Some students have claimed that two of the questions on the survey may lead students to choose optional abortion coverage over mandatory coverage. However, only four of the 57 questions on the Health Insurance survey deal with the question of abortion coverage. The presidentially appointed UB Advisory Committee has nearly completed the survey, which is to be a key factor in its decision to either recommend or reject the inclusion of abortion coverage in the 1979-80 policy. Sub Board, the policy holder, has already declared its support for the mandatory coverage next year, but the student services corporation must eventually get University approval of the entire plan. According to Linda Sudan of Women’s Studies College (WSC), the criticism of the survey centers on the wording of question 52 which outlines a main argument of the UB Rights of Conscience group add question 53, which uses the term conscientious objectors which has been linked to that same group. Repressive The Rights of Conscience group, while identifying itself as neither pro-life nor pro-choice, has come out vehemently against the mandatory coverage, preferring an optional plan. Question 52 reads: “A$ you may know, some UB students feel that paying for abortion coverage is against their conscience. How do you feel the insurance policy should handle those students who want the insurance but feel the abortion coverage is against their conscience?” Jane Archer, a student, said the question i*. “repressive” given the phraseology and told WSC about it. Sudano felt the wording predisposes someone to answer for the optional coverage, especially if the respondent has no set opinion. “I can word this so people would agree to my point of view right away,” Sudano asserted. “The survey should be considered invalid and stopped.” Survey creator Robert O’Shea admitted “There's. always -tha-possibilky-of: bias*”, -but-added — commented. — -■ - - _ - - McGUINN, CLARK & criticism of the Health Insurance Advisory Committee’s telephone sampling has cast doubts on the survey’s ability to accurately gauge opinion of the mandatory abortion coverage now included in Sub Board I’s student Health Insurance - - ' “on this particular issue, I went the extra mile to ' develop consensus on the wording.” Sub Board Chairman Jane Baum confirmed that the wording was screened by Sub Board Executive Director Dennis Black, Director of Campus Health Services M.

The survey was prepared, Baum said, before the March 8 Open Forum that clarified the stands of both key parties the Rights of Conscience group and the Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse (CARASA). Baum, whose vote broke a 4-4 tie in Sub Board’s decision to again include the mandatory coverage, said she would contend the validity of the question before the Advisory Committee when the results are analyzed. The Committee is “very flexible and open minded,” according to Baum, who is confident it will see her point. “I sense that they’re not too happy with the (Sub Board) decision,” Baum said, “But I’m not worried.” Sudano however was not as confident. “She (Baum) may not be worried, but we are," Sudano Editor HILLMAN APRIL 26 E.C.C.

The question, however, does not distinguish between mandatory and optional coverage. Karen Brent, a student who has been surveying students, felt it does not lead people to answer in favor of optional coverage. “People who are against abortion don’t get asked that question,” she nqted. “It doesn’t give anti-abortion people their spy.” According to Brent, who collected results froih 15 interviews, “95 percent” of those answering number — 52 will favormandatory coverage. Baum stressed her confidence that mandatory abortion coverage will remain in the policy. “1 think that the (Sub Board) decision is going to stand and I will do everything in my power to make sure it does,” she said.

Reiss Special to The Spectrum Dean denies Dean of Arts and l«tters George Levine denied Monday that he has cut a line in the Women’s Studies program in American Studies which would leave the battered section with only half a faculty line for next year. Women's Studies College faculty cut Levine’s comments came as a response to charges made by American Studies’ professors that Levine and Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn had reneged on their commitment to maintain at least two and one half faculty positions in Women’s Studies. They claimed that Levine and Bunn had decided not to replace the vacancy created by Professor Lillian Robinson’s recent resignation, leaving the program in a desperate position. If the line were not replaced, the program would have only half a line since Professor Elizabeth Kennedy will go on sabatical next year, leaving only Ellen DuBois to coordinate the entire academic program ofWomen’s Studies College (WSC). DuBois spends halfher time here teaching history. What’s going on? An obviously frustrated Levine said he hadn’t any idea where officials in American Studies and Women’s Studies got the impression that he had decided to cut the line. “If the people in Women’s Studies College took the time to listen to what they were told, they wouldn’t write the letter,” said Levine, referring to a Guest Opinion written by supporters of WSC which appeared in The Spectntm on Wednesday, March 28. “I told them I was not going back on any commitment. I fully expect to make a replacement for Lillian Robinson. I don’t understand what they are talking about.” A number of Women’s Studies supporters had expressed the hope that Bunn and Levine would make some temporary services money available to the bcleagured program, enabling it to at least survive next year. Chairman of American Studies Charles Keil said he had learned that Bunn promised Levine that the money would be given to Women’s Studies for the coming year, giving WSC one and a halflines. But Keil indicated that temporary service money isn’t the answer because it only oilers a brief solution when long term decisions must be made. ‘Weil be in the same crisis next year,” he said. “Temporary services money is the worst possible solution. That puts us in the same position every time and we end up living in crisis. There’s simply no end in sight; it’s constant anxiety and turmoil.” levine asserted that he has always said he was committed to replacing Robinson and has never intended to use temporary services money to fill the vacancy. “They don’t know what the hell they’re talking about with temporary services money,” he said. “I’ve always told them I’m going to replace Robinson but they have trouble believing that." Levine said he is unable to offer Women’s Studies a firm commitment on a temporary replacement for Kennedy, but claimed that he is making every effort to gel replacement money for her line. 1 • Not delivering Keil was less than convinced that Women’s Studies really had a commitment, although he said he hoped it was true. “We haven’t been able to appoint anyone on that line yet,” he said. “They’re not delivering.” Keil explained that American Studies is anxious to make an appointment to replace Robinson but has not been given the green light from Arts and Letters, “We want to appoint someone,” he said, “so what’s happening?” * ' • —continued on page 8 Explosion of grain elevators threatens Buffalo Waterfront by Robbie Cohen National Editor Four Buffalo waterfront grain elevators, owned by four different flour and cereal companies, could be the scene of disastrous explosions unless several dangerous safety violations are corrected, an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) official told The Spectrum Monday. Thusfar, the hazards have gone unreported by the Buffalo news media. Ronald Newton, an OSHA compliance officer, disclosed that the Labor Department agency has issued safety hazard citations to four of five companies operating grain elevators along the Erie lakefront. The four firms, General Mills, Pillsbury, Standard Elevators and Peavey, are charged with violating OSHA fire regulations that are designed to minimize the chance of a spark or static electricity setting off grain dust fires or explosions. According to the federal agency, the companies have failed to install hoods oyer mill motors, thus increasing the chance of a spark triggered explosion in the dust filled elevators. Moreover, the mills, OSHA charged, are not equipped with metal separators, devices that are designed to remove extraneous metal which invariably accumulates in the grain during the handling process. The metal, which ranges from dust to bolts to wrenches, also poses a fire threat, due to -its static electricity potential, Newton indicated. the South, and especially in Galveston, Texas. The explosions have resulted in fifty fatalities, and six of the fatalities have been federal inspectors. Consequently, grain elevator safety has become a “national hazard priority,” Newton said. The OSHA citations include several thousand dollars in proposed penalties for the is charged with 29 violations companies. for a total of $2, 400 in penalties. The civil penalties are “proposed” twcause the firms have right of contest to the violations, a right all four have exercised. Company and union officials could not be reached for comment by press time. The OSHA citations' on March 26, following general inspection- tours of the plants. The Buffalo area lakefront serves as the site for five large grain elevators. The grain, which comes in by both ship and*tt&i is stored in the elevators and then processed Iritb marketable flour and cereal products. International Multifoods is the only company operating a grain mill on the lakefront that was not issued*n OSHA citation. The grain elevators, in terms of bushel capacity, are comparable in size to other elevators around the country. The hazards here, Newton observed, are similar to those at the eight grain elevators which are eventually ripped by violent explosions. They are highly vulnerable to the constant threat of flash fires which can spread uncontrollably and almost instantaneously in the dust filled elevator v atmosphere. OSHA maintains that this peril is always present > National hazard priority Over the past two years there have been eight disastrous grain elevator explosions, most of them in while company officials contend that only during equipment breakdowns. o> a danger exists Resident Advisors' room status decision due Friday RA and the overall effect on the RA-floor relationship.

While 68 beds might hot seem like many, at this point Snyder is willing to take anything he can get. “To bring as many people who wish housing into the dorms is a positive result that should be stained,” Snyder said.

With the fall implementation of the Springer Report, students will receive only three credits for the same courses which currently offer four credits. The three summer sessions will again overlap, allowing students to attend a maximum of only two complete sessions. The summer calendar will be: Session I, from June 4 to July 13; Session II, from June 25 to August 3; and Session III, from July 16 to August 24. According to Ahrens, the overlapping is deliberately scheduled to accomodate the many public school teachers who begin summer school at the end of June to complete their degrees or certificates. To assist students in the transition to the Springer Report, students may register for 16 semester hours an increase of two credits from last year’s limit without approval, according to Dean of Undergraduate Education (DUE) John Peradotto. The per credit' tuition will remain at S2S. Although each session has a maximum load of eight credits, students who elect Jo take courses in overlapping sessions shortening their time in summer school may only take 12 Credits total in the — — — — two sessions. The first day of “on line” registration and “open registration” at Hayes Annex B begins today. With the “on line” registration, UB students can save two weeks of waiting for their schedule cards. The “open registration" procedure affords other college students and high school graduates an opportunity to register withoutformal application to the university.

Karen Gee — — by Daniel S. Parker News Editor Carl Cavage, owner of Cavages Record Stores, informed The Spectrum Monday that he was forced to close his University Plaza outlet partly because of cometition from UB’s Record Co-op. Cavages and the Co-op have been engaged in a law suit since 1975 because of Cavage’s contention that the Squire Hall based operation represents unfair competition to his store. In a press release, sent to The Sepctrum from Buffalo Enterprises a corporation Cavage heads Cavages stated that the decision to close the University Plaza store “was based principally on substantial economic loss sustained by the operation. “These losses are in major part attributable to the operation of a student group record co-op at the adjoining Main Street campus in facilities provided by SUNYAB at no cost for rent, utilities, maintenance and related expenses.” — — LIB restrictions In November 1975, UB Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty closed the Co-op after a complaint from Cavage that the Co-op was competing unfairly with his University Plaza store. University President Robert L. Ketter reopened the Coop one month .later, restricting it to an inventory of $22,000 and a monthly sales limitation of $10,000. Recently, both Cavage and the Co-op have been negotiating, but a settlement appears unlikely especially in view of Cavage’s claim that the Co-op was partially responsible for the declining business of the University Plaza branch. — Cavage’s lawyer Charles Sandler, and his wife Elizabeth, both declined to explain the “economic loss sustained by the operation.” The unsigned press release stated, “This matter is presently in litigation before the New York State Supreme Court.” Sandler said, “I’m amenable to meeting with interested parties to se6 if the matter can be resolved amicably, but I have no further comment.” However, Student Association (SA) attorney Richard Lippes did respond to Cavage’s claim. Although Lippes said he “has no way of knowing” how the court case will be affected, he remarked, “I do not believe that a facility as large as Cavages could have been economically hurt to die extent that they’d have to close their doors based upon the limited amount of competition they receive from the Record Co-op.” Bitching business Furthermore, Lippes claimed that if students did stop going to Cavages, “it’s possible the reason stems from Cavage’s attempt to close the Co-op.” Co-op officials told The Spectrum Monday that they were not in favor of continuing the negotiations with Cavages for an out-of-court settlement. SA President Karl Schwartz, who noted he would meet with Lippes to discuss the matter, said “It looks like stopping negotiations is the only alternative.” Schwartz claimed that Cavages has come to settlement negotiations with “proposals that are way out of line. Yet he declined to elaborate on proposal specifics because the matter may still be negotiated. However, Schwartz did refute Cavage’s claim that the Co-op is partially responsible for the decline of the University Plaza store.

The informal gathering witnessed student-candidate discussion over current University issues such as General Education, the tuition increase, and the spending of mandatory student fees. Ben Rossett, Force Party candidate for president, began by calling for the restructuring of the present SA, a view held by four of the five presidential candidates. He proposed that a new congress be established, open to any interested student. In other areas, Rossett dted the need for SA funding -of WIRC, the student radio station, and the end of “monopolies” on campus such as The Spectrum and Food Service. “If we had different operators running each cafeteria,” he said, “there would be a drop in prices and an increase in quality.” / Schwartz, Michael Poly-unsaturated Party candidate for president, sttted that SA’s current problems stem from its hierarchical system. Schwartz said if elected, he would set up a steering committee consisting of up to 100 students with no one to work for person in charge - — students. Schwartz also attacked a recent proposal that would require Resident Advisors (RA’s) to have roommates starting next year, and reiterated his plan, if elected, to have a “Spring-ln” next year paid for with his stipend, which Schwartz, said he would not accept. candidate Unity Party Gunawan Suliawan was also critical of Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty’s decision that may require many RA’s to have roommates next fall, stating that it would infringe on their duties. Suliawan also proposed that a Bill of Rights SWJ A house united The next speaker, Indian Party presidential candidate Michael Stephen Levinson also expressed his views on restructuring the student government. He proposed a House of Representatives be formed, which, like Rossett’s proposal, would allow any student to participate. The House would meet once a week, he stated, and all legislation they pass would come up for ratification before consisting of elected the Senate students serving two year terms. Levinson hoped that participating students would receive University course credit. Levinson also advanced the idea of bringing professional basketball back to Buffalo and UB. He said that a new National Basketball Association (NBA) franchise in Buffalo could play their games in the planned 10,000 seat fieldhouse on the Amherst Campus. Last year, the Buffalo Braves of the NBA moved to San Diego. Progress Party candidate for president Joel Mayersohn, the only candidate in favor of the present SA structure, spoke about the need for increased student input into University decisions concerning the General Education Plan and the Springer Report Mayersohn who is currently SA said Executive Vice President ho realizes the need for General “It’s claiming Education, important that a student have a well-rounded ■ education when they leave here, but the current plan has its flaws, such as the foreign language requirement.” - , < # — — Reappointment voice Mayersohn also pointed out that President Ketter’s decision whether to seek another term — to ELECTION ELABORATION; Candidates for the Student Association ISA) elections reiterated their campaign platforms Monday night In the Ellieott Complex's Porter Cafeteria.

The only reason we have to doubt Levine is the strongly-worded warnings of Women's Studies and American Studies officials, who say that the Dean Has reneged on his commitment to maintain three lines in the program. While it is not clear why there is such a critical disagreement on what Levine did and did not say, it is quite apparent that Women's Studies needs that faculty line desperately and cannot survive without power S.A.’s organizational structure and an extension of the campaigning period would enable students to gain sharper insights into the issues. Placing The Spectrums perspective in its proper light is another question that must be addressed It’s position, that students receive sufficient input concerning the election is only half-true. Candidate statements and forums probably reach a mere one-fourth of the student population at most. While also considering the magnitude of The Spectrum’s journalistic voice, it becomes ironical that The Spectrum endorsed candidates and referendums almost always win. Assertions that the endorsements are well-substantiated and offset by other campus publications are misconceived. There must be a shift in power from existing bureaucratic S.A. hacks and The Spectrum editors to an, in the future, well informed public, namely us, the students. Once again, we the students have been hoodwinked in our Student Association elections. There is a mutual responsibility on the part of our present government, campus publications and each individual student to remain enlightened on campus issues. Nevertheless, through our own ineptitude, misconceptions and apathy, student elections continue to remain a facical half-joke. Not only is the campaigning period far too short a time, but there is a clear failure on the S.A.’spart to effectively communicate its current points at issue and propose realistic stances and measures for action to students. This failure combined with student non-involvement is responsible for our existing ignorance and the predictable future inability to alter issues, like Springer this year, which are pushed upon a hapless student body. Perhaps a more outgoing effort by S.A. to inform its constituency of Departments throughout the faculty of Arts and Letters are facing cuts, given Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn's priorities, but the situation in Women's Studies is unique. With such a meager budget, maintenance of quality is a secondary issue to the maintenance of the program's place in this University. If slashed to the level of one or two faculty lines, one of the most promising and innovative academic programs at SUNY Buffalo may wither away to nothing, and its special perspective on our society and on the University environment will be lost. Lillian Robinson must be replaced. But more importantly, the University Administration at every level must begin to demonstrate a moral commitment to the philosophical foundation and academic integrity of Women's Studies, as well as to its minimum requirements for survival. Excellence is what we all want; but excellence cannot breed in an environment of daily frustration and — shift in To the Editor: Gene H. Schwall Open mind endorsements between two candidates when such a discrepancy had no functional value. I reviewed your endorsement many times and found no clear criteria or basis for your decision to endorse my opponent. So I question; Why the need or necessity to endorse two students who you admittedly regard as equally strong candidates? I can only hope that students will vote with an open mind and information on which to base sound To the Editor. At this point with the election in full swing, I wish to state my final thoughts on the position of Director of Academic Affairs, and the endorsements published in The Spectru, i on Monday, April 2nd, 1979. I am confused on how the editorial board can appraise me as a “strong candidate” with solid familiarity on the issues, yet, still use adjectives such as “merely informed”, and “mistakenly thought” in their endorsements. While my opponent who was also rated as a “strong candidate” received adulations with such adjectives such as “wisely suggested and “correctly identified”. Thus, a great discrepency was bom in your — annual uncertainty. RA’s: symptom of a warp Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty should consider the very legitimate objections of dormitory Resident Advisors and reverse his hastily-conceived decision to force roommates upon some R A's. But the very fact that Doty is at the center of the action on such a dispute indicates why the quality of student life here is so and logical opinion. Michael Bergstein Former S. A. Senator Springer Implementation Committee Candidate for Director of Academic Affairs. consistently poor. There is nothing inherent in the housing of students In dormitory halls that ought to be decided by the University's finance expert. There are many things inherent in the billing of students, the pricing of rooms and the construction of dorms that might be legitimately Doty's domain; but who should live where is a quality of life decision and it rightly belongs in the hands of housing officials first and the Division of Student Affairs second. Because of a warped administrative structure, the Housing office reports to Vice President for Finance and Management. But the warp is no accident, it reflects the weight the University gives students' problems when designing an administrative bureaucracy. If a decision like doubling up RA's fell to Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Siggelkow, we cannot guarantee the results but we can be sure that housing officials and student leaders would have been consulted first. It is typical, so damnably typical of this University, that a quality of life decision is made by cost-conscience finance experts rather than by the men and women who live and work among students. Resident Advisors who are battling Doty's decision should realize that they are confronting the symptom of a much larger problem. They ought not to stop with reversing the roommate decision; but should press for an administrative shift that will remove Doty's power over quality of life concerns.

Right now, families are evacuating their homes; some of them having nowhere to go. Citizens of the Buffalo area have already mobilized to offer beds to these people. Groups like the West Valley Coalition, NYPIRG, and the Sierra Club, which have been very active in influencing legislation concerning the safety and location of nuclear waste storage in Western New York, have shifted thenenergies to helping the people of Harrisburgh, Pennsylvania. Currently a list of available beds is being drawn up to be sent to Pennsylvania so that more may evacuate their homes if needed. The people living in West Valley and surrounding communities seem to be especially sympathetic to the victims in Harrisburgh. They know what it is like to live near what even scientists have called a “Time Bomb”. v,' «'.r year. Obviously, and with good has downplayed the seriousness of the accident to prevent panic.

The 30 hour event, held in Squire Hall's Fillmore Room, witnessed the finish of the 31 of the 38 couples who entered. Although sore feet and tired legs plagued many of the dancers, both organizers and participants were pleased with the fund-raiser's sucess. This year's drive toppled previous years' dance marathon earnings. In 1977, the marathon's first year, $2200 was raised. Last year, that figure jumped to $6900. CAC Director Gary Montan te said, "Everything went smoothly, there were no major problems." Montante praised co-chairparsons Ed Drawee and Dawn Christenson along with all the participants and sponsors of the event. Montante also noted Food Service’s "tremendous help."

Snyder added that off campus housing, which usually provided “some relief for the overcrowded dorms, has recently become an unpredictable, unknown factor. “In recent years the demand for on-campus housing has increased while off campus units have shrunk in number,” Snyder said. The expected increased demand for on-campus housing weighed heavily in Doty’s decision, he added. The RA’s dilemma has been further complicated by the returning Housing lottery being conducted this week. iRoWs' Wing Ding Minority Student Affairs presents a Thins “Private Rollerskating Party” One double order of Chicken Wings April I9th FREE with the purchase of a double.

He added RA’s have until Friday to accept or reject the offer so the amount who will decline the job due to Doty’s decision will not be known until the middle of the week. “I doubt whether many will reject the position,” he guessed. Meanwhile, the prospect of being doubled has not exactly thrilled the current RA’s. Besides organizing against the decision, RA’s are upset that their potential roommates will probably be unknown to them until September. “If 1 personally had a choice I would hope that I would be able to room with someone that I knew I’d be able to get along with,” one RA said. Even if Doty would be willing to compromise on this issue, the timing of the Housing lottery precludes the doubled RA’s from choosing their roommates.

He explained that Arts and Letters has been forced to absorb 12 of the 24 faculty cuts slated for this University and that these depletions forced him to- make many unfortunate cuts in the Faculty. He asserted that it is unfair that Arts and Letters must take half of the University’s line cuts and said he has been “screaming” to Bunn and Ketter about the problem. But, Levine admitted, his screaming might not change Bunn’s decision to dice 12 lines from Arts and Letters. Both Levine and Kcil agreed that much of the problem lies with the State decision-making process which allows officials in Albany to mandate that cuts be made at one University but not at another. Levine said that SUNY at Stony Brook has suffered the same enrollment difficulties as has UB, but that the Long Island institution has received funds to add eight new positions while Buffalo has been forced to cut 24. Levine said he received the information from Provost of Arts and Humanities at Stony Brook Sandy Petrey. He said neither he nor Petrey knew why Stony Brook was receiving the seemingly preferential treatment.

Contrary to popular belief, the Three Mile Island Reactor is not housed in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, but in the miniscule village of Londonderry just outside of Middletown.

Night after night we have tuned in to our televisions to get the latest on probably the worst and certainly the most publicized reactor accident in the 20 year history of commerical nuclear power. Other near-catastrophes like the nuclear plant fire at Brown’s Ferry, Alabama in 1975, and the near-meltdown and explosion in 1966 of the Fermi Fast Breeder experimental reactor outside of Detroit, may have been more potentially dangerous situations overall; but for the sheer volume of press coverage and unprecedented amount of national attention focused upon it, Harrisburg far outshadows all other atomic accidents. It appears that most of the danger of a meltdown or a large scale escape of radioactivity has passed, as of Sunday. A large gas bubble composed of oxygen, hydrogen and xenon that had formed unexpectedly atop the reactor core, has, according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), almost completely dissipated. > Good luck stroke The bubble had been hampering efforts to cool the reactor’s damaged fuel rods, by taking up space that otherwise would have been occupied by water coolant. Thus the top portion of the zirconium coated uranium fuel rods were left exposed to extremely high temperatures all during the time that the bubble was relatively large. Had the bubble expanded even further it could have posed the terrible threat of a core meltdown where the fuel rods, under temperatures in excess of 5000 degrees, Unofficial evacuation The big remaining hazard is now the extremely high levels of radioactivity within the domed reactor containment structure, estimated to be around 30,000 rems per hour or approximately 10 limes the NRC’s lethal dose estimate. NRC technicians must not only continue to cool down the damaged fuel rods within the reactor core, but must also find a way to dissipate these lethal radioactivity levels. There is talk that the entire billion dollar reactor complex will have to be junked as a result of this situation, although utility officials vehemently deny such reports. Official reports conflict on whether the reactor core has been irreparably damaged. Although so far, no official evacuation has been ordered by Pennsylvania Governor Richard Thornburgh, an estimated 200,000 citizens have left the Harrisburg area. Reportedly many are returning now. Radiation in the direct vicinity of the plant has been measured at 30 the same amount of radiation the millirems per hour absorbs from a dental body x-ray. However, one of the several puffs of steam escaping from the plant through the massive cooling towers measured a radioactivity level of 1300 millirems. It is difficult to determine exactly what the radiation figures mean, in part because large-scale effects are often not discernible for generations. Also, the amount of time one is exposed to any specific radiation amount is the crucial factor in assessing its detrimental effects. Even low - at tha Ml Promised town citizens 'contingency would melt into a molten pool of uranium. A meltdown would bum through the protective floor of the containment vessel and into the earth, releasing lethal quantities of radioactivity.

There are now 70 active nuclear power plants in the U.S. with 90 under construction, an overall average of more than'three for every state in the union.

Mile Cqnsider the following: In 1957 a major accident occurred at the Windscale reactor in England. Massive radiation leakages forced the confiscation of cows and sheep for many square miles. Thousands of gallons of contaminated milk were dumped into the Irish Sea and abnormal radiation levels were recorded as far away as London, 300 miles distant. In 1966, the Fermi 1 reactor at Monroe, Michigan suffered a partial meltdown. The plant had been bitterly opposed by the UAW, which took its case all the way to the Supreme Court, but was otherwise a mystery to most residents of the state. On Octiber 5th of that year, the plant shut down that forced its operators to experienced an emergency consider the possibility evacuating Detroit. of In 1975, a major catastrophe occurred at the Browns Ferry, Ala„ nuclear plant. The accident began when a workman, inspecting some wiring with a candle, ignited a $100 million fire that threatened a holocaust even worse than what’s now happertng in Pennsylvania. Abnormal cancer rates Last year, another major accident occurred at the Duane Arnold reactor in Iowa. And there have been others at the SL-1 reactor in Idaho where three men were killed; at two separate experimental reactors in Canada; and at a nuclear dump in the Soviet Union where indications are strong that an area of 70 - square miles was obliterated. None of these accidents made headlines. In fact, I was ah editor of a daily newspaper and a UPI correspondent in Ann Arbor 40 miles from the Fermi plant when the 1966 accident occurred. But neither I nor anyone else I knew heard a word about it until seven years later, with the publication of John G. Fuller’s “We Almost Lost Detroit.” Through it all, the nuclear industry has repeatedly assured the public that the plants are safe. But for more than a decade, some of the world’s leading doctors and scientists have been warning about the dangers of nucleapenergy. Dr. John Gofman, co-discoverer of uranium 233 isotope and a participator in the Manhattan project that developed the atomic bomb, predicted five years agp that normal operation of American nuclear reactors even without a major accident could cause some 30,000 additional deaths each year from cancer, leukemia and birth defects. Dr. Ernest Stemglass of the University of Pittsburgh has - - repeatedly published findings that residents of the area near the shipping port reactor close to Pittsburgh have suffered from abnormal cancer rates. Dr. Thomas Mancuso, also of the University of Pittsburgh, has found that nuclear workers also suffer abnormal cancer rates. And there have been others: Dr. Rosalie Bertel, Dr. Martha Drake, Dr. Helen Caldicott, all with the same basic warning.

Presently, just 12.5 peicent of US electricity is nuclear generated by the 72 reactors in operation. According to a recent FEderal study, nuclear energy can never make a significant contribution to the world’s energy supplies, and can only marginally trim fossil fuel imports. The comprehensive report by the Arms Control and Agency, Disarmament an independent group, stresses that improved efficiency of existing fuel sources, and enactment of conservation methods, are the most viable ways to deal with future energy needs. Americans waste an estimated 50 percent of the energy produced here.

Soaring costs It wasn’t really until May, 1977, when 2000 members of the Clamshell Alliance marched onto a nuclear site at Seabrook, N.H., that atomic energy became an issue widely debated by mainstream America.

Inexcusable negligence The Babcock an'd Wilcox firm, builders of the power reactors at Three Mile Island Plant (Harrisburg), have come under scrutiny from the NRC. The company has five U.S. reactors identical to the Harrisburg no. 2 reactor now in operation. One of these reactors, a unit in California, may be shut down as a consequence of California Governor Jerry Brown’s request to the NRC that it cease operation until the Harrisburg accident findings are clarified. A Ralph Nader group. Critical Mass, charged the NRC with inexcusable negligence for failing to shut down the Three Mile Island Plant months ago. Critical Mass maintains that the NRC had full knowledge that the reactor was unsafe, citing several repeated breakdowns of water circulation equipment during the previous three months of the plant’s operation. The Harrisburg mishap was practically a “classical” reactor accident, combining human and mechanical error in an equation that spelled the shutdown of the reactor’s crucial cooling system. Detail for detail.it almost parallels the fictional account of a near meltdown in the recently released motion picture, “The China Syndrome.”. Although most of the danger has passed, many problems remain. Experts say that many days, possibly weeks, must elapse before the reactor’s core is cooled to acceptable levels. At present the.fuel rods are reported at a stable temperature of under 400 degrees fahrenheit. One atomic scientist from MIT has publicly commented that nuclear scientists and the industry, in dealing with the mishap, were immersing themselves in a sea of unknowns, a situation pointed out most effectively by the unanticipated appearance of a gas bubble. “They are like children playing in the woods,” the scientist said. Children, by virtue of they growing tissues, are the most prone to cell damage by radiation. Had a meltdown occurred, woods stretching for thousands of miles could foster only contaminated tree houses. / j ■/ V- v It's like having a door-to-door salesman working just for you! 355 Squire Hall �Middletown A festive local atmosphere by Robert Basil Feature Editor MIDDLETOWN, PA.

The 70 reactors now operable in the U.S. represent the vanguard of a trillion dollar investment. They supply roughly 10 per cent Of the nation’s electricity and carry the hopes of more than 35 years of concentrated scientific and industrial development. Undoubtedly, the industry could count on the furor surrounding last week’s accident to die down, and for the weight of the financial and techtiological investment involved to counterbalance this week’s emotion.

He maintains that if he permits the Legislature to be the ‘court of last resort’, it could set a dangerous precedent.” Upon the SUNY Board of Trustees’ March 2 decision to hike tuition $150 for lower division students, Assembly Speaker Stanley Fink advised SASU to with the support of the push lower house for reallocation of funds within the executive budget to provide additional monies to SUNY. “Yet, the Senate was continually opposed to getting involved,” Schillinger claimed. “The Board is totally dominated by the Governor and the Division of Budget. Our argument was that legislative interference could restore some semblance of order,” he added. According to SASU President Steve Alli.iger, “We came close to stopping it, but problems with school formulas and local assistance areas of the budget overshadowed the issue.” Tuition at the UB Law School is still unsettled. The only public law school in the state. UB was originally cited for a $200 tuitjbn increase which would jump fee to $2200. Yet, numei Campus Editor Defying an April 1 constitution deadline for enacting at least part of the Governor’s proposed 1979-80 budget, the state legislature failed to pass any budget bills this weekend, but the long-threatened tuition hike appeared at last to be a reality. For the first time since 1965, the legislature bid farewell to the old fiscal year without making accommodations for the new one. The legislature was set to pass at least the rudiments of the budget at press time Monday night. Legislative Director for the Student Association of State Universities (SASU) Larry Schillinger said decisions on SUNY funding were expected Monday, while capital construction and the local assistance budgets would be debated later in the week. He maintained that legislative leaders have the power to postpone budget passage. Although no decision on the SUNY budget had been made as of late Monday evening, SASU officials and State legislators were inclined to snuff out any last breath of hope that the decision to hike tuition would be reversed. Said Schillinger, “It doesn’t look good. In fact, I can tell you we’ve lost.” sources now question certainty of the proposal. the Trustees' pride On Friday AHinger offered a “slight word of encouragement for a reduction from the original proposed figure.” He explained that SUNY Chancellor Clifton R.

The defending national champions, Cornell, showed why its team is number one, decisioning every team they faced. The hosts had tried to schedule five games for March 31, but time and energy did not allow it, despite the availability of three fine . outdoor fields. 1 UB got off to a slow start against a well-disciplined Cornell squad, and after trailing 6-1 at half time, wound up losing 13-3. UB’s second game was a very tight contest with Ithaca College, which Ithace won 14-13 by stalling away the final seconds. With Steve Kluga and Greg Kurtz repeatedly hooking up on scoring tosses, UB held an 11-10 lead with four minutes remaining. After falling behind by one, UB knotted the score at 12 when Randy West made a fine catch in the end zone. But the lack of practicing on a full-sized field looks its toll UB tired and was mipped at the gun. Due to leg injuries to the irreplaceable Steve Paiewonsky and Gene Pien, the third match against Syracuse University was played without the benefit of substitution. After talcing the field chanting ‘Their dome is our doom!,” UB opened a quick 3-0 lead, but was tied at the half, 7-7. Khiga was UB’s outstanding performer throughout the contest, but the team was unable to keep up with the pace, and finally succumbed, 15-10. - 3 — Too tired By the end of its third game UB had five barely able players (UB dressed nine altogether) and was forced to pick up some of Binghamton’s extra players (in order to complete a seven-man team) and played an exhibition game against the hosts. UB’s play showed a marked improvement, and with a complete contingent could have recorded its first win of the season. If its depleted treasury can finance it, UB will compete in another tourney in the near future. The dub also plans to sponsor a Frisbee Games Day, which will indude various events, such as frisbee golf, distance events, and freestyle and ultimate demonstrations.

The outdoor team can point to its strengths with pride. “We have hurdles runners, plus good middle distance runners,” Bell said.

Amidst sweeping safety assurances, erratic radiation estimates arid- conflicting meltdown reports, one thing was frighteningly clear: no one knew just how safe the residents of Harrisburg were, nor how much radiation had been leaked, nor how far the uncertain meltdown had progressed. An accident deemed “nearly impossible” for decades by the nuclear on the effects of radiation on man. “In my view,” he -said Saturday, “the quasi-official statements in the press and on TV are totally irresponsible. No one knows how much actual radiation has been had occurred. Wednesday’s initial reports from plant personnel, who vehemently denied the possible existence of serious radiation leaks, the need for evacuation, and further all three later emerging damage as reality only demonstrate the atomic industry’s blindness to the hazards it generates, many feel. “The nuclear industry has been following a script: no matter what happens, they say ‘don’t worry’,” stated cancer expert Irwin Bross. “For years these people have represented the voice of authority but this time the events made liars of them in hours.” Bross is director of Biostatistics at Park Memorial Roswell Institute and has done extensive research industry — received by human beings.” Research at Roswell Park has shown that exposure to even low levels of radiation causes humans to age at a faster than normal rate. Radiation has a cumulative effect on the body and even minimal exposure can result in an increase in birth defects and cancer, — particularly leukemia. — Routine foul-ups The striking parallels between the Harrisburg disaster and a Arson suspected in rash near-accident in- the recently Scientists through the Freedom of China Information Act.

The Nugget File was uncovered by the Union of blazes. Early Friday morning a fire was started at a loading dock in Capen Hall (on the academic spine) assumed to be the work of the persons who have been igniting small blazes at EUicott-over the past few weeks. According to the Director of the Department of Public Safety Lee Griffin, “The trash fire in Capen caused minimal structural damage, but we have reason to believe that it is the same party which has been setting fires out at Ellicott.” He added that the Capen fire occurred within 40 minutes of another incident of less significance at O’Brien, also on the academic spine.

Likewise, Wan Director of UB’s Nuclear Reactor Griffin said he has reason to believe that two persons one male, one female are setting the fires, which at this point have caused more alarm than damage. “I don’t think the persons involved intend to cause any real damage, but the situation could be dangerous,” Griffin remarked. Explaining a “very serious” condition, th»-University Police Director identified bulletin boards, posters, doors, shower curtains and trash cans as items which have attracted the arsonist(s). Fargo Quadrangle, a residence hall in Ellicott, has been the recent target of frequent small blazes. Students living there have, in the past week, been disturbed as many as three times a night by persistent fire alarms set off by few flames and much smoke. Everyone out The “game”, however, is spawning fear in dorm residents. Many fear that a small fire could at any time turn into a major blaze. This concern, coupled with a stricter Univeristy Housing policy, has resulted in full building evacuations every time the alarm sounds. Fargo Head Resident Phil Samuels told The Spectrum “From now on, fire alarms will not be turned off until every person is evacuted from the building.” All Resident Advisors (RAs) have been instructed to open every room in Fargo with their master key to ensure that the evacuation is complete. Similar problems at other SUNY schools have heightened fears of residence hall personnel and students. SUNY at New Paltz experienced an almost identical sequence of arsons in 1977 which eventually, because of smoke damage, temporarily closed one dorm as a health and safety hazard. Griffin said, “there have been a lot of manpower changes and shifts. Additionally, a meeting with the residence hall staff and members of the Department of Public Safety was called last Thursday to discuss the catching problem. - Elena Cacavas — �N * OL CHAR Rooties i fr •** BROILED HOTS Now Available 315 Stahl Road - Pttmp � MMertptrt Hary.

The pump breakdown in the non-nuclear part of the plant led to a failure of the nuclear reactor cooling system which was then flooded by monitoring technicians when they discovered that the core temperature was rising rapidly. However the technicians werennable to close these water valves and this led to an escape of radioactive steam.

Since Wednesday the Harrisburg incident has been characterized by conflicting statements and reports regarding both the potential dangers and day to day developments. Initially officials of the Metropolitan Edison Company, the utility, that runs the reactor, reported that the situation was localised and under control. However, subsequent radioactive emissions and complications in cooling the reactor’s core quickly silenced these claims.

If passed by the State Senate, the bill, sponsored by Whitestone), will apply only to Leonard Stavisky (D elementary and secondary public schools not - - Universities. t t an Asbestos has been linked to mensothelioma incurable lung cancer in addition to cancers of the throat, stomach, colon and rectum. explained thait a similar measure is currently being considered by Congress. He told The Spectrum that the parallel bill, which currently is in mark-up (exact wording is being debated) will provide for matching funds from the Federal government. Assemblyman Stavisky told The Spectrum this is the! first bill in the nation dealing with the State’s involvement in examining potential asbestos dangers. He explained that one reason the bill does not cover higher education is that colleges lack the uniformity of public school districts, making implementation more difficult. Furthermore, Stavisky noted, his committee does not have jurisdiction over higher education. But he said, “We hope to gain valuable experience and to share it with other public Local look buildings.” - - The bill mandates on-site inspections by local school officials based on written and photographic material that will be supplied by the State along with corresponding repairs, if deemed necessary. Health hazards will be determined by standards set by the commissioners of health and education. “It will provide a model of procedure,” Stavisky commented. - — First step The measure calls for the State Education Department school districts evaluate how much asbestos is present and provide guidelines for eliminating hazardous conditions. Asbestos was used extensively as a building material between 1946 and 1972. One official revealed that up to 100 million tons of asbestos were manufactured in the U S. each year and that 77 percent of that was used in building materials. to help Although the measure has only passed the Assembly, backet's expect it will not have trouble getting through the Senate. Stavisky, who noted the Senate may act on it this week, remarked, “We have broad, bi-partisan support.” In addition to the State bill, the Assemblyman As the State’s public school measure nears completion, New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) Legislative Director Frank Butterini revealed that NYPIRG staff scientists have already met with Buffalo Board of Education officials concerning potential asbestos hazards. NYPIRG Was responsible for uncovering asbestos in UB’s Baird Hall and has been in the forefront of the fight .to ensure potential health hazards here are safely resolved. Butterini commented, “We know asbestos was used in Buffalo, but tt|e nature and potential hazards are yet to be determined.” He also applauded Stavisky’s bill, but said, “It’s important that the guidelines are stringent and take account of hazards that have been uncovered in recent '*' v environmental studies.** Daniil S. Parker ' Cavages closing may alter Co-op defense With the dosing of University Plaza’s Cavages Record Store, the future of the Student Record Coop and its defense against a lawsuit brought by Carl Cavage, appears unclear. President of the Coop Alan Stein told The Spectrum that there are two possible effects of the store’s sudden Cavages closing; either the case will be moot since Cavages will no longet by competing directly with the Coop, or Cavage may claim that the student Coop contributed to his store going out of business. The lawsuit, brought by Cavage over two years ago, claims that the Coop is unfair competition (against his University Plaza branch) because the Coop is on State property and does not have to pay taxes therefore limiting the CoOp’s overhead and album prices. The Coop has maintained that it is a student service and therefore holds a legitimate role — on campus. Following the suit brought by Cavages. University President Robert L. Ketter imposed a financial ceiling on the Coop’s inventory and sales. Stein said that he is planning to meet with Ketter “as soon as possible” to discuss lifting the ceiling. Doubt it The Coop, Stein noted, has wanted to extend its operating budget in "order to expand its inventory, cope with inflation, and lower its prices. Coop Vice President Andrew Blumenthal maintains that last semester, “Ketter told us he had to re-evaluate the Blumenthal remarked, “Now we think it is the appropriate time to re-evaluate those limits.” Assistant to the President Ron Stein said that Ketter has not been approached by the Coop following the Cavages’ closing.

Doty announced on March 23 that most RA’s would be housed with roommates next fall in order to open 6X bed spaces for new students. Here are several of the arguments, taken from the text of the report, currently before Doty: Because RA’s will not have a separate, single room, students will not see any outward sign of his position and thus will not look to him as a model and leader. Students will lose respect for the RA because he will be seen as giving most attention to his roommate, and his roommate’s friends on the floor. - " - Bad feelings Bad feelings between the RA and rpommate will certainly arise as a result of an RA’s continued need to ask the roommate to leave the room so that he can counsel another resident. Floor residents will be reluctant to speak with the RA at length because they will be uncomfortable being responsible for the roommate having to room. Floor members will be worried that the RA' is discussing their problems with the roommate, adding to their reluctance to seek - - - counseling. Duty keys and master keys will be more accessible to others, creating a situation of potential security danger to hundreds of — students. RA’s could be locked out of their rooms by their roommates leaving them with no assured access to a telephone or master keys in case of an emergency. — The confidentiality of information which RA’s maintain would be endangered. Such information includes incident reports, directives from central Housing, and dealings with University Public Safety and the Inter-Residence Judiciary. — ' Different pay scale Since RA’s will receive different remuneration — — different sized self esteem among the rooms, some with roommates, some without . staff will be lowered. v ■.

The horrific spector of a nuclear disaster, the fear that has driven ■8 the nuclear industry's opponents for so long, has in just a few tense days been beamed through every television set, splashed across every front page and whispered in every home and throughout the g To the Editor < — J - nation. We have now a new dimension of danger a dimension that builds as the abstract becomes real; as the numbers become people; as the dots become towns; and as the guessing game that pushed the chance of a reactor melt down to unimaginably small proportions becomes, no longer a high-technology squabble between partisan scientists, but a coldly terrifying fact lying naked on a printed page. The first major nuclear accident in America was tripped not by an earthquake, or a flood, or a terrorist raid, or any other freak of man or nature, but by the almost inevitable combination of human error and mechanical breakddWn that will continue to haunt each and every one of the 70 communities where nuclear power plans now operate in the United States. A core melt down, where the reactor heats out of control and bores streams of radiation into the earth, is the danger against which technicians have been measuring the risks as they calculate their way out of the Harrisburg accident. We are no longer talking about theoretical scenarios or Hollywood dramas; we are talking about the future inhabitability of a region the size of Pennsylvania resting in the hands of a few men who, under immense pressure, are unable to make a single mistake. The Harrisburg syndrome will, in the coming months, turn the abstractions of a nuclear disaster to realities throughout this complex society; and an industry that took on immeasurable human risks in pursuit of a profit will begin to answer to the public. Now we will see the media exhaustively explaining nuclear dangers and near-accidents to the masses. Now we will see housewives alongside students at anti-nuclear demonstrations. Now we will see communities reject proposals for new power plants in their backyards. Now we will see more states pass restrictive nuclear legislation, and more politicians coming out for a complete halt in construction of nuclear plants. Now we will see Congress examine the industry's safety record. And now, perhaps, we will see the President of the United States put the official seal on a new attitude by carefully explaining the need for tighter standards. For all the protest marches, all the sit-ins and all the position papers of all the experts could never have generated the fear and skepticism that the Harrisburg syndrome will bring. With 88 new nuclear power plants on the boards and approved for construction, now is the critical hour for the anti-nuclear movement. We stand, with our eyes still nervously watching the Three Mile Island, on the threshhold of creating a new energy attitude, of reversing the "acceptable risk" argument that has kept the nuclear industry aliye for two decades. So let our actions be not so reflexive and our fear not so momentary that we forget the Harrisburg accident is, in its proper light, not so much a matter of failed pumps, stuck valves and confused operators, but a matter of time. — The SpccTityiM Vol. 29, No. 78 Monday, 2 April 1979 Editor-in-Chief Jay Rosen .. .

In case it escaped anyone’s notice, when Professor Newman, addressing himself to my remarks on disciplinary monitoring of course offerings, writes “Dean Peradotto admits that such a guild system is only an ‘ideal,’ and one which many departments fall short of in practice,” he has distorted what 1 said the Colleges might indeed.assert into something admitted by me. Secondly, he makes this out to be a matter of who judges the “intellectual validity” of a particular course. He needs to be reminded that it is not intellectual but disciplinary validity which is at issue. To question the disciplinary validity of a course is not necessarily to question its intellectual validity. But the main bone of contention between Professor - Newman and myself is over the use of theory (or policy) and practice as determinants of — — expect the Colleges alone to go unscathed. At that game nobody wins. 1 doubt if Professor Newman’s atrocity-story about one student’s experience in one Psychology course cannot be matched by one or more such stories about Colleges courses. For my part, none of these stories would shake my faith m either the discipline of Psychology or the legitimacy of the Colleges, unless of course 1 became convinced nof by casual hearsay or isolated horror-stories, but by the kind of evidence that satisfies a mind trained to critical discrimination by humanistic education that such stories represented the rule rather that the exception. It is saddening that Professor Newman and certain other advocates of the Colleges appear to be so misguided as to believe that the only way to enhance the virtues of the Colleges is to enlarge upon the vices of departments. That is not only an uncivil tactic, but a self-defeating one, for it will end by disenchanting those of us’whose support of the Colleges does not involve ill feeling toward departments or traditional disciplines. It bewilders me that the Colleges have yet to develop the proper theoretical alternative to my interpretation of the distribution requirement. To do so would go far in re-establishing the intellectual credibility of the Colleges, severely eroded by their most recent spokesmen, and in convincing the Senate that the present distribution requirement should be altered. In my eyes that alternative argument is crystal-clear, and, although it is the responsibility and obligation of the Colleges to develop it, I grow so restive at its delay that 1 am tempted to produce it myself and to send it to The Spectrum anonymously. — - ' John Peradotto Dean, DUE ex l le^n by Jay Rosen As this is written, there are the elements for the ultimate nuclear disaster brewing inside the thick concrete walls of a reactor about 200 miles away in Harrisburg, Pa. The very real chance, however remote, that the humans monitoring the radioactive mess inside the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant will lose control of the reaction and trigger a core melt down has, for me, erased all doubts about where we should be headed 'with nuclear power. (And all doubts about the topic for this week’s column.) 1 am quite convinced that history is being made right now; although 1 am not at all sure about how this country will respond to the kind of a scare that has no parallels, no standards, nothing against which to breathe a little easier in comparison. have I always marveled, and often been repulsed, at how America responds to tragedy with the urge to, in very spedivid ways, prevent it from happening again leaving aside the larger questions of the societal framework in which tragedies'occur. Thus, when political leaders are assasinated, the calls go out for stricter gun control. When 900 Americans execute themselves, the crips are for tighter regulations of religious cults. When coal mines collapse, safety standards must be examined. This media-magnified process of stimulus/response dispenses with a rigid examination of societal context. Instead, we tend to search for instant-cures for these abberations of humanity and technology, for these quirks that at the very most, tell us something has gone wrong in the country. Never do we view catastrophe as the product of some attitude we trust, as our own unwitting creation or as the side effect of something ordinarily considered good and pure. The “accident” in Harrisburg is just that, the product of a system that allowed risks unparalleled — human history to be managed by corporations that musytxiTn a profit. Nuclear power is, in my view, a menacing energy source by itself. But to even partially hand over its development and maintenance to corporate America is to create an insolvable dilemma. There is no way, ultimately, to safety and profit. They are competing maximize concerns opposite ends and managerial rivals. One must be ed b Ve ,hC , 0ther if ot as a P ollc V then in H the day-to-day reality of operating nuclear power. This is such a simple concept that 1 am surprised it is not discussed more often. Tfhagine a slight but in r * ° ' * significant defect in the cooling system of a nuclear reactor. The company can shut plant for tests, play it safe and lose thousands of dollars an hour. Or it can continue to operate, waiting until there are enough small problems to investigate them all at once' and thus be cost-effective. Someone a — plant manager, shift supervisor, company technician has to make that value judgement: safety or — efficiency? Now - __ you can .tell me that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission will more often than not make that decision for them. You can tell me that power companies aren’t stupid and, in serious cases, will not ignore danger. You can even tell me that the men who make these decisions have social consciences of their own. But you cannot tell me that at some time, at one of the 70 nuclear plants in this country, some manager of some company did not chose cost efficiency over plant safety and, in a subconscious way, value money over human life. It is inevitable. It has happened. It will happen again. The corporate mentality insures it. This is not another way of saying, 1, Yes there is risk involved in nuclear power.” This is a magnification of risk, an extra variable, a multiplier that must.be taken into account when calculating the chances of a nuclear disaster and when musing over accidents like Harrisburg. And this extra variable has, as its worst imaginable result, the kind of destruction that no other industrial danger can even begin to threaten. So the questions we should be asking do not end with technology and our ability to control it. 1 don’t even think they begin there. We are faced with a political question: who, if anyone, should handle the risks of nuclear power risks that are absolutely unique among any industrial process or energy source? The present system ha$ helped to mutate the danger to human life into an abstract, managerial factor to be balanced against other abstracts like probability tables and profit margins. 1 heard a television commentator explain this weekend that, after the most serious nuclear accident ever, the issue is not will we proceed with nuclear power, but when will we judge the risks small enough? ‘ He made the mistake that we always make in evaluating catastrophe. (The issue now, in the wake of Harrisburg, is not: what are the risks and can we afford them? But rather: can we afford to let corporations decide that question for us? — - �'daymondayrr^ JIT feedback H y (0 SOAF to protest I his Tuesday hef W SC faculty Senate meeting.

At the candidate forum I stated that Ronald Bunn’s Academic Plan would have a negative effect on General Education. According to Bunn’s plan departments would be funded by the number of Full-time equivolants (FTE’s) that the department generated. As a result departments such as English (which is facing declining enrollments) would have a limited variety of courses to offer students who, under the Genreal Education plan, must take two courses in the Literature and Arts knowledge area. 1 believe that General Education is a favorable plan for the students at this university as long as the knowledge areas remain broad. Judiann Carmack Candidate for Director of Academic Affairs The Progress Party v divestment To the I dii SOAI ’s feeling is 'll the faculty Senate is going pi on Women’s Studies College supports the Buffalo Committee Against Apartheid, and other student groups on state university campuses, who are calling on the Board of Trustees of SUN Y to divest itself of holdings in those corporations that continue to support, through economic investments, the brutal, racist government of South Africa. It is apparent that the moral outrage against apartheid that has come from around the world has failed to move this regime from its oppressive policies. We feel that increasing financial boycotts we can help push South Africa to institute a democratic government. The SUNY system, through its endowment Fund, holds interests in corporations, such as IBM and Ford Motor Company, which continue their financial ties with South Africa. They profit from South Africa’s suppression of its black majority by taking advantage of this cheap source of labor, and South Africa’s valuable natural resources. By maintaining investments in such companies, this educational institution condones the apartheid system. Failure on the part of the University to divest itself of such holdings demonstrates a policy of social irresponsibility towards oppressed people. This lack of committment on an international scale calls into question the sincerity of SUNY’s policies for women and minorities through Affirmative Action, and their leadership in eliminating racism and sexism in education. We believe that an educational institution must have, as part of its mission, a committment to the betterment of the human condition in the world community. We join other students in charging the Board of Trustees of SUNY with developing an investment policy consistent with such a mission, and with resolving the contradiction between racist economic interests and a socially responsible educational policy. Trisha Franzen Joe Zacharek for Women's Studies College Governance Task Force gratified To the Editor. Why not tents? To the Editor: RA’s with roommates? Sure, but it’s not going for enough. If we really want to come up with more housing space, why not divide each lounge into four little corners and stick them all in there. Very effective. Or why not set up tents at the ends of each hall. That would surely gave space. Or better yet, why not get rid of the RAs altogether. After all they really don’t do much nothing that ten new confused freshmen couldn’t handle with a little guidence from Mr. Doty. Yes, this is the only way to secure space and save money. - Tarry Knipfing Softball blues To the Editor. This letter concerns all who are interested in having an intramural softball team. Last year we had a choice of where to play. Since most of the team lived on Main Street, we elected to- play on the Main Street Campus. This year all the games are being played at the Amherst Campus. Since I have labs that end at 5; 00 on Main Street, 1 am going to miss the games that we are going to play. If the games were going to be held at Main Street, at least 1 woiild be able to make half of the game. Also this year, there will be single elimination, reducing the number of games we can play in. When I asked Frank Price (Intramural Softball Director) about why we didn’t start earlier and have double elimination, he merely told everyone that that’s not the way it will be. With four fields on Main Street, why can’t we have a choice of where to play? Maybe Main Street is too far away from Price’s Wilkeson room. Steve Allen, where are you? Alan Krim The need for Armed Forces To the Editor. Contrary to what anti-war activist Bruce Beyer has naively stated (The Spectrum, March 30) one of the threats facing us today is the lack of a selective service system. Apparently Mr. Beyer has a clouded view of reality. Man has been waging war on this Earth for thousands of years and it is therefore unrealistic to assume that the necessity for legitimate involvement in armed conflict is going to disappear overnight or within our lifetime. Sure, we would like to see a just and lasting peace in this world but, until thieats to global stability that stem from the births of greedy egomaniacs such as -Idi Amin, Yasser Arafat, and Kim Il-Sung, are done away with, and until we can guarantee That people in this world will hive , .cu itii uoiwcp JC.O vuivpi) /.noiictoq advanced to the stage where they will have the intelligence not to beckon to the call of another Hitler, it is absolutely essential thfct we at least be prepared with an adequate armed forces. The thought of armed conflict should scare any decent human being, but the thought of having to depend upon a standing military where a large portion of the junior enlisted personnel are barely capable of passing high school level examinations In response ,to Diane Eades’ letter and your editorial of 3/14/79, as well as to the university community as a whole, it is very gratifying to hear and see the support that is so obviously there for us. Without the assistance and encouragement of so many individuals and organizations on campus, it is doubtful that the Anti-Rape Task Force would have grown in the ways that it has. (If this is beginning to sound like a dripping thank you note you’re only partially right, so read on.) Our task force might not have been without Officer Peggy Chapados Of the University Police and SA, our walk service would not have functioned without its volunteers, and our van service would be going nowhere without the temporary loan of CAC’s van and their donation of gas. Women Studies College and Tolstoy College have been incredible resources for us, especially with respect to the educational program we are now developing for all our volunteers. It is not a fallacy that we can all be resources for each other. Equally important with the support we’ve been receiving is the use women HAVE made of our services. As Ms. Bade points out, the attitude that “it could never happen to me” is a common one, one which the Task Force has been struggling with since its initiation. The issue of rape has traditionally been put upon the individual woman to deal with and our best defense has been no defense at all. By believing that we, as the individual woman, could never be subject to such abuse has negated and prolonged the necessity for us to deal with the issue together. It isn’t easy to call up strangers and ask to be walked home, because it isn’t easy to admit that we’re., afraid, when we’re not sure what/who we’re afraid of. We feel silly and childish and force ourselves to believe it’s someone else’s problem but it’s clear that more and more of us are recognizing that it is an issue in all of our lives and are taking preventive measures. When you call for a walk or ride in our van, it feeds right back into the energy and purpose of our services. In closing, we the women and men of the - Anti-Rape Task Force are trying to create a safer environment for University women, and we need to know if what we’re doing is effective. So, thank you to those who thanked us and to all the women who don’t want to “bother us” by walking you home, PLEASE bother us. We’re here for you. should scare one even more. Furthermore, while it is true that there is a gross imbalance of racial and class representation within the armed forces, it is also true that the institution of an improved selective service system would significantly reduce this problem.

SA, if it js to be successful, must be sure that its leadership does not get imbedded in political power struggles a situation that has happened with alarming regularity in the past. It must be remembered that SA is not a government but an association and this concept must be reflected in a new constitution.

A new constitution must redefine many of the current SA positions. It is important that when, these positions are re-evaluated Ben Rossett 1) Being as specific as possible. "Are what you feel is the number one challenge facing Student Association and explain how you plan to face it from the position of SA^resident. 1) The most imperative problem with the Student Association at the present is the organization of its Senate which is still not representative of the students. 1 would like to innovate a democratic collective student government. It would consist of an SA Congress that would represent anyone who expressed a sincere interest in student affairs. Its voting process would be that of aji electoral college, where the amount of electoral votes that a Congressperson (not Senator) had would depend on the amount of people in the organization that he represents. Independent with people no organizational who wish ties, representation will also receive it, via an Independent Sub-Committee which will hold its own elections to pick, representatives for the SA Congress and to decide on their positions in different issues. This new SA Congress would also have a system of Checks and Balances with the Executive Officers, so no monopoly can be formed. Six Congresspeople would be elected on a rotating basis at regular intervals of one month to serve on the Executive Committee. And once having served, may not do so again for a designated length of time yet to be ascertained. With this new system of student government, everyone now will be represented in a completely fair and systematic way, and consequently all important issues will be covered and resolved, and we will be sure that the resolution is representative of the students themselves, and not just a few self-centered — Joel Mayersohn 1) Being as specific as possible, cite what you feel is the number one challenge facing Student Association and explain how you plan to face it from the position of SA President. 1) The Student Association as an no institutional authority. Realizing this, SA must be able to have the administration recognize its validity and bring to the student body an awareness of what SA is. As President I must insure that student organization has people. 2) A new SA constitution will be prepared by October of next year. What general themes and specific ideas should be incorporated into the rewritten document and what role should the President play in representatives act in a professional and responsible manner. There is a two step process needed to achieve this goal. A philosophical strong base must be which established would stress accountability to students and a firm commitment to obtain students’ opinions is required. Once a sense of ideology has been determined the issues must be learned as well or better than the administration if we are to receive recognition and a degree of acceptance from those in Capen Hall. Although this approach does not guarantee SA the same rights and privileges accorded I '. ; their education, such as in the cases of the Springer Report and the General Education Plan. The Student Rules and Regulations are in dire need of being reviewed, clarified and possibly rewritten, which could be done under the constitution. Such obscure terms as “reasonable request by a university otficiaj” must be clarified so its meaning is more specific and not twistable by anyone’s whims. The constitution could make provisions to break up all campus monopolies, which would be quite beneficial for student life here at UB. Take food service for example: With each cafeteria! leased to a separate company and students having their choice, competition would drive prices down and quality up. The same would hold true for all other campus services and university publications. Another idea to be included might be the possible implementation of Student Voluntary Fees, replacing the Student Mandatory Fees. Students paying them would be entitled to all the present they reflect the philosophy that SA is an association. It is important that termj of officp run for the full academic year to allow for consistency and a smooth transition period during the summer.. This would. also alleviate much of the difficulties associated its formation? 2) In the new SA constitution, I would like to implement several new alternatives. The first is which 1 have jpst explained above, about reorganizing the SA Senate into a Congress, and reorganizing their voting procedure. Consequently, this would also bring about a decrease in presidential and executive power, which will be instated in the new constitution. 1 would also like to have included more provisions giving students more say in creating the academic-policies that govern benefits and discounts they receive at activities and clubs subsidized by the fees. Those that didn’t would not, and would have to pay higher prices (example: tickets) and/or'dues to the SA Treasury for the clubs they joined. In essence, this would be fairer to all, because students will be paying only for what they want The role of the President in formulating the new SA constitution should be a prominent one, but by no means should it dominate the rewriting. He should not have a “personal monopoly” over it, and most importantly, he should not have the final say. That should belong to the new SA Congress, a ,fair representation of all students, that will finally give them a definite role, rather than a whisper in the wind, in deciding upon the things that will effect their lives for the four years that they are here, and possibly even longer. / .■ ■jficil! . . . ra a..........

T. Keegan The number one challenge facing the Student Association is one of structure. The inherent contradictions in the structure of the SA limits the ability of the student body to contribute concrete ideas to the organization. The way the SA is presently set up is hierarchical, present based on the American form of government. In other words there is a president, vice president and so forth down the line. Also there are three “supposedly” autonomous branches of government; the Senate, the Executive Committee, and the Judiciary. Now, let’s ask ourselves the Question, “What kind of fools are we???

Thursday April 5 Gunawan Suliawan I) Being as specific as possible, cite what you feel is the number one challenge facing Student Association and explain how you plan to face it from the position of SA President. 1) The number one challenge as 1 see it is the creation of a new form of student government which maximizes students’ participation and is responsive to the needs and interests of the students. The first task is to draft a new Constitution. The present Constitution is beyond repair, beyond patchwork reforms. In the fundamental sense of the issue, there is no need for such complex a series of formulas and cumbersome mechanic. Such a Constitution has the participatory process of students in their government. It has alienated them. Such alienation is toxic to the life of a democratic system. A new Constitution is not to be made by a small a new group, that would be elitist. No Constitution must be drawn irr a spirit of participation. Such a manner may not be the most efficient, but it is not a case of being efficient. It is a case of restoring faith and confidence in the student government. A certain amount of instability is healthy Squire Center Lounge Student Club 10 am Porter Cafe 8 pm Goodyear Cafe Lehman Hall Norton Cafe 1 0 am — 4 pm — up of committees of all sorts; music, art, political clubs (one of the first things that we would do would be to immediately end the SA’s apoliticalness. We live in political times. Bourgeoise oppression can be seen everywhere, from civil rights (Bakke), continuing cutbacks to a deterioration of the economy (hurting poor people), and closest to home the regressive steps of Springer and “general education”), academic department -clubs (management, math, etc.), etc. These committees will all have representatives who wifi form a steering committee. The fleering committee will be the basis for communication among the committees. Now you ask how will the new committees be different from the clubs that presently form the SA? The answer is that the new committees will consist of many more students than are presently in the student clubs. After the Polyunsaturate party is elected we will have a Spring-ln. This will be paid for by the money which would have been our stipends (we are not accepting stipends). The party will have bands, beer and speakers. The only way for a student to get a beer, will be, if he votes on a special referendum which will pose questions such as, “What kind of activities would you like to see?” and “What kind of actig|ties committee interests you?” With 3,000 or more students answering' and eventually serving on committees we can become a student association of students, not leaders. 2) A new SA constitution will be prepared by October of next year. What general themes and specific ideas should be incorporated into the rewritten document and what role should the President play in its formation? 2) The President shouldn’t play any role in forming the new constitution. The sole responsibility should lie in the student body. Hopefully by November there will not ba a president anymore anyway. But since the question has been posed, here are my own opinions on what a constitution should look like. of Speech f. I. II. Freedom of Education III.

What general themes and specific ideas should be incorporated into the rewritten document and what role should the President play in its formation? 2) As President 1 hope to serve as a cq-equal partner with students and to share with them the specific charge to implement the will expressed by students directly. As through the voice of their elected representatives, 1 would, as SA President, convene a constitutional assembly for the forth a new of bringing purposes Constitution. Such an assembly would be open to all students who would present a petition of seventy-five (75) signatures. Such an assembly would expand or to student in proportion contract participation, a healthy measure of students and their concerns. Such a constitution should clearly state and define the role of the executive and —continued on next page— College Council Representatives (all students may vote) 111 Talbert Hall, AC 10 am - 5 pm Squire Center Lounge 10 am - 8 pm - �5 the legislative branches, with the legislative being the supreme voice as £ students representatives.

Simplicity is of the utmost importance. Once again, I emphasize the role of President should be one of moderator, of coequal partner, providing a sense of direction. The next SA President must correct the imbalances caused by too many strong” Presidents who have ignored the co-participation of the legislative process. And consequently have insulted and ignored the potential of students to engage in their self governance. Executive Vice President Glenn Abolafia 1) What do students truly want out of their student government that they are not now getting? How will you attack these problems? 1) Poly-Unsaturated was created, not to offer definitive statements on a ctfurse of action for SA, but to pose serious questions about decision-making processes, where power lies, etc. in other words, what are the implications of the present student government structure. We are a low-cholesterol diet plan that will help to prevent heart disease, nervous disorders, mental degradation, etc., among university students. We feel that the entire SA structure is having an adverse effect on student’s mental and physical health. SA, in our dialectical, historical analysis, has proven to be an irrelevenl and incompetent organization. It is also an - ineffective, moot political structure in dealing with the mobilization of a broad based student political movement that would confront both university and societal issues and historical trends and relationships. We cite the lack of input in University dehision-making processes such as the General Education ruckus, tuition hike, investment in South Africa, etc. as proof. SA, as an organizational apparatus, by its very nature, entertains parochial interest battles and a leadership cult of personality. This supposedly democratic Parliamentarism simply reinforces traditional gaps in the power structure, i.e. a complete separation of powers between the executive and senatorial functions. In addition, it reinforces a structural hierarchy where power is concentrated at the top -and remains there, besides the continual evolution of a bureaucratic apparatus. Poly-UNSATURATED politics is decentralized unity embracing individual and group interests in motion with broad student involvement in university and societal questions. Our election will enable us to attain centralized power, enter a be ushered in. Access to the political party requires the fulfillment of an obligation to vote on various referendums, the results of which will give direction to student political energy (a new Social Contract). Students! Arise from you All Kafkaesque, dreamlike insanity! Prevent Big Brother from reaching puberty! Input your interests to output! Make “To be or not to be” a philosopher’s absurdity! We are! We do! Student/ councils, affinity groups formed around particular interests, questions, issues, etc., will unite in solidarity. You all have something to say, something that’s eating you up, something that’s making you a fucked-up neurotic. Release bound energy into creative potential! Don’t accept Kapitalist status quo (that’s an atUstorical, positivist approach). Change it! Students (and we invite grads, TA’s, GA’s, Faculty, workers, etc. to join us), organize your interests with other students having similar interests. Discussion and action; theory and practice will ensue. Talk about grievances, academic 'or otherwise, political or apolitical, reform or revolution, frustrations, hang-ups, inevitability of misery. 2)• How the Senate the traditional gadp between which is supposed to broadly represent student interests and the SA officers who do most of the day-to-day work in the government be bridged? 2) Evolving around the concept of a political party (free beer bash, sun-soak, entertain yourself and others, search for Orgonc. etc.), another historical phase will can ". — - - — confronted. 2) How can the traditional gap between the Senate which is supposed to broadly and the SA represent student interests officers who do most of the day-to-day work in the government be bridged? 2) The first step in bridging the gap between the executive committee and the student Senate should be to get the Senate to feel they are functioning as a group rather than just as an assortment of — — - By reforming the SA government into a Democratic Collective, one would eradicate the power monopolies which are inherent to the current system. This act would alleviate the voting discrepancies amongst the various SA organizations who are represented in the present Senate by creating an Electoral voting procedure the norm, thus making the student government much more of a student run affair. I feel that it is time that the SA becomes a truly student oriented forum instead of the paradox that it is. — 2) How can the traditional gap between the Senate which is supposed to broadly represent student interests and the SA who do most of the day-to-day officers work in the government be bridged? 2) The chasm between the two current power structures of SA (namely the Senate and the Executive Officers) would be spanned by our proposed SA Congress. The Congress would be composed of two separate branches: the Executive Committee and the Congress. The Executive Committee, consisting of the eleven elected plus officials, six — - — — Congresspersons chosen by their peers from the Congress (on a regular basis, thus giving all equality to serve the students more fully). The Congress itself will be based on an Electoral voting system (as 1 mentioned before, this will give more of a direction, action. Teach each other, encounter, share!

All councils are responsible not only to their particular interests, but through the steering committee they are accountable to each other. Autonomy The plan: think about it! Discuss it! Debate it! Alter it! It’s all up to you (for a change)!!! Doug Floccare 1) What do students truly want out of their student government that they are not now getting? How will you attack these problems? 1) I think that the first thing students want from student government is to know that their student mandatory fee money is being spent wisely. They would like to know just what SA does with over $800,000. In the past process of allocating this money has generally been far removed from the average student and has been, rather, in the hands of a few individuals. The only student input on the matter came from the lobbying of a handful of student clubs and organization.' I feel that the individual student should have more of an opportunity to express his opinion as to what groups or projects should receive increased (or decreased) funding. I also feel that SA should seek out opinions through such methods as surveys, open forums on the budget, advertised open office hours and by just walking around and talking to people about transitional phase, and diffuse power to a grassroots based student movement. The accumulation of government invokes the not want to come in. It all basically comes down to letting people know that you are interested in their ideas, and telling them when and where they can get in touch with you. If in this way the student government could be informed of matters deserving their attention, the situations could be it. Another thing that is expected of student government is that they deal with problems that face the average student. I feel that many important issues have been neglected thus far. One prime example of this is the insufficiency of Emergency First-Aid coverage at this University. With a daytime population of over 26,000 people, UB truly needs some concrete form of Emergency Medical Coverage; hoWevej, SA had not even dealt with this issue until I, as a concerned student, started to work on it last semester. The reason SA has not confronted certain problems is perhaps because they did not know about them. 1 would therefore try to make student government more accessible. Up until now they have been kind of hidden away in a corner of Talbert Hall. There are several ways to amake SA more approachable; SA officers could first of all have small scale meetings with students in the dorms, cafeterias, lounges, etc. Advertised office hours could be set up when the executive officers would be in to discuss any new ideas or problems, and a specific phone number could also b? designated fox those who did individual club representatives. In the past the Senate has not had the attitude that they were all working towards a similar goal, or even that they held any sort of common philosophy.. Rather, it has been more a battle of the special interest groups seeing who could get the most for their particular organization. An important step in unifying the Senate would be to have them elect a leader, or a "speaker of the senate,” to act as a liason between them and the executive committee. This person could even be a member of the executive committee. He could help organize the Senate so that they could meet and discuss their feelings and strategies on certain issues before the time came to vote on it. In the past student Senates, Senators did not know about many pieces of legislation until they were proposed to be voted on. In helping to alleviate this situation I feel it would be necessary for the Executive Committee officers to have frequent meetings with small groups of senators to let them know what is going on, and to find out what their opinions are. Before new pieces of major legislation are brought up the executive officers should call each senator and discuss the particular proposal with him. If the senators can be kept informed in this way, and a good rapport with the Executive Committee can be established, then I feel there will be little or no gap between the two bodies. Pat Van Alstyne —1) What do their student students truly want out of government that they are not How will you attack these now getting? problems? 1) I believe that UB want to see the issues at students do not hand, such as the Springer Report, monopolies, Mandatory Fees, and distribution credit for the Colleges circumvented by our elected officials who are supposedly looking out for the' welfare of the student body, but in reality pursuing distinct private ambitions. I also realize that if various fractions of the SA Senate are primarily guarding their 'unofficial acquisition of power and retribution, the general UB public will wither into an ever-deepening apathetic abyss, which in turn will cause the Senate to lose whatever student cohesiveness it may still possess. student government, one in which they can place their faith in, one in which they can look at and feel that their representatives are serving them in the most beneficial manner possible. A student government that is nrjt torn apart by internal bickering. To be able to decrease the lethargy and the incessant power struggles I purport that the SA Senate be restructured into the SA Congress (for more on this, read the • Presidential statement number one Rossett of the Force Party). by Ben fair deal to Independents as well as the numerous other SA organizations). As I also mentioned, the Executive Committee will be composed of the eleven elected officials plus the six rotating Congresspersons. This in itself will greatly unify the two bodies. The six Congresspersons will aid in the making of executive decisions and policy making. Also by having she Congressional representatives within the Executive Committee, we will be limiting the powers of the elected officers (thus eliminating the chances of power monopolies in the Committe.e itself). It s a sy stem in which the Congress and Executive Committee will have to cooperate in, because it’s purely and wholly a system of checks and balances which will be integrated within the basicform of our proposed Democratic Collective government.

What potential Sub Board service would you pick out as the most important to develop next year and how would you go about it? 1 and 2) The policy could be improved if the students were allowed to obtain eye glasses, Cosmetic surgery and complete protection for injuries due to participation in a riot. Better coverage also is needed for abortion; injuries sustained while a passenger in an aircraft and for sickness contracted while in the armed forces of any country. The policy should also diem for students while recovering from an injury or illness that would prevent them from attending classes. There should be no r for medical in this era where inflation has forced the cost of medical services to skyrocket. ■ expenses, especially ceiling �On tht abortion issue, would have voted yes, because 1 believe each student should be able to decide on whether or not to participate ,in the insurance plan.

In ! addition, why should required to pay for automatically paid by premium? Among the most a male student be coverage which is the female student’s important services by Sub Board I is UUAB, if properly managed. The extra-curriculum is needed by the students to allow them to rendered relax and get away from the academic routine. If UUAB is properly managed it could be self sustaining. Proper management includes allowing students to have a say in proposing activities that are most suited to their desire. Last year the music committee failed because it did not canvass students’ suggestions to determine programs that they would support. Because students were which Sub Board provides, it is difficult if not impossible to single out the most important” for development. Increased participation by the Directors in the daily, workings of Sub Board groups, services such as attending regular meetings of these groups, as well as stricter supervision of finances will help to keep these groups serving the genuine needs of the students. The Vice President of Sub Board especially must take an active role in soliciting student input, and funneling that to the various divisions and committees to which it applies. UUAB especially would benefit from closer supervision of finances, as well as more decisive direction from the Board of Directors, By working in conjunction with Squire-Amherst, UUAB can provide the services necessary to stage programs purpose of this is to ensure that money-is not wasted, and that it is spent in accordance with the wishes of the senate. I will suggest, and enforce, any policy that accomplishes these goals. It will be done on an equal basis for all organizations anyplace S.A. monies are being spent. To back up these policies, I will propose that the Senate adopt them as a Constitutional Amendment. — — Financial advice consists of giving an on a specific event, as for it’s feasibility both financial and logistical.

The increased development of Worlds will also be a matter of priority, since it is already well developed and can potentially become a very important publication within this University. The entire Health Care Division, as in the student health insurance policy, would benefit from increased publicity of its services, and since these are all already well-run services, it is especially important for students to take advantage of them. By taking a more active role in each division, the VP for Sub Board can insure that the student services corporation will provide services that the students both want arid use. majority. My priority is to make sure that all the funds are properly managed under the auspices of UUAB. Every financial matter will be above board and the financial records will be available for inspection by any student. I’m always open for suggestions from any student. I am not above criticism and I welcome your opinions to assist me in the development of programs which will benefit all students. Christopher Jason I) How can the student health insurance policy be tailored mote toward student needs and how would you have voted on the controversial abortion coverage? I) The most glaring inadequacy of the student’s insurance policy does not occur within the policy itself, but is rather the lact that so many students know so little about it. Many students believe that this policy covers practically everything, while others do not know that they do have certain benefits available to them. Few students realize that if they have complaints regarding payment of claims, or anything else regarding the policy, they can come into the Sub Board office, which can exert great influence in having their complaints It is addressed. the responsibility of Sub Board to advertise what the policy covers, and also what it does not cover, as well as its ability to function as the advocate of students with the insurance company. Certain particular benefits that I would investigate and if possible include in the policy, are expansion to full major medical coverage and increased maternity benefits. I spoke on maternity benefits at the March 8 meeting, and despite the increase in benefits recently approved by the Sub Board Directors, the exclusion of pre-natal care and care to the newborn infant make even the policy present woefully inadequate. Regarding abortion the coverage, I do certainly support the rights of conscientious objectors, but unless a better optional plan can be devised than the one most recently before Sub Board, I would vote against the optional coverage. 2) What potential Sub Board service would you pick out as the most important to develop next year and how would you go about it? 2) Due ' to the' tremendous array "of I) What methods of student input into academic decisions are must underused at this University and how will you pul them to work next year? 1) Student input must be generated. Apathy has reigned across our nation’s universities for almost ten years. At that time everyone at all levels of the University knew how students felt on a variety of issues. It appears that students since then have not had the reason nor the motivation to speak out and let themselves be heard. In this, the year of the Springer Report and General Fducation, we have what one can ultimately call “motivators.” One cannot be sure' what the consequences of either plan will have on the quality of student life next year. But what one can be sure of, is that students’ lives, beginning with Fall ’79 Springer implementation, Will be markedly affected. Springer implementation will in most instances mean that students will have to work off a fiye course load rather than this year’s four course load. In addition, logistical problems are eminent: usage of Blue Bird buses, classroom size and increased enrollment in many courses, will affect each and every student in the i the attendance suffered. If I’m elected I will poll the students, so that the programs that are chosen are in agreement with the Treasurer Kevin Bryant 1) In what areas of Student Association do you feel money is wasted and what measures can the treasurer take to insure .wise-spending? 1) Anywhere that money is spent, there is always a certain amount of waste. My objective is to see that this is uncovered apd then eliminated. Publicity, phones, and office budgets can always be cut, usually with little more than slight inconvenience and intelligent planning. Money is also under-utilized through the allocations to the S.A. Organizations. Their purpose is to supplement the activities of the S.A. by programming activities and cultural events of interest to individual groups. 1 feel that the majority of students do not belong to or don’t participate in, the events planned by the different organizations. I would like to see that everyone benefits from their S.A. fee; which may mean programming more general-interest activities; with the idea of giving everyone the maximum return for their dollar. Control policies Financial are most disadvantage any one particular discipline over the other. That is not to say that students will not be under a great amount of pressure due to the new curriculum. 1 am confident though, that most Judiann Carmack I) What «nelhods of student input into academic decisions are most underused at this University and how will you pul them to work next year? 1) There is a great abyss between the students and the administrators of this university in establishing and determining academic policy. To strongly influence academic issues student input is needed at a departmental level. The development of a governance board in each department to oversee and influence decisions in such areas tenure policy majdr requirements, teacher and departmental evaluation will have a positive effect on the and student of education quality awareness. At present time there are very departments that have students working in conjunction with the faculty on few departmental issues. This should be a departmental practice. Student representatives working on departmental universal governance boards could work on major academic issues such Springer as coming year. My point is, the only reason that current methods of soliciting student input have been underused is simply because the student input has been non-existant. My hope is that important academic issues coming up in the next year will be a sufficient motivator for the student to shed his/her sheath of apathy and use the existing channels of communication now available to speak out. Contrary to popular belief, any student or groups of students can attend a Senate meeting and voice opinions. It is not necessary to be a Senator to have a say at these meetings. They are there for the general student population and should be taken advantage of. 1 have been your student representative for many months now on the Springer Implementation Committee. I have many a' time sat down in the Rathskellar «rd solicited student input. In addition, f originated the idea that Ronald Bunn (Vice President of Academic Affairs) and Jack Peradotto (DUE Dean) speak in Haas Lounge to the students on Springer and General Education. The purpose was to open lines of communication~between the students and the administration. I can only tell you, the students, that next year will be no different. * _ in seeing that waste is cut. Budget allocations on a line-by-line, even item-by-item basis, will ensure that the students know where, for what, and for whom, their fees are going.

The governance boards of various departments will create a valuable fund of students who are aware of academic issues. Since research is stressed over good in this University, teacher effectiveness is an important issue. The publication of literature is the most effective way to reach students and teachers. SCATE (Student Course and Teacher Evaluation), had a tremendous effect on teacher attitudes towards their students and teaching. This publication is very important and should be printed annually in the future. Since this is an expensive venture it must be done properly.

It is important that a student | representative articulate and defend the 1 academic needs of specific groups of the : student body in general. With the future implementation of ‘ General Education, it will be necessary to defend the academic freedom of students ; within certain departments, such as Engineering and Health Sciences. To ensure freedom, the six basic knowledge areas that a student must choose from should remain as broad as possible. There should be no bicycle compounds. In general, I believe that the “quality of student life” can be improved if the Director of Student Affairs takes the initiative and provides the kind of leadership to promote the cooperative spirit necessary to get the job done well. 2) What new ways are there for the Director of Student Affairs to get a handle on what the student body truly wants from its government and from the University? 2) Effective communication is vital to a government in student fulfilling its obligation of providing for the needs of the student body. The Director of Student Affairs serves as the mechanism for the communication process to be completed. The position is one of a iiason between the students and their government. This type of arrangement is very important because the activities of government are dependent upon the needs of the students. order to facilitate this In communication, the Director of Student Affairs must receive input from the student population as to what their specific needs are. However, due to the two-way nature of communication, issues of concern must in turn be presented to the students. This office requires one to serve as both a responsive ear to problems as well as a source of information for the student body concerning their government and university in general. Apathy has long been blamed for student non-involvement. A concentrated effort to make information available will likely increase participation. A student who participates has an influence on policy and thus a feeling of efficacy. Making information accessible to the student should be of concern to the Director of Student Affairs. A booth serviced by trained personnel, supplied with pamphlets, flyers, etc., with information on clubs, services, organizations, and whom to contact on various problems, could alleviate some of the initial hassles as well as avoid some of the ‘‘run arodnd” that is foreign The language requirement. knowledge of a foreign culture can be obtained through a variety of different courses. It is academically irresponsible to wholly incorporate departments into a Gen. Ed. plan. A thorough review of all courses should be undertaken before implementation. The Director of Academic Affairs should also represent students from all departments on the Springer Committee by researching the requirements of different departments and the effect that this has on students and faculty. The needs, problems, and requirements of all students should be reviewed before a stand on the particular issue is taken. It is important that students continue to have the representation on academic committees that they presently have. Although this representation is not presently institutionalized it is very important that students work together to have it institutionalized in the future. Become involved!

What new ways are there for the Director of Student Affairs to get a handle on what the Affairs student body truly wants from its government and from the university? 1 and 2) It is universally acknowledged that the quality of life at this University is very poor. This i$ largely because students have almost no voice in the decision making process. Policy regarding bus schedules, housing, food service, curriculum planning, teacher selection, library hours virtually every aspect of the student’s day is made without considering the views of students. Students are the ones most directly and vitally affected by these decisions it is both absurd and improper that their views are For example, NYPIRG, the Community Action Corps, the Colleges, Academic; Clubs, thelflack Student Union and other organizations are generally composed of concerned, active students. A number of these students are turned off by the Student Association and perhaps rightfully so. However, they are all affected by University policies. The Director of Student Affairs can and should serve as a liason to these groups, making the SA's resources available to them and off-campus students, whereas SA has the ability to do so. Although SA hasn't had tremendous input in the past, it still has the "capability to reach out to many people represented by SA dubs. * In summary, the SA Director of Student Activities and Services should work-with programming organizations other in activities. These future activities should appeal to a broader sector of students than has been the case in the past. 2) Minority students, foreign students and commuters traditionally feel left out of activities programming here. How can the SA Director of Activities and Services avoid these annual dissatisfactions and still maintain broadly-popular programming? 2) In the past. SA has neglected to include the desires of certain groups of people when planning programs. In order for their dissatisfaction to dissipate and maintain popular programs, it is a must to have the direct participation of the “left out” students involved in the decision making process. Programs reflecting the specific interests of the groups must be sponsored. Also the integration of these groups into the existing programs will alleviate dissatisfaction. It is impossible to satisfy everyone. But with encouraged participation of different groups of students involved in creating the programs, and with an open minded Director, programming will hopefully satisfy more students. encouraging their involvement while allowing them to remain independent from the Student Association. Finally, I believe that the Director of Student Affairs should serve as a liason to off-campus groups who fright be helpful in promoting student causes. This has already been done in regards to the tuition increase the AFL-CIO was one of our most powerful supporters. type This of relationship would be particularly helpful in securing more funds for construction on the Amherst Campus both students and union workers would benefit by further construction. Briefly, students have things to offer the community and the community has much to offer in return the Director of Student Affairs should serve as a liason between the two. — - — Director of Student Activities and Services Barry Colder I) Why should Student Association be programming any activities when IRC, CAC, Sub Board and other campus organizations already sponsor events with broad appeal to the student body? I) It’s true that other groups on campus SASU Delegate Margaret Damm I) What do you know about student needs here and about statewide student issues that makes you qualified for the position of SASU Delegate? 1) Basically, the student needs here are known to everyone. The foremost issue which every student is aware of and affected by is the proposed tuition increase. This not only dismays students by having to accept an increasing financial burden but also'by not reaping any of the dividends of this money. If one could see an increase in budget allotments or more buildings perhaps this issue would not be so adamantly opposed. To give and not to receive may be divine, be that as it may, but after we have given till it hurts can we be expected to give when we have no representation? Students must be allowed to have the right to vote for congressmen and other local public authorities in the town in which they live. In view of the fact that the students of this University reside in this community for at least eight months of the year, it is imperative that we be represented when the task of making rules program activities. But it is imperative for the Student Association to run activities, and to work with the other campus organizations in coordinating activities for the student body. Because of this coordination, the chance of having different organizations planning events on the same dates would be greatly reduced. And with the organizations working together, there would be greater input in planning activities, resulting in more — - - ignored. — become alienated from much of campus life. It should be the objective of the Director of Student Affairs to try to integrate all students into the University community. A centralized student union, as well as sufficient recreational facilities at the* Amherst Campus (and a decent gym facility in general), would help promote this objective. Looking after the welfare of the student body is certainly a momentous task. There are many day to day problems which affect students that cannot be realistically be resolved completely, but many can be * • There are a number of steps which can be taken to change this situation. At a university-wide level, I .would like to investigate the possibility, of replacing the' Faculty Senate with a University Council as has been done at Albany State. This body would consist of a majority of faculty members but would also provide for ample representation of students. There is also a need to ensure student involvment in the decision making process at the departmental level the voice of the student should be heard in every decision affecting our lives are undertaken. As a student of this institution for 3 years, I feel that these are the basic issues which plague all of us. My qualification for this position is just being a student here with open eyes and a non-apathetic view experiencing SUNY and in particular this University. ,' - made in every department. Most importantly, however, something must be done to promote greater student interest and involvement in University affairs. 1 believe that in the past the Student Association has failed to make adequate use of other on-campus groups. 2) How can students, as an interest group, increase their political power in this state? 2) Students today must first overcome the problem of apathy, before anything can be achieved. Not believing that one' person makes a difference or that they can change anything is the self-defeating philosophy which will never allow us to reach our fullest'potential as a force of political persuasion. -Lfeel there are basically two ways which holistic programs.

Alone we are but a lonely violin, but together we are a symphony resounding out our cries of woe. Petitions, letters to congressmen and other publicity attractors are key play in showing out political representative that we are a major faction to be contended with. The second method by which we may exercise and increase our political influence is by the previously mentioned right to vote laws. Allowing students to effectively participate in the governmental process, gives us a direct connection to the rules laws being made in Congress. and Representation in this manner is then but another way to exercise our strength as a political faction. student issues pending now are 1) Tuition increase, 2) Election reform and 3) allowing students to vote directly on governance bills. My main concern will be in keeping students informed and getting them involved. I think it is very important to strike interest in the students who are not actively involved student in government by showing them how they are being affected directly by decisions being made in Albany on their behalf. In regard to election reform, students cannot vote in ideas of the students. But now that we are letting the. administrators know we exist, they are starting to listen to us. Unfortunately, that is all they are doing, but this situation can be changed. Students as a group can be a very powerful lobby.' There are over 500,000 students in the SUNY system. This makes up a large voting block in the state. If we can make ourselves be heard, we will be able to gain recognition. What must be done is to continue to vote in a unified Andrew Fishman I and 2) What do you know about student needs here and about statewide student issues that makes you qualified for the position of_SASU Delegate? How can students, as an interest group, increase their political power in this state? 1 and 3) SASU is the statewide organization coalition of S.U.N.Y, students and student governments. The collective power should be used to increase the quality of life and education for the students. Severe problems face the UB student. The Uncompleted Amherst campus, poor facilities, and need v to increase ‘the faculty/student ratio are the troubles which seem to be unanswered. Student apathy, characterized by the division of the campus, is not as bad as one witnesses (knowledge to of campus politics inadequate gym facilities). It is not the lack of student energy but the outlets to expend this energy. SASU is concerned with upgrading these conditions through the organization of students. Statewide, SUNY students need to work with SASU to fight for improvement of the SUNY system. Collectively, they will campaign for the completion and increased allocations to SUNY schools. SASU is fighting the tuition hike. Students, as an interest group, can increase their political power by two methods. The first, ter permit the student the right to vote in the community where they attend school. This would make the _ .■an process but more easier, importantly, community leaders would be more responsive to student needs and opinions. The second method to increase voting student political power would be to increase the interaction between SASU and the student population. The unionization of the student population (power from the bottont up) would link the students of current issues and meetings. The present system leaves the average student unknowing thertby unconcerned, , i.e. Albany rally last week. As a final statement, SASU at UB can jncrease political power by gaining the interest of the student population. SASU strength is only as strong as its support. support and Susan Kushner I and 2) What do you know about student needs here and about statewide student issues that makes you qualified for the position of SASU Delegate?

Lobbying is important to let the legislators know the wants of the students and if students are voicing their opinions, the legislators will not ignore them as they represent votes to them. 1 will strike interest and stress the importance of students working together as a whole because that is the only way our voice as students will be heard. I will let students know who the crummy legislators are and promote letter writing and lobbying to the maximum. I feel qualified for the position as SASU Delegate because as a student 1 realize these problems and their importance and 1 have a genuine interest and also initiative. Roderick MacKinnon 1) What do you know about student needs here and about statewide student issues that makes you qualified for the position of SASU Delegate? 1) The students here at UB have a few very basic, reasonable needs. They want what every student has a right to have. One of the major issues Severe problems face the .UB student. The incompleted Amherst campus, extra for tuition, not to mention a raise in room and board charges. Another of the students’ needs is a finished campus, included in this are a gym, recreational facilities, better lecture halls and better equipped labs. Students have the right to facilities large enough to accomodate the size of this University. We should not have to put up with small antiquated facilities. One of the problems with the NY STate University system is that it does not fund athletic teams. It does not allow athletic grants and aids. MOst of the other State education systems fund athletic teams. One statewide issue that does not concern the University but does concern the students is the idea of voting in Buffalo rather than their parents’ home. Students live in Buffalo 9 months of the year. The legislators in this area have a great deal of influence over the School’s administration. Students should,, have a say in who represents the University community in Albany. These are the main issues. I believe a good way of finding out how up) would link the students to current issues and meetings. The present grievance box should be placed in Squire Hall for SA and SASU group, continue writing our legislators to let them know we realize what is happening and that we care. SASU is the established lobby for the students. It organizes the students and makes sure that the administrators know that we are here. SASU must continually make itself heard in Albany, this is perhaps the best method of recognition. To do this we need qualified students in SASU. We must all realize that individually we have little say in the dealings in Albany, but together, as a large interest group, we can be heard, loud and clear, all the way to the governor’s office. We must continue with all the efforts we have been expending lately. The way to accomplish this is through SASU. Thomas Moran 1) What t>o y°u know about student needs here and about statewide student issues that makes you qualified for the position of SASU Delegate? 1) As a SASU Delegate I would deal with issues of concern to students all over the State. would have two I responsibilities: first, to determine SASU policy with all the other SASU delegates at the two conferences in June and November; second, to relate the needs and concerns of the students at Buffalo to the SASU organization in Albany. Hopefully (and ideally!) the two, policy goals and student needs, will be the same. Of particular interest to students here is a larger SUNY budget, possibly through a cut to subsidies to private colleges (New York is one of the largest subsidizers of education and this hurts us by matters. private 2) How can students, as an interest group, increase their political power in this state? 2) Students •today,' are becoming politically active again. They arc voting, hold demonstrations, and make contact with their legislators, as was shown just recently during the “no tuition hike education), and further construction of our campus. To a large extent the latter is dependent on the former. Of more general interest is the dp facto disenfranchisement of college students who go away to school. Anyone who has been here for a year or more knows what a hassle it is to get registered, get an absentee ballot, and return it before the election. As a SASU delegate i would do what I could to gain the passage of the two bills now in making less money available for public campaign.” recentl/, Until administrators did not the statewide really respect the i •Mw e. •: A v»'t V/.l M, 1 * to % ‘4,**. t. the state legislature which will make it m easier for a college student to get an absentee ballot or be able to vote in his 3 • college community -t As a SASU delegate I would make sure those in Albany know these, among others, are our wants and I would do what is o possible to make them happen. c ® 2) How can students, as an interest S group, increase their political power in this § state? 2) Students arc a large, if only potential, political power-within this state. As an interest group they must become active to achieve their goals And there are meaningful and useful ways of getting involved. Before they can get involved they must be informed. As a SASU delegate I would be a link between SASU and Buffalo, 1 could release information to the two student newspapers. Information such as what bills are coming up. for vote that are of interest to students and how their representatives voted afterwards. This will make students aware and hopefully provide enough incentive to get involved. Lobbying is perhaps the most effective way students as an interest group can increase their political power. The recent trips t» Albany to protest the tuition hike are good examples. Lobbying the local state legislators in their home office is also important in order to remind them who it is that puts them in office and whose interests should be represented. Letter writing is another way of flexing our political might, one that does not take up too much partying or studying time! Awareness and involvement are the keys to unlock the door of the state legislature. I will keep you informed and try to get you involved as SASU delegate. Representative to the College Council Michael Pierce I) How can the College Council be made more responsive to student needs? 1) 1 ask that my mandate be renewed so that I may continue to serve as your determined representative to the University Council. Looking back on the year past, 1 see that some progress has been made. No longer does the College Council feel free to insult and degrade students. Respect is something that must be demanded; it is not a gift. Through the great support that 1 have received from students, we have shown that we are a force that cannot be dismissed, but one that must be considered. 1 will still insist that the student representative receive a vote in the Council. Furthermore, advocate a I will restructuring of the Council. Such restructuring will include reduction of the terms of appointment from five years to two years, the addition of two more and the students, addition of a representative for the faculty and staff. This is a proposal that will require action by the State Legislature. Another proposal that I intend to introduce is that the College Council call a University-wide referendum which will be binding, on the of the question of reappointment University President or ratification of a new President, whatever the case may be. It is utter foolishness to even assume that the members of the College Council speak for the true interests of the University. Therefore, it is only right that the members of the University Community participate in their fundamental governance. The College Council must finally realize that they are no longer a body responsible only to themselves, they have abdicated any responsibility to the welfare of students by refusing to take a stand on the tuition hike, should therefore, they abdicate any sham idea that they are a governing board. Shdrt of dissolution, they should be bound by the collective and wishes of expressed the University community. A common theme runs throughout the program that 1 have just outlined and that is the principle of justice. Without justice no part of the foundation can stand. That those who submit to authority should have a right to participate in their processes of governance should at this time be an indisputable fact. The days of autocracy are over. With a renewed mandate of support and continuing confidence of the students I will continue the honor of being your servant and forceful representative to the College Council. �editorial * » a. daymonday 63 I Why we endorse It is always important to realize things when evaluating The Spectrum's endorsement policy; £ First the endorsements, like any editorial, are our opinions based on as mbch information as we can | gather in a short period of time, but 5 still, in the end, opinions. Secondly, they are only part of our election responsibilities, which include extensive coverage of candidates' forums and several pages of the candidates' own statements on major Thirdly, issues. are a they newspaper's right in that they responsibly address an issue of major importance to readers. This year, it is equally important to realize a few other things about endorsements: we are no longer the only publication that can endorse candidates. Although the process is admitedly long and requires a firm command of the issues, both Worlds magazine and The Other One, an alternative news collective, are of capable and a interviewing rendering judgement on all candidates. even Secondly, without endorsements from Worlds and The Other One, their mere existence can afford the student body another perspective on news, including news about the SA elections. These different be perspectives can balanced against The Spectrum's when evaluating our endorsements. Thirdly, this year is a particularly crucial one for SA, with the organization coming off six months of absolute anarchy within its own Senate and with the government's alienation from the student body becoming clearer each week. With these concerns, and a relatively weak field of candidates, the elections swell in importance and our responsibility to take an informed stand grows commensurately. Nevertheless, there will once again come the calls for an end to endorsements with the along ever-sophisticating charges that The Spectrum not the voters determines the winners. We, of course, strongly maintain that no one can gauge the extent to which The Spectrum merely predicts the winners and the extent to which it actually wins elections for its endorsed candidates. Others are not so reluctant. But there is little doubt that The Spectrum's editorial judgements and the eventual winners regularly coincide. We happen to think that there are many factors involved here factors somewhat more complex than editors merely snapping their fingers to produce victories. Very often, there are wide differences in the quality of candidates, differences that are easily *■; tSveral £ ” — > - - — President discerned by the electorate and differences that show up in the vote totals. This will be the case in many of this year's races, where one candidate i c vastly more informed and more likely to command respect than his or her competitors. Since we believe that our endorsements are well-informed, and reasonably-articulated; and that they accurately compare the candidates, we also believe that other input voters receive predominantly the candidates forums and the printed statements will back up our judgements in readers' minds, and vice versa. But to make the process fairer, we are presenting the endorsements last, after one of the forums and after in reading the candidates' own sequence — — - — Hopefully, voters will have some ideas on the relative qualifications of the candidates before evaluating our judgements. Of course, our critics charge that voters merely read the endorsements and walk into the booths, disdaining all other .information. While we are quite sure there are some students who consider the endorsements all they need to make up their minds, we are more interested in reducing their number by expanding the general awareness of the electorate than we are in guessing how Significant a portion of the vote total they represent. statements. The real problem in SA elections is not The Spectrum and not its endorsement policy, but the voters' limited knowledge of and interest in the candidates. The solution, we feel, is not to eliminate endorsements and thus reduce the number of perspectives that can be brought to the election, but to add to those perspectives and to place The Spectrum's perspective in its proper light. - That is why we have consistently championed alternative publications, why we do not purport our endorsements as the final say on any race and why we offer candidates the chance to respond in the following issue. Endorsements are our opinions and they are presented as such. Again, it is a newspaper's right to endorse political candidates. We feel it is our responsibility to render an editorial judgement on the SA elections. We are not out to destroy candidates or to manipulate voters' minds. We consider ourselves informed enough to judge the qualifications of the candidates; we take a great deal of care in making those judgements; and we feel we are fair m presenting them to the student body. Our purpose is not to deceive;' we are merely doing our job. Endorsements Once again, the field of Student Association candidates is not a particularly strong one.

Editor, and Cacavas, a Campus Editor. our bW The SA President, as the most influential and powerful member of student government, must be able to lend direction, create positive new ideas and work to unite the student body as it aims for positive, necessary advancements. This year's Executive Committee forged ahead University both the in making Administration and the State government better understand and respect student government, and made impressive strides in fighting for realistic, attainable goals. Crucial to SA progress this year was Executive Vice President Joel Mayersohn whom we feel possesses much of the ability and knowledge necessary for a student leader. Mayersohn has battled admirably against SUNY's proposed $150 tuition hike for freshmen and sophomores, tirelessly lobbying State legislators for their support. The Vice President was closely involved in forming the undergraduate students' stand with six months of seasoning as SA's Number Two would clearly best be able to lead student government to meaningful — — gams. Far less capable Of furthering SA's advancements is Ben Rossctt. Although imaginative, student Rossett's goal to reorganize government into a Congress seems thoroughly impractical and virtually impossible to implement. Even he is unsure of how it would be instituted. His plan to make mandatory student fees voluntary as a way to appease some commuter students is plainly irresponsible. Student activities here would crumble. Rossett's lack of experience in a student government clearly showed in the interview Three other Presidential candidates the endorsement interviews. Michael Schwartz is running on the same ticket as Vice Presidential candidate Glenn Abolafia who advocates recreating the student government under a collective, structuralist approach. Michael Levinson's experience in student government includes a failed referendum two years ago which would have redesigned SA and his government activities this year trying to dissolve The Spectrum. Gunawan Sulliawan is an ex-SA senator and SA International Affairs Coordinator. boycotted against the proposed Division of Undergraduate Education Dean Health Sciences split. Mayersohn also has considerable knowledge in other vital areas — of concern to students here such as General Education and the implementation of the Springer and Report, possesses a personality well suited for the position: he is understanding and conciliatory, yet can get tough when he has tn. loel M^versohn Executive Vice President The Executive Vice President has become an increasingly important position in SA. Although a sharp delineation of power between the President and Vice President does not exist, we believe that the Vice President should not only chair student Senate meetings, but should have a clear, well-defined and astute perception of major University issues. Doug Floccare has these qualities. He has a solid understanding of SA and shared m%ny suggestions on how to improve the communication flow between the Senate and the SA Executive Committee. His proposal that the Senate have a "speaker" who is also on the Executive Committee could certainly be a first step in bridging the gap that this year so heavily divided SA. He has a realistic "long term" goal of re-writing the SA Constitution that would help alleviate many internal student government frustrations. Floccare is a clear-thinker and has proven himself a responsible worker in developing a student medical emergency team. and would result in SA's loss power many of the day-to-day crucial decisions that the Student proposed — on Association is faced with. Although we admire his "no stipend" platform, his plans seem detached from the realities of the Vice President’s job. His well-planned collective, structuralist approach basing a new student government on affinity groups derived from a political party while — - creative in the abstract, virtually ignores the practicality of maintaining a student government that has built up influence and respect in the poVver-ladden administration. Pat Uan Alstyne, who is an energetic newcomer to the SA scene, lacks a great deal of knowledge about student government and is unsure of her own plan to form a Student Congress. Her suggestion to make ,the student mandatory fee a totally voluntary one, is not only ill-conceived, but immensely impractical. She fs" very uninformed about major University issues such as General — We believe Glenn Ablolafia's goal to totally restructure SA is unfeasible as - of Education, SA itself. Springer Implementation and Vice President for Sub Board I This year, the position of Vice President for Sub Board I has come increasinglyHnto the public eye with the abortion coverage controversy, but the heading of a multi-million dollar corporation, takes a broadly-talented person who can apply skills to a wide range of problems, many of which have little to do with one another. Christopher Jasen will fill the bill. Although he has no experience in student government, in a few weeks of candidacy he has gained a competent understanding of Sub Board and its structure and has expressed what we believe is a sincere dedication to work hard in the student interest. Though we presented him with questions on issues he knew little about until a few weeks ago, Jasen came through with well-conceived and reasonable responses. He has our firm endorsement. Barbara Hilliard, while sincere in her Wesire to get involved and change things, knew almost nothing about how Sub Board is structured, where, its funding comes from, or who votes on the corporation's board of directors. Though she correctly identified Sub Board's failure to reach out to special interest and minority needs, she had almost no new ideas on how to solve that perennial problem. Lastly, her stands on some familiar Sub Board issue make us extremely uncomfortable. Her view that males should not pay for abortion coverage and that the university does not need-an alternative to Spectrum The are particularly alarming.

The — director must advocate the student side of a position of little power. The endorsement for this post was academic issues from difficult because both particularly candidates are experienced in SA and would perform competently in the position. However, Judiann Carmack is our choice over Michael Bergstein.

But his level of thinking did not strike as deep as did was nearly all the Carmack's. Where Bergstein thought that merely informing DUE academic advisors about the problems of Springer would help, Carmack wisely suggested that faculty and peer advisors must be used to bolster the overburdened DUE staff. Where Bergstein said that he would personally approach Dianna while Derhak, appearing individual department chairmen about motivated and enthusiastic about her problems students face, Carmack's idea of involvement in the University, would do department-based governance boards was better to participate in various areas of much more far-reaching and feasible.

Bergstein was politics to come up with genuine ideas on somewhat stronger on the how to move forward. Her desire to better teaching effectiveness and Springer issues, but not the student environment is overshadowed enough to pull him even with Carmack. by limited analytical perceptions and a Bergstein, in short, would be a good sketchy understanding of the Student choice for the position if Carmack was not Association running. We only wish every SA race could boast two candidates as qualified as these . Director of Student Affairs For the nebulous position of Director of an enthusiastic person with an understanding of student desires and problems is a necessity especially in the face of the raging student apathy plaguing this University. James Stern, through his experience as a legislative assistant for the Stiltfent Association of State University (SASU) has familiarized himself with, and gained a lucid understanding of nearly all the crucial University issues and maladies. His proposal for a University Senate that Student Affairs, — would include students and replace the Faculty Senate is especially impressive as a device for ensuring student input in University decision-making. He gave numerous ideas some new, some old on improving student participation in SA. Stem is an energetic, informed candidate with firm ideas.

He will make an excellent choice for the O) position SASU Delegate Five J • candidates are running » for the position of UB delegate to the Student Association of the State University (SASU).

Perceptive and articulate yet sometimes incorrect in his analysis of SASU’s who, organization was Thomas Moran — despite his inexperience, should learn the job soon enough.

Frozen fields of grass melt into soggy mush, then dry slowly into lush carpets of green. Biting winds fade softly into refreshing spring breezes, and winter weary students flock eagerly outdoors. Championship credentials African team will confront UB wrestlers tomorrow at Clark Hall 1 Area wrestling fans will get to It’s been a strange spring so far in Buffalo. 1 suppose just having spring in Buffalo is strange, but 40-degree weekly temperature swings do not make for regular fun in the sun. Nevertheless, there have been at least a half dozen perfect days so far. Softball enthusiasts have been quick to take advantage of the early spring weather, but the Intramural Department, acting with the speed of a receding glacier, has not yet begun its spring softball schedule. In fact, games will not commence until fully three days after students return from spring recess. True, Intramural Softball Director Frank Price took over only recently, filling in for former Assistant Intramural Director Steve Allen (who resigned), but it could hardly take more than a few days to gel the tournament organized. Maybe Prices thoughts are on catching Jim Rodriguez’ touchdown passes next fall. Single elimination see how their best grapplers measure up against international competition, when the Continental Team of Africa invades Clark Hall tomorrow at 7:30 p.m, and contends against a Niagara AAU all-star team. The African team, consisting of athletes from Morocco, Algeria. Nigeria, Senegal, Tunisia and Libya, will make Buffalo the first stop of their United States tour, fresh from competition in the World Freestyle Wrestling Cup in Toledo, Ohio. From here the squad will travel on to Albany, Boston and New York. The Continentals’ credentials are more than impressive each memtTer is the Junior African champion in his particular weight division. The Niagara AAU all-stars, comprised of the district’s finest wrestlers, will be under the reins of LIB wrestling coach Ed Michael and includes members of Bulls’ squads past and present. John De Lorenzo of Niagara Community College (who is a member of the US Junior Pan-Am team) start off the will - To compound his procrastination, Price has changed the intramural format from a hundred-plus team, double elimination tournament to a 64 team, single elimination format effectively barring dozens of students from competition and restricting play for the hundreds that will participate. Additionally, Price, a resident of Wilkeson Quad in the Ellicott Complex, has opted to confine Intramural games to the Amherst Campus, reducing the scheduling options open to the athletes. 1 wonder: why? Price, it seems, is running his program with that does not befit a student director. a degree of insensitivity competition I certainly don’t expect the four to five hundred students that will be excluded from intramurals to cry in their rooms. They’ll be out there but the spirit of tournament hitting, throwing and running competition won’t be with them. No umpires, no balls and no chance to be number one. i. — — - *. Last year, the hundred-plus teams agreed to donate half of their deposit so that every team could play. It was a noble sacrifice, and it allowed many more teams the opportunity to compete. This year, that opportunity will not exist. $10 Steve Allen’s $10,000 salary no longer burdens the Athletic Department, and that, money could pump new life into UB intramurals. Almost everyone agrees just how important it is for students to engage in athletics recreation is good for the body and the mind so it’s too bad the Athletic Departrbent keeps appointing uncaring jocks to run such a vital program. ‘I, V .

Hoar reported that the USG funding would be used for buying new mattresses, marital aids and rubber sheets in a wide variety of colors and styles. “We want to provide quality service at a reasonable price.” she said as she unbuttoned The Spectrum's shirt. When asked what her group’s position was on tuition hikes. Hoar said, “We at the Co-op are always encouraging the use of as many positions as possible.” to a now quivering The Spectrum. “And you ca'n quote me on that," she added huskily.

President R.E, Coil explained, “We want to preserve the simple values of Lackawannan life, like beef-on-week, beer drinking and steel working. All native Lackawannas are welcome to join and illiterates may become honorary members.” The USG also granted funding to many other groups but not all of them were available for comment. The UB Voodoo Society, headed by Oom Gawa, granted an interview but the reporter assigned to the story failed to return. The Spectrum also contacted the new Seance Club, but theyi refused to speak before midnight. They did, however, offer to relay a message tcTour missing reporter. Members of the Jewish American Princess Society couldn’t speak with us either, as they were all busy washing their hair.

By the end of this month, officials hope to set up booths outside each library, where students and faculty can purchase a wide variety of books at a reduced rate. Head of University Libraries Pulackman John was quite optimistic about the-plan. “Sure, it hasn’t yet been tried at other libraries,*’ he admitted, “but since the Ministry for Intra-State Evaluation of Revenue (MISER) has consistently turned down our funding requests, we were forced to be innovative. Furthermore, it’ll increase study space.” UUterati John said the notion to sell the library books in order to buy a books was fostered by currently being negotiated THE LIBRARIES' NEW LOOK: Above is an artist's rendition of what the University Libraries will look like after they institute the new policy of selling books in order to raise money to buy new books which they will in turn sell so that new books can be bought to be sold. Selling the books that will be bought to be sold will not be a major problem, library officials said. But buying books to be sold to keeb buying may violate State laws currently on the books. Which have been sold. Libraries sell books for bucks that the financially pressed Buffalo Botanical Gardens sell small plants to the public. “There is a high demand for the books throughout enthused.“1 University,” he imagine we’ll be able to sell almost all our books before next Christmas.” Acting Executive Assistant to suggestion study the feasibility of the plan is now being formed and after that committee presents its final report, a sub-committee will be appointed to examine the report followed by another committee which will implement the report after it is approved by fourteen administrators who are yet to be chosen by an executive sub-par Associate Vice President of the Division for University Development (DUD) noted that the administration here was receptive to the book-selling plan. “MISER didn’t even provide the libraries with sufficient funding to meet inflation,” said Patti Page, who did not wish her name used. She related that a committee to (he Phase Two of the plan is intended to help defray the of soaring journal costs Journals, unlike subscriptions. books, constitute a continuing expense for the libraries. The plan is to purchase journals after they become outdated. Originator of Phase Two Assistant to the co-Associate secondary Librarian Cindy Skroll noted that journals, the heart of the libraries, lake the largest slice of the libraries’ budgetary pie each year. “The current issues are what really cost,” she explained “but older issues are cheaper by as much as 50 percent.” Therefore, Skroll proposes waiting a period of not less than two years to purchase current For example, site issues. all the 1979 explained, edjtions of a particular journal would be bought in 1981 for nearly half price. This, in combination with Phase One, should ease the economic crunch on the libraries, Skroll said, barring inflationary rises, depressionary drops and regulatory equalities. University Police now are UB ASSHOLES by Tony Barfetta I.an' n' Odor Editor to bolster its In an declining image, the Department of Public Safety (University Police) changed their name Friday to the Association for Sharp Shooting, Hlinks, of Large Egoes (ASSHOLE). In the last three years, UB’s security force has changed their name from Campus Security to the University Police, to the Department of Public Safety, to its new acronym, which one officer described as “really representing our true image.” One ASSHOLE spokesman said, “We are -'trying to wipe ourselves and, our record clean.” He explained that the Department had becomed stuffed with waste in the past few years to the pojnt of constipating its effectiveness and that the new ASSHOLE hopes to get everything odt of its old system. ■ ASSHOLE One explained , that in officer view of ASSHOLE’S new name, certain changes will have to take place. “We’re not going to be so lenient anymore,” he warned. “Pot is a crime and if caught with it, you’ll be up shit’s creek.” ASSHOLE Captain Ann Us also noted that, “In the past, UB's ASSHOLE has enforced the law irregularly. Now we’re going to shit on everyone equally.” - No bullshit Along with the name change, ASSHOLE Lieutenant Harry Rektom exposed a new' pilot program that will hopefully control the recent outbreak of nighttime crime. The program, code-labeled “Under the Moons.” will have officers dress in plastic clothing, carry big sticks, and station themselves at strategic spots on campus shouting at each other. Thus, if on your way back from ihe library or a late-night snack at the Ralhskellar, and you shout, “Hey hear someone ASSHOLE! You still there?”, a student cdn rest assured that he is Inside: Dinosaur ravages Washingtan-P. 32 / ""— - “w.ell> protected.” being served As for the cost involved in changing its name, one ASSHOLE spokesman suggested it would be definitely “We’re minimal. keeping the brown cars,” he asserted, “although I’m not too sure what well do about our undercover guys. If they stay between sheets, it could get pretty Vietnam invades Ohio-P, 46 messy.” In conjunction and / 1 with above modifications, ,ASSHOLE Detective F. Art Loudly revealed that all cars not the color brown will receive parking tickets as of today. According to Loudly, the parking problem on campus has reached “catastrophic proportions and since the ASSHOLE is already notorious for ticketing drivers for the most petty violations, “We might as well ticket every one and let the student body know we are behind them.” Where else? So if you must discharge of a problem or detect any suspicious movements on campus, call 636-2222 and remember their new motto; “WE may stink, but everyone needs an ASSHOLE.” Uniwrsit y adapts is-credit plan-P. 634 ! Insanity cured �M - by Peter Potty Staff Writer Spectrum Revolting urinals: j I I Receptacles declare ; porcelain power Director of Squire Hall Norton Cramden told The Spectrum Thursday that the urinals in the building's third floor men's room were “fighting back.” Cramden was somewhat reluctant to reveal exactly what the receptacles were doing, but finally admitted, “Well, what it is is, actually, it’s sort of gross really. Well, if you really want to know the truth, they’re pissing back.” Cramdeq admitted this was the first instance of counter-urination that he had encountered in his 16 years as Director of the Student Union, but d.d relate that the urinals were occasionally unkind to Buffalo Police in the late '60’s. The targets of the disturbed urinals, Cramden said, have been almost exclusively “student government officials,” although he claimed at times the receptacles don’t discriminate, “They just plain let loose on anyone.” Cramden said the urinals have been agitated for some time, but have recently stepped up their retaliatory actions for reasons he could not explain. He said it is conceivable that the urinals are old and perhaps getting senile. “That’s not an easy job they’ve got, you know” he claimed, “hanging on the wall all day and just getting pissed on. Man, I’d-geb pretty upset too. You’ve just gotta have some compassion for those poor things. They’re quiet, reliable, and always there when you need them. I think they’re really upset about all the cigarettes and things that people throw into them.” Pissed off Cramden explained that he got suspcious that “something” was going wrong when he noticed men leaving the bathroom angry and confused. “They just would walk outa there mumbling to themselves ‘What the hell is going on around here?’ But it was more than just that. You could tell that something awfully wierd was happening in there ’cause the guysj well, to get right to the point, they really smelled disgusting. 1 couldn’t take it no more. You’d sit and have a cup of coffee in the little lounge right next to the bathroom and you’d damn near pass out. This is no joke.” When asked if he considered plugging up the drains to choke the urinals, Cramden replied “What the hell’s that going to do? Those urinals aren’t stupid you know. You start clogging them up and they’ll just piss in your face. This is a real problem.” • Cramden indicated that University Police are considering using the K-9 Corps to surprise the receptacles, or attacking the unruly urinals from behind: “Whatever they do, they better do it fast,” he said. “If the toilets catch on, watch out.” Stevenson flies away: Buffalo’s gain is Uganda’s loss by Marky Maypo Sunkenwits, “Now I won’t have do his xeroxing at The Rectum." political Another ally of Stevenson, former Tost in Space star Will Robinson, will not join Stevenson’s cabinet, but will continue his efforts to consolidate BSU and JSU into a single, unified Wine Editor to Prophet Campus Leonard Stevenson announced yesterday that he returning from political exile to reclaim the throne in his native Veteran Mitchell Uganda.

Although Pentagon officials were reluctant to disclose precise details of the new missile concept. The Spectrum has learned that the pjocess involves spontaneous reproduction of warheads jUiXtaocket boosters via the exchange of genetic and telemetric information between two adjoining missiles to a brand new baby missile.” ecstatic Air Force Colonel Nuke Lear Armgedden An called the new fast breeding missile or FBM, “an utter revolution in arms technology that is destined to put America back on top of the Russians by allowing us to create as many missiles as we want, when we want. All we gotta do, is put one female missile next to another male missile and bang shazam, those horny projectiles start multiplying. Before you know it you got a few dozen spanking new baby missiles on your hands. It’s really wonderful,Armgedden beamed. Defense Secretary Harold Brown cautioned at a House Armed Services Hearing, Thursday that we must be on guard for Soviet infiltrators attempting to place contraceptive devices on our new self-reprodupyffe nuclear arsenal. “The Russians are not only diabolical Commie Pinkos who are trying to subvert the Free World,” Brqwn warned, “but they are also puritanical moralists who wish to put restraints on American social conventions like inhibition-free sex. They’ll go so far as to prevent the union of two mutually consenting, adult missiles,” the Defense Secretary said.

Guenther, chief project engineer of “We were j entering into a theretofore unexploted area of non-sentient | android reproduction coupled with the new genetics. In our first attempted union we deposited a male and a female missile into a submarine lauhching tube and we 2 ended up with 105 Maytag Washing Machines,” Guenther 3 3 revealed. Orphan missiles “At that point we were faced with the whole project S’ going down the tubes. It was horrible; there the Pentagon Vo wss pouring billions of dollars into this giant weapons £ development program and all we had to show fdr it were a few dozen laundry cleaining apparatuses, not something -S you can really frighten the Russians with.” The Generals were pretty pissed off Guenther indicated. And they weren’t really placated any when we offered to give away some of the Maytags to their wives.” “? u * eventually,” i continued, -“we started meeting wfth real success. Actually, it was inevitable, we had the best scientific minds in the country working on this project, we couldn’t fail. Only problem is that we haven’t found a way to adequately control the number of missile offspring. They go at it like rabbits, so we end up with thousands of little missiles that we have no room for. There’s really no way of destroying them safely so they end up homeless and without mothers; emotionally impaired for life. Ultimately these disadvantaged missiles end up on the federal and state payroll, adding to the average taxpayer’s burden.” Concerned project scientists are setting up an orphan missile adoption agency to find loving homes for forlorned nuclear missiles. “They’re really quite docile,” one scientist intimated, “no problems with toilet training or clothing costs. As a matter of fact, I’ve got one sitting right in my backyard at home, just as long as you tell your kids not to fool around with the detonation device you’re fine. Soon, 1 think people will overcome their initial fears and come to realize that these missiles have certain inalienable rights including the right to shelter. At that point you’ll see respectable homes adopting these poor abandoned projectiles,” the scientist added hopefully. ~ Guenther. 5 Gay missiles The new fast breeding missile has come under fire from conservative groups like the Right to Lifers and various anti-pornography groups as just ahtoher example of our lascivious and loose moraled times. “It’s really sad to think that we’ve gotten to the point where the standard bearers of our nation’s defense: our Minuteman Missiles are not immune from illicit sexual relations,” protested etiquette arbiter, the late Amy Vanderbilt. “Who’s to say that certain so-inclined Defense workers won’t set up a union between two male missiles,” commented Florida Orange propagandist and anti-Gay activist Anita Bryant. “Think of what a terrible threat gay missiles would be ter our national security,” she warned.

It does not. The results of this action are not nearly so simple as they appear on the superficial surface which lies primarily on the top. More accurately, this caustic decision of magmanatory obsolescence, is a further finkelsteination of abrogatory virulence which is evidenced, evinced and evicted by its demogoguaraciousness that has so characterized the leadership at this University. To assume that esoteric persona will be liberated from the chronic stranglehold of ritualistic vibration is heinously and irreputably false. Rather, more specifically, directly, assuredly and to the point, the decision further jumbles what has already become an incomprehensibly confusing situational process of demur maladies. Ironically, this is not what the University Administration had in its dubiously fractionalized so called mind when it vacillates among the vicissitudes of vaccuous vicosis. Had the Administration truly endeavored to endear the constituents in the crossroads landmark, it most surely would have embarked on a more perennially elemental route of course or action. To do otherwise only further clouds a nebulous group of abstract biorhythms which are both frostulant in their manner and distinctive in their animosity. What this University needs is clear, concise thinking. Anything else is just stupid. amprphoustations No guns After considerable thought and conscientious conscience-searching, we think that it is about time somebody had the guts to come right out and say exactly what’s wrong with students here.

Yeah, we ve heard all that dialectic crap from these pseudo-intellectual types who claim that students are spending a great deal of their time getting involved in apathy. This is tenuous and we just don't buy it. No way. These are the same dopes who think that by not attending all of these Spreinger and General Education meetings they are vehemently expressing their species-being alienation with the capitalist system.

Clearly Mr; Chaperson is an arrogant, sanctimonious moron who cannot be trusted to take home movies let alone review a masterpiece such as The Buckshooter.

Plot sick-making 'Coprophagia' dishes up a tasty treat our minds emptied of secure bourgeois notions by Moss Chaperson Spectrum Film Critic Coprophagia's fixation on the handling and consumption of feces is not the product of mere perversion. Director Felix Grubb is not a man with his head between his legs; he is a moving artist standing tall with his eyes wide open. Grubb differs from the “safe” directors of Hollywood in that he has chbsen to stand tall in the latrines of our capitalistic society and to look fearlessly into the gaping anus that is our future, in Coprophagia. Grubb shows us what’s in the awful abyss: shit and lots of it. Felix Grubb’s idiom of scatology here is a logical progression from his earlier films which include Shoot My Wad. I.ezzie Tongue Lashings. Puss in Black Leather Boots, Cornholing, and the acclaimed Two Cheers For RectaI Mucous. Although many people have passed off his as “disgusting, work dehumanizing filth” and even sick,” ‘‘dangerously more perceptive and brilliant critics like myself have seen his films for what they are; vomit-inducing indictments of our vomit-inducing culture. Watching a Grubb film is cathartic profoundly a experience: not only are our stomachs emptied, but so too are Feces Coprophagia follows the biz/.are odyssey of a middle-class couple from their comfortable Westchester home to the sewers of Newark where they engorge themselves and die, a laconic grin on their sullied faces. Ward Stool (Hal Halitosis), _an insurance salesman and avowed Republican, and his wife Sally (Dora Dungheep) live the apocryphal good life. But right from the we know that beginning. something is horribly awry. When we first sec them, Sally is sitting on the toilet singing “Moon River” while, in the bedroom. Ward applies Oxy-5 to an angry pair of pimples on his buttocks. What we sec of their home life consists of nothing more than eating hoggishly, changing the baby, taking the dog out for walks, and disappearing into the bathroom with copies of Forbes, When Sally’s mother comes to visit, she mysteriously brings a double roll of toilet paper, an economy-sized bottle of Philips Milk of Magnesia, and a Ziplock bag, of partially chewed stew meat. Sally tries not to notice her mother’s faux pas but can’t keep her eyes off these strange offerings. When Ward emerges ,. More feces One think this might scatological motif is merely the result of a demented mind feeding the deviant desires of society's sickos. But this view arises out of extreme ignorance. We who have brains see and understand: eating shit is Grubb’s metaphor for the dissolution of bourgeois society. He is telling us with his discharged images of excrement that any social order based on the exploitation and alienation of its working classes must inevitably end by consuming its own waste, choking itself to death. Ward and Sally, wallowing in Fortune. Ladies Home Journal, and expensive electronic marital aids, are depraved beyond reason and so their disgusting adventures come as no surprise. On their trek, they assault little girls in party dresses and evacuate on their faces still sticky with lollipops which are inexplicably phallus-shaped. While watching these horrific voidances, I could not help remembering Jean-Luc Godard’s Weekend in which a bourgeois couple sets fire to a storybook character and an obscure but influential underground film called Barnyard Betty in which a young farmgirl fellates a horse and is innundated in its semen. The messages here are the same: bourgeois ideology unfalteringly leads to its immersion in its own unsavoury by-products. £ * * BON APPETITE: Actor Hal Halitosis digs in in Falix Grubb's naw film, 'Coprophagia.'

The Advisory Committee did however, approve the inclusion of several new features, such as emergency dental coverage, and expanded coverage in other areas. The survey is the third annual investigation into student opinion of the health plan, which stirred a small war this year between two factions of the University, who lined up on opposite sides of the lQ7‘)-80 policy abortion issue The survey, which will cost an estimated $2000 allows Sub Board and the Advisory Committee to get a “good statistical sense" of student opinion on the plan, according to Sub Board Executive Director Dennis Black, an Advisory Committee member. The study also enables the groups to compare the current policy to previous years’, giving a broader perspective on its relative effectiveness. Close vote Sub Board’s Board of Directors (at its March 22 meeting) narrowly approved inclusion of,the controversial mandatory abortion coverage in its 1979-80 policy. However, the Health Insurance Advisory Committee, and finally the University President, must approve Ihe plan. In the past, the survey has been used to gather student input into the policy. Due to. the furor caused by the summer 1978 decision to add the abortion coverage. Sub Board officials had attempted to speed their decision this year, snubbing the survey for an Open Forum, which was held March 8. . Sub Board was “severely chastised” for making last year’s decision during the summer, said Black, a time when the student voice is noticeably diluted. But, he added, Sub Board was “very satisfied” with the student input it received last year. “We did not feel that we made a decision in the dark,” said Black. The Advisory Committee will make a decision on the abortion coverage after the survey results are ready, according to committee chairman Len Snyder, thus students will probably learn of the decision before Jhey depart for the summer. “We clearly understand the importance of at least providing a couple of weeks for this to be reviewed” Snyder — — ’ ~ I p| Significant additions The Advisory Committee put its stamp of approval on “a coverage that “translates into $330 in coverage”, up from about $130, according to Synder; inclusion of emergency dental coverage for some ailments, not including fillings; an increase in major medical expense benefits from $5000 to $10,000 with an expansion in coverage from 52 weeks to 104 weeks; an increased aid for dependents of UB students to include the first three visits to a physician, which are not currently covered. The 11 member Advisory Committee includes Sub Board Chairman Jane Baum, a student representative; Director of Health Services M. Luther Musselman; Chairman of Recreation, Athletics and Related Instruction Sal Esposito and Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Anthony Lorenzetti. Senate seal of approval concludes long Gen Ed debate by lay Rosen liditor-in-Chief The largest group, who thought foreign language belonged as part of a study. cross-cultural in requirement Psychology Professor Erwin Segal authored the motion that eventually passed; and the social sciences faculty seemed to favor this — The Faculty Senate had just concluded dull and dramatic third week of discussion on the General Education plan. Unnoticed amidst the rustling of overcoats, the gathering of papers and the exchange of sighs, was a quick firm handshake joining the two men who withstood the parliamentary rigors and political intricacies of the year’s most critical academic debate. As Senate Chairman Newton Garver and General Education Committee Chairman Norman Baker grasped hands, the mercurial and often inscrutable seal of the voting faculty was pressed onto the 25 pages of'elastic prose"and stiff institutional jargon that prescribes the most fundamental change the undergraduate program has seen in almost a decade. General Education came of age Tuesday, but not before, its promises of timely innovation and intellectual revival were called hollow and meaningless. The consensus reached in the three weeks of debate was about all the Committee could—hope for a general, though certainly not unanimous feeling that the whole of the Gen Ed report was worth more than the sum of each Senator’s an alternately approach. — objections. Wait and see This collective compromise was helped along by the tenuous nafUre of many of the report’s provisions.

These threats, Beyer said, are “brought to us courtesy of the people who brought us the War," Vietnam Rather than staging an outright nuclear war the government wants to put men in the field, he said. Beyer told the nearly 100 politely attentive students they must take the lead, as they have in the past, to crush three bills now before Congress to bring back the draft. Me speculated that by next year, a new Selective Service would return to replace the voluntary u n d e r s t affed enlistment plan presently in use. Beyer Service, Selective claimed, is an attempt to. identify those with special talents for the government to utilize. Moreover, it is a “tool of class and race oppression,” according to Beyer.

At a meeting of the Worlds staff, editors agreed that, since no one"" person was willing to take on the responsibility, “four or five people would share the burden.” Dinerstein retained the actual title, but he now termed the position “a Collective Editorship.” In addition to Dinerstein’s disenchantment with what he termed a lack of “support and response by students,” he also felt that'he had too much responsibility. Dinerstein said he >yas the only one, with the possible exception of Managing Editor Jeri Sfepman, who consistently appeared to layout the paper each deadline. With the shared responsibility, Dinerstein is confident the two editions scheduled for release after-spring break will appear. Chairman of Sub Board 1 Inc. Jane Baum expressed relief at‘the news. Sub Board’s Publication Division funds the magazine; and Baum had feared that the failure of the last two editions to appear would jeopordize Worlds economic status at this Summer’s budget hearings. The completion of the original publication schedule “will definitely help Worlds will have done what it set out to do,” she said. Dinerstein said that Worlds is starting a recruitment campaign for next year s staff. Since most of the current editors will not be on the staff, he hopes to train new members for the last two issues. The drive, he said, will include advertising, flyers and visiting classes. - �Candidates cite apathy, call for restructuring Virtually every candidate for Student Association (SA) office pointed to apathy as the major problem with student government at a sparsely attended foru Squire Hall lounge Wednesda Solutions problem the * u> informally.

Jailhouses, according to James V Bennett in a recent Federal Another pract contradiction of prison life is that while at least 60 percent of the prisoners are urban blacks, only three to four percent of the guards are black, said Christianson. Likewise, current prison policy is to build correctional facilities as far away from cities as possible, isolating the convict in a not only oppressive, but foreign, environment. Coupled with the practical problems of prison ideology are a gamut of very real, unnerving theoretical paradoxes. On one hand, prisons are expected fo punish; on the other, they are supposed to reform. They are expected to discipline men while teaching them rigorously self-reliance. They are designed as vast, impersonal machines, yet they are expected to reshape men underground “brotherhood."

As the ad says, “It’s Miller Time” or maybe time for Schlitz, or Molson, or "Bud.” Perhaps a shot of Jaok Daniels is your way to get “sloppy drunk.” But if legislation recently introduced by state Assemblyman Melvin N. Zimmer (D. Syracuse) is passed, 18 to 20-year-olds won’t be allowed to drink The first reason Zimmer cited for raising the drinking age is the increasing number of alcohol related fatalities among 18 to 20-year-olds. The second is what sociologists call the “trickle down" effect: 14 and 15-year-olds getting alcohol their from 18-year-old Some friends. sociologists believe that this has contributed significantly to the teen-age alcohol abuse problem. To support his legislation. Zimmer points to a study by the Michigan State Police. The study compared statistics for 1971, when Michigan’s minimal legal drinking age was 21, and for 1976, when it was 18. (Michigan returned to the 21 limit last fall.) The police found that while the number of 18 to 20-year-old drivers increased by only 9 percent, alcohol-related fatalities for that age group jumped an incredible 132, percent. Personal injury damage and property accidents soared 217 percent. But for the “over 21” group, the number of people involved in alcohol-related accidents increased at the same pace as the driving - —DIVIncenzo Luce, foreign eon 'Khomeini wanted to be frineds with U.S. in Speaker claims Shah’s militarism his downfall by Ralph Allen Contributing editor Having recently returned from Iran, Don Luce, the man who first reported on the infamous “tiger pits” of Vietnam in the late Sixties, spoke to students in the Haas Lounge Wednesday afternoon on the changes in Iran since a popular Islamic revolution toppled the Shah. Attempting to pin down the cause of that nation’s civil turmoil. Luce said, “What caused the war wasn’t modernization but militarization.” The Shah’s program of reform and industrialization, fingered by the popular press as an important reason for his downfall, was something of a farce, claimed Luce. His programs of land reform broke up the large holdings of local tribes and mosques, weakening important institutions of social control and resulting in the mismanagement of land. On the subject of women’s rights in Iran, now receiving considerable press because of the struggle of some Iranian women against Koranic edicts forcing them to wear the chador a traditional black garb hiding all but their eyes Luce declared that this furor is not peculiar to the Khomeini regime but is actually an extended reaction to the Shah’s repressive policies towards women. “He liberated only a few symbolic women, like his wife.” - — The Shah's banditry In addition to the Shah’s militarism, Luce cited the Shah’s immense personal wealth, estimated at $20 billion, as a cause of the revolution. With this and his $5 billion military budget, the Iranian people reportedly felt that the Shah was depriving them of Iran’s vast oil revenues by lining his own pocket and the pockets of foreign interests. Luce, who spoke with Khomeini in January, told his attentive audience that Khomeini “wanted very much to be friends with the U.S.” but that such friendship depended on “our non-intervention in Iranian affairs.” He related the hope of Iranians that their country not become another Chile, alluding to the American involvement in the coup that overthrew the Marxist Allende government and put the right-wing military junta o/ Pinochet in power. No one Luce spoke to in Iran except William Sullivan, the U.S. ambassador there, foresees the Shah returning to power. Speaking more specifically about the Khomeini-backed Bazargan government, Luce felt that there were many vexing issues facing them such as the Kurdish rebellion and Conflict over women’s rights but expressed optimism about their eventual solution. A primary difficulty facing Bazargan, he asserted, is encouraging people to increase farm production. Iran now imports 50 percent of its food, making it dependent on foreign sources. Education will also be an important issue, not only in supplying it but as to whether or not it will be provided equally for men and women. Iran’s illiteracy rate fyovers at about 60 percent for men and much higher for women. population. “Quite frankly,” Zimmer said, “we want the 18 to 20-year-olds to live to be 21 Dead drunk to According Zimmer, sociological studies have shown that when the drinking age is 2 1, alcohol will “trickle down” to 18, 19 and 20-year-olds, but will not reach the I"4 to 17-year-old crowd nearly as often. He believes his bill considerably would reduce teenage alcohol abuse. The high incidence of “under drivers involved in drunken driving fatalities is not restricted to Michigan. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported more than 47,000 people killed in motor vehicle accidents in 1977. Of these, 9 percent involved drunken drivers under 20 years old. The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) attributes U-7 percent of all accidents in New York to the 18 to 20 age group. However, that age group is responsible for 16 2,1 ” percent affairs, lie said.

However, creating an additional 68 bed spaces by depriving Resident Advisors (RA's) of their roommate free status is not the solution. Rather, it is a poorly conceived plan that will not only result in varying pay scales for different RA's (some RA's will have roommates, others won't; some will have larger rooms than others), but it is almost certain to contribute to the dormitory attrition rate. Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty made two mistakes in coming to his decision: he did not involve any RA's or low-level Housing personnel in his decision; and he failed to. consider other alternatives of finding more bed space. University departments still occupy space in the Ellicott Complex, while the Music Department holds the first two floors of Pritchard Hall on the Main Street Campus. How many bed spaces could be found if these departments were forced to relocate or double up? Isn't there wasted office space in the residence halls that could be made suitable for student housing? Can't buildings such as Stockton-Kimball be altered again for this once a student derm Tower purpose?

It was only after the second meeting of the Senate that it occurred to me that I had better earn my reputation as a gang member by at least introducing myself to some of my co-conspirators, I have learned, however, that the coolness to extending the affirmative action component to include other minorities had nothing to do with any desire to monopolize the “enrollment grab” that is dear to Rosen. It grew from Women’s Studies wariness about the University’s ability to sprout overnight a welter of carefully-titled bogus courses with minute reading lists and with no was Women in genuine educational intent Medieval Tibet one of them? These are really and introduced. This To the Editor This letter addresses a few issues in Jay Rosen’s and wrong-headed but frequently overstated, and hence misleading, piece in The Spectrum of March 26 on the affirmative action component advocacy in the Faculty Senate. 1 should say immediately that 1 am not defending every or wrongly proposition that may be rightly associated with supporters of the component. 1. Rosen says that “Black Studies courses. . appeal to (minority students) as much by design as by the majority’s reluctance.” Rosen prudently chooses not to attempt to support this assertion. To begin with, it sits rather incongruously with his overriding claim that this Department, with American Studies and Women’s Studies, is making an for the same “enrollment grab” in the Senate students the Department’s courses “by design” are meant to alienate. Jay Rosen is obviously unfamiliar with feeling and practice in the Department. The Department is extremely mindful of the rights of Black America and the legitimacy of Black Studies, but does not regard chauvinism as a substitute for education 2. Rosen argues that the affirmative action component should try '“to explore the altitudinal network that creates cultural bias” and from this the “cultural experiences and expressions” of racial minorities and women would come through anyway. It is of course not a trifling claim. Another approach, however, without wishing to exaggerate their distinctiveness in practice, much more effectively uses the, powerful educational tool of personal experience. It can be argued, that is, in so far as education can dissolve bigotry, the potential bigot is most effectively relieved of his tendencies by a vast of concrete ' cases which repeatedly array demonstrate to him the errors of his prejudgments and the rationality or social validity of the seemingly irrational or deviant The objective is to have personal experience induce in him the habit of muting and distrusting his certainties and suspending his judgments on the stranger. This tends to imply an ethnographic approach and to reverse Rosen’s arresting - prescription 3. Jay Rosen constantly implies that there was something like a conspiracy between Black Studies, American Studies and Women’s Studies to “grab enrollments.” I really cannot blame Mr. Rosen for not guessing the depth of our naivete. For the record, however, I first heard of the failed Amendment when seated in the Senate as it was - truly designed to “grab enrollments.” 4. Finally, the point of the affirmative action component was not to “grab enrollments.” The matter is really a good deal graver than that. For, to reward the main argument, the biases of sex and race and the other social biases which flourish in a climate of prejudgment and unconcern remain very much a part of today’s social reality. We have learned, as in Germany during the last Great War, that a climate of mere unconcern about the weak or the different is nearly as deadly to civilized values as active contempt. We know from domestic experience that group discrimination is apt to breed Us own traditions of irrationality and violence, to degrade public life by rewarding demagoguery and grossness, to seek new victims among the victors. It is also now unexpectedly clear that immersion in neither the humanities nor the natural sciences is a sufficient guarantee for those values, clear that a savage may know his Mozart, that an engineer may test his skills or calculate his profit margins on a crematorium as r.eadily as on a bridge. At this University, the affirmative action component now serves only those most sensitized to the social importance of prejudice and discrimination. It must be extended to engage those less so if decision-making in our society is going to be significantly influenced. An effective affirmative action curriculum would be activated not simply by moral fervor but by reflecting attention to the national interest in maintaining human values and limiting social cost. The nature of that national interest is now evident in international affairs as in national. Access and receptivity to pertinent ideas and data and disciplined reflection on them arc extremely unlikely to be present outside the ambit of the affirmative action component. Keith S.

Backpage Steven Verney . . . Treasurer Managing Editor Denise Stumpo . Art Director Presiden The folio \eing letter has been sent by IRC Jim Paul to University President Robert I. Ketter. , Jay Rosen Business Manager Bill Finkelstein IRC protests -T-" Last Friday, the Office of Vice-president a decision to assign roommates to all resident advisors housed in double rooms. They arrived at this decision in the hopes of alleviating the attrition problem by creating more dormitory space for incoming freshmen. This decision affects all of Governor’s and parts of Ellicott and Main Street where single rooms are unavailable for RA’s, and amounts to a total of 68 spaces. For the price of 68 spaces, to say that this decision will contribute to the already decaying quality of dorm life would be an understatement. Many students count on their RA’s to be available at the spur of the moment.,Mandating that RA’s have roommates precludes the kind of spontaneous counseling which so often takes place between an announced RA and his floor. In addition, a bread confidentiality is sure to occur with phone calls and late night visits to a “doubled” room. How readily will a student knock on his RA’s door in the middle of the night if he knows that he’ll be waking the RA’s roommate too? This is only a magnification ot one of the roles of the resident advisor and the problems which will ensue-jf this decision is allowed to stand, but, by far, it has the potential tor personally affecting individual students more than any other aspect of the decision. It is high time that this university stop thinking in terms of a mass and pay a bit more attention to individual needs. RA’s deserve single rooms, and students deserve to have a fully functioning RA not one who is embittered from the effects of this crude decision.

Self roles. Mr. Chapman makes a very good point in that sufficiency is not to be confused with isolationism. maybe feminism should give way to humanism. The Asking for help certainly does not imply cowardice goals of feminism would be far better served if men or effeminance. When these realizations are made a are freed from their sex roles along with women. But again I must assert that men have a choice and are by great deal of the “macho” facade disappears. Of course this is easier said than done, especially no means forced into a restrictive “machq” role. 1 in the presence of one’s peers. But independence in am firmly convinced that this role is a product of the eyes of one’s peers is a mark of respect for one’s both male and female attitudes.

But those of us uhlike the break from one’s mother. It is difficult to who have the self respect, security, and courage to cast off security and it requires courage. Here again be open, honest, feeling human beings are not confusion may result. Macho braggadocio is a far cry defensive and have no use for a "macho” sex role. from real courage. This is especially important to Mr. Chapman, do not make generalities when so both physical and emotional health. An intelligent, many exceptions exist. Many men resist the secure man does not shrug off injury and “take it pressures of society, as do many women, and, as the like a man.” He has more respect for himself than numbers of these enlightened people increase the sex that.

FOR HAIR Cutout cuts To the Editor A while ago you did an article on “budget” records. 1 would like to express my appreciation for the good effort, however, 1 would like to go into a little more detail. Budgets, also known as cutouts, are records that are decreased in price for the purpose of immediate liquidation. The cause of this falls into two categories. One, the record manufacturers will have an overstock of an album that was not an immediate seller when it was originally released. The second is that either the artist or his record label is not under contract anymore by its major producing company. What follows is a procedure to call back and mark the remaining albums by cutting an edge or putting a hole in the jacket and selling the albums at a bulk reduced price to distributers. This is done by the elimination of artist royalties on their product as well as most of the company’s profit. As one of the principle buyers of cutouts for the Record Coop, 1 would like to defend our bins. Except maybe for Play it Again Sam’s, who in addition deals w in used records, our budget section is better than any other dealer in the city, both price and selection-wise. Our supplier, One Way Records, is one of the faster growing companies in this market on the Fast coast. We try to order based on personal judgement on student buying habits in the Coop ,Our defectives are guaranteed for return, and our quality is just as good as the others. Our only drawback is the limits on the stock we can carry Thank you Carl Cavage and "Bo” Ketter. With the current instability of the regular record market you can expect to see a lot of excellent cutouts in the near future. And 1 can guarantee that as long as the Record Coop is around that the students will have access to the lowest prices and best courtesy regarding these products. Two afterthoughts for you. First, our selection covers Rock, Soul, Disco, Comedy, Blues, etc. all in our major budget section. There is a “new” Jazz Budget section, and Reggae, Soundtracks and classical can be found in with their respective regular priced categories. Finally, don’t think twice When you see a popular artist or group in the cutout bins.

President Anwar Sadat and Prime Minister Menachem Begin have achieved something which the Jews have been waiting for a very long time: peace with Egypt, Egypt may be only one out of- many Arab nations, but it is a beginning, and hopefully the other Arab nations will follow suit in years to come. One cannot forget to mention and praise President Carter for his devotion and efforts in making the peace a reality. Although the people of Israel and Jews all over the world can never forget the past, we can hope and Mr. Lee the past atrocities, humiliation, and degradation will never happen again. The events of this week will help to insure that the Jews around the world can now sit back a bit with the realization that peace and coexistence is happening, and will continue to multiply and grow, and that one day the prophet Isiah’s vision may come true: “They will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears.

Recently, the Faculty Senate voted against University divestment of funds in companies doing business in S. Africa. In a letter to John Roosevelt, the Senate recommended the use of the Sullivan Principles as an alternative to divestment. The UB Committee Against Apartheid rejects the principles for failing to address itself to the fundamental issues: legislated racism, pass laws, detentions without due process, banning act and living conditions. The Sullivan Principles are really only granting “exploitation with dignity.” South Africa is a tempting place for investors since the Apartheid system guarantees the high profits they seek, tfy law the minimum wage for White workers is $2.50 an hour while for non-whites it is only $.17. Even the U.S. companies which have adopted the Sullivan Principles are still not paying equal wages for equal work.. The first princpie calls for equal employment U.S. firms operating in South Africa. The Industrial Consolidation Act, however, defines Whites as employees and Blacks as laborers. Under South African law only employees can join trade unions. Existing Black unions are not recognized by practices by the minority government. Another principle calls for more Blacks in supervisory positions, yet under the Masters and Servants Act, no Black may refuse an order from a White. Further, according to the Job Reservation Law, certain jobs are reserved for Whites only. For example, Blacks cannot be mechanics or electricians. When Rev. Sullivan, the writer of the principles, was asked by Dumasani S. Kumalo, a Black South African journalist, whether or not he was proposing a change in South African laws, he answered that he did not advocate any such alternations in the present laws. No effective gain can be to ensure the civil liberties of Blacks, denied them under the existing system without a fundamental change in the structure of the governing body. The Sullivan Principles also seek to. end the segregation inside and outside the working place. Yet by law. Blacks, Whites and Coloreds must be separated. Homeland Legislation forces 84% of the population onto 13% of the land land which is the - PUrtitrt ISC'S r 110116 02C oSO-iSOJ. most undesirable for agricultural and industrial development. By law, Blacks are not allowed in the cities (reserved for Whites) after sundown. Weekly, hundredss of Blacks are arrested for pass law violations. The Sullivan Principles gives the illusion that Apartheid system can be abolished through mere reforms. This is a sugar coating on a bitter pill. Not only would these principles be ineffectual in combating Apartheid if they could be enacted but they cannot because they come into direct conflict with existing South African laws. Also, there is a contradiction inherent in the Principles in terms of this country’s tradition of self determination. Rev. Sullivan who sits on GM’s Board of Directors denies the Black Majority imput in determining its own future. Major liberation organizations such as the Patriotic Front ZANU and ZAPU, African National Congress of South Africa, Pan African Congress of South Africa. South West African People - Organization (SWAPO) and others, who have gained diplomatic and economic support from the UN, World Council of Churches and others, all favor divestment as a means towards ending the apartheid MARY; I got my rights. KARL: You got nothin'. system. The continuance of oppression in South Africa has been dependent on support from the US, Western Europe and Japan in the form of investment, diplomatic and economic aid from these governments. Since SUNY schools have collectively invested over $7 million in corporations which do business in South Africa, they too ire playing a major role in supporting the government there. Besides, investing in countries which are politically unstable violates SUNY investment policy. Recent events in Iran can be cited as a good example. . Divestment does not mean losing money. These stocks can be reinvested elsewhere. SUNY’s integrity as a university system is built upon strong character and high values such as the idea of academic freedom. If the stocks in a racist and immoral government are not divested, then that character is in danger of coming apart at the seams.

If you've been an avid bar-goer in Buffalo, particularly places such as the Barrelhead, After Dark, Bowinkles or the now defunct He and She’s, and you’ve seen, the powerhouse constants of the local circuit. Talas or tight Years, then you’re more than familiar with the kinetic antics of bassist Bill Sheehan. If you haven’t.. .then you may have missed your chance. My chance came years ago. I was underage, smuggled into the confines of the now non-existent Laurel and Hardy’s, where I saw the three-man configuration of Talas (guitarist Dave Constantino and drummer Paul Varga along with Sheehan) doing a great cover of Mott the Hoople’s “Ready For Love.” The band was amazing, only a trio, Ccitctying Klavjs able to transform compositions multi-instrument solid into arrangements. The shorter Constantino struck an almost Mutt and Jeff contrast to Sheehan, who was always high above the audience as he rocked feverishly upon his platform boots (not a common sight at this point). Both Sheehan and Varga monitored their activity through headphones. Some fans wore Sheehan buttons. Others had Talas bumper stickers plastered upon their cars. Talas’ unique qualities and vibrant stage presence created a scene wfth their local clientele. Sheehan’s unique style of bass playing was what placed him far above the majority of, local musicians hammering out the local bar scene. Breaking all conventions applied to bass playing; those of laid back beat and steady rhythm only, soon dissolved as Sheehan matured. He often confessed that his style came out of being restless with the straight-on-approach most often imposed on the instrument Soon fans witnessed a high energy player a visual -maniac emerge from Sheehan. He would often pun€h notes, manipulating the bass like a percussion instrument with two hands skipping and skating across the fretboard. Plugged into stacks of amplification, Sheehan could produce sounds by prodding and vibrating the body of his guitar, almost trying to convince It to do things it was physically incapable of doing. His playing developed into a weird blend of strong rhythm application and melodic expansion, the major reason why Talas was able to do compositions by bands such as King Crimson, Kansas and Peter Gabriel as well as Montrose and Nugent. His style crossed Jimi Hendrix (visually) with Jaco Pastorius (skillfully). Soon audiences talked, rumors flew and offers came. Jethro Tull did not offer him a position but Billion Dollar Babies (Alice Cooper’s old band that he released) did. Sheehan passed up the offer out of fear that the Billion Dollar Babies seemed too unstable. Hij hunches were correct, their first and only album bombed, and the group soon dissolved (releasing guitarist Mike Marconi who later joined Talas). , r i Talas, Sheehan left -r Eventually piece. a our w ic expan Soon after this an offer came the down, this time from outfit Max Canadian rock Webster.

A&M records sponsored this bash which included food not of a culinary delight of a stomach’s delight. It was a lot of fun and no one was obnoxious to me so my food digested rather well The party was thrown for the New Wave/reggae/rock band, the Police, but I liked the opening band, The Romantics, better. While both bands are good bands in the sense that they rock without many mistakes, are young and energetic, and pose melodies that are listenable and hummable, both have their problems. The Romantics were surprising the pop band from Detroit seem a regular throwback to the '60s English influenced American rock, almost like the local band, The Jumpers but without rough edges. The Jumpers are fine with their inaccuracies since those are usually hidden by energy. But The Romantics have polish along with energy much like ’60s bands like the Buckinghams, the Hollies or Harper’s Bizarre. Their ballad “Cary" a single on Bomp records was well-performed and got a lot of folks to moving and jittering dances in their seats. The four-man band’s harmonies stir up a pleasant sound but for their pop melodies, they sometimes play out of their range. I mean, when you think a note should be given a soprano treatment, it’s given an alto by the lead singer. Still, even a bunch of drunks can sound good when they harmonize, and the Romantics aren’t; they sing good rock 'n' roll together. I suppose this is what the Beatles have spawned; the emulation is sure such. The Police told, them all about their childhood in a five-minute song which is no small feat, which is hip, always hip, since it's nostalgia.

Reed: tioo-Doo' writing About 20 years ago Ishmael Reed, writer, left Buffalo the Buffalo of the East side Talbert Mall Projects and the University of Buffalo, to seek his vision in New York. Running around New York during the formative years of a. new black literati, Reed came across the works of such notables as Baraka and Baldwin and supported the work of the then struggling Umbra group. Through it all, Reed felt something to be missing, so he wrote. Basically, he wanted folks to see our culture for the syncretic creature it is; syncretic in the sense that varioXis cultures participate in the evolution of a multi-cultural art. And it is participation not “integration” that makes an art syncretic and strong. Briefly, that is what all the "hoo-doo" about Reed is - his essays with extensive references, not the kind that need six footnotes a piece but ones he thinks you should have read, or at least know about it you are going to talk reasonably. Among the essays that sparkle in this collection are the ones on Haitf and the rise of the official black aesthetic. Haiti has long been the black eye of the Carribean. Like the briar patch it is the one place tar babies are supposed to be glad they aren’t. What Reed saw when he went there was a strongly willed people, one aware of their history and what’s more, comfortable with it.

Schuyler and Chester Hines, writers who had no particular black aesthetic protecting whatever they Bread and Chocolate Hoo-Dooism and is glad to see it alive and thriving. On poverty, he does see it, but it is a “clean poverty” as opposed to the “welfare ...that arsenic of the milk of liberal kindness” that exists here. For a downtrodden people they seem mighty lively. On the official black aesthetic, he talks about the peculiar affectation within the established white wrote. Reed speaks from a "Hoo-Doo Aesthetic,” an literary machine for the black writer.

Virtually all recent been commercial hits have non-cerebral basically entertainment including such smashes as Star Wars, Rocky, Superman and Animal House. Produced by Michael Douglas (who also stars), The China Syndrome explodes the myth that a Hollywood film can’t be both entertaining and socially significant. It rips at the heart of the dangers surrounding a nuclear power plant while providing an script exciting and tense combining taut 'drama, gripping emotions and compelling action. Newswoman Kimberly Wells (Jane Fonda) and cameraman Richard Adams (Douglas) form a Southern California fluff news team . more accustomed to covering antics of monkeys at the zoo than to probing deeply into substantive matters. Conducting a series on the local nuclear power plant, California Gas and Electric, they stand in the visitors’ room overlooking the plant control room when they suddenly feel a tremor. Workers in the control room scurry about as they try to find the cause of what at first appears to be a minor problem. Concern turns to near panic as the crew and shift supervisor Godell (Jack Lemmon) are unable to prevent what threatens to be nuclear disaster. Hot on the trail Realizing they have a headlining scoop on their hands, Wells and Adams rush back to their station only to be told by the general manager that the news is simply too hot to handle and that, if aired, the station risks a suit by the power plant. Unable to accept the shelving of their story nor CG&E’s public statement that investigative reporters set out to discover what really happened. And what really happened is slowly being discovered by Godell, aware of the serious and threatening implications of the incident. As Godell becomes increasingly aware of dangerous flaws in the construction of the plant and of the hazards involved in its continued operation, he closely allies himself with Wells and Adams. And the three become entangled in a chilling battle with the corporation’s executives desperately attempting to keep a lid on this explosive story. What is so remarkable about The China Syndrome is that it so craftfully combines entertainment with a social conscience. The movie peers not only into the well known hazards of nuclear power, but offers a piercing look at the decision-making process of the corporate executives who choose to risk millions of lives in lieu of spending millions of dollars. It is the depiction of corporate ecological callousness and decimation woven neatly together that make The China Syndrone a special event. Wide range James Bridge's (The Paper Chase) direction is superb. Bridges who rewrote Michael Gray’s original script successfully avoids getting entangled in useless subplots or unessential sexual encounters, concentrating instead on drawing together the many facets of the drama into a tightly strung, moving conclusion. The acting ranges from adequate to superb. Jack Lemmon is simply outstanding as the tense troubled supervisor. shift Lemmon’s are displayed emotions so powerfully that we are drawn into his trauma and feel passionately for him. Jane Fonda is excellent as the naive but ambitious reporter far over her head in crisis. Michael Douglas is adequate. The China Syndrome is proliferated not only with faceless 'corporations environmental disasters, but also considers the dilemma faced by journalists who must decide whether or not to unfold a v potentially damaging story or to buckle under lh£ pressure of powerful influences. The depiction of the story hungry newswoman being muted by her frightened superior provides a sharp insight into the state of big money American journalism. This is a film unafraid of making a statement. As supporters of film, we too, should be equally unafraid. — — ' Qtanada TAKE DOWN / (PG) Evenings 7 & 9 Sat. 1,3, 5, 7,9 Sun. 5, 7, 9 $1.50 till 3:30 3176 Main Street .at Winspear 1 Block - 833-1331 So of UB ; �■o < 'The Passage' -X» VJ I7IES t) I « World War II flick which should tak itself to death Films depicting the Second World War have been presented by filmmakers virtually since the outbreak of that war. Americans have seen countless portrayals of the war and its participants; some exciting, realistic and most and exploitive. propaganda Flowever, never has there been inane and brutal such an characterization of a Nazi officer as the SS Lieutenant (Malcolm McDowell) pictured in the new movie The Passage a potentially exciting film literally transformed into a bloody mess. The Passage refers to the route to freedom out of Nazi occupied France for Professor Bergson (James Mason) and his family. Apparently, the professor is being pursued by the crazed SS officer because he wrote a series of essays condemning the Nazi regime. To get to Britain, Bergson and his family must first cross the Pyrenees, a huge mountain range in the south of France, led by a man simply called The Basque (Anthony Quinn). The plot has rather than but potential, developing the story, director J. Lee Thompson fills the screen with unnecessary 1 violence. Before the film has ended, the Basque and the Bergsons have littered the screen with German blood, and the SS officer has sadistically tortured and murdered countless — more. The ridiculous nature of The Passage is best evidenced in its ending where the heroes actually talk the Nazi to death. and into theater. Considering the director Thompson has, in the past, made exciting and enjoyable World War II adventures (Guns of Navarone for one), The Passage is a great Creates problems Problems with The Passage are obvious from the start. One vital question barely explained in the film is why would the French resistance’ sacrifice many decent freedom fighters for the survival of a writer. The answer lies in the film's opening minutes when it is quickly uttered that Bergson is a scientist whom the Nazis might use to create diabolical weapons. It is an important fact too briefly only one problem mentioned — that screen writer Bruce Nicolaysen (also author of the book The Passage is based on) creates in the film. Nicolaysen’s SS officer is undoubtedly the nonsensical, insane and inane character ever created for World War II movies. Sadistic, violent and obviously crazy, the most audience has no idea why he is that way. Is he insane because he is an SS officer or is he an SS officer because he is insane? The dilemma is not even explored. More likely, the SS officer is insane and sadistic because it is a good way to bring an inordinate amount of violence into The poignant moment, Thompson loudly plays music that is unbearably sentimental signalling - F"" ' .

Television, once Hollywood's major competitor and menace, has become a major source of strength and security. In the late fifties and early sixties, studio moguls introduced sex, more frequent use of color, and cinemascope to lure audiences away from their tubes and back into their the theaters. They succeeded only in undercutting the quality of own productions, turning them into exhibitions of purience and technical .gymnastics. As TV improved and the movies degraded, people stayed away from their local Bijou in droves. But Hollywood did not collapse; it capitulated. By the end of the sixties, a powerful symbiotic relationship had developed. Movie studios went into the business of producing television series and made-for-TV movies, while the three networks bought box-office smashes. Think of how much money was paid for broadcasting Gone With The Wind, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Rocky, American Graffiti and The Sting. Still, ticket sales are Hollywood’s staple: the networks aren’t going to spend millions on a film that bombed at tff*"box office. Network TV is funded by advertising revenue and thus depends on huge audiences, audiences which will tune in for a two-hour movie only if it’s something they’ve been wanting to see, something a lot of their friends have seen. And since the movie-going public will absorb only so many low-budget hits, the polish of productions must be maintained, requiring huge sums of money. In short, Hollywood must have a lot of Teat pnflecros “UffointhoFoodchain." A production of Full Moon Records, bn Epic Records and Tapes. Produced by RobFraboni (ft .re trademarks of CBS Inc.

The survival of the American film industry hinges on the initial investment In the sixties, this capital came from the conglomerates which came to own the studios, but tax law changes in 1970 choked off this investment source, losing the industry $200 million. By using the movies as tax shelters, Hollywood reconstructed itself, attracting hilf a billion dollars before Gerald Ford’s 1976 Tax .Reform Act closed off this financial spigot. Today, the future of movies is uncertain. Fewer films are being made, studios are reaching for a small number of super-grossing films like The Godfather, Jaws and Star Wars. Theaters are closing again, not because of smaller audiences movie attendance, but because there aren’t enough films to show. More in fact, is up 'films are being produced in Canada and England where conditions are more favorable, threatening, for the first time, to drain talent and resources oy t of the United States. Still, there’s no need to start drafting Hollywood’s obituary. Hollywood has saved itself from extinction twice already, proving its resiliance. TV may be the saviour of commercial film not broadcast TV but what is more appropriately called video: cable, pay-TV, video cassettes and discs, and large video projection screens. Home Box Office is already pumping new dollars into the industry and since it operates on subscriptions rather than advertising, even box-office flops can be rescued. Plans are now being drawn for marketing of video cassettes and discs of films after they’ve had their run in the theaters. With large video screens, this could attract many buyers, and at $10-20 -per tape, this could .amount to a monumental amount of revenue. Furthermore, it is doubtful that this business would cyt into ticket sales because the environment of a theater wilf never be cheaply reproduced in the home, the tapes will not be available until the movie is old news, and because ticket prices will always be lower than the cost 4 of a cassette. ■TV, which has often been blamed for ruining the film industry, is shaping up as its' primary source of nourishment Broadcast TV now provides sustenance for Hollywood but only on the condition that it produces hits itself. But soon, TV will be making those hits possible to begin with. The so-called '“video revolution" may very well make Hollywood the healthiest it’s been since the Golden Age of the 1940’s, proving once again that despite what television has been in the past, it will prpbably be of great value in the future. —Ross Chapman - — — From March 29-Aprii 1, the UB Theater Department will present,two play's by Franz Kroetz: AWch/'s Blood and Farmyard The time Is 8 p.m. and tickets are now on sale at Squire Ticket Office. , Poets Ron Padgett and Dick Gallup will read this Friday, March 30 at the Allentown Community Center as part of the ."Just Buffalo" series.

He suggested departments could be urged to adopt quality General Education courses by making inclusion in the General Education Program hinge on these along with the lure of courses increased enrollments. Hochfield admitted that creating a program of the type he envisioned one examining the “quality , of mind” and thought process behind concepts would be more difficult to institute. It would, he said, require new courses and a new kind of teaching. “It would ask a professor to step out of his traditional role,” he said.

Significant loss that the notion of exposing students to a large amounts to introductry courses is “pointless.” A student should have the latitude to explore any area that interests him outside his major in greater number of whqt depth, he said. Springer said that to achieve meaningful courses, teachers would have to be dedicated to teaching them. “This program,” he said, “loses the lever to upgrade teaching performance by providing a captive'audience.” But despite i(s possible shortcomings, Peradotto said that the program showed its endurance, especially considering that it was “chewed over by iidealists who haven’t taken the time to do their homework at one end and by bloody-minded FTE (enrollment) counters at the other,.” Despite his criticism, Hochfield Baker’s belief that the program will improve with time. “He sees beyond the first step (the course requirements among the general knowledge areas)” Hochfield said, “he foresees that the departments-will do it.” But Hochfield tautioned that Baker’s will leave the Committee when his term expires April 1, a loss HochfiehHermed “significant.” recognized �Gen Ed debate ends place one’s self inside the world of the other, to .unlock the filing system and expose its contents to the student. “And when it is seen, believe me, the world tilts for that student,” he observed. “That person is, to a degree, from that day forward, somewhat liberated. “There is nothing in the study of foreign language that does that.” Dean Peradotto, who had strongly maintained just the opposite through the months of committee deliberations and the Senate debate, sat motionless through Gearing’s oration, never glancing up from his lap-held clipboard. He did not respond to what was the deepest stab into the requirement’s academic validity heard in the Senate. Committee Chairman Baker then gave for the first time, his personal view on the requirement, noting that it received the “weakest mandate” of any part of the plan in faculty and student surveys and in the Committee vote (9-8 in favor). Plea for compromise that capacity the to understand another culture comes from a change in a student’s attitudes and perspectives on foreign worlds. Baker argued that cross-cultural study belongs not as one of the six knowledge areas, but as an intellectual theme to be developed Stressing to -continued from University the * page 1 > if ,he language is put in.” And finally, after hours of many arguments and cross-arguments, charges and rebuttals, the Senate passed a motion on the foreign langauge requirement 33-27, adding “cross cultural study" and freeing students from the mandate to take requirement language courses. Stunning attack The Senate then voted to “rise and report from its “Committee of the whole” structure that had enabled the report to be amended more smoothly. The motion on the floor became Baker’s motion to accept the report, which he had offered at earlier. When the first meeting two weeks Hnglish Professor George Hochfield approached the microphone, few Senators let alone Garver or Baker were prepared for what followed Hochfield, in a suddenly-unleashed and boldly-worded attack on the Committee’s work, predicted that the General education program will add up to nothing — - when it is implemented. Quoting a passage of a preliminary Gen Ed report authored by English Professor Murray Schwartz, Hochfield reminded the Senate that “a superficial return to distribution requirements is the most —DIVIncen/o Chairman Newton Carver and Norman Baker Facing the parliamentary rigors of a crucial debate Taking courses, reading textbooks - that’s for them.” Hochfield left no doubts about his pessimism over the Gen Ed program, and he was just as sure of the effect his remarks would have. “I don’t think there’s any hope of deflecting the adoption of this report, all I can hope to do is to get you thinking," he told the Senate. While a pocket of students opposed to General Education applauded wildly, joined by a few sympathetic faculty, Chairman immediately Garver acknowldeged Baker, expressionless through who had sat Hochfield’s lengthy attack. “I’d like to thank Professor Hochfield,” Baker snapped, “for the most masterful piece of misrepresentation that has been performed in the Faculty Senate.” More applause. This time from supporters of the plan. Come back in Fall Baker, bridling his anger, stressed that the 13 required courses in six knowledge areas are merely a fr; mework to build upon and that the development of thtmes and intellectual principles, along with the basic skills component in writing and mathematics, will address all of Hochfield’s English Professor Max Wickart objections. “If he can still make the same speech in the Fall (when the committee reports back to the Senate], then we will lave failed,” The face; of a Senate debate A wait-and-see attitude remains The debate's most vocal participant across the other five groupings. He got almost no support for that idea. At this point, Warner stood to issue his plea for a compromise. Calling the “Cross-cultural studies and foreign languages” “creative amendment a crompromise,” Warner urged Senators to “think of those people who have lost votes and draw them into this proposal.” Just before the vote on the compromise measure, Modern Languages Chairman Kdward Dudley informed the Senators that his department does not now tailor its curriculum to the general student body because most enrollees are interested in gaining fluency in a language. “Obviously,” Dudley said, “we would shift our emphasis and the service we offer feeble attempt at General education.” The Gen Ed plan’s six knowledge areas and course requirements in those areas are almost identical to the University’s 1969 requirements, he charged. Baker concluded. A few speakers later, Robert Springer, the plan’s most vocal critic since he resigned from the Committee two months ago, got up to add to Hochfield’s remarks striking up a politically ironic alliance Engineering between English and - Outside the world “The fragmentation of undergraduate education, that has been the defect of undergraduate education for all these years, has not been solved,” Hochfield said. Speaking slowly but insistently, he claimed that undergraduates here are given not even an introduction to modern thought. Students are left outside, Hochfield said. “They don’t think they belong to the world of thought. Professors do it; Television commentators do it. professors. Springer predicted that subsequent phases will “look a lot like Phase I” (the knowledge areas) and emphasized that the program needt ‘‘a lot more consideration, a lot more thoughtful consideration.” He recommended that the report be sent back to the committee. English Professor Max Wickert, who probably logged more minutes speaking time throughout the debate than any other Senator, wove a few of his personal fantasies about Gen Ed for the audience before warning that “much as we would like to say at the conclusion of this debate that ‘we've got General Education’ we don’t have General Education. What we have is a start, and we’ll be with it for the next three or four years.” Michaelangelo arrives Wickert’s speech hinted at a key factor in the closing hours of the debate fatigue The general feeling late Tuesday afternoon was that the Senate had gone through so much work and exhausted the arguments on so many issues, that there was no logical choice but to accept the report, with its defects, and set the committee to work on the specifics. Hochfield’s stunning Nevertheless, attack Released the dramatists hiding in Woldman Theater, as anecdotes about Michaelangelo and quotations from Henry David Thoreau crept into the debate. Here the Senate, helped along by Garver, began to develop an impatience to vote on final approval. - Garver’s a effectiveness as parliamentarian showed clearly in the final meeting, as he sped the Senate to a final vote and still was able to accomodate nearly all raised hands. But before the Senate was able to vote on the entire report came, appropriately enough, Murdoch’s final shot at removing the foreign language, requirement. The Senate voted to keep Murdoch’s proposal off the floor, by a 33-14 margin. But more than one Senator noted that 33 and 14 add up to 47. And a quorum is 50. As the fear that a lack of a quorum would kill the report crept through the Senators who had paid strict attention, pulled Garver perhaps his slickest parliamentary move of the debate. “The chair believes that there were abstentions,” he said, with the slightest of intruding onto his normally steely-straight face.

New York’s neighbor, Massachusetts will raise its minimum drinking age to 20 next month Zimmer said the other New Michigan England raising states are considering their drinking ages. Thomas Costello, a member of Vermont House of the Representatives, said the New England Legislative Caucus, which consists of ail legislators from the six New England states, has to formed a subcommittee advocate a ‘‘uniform” drinking age. This means that Rhode New Island, Connecticut, Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and Maine would work together to establish a uniforn\ drinking age to discourage border-crossing excursions for alcohol. Across the border All of the New England states, except Maine and Massachusetts, allow consumption of alcoholic beverages at 18. Quebec and Ontario, the Canadian provinces along the New York border, also have a legal drinking age of 18. “When New Jersey-lowered their drinking age to match New York’s,” Costello said, “there appeared to be a decrease in the number of auto fatalities on the highways.” “But,” Costello said, “the caucus is only interested in the uniformity question. We believe the age decisions should be left entirely up to the individual have a public Edward Fludd. information analyst for the DMV, “Until said, proven it’s conclusively in a study conducted by us, 1 would say there is no reason to change the drinking age,” noting that he could not speak for the Department. He said that he thought DMV would most likely support such legislation. Fludd added that 18 tc 25-year-olds have more accidents “?or whatever reason.” ' Taverns “The percentage of accidents goes up to a point and stays there statistically to age 25 and then falls off,” Fludd said. Leonard Freelander, counsel of the New York Restaurant and Liquor Dealers Association, also believes there is no “reason to the change law.” Freelander believcs.new legislation will create more harm than good because of 18 to 20-year-olds trying to beverages alcoholic obtain illegally "We would be creating a minor prohibition act,” he said, “and we know the pitfalls of that.” Freelander, whose organization is a trade association for hotels, restaurants and taverns, couldn’t give any financial figures on how much business they may lose if this law is passed. According recently to a published article by the American different — — NEED A RIDE? ‘The Spectrum’s' Ride Board it the place to get it. $1.50/ten words 355 Squire Hall 8:30-8:30 M,T,W,F 8:30-5 Th 12-4 Saturday ... limit.” for drinking,” Zimmer said, “and regardless of the argument that people will drink in cars they drink in cars now states that have an 18-year-old limit Prisons.. —continued 5 continuously higher a fatality rate for 18 to 20-year-olds than states with a 20-year-old age age .— page have states.” Pennsylvania, Zimmer said which permits drinking at age 21, always had the problem of people crossing into New York for drinks. “Several times they refused to lower the age limit,” Zimmer said, “and their rates for auto fatalities for the 18 to 20-year-old category are far below the states that have an 1 8-year-old drinking age.” “Regardless of whether bordering states —continued from Business Research Men’s owners in bar Foundation, Michigan will lose an estimated $10 million due to its new drinking law. A student from Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, said the increase in the drinking age there has not had much effect on the tavern business. “Basically, there has not been that much compliance,” he said. According to the student, taverns are still serving 18 to for economic 20-year-olds survival. The faction which will probably be the most upset with the proposed legislation is the thousands of 18 to 20-year-olds who are used to the comfortable surroundings of a tavern to have a drink “If me somebody told tomorrow 1 couldn’t drink in a bar, I would really resent it," said Roberta Miletello, a 19-year-old student at the State University of New York at Albany. “I feel I’m responsible enough to handle alcohol. There are a lot of 18 and 19-year-olds who can handle the responsibility. There are a lot of 40-year-olds who can't. Why not do something about the real drivers problem of drunken instead?” Zimmer admits the drunken driver is a serious problem that must be dealt with. His office has information from requested Scandinavian countries that have very harsh penalties for drunken driving offenses. “We are committed to looking at the entire problem of alcohol abuse and not just the one category of 18 to 20-year-olds," Zimmer said “1 don’t think it (raising the drinking age) will slow down the amount of alcohol flowing to high school students that much,” said Ken , Scallon, educational coordinator for the Rensselaer County Alcohol Center. “Perhaps a little bit,” he said. Scallon said there are basic behavorial and social problems which lead teenagers to drink in the first place “Frankly speaking,” Scallon said, “we can’t enforce the laws now.” He said a nationwide study claims the chances of being caught while driving drunk are 1 out of 1400. Is drinking a constitutional right? Is it discrimination to deny those under 21 who vote for government representatives and the right to drink fight in wars alcohol? “Yes” both counts, according to the 1 Michigan Committee for the Age of claimed Responsibility, which that Michigan’s new law violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. — - Constitution. U.S. District Ralph Guy ruled Court Judge the State did have the power to establish Michigan’s legal minimum drinking age at 21, while granting other rights and privileges at'18. “You can’t refute the statistics.” Zimmer said. “We’re beginning to see the tremendous amount of alcoholic abuse in the schools, the commotion it causes, and the deaths on the highways. If the state acts to set the drinking age at 21, it will save lives.” from page 4 .

One Ideal judge, who supposedly like to give penniless prisoners probation only on the condition of unobtainable $10 bail, is "particularly a pain in the ass said the lieutenant. California, commonly a leader of social change, is allowing an increasing number of criminals to go even first offense felons free on parole (an annual social expense of $700) instead of incarcerating them (a yearly bill of about $13,000). The California - — system has not, however, reduced the crime rate. While it seems obvious that the problems in the prison system can be traced to the wildly .stratified U S. economic structure, no criminologist has come up with an across-the-board reform designed to rehabilitate criminals. Instead, the prevailing thought in prison reform is more and more society reform.

Said Stern, “I work for SASU (Student Association of State University) and I see other schools that are not apathetic.

Bergstein: “1 agree with General Education; it can be enlightening for students if it’s done right.

Staff Writer Strapped by a lack of resources often attacked as merely self-serving factions, the Thud World and Women’s Caucuses of SASU are still struggling for recognition after four years. ‘‘Many people ignore the last 200 years of historical prejudice, and the fact that the bureaucratic setup is structured to favor some over others. We must change bureaucracy to change the law,” Allinger, Steve SASU says (Student Association of the State University) president, in justification of the Caucuses. While many SASU delegates believe that the two Caucuses are necessary in order to equalize an social and student JUJU St / and Capital concerns Needed to smooth out the current difficulties is an increase in financial assistance, according to several delegates.

This way, women on all SUNY campuses could work towards a single goal at a given time, increasing the chances of Women's real fear of diverse opinions.” Larry Falkin, Binghamton SA president, decleared that, “because of certain self-centered personalities, dedication and workability has declined.” Hastrick remarked that defensive attitudes of Caucus members often serve to destroy what little they have developed. Chairperson for Third World Caucus Victor Olivera told The Spectrum that the Caucus is presently stagnating due to inner and outer conflicts. “I plan to to change the Caucus name something which is less apt to provoke controversy," Olivera Albany State University said. (ASUBA) Black Alliance Tred Barryhill, co-chairman, reinforced the view that members’ racial defensiveness hinders the Caucus’ image as a unified whole. i Caucuses combined support 20 or one-fourth of the total SASU votes. Buffalo State student government president Michael McCormick informed The Spectrum that one of the reasons his school resigned from SASU of the Caucuses’ was because “The Caucus voting powers. by delegates are not chosen election, but become delegates simply by being interested,” he said. “Kven more serious is the fact that the delegates are not chosen in proportion to a school’s total population.

QiilNf S-Sf PAMAff PuRtHASi �s Hard working UB coaches also carry full course load i 0. sports by Carlos Vallarino A ssislanl Sports Editor Certain names are invariably associated with their positions. At UB, the name Bill Dando means “football coach;” the name Ed Wright goes with hockey, and so on. But perhaps going all too unnoticed is the fact that these coaches and their colleagues work primarily as class instructors through the department of Recreation, Athletics and Related Instruction (RARI). “They’re hired as teachers, not coaches noted Salvatore Esposito partment’s Assistant Dean. “Coaching a team is their secondary responsibility.” Esposito explained that when the department has an opening, the procedure is to form a search committee whose task is to find the top five candidates available for the position. The committee consists mostly of faculty, but sometimes includes players. “That’s what happened last year,” recounted Esposito. “When we were looking for a new basketball coach, some of the players from the team joined the search committee.” Physical Education, or one very nearly completed, is a prerequisite for joining the RAR1 faculty. Furthermore, the candidates must have experience in the area that they would be required to instruct and/or coach. Once the five most suitable persons are interviewed they are rated by each committee member from one to five, and the findings are submitted along with each candidate’s to credentials, Esposito, who then chooses the best'qualified applicant for the “I am a professional wrestling coach,” Ed Michael said. “And in the area of judo which is a form of combative wrestling I hold a — / - brown belt (Ikkyu).” Another whose teaching area is related to his coaching field is hockey coach Ed Wright, but he argues that he has been assigned to instruct Speedball & Floor Hockey, Jogging & Conditioning and Beginning Ice Skating simply because he has had a hand in creating these course}. “When I first came to this university, about nine years ago, these courses didn’t even exist,” stated Wright arguing that his post as hockey coach has not influenced his job. Same channels Esposito through went the channels to come “When 1 was hired, same to Buffalo. they were looking for someone to teach certain courses who at the same time had a soccer background,” he related. “And I fit the bill, so 1 was hired.” Not everyone fits the bill, though. A Master’s degree in teaching assignments Close association In exploring the relationship between coaching and instructing, one opinion seemed to unanimously find its way to the interviewees’ mouths “Coaching and teaching are synonymous,” said Bill Monkarsh, baseball coach and director of intramurals and recreation. “If you’re a good coach, you’re a good teacher,” the expert in racquet sports added. Most RAR1 instructors split their time between evenly teaching and coaching (when their respective sports are in season, of course), and they are paid in accordance. In the off-season, a coach devotes most of his/her. time to instruction, with such - responsibilities recruiting as occupying the remainder. So anyone who ever thought that the only prerequisite for becoming a coach was being a good Grapplers need your help jock should think twice an available position.

The UB Rugby Club, the Mad Turtles, overwhelmed host Hobart College on Saturday, 30-4, in the opening game between the two schools. In other competition, Hobart’s B squad trampled the Turtles, 14-3, in a bruising contest; and, in an unscheduled event, UB whitewashed a hard hitting Finger Lakes team, 21-0. The “A” assemblage broke through early in the match, grabbing a quick 6-0 lead when winger Scott Masse slipped in for a try (goal) and booster Joe Kalczynski converted the subsequent kick. The Mad ones exhibited fine defense for the remainder of the half, keeping Hobart pinned in their end. The offense was not as effective, but still managed to tally again. Scrum half Bob Monahan increased UB’s margin to 13-0 with a late try. At the opening of the complementary (second) half, a brief altercation resulted in the ejection of UB forward Dave Peet. who was third man in. Feet’s dismissal forced the Turtles to play shorthanded for the rest of the game. But the scuffle had a positive side, as well it seemed to spark the UB group. Before the final whistle sounded, the Turtle team added three trys and a total of 1 7 points. The scoring barrage was begun by forward Paul McCarthy, who took a well-thrown pass from fellow “scrummer” John Lanahan and sprinted into the end zone. Barely minutes later, Lanahan again found himself in the end zone, his second try fueling a 23-0 Turtle bulge. The final UB tally was obtained by hard running Brian Eccles, his first try of the season. The Hobart Orangemen were not to be outdone, though, and rebounded in the “B” contest, scoring early and keeping the pressure on the UB side. The Turtles’ running game was not at full strength in the second half, as injuries forced three backfield players to shower prematurely, but a penalty kick by Tom Siaha averted a shutout. Monahan’s third try of the day led the UB team to an easy victory over Finger Lakes in the afternoon’s closing event. Dan Harrington and fly half Pat Doyle also contributed scores Harrington’s coming as the result of a 30-yard run. — The Mad Turtles will play Niagara University Ellicott Field.

However, it wasn't until the meet’s fourth game that the Royals were able to get the ball rolling. Leading by only 32 after three games, Buffalo coach Jane Poland had good reason to worry. “Conditions were poor because there was oil on the lanes,” complained Poland. “They (the lanes) were not good for top-notch bowling.” Whatever the problem was during the first three games was quickly remedied in the next set. .Jhe slim margin suddenly blossomed into a 464 pin gap when the UB aces, Sue Fulton and Terry Strassel, began to pick up their games. “Good old steady Sue.” as Poland affectionately refers to her, fired a team leading 1618 pins for a solid 179 average. For Fulton, it won’t be the first time she plays for all the marbles. In two years at Buffalo, she has helped her team to attain national recogoition by not only, being an integral part of the team but as an individually reknowned bowler. “Steddy Sue” will be leaving her mark in Tucson, Arizona next week in the National Individual Competition. finals, the .bowling Squire.

Strassel and Erie Community transfer Gail Simmons have both played important roles throughout the year, “Strassel has worked vety hard to get into the first team,” Poland offered. “She scored second in Boston, which was the highlight of her career. She has very good concentration and has greatly improved her confidence “Simmons has had experience in the nationals and I'm looking forward to her return next year," Poland said about the budding junior. In Boston, Simmons hit lor a very respectable 1483 pirrs in the been nine-game series. Number one bowler Fulton’s teammate for two years at Buffalo, and for two prior years at Erie Community College, is equally talented and has professional aspirations. Cindy Coburn, daughter of seasoned pro Doris Coburn, has received a great deal of attention for her remarkable 211 average in non-collegiate league participation. That mark, established during the 1976-77 season, placed the UB senior’s average atop the entire list of 4.2 million women bowlers registered in the United States. Furthermore, her achievements match or better that of aH but 17 professional men have been receivin their share of publicity. As of this week they are ranked fifth in the nation behind Hillsborough College of Florida.

Overall, only 17 professional American bowlers (all men) can boast a higher average than Coburn s. bowlers. Coburn had a disappointing outing in Boston, though, but she figures to be a vital force in the nationals. As a point of interest, when Cindy goes to Milwaukee with the Royals next month, she’ll receive an opportunity to visit the women’s bowling Hall of Fame, where her mother’s portrait hangs as a memento of her enshrinement. UB’s bowling success can almost be pinpointed to be a result of Coburn and BEST WOMAN BOWLER IN THE U.S.? This is Anyone interested in forming Basketball Cheerleaders please contact Gary Devin, Athletic Affairs ~ at SA Office. Please contact by April 2nd. Although ill during the sectionals, Mary Ann Buboltz also has pitched in well for the Buffalo rollers. "Last year she was our most improved bowler,” Poland stated. “She has a beautiful swing and great timing.” To fill in the month-long gap between now and the April 26 Nationals, Poland will have the Royals practicing as well as giving them time to catch up on their classwork. Also, a possibility exists that the Erie Community bowlers will square off with UB in a Cable TV duel sometime in April. That would give the women a chance to play before the bright lights and cameras they will be under should they make the final round of the Nationals.

Ketler is still leafing through the responses to his request for advice on who should control undergraduate education in Health Sciences, with no word on when he expects to finally decide the long-running dispute. Vice President for Health Sciences F., Carter Pannill and Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn, were stymied last December by an outraged opposition in their attempt to shift control away from DUE Dean John Peradotto and into Pannill's office. Bunn and Pannill then proposed a new “council” to act as a bridge between Health Sciences and Academic Affairs and thus remove the need for Peradotto to administer programs that Pannill feels are his territory. Academic responses support traditional dominion of DUE Dean Dean is against But student officials and the Faculty Senate objected vigorously to that idea, which they felt would split the Undergraduate division and strip Peradotto of most of his authority. The Dean, of course, is strongly against the Bunn/Pannill plan, but has withheld public comment until Ketter’s decision. Both the Faculty Senate and Student Association have sent Ketter strongly-worded papers detailing their objections to the Council idea, with SA's suggesting that the University may have to return to the prior administrative arrangement, where the DUE Dean reports directly to the President. Although it could not be determined Wednesday who the drafters of the three positive responses were, various administrative sources said that all three were from constituencies that have a relatively minor interest in the DUE Dean issue Computing Services, for example. - Line authority Assistant to the President Harry Jackson said he had no idea when Ketter would come to a decision; but he did note that some of the responses were “rather lengthy." The twenty responses that note various alternatives to the Bunn/Pannill plan are a significant show of support for Peradotlo, who has said that he accepted the job last summer under the assumption that he would have authority over all undergraduate programs. Bunn and Pannill have contended that their proposal would place administrative responsibility in Health Sciences and Academic Affairs where it rightly belongs under the authority of the two academicvice presidents respectively. This principle, called “line authority." has formed the core of Bunn and Pannill's stand. - Gen Ed report accepted despite compelling critique The Faculty Senate concluded three weeks of debate on the General Education From there, the Senate debated the gist of Hochfield's remarks, with speakers divided about evenly. Engineering Professor Robert Springer said he agreed with most of Hochfield’s sentiments and that he resigned from the Gen Ed deep, committee because of many philosophical disagreements with the committee. English Professor Thomas Connolly took exception with his colleague, praising the committee’s months of work. In the end, Hochfield’s attack didn’t change much, as the report was approved by a healthy margin about six Senators voting against and about half of that ah'Staining. After two hours of earlier debate, the program Tuesday and solidly accepted the Committee report; but not before English Professor .George Hochfield launched a passionately-worded attack on the validity of the entire plan. , - In accepting the Gen Ed Committee report, the Senate had earlier ammended the document to dilute the controversial foreign language requirement. The requirement was changed to include courses in “cross cultural study” thus freeing students from a strict two-course foreign language mandate. - - Hochfield, rising to the microphone near the end of the three hour session, denounced the plan as “regressive” and as “little morp than a return to distribution requirements.” Hochfield stressing that Gen Ed must introduce some “way of thinking” to students said that the program may give students a “course m this and a course in that” but that “none - - of this adds up to anything. The fragmentation of undergraduate education that has been the defect in undergraduate education for all these years is not solved.” General Edsication Committee Chairman Norman Baker, facing what was by far the harshest'criticism of the report, immediately replied: “I’d like to thank Professor Hochfield for the most masterful piece of misrepresentation that has been presented in the Faculty Senate Senate approved a long-expected change in the foreign language requirement. Foreign language courses may still be included in General Fdiication, but students will also be able to opt for courses that reflect “cross cultural experiences." A full report on the Senate debate will appear in Friday's issue of The Spectrum. ” Baker defended the work of the Committee, insisting repeatedly that the report makes provisions for all of Hochfield's objections and questioning whether Hochfield fully understood the scope and intent of the committee’s work. SA officers campaign begins as five vie for presidency Two weeks after more than 1600 students voted in a referendum that reorganized the student Senate, the undergraduate population will once again be called to the polls only this time for the annual Student Association (SA) elections. Five candidates are running for SA President and over 20 others are competing for posts on the Executive Committee. The elections are scheduled for next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (April 3,4, 5). Next year’s officers will face a critical year in student politics. With the Implementation of the Springer. Report and major academic decisions such as the General Education plan, students’ political voice will be well tested. In addition. University President Robert L. Ketter will announce his plans whether to seek reappointment in the Fall. Currently a new SA Constitution is being devised and plans to implement it next year are certain to undergo heavy scrutiny Two candidates’ forums, designed to acquaint voters with the various issues, will be held. The first one will be today at 1 p.m. in Squire Hall’s Haas Lounge. Another forum will be held in the Porter Cafeteria in the Ellicotl Complex at 8 p.m. next Monday.

Thieves bagged Monday morning in CANDIDATES FORUM According to the Department of Public Safety, called in on the case after the burglary's discovery by Grub Assistant Manager Mike Arnold, the break-in occurred between the 1:30 a.m. closing time and the opening at 9:30 a.m. The cylinder of the lock, police said, was carved out of the door. Although the Grub is one of many rooms or buildings on the Amherst Campus with an alarm system, Police report no alarms sounded throughout the early morning. Investigators testing the system TODAY March 28th at 2:30 pm Haas Lounge — Squire Hall late Monday morning discovered that the alarm rang in the police office. Business Sandmaire, John Inter-Residence Manager of Council Business (1RCB), the financial arm of the dorm student governemtn which runs three stores, including the Grub, said that only four people carry the special key needed to deactivate the alarm.

Reiss Special to The Spectrum The new Student Association (SA) Senate began to untangle some of the legislative web left by its predecessor in a remarkably quiet and somewhat uninspiring meeting Monday in Talbert Hall. It was the new Senate’s first complete meeting since the provisional body was formed last Tuesday. The meeting was unusually orderly and stood in stark contrast to the loud and often unruly gatherings of the old Senate, which was dissolved by the undergraduate student-wide Constitutional amendment. Most of the legislation was passed without long debates; and much of it was designed to undo old Senate deeds. Perhaps the most important action taken by the Senate was aimed at undoing what the Constitutional amendment caused: the virtual elimination of minority representation on the Senate. The old legislative body had many minority students, but the Constitutional amendment provided for only three representatives from special interest groups which included — minority organizations of the new Senators from that group are minorities. Attempting to remedy this, the Senate passed by 18-4-4 a resolution calling for increased none — and gays, homosexuals are not as disadvantaged as some other minorities. The amendment has been sent to the SA Operations and Rules Committee. minority representation. GLF a minority Exactly how many new seats would be added remains unsure SA President Karl Schwartz and Vice President for Sub Board Jane Baum suggested four and a number of new Senators argued strongly against the measure. Ironically, the students who fought hardest for the resolution were those who had been engaged in consistantly battling the old Senate, including Senator Bob Lowry. Baum said that there were weaknesses in the Constitutional amendment that caused the problem and claimed that “a certain number of Senators should be minorities.” Most of the Senate’s action was aimed at unravelling legislation passed by its predecessor. Tackling a question that had brought heated debate more than a month ago, the Senate voted to consider the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) as a minority organization. The previous Senate refused to pass this, arguing that although there is discrimination against - — Energetic debate The Senate upheld two SchwartE vetos of old Senate legislation. One resolution called for the University Administration to conduct an audit of The Spectrum, despite the fact that a Sub Board sponsored audit had recently been completed. The other resolution prohibited student clubs and organizations from advertising in The Spectrum. Schwartz argued that The Spectrum is virtually the only outlet student groups may use to get their message to the University community and called the resolution “riduculous.” The Senate upheld vetos, 18-0-1. 1 Tie meeting’s most energetic debate centered on The Spectrum's right to endorse candidates for SA offices.

Some present Senators claimed Monday W that The Spectrum's endorsements are too powerful a-H and that “something” should be done to curb the newspaper’s influence. After a long discussion, ® Baum suggested that rather than stop The Spectrum from endorsing, the Senate should pour its energies into bettering the alternative publications like The Other One and Worlds. Embracing Baum’s suggestion, and agreeing that it had no power to alter The Spectrum’s editorial policy, the Senate voted 20-2-2 not to enforce the amendment to the SA Election rules which sought to prevent the newspaper from endorsing. organization mambarah ip, and dacidad not to anforoa a ruling which prevented The Spectrum' from endorsing SA candidates. Above, outgoing president Karl Schwartz raises a point , previous expressed most,” she said, noting what she perceived as a student demand for an alternative publication to The Spectrum. Students seem to want another voice particularly on political endorsements and another outlet for their writing, Baum said. — ‘Worlds’ may fold due to student apathy, editor's resignation Editor-in-Chief of Worlds Joel Dinerstein resigned his post last week, with both his successor and the future of the new student magazine hanging in doubt. The two remaining issues of the semester may not appear. Dinerstein cited personal reasons for his resignation, as well as disillusionment with the direction of the magazine. He said his disenchahtment stemmed from his “own lack of vision” and from what he felt was poor student response. Student support, Dinerstein said, is essential to produce a magazine like Worlds. Some students come up to the magazine office but don’t seem to return, he lamented, and thus the editors must generate all ideas for topics as well as provide actual coverage. He had hoped that mori students would join the staff and provide a direction for the publication, Dinerstein said. Dinerstein believes that poor handling of the magazine, before its debut in December, was a major contributor to the current woes. The publication had no “grassroots support” he said, adding that “the fundamental problem was the attempt to go from top to bottom.” Dinerstein said that when he had been accepted for the post by Sub Board I Inc., which funds Worlds, he was the only applicant for the position. “Sub Board expected me to bring in the staff,” he said. Topsy turvy Chairman of Sub Board, Jane Baum, the major force behind the creation of the publication, agreed that it would have been more desirable to have built the magazine on broad-based support, but said the top to bottom mechanism is not without potential. Baum argued that someone had to get the project off the ground. “I couldn’t wait forever to get something going,” she said. Baum said that she had planned to institute the publication since she first took office last May. “It was one of the things people M.D./D.V.M.

Important Notice for Admission into Italian Medical or Roriie's — Dinerstein suggested that one of the reasons for the lack of student support is what he called the “association of Worlds with Sub Board or The Spectrum in the minds of many students. Although Worlds is in no Vay affiliated with The Spectrum and is only funded by Sub Board, he said that there is confusion on Worlds' status among many students. Not controlled This confusion, Dinerstein claimed, can be traced to Sub Board’s promotion tactics in initiating the magazine. Noting that all members of Worlds are employees of Sub Board, he said that Sub Board’s advertising for editors may have led some to erroneously conclude that Sub Board controls Worlds. Editor-in-Chief of The Spectrum and member of Sub Board’s Publication Board Jay Rosen was disappointed with the news of Dinerstein’s resignation. “I would have hoped that some of the problems could have been brought up earlier and perhaps avoided,” he said, “but it is a frustrating process to start a publication on this campus, requiring a lot of patience and a lot of philosophical commitment to the publication’s intent.” Rosen was not overly critical of Sub Board, saying, “1 think Joel’s resignation is more a reflection on the student body’s reluctance than on tactical errors by Sub Board.” The sixth issue of Worlds will appear Tuesday, a week behind schedule. Two more editions were planned for after the Spring Break, but with no one on Worlds as yet willing to assume the responsibilities of Editor-in-Chief, their publication is tenuous. Baum said that although a failure to publish the last two issues would “weaken the publication’s position at next year’s budget hearings,” it does not spell death for the magazine. “I think it’s a decent publication,” she said, “but it’s early, it needs time to mature.” Wednesday ...op PMnp R**** THURSDAY Tequila 50e I shot - mm**). 688-0100 Veterinary School. 5.

Now, I won’t sound sensible There’s no such thing as an audience. It’s all a figment of your imagination (Ong, 1975). In reality, you know that your audience is an instructor with a red pencil and a grade report; but who wants to say anything to that person? In my last column, 1 said that a good pre-writing exercise was writing what you know as if your reader were another student who had missed a month of classes somebody wo needed to know what you know. Then I suggested that you revise with your instructor as the audience. Now, I’m going to tell you to pretend that your instructor doesn’t exist. Write for someone else and let your instructor read over that person’s shoulder. - - For example, if you’ve been assigned a topic on community nutrition, you can write a plan for free school lunches with a balanced diet that your instructor will read and evaluate. Or, you can write on the same topic as if it were a report to the Councilman in that district, telling him what you did with the Federal funds. Your instructor will understand if you choose your title carefully and you are very clear about identifying your audience in the opening sentences. Both your real audience (the instructor) and your imaginary audience (the Councilman) expect you to be informed, clear and specific and authoritative in your writing. If you doubt that your instructor will understand, make an appointment and talk about it; Don’t try to rehearse the whole paper; you can come to The Writing Place to do that. Just go in and ask if a paper would be acceptable with the audience of a Councilman. If your instructor says no or doesn’t understand what you’re talking about, state your topic very simply, say that you’re writing “as if” you were directing a free lunch program, and you’re putting your paper in the form of a report to your Councilman boss. If your instructor still says no, ask questions about the-audience for the paper. No one can write without an -audience; and much college writing sounds as if it were written info an echo chamber the writer writing for the writer. Now, writing for yourself is a good pre-writing exercise in preparation of an academic paper; and I think, it is probably a necessary stage in writing — poetry or stories.

The search committee, headed by Physiology professor Barbara Howell, has narrowed its choices to seven of the original 70 applicants. Howell said that her committee, which started in late October, has just completed interviews with all seven of those still being considered as applicants. The committee possibly more plans to recommend three candidates to the Office of Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald R. Bunn before Spring break. Bunn will make the final determination after consultation with University President Robert L. Ketter and various deans. — — Not God Howell told The Spectrum that she is looking for people who are scholarly, innovative, experienced in education, and able to work within this University’s Administrative framework. “God has not applied,” she remarked, “but there is no question that more than one person fits the position.” The last search committee ran into roadblocks when many of the selected applicants did not have enough “scholarly” background to be eligible for tenure. Thus, when recommendations and further information were forwarded to Bunn’s office, the Vice President opted to re-open applications. In the meantime, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs Claude E. Welch holds the title of Acting Dean of the Colleges. Welch, who was the Dean before Spitzberg, has not applied for the full-time College Dean post.

She noted that the committee is garnering input from all sectors and assured administrators, faculty and students — “they will certainly pick a good person.” Howell explained that she does not know if the Dean’s salary is an issue among the candidates. Although The Spectrum reported Monday that administrative salaries here are not comparable to those at similarly sized schools, Howell said that the candidates must take up that discussion with Bunn. However, she noted, “I don’t think many would want to take a cut (compared to their current earnings).” Howell also commended her colleagues for their diligent efforts in the search for qualified candidates.

It is a frustrating, perplexing and frequently impossible task to begin a publication at this University. With the resignation of Worlds | Editor-in-Chief Joel Dinerstein threatening to sound the deathknell for 5 the struggling news-feature magazine, student leaders will again ask themselves: will the student body support an alternative to The i Spectrum? There has always been a clear need for a regular publication to provide a prospective on campus events other than The Spectrum's. But there has not been a commensurate show of student support for the two most notable attempts Ethos last year ai d Worlds this year. Cries tor staff go unheeded, response to the in any form publication itself is negligible, quality suffers and the editors begin to wonder whether anyone really cares if thay put out another edition. Nearly all universities this size are able to support more than one student publication. Many have departments of journalism that insure a steady supply of students interested in writing; but just as many must search out volunteers and help train them, as The Spectrum does each year. The recent history of publications here shows that lack of competent and enthusiastic writers usually kills; artists, photographers, ad salesmen, proofreaders, business managers, etc., can all be found. The newest campus publication, The Other One, is written by a surprisingly large group of students who have organized themselves as a newspaper cooperative; and perhaps this approach will prove to be the correct one. But the quality and consistency of The Other One will have to steadily improve before we can count on it to survive through the summer as a regular alternative to The Spectrum. The real questions are: where are the writers? And, just as importantly, where are the readers? If even half a dozen mildly-talented writers had marched up to the Worlds office and volunteered to lend a steady hand, we believe the publication would have improved immeasurably and would not now be faced with dissolution. If perhaps two dozen readers who enjoyed the publication and had suggestions for its improvement would have written letters or contacted the staff personally, the editors would probably not be wondereing whether they disrupted their academic and social lives for nothing. Our purpose is not to scold the student body by calling it its own worst enemy. Oui purpose is to dramatize how miserably publications are supported on this campus and to show how such a few people in 2 “ — — — could make a real difference. And, as we have stated many times, there is an agonizing need for an alternative news perspective one that will not fade as fast as its pages yellow. Particularly this year, when The Spectrum was forced to report on itself many times and then accused of wholesale bias, the lack of a second news perspective cut deeply into the student body's right to know. We would have liked to see Worlds try to offer another perspective on the SA Senate, for example, but the student body again did not seem to care if The Spectrum was the only publication reporting on that furious controversy,. We are regularly puzzled by students that “accuse" The Spectrum of owning some sort of monopoly on campus publications, for the shoe rightly belongs on the other foot. This student body can have as many publications and news perspectives as it is willing to support; but until that time student leaders can only try and, in all likelihood, fail.

Rosen’s distorted interpretation To the Editor. As one of the members of the group of faculty and staff which drafted the three proposed Affirmative Action ammendments to the General Education Plan, I want to clarify their content, goals and intent, given Jay Rosen’s extremely distorted interpretation of tjiem in his Friday editorial. It is quite astonishing that these ammendments could be interpreted as narrowing General Education. Maybe they do not create the idealplan for the ideal world. However, in the context of the history of education in our real world, our proposal in definitely one of expanding through inclusion, rather that limiting through exclusion. General Education has traditionally been focused upon Western Civilization. It has centered on the lives, ideas and experiences of the dominate culture, particularly on white upper class men. Our was one which would insure a broadening of this view, for it asked that students take courses on women and/ or minorities from the perspectives of these groups. The issue is a very simple one. The past ten years has seen tremendous discovery and innovation in the study of women and minorities. The basic question is whether this kind of material is going to become more central to our education or to remain on the periphery. Will women and minority students in this University participate in a general education program that takes their ideas and experiences seriously? Will all students learn to incorporate the perspectives and experiences of women and minorities when dealing with issues of discrimination, bias and oppression? It is ironic that when people study women and minorities developing ways to share their knowledge with the rest of the University community, they are accused of being narrow and isolated, 'and when they do propose a first step for infusing the idea into the general curriculum, they are also accused of being narrow. Rosen’s main argument to show how the Affirmative Action Amendment is narrowing General education seems to be that if they really dealt with such issues as cultural bias and discrimination, they would have argued for a broader plan which emphasized what all the disciplines have to say about bias and discrimination. What Rosen ignores is that this has always been legitimate in General Education. What has not been legitimate, and what we wanted to make legitimate is the perspective and experience of minorites and women in relation to these issues. We are arguing that no attempt to deal with bias can be complete without these perspectives and that General Education should be one place where students begin to learn this. Rosen goes as far as to say that not only is our statement of principle unnecessary, but also it destroys the balance and logic of the document. He spends a goad deal of time showing that if it should have been included at all it should not have been added as a separate section but, rather included under section V, Rationale and Explanation. This demonstrates just how ill-informed Rosen’s arguments are. When Rosen claims that we could have added the principle of Affirmative Action curriculum to Section V, he is misled by the title. -Section IV, (Proposals), and Section V, (Rationale and Explanation), are tied together in this repor(. The subsections of each section match exactly, with each subsection in V being an explicit rationale for the proposal in IV. Therefore this section is not the to place add a statement of underlying principle. . Obviously in a case like this a commitment to proposal principle is the first step, and then one talks about ways to implementation. That is why we chose the method of ammendment that we did, proposing ammendments to section 111, IV and V. Although other methods may have been possible, Rosen’s suggestions were impossible. There is a naive assumption behind Rosen’s arguments that our goals would be reached if we would trust the committee and did not write Affirmative Action curriculum into the plan. In fact there is no indication in the plan that this would be the case. The need for Affirmative Action in education is reflected nowhere in the report. It was as if the General Education Committee was unaware of these concerns. During the summer when members of the Committee met with departments for ideas, the Program in American Studies raised these kinds of issues in a two hour meeting, but never heard more about them. I personally spoke with two members of the committee at different times about this concern but they were not optimistic that the committee as a whole would be responsive. It was only in January when a boarder coalition of people from the ad hoc committee on racism and the ad hoc coalition for Affirmative Action raised it to the Presidents Affirmative Action Committee, that the General Education Committee showed an interest. In such a situation it seems best to raise the issue publicly in the faculty senate in order to effectively influence the direction of the not General Education plan. I find it particularly amusing that Rosen opens his editorial with the statement that Affirmative Action is like Motherhood, who can challenge it? 1 would have thought that any educated person in today’s world would have noticed that there are a lot of people challenging both motherhood and Affirmative Action. In fact such challenges have gone as far as the Supreme Court with major news coverage. The effort to hold back Affirmative Action has been very strong on this campus and we have made little progress (minimally check the hiring and promotion figures for proof.) However, the Senate’s adoption of the principle of incorporating curriculum on minorities and women ihto general education is a positive step. The open discussion of the issue has raised people’s consciousness about curricular issues and brought together people with similar concerns to plan for the future. I feel optimistic that by October, themes will be developed that will be a .sound contribution to General Education. Elizabeth Kennedy P.S. This letter was written in response to last Fridays editorial. After it was written I read Monday’s editorial on the same topic. Essentially, Rosen’s points are the same with one spicy addition. He accuses the backers of the Affirmative Action ammendments of self-interested politics, which are designed to destroy General Education. I wish The Spectrum would print the three ammendments in full or at least the one that was approved, so that members of the University Community as a whole could judge for themselves the content and intent. I think that the text demonstrates clearly the supporters intent to work with and improve General Ed. It strikes me that if Rosen had had the benefit of the kind of education the ammendments propose he would know that it Is possible and in fact has occured frequently in history and today that people have argued for this vision of education and society out of a deep intellectual commitment to improve both'. �feedback esdaywednesdaywed? f H I Fusion club: the foolish oversight To the Editor: 1 was contacted during the summer of 1978 by a member of a political party which I had never heard of before; the United States Labor Party (USLP). They appealed to my interest in scientific affairs, namely, the research currently underway in the field of controlled thermonuclear fusion. They told me that a great number of schools In the United States had chapters of a national organization called the Fusion Energy Foundation. Although individuals of the USLP verbally assured me that the FEF was not at all political and that the two groups were separate entities, 1 discovered too late that the latter was literally a “foundation” for the USLP. In addition to serving as a platform from which the USLP could speak to scientists, the FEF publishes a monthly magazine called Fusion Magazine that is barely a quarter of an inch thick and costs S2.00. I happen to think that there are good reasons to support the development of a new energy source such as fusion. As a student of applied science, I am concerned and interested whenever a new development is announced in the press. Very seldom are articles about fusion circulated in the media. That is why 1 was so susceptible to a magazine which is seemingly devoted to that scientific topic. 1 was led to believe that a school chapter of the FEF would exist at this school solely for the purpose of enlightening students regarding the consequences of a fusion economy. 1 thought it would benefit many interested students on campus to start our own chapter. But the FEF did not want to be responsible for the actions of a newly-formed campus group. 1 worked with another SUNY/Buffalo graduate student to organize a Fusion Energy Club on campus. He admitted that he had at one time belonges to the USLP, but had left it for reasons undisclosed to me. I thought his position was innocuous enough. 1 was gullible and let myself become he president; the became Secretary-Treasurer. We managed to get some twenty students to sign up with the club. At first our weekly meetings were devoted mostly to talk of competing energy sources: coal, gas, nuclear, solar, etc., and the role fusion energy would play if it were economically feasible. The persistant attendence of our meetings by a non-student and active member of the USLP did not *••>( .vj-'-lV. — ■!,•»{ • •f’ *»• i >**$<■ ’ -V Available immediately bother me until the topic gradually shifted to more worldly schemes. By the time I gave club members my ultimatum, the topics were generally of a slanderous' nature guided by the theme of harmonizing and unifying the world! The effect upon third world nations was lengthily deliberated. I felt that the Fusion Energy Club (FEC) had not accomplished what 1 had hoped it would. Instead, the political overtones became ever louder, until they dominated the topic of science. At that the vice-president and 1 held a private meeting. We -decided that the USLP member whose attendence was becoming more and more regular and whose soliloquies were becoming more and more lengthy had no business attending our weekly meetings. When confronted by our decision to exclude that member from all future meetings, the Secretary immediately opposed me He stated, other things, that the among students of SUNY/Buffalo should be grateful to the USLP for having guided the development of the FEC. Feeling no sense of gratitude toward the USLP, but concern for those students who gave their signatures, I denounced the motives of the USLP at the next meeting and moved that, henceforth, nb non-students shall be allowed to attend the weekly meetings. The Secretary promptly questioned the validity of my accusations and argued in favor of keeping the present attendence policies intact. The club membership voted my motion down by a 3-1 margin. 1 picked up my things and, amidst some protest, resigned on the spot. 1 did not want anything to do with an organization which could be usew for venting half-baked political objectives in an academic atmosphere. To the besL of my knowledge, the Fusion Energy Club no longer exists. 1 had hoped that, by stepping down, I could make members of the club realize that something really had gone wrong. It worked! I hope that, in the furure, well-intending students at this (and other) universities do not make the same mistake I did. Although I will not press charges at this time, the consequences of such a political scheme could have proven serious. 1 am glad that the club was aborted early enough after its inception. I hope that this letter will in some way atone for my foolish oversight. Martin SchleehauJ Guest Opinion WSC seriously threatened While the recent budgetary cuts have endangered the excellence of many programs at SUNYAB, none seem so seriously threatened as Women's Studies. Currently, there are three faculty within the American Studies Program who service and supervise undergraduate study in Women’s Studies College, as well as graduate feminist research, which involves 4C0*600 students a year in 20 to 25 courses a semester. We have found three faculty to be a bare minimutti for the maintainance of this program; yet the administration does not feel it can maintain us at our present size. Our program has been an asset to the university since we began in 1971. Despite the smrll number of faculty and limited resources, we have been able to ' develop a high caliber undergraduate and graduate program which has been recognized nationally time and time again.

Blum point, T by Women’s Studies To the Editor. administration acknowledged the importance of women’s studies to the entire university, and the necessity of guaranteeing a bare minimum of three faculty to maintain the existence and the quality of women’s studies at UB, The most recent cuts to the SUNYAB budget have led V.P.A.A. Bunn and Dean Levine to renege on this commitment. They refuse to replace Dr. Robinson, who is resigning. Instead they are taking advantage of Dr. Robinson’s resignation to make a permanent cut of one faculty member from our program. While they say they will try to arrange funding for a temporary replacement for next year, this will in no way make up for the permanent removal of one of our three faculty, since it carries with it no commitment lor funding beyond the academic year. They are further 1 disregarding their commitment to three faculty for Women’s Studies by refusing to hire a temporary replacement for Dr. Elizabeth Kennedy, a Chancellor’s Award winner for teaching excellence, who is taking a well deserved and overdue sabbatical Lillian Robinson received Rockerfeller.

The sad truth, Mr. Riesmann, is thi t the UU Engineering Department has already made life difficult for Engineering students by piling on so many requirements that there is no room for any other courses, Gen Ed or otherwise. It seems to me that if some kind of meaningful Gen Ed program is to be worked out the Engineering Department is going to have to make some concessions in terms of its own requirements. The Engineering students here do not have any academic freedom. I suggest that instead of “imposing” some sort of specific program on Engineering students the Faculty Senate increase the freedom by forcing the Engineering Department to let up on their preponderance of narrow requirements. In this way Engineering students that do not wish to remain ignorant of everything outside their field are free to take other courses. In summary, if seems that the only kind of freedom the Engineering Department is interested in is freedom to' impose their own requirements. Daniel P. Tiede Consider the dangers To the Editor: In response to the March 21st letter by Patrick Crouse on the nuclear threat, I would like to question the truth in, (or any reason for), his statements on uranium mining. I have spent the last two summers working along side these “poisoned” Navajo people in a uranium mill at Uravan, Colorado. “Consider the devastation of mining.” Okay, I’m considering it. Large corporations taking advantage of cheap tabor, right? Well, come to think of it, about 75% of the mines were private and some of the mill workers even owned them. Corporate miners, about half being Navajo, make 10-15 dollars an hour, and are supplied with safety,equipment some private contractors leave out. Devastation of our beautiful desert land, right? The mines can only be seen as small caves and rock piles in river valley walls. Factory tailings and effluent will be covered when the factory closes. Covered? Tailing radiation!! The effects of radioactivity from raw uranium ore are about like spending the day on the beach on a sunny day.. Government standards require tailings piles to be environmentally safe for at least 100,000 years. (Hmm, that’s a long time.) And, believe it or not, government standards are upheld, (at least in Uravan) because the uranium industry is being watched very closeljr. i The only real problem that faces uranjum miners is exposure to radon gas. Through four generations of mining (uranium used to be used for yellow coloring in paint), no genetic defects have been noticed and the incidence of cancer is the same as other miners. Mining is almost considered an art. It represents a traditional way of life that is being handed down and a business that many Navajos prefer to farming. They make engineer’s pay but do the work to deserve it. They are proud of their labor and throw away controlling organizations and unions. The statement about the genocide of native Americans is totally ignorant. The workers know the dangers of minihg, and the danger of uranium mining. There are as .many whites as Navajos working the mines of Colorado and they all are not a bunch of blind sheep. People are afraid of nuclear power because they don’t understand it. How can you feej, unsafe standing next to a nuclear reactor yet feel secure near a chlorine factory? An explosion or leak in either one would be very similar. Pro-nuclear fanatics ignore its dangers. Anti-nuclear fanatics, like you, exaggerate its dangers. We need both in a democracy to guide conflicts down the centerline and find an answer somewhere in the middle. J.C.

On Friday, March 16th, an article by Ross Chapman on exhibits in the Art Book Collection area of Lockwood Library referred to apathy, unused exhibit cases and poor lights. The staff of the ■art area are by no means apathetic. Last fall we had numerous facility problems in that area and were anxious not to attract people until the situation was corrected. The Art Librarian, Mrs. Florence DaLuiso, has used the cases for displays of books and small items in the past and will do so again when she returns from sabbatical leave in July. While Mrs. DaLuiso is away, we cannot keep up with all the work she normally does. Exhibits take a lot of time and have to be limited this spring. As Gretchen Knapp stated in her March 19th letter to The Spectrum, a certain amount of‘red tape’ is involved. For instance, the Libraries cannot assume financial liability for any non-library materials, and exhibitors who wish to, must provide their own insurance. Finally, all but one of the lights in the exhibit cases were repaired three weeks before Mr. Chapman’s article appeared. Parts have been ordered to repair the last one. I’m very sorry Mr. Chapman didn’t contact me before this article appeared. Some of the questions he raised could have been answered much sooner. Diane Parker Acting Head oj Lockwood Library Sickening To the Editor In response to the letter “Support the Palestinians” printed in the Monday, March 26, 1979 issue of The Spectrum 1 would like to make a few comments 1) I find it sickening that the only thing a group of people can do is try to stop one of the most momentous occassion of recent, if not all, history The signing of the Israeli-Egypt Peace Treaty. Since the formation of Israel, it has never been at peace with its neighbor. How can it possibly be said that after all they went through to gain peace, Egypt and Israel should not sign a peace treaty. 2) How can the notion of “self-rule”, as defined by the peace treaty, be condemned if it, as yet, has not been settled. The workings of this part of the agreement will be worked out starting four 'weeks after the treaty. In addition to Egypt, Prime Minister Begin said he would talk to Palestinian representatives. The only people Begin has absolutely refused to talk with is the PLO a group that goes around murdering innocent people, a group that absolutely refuses to recognize Israel’s right to exist, a group whose only purpose is the destruction - PLO’s obstinate of Israel and the pushing of its residents into the sea. 3) Free Palestine? Before Israel won the West Bank, in a war started by the Arab countHes, the Jews could not go and set their ancestoral holy shrines. Under the laws of Israel, Jeruselum is now an open city. 4) If all the Palestinians ever wanted was their own country, and not the destruction of Israel, why did they reject the 1947 U.N. proposal that Palestine be divided into two states a Jewish state and an Arab state, totally independent of each other, with Jeruselum "be in an international city? It couldn’t have been because it was also unacceptable to the other side Israel accepted the proposal. 5) As far as the last statement, “Stop the massacure of the Palestinian people in the name of peace”, is concerned, I wish someone could explain what massacre if being refered to.

In their “Infant Laboratory” on the 400 acre ETS “campus” in New Lawrence, Jersey, ETS researchers study the learning processes of babies as yoqng as three months. They prepare “basic skills” tests that require school children to show a command of certain subjects before ,,advancing to the next grade. They provide an admissions test for children wishing to go to the better secondary private schools. Almost all those who have college hopes must take the ETS Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Graduates the confront prospective SAT last preparation average of 57 portion of the SAT, and 79 points on the math section, for an overall average of 136 points, enough to make a difference to almost any college admissions director. A more recent study by one of ETS’s own researchers, Lewis Pike, also concluded that scores “I know it's not fair, but that’s the way we do it,” says one admissions director at an Eastern “We to use school. have something to narrow scores an points on the verbal raised the SAT-math test could be by a improved significantly short-term program of instruction. subsequently Pike was “terminated." on our choices,” Even more harsh is the practice grossed which almost $80 million last year, has clout. “Forget about where ETS would stand on the Fortune 500,” says Alan Nairn, who has been studying ETS with Ralph Nader for four years. “As far as influence and power over the consumer is concerned, ETS is in a class with General Motors and AT&T. What’s frightening is that, unlike those other companies, ETS is virtually unregulated.” Testing the tests ETS escapes many forms of government regulation by virtue of its non-profit status. Attempts to pass “Truth In Testing” bills in Congress have been stalled or lobbied to death by ETS, which also lobbied to exempt itself from “Privacy” the Buckley Amendment.

Some legal experts say that if the FTC study concludes that HTS has misled test takers into coaching taking helpful not courses, a class action suit could be filed on behalf of millions who believed ETS. not will ETS executives comment “until we have seen the report.” These problems and others such as an apparent bias in the tests that results in lower scores have for blacks and Hispanics prompted groups like the National Teachers Association and the for Black Association Psychologists to call for a ban on standardized tests like the SAT. - graduate school.

Yet evidence is now mounting that ETS test scores may be both invalid and misused. The scores, which are not meant to be precise, are precisely applied by schools and employers. And the tests measure a may themselves person’s skill in taking tests more than they do any other ability. Acknowledging the problem, ETS consistently warns those institutions and employers who receive test scores that the exams are limited in validity and accuracy, and should not be given too much weight in decisions of admissions or hiring. For example, a standard “error of measurement” (EM) built into the tests belies the seemingly precise form in which the score is reported. The SAT is scored in three-digit numbers ranging from 200-800, but has a 32-point EM, meaning 60-point that a difference between the scores of is practically two students insignificant. Despite this, those who evaluate scores frequently make decisions oh as five-point differences. little as Women’s rights rally Saturday Cutbacks in hard-won abortion rights and ongoing sterilization abuse represent a growing trend to remove the rights that women have won in the past decade, according to the Buffalo and UB Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse (CARASA) In recognition of this trend, an International Women’s Conference held last summer in Europe called for a day of international protest on March 31.

This gives a “do-or-die” quality to the tests that even ETS has gone on record as deploring. “This is a of many weak point in the process," admits ETS director of technical development William Angoff. Coach Kaplan The problem of misuse of test scores is compounded by evidence indicating that the scores can be artificially raised by short or intermediate term “coaching.” This problem goes to the very heart of ETS, which insists that the tests measure “developed ability” acquired ovpr many years, and are not susceptible to coaching.

HotCE E3 by the Undergraduate TUITION HIKE The battle to keep tuition down is not lost. Student Association leaders and students have been sending letters to their representatives, lobbying with members of the legislature and marching on Albany. The intense student concern to fight the hike culminated last week when over 5,000 SUNY students marched a half mile from Lincoln Park to the steps of the Capital. At Capital the SUNY 6,000 chanted slogans and heard members of their legislature speak on keeping tuition down. Chairman of the Assembly Higher Education Committee, Mark Siegal. who two weeks ago visited U.B. and was enlighted on this University’s woes by Student Association leaders, told the students “That tuition would not be raised by $150.00.” The Assemblymen, obviously impressed by the strong student turnout decreed his support for studnnt activism urging militancy”. students to “retain their / Assemblyman John Flannigan, in speaking out against lower tuition denied the myth that the student voice is not heard in Albany. Flannigan urged students to tell their legislators that they are voters and are opposed to a tuition increase. The most promising news of the afternoon from Senator Abraham Bernstein who told students that he has introduced legislation with 27 co-sponsors to prohibit any raises in tuition. SUNY is asking for an additional $9 million in funding. S5 million will go directly to the operating budget primarily for funding for library acquisitions and academic equipment replacement and the additional $4 million will be spent on bonding for new construction. Both these additional expenditures directly affect students here at U.B. If the present SUNY Budget is passed our libraries will only be able to buy textbooks and periodicals at 85% of last years rate. This can be translated into a 2 or 3 rank drop in national library research ranking. The split campuses here create a necessity for additional building and those funds are essential to begin in making U.B. a functional campus. Although the Board of Trustees Executive Committee, the group responsible for determining tuition, has indicated their desire to raise lower division $150.00, the legislature could force the Trustees’ hand. A victory against higher tuition would be a major student success. It would mean that we have been able to fight opposition from the Governor, Chancellor and the non-representative bureaucracy, the Division of came Student Association GENERAL EDUCATION March 13th, several proposals of the General Education Committee will be brought up before the Faculty-Senate. The most concrete of these proposals is a new distribution requirement to be implemented in Fall 1980. There will be a few difficulties involved for students should these proposals be passed intact. First, the number of courses that an entering freshmen will be required to take for distribution will be increased from 8 to at least 11. Second, the three faculties presently defined in distribution requirement wilt be spread over six knowledge areas. Students would have to take two courses in each of the knowledge areas, effectively prohibiting most undergraduate from learning anything in depth outside of their own On major. This would eliminate the unofficial “minor” programs that so many students choose increase awareness of the importance quality teaching plays in the lives of University students, the Student Association is instituting an annual teaching award for professors who excell in classroom instruction. A committee comprised of Academic Affairs Task Force members has compiled a list of criteria In our effort to upon which to evaluate the quality of instruction students are receiving. Undergraduate students were publicly invited to nominate professors for this awatd, and submitted an outline based upon our criteria in behalf of their professor. After some initial elimination, the final five professors were To the Student Body — In our four years at UB, most students have had little if any idea of what the Undergraduate Student Association does for them. For some SA administrations this has , been a blessing, since their records of accomplishment have been pretty dismal. Regardless, the gap is too wide between the work of the Undergraduate Student Association on University issues, and the knowledge of and participation in student advocacy on the part of the student body. It is essential for the leaders of the Undergraduate Student Association to make real attempts to narrow this gap.

Some are convinced it was an insidious plot on the part of evil-minded administrators. Others feel it was a genuine attempt at encouraging small group interaction. Still others think it was just plain stupidity. Whatever the motivating factor, the design of the Amherst Campus is, to say the least, decentralized one. We arc all too familiar with the lack of any central activity/hanging out space on Amherst. Until central facilities for social, cultural, and recreational use arc built, campus life at Amherst will remain -stagnant and isolated. At present, there are no plans to build a central facility, now or in the future. The “master pUK” for Amherst calls for three (3) separte buildings which will supposedly serve the same .kinds of purposes as does Squire Hall. It was thtough a tremendous lack of foresight and sensitivity to student life, that the master planners spread these buildings out all over campus. This will serve to fragment student activities and programs, and create a nonfunctional situational. Beyond that, the total amount of space being planned fur these buildings amounts to less than half of the total space that exists in Squire Hall. To further aggravate this unfortunate condition construction has yet to begin on any of Amherst’s student activity buildings, with the State of New York in no great hurry to finish our campus, it is anyone’s guess as to when “student space” on Artiherst will be built. The Undergraduate Student Association recognizes this problem as an extreme one, since it so affects the quality of life of U.B. students. It must be dealt with immediately. What we would like to do is airlift Squire Hall to the Amherst Campus. However since the Dental School is slated to take over Squire in a few years, we do not think U.S.’s dentists would look too favorably upon that idea. We have however, begun to explore another possible solution. For, the past month, S.A. leaders have been meeting with several administrators, sounding them out on the idea of building our own one center for students, University Union slumni, and all members of the University faculty, such as exists at colleges and Community universities all across the country. We have also with members of the U.B. Alumni met - Association, the U.B. Foundation and the Faculty Club. Any campaign to build a University Union, to be successful, must have the broad based, active support of all the constituencies in the U.B. community. Due to the state’s dismal fiscal situation, and a reluctance on its part to authorize new construction projects, we can expect little assistance fiom Albany. Any Union that we would build would have to be financed from sources other than the State Budget. It is no small task to build our own Union. But the responses we have gotten so far from the representatives of the various constituencies on campus have been most encouraging. Rarely has any ides been greeted with such universal enthusiasm on this campus. Everyone seems to agree that a University Union is the kind of “shot in the arm” Amherst needs to help turn the campus into a community. A proposal from the Undergraduate Student Association has been submitted to University President Robert Ketter. It calls for the U.B. Foundation (the fund raising arm of the University) to do a study on the feasability of obtaining the necessary funding for the construction of a University Union on the Amherst Campus. We have recommended that if such a fund drive is determined feasable by the Foundation, a University-wide committee, with representatives from the student body, faculty, administration, alumni, and the Foundation, be formed, and charged by the University President with the responsibility for this formidable undertaking. We expect soon a response to our proposal from Dr. Ketter. ,f w e to build a University Union on the Amherst Campus, solid commitments will have to be made lOWards this effort from all groups in the u,B. Community. Certainly many departments are in a position to lend their expertise and all available University resources which can assist such a project must be tapped, May be we cann ot airbft Squire Union to the Amherst Campus Lbut through a dedicated and un ed e((ort on the P art of of thc U B Community we might just be able to create a S<l uire . on Amherst for the entire University " * . .. . , « “ Community. - ■ $ i1 ' *;\o$ ; �t Consultant campaign, he reflects. —continued from page 6— .

OPENING LINES Jerry Brown. It's a name you’ve heard a lot of and in all likelihood will hear even more of in coming years. The question that must be asked is how and why this man is so adept at.focusing media coverage on himself. Sure, California governors have always had an easy time of keeping their names in the newspapers and on the of America's television pundits, by virtue of the fact California is supposed to be at least two or three years ahead of the rest of the nation when it comes to trends and styles. But California suzerein Jerry Brown, with his slick, enigmatic and oft-times eccentric manner, seems to lips that have a certain irresistable bold on the journalistic profession, even when he's the object of their derision. Perhaps this obsession is more of a tribute to the Zen Governor’s manipulative abilities than to his engaging personality. Essentially Brown has been selling the premise that he is the political wave of the future while the image-hungry media cat up this mythical hype morsel, chopstick and finger. The hype then acquires a momentum of its own. Brown can watch with an arrogant gleam in his eye as the media dresses up his image in more and more colorful, mysterious and elaborate robes. Well, this all makes for dynamite imagery, but in the process. Brown's political objectives get lost. In the article below veteran campus political analyst John H. Reiss widens his scope onto the national scene and scrutinizes the California Governor as the consummate new type politician, one who not only responds to issuesbut creates them via obscurity, agitation, rambunctiousness or any other means deemed suitable. { tn H -y a weekly supplement On the next page.

Reiss on certain individual issues and then going with the flow. Rather, When Arizona Congressman Morris Udall brought this Brown presidential campaign to UB’s Squire Hall (then Norton Hall) in 1976, he assailed front running Jimmy Carter for waffling on the Mr. Carter, Udall complained, received a majority of the pro-abortion vote in Boston (in the Massachusetts primary) and a majority of the anti-abortion vote as well. “Somebody’s toooled issues. Shoot from the hip Brown does not shoot from the hip. He can’t. That would require a concise, genuine approach to crucial issues. He must first test the frenetic political waters before making any sort of decision or taking a stand. But more here,” Udall asserted. To (fay, the fooling is being perpetrated by California’s Zen Jerry Brown, an ti,ovc'rnor, California Governorship last November by the largest margin in The son of former California Governor Pat Brown, young Jerry commands a large, almost desperately searching superfluous chunks from the military budget and that low income groups will not be hurt. But Brown knows better. He clearly understands that the military budget is the single most secure federal expenditure, one which is immune to any serious cutbacks. The result is the same as with his death penalty stand; rhetorical public support among liberal constituents for the liberal to take the issue to the nation. Brown has now become the champion of the California tax revolt, milking it for his political advantage. Imminent collapse But watch Brown closely. Already he is preparing for what he believes would be Proposition 1 3 ’s imminent collapse. He carefully reminds people that Proposition 13 was not his idea. Although he is more than willing for where the federal budget should be cut, so he won’t. He can go with the flow.” He is thus, as Andrew Kopkind of The Village Voice suggests, more libertarian than liberal, a politician who believes people should be able to do what they want. a And Jerry Brown wants what the people want, because that means votes. But this style lacks an ideology. Jerry Brown’s politics have no real form or substance, instead of direction and priorities. Brown offers us Brown draws from the left, but shoots from the right. One case- in paint is the Governor’s handling of the California death penalty issue. The California State legislature voted overwhelmingly to through which he can gain crucial political yardage. The runner does not care whether he gains ground by running to his left, to his right, or straight up the middle, as long platitudes and euphemisms what he likes to call buzz words. — reinstitute capital punishment, clearly aligning itself with public Although this might make for a good politician, it does not forge opinion. Seeking the liberal vote, Brown vetoed the measure, sending the issue back to the legislature. Once there, however, moves forward. Borwn’s method differs significantly from the strategy Carter used in his presidential quest three years ago. Carter simply avoided the issues, and played a slick evasive game of “trust me.” It worked. Brown on the other hand, has a stand on as he the substance of a national leader. Perhaps the most discouraging thing about Jerry legislature, in an attempt to keep the body from overriding his veto, Brown remained silent, assuring passage of the measure. Clearly, Brown could have lobbied legislators to prevent his veto t,he confronts Americans today; from tax reform to corporate from being overturned. Thus, monopolies, from Brown accomplished two goals: Constitutionally mandated he garnered significant liberal balanced federal budgets to support among voters in the State inflated military spending.

The new constituency, which Brown feels he has firmly in his grasp, wants it; and (jence, so does he. But-his balanced iqa s public support of the amendment Borwn is the disquieting notion that those who are most hurt by his eclectic rhetoric are those who want to support him most: liberals. Liberals are always searching for that leader, the one politician who can combine progressive thought with a large middle of the road constituency. Eugene McCarthy Iwas too radical. George McGovern was too inept. But in Jerry Brown they see a man who thinks young, big and new, a leader who has successfully achieved a varied constituency that includes the Governor employed a different tack. Rather than- seek support from within the that was quoted as saying, “Jerry doesn’t have to decide support, are the ones who are Brown’s style is much like that of a swift, political running back: running carefully behind a line of blockers, waiting for an opening But to label Jerry Brown a progressive is a mistake. More accurately, he is a populist, a associate reveling in Brown’s rhetoric, while reeling from his actions. Jerry Hayden. react,he mobilizes. He mobilizes protest, mobilizes opinion, mobilizes action. The man is most certainly a leader, an instigator. Jerry Brown complains that the Democratic party is plagued by a stagnation, whose only care is decisive movement. Hence, Brown sets the wheels in motion, he is a populist, a precise surveyor of public moods, opinions and trends. simply precise surveyor of public moods, opinions and trends. Brown takes the public’s pulse and prescribes action accordingly. One Browq geniiine progressive they can frighteningly unique constituency of voters which includes Proposition 13 conservatives as well as late ’60s radicals like Tom Brown is tip-toeing on a delicate high wire, but has an adequate supply of safety nets waiting below him should he fall. It is not a dangerous game if played correctly. And Brown is the master of the high wire. Yet, Brown is not engaging in the old political game of discerning where the public stands slice singing its praises and threatening hearts of both the progressive left and the more stable right. Often Brown takes one stand to appease one group, while working actively for the other side. And it appears that the liberals, those who are the State’s history and who is preparing to take his show to the nation in a bid for the presidency. every issue on demagoguery. He neatly explains to the poor that the amendment could be used to importantly, when Brown does take his shot, it is aimed at the enigmatic populist who won the virtually seeks patterns and constituencies, using them as launching pads for his advantage.

Even more blatant, was his now almost forgotten switch on Howard Jarvis' Proposition 13.

Brown’s nondogmatic nature allows him to take new and different approaches to problem-solving. The basic liberal philosophy is to deal head-on with the issue. Bargain, make promises, institute new, advanced, expensive mechanisms. Brown does not to moderate conservatives as well as student liberals. Jerry Brown, many feel, is the politician who can lead the nation out of the conservative apathetic 70s and into an imaginative, progressive 80s, But close analysis of the California Governor reveals him to be an opportunistic, passionless leader. It is a shame that his resolve, intelligence and considerable charisma has not and probably will not, be channeled into a profile that’s both substantive and Truly progressive. �(O i a e Natl Health care? by Harvey Shapiro Long a goal of U.S. liberals, a National Health Care bill appears Just as unrealizable today as it did ten years ago. Most Congressmen and Senators, Republicans and Democrats alike, are hesitant to support Mass.), which is a recent proposal by Senator Ted Kennedy (Dem. akin to the British system, in its comprehensiveness due to the massive - cost of implementation. DO THEY REALLY REPRESENT YOU? Some UB students ore demonstrating this Saturday 'PRO-ABORTION, ANTI-STERILIZATION' The have a right to express their sentiments. In response to the apparent reluctance of legislators to support a full scale health care package, President Carter, last Friday, announced he would seek acceptance of a $12 billion plan for “catastrophic illness.” Under this proposal, the patient would pay for health care up to a certain level, with the federal government picking up the rst of the bill. Catastrophic illness has been determined to be a long, drawn out hospital stay such as in the case of terminal cancer. Besides pressure from the medical profession, legislators pn Capitol Hill fear tnat approval of a proposal on th* scope of the’Kennedy bill would drive taxes up and taxpayers mad. According to Lorraine My att, a legislative aide in Congressman Jack Kemp’s office, the Kennedy national health care program would cost the nation $70-100 billion in its first year, forcing the average citizen’s taxes up twenty percent. “It would cost the average person more in the long run if the proposal passes,” she said. Kemp supports the Carter measure. Voluntary constraints Democrats are equally hesitant to support a program as large as Kennedy’s plan. Marc Norman, Press Secretary for (Congressman John J. LaFalce, said the answer to soaring health care costs does not lie solely in full scale regulations of the profession. Norman suggested that price differences between two doctors ought to be made public. “The average consumer can’t compare fees. Discrepancies might exist, but the consumer is probably unaware of them,” he said. But Norman sees the lack of scrutiny by the government as a major reason for the high cost of health care. “It is essential that someone watch over the fees which doctors set without justification in insurance cases,” he said. Last year, LaFalce supported President Carter’s proposal for voluntary constraints on the medical profession, but the proposal never made it past a House Subcommittee due to pressure from hospitals and the American Medical Association.. Norman said supporting a Kennedy plan before a proposal makes it past a subcommittee is like learning how to run before you can walk. We should move ahead on hospital containment, but step by step and not all at once.” LaFalce also supports the new Carter plan. Liberal proposals for national takeover of the welfare relief programs across the natiort have also met with stiff resistance in the past decade. Currently, 50 percent of welfare benefits are paid by the federal government and the other 50 percent is evenly split between the State and local governments. States with a high welfare roll, such as New York, have often lobbied for complete federalization of welfare to alleviate their burden. ” SO DO YOU. Join Niogoro, Bonaventure other area colleges in & Strong resistance LAFAYETTE SQUARE THIS SATURDAY AT NOON SEE YOU THERE! oufh for One problem with federalization, according to trie County Social Services developer Janette Christian, is that western States, where welfare costs arc not as high, feel they will bear the burden for the Eastern cities’ poor. Another problem with the federalization of welfare lies in the liberal-convervative split the issue invariably causes. Conservatives headstrongly resist any move towards complete federalization, unless payments to relief recipients are small. Liberals will not support a measure that gives meager payments and, in 1969, voted down such a proposal by President Nixon. Hyatt explained that Kemp was definately opposed to any sort of federalization. Last year. Carter’s proposal of a Welfare Relief bill, which would have brought the program under complete federal control, did not pass the House Ways and Means Committee. A new proposal is taking shape, but Hyatt said at this time “we don’t know what form it will take or whether iKemp would be in favor of it.” Norman said any welfare proposal is doomed to die. “There is a serious problem with any welfare takeover by the federal government,” he observed. “No matter if there are small payments or huge payments a significant portion of the legislators will be steadfastly opposed to it. Norman added that getting any proposal past the House would be "terribly difficult at this time.” ��00 I CL Nad divestment fight resumes On March 16, two University of Michigan students day of protests aimed at convincing the university regents to align their investment were arrested on the second policies with their equal opportunity racial policies. The protests came after a year of student effort to get the university to divest itself of investments in companies that do business in South Africa and that, by extension, support that nation’s apartheid system. What sets the Michigan arrests apart is that it is the first salvo in what promises to be a national anti-apartheid campaign this spring, with special events organized for the week of April 4-11. The events, scheduled at a series of regional conferences last October and November, are generally “educational” in nature, though western organizers complain that their activities lack the militant edge that seems to be evident in the east and midwest. In California, says Stanford organizer Laura Wagner “people are almost burning out on the issue. We’ve been at it longer than other parts of the country. So lately people here seem to be concentrating on the nuke issue. I think that’s great, but that’s why there’s not as much planned here (as in other parts of the country).” Seminars and teach ins Nevertheless, the city of Berkeley will vote April 17 ballot initiative that would force the city to divest itself of its interests in certain corporations. Exiled South African journalist Dumisani Kumalo will speak on more than a dozen campuses from Washington to San Diego, and Wagner expects several new anti-apartheid campus groups to pop up in his wake. In general, though, “no one’s really planning to do anything militant, as far as 1 know.” Similar rallies, seminars and teach-ins are planned for the midwest and east, but, according to one midwest organizer, “there may be some direct action.” That means “nothing violent, but on a lot of campuses, the complaint is going to be brought directly to the regents.” Since the Soweto uprising in June, 1976, the anti-apartheid movement on campus has built slowly but steadily. To date, 21 colleges and universities have on a responded by actually divesting themselves of stock in certain corporations. Another 75 schools have sworn to invest only in companies that believe in the “Sullivan Principles The Sullivan Principles, written in 1977 by Philadelphia Rev. Leon H. Sullivan, a director of General Motors, are a list of six operating ethics that informally obligate a firm to integrate its South African workforce, and to work toward the end of apartheid. Convert to weapons? One hundred corporations have signed the principles. Among them is Sullivan’s own General Motors, which, according to a memo uncovered last year, has a secret agreement with the South African government to immediately convert its plants to weapons manufacture in the event of “civil unrest.” Estimates of just how much American money is invested in the country vary from $1.7 billion to $3 billion. No one has been able to come up with an estimate of just how much money American schools have invested in companies doing business in South Africa, though Stanford’s Wagner speculates “it’s probably not that much. If all the colleges in the country divested tomorrow, it’d be a really small impact. But it opens debate where there was no debate before. It makes people understand what it means to put their money in certain places.” Organizers last fall originally planned the approaching national push for March, but eventually postponed it to coincide with the end of spring break at many schools. But campuses have not been quiet in the interim. Among the more significant events since last spring’s more visible round of public demonstration: -Michigan State University divested itself of interest in 17 companies operating in South Africa, but is now in limbo because the individual regents may be held liable for the resultant losses in revenue. —The Oregon State Board of Education also decided to divest, but was over-ruled by the State’s Board of Investment. The investment board said divestiture was a political decision, and as such amounted to a violation of the Board of Education’s fiduciary responsibilities. In response, the student governments at the University of Oregon and Portland State University have since voted to sue the investment board and the State Attorney General. -Regents at the University of Indiana were also prevented from divesting by threats of suits on the grounds of fiduciary irresponsibility. -Last week Columbia University divested of $3 million in stocks from American corporations (mostly banks) extending credit to South Africa. As unfortunate as it may be,” observed a source involved in Stanford’s endowment management, “there is ‘ Fear, loathing, partying. camp in the Alsace region of France, or that the deportation of French Jews and Gypsies was suggested by the Nazis and was instituted by the French Vichy regime of Petain? In America students say; “So what.” In France they make up “la bof generation.” “Bof” sort of means “yeah, what about it?” It fits as tightly as the pants and as loosely as the sweaters. Spring is here At least some students read about the steelworker crisis up north by the Belgian border. Threatened by thousands of layoffs, workers have struck, demonstrated, occupied factories and battled riot police, all with the support of the union leaders. Certain towns in Lille and in the Alsace region have been shrouded in tear gas clouds for days, but the north is far and cold and steelworkers have nothing, iero, in common with students here. Back in Grenoble, spring is here. The mornings are still foggy but by mid-day, one is dying to romp in the sun.

Both Harvard and the Union Theological Seminary in Manhattan also endorsed the Sullivan Principles, while opting for “selective divestment.” The universities of Washington and Maryland and Ohio State University, among others, have pledged to pressure the companies in which they have invested to follow the principles, but have not actually divested. Some schools have also eased student protest by manipulating bank holdings Last June Columbia withdrew its funds and deposits from four New York banks because those banks made loans to the South African government. One of those banks, Citibank, which had nearly $1.2 billion in outstanding loans to the country, announced next month that it would make no further loans there. Wesleyan in Middletown, Conn., however, recently rejected a proposal to divest itself of stocks in banks that still do make South African government loans. Facts of geography Many of the April events, are, coincidentally enough, planned for these self-same campuses. Whether they end up the “educational activity” that they begin, is of course open to question. Most civil disobedience surrounding the issue has been spontaneous. At Michigan, protesters had been trying to get the regents.to discuss divestiture for two days, when the regents were handed a restaining order to keep the protesters from being “disruptive” at the meetings. On the third day of the meetings, the protesters showed up at the meetings anyway. A minor scuffle led to the two arrests. Various organizations, all opting for anonymity when discussing tactics, expressed frustration with the slow pace of the movement’s progress. More militant activities may be in the offing for this April. Laura Wagner of Stanford speculated that the facts of geography may be keeping the number of protesters down. She pointed out that the nine campuses of the University of California are spread out. “One campus doesn’t know what the other is doing, making coordination difficult,” she said. The same sort of problem is plaguing organizing efforts on the 28 campuses of the SUNY system. sweet strawberry milks (lait fraises) and minted water, talking all sorts of nonsense all afternoon. What a life! Where does one go from here? How to write about a city approximately the size of Buffalo, with its cafes and bars, its 30,000 students, its Alps, its liberal socialist tradition, its broken myths of prosperity for some and its success for others. .. the difference between a formal “you” (yours) and a young “yoU’*'" (tu), and how they mark the thinking and speech patterns of so many people, the fact that daily life here is so much more expensive while salaries are so much lower than in the States? And on and on. And how does one dissect a country whose history is filled with turmoil and differences on every subject from war to cheese. That those who participated in the Paris student riots of May 1968 are radically different from today’s students. So there are some parallels between American apd French students after all. When one is in love, how does one avoid painting a beautiful picture of everything. And then, in the French absurdist tradition, one can find bitterness welling, a bitterness which often makes one treat everybody like fools (comme des cons). Because, when deceived, one does not have the eyes of the world. Mn&ergraft Sngltali iHajora with beers.

In order to save the man, Buffalo police officers were forced to kill two bears. Twenty year-old Kirk Fornes Williamsville and two companions had apparently been walking along the precipice behind the bear pit at around 3 a m., throwing rocks and beer cans into the pit. Zoo officials said they found more than a dozen beer cans in the pit along with a large garbage pail and several big rocks weighing up to 20 pounds each. of According to police. Fornes's friends, Michael Oswald, 19, apd Robert Thomsom, 20, both of Williamsville, admitted that the three had drunk a case of beer between them, in addition to several drinks at a bar, before deciding to break into the Zoo by climbing over a fence. How the men got to the ledge above the bear pit remains unclear, but, while annoying the animals, apparently Fornes decided to climb down the stone-lined wall further antagonize the bears.

The Twins repeat their glory years. Chris Knapp, Don have lost some of the games’ best hitters, Aase and Jim Barr make up the remaining thanks to a stingy Cal Griffith, but as long starters.

Fergy Jenkins and the medical — — Bosox should bounce back. but Yanks are numero uno Over the last two years, the pennant race in the American League East has followed a familiar pattern with the Boston Red Sox moving out in front and opening an imposing lead over the New York Yankees before falling to the Gothamites in a magnificent and memorable race to the wire. Last year, the Red Sox, while taking aim at all sorts of offensive records, whould up setting a most dubious mark, losing an overwhelming 14 game lead. So the question sports pundits all over America are asking (Doesn’t that sound like a sportswriter?) is: Can the Red Sox recover? Answer; yes. Alright, having settled that, what about “Will the Red Sox win?” Answer: no. But they’ll do well. Unquestionably, Boston has the finest starting nine, both offensively and defensively, in the Major Leagues and no matter what has happened in the past, the likes of Jim Rice, Carlton Fisk, Fred Lynn are going to put some more dents in the new Fenway Park Green Monster. And while Jim Rice is assaulting a Ron Guidry fastball, it’s somewhat hard to imagine him thinking to himself “Gee, remember last year? What’s it all worth anyway?" Of course, neither Rice nor anyone else is going to assault too many Guidry fastballs, and the 28 year old Cajun represents exactly whjit will keep the Yanks on top and the Sox just missing: pitching. The New Yorners have an arsenal of young, old and pilfered arms which they can throw at the opposition with alarming regularity. And their hitting ain’t bad either. The offense includes speed in Mickey Rivers and Willie Randolph, power in Reggie Jackson and Graig Nettles and consistency in Thurman Munson and Lou Piniella. There aren’t too many weaknesses in this club, and if the Yanks can stay within ten games by August, they should be okay. The Milwaukee Brewers are everyone’s surprise pick of the year. Well surprise, they’ll finish third; This midwestern powerhouse has a lot of hitting and formidable pitching (Mike Caldwell shut out the Yankees three times last year) but a significant problem. The problem is that virtually every Brewer had his finest year last season and that doesn’t leave much room for improvement. And improvement, minor as it may be, is still what the Brewers need to catch New York. Despit the fact that they were depleted by free agent flight last year. the Baltimore Orioles still managed to have a more than respectable year. Another 20 win season for Jim Palmer (it was his eighth) and the blossoming of King Robinson’s successor, third baseman Doug Decinces, were the highlights of the Birds’ season but more than that is needed for Baltimore to challenge, Much more is needed from Detroit, which doesn’t have a chance without Mark Fydrich. However, the Tigers are one of the most rapidly improving clubs in the game. The Cleveland Indians are one of the most stagnent teams in the game and should be heading nowhere.

Because of the disparity between SUNY and similar institutions, Komisar remarked, “We’re always in danger of losing good people and not being able to attract good candidates. Now, we’re vulnerable to being raided.” can except for Health Science officials Since administrators president’s salary, a ceiling on only earn a percentage of, the the president’s earnings also limits his wibordinates’ income. Komisar explained that Health Science officials often receive more money than the University President because “they are compensated in accordance with salaries in the medical profession.” Although Health Science officials are compensated according to the higher education market, Komisar maintained that SUNY “is still very far behind.” He pointed out that at other peer institutions, Health Science officials may earn as much as $15,000 more than SUNY Health Science employees. At UB, University President Robert L. Ketter earns $47,800 while Vice President for Health Sciences F. Carter Pannill receives $56,000 per year. However, Ketter also receives a discounted rent on his LeBrun Road home and the use of a State University car. As a result of the SUNY disparity, two other salary related the difference between top level administrator’s problems arise earnings becomes less and less, and attracting top quality candidates for vacant administrative posts becomes more difficult. — — Really below Komisar recounted that the difference between a president’s salary and his vice presidents’ and deans’ earnings used to be “a couple of thousand dollars.” Now, he noted, “it could be as little as a couple of hundred. We're really below the market.” At this University, Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn receives a salary of $47,322 about $500 less than Ketter. Four 46,849 and University administrators here have salaries between $43 three others earn between $34,775 and $37,855. UB Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Siggelkow, who noted that his earnings are comparably higher than many of his colleagues, said there could be a problem in attracting qualified candidates for vacant administrative positions. Siggelkow, who also said it is “ridiculous” that Pannill earns more than Ketter, commented, “My complaint is that we won't get good people to replace those who leave.” One University administrator revealed that the disparity has already manifested itself here in various administrative searches. Wharton told The Spectrum that the problem is not in attracting quality people, but “not as many” quality people as SUNY would like. Wharton added that seven vice presidents and eight deans at Michigan State where he was formerly President earn more than University Center presidents in the SUNY system. Wharton also said that Chairman of the SUNY Board of Trustees Donald M. Blinken has already contacted Governor Hugh L. Carey’s offipe regarding the administrative salary problem. Wharton said that the Governor’s salary panel is examining the situation, although he “doesn’t know what they’ll recommend.” — — by Daniel S. Parker News Editor Because administrative salaries in the SUNY system are far below salaries of top leyel administrators at similarly sized schools, the SUNY system “may begin to lose good people,” according to Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton. In an interview with The Spectrum, Wharton noted that “peer’ institutions pay their top level administrators more money and that “unless the situation is remedied, the distortion is so bad that they (top level administrators) may be attracted away.” In fact, Wharton revealed, “we already have lost people Administrative salaries in SUNY are set by the State Division of the Budget (DOB) and are tied to many factor?.

He estimated its cost at about $13, the same as last year’s book. Dowd said that he will avoid last year’s Buffalonian deficit of $4000 by printing only the number of copies ordered through deposits. Four to five hundred of last year’s 1100 copies are presently gathering dust due to over-ordering, he noted. “1 have no sympathy for people who don’t show interest now and later want a yearbook,” Dowd explained. “I’d rather have it as an exclusive publication.” Some 630 seniors have had their yearbook portraits snapped about 40 more than last year. Out of 2770 full and part time undergraduate seniors presently enrolled, this showing represents 23 percent, however the portrait percentage is probably quite higher, as not all persons designated as “seniors” plan to graduate in a given year. About 75 percent of the graduating seniors who did have their portraits preserved for posterity made the $1 - yearbook deposit. Although the book’s pages will be filled with a few thousand photos, 16 pages in full color, the proposed “dynamic” sports section will not materialize because this University’s sport teams are “so dull,” said Dowd.

Wharton, in an interview with The Spectrum felt the change however innocent to be unnecessary. “If they can’t evaluate institutions every year, then have an why annual evaluation program?” Charging that the move “makes no sense,” Wharton added that if the SED aim is indeed to standardize registration, then the standard should be five years.

Yearly visits are thus impossible, making the change a bookkeeping device he said Wharton said that his chief complaint at a meeting last week with top SED officials was the uncertainties a -one-year term would create. “It will be virtually impossible to recruit outstanding persons to what could be a temporary situation,” he maintained. Wharton agrued that SED could eliminate programs without a formal cut. “They would just suddenly disappear,” he speculated. Nolan said that SED will continue its lengthy process of terminating programs. “The institution we evaluate and decide to deny renewal reviews our report and has a chance for rebuttal. If we still think it doesn’t meet our standards, we ask them for changes they can suggest within themselves,” he said. While Wharton still questioned the change and its academic impact Friday, Nolan claimed he was mystified by the controversy. “No action is required on the part of the institution,” Nolan said. “A list is sent out every six months citing program status. There are no reports asked for. Everything will happen automatically.” The brief memo is not the only thing bothering SUNY. According to SUNY Vice Chancellor for Academic Programs James Perdue, “This SED decision was one of the few not preceded by a hearing.” “Sometimes SED listens and sometimes time the it doesn’t, but opportunity this wasn’t offered,” he-said. — Tuition: $800 for 6 credit hours in summer. • ALL TRUCKED IN FRESH from THE LOWER EAST SIDE of NEW YORK CITY SED is essentially the highest educational authority in the State.

Nolan said that there will not be a hearing. He claimed, “It was an administrative decision to of inventory control the programs.” Wharton says he anticipates further meetings to discuss the dictum. Nolan says he expects the «letter to clarify all question. Some SUNY administrators say that the storm has to break before they can expect to understand clearly all the elements of the issue. �Affirmative Action component sells itself, Gen Ed short Editor’s Note: This is the second installment in a two-part opinion feature on the politics hiding in Affirmative Action component of the General Education program. by Jay Rosen Editorin-Chief The Affirmative Action component is narrowly-conceived and narrowly-defined because it is mostly meant to bolster enrollments in a narrow range of units Black Studies, Women’s Studies and American Studies. This parochialism, which cuts against General Education’s deepest principles in its failure to address cultural bias as a set of attitudes, singles out two groups of victims at a time when the University and the nation are beginning to realize that there are many more. the studetn,” “Every component’s supporters Wrote, “can benefit from an educated understanding of those who are different, as well as learning how those others the many varieties of people who constitute the American national identity view the majority.” This bit of rationale, which is more considered properly rationalization, unfortunately bears little resemblence to the program it is supposed to be justifying. While students can benefit from an understanding of “those who are different,” only women and racial minorities are different enough to be mentioned the affirmative action in component. While “many varieties” of people make up the national identity, only four or five varieties identify the affirmative action component. — — - — Other biases ignored The rhetoric gets totally out of hand when we read that the affirmative action component’s “chief goals’’ are to achieve “some sense of cutlural plurality and an active concern for all people in the society.” These “chief goals” are to be met without addressing Jhe biases against the following groups: the handicapped, the elderly, the mentally retarded, the learning impaired, homosexuals, criminals, any religious group and any foreigner. This obvious flaw in the affirmative action component was pointed out by several Senators and defended in two ways; First, it was claimed that the term “minorities,” which is used in the rationale and proposal itself, naturally refers to all minorities not just women, blacks, Puerto Ricans and Native Americans. Second, it was argued that existing curricula in the University and a growing body of this [affirmative action] disciplinary literature make curriculum is that the student women and racial minorities the constituency has been and mostly ideal ones upon which to focus an continues to be affirmative action component. minorities and women.” Th6 first explanation, of Those familiar with enrollment course, assumes the second is not patterns Studies, in Black true.

This screams at the fallacious logic in basing an affirmative action component upon the “cultural and experiences expressions” of minority groups. If the component’s supporters had used some of the principles of General Education and designed the program to explore the altitudinal network that creates cultural bias, than the “cultural experiences and expressions” of racial minorities and women would come through anyway as of an academic products approach.

This logic is nothing less than a tacit of the acknowledgement enrollment grab. (Since we have these courses, we should use them.) It also assumes that those existing courses and that growing body of literature are oriented toward General Education. — Vote correction In Wednesday’s coverage of the Faculty Senate General Education debate, The Spectrum reported the vote on Clark Murdoch’s motion to eliminate the foreign language requirement as 20 for, 29 against.

This is no bargain for New Yorkers,” Mr. Ross argued. Federal officials claim that the West be will only Valley storage “temporary.” “But ‘temporary,’ when speaking of radioactive wastes, takes on special meaning,” Ross pointed out. safe transport of the wastes from hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles away. Though LaRocca’s oral agreement reportedly stipulates the stroage of regional wastes, even LaRocca has admitted that he is not sure what this entails, and that it might include wastes from the entire east coast, or the whole country. In addition, one major provision of the “Much of the waste will remain lethal for 200,000 years, so temporary might mean Non-Proliferation Act of 1978 stipulates that the fuel used in American reactors purchased by other nations must be returned to this country when “spent” or used up.

Since 1974, NYPIRG has opposed the expansion of nuclear power generation and, in particular, has focused on the difficulties of safe disposal of radioactive waste. posing " Nuclear presently the US although several are employed in other countries. However, the LaRocca/Schlesmger pact calls for a model waste solidication project to be developed at the West Valley site. Under the deal, the federal government would “ultimately transfer the solidified waste and accumulated spent fuel to a federal waste repository. However, at this time no repository exists, and seven states have barred the placement of permanent repositories in their regions. Thus, many foresee that the NFS site at West Valley could easily become an eternal, rather than exists in riMiK ’ interim, repository West Valley is listed by the Energy Department as one of five possible sites in the US suitable for temporary storage of nuclear wastes. LaRocca has recently speculated that temporary storage would mean at least 10-15 years. Fore plan the In wake of the trade-off several citizens have charged that ongoing modification of the Buffalo and St; Lawrence Seaway ports are all “Part of the plan,” and were designed to facilitate waste transport. The just announced waste deal has been in the works for as long as 18 months. Crouse noted that Western New York would be a particularly unsuitable region for such an Away From Reactor (AFR) site, because it is an area of high population density with a high rate of annual rainfall. Water and moist air act as disperal agents for radioactive isotopes, he said, enabling them to more readily seep into the food chain, at which point they become highly concentrated and can cause announcement, cancer. Wednesday at the NFS plant site, several deer grazed peacefully on top of the muddy trenches where 600,000 tons of highly radioactive .wastes and cubic feet of lower level wastes are buried.

This area is becoming the poision capital of the Northeast, its soil covering the timelessly deadly wastes from the nuclear industry at West Valley and the more immediately dangerous residue from industrial chemistry at various dumps around Niagara Falls. The kind of nuclear blackmail played upon residents of West Valley simply cannot be the price we pay for the advancement of nuclear power. The deal secretly negotiated by State Energy Commissioner James LaRocca and U.S. Energy Chief James Schlesinger is no deal at all, but rather an invitation for disaster sent out in the hope that American technology will get to the repository of nuclear wastes before the wastes get to the workers and residents of West Valley. The struggle of the Love Canal homeowners against total financial loss and terrifying medical dangers, paired with the underhanded, backroom character of the West Valley agreement, points up one critical realization: that politics will have more to do with waste disposal and its immeasurable risks than will public safety or environmental consequences Can we create no better system for handling nuclear wastes than to sit czars like Schlesinger and LaRocca down for a political poker game of future hopes and immediate dangers? Can we not prevent disasters such as the Love Canal by toughening up on gigantic firms like Hooker Chemical before they distill poison for profit?

Should they free some of those required courses to enable their students to complete the General Education porgram? —What intellectual themes or principles should be developed across the six knowledge areas, besides the dubious affirmative action exlle^n by Jay Rosen component? —By when should the Gen Ed committee devise the criteria for judging which courses should and should not be included in General Education? Is October 1979 (the current date) time enough to develop curricula for the following fall? What will be the procedures for cross-discipUnary courses that may take in two knowledge areas and six or eight credits? How can such courses be encouraged? —By when should the basic skills component be prepared? 1980? 1981? -What can be done, or said, within the context of a General Education report to emphasize the need for a concomitant program in teaching effectiveness and evaluation? We hope that Tuesday's Faculty Senate meeting will put aside the factionalism that characterized last week's session and look at these general areas of critical concern.

If you know where to look for the gray-green shadows of scrubbed-away graffiti, you can read off the anger of generations passed. Near the first floor, the speckled linoleum steps begin to bend ever-so-light)y in their middles, the stairway’s corners become rounded in dust and stubborn scuff marks begin to dart across the baseboard. At the bottom, grime has permanently stained the naked concrete of the basement’s back-floors and the ceiling tiles are chipped and they are not missing altogether. The building is not old, by years, but it has lived through more than most of its occupants can begin to imagine. Late on a December night, when the corridors are empty and the air is motionless, you can hear in the back stairway a faint, rumbling roar from the heating system. With just a little imagination and a sagging where slow blink of the eyes, you can picture the building crumbling right there. Though the roar never stops, slows or builds, it is always gone in the morning. At 7 a.m. each weekday in Haas Lounge, the tattered, cushionless chairs of fdaing orange and turquoise blue stand ne txy in rows, back-to-back like the infantry at morning inspection. You can rest your shoes on the heat register, slide your neck down into the back of the chair and gaze out the biggest picture window in the world at a university streaming by. That pane of glass is so wide and so tall and so thick and so beautiful that it is hard to imagine anyone even daring to take a rock to it. By mid-morning, the chairs have lost some of their order; by mid-afternoon most have been moved somewhat; and by early evening, the lounge is in total disarray, the chairs turned at dozens of odd angles to accommodate small circles of friends or the studier who must prop his feet up. Newspapers are scattered about on every conceivable surface and cigarette butts litter the dulling floor. Every night when the traffic stops and a solitary reader sits, ( waiting fo. - a ride, the blue-shirted custodians dutifully reassemble the lounge, sweeping the floors clean and carefully placing the chairs back in their long, orderly rows back-to-back, with ashtrays every ten chairs or so. If you leave the building late enough, you see Haas Lounge just as it appears at 7 a.m., waiting tp be ravaged. Posters and other paper-notices part of the character of any college campus line the walls, battling for the eye at busy intersections and crowding each other off the bulletin boards like refugees on the last boat. As the week wears on, the posters and signs proliferate: riders to New Paltz, rides to New'York, sub-letters for Minnesota, charter - — — Europe, (lights to guitar, African dance, Disco On Saturday lectures on China, lessons in evening, Friday night at the movies, a moving van cheap, anything that happens or will happen is posted somewhere, somehow, on some piece of paper. And always, always, on every floor, magazines at cheap rates. Not many people know it, but every Sunday evening, the night managers systematically strip the walls of all paper so that the cycle can begin again Monday morning. There is a man who sits in the Rathskellar every night before, during and after the dinner hour and reads newspapers usually two or three, all the way through. There is another man, a medical doctor and — professor, who sits in the Rathskellar during the samahours, either talking with students or musing to himself over coffee. There is a third man, who stands in the east doorway on the first floor handing out religious literature to students who don’t want it. He is there winter,,spring, summer and fall and he barely says a word or breaks from his slight, hopeful smile. He probably sees every student in this University pass by him afleast'once. I had "to work late on a winter night last January. There was blizzard watch that evening, and the radio blared every 15 rairtutes with weather reports warning that the storm could be a rerun of the Blizzard of ’77. The building was closed early and by 10 the halls were quiet and empty. Outisde my window, the winds had pushed up six-foot drifts at the corners of buildings and torn every trace of snow from the walkways that cross the fountain area. After considering, and deciding against an all-night stay, I commandered a long blue scapf that someone had left in the office and prepared to leave, dressing carefully as 1 listened to the shrieking of the gale-force wind. I took the back stairway to the loading dock door, the only one left unchained at this hour. Pushing it open against a four-foot drift, I slipped out into the midnight air, stiffening myself for blasts of icy air that I knew had to come. After about a dozen steps, 1 stopped. The snow-streaked winds were roaring above me, forcing the trees to bend at obscene angles. Lights from the parking lot in front of me barely glimmered through the swirling haze. Tire tfacks disappeared ahead into snow drifts that shifted and reshjfted with each gust of wind. A blizzard Buffalo style. But all this was going on 20 yards ahead of me. Squire Hall’s loading tunnel, with its high concrete walls, had left me a pocket of calr', str-ngely warm air on this savagely cold night. I was standing in the eye of the storm, comfortably observing winter’s rage, when I turned my head and noticed a light left on in the third floor / corner office. And 1 thought about it for a long, long time before trudging off into the wind. — '' �daymondaymondaymondaymon feedback I VI Stop General Education To the Editor. SOAF To the Editor. To the student body: For the past few months at the University of Buffalo the student body has been besieged (seemiirgly daily) by suggested policy changes. Out of this confusion three major areas of controversy have arisen; The threatened implementation of a tuition hike, the Springer Report, and General Education. These proposed changes will effect all students to some degree, from mild incovenience for some to drastic life changes for others. Yet in all the muddle the problems students will one thing stands clear face if these changes are implemented have not been given enough consideration. Thus, in the opinion of our organization, SOAF (Save Our Academic Freedom), the rights of the students have been seriously violated. The purpose of SOAF is to insure that the the students at this University will receive the same decision-making considerations as the administration and faculty when changes are being — implemented. We specifically address ourselves to the issues of the Springer Report and General Education. Many attempts have been made to block the proposed tuition hike and we praise these efforts. However as of now no drive to block Springer and General Ed has been organized. Students at this Universi y must become aware of the consequences an increased course load will have. With the split campus it is necessary for most students to use the inter :ampur transporation system. Anyone who has stood waiting for a bus in sub-zero weather is aware that ai best this system is inadequate. To even suggest that this system can handle a far greater load is the height of absurdity. Are the administrators of this University serious when they suggest the system will be able to handle the changes the Springer Report will bring? Apparently the prospect of students waiting in the cold for prolonged periods is a r acceptable by-product of the increased course load to the administration. However it is in NO WAY acceptable to us. Even more pressing is the problem faced by students who have full or part time-jobs. To countless TJB students these jobs are what enables them to continue their education. Surely the administration must be aware of these and countless other problems yet they continue to push for fall implementation of the Srpinger Report. This clearly illustrates that the administration is grossly insensitive to the needs of students, an attitude we no longer wish to stand for. On the issue of General Education our position is clear and simple. As students we will pursue our education as we see fit.' Specified requirements within a major are reasonable and we realize they do benefit us. However, it is the right of students to pursue their own interests outside of career goals. We are not fooled by the administration’s claim that it is acting in our interest. An administration which callously suggests that the Srpinger Report be full knowledge (with of its implemented consequences to students) cannot possibly be concerned with our interests when it comes to General Education. This letter has only touched on a few of the goals of our organization and the porblems we must deal with. Anyone who shares our views on these matters and has other ideas of their own is urged to contact us and express themselves with letters to The Spectrum and Reporter. Please call 636-4775, 831-5386 or talk with us in Squire Hall. Eric Rothman member ofSOAF This letter is in regard to the Faculty Senate meeting 13 March at which General Education requirements were considered. It is evident that a prevailing negative view of students is widespread in this University’s faculty and adrrflnistration. Especially belittling are their statements that students are unwilling to take courses out of their discipline. Another crucial point is the attitude toward free electives held by many members of the Faculty Senate. The proposed General Education Program also neglects a paramount point its - proper implementation. First consider the faculty’s negative view of students. General Education is a cogent concept essential to the development of intelligent, plan well-rounded the individuals; however, introduced by the Committee which Dean Peradotto controls is constricting, regimented, and devoid of any suggestion of students’ dignity concerning their right to choose what they feel should be learned. This reflects the thinking of many in the Faculty Senate, the General Education Committee, and the Administration, who assume a repugnant idea; that the students at this University are ignorant. That implication is a personal affront to every student in this University. The necessary skills and awareness of other disciplines cannot be well fostered by such a that policy totalitarian education forces participation. Interest in other disciplines and improvement in skills must be developed in a palatable atmosphere that encourages their learning. This dynamic evolution can only be addressed by programs initiated on the elementary school level continuing on through high school. Dean Peradotto’s Proposal does not encourage learning, it mandates courses; it treats symptoms not the disease. Senator Wickert stated that no teacher likes to “teach a captive audience.” We agree. The Proposal, however, will only create captive audiences. Many introductory courses in the Social Sciences and in the Sciences foster competition measured against a bell curve. Most professors forget what it was like to be a day-to-day university student: they forget that competition is no basis for learning. Learning cannot competitive accomplished easily be a in environment. Learning should be an intellectual experience, not a punishable offense for those who cannot compete as well as others. Human beings seek to avoid punishment, hence students will avoid distribution courses that dole out such punishment. The nature of the courses involved should have been examined, not the entire distribution system. Our profession-oriented society has procreated a screw-the-course-l-need-the-grade mentality amongst students. Because of this English majors do not think of taking Organic Chemistry because of the competition with overly grade conscious pre-med and pre-dent students in those courses. The same holds for pre-law majors who will not risk a “C” in Physics 113. This is the prevailing problem with distribution requirements for students at UB. This type of environment is not a learning environment. And the new problem does not address this problem. The defeat of the Rising Amendment on 13 March, an amendment that would have reduced the number of General Education courses from 13 to 8, meant the elimination of the free elective system at this University. Senator Wickert rejected this idea stating there was free choice within the General Education knowledge areas. Wickert refered to his — - English Department as a primary example of .this free choice because of its 100+ courses. What fail to realize is that Wickert and his free; perhaps, to some perhaps the choice is students, picking an English course from this catalog is choosing the lesser of over a hundred evils. Couple that with the student' who must choose between 101, Physics 107, or Social Science 101, keeping in mind the monolith of nit-picking knowledge required to be spewed back in those courses. To many that is not free choice at all. True, Chemistry according to individual student taste. Add to this the fact that there are no non-major Physical Science courses currently available at UB. Fears will not be assuaged by being forced into a course of study students feel trepidation for due to past experience or to the nature peculiar to the particular course or courses involved. Those courses simply will not be palatable enough for the student. Consider also that not all courses offered will be considered General Education courses. Freedom of choice academic freedom for is necessary. That is why Rising’s students amendment was right for the student: it gave some freedom of choice and at least some opportunity for election. The General Education plan provides many students the opportunity to elect only two or three courses outside the General Education Program in a full college career. That does not allow for pursuit of alternate academic interests. For Social Science majors today, up to 14 four credit electives are now available. General Education will cut this by 6 42 percent. That is quite a cut and quite a blow to free choice. In other areas the cuts are worse, as much as 100 percent. We believe that students should be allowed free choice.‘A university is no place for such complete restrictions to be placed upon the mind. If Freedom is a basic tenet of this Republic, then surely freedom of choice should be ceded as a basic Right to this University’s students. Yes, knowledge of other cisciplines is essential, but not to the point where it will prevent in-depth study of personal academic interests. We do not think that the General Education Proposal will lead to the sought after decrease in attrition at UB. Indeed, it will add to it, and interested high school seniors will turn to more congenial academic havens than SUNY Buffalo, the school many chose because of exactly those freedoms now being eroded. Finally we come to one of the most ignominious consequences of the General Education Proposal the slow but certain eventual garrotting of The Colleges system. The Colleges are funded by student enrollment in Colleges courses. Three weeks ago, Dean Peradotto of DUE perpetrated an ugly, pernicious blow to The Colleges by not allowing twenty of the scores of Colleges courses to be granted distribution credit, once again denying the legitimacy that The Colleges have sought for so long. The Colleges are the very embodiment of what the educational experience should be: vibrant, innovative, enlightening, and alive. Since free electives determine The Colleges’ budget, and free electives will be dramatically reduced, The Colleges will not be able to pay for their courses and will soon cease to exist. No clear, definitive mention of The Colleges was made explicit in the General Education Proposal, nor was their role within it clearly delineated as part of the knowledge areas. This omission, we believe, was deliberate. The administration has found a henchman, they have manipulated an executioner who will do their - — - — dirty-work. In closing we address the student body. You can stop the implementation of the General Education Proposal. You owe it to yourselves and to those future students who will attend UB to do this. If you do not make a determined stand, this University will continue to walk all over you. And this University does yield to student demands: dt has in the past. Education is a Right. You have a stake in it. You pay for it via state taxes and tuition. You should help mold the decision on how you run your academic life. Do not leave this matter solely to the Faculty Senate. This University needs you, not vice-versa. You cannot let your apathy bring about your doom. We call upon the SA, residents of The Colleges, and the entire UB student body to work together with supportative faculty. Faculty Senators, and staff to bring about at least the reinstatement of the Rising Amendment. Together with you, we can beat this, but all of us have to want to beat it, and we have to organize towards these ends with clear and concise goals and methods in mind. Social Sciences do have non-major courses but they are specific in scope, thus narrow and exclusionary Ken Honig Support the Palestinians To the Editor: The Organization of Arab Students and the Arab American Federation of Western New York at Buffalo conduct a protest against the peace treaty oS Sadat-Carter-Begin. We see the treaty as an exclusive approval of Begin’s proposals and a whole sell-out of the Palestinians. The peace treaty of 1979 is a new Balfour Declaration which gave the Zionists the promise of a homeland in 1917. Now Carter is continuing the mission of Balfour to .fulfill the dreams of the Zionists in ripping the Palestinians from their human, historical and political rights. The so called “self-rule” that is proposed by the Peace Treaty is a united imperialist Zionist effort and a complete conspiracy against the human rights of the Palestinians victims. But history has proved the unity of victims is always stronger than any kind of unity amongst the victimizers. The moral decision is to join the victims against the victimizers. The urgent call of the Palestinians, who are ripped off of their homes, their human rights, their dignity, and their ancestral memories in the name of “peace” is to have your awareness vivid, your consciousness raised, and you action ethical. Raise your voice with us and say “No” to Carter, “No’ to Begin and “No” to Sadat. Say “No” to the new holocaust. Yes, can be said and must be said to Palestinian rights and justice. We call for a complete and immediate withdraw! of the Israeli forces from occupied Palestine. The Palestinians’ fundamental issue is the right to return to the total soil of Palestine the main issue is to have a home in a free Secular Palestine. Stop the Israeli Occupation! Stop the Israeli settlements on our land! Stop the massacre of the Palestinian people in the name of peace. — - Organization of Arab Students. �m t photos by Buddy Korotkln and Dennis Floss completely forgotten in the minds of Buffalonians. The building is the Delaware and Lackawanna Railroad Terminal, usually called the D&LW Station, a relic of glory Buffalo's past as a major transportation center that may fall victim to the necessities of the city's transit . future. The D&LW was built in 1917 as a major commercial link between Great Lakes steamers and the railroads. Cargoes from the freighters could be quickly and easily transferred into railroad cars and vice-versa. Ip this way, much of the produce, livestock and iron ore could be shipped to the large metropolitan centers of the Northeast at the lowest possible cost. In return, the cities sent back textiles, processed foods and machinery to the agricultural areas of the Midwest. This pattern of trade persisted for almost 45 years until 1963 when the D&LW Station was closed down. Since then it has stood empty and alone, stripped of everything of value, including its place in Buffalo as a source of pride. Now it is often described as an eyesore or a ruin. _ The DL&W: 'a relic of Buffalo's past glory' by Joel DIMarco Along Buffalo's little used waterfront sits one very old steel and brick structure that is not only unused, and in disrepair but Conflicting interests Recently, however, city officials have decided to make use of the old station, but just what to use it for has become a source of disagreement between the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA), and various community leaders and politicians. The NFTA wants to remodel the building into the LRRT's southern terminal to maintain and store trains for the new Light Rail Rapid (LRRT) project The plan calls for the Transit rr rehabilitation of much of the structure so that the LRRT electric trains may pass through the building onto a circular turn-around track for the trip back up to the northern terminal here at UB's Main St. Campus. Portions of the station would be converted workshops to for the maintenance and repair of the LRRT trains. But the main disagreement between the NFTA and the city doesn't concern the main portion of the station at all. NFTA plans call for the tearing down of that part of the stationknown as the Main Passenger Building. The NFTA claims that the building stands in the path of the LRRT train tracks and is beyond rehabilitation anyway. But some community leaders, particularly James DiBlasi of Allentown and Ed Janulionis, a local developer, would like to see the building transformed into a shopping center. Such rehabilitation projects have become the latest trend in the field of architectural rehabilitation. For example, in San Francisco, right next to the famous Fisherman's Wharf, an old fish canning factory has been converted into a popular and unique shopping mall knoyyn as The Cannery. Many city officials believe a similar miracle can be worked on the Main Passenger Building here. 'Lincoln bush design' Proponents of the scheme admit there is little in the way of murals or masonry work that is worth saving. Unlike the central train station on Paderewski Drive, the D&LW station was designed more to handle freight than passengers. Whatever may have been beautiful or elegant in the station was removed when the building was abandoned or has since been defaced by vandals and the elements. But Gary Merrifield, a UB student majoring in Architectural Rehabilitation, says that the structure alone is worth saving and restoring on its own merits. He insists that the basic structure is essentially intact despite the hopelessness of the building's appearance. Glass and other debris are strewn all over the building and there are a number of holes in the walls and floors, some of them quite large. Merrifield also concedes that "most of the roof material is giving out". However, Merrifield, who has made devising means of the D&LW redesigning an academic project of his, says the building has its good points. For example, the train sheds, where the trains routinely stopped to unload passengers and freight, are of "a significant Lincoln Bush design" and are unique.

Not a single pane in the entire abandoned D&LW railway station on the Buffalo waterfront remains intact Clouds of choking dust exist everywhere blanketing the-once regal marble tiled floor, much like snow after a heavy storm. The skeletal frame is all that remains of this cathedral-like edifice. What once housed one of the Great Lakes' busiest terminals is now in tatters: a refuge for birds, bats, vandals and bums Once inside the main lobby, the thick chalky air becomes overwhelming. A sense of emotional struggle is conveyed in the harsh contrast between the violent reds and shimmering yellows of the graffiti on the walls and the dreary dark haze of the air. Swastikas and other denigrating blurbs are splattered everywhere. Nothing is sacred in this place. All that is left now of what was once a sweeping marble staircase is the cracked foundation, glazed with a mixture of glass, wood and ice. Climbing the cluttered steps is perilous. The crunching resounds throughout what resembles a city under siege. The ice has cemented everything. It's holding the jagged debris together. Paint from the ceiling peels off and sails to the floor. Once at the top, collapsing walls brace the one time balcony which has been stripped of the brass railings. Only the fastening holes embedded in the off-white concrete remain. Steel plumbing suggests a baroque drinking fountain now dismantled. The cracked floor is visible through the ice. Broken benches are scattered, toppled about. Vandals have destroyed what they could not swipe.

The D&LW Station is currently owned by the city and theoretically the Common Council will be the final arbiters of its fate. But the Council, Mayor James Griffin and Dean Harold Cohen Architecture and of UB's School of Environmental Design are locked in a dispute with the NFTA over where the LRRT station ip the downtown Theater District will be located. The NFTA would like to build it on the 600 block of Main Street; Theater District supporters would rather have it on the 700 block. To settle the issue, both sides might be willing to swap. The Council might let the NFTA have its way with the D&LW Station in exchange for having the Theater District station on the 700"block. If chances for rehabilitating the i tiay be on even thinner ibe than The NFTA has received an ,'t. unconditional go-ahead from State and Federal officials and is anxious to get the LRRT project moving. More important, the NFTA has "eminent domain" that is, it can condemn and remove all structures, both public and privately owned, that stand in the way of the LRRT in the name of the public good. Citing this, the NFTA has set a deadline of Paril 2 for developers and architects to present viable ways of restoring the D&LW Station. Should the deadline pass without such a plan being presented, then the D&LW Station will be gone and, perhaps sadly, utterly forgotten. destructive powers. Empty shell Inside the train shed, grass pokes through the dismembered tracks. A pair of rusty black bumpers stop nothing but the wind. The roof has holes through which the wind howls. Rotting boards cover ventilation ducts. Railroad ties have been uplifted and strewn along the walkway. Through the windows one sees another empty shell; the grain silos. Visible through the train shed is the main passenger building. On its side stands a rusty and ruined staircase leading up to the tracks. Halfway up, a cold and vacuous room sits just aside it. Here, the wasted walls and windows combine with the dirtiest of tewlife existence. Here are where the bums, the Buffalo J 'street-people." sleep. A dirty mattress lies at the end of this room.

Rich Koh snatched the Vice President for Activities office, 'and Eugene Dubicki also won re-election as Treasurer. elections, held Wednesday The and Thursday, were heavily influenced by a comparative homogeneous vote, Ellicott explained Knight.

A search for the University’s worst lecture hall, begun with today’s survey of students and faculty, is expected to expose the worst offender. The Implementation Springer Steering Committee (SIS) has initiated the search in a effort to utilize room space most efficiently. An increase in course load from four to five courses next fall is expected to encourage hordes of students, especially seniors, to register for less demanding introductory courses. To meet that extra demand,-departments will either have to increase the number of sections per class not likely except in isolated cases or expand class sizes. Committee member William George, an engineering professor, asserted that rhany of UR’s lecture halls suffer from poor lighting, muffled accoustics and inadequate blackboard space. “We' have big rooms on this campus that are disasterous,” George said. Communication between instructor and students or “the educational delivery system,” as the SIS calls it, may be improved through the use of public address equipment, supplemental blackboards and a proposed system of matching instructors with classes. — — According to George, “articulate, high powered lecturers” can now be found teaching classes of 25 students, while more timid instructors are found teaching classes of 400. “We should match up the person with the class,” George said. “Anyone can teach effectively in front of 25 students.” Improving lecture hall quality became necessary when a Springer subcommittee, chaired by student representative Michael Bergstein, reported Friday that the expected increase in course demand should be absorbed by the current sections, both in day lectures and in Millard Fillmore College (MFC) night classes. Bergstein recommended that some night classes, which now hold a maximum of 80 students, Committee on statement The following is a statement from the Springer Implementation Steering Committee to the University Community: We are on record as being particularly concerned about the educational delivery system at UB particularly those problems arising from inadequate classrooms and the more intangible problems qf the ability of instructors and students to function in such rooms, We shall, in the coming weeks, attempt to identify specific classroom problems which can be individually addressed, and to raise the general level of consciousness of the University about the importance of the instructor class facilities match. - UB PLACEMENT 831-5291 li & at 7 pm in 206 Furnas Hall (AC) All undergraduate Engineering students are urged to attend.

For a project costing $3 million, the necessary industrial insurance reached $1.3 million. The project involves sealing the many chemical filled holes and ditches which have sprung up, as well as digging circular trenches to quell the outward flow of the seeping liquids. “Everybody’s unhappy about how Love Canal has been handled,” Cuddy said. “Nobody is specifically trained.” Through the State’s Uniform Relocation Act, he said, “156 families have been moved successfully relocated” out of the neighborhood at the State’s expense.

Concurred Paigen: “One women I eight met had suffered miscarriages” said Paigen. She was afraid that if she recorded this on the State survey, the information would have been made public she said. Since many of the families in the affected area were involved in the chemical industry or were used to the stench of chemicals, many of the “working class people were accustomed to living with hazards,” said UB Professor of Sociology Adelaine Levine. “Some of the residents there appeared to be in mourning,” she said. The families have experienced “role relationship alterations,” she said, due to a “loss of control over their own lives.” All of the effort the homeowners have put into the building and furnishing of their homes appear to many to be in vain, she said. “There is a great sense of weariness,” Levine said. “Their dreams are gone now.” The sociological impact of this disaster one unlike any other is particularly crucial to study, Levine noted, because “This could happen Urall of us.” Psychology — — �■p I iZT'p/p^ w fc: V- fa Frisbee Club debuts with two tough losses After spending countless hours on the road en route to Rensselear Polytechnic Institute (RPl), the UB Frisbee club finally got in a few hours of competition in their season debut, but the matches with RPl and Brandeis University could best be described as learning UB lost both experiences. matches, 18-11 to Brandeis and first goal of the year when Greg Kurtz took a swift feed from teammate Gene Pien, cat along the baseline and crossed the goal line unmolested. Later, after knotting the tally at three apiece, Buffalo sat back and watched Brandeis jump ahead 10-6 at the half and UB was unable to ever bridge the gap. Captain Randy West and the Buffalo crew were next pitted against the eventual tournament winner, host RP1. UB got off slowly in the opening minutes, dropping to a 5-0 deficit before waking up. One of UB’s returning veterans, Joe Balierczak, rallied the Bulls with some razor-sharp passing to sophomores Dan Hinckley and Jeff Evenson. Still, any scoring proved too little, too late this time, because at the final gun, Buffalo had dropped the decision 15-7. With only 11 players on Jts roster, problems UB had stemming from a simple lack of manpower. In a game that requires a high degree of stamina and sprinting, Buffalo was worn down before'the RPI event even started. As an indication of their fatigue, Buffalo ended up resorting to deep tosses instead of trying to gradually move the disc 15-7 to RPl.

Esposito said last November’s demonstration when Governor Carey was here was a definite force in the State’s move to build the gym. “The kids did a hell of a job,” he said, “They rallied around an important issue and opened people’s minds to our needs.” (psych Neal, however, was uncertain of the strength of the rally, since Phase I had been designed prior to the Governor’s visit. He was also uncertain as to why the fieldhouse was scheduled for construction the before more elaborate facilities of Phase II. “It’s one of those things that made sense at that time but doesn’t make much ■sense now,” he said. Neal guessed that since all the lockers were originally to be in the fieldhouse, the planners may have thought the fieldhouse should go up first. - Another Bubble, the twin of the one already serving as a “temporary” recreation facility on Amherst, is likely to go up soon, Neal said. Governor Carey's 1979-80 budget includes funds for the inflatable structure as well as for Phase II, he said, but UB is waiting for DOB to release them. Neal said that two or three sites are under consideration for the new Bubble. That Bubble, said Director of Intramurals an Recreation Bill Monkarsh, will be exclusively for recreation; no classes will be held there. He was elated at the announcement of Phase 1 construction, but cautioned that “we can’t slow down. We must keep pushing for the whole thing.” 8:30 pm 4:30 pm 8:30 pm 4:30 pm 8:30 pm a ln 13— 4:30 pm ■ nELPING b page . Bubble's twin April 2, 3 - . I I I Mil I m. —continued from .

Parker c News Editor Chairman Board Jane Baum broke a 4-4 tie in a tense meeting of the corporation’s Board of Directors last night, closing the doors on the explosively debated plan which would have allowed students to opt out of paying the SI which goes towards abortion coverage in the $73 mandatory student health plan. The issue had been tangled in moral and political debate since it reached the public's eye six months ago. Baum, who cast her tie-breaking vote in a silent room with both the UB Rights of Conscience Group and the Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse (CARASA) on the edges of their seats, said her first concern “was combining the most needed and the most used types of health insurance” in forming a student plan. Although Sub Board is instrumental in designing the student health plan, the policy must still be approved by the University Health comprised of students, faculty and Insurance Advisory Committee administrators and then must be approved by University President Robert L. Ketter. Sub Board has been under continual scrutiny since it made the decision to include abortion coverage in this year’s policy last summer and angered some students who felt the corporation had not acted in students’ best interests. Since then, incessant debate has flared around campus and climaxed two weeks ago in an open forum in Squire Hall’s Haas Lounge. At that meeting, representatives from UB Rights of Conscience and CARASA loudly challenged each other, trying to convince Sub Board of the problems or necessity of the abortion coverage. Thursday night, however, the mood was quite different in the small room on the third floor of Squire Hall. Both groups remained comparatively quiet, speaking only for a few minutes and'‘mostly repeating arguments which had been previously heard. In fact, votes of four members of the corporation’s Board of Directors were decided before the meeting by their constituencies. Graduate Student Association (GSA) representatives Zenebe Kifle and Michael Volan both said they were bound to vote against creating a plan with an option. Student Bar Association (SBA) delegate John Batt and Millard Fillmore College (MFC) representatives Kathy Stifler and Kurt Vande Velde were legally bound to vote in favor of an option plan. The tie was created when undergraduate Student Association (SA) Board members split the remaining three votes. President Karl Schwartz and Vice President Joel Mayersohn both voted against the option, while Matt Cornick voted for it. Thus, with only one member from the Board of Directors missing SA representative Turner and a four-four tie, Baum was placed in the precarious Robinson position of breaking the deadlocked Board. — - — — After casting the final NO vote, Baum told The Spectrum, “It was the most difficult decision I had to make all year.” Baum informed the people at the meeting that she would investigate the possibility of conscientious objectors being able to sign a waver, although no money would be returned. She noted, “The decision was a very complicated one. 1 considered the rights of both sides and feel that the consideration for the total health care of all students was most important. Rights of Conscience Chairperson Steven Krason termed the decision “a violation of human rights,” while CARASA spokeswoman Trisha Franzen said the decision “was a relief." Franzen also commented. “It shows women’s rights that have been fought for are still not integrated into society and still being threatened."

While Campus Editor " Inside: Gen Ed: parlez-vous espagnol?—P. 7 / Gale creates chaos—P. 11 / SUNY administrators reel in confusion, some speculate that SED is pulling a power play on the impotent State universities. Others view the dictum as an added spark in the blazing battle between SUNY Central and SED. Historically, some maintain, the major bureaucratic powers in the State-S'JNY Central, the Division of the Budget and SED have been embroiled in a constant struggle for power. Several SUNY administrators asked not to be quoted directly on the sensitive issue. While one source charged that the lack of explanation was an attempt by SED to “show its power,” another surmised that perhaps the reason had been intentionally obscured by SUNY. A czardom “1 purposely sent out a cover letter with the SED memorandum in order not to inflame anyone or have SED claim I am trying to smear its program,” said Perdue.

Reportedly, all nuclear reprocessing activity ceased in 1972, yet workers are still employed for “maintenance” duties and steam spews from various pipes. Everyone drives fast on this dirt road off Route 219, as if to escape something deadly. Stored within the walls of the facility are 170 tons of highly radioactive nuclear fuel rods, shipped there for reprocessing sometime before the plant shutdown. Buried below the fallow, muddy land outside are 600,000 galldns of lethal nuclear wastes, stored in two steel tanks which scientists say are already rusting. Across the trench-ridden fields, a baby blue scoop loader, abandoned train cars and several shacks sit atop two million cubic feet of plant refuse, including contaminated lab animals, pipe cladding, workers’ gloves and a 25-ton semi-trailer truck. These items, deemed less toxic than the liquid wastes, were bulldozed, uncontained,, into the soil when the plant was decommissioned. ‘Lousy’ Three years ago, the State Department of Environmental Conservation discovered an increased level of radioactivity in Cattaraugus Creek due to the leaching of wastes into trench surface wa'ter. Cattaraugus Creek empties into Lake Erie, the source of Buffalo’s drinking water. Down the road from the plant is a boarded up, broken down house, with peeling white paint and broken stairs. A radio antenna on the roof and a whirling electric meter around the back were the only indications that the building was somehow in use. Several area farmers declare that the old schooihouae is currently used for the decontamination of workers. “They keep them in there for three or four hours,” said one wizened farmer. “1 see the lights shining in that place even at night.” On the first day of spring, the group of men were standing around a dissembled van next to a rundown home. Over the tops of the trees loomed the NFS plant spire. Although the facility’s probable reopening bad been announced just that morning, the men said they had foreseen it all along. “Want to know what I think?” said a grimy, garrulous old man named Lloyd Hebdon. “1 think its lousy. My wife and I have been thinking about selling, but what are we going to get for our property? No one wants to live near a waste storage plant.” Poachers’ rights While concerned about the possible environmental hazards of radioactive leachate in their soil and water, the West Valley region farmers must rely on their crops mainly corn, grain, beans for a living. “It took the county six months to get my water checked after I gave them samples,” said Hebdon. “They said it was okay. I still got no answer about my beans.” The men readily admitted that they knew little about the level of radioactivity found previously. Perhaps more significantly, the men viewed NFS’s 3300-acre site as a blatant waste of farm land. “They only use 40 acres,” protested resident Jim Meyers, noting that the land is often trespassed for hunting purposes. “I’ll admit that I’ve never seen anything weird out there that was directly related to the plant,” he said, “but I’m still not sure about the safety of it.” He drew a paralell between the ignorance, and thus helplessness, of the West Valley farmers with that of Love Canal homeowners. Rumors and half-truths have surfaced around the unknown dangers of the radioactive waste. “My neighbor hung up sheets one day,” said Hebdon, “and when she went out again, they had turned pink.” Meyers stated more credibly, “I see plant workers around town all the time, recovering from radiation bums with these plastic bags covering their arms. “The town board, school board, NFS workers,” Meyers continued, “are all very favorable toward the plant. They don’t care what happens as long as people here don’t have to pay the property taxes.” — — West Valley waste pact may be killed by State, Fed legislators by Denise Stumpo Managing Editor KEEPING IT OUT: The gate* of the Nuclear Foal Services (NFS) defunct may just 35 miles south of Buffalo •processing plant at West Valley, N.Y. reactors, if the non open to accomodate nuclear waste from all Northeastern entativa Federal/State pact announced this week comas to term. Legislators fear hat the 'interim' agreement may develop into a more permanent hazard. - - The tentative Federal-State trade-off pact on West Valley’s wastes has confirmed New York’s worst fears that U.S. monetary assistance would be contingent on the storage of more deadly wastes at the site. Reportedly decided upon some 18 months ago, the agreement, reached Tuesday between US Secretary James Energy Schlesinger and State Energy Commissioner James Larocca, for an “eventual” provides Federal bail-out of. the $500-750 million removal and disposal costs for highly radioactive wastes now stored at West Valley. This bail-out rests upon the State’s “interim" storage of waste from Northeastern reactors; interim meaning until the government comes up with a plan for permanent disposal, a technology yet undeveloped in this country. Last year, Larocca termed the possibility of this type of waste York as for New “nuclear blackmail.”' Similarly, his chief, Governor Hugh Carey, exchange staunchly pledged to prohibit the deposit or burial of additional nuclear wastes in the State. “Larocca is now whistling a different tune,’’ noted Assemblyman William B.

West Valley could easily turn into a permanent repository.” “The Feds are saying that we’ll be storing regional wastes,” Hoyt continued, “but Larocca admitted to me that he didn't know exactly what that entailed.

Storage of any additional rods, he speculated; would require expansion of the facilities.

The new Senate is giving early signs that it will be less power-hungry than it predecessor. The Senate reversed a recent Constitutional amendment passed by the old legislative body, and struck the word “sole” from a sentence in the Constitution which states the “student Senate shall have the sole authority to amend the Constitution and the Book of Rules.” The word “sole” might have eliminated the student body's opportunity to amend the constitution by referendum.

In all, 23 new Senators were elected in the caucuses.

Senate is not Disagreement among SA officials caused a delay in the selection of four members from Sub Board .Chairman of Sub Board’s Board of Directors Jane Baum told The Spectrum Wednesday that she will nominate students whom she feels should join the Senate and her choices will be scrutinized by SA representatives on the Board. She said she will try to select people from four of Sub Board’s five divisions: Health Care, University Union Activities Board, organizations. Squire-Amherst .and Administrative. No Senator will be chosen from Sub Board’s Publication division out of fear that a conflict of interest would arise. The more critical question of minority representation on the new Senate remains to be settled.

Sparking the most interest at Tuesday’s FSA Board of Directors meeting was the decision on how to distribute the $177,000 University-wide allocated to programming.

Rather than offer the proposal as an amendment to the section where it belonged. Social Foundations professor Gail Kelley and her co-supporters insisted upon an entirely new section to explain the affirmative action component. Unfortunately, the Senate went along with this incongruous change and made the affirmative action rationale Section III of the report. A listing of the Section History, Definition and Need; II titles now reads: 1 minorities and — At a University like this, there are dozens of ways to kill General Education.

But Tuesday’s meeting witnessed several rather poorly-disguised and just as poorly-defended grabs for enrollment. In the most carnivorous display of the afternoon, one Senator defending her piece of the action brazenly predicted what increased enrollments would do for her department after the money began rolling in. As soon as we get the extra bucks, she advised, then we can develop some real General Education courses. Although most Senators probably saw through that bit of buffoonery, not as many recognized or cared about the political ploy hiding in the carefully-drawn rhetoric of the Affirmative Action component. - - — —continued on page 26— General Ed language requirement still stands compromise possible - — — by Kathleen McDonough with another motion to change the requirement to read two courses in “foreign culture through foreign language,” on the table, Peradotto noted that the Senate could “still go after it” In view of persistent student and faculty contentions that foreign culture, not language, should be required by Campus Editor Same time next week Tuesday’s discussion of General Education was productive, said Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Carver, but since Senators expressed a need to continue debate on issues left dangling, the Senate, which normally meets monthly, will hold its third consecutive weekly meeting the General Education Program, Peradotto is resigned to the strong likelihood of compromise. He is still convinced that a student can gain far more insight into other cultures, particularly those most different from American culture, through “immersion” in its language. But, Peradotto conceded, “If I can’t persuade others, I am prepared to next Tuesday. Immense goals Affirmative Action, of course, is one of those motherhood causes who can be against it? It thus becomes an effective label for an interest group which is then assumed to share the goal affirmative action represents: the active reversal of cultural bias against minorities that have been traditionally oppressed. The goals of the affiramtive action component’s supporters were in the context of the General Education immense. Not only did they seek to add report affirmative action as a totally new section and a totally new recommendation; but both changes ignored an existing section (Section V) and an existing recommendation (IV-B-2) specifically designed to accommodate such changes. Here it is inipportant to note that the second quickest way to kill General Education is to disregard the months of thought and preparation that over inevitably go into a committee report and committee objections change the wording and structure of the report to embrace specific objections. To guard against this well-known tendency, the General Education Committee worded its recommedations very generally. — - — - - Wendy’s presents Carver said Senators stuck to the main issues of the and “very little time was wasted.” He was pleased that the report of the General Education Committee, which is chaired by History Professor Norman Baker, showed its resiliency throughout the discussion. “The strength of the Committee Report is proven again,” program, bargain and negotiate.” Convene again Peradotto generally agreed with Carver’s assessment of the meeting, saying he was “happy with the sustained high level of argument.” He noted, however, that “political concerns seemed to surface” more at this meeting than the previous one. He specifically referred to a motion allowing Dean George Lee of Engineering to structure a General Education program for engineering students which would better fit that department’s strict accreditation he said. Garver had previously said that the report’s strength lay in its flexibility. He said sections of the report provide for modification of original requirements by a standing General Education Committee, well as as for development of new, possibly interdisciplinary courses. the requirements. Go after it Carver expressed some surprise at the Senate’s vote against an amendment, proposed by PoliticaJ Science Professor Clark Murdoch, which would have removed the controversial two course foreign language requirement. He said that although only about 50 percent of the Senate remained for the late afternoon vote, there is no reason to believe those present were not representative of the Senate. Twenty-nine Senators opted to retain the requirement, while 20 favored its abolishment. Dean of Undergraduate Education John Peradotto, the staunchest supporter ,of the foreign language requirement on the General Education Committee, was naturally relieved that the amendment was defeated. But, Perdadotto stressed that he was not condemning the attempt, adding that “engineers are legitimately concerned with their ability to compete with other schools.” Carver hopes that at next week’s meeting, the Senate, which had been temporarily “reformed” as a Committee of the Whole in order to provide a double check on the program, might officially convene again to view the report and its new amendments as a whole. Noting the relatively large number of spectators present at Tuesday’s meeting compared with most other Senate meetings, Carver said that people throughout the University recognize that General Ed is an “interesting and exciting issue.” fimiRl I >wW HftMWTBfiEIK Wing I OLD TASHIONXD Din) | { UN i | I One double order I of Chicken Wings FREE with the purchase of a double.

One way to help this aim along would be for the Senate to nominate a legislative leader, perhaps a Speaker, that would represent the Senate to the Executive Committee and the students. The leaders of the last Senate were characterized by their singular animosity towards and inability to work with the SA officers. And we feel that misguided leadership was the key factor in the Senate's demise. A respected, Senate-elected Speaker may help to fill the gaps in comminucation that made the old Senate's meetings chaotic carnivals. We wish the new Senate luck in restoring reason to student government and we are heartened to see some optimism around Talbert Hall. United support More indications that SUNY students are beginning to fight back comes from Albany this week. The Student Association of the State University (SASU), continuing its well-organized campaign to fight the tuition hike, drew 4,000 students to the steps of the State Capitol Wednesday in a show of unified support for SUNY. The UB brigade, while dissappointingly small at 80 persons, still outnumbered nearly all SUNY units; and we commend the students who made the trip for their concern. Only through more visible signs of resistance to the State's mistreatment of SUNY will students wrest themselves from their political impotence. We urge all students to follow the issues, with our help, and make some contribution to the tuition fight a letter, a telegram, volunteer work or anything else that symbolizes concern for the plight of University environment is not freedom from political complexities, but the freedom of students to express To the Editor The editorial which appeared in Wednesday’s an interesting and circuitous path Spectrum follows of reason Sub Board is urged to adopt a “new scoring system” to evaluate the medical insurance plan; one which is “medically sensible and publically sensitive.” The new scoring system is justified in light of what the editors call the laboratory setting of the University which enables it to “organize and conduct itself free from th( political complexities of public policy.” We are warned to avoid the “intrusions of moral preference” into medical needs decisions. That is when framing medical coverage policy we are only to consider effective medical plans without the distractions of ethical concerns. The editors cite The Spectrum's refusal to accept military advertisements and the student government’s withdrawal of money from “racist banks as example of what is possible in the unique environment of the University. Presumably their indictment of “moral intrusions” under the “new system” does not extend to these cases. If the overriding consideration in medical care policy is quality or effectiveness, then the overriding concern of the student treasury is allocation of student funds and the overriding concern of advertising policy is revenue. Meddling in ethical questions such as racism or military service clearly violates their new scoring system. Why is it then that they find these two cases so ’ noteworthy? The editors examination the might discover refreshing thing upon closer about the their views and exercise their freedom of conscience. The editors further caution us to beware of the disproportionate impact of a vocal minority. Now no one wants to be pushed around by a minority especially a vocal one. But it is abundantly clear that those who actively fighting on both sides of the issue minorities. In any policy debate, no matter what issue, it is only a relatively small number who are are the are sufficiently aroused to make their views known. If one party to a dispute can be disqualified for being a minority then all parties are equally vulnerable. The editors do make two excellent observations. In the opening paragraphs, they state that: 1) the logic of the opt-out plan is powerful and 2) from a practical perspective, it is probably better than a mandatory plan. They stop short of a wholehearted endorsement because they fear someone who chooses the opt-out will later regret the decision. They find this possibility so “agonizing” that they conclude at editorial’s end it is best not to allow anyone to choose the option. The editorial staff seems to have a very low op.inion of the student body. Apparently they feel the students are incapable of making responsible decisions and unwilling to accept the consequences of their actions. A prerequisite to any honest discussion regarding a woman’s right to choose is an acceptance of an individual’s ability to choose. Condescending views like the one expressed in the editorial are not helpful. Janine Huber — SUNY. W elcome Thursday, a new cooperatively-run publication appeared on campus. The Other One, originated by members of a College F course in mass media, has gained solid moral and financial backing in a very short period of time. We would like to sincerely welcome The Other One and express our support for competing publications at this University.

Republication of any matter herein without the express consent of the Editor-in-Chief is strictly forbidden. . To the Editor On Wednesday, March 21, the Western New York Peace Center sent Governor Hugh Carey the following telegram; The Western New York Peace Center stands completely opposed to the agreement your administration is negotiating with the federal government to reopen the West Valley nuclear dump in exchange for federal dollars to clean the West Valley site up. And we are outraged by the fact that you have been negotiating such a deal in secret for the past 18 months. Do we live in an open, democratic society? Or is this a totalitarian state where Hfe and death decisions are made behind closed doors, where the will of the people is ignored, and where the special interests of the nuclear industry take precedence over considerations of public health and safety? We cannot believe for a second, nor should you, that “temporary storage” of additional nuclear waste will be temporary in any meaningful sense. Since nuclear wastes need to be isolated for tens of thousands of years, the Department of Energy is likely to consider anything under a few hundred years as “temporary.” We have no guarantee that a suitable permanent waste, site will be found or that appropriate technology will be discovered to make permanent disposal possible. It is bad enough that we have had to live with the nuclear wastes already in West Valley. But you are further mortgaging the future for our children and their children after them. Obviously, the federal government should come to the assistance of the State of New York without forcing us to reopen West Valley to more of the nuclear power industry’s cancer-causing garbage. Your decision tp accept the Department of Energy’s backmail is an irresponsible and cowardly act. We do not want tons and tons of radioactive wastes traveling ever our highways and railroads. We do not want more poison in our backyard. And we will not let you do this to us. We will work relentlessly to expose your administration and prevent the reopening of the West Valley site. We urge all members of the University community to write Governor Carey (c/o State Capitol, Albany, N.Y.) and voice opposition to the Governor’s plan to reopen West Valley and bring more radioactive waste into Western New York. Letters would also be useful if written to New York State legislators and to our area congressmen Rep. Henry Nowak, Rep. John LaFalce, Rep. Jack Kemp and Rep. Stanley Lundine (c/o U.S. House of \ Representatives, Washington, D.C.) It’s never been more true: “Better active today than radioactive tomorrow!” Walter Simpson Peace Center Coordinator �dayfridayfridayfridayfrk feedback « <0 H 3« Peradotto’s notion Crush To the Editor. I’m troubled by Dean Peradotto’s notion of the central issue about distribution credit for courses in the Colleges. Dean Peradotto says the crucial matter is who judges the intellectual validity of a particular course individuals only, even regular faculty (like myself) who teach a college course, or (his preference) a “guild of professionals“ (his italics) who monitor in terms of a “discipline.” Dean Peradotto admits that such a guild system is only an “ideal,” and one “which many departments fall short of in practise.” He admits, too, that on such a basis, even departments may be guilty of “casual curriculum review.” (He also speaks masterfully in evasive language when he refers to the “system of extramural disciplinary controls and accountability” which departments must be “in some measure attuned.”) But all these matters of mere “practise” are as nought when compared to the “ideal” of “theory and policy.” I'm frankly amazed at such a distinction, and it strikes me that if it itself comes as the result of humanistic training, then we in the humanities ought to close up shop and sell Anacin. My training has always led me to believe that the distinction between at least a theory and practise is an intimate one relationship if not a marriage. Theories come properly either before .practise as hypotheses or after, as explanations, but in either case bear continual and close relationship to practise. If they don’t they’re revised, or the practise is brought into line with the theory. After all, the world abounds with examples of superlative theories that result in e.g., the Soviet constitution horrendous practises with its guarantees of liberty and justice as against the actual practises of the Soviet state, or closer to home the promise of quality in our own — for the benefit of the masses of students here with the maximum of my capabilities. Yet my diligent efforts to provide positivity to this University environment have been crushed in a manner that will ultimately generate irreparable harm to the students of this University. I was a Senator within the Student Association, who was elected democratically through the Student’s Affairs Task Force. Let it be known that anyone of those 1367 students who voted to crush me had the same opportunity to become a Senator as I had, and ! wish you would have exercised it because it would have “spared me the drama.” The underlying reason why 1367 students were manipulated (that’s right manipulated) into believing that my colleagues and 1 are unrepresentative of the body interesting. People! student is most Reminiscence on last semester’s internal SA conflict, a whole executive board of SA was systematically declared unrepresentative and then removed. They were removed because their political beliefs were in opposition with those of the SA President Karl Swartz. Again a whole group of students (Senate) were removed from office. Because their political beliefs differed from the beliefs of one (Karl Swartz). Karl Swartz’s power is synonomous with the power of The Spectrum, and this power structure is Fascist. It is the right of the students of this University to watch the notorious Karl Swartz and his actions. He has been quoted at the last Senate meeting saying, “David, sit down!” referring to David Hoffman. This to me illustrates the influence Karl Swartz has had over the author of this referendum and in turn the referendum, but The Spectrum has you thinking David Hoffman is independent. It is written that history repeats itself. We must now allow the history of this University to be repeated in this negative vain. Understand that the only true judge of the productivity of the Senate is not The Spectrum nor Karl Swartz, it is the minutes of the Senate meetings of which I’m sure every one of those students who voted yes, have read. Karl Swartz will continue to exterminate people whose views are different from his, if we as students let him do so. Are we students going to let ourselves live within a concentration camp with Karl Swartz at the head. Guy Gittens Former Senator of SA Anything is possible , To the Editor: — dissolving the SA Senate. The SA Senate is nothing but a gigantic joke to the rest of the University. Everytime you turn around, the Senate has pulled one of its ingenious moves like dissolving The Spectrum. It seems to me that the only reason why the Senators want to dissolve our newspaper is because it shows us how foolish they are. If the Senate feels just in dissolving The Spectrum because of'its opposition to the Senate’s actions, maybe now the Senate will vote to dissolve the student body because of our opposition. If the Supreme Court doesn’t uphold the SA Senate’s actions, they might even try dissolving the Supreme Court. Anything is referendum against “ f - - - accountability. Robert S.

Robert Lewis P.S. I don’t care if,he does graduate The NRS’s approach To the Editor Rather than being a trite “bumper sticker the assertion that people kill people discloses more truth than John Glionna cared to ■ phrase” recognize. Undoubtedly death and injury attributable to firearms is a concern to everyone whether characterized as pro-gun or anti-gun. The distinction between the two groups lies merely in what * ... corrective measures are advocated. The National Rifle Association’s philosophy is basically tWo-fold. That is, to train the private citizen to safely enjoy the recreational use of firearms and to advocate enforcement of existing legislation which will effectively eliminate the use of firearms in the commission of crimes. In keeping a firearm in the home, for whatever purpose, the best method of preventing tragic accidents is knowledge not only of basic safety but also of the potential lethal natiire of firearms. Proper storage plus mature responsibility can prevent accidents caused by ignorant or negligent handling of firearms. The second part of the program is by far more integral. Rather than passing new laws which are somehow intended to correct the ineffectiveness of existing laws, the National Rifle Association advocates conscientious enforcement of those existing laws. Those laws are clearly adequate to deal — 1 am overjoyed by the results of the student as — . I am a student at thie University whose rights just been blatantly, systematically violated. Many hours 1 have spent enlightening myself to analyzing and solving the problems of this University have the actualities of discrimination and the belated record of legislation designed to force practise into line with theory. 9In the case before us, Dean Peradotto’s £ arguments would actually allow us to approve any Jo number of what I consider to be horrendous departmental offerings merely because theory tells us that the guild system of norms has validated them. Interestingly, the Dean's criterion never works in reverse, to either test departmental offerings on a regular basis for the connection between guild theory and pedagogical reality (say every three years the usual duration of a College charter), or to banish them from distribution credit if they don’t really expose a student to a “discipline” (with all that word means). My latest atrocity story from a a psychology “student will serve as a case in point course which does not require attendance at lectures or the taking of a final exam. All one has to do, according to my informant, is stay up the night before and cram everything in for one of the three hourly exams given in the course in one psyche and out the other. Theoretically, that course has exposed my student to psychology; in practise it has done worse than not do this, it has enhanced in her a sense of cynicism and adult hypocrisy. And that’s, what I suspect a lot of guild-oriented professionally disciplined courses on this campus really do. (The effect by the way is about on par with that of commercials on TV.) 1 would prefer then that we judge the suitability of College courses for distribution credit on the basis of standards appropriate to them, and not on the basis of inappropriate or spurious notions of “guild” constitution To the Editor: with not only the use of firearms in the commission of violent crimes but also with the problem pointed out by Mr. Glionna, the importation for sale of firearms originating in other states. The National Rifle Association’s approach therefore adequately balances the need to eliminate the criminal and negligent possession of firearms with the legitimate and constitutionally protected interest of 20 million Americans to use their firearms for sporting and recreational purposes. Mr. Glionna makes the mandatory reference to assassinations at the conclusion of his article and states that Senator Robert Kennedy was killed with .22 caliber Iver Johnson Cadet pistol and laments the tact that it may take another assassination to get another gun control law passed. What Mr. Glionna fails to state is that Senator Robert Kennedy was killed by Sirhan Sirhan a deeply disturbed man with a deviant personality who posessed a weapon which no amount of firearm registration could have kept him from obtaining from either domestic or foreign sources. What is truly tragic is that it may take another assassination before we begin to try to reach these people prior to the commission of criminal acts and to try to deter others from commission of crime with the aid of a firearm by strictly enforcing the laws which we now have.

Tietjen s.t.a.g.i: Ted President �S > O. �the opposite end of The m SpcciRU* Albright-Knox displays Eight Sculptors Exhibition Demonstrating the diversity of contemporary sculptors As by Brad Bermudez solid as Gummer’s wood frameworks, are Christopher Wilmarth’s massive welded glass steel- and constructions. Solid steel foundations welded into geometric shapes allow light to penetrate the attached frosted glass at different points. Varying shades of light are projected on the glass, providing a sense of delicacy that merges with the steel’s solidity. The simplicity of design in Wilmarth’s constructions draws the viewer’s attention to the varying shades of light on the glass rather than the steel structures surrounding it. Representative is "Calling,” a trapezoidal structure with a frosted glass front on which three changing shades of light are projected. Artist Charles Fahlen’s wall reliefs (employing wood, resin, masonite, steel, rhoplex and gauze), present a similar sense of solidity. Fahlen’s choice of materials in works like "Wonderland” two diamonds connected at one corner construed of wood paneling and composition board, demonstrates his interest in textural patterns. Fahlen’s designs are rooted in Constructivist logic, calling to mind the works of Mondrian and Glarner. In at least two respects, Robert Lawrance Lobe’s "Lands End at Mushaboon” looming at the entrance to the Albright-Knox Art Gallery’s current Eight Sculptors exhibition is representative of the entire collection. Lobe’s aluminum tree trunk-rock formation is highly personal statement and it employs both unique materials and technique. But this is where the similarity ends in this collection of the latest works by sculptors Ira Joel Haber, Steve Keister, Don Gummer, Michael Singer, Christopher Wilmarth, Deborah Butterfield, and Charles Fahlen. In fact, the exhibit purports to demonstrate the diversity of contemporary sculptors. No one theme or technique dominates; rather, each work takes on the unique characteristics of the creatbr’s — imagination. - “The idea of the arrangement,” explained exhibit curator and organizer^ Douglas Schultz, “is to give each artist his own gallery to work within the space it provides.” The result is a highly diverse collection of sculptures with no particular theme other than a kind of individualistic sensibility that is reflected in all contemporary American art. Multi-dimensional Opposed to Lobe’s deceptively massive earthbound tree trunk are the floating geometric abstractions of Steve Keister With a dependence on the space of- the room, Keister’s wooden constructions (covered with materials including gum rubber, snakeskin, sued| and paint) are suspended from the ceiling in such a way that the viewer’s perception of the shape of each work changes as he moves around the room. Light also plays an important role in his work with several pieces emitting an eerie glow. Keister’s provacative wood sculptures play on a sense of transience with their chameleonic character. Altered perception plays a part in Ira Robert Lobw' *Umd» End at Mushaboon' I Aluminum tculptun foamingat axhibit entrance Joel Haber’s mixed media dioramas of nature scenes, offering two simultaneous viewing dimensions. Haber’s works could be considered the sculptural equivalents of Escher’s multi-dimensional etchings. His dioramas consist of paint spattered plastic model houses enveloped by miniature trees, rocks and shrubberies appearing to grow unchecked by any kind of human, interference. The scenes are planted on the floor of wall mounted glass enclosures and run up the back walls to provide the Escher-like sense of disorientation. The result, in works like "The Edge," is a surrealistic journey through imaginary landscapes in which nature has run amuck. “The Edge’s” aerial view of a seascape eeri(y beckons the viewer to literally jump over the edge. Solid In contrast to Haber’s loosely constructed landscapes are Don Gummer’s precise bridge-like wall reliefs." Gummer’s interest in architecture is clearly evident in works such as “Crossvault” and "Courtyard,” both solid wood frameworks constructed on three different planes painted black, white and grey to heighten die effect of depth. Artistic freedom Deborah Butterfield and Michael Singer are each represented by one piece. Both express a reverence for nature evident in use of mud, sticks and straw in her "Four Horses’’ and Singer’s use of rocks, branches and wood slats in "Ritual Balance Series.” Butterfield’s simple life-sized fhud and stick horses brings back one’s childhood wonder of nature. Singer’s wooden contrastingly complex "superstructure” seated on rocks several inches above the floor, celebrates nature with its vertical bunched of tree branches that appear to ceremoniously reach for the heavens. Eight Sculptors successfully exhibits the individualistic freedom of interpretation that has been the goal of all ahlsts in the past decade. The exhibition will run / through April 29.

His struggle and reactions wfere as vivid as the shock from an ungrounded microphone, and we found ourselves drawn into his mania as if it was our own McVan’s is a strange place. It has a wide room with low ceilings. This main room, which contains the stage, dance floor, and tables is very dim and dotted with supporting arches. The total effect is that of a subterranean level of a coal mine. Dust is rampant Sight lines are terrible, and one can see what’s onstage only if nobody is dancing, since there isn’t really a stage at all (in the sense of a raised platform). It’s an okay place to dance, but it’s (os's than optimal for a concert. Nonetheless, some of the area’s most exciting music happens here; you won’t find the Vores at Kfeinhans or even at Stage Qne. Unfortunately, the deficiencies of the setup at McVan’s prevented much of the audience from having a chance to fully experience Caie’s music. The jumpers opened for Cale. They are local heroes, and not without reason. Their energy never flagged; their stage presence catalyzed the crowd and had them, well, jumping. But it seems that with the departure of Bob Kozak, their previous rhythm guitarist, their sound has suffered a bit The lone guitar work of Scott Michael is simply not accurate, varied, orrhythmically interesting fenough to carry the melodic weight of the whole band. And while much of their songwriting is excellent (having th6 feeling of "instant classics"), their new single “Sick Girls” seems a shameless Etvis Costello rip-off: the chords taken from “Lip Service,” the words from “This Year’s Girl.” „ - Cale came out into general darkness, as was his preference. He wore a classic punker’s uniform: white shirt and skinny black tie, leather pants and arc-welding goggles. They launched into a slow, hypnotic riff, but as Cale began to play, he was greeted by strong electric shucks from an ungrounded microphone. (Les Harvey, former lead guitarist of Stone the Crows, was killed onstage from similar shocks a few years back.)

The record is a carefully and strategically conceived planned exercise in unrelenting vocal, musical and verbal ferocity. With a kind of divine madness, Tonio K. creates worlds from words and then destroys them by means of a progressive psychotic into degeneration chaos. The opener, the title song, indicates, in one comprehensive statement, the major themes and directions of what is to follow. "We’re talkin' about the good life in the foodchain.” Eating is the metaphor central here: “Everybody’s hpngry and there isn’t quite enough.” But we also the personal side, the paranoia which results from living where "it’s dog eat dog and it’s cat ancl mouse:” AjONRWQmOOUCtCN ANfMVtRRMfVHM fayedunSaay TOMMY LEE JONES ‘EYES OF LftJJRA MARS' atfiRWOOW «M MROOI Bj • «* JO*CAflRMW a«0«R> RUG OOQCM* Auc^nntr.itUMAMK »«W terntRiWUinttoi' RM iro t»MMPA <;tw mm ***c P» WH iC*M T MIDNIGHT SHOW Friday Saturday £ noa»^aox>..«UtR 5SSJ«iaaS!«R " .. . Vampirella Unfortunately, these cuts are left unenhanced by their rather mundane melodies. In fact, the major shortcoming of Life in the Foodchain is found in its musical Not composition. many memorable hooks, just a lot of standard lightweight heaviness. Textural variety, as on the title tune, helps in some cases as does the performance of the band (including Albert Lee, guitar; Garth Hudson, accordian) in Given so violent and recondite it is this, as a world understandable that the narrator would turn away from such horrors and look inward to his emotional being, the subject of side two, subtitled Love Among others. the Ruins. Given the relative weakness of The side kicks off with a "Better Late Transitional piece, a blend of the "How Come the emotional Than Never” and “A Lover’s and political appropriately, Plea," Life in the Foodchain entitled, “American Love Affair.” It’s the might have been a one-sided story of a self-made man who has classic if it weren’t for the “sold off all his old friends and dynamite closer “H-A-T-R-E-D.” “The Western Funky bought up the past” and a woman Like Civilization,” her “H-A-T-R-E-D” buy you who "If diamonds/She will always ask how 'relies on a conventional song type the “mellow song.” The cut much/ But never why.” The chorus, which tells us that an begins with only a frail voice American love affair is "-just an accompanied by an acoustic guitar — You He on your bed in the midnight darkly Listening to every sound Watching the shadows for anything moving And hoping they don't come around. Funky “The Western Civilization” follows, and it’s a Funky killer. The Western Civilization is "a brand new dance craze, sweeping the nation,” and like its The f 9 rebears, Locomotion, The Twist, etc., it features honking saxes, a steady backbeat and even a surfin’guitar run from, of all people, Dick Dale (The Deltones, remember?). But in a civilization where "they put a hole in J.F.K.” and "they put Hitler in the driver’s seat,” the steps are done a little differently. Instead of throwing your hands up and swinging your hips, "you just grab your partner by the hair/Throw her down and leave her there.” Dr. Sardonicus Violence of a different sort pervades "Willie & The Pigman.” Ostensibly a talg of a little man who steals a union payroll, the song summarizes its threat in the chorus: You don't tangle with the ruling class Unless you’re prepared to take Because they can dish it out from now until 1999. Cai*W*CU*$*E»fS Uncle Sam carry the plans for a new object of faith and Attila the Hun’s Austrian son launches V-2’s at anything that moves. "The Ballad of the Night the Clocks AH Quit (And the Government Failed)” is actually an upbeat blues boogie with wailing slide guitars, close in kind to Bob Dylan’s “Highway 61.” In fact, the song could almost be middle-period Dylan with its oblique imagery, sardonic humor and ruinous landscapes. Using historical and mythical characters in contemporary settings (another Dylan device), Tonio K. fashions a rather abstruse tale of bosses and prisoners, armies and renegades, agents and clowns. The tone is clearly socio-political, in keeping with the rest of the side, but equally important is that this world has degenerated into an incomprehensible, jumble. What started out as a dance craze called The Funky Western Civilization has deteriorated into a mad ritual in which )ohn the Baptist and Tales of love among the ruins Tonio K. unravels lyrical fiddles American dream,” is sung to a march-cadenced dmmroll which, at the fadeout is cleverly transmogrified into the sound of tramping boots. "How Come I Can’t See You in my Mirror?” is next, a question which the singer asks of his Vampirella lover. By association a song of sexual revulsion, it suffers from the album comedy syndrome; hear it once, it’s funny, but when the joke wears off, there isn’t much left "How Come .!Is the first of the three weakest songs on the album. "Better Late Than Never” and “A Lover’s Plea,” are, respectively, a baby-let’s-caINt-off song and a baby-please-don’t-go song. The central concern of each is.violence. From "Better Late Than Never:” • Put up the flag And lay down your weapon This perpetual battle royal here Is rrlong way from heaven. Lightweight heaviness It’s not so much that this sort of thing is ottensive. Rather, it is merely tiresome. It is at this point that the concept of the. album wears thin and descends temporarily into gimmickry. singing oh-so-sweetly about the end of a'Vomance. Pause. “But let me put it another way ... OK?” The song then erupts into an awesome barrage of white noise all snare drum and feedback and the vocal is a tirade of pure manic intensity. Just as the political slates of the first side degenerate into meaninglessness, the emotional states of side two descend into childishness. It is a kind of self-conscious infantilism: / dd wish / could accept all this As simply life which includes - pain. But this awareness doesn’trestrain him from fashing out at any handy target: the woman he hates, sad-hearted lovers who cry in their beer, and even everyone's favorite boo-hoo boy, Jackson Browne. The Jtwo sides of Life in the Foodchain, parallel then, undergo a development; a world is created progressively and destroyed. As much as the merit of the individual tracks, it is this conceptualized and balanced construction that makes Life in the Foodchain a noteworthy album. And his mad, iconoclastic stance makes Tonio K. an artist to watch out for (in every sense of the phrase). �Underestimating intelligence Spring has finally arrived in Buffalo, bringing with its warmth two separate events illustrating the problems facing the release of certain major films in this city. Terrence Malick’s second film Days of Heaven finally opened up at the Holiday Theater and French director Bernard Blier’s highly praised Get Out Your Handkerchiefs is closing this Tuesday after a mere two and a half week run at the Maple Forest 2. Both the opening and closing are indicative of the stumbling blocks placed in front of quality but often non-commercial films. Originally released three months ago only in New York and Los Angeles, Days of Heaven had its Buffalo opening postponed for three weeks. Whether the delay was due to Paramount Pictures’ (the film’s understand Days of Heaven Because of their constant exposure to cultural events and art, residents of these cities are more likely to anxiously await and then stand in line for the opening of a film like Days of Heaven (as was actually the case in New York), but their environs do not necessarily make them any more, qualified than Buffalo film buffa when it comes to appreciating the film. Undoubtedly, there exist everywhere those who prefer "being hit over the head.” What is important is that those preferring subtle artistry be allowed the opportunity to view it and not have to wait later than anyone else regardless of businessmen’s doubts about their respective city’s so-called sophistication. Give us some room for credit.

What is known is that the worry exists, and in the end, all moviegoers lose. Two weeks ago in this column, I stated why I felt the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences neglected to honor Days of Heaven with a Best Picture nomination. I said that it ‘‘is too artistic for the Oscars and probably for anyone unwilling to sit and be softly lured away as opposed to being hit over the head with a message steeped in symbols.” For both the production company and the exhibiting theater to worry about its film being too artistic for its audiences is to underestimate the intent and intelligence of its audiences. You do not have to come from New York or Los Angeles to The shamefully brief fun of much lauded and awarded Get Out Your Handkerchiefs does not bode well for the livelihood of first run foreign films in Buffalo. Despite the fact that they too take their time in getting released here, for the past year or so, quality foreign films were accessible to those of us not intimidated by a tongue other than our own. The Allendale Theater in Allentown only shows foreign films, but not usually first run. It was the Maple Forest Theater whose owner Earl Lynge expressed, way back in the fall, a commitment to exposing local filmgoers to only first run foreign films. And for a while it did with some success. We were treated to such gems as And They AH Loved Each Other So Much, Madame Rosa, and Vio/ette. But /they never ran for too long. Get Out Your Handkerchiefs is the first foreign film to play at the theater in almost a month. For that time period, in a move motivated, I suspect, by low box office returns, the theater ran re-releases of such popular moneymakers as Magic. Pessimistically, it is a real possibility that the Maple Forest will choose to return to this. And once again, true film buffs will lose. Much has been said in the Prodigal Sun about supporting the local arts, now it’s time to say what shouldn’t have to be said at all Support all art! If a film doesn’t sound as exciting as Jaws or as escapist as Star Wars, don’t just drive or walk by the theater. Take a chance on something new.

Hints of pain The crux of the play deals with the romance between Ersi Victor Vivelii, a second rate opera singer. Before her marriage, the two had been lovers and now, unattached once more, Ersi wants to continue the affair. Much to her chagrin, Ersi introduces her beau to Paula, a glamorous friend who seduces and wins Victor. Again, the seed idea of the play is viable and interesting enough but through poor execution comes off weakly. In his program notes, the author states that people of great passion, when viewed from the outside often seem heroic and ridiculous at the same time. Granted that people in love are not always the most rational, but Ersi’s behavior is unbeliable in any context Orkeny says that she is driven to this end by jealousy. Never once does any of Ersi’s heroism show through in this production. The author pays only passing due to any of the real pain in the protagonist’s life.

The film raises fundamental Tht hard work of whiit harvwt btgim 'Days of Heaven' Is a film full of beautiful images questions about what movies are and what they ought to be. invariably Narrative films incorporate three elements: a cinematic element (photography, direction and editing), a dramatic element (scenario and acting), and a literary element (dialogue and theme). Days of Heaven, though emphatically a narrative film, reformulates the usual arrangement of these three To sustain his components. theme, director-writer Terrence Malick relies more on the cinematic than the dramatic. Many people have lambasted Days of Heaven for its shift in action and from emphasis characterization to images. David Denby, film critic for New York magazine, says that the film is “one of the most perversely uninvolving, undramatic, and senseless films ever made it’s a zombie masterpiece.” While I’m not sure I agree, I can certainly sympathize with Denby. Days of Heaven lacks the usual dramatic conventions we associate with pathos and meaning. Malick etherizes the film’s conflicts and conversations by cutting away to inserts of wildlife and by either visually or aurally obscuring the characters. When furnace-stoking Bill (Richard Gere) gets into an argument with his foreman, the deafening throbs and booms of the factory overwhelm their words. We never know what the argument was about. This dispute escalates into a fight in which Bill accidentally kills the foreman, causing him, his girlfriend Abby (Brooke Adams), and his kid sister Linda (Linda Manz) to flee from the tum-of-the-century slums of Chicago to seek refuse in the wheatfields of the Texas panhandle. Despite the obvious narrative ’'importance of this sequence, Malick gives us its image and neglects its dramatic details. Throughout the film, he immerses his characters in scenery and we are forced to divide our attention between the actors and undulating fields of wheat, broad and bare landscapes, and billowing clouds of smoke. Flat and understated dialogue and a crusty and often platitudinous narration by the apocryphal wise child, Linda, smother any pathos we might see. All that remains is the image and the idea. — ... Isolates characters This dramatic and literary sterility also characterizes, though to a lesser degree, Malick’s first film. Badlands. That film chronicles a teenage murderer and his girlfriend in their run from the law. Despite the dramatic possibilities of such a scenario, Malick treated his characters as cinematographic foci for his thematic intentions. In a review of Badlands, I wrote that “the theme is what really is being presented. The characters are men moving within messages. They are manipulated exemplifications of a conclusion Malick has already made in a screen bursting with bare skies and bare horizons. They have no motives because only people have motives; ideas have only status. And of these, wt are informed with all the dispassion of a history prof.” The same thing can be said of Days of Heaven. Malick so powerfully isolates Bill, Abby and Linda photographically that their dramatic separation is virtually redundant Malick lacks the art that conceals art. We are forever aware of his creative influence behind the camera, aware not of the creation but that it is created. This robs his films of emotional immediacy. But I wonder how much weight to put on this. Terrence Malick is developing a new way of telling a story not dramatically but visually. Avante-garde or experimental cinema does the same thing but outside the usually whole narrative tradition. Malick to be sure is retaining (to his credit) the format using story it unconventionally. Stanley Kubrick’s beautiful and brilliant Barry Lyndon in its mimicry of Renaissance composition certainly provides a precedent for Malick’s latest film. But Barry Lyndon has the definite plot line of Thackery’s novel. Days of Heaven, written as well as directed by into the gives Malick, image-fixation Barry Lyndon toyed with. As such, Days of Heaven may be the first avante-garde film of the narrative tradition. - Tone poem While the motives for Malick’s fascination with images can only be inferred, there is no question as to why we are so fascinated. Malick is a poet of pictures. His choice of shots, while not always salient in terms of message, is consistently rapturous. Director of Nester Photography Almendros’ colors make the film. We are carried along, not by plot, but by magnificent eddies of blue and gold. The film’s crowning sequence is the locust attack. Editing, direction, photography, and music (written by Ennio Morricone) come together to form a tone poem of buzzing insects, swaying latterns, smoke and flames. This is unequivocably one of the most sublime moments in cinema. And yet, what does it mean? Is it a biblical reference? At present, I cannot claim a full understanding of the film. This might seem a curious admission for a critic (who is, after all, a professional observer) but a film is a complicated thing requiring multiple viewings and ample time to mull over. But this is a luxury I am not blessed with. Still, I think my comments here are a necessary part of a wholistic understanding of Days ofHeaven. A critic never has the final or first word on a film. He is an active viewer always altering his experience of a film to find a place for it in his mind. You must see the film for yourself. After all, that’s what films are all about: not words on a page but images on a screen. With this in mind, I think you will (as I have) stop worrying and come to enjoy and even love the photographic indulgence of Days ofHeaven. �i Ol Norma Rae's personal growth Uplifting story of a maturing woman by Harvey Shapiro At one point in the new Martin Ritt film Norma Roe, Sonny, the husband of the heroine says, "Big companies get everything they want.

Much the same can be said of Ron Liebman. Also known for his TV work, Liebman is excellent in probably his best film role yet. Also deserving of mention is veteran actor Pat Hingle as Norma Rae’s father. Hingle’s rqle adds a bit of generational feuding to the script as a father who cannot understand why his daughter is causing so much trouble, yet who loves and backs her just the same. Hingle ably portrays the confused yet compassionate parent. Questions? But all is not perfect with Norma Rae. Unfortunately Ritt’s two themes do not conclude satisfactorily, preventing the film from emerging as a masterful work. At the end, we are left hanging as to what Norma Rae will do with her freedom now that the union fight is over. Similarly, we do not know what the workers will achieve with their union. Will it provide decent wages and benefits or become an exploitive tool for the factory executives? Despite its ambiguous conclusion, Norma Rae is weM worth seeing and certainly one of this year’s better films. Now playing at the Maple Forest 2. • Vintage violence —continued from . . page 11— .

Love Stones by New Women is a brilliant collection of short stories which does exactly this. Printed by Red Clay Books, a woman’s publishing house, Love Stories seeks to uncover women’s changing sense of self and how they apply this knowledge to their relationships. Instead of revamping stories by tried and true women writers, editors Charleen Swansea and Barbara Campbell collected stories from new writers all over America. Eighteen stories were selected to publicize the female struggle against traditional values and norms. Men are not seen as the sole objects of love and hate.

Some find solace in other material objects, or from animals others look inside themselves in their battered self-images. Some discover the only way to find strength and self-esteem is to remain alone. Such is the conclusion of “Learning to Meditate,” by Helen Barolini, whose main character is criticized and scolded for refusing to remain an appendage to man, after she is widowed. Another heroine arrives at a similar conclusion in Barbara Level I’s'story, “A Woman in Love with a Bottle,” where the crystal Smirnoff bottle becomes infinitely more enticing than any man’s body. By the erotic and humorous parallel between drinking and making love, Lovell escapes writing another tired, alcoholic housewife cliche.

Manipulated by her continuous train of illusions, we are bounced back and forth from our world to hers, shifting from the images of a My favorite in the collection is a short piece called "The Wedding Trip” by Lloyd Rose. The story follows a nervous, virginal bride who behaves as if in a trance throughout her wedding and the car trip to a hotel. While driving, the couple pick up an odd woman hitchhiker. Like a Hitchcock film, the detailed images grow more and more ominous until they erupt in sudden, unexpected violence at the end, leaving the reader stunned. The stories differ widely from each other in style and structure. While some stick to straight narrative, others experiment freely. Although a few of the stories suffer from severe overstatement and plot confusion, on the whole, they are well developed and organized. All are written with intense honesty and a direct emotional force combining to personally involve the reader. Absent from this collection is the stereotype of ‘flowery’ language often associated with women writers. Not only can we (earn a great deal about writing from Love Stories, but we can also come to a better understanding of the new and complex problems facing modern women within our relationships. Men, as well as women, will benefit from this book.iBy asking unanswerable questions in an innovative, explosive way, these ‘love stories’ will surely help anyone who seeks to know more about him/herself and others in our changing society.

In such situations, I feel the need to play devil’s advocate in an effort to encourage Socratic dialogue. However, my criticisms were spumed and I was rebuked as an “outsider.” The panel continued with their incestuous pander, more like cheerleaders than the critics they claimed to be. (Harold Goldberg attempted, to rouse some spirit of criticism, it should be noted, but he tended to be ignored by John Martin who openly favored the “stars.”) I tiled to explain that I was not an outsider, merely not an insider. I am not immersed in the stories and characters of these afternoon melodramas. I have logged many hours watching these soaps but not so many that they still don’t seem new and different to me. As such, I am in a position to notice more: camera movements, dialogue, acting, sets, etc. Mr. Reed and Ms. Soares tried to tell me that because I don’t watch soap operas regularly, I couldn’t possibly know anything about them. Cow cookies! Obviously soap operas are serials and I have'watched them serially over periods of one or two weeks. The assertion that I must watch them for years is ridiculous and is an example of what Harold Goldberg called “low-brow elitism.” I have seen how a soap opera moves from day to day and I have tried to understand why it has such a “pull” over the long haul. It’s not the characters or the situations because seeing one episode provides no incentive to ever see another one again. Something happens in one or two weeks, something to do with the homey security of inertia, that drives us to watch afternoon after afternoon. If this is so, then soap operas are interesting, not only in that so many watch them, but in the formal aspect of its addictiveness. All this and more I was not permitted to contribute. John Martin, whose scabrous local interviews make Barbara Walters look subtle, finally demonstrated that the theatrics of the situation were against me, forcing me, for the sake of grace, to be silent Stepping outside his role as “moderator” he attempted to humilate me by asking with flourish and bravado, if I’d ever written a column on soap operas. I haven't and he seemed to think that settled the matter. Of course it didn’t writing a column proves littfe and not writing one proves nothing. But I let it pass it didn’t matter and nobody cared. Secondly, some weeks ago, I was accused of stating the obvious in my column protesting the disembowlment of Tax! Driver on TV. I JuSt wish to note at this time that Film -Comment magazine devoted a column to the subject, reporting the considerable controversy surrounding the incident. Obvious or not, apparently it is newsworthy. Finally: New York magazine published an article saying that Alex Haley admitted to falsifying much of Roots, creating artificial characters and incidents. Kunta Kinte is emphatically not Haley’s ancestor and the meeting between Haley and that American Nazi leader is almost totally fabricated. Furthermore, he has conceded to plagiarism.

First, the continuing problem of overcrowding of the Law Library by non-Law students (mostly undergraduates, we presume) surprises us. Since June we have had available just next door a very attractive and comfortable facility for studying and browsing. There are quiet carrels and study rooms available, and our hours are, in general, longer. Maybe these students who prefer studying at Law could tell us what we’re missing! We’d like to know. 1 We do have lots of students here, however, and some of them are devout smokers, which has raised a few testy comments from both smokers and non-smokers alike. It has to do with the mess that some smokers leave behind which is offensive to Several Student/Libraries - — everybody and worrisome to us since much of the carelessness presents a fire hazard. We’d like to appeal to smokers to use only the designated areas on the ground floor and to be more careful with lit cigarettes. Fines came up again. There seemed to be some uncertainty about the procedure we follow in charging penalties for lost and overdue books. We are preparing a handout outlining those procedures and giving some tips on how to avoid the fine trap in the first place.

We’d appreciate your help. Norma Segal Acting Undergraduate Librarian Carter’s approach To the Editor: In response to Tom Batt’s article on Carter’s saving the Mid East Deadlock, I write. Carter has been producing blunder after blunder in foreign policy, all at the insistence of Brezinski, Schlesinger and Brown. His advisors are essentially telling him, “if you fall off during the low tight wire act, then try crossing the higher wire.” This shows on Carter’s part an incompetence that should never have gotten past grad? school, let alone into public office. The reason how and why Carter acts is because he is out of touch with reality, and relies on his anti-American advisors to pull his “strings.” separate a possibility With the of Israeli-Egyptian peace agreement, the stage is set for another Mid-East war. Carter, Sadaat and Begin have enraged Arab nations by refusing to settle the issue of Palestinian rights along the west bank of the Jordan River. This has always been the most volatile area of dispute between the Arabs and the Israelis. Failure to even consider that issue makes Carter’s “peace” proposal a mockery of his own “Human Rights” policy. Statements made by the administration in the past 'months have made explicit Carter’s policy of provoking a war in the middle east against the Arabs, the major financial particularly Saudi Arabia backer of the France-German instituted “European Monetary System.” On the eve of his “peace” trip, Carter invoked emergency legislation to bypass Congress and ordered $390 million in arms to be delivered to Saudi Arabia. This was done against Saudi leader Prince Fahd’s arguments that a massive arms buildup in the Middle East would only increase the chance of blowing up a border clash between North and South Yemen into a full scale war. Shoving arms down the Saudi’s throats can only increase the coup possibilities of renegade Royal Family Prince Abdullah. National Guard Chief Abdullah opposes Prince Fahd’s policy of fostering regional stability by cooperation with Iraq, Syria, humanistic approach — Jordan; and improving relations with the Soviet Union. A coup by Abdullah would cease Saudi emerging for the now support financial pro-development alliance of France, West Germany, Mexico, Soviet Union, and Saudi Arabia around a new “European Monetary System.” Since the Soviet the destruction of Union will not allow pro-development EMS forces nor the consolidation METO in the of anti-Soviet military alliances middle east, Carter’s “peace” proposals, if made official American policy, will only lead to future Mid-East wars and confrontation with the Soviet Union. Carter’s “peace” initiatives are an excuse for turning the Mid-East into an “armed camp” and are the world to the very brink of bringing thermonuclear war. What is needed now is a complete reversal of current “American” policy which is pushed by the likes of people such as Kissinger, Schlesinger, Brown, Javits, Brezinski and Carter. What is needed is peace initiatives through cooperation with the European Monetary System to develop third world countries. This will foster trade throughout the world and economic interdependency between all nations, in other words, a new world economic order based upon cooperation. This is the only way peace and prosperity can be achieved. At this time there is no Democratic Presidential hopeful who will stand behind these issues. The Republican party has six presidential hopefuls for the 1980 primaries. This means that the Republican with the most political backing behind him will be the Republican nominee. This will be NATO general Alexander Haig, a known anti-Soviet “hard liner.” Since neither the Republican nor the Democratic parties will offer a presidential hopeful who will avert the war danger and set our national policy back to the policies of our founding fathers, we need the rise of a third major political party in the tradition of the “Whig” party, that succeeded in the election of Abraham Lincoln. — — Erik Sien * Billings * « * It's a feeling that slowly descends upon you.

With the maximum fine of up to S 10 per item or $45 if the material is lost, now-a-days — a University member could go broke from negligence, According to Lockwood Acting Head Diane Parker, the system of high overdue costs is designed to induce prompt return of material needed by other patrons, and to cover the cost of material replacement. Loan periods vary from two hours to one semester, according to the type of material borrowed. Fees and charges range from 25 cents per day/per item for special borrowers (non-University members), 25 cents per hour (maximum $ 1 per day) for reserve material, 50 cents per day/per item for sources on recall, and 50 cents per day/per item for art material. Fines not paid within 30 days force a student’s school account to be bursared, while faculty/staff and special borrowers (friends, etc.) are billed and subject to suspension of library privileges until payment or return of material. Lockwood offers special services to facilitate borrowing. For faculty members, a proxy can check-out and return materials to the library. For students on official leave from departments, a “courtesy card” with semester loan, priviledges or a “Friends of the Library Card”, entitling the holder to a maximum of five books for a month is issued.

Men and women alike claim that males are privileged members of society, having all the power and advantages. Feminists, outraged at the abasement of women, protest their “oppression by men” and characterize them as the enemies of women, hurling epithets like - 882-8ZOO “male chauvinist pig.” What is now only being realized is that men, in their role as oppressors, are themselves oppressed. The demand to be forever masculine, forever dominant, drains away life and stifles potential as effectively, if not more so, as the insistence on female subservience. Overprivilege, male liberation activists claim, can be as oppressive as underprivilege. Men are the victims of a sexism that deprives him of his feelings, his health, his spontaneity, his affections. This larceny of life begins early. Raised and cared for by his mother, a boy is naturally attached to her for his physical and emotional sustenance. But as he grows, he is pressured to become independent and self-sufficient. A boy must withdraw from his mother and rebel against her feminine infusions of dependency and effusiveness. He must shut himself off from the seminal source of life and love to spend the rest of his days battling and concealing his efnotions. To do elsewise is to be labeled a “sissy” and eventually a “faggot.” *\J0 ’ \v\i V 3©' c«ee' V*®*' 6& H- A1 on , Fri. p„ t „t s.th Bond I, int 10.00 5.00 To achieve full manhood, a male cannot show fear, admit vulnerability, or display, dependency. He resists asking for help, preferring to “go it alone.” Often, the pressure to be masculine overrides his natural survival instincts. He would rather isolate himself from assistance or expose himself to undue danger thah to be considered effeminate or a coward. A man is denied the Catharsis of tears and is forced to hoard his grief. As a result, the suicide rate among men is three times that of women. Men are even refused their anger. Although violence and belligerence are normally considered male domains, his resentment is restricted to chivalric modes —the concept of fighting for honor, for example. Otherwise, he must contain his anger and maintain a stance of control and cool rationality. Stoic, persuing an icon of self-sufficiency, men tend to ignore their emotional life often leading to a dry and mechanistic existence. His inability to flush out his feelings into the open, where they can be dealt with, is blamed for the much higher incidents of suicide, psychosis, and crime among men. No easy targets The pressures to conceal weakness and debility cause men to ignore their health. A man has to be tough, oblivious to pain, always arising above sickness. Doctors have failed to find any physiological reason why male life expectancy is lower than that of women. Many experts have concluded that it is the masculine role that robs men of life, subjecting him to higher rates of heart disease, emphysema and arteriosclerosis. The male sex life, as well as his emotional and physical lives, is sabotoged by the cruel levies of Rooties Pump Room masculinity. Traditionally, women are denied their sexuality by prescribed passivity and submissiveness. Though men are allowed to freely indulge whether they want to or not and to indulge aggressively and exploitatively, a man must not show weakness, hesitancy or fear all the things that make sex tender and touching. Cut off from these human frailties, he tries to become something of a sex machine using women as emblems of his prowess. By resisting open affection, both man and women are — reduced to objects. Clearly, men need to be freed from this suffocation. But it will not be easy. It will, in fact, be more difficult than women’s liberation has been. Women had the clearly defined oppression of discriminatory laws. Men, on the other hand, have no such easy targets. More importantly, masculinity inhibits the very reflection and outrage that has done so much to free women. Men do not have the woman’s access to feelings. Both women and men but often men are are oppressed by archaic not even aware that they are oppressed, much less why. Role tethers But as difficult as it might be, male liberation must be achieved, not only for the sake of men, but too. It. is no exaggeration to say that women will not be free until men are. Historically, the female role evolved to complement masculinity; for women women were weak and servile so men could be Mechanistic life N \\ k>\ ROOTIES'S MM NWHT ’ 7R .* __ x Beerr Pitchers of R D . strong and dominant. This is important to realize, a predominantly heterosexual society how is any woman going to be truly liberated if men still feel the compulsion to dominate her? She will be forever weighing her freedom against the edge of her partner. In short, any unilateral liberation won fpr women will be an empty freedom unless it includes men freed from the oppression! of power and for in privilege. What this suggests is that feminism alone will free men or women from the tethers of compulsory sex roles. Male oppression is peculiarly male and requires its own liberation. But more importantly, the inflammatory rhetoric of feminism etherizes a true understanding of sexism. It is not a matter of men oppressing women; sexism is both men and women oppressed by being forced into the arbitrary roles of oppressor and oppressed. Women viewing men as enemies, and self-hate on the part of men will accomplish nothing. Hate and guilt are never constructive mqtivations. Men should not chastise themselves in response to feminist accusations. They must reflect on themselves, recognize their compulsions, and use some of that legendary male strength to overcome them. Women should not roll in the muck of resentment and bitterness They must recognize and sympathize with their fellow prisoners and organize against the common foe. Feminists must abandon their simplistic notion of oppressor and oppressed and realize that “oppressors” are merely individuals locked into roles they didn’t opt for and thus are themselves oppressed. In short, feminism must give way to humanism for only in understanding, honesty and compassion will men and women find freedom. not Saturday, March 24 75c Mixed Drinks Stahl Road (Bar Brands) AT POOR *1.00 donation to MPA, includes chances for door prizes - - WING DING COUPONS ACCEPTED 315 - at Miortpart Hwy. 688-0100 �SA President calls on Legislature i to restore $9.1 million to SUNY K> by Daniel S. Parker News Editor the eve of Wednesday’s massive student Albany, four student leaders gathered in UB’s Squire Hall to gain the attention of State legislators and build up enthusiasm to fight the proposed $150 tuition hike. The four leaders, gathered by UB Student Association (SA) President Karl Schwartz, blasted the SUNY Board of Trustees plan to boost tuition $150 for lower division students and called for the State Legislature to restore $9.1 million to the SUNY budget the amount needed to offset any increase in tuition. Schwartz noted, “It is easy to see how both the Trustees and the Chancellor were intimidated by the Governor’s budget arm, the Division of the Budget (DOB) into recommending the tuition increase.” SUNY students, who have been conducting massive letter-writing campaigns, lobbying efforts and negotiations with key legislators, maintain that Governor Hugh L. Carey’s “skimpy” budget proposal forced the Trustees into raising tuition. The Trustees, they contend, had the choice between cutting programs or raising tuition. On demonstration in - Unique position Buffalo State College student government President Dan McCormick emphasized that Erie Smith CONGRATULATIONS: UB student Bernice Kuco from Niagara Falls will be spending 22 days in Europe. Kuca and Ira Fox, who won a seven day trip to the Bahamas, were the winners of the two vacations given away during the Student Association of the State University (SASUI and Travel Intercollegiate Holiday's Travel Fever display. Over 800 students entered the raffle and participated in the day's events which featured individual booths outlining different student travel plans. The winners were announced in a packed Fillmore Room in Squire Hall Wednesday afternoon. County is in a “unique position,” because it houses both the largest SUNY college and university. McCormick told the small gathering of student leaders and reporters that middle income and part-time students will be hurt the most by a tuition boost. He noted that over 2000 part-time students attend Buffalo State. These students, he said, receive no tuition assistance from the State. He said, “People who need it (State aid) the most, will be hit th\ hardest.” SUNY investments Apartheid study group protests UB monetary aid to South Africa by Mitch Stenger Spectrum by severe Staff Writer Petitions circulated on campus the recently formed UB Apartheid Study Group have garnered “significant support” in the group’s battle against the racial segregation practiced in South Africa, according to group President Elizabeth Boronow. The petitions oppose the existence of the apartheid system and the indirect monetary support given to South Africa by the State University of New York (SUNY). The Study Group claims that UB plays an indirect, but significant role in the apartheid system. All SUNY schools including UB contribute to the Pool Endowment Fund. SUNY invests $7 million of this fund in corporations that do business with South Africa. The UB Apartheid Study Group believes that the SUNY Board of Trustees should divest the money from corporations involved in South Africa and reinvest it elsewhere. It hopes to pressure the Trustees through petition. The Group plans to send petitions to the UB College Council and the Faculty Senate. The Study Group maintains that apartheid is a form ,6f economic, social and political oppression by which the white minority in South Africa denies civil rights to the black majority. The minority race enjoys "the highest standard of living in the world. Under the “formal parlimentary system” whites have the right to vote, own property and live anywhere they wish. The cities, where the cleanest and safest jobs are situated, are reserved and restricted for whites. — — Profit motive Under the apartheid system, Group members contend, blacks face political disenfranchisement, limitations on freedom of movement and the denial of the right to form labor unions. The black population in Africa, according to Apartheid brochures, is plagued by rampant unemployment. The average family income is $84 a month, while the offical South African government poverty datum line” estimates $148 per month as necessary for bare essentials., Behind the apartheid system lies the profit motive.

Banks such as Chase Manhattan (which owns Marine Midland), Citibank, The Bank America of and Manufacturers Hanover are active in providing large loans to the South African regime. The petitions circulated by the Apartheid Study Group admonish the current apartheid state. Boronow termed the response here to the petitions as “very gqpd.” She said that “about 80 percent of the people we approach have signed.” Boronow 1000 estimated that “over signatures*’ have been collected in two weeks. Movements toward divestiture have met with success at other universities across the nation. Already, students at Michigan State, University pf University Massachusetts, of Wisconsin, Yale and Columbia have succeeded in pressuring their Boards of Trustees into action. Are students heard? Fndorsing his student comrades, former Oneonta student President Jim Bob Volt/ promised that the voters in his family will be “watching their legislators closely” when it comes down to the tuition issue. Voltz, who noted that he was addressing his remarks to State Legislators, said that Oneonta’s President Clifford Craven has strongly opposed increasing tuition and students from his school have written over 700 letters in addition to visiting representatives in Albapy three times. Fredonia’s McCoy echoed the questions of the other student leaders when he asked: “Have we been heard? The press conference, which almost appeared to be a pep rally for Wednesday’s student gathering in Albany, also tossed about oft-repeated arguments against raising ranging tuition from a corresponding decline in enrollment to the discrepancy in funding for private and public education in New York State. Schwartz revealed that seven groups have supported the students’ fight “against this ill-conceived tuition increase.” The following groups are backing students in their effort to prevent a tuition hike; United University Professions, New York Public Interest Research Group, the SA Student Senate, Parent Teachers Association, Executive Director of COPE, AFL-CIO, New York State United Teachers Union, and Committee for Public Higher Education.

The buildings Schoellkofp, MacDonald, Michael and Pritchard Halls bom into campus life 27 years ago, are nearly identical, but a late afternoon shadow points a dark finger at the oft-neglected little brother. Pritchard Hall houses 68 students. It was drafted into emergency service as a dormitory last August after several years of an administrative being stronghold, saving dozens of inexperienced freshmen from the desperation of off-campus house hunting. - - - - Midnight raids But those 68 students might not have sighed as happily as they did had they known what kind of living conditions awaited them.

Neal did not receive a copy of the student residents’ petition., Pritchard, which is also used by English Music, the and Therapy (OT) Occupational is half only Departments, occupied by dormitory residents. Students fill the third and fourth floors, while departments occupy the first two. The North wing of the Pritchard basement, contains class and therapy space used by OT. The identical north wing in Schoellkopf Hall houses laundry, kitchen and recreational space. That dorm has four washers, six vending and three dryers machines, along with a stove and sink. Ironically, Pritchard was once known as Cooke Hall, a name that has since been transferred to a more stately Amherst Campus edifice. Some Pritchard residents would undoubtedly like to be able to Cooke (sic) in their own home, but remains an Pritchard oft-neglected little brother.

This story details legislation recently Syracuse to deal enacted in with the problem. by John Glionna Ass’t. Feature Editor And yet, law enforcement and fire officials in the Syracuse area have also gone on record as saying that the unpopular law’s enforcement could pose a further threat to the safety of patrons and security personnel. Several Syracuse police officers expressed apprehension at the prospect of hauling a youth into custody in front of several hundred of his peers. Rock concerts just aren’t going to be the same at least not in Syracuse. Earlier this month, Onondaga County Executive John Mulroy signed a law which makes — smoking, drinking and possession of “beverage containers” in the a War Memorial Syracuse punishable offense. That means that anyone caught drinking alcohol or smoking pot during a concert is subject to a fine of up to $100, a jail term of to 15 days, or both. up Theoretically, a person could also receive the maximum sentence for smoking cigarettes or drinking although it is Coca Cola believed the law was designed to control marijuana and alcohol — consumption. “We intend to use several new measures to aid us in enforcing the law,” said County Legislative Minority Leader Nick Pino. “Included are an intense searching and frisking of patrons at the gates, a totally reserved anangement, a special 40-member, t-shirt security force and minimal lighting instead of total darkness in the Auditorium during the concert.” front seating The momentum behind the new legislation began over a year the Syracuse based ago by Drug Abuse City-County Commission which aimed to stop the heavy consumption of marijuana and alcohol at concerts in the County Auditorium. Drug “Chairman of the Ronald Commission, Father Buckle, attended several concerts and assessed the situation as ‘extremely dangerous.’ Syracuse media inevitably persuaded area legislators to get involved,” said Syracuse Herald Journal reporter Dan Padouano. “In introducing the bill, the legislators claimed that all the things that supposedly couldn’t be done in the War Memorial because they were illegal really were legal until now. They wanted to strengthen the restrictions by putting a punch behind the law. Thus, they introduced the stiff penalties.” Flammable people According to its sponsors, Democratic County Legislators Justin Zimmack, Max Allway and Timothy Gorman, the new law is War safeguard intended to Memorial spectators. “The issue is not one of morality whether or not we condone pot smoking but one of safety. If the Auditorium ever caught on fire, fire marshalls have expressed doubt whether it would be possible to get those eight or nine thousand people attending the concert out said safely,” — — Zimmack. “We’ve been extremely lucky to date that we’ve never had an outbreak of fire in that place. Even though the fire chief has declared the building itself not flammable, 1 say that people are,” said Max Allway. No nidi for Rush Due to the new restrictions, at least one concert promoter, Cedric Kushner of New York City, who promoted a recent Styx concert in the auditorium, expressed a reluctance to sponsor any further acts in Syracuse. “Other promoters are cautiously waiting to see what will happen,” said War Memorial Director, Pete Napier. Napier believes that the biggest danger is that the new law will ultimately result in fewer rock concerts in Syracuse. At present, a rescheduled Rush show on April 2 is the only firmly booked event at the War Memorial. Napier, who has recently been on the “hot seat” with local legislators for having failed to control the smoking situation several years ago, maintains that while legislators like to disclaim the War Memorial’s problem with drugs and alcohol at concerts as a political issue, that’s exactly what it has become. “The whole issue reeks of politics,” he said. “The three first term Democratic legislators, who spon sored the new law, are making their first play for the public spotlight and hungry are extremely notoriety and press coverage.” ircb for Bli Manager Two (2) Asst. Ma all three Nonetheless, Democratic legislators deny any political consequences attached to the issue. “I never got wind of any - politics being associated with this issue until I read about it in the papers,” said Allway. “Nobody else had the nerve to stand up and say that things like this shouldn’t go on. 1 was concerned with the potential health hazard of people attending concerts at the War Manager Asst.

NYPIRG regional - - Whatever the case, the high energy rock group Rush will soon give what might be the most important concert in the history of the Onondaga War Memorial and set a precedent for other cities to follow. That night the new law will get its first test. Future concerts there and in other cities may well hinge on the behavior of the audience that night. Although Napier does expect arrests at the concert, he 100 percent contends that enforcement of the law is virtually impossible. “Cops will be making maybe EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES - Applications available in all stores conference The New York State Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) will hold its Western New York regional conference tomorrow.

The fraternity members also escort female students from the Spine to the Ellicott Complex and Governor’s Residence Halls. The two student volunteer groups dedicated to protecting women from the very real threat of rape have chosen to work separately on the same problem, that of rape and other assaults. “We want to remain autonomous,” said coordinator of the Task Force Shaari Neretin. “We’re afraid women would be more hesitant to call us if we were connected with the police. Right now our program attracts a large number of different people with different interests” she said. However, according to officer Peggy Chapados of Campus Security, who was instrumental in setting up the Anti-Rape Task Force, the fear of “police stigma” is unfounded. . Ironically, the Sigma Pi Fraternity has aligned itself with the University Police as an service preventive additional because of a void it peiceived in the Task Force. “We felt the , J • „ .. _.

Why not a sociology course on deviance and its social use? Why not a history course on the world’s treatment of minorities? Why not a communications course on cultural bias in advertising? These potential offerings do not “specifically reflect the cultural experiences and expressions of American minorities and women” as much as they examine the attitudes and foundations for cultural bias. They also do not fall into the domain of Black Studies, American Studies or Women’s Studies. As lifeless as they are, committee reports very much set the boundaries and create the expectations of the campus. The fact that the affirmative action component was written into the plan with such a narrow conception is example of the very a regrettable but still reversible thinking that General Education seeks to combat. — General Education, as one of its primary principles, seeks to develop and explain ways of thinking more than particular thoughts, it looks to establish intellectual attitudes, rather than simply transmit the knowledge n generated by those attitudes.

There was considerably more block-voting and more close votes this week. Also, the simmering topic of enrollment gains was brought to a full boil during a 90 minute debate on the foreign language requirement. Next week That debate was left unresolved, as the Senate was forced to suspend discussion until next Tuesday for lack of a quorum. But the strict two-course language requirement appeared to have slipped away by meeting’s end, with the Senate clearly undecided over exactly where to place foreign languages within the General Education plan. Althoughthe requirement is still in the text of the report, it has survived more out of parliamentary good fortune and the Senate’s confusion than out of outright support. Next week’s meeting will open - - with foreign language requirement again and, with a week to think about it, the Senate is likely to YES and the other two thirds voting NO. Baker, repeatedly American Studies Professor Liz Kennedy advised Baker that the Committee now THE GREAT DEBATE II: Form*: DUE Dean Charles Ebert listens patiently to part of the discussion at Tuesday's Faculty Senate meeting.

Hence, A-2 was no longer needed. proposed difficult, if not impossible” for an Engineering students,-sfregsrd that UB must compete with schools amendment designed to ease the growing fears of Engineering faculty that the General Education program will be incompatible with accreditation constraints. Baker’s amendment stated that the Gen Ed Committee does not intend to jeopardize accreditation like Cornell which he said have exempted Engineering students from Gen Ed requirements. Reismann then issued a thinly-veiled threat that Engineering may be forced to take drastic action, saying: “To impose this requirement on us may make it necessary to take other steps, the total degree of programs like more'- they possibly purely a professional school, which we would not-like to do.” Baker said this: “We are not talking about life and death.

But, with an extra year to develop the first phase of the Baker students take at least two. Kelley stressed that her plan which created a new' section in the report just for Affirmative Action would not increase the number of required courses (now set at 13), but would merely insure that two , of those courses address problems of racial and sexual bias in American society. Committee had in mind when it wrote section B-2, which states that certain “intellectual skills, themes and/or principles” will be incorporated into the General Education requirements, without increasing the total number of courses. “Mechanically,” Baker told Kelley, “B-2 performs the same function you are trying to General Education Committee Chairman Norman Baker successfully proposed that Section A-2 of the report be deleted. That section is a vestige of the 1979 implementation date, which was pushed back to 1980 by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee. A-2 would have identified all courses in the University with one of the six the was to designate certain courses in the, six knowledge areas as Affirmative Action courses, and mandate that Baker argued that Kelley’s plan In a more significant change than some Senators realized. program, Education plan.

We are not talking about forcing Engineering to do anything. What we are asking for is for Faculty Senate approval to go ahead and. work out these concerns mutually." Although the 1979 implementation of the Springer Report may prove to be a financial blessing for the University, Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn said Wednesday that monetary gains were a distant second to academic improvements in the decisipn to implement next Fall. In the past three years, the State Division of Budget (DOB) the has employed a new method to compute enrollments in addition to the traditional Full Time “equated student” Equivalent (FTE) method. While UB had a budgetary advantage under the use of FTEVas the mechanism for student counting, the equated students count not only removes that, but,actually puts this University at a comparative disadvantage with other SUNY schools. The trend appears to be to use the equated count more heavily in each new budget, thus costing UB more each — stressing that the Gen Ed report already makes allowances for special cases like Engineering, saw his amendment passed by a healthy margin. Its most significant feature is that it removes the option of extending Engineering programs to five years, which has bpen suggested as an alternative by among others Faculty Senate Chairman - - Newton Garver. Social Foundations Professor Gail Kelley then proposed the second half of her attempt, which began last week, to include a two-course Affirmative Action requirement in the General drafters of the Affirmative Action component were aware of Section B-2 and its aim, but felt that the study of racial and sexual bias was fundamental enough to deserve a specially-articulated section and requirement. Here the debate broke off into a number of separate thrusts, various Senators noting that other forms of bias (religious, sexual preference, age, etc.) were being excluded; that the knowledge area “Historical and Philosophical Studies" would be virtually pre-empted by Affirmative Action courses; that existing structures in Black Studies and Women’s Studies make racial and sexual bias the ideaal ones to concentrate on; and that Affirmative Action courses do not necessarily fall outside traditional disciplines. (Translation: they may fall inside areas other than American Studies —continued on p*ga 2— academically, then it would be unfair for DOB to penalize this school through its budget. However, said Bunn, UB decided to comply with the State’s mandate that all units adopt the Carnegie unit for academic reasons. “I never felt we ought to be trying to justify our course system by beating a game of DOB’s,” he asserted. The primary reason for the Fall 79 implementation, Bunn said, “was to get our house in order under Springer first', before other changes.” He was referring mainly to the General Education Program, slated to be implemented in the Fall 1980. - year. UB and " — Binghamton - are the two SUNY schools which primarily benefit under the FTE system, since each generally grants four credits for three classroom hours. For the same reason with a higher average number of credits per student, the equated mechanism is harmful to UB. The guess among several administrators here, including Acting Executive Vice President Charles Fogcl and Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs Voldemar Ifinus, is that DOB will drop the equated count once UB converts to the standard Carnegie unit of class time/credit hour equivalence. Beating DOB’s Bunn agreed that the creation of the equated count was “probably seen by DOB as restoring a balance to all SUNY schools. . .it sort of blurs the inflation of our 4 for 3 system.” Bunn -.aid that if UB could justify its 4 for 3 system Inside: New assistance guidelines—P. 2 / Rapid Transit bids—P. 4 / Kunz relieved Among those who opposed the Springer implementation for Fall 1979 was Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Education (DUE) Walter Kunz.-Kunz, along with DUE Dean John Peradottp and student leaders, feared tremendous logistical problems (inadequate classroom size, busing mix-ups) with the 1979 implementation. But now, said Kunz, many of DUE’s biggest concerns have dissolved. “Departmental changes in requirements will be printed up fbr students prior tq pre-registration for next semester,” he noted, “and the grandfather clause has been approved.” Kunz expected these two areas to proceed much more slowly, Kunz was ftnaware of any budgetary concerns pressuring the implementation date for 79. Kunz, who served on the Springer Committee, echoed Committee Chairman Robert Springer’s sentiments that academic priorities overshadowed financial concerns. Kunz doubted that the equated student count influenced BUnn’s and University President Robert L. Ketter’s decision to implement the program next Fall over the protest of DUE. “I think they thought the thing (Springer Report) had been kicked around long enough,” Kunz said. The pressure from DOB through the equated count was probably-just a coincidence, he concluded. Farm City Collective— P.

Even those whose family income tops $25,000 could be eligible. Effectively, M1SSA lowers the amount of money a family is expected to contribute to theif child’s education. Thus, more money flows from the government to replace what was formerly provided by the family. The new BEOG provisions, including an increase in the to M1SSA, applying Guaranteed Student Loan Program (GSLP), became effective on November 1, 1978. As of November 1, all students receiving Federally Insured Student Loans will be eligible for federal interest subsidies while they are in school regardless of family income. The subsidies exempt students from paying interest on the loans until nine months after graduation. The new provision supercedej an earlier law effective in the 1979-80 academic year. Director, of the UB Office of Financial Aid to Students, Clarence Conner, encourages students to apply for BEOG if they are unsure of their eligibility. “Many students are now eligible who previously were not, and family incomes under $25,000 to receive the subsidy.

NFTA’s actions were prompted by Jone’s failure to produce the required bonding to guarantee that the work would be done.

During the last decade we have witnessed a rather remarkable national commitment to solving our wracking environmental problems. And although we still have a long way to go, the strides taken towards cleaning up the nation's air and water in the late 60 s and through the "7O's are both significant and irreversible. To wit, we can now wade in the waters of Lake Erie without having our skin eaten away by powerful acids and our hair coated with miasmic slime. Ten years ago a dip in that industrial sewer would have been unthinkable. Yet none of this progress would have been possible without the mass opprobium of public opinion and the unyielding efforts of government environmental agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency. Corporations have had to be pulled by the ears in order to bring them Corporate giants pervade public with ‘good guy’ propaganda Ads depict thriving wildlife next to smoke-belching oil refineries into compliance with environmental standards; they're still heeing and hawing about how EPA regulations are technologically unattainable. With all the corporate whining it really didn ‘t lake long for Detroit to develop the catalytic converter, an exhaust device which dramatically cuts down on noxious auto emissions like hydrocarbons and nitrous oxides. So the next time you see one of those slick corporate PR commercials telling you how much Shell or Exxon or Union Carbide is doing to clean up the environment it might be a good idea to keep in mind how much public and governmental pressure it has taken and is still taking to bring industry around to this direction, despite the billions of dollars and enormous pool of technical resources they possess. In this vein is the article below. by Robbie Cohen f a weekly supplement Continuing our spotlight on urban problems. Fascination features an intriguing Pacific News Service story by T.D. Allman on the revitalization of Newark, New Jersey, a city that only 10 years ago was declared dead in the wake of tumultuous race riots and urban flight. Reporter Allman shows us how Newark, under the guiding leadership of Mayor Kenneth Gibson, has made a remarkable comeback, feeding op resources that it has possessed all along, even during the dark years of the late 6 O’s. And finally we have a favorable commentary on Jimmy Carter's handling of foreign affairs, by Tom Batt. Tom asserts that Carter's Mid-East coup reflects favorably not only on his competence as a peace negotiator, but also on his forbearance and integrity as a man. a lot on television and in newspapers and magazines on how industry is cleaning up the air and water that they have poisoned, dirtied and otherwise toxified. It may appear to the casual observer that corporations have been making these efforts on their own initiative. Yet the truth is only since the passage of the of corporations? We hear . . And yes, we're even taking steps towards cleaning up the environment. Our research division is developing a new product the Shell Oil Herder, that someday might be used to clean up the numberless seashores blighted by those massive oil spills from our ruptured supertankers. Go ahead and ask any oil covered bird or fish that has survived these environemntal disasters: they'll tell you, we care. As you can see in the following simulation, our research at this stage has not progressed beyond our being able to deal with bathtub or toilet bowl sized spills, but no one can say that we're not trying. And you thought Shell Oil was involved with just oil drilling, excessive profits ar.d ecological disasters. Hah! And we’re not stopping at that. One of our subsidiaries is putting out a new line of super grip deck shoes, that will dramatically reduce the chance of you or a beloved member of your family falling into one of our slimy messes during a leisurely Sunday outing on the family yacht. That's right. Shell has the . - federal Clean Air Act in 1970 has industry been doing anything in this direction. And even with the weight of federal and state regulatory agencies bearing down on them, there has been an enormous amount of footdragging. Buckling under this pressure, industry has been forced to spend billions on pollution abatement devices, yet the record shows that when it comes to the crunch, they will do any thing they can to avoid compliance with the environmental and health standards. Hundreds of contest cases are pending in our nation’s courts, where companies have appealed EPA and state environmental agencies compliance orders. Apocryphal version To be sure this is a somewhat apocryphal version of a Shell public relations commercial that you may remember from a few years back. It is, however, a typical example of the kind of deceptive PR campaign that large corporations, especially oil companies, have been waging recently in the print and electronic media. Exxon, in a similar piece of corporate propaganda, shows us how wildlife is thriving in the vicinity of one of their smoke belching refineries. How idyllic, nature and industry existing side by side in perfect symbiotic harmony. There is no doubt that industry has been spending many millions on environment-related projects, yet a good deal of these millions have been spent on ad space and air time. The commercial fare that companies like Exxon and Shell Oil have very well done and been ordering up is consummate Madison Avenue consequently, scary. Putting aside this slick PR campaign, is there a sincere corporate commitment to making our air and water clean and 1 safe? One look at the enormous gross revenues and profits that giants like GM and Exxon have been reaping over the past few decades (with Exxon, for one, maintaining that its multi-billion dollar profits cannot cover the high riskes and costs implicit in oil exploration) will bring the unmistakable conclusion that this supposed committment is not impressive in the least. — Gas guzzling boats Without outside pressure from Washington and the considerable weight of public opinion, large auto makers like GM, Ford and Chrysler in all likelihood would have done nothing about controlling exhaust emissions and reducing fuel consumption. If left to their own devices, they would continue to produce the gas guzzling, air polluting boats the mid and that were so popular during Detroit’s “golden years” late 60’s before the looming specter of the oil crisis began to cast its long shadow and before public opinion was mobilized against the — hazards of air pollution. And most pathetic of all, the automakers are being dragged kicking and screaming into meeting the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards for gas consumption and emissions. GM whines that the federal standards are too tough and are not technologically feasible. So the EPA grants' the car companies reprieve after reprieve on the compliance deadlines. The current target date is. now 1981. A good cup of coffee? Considering that companies like GM and Ford have within their domain a deep pool of scientific and engineering talent, complaints about EPA standards quickly lose credibility. As the contemporary cliche goes, “We can send a man to the moon, why can’t I get a good cup of coffee.” On the less inane side, we can send unmanned spacecraft across millions of miles of space to Jupiter and Saturn, why can’t we achieve less complex goals, like making our primary mode of transportation cleaner and more energy efficient. The answer? Industrial giants refuse to spend the billions of dollars that the development of totally new and innovative engines for autos would entail. Sure, Detroit has trimmed hundreds of pounds of superfluous steel bulk off their mobile living rooms, but this is mostly in response to federal pressure and competition from foreign manufacturers with their lines of small, gas efficient can. Meanwhile, in advertisements and television commercials, Detroit touts the high technology that goes into manufacturing their new gadget crammed, more reasonable sized vehicles. We wonder why GM, which produces highly advanced weapons systems, can’t tap this technology for more pressing civilian uses. How about concern for air quality and worker health on the part • Bethlehem Steel is one case in point. As the second largest steel manufacturer in the nation, with plants in several states, including one in Lackawanna, Bethlehem has shown a consistent record of resisting EPA imposed standards, taking the agency to court over regulations on many occasions. Bethlehem has done precious little to safeguard their coke oven workers from toxic cancer causing emissions, despite the fact that they’ve known about these health hazards for many yean now. Recently, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA, a division of the U. S. Department of Labor) slapped Bethlehem with $22,000 in penalties for flagrant violations of coke oven emissions standards. If it weren’t for OSHA, Bethlehem more than likely wouldn’t do anything to correct these hazards. Anti-nuke movement Simply, without government regulation* we’d still be driving gas guzzling dinosuars through filthy air that would only become cleaner when our dwindling fossil fuel resources were finally exhausted. True, the EPA and other regulatory agencies, bureaucracies that they are, haven’t been the mavericks they might be, but they have made great strides in cleaning up the environment. J ' �candidates for Newark’s Italian community was caught in a vortex city’s of shame, fear and hate. The Hugh mayor, last Italian Addonizio, had been convicted of corruption.

Newark city council member Anthony Imperiale, who has lost four elections in a row here, proclaims that the city is not in trouble, but is “dead and buried.” Two hundred angry police officers, facing layoffs because of federal spending cuts, vow that Newark will become “Fear City” if they lose their jobs. - The rhetoric fits Newark’s popular image as a crisis-ridden, most heavily trafficked highway, doomed dity. But behind the headlines and rail and air routes converge with the busiest harbor and biggest market in America,” points out Newark’s Mayor Kenneth A. Gibson. “Cities with those kind of the gutted buildings along Springfield Avenue that stand as reminders of the ghetto rebellion of 1967 is a far different reality. This city is in the midst of an impressive social, economic and cultural revival that is confounding the prophets of urban decay. Some 80 corporations have made investments here in recent years. New skyscrapers are now going up in Newark’s downtown. Middle-class families are buying and renovating houses in its Ironbound and North Ward neighborhoods. Over the last decade, Newark also has become one of America’s fastest educational growing centers, with four major campuses at the-crest of a $300 million Expansion that has seen the city’s student population triple to 25,000 students in less than ten years. Meanwhile Newark’s crime rate, once the highest in the country, is now much lower than the crime rate in cities like San Francisco, Atlanta and Honolulu. Newark no catastrophe After years of talk about the urban disease, this city is literally healthier than ever as well.

Why, and how has Newark who once confounded, those predicted it might become the first American city literally to die, in the face of the suburban migrations and Sunbelt shift? As revealed by the failure of the urban catastrophe scenario to come true, even the most troubled cities continue to American possess economic, important geographic and human resources. “Newark is where the country’s become nationwide symbol of guntoting I Newark experiences rebirth by T.D.

White contemptuous of his liberals, Imperial's second defeat in the election for mayor. Today in Newark, blacks tell you that Baraka is a figure of the past; and whites tell you the same thing about Imperiale.

Rosa’s latest project is a $2 million effort to transform a decaying section of north Newark - into what he calls neighborhood “a happy with a Mediterranean-type ambiance.” For Stephen Adubato, born bred Newark’s in Italian-American North Ward, the question wasn’t “quality of life,” but survival for him, his and neighborhood and the Newark way of life he loved back in 1970, when he founded the North Ward Educational and Cultural Center. Following the riots and the defeat ethnic roots, denounced Adubato as a racist, too. But it was Adubato who, more than anyone else in Newark, helped half white flight, and turn communal hatred into one of most promising experiments genuine in multi-racial cooperation. It was Adubato, too, who in the days of Spiro Agnew and the “silent majority,” delivered the votes that kept Peter Rodino in Congress; America’s Adubato and thousands of his neighbors in the community that once had given George Wallace his biggest majority anywhere on the East Coast who, in 1574, openly campaigned for Kenneth Gibson’s thus ensured reelection, and Street; kids on skate boards in Vailsburg; even the bus driver on all the Springfield Avenue run agree with the “experts” that Newark is a city iiv the midst of an impressive revival. - For Samuel Miller, it was back in 1971, when museum attendance started climbing again, for the first time since the riots four years earlier.

If Newark for a decade was the epitome of everything that was wrong with America’s cities, Stella Wright was the epitome of everything that was wrong with Newark. Originally built to house more than 1,100 low income families — back in those days when the most enlightened urbanologist and most avaricious contractor alike agreed the best solution for poverty was to stack the poor, far away from the nice neighborhoods, in impersonal high rises in city centers, Stella Wright over the years degenerated into a breeding ground of crime, disease, riot and arson. What the tenants did not do to each other, inhuman administration did. Maintenance was so bad that many tenants fled; others refused to pay their rent. Its urine-soaked halls were unsafe by day and night. Many believed the only solution for Stella Wright as for Newark itself was to abandon the place, and start over again some place else. But that was before the tenants themselves, with city took cooperation, over management of their own — — buildings and organized to set and maintain standards in their own lives. When they visited Stella Wright this year, the'experts from Regional Plan Associates found not despair, but “new optimism,” “a decline, but not urban metaphor for urban change in New Jersey.” “Stella Wright is full again,” they reported; “some families who could affprd to move out have chosen to stay. The halls and yards are neater; things work. A project that had been called unmanageable is being managed by tenants once thought unable to manage anything.

Cities like Newark are thus obliged to tax heavily that small minority of working homeowners who still remain within the city limits, risking an acceleration of middle class flight by both whites and blacks that has turned many cities into daytime business districts surrounded by slums. Only a growing dependency on federal aid has permitted Newark, and many cities like it, to cope with the situation. “Everyone arrives in Newark a pessimist,” concluded Langdon a transplanted Dames, New Yorker who heads the local Urban League. “But if you’re willing to look at Newark without prejudice, you start to see what people are achieving. Newark has made an optimist out of me.” People said Newark was dead ten years ago; soon the new conventional wisdom will be that it has come alive miraculously again. The truth is that Newark is not a garden now; it wasn’t a wasteland then. It’s a city, a place where things happen.

Board of Directors to two: either retain the mandatory abortion coverage in the student •S health insurance plan or create an optional waiver of the coverage for c moral opponents to abortion. 5 From a strictly practical perspective, the opt-out choice is probably a better one: it wholly accomodates the moral objectors and grants abortion coverage to everyone else. This admittedly powerful logic is dimmed by the unlikely but still agonizing possibility that a woman may opt-out of the plan, become pregnant and then wish she had retained the freedom of choice. That dilemma reflects the troubling nature of the abortion issue itself its propensity to change, even within an individual's mind, from a moral choice to a medical need. Placard-waving housewives and fist-raising feminists aside, decision-makers must confront any abortion-related issue from both perspectives at once. So the practical perspective is by no means the only one that must be brought to the debate. On the pages of The Spectrum each week and in the heavy, restless air of Haas Lounge March 8, the $1 abortion coverage in a $73.50 plan became weighted with symbolism, until it now carries a woman's right to control her body across one shoulder and an individual's right to moral peace across the other. The fierceness with which these two rights have been defended has virtually eliminated the challenge of creating the best possible insurance plan for students and replaced it with the more visible pressure to placate the most people, or more accurately anger the • • — — — fewest. Sub Board now stands in the center of the ring like the boxing referee at match's end, ready to raise the hand of either the champ or the challenger, with the bitterly divided crowd sure to hiss and cheer either way. But is there another choice to be made, with the same options, a different scoring system that will pick either mandatory or optional coverage for a different set of reasons and after a different set of deliberations? We believe that there is, and it has to do with the University. In the following couple of days, the residental students of UB will have the dubious “honor” of participating in an IRC election. This is all well and good, however an election concerning IRC naturally should concern the residential students of UB, but does it? The noble formation of political parties in the United States has certainly layed the hollowed groundwork of what we call America. Let us keep in mind however that people tend to identify certain moralities to a particular political party. For example, republicans are considered conservative, conversely democrats are considered liberal. Therefore, these generalizations help the voter to cast his total votes for a single ticket, still leaving him a free conscience knowing that his principles are well represented. Now, look at IRC. The Parties running for office promising to include: 1) the deliverance party “deliver” us from the present IRC 2) the renaissance party bringing the residental student body into a renaissance period of reformation (or promising to “deliver” us from IRC) 3) the organized crime party no explanation needed. These comprise the three parties running for the responsible, executive — — — positions in IRC._ Is IRC so bad that we need a deliverance, or a renaissance, or maybe even our own F B I. to fight organized crime?! I think not. Considering the appropriate tangles of red tape, monetary appropriations, and general bullshit, IRC has done a splendid job in providing the students’ various forms of activities and recreations such as concerts, films, parties, etc.. These political parties, it seems to me, are banded together to perhaps serve a common'interest which might not necessarily be of common interest to the residental student body of UB. It seems that this election has but one independent, who incidently is basing a large portion of his campaign on the fact that he is independent. Stephan Kopp, a junior who resides at Governor’s, says that the independent candidate has but one interest group in mind, the students themselves. He also state? that “no one group will benefit from his election except the largest group and the most important of all. . . the students”. These are of course noble promises if indeed he carries them out and is elected. Of course, he shall have the problems of dealing with the executive members of IRC who are, in fact, still members of a political party. But it’s a start. Come on, you independents, get out and vote Laura Zadarlik Academic freedom To the Editor Student wake up! Our academic freedom is in jeopardy. The Faculty Senate is making decisions about our education without consulting us, the students. I am talking about the General Education Proposal that will add many new requirements for incoming freshmen and seriously restrict our freedom to choose the courses that we are interested in. Since we are the ones paying for our education and the professors are working for us, we should have a say about what we want fm this University. We can’t let other people make decisions for us. Unless we join together and stand up for the right to choose the direction that our own academic lives will take, we will be stepped on. There is a solution join SOAF (Student Organization For Academic Freedom), and we will show the administration that we are angry and not going to be pushed around by being treated as irresponsible children who need to be told which courses to take. There will be a meeting this Friday at Squire Hall at 2;30 p.m. We urge all those people who care about themselves and their freedom to take control of their own lives to be there! Remember something can be done if we are not apathetic. Ina Magrisso Bonnie Lewis At a school like SUNY Buffalo, there is the talent, energy and climate to study and sometimes solve society's problems in whatmight be called a laboratory setting. The peculiar mixture of theory and practice enables a University and particularly its student body to organize and conduct itself free from the political complexities of public policy that often turn a sincere philosophical underpinning to A doctor in the house? - - empty rhetoric; Examples: A student newspaper can afford, ideologically and financially, to reject military advertising (a decision that would not even come up at a metropolitan newspaper); a student government can withdraw its money from racist banks; a student record-retailer can organize itself as a collective; and the taxes students pay (the activity fee) can not only be set by the students (through referendum) but can be distributed with student sentiment as a direct guide. All these characteristics of student governance take advantage of the unique moral tone, intellectual perspective and political demography available at a University. Sub Board, as a student service corporation, has already taken advantage of the University setting by creating the kind of health care package that, while sorely needed in this country, has been beaten back by political pressure. The package includes a wide-range of medical services, including abortion coverage a recognition of the medical need for abortion. Sub Board continued this test of health care policy by holding an open Jorum on the insurance package, bringing the decision-makers face-to-face with the public. To now retreat from what has become an admirable experiment in policy-making would be wrong; in our view, it would ignore the special university setting that the abortion coverage issue has been raised. Here it is important to consider what Sub Board would symbolize in its decision, and what it would like to symbolize. Just as an optional, government-sanctioned insurance plan (like Blue Cross/Blue Shield) was thought to be less acceptable than a mandatory, government-sponsored plan, so should the optional, waive-out policy be put aside in favor of mandatory abortion coverage. And just as the student-wide nature of the insurance coverage symbolizes the belief that health care is a human right, available to all, the mandatory abortion coverage will symbolize the choice to abort a pregnancy is a woihan's right; and that the protection of that choice is a societal responsibility. In the same vein, a decision to adopt an opt-out policy may very well symbolize: the of moral preference into a policy that should primarily address medical needs; the disproportionate impact of a vocal minority; and the bending however slight to the dangerous anti-abortion mentality that threatens a woman's basic right to choose. We urge the Sub Board I, Inc. Board of Directors to consider this different scoring system, to balance the symbolic gains of a mandatory abortion coverage with the symbolic losses of an opt-out plan and leaving aside an understandable temptation to placate the most vocal among us retain the mandatory coverage as a public demonstration of its commitment to rnetjipafly sensible and publicly sensitive health • - — To the Editor: On a number of occasions, we have been ill on weekends and have contacted the University Health Service. There is no doctor on duty on weekends, and the nurses were unable to offer more than moral support. This past weekend, one of us was subjected to rude and patronizing treatment by the nurse on duty, who could not diagnose what was wrong. Though rude treatment is undoubtedly atypical, we believe that a university of this size should have at least one doctor on duty throughout the weekend to deal with major and minor medical complaints. Shelley and Phillip Lerner Cooperate To the Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank 1367 people who voted for the Referendum to reform the SA Senate. I hope that with this step, people will start to be more concerned with what happens to their manditory student fee money. This year with 12,000 students registered as undergraduates the SA has the responsibility of dispersing no less than 800,000 dollars. If more people would get involved alot could be done with that money. In going door to door and desk to desk. the gathering signatures I met alot of people who had good ideas for SA projects and I told each of them to go down to the SA office and find out about getting started. That’s still the idea. We need to get people back to work. Within a week the new senate will be selected and I hope that things can start moving in a more positive direction, but it won’t happen if people don’t start to care. There may be hope. If people will just cooperate. David Hoffman Reversing morality To the Editor: It is often the case that a woman opposed to abortion reverses her opinion when personally faced with an unwanted pregnancy. She concludes that she needs an abortion because she is unable to bear the consequences of not having one. The unfortunate woman is therefore pressed to rationalize thd abortion. The human mind is capable of rationalizing anything it want's to, and certainly anything it beleives it needs to. Before becomming personally involved and therefore being able to view the subject objectively, she may have objected to abortion on the grounds that it is the killing of an innocent child. Now however her need for an abortion necessitates rationalization, and her rationalization necessitates deeming an unborn baby prior to six months of age a lifeless fetus. She may now terminate this fetus by having an abortion and not consider it killing. She has forgotten what she used to believe. Six months three months, who are we to decide w)hen life begins. When we do so we assume the responsibility of bestowing life and death. Only God can create life and only he has the right to take it away. I hope this ficticious woman of this discussion has not forgotten this. I hope she has not forgotten God. Sean Ruppel No choice - - — care. To the Editor: The major issue at last nights’ (3/8) Sub Board hearing was womens’ rights and the mandatory inclusion of abortion coverage in the Student Health Insurance plan. I would like to bring up the question of sincerity. The women of this University have together their rights to protect of reproduetlon.'hfe.'aitd most of all, vchorce.‘ Bui if this* is the case, then whv has so much time, energy, and joined money been put into maintaining abortion coverage when a choice is a decision between two or more options. Obviously, the choice here is between birth and abortion, but what have these women done to develop this choice? If they are sincere, why aren’t they demanding pre-natal coverage and a child care program? Without this coverage there really is no choice. • Name withheld �No-nukes to gather "0 * (O To the Editor: H O’ On Thursday, March 22nd, people advocating a non-nuclear future will be gathering near the UB Nuclear Research and Technology Center. The demonstration is part of our efforts to alert members of the university community to the growing threat of nuclear technology. (We wish to point out, however, that this will not be a demonstration against the research facility, recognizing the medical and research use of radioactive isotopes that are produced there.) The principal function of the gathering is to observe three critical issues. They are: 1) On March 22nd, 1975, two electricians sealing air leaks in a cable-spreading room under the reactor control-room at the Browns Ferry plant in Alabama accidently ignited the foam rubber they they were using a candle to check were inserting — for draughts. The fire that resulted disabled many of the emergency systems including the Emergency Core Cooling System. A makeshift pump had to be used to avoid over-heating and meltdown in the six hour long fire. Had a meltdown occured, tens of thousands of human beings could have been killed, injured, or genetically damaged from the release of even a portion of the trememdous amount of radioactivity Human error can, and will, occur. in a power We are “celebrating” the fourth anniversary of the accident on Thursday. 2) The Department of Energy is seriously considering reopening the West Valley nuclear dump site as an Away From Reactor (AFR) storage site of spent fuel rods. THis is in callous disregard of Western New York opinion judging from the approximately 400 people who attended the Jan. 13 Dept, of Energy hearing to receive local imput on options for future use of West Valley. Approximately 95% of the people who spoke want it cleaned up and closed. It is also crucial to realize that Buffalo will become a major transportation hub as nuclear waste is brought in from all over the world. 3) We also are gathering in support of the approximately 180 Clamshell Alliance members arrested at Seabrook, N.H., in their non-violent opposition to continuing construction. We are appealing to the community for financial, as well as moral support for these people. Though we are not demonstrating against the research reactor here, we do recognize that it is part of a fuel cycle that includes mining, milling, processing, transportation, and hoped for safe disposal. On Navajo land alone, there is 50 percent of reserves. Uranium mining is poisoning these people. Another 30 percent of reserves are in the Black Hills of North Dakota, in land gained from breaking the 1868 Ft. Laramie treaty with the Sioux, Arapahoe, and Cheyenne nations. Uranium mining means the continuing genocide of native people. The campus reactor also produces radioactive known uranium waste. Low-level waste has gone to West Bailey, and new goes to Barnwell, S.C. The highly toxic spent fuel rods removed last year went to Idaho Falls, Idaho. Is there pressure from business interests to reopen West Valley, considering the added expense of shipping to Barnwell? In making a judgement of the campus reactor, has to weigh the controversial benefits of medical and research use with the facts of low-level emissions that regularly_pccur, with no solution as to what to do with incredibly dangerous wastes that remain that way for potentially millions of years. And one has to consider the devastation of mining, tons of mill tailings emitting radon gas, the possibility of the sabotage or theft of materials that could bebe used for weapons. There is no peaceful one split atom! Finally, we are opposed to the training of technicians on this campus who have been, and will be employed in commercial or military reactors., for the UB Anti-Nuclear Coalition Patrick Crouse The Spectrum Vol. 29.

Summary .a TV*ft&U. of lessons we have learned �unr* •V * Bulls’ bats head south for start of ’79 year by David Davidson Sports Editor Despite the fact that the infield dirt is a pig’s paradise and the outfield grass has the firmness of a week old soggy sponge, the baseball Bulls are just about ready to begin their spring 1979 season. But fljey won’t officially use muddy Peele Field until late April; the Buffalo batsmen will be packing up and heading south for their annual Florida gig during the first week of April. Amidst the warm sunshine and ocean breezes, the highly touted Bulls will get their toughest workout until perhaps the Eastern Athletic College Conference (ECAC) playoffs. Up against the likes of the University of Miami, the Bulls, under coach William Monkarsh, are banking on a staff of at least eight regular mound aces to bolster their attack. Anchored by southpaw Joe Hesketh, \#hom Monkarsh rates as one of the best arms UB has had while he has coached, Buffalo’s pitching has a blend of youth and experience that should carry them through until the end of May. Only a sophomore, Hesketh completed his rookie season with the best earned run average (ERA) of any starter last spring, 2.30. Possessing a rifle arm that earned him almost a strike-out per inning, Hesketh has had occasional bouts of wildness, giving up 34 walks in 42 innings last year. Senior Ed Retzer returns, anzious to repeat his 5-1 1978 campaign. Retzer picked up three of his wins as the most consistent pitcher during last year’s spring fling. Others figuring to see a fair amount of duty are: Greg Fisher, who also fills in as a powerful designated hitter (DH); Phil who finished with Rosenberg 57 innings pitched, tops on the hoping to staff; Ron Nero rebound from a dismal year which an inflated ERA of 10.00; and Mike Betz once the brightest prospect at UB who has since been hampered by a series of fills in better than adequately, but ends up in right field. Freshman Mike Scime and Doug Olsen are newcomers to the Buffalo scene, but should pick up some valuable experience playing behind Ganci and Pederson. The graduation of third base veteran Mike Groh has left a gaping hole in the left side of the infield, but Monkarsh hopes to fill it with Gene Dudek. Dudek faired well at the hot-comer in the Fall with his glove, and his bat began to come around as he settled down in the batters’ box. Joe Marcella, who batted .278 as a sophomore, should retain his hold at short-stop. An adequate gloveman, Marcella has excellent his range, but needs to. number of errors. Offensively he is one of many solid hitters, who once on base like to test the arms of opposing catchers. Dave Rosenhahn, picked by the Pittsburgh Pirates in last Spring’s draft, is capable of subbing at short, but Monkarsh figures he will see plenty of action at first-base and on the mound. throwing generally Brother combo Stealing bases is second baseman Pat Raimondo’s forte. To go along with 19 thefts in 20 attempts, Raimondo smacked a superb .368 last spring, including a team leading six triples. Mike Morlock, shifted from short-stop will see occasional time at the keystone position, but must improve his anemic .175 hitting percentage. First base is up for grabs this spring with the departure of Ed' Durkin. Monkarsh lists John Gallagher Rosenhahn, John Gallager and First base freshman Greg Miller as possible candidates. Gallager, who stars his sure glove, helps run down so during the winter as a member of tricky wind-blown balls the hockey Bulls, swings a common here in Buffalo. Right field honors will go to powerful lefty bat that might give either Pederson or Ron Couche, him ths edge. Loaded. That’s what the both of whom display a world of outfield is. Jim Wojick, quite talent. Couche, built in the mold possibly the best all-around player of a classic power hitter, cracked the Bulls have, holds the left field three homers last spring and slot. Last year Wojick hit .387 added to his totals during the fall. with four homers and 35 runs Not quite as fleet a foot as batted in, to go along with 19 Pederson, he still manages to get stolen bases. A strong arm also to whatever is hit his way with aided him in nabbing four relative ease. Pederson's bat is as dependable as snow in Buffalo as baserunners. Pat Raimondo’s base displayed by his steady career running talents must run in the family, because Buffalo’s center here. Whether he is in the outfield fielder, brother Scott, is just as or infield, he should hit with dangerous. A .252 hitter, Scott consistency and can run as well as 10 bags in 11 tries, anybody.

Reiss Special to The Spectrum A battle-weary Student Association (SA) Senate went down to a thundering defeat Friday as the referendum to dissolve and restructure the legislative'body passed by an astounding 1367-257 margin. T1 e five and one-half 'to one ratio represented one of the most lopsided mandates a referendum has received from the student body here in many years. ' _ The counting of the ballots Friday evening was made possible only Before the votes were counted, Schwartz spent the day downtown in court battling to have the restraining order lifted. Accomplishing that, and later learning that the referendum had passed so convincingly, Schwartz admitted that he was “not enthusiastic" about the vote or the series of events which made the amendment necessary. Said Schwartz: “It's unfortunate that it had to come to this; that we had to rely on such a referendum to prevent real damage to SA and to important organizations on campus like The Spectrum.” Addressing the Senate’s recent passage of a resolution claiming that the referendum was invalid for a variety of reasons, the SA President said it is “irrelevant Vhether they [Senators] abide by it or not. The referendum was legal and official. The old Senate, very simply, is no longer a Senate.” Schwartz said he feels relieved more than anything else, and said he is "guardedly optimistic” about the future. after a temporary restraining oraer halting the completion of the election process was lilted-by Judge Alfred M. Kramer that afternoon. Judge Kramer lifted the restraining order issued to Michael Levinson on Wednesday by Judge Broughton, because Levinson was unable to offer proof that petitions which brought the referendum to a vote were not properly validated. Confusing shift The future of the Senate may be as uncertain as its recent past was The completion of the voting brings an uneven and uncertain end to a Senate which has been immersed in turmoil since November when chaotic. A new Senate is slated to b« formed sometime this week with then SA President Richard Mott called for new elections to revamp the new Senators being chosen from a variety of SA clubs and much pf the SA Executive Committee. Since, then, the new Executive organizations. Even those who are most optimistic about the new Committee and the Senate have become immersed in a four month legislative body are concerned with keeping order in what will surely long legislative war, with the Senate attempting to assume powers held prove to be a most hectic and confusing transition of power. by the President and the Student Wide Judiciary, while the Executive Caucuses will be held throughout the University as the clubs and Committee adamently supported the Constitutional amendment which organizations gather to choose Senators from their own ranks. The new finally ousted most Senators. SA .President Karl Schwartz, who at times practically fought a one-man battle against the Senate at many of its meetings, reacted to the huge mandate in an almost uncharacteristically somber fashion.

' During this time, several new national gun-control .groups have sprung up, each with impressive leadership and backing. One, Handgun Control Ink, has been launched by a savvy DuPont executive whose son had been a victim of the random shooting by the “Zebra Killers” in California. Pete Shields attributed his son’s death to misuse of handguns and was so enranged by the lack of action taken that he quit his job, moved to Washington and, along with other relatives of handgun handgun control law goes beyond the White House’s loss of courage. They note that neither the Carter Administration nor the professional gun-controllers have been able to mobilize a consistent majority of pro-gun curb citizens into practical political support for legislation. steady 65-7 5 A percent of Americans are behind gun registration; 88 percent favor a waiting period for permit applicants tp allow for a check on criminal records; and 70 percent favor ban on the Saturday Night Special; according to a variety of polls conducted in the past decade. Executive Vice President for Handgun Control Ink, Charles Orasin, informed The Spectrum of a new program called “students feu Gun Control”. “The NRA has recently become very fearful of NY law tough A check with the Buffalo Police Department illustrated how difficult and the tedious registration of a handgun in Aquilino maintains that the issue of gun control is one of civil rights, even though the U.S. Supreme Cqurt (U.S. versus Miller, 1939) has interpreted the Second Amendment as applying to the legality of states operating National Guard units, not as any specific to pertaining individual. “We admit that tragedy and harm are common occurrences with firearms but the firearms themselves are not the he said. “The blame cause, that belongs tp the criminals ” — minority of psychological or several months. “The process of acquiring a concealable weapon is not as simple as most people think,” said Sherrill.

He also provided some startling statistics: One in every five Americans owns a handgun. A crime involving a gun occurs somewhere in the United States every two minutes, a hundgun death every hour. There are presently 50 million handguns existing in the United States; by the year 2000, that figure will reach 100 million. Handguns account for 20 percent of the firearms people own but account for 80 percent of the illegal use of firearms. There are 15 million hunters across America and ISO million guns of all types in homes across anti-gun outfit. Another group, National Coalition to Ban Handguns is backed by 28 religious, educational, labor and public service groups. Carter riot courageous Both organizations maintain that what really underlies the absence of an effective national Bethlehem Steel—P.5 / the possibility of gun-control groups to harness the voting power and enthusiasm of the college students and the younger generation”, he noted. Orasin claimed his group takes a “middle of the road” stand on the handgun-control issue. “We favor legislation that is fair to both the handgun owner and those that want strong controls on guns.” He also admitted the Demise of Oakstone Farm—P. 14 / ‘ for handguns. “I’d say only about one in 10 come in here with a handgun purchase in mind. Most of my sales are to hunters who look for guns to shoot for sport,” he said. “In 25 years of business, I’ve never sold a handgun that’s been traced back to my store because of its use in a crime.” Sabad has also kept several firearm pieces in his home for over 30 years. “If 1 want to keep a Cleansing —continued on ' peat 16— conference—P. 16 J/WV �Defunct Senate socks ‘The Spectrum’ again M PETITIONS AVAILABLE Answering the — FOR THE FOLLOWING ELECTED POSITIONS: bdl for what could be its final round, the Student Association (SA) Senate came out fitting Friday evening in Haas Lpunge, slugging away at The Spectrum's right to endorse candidates and nibbling at the paper’s advertising base. In an offer) confusing and unruly meeting the Senate: Passed by 19-4 a motion to operate this year’s SA elections under the 1976 SA Elections Rules rather than under the guidlines established last year. The 1977 rules specifically allow SA clubs to endorse candidates, while the 197$ rules make no mention of endorsement procedures. Amended the 1976 Rules to include a provision prohibiting The Spectrum from endorsing candidates. The elections for SA officers are scheduled for April 2,3 and 4. Passed by 17-3-3 a resolution prohibiting Sub Board I, Inc., the student services corporation, and SA clubs from advertising in The Spectrum. Passed by 19-2-1, a resolution, proposed by Michael Levinson, calling for an audit of The Spectrum to be conducted by UB’s School of Management. A Sub Board sponsored audit of the publication has recently been completed and should be available this week. Levinson said he wanted Management to conduct the audit so that “every penny” of The Spectrum's finances would be scrutinized, not just “The first $250.” Made it clear that SA Vice President for Sub Board Jane Baum would be “severely reprimanded”'"is she does not make the results of the Sub Board audit public by presenting it to the Senate at its next , - * _ President Executive Vice-President VP. lor Sub-Board One, Inc.

Voted that if Killigrew fails to call the meeting, it will ,bc considered “a neglect of duties.” SA Director of Student Sco/t Jiusto opposed this measure claiming that it was a “gratuitous insult to Jim Killigrew,” and that “the Senate does not have the power to decide what is a neglect of duty.” Passed by acclamation a resolution clarifying the duties of the SA Director of International Affairs, and establishing the International . Affairs Council, Passed by acclamation a resolution directing SA President Karl Schwartz to invite a member of the Love Canal Homeowners Association to speak at the next Senate meeting.

In anticipation of this difficulty, the Springer committee has considered a reorganization of the class schedule, which would place a spectrum of related courses on one campus thus minimizing the need for busing. However, to Director of according Scheduling Richard Noll, no changes can be made now unless the University is willing to forego pre-registration. Yet, ironically, the committee needs the pre-registration data to determine which classes meet with greater student demand. — More flexible Unable to revamp the fall schedule at such a late date, the committee will look at the Course Analysis Demand (CDA) produced by pre-registration and make minor changes then. Director of Busing Roger McGill, who had earlier stated that no modification would be made in the fall bus schedule, was more flexible before UB administrators present at the meeting his superiors. “We really haven’t come to a firm conclusion yet,” McGill said, “but it’s possible we may (make changes).” Next fall, all classes on UB’s three campuses will begin on the hour, rather than on the staggered schedule of past years. McGill said he is “puzzled” over whether to keep his current schedule, by which buses leave more frequently around the 10 minute intervals after classes end, Aor to spread the bus departures evenly throughout - —Krim Roger McGill, Director of Bus ■ 'Puzzled' abou t changing curren t schedule an hour. DOB funds may increase with UB Fall credit change by Kathleen McDonough Campus editor Students and how to count them. A dull subject on the surface, but it blurs one with considerably more glitter the money this University receives from Albany each year. Indications are that budgetary pressure, through the shuffling of these counting mechanisms, have hastened both the preparation and implementation of the Springer report. Currently, there are three mechanisms for counting students: the straight head count. Full Time Equivalents (FTE) and — students. Under the FTE system, UB benefits in comparison with other SUNY schools. Under the relatively new mechanism of equated students, UB lags behind in the race for State funds. Implementation of the Springer Report will reduce the impact of equated students, UB officials say. The State Division of Budget (DOB) began the student using equated “equated” mechanism, which makes UB’s enrollment appear lower in comparison with other schools, in the 1977-1978 SUNY budget, Assistant Vice said President and Controller William Baumer. In that budget, according to Acting Executive Vice President Charles . Fogel r both the FTE count and t)ie equated student count were employed in “parallel” to set budgets. But this year, he noted the equated student figures count much more in the computations. “The equated figures were used more heavily in, the tables,” Fogel said. Incentive for ’79 With the shift towards equated student count, said Baumer, UB is at an economic disadvantage. “Overall this hurts us more,” he said. If UB employed the traditional Carnegie unit, which balances credit hours with classroom time, the equated student count would not leave any disparity between UB and other SUNY shcools. Since DOB appears to be relying iiftreasingly on the equated count, it is clearly to this University’s advantage to change its credit system. Thus, the equated count provides a monetary incentive for the Fall 1979 implementation of the Springer Report since the enrollment figures for 79-80 will determine the budget for the following year. in June 1976, all SUhfY units received a memorandum from the office of the then SUNY Vice Chancellor for Academic Unable to travel between campuses in the ten minute period between classes, students will now have to skip a period, giving them a full hour to get to their next class. Previously, McGill claimed, students would leave Main Street, for example, at 10 minutes before the hour for an Amherst class at the half hour. Now they, will have more of an option in choosing departure times. “Will they still take the bus right away?” McGill asked rhetorically. “1 don’t know any convenient way to predict that." Same campus While McGill struggles with that problem, the Springer committee will investigate ways to program courses logistically. Noll told the Springer committee th’at no effort is made now to schedule related courses on the same campus. Committee member Donald Larson found that information disconcerting. “1 would suspect that it’s not being done now out of sheer inertia or the lack of interest,” he charged. Noll, skeptical of the packaging idea and apparently worried that he’d be directed to execute a massive reorganization of the schedule, tried to encourage delay of the idea until the spring semester. But Committee Chairman Walter Kunz, who had recommended delaying implementation of the entire Springer Report two months ago because it might create unsolvable logistical problems, would not write off the Fall semester to chaos. “Whatever can be done, should be done. And if it can’t, let someone else decide that,” Kunz said. Kunz will recommend that a task force be set up soon to create a class schedule that wilHead to more convenient bus travel beginning in Spring 1980. That schedule is likely to feature more classes at 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., typically unpopular time slots with instructors and students. Spreading out the schedule in that way will open up lecture hall space on both campuses, which is limited for classes of SO or more students, according to Noll. Presently, few classes are scheduled for those times, he said, because few Departments request them. Programs Bruce Dearing detailing the guidelines for granting credit based on the Carnegie unit. The memorandum stated that all SUNY schools comply with these guidelines “in the interest of accurate academic measurement and cross-campus comparability.” Comparative edge Under the current credit hour system, UB students earn four credits per course as opposed to the norm of three at other SUNY schools. This system gave UB an “inflated number of FTE students” hi the minds of DOB, many officials here say. The equated student count, said Fogel, was “introduced primarily because, with our 4 for 3 system, DOB felt it had to come up with a different mechanism for counting.” Fogel went on to say that he “wouldn’t be surprised if, in about a year, (when the Springer Report is in effect), the equated student mechanism is gone.” general feeling among The UB administrators, said Baumer, is that the equated count was instituted specifically to take away UB’s budget comparative edge over other SUNY schools. While Baumer said he could not guess whether DOB would eventually drop the equated count, two other administrators - Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs Voldemar Jnnus and Assistant Executive Vice President Robert Wagner said that “equated students” would most likely fall by the wayside after Springer was implemented here. According to Baumer, the first notice UB had of the equated count was when it — appeared in the 77-78 Executive Budget, which was released in January 1977. The Springer Committee was formed in late spring of that year. But Engineering Professor Robert Springer said that his committee had no knowledge of the equated student mechanism throughout its deliberations. No mention of the equated student device is made in the Springer Report. Over protest Although Springer acknowledged that - the Committee was aware of some DOB pressure, he maintained that the group’s recommendations were based primarily on academic considerations. That was all a year ago. This semester, a storm of controversy blew through the University when plans for implementing the Springer Report came to a head. Student officials protested vigorously that a 1979 implementation was logistically infeasible; and they were soon joined by Undergraduate Dean John Peradotto and his Associate Walter Kunz, who both delay publicly supported a in implementation. But Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn felt major logistical problems would not be eased by a delay and advised University President Robert L. Ketter to go ahead with a Fall 1979 implemeptation. Ketter agreed. Although it remains unclear how much of a factor the equated student mechanism was in Bunn and Ketter’s decision, the financially better off University seems with the death of the four course load. - - UB students off to Albany Wednesday for hike protest On Wednesday March 21 busloads of interested students will go to Albany for a day of demonstration and lobbying against the March 2 decision by the State University of New York (SUNY) Board ofTrustees to hike lower level undergraduate tuition by $150. According to Student Association Director of Student Affairs Scott Jius1o,. students from both the City University of New York (CUNY) and SUNY will rally for legislative .action to avert the threatened increase. Organized by the Student Association of the State University (SASU), the project is expected to draw about 5,000 students. “We’re hoping to send from UB 200 to 300 students,” said Jiusto. He explained that there will be a demonstration in front of the State Legislature’s Building and lobbying for those interested with legislators. “I’d encourage even those students who feel they don’t know the issue well enough to participate,” Jiusto added. He said there will be workshops and information sheets distributed on the buses. - - From among the other SUNY schools participating, SUNY/Albany anticipates a student turn-out of 1500 to 2000 while SUNY/Bingham ton expects about 400. Although transportation is free, buses for UB will be ordered on the basis of the number of reservations made before Wednesday. All students interested should contact the UB Student Association office at 636-2590. Buses are, scheduled to leave from Amherst at .6:15 aja. and from : Main at 6:30, and will return to Buffalo late Wednesday evening. Sgns, students and spirit are welcome. 5 �Five coincident road changes threaten to disrupt UB life * i e Vice President of Facilities 'Planning John Neal explained that the University had insisted that NFTA enlarge the entrance to the Abbott loop through which the trucks must pass to leave the campus. This enlargement, said Winston, would ease traffic problems that might be caused by the tunneling project. by Joel DiMarco City Editor Mass transit, mass confusion Over the coming months, five separate road work projects threaten to entangle all traffic in the vicinity of both the Amherst Campus and the Main Street Campus. The five projects are being carried out by three separate and completely independent government agencies which each seem largely unaware of the plans of the other two. The result may be missed classes and annoying traffic tie-ups for students and faculty members at this University. One project will be the long awaited tunneling of the first portion of the new Light Rail Rapid Tranist to be conducted on the site of the Abbott Parking Lot. According to the Niagara Frontier Transit Authority (NFTA), the State agency responsible for the project, the entire tunneling operation will be conducted underground but trucks will have to leave the site every five or ten minutes to dispose of the rock debris produced by the tunneling. John Winston, Community Services Director for NFTA’s Metro Construction Division, has long given his assurances that traffic both on and off campua would not be affected by the project. Jersey Left Ramp Neal said that the tunneling work can be expected to begin “any minute” or more precisely within two or three weeks. NFTA will then begin a “drilling and trenching” operation designed to drain water through a pipeline into the Scajaquada Creek. Otherwise, the tunnels would fill with water as they were being dug. The NFTA will also be building two new parking lots near Baird Hall to replace the Abbott lot. Actual tunneling is expected to begin in May or June. A second project will involve the opposite side of' Main St- Campus as Bailey Avenue from Kensington Avenue to Winspear is resurfaced, creating traffic bottlenecks and slowdowns, particularly- during rush hours.

Inter-agency squabbling, however, between the State end the feds is getting in the way of expeditious enforcement of needed emissions standards. Meanwhile, as the bureaucrats scuffle, workers continue to be exposed to toxic cancer causing fumes. _ -drf State and feds lock horns over Bethlehem cancer hazards by Robbie Cohen Mugdan But National kditor indicated the agreement has received strong becking from local politicians including Erie County Executive Edward Rutkqwski, Lackawanna Mayor Edward J. Cavik (both of whom testified at the hearing) and Buffalo Mayor James Griffin. Rutkowski maintained that Two government environmental agencies, one Federal and one State, found themselves af loggerheads Friday afterooon over enforcement of pollution controls at Bethlehem Steel’s Lackawanna Plant. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), at a public hearing in Hamburg, voiced its disapproval of an agreement called a Delayed Compliance Order, worked out between the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and Bethlehem. The agreement mandates that the steel company install certain pollution abatement devices on their coke oven batteries by July of this year, while cutting down on other emissions by later dates. The coke oven process, an integral step in the manufacture of that steel, liberates certain toxic substances r- mainly coal tar-pitch have been found in laboratory studies to increase the risk af cancer among coke oven workers by three to seven percent as compared with other steel workers. The carcinogenic emissions also endanger the health of residents in the surrounding community of Lackawanna, as a prodigious amount of the toxic emissions are spewed out into the air, contributing to the abysmally low air quality of the Niagara frontier. the EPA is squabbling over semantics, “while the fact is that Bethlehem has made a real good faith effort at pollution controls, spending millions over the last several years.” Cavik stressed how important Bethlehem is for the economic well-being of Erie County and Western New York in general. “We must strike a balance between ecology and economics,” h& said- Bethlehem employs 8700 workers and is the nation’s fourteenth largest steel mill by output (the third largest by area). Until the plant was hit by depressed econimic conditions and the nationwide steel slump it employed 20,000 workers and was the fourth largest mill in the nation by output. The United Steel Workers (USW) Union has joined the EPA in opposition to the Delayed Compliance order. One former coke oven supervisor testified that for years Bethlehem has ignored the worker safety standards set up by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration which recently slapped the steel company with $22,000 in penalties for a string of health and safety violations. Bethlehem, he charged, “is driven only by the profit motive and has no real concern for the health and livlihood of their workers.” - Need EPA approval 150 needless deaths The Delayed Compliance Order which Bethlehem has signed, must obtain the approval of the EPA before it can be implemented. An EPA lawyer, Walter Mugdan, testified Friday that the agency opposes the order because it fails to meet Federal guidelines for such agreements as outlined in the Federal Clean Air Act. Certain provisions of the order to ekape including an escape clause which enables compliance with the order in time of war, strike or other emergency, the extended compliance dates and certain emissions standards which the EPA sees as lax'- prevent the EPA from approving the order, ' > - Walter Hannan, a USW health official and a former coke oven worker who now suffers from a lung ailment, asserted that Bethlehem ■has already been alloted sufficient time to come into compliance with Federal and State emissions standards.

According to an EPA study. - —continued on page 18— Grandpa clause eases concern over course load ‘ ’ by Mark Meltzer Campus Editor for Grandpa! v. University President Robert L. Ketter has approved a grandfather clause that will lessen the impact of the Springer Report on currently enrolled students. While many students will still be compelled to take a five course load, as effected by the Springer Report’s devaluation of most courses to three credits, the grandfather clause will allow students Hooray on schedule. The grandfather clause permits students with 88 or more credit hours by September 1, 1979 (two courses behind normal progress for a 128. Effectively, it senior) to graduate with 122 credits, instead means that a senior, who had expected to take eightcourses in his final year, before Springer, will now take nine. If no grandfather clause had been written, that student would have had to take eleven more courses: to graduate Unavoidable Additionally, it allows any student with 24 or more credits by September 1 to graduate with just 124 credits. A student with 32 credits (normal progress) could probably incorporate the necessary amount of credits for graduation into six five-course semesters, according to Springer student representative Scott Jiusto. To do that, a student would have to take just two four-credit courses. “Chances are no student will avoid taking a four credit course for the entire three in, among other places. years,” Jiusto said. Some courses will remain at Engineering, Health Science and English composition four credits while most others drop to three..

Perhaps now, with what appears to be some student support, Student Association can reotganize itself and get back on the track of reason, which has been ripped and twisted apart this year by some of the bitterest political infighting in student government history. We urge all SA clubs and organizations mentioned in the referendum to take their new responsibility seriously and nominate responsible, concerned people to fill the new Senate. At the same time, we hope that other responsible and concerned people will care enough to run for office in / the upcoming SA elections. SA campaigns have historically suffered fiorn a lack of qualified people. A full field of interested, insightful candidates could be the strongest tonic student activism could ever receive here, because it is quite clear that Student Association is at a critical juncture in its history. Within three weeks, there will be a totally new cast of characters; and the new regime will be faced with the restoration of lower level science courses, which, by the way, have increased content or contact but are in complete compliance with the guidelines of the Dearing Memorandum, in isolation from all other departures from the 3-for-3 format, and to force a reduction in credit before any other program is required to do so would be blatantly unfair. The Curriculum Committee will go about its business quietly and deliberately'on this matter, and. incidentally, will take a good deal longer than the one week the Larson Subcommittee took to examine 1 hope that the university a complex issue. community does not think that the pattern of implementation for the Springer Report is being set by the precipitousness and superficiality with which this subcommittee submitted its report and Mr Meltzer reported it. not Mark Meltzet’s cover story (3/14/79) on the Steering Committee Implementation subcommittee is, of course, interesting, but only as an example of how academics proliferate committees Springer and subcommittees, sometimes, as here, to duplicate what others have done or are charged to do. The subcommittee must already have known that the Springer Report called for a justification for all departures from the three-credit-for-three-contact module in non-laboratory courses and in laboratory courses which, when the laboratory was subtracted, still showed a remainder that departed from that standard. It must also have known that the D.U.E. Curriculum Committee, whose proper charge this matter is, has it on its agenda for careful and deliberate scrutiny within the total context of departures from the 3-for-3 format. To single out the logic and reason in a body that has been tumbling through a weird, melodramatic carnival of absurd legislation and almost daily acrimony. Of course, the deposed Senate still being misled by Michael Levinson will not see the veteran activist overwhelming vote as any reason to step down. More legal roadblocks to a new Student Association will surely be thrown up in desperation, as if the 1367 votes against the present Senate were nothing more than a few ignorant souls fooled by The Spectrum and by the SA officers. While we are relieved that the student body or that portion that took the time to vote was concerned enough to vote YES on the referendum; we are not at all pleased that political disagreements had to end with the dissolution of what was intended to be the elected body of the students. But we must note that it was an independent student David Hoffman who raised this restructuring issue and it was 1632 independent students who decided it. And that is John J.

Sooner or later, someone is going to realize that the consumer in certain cases can look up his ailment, match it with the appropriate prescription and hike to the pharmacy with the same information and advice for which a doctor would have charged $25. An even more fundamental change in medicine has already begun. The family doctor, whose task has been to treat clients who have become ill, is slowly being replaced by the group doctor, whose role is to keep people well. Health MaintenanceOrganizations (HMD’s) are springing up in urban - - a staff of doctors in aclinic atmosphere who treat families and individuals that have paid a annual fee to be kept in good health. All routine medical care is free and, since the doctors are organized like a profit-sharing collective, there is an incentive to keep people well and avoid unnecessary surgery (which is probably the biggest scandal in Health Care today.) There are some problems with HMO’s but generally they are cheaper and more responsive that the family doctor, who makes money off the abscence of good health. Dental care, of course, is completely analagous and is a likely target-for HMO’s. Group are to plans jflso beginning revolutionalize the legal profession.

And, with lawyers now beginning to advertise services, a free-wheeling competition has brought down prices almost immediately. There are several common themes about these •very sensible changes. All reflect an increasing mistrust of the professional the doctor does not always know best, Americans are finding. This challenges the very foundation of the professional class: self-governance. We have allowed professionals to convince us that only a doctor can and should tell another doctor what to do. There are, very clearly, limits to this logic, although the professionals’ official spokesmen particularly the American Medical Association would like us to believe otherwise. being class, professional The besides self-goverfiing, is a potent force in all “governments, federal, state and local.

First, let us be absolutely clear about the context of this discussion. My 2/26 memorandum was an interpretation of a requirement on distribution, designed by the Faculty Senate. As I state in my memorandum, if that interpretation is incorrect, the Senate will say so, and I shall admit without embarrassment to having misread them. If the Colleges consider that my reading does not represent the consensus of the Faculty Senate on the matter, they should be taking their arguments to that body, not to me. If they consider that my reading does represent the consensus of the Senate, then they should be pleading the case for a change in policy. If they are reluctant to do either, there is still a third course: plead the case with appropriate departments for cross-listing. But let them not try to conjure away reality, and to create for the university community the fiction that I am the cause of their complaint. Second, a corollary of the point just made; nowhere in my memorandum of 2/26 is there a statement of agreement (or, for that matter, disagreement) with the distribution policy which I have been required to interpret. Interpretation does not require agreement or disagreement, A minor point, perhaps, but I’m sure some folks will have missed it. Third, nowhere in my memorandum is there an slightly pejorative judgment, inference, or insinuation, explicit or implicit, about the quality of courses offered in the Colleges, or of the, internal procedqres used in evaluating them. The tone of the Colleges’ Curriculum Committee’s letter in The Spectrum and of their interim Dean’s publicized remarks seems to imply that there was. To say, as I speaking not from hearsay, but as a former said working member and chairman of the D.U.E. that that Committee’s Curriculum Committee evaluation of Colleges’ courses is not ter denigrate thera, (1 did not, parenthetically, use the term“rubber stamp” attributed to me by .the Colleges’ Curriculum Committee.) It is rathet io point out -f and this is the heart pf tAe matter tlgat in ths.sase of Colleges courses the D.U.E. Curriculum Committee has no guarantee that, in content, format, and qualifications of instructor, such courses are imbedded in a system of extramural disciplinary controls and accountability which transcends departments and the university, which is national and even international in character, and to which departments must be in some measure attuned. The issue is disciplinary accountability. The Colleges and their interim Dean only becloud the issue by asserting what any fool knows, that departments and disciplines are not identical. Who is claiming that they are? Certainly nothing of the sort is implied in my memorandum, nor does my an interpretation, remember -r depend argument on it. No,-departments are not necessarily identified with disciplines, but departments are the guardians ot disciplines. They, not the Colleges, are charged with responsibility for the integrity of disciplines. They, not the Colleges, certify candidates for degrees in disciplines. Faculty members gain or do not gain tenure, promotion, and other forms of recognition as they are adjudged not by the department itself or by the university (so say nothing of even less permanent and in many organizations), but by a national even — — - guild of professionals (another critical word for our discussion). The discipline is defined and monitored, furthermore, by this society of professionals as a whole, not by any individual within it, whose specialized interest will rarely reflect the multiplicity and range of the body of knowledge he professes. That is why involvement of regular departmental faculty in the Colleges is no guarantee of disciplinary regulation, unless, through cross-listing, the department takes responsibility for the disciplinary legitimacy of the courses taught by that instructor. The Colleges may indeed point out that this professional guild system of norms is an ideal which many departments fall short of in practice; they even charge some departments with “casual curriculum reviews”. That may be. But who judges? And how? The present issue is not one of practice, but of theory and policy. The question is not quid J'acti, but quid ittris. The distribution requirement, in my regular intends to interpretation, exposure disciplines.other than one’s own. The responsibility for regular disciplines is departmental. It is as simple as that. The Colleges' Curriculum Committee’s letter considers it interesting to speculate on my attitude concerning certain programs. Their concern is better expressed in their interim Dean’s own words: “The Schools of Management, Social Work, Architecture and Environmental Design, and Information and Library Studies did not exist as free-standing entities at that time (1969); such course-offering entities as the Council on International Studies, RAR1, the Office of Urban Affairs, Millard Fillmore College were not mentioned, yet many courses in these entities are available for distribution credit.” This is confused, on several counts; the interim Dean knows better but the Curriculum Committee of the Colleges may, not. (1) Information and Library Studies is a graduate not an undergraduate program. (2) CIS, RARI, QUA, and MFC courses are not available for distribution credit unless cross-listed in a department. (3) Management, Social Work (on'ce, but no longer an undergraduate program), and Architecture and Environmental Design submit to the same kind of disciplinary regulation and that other in accountability obtains department Although, as I have said, this is a question*.of general policy governing all Colleges courses, I must say that 1 am troubled by the inconsistent logic of the Colleges in requesting distribution credit for only 26 (1 count 33) of their courses. If what they say about the rigor of internal and I have never curricular scrutiny is true disputed that, then what makes these 26 (33?) Courses so special? The criteria mentioned in the original request were: “the extent to which they deal with innovative subject matter not addressed by other academic units; the evidence of, or potential for, their broad student appeal; and the regularity with which the course is offered, or will be offered.” 1 may be missing something obvious here, but I fail to see what these criteria have to do with justification for distribution credit. The Colleges’ Curriculum Committee claims to “know that Dean Peradotto does not support and is not appropriately enthusiastic about” the Colleges. In closing, let me remind the university community that nothing in my memo of 2/26 or in any of my public statements can, to the fair-minded observer, be construed that way. If there is, let it be cited, chapter and verse. — Jphn J.

Although it-will probably cause mass confusion, the Springer Committee felt we should get one credit hour for every hour spent in class. This will force us to carry a heavier load, but this new system seemed fair to me. Now Mr. Larson and his committee are refusing to allocate one credit for every classroom hour in science courses. I feel if we receive three credits for three hours of instruction in English, we should at least receive five credits for the six to seven hours spent in Chemistry. Michael R.

While it is true that I encountered some red tape in working with Lockwood, the staff, and Mrs. Bender, has been especially Ms. supportive and helpful. I was not given assistance because the librarians are not permitted to work on displays. I’m afraid 1 may have not explained this clearly enough. The “runaround” refers to the troubles with publicity which began four weeks ago. At least The Spectrum was kind enough to print Gn the Art something. Sterling March 7, 1979 Gretchen Knapp �feedback } 6o nondaymondaymon w Journalistic responsibility Goldberg responds To the Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to publically apologize to Ronald P. Turk for signing his name to a letter I wrote entitled “Another Health Fee Question”, which appeared in the March 9 issue of this paper. While I was admittedly a ‘Practical Joker’ and in the wrong, this occurance raised the issue of questionable journalistic responsibility on the part of The Spectrum. You guys should verify the identity of the letter writers! David Prager Editor's note: It is probably now safe to say that we've heard everything. So, you believe, after “fooling" us and angering the target of your little sick joke that we should somehow prevent you from launching other escapades like this in the future: in other words, we should protect you from people like yourself. What would you suggest, wise-guy? Perhaps we should keep 25,000 student signatures on hand and check all letters against those. Of course, we all forged notes from our mothers in grade school, so there's no reason to believe you couldn't do the same. Maybe we should telephone the signees of each letter and ask them if they indeed intended to write the letter they allegedly wrote. But no, you might be on the other end posing as someone you're not. Ah, then the solution must be to obtain voice-prints of all students, keep them here in our offices, tape alt calls we make to confirm letters, make prints of the calls and compare the prints to the originals so that you absolutely cannot play another practical joke like this again. But voice prints are not acceptable in court, and if you're bold enough to write a letter like this then who knows what legal horrors you might drag us through. No problem, though, we have the final solution We'll obtain at our expenst the dental records of all students, so that even if we want to print a letter posthumously there's a way to cheek against phonics like you. Or would you dispose of the body to foil us again? The fact is that we cheek all letter writers to see if they are students, faculty or staff Silly of us or as you say journalistically irresponsible to trust the student body enough it sign their true names to letters. As for you. we must say that you have swept these pages to new heights of absurdity. Of course, how do we really know that you are you? You could be someone posing as someone who posed as someone. We’ll never know really. But we do know that you're welcome to write in again. Give it a few weeks, though, April Fool's day is coming. Unless, of course, you steal candy from a seven year-old girl and then blame her for holding the lollipop too loosely. In that case, you would immediately make Police Blotter. Now, who said we can't take a joke? To the Editor. I’m respnding to Claire Nelson’s letter of March it always irks me (also make me feel good) that I’m fallible, but 1 guess I made a semantic mistake in the Peter Tosh caption published on the 2nd. When I said that Jamaica was communistic note the small 1 just meant that it sure seemed that way case “c” from what 1 ve been reading lately. That 1 used a small "c” meant a metaphorip majority which seemed to control the country, you know vocal minorities and such can seem in tile majority. II I had meant the literal majority, 1 would have used an upper case letter. Nevertheless, since it upset you so much, it evidently did not have the broad meaning believed it had. To your statement that Tosh was not physically beaten by government folk in Jamaica, all media I’ve read or heard contradict your words. Prove it to me But the main thing 1 wish to point out is that, if I made a mistake it is my fault and no one else’s. To continually blame The Spectrum in your letter (when you so obviously have feelings about sensationalism that are deep rooted, and stem from years of perception) is unfair. Also, 1 want to correct an editorial mistake in the “Women” section published on the 7th. The last sentence in the fifth paragraph should read “Ronstadt’s promotion of Karla Bonoff is an example.” Ronstadt in no way has had anything to do with promoting Carly Simon as far as I’m concerned. 12 - - I Control the news To the Editor. Your coverage of the Sub-Board forum on the student health insurance had two surprising omissions. Apparently, The Spectrum does not deem newsworthy the statements of the Muslim Student Association and of Rabbi Shabsai Wolfe of Hillel House, both objecting to the forced payment for abortion imd calling for an option in the plan for mandatory - Harold the sake of conscience That you did not judge these statements newsworthy can only follow from your editorial position that the issue itself is not important. It seefris to be your strategy to not let the campus know of this significant opposition, to attempt control of the news here. — Regina Kane Goldberg more feedback on page 13 — Athletic apathy To the Editor. * On February 7, 1979, The Spectrum published my “Guest Opinion” on its editorial page, in which 1 requested that individual students provide reasons for the apathy toward ahtletics at UB, As of March 1, 1979, 1 had received four replies from students, two of Which appeared as letters to The Spectrum two by personal correspondence to me, one unsigned and with such definite racial charges that it does not deserve further mention here. That respons, alone, or Igck thereof, is positive proof that apathy does exist. You didn't even take time to write, “I don’t attend UB athletic events because . . I found interesting a recent letter from H. Stephen Briggs published by The Spectrum in which the writer , stated; “l am totally amazed at the amount of student apathy which is present at (JB. It is inconceivable to me that such a large precentage of the student population does not care about anything but their own personal needs.” Mr. Briggs was concerned about the lack of student interst in the Muscular Dystrophy Dance Marathon, certainly a more worthy project than intercollegiate athletics. But it appears typical of the frustrating experience of promoting any idea at UB. In the case of athletic apathy, I responded to each writer personally, except in the case of the unsigned letter, no great when you consider the small number of entries in the apathy sweepstakes. A comprehensive list of reasons offered follows (with my reply in parathesis): -Not worth my time (obviously, attendance at events involving - your classmates is not high on your list of priorities). walk or jog to the games. And millions find sports viewing a relief from daily problems including academic worries). -Straight exercise does more good than athletics (ask a swimmer, wrestler or gymnast). -If you want to live up to your title, build me an Amherst gym, go to Albany to distribute UB sports information about an Amherst gym (my title is Director of Sports Information, not Lobbyist for Athletic Facilities. Sports information is made available to all interested persons, legislators included. Members of the Dept, of RARI did, in fact, help bring attention to the facilities problem, and a recreational-physical education-athletic complex will be under construction soon). -University is too large, too impersonal (are not'Penn State, Michigan, USC, etc. also large and impersonal?). -Not like high school, don’t know the athletes (you would if you came to the games). -Free time af a minimum (less than at Penn State Michigan* USC, etc.?). —Too difficult to get to hockey games in North Tonawanda (true, but many computers live in the-area, other students have cars, and late in the season buses were provided from the Ellicott Complex, the cost shared by the SA and the Athletic Dept. Still, a good reason for students to be interested in the restoration of the ice arena plans to the Amherst Campus construction schedule). -Losing has a big effect on attendance (also true, and UB athletes get discouraged with lack of support. With support will come wins). —Wrestling is not one of the major sporting events in the U.S. (wrong, collegiate wrestling enjoys great fan support in many sections of the country, and is one of the fastest growing sports). -Too many major league pro attractions in Buffalo (two, to be exact, until pro baseball returns this summer when UB has no sports events and other major cities Pittsburgh and LA for example support both pro and collegiate teams). (A note of explanation here; I know Buffalo’s football Bulls are not the Pitt Panthers or UCLA Bruins but there are only two reasons why, lack of gate support and money With the first comes the second.) There is a general lack of concern for the individual athletes (an entirely false charge. Ask the athletes now competing about their coaches, and the administrative staff at Clark Hall). -We are no longer viewed as student first, athlete second (again false, coaches must he concerned that athletes do well academically, or they will not be eligible to compete. And as'friends as well as coaches they arcresponsive to the well-being of their charges). -There are more cases of ineligibility now than in past years (true only in women’s athletics, where until recently there were np academic requirements for participation Now all athletes must meet minimum academic requirements set by the University, and national administrative organizations such as the NCAA. The - No satisfaction in UB victory, defeat or draw (Are you pleased when UB earns positive attention in any area not related to your mqjor?) -Does not do-Jhe University good or ill either way (UB does benefit through publicity in the media since it attracts quality student-athletes to the University, alumni stay interested in their alma-mater and contribute funds, and many persons with no UB ties are interested in UB athletics). My education doe s not benefit (except that education is the accumulation of a wide variety of knowledge and experiences, not only preparatory work in your future profession). My social life doesn’t benefit, it saps my free time (your social life could improve by meeting a cross-section of students, alumni and friends of the University who do attend). -Saps funds (obviously not a theory subscribed to by a majority of students who voted the return of football, and taxpayers who support athletics at all levels), -Doesn’t benefit my health or fitness (it would if you . - - - Athletic Dept, doe s not set the standards, it complies, and it was pointed out recently that application to only athletics, and not other extra-curricular activities at UB is discriminatory). Title IX has caused the recruitment of athlete-students (I’m amazed this charge came from a woman athlete. Title IX has benefited women’s athletics at — UB. And athletes requirements). must still meet academic entrance -Athletes are just numbers to the administration, which doesn’t care if they survive at UB (wholly false, without athletes coahces cannot coach, and they cannot coach unhappy athletes succesfully, which is what it’s all about). � � � The last several charges were made by a student-athlete who had an unpleasant personal experience with one coach, centered on the reasons for competition and the need to comply with team regulations, however disagreeable personally. Kither you compete on the same terms, or you don't compete. It’s the athlete’s choice, just- as you’re not required to attend athletic events. AncUt’s the athlete s choice whether or not he or she meets the academic requirements necessary for competition. You were not forced to attend UB, you did the required scholastic preparation' and met entrance requirements. We assume you chose us as much as we chose you, and that you are capable of continuing to meet academic requirements. We give you the opportunity to also continue to participate in athletics, and to attend athletic events as spectators, but only if you choose to do so. Personally, I am not discouraged by the lack of response to my request or by the reasons cited above. The best reason offered, and I include it here, has been that the student is involved in a commercial avocation that requires time and effort.. Yet, that student has since attended a hockey game, and has answered my reply to his original letter, conceding some points, offering other reasons. Hope springs eternal! We fmyself and members of the Dept, of RARH will continue to interest an ever-increasing number of students in UB s athletic program. Several projects are already underway, you will read about them in The Spectrum over the next several weeks and in early l r all. As i explained to one student w?iter, my position is as long as I do the job, regardless of if 100 or 10,000 students show up for athletic events. But, I am interested in the total success of the UB athletic program. f an you, currently as students and eventually as graduates, be any less interested in the reputation of your alma mater? secure I.arrv (i. Steele ��o j L * 3 <X* yu* PS :: «- * tf m ‘ V av.v ‘Keep Oaf’ Editor’s note: Last summer, then The Spectrum Feature Editor Susan Gray wrote two stories on the Love Canal neighborhood of Niagara Falls, New York. She described how the chemicals dumped there several years before by Hooker Chemical Company had gradually oozed their way to the surface of the homeowners’ properties. She reported the residents' horror, their indignance over the authorities’ lack of action. About a week later, the New York Times ran a story: the state declared Love Canal an environmental and health hazard. Governor- Hugh Carey flew in by helicopter, surprising everybody, and promised to do all he could to help the distraught neighborhood. A week later. Time magazine ran several pages on'the story, fraught with color photos. Now the homeowners of the Love Canal neighborhood are enraged. Under the leadership of Lois Gibbs, the Love Canal Homeowners Association is protesting how the Slate leadership Seems to have forgotten its commitment. Environmentalists are citing the Love Canal situation as a prime example of how bureaucracies gloss over the horrible human realities that abuse of chemical and nuclear technology can bring. The two articles written in this special section, both by Assistant Feature Editor Brad Bermudez, who visited the area and interviewed both homeowners and construction workers are not meant to be comprehensive, by any means. They are more intended to give the reader a brief impression of the area, and the controversy surrounding it. More importantly, this section serves to introduce a series of four public forums, sponsored by the Environmental Studies Center at UB, with political and environmental experts discussing how society might handle the responsibility of deadly toxic wastes. The first two forums, to be held in Wuldman Theatre in Norton Hall, will be March 2l and 22, beginning at 7:30 p.m. The Spectrum will provide in depth coverage of these two, as well as the final two forums held one week later. - An unsettling walk where ‘the soi by Brad Bermudez It was a brisk February day and the workers had begun cleanup operations several weeks ahead of schedule. Workers wearing bardhats, face shields and rubber over-garments were “steam-sterilizing” metal beams used for drainage trenches. “I don’t think it’s that dangerous.” said one of the workers with a sterilizer in his hand, “as long as you don’t touch any of this stuff. Most of the workers preferred not to say anything. Said one, “I’m here to gel a job done, not to make headlines.’ 1 And another, “I’m not supposed to say anything.” An electrician reluctantly admitted. “A lot of people refused to work here. 1 don’t want to be here but if I wasn’t. I’d be on the bench.” The electrician was working -around a roofless vat collecting leachate beneath the clay cap. Inside the vat, the leachate, a black tarry liquid, curdled before being pumped to a processing station. The leachate had an eye watering, headache-inducing odor. A puddle of the noxious substance stained the snow surrounding the tank. “We don’t know ,r what this stuff ig, said the electrician, “but we have to wear masks every time we work near it.

Toxicologist Beverly Paigen: ‘The federal government isn’t willing to help’ Beverly Paigen is a volunteer, like many others who have devoted countless hours, and expended boundless energy for the victims of the Love Canal catastrophe. What makes her different is that she is a professional environmental toxicologist employed at Roswell Park Memorial Institute and is donating her time at the request of the Love Canal residents. “The area residents,” said Paigen, “asked me to analyze data they have collected on the heajth effects outside the evacuated area and suggest a direction in which the Stale Paigen's studies were conducted studies should no.” n independently of those by tint New York State Health Department and concentrated on the effect of old buried stream beds aiid swamps, known as swails. in spreading the chemicals. Her findings differ leeching significantly from the Stale’s. What she found was a high incidence of miscarriages, suicides, birth detects, by peraefivily, epilepsy, kidney problems, and a host’of other afflictions occurring more frequently near the swails. \eeording to the researcher, the Stale's data on birth defects does not include nine documented eases present in her data. Also, the Stale’s n report demonstrates a miscarriage rale two limes greater than normal for Love Canal Women, while Paigen’s studies show a risk three and a half times greater. More evacuation Hawed on her findings, evacuation of 263 additional Paigen has called for the families near tin' swail areas around 100-103 streets. The present evacuation area includes 97-99 streets. According to Paigeu, the Stale has been reluctant to accept her findings, based on what they claim is “data collected in an unscientific manner." She admitted, “I’m nut being an objective scientist. I feel that there is enough evidence in some areas to warrant more evacuations. Now 1 want to gel the .Stale to do the kinds of studies that will prove ibis.” Paigeu is ambivalent toward the Stale’s role in the Love Canal clean up. “I feel New Y ork has done a belter job with Ibis disaster than many other states, both the Niagara Health Department and the Environmental Protection Agency —continued on page 12— �M C.A.C. announces Vacancies for the 1979 - 80 year EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR INTERNAL DIRECTORS (2) EXTERNAL DIRECTORS (2) RECRUITMENT DIRECTORS (2) PUBLICITY COORDINATOR VAN COORDINATOR � TREASURER Toxicologist —continued from page 11— � Stipended .,.

State researchers compared their findings with a control group,of Montreal women and in other instances used national averages of disease occurence for comparison. Paigen, on the other hand, studied a control group comprised of residents immediately north 6f the Canal near Colvin Avenue anil she is confident of the results. In order to extract a representative sample, approximately fit) per cent l»f the people in the area were interviewed. She also studied the incidence of nervous breakdowns, the factor neglected hy the Stale which provided the most conclusive evidence of the chemicals’ hazards'. Community Action Corps is the largest student volunteer organization on campus! We Praise the housewives Paigen praised the work of area housewives who gathered the data. “The .State’s hypothesis was that the chemicals moved opt from the canal evenly, It look the housewives to discover the impact of tin- swails in distributing tin leachate. It’s an interesting object lesson in what people can do when they’re organized.” Paigen feels the State and Federal governments’ negligence may he due to their reluctance to discover more Love Canals in the lirea, noting. “Scientists are in a conflict of interest situation when the government doesn't vvitnl to spend a lot of money.” She accused the Federal government of inconsistent logic because it poured millions of dollars into the area for Itli/zard of ’77 relief yet won’t contribute funding for the Love Canal clean up. “Mere we have something which is much more serious and the Federal government is not, willing to help. It doesn't make, much sense to me why one should be declared a disaster and the other not.”' As it compelenI- toxicologist. Paigen has impressive credentials.

By now, 1 am sure various people have written to correct your calling Einstein’s large unfinished work the General Relativity Theory. Actually it is called the Elnified Field Theory. General Relativity, his masterwork, was mostly finished by 1 c 1 5. As for Einstein’s well-known difficulties in school there is this other side his instruction consisted of nothing more than dull rote, and/or he was too busy studying on his own. The former was the case at the German Gymnasium he attended, where the Greek and Latin classics were taught in their original languages, (It was a Greek teacher there, not a math teacher, who told him off.) taught himself Euclidean However, ’Einstein geometry at the young age of twelve. More of this occurred when he studied physics at the Zurich Polytechnic later. His college problems stemmed from the fact that the Polytechnic offered no courses on the newly-created Electromagnetic Theory of Maxwell, and so Einstein, being interested, learned it on his own. And it was just this knowledge which led him to Special Relativity. For. it is true, as vou stated, that Einstein knew about “smoothly moving trains.” but then again so did Newton, at least in regard to mechanical phenomena. Einstein’s > assertion was that this “equivalence must extend also to electromagnetic great paradoxical postulate about the velocity of light Anvwav. I wish to sav that, contrary to myth unto Relativity, but that many things led up to his .•realions. His self-taught knowledge speaks for itself. Now, as for 1 mc2, so often connected with atom bombs and the conversion of mass to energy, there is this side: the equation was originally ( 1905) written in inverted form and meant that certain forms of energy, namely light, have mass (or weight, = if you like). Einstein then asserted that “evidently it makes no difference” what form the energy is in. and so we have the novel idea that light, heat, and even motion have mass! Enough physics. Einstein knew nothing about ongoing researches into splitting the atom. Fermi, Einstein (after learning of fission), and others were very worried that the Nazis might be working with uranium. After the war Einstein stated that had he known of the plaza’s ignorance of nuclear fission, he would never have written that famous letter to Roosevelt. During the 1 USD's Einstein used convincing people to end war forever. He said “Since oUr discoveries about the atom roughly: irift toward unparalleled catastrophe Sadly and ironically, so many in science today who are in awe of Einstein’s genius havy paid no heed to this thought. If we cannot understand his physics, we t this last quote should suffice. Mark Marinch What is SOAF? wants general education in To the Editor Students at UB, the administration is shitting in our faces. For the past few years, and yes this year too, important decisions are being made that affect all of us. Issues such as General Education, The Springer Report, and the Colleges etc. are being considered, voted on, and implemented without our approval. Whether you are familiar with these issues or not only is the administration not, the point is this not interested in knowing what we want and how we feel, but even if they did know they would’t care. SHITTING IN OUR FACES. Let’s take General Education for an example. If it is implemented as it is presently proposed we would change from a University where students are given the opportunity to choose from and take a large number of electives, to a University where the student would be required to choose from certain specified general knowledge areas. There are a lot of good points made for both sides. Who knows? Maybe 90% of the student body - one form or another. If that is the case then that’s fine with us. But 1) We don’t know how the students feel, and 2) Even if we did know, we would have absolutely no say in the matter anyway. If 90% of the student body wanted Gen. Ed. and the Faculty-Sfenate and Administration didn't want it, there would be no questions asked, no consultation, and no interest shown for the students views. There would be NO Gen. Ed. many faculty members and Although administrators don’t feel this way, the general attitude seems to be “We are experienced in these matters and Believe Us, We Know What’s Good For You.” Well SOAF (Save Our Academic Freedom) doesn’t buy that. “Bullshit Administration. Here we are. We are students and we care and we’re going to take control of the decisions affecting our lives. NOW!” Everyone please come and find out about SOAF. We need each others support, ’he idea of thousands fighting for their rights scares the administration. Yet in a way they laugh at us too they don’t think we can do it. They think we don’t care, they think we’re ignorant and so they take advantage of us. They shit in our faces.

Members oj SOA /■ ■o �I » a. ; j i Sub Board debates spending of $50,000 insurance rebate by Elena Cacavas Campus Editor That S50.000 windfall Sub Board I Inc. has policy has stirred a mild debate over how the money should be spent. University President Robert L. Ketter has suggested that, if the money cannot be returned to students covered by the 1976 policy, it should be applied to next year’s student-wide insurance policy. Meanwhile, Sub Board officials say that, after extensive discussions, they favor the money being put toward the enrichment of Health care services on received from the 1976 insurance campus. The $50,000 was returned to Sub Board, the student corporation, by New New York Life Inc., which reaped gains on the 1976 policy in excess of the administration costs plus a reasonable profit margin'. The contract with New York Life stipulated that the excess money, if any, may be used in three ways: as a rebate to students covered by the policy, as a subsidy for future years’ policies, or to improve health care services on campus. Sub Board officials have been actively discussing the three options within the University Health Advisory Committee, composed of Insurance students and administrators. Not as fair According to Ketier’s assistant. Ron Stein, “The President believes ideally that the money should go back to the students who paid it. He realizes, however, that the cost and difficulties associated with doing so may eventually result in insignificant dollar returns.” Stein said Ketter maintains that, since the money was generated from policy holders, it should go back to them in the form of premium reductions. Ketter was unavailable for comment on Friday. Sub-Board Chairperson Jane Baum, pointing out that Sub Board is the policy holder, claimed the advisory committee feels that alternative is “not as fair” as the one which would enrich services. “It wouldn’t benefit original holders”, she argued, “Just because it’s from past holders doesn’t mean it should go to others who are not directly related.” She said that the committee’s claim was that an improvement drive would benefit the most people, “in an essential Jane Baum.

His firing, Ketchum admits, has virtually crippled his cardi&cas a University instructor and will probably prevent many of fn?m being philosophical writings (on published and distributed among scholars. Ketchum is completely disenchanted with UB. He sees his community as the last bastion of general education here. “People, the administrators here, tend to confuse higher education with just more education,” Ketchum believes. “Ketter’s record of giving students an education is terrible.

The resolution will soon be considered by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee. tiles The motion will be forwarded by the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee for a similar endorsement. A January 29 announcement by the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG)stated that the tiny asbestos fibers from the basement practice room ceilings of the Music Department's Baird Hall home were posing a hazard requiring 'immediate alarm The alert has drawn varied degrees of response front parlies involved.

Asbestos has been linked primarily to lung cancer, but also to cancers of the throat, stomach, colon and rectum, Asbestosis a fibrous malting of the lungs requires, according to reports, higher concentrations of asbestos exposure than does the incurable cancer, mesothelioma. A campaign by NYP1RG has solicited recently outside assistance such as UUP’s ty help along corrective action in Baird Hall. - No delays Although UUP President Oliver Gibson said Friday that his organization has been involved with the issue “at an informal level for some time,” NYP1RG official Bob Franki said that the Union became active after its President-Elect, William Allen, was “He then approached. the immediately presented resolution,” Franki added. According to Franki, little debate the surrounded resolution’s passage which calls upon UB administrators to order immediate air sampling tests and remove the hazard without delay “if any asbestos fibers are found in the air.” “When Hunt was asked for a comment,” Franki reported, “he said that he, not NYPIRG, was the expert and made allusions to inaccuracies in our statements on the related dangers.” To date, despite documented evidence that low concentrations of asbestos are carcinogenic, Hunt maintains that the levels in Baird Hall produce no hazard. He has voiced his support, however, of replacement and claims the project awaits the necessary funding.

The audience of “soap” fans looked like they were ready to wash his mouth out with Clorox 2. Entitled “What the Critics and Viewers Say About What They See,” the panel was the last segment of a two-day conference featuring academtans and soap opera actors, writers, producers and reviewers. Under the direction of UB Communications professor Mary B. Cassata, the program wds designed to present a critical view of the daytime television dramas a social and cultural as - phenomenon. The audience of some 300 resisted the few however, attempts of the various speakers tp tarnish the already shoddy soap image, clearly opera demonstrating the fierce loyalty of suds addicts. An estimated 50 million Americans per week stop whatever they are doing, at work or at home, to adhere their eyes and cars to favorite soaps. While the 13 operas currently aired nationwide are often scoffed at by high-brow scholars, they are no joke to the three major networks which realize 80 to 90 percent of their from daytime profits television advertising. Slap in the'face “It’s about people time out stopped snobbing soap operas,” declared' Sarah Felder, who plays Shioban on Ryan's the Hope currently , seventh-ranked soap at four years an infant of the family, where Guiding Light is a 42-year oldster, dating back to the early radio days of serial drama. Felder asserted that while most television — Gunning Inconsistency i ' Orasin attributed much of the problem of controlling handgun use to the patchwork of laws —from very weak to fairly .strict found in states across the country. “New York State has passed some — ' toughest gun-control legislation in the country: Despite these restrictions on the purchase and use of handguns, it has been found that 96 percent of the handguns used in crimes in New York came from surrounding states where gun-control is more lax. This inconsistency makes individual state laws virtually ineffective,” he emphasized. Executive Director of the Coalition to Ban Handguns, jibed BeaftT, Michael that Aquilino’s statement about “criminals commit crimes, not handguns” is a catchy phrase for a sticker but bumper is not supported by facts. “Uniform crime reports make it clear that the presence of a handgun is the most contributing would audience knows very well,” she viable to Fatal flick An estimated 94 percent of all action in soap operas revolves around romantic relationships, according to Manuela Soares, author of The Soap Opera Bonk. illustrating just why by Ryan's Hope script writer Mary Munceri for the scarcity of controversial storylines. “Writing a soap script is unique in that you are dealing with characters the been Other taboo themes were identified as incest, racial tension, and homosexuality. the activist character she portrays Censored romance Strong identification with story roles was one. reason given have a that explore.” personally possess the qualities of vividly social situation DiVIncenzo ARE THEY FLAKEY? Actress Sarah Felder proved to be an articulate and dynamic individual speaking at last week's'Soap Opera Symposium here much like Shioban, the character she portrays on 'Ryan's Hope.' Felder declared that people get hooked on soaps because the situations help them assess their own values. Seated next to her is panel moderator Saul Elkin, chairman of the UB Theatre Department, who once did a soap opera stint himself. — explained. The decision to include' occurred a child abuse case, for example, rests mainly on the existence of a present character who is capable of doing such a thing. This dilemma can be resolved by the addition of new;' short term characters to do the deed, as last year on All My Children, currently number one by the Nielsens. Munceri also indicated that the controlling network and sponsors sometimes censor a storyline. She referred to a proposed R - jn ',i Hope plot in which a Jewish While admitting that because they are taken so seriously by devoted have -a soaps viewers, responsibility to present current said, she problems, social “Viewers watch soaps for the fantasy, they don’t want to deal with harsh, brutal facts on a day to day basis. Soares cited one recent soap opera scene that had homosexual connotations. “It was so unnatural for the characters. You could see that the actors were uncomfortable doing it.” she “When noting recounted, something controversial like that is shown, the mail (protest) is overwhelming.” Soap usually producers and writers, more often than prime-time show creators, heed the views of their audience and have been known to change lines to amend story dissatisfaction and avoid the fatal flick of the channel switch. Actress Felder elucidated her own theory on how viewers get hooked. “It’s like playing doll house,” she ..conveyed, “Soap operas allow us to project our own' feelings onto the characters. Through our feelings of affection or attack for them, we redefine our own life positions. We confirm our own existence in an, increasingly alienating society.” . gun for fun like to shoot but 1 know top that its there for tny protection if I ever need it,” he said. the story,” she said. “Yet it is prevalent —continued from page 1 . gun in my home, 1 feel it’s my prerogative to have it.

Soap opera talents are very carefully cast into their roles, only after long term searches, and many actors remain with the same show for years. Both audience and actots therefore come to identify actual individuals with the characters they portray, Sometimes confounding the two. Mart Hulswit, Actor of fourth-ranked soap Guiding Light, recalled that at one time when his had character, Bauer, Ed kidnapped his own son and beat his wife, a viewer who spied him in a supermarket parking lot attempted to ram her cart into his car. “You have to say something to jar them back to the real world," he noted, adding that once reality is established, the viewer often feels cheated because the character is merely a fantasy. “People are very disappointed to find that I don’t know them," concurred Felder, “because they feel they know me. It’s,partly the phenomenon of TV, bringing us into their homes day after day.” became intimately involved with an Irish Catholic. “The heavily ethnic overtones were frowned on by the network, so the relationship evolved into an entirely different vehicle for people to get angry, happy, emotional. This is the essence of a dramatic theatrical experience,” she said, “it excites.” The Juilliard-schooled actress was easily the most vocal and popular defender of the soaps at Friday’s session. She seemed to — woman orthodox acts as an anaesthetizer or passivity inducer, programming Editor factor to homicides and suicides, especially among juveniles. 1 mean, a youth isn’t going to hold up a 7-11 store with a baseball bat.” said Beard. Beard attributes much of the public’s lax attitude toward gun-control to the image of the handgun’s easy acceptance on TV. “A television study done during 73 hours of prime time shows monitored the appearance of weapons used with the hands, for examplg, guns clubs. The results showed that a weapon was brandished an average of nine times an hour and that handguns were seen in 80 percent of the confrontations. Deadly weapons Also cited by Beard was a conducted in Cleveland, Ohio which showed that for every study burglar stopped by a handgun kept in the home for “protective purposes”, six or .seven family members or acquaintances were killed or injured by that same gun. “The handgun issue is one last dinosaur of our society,” Beard claimed. “A man that keeps a handgun home for in his should protection also be considered ‘dangerousv ’. “The average private citizen shouldn’t have the right to pbssess deadly, concealed weapons. There are definitely safer ways of protecting oneself and one’s family,” he said. gun-control of Backers legislation point out that the traumatic assassinations of two major U.S. political figures were an indirect result of government failure to pass more potent - gun-control legislation. “Senator Robert Kennedy was gunned down on June 4, 1968 by a snub nosed .23 caliber Iver Johnson Cadet pistol, just two months earlier than the assassination of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.,” said Beard. He further explained that although a weak flawed gun-control bill the of cleared House and Representatives on the day Robert Kennedy died, and later became law,- Congress later rejected handgun registration, either in committee rooms or the chamber of one House or the other, no fewer than 16 times. “The_ only thing that may get us another gun-control law,” said a pro gun-control lobbyist in another despair, “is assassination.” —Smith ANTI-ANWAR ACTIVISM: Some 30 Arab students marched and chanted in the Squire Hall fountain area Friday afternoon in protest of last week's progress in the finalization of accords between Egypt and Isreal.

There was one abstention to the resolution Hunt. Although Hunt pointed to figures of 518,000 and Si,000 for ' — _ — replacement and air samplings respectively, one UUP member said that if lives were at stake, it is “petty” of the University to ignore the problem regardless of cost. In a March 5 interview with The Spectrum Music Department Chairman William Thompson indicated that his faculty members are concerned enough to take up a collection among themselves for an air sampling. “According to the resolution,” Franki argues, “any fibers in the air are cause for removal. We contend that fiber presence is ' — obvious. It University administrators adhere to the resolution’s contention that ‘any’ amount is hazardous, a test is a waste of $1000.” NYPIRG is now planning to focus its attention on “upper administration” here “to help alleviate the difficulties (funding) Hunt is encountering in his efforts to correct the situaTion.” The group will additionally seek a meeting with the Director to for the discuss his plans “immediate removal” of the ceilings. �•v ‘National security’ * Computer warfare technology a future reality —not fantasy note: This is the fifth of a six part series dealing with the age Editor's of the computer.

Indeed, the foot soldier of the not-so-distant future will march into battle carrying, as his main weapon, a computer on his knapsack. With it he will be able to direct a pencil-thin beam across the horizon which will “see” incoming enemy projectiles, instantly backtrack tjre trajectory of the projectile to locate the mortar or rocket launcher, and then send a digital signal to a friendly firing station several miles away, which will launch “smart” weapons, guided by laser, infrared or optical sensing devices, with deadly accuracy.

Tiny electronic sensors, first used during the Vietnam war, have become so “smart” thanks to the microprocessor that they will be able to identify virtually every trying. Already movement, smell, noise or temperature change over hundreds of miles, alerting a command computer to enemy movements, troop size and type of armament. Western Europe, for instance, could be “electrified” by a vast of such sensors, each sending information back to what one expert has termed “a huge network electro-optical-infrared eyeball.” Such a system would also have an ominous potential for keeping track of any internal dissident groups, be anti-nuclear protestors or political terrorists. The command computers,such as the Army’s Remotely Monitored Battlefield information with Sensor System, now undergoing testing respond be able to will automatically to the sensor’s a variety of "smart” weapons, such as laser or radar guided munitions.

Bethlehem management officials, on the other hand, maintain that the company has made a concerted effort at emissions abatement and has $35 million in captial expenditures on pollution control equipment to prove it. A Bethlehem engineer contended that the steel corporation possesses some of the most innovative emissions control technology in the industry. The company representative ran a slide presentation to illustrate the kinds of technology they’re employing at the Lackawanna plant. Mugdan however, charged that the company is not doing enough. He countered the company’s contention that the technology is just not up to meeting the tough EPA standards by citing examples of other steel mills across the country that currently comply with IP A regulations. One steel plant in Kentucky meets the EPA regulations with pollution abatement equipment discarded not long ago by the Lackawanna plant. Based on this evidence, “there’s no reason why Bethlehem cannot comply with Federal- standards,” Mugdan concluded. The Huflalo Evening Slews reported on Saturday that the EPA is on the verge of concluding a comprehensive anti-pollution agreement with Bethlehem. The plan, the News reported, includes tradeoffs tor emission standards at some plants, where meeting the guidelines is more difficult, with standards at others. ‘Grandpa’ ■continued from page 5 . . additional courses added to their major requirements. For students with 56 or more credits, the grandfather clause will set a limit of two additional courses on major requirements. Check first Jiusto doesn’t think major additions due to accreditation standards will be very common. Management and Engineering are two departments in which that may occur, however, and students in those areas should check with their departments. Finally, the grandfather clause specifies that it will cover students only as long as they maintain continuous enrollment here. An allowance for exceptions among Millard Fillmore College students is also made The clause approved by Ketter permits departments to add up to two courses to the requirements of sophomores who have been accepted into a major. Jiusto said he was upset at the change which will primarily affect Health Sciences students. “1 don’t think it’s right morally or ethically to change the rules'after someone has been accepted into a major,” he remarked. What the grandfather clause does not address is whether the University will change the graduation requirement for entering freshman from 128 to 120. Dean of Undergraduate Education John Peradotto has asked a Faculty Senate Committee confront that question, according to Jiusto. Incompletes will retain their four credit value, Jiusto said, because in such cases, it is assumed that the student has done most of the work required. Road changes... Another DOT project will he the widening of said that work is expected to begin May 1 and should be cofnplcted by the end of October.

The Pentagon is scrambling to react to this sudden new reality. Last November it announced a $150 million program to fund private research on Very Large Integrated Circuitry. The aim of the research is to produce a ten-fold reduction in size, weight, replacing people with digital monitors,” concluded a recent scientific report from Johns Hopkins Applied Physics for year. all the talks.

The association .believes that between now ahd 1988, the U.S. military electronics market will grow to a whopping in constant 1979 dollars. While precise figures are not available, it is believed the Pentagon now spends $4 to S5 billion a year on r electronic warfare.

Reiss A local judge Wednesday issued a temporary restraining order grinding to a halt the completion of the controversy-racked referendum calling for the restructuring of the Student Association (SA) Senate. According to SA Executive Vice President Joel Mayersohn, the restraining order was granted to Michael Levinson by Special Terms Supreme Court Judge John C. Boughton, on the grounds that the current referendum may adversely affect the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness of undergraduate students here. The restraining order forbids SA President Karl Schwartz and the SA Elections and Credentials (EAC) Committee from opening ballot boxes, counting ballots, validating signatures on the petitions or “any other act connected with the execution of this referendum until such time that the issues may be heard under due process and Consitutional procedures.” EAC impounded the ballot boxes Wednesday night. Voting was to be completed by Wednesday at 8 p.m. and the ballots supposedly counted by EAC by around 10 p.m. Had the referendum passed, a new Senate would have been formed last night in the Senate chamber in Talbert Hall. The restraining order demands that the respondent (Schwartz and Affirmative SUNY at Buffalo / / completing the election process. Both the respondent and the plaintiff (Levinson) must appear in City Court at Erie County Hall downtown today at 1:45. The hearing will determine whether the restraining order will be lifted and the voting process be allowed to continue, or whether the injunction will be made permanent. Infringements and violations The petitiqp, filed by Levinson on Wednesday, charges the referendum with a number of infringements of students’ rights and violations of the SA Constitution and the Book of Rules. It claims that if the referendum passes, “Students of the SA Senate will be injured and permanently deprived of their lawfully obtained status.” The Constitutional amendment calls for the dissolution and restructuring of the SA Senate. Most Senators would lose their posts and be replaced by members of SA clubs and organizations. The petition holds that the referendum “if it should pass will take effect immediately, thus disenfranchising the Senate from conducting its business and further depriving the student body at large of its legislation.” Passage of the amendment would have meant the —continued on page 2— The S[p> friday Vol. 29, No. 71 E&C) “shall show cause why a permanent injunction should not be issued by the Court, permanently enjoining the respondent” from Special to Ike Spectrum 16 March 1979 'vSK Action, The Colleges are topics Faculty Senate calmly opens General Education debate by Jay Rosen Editor-In-Chief The Faculty Senate carefully dug its hands into the General Education program Tuesday, reshaping the plan to include Colleges courses and an Affirmative Action component while resisting two attempts to carve away the foreign language requirement.

Among the effects of Rising’s amendment retain Peradotto’s fears unmet would have been to allow students to elude the two-course language requirement. But Rising’* proposal was soon obscured by an amendment tacked on to his amendment. The second amendment would also have allowed students the chance to exclude one of the knowledge areas while adding a seventh knowledge area mathematics. But that idea came under attack from Senators who noted that another portion of the General Education Committee report, the basic skills component, is slated to include basic mathematics as a requirement. After the amendment to Rising’s amendment was defeated, Rising’s original idea'came to a vote almost an hour after its sponsor had left the chamber. Several Senators noted that Rising’s amendment, by giving students the choice to exclude a knowledge area would exacerbate a familiar problem students who avoid difficult courses. - Dean of Undergraduate Education John Peradotto said Wednesday that his worst fears had evaporated and that he was “guardedly elated” over the Faculty Senate’s first discussion of the General Education program. Peradotto, a strong proponent of General Education as Dean and member of the Gen Ed Committee, told The Spectrum that he went into the meeting fearing that factionalism and bitter disagreements might explode the Committee’s work and leave the University with a meager Gen Ed program. “But,” he said, “if the rest of the discussion is carried on with such a high level of rationality and attention to education principles, 111 be — really pleased.” traced Peradotto the smoothness of Tuesday’s Senate debate to Chairman Newton Carver’s “brilliance as a parliamentarian” and to the Senate’s willingness to leave political battles over FTE’s - Killer argument Rising’s amendment failed.

A discussion of the details of the report was necessary, said Garver. Good points were raised at the well attended meeting he said, but more must be disciissed. “We should test controversial areas and discuss them,” Garver said. Those controversial areas include an Affirmative Action , proposal, the proposed an examination of the proposal requiring three courses "in Literature and the Arts, rather than two as in most other knowledge Faculty areas. sentiment, he said, seems to be language against the language requirement, and requirement Garver was particularly pleased with the Senate’s willingness to debate possible amendments and then come to a vote without unnecessary delay.

Peradotto stressed that a detailed list of accreditation constraints would be necessary before the Senate can make a responsible decision on exceptions for programs like Engineering. On the Affirmative Action component added to the report Tuesday, the Dean felt that many of the theoretical goals of the component’s sponsors are already encompassed by- existing courses that are not necessarily thought of as “Affirmative Action” courses. Why did such a significant change pass the Senate with little or no opposition? “Well,” Peradotto said, ‘‘the real concrete requirements in Affirmative Action have yet to be discussed. I think some of the arguments against it will come out then.” The Dean had no guesses on what might be the major issues at next Tuesday’s meeting, but said; “I just hope it stays at the same level.” — — — — — Referendum... —continued from page 1— SOFT, • immediate dissolution of the Senate as presently constituted.

The petition charges that the referendum violates two articles of the SA Constitution. One article cited provides that amendments shall be forwarded by 10 percent of the daytime student body and that is shall be forwarded to EAC. The other article nientioned states that the student Senate shall have authority to amend the Constitution and me Book of Rules.” Presumably, Levinson is contending that the Senate already has the “sole” authority it is seeking. At its last meeting, the Senate passed a Constitutional amendment overruling Senate Chairman Don Berry who ruled that such a measure must go to the Student Wide Judiciary supposedly giving it that “sole” — authority. The peititon also holds that the referendum violates an article in the Book of Rules mandating that petitions must be completed with the proper number of validated signatures. According to SA Treasurer Jim Killegrew, no such article exists. 16 tem Porar y restraining order provided yet another stumbling block in the short but tumultuous history of the teferendum. An angered Schwartz said Wednesday night that “the whole thing is silly. It s a legitimate referendum.

According to documents handled by Levinson and Senator Bob Smkewicz, the restraining otder holds only until the 14th-day of March, or two days ago. iJ* In addition, the Constitutional amendment calls for the new Senate to be formed no later than March IS. • �?

The word quite literally expresses the sentiments of any unsuspecting victims of this annoyance walking alone at night on the Amherst Campus rats are indeed the very cause of the problem. It seems that often the poor little vermin, field mice to be precise, seek shelter from the winter cold by going underground into the streetlight bases. Sneaking into the fixtures through small holes in the bases, they gnaw on wires and insulation, causing the lights to blow out.

"The streetlights were designed in the sixties when light maximization was paramount and energy conservation secondary, noted Neal. “Today, as a conservatory measure, only every other light is used.” So when a mouse gets cold and hungry, a farger stretch of the campus is plunged into darkness. The problem, said McConnell, is diminishing and with the coming of spring and warmer weather, will hopefully disappear.

Voldemar Innus has recently been appointed Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs, the position perhaps most tightly tangled in - financial strings. . His responsibilities include preparing budget requests to Albany, examining expenditures, and dividing funds among academic units. Innus, settling into his fourth week in his new Capen Hall office, stressed that he is not a one man show. All financial considerations must be meshed academic goals, he said, golas ultimately determined by. Vice" President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn after consulting with department chairmen. faculty deans and concerned administrators. Most decisions from Bunn’s office arise from its members as a whole, he said, more than from any one individual. ' Professors and department heads, of course, are most interested in /how much money their department will receive each year, money to pay salaries as well as provide equipment and pay phone bills. Dividing the spoils is actually not as difficult as it may appear, said Innus. Each unit within the “core campus” (the other units, such as Physical Therapy, fall under the domain of the Vice President for Health Sciences) has a financial “base” or guaranteed budget, Innus explained. Only the changes from year to yearihust be distributed, he said, either in the form of surplus with or cuts. • ....... 24 and 12 TnpUs said ibis year there.was .a slight increase in the equipment and services budget. But, he noted, 24 faculty : positions and 12 staff positions were slated to be cut in Governor Carey’s budget. The ' cuts, which sliced those positions currently unoccupied, are fairly evenly spread throughout the departments, according to Innus. “It’s the same everywhere,” said Innus, “anyone who takes cuts will say it’s too much, and those with increases will say they need moThe funds, he said, are assigned to each unit, but each retains authority over how they use their piece. Of course, wealth of the University is primarily dependent on Albany, particularly Qrithe infamous Division of Budget, which releases the money either in spurts or, apportioned by the legislature frequently, in drops. “If a unit comes in with a legitimate request and we don’t have the funds,” - Innus said, “it’s frustrating.” The former holder of Innus’ post, Robert Wagner, now Assistant Executive Vice President, shared Innus’ views. Wagner said the position can indeed 'bfc frustrating when money is scarce; particularly when it is needed by many for valid ‘ reasons, “It’s hard to translate overall constraints down to individual departments and deans,” Wagner reflected. Each individual understandably considers, his department’s needs most pressing, he said, and justifiably pushes for more money. But DOB is not the villian it is Often portrayed to be, said Wagner, noting that it too has constraints and is generally fair. y % Innus said that even now Academic Affairs is preparing next year’s budget request. This task is more difficult than distributing money within the University, necessitating the preparation of complex data and the assessment of future needs, Innus explained. ' Despite ' • ' , t" the occasional frustration, former Assistant Dean of the School of Management Innus seems pleased with his new post. “It’s challenging because,. despite the things people say qbout. the economic changes, the, base is still strong.” That base, said Innus, ’is UB’s excellent teachers, administrators and research, all of which make this University the leading school in the SUNY system.

You don’t take a button off lor a ‘'boss” if you're committed to “the one best method (bf Social transformation) most lik'ely to succeed” The International Workers of The World (IWW). The IWW, or “the Wobblies” as they are often called, is a revolutionary - union of all workers committed to the transformation of capitalist into' a “co-operative commonwealth.” But it has been a long time since the IWW was an important political force; today there are at most 3,000 members around the globe. One of them is Henry J. Pfaff, the 82-year-old IWW delegate from Buffalo. He was the man with the button. Pfaff (pronounced “faf”) came society to the United States in 19,11 from Hungary at the age of 15. From Ellis' Island he went .straight to Akron, Ohio, to live withrelatives.

Although Tuesday's Faculty Senate debate on General Education happily avoided the academic feudalism many feared, it left several important concerns untouched some of which may not be addressed in coming meetings, others which doubtlessly will. — The Senate must eventually come to grips with units such as Engineering and Health Sciences that operate under strict accreditation constraints. Those constraints will have to be clearly spelled out and separated from the requirements individual departments tack on as technical training. Perhaps those additional requirements truly cannot be sacrificed, in which case the Senate will be faced with a choice: water down General Education significantly for students in technically-oriented majors, or expand degree programs in those areas to four and a half or five years so that both Gen Ed and professional training are included. We favor the second course because we favor General Education for students; all but we recognize that Engineering and Health Sciences are not the only programs with heavy major requirements. The Senate should address the problem of forced specialization by departments that have neither the accreditation pressure not the academic justification to strictly define their students' schedules. It is likely that General Education it going to require many departments to cut back on their major requirements. How much and under what criteria is an issue the Senate must face. If this University is serious about General Education, then it ought to think seriously about its total curriculum, in and out of the major. To expect such a significant shift in emphasis to be accomplished without concomitant changes in existing curricula is not only unreasonable; but is dangerously unmindful of the foundation of General Education. When the Faculty Senate Executive Committee wisely pushed back 1979 to 1980, it did so assuming that the ’full Senate would then begin to incorporate some of the original Phase II into the new Phase I. Thij is a crucial step for the Senate to take, if we are to avoid Implementing a Phase I that merely expands distribution requirements. The extra year of planning must enable the committee toenrichahe Gen Ed program so that it reflects more of General Education's guiding principles than simply breadth of the implementation of General Education from study* ■> Which of those principles can and should be emphasized in the first phase is another task the Senate must assume this month, unless it is prepared to place total confidence Committee's judgement. ' ■ now end later - " in the Gen Ed - Finally, we sincerely hope the Sehate will recognize that, without a re-emphasis on the art of teaching. General Education will surely fail in the classroom. It is more than appropriate for the Senate to urge the University to take a hard look at its tenure and promotion system so that dedicated teachers are not penalized for their efforts to make General Education work. The Senate, if it cared to, could even look at itself and ask how much it is doing to promote teaching effectiveness. When these questions are asked, and answered sincerely, then the faculty's true commitment to General Education will come clearly into view.

Arnold Sedlak Kent Lenske Kenneth Dole The gay minority To the Editor: scissors.) ' - Open it upl — Editor-in-Chief Jay Rosen Business Manager Bill Finkelstein — — This letter is directed to Marcell McVorran, and in response to her letter published in The Spectrum on Monday, 12 March, 1979. First of all let me state the definition of minority according to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary. It is clear that gays fit into every part of this definition. Minority 1. a group having less than the number of votes necessary for control, 2. the smaller in number of two groups constituting a whole, 3. a part of a population differing from others in some characteristics and often subjected to differential treatment. It seems to me that Marcelle’s concern is not the 1 idea of what a minority is or who they are but her own selfishness of being gyped out of something or even her own prejudices against gays. I think it is the third part of the Webster definition that we are concerned with here. I am also concerned with her insinuation that gays stay in the closet. Gays have often been subjected to differential treatment and they do differfrom the majority of the population. 1 can see your point of also being a minority because the majority of people in your building are Over thirty. I am sure you are not subjected to hostile treatment because of that. I too, am a minority by being left handed but that hasn’t madS my life difficult. (In fact, society has at times made life easier for me. I even have my own pair of lefty The Spectrum Vol. 29, No. 71 Dean Irving Spitzbefg’s criticism of President Robert Ketter is not only timely, but highly significant. According to Dean Spitzberg, an authority on higher education. President Ketter’s stewardship has been basically ncgativistic, and therefore, thoroughly nettlesome. As Dean Spitzberg put it. President Ketter’s commitment to the status quo in general and conservative traditionalism in particular has subjected the entire university community to visionless leadership. True, President Ketter assumed the helm at a particularly turbulent period in the history of American higher education. In the wake of the stormy days of student demonstrations and confrontationism, many desired a respite, a “return to normalcy” after the excesses allegedly perpetrated by “tender-minded” liberals. Therefore, Mr. Meyerson adroitly resigned, and in his place there emerged Dr. Ketter, a conservative In matters both educational and political. True, Dr. Ketter’s conservatism was highly appealing both to the UB Council as well as to many sectors of the business community. His civil engineering ability and it was thought financial acumen would surely facilitate the construction of the new Amherst campus, as well as the emergence of UB as a somewhat sobered “Berkeley of the East.” This, of course, is hardly what ultimately happened. Despite his administration’s high hopes, President Ketter always managed to frustrate the progressive sentiments harbored by large segments of the educational and peripheral communities. When forthright action was needed, his administration suddenly became dilatory. When outspoken eloquence was imperative, all that emanated from Hayes Hall was a deadening reticence. When faculty morale began to waver, all that could be heard from the administration was rhetoric extolling the virtues of retrenchment and lowered expectations. Dr. Ketter, a man with a mathematical bent, seems to always reduce complex issues to neat mathematical assumptions. In the spirit of Mr. Frederick Taylor’s version of scientific management, every facet of UB’s existence was suddenly judged in terms of academic efficiency, productivity and cost-effectiveness. Such assumptions are, of course, the watchwords of the business establishment, an agglomeration of individuals seeking the highest return at the lowest To the Editor. ’ , mathematical sophistry has a long intellectual history, dating back to Parmenides and Zeno. Try as they may, however, their arguments never succeeded in eliminating the reality of objective time and motion. In a similar manner, three credits equals one President Ketter’s maxim course, one hundred and twenty credits equals one did noting to dispel the revulsion baccalaureate which such mechanistic authoritarianism invariably provoked. This, to use Leibniz’s phrase, was not the best of all possible worlds; nor would the late Chancellor Capen have wanted to enter it. For years, however, most students and faculty remained passive. Faculty shook their heads or departed; administrators cringed or resigned; and students, depending on their mettle, either cursed or wept. President Ketter’s adversaries did, at times, achieve partial victories; however, most despaired, at least until quite 'recently, of replacing such ineptitude with a more progressive and competent force. Therfore, Dean Spitzberg’s boldness is to be highly commended. As a result of his tenure at the helm of the Colleges, he has attained first-hand knowledge of the insensitivity and rigidity which the Ketter administration has historically displayed. This, notwithstanding the contentions of his supporters to the contrary,-is a criticism of President Ketter’s incompetent, authoritarian substance, and not merely a thrust directed against his conservative style. After all, Mr. Ketter's mathematical training by right only qualifies him to be, at most, an administrative aide to a real educator. On the other hand, if anything positive is to materialize from Dean Spitzberg’s boldness, other campus and community leaders must begin to speak out. For too long fear, whether real or imagined, has convertedthis campus into a prison-house of sullen discontent. At present, we need to overcome years of stagnation and misleadership. As Morris R. Cohen once said of C.C.N.Y.’s late President Robinson, his military spirit managed to alienate generations of city college students, each wave of which possessed even less respect for their institution’s president. Therefore, until this situation is remedied, we cannot even cost. Such To the Editor ’ Gays have always been a minority and now should reap some benefits for their suffering. 'They have consistently been victims of the American system and that of the world for thousands of years. Straight societies have come to dominate the world and the reactions of these societies has been to purge gay people. Examples of this date back to Medieval times when there was a practice of burning witches and faggots; and placing them in monasteries, concentration camps or prisons: Despite this oppression, gays have continued to discover Themselves, their strength as’a group and have begun to fight back. Today conditions have changed and the isolation is breaking down. Gays can now come out of the closet but the discrimination is. still there. They are discriminated in housing, income, hiring, and in some cases even in education. I agree with Marcelle that there are no closets for blacks, womenTlndians or Hispanics but isn’t it about time that gays could bet out of the closet? The oppression of the gay community is a class struggle and the oppressor is the white, middle class,'--t male dominated heterosexual society. They have long been the controlling factor since they have had the power. Anti-homosexual feelings run high in America. Gays struggle for dignity and respect. Their’s is a struggle for civil rights, like that of the blacks, native Americans and women. Most gays hide their homosexuality just to be able to survive in a hostile environment. They all struggle in different ways and fight the oppression that hits flic hardest. The black gay woman is a good example of struggle. She has long been struggling for rights as a black, most recently as a black woman and now as a gay black woman. When will all this discrimination stop? Gays have paid a bitter price for being homosexual and; now they state their case for equal treatment in the eyes of the law and in society. They are the opposite of heterosexuality and the nuclear family, and they as a group and individually have been driven from jobs, families, education and sometimes from life itself. Gays as their other oppressed brothers and sisters, (blacks, women, native Americans and Hispanics), are a minority. They fit the definition given them by the controlling power, the white, male dominated,'heterosexual, middle class society. Marcelle, if you still want your check, just step into any Of the minority groups shoes. The road is long and it’s not easy. AS for Gays, they are coming out of the closet and are everywhere.

When I reached my car I found that the “flyers” were really ten dollar tickets for “parking outside the double yellow lines.” OK. Fine. I admit it, 1 was wrong. Even though I had circled the lot for ten minutes behind a train of cars, searching in desperation to find a space in time to make it to class. Even though the next lot was approximately half a mile away and I would be very late for class if I parked there, I was “wrong” to park there. So, the fact that I received a ticket didn’t bother me. What made me angry was that 1 drove to the address shown on the ticket to pay the fine, it turned out to be the Amherst Police Station. I’m not going to argue about the fact that the police have a poor priority system in that they prefer to spend their time persecuting the poor university student with numerous parking tickets over their no duty of preventing the true “crimes” within their district. This is not my point My point is: If we students are to pay exorbitant parking fines for on campus violations the revenue created should be used for on-campus improvement (possibly the increase of parking spaca) not to purchase police cars for the Amherst cops. CARASA doesn't speak for all women To the Editor. I am a Fourth Year medical student at U.B. On March 8th, 1979 I was present at the Sub-board I meeting where the issue of obligatory inclusion of abortion coverage by the Student Health Insurance Policy was debated. It was stated by CARASA representatives that there was not even a possibility that this be an area of optional coverage. It is significant that as a third year medical student I was given the CHOICE of the extent to which I wished to participate in the learning experience involving abortion, a CHOICE which is now being denied to me- if I wish to participate in the Student Health Insurance Program. I object to those statements made, at the meeting in which it was stated or implied that the representatives of CARASA were speaking for all wonten. They were not speaking for me! The statement made that “the ‘Right to Conscience’ is a new term for ‘male privilege’ indicates an attempt to blur the issue involved and implies a disregard for this right. In regard to woman’s rights no mention was made of the right of unborn generations of women to LIFE, yet womens’ rights appeared to be the core Significance of the CARASA argument. What about the issue of abortion in those cases in which the sex of the child has been determined and the decision to abort made on the basis of the female sex *of the child? This is a woman’s right to life? Yet this issue is distinct however from that which I see in the case at hand. As regards the insurance policy and women from both a persona) and professional and personal point of view I find it interesting that the policy as it now stands covers the costs of abortion and not those of a routine cyVological study to screen for cervical cancer. The fact that the only request of those favoring freedom of conscience in regards to the inclusion of abortion in the policy, is the option of CHOOSING or REFUSING to have abortion ..includf 4ip their coverage and the fact that CARASA has refused to consider such a proposal indicates an attempt to distort the fact that the issue involved in this case is whether or not, in this university, there will exist an atmosphere conducive to freedom of conscience without deprivation of rights. I am personally opposed to the obligatory inclusion of abortion coverage in the Student Health Insurance. George N. Konst Stop delaying Senate To the Editor: It has come to the attention of many students at this University that the ongoing dispute between the SA Senate and the SA Executive Committee has increased to maximal proportions. Although this heated controversy is not a rarity amorl(j universities across the it nonetheless remains fixated within the two opposing factions. The Political Science Club fPSC) brought this dispute up at its last meeting and although its members were reluctanMo place any blame on either side, it came to the conclusion that the referendum calling for the dissolvement and restructuring of the SA Senate is far from a viable solution to the dilemma. If the SA has the ability to dissolve and restructure the SA Senate, whenever it disagrees with Senate, then where is the that particular constitutional right of those members to voice their concern on student affairs? The Senate is supposedly the legislative check on the Executive members of the SA. If the Executive Committee has the power to abolish that check then where is the principle of federalism that this country was founded on? If the SA Executive Committee firmly believes that these members of the Senate are not representative of their individual constituencies, then they should take appropriate steps to assure that they have a representative elected to the Senate through legitimate methods, (i.e. beat out the incumbent representative at the next annual election) The current Senators have a right to the position they hold in the student government and any ability by the SA to relinquish that right is a direct violation of that body’s duty to express it’s concern for the welfare of the student body at this . Nancy G. Dvorak of abortion To the Editor: - » The editorial of Monday, March 12, served to point out the insensitivity of the editorial baord to issues which are of grave concern to women on this campus. Since when is abortion an “issue of such narrow significance”? While General Education, the “University experience” has been altered by an unplanned pregnancy. The pros and cons of the abortion question are many, but to downplay the signficance of the issue is a disservice to the University community and an affront to, women whose lives are very much effected by such questions. Academic Plan, Affirmative Action and other issues are important “to a student’s Oniveristy experience” those issues will mean little to a woman whose •V'JbHi'i_-.•£ ifo y y-i Susan Lyons campus. Patience Dowd •- Grow insensitivity To the Editor Although I share your despair at the lack of general involvement in matters of educational policy here at UB, 1 must object to your belittlement, in the 12, on editorial of March abortion-conscience controversy. The right of a woman to exercise control over her life is not “an issue of such narrow significance.’’ And, although you ipay accurately perceive the origins of the conflict in the activities of “a well-organized, vocal minority,” T.think you err in denying the fervor of the hard-won rights for that attack on abortion-funding; indeed, the response of the UB x your ■f -. ; ' Rights of Conscience Group may more accurately be identified as just one facet of the swelling conservative attack on the progressive, social benefits fought for and won only after long, bitter debate , and struggle in this country. Again, you are right, I think, in urging a greater participation in the affairs of their University on the parts of students here; however, your diminution of the abortion-rights issue appears as a gross insensitivity to the problems and concerns of ,, women’s liberation and health-care in this country. Lester Roy Zipris TA, Dept, • < � a# of English "• , ' The SA Senate should not view this stance by the PSC as diiectly parallel with their policy concerning The Spectrum. The PSC wouldrather see the SA Senate re-evaluate their objectives with regard to The Spectrum. It has become quite clear that too much time and effort is being placed on the disbanding of The Spectrum by the Senate members. The majority of the Senators should recognize that what they are asking is beyond their jurisdiction. The controversy is developing into a' personal vendetta between 1 few vehemently opposed people from both factions and this is not healthy for, and in the best interests of, the student body, as a whole. Stop allowing your emotions to rule your intellectual capacity to serve your fellow students. There are a lot more important issues to be dealt with in the Seriate chambers. It is for these reasons that the PSC advocates the establishing of an ad-hoc committee to attempt a reconciliation of this problem and allow the business of the Senate to flow normally without further delay. •- Joseph Fisher President of Political Science Club iMill v » a-v* * *•*» U �m feedback i a.

Opponents of the plan are fond of innocently cabinet level department for claimin( that education will not improve education. Sure, not directly. That's as it should be since education is really the responsibility of those not in federal government. But if the Department of Education can correct duplication, wasteful rules and regulations, costly fragmented and scattered programs, paperwork and confusing leadership in the federal government, then it will greatly help educators and parents in the drive for 1 educational improvement. » the 96th Congress it considering legislation to establish a separate, cabinet-level £ Department of Education, opponents'of the plan are c stepping up fallacious arguments against it in a last ditch effort to confuse the issues and the public. Those opponents of the plan which has the strong backing of most of die education.community, the President of the United States and the leadership ■ of Congress include those who want to preserve the current HEW bureaucracy, insecure organizations who fear they don’t" carry enough clout in the education areola and must attain a voice in HEW from more powerful allies and those who simply fear change of any kind. While the facts put the arguments to rest, they do not necessarily silence those who espouse them. That’s why it is so important to emphasize hoW the public and education would be served by taking the “E” out of HEW and giving education the priority placing it deserves. Correcting wrong impressions frrom faulty arguments is in everyone’s best interest. First and simply put, the establishment of a Department of Education makes sense. A separate department would give direction and coordination to the widely scattered education programs of the federal government and this would translate to better administration, less duplication and a far more systematic attack on education’s problems. Second, unifying the responsibility for education would cut down tremendously on money While ~ - —. wasted or thrown away on programs that don’t to actual classroom situations In these difficult fiscal times, this is most compelling reason for support of a separate department for those who feel budget tightening is a priority. apart from Third, a Secretary of Education the existing HEW bureaucratic sprawl would answer Congress’ questions on authorizing education appropriations The -fact is that the problems of education are great enough to demand a full-time advocate at the federal level. Education needs its own person with the ear of the President and respect of Congress apply - — f, The naysayers warn of a more costly bureaucracy. Nonsense! To the contrary, one of the major reasons for the new department is toreduce administrative costs and waste by consolidating scattered program and streamlining the bureaucracy (there are some 22 principal officers and offices in HEWs education department alone and 170 scattered federal education programs). Annual waste in HEW by its own admission, exceeds S7 billion. The S14 billion cost would not be a new cost, as some critics of the plan have tried to imply. Costs for the separate department would be substracted from HEW’s current budget. There are several other arguments for which there is no basis or which defy logic. For example, opponents are claiming too much effort is being spent on the department and not enough on perfecting programs. But it is obvious that programs can not be perfected if the federal structure is a mess. A Department of Education is the organizational base we need if education programs are to be perfected. The New York Educators Association and its parent union, the National Education Association, and more than 100 other national organizations as well as hundreds of state-wide groups are convinced a separate department of education would not only give symbolic weight to the nation’s concern for an area in need of great improvement, but the kind of attention and clout that educational issues deserve.

As any great guitarist, Knopfler is far more powerful in concert than on the album. by Andrew Ross Dire Straits is a brand new British band which has lately been commanding a lot of attention. On the strength of the infectious hit single “Sultans of Swing,” their first album has ascended to the number four spot nationally. Booked at the After Dapk well before their successive catapult ion into stardom, Dire Straits was presented in somewhat intimate (albeit helplessly over-crowded) . Dark and vague In concert, the fit between Knopfler’s voice and the band's music is dramatized. ,Thc songs span a wide range of moods, and Knopfier is adept at meeting these changes. Songs such as "Sultans of Swing" connote a feeling of belligerence while "Wild West End" and "Water'Of Love" are gentler and more contemplative. A large portion of the remainder of the album is filled with songs which on first listening seem repetitious, but once accessed, prove to be the album’s most interesting. In general, they are characterized by steady, unrelenting rhythms. The mood of the music, as well as the lyrics, is dark and vague. They are delivered in a cadence which can best be compared with Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music or David Byrne of Talking Heads. Some patience is needed before this album can be fully enjoyed. Dire Strait's music has a sort of double edged appeal that will help as well as hinder them. Some of their material has the potential of appealing to a very wide audience while the bulk of it. is more demanding. What this split may very well do is lure a large audience to the group only to disappoint the vast majority. The mixed reviews that they have been receiving (both formally and informally) is an indication of this. surroundings.

Richard Pryor is his utterance to vapidity. But I use it nonetheless cbmedy. This .is why I cad him a genius. How else could we because Pryor gives the word life. Webster’s New International appreciate a man who shoots the Dictionary lists as a definition, “a car his wife threatened to leave personification Or embodiment him in? In his genius, Pryor is almost esp. of a quality or condition.” This is an excellent description of alone among comic superstars. Pryor. His thin, mocha brown Steve Martin is a falling star, never body with its rubbery face is the that brilliant to begin with. near-literal embodiment of George Carlin and David Brenner comedy. Though one might try, have been completely VegasizedPryor’s ability to send any Saturday Night Live lives on in audience into convulsions of name only. But Pryor is still fresh, > of elements that work impervious to lazy reliances on old material and to super stardom’s and glitter polyester. Each time we greet him, we connect with a living something that has grown and gone forward since the last time. Listening to Steve Martin or The Not Ready for Prime Time Players these days is like listening to your old comedy albums. We get the impression that now that they’ve made it, they feel they can rest on {heir laurels. For them, comedy’s become a lucrative job'. With Pryor, there is an overwhelming sensation of urgency: he needs to do comedy. He is trying desperately (but joyously) to get something out. Richard Pryor attempts to turn his ego inside out the humor is in our glimpses of his comic soul. He does more than entertain us; he is doing something for himself. Thus, there is in his comedy an exhilirating sense of private sharing with a private man. Layering of elements Pryor is not a comedian spitting jokes at us rapid fire. He rarely stands still at all. He frantically paces the stage, falls down and wriggles on the floor, shakes his arms, and swivels his hips. He is a comic actor who uses his body 'to more fully express his inner urgency. But his bodily activity cannot match the animation of his face and voice. The expressiveness is nothing short of amazing. His features seem plastic, grins shrinking into eyebrows pouts, elevated descending into a cartoon character’s scowl, nose crinkling in disgust. His voice is equally fluid, streaking from growls to shrieks and whines. Pryor likes to play with his microphone in a way reminiscent of Bill Cosby, pushing it against his lips, trying to swallow it, banging it against his forehead. Body, voice, face and give microphone poetic a verticality to his content Each joke, aside from its punchline or turn of phrase or absurdity, is given harmony by this layering of elements. Often times, just as in true art, his form is his content. Pryor’s material is virtually unbounded and therefore difficult to characterize'. In his film Richard Pryor Live in Concert, his comic musings run the gamut from pets to funerals to walking in the woods to “fucking women.” Nothing seems to be outside his range and we deduce what we felt all along: Pryor’s comedy is in his basic approach to the world. In the film’s beginning, he takes on an unfortunate Don Rickiish air, razzing the white members of the audience, coming uncomfortably close to racism at times. We wonder if a white comic said comparable things about blacks, would he get away with it? But the fact is, Pryor never does cross the line into reprehensible racism. He pokes almost as much fun at "niggers” as he does “whities.” This is the stance of a humorist, not a racist. A humorist will say anything so long as it’s funny. This most definitely describes Richard Pryor. The comedy concert is a good idea- and one wonders why nobody ever thought of it before Rock concerts have been around for almost a decade and have been quite successful. As rock stars became as big as movie stars, they got their own movies. It’s only right that as comedy stars became as big as rock stars, they too should get their own movies. Early rock films tried to make rock stars actors. The Beatles film* A Hard Day’s Night and Help!, directed by Richard Lester were fitted into the narrative tradition. Eventually, rock films took to reproducing the concert experience, concentrating on the music rather than the stardom of the musicians. Comedy stars have long been movie stars ever since the silent days of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, continuing with Laurel and Hardy, W.C. Fields, and Mae West. But all starred in narrative films. The stand-up comedian found themselves forced into this mold. The concert experience went unnoted except for brief, highly expurgated versions on TV Richard Pryor was a success on the nightclub circuit and had made a number of acclaimed albums before entering film. But he entered as an actor in such films as Silver Streak, •Which Way Is Up? and Blue Collar, acting ‘other people’s scripts under other people’s direction. Even his short-lived but excellent TV show failed to give full leeway to his peculiar talents and his corttedy albums, though also excellent, lacked his humor’s all-important . visual aspect. But in Richard Pryor Live in Concert, the man, known only to those fortunate enough to catch his stage show, gets full exposure. On the bare stage, Pryor is in full control and thus realizes himself completely. Uncensored with unobtrusive direction by Jeff Margolis, the film is quintessential Pryor. It is well received: not only because it evoked the loudest, most continual I’ve heard since Monty Python’s And Now For Something Completely Different, but because it is also an auspicious beginning for a possible new film form. �f m* w ■/Upoies Agatha' is puzzling It ? s1 f Wonder why it's here by Harvey Shapiro In early December 1926, the famed mystery writer Agatha Christie created a real life mystery of her own when she suddenly disappeared Without a trace. Reporters, policemen and ordinary citizens were caught up in the manhunt. Exactly what occurred to Christie was never revealed (she claimed amnesia), but the new Michael Apted film Agatha attempts to hypothesize the 11-day events of the disappearance. Unfortunately, like the police in this mystery, screenwriter Kathleen Tynan does not solve the mystery. Instead, she realistically creates a story that is more exploitation than imagination. Apted and Tynan fill the first 20 minutes of Agatha with the known events of the 11 days. Agatha, glum and disenchanted with her marriage, leaves her house outside London one night. The next morning her car, with a fur coat and clothes still inside, is found abandoned in a wooded area. Ten days later, she is discovered in a healtfy spa in Yorkshire County hundreds of miles away from London. In Tynan’s version, Christie took a train in ,order to reach her final destination. Once there, Christie peculiarly registers under the name, of her husband’s mistress. Meanwhile, her disappearance has the police — searching the countryside, and newspapermen clinging like leeches. One American reporter, Wally Stanton, sensing that Christie is alive, discovers her at the spa. There, a relationship develops between the two, adding romance to the mystery. Fact overcomes fiction The mystery, since we know where Christie is, revolves around the reasons for the novelist taking refuge at the spa. Is Christie there to dig up facts for a new novel? To have her husband prove a love that is not there? To commit suicide? Or finally to kill her husband’s lover who also happens to be at the spa? But history destroys the suspense Agatha attempts to create. For instance, we know Christie lives on for another 50 years to write other books, thus she cannot succeed in any attempt to kill herself. Similarly, Christie was never jailed, thus she cannot succeed at any murder attempt. Apted tries to overcome this historical drawback by using short, fast paced scenes To heighten the suspense and keep the audience guessing at Christie’s every move. But the net effect remains the same. Agatha is much like knowing the ending of a Christie novel before sitting down to read it. Apted, with the aid of photographer Vittorio Storaro, also uses'lntricate lighting and photography to try and overcome the historical constraints. At the start of Agatha, characters like the reader at the opening of a Christie novel are literally in the dark as to Christie’s whereabouts. Stanton, for instance, is portrayed in dim light (even if sunlight is pouring into the room), thus reinforcing the mysterious air Apted is trying to create. Once Stanton has found Christie, the reverse is true and he becomes engulfed in light as if the solution to the puzzle had dawned on him. Lighting and staging also are used by Apted to portray the developing romance between Christie and Stanton. The lighting in the spa is bright, effectively of the mood capturing relationship. The casting of Vanessa Redgrave as Christie apd Dustin Hoffman as Stanton provides one of the film’s few comical Since Redgrave is several inches taller than Hoffman, their dance together in the spa’s ballroom cannot help but induce laughter from the audience at their efforts. It is one of the more enjoyable sequences in the film. Otherwise, Redgrave screenplay’s overcomes the deficiencies to effectively portray Christie as a confused woman who loves her unfaithful husband. Her performance is one of the brighter ' - R«dy»»» atwmpti to put torn* iparh in ‘Agatha' Rea! Ufa mystery it unrealistic and unmysteriout points of Agatha. Hoffman, also hampered by a lack of personality in his character, does not give a performance up to par. He is simply not believable as the smooth talking journalist. Agatha's love story does not work. Tynan has sabotaged the by romantic interest not developing the effectively characters of Stanton and Christie. Stanton particularly lacks development There is no clue to any personality other than that of an arrogant journalist whose motives in following the story are suspect This leaves the audience ambivalent to the main protagonists of Agatha and to their romance. Despite all the attempts to emulate a Christie puzzler, the picture falls far short of capturing the famous mystery and intrigue. Agatha is not a bad film by all means, just one that fails to give the audience two hours of suspense.

This committee consists of one person who is also the curator, solely responsible for the running of Gallery 219: a dedicated and determined woman named Violet Lee. An artist herself, Violet Lee took on the job of curator almost two years ago out of an “interest in wanting to have a space where art could be shown for students.” It has been two years of frustration yielding only inner satisfaction at the knowledge that she has tried her best with limited support.

The story of the boy who, chosen by Merlin the Magician to lead war-torn Britain, pulls the magic sword from a stone and becomes king, is still popular and full of life. In today’s media glut, Arthur’s presence is strongly felt; the works of Mark Twain, H. Warner Munn, T.H. White, Vera Chapman, Lord Tennyson, Mary Stewart, Lemer and Lowe, John Steinbeck, aiTH many others enjoy a quiet, steady success. Even the flawed, but definitive-Le Morte d'Arthur (written by Sir Thomas Mallory in 1471) is still available. On top of all these works lies Thomas Berger’s Arthur Rex, the newest interpretation. Berger, author of Teddy Villanova? and seven other novels, has written a grand, picturesque novel that largely conforms to the myth. But some events are his own invention, his own twists and reworkings, that add to the flavor of the novel and Wheels r I Jieran Berger deals with the Christian ethic of the legend as an aspect of medieval life, not as a sacred, distant topic, tie understands it and renders it believeable, a fact of life rather than fantasy. the richness of the narrative. He retains the magic of Camelot but not the distance, the idealism, and the stiffness of other renditions. Instead, Berger takes us much closer and examines Camelot not as a Utopian fantasy, but.almost as a real world. Indeed, if we can accept a little magic, Berger’s Camelot is ' real. The tone of Arthur Rex is lighthearted, but not without depth; Berger interjects many clever epigrams and philosophical statements. Always present as the omniscient storyteller and commentator, he personally guides the reader from one event to another. The reader is not alone in Arthur Re* Berger is there with him, explaining, relating, entertaining and informing. Arthur Rex’s major plot twist concerns the Sangreal, or Holy Grail. Quests are undertaken to find it,‘ *p<lrticularly when there is nothing else to occupy, the knights in idyllic Camelot, but the quests are only mentioned in passing, Galahad is still the — ‘ * - most virtuous and pure knight, but he never seeks the Grail, dying instead on the battlefield against the wicked Mordred. Berger deals with the Christian ethic of the legend as an aspect of medieval life, not as a sacred, distant topic. He understands it and renders it believable, a fact of life rather than fantasy. The characters are vivid and delightful: Either Pendragon is a coarse rogue; Gawain, a skirt-chasing ladies’ man; Lancelot, a born follower hopelessly chained by Guineviere's strong will; Percival is naive and ignorant; Galahad, a sickly boy who nevertheless is the ideal knight; and Mordred, a slippery, vile wimp devoted solely to evil. Virtue is a goal many fall short of, and no character is above human failings. Arthur is complex and multidimensional, though this is seldom revealed directly. All the characters retain their and individuality distinctiveness throughout the course of the novel. There exists a good balance between action and conversation. Berger constructs simple, but tight sentences suitable for reading aloud. He richly characterizes and describes without losing the lively pace and spirit of adventure. The story’s magic is maintained through Berger's prose. He writes in a medieval style similar to Mallory’s,* structuring Arthur Rex much like Le Wane d'Arthur. With an economy of words, he paints characters and a world that are rich and full of life, divulging informalities and amusing truths of life in a formal but simple idiom that is both easy and enjoyable to read. Arthur Rex moves with energy and color beyond the bones of the legend. The flesh is all Berger’s. Looking for a new approach, the author offers us a close, modern view of a legend far too removed in many previous attempts. Arthur Rex, through the beauty of Berger’s prose and his insight and creativity, is an impressive novel. It shines as a witty, revealing new look at an old myth holding a significant place in Western culture for centuries. —Mark Cofta . - � * � * � New Books at the UGL Beautiful, also, are the souls of my Black sisters, by Jeanne U.

If nothing else, it freed Russian playwrights from writing plays like Summer People (now playing at The Center for Theatre Research); no longer do they have to toil in literary salt mines, excavating the hollow lives of upper class Russians to the stage. Taken seriously, Maxim Gorki’s Summer People will have us all believing that dreck about the ‘turgid Russian soul.’ Please, spare us. Summer People is a tableau of attitudes held by turn of the century professional Russians. These people: doctors, engineers, lawyers, etc. are much afost class. Freed from the fear of starvation, their lives are a great deal better than the lot of most Russians. However, they seem to have succeeded too well one way and failed considerably in another. Adrift, they seem to lack substance.

These are good jobs done of unassuming roles. » - McGoohan’s/While ' New territory A problem: this play often seems to lag a considerable distance behind the audience; while we are rca3y for some catalystic action* the play is still regurgitating their basic condition. At this point the relaxed pacing can’t help. Coupled with the relatively melodramatic tenor of the production, the atmosphere about the scenes becomes oppressive, stultyfmg. We are over 70 years and many cultures removed from the action depicted in Summer People-, solemnifying the play makes this distance no more broachabje. While there are bright touches of comedy in the production they are too few and much too localized to the third and fourth acts. In a rousing fourth act Summer People explores territory not covered in The Sea Gull.-When Eovovna tells her fellow Russians that "We (oust have the courage to keep quiet," to stop complaining about the insignificant problems in their lives and find meaning by making their lives meaningful, everyone agrees with her. And yet, when a few minutes later a disgruntled engineer says that he is glad he no longer toils like his peasant parents, and that he likes life even if he does bitch, practically everyone agrees with him. They are, as it were, in a fit of mass hysteria able to be swayed one or way by another the impassioned speeches of any leader. So much for change. They leave at the end of the summer not one way or another by events. The wife of Basov,.Varvara, leaves her husband but goes away with other summer people. The chance she has of asserting herself in her life seems slim. She is a victim (and simultaneously, a promoter) of a culture, not a marital relationship.

The problem seems to be most people don’t even know the display cases exist, much less that they-are available to them. Some students have claimed that no one there takes an interest in the ,, student artists or of anyone, else. Presently, 24 medieval manuscripts occupy the cases. From the collection of Rev.

According to the Assistant to the President of the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) John Moore, there is no guarantee that TAP will be raised, since the action of the Trustees was not a “It would legislative one. therefore not trigger an automatic aid hike,” he said. A new maximum of $5000 sets the boundary for New York State loans, which students fear will not, in view of the recent legislation, have their limits extended. The SBA report points out that the individual student’s budget for the past year was set at $5185. “With the increase, it must automatically go up to $5386," the report states. It argues that UB law school students are still reeling from the effects of 1976’s 77-;—-- $400 fee boost Headricks believes that increased costs will either drive away prospective law students out of State or out of school or drive the “best” students out of SUNY. A study which he compiled showed that 21 percent of students receiving TAP had “superior qualifications” for law school admittance, while only - — three percent of those ineligible for TAP had superior ratings. “An increase in law school tuition for our 750 students would net the State, at most, $150,000 would be which by outweighed the serious negative effects." Headricks maintained. Marlin said that a general sense emanating from Tuesday’s meetings with legislators was that even if some form of a tuition increase goes through for SUNY undergraduate education and dentistry, medicine and optometry, “there will be ardent attempts to exempt the law school.” Paper shortage tied to increased consumption lettering are characteristic of the medieval art of “illumination," Most of the pages in the Art Book Collection are from Books of Hours and, while not particularly rare, they are authentic and beautiful examples of medieval illustration. Two of the displays are, however, exceptional. A page from the Office of the Blessed Virgin and a French Bible leaf from the 13th century are quite rare and especially striking. Along with the manuscripts are a number of statuettes and ornaments from the 17th and 18th centuries. No word Despite the fact that this exhibition is both pleasing and valuable, getting it displayed was difficult. Gretchen Knapp, an undergraduate in the Classics Department, has taken full responsibility for the exhibit. Though the cases were empty and unreserved at the time she requested space, she claimed library officials took nearly a month to give her the go-ahead. Even then, she was given no assistance. The lights in the display cases, for example, have remained unrepaired. “I’ve been given a lot of runaround,” she said. , The display will continue until April 1st at which time it will be replaced by a Polish exhibition reputedly the same exhibition as last year. There is no word on any future showings. -Ross Chapman - by SbeiaScolese Stuff Writer Subsequently, the campus relies on prompt, efficient deliveries by the paper companies to insure an adequate supply. In recent months, however, paper shipment delays have created the present dilemma. The paucity of papyrus has affected some departments here drastically, others hardly at all. The English Department is one which has been hit hard although a recent shipment has lessened the blow. Normally, between 70,000 and 80,000 sheets are distributed monthly within the -Department. The recent cutback has forced professors to obtain their own paper or cut down on class Stenographer Kay hand-outs. Maher, who is involved with English budget and supply, has dispensed the paper during the shortage. Among the resultant problems is a constant jamming of the photocopying machine. “People bought their own paper which was causing jams in the machine. In Spectrum Paper. We write on it. We read our news from it. We even blow our noses with it. But a nationwide paper shortage has made one of our most common items a rarer commodity. the According to US Department of Commerce the source is of the problem threefold; an increase in paper consumption; slow development of the paper mill industry, unable to accomodate the heightened demand; and widespread strikes by paper mill employees, A UB purchasing agent said the shortage is driving costs way up. “Usually the price of paper is fairly low, but when company X can sell their supply for a higher price, they’ll sell it to those willing to pay that higher price,” he explained. “In my opinion, it’s not a genuine shortage, not anything that can’t be cured,” hi: related. “It’s purely artificial, they create a shortage so they can get the price they want. It’s controlled ’ inflation.” —continued on pave 22— The apparent dearth of paper may be likened to sugar, meat and coffee ‘scarcities’ in recent years which were later deemed big business ploys.

Gasper TOany B? ~&ot M KENMORE AVE. (Krai from Univmily Han) UJ-U44 In an effort to continue the apparent surge of interest in commuter-dorm student alienation, evidenced in part by Letters to the Editor of The Spectrum, let’s take a look at how other local schools have been able to integrate their commuters into the college scene. As I sec it, the UB situation is very similar to that of Buffalo State College, where commuters and resident students share the same facilities. At schools like Erie Community College, all the students are commuters, yet many activities are sponsored with great success. At Buff -State, too, activities for commuters are held with better results than those attempted here. So much for the what; now for the why. The commuter may feil left out of the campus life, with jobs, bills and whatever waiting at home. The simple fade of driving or taking the bus serves ash very real barrier to those who would, under different circumstances, attend these events. Commuting some 50 miles roundtrip is not the most productive way to spend an hour per day. Few commuters want to drive the extra distance to see a two-hour movie and then drive back again. Few fee;l that the dormies would want them at their functions; reasoning that may or not be valid. -Recent letters indicate that this sort of emotion exists on both sides of the coin, yet whether the point under fire is peanute butter sandwiches or Ancient Philosophy, name-calling and arguing only serve to further alienate the two factions of what should be an integrated, friendly student body. This is not to say that group unity is bad, but to exclude one group from all the affairs of the other will only aggravate the issue. True, floor parties and the like are inside affairs; a resident of third floor Porter most likely wouldn’t want a Goodyear resident or commuter to attend. But by the same standard, why not a picnic-type party for commuters and friends at some place like Chestnut Ridge? There is a great deal of camaraderie among commuters we can appreciate the crap our fellow roadrunners have to put up with we feel cheated in certain respects, but lucky in others. We are lucky to enjoy our homes, even with the assorted problems this entails, we eat real food for dinner (which all my “dormie” friends seem rather having the freedom to envious of). And we are often more mobile travel and see more of the area. Perhaps it is this characteristic of commuters that engenders such a strong bond among us. Most of us were bom and raised in the Buffalo area we arc proud of it and resent all those residents from downstate knocking our city and our weather. These are some of the reasons that commuters begin to feel alienated from the rest of the University. I realize that all this fine rhetoric makes the commuter seem a bit glorified some kind of knight on his or her faithful stallion fighting the forces of evil... yet while part of the problem lies with the residents, the greatest part lies among ourselves. During the fall semester I limited myself to those people and places in my home area. Sure I met some people from the dorms, but — \ - \ we hove moved. — , - STANLEY H. KAPLAN EDUCATIONAL CENTER LTD. — generally did not an effort to get involved in their activities, although I was asked to. Through my own fault then, last semester was New Address: a bust. What really changed my attitude was an invitation to a party held at EUicott in February. After seeing what I’ve been missing, and finding out that most dormies really would like to meet us. I’ve tried since to attend some of the activities that the University offers. True, my job doesn’t let me do as much as I’d like to, but when time and gasoline from permit, you can usually find me here catching up on everything movies to> meditating on Math and finding this University to be a great wealth of information, friends and good times. I have had friends from the dorms at my home, showing off my hometown and its sights. Without any further oververbalization, the point is that if we, the commuters, take the trouble to meet them, the dormies, both sides will find n£w lifestyles opened up to them and a new outlook towards this place we’ve been driving to these past too-many months. 1420 Millersport Highway Williamsville, N.Y. 14221 (The Call (716) 688-4012 Cam KmM|i I Netkwli Reason for move: TO PROVIDE A BIGGER, BETTER, - MORE COMFORTABLE CENTER OUR - • ( * * FOR For Imormalron About Other Canters In Maior US Cities A Abroad Ouliide NV Stala Can TOLL ftn 000 7J3 1T0J SUNY/B • * How many of us know there is a special branch of the Student Association trying to get us some parties and movies and other benefits?

Sam Pellom, master of the backboards during a four-year career for the University of Buffalo, will be making his local professional debut when he returns to the Memorial Auditorium at 8 p.m. tonight. Signed by the Harlem Globetrotter organization, “The Bam” is currently averaging 17 points a game for the team paid to play the Globetrotters, the Washington Generals. As a starter for the Generals, Pellom faces the daily prospect of fighting valiantly only to be defeated by the world reknowned legends. As a sophomore at UB, Pellom put the Bulls on the basketball map by out-rebounding the nation. Though his final two years were less successful, his overall career is studded with numerous Buffalo records. With more than 1300 points, Pellom ended his collegiate playing days as UB’s number two all-time scorer,, topped only by Jim Home’s 1833 points in the early I950’s. In addition, the 6’9” native of Gastonia, North Carolina, holds seven other individual records; most blocked shots iri one-game (13); most blocked shots in a season (155 in 1975-76); most games played in a season (26, 1975-76 and 1976-77); most games in a career (95 of 95); most career rebounds (1201); most Trotter tradition The team he competes against has amassed a few records of its own, as well. Formed 53 years ago, the Globetrotters have played to the tune of “Sweet Georgia Brown” (a theme-song as popular as the Trotter’s magic circle) before audiences in 97 nations. For many of the crowds, the Trotters’ antics was their initial taste of roundball. In the early days, the Trotters played under the strict operation of entrepreneur Avc Saperstien. One of pro basketball’s most respected founders, he quickly launched his Magicians of Basketball into the years before the game had branched into a multi-million dollar operation. At the peak of their success (in the late 40’s), the Trottep were considered the elite of pro ball. As the first team to use an organized scouting system, they were able to attract otherwise outstanding, bt unknown talent. Prior to the formation of the National Basketball Association (NBA), the Globetrotters were the club that every other organized squad yearned to defeat something rarely accomplished. The infant years of the NBA featured an annual all-star game in which the NBA’s best were matched up with the invincible — roll along. men from Harlem. With his shiny billiard-ball As the NBA players improved their playing ability, the trotters head, Neal almost stands out as were forced to simply entertain. the diplomatic figure on the Featuring the dribbling magic of Globetrotters. At age 45, Neal has Marques Haynes and the comical played before billions of fans, live exploits of “Meadowlark Lemon,” and through television coverage, the Trotters remained famous by and is readily recognized becoming a show for the whole throughout the world. “Our fans family.

On January 5, 1971, a last second desperation heave by player-coach Red Klotz lifted the Generals to victory. Otherwise, the Trotters’ record is perfect: better than 5000 victories without a defeat. �No Names dethroned I Wagon’s 82-80 win nets ‘B’ title by Carlos Vallarino coming from the left side and all popping into the net without touching the rim or the backboard. Assistant Sports Editor A new Intramural Basketball “B” League champion was crowned Monday evening at Clark Hall, but by no means could it be said that one game decided which team was indeed better. One need Chuck Wagon 82, No only look at the score ' Names 80, in double overtime to see that these two teams are evenly matched and will never settle the question of superiority. The No Names ended their one-year reign atop the league rather unceremoniously, almost giving the impression that they didn’t want to win. Several times throughout the game the Noes,held leads of five or more, but they seemed to lack the intensity and drive to put the Wagon away for good. For example, the Names were ahead 30-20 with just five minutes remaining in the first half presumably a safe difference until> the intermission. But a live-point spurt (on a basket and subsequent steal and three-point conversion) by Jim Ferrare brought the Wagons back to life. Taking advantage of the Names’ loss of poise, the Wagon team climbed right back- into contention, and led by Richie Sherman’s successful interpretation of a foul-line shooting clinic (eight for eight for the half; 15 for 15 oyerall),-ended the first twenty minutes tied at 39. Joe Wald’s desperation jumper with a few seconds still showing culminated Chuck Wagon’s on the clock — - — resuscitation. One-man show “We should’ve put them away when we had ftffem, but we let them back in the game,” said a‘ disappointed Mark Allen of No Names. “But it was no dishonor losing to them. They were very good.” The words of admiration for the other team were on every player’s lips, and it became evident that these two squads now respect each other highly. “They were really excellent,” remarked the Wagon’s 17-point scorer Mike Reinert, who, as one of the winners, may" well have had an easier time complimenting the opposition. “We were evenly matched, but the key was our bench.” The only player Who contributed more than Reinert was Sherman, who tallied for 29, and guided his team out of cold spells w th several clutch two-pointers apd crucial free throws before fouling out in overtime. “Everyone on the team came through,” said an elated John Solomon who doubled as the Wagpn-coach, “but Sherman was a one-man show. He could have beaten them by himself.” At certain instances in the. tong contest it seemed a$ If he planned to do just that. After roughly 7 minutes of play in the second half, Sherman hit on three straight 25-foot bombs, all ; After the shooting exhibition, Sherman tried a long one from the right side, but the southpaw’s aim was off, and the Wagon had to settle for its slim 51-49 edge. However, the lead did not hold up for long. Playing with two key performers in severe foul trouble Reinert and center Kent Johnson, the Wagon’s pivot in the two-one-two zone defense Chuck Wagon fell prey to the No Names’ balanced Scoring attack, and trailed by 63-59 with six minutes - — left. Overtime, again But Sherman and teammate Joe Ward were still around and together they managed to bring the Wagon to within 71-.70, capped by a Sherman free throw after a No Name technical was called. With rperely a minute to go, Chuck Wagon used a time out in order to work out strategy. Although the Original plan was unsuccessful, a pair of offensive rebounds guided tire bali to Steve Treglia, who scored on a 15-footer from the right side, and put Chuck Wagon ahead; 72-71. After the Noes had regrouped by using a time out of their own, the .Names’ Howie Grossman attempted a short jumper, but met.with an obstacle an all-out thwarting try by Ward. For his efforts, though, Grossman received the opportunity to win the game: a pair of foul shots with four seconds left. He confidently put in his firsTattempi, but,his next bounced off short, and time' ran out Ivith the count knotted at 72. The fifty or so spectators gave both teams a rousing round of applause when they .reappeared on the floor for the five minute,overtime session. And just to please the loyal crowd, the players staged an encore. The Names had taken a quick 76-72 lead in the first extra period, but then simply watched the Wagon roar back, even without the trusty help of Sherman, who had fouled out. With the score knotted at 78 and 40 seconds remaining, the No Names held the ball and still had a chance to lay claim to the title for the second year in a row, but failure to organize a concise plan forced Jay Fieldstein to unload a last second top of the key express. With everyone holding their breath, the ball fell quite short of the mark, forcing another overtime to break the deadlock. The short two-minute period ended abruptly, but sweetly, for the victors. Following an even trade of field goals, the Wagon team had possession with only 45 seconds showing. After working the ball inside, Ward fired in the game winner, a shot that seemed to bounce on the rim forever, but one which finally dropped through for the new champions. — —DIVincenzo OSCAR: Steve Treglia o' Chuck Wagon has one foot in Hollywood as ha tries to draw an offensive foul on Rick Steele's shot.

Maher said die students and the •tfessors “really suffered” from t paper plight, but the new ipment has alleviated much of strain of the shortage. it yet The computer center, although employs vast amounts of paper, apparently remained Department' member Daniel Hennemann explained that s program conserves “We’re very aware of the shortage,” \per he nowledged. “However, we at ongoing taper. j center have not yet been a ipacted. Shortages are instant problem and if things mid really get rough for us, we mid have to review the situation id cut back on our supply.” In order to avoid charges of /oritism, paper distribution on is handled as fairly as jampus possible, the xhasing agent. For the present that can be done, lie said, is to locate any available supply and ipe for the problem to ease. according to —continued from . depression set in and Pfaff was of work. So, he tried to join out the armed service but was refused for two reasons: he was too young and was not a U.S. citizen. Later he sold some books to get the SI fee for citizenship papers but before he could apply, his friends lured him out for a night on -the town and drank up all of his money. When the war finally broke out he was drafted, but by then he had come to the conclusion that it was against his class interests to fight in a “capitalist” war. Besides, he had found a job and refused to leave it. In 191? Pfaff helped lead an IWW strike of rubberworkers in New Brunswick, New Jersey, but “we bungled the job” he now says. “We should have organized in the shop instead of outside.” After a few weeks on the picket lines the workers’ solidarity withered and the strike was lost. For his role Pfaff was blacklisted. Not long afterward the government unleashed a wave of repression against the IWW, a wave which included the famous Palmer raids. IWW leaders were “lynched, murdered and imprisoned” says Pfaff, and IWW offices all over the country were ransacked. The crackdown against the Wobblies marked the of the revolutionary beginning paq* A—- .,. union’s eclipse. It’s pioneering role in organizing unskilled workers in mass production industries was usurped by CIO (Congress of Industrial Organizations) unions which sought an accommodation with capitalist society rather than its transformation. In 1922 Pfaff came to Buffalo “temporarily” to find work. The IWW was active here then with a hall downtown and a seamen’s chapter, but, as harjl times fell upon the nation during the Great Depression, hard times also beset the Wobblies and membership dwindled. Today as he gazes out the window of his~ home in Buffalo’s Riverside section, the dream of a new world still lingers in Henry Pfaff’s watery blue eyes. He won’t live to see the great transofmratkm of society, he admits, but he is convinced the present system will inevitably collapse and he warns the “now generation” that it has “the next three decades to survive or perish.” Those past middle age, Pfaff writes off as “senile citizens” and “a petrified forest, dead timber.” The prevailing system, according to Pfaff, is not capitalism which, he says, passed away 50 years ago. Today we have “money-archy” in which there is “one massive group of people who own and control everything: industry, government, us.” End to crime In place of “moneyWchy” Pfaff advocates control of the “means of livelihood” by those who do useful work, and the replacement of production for profit by production for use. He envisions a world in which all could have a “$40,000-a-year sfah'datd' oT living” while' working only four hours a day. In “our world to be” there would be no / need to produce useless armaments, and without unemployment there would be “no need for courts, jails, jailors, judges, lawyers or cops of any kind.” How will the “money-archy” fall? Easily, says Pfaff. It is “social acceptance and acquiescence” which supports the money system, says Pfaff. “Our best weapon is the folded arms.” When the workers refuse money which Pfaff claims is only wealth to be hoarded and demand — — “wealth that all can use,” the revolution will have been accomplished. But it is not something which individuals can accomplish, “It is a job for us,” he says; the organized working class. Pfaff stresses that the revolution will not come about through “political” means. ‘’Governments taking over governments changes nothing but the policemen.” In the new society “the workers themselves will set policies” and “at the university the faculty and students will set the rules,” instead of a corporate-led bureaucracy. •* Last summer some filmmakers came to interview Pfaff for a documentary on the IWW, for he is one of only a half dozen or so old-time Wobblies* still around. But Pfaff doesn’t think of himself as a historical artifact; his eye is toward the future. He maintains his old contacts and keeps in touch with much younger radicals around- Buffalo. He also keeps a membership book and marks the dues paid. The book contains but a handful of names, but Pfaff says �that" there are possibly three billion International Workers of The World. They just don’t kpow it yel, they don’t yet “realize,” he says, “that they are being robbed of the product of their labor.” / -■ i ■: -i ■ - �AD INFORMATION CLASSIFIEDS may be placed at ‘The Spectrum* office, 355 Squire Hall, MSC.

The negative recommendation includes science courses which are necessary for admission to departmental majors and professional programs along with those which will satisfy requirements in the University’s still unshaped General Education plan. In advising against a hike in credits from four to five, the subcommittee noted with conviction that such an increase would “work against the spirit of the Springer Report and would inhibit rather than enhance a more liberal education.” The recommendation comes on the heels of a DUE Curriculum Committee decision to award two credits to Chemistry 319 and 320 laboratory sections. Combined with a lecture, the course will now be, in effect, a five credit offering. Implicit Chairman Donald Subcommittee Larson, administrator in the Health Sciences division, explained that his group was not charged to study the effect of credit increases on upper level courses, but that its report includes the upper division implicity. The report suggests that the spirit of the Springer Report be considered in any credit change decisions. Larson warned that expansion of credits could raise some majors above the 128 hours currently required for graduation, making those study areas less attractive to prospective freshman. “We think some of what’s going on may not hurt retention but might hurt recruitment at this University,” he said. In a vacuum In considering credit changes, the committee agreed that five credit courses are not alone in discouraging breadth of education. Four credit courses will, they believe, also limit the opportunity for students to explore various disciplines. “Required courses which retain four credits for four contact hours should be examined, not in isolation, —Kflm but in terms of their cumulative effect in degree programs before authorization is given," the report Donald Larton, gibcommUl— chairman Expansion 'might hurt mcrvitmtnt concluded. an —continued on page 18— SA forum marked by fruitless debate, meager audience by John H. Reiss the current referendum is not the best method to achieve this. He called the proposal “regressive” and said that the new Senate would be comprised of a very narrowly defined group of individuals creating a “closed system.” He indicated the change would give UB undergraduates a Senate which is “even worse than we have now.” Discussing the Senate’s passage of a number of resolutions calling for the dissolution of The Spectrum and the creation of a new newspaper to be managed Special to The Spectrum Few came, less conquered saw, no one Proponents and opponents of the referendum calling for the dissolution and restructuring of the Student Association (SA) Senate brought their cases to the student body Monday in a subdued forum in Squire Hall’s Haas Lounge. If attendance is any indication of student interest, very little interest exists The recently organized forum was viewed mostly by the usual handful of students who bide their time in Haas Lounge, and who just happened to be present when the debate was sprung upon them. The rest of the sparse audience consisted of Senators and activists, although a few people did manage to pop their heads in when someone yelled or the microphone squeaked. The debate generally followed a pattern of statement and denial; a spokesman for one side would state his case, and someone from the other side would rise and claim that what the audience just heard was totally fallacious, and proceed to give his version of what is really happening. And what is really happening most certainly would have been unclear to anyone who just stopped by to get a handle on the issue. What became clear is that each side is unalterably opposed to the other, and that the forums will not serve to generate new student interest, and touch off a surge of new voters to the polls. Empty resolutions Director of Student Affairs Scott Jiusto, a strong supporter of the resolution, opened the forum claiming that the Senate’s efforts to destroy The Spectrum violate almost exclusively by Senators, Sinkewicz said it is “crazy” to think that the Senate wants to run The Spectrum. He claimed The Spectrum has been charged with approximately ten violations of its charter six of which he said have been substantiated. SA’s attorney is currently investigating them, he said. Sinkewicz called charges that the Senate has been irresponsible “crap” and said “this whole thing has been blown out of proportion. The Senate is not set up to take action. The Executive Committee keeps things away from the make look Senate to it irresponsible.” During question the and answer period, Senate leaders would not say whether they planned to accept the referendum, if it passes, by stepping odwn from their posts. At its meeting Thursday, the Senate passed a invalidating resolution the referendum, and gave itself the power previously held by E&C, to review the legitimacy of all referenda before they may come - TENNIS, ANYONE?; Monday’s often student foium in Haas Lounge drew a sparse corwd comprised mainly of student activists.

The forum mainly followed a pattern of the publication’s freedom of and called Senate speech, documents the favoring dissolution “plainly illegal.” He asserted that the Senate had absolutely no right to assume The Spectrum's assets, and called the Senate’s to directive SA on Sub Board I, student corporation, representatives inc., the “obviously illegal. We could be sued, but that didn’t stop the Senate.” Jiusto attacked the Senate matters for taking Constitutional into its own hands, alluding to its refusal to be bound by decisions made by the Student Wide Judiciary. “The Senate thinks it can just do what it statement and denial. Above, SA Senator Bob Sinkawicz that The Spectrum and the SA Executive Committee are U> blame for 'matking the Senate look like it's doing nothing.' charges chooses,” he said. He criticized the legislative body for attempting to seize power from the SA Elections and Credentials (E&C) Committee, and for seeking “sole authority” to amend the SA Constitution and the Book of Rules. Jiusto scoffed at some Senators’ claim that they have been working on crucial issues Such as tuition. The only real work the Senate has done, Juisto said, has been to rubber stamp measures already taken by others essentially pass empty and said it is not Committee, the Senate’s duty to bring up issues. He the Executive claimed Committee should bring issues to the Senate and charged that by the SA refusing to do so officers are giving students the impression that the Senate is doing nothing. Worsening the Senate’s image, Sinkewicz said, is the biased reporting of The — — Spectrum, which he said reports news aimed at “making the Senate look like it’s doing nothing.” resolutions. Even worse!? Bob Sinkewicz, a leading Senator and principle combattant with the SA Executive Sinkewicz admitted .that both the Senate and the Constitution need reorganization, but held that to a student-wide vote. Sinkewicz said the Senate would abide by the referendum it if considered it to be fair, but gave no indication whether the Senate feels the referendum is fair. Ketter’s involvement In ‘The Spectrum’ affair refuted lawyers to investigate the matter. If the violations are substantiated, he said, Ketter will order The Spectrum out ofits Squire Hall offices and off the UB campus. Not so, says Student Representative to the University Council Michael Pierce, who has kept in close contact with the President. According to Pierce, Levinson did speak to Ketter, but only in hypothetical terms. Pierce said that Levinson asked Ketter whether or not he would be able to take legal action against a student group on campus if it were engaged in an illegal activity and that Ketter agreed Student activist Michael Levinson said Monday that he will not only fight The Spectrum in the Student Association (SA) Senate and the student corporation, Sub Board 1, Inc., but that he has dragged University President Robert L. Ketter into the fray. Levinson told a gathering of students at Haas Lounge Monday that "he has discussed The Spectrum's alleged violations of its charter and of state and federal laws with the President. Levinson claimed Ketter has directed his Inside: Exerting tuition hike pressure—P. 2 / Women reclaim the night—P. 5 / that he could. At no point, according to Pierce, did Levinson ever bring The Spectrum into the conversation, nor did Ketter say that he was taking any action whatsoever “This indicates to me that Lev is misleading the Senate,” Pierce claimed, “and that is a recipe for disaster.” Pierce said that The Spectrum’s alleged violations is a student matter, and argued strongly against bringing in the University Administration"to‘decide th£ issue.

NO AVAILABLE IN W.N.Y fltWDA for College Spring Break in Campus Editor While the State University of New York (SUNY) Board of Trustees stands unflinchingly in support of its March 5 decision to hike lower level tuition by $150, the students of the State system and the State Assembly are pulling together in a last-ditch effort to eliminate the hike. Assembly Speaker Stanley Fink is reported to have predicted a $3 million cut in the SUNY budget if the Board of Trustees will not “cooperate” with proposed alternatives to the hike. Semmingly alone in their own corner of the ring, the Trustees maintain that an array of alternative proposals suggested by the Assembly fiscal staff, “would have severe negative consequences for the University and force it into critical problems in the next two to three years,” according to SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton. The Assembly cited areas where it felt budget changes could be withstood primarily in enrollmentand program reductions. Yet, according to Board Chairman Donald Blinken, “The University, in effecting reductions already asked of it, has cut back to the edge of what is manageable.” Since academic 1975-1976, he added, the University has cut 1700 academic and support positions, eliminated 100 academic programs, and has since 1971, cancelled SI.3 billion of planned academic and dormitory construction. Representatives of the Student Association of the State University (SASU), along with their legislative cohorts in the hike fight have marshalled tremendous energy to win over the State Legislature and persuade it to shuffle Budget allocations, in order to avert the increase. - FOR ONLY $179.00* • • • BUS TOUR 4/6 thru 4/16 R/T motor coach tour FREE BEER anrouta to Daytona Scheduled Food & Rest Stops • • • JET TOUR 4/7 thru 4/14 R/T direct charter flight to Daytona from Buffalo Inflight mads & beverages Transportation from airport to hotels •259” •179” (Only 25 jet seats left I) ALL TOURS INCLUDE; Oceanfront Accommodations for eight days, seven nights at the Ramada Inn/Silver Beach Motel, Daytona Inn or Days Inn. e Welcome & farewell parties with plenty of FREE BEER, e Optional features include: Walt Disney World Tour.

Anti-hike pressure mounts as State officials prepare to vote by Elena Cacavas . —Buchanan lobert Millonzi, UB College Council chairman Staunch supporter of the status quo Assembly support In immediate response to the tuition boost on March 5, Fink told SUNY students that if they could gain a majority of Assembly support on petitions, he would ardently push a bill pumping additional monies into the SUNY budget. According to SASU Legislative Director Larry Schillinger, the Assembly is “pretty much lined up now.” He said Fink met with legislators Monday evening to agree on the exact wording of the petition. Although Fink originally set a two-week limit on petition circulation, snarls in the wording influenced him to extend the deadline Schillinger claimed the “catch” to the petition called for documentation Of the exact amounts to be cut from elsewhere outside of SUNY allocations in the State budget and specific indication of which areas would lose. As of March 7, the Governor’s proposed 1979-1980 budget was amended to include $13.6 million in new revenue from the tuition hike. Yet, while the hot potato appears to rest in the which has the power to lap of the Legislature amend or accept the proposed budget the Trustees still maintain control over the master switch on tuition costs. Schillinger claimed that SASU has to date received “no committment” on the part of the trustees to avert a hike, yet maintained, “The the body with which budget power legislature rests can really pressure the Board.” - - — — — - SUNY budget cut Schillinger reported that Fink said Friday, “If Trustees insist upon raising tuition, they shouldn’t be surprised if they find a $3 million cut in the SUNY budget.” Wharton told the Courier Express Friday that the Trustees would back off on the tuition boost if the legislature increased its SUNY’s revenue by some other means. Confident of Assembly support, SASU strategy is now being focused upon the Senate. Chairman of the Assembly’s Committee on Higher Education Mark Siegel said Thursday as he toured Buffalo, “We in the Assembly have resisted it (tuition hike)... If the Senate goes along, I think we’ll go along with a the budget increase.” According to Assemblyman William Hoyt, D Buffalo, “What we’re going to try to do is see if there’s enough pressure this month from students and students’ parents for the Assembly to raise that money itself without tuition (increases). But it will take an extraordinary.amount of pressure.” Schillinger described the situation students currently face as they watch the bouncing ball of “We are educational costs juggled between hands . in limbo for the next two weeks. It all comes down to the final hours before the March 31 budget session.” He met Tuesday evening with Senate Democratic leaders and Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees James Warren to “gain some idea of their - , positions.” . �Power rally slated today * CO Anti-nukes, environmentalists meet, discuss strategies, tactics The arrest of 180 demonstrators last Saturday at the Seabrook, Massachusetts nuclear power plant set an urgent tone for a meeting held in Squire Hall designed to organize strategies and tactics concerning Love Canal and nuclear reactor environmental problems.

Monday, when the Einstein commemorative acclaims relativity theory by Steve Bartz, and Mike Gagnon Theory Time has a way of separating merely good men from the great. Good men leave behind material memorials: buildings, institutes and monuments. But the legacy of the great are the ideas and actions they contribute to civilization. Although Albert Einstein did not bequeath us with science institutes and college halls, his thoughts and theories about our universe serve as much greater memorials to his genius. It is Einstein’s equation that lies ready on the tip of every educated person’s tongue, that seems to characterize all scientific knowledge and theoretical thinking: E=mc2. Today is the one hundredth anniversary of Einstein’s birth, and scientists and laymen alike are planning the largest celebration ever of the physicist’s life. Einstein’s theories and writings spurred radical changes both in and out of science. Elis theories mortally wounded conventional concepts of physics, held since the time of Sir Isaac Newton, so suddenly that many could not accept them. Though his intuitive genius challenged the credibility of others, his own credibility was challenged by new theories generally accepted by other physicists In particular, Einstein criticized the theorems of quantum mechanics which to determine the attempt characteristics of elementary particles using theories of probability. “God doesn’t play with dice,” he said. One of Einstein’s colleagues told him thereafter “not to tell God what to do.” It is apparent that Einstein had no monopoly on intuitive insights. He received inadequate grades for two years of high school mathematics. (One math teacher went down in academic infamy for telling Einstein that he would “never amount to anything.”) College was a struggle for the future physicist and it was only through a friend’s last-minute massive tutoring that he passed his exit examination. Einstein’s great theories were developed not at the university, but rather while processing proposed inventions at the Swiss Patent Office and practicing the violin at home. Einstein’s most ambitious scienfific work is the General Relativity, which to from their surface. The man’s most far-reaching body of thought deals with “special relativity,” where all physical measurements are relative and the only constant is the speed of light. The scientific implications of this theory are enormous: universal constants are no longer universal and mass, length, and time change as one approaches the speed of light. Einstein realized that a man on a moving, windowless train cannot tell if he is moving, how fast he is moving, or in what direction; and there is no experiment he can perform in the train that will give him a clue. In general, any frame of reference is,as good as another. As Einstein put it, “As far as we know, the Universe has no hitching post.” The shock waves of relativity theory spilled over into philosophy on one hand and the everyday world on the other, though Einstein himself did little to propel them in theSff areas. A lack of absolute-"-yhvsical constants served as an analog for the notions of inevitable subjectivity and partiality in the spheres of journalism, justice and human relations. Influenced by Einstein’s relativity, thinkers in the humanities began to realize that no publication and no individual is objective that is relative. everything While Einstein’s theories were altering other disciplines, the grand master of theoretical physics seemed relatively unefTected by the waves his thinking raised. His own philosophy was elemental. Life, he thought, should (like physics) be fundamentally simple: when he discovered two bars of soap in his bathroom, he remarked, “one for shaving and one for washing? This is too complicated.” Cornell Law School Academic Affairs Undergraduate Prelaw Program New assistant to Bunn named There’s a “new kid on the block” in Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn’s office. Voldemar Innus, formerly of the UB School of Management, has been appointed to the post Robert Ketter on Bunn’s by President recommendation. Innus was selected from of tie together the of energies gravity, electricity, magnetism and internuclear forces. The theory, if Einstein had completed it (a feat which no one has yet accomplished to anyone’s satisfaction), would have welded together all physical laws into a complete and unified blueprint of the universe. A better known achievement was his description of the conversion of matter to energy (the famous H=mc2). The world’s most emblematic equation is the governing principle in any nuclear reaction. Einstein’s 1921 Nobel Physics prize was awarded primarily for his explanation of the photoelectric effect, a phenomenon in which metals exposed to light eject electrons attempts applicants of various SUNY institutions. Innus succeeds Robert Wagner, who moved to President Ketter’s office last August. Innus’ new position entails many financial duties including budgeting for academic departments.

St. Patty's Day 'Parly of the Year' �A personal account 5 ‘Take Back the Night’ march: 700 Women move for change Editor's note: Polly MacDavid describes herself as decidedly non-feminist in that she is not involved in what many consider to be radical activities designed to promote female equality. But she attended the recent Take Back the Night March last Wednesday and found that so-called exclusively "feminist" activities can be meaningful to any woman. The following is her first person account of the march. " by Polly MacDavid Spectrum Staff Writer I am not a dedicated disciple of feminism. But when 1 heard about the “Take Back the Night” march, organized and partly sponsored by Women Organizing Against Violence Against Women (WOAVAW), I was eager to participate. Like many other women. I resent the fact that I cannot walk the streets at night or. for that matter, during the day without fear of being sexually assaulted, raped or beaten. Since I knew some people who were going to the march, I hitched a ride with them We drove to the United Methodist Church on the corner of West Ferry and Richmond, which served as the start and finish for the march. Escorted by the police, we marched, four abreast on a winding route down Richmond, Utica, Elmwood, to Hodge Street; to the Children’s Hospital where a large number of rapes are being reported. Along the way we exuberantly chanted: “Women unite! Take back the night!” and “There’s no excuse for women’s abuse!” People waved and applauded us from their windows and some came out to the street to watch. Some of them joined us. At the Children’s Hospital, poetry was read, words were said. We turned around and marched back to the church, about 700 of us, many of whom were, strangely enough, men. Back at the church. Women’s groups, including the Women’s Studies College from UB, had set up tables displaying literature on the women's movement. International Women’s Day and social problems such as child and marital abuse. There were posters, T-shirts, buttons for sale and lots of free handouts. Raped before “We want to show society we aren't passive." declared Lisa Albrecht, one of the march's coordinators. A similar march was held last fall in San Francisco and one is scheduled for this fall in New York City's Time Square. All of them are designed to combat the proliferation of anti-women concepts being displayed through pornography and crime. At the church, everybody was trying to find a seat and get quiet to hear the speakers. Fat Pinttalked about the “rape" of Love Canal homeowners, I couldn’t see what it had £p do with the theme of the march though. One of the other speakers was from the Washington, DC. Rape Crisis Center Nkenge Toure spoke on various aspects of sexual assault and rape and what to do about it in day to day life. “Let men know you resent being a sex object,” she demanded of us. “Change will be slow." she cautioned, “but it’s not impossible.” We stood and applauded with all our vigor. It was pretty late by then. 1 was worrying how to get back to Ellicott. I thought it rather significant that I could not walk or hitch back for fear of rape or assault. I found a friend with a car. On the way back the four of us talked about the problems of rape. Two of us had been raped before. For me, this made the march that much more needed and real. I’m not sure what actual “good” will come of the march. Change will be slow, as Toure said. But, for sure, we’re set for a change.

Unleash the fury of women as a mighty force for the cause of revolution. The infinite echo of the cry for liberation resounds not only throughout “California and the New York islands,” but also in Third World countries, where the movement for the liberation of women is now on the brink of true emergence. Last Thursday, the Third World Student Association offered a panel discussion in celebration of International Women’s Day, bringing to light the struggle of minority women who must contend with racist, as well as male chauvinist, oppression. Speech Communications graduate student Naomi Nhitwatiwa spoke of the plight of Zimbabwe (Rhodesian) women. The roles of women there “were always clearly defined,” she said. “The wife belonged to the whole family,” she stated; therefore one married not a man but a community. The three major functions of the wife were as an aunt (so she could supervise the conduct of her brother’s children) as a wife (so she could maintain her own home) and eventually as a grandmother who served as a “consulate to the whole community.” ” New Senate meets . . . if ‘United efforts’ Women’s Studies college instructor Wanda Edwards spoke next on the role of the Black American woman in this “common struggle.” Capitalism exploits black men, but exploits black women even more, she declared, citing the existence of double oppression.

The service, originated by the UB Anti Rape Task Force, has been continually refined to reflect the larger goal of a safe, walkable campus for all students, male and female. The UB Escort Service works because sensitive and hard-working people make it work.

Any reasonable person would conclude that students will be forced to leave their families and travel on Easter Sunday, which belies part of the reason for granting Spring Break in the first place. Perhaps, as a recent letter-writer suggested, the University can extend the break one day in lieu of the snow days which were built into the schedule this year but never used. It makes good sense and would be an admirable gesture toward students who would like to spend this holiday in living rooms instead of airport lounges.

One of the leading arguments of those opposed to granting any option to conscientious objectors to abortion in this school’s mandatory student health insurance is that objectors should have to face a board as conscientious objectors to war do. It was argued by C.A.R.A.S.A. at Thursday night’s Sub Board meeting that conditions for granting objector status here “should he even more rigorous” than in the case of conscientious objection to war. For example, it was argued that objectors should be required to show that they had helped a woman in an unwanted pregnancy. But when I presented my own case, telling how I had helped care for a baby a sister had staying home for six months and not returning to school until January, then I was told that no one should be permitted to not pay for abortion coverage regardless of their conscience. All this talk of review boards had been merely for rhetorical effect. How comparable are the cases of conscientious objection to war and conscientious objection to abortion? In the one case there is a belief that aggression may not be resisted. But in the case of abortion it is not an aggressor’s life which the mm MOiSS objector will not take or help take, it is simply an unwanted life, an inconvenient life, a life that it could take some time away from school to deliver. It seems to me that the case for conscientious objection here is even more compelling, and a society that recognizes the one case should surely recognize the other even more. C.A.R.A.S.A.’s last question was why are we concerned about conscience where only women are concerned? First, this is not my only concern, and secondly are not the unborn lives taken in abortion both male and female? I am equally concerned for both. But I am particularly distressed that when parents who have happened to learn of their child’s sex through amniocentesis and then decide to abort because the child is not of the desired sex it is more often a female that is aborted. One speaker against allowing any option for conscience’s sake did say that “responsible mothers and fathers of abortions do mourn” that a developing life is ended. But when I passed by the singing and dancing at the C.A.R.'A.S.A. rally I don't think 1 saw a single mourner. The words of the song went, “Move on over or we’ll move all over you."

Don’t tell me what 1 should be feeling!

My name and that' of the College of Urban Studies was missing, and I feel that this absence deserves an explanation. 1 share all the concerns expressed by my colleagues on the potential impact of the General Education proposal on the students’ freedom to choose course work from the wide array of courses available at the university. If a series of decisions in implementing item 2 of Proposal A, the identification of units and of courses to fall under each of the designated knowledge areas, is carried out so as to exclude more often than include courses, then the students will be greatly constrained in their educational options. Such a policy is not, however, implicit, let alone explicit in the General Education Report, nor was it, as I understand it, generally in the committee and subcommittee leading discussions to the development of the present proposal. Thus, while I share their concerns, I do not share my colleagues’ judgement that these concerns should be expressed as an opposition to the Committee proposal itself. A recent “interpretation” by Dean Peradotto has resulted in no College’s courses, except where they are cross-listed with departments, being included in the distribution system now in effect. While this simply reaffirmed what has been the situation up to now, and thus is no further threat to registration our under the preserft set of requirements, implications threatening to the Colleges are clear. If this judgement were to serve as a mode! for inclusion or exclusion in the new and much more encompassing general education plan, the colleges would be greatly hampered in their “Report Editor-in-Chief Jay Rosen Backpage Campus To the Editor To the Editor Wednesday, 14 March Business Manager Bill Finkelstein 1UI VOPD IS ISSUED TUM CNLV BSEKTTIAL NEED KEfORT KRVORK— AND NOM* SOWS UP.'' Equally concerned The square Write a letter Vol. 29, No. 70 'WHM DOES IT All contribution to the university in general, and to the students in particular. The exemption, that cross-listed but college-based courses may be included in the distribution calculation, and thus, that were other courses so cross-listed the porblem would be solved, is in principal reasonable. It is unrealistic, however, to expect departments faced with cutbacks and threatened with retrenchment to add courses to their curriculum which do not augment, but rather which threaten their FTE ratio. In the College of Urban Studies we have many courses which would routinely be in a departmental setting were the departments to have faculty in these areas already on their staff. These courses, as courses, would pass curricular scrutiny with no difficulty and the instructors, as instructors, would pass credential scrutiny. Where this is not the case, corrective procedures are underway. We do evaluate our courses. We will drop weak ones, and we will drop weak instructors. Since no personnel other than graduate assistants derive their primary income from C.U.S. we have an ability to assure continued quality in our courses. We now have an evaluative mechanism as well, one which relies on faculty based in departments to do the evaluation and to scrutinize the syllabus. Similar mechanisms may be found throughout the colleges. Were these mechanisms rather than the politically sensitive one of cross-listing in a Faculty based department td be used for inclusion in the General Education plan, we and the students could benefit from the broadened perspectives built into the new plan. Thus, 1 share my colleagues' concern, indeed their indignation but feel that it is directed toward the wrong, albeit the most timely, issue. Erwin H. Johnson Master College of Urgan Studies , Professor, Dept: of Anthropology �esdaywednesaay College curriculum committee To the Editor: Dean Peradotto has rejected the request of the that certain non-cross-listed courses be permitted for undergraduate distribution credit. His letter to the Colleges has been answered by our Dean with the advice of the Colleges Council, but we, members of the Curriculum Committee of the Colleges Colleges, choose to respond publicly so that the issue can be evaluated by all. We ask that our request be reconsidered in the spirit of the equitable treatment for all parts of the undergraduate curriculum. Dr. Peradotto claims that College courses do not receive standard disciplinary review and that they are rubber stamped (after being labeled “experimental”) by the DUE Curriculum Committee. The first claim is not true. As for the second, we quite emphatically believe that College courses have not in the past been rubber stamped and just as emphatically deny that they should be. The courses we label “experimental” are a defined subset of courses we submit for approval. Our courses are reviewed and modified within on feedback * The Senate's standards distribution credits for undergraduates to be strong; we both support it and argue that our proposal is wholly consistent with the concept as defined and modified through time. Passing curriculum and “disciplinary” reviews are seen, by the DUE Dean, as critical steps in any quest for academic legitimacy and entrance into the distribution credit process. Yet such legitimacy is defined so narrowly as pertaining only to courses within traditional departments at U.B. that the Colleges along with other non-departmental programs can never meet the DUE — - test. Should a narrow definition of discipline prevail, the Colleges would not be the only units in trouble. It is interesting to speculate on the Deans’ views about the School of Management, the School of Architecture and Environmental Design, American Studies, Millard Fillmore College, etc., and their course offerings. Examining the DUE undergraduate catalogue, case by case, we find a non-systematic mosaic of inclusions and exclusions. By comparing course titles and descriptions, any observer can confirm this finding quickly. The arbitrary criteria for courses qualifying for distribution credit is seen not only in comparisons between departments, but also within individual departments. What else could one expect, when the process by which courses have been labled eligible for distribution credit is little more than the* product of a history of non-curricular decisions? Undergraduates must be confused by these arbitrary originating College and in the Colleges Curriculum Committee prior to submission to DUE. The Colleges Curriculum Committee considers in minute detail the course content, format and rationale as well as the instructor’s qualifications for teaching the course. Courses that do not pass scrutiny are referred back to the submitting College for further development. Once passed by this criteria.

To the Editor How can you publish such destructive news about my Student Government? 1 feel that the Senate has done a very good and meaningful job. It’s very hard for students to go to school and then turn around and govern our students, budget our money and appoint different committee persons who they think will operate in the students’ best interest. 1 find it Very hard to believe that most of the students who voted last week to abolish their student Senate didn’t question why the Executive Committee would still remain intact. I’ve always believed that if one branch of our government (Senate) wasn’t living up to these standards then the other branch of government (Executive Committee) wasn’t living up to theirs. How can we (students) stand by and let The Spectrum, Karl Schwartz (our S.A. President) demean and demolish our S.A. Senate, and let the Executive Committee get off free without a bruise. Think about what your vote of “yes” has done to yourself and to all the other students at this institution. If the referendum is passed you will not have a voice because no one but inexperienced organizational members will run your government and handle your money. The Senate is still strong and will fight for the cause. Alison Hedgepeth Sheila M. Richardson S.A. Minority Student Affairs The Senate: something good? To the Editor.

His logic (?) in disqualifying the validity of the referendum. . . to claim that the student body were needed to validate the referendum,(only 10% even know about it is outright stupidity. The same “logic” can be applied to the Senate elections themselves. For example, for the last Senate elections, the 15 senators who were voted in by the were elected by only about 600 students.

Silly generalities To the t'ditor. Critically responding to Ross Chapman’s article (The Spectrum March 7th) dealing with the “New Right” is probably an exersize in futility. After all, who really expects objective journalism or unslanted political commentary from The Spectruml None the less, the piece by this movie critic turned frustrated political analyst warrants some comment. The author is obviously a tried and true “liberal”. In a mere 3/4 of a page he “liberally” lumps housewives, Ku Klux Klaner’s, the girl next door, Republicans and rednecks into one neat pile of clandestine conspiritors bent on persecuting blacks, gays, and pregnant women. He “liberally” sprinkles his article with cute stereotypes and generalities that smack of the very narrowmindedness he purports condemn. Oh, but this work was not without to of the average income American, with his job at the plant and thirty year mortgage, upon learning he is a “clear-skinned citizen of affluent middle-class”: and the startling revelation that the throngs of California citizens who ratified Proposition 13 are actually a band of no-goods .dedicated to starving the poor! Why, 1 had almost believed they were people grown tired of an irresponsible government sucking them dry, exersizing a constitutional right to do some thing about it; and of course the power behind this evil is ultimately exposed (no, not the CIA) but the dreaded “nuclear family”.

To say that “Tosh just became too involved in rock ’n roll. . . ”, is ridiculous. Tosh is part of the forefront of reggae music and his actions reflect the musics’ direction and future. With the exception of Jimmy Cliff and Bob Marley, Peter Tosh makes the future for reggae music. You may not like what you hear, but what you hear is reggae. Further on in the article I learned that “The even-handed playing of openers Exuma and the Is the writer Obeah Men was better than Tosh’s. , . serious? The warm-up band is what should have been criticized, not the main act. These guys looked and played as if someone had just dragged them in off the street, stopping at the Salvation Army to pick up their costumes. The writer also quoted one of Tosh’s earlier songs and implied that he has departed from the more subtle style that he used to have. Commenting on this he said, “The overt becomes obnoxious, even boring.” Lets leave those decisions to the people that make reggae. Incidentally, the concert was on Saturday night not Friday.

IRC: moronic inefficiency To the Editor Just an opinion about a situation that hit home personally concerning the aurrent controversy about the student apathy epidemic that permeates this school. 1 would prefer to call it moronic inefficiency on the part of certain student organizations (IRC); both seem relevant. This concerns the John Valby night at Goodyear Cafeteria last Saturday.T was told by three people at the IRC office Friday afternoon that I would be able to putchase tickets Saturday night at the door; they couldn't sell me tickets because I’m not a member of IRC. Fair enough, becuase I’m a commuter. 1 asked them four times about the possibility of a sellout. “No sweat” was their answer. Fair enough again. 1 saw Valby two years ago here and that wasn’t sold out. It all seemed reasonable. My two friends and F arrived at Goodyrear at 8;05, only to find a line as long as one at “on-line” registration the first day of the semester. While waiting on the line, 1 saw four people I knew from high school purchasing tickets. Great, except they aren’t even registered students at 'any cbllege. Two other people I knew that were still in high school got in. And three other friends of mine who attend Don's Mobil Brockport State were able to purchase tickets. In the end, we couldn’t get tickets; it was sold out. 50 other people waiting in line got stiffed also. I can see admitting students from Buffalo State or Canisius for on-campus events; I have attended events at those Schools as well as numerous events at UB (football games, fallfest, ski-club, campus bowling leagues among others). Turn-about’ is fair play. Why, though, should we open our doors to every other school in N Y. Stale and even to high schools? Could it be the greedy money-grabbing of bureaucratic student organizations that takes precedence here? (Sigma Pi Fraternity was also an organizer.) Quite a number of registered students got the short end. Why wasn’t there a check forU.B. or Buffalo State ID at the door? 1 always thought UB Student organizations served UB students. After coming to this school, 1 am fast becoming disillusioned that college life, at least here, was, is, and will continue to be something less than a full personal enrichment opportunity. This is not to say that all student organizations are moronic in nature. Just some of them. I hope this My isn’t apathy catching. disease called immunization period is running out.

I mean talk about the art of pressure decision-making, accountability and anticipated reaction. ,Talk about raising tuition in a public school system. Influenced by a nationwide tax fever, inflation, the and government waste, Governor Hugh Carey frequently right and sometimes wrong aspiring decided he wanted to raise tuition. So politician he authored a skimpy budget for SUNY and suggested that if quality is to be maintained, the by Board of Trustees will have to maintain it raising tuition. Since the Trustees are the only body authorized to hike tuition, Carey successfully dumped the onus on them. However, the Board was not about to accept Carey’s abdication of SUNY so readily. So it met with Chancellor Clifton Wharton, who admitted that an additional $9.1 million was needed to supplement Carey’s proposal, and that the State Legislature should dig, search, invent and find yiore money fer public education. Talk about passing the buck or in this case, keeping the buck and passing an empty wallet... However, Carey was not about to get the blame back from the Legislature, so he announces that it was really the Chancellor’s idea to hike tuition, not his. Wharton gracefully acknowledged that he had discussed a tuition hike with the Governor, but said if he had a choice and that is the most frequently echoed catchphrase of a politician who is about to he would prefer no tuition in SUNY at screw you all. And of course if they had a choice students would agree. Throughout the past two 'months, student leaders have been trying to convince, lobby, negotiate state officials to fight a tuition hike. But the problem is: who do you convince? The — — - — — — — - Governor?No. The Chancel|or?No. The Trustees? Maybe. The State Legilsature?Ye$. But whom do you lobby?The Chairmen of the Higher F.ducation Committees, the Chairmen of the Ways and Means and Finance Committees, the Assembly or Senate leaders, the Democrats or the Republicans, the representatives from SUNY districts, or anyone you can grab? In the midst of the student battle, the Chancellor throws a curve. He recommends that as originally facade is created that students are — being heard. The reality is that student opposition is effectively split. The word travels: The' Board of Trustees is about to make its decision. Students flood the Albany meeting ready and armed, overflowing into the corridors in one last ditch effort. Sure the Trustees listen to what’s being said, but not with open ears. “Yeah, we know all that,” is the reaction, “but where is the money going to come from?You know everything is costing more these days and education is no isolated dreamworld where students can expect to have their books and read them too. Given the circumstances. .” The Board postponed its decision. ELECTIONS FOR GSA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IH Positions: Administrative VP . * • • * * Student Affairs VP External Affairs VP Treasurer / It’s late Friday afternoon. The setting is New York City, where fiscal priorities and cost-cutting measures have been making headline news for years. Needless to say , negotiations with legislators early in the day prove unsuccessful and the Trustees Executive Committee, authorized to act for the full Board, looks like it may have to make a decision that could, perhaps, be disturbing to (guess who) students. They raise tuition. But the impact is thwarted. The majority of students will not know until Monday that tuition was raised three days ago. Press and television coverage says, “and by the way, SUNY tuition was raised ..’’ but student reaction is opposition not included. f One more catch. The Trustees note that the Executive Committee’s decision still must be approved by the full Board in April. Thus, students can still fight, lobby, negotiate and basically, waste their time because the Trustees are not about to alter their position. The Governor won. Next year, the Trustees hope, there won’t be a need to raise tuition, and since the Governor got what he wanted, maybe SUNY will receive a favorable budget. Oply they forgot that next year SUNY enrollments will have decreased, and the number of high school graduates will keep plummeting, and inflation doesn’t appear to be on the downswing and we’re talking politics and politics is a smooth business. - - .

Feature Editor No matter what you make of the subject matter, the surrealistic fantasies of Dali, Tanguy and Magrite on the first floor are nothing short of arousing with their nightmarish images of dissected bodies, black spheres hovering in a night sky, and garish faces. Even more enticing at the Albright Knox Art Gallery are the bright, primary hued canvases of the constructivists leading to the glaring, yet simplistic “Pop” art of Warhol, Lichtenstein and Rosenquist. There’s a new brass sculpture of a water filled beaker that appears conspicuously on e d i m e nsional. Flashing billboard images of an Oxydol box, a ballerina’s legs, meat balls, and others lend a sense of the transience of a pop oriented - locietv There is more modern art on the second floor. At the top of the stairs is the abstract expressionism of Franz Kline, William DeKooning and Frank Stella. Kline’s “Requiem,” a massive black and gray vortex, looms ominously next to DeKooning’s chaotic portrait of a woman, a frenzy of slashing green, red and yellow strokes.

It has, in fact, the second most extensive collection of modern art in the country, second only to the Museum of Modern Art in New York, according to director Serena Rattazzi. “When the museum was started in 1862, the directors decided to concentrate on contemporary art. By choice and necessity then, our focus has always been to collect modern a aforementioned titles art.” The collection is actually larger than space permits, so works are often rotated. According to Rattazzi, the museum’s board of directors meets every month or two to decide on new acquisitions. Money for acquisitions comes from endowments, local donors, and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. Because of its reknowned status, the museum is able to attract major exhibitions regularly. There were 13 last year, including the Armand Hammer collection of world masterpieces and the exhibition of American Art of the Seventies arranged by Albright Knox curator Linda Cathcart. Planned exhibits include a collection of Tibetian art, a showing of Constructivist paintings and a retrospective of Expanding horizons Many exhibitions are arranged major museums across the country while others, like the American Art of the Seventies, are compiled by Albright Knox by CONTEMPORARY CUTS for contemporary people x 1525 Millersport Highway Amherst, N.Y. (In the Amherst 25% Off Manor Apts.) Henna S Perms 632-8549 The Albright Knox Art Gallery illuminated at night Offers second most extensive modern art collection in U.S. curators. In either case, arranging the works requires a tremendous of effort. Cathcart conducted extensive research in libraries and other galleries before she even began to arrange the Seventies collection. In this case some of the works were arranged thematically while others were put together merely by aesthetic merit. Said Rattazzi, “An exhibition may be arranged chronologically, thematically, or just by what looks good; it's a amount whole science. Our curators are given a lot of freedom to do what they want The subjectivity of curator in presenting a collection of- artwork is clearly evident It’s amazing said Rata/.zi, “when you see the same the see how different the works look in a different arrangement Don’t get it Major exhibitions generally draw large numbers of people but attendance has been fairly constant throughout the past few years, hovering between 250-270,000 yearly. Said Ratlazzi, “There seems to be an interest in art in Buffalo, but we’d like to see a lot more. We’re trying to reach a wider audience, not just our regular patrons.” To reach that audience, the museum offers lectures and films on art history, art classes, and periodic exhibitions of works by local artists. In addition, a community outreach program organized in 1964 to bring free art Lady of laad entitled 'Night' by Aristide Maillol Alone among the dear, coo / columns schools and joined with UB’s Art Department to provide services to a wider range of art enthusiasts. Said Ratazzi, instruction to community centers, “Walking through the halls, you hear a lot of cliches like, ‘I don’t understand what’s on the wall.’ That’s why we’re trying to educate the public.” Now is the time to order your aps & Gowns Co-**** March 15th 10 am RAFFLE FOR M.D.A.

E miiiwo OPENING LINES: Over the Usl couple of decades we've heard lime and lime again that our major urban areas are on the decline. The statistics on the middle class flight to suburbia, the shaky state of city finances and the economic plight of the lower class and minorities are compelling evidence of this seemingly inexorable trend. We've seen New York City, the nation's economic capital, rescued from near insolvency, the default of Cleveland, and inir cillies' depressed ghetto areas engulfed by flames and violence. Below is an incisive article by T.D. Allman, a contributing editor to Harper's and East Coast editor of Pacific News Service. Writing about Cleveland, Allman takes a view in sharp contrast to most recent press coverage. The city’s controversial mayor, Dennis Kucinich, a is not a bumbling political buffoon, he says, but rather battler against the large corporate interests that have a stranglehold over Cleveland. He has doggedly refused to dissolve the financially troubled Municipal fighting Corporation in the face of overwhelming pressure from businessmen and politicians. He has also declined to grant special favors and tax exemptions to large hanks and through companies that have contributed to urban decay their redlining and lending practices. Allman insists that Cleveland is no hasketcase. Rather, other urban areas, like Cleveland s sister city across the lake, Buffalo, might have a lot to learn from her example. Cleveland demonstrates that aggressive political leadership Cleveland mayor confronts a weekly supplement can bring about a change from the status-quo an> as usual. this week.

A contributing editor to Harper’s, T.D. Allman is East Coast editor of Pacific News Service. These were on Cleveland reports supported by a grant from the Fund for Investigative Journalism by T.D. Allman CLEVELAND question isn't whether cities will be ‘saved observed back during the urban crisis, when cities were supposed promising future “The real question is who cities be saved for: the big will corporations and the affluent, or for the poor, the jobless, the people who always seem to be shortchanged by our society. Are cities collections of skyscrapers, or groups of human beings?” Though he was referring to another city, this all along has been the question behind the political tumult and fiscal crisis in Cleveland. Recently this city’s voters gave a resounding answer. They opted for neighborhood power over corporate power, for the kind of city government that aggressively fights for those who elect it, rather than just mediating among special interests. nearly two-to-one, By Cleveland voters bucked the Proposition 13 syndrome, and increased 'by 50 per cent the payroll tax they and suburban commuters must pay. By an even larger margin, they refused to sell the publicly-owned Municipal Electric Lighting System (MUNY) which, Mayor Dennis Kucinich charged, was the price Cleveland’s powerful and interlocking banking community was demanding to help put the city’s troubled, but far from hopeless, finances in order. The wonder was not that Cleveland voted as it did. For by “1 don’t see the mayor’s job as mediating between conflicting interests,” proclaimed Cleveland Mayor Dennis Kucinich before his recent Victory in the city’s double referendum. “My job is to Kucinich: a refusal to compromise on issues take sides." The assumption was that by choosing confrontation over Kucinich was violating the first law of political survival and that his own career would be the price he paid. In fact, evidence is mounting in Cleveland that Kucinich’s tactics may be as much dictated by astute political judgment as by his own temperamental proclivities. All recent Cleveland mayors except Kucinich have attempted to balance the competing interests of those who elected them with the interests of the Cleveland corporate elite and been destroyed in the process. Carl Stokes tried both to satisfy business interests and to get Cleveland voters to approve a tax increase. In the end he was forced to abandon his political career and exile himself to New York as a television commentator. Kucinich’s Repubfican predecessor, Ralph J. Perk, spent three two-year terms playing ethnic politics while selling off city assets before in an attempt to stave off bankruptcy. It was Perk Kucinich took office who both sued CE1 for anti-trust violations — — — htics taxes. own their raising Clevelanders not only voted to keep vital city services and to stave off bankruptcy, but to have affluent suburbanites bear most of the cost. Nearly 70 per cent of the new revenues will come from commuters who earn their living in Cleveland but live outside the city. The decision to keep MUNY in was Clevelanders’ many Though the company’s machinery is decrepit and serves only 20 per cent of the city’s residents and does not even generate its own power, it is a near useful check on the monopoly of the privately-owned, immensely profitable Cleveland Flectnc Illuminating Company (CEI) which wanted to buy It. Though CEI already has been by federal judged guilty regulatory agencies of trying to MUNY through destroy discriminatory power charges and unfair competition, had the voters decided to sell MUNY the city would have been forced to drop interest its $325 million anti-trust suit against the giant utility. The wonder, instead, was that Cleveland voters in the end were able to make an intelligent choice on the issues in a city that for more than a year has been savaged by a clash of personalities, and treated as some sort of doomed inner city wasteland, rather than healthy and basically the important experiment in urban policy that it has become. Neither clown nor punk The two basic misapprehensions about Cleveland have been, first, that Cleveland is a city in the midst of a dire economic crisis and, second, that the key issue for Clevelanders is not how and for whom their city will be run, but the extraordinary personality of its mayor, 32-year-old Dennis Kucinich. The truth, however, is that Cleveland is no economic basketcase, but the center of one of the regional strongest economies in America. And Kucinich, for all his periodic —continued on page 14^— to please the voters, and agreed to sell off the city-owned utility, to placate the chairman of the board. The latest victim of Cleveland politics as usual may be Kucinich’s archrival, the black City Council President, George Forbes. Fervently espousing cooperation on the banks’ terms, Forbes led the campaign to recall Kucinich, and also the recent campaign to sell MUNY, the city-owned utility, to private interests. Observed Thomas Vail, publisher of the Cleveland Plain Dealer: “In the back rooms and the board rooms, people say, “George is OK.” But what do Forbes’ constituents think? Political analysts agree that even though Forbes attempted to maximize the black vote in the recall election by holding it on a Sunday, it was black absenteeism that helped the mayor stay in office last summer. In the recent election, the two-to-one majorities rolled up for the positions Kucinich supported were so massive they indicate not only that Forbes’ alliance with the corporations has eroded his own power base, but that the white ethnic mayor’s populist appeal struck a chord in Cleveland’s black neighborhoods too. -T.D. Allman _ �i Northern Ireland struggles to hang on in spite of civil war Analysis by McDonough A little bit of heaven fell from out the sky one Jay, and it nestled on the ocean in a spot so far away. And when the angels found it, sure it looked so sweet and fair, they said suppose we leave it for it looks so peaceful there. So they sprinkled it with stardust just to make the shamrocks grow; t is the only place you ’ll find them, no matter where you go. Then they dotted it with silver to make its lakes so grand. And when they had it finished sure they called it Ireland. So go the lyrics of an old Irish-American folksong. But the “little bit of heaven isn’t all stardust and shamrocks, for Ireland is in the midst of a war; a religious, political and civil war, pitting Protestants against Catholics. For the most part the violence is confined to Northern Ireland, or the province of Ulster as it is known. To the south lies the Republic of Ireland, an independent nation since 1921. To the east, across the Irish Sea, looms Great Britain, a nation to which Ulster is legally subordinate. Since Augusl 1969. British troops have been stationed in Ulster to smother sparks ignited by the friction between seemingly irreconcilable rights, * Catholics in Northern Ireland had and generally still have poorer jobs and housing than the Protestant majority. Neighborhoods were traditionally segregated, with Catholic neighborhoods typically more run down than Protestant ones. In October 1968,protestors were brutally clubbed down by police during a march in the city cf Londonderry. Londonderry holds historical and emotional attachment for many Irish Protestants. The city was under seigh by the Catholic armies of the deposed King of England, James II, in 1689. The citizens managed to repel the attackers until the new King, William of Orange, arrived to defeat them; thus insipiring the association of the color orange with Protestants and the traditional Irish green with Catholics. In August 1969, during a Protestant celebration, commemorating the 280th anniversary of the Londonderry battle, rock throwing between religious antagonists turned into a full blown confrontation which spread throughout Ulster into Belfast. In the aftermath eight people were left dead in the streets and the British sent in troops. In Ulster, a province where Protestants outnumber Catholics by two to one, religion goes hand in hand with politics. The two are so closely related that, according to an old joke, even an atheist considers himself a “Protestant atheist” or a “Catholic atheist.” The bulk of Northern Ireland Protestants are Unionists, favoring perpetual union with Great Britain. The Catholics on the other hand, seek a united Ireland and push for Ulster's reunion with the Republic of Ireland. - — Easter rising All of Ireland was Roman Catholic until Britain’s King Henry the VIII renounced the authority of the Pope and established the Church of England. Henry, fearful of losing ground in a devout Catholic Ireland, established a Protestant colony in the northern province of Ulster. Unsuccessful rebel uprisings ignited over tire centuries, culminating in the bloody “Easter Rising” of 1916. In the Easter Rising, febels seized buildings throughout Dublin demanding Irish “home rule.” The British quickly suppressed the revolution and executed the rebel leaders. The executions fostered such animosity between Catholics in tire south and Protestant loyalists in the north that the British finally partitioned Ireland in 1920. The south ended up as an independent autonomous nation while the north remained under the tutelage of England. Many rebels fought the partition of Ireland, vowing not to surrender until the 26 counties of the Republic of Ireland and Ulster’s six counties were one again. The Irish Republican Army (IRA) engaged in sporadic guerilla campaigns in the North through the 1960’s. With the outbreak of the Troubles in 1969, the IRA stepped up its formerly covert operations in Ulster to become a leading paramilitary force, demanding the withdrawal of British troops. When the British first intervened in Ulster, the Catholics had hopes that they would now be protected from the numerically stronger Protestants. But, in the face of intensifying violence, Britain in 1971, invoked the Special Powers Act allowing authorities to imprison suspected terrorists without trial. This policy of internment, which was mildly successful in suppressing violent outbreaks in the early 1960’s, was in the end a dreadful failure. < Blanket men The injustice of internment provided a rallying point for Catholics, spawning emotional protest songs like “The Men Behind the Wire” one of whose lyrics goes: “But every man will stand behind the men behind the wire.” The provincial IRA grew in strength, aided partially by U.S. dollars from romantic Irish-Catholic Americans. In 1976, an Irish prisoner at Long Kesh refused to wear the uniform provided by his British jailers. Over 300 blanket clad prisoners joined in protest over the refusal of the British to accord them the status of political prisoners. Operating from an office in the Bronx in New York City* the Republican Sinn Fien distributed pamphlets describing the plight of the “Blanket Man,” requesting American support. Britain appears to be reconciled to an eventual retreat from Northern Ireland, and in 1973 devised a “power-sharing” government in Ulster, designed to give each side a voice in the governing ofUlster by insuring that the executive had representatives drawn from each community rather than having exclusively Protestant members. In protest, the Protestant Ulster Workers Council launched a fourteen-day general strike. The strike proved crippling and forced the British to call for new general elections. As much as the Catholics would like to see the British out of Northern Ireland, some have expressed fears of a Protestant backlash should the British withdraw. As long as religious-political differences remain irreconcilable, the violence will continue to flare in Northern Ireland. A tragic testimony to the terrible violence is reflected in the plight of the children of Northern Ireland. Bomb explosions are indiscriminate as to their children are the victims as often as adults. From an early age, targets Irish boys bear arms, and are taught to continue the war in Ulster. — forces. In that time, approximately 300 British soldiers and well over 1000 civilians have died in the “Troubles.” Thousands have been injured in the almost commonplace shootings and bombings in Northern Ireland over the past ten years. Such sporadic violence has become so routine that it is not often publicized outside the United Kingdom. J. Lack of publicity has cloaked the turmoil in Ireland over the last couple of years. Although the violence has abated recently, frequent attacks by terrorist and paramilitary groups continue to plague British efforts to keep order in the province. Only when the violence flares beyond the borders and explodes in British pubs and shops or in the streets and cars of Dublin does the world seem to take notice. V % Orange vs. green ' The current Troubles began during the late 1960’s when Catholic activism took a new turn in mass peaceful demonstrations which paralleled those in the United States at that time. In the summer of 1968, protest marches sought not the traditional Catholic goal union with the strongly Catholic Republic of Ireland to the south but civil ' * __ - - — PLEASE NOTE Our New Location * *** .Orlando,Florida during the, break April 7 14th for only *275.00 Last Chance . . * . - Includes: Quad rooms at Sheraton Air flight / Tickets to Disney World Wet’n Wild, Daytona and Sea World INTERESTED?

Instead, as his victories in three hotly-congested elections in 15 months have proved, he is one of the most effective big city politicians in America today. To understand both (the enmities and loyalties Kucinich arouses, it is necessary to leave Cleveland’s booming downtown to the and travel out neighborhoods of working class, ethnic Cleveland. It is also necessary to leave behind the conventional media images and confront what matters most to Cleveland’s voters, the issues. This is not a world of left-wing flower children, but of factory workers with American decals on their cars, of middle-aged women with thin cloth coats turned up against the cold who, before they switched their loyalties to Kucinich, three times elected the only Republican mayor of a big American city. as Sturdy neighborhood Not long ago the image of cities like Cleveland was of decay, white flight and abandonment. image Today post-industrial “gentrification,” rediscovery by young, the professional whites of those beautiful inner city brownstones. But this Cleveland is still a land of foremen and overtime and life on the assembly line, which the white working class never fled. neighborhoods of These are sturdy clapboard houses that have grown quaint; of bookstores that don’t sell art books but sports magazines printed j in Slavic languages. Here Kucinich is not a bizarre apparition on the evening news, but a neighborhood force eveyone calls by --continued from his first name They are people who fervently believe in an America that no longer believes .in them, for whom standing Jo line, at the polling even on a raw February booth — is a duty. When the presidents anil chairmen of the big Cleveland corporations call Kucinich a day - “rabble rouser,” as several of them did in inteiviews before the recent election, this is the rabble to which they refer. Yet in conversations in places with names like Settler’s Tavern, or in store front shop? selling a dozen kinds of homemade stiudel, one hears questions for which the corporate spokesmen ard massive bureaucracies have no answers. Political laboratory Why are ghetto youth bussed miles across town into their but not into suburbs like Shaker Heights thft are closer? If MUNY is so worthless, they ask, why is CE1 which never ceases to increase both their electricity bills and its own profits so eager to put it out of business? If the city is in why are the such dire fiscal strai banks so hostile to Kucinich just because he tried to deny them tax abatements for multi-million dollar skyscrapers built on the most desirable land in the city? In one of those neighborhood restaurants where Kucinich is a neighborhoods, - - '' familiar face, an elderly waitress comes up to shake his hand. Outside in the cold, a group of workmen wave to him. At an intersection, three young blacks roll down the windows in their car, even though it is ten degrees. “Hiya, Mayor,” they shout. Here Kucinich is not the enfant terrible he seems on TV, or at the Union Club. In his three-piece suit he is the local boy made good. page 12- In an address to the National Press Club last October that was in much better received Washington than it was 4 in downtown Cleveland, KuciniCIT “a national called Cleveland political laboratory, putting to the significant political a test question, ‘Can a city government, based on the support of the poor working people, increase and services, improve the. standard of living and the quality of life, and survive politically without the support of big business and even with active opposition?’ significant about What is Cleveland is how consistently Kucinich has tested that question by fighting out the issues on their own merits and letting the electorate decide. Though the proposed sale of ,MUNY was the biggest issue, Kucinich’s whole term as mayor has been the history of a political leader with an almost maddening conviction that he must not ” compromise. Business as usual Typical was the request for a $14 million tax abatement for the $60 million, 35-story new downtown in headquarters Cleveland of the National City Bank one of the leading — institutions that later precipitated Cleveland’s default. The b;nk, with $2.9 billion in assets, is the most profitable in the nation, in terms of earnings. In every other big city in America the municipal government eager to ensure the good will of such a powerful corporation would have instantly granted the abatement. Kucinich challenged the entire concept. At a time when the city faced fiscal problems, he asked, why should it lower taxes for one of the richest corporations in the UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORES — — world?

Since then the list of corporations Kucinich has refused to give favored treatment reads like the Fortune 500. He also has fired hundreds of incompetent or corrupt city bureaucrats. The result is that Cleveland, almost alone among American cities, has a city government which not only is against “business as usual,” but which actively impedes it. “They say I’m a clown,” Kucinich observed, before his success in the latest voting. “Let’s face it, this city was ruled by clowns for years. They’re out to get me because so long as I’m mayor. City Hall won’t be a yes-man for corporate interests.” While Kucinich and his closest aides no doubt are often personally acerbic, it is clear that any mayor taking his stantj on the have incurred the implacable enmity of the vested issues would interests Kucinich has challenged. Because of Kucinich, for example, CEI still has an anti-trust suit, amounting to more than one-third of a billion dollars, pending against it. Every other major politician in the city wanted both to drop the suit and let out the competition. CEI buy Almost all observers in Cleveland agreed on two things before the recent voting. The first Was that the city’s fiscal crisis is not of Kucinich’s making, but the inheritance of predecessors who counted on “business as usual” to save the city from default. The second agreement was that by defying the banks, Kucinich was needlessly not only risking bankruptcy for the city but committing political The truth is that with far better media images. Kiicinich himself has prevailed yet again at the polls. In the tiadition of Kucinich’s populist predecessor at the turn of the Century, Tom L. who once wrote, “1 Johnson believe in municipal ownership of all public service monopolies . . . because if-you do not own them they will in time own you” Cleveland, following the refusal to sell the city-owned utility, now the perhaps only city has government in America that acts — - as an effective countervailing force to special interests. And in the era of Prop 13 fever and the “taxpayers’ Kucinich evidently has them down at the polls for years. “Who governs? That’s been the question ever since Kucinich took observes office,” Roido Bartimole, a widely respected local journalist, who produces an letter. news independent “Corporate executives who make a big profit here, but live in the suburbs? Or the people of Cleveland?” For the third time. in little more than a year, Cleveland’s voters have spoken. Whether the city remains mired in political confrontation and fiscal crisis now depends less on the personal peculiarities of Kucinich than on whether big business and big government will be willing to heed the voices of those in inner cities who so often subsidize, and so seldom share, the benefits of their wealth and power. at 3 Stores :tore %.■» revolt,” dispelled enough cynicism among Cleveland voters to have them approve a major tax increase, after turning Order Your College Ring * politics, Kucinich-style. has not led to the disasters so often (predicted, but to some accomplishments that have eluded less acerbic politicians RING DAYS Bald -Ellicott -S suicide himself uire �by Tom Batt a Ukrainian's backyard, well, he ultimately thinks that’s a pretty good idea better than a trip to the Gulag.

Granted, western capitalism is in some distress, but generally it has fared better in its economics than the Soviets have in their politics. Over there, contrary to the notion of “the people" owning much of anything, production means are owned and decisions are made at the top. Then they are carried out, as right or as wrong as they may be. This system begs to fail for one simple reason: lack of dissent. It is a deadly flaw in any system. Leaders who claim to have a monopoly on truth are asking to go under. Not only is there no dissent within the party, there is none flowing in from the grassroots, where it is the most necessary. It does not flow in because it is discouraged before it starts and crushed if and when it does. Not only does this create massive diffection among the people, it creates a system where, if the party chooses to extinguish a fire using gasoline, no one is allowed to tell them they need water. A society without dissent is like an arm without nerves: though operable, it lacks the sense of pain which keeps it from danger. The pricks and burns of logical, progressive dissent are absent, and in time the society dies. It must die, because, lacking the direction populism affords it, the law of averages allows it only so many mistakes. As an example, let us take nuclear energy. The Soviets are proceeding full-throttle with fission power. They not think of the consequences we now face with our own nuclear program, because they have no one to answer to. If they choose to bury nuclear wastes in safest possible, because, who is there to argue with the engineer? And who is able to protest the thousands of deaths after a nuclear accident? —* Infectuous and indelible But the question arises: If dissent is so decisive a factor, what of the 20 years of nuclear power and its deadly waste in this country? Here lies one of the major faults of capitalism: the ability of very potent economic forces to influence public opinion and muffle criticism. But, with the First Amendment and its concommitant privileges, allowing anyone to say anything at any time, the truth will always emerge. It will take time, it may be slow in gathering the momentum of consensus but the truth is there for the taking, ken hold in this ninlry concerning nuclear fission: e g., three years ago, there were over 80 reactors on order; this year, two were sold, those doubtful So, the nuclear industry and all of its massive, sometimes brutalizing economic power, is left stunned and bleeding by one simple notion free thought. And once an idea catches on in this country, it can be infectious and indelible. So we suffer the concentration of economic power (countered by our ability to decry it and force legislation against it) as the price paid for free thought, speech and assembly; the businessman is free to collect wealth and power, within the bounds of the law, just as we are free to protest his collection. This is not to say that limited forms of socialism (in housing, health, energy, utilities) are not desirable. The important point is that the First Amendment is there to assure us the right to petition the government for such things. Into the fire The communist would say that vast economic power would work to stifle threats to its size and power. Indeed it would. Indeed it does. But usually truth wins out over fiction, and try as they may, businessmen cannot make a black dog white. It is a bitter struggle sometimes lethal but the good of society usually wins out over selfish interest. And what of cases where power defeats public good? Two old maxims hold here; people in a democracy possess the government they deserve, and eternal vigilance is the price we pay for liberty. That is, when 63 percent of the people fail to take advantage of their franchise to vote, as happened in the last election, democracy begins to falter pressure groups gain ground, scoundrels succeed scholars, faulty logic wins the day. But who is to blame? If we do not employ our Constitutional rights, if we fail in the democratic vigil, if the nation grows decrepit and corrupt from apathy and its concommitant ills, we have no one to blame but ourselves. Our tools are all in the Constitution probably the most important document the world has ever seen and if we do not use them, if we fail to see how vastly superior our politics are to those of the Soviets, we will have shoved our once-tingling arm, now deadened from lack of exercise, straight into the fire. — — — — - Spy activities in Clarence? by Harvey Shapiro Afterwards, Congressman Jack Kemp (R-38th District) met with CIA officials to determine what years the nation’s has been focused on the office was used for.

Peterson offered the hypothetical case of a businessman who travels to a “country denied” a nation like the USSR, “The CIA tells him to look for anything vital to the security of the United States and when he returns, if he wants to volunteer any information, he knows where to contact us.” Peterson said the offices are secret in order to dissuade crank phone calls which hamper the collection operation. “When offices have been made public we have found there have been a lot of crank phone calls and visa which disrupt the operation these offices,” he said.

But to the players, it is. They take their roundball sseriously even though it may not be varsity. The team that seems to be most solemnly concerned with its task (namely winning) just might be the “B" league’s No Names, the hoop loop’s defending champions. They demonstrated their talents one more time Sunday at Clark Hall, when they handily defeated the Authentic Animal House Gang, 50-40, capturing their 23rd consecutive win (stretching to lastyear) and a spot in the finals against Chuck Wagon. Chuck Wagon easily knocked off Criminally Inclined to share the final game. Not even the brilliant performance of the Gang’s John Gilbert, who pumped in 19 points, could deter the Noes’ Jay Fieldstein (1 I tallies) and Rick Steele, who scored 10 and gobbled up innumerable defensive rebounds from his center position. Glen Goller, a co-captain on the victorious squad, praised his two teammates. “We were led by Jay’s ball control, phenomenal passing and outside shooting. And of course, Rick’s intimidation inside,” stated Goller. “We were getting more than one shot,’’ explained Fieldstein after the semifinal triumph that upped the Noes’ season record to 15-0. “They were giving us the offensive rebound.” Certainly one player who couldn’t take the blame for the Gang’s failure was Gilbert, whose efforts to keep his team close literally forced the AAHG into a one-man show. “He’s easily the best big man we’ve played against this year,” lauded the Names’ Mark Allen, the other co-captain. “If he was on our team we would be unbeatable.” After 23 straight games without a loss, it is hard to imagine how much more unbeatable the Nb — Names would become. The confidence on this team is already mountain-high, as reflected by Howie Grossman’s challenge to Chuck Wagon, “We are the best by far. We’ll repeat as the champs this year.” Defensive shift If their play on Sunday was any indication, he may be right.Although the Noes had lost an early three point edge, and were trailing by five (20-15) near the end of the first half, a change in strategy proved remedial. “We came out with a 2-3 zone,” recounted Allen. “But it didn’t work, so we went to the rnan-to-man defense The improved defensive setup designed to pressure the opponent’s shooting guards combined with a sharp decrease in turnovers and enabled the Names to regain their poise and score the last five points of the first 20 minutes. Thus at the intermission the teams were deadlocked at 20. In the second half it was Animal House’s turn to turn the ball over, and the experienced Noes’ players cashed in on the opportunity by .taking a 35-27 advantage half-way through. Even when they kept the ball long enough to shoot, the House was off-target, and with Steele under the boards to deny a second shot, catch-up soon looked unlikely. The closest the Gang came was 35-31, after Gilbert popped in two unanswered baskets; but Grossman’s pretty scoring drive with roughly six minutes left in the contest again upped the Names’ — - lead to six, For the remainder of the contest th eNo Names simply concentrated on taking smart shots and holding the ball away from the Gang’s desperate arm sweeps. The Animal House Gang, already frustrated, sealed its impending doom by constantly fouling the Noes’ taller players. Gift foul shots put the final stab in the Gang’s back, allowing the winners to not only protect but also increase their lead down the stretch. —OlVincenzo CHAMPS; Led by Mike Mosley and Terry Bilbert (44, shown shooting), the fast-breaking Flying Circus popped in bucket after bucket to trounce the Phenol-Barbs and sweep the "A" League Intramural Champiorahip. Mosley's magic moves earned him team high scoring honors, 28 points, while the rugged Gilbert hit for 20. After moving ahead at half-time, 43-35, Mosley and company engaged in a scoring barrage that eventually resulted in an insurmountable 27 point lead. A late ditch effort by Phenol-Barbs' unstoppable Glen Golubow who led both teams with 34 points, made the final tally respectable, 92-84. Phenol-Barb Herb Newton also had his night in the scoring column, swishing the nets for 25 points. However, it was balance that accomplished the task for the Circus. Aside from the offensive exploits of Mosley and Gilbert, all-around court consciousness of the Circus' Avery Wilson and Shelton Roseboro helped the cause they each finished with 15 points. - Seniors and Grad The Federal Government requires all students with Federal Loans (HPL, NDSL, NL) who cease attending this University or who drop below one half time status (six hours) to complete an exit interview and repayment agreement.

White House press secretary Jody Powell acknowledged the paraquat known as Operation Condor -i was discussed. The program discussion, he said, centered on new kinds of “markers” for paraquat-treated marijuana that might find its way into the U.S. The herbicide’s health and environmental effects were not included in the bargaining.

No. 69 / SUNY aLBuffalo by Joe Simon Spectrum Staff Writer Hundreds of loud, angry students Jammed Haas Lounge Thursday night at an emotional open forum designed to gather student input on the inclusion of controversial abortion coverqge in next year’s mandatory Student Health Insurance Policy. The policy which 'cost S73.50 this year, is sponsored by Sub Board I, . ‘ . lnc.: ■ ■ The meeting served 'as a showdown between the UB Rights of Conscience Group and the Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse (CARASA). The two groups have been the main voices in the furious debate surrounding Sub Board’s inclusion of abortion coverage which accounts for approximately $1 of the $73.50 fee. •-After being criticized for forming this year’s policy the first to include mandatory abortion coverage over the summer and without student input. Sub Board, held the ope(i ' - - — / 12 March 1979 forum in hopes of ensuring that next year’s policy-is reflective of student desires. Although all aspects of the insurance coverage were open for. discussion, the abortion clause issue dominated the hearing, was preceded by an hour longCARASA rally in Center Lounge complete with speakers, songs and chants. The first speaker, from the UB Rights of Conscience Group Tori Ann Kolinski, proclaimed, “Tire mandatory payment for abortion coverage is in direct violation of student’s right of conscience.” She declared her group was neither pro-life nor pro-choice, but devoted solely to the matter of conscience. Throughout her 15 minute statement. Kolinski syas -heckled and jeered by the decidedly pro-abortion coverage audience. Sub Board Chairman Jane Baum continually asked the crowd to be polite, and at one point threatened to end the meeting if all speakers were not treated courteously. Kolinski proposed that next year’s policy include an optional * abortion provision whereby any conscientious objector could “opt-out” of the plan yet recieve all other benefits. She mentioned that a similar system is in operation at Harvard University. Kolinski maintained that C A RASA is “unwilling to acknowledge that a right Of conscience is dl stake.” She also pointed out that alternative insurance plans are “at least two to four times as expensive” as the Sub Board policy, and that “every student has the right to participate in a low-cost University plan.” CARASA’s first spokeswoman, Allison Hicks, was greeted with wild cheering and applause from the pro-coverage supporters. Hicks immediately attacked the option proposals claiming, “It’s totally irresponsible to the needs of women on this campus.” Pausing several times for applause, Hicks maintained that a woman “can’t predict months in advance if she’ll get pregnant, and it’s unfair to make her choose for, or against, abortion coverage when she’s not —continued on page —Dl Vincenzo 2— Cancer hazards found at Bethlehem Steel by Robbie Cohen Bethlehem is required to either pay the penalties or contest the charges within fifteen working days. National Editor Copyright 1979. The Spectrum Bethlehem Steel Corporation’s Lackawanna plant has been'slapped with $22,000 in penalties, for allegedly exceeding federal standards for cancer causing coke oven emissions. The Spectrum learned Thursday. The coke oven fumes, liberated during an integral process in the manufacture of steel, contain a chemical toxin benzo-pyrenne a substance that in epidemjplogical Studies has,been proven a — potent carcinogen. Exposure to the noxious coke oven fumes has been found to -escalate the incidence of cancer in steel workers by three to seven times. Presently, hundreds of workers are employed in coke oven work at Bethlehem Steel. Thus far, the health violations have gone unreported in the Buffalo news media. A March 1 notification issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), a division of the U. Sr- Department of Labor, cited various health and safety violations. One charged Bethlehem with exceeding the federal standards for coal tar pitch or benzo-pyrene the by standard is 150 micrograms pet cubic meter two to ten times over an eight hour period. Other charges indicated that existing air filtration devices in the plant wqrre totally inadequate in removing the noxious gasses from the workplace. In all, 22 violations each carrying a fine of $1000 were detailed by OSHA. The violations were discovered during a general inspection tour of the plant conducted bf_OSHA technicians from July 1978 to February 1979. The federal coal tar pitch standards have been in effect for only two years. • — - • Special report on President Ketter’s <■ Rederal law also mandates that the violations be corrected within a maximum of three working days, notwithstanding a contest plea. A Bethlehem Steel management assistant, Jerry Bogats, had no comment Friday when reached for reaction by The Spectrum. ' If Bethlehem 6hboses to' appeal the penalties, the case could drag out in the courts for two years or more indicated David Bernard, OSHA area director. A.F. Barbiery, Sub-director of the United Steel Workers’ Union Lackawanna office pointed out that Bethlehem invariably appeals litigation cases like this one. Although representatives of the United Steel Worker’s office were uninformed of the OSHA citations, they have been aware for-some time of the hazardous conditions in and around the coke ovens. Barbiery, while -admitting that Bethlehem has made some efforts at safeguarding its employees health, asserted that they should and can do much more, especially in the light of overwhelming medical evidence that shows an alarming incidence of cancer among coke oven workers.” Barbiery labeled as “invalid” the management contention that the existing technology is not up to meeting the federal “ safety standards. One Bethlehem coke oven worker who the problem on requested anonymity, laid antiquated equipment and a lack of vigilence on the part of management. “The equipment is old and costs too much money to fix up, like anyone else they want to get away as cheaply as possible,” he said. Bethlehem Steel, feeling the effects of the nationwide steel slump, has been cutting back operations and laying off workers in recent years. “Since the company cut future at UB—P. 4-5 On / back the union is not powerful as it used to be. They can’t do as much anymore about safety the company has the upperhand,” the steelworker insisted. — Clothing covered by dust OSHA area director David Bernard indicated that workplace conditions are such that even a brief exposure tcf the coke"oven area would turn the inside of one’s pockets black. The anonymous steelworker verified that one’s clothing gets completely covered by dust in the coke oven operation, a process that subjects coal to extremely high temperatures, converting it into an effective melting agent, coke. The coke is then loaded into blast furnaces that convert iron ore into the completed product, steel. The Lackawanna plant, with subsequent additions, has been in operation since the earlier part of the century and was at one time the second largest steel factory in the nation. Workersare protected from the prodigious amount of emissions liberated from the oven process by respirators and coveralls. However, the OSHA citation charges that “clean-change rooms were not provided, equipped with storage facilities for street clothes and separate storage facilities for protective clothing and equipment.” Moreover, the OSHA document indicates that the employer, Bethlehem Steel, did not assure that employees working in the regulated area vyash their hands and faces prior to. eating. The unnamed steel worker confirmed that workers’ street clothes get extremely dirty in the lockers provided for them by Bethlehem. Russell Sciandra, the Director of Cancer Information at Roswell Park Memorial Institute related that overall, coke oven workers stand a two and a half times greater chance of developing cancer as dope trail through Quebec-P. 9 —continued on page 12— / Hughes interview, part ll~P. 1 7 �M i SHOWDOWN AT HAAS LOUNGE: Thursday night's having to solicit student input on next year's mandatory Student Health Insurance policy reached a fevered pitch es the largely pro-choice crowd and members of CARASA heckled the Rights of Conscience contingent. The crowd's sentiments seemed to be overwhelmingly in fevor of abortion coverage inclusion, but the final decision will probebly not be rssched by insurance sponsor Sub Boerd I until sometime next month. —Floss put their time and money into Abortion. .T pregnant and can’t tram pagt 1— spokeswoman, Linda Sudano, attacked the Rights of Conscience Group, asserting that they are an anti-abortion group binding behind a false label. She stated that if they were truly devoted to rights of conscience, then they would be involved in other moral issues such as nuclear proliferation and financial dealings with South Africa not just abortion. Sudano asked, “Why don’t they fully understand the question.” False labels Hicks suggested that with an option plan, many parents might receive notice that their daughter “opted-in”, and thus the option could effectively serve as a deterrent for women who really want the coverage.. Another CARASA — making sure that women have adequate birth control and have it readily available?” Michelle Hutchinson, representing Third World women on campus, outlined the years of sterilization abuse that Third World and minority women have been subjected to and claimed they would not be able to afford an abortion if it were not included in their insurance policy. “If you take this abortion coverage away from us,” she said, “we will be forced to return to the back street abortionist where so many have lost their lives.” Prenatal care After a short recess, 35 individuals addressed Sub Board, almost all of whom called for abortion coverage to be included in next year’s policy. Several speakers cited individual problems with this year’s policy which Baum said she would check'into. A few suggested that Sub Board also, include pre-natal care as well as maternity coverage jn the policy. Concerning the near future. Co-chairperson of the Rights of Conscience Group Stephen Krason said his organization plans to continue its presentations to the campus community, and possibly to the University Council. Baum was satisfied with the student response and forum, noting, “A few people brought up things which I wasn’t aware of and which we’ll look into." She said it is possible, but unlikely, that Sub Board will make a decision on the inclusion of abortion coverage by its next meeting on March 22. Senate invalidates referendum, dissolves ‘The Spectrum ,;i 'C by John H.Jtein Special to The Spectrum Swinging from its heels, the Student Association (SA) Senate batted around more motions, proposals, referenda and amendments, driving hom« its point that it has final wy-on virtually all studentrelated issues. As expected, the Senate passed by 19-5-1 a resolution declaring that the current undergraduate student-wide referendum Jelling for the dissolution and restructuring of the Senate is invalid. The resolution also gives the Senate the power to investigate all referenda before they come to a vote. In what has become a standard procedure at Senate meetings, SA President Karl Schwartz vetoed the motion. The Senate invalidated the referendum because it felt that Director of Elections and Credentials (E&C) Dave Wilson who verified the more than 1200 signatures necessary to bring the amendment to a vote was not appointed by Schwartz under “due process”. Wilson was appointed to the post by Schwartz last semester, bu{ was ner final a) - - since -.. y approved by the legislative body, his appointment was invalid. Schwartz claimed that any Presidential appointment is valid until the Senate approves or disapproves it and warned that the ousting of Wilson “wori’t screw up the elections.” He said he would appoint a provisional' Director and the referendum would continue as planned. Lost “sole” authority Apparently angered by its treatment by E&C, the Senate approved a Constitutional amendment that would, strip the committee of a considerable amount of its duties, transferring powers to the Senate. The amendment would give the Senate the right to review the qualifications of all candidates and the legitimacy and “legality” of all referenda before they may come to a student-wide vote. The proposed amendment was sent to the SA Operations and Rules Committee. In a somewhat confusing move, the Senate reversed a Constitutional amendment, and then refused to allow the motion to be sent to the Student Wide Judiciary consid id. The dr matters : are routinely ’ * shall have sole authority” to amend the Constitution and the Book of Rules. The move would presumably return that “sole authority” to the Senate; although it was not entirely clear how the Senate could “reverse” a constitutional amendment. Senate Chairman Don Berey hiled that such a matter of interpretation must be sent to the SWJ but the Senate overruled him by 18-4. Schwartz, who had left the meeting in disgust, returned later to veto the action. Discussion about The Spectrum which usually i dominates debate at Senate Meetings, took a back seat Thursday to matters concerning the referendum. But the Senate did manage to override Schwartz’s veto last week of a resolution to dissolve The Spectrum and form a new, Senate run newspaper, to be called the New Student Newspaper. Now that The Spectrum has officially been “dissolved,” Senators appeared generally unresolved as they would engineer the destruction of the publication and create to how the New Student Newspaper. “Shi ilm up” Senate also passed a resolution ic Senate Oversight Committee the publish a “fact sheet” on the Senate’s recent actions. Senators generally felt that The Spectrum had been unfair to them in its coverage, and felt it was necessary to establish a “fact sheet” so that students could read their version of the Senate’s intent and actions. Bickering between Senators and the SA Executive Committee continued, manifesting itself in the Senate’s refusal to appoint SA Director of Student Affairs Scott Jiusto to a University-wide Springer Curriculum Committee. No Senator would disclose why they had voted against Jiusto, who has been intimately involved with the plans for implementation of the Springer Report for over two months. Later, when Jiusto addressed’the Senate on the effects of Springer implementation, some Senators interrupted, claiming that Jiusto was inarticulate and boring, and asked wahhat motions could be used to “shut him up.” Fighting back, a few Senators who oppose the great majority of their comrades, refused to answer roll calls, hoping that they could reduce official attendance and ensure that a quorum didn’t exist. No legislation may be passed without a quorum, which constitutes 40 percent of the Senate. After their efforts failed, the Senators “returned” to vote against motions passed by the Senate.

Pierce was referring to the Council's refusal to formally oppose SUNY's pending $150 tuition increase to the Board of Trustees. In Pierce's hands is a letter requesting monetary assistance for completion of the Amherst Campus, which he plans to mail to the Soviet Minister of Foreign Affairs. Despit claims by Student Representative Michael Pierce that a J tuition hike will lead to a decrease in enrollment at UB and hurt lower and middle income familiies, the University Council Vefused Friday to vote on a resolution recommending that the SUNY Board of Trustees oppose the increase. Following University President Robert Ketter’s assessment of a report from SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton’s office suggesting that for students whose family incomes are less than $20,000, overall costs will not increase, members of the Council failed to second the resolution proposed by Pierce. He insisted that there was still time to oppose the hike before the SUNY Board of Trustees votes April 1. Although the Executive Committee of the SUNY Board of Trustees voted on March 2 to raise tuition $150 for freshmen and sophomores next year, the increase can only be authorized by the full Board of Trustees’ vote. Ketter, elaborating on the Chancellor’s report listing the net costs of attendence for “typical’’ lower division students with a gross family income of $10,000, explained that liberalizations in Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) and Basic Education Opportunity Grants (BEOG) will allow students with family incomes of less than $20,000 to receive aid, offsetting any tuition increase. Independent students and those whose family income is greater than 520.000 or who attend on a part-time basis, will “lose”, Ketter said. Pierce, who insisted that the figures from the Chancellor were “juggled”, cited evidence from the National Commission on Post Secondary Education that a tuition hike of $100 leads to a drop in enrollment of 2.5 percent or about 4,000 SUNY students. Pierce equated raising tuition to “nailing students to the cross.” After hearing the Chancellor’s statements, other Council Members expressed their satisfaction that student financial aid would ease students over the hike. » / —continued on page 14— Massive SASU campaign hoped to avert tuition hike Although the Executive Committee of the SUNY Board of Trustees voted to increase tuition $150 for freshmen and sophomores as of Fall 1979, the Student Association of the State University (SASU) still hopes to avert the hike. A massive letter writing campaign, inspired by Speaker of the State Assembly Stanely Fink’s reaction to the boost, is the strategy being used. Last Monday, Fink pledged to support a bill injecting more money into the SUNY budget, thus eliminating the need for the increase providing that a clear majority of the Assembly sign a petition favoring the move. SASU will circulate the petition among the Assemblymen. The exact wording of the petition is as yet qndecided since Fink insisted that it include certain points \yhich he will, outline, said SASU Executive Vice President Ed Rothstein. Thus far, noted Rothstein, response appears favorable. SASU. is encouraging its representatives at each SUNY school to garner as many letters from students as possible, he said. At UB, SASU representative Don Berey and SA Senator Bob Lowry are heading the campaign. Ail this week, said Berey, booths will be open in Squire Hall’s Center Lounge, the Student Club in Ellicott, and outside the Norton Cafeteria on the Academic Spine. In addition, volunteers will be visiting students in the dorms to request letters, said Berey. Form letters are available at each booth, but students are welcome to drop off their own, commented Berey. He said all letters to the Legislature should protest the hike and urge representatives to sign the — petitions. Paper, envelopes, and postage will be provided, Lowry said, adding “It only takes five minutes to save $L50.” HINDERING THE HIKE; Students may still be able to stompy out the $150 SUNY tuition hike by informing the State Assembly of their disapproval.

Pinn said that the December 1978 report issued by that committee will “form a judgement basis for the upcomihg review committee.” She explained, “After the events of last April and May, I felt our task was to deal with Ketter realistically outside the aura of complaints and rhetoric of the past eight years.” She defended the purpose the report on of Decision-Making claiming, “We have to know hova something is funstetioning in order to assess how it should be.” 1978 committee The recommended that students strive to gain their share of power in what is a restricted decision-making atmosphere. “Many sectors of University life have input, yet, as of now, Professional staff has a say too Should* University President Robert Ketter decide to seek reappointment to his third five-year term, faculty members and professional staff would have the opportunity to express their views through their respective senates. According to guidelines established by the State University of New York (SUNY) Board of Trustees, SUNY Presidents must be evaluated after each five-year term if they seek to retain their positions. The guidelines call for the formation of a University evaluation committee composed of the Chairman of the College Council, the President of the student body, an administrator selected by the President himself, and the cEairman of the Professional Staff Senate. The Committee forwards its recommendations to SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton, with whom the final decision rests. The Faculty Senate will rely on a survey and meetings to gauge faculty sentiment. A special committee charged with suggesting mechanisms for garnering faculty input prepared a survey which is to be sent to University faculty if and when Ketter announces his decision to seek re-appointment. The survey presents over 20 statements regarding Ketter’s leadership, academic foresight, management abilities and sensitivity to the needs of his constituents. Faculty are asked to choose from a range of responses, from “strongly disagree” to “strongly Additionally, the committee recommended that professors from various academic departments and schools meet to discuss their opinions with their department’s representative senator, who will subsequently report back to the Senate. When Ketter last ran for reappointment in 1974, certain faculty groups were selected by the Senate Chairman to discuss their views. Jacob Hyman, head the committee' which -recommended the survey/meetings system, said that his combination allows for broader faculty representation his committee’s prime goal. The Professional Staff Senate, however, was not directly involved during Ketter’s last reappointment. Only with the 1977 revision in the guidelines - - when the SUNY Board of Trustees granted the Senate a position on the evaluation committee did the approximately 750 professional employees, including administrators, gain a direct voice! Professional Staff Senate Chairman, Clifford Wilson, said that the Senate has no plan of garnering professional staff input as yet, although he noted that the Senate is happy to have “a chance to have some input into what is going on in the University, especially in a high position.” “We have not yet formalized action, as has the Faculty Senate.” he - said. B. H Lack of trust The basis upon which many of the committee’s recommendations were set was a 1977 Faculty Senate Report to improve the “functioning and structure” of the administration.

The real stands on any issue are usually carefully implied by the speaker and must be just as carefully inferred by the listener. This is especially true on sensitive topics such as Presidential evaluation procedures. At the February 6 Faculty Senate meeting, University President Robert Ketter, in a rare loss of coolness and poise, insisted on a seemingly minor change in the wording of the Senate’s Presidential Evaluation Procedures committee report.

While we were certainly gratified by the enthusiastic response to Sub Board I lnc.'s request for student input; and while we have no doubt that many, many valuable contributions to the abortion coverage issue were elicited, we cannot help questioning why so much intellectual energy had to be powered through an issue of such at a University teeming with ethical and practical significance To th! Editor. Friday’s The Spectrum contained comments on both the front page (attributed to Newton Carver) that and on the Editorial page to the effect preclude not do requirements accreditation Engineering from accepting the proposed General Education requirement. This is apparently based on information provided to Professor Carver by Engineering Dean George C. Lee, and needs clarification. In his letter Dean Lee stated; “. . . the ECPD requirements for accreditation contain the following minimum values: The equivalent of one semester of mathematics (i.e., 16 hours) The equivalent of one semester of basic sciences The equivalent of one semester of humanities and social science The equivalent of ome semester of engineering design of considerably more breadth. We do not believe the public forum was a waste of time; indeed, there was much to be learned amidst the disrespectful hissing of a few who got carried away. But this is not a University that revels in the luxury of a politically-active and intellectually-fervent student body. To get that many students in one room to intelligently discuss an issue that directly affects them is an exceedingly difficult, almost impossible at this University there are indeed too task; not for a lack of issues but because there are not enough many problems that deserve debate people who care. We must, as a voice that has always urged students to take an active role in their education, question why this was the issue that aroused the passions of so many. Why not General Education? Why not the Academic Plan? Why not voting rights? Redlining? Affirmative Action? Why not any of thbse issues that seem, to us, to be crucial to a student's.University experience? And. why with all the policies and all the people that need to be challenged at this institution, was a $1 portion of a very sound insurance plan disected into minute detail, debated from dozens of perspectives and generally embraced with an ideological ardor almost never seen in this student body? Certainly not because health care is considered vitally important, not because the insurance plan is weighing heavily on students' minds; but because a well-organized, vocal minority of students challenged a once-removed infringement on their moral territory and brought a lot Electrical Engineering, The equivalent of one semester of engineering sciences. This adds up to three full years of minimum required courses. The other one year is more or less devoted to specialized technical courses at most schools.” Professor Garver and The Spectrum's Editor have apparently read that as implying that we are free to choose to devote any, or even all, of that Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, etc. (as we do here), there are requirements specifically related to each degree program. Aerospace students, for example, are required to take individual courses in such topics as Structures, Aerospace Aerospace Propulsion, Aerodynamics, and Flight Stability and Control. These requirements are in addition to the year of engineering sciences and the half year of engineering design cited above, and are met by using basic a part of that fourth year. (As Dean Lee’s letter stated we require 24 hours in the humanities and social sciences rather than the above minimum of 16 hours.) My department, at least, was criticized by the team that visited us last fall for not having enough of these specialized courses. If we had even one less then certainly have — problems fourth year to additional non-technical courses. This is not the case. The three years specified above is the basic minimum for an engineering degree. In order to have accredited degrees in specific areas, eg. we been do our accreditation would in jeopardy. It is our firm opinion that we can no more afford to increase courses in this category than we can afford to increase our non-technical content. Robert W. Springer Chairman Department oj Engineering Science, Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering — — Guest opinion Tightening the screws on undergraduates On Tuesday, March 13, the Faculty Senate may vote approval of the General Education proposals which, along with other changes in undergraduate requirements, erode a great deal of the freedom students presently have to choose their own courses. In particular, the proposed general education can be interpreted as requiring from 51 to 63 credit hours for graduation nearly one half of a student’s total undergraduate program. Departments will add courses to their majors to continue to require from 32 to 36 credit hours for the major (that’s another one quarter of the total), and in some cases are demanding another 36 credit hours of related subjects, as for instance requiring mathematics for a physics major and the like, (that’s another quarter of the program). While it may have been true that U.B. was once noted for being a university where students had a wide variety of choice, and were deemed mature enough to create for themselves a sound education with that freedom of choice, the proposals before the Faculty Senate will leave very little time available for electives. It is imperative that students appreciate the significance of these changes, this “tightening of the screws”, and make their collective voices heard loud and clear as the key decisions are being made about — of boil. We do not have complete answers for this grossly disproportionate attraction to the abortion coverage. Part of it is the general complacency of the 1970's. Part of it is the ineffective efforts of student leaders to stimulate activism on important University-wide issues. But mostly, we are confounded by a student body that simply refuses to aSsume an active role in its education. Frankly, sermons on "getting involved" are not finally worth much. Self-righteous editors can always find clever ways to inspire whispers of guilt in the minds of the apathetic. But we still know more about student views on a minor plank in an insurance policy than we do about every other issue at this University combined.

How many students credit hours do they expect their departments to gain with these vast new requirements? And now that departmental hiring is directly related to the number of student credit hours taught, how many faculty positions will represent th ese new requirements to their departments? What are their self-interests in these own changes? There has been a tragic “failure of imagination” faculty • in the departments threatened with massive cut-backs: the failure to appreciate students’ express ed interests and to create new courses and programs that respond to those interests. For example, why has the English Department failed to create a program of studies in “Women and Literature”? Why do not the Social Sciences address themselves to “Death and Dying”? Why have the Engineering Departments failed to offer the general undergraduate courses dealing with the critical issues of nuclear power? We could go on and on. As a result of this failure of imagination many students have found in the Colleges some response to their needs. Instead of attracting students with exciting new ideas, departments which now face cut-backs have resorted to to enroll in what will be gigantic multiple sections of courses that they have not seen it in their interests to take of their own free will. We have taken the ideals of General Education seriously, and we still would like to help develop a broad integrated coherent pattern of undergraduate education. But we are very disappointed; we now find our that the idealistic language was merely a cover for a crude power grab of student enrollment, student credit hours the reigning currency within this university and a locking out of any opportunity for students to take electives from the by — - Colleges. We. beseech students to appreciate their own interests, and the interests of thejr younger sisters ,and brothers who might want to come to U.B. in the future, to inform themselves, and to speak out. One demand that would maintain some minimum freedom of choice would be to require that every undergraduate student be allowed one quarter of their program as electives, that is, 36 credits out of a total of 128 for graduation. It will be necessary for students to speak out and persuade the Faculty Senate of their desires to maintain that minimum freedonrof choice. In times past, students spoke out and changed this university.. The Colleges themselves are a memorial, a testiment, to the expressed student interest ten years ago. We know that and appreciate that fact.

Question 3 bears a bit more opposed tp the referendum have made this then primary argument. Bob Sinkcwicz goes so far as to write that “Neo-Fascism is on the rise” and “it is like living under the Shah of Iran”. The claiip is that the Senate does many good things, it’s just that no one learns of these actions due to a Jay Rosen-Karl Schwartz conspiracy. The proponents of this theory, however, have failed to lift the veil of secrecy The Spectrum and the SA Executive Committee have so expertly kept on all of these good deeds. This failure comes despite being provided all the space in The Spectrum they have requested to present their constituency To exclude the majority of the students who members of the Senate because only members of the SA clubs are eligible to be elected by clubs' presidents is unfair. “What will, in effect, probably happen will be that the entire Senate will be made up of the' presidents of clubs. Is that a more Patrick representative form of government? Young question. ( The Spectrum , March 9, ’79). The elimination of Senate Finance committee which functions “to prepare budgets for the (the SA allocation of the student activities fee Constitution Book of Rule, Article VI, Section I, Al), will greatly increase the Executive Committee’s Power. A majority of the Executive Committee is appointed by The Spectrum with due of process its endorsement.

Additionally, Bob says in his guest opinion of 3/7/79 that the charge that the Senate “reflects negatively on the Undergraduate Students” is not legitimate, “since only through The Spectrum. . are students informed and it is therefore The Spectrum who is responsible for this negative portrayal.” This line of reasoning would then lead one to condemn the Washington Post for not finding a way to positively report on Watergate. The solution of these “conspiracy theorists” has been to abolish The Spectrum and form a new newspaper to be run primarily by current Senators. -Presumably, this would foil the conspirators and finally enable everyone to see the truth virtues of the Senate. The fact that the government would be directly controlling the media is evidently not a concern to for a secret plebicite! GSHawan Suliawan InternationalAffairs Coordinator . the Senate. In the light of these facts, the conspiracy theory becomes easier to evaluate. It seems that placing credence in this conspiracy notion is dubious at best. However, if you do believe it your decision is easy vote “no” on the referendum and keep the Senate working to bust this megalomaniacal conspiracy. In any event, the decision rests where it properly belongs, with the student body although not for long if the Senate has its way. Read The Minutes ■‘••The Senate has failed to address virtually every issue vital to the University. These issues include the General Education plan. Springer Implementation, a centralized student union and the DUE Heal Sciences split, just to mention a few. We urge any student to scan the minutes of this year’s Senate meeting to verify our claim. We anticipate that you will be very — — discouraged! Go to the forums. Talk to different Senators. Ask a Senator what Springer is. Ask a Senator what General Education means. Ask a Senator who John Peradotto' is. Ask a Senator what Parcel B is. Ask a Senator what the Senate has accomplished this year. The Senate has accomplished nothing. Absolutely nothing, Zero. At its last meeting, motions were passed to: Require all referenda (regardless of student support) to be cleared through the Senate; Limit the power to amend the Constitution soley to the Senate. Obviously, dangerously, the Senate feels the student body has no right to alter its own Constitution. Unfortunately for Senate supporters, “neo-facist” conspirator Karl Scwartz vetoed both these pieces of progressive legislation. But the Senate will have a chance if the referendum fails to override those vetoes at their next meeting. So vote now while you still have the opportunity.

Chagrined To the Editor: After reading the article dealing with the New Right, 1 feel compelled to give a slightly more rational explanation in explanation of why conservative doctrine is rapidly becoming more acceptable in todays world. When this country was founded, it was founded in principle as a capitalist nation. It was a nation where people sank or swam based on their abilities to cope with and advance in the world. Perhaps Herbert Spencer analyzed and conveyed the situation best. His theory of Economic Darwinism states that man is nothing more than an animal trying to survive in an economic jungle. As a result of competition, the species will impxove itself, as those who master their environment are rewarded while those who fall by the wayside are doomed to a meager life if one lacks the necessary skills, drive and forbearance to improve. Government was basically a keepe; of peace, law and order. It was not one of confounding regulations % and guidelines and impact statements. It was not one which threatened the cut-off of federal funds if you didn't comply with governments’ wishes. However, communist and socialist revolutions overseas, (against admittedly repressive regimes), necessitated the change of government’s role in our lives. It was either give in to the socialist forces in our midst, or suffer a fate similar to that of Russia and China. So, armed with copies of Das Kapital and The Communist Manifesto social scientists, with governments’ blessings, set off in pursuit of the ultimate dream of every socialist.. the creation of , . the equal society. Now, there would be two ways to achieve this desired end result. Either raise people in the depths and throes of poverty upwards to a level deemed acceptable, or chop off the rewards and benefits to those who have risen above the norm. Unfortunately, the latter course was followed. The egalitarian society of which we are a part, seeks to level jail men. It seeks to rob from productive Petof to pay non-productive Paul. The more successful", one becomes and the more one works and obtains material rewards, the more heavily one is pihalized. As a result of such domination of peoples lives, obviously revolution will follow, and so will Proposition 13’s. A- jsitie effect of this egalitarian society is the evohWiqa of a strain of person who has developed the uncanny ability to know what is best for you in — your condition is best described as arrogant elitism. The typical elitist cannot understand tyhy one should attempt to question his right to determine the public morals. The elitist can see nothing disturbing about the opening of a porno book shop next to the local grade school. In fact, he would welcome it as a chance for the youngsters to expand their cultural horizons. But for God’s sake, don’t let him catch that child praying in a public school. The elitist becomes strikep with remorse at all of the people who have died at the-hands of facism and totalitarianism in this century. Yet he will defend to the death, the right of society to kill over half a million unborn, defenseless humans per year. This being done by methods ranging from salt poisoning to slicing them up whole. The elitist will tell communities that their children will be bussed across the city to satisfy his idea of an integrated education. However, he will take pains to register his child in a private prep school, safely removed in the country. After he has graduated from Harvard or Yale, the elitist cannot understand why he is not superior to those who did not have the opportunity to better themselves. The elitist cannot understand why the people who wear Dr. Scholl’s sandals, who visit shopping mall manicurists, who dress their children in clothes from the kid’s department at Sears, and who do their own work around the house with lumber they picked up in their Ford wagon. The elitist cannot understand why these people will not let their lives be directed by him, as indeed he knows what is best for them. In short, people are fed up with the self righteousness and hypocrisy of the social scientists in our government, and indeeed of the domination and arrogance of the government itself. Because of my reluctance to author a book at ■this time, 1 will end my discourse at this point. I only regret that I haven’t the time to expound further, as there are many more reasons for the resurgence of individual independence and conservatism in the country.

He had made six thousand so far and this excursion was aiming to bring in two thousand more. But he didn’t get the money.

As I walked through the door, its bell jingling, I stared hesitantly atjny surroundings. The place looked like a junkyard for old auto parts. Garage whatnots fan belts, exhaust pipes, mufflers, innertubes, distributor caps, spark plugs, wires and wheel rims cluttered the shelves and hung obtrusively from nails jutting out of the walls. Evefything in the room must have been manhandled by incredibly greasy hands. Papers were strewn — — about I almost didn't notice the 50 year-old black attendant that sat at the desk; he blended so well into the surroundings. The air was laden with the thick, gray smoke of a burning cigar which he had smoked almost down to the ring label. Our eyes met. He looked at me suspiciously, fumbling the cigar f between his fingers. I thought he was going to burn himself. All this time, I was doing my best to appear friendly. I identified myself as a college reporter and asked if he wouldn't mind answering a few questions for an article I was writing about gas station attendants. He listened in silence as I read my entire list of questions before making any response.

Over a period of several weeks, I interv i/iewed countless station attendants and found tha it they are not ashamed of their work; that it is socie tty,, they feel, which looks down upon them. "Sometimes, I feel like Rodney Dangerfield. Like, I don't get no respect,” said 18 year-pld Rich Sears. "Most people think that my job demands a pretty low amount of intelligence.

Profiling the simple man If he had granted me the interview, I would have attempted to gain some sort of insight into his character: his motivations, dreams, and his perception of the job he works eight hours a day, six days a week. I was inspired by a book entitled Working by Studs Terkel, which contains interviews of a cross-section of American workers. The book is a vivid illustration of Terkel's premise that some workers search for daily meaning to their jobs beyond the remuneration of the paycheck. The rewards the worker finds in his daily job often tell us more about the person than his task. Most newspaper or magazine profiles one reads, such as those in People magazine, deal with prestigious people in exciting, extraordinary jobs. The purpose of this article however, is to spotlight and illuminate an average, everyday American laborer. What I was looking for is what could be called ,the "archetypal" gas station attendant. Pumping gas |s an unpopular "low key" occupation but it provides hundreds of thousands with jobs. I wasn't looking for the school kid who pumps gas on weekends to help put himself through college and provide some extra drinking money. I Wanted the drifter. He's the guy who's been in a lot of places and done almost anything you could imagine. He could be just about anybody, an ex-con or maybe an ex-priest.

"Just fine," I answered. After my experiences with the Fillmore guy, I felt this man to be a godsend. I gave him the pitch about my articfe. As I talked, I noticed his mild manner and jovial expression. He almost always smiled. He dressed appropriately for his job: hip boots and a green army jacket, with the hood pulled up over a ski cap.

As I started to walk-away from the station, a girl in a green MG pulled in. Al nonchalantly leaned toward her as she rolled down her window. "Hi Al filler 'er up." He glanced at me. His grin turned into a broad smile as he reached for the pump nozzle. "Sure thing," he said. Like Al Lipa says, you don't know what it's like until you've done it. moment the thought's crossed my mind. But — ' inches an my notepad, iself, he began telling me starting with the basics.

"After I nee, I worked for a couple years on e - on the job?" washing for Al, a black man about 30 years old entered the station to buy a package of cigarettes. I took my chancces and asked him what he thought of Al's job. ''I used to work in a gas station myself," he said. "Worked_in a Texaco station in Florida for about six months." "What is. it about this job that can get you so depressed?"' "It's more than the. job itself that can get ya depressed, it's got more to do with the person that's doin' the job.

According to David Bernard, the OSH A citationis the first of its kind levied in the state. Buffalo is New York’s only major steel manufacturing city. The coke oven standards enforced by OSHA are threshold limits, delineating the least possible risk to employees, emphasized Bernard. Cost' benefit considerations are also weighed in setting up the standards, Bernard added (the safety hazard vs. the overall industrial benefit). Although the federal standards for coke oven emissions have only been in existence for two years the emission hazard has been around for far longer; ever since the onset of large scale manufacture of steel; late in the nineteenth century. Therefore, the cancer hazard is a longstanding one, affecting many thousands of workers over several decades. Are the penalties commensurate to the terrible health hazard? OSHA’s David Bernard answers that obviously One can’t determine What penalty is for -the inflicting of irreversible physiological damage. “How do you figure out in dollars the loss of a life or even a hand severed in a machinery accident?” he queried. Topside workers, those above the oven, risk a five times greater incidence of cancer and those working five years or more a seven times greater risk. The fumes contain essentially the same type of toxins found in cigarettes and are likely to cause throat, kidney, digestive or lung cancer. Kidney cancer for steelworkers runs at a seven and a half time greater rate than the rest of the population. In light of the hazards, OSHA has sent out newsletters and audio material to workers alerting them to the visual overriding dangers of their work. working Stricter standards Although OSHA’S David Bernard maintained is very concerned about the of its employees with', joint labor-management safety committees “working very well together,” this view is countered by at least one steelworker {cached for comment. the welfare that Ketter hints ,‘“ ootppany OSHA is not the only governmental authority enforcing health standards on Bethlehem Steel and other industrial concerns.

BEER AND WL Several Senators expressed concern over the exact wording of the survey. Hyman stressed that the survey was not in final form and that it may change with further Committee meetings. A motion was then made and passed that insured the survey would be presented to the Senate before use by Carver. “Read the motion'' sitting in the front row of Norton Hall’s At this point, Ketter Waldman Theater raised his hand. At most Senate meetings, Ketter gives a report as the first item and exits after answering questions. For — - this one, he stuck around. (Perhaps insign&cantly, perhaps not, the same meeting heard discussion on a report by the Senate’s Faculty Tenure and Privileges Committee. The report examined the functioning of the President’s Review Board (PRB), one of the final stops on the trail to faculty promotions. One of the more interesting items the report noted was that many PRB members felt thattoo often, the President overturned their decisions with little or no explanation.) Carver acknowledged the President. Ketter said Hyman’s motion was worded so that it implied that Carver was compelled to use the faculty survey data in evaluating the President. Hyman, standing ia the theater’s aisle a few yards behind Ketter, said politely that no, it did not imply compulsory use of the surveys. “I think if you’ll check the wording on it, you’ll'find that is does,” Ketter said, his head whipping quickly from Hyman to Garvet, his hand pointing insistently at the Chair and his face reddening noticeably. “Read the motion, that’s dhat it sounds like,” the President persisted. Hyman gave a quick shrug,of the shoulders. Garver read back the motion. Sure enough, it could be interpreted as an assumption that the Chairman would definitely use the survey. Garver suggested a change in the phrasing from words to the effect; to use by the Chairman” to: “prior to any use by the Chairman.” Ketter seemed satisfied. Hyman did not object. Abruptly, Ketter got up to walk out, his face still flushed. To leave the theater, he had to pass Hyman, who was still standing in the aisle. For an awkward, foot-shuffling second, the two men had to look each other in the eye. Ketter, still visibly uncomfortable, gave a short, quick nod ,and a smile to Hyman, whose expression barely changed. The President padded up the aisle and left, his assistant Harry Jackson staying for the remainder of the meeting. ' Questions galore The brief, but strangely off-character incident raises more than a few questions questions that are as significant as the change in — wording was trivial. First off, why was Ketter present for the discussion? Should the President be present when the Senate debates the method it will use to evaluate his performance? If not, who asks him to leave? If so, should he be able to suggest changes in those methods, even if the changes are semantical? And even if liis presence and his input are proper, what were Ketter’s motives in suggesting the change? They ate certainly personal. The only President the survey could apply to is Ketter, sincere Shna« committee tailored the questionnaire to the current University- environment. The only conceivable effect of the change in wording would be to lessen the impact of the survey on the Senate Chairman. Furthermore, the change is arguably unnecessary, since as Garver was careful to point out the Chairman has total discretion on what impresses him and what doesn’t impress him. Besides providing a clear indication that Ketter is thinking seriously about the review process, the incident which went unreported in the official minutes as printed in the Reporter bore special significance at a meeting where Senators could read about Ketter’s, personal ability to sink a faculty member’s career by overturning 3 decision of the PRB. As re-appointment builds as an issue, the' President’s all-encompassing power over some faculty members cannot help but have an effect. Would a faculty member think twice,about speaking in favor of an extensive questionnaire with the target of the questionnaire sitting in the front row? Is the balance of power between faculty and administration truly a balance with such serious overtones accompanying a sensitive debate like Presidential Evaluation Procedures? What ought to be finally the limits of Presidential power and influence in an institution supposedly devoted to freedom of thought and expression? — - - - ■Tr-- - P URIM SCHED ULE: - Monday, March 12- The Fast of Esther GMAT Purim Megillah Reading at Chabad House - 7 p.tn. 3292 Main Street and 2501 North Forest Road Annual Purim Blast Test for a Lifetime Be Prepared John Sexton's LSAT 9 p.m. Fillmore Room, Squire Hall Live Band, Free Food, Dancing, Singing Courses John Sexton Test Preparation courses offer you distinct ad• • Megillah Reading • ■-.*>> Chabad House 7:30 a.m. 3292 Main Street and in the Fillmore Room, Squire Hall at 12 noon and at 5 p.m. at 2501 North Forest Road — (lor Sumptuous Purim Feast anyone who might not have heard it y«) with puppet show, Amherst Chabad House, 2501 North Forest Road Students $3 at • “SHALOCH MONOS” Foqd kits available at Chabad House Table, Squire Center lounge Partialis Supported Bv Mandators Student Fees ■ . ■ ' i mF •Counseling Substantive curricula •"Live" instruction I not Just tapes I Substantial study materials Extra help sessions • GMAT Classes now forming for March 17, test I not just timings I Team instruction by a superior at GMAT vantages in preparing for these all important tests: ■■ •Best, most recant materials Tuesday, March 13- Purim Day & • faculty • •Practice exams - Compare John Sexton Course advantages with others, then for information call P9|j \hltM, Qm&ka TEST PREPARATION CENTER Bryant Stratton Bldg. 1028 Mam Street Buffalo, N Y 14002 & _ \ - U L.O �Official suggests scale down of lavish' campus f by Elena Cacavas Campus Editor — Riding a Bluebird bus between the ivory-towered campus of yesterday and Amherst’s scaled*down promise of tomorrow, Assemblyman Mark Siegel, D-New York, toured this University Thursday to examine its facilities and academic needs both of which - - tie concluded demand attention. Addressing a small press assemblage outside of Amherst’s Bubble which he later jokingly likened to New York’s exclusive East River the Chairman of the Senate’s Committee on Higher Tennis Club Education said, “Amidst the tuition controversy, it is essential that 1 se? the needs of the students.” He suggested that the lavish plans for tne unfinished portion of the campus be scaled down to avert “continual tuition increases in futqjg years.” Siegel repeatedly spoke of the State’s “moral obligation” to students who have joined its system. He said, “Our power to borrow and pay additional debt service and impose that on students is reaching a limit. . . We have to find some way to meet their educational needs. But we’ll have to look for ways to accomplish that without destroying students through tuition.” Throughout his day-long visit and meetings with student representatives and University administration, Siegel reiterated his belief that inadequate facilities at the new campus are an adjunct to poorly met academic needs of students. Of the overall $300 million in construction funds needed to finish Amherst and renovate the Main Street Campus, only $50 million has been allocated. Siegel called for a reassessment of proposed plans and said that he would support construction slated through 1980. "After that, concern for campus completion should revolve around the design element, looking, to more economical methods’’, he said. “This campus was laid out with a lavish hand.’’ Siegel defended student attacks on Governor Hugh L.

Public power has long been the pet project of University District Councilman Eugene Fahey and the People’s Power Coalition (PPC), both of whom have denounced Griffin’s action. The mayor has defended his position by maintaining that the Council cannot force him to take any action he doesn’t want to. Griffin has said he would rather have the money spent for “more important” things. But local proponents of public power have pointed put (hat the $100,000 allocation was part of the city’s capital budget which was passed unanimously by the Council and signed by Griffin himself last October. In light of this, the Council passed a resolution in November insisting that Jhe mayor spend the allocation as originally planned. i in an effort to resolve the dispute, both • the Council and the mayor's office asked the city Law Department for an opinion on the matter. After considerable delay, the Law Department finally rendered what Bart Bouricius of the PPC called “a tuzzy opinion” which in essence said that the Law Department didn’t know which side was in the right. As the situation stands now, Bouricius said, the Council would have to take Griffin to. court, and win, to force him to accede to its wishes.

Seconds later, he jumped the 100 feet to his death. Last year, a female at SUNY-Binghamton took an overdose of barbiturates and locked herself in a car in a secluded area. She had been a frequent visitor to the counseling center on campus before her death. A 17-year-old Michigan freshman killed himself by lying on the tracks in front of a moving train. He had complained about difficulties in college. It is estimated that 1,000 college students make serious suicide attempts every year in the United States and more than 250 succeed. The figures are only approximate because colleges often classify suicides as “accidents,” not necessarily to cover up the tragedy but because they just don’t know. The National Center for Health Statistics reports that the suicide rate among Americans aged 15-24 has doubled in the past decade. Suicide accounts for one out of ten deaths in that age group, and now ranks third behind accidents and homicides as a killer of young Americans. The Center also reports that male suicide rates progressively climb with aging while female rates peak at the 45-54 age group. The rate is greater among men than women in all age groups. — — - - Bankruptcy fears in New York City and the author of The Suicidal Patient said that the rate for college students tends to be higher than that for non-college adults of the same age. Also, 19 percent of college sophomores reported serious suicidal toughts, compared to the four percent of freshmen who reported such thoughts. Kiev suspects; the rate is so high because “college students are under more pressure in a competitive environment, possess a lower furstration tolerance associated with habits of television, have a greater emphasis on gratification and have less training in the postponement of gratification." , Kiev also attributes the increased rate to “the widespread use of drugs which reduces resistance to acting on impulses, and this holds for marijuana and not just hard drugs.” Suicidal symptoms However, noted university psychologists have said that students who attempt suicide do not really want to kill themselves. They are depressed a is suicidal and all want to do major symptom they escape the depression, it; “Until the moment that the bullet or barbiturate finally snuffs out life’s last breath, the suicidal person wants desperately to live. He is begging to be saved.” Dr. Kiev said the suicidal person “just doesn’t — — want to be distressed. It’s not so much seeking death as it is avoiding pain.” “If in a top-notch setting, there, is a denial of suicide as a problem,” Kiev said, “then at student health services, where psychiatric and psychological programs tend not to be given as much prominence as they should, suicide is going to be given even less. “Universities have to realize that they are dealing with young adults at the most critical, transitional and stressful periods of their lives. Yet, the schools seem to take an ostrich posture and ignore suicide,” he said. Counseling programs Some college have opened walk-in counseling services for students, provided 24-hour mental health hotlines, and established services in dormitories and classrooms. But all these programs cost money a lot of money and these services are hit first when the colleges institute financial cutbacks. The psychological counseling programs in many units of the City University of New York (CUNY) have almost been wiped out by fiscal, cutbacks. Queens College, for one, is now left with two people to handle its 19,000 students. Dr. Bernard Branson, a psychological consultant at Queens, said his department’s services were “shafted” because of the state cutback of money. “We used to have a good staff and we were always busy,” he said. “Now, students can’t get in right away so they don’t come in at all.” * — — quelled Erie GOP gains eight week reprieve on bank arrears by Joel DiMarco City The Editor Erie County Republican organization was unexpectedly from the possibility of bankruptcy Thursday afternoon rescued and given eight weeks to gets its financial act together. Under an agreement with Marine Midland Bank, which two weeks' ago demanded “forthwith” payment of $236,253 owed the bank by the GOP, the bank will defer filing a civil lawsuit , to recover the debt. In return, “We have submitted a plan to officials at Marine that outlines the steps we intend to take to become current and remain current in Qur obligations,” announced Paul Willax, chairman of the party’s Finance Committee. The bank’s unexpected decision was announced at a press conference- in Republican Headquarters located in the Statler Hilton Hotel. Less than 48 hours before, Marine officials had warned Victor Farley, the GOP county chairman, that the bank was going to proceed with its lawsuit. Neither Farley nor Willax could offer an explanation for the reprieve and officials at Marine Midland declined comment. The debt of $236,253 is only part of the $627,000 the party owes Iqcal banks.

While M&T did not call in its notes, one other bank did: Manufacturer’s Hanover to which the GOP owes 14,000. Willax said that Manufacturer’s Hanover has also agreed to give the party more time to solve its financial problems but did not say how much more time. Immediate support Thursday’s N agreements have quelled a financial crisis which many Republican party leaders and other political observes had predicted would end in bankruptcy for the eounty GOP. But the party’s state and national committee’s came to the immediate support of the local GOP and urged Marine to at least delay the lawsuit. Most of this support came in the form of negotiations between Chairman Republican State Bernard Kilbourn, Congressman Jack Kemp, State Comptroller Edward Regan and officials of Marine Midland. The exact nature and details of these negotiations has not been made public. Under the agreement with Marine, the party must make up more than $23,000 in past due payments, stay current in its furture monthly payments and collect enough funds to operate its headquarters in the black.

So anybody else coming into that place is at a A quick glance at the two motor daily in Buffalo of the basketball papers during the height season makes it obvious that the Bulls lack any extensive coverage, True. UB does not compete against the caliber of teams that Niagara does, but until this year, Buffalo regularly faced —fioss — Syracuse, Temple and Detroit, all of which are ranked in the top 20 nationally. I’m sure both papers decided at the first of the year that they were going to push Canisius because that’s the one that’s got the best chance to succeed. They were right as far as Niagara and Canisius were concerned, Obviously Niagara wasn’t going anyplace. I thing that’s unfair to choose. You know. “We’re going to support Canisius and the rest of you can go to the dogs.” When you are not doing that well and we won only seven games I’m not sure you want a lot of publicity anyway. 1 remember one of my coaching classes, we had a term paper on public relations responsibility.

Suprisingly enough, there are kids coming here to take advantage of a good education. Another thing is that our being in Buffalo is really a major selling point it’s a major city. There are a lot ofplaces to go and things to do. There is a certain excitement. At Fredonia State, for example, we’re down in the bobnies.

The second thing heje at UB is the school has a good academic The thorn in the side of the Bulls is the lack of coverage given to UB by the college basketball writer for The Buffalo Evening News. Whenever he does give the Bulls some column space, he tends to ridicule the style of play and the Division HI competition. A guy like him. I’d like to sit down am) argue with him for about an hour. Like how can you say some of those things? It didn’t make any sense! But he’s convinced he’s right and he’s noF going to change his mind. so. I don’t know, 1 guess the worst thing a coach could do is APPEARING THIS WEDNESDAY - — - Football meeting basketball and win mure We went up to play Kentucky when I was with Florida for the first game in Rupp Arena. The game was a sell-out, 23,000 fans. Before game time, before we even hit the floor for warm-ups, there were 23,000 people in the stands. That place was packed. 1 thought, "well this is going to be super.” But once the ball went up for the jump-ball, it was another game. 1 might as well have been at Fredonia or here in Clark Hall. It didn’t matter all the people in the stands could’ve emptied out somewhere in the middle of the game, and 1 would have never noticed it. You just become oblivious to it. The only difference was they (Florida) had so much money kicking around at that level. You can do somethings a little bit nicer than we can do here. But then again, I’m not sure how much nicer. We had our share of burgers and fries down there everything wasn’t delivered like you think.

It is essential that we look toward trimming the Ashland Program. announces corporate , element.” UB has not yet started design for chemistry, geology, mathematical sciences, theater, social sciences, lecture and student administration facilities. While Siegel claimed he wasn’t able to identify “on the spot” which proposed new buildings should be modified or eliminated to save money, he suggested as a feasible alternative, the redesign of single purpose buildings, to make them multi-program accommodations. “The problem is unequal facilities if everything Ls to be built by 1984. We would be left with some disciplines without adequate facilities. We have to combine service within reasonable ways,” Siegel undesigned — Ashland Oil Inc., which operates a refinery on River Road in the Town of Tonawanda. has announced a Si ,000 gift to the State University at Buffalo Foundation Inc. for its Corporate Alliance The unrestricted gift will be used along with other Corporate Alliance funds to support various academic projects related to corporate needs, explained D. John Bray, director of corporate relations at the U/B Foundation. The Corporate Alliance was established to strengthen ties between business institutions and U/B.s educational facilities. Corporate gifts are applied as “seed money” for academic research, special library acquisitions and support of acabemic awards for both students and faculty. “The University appreciates the support of Ashland Oil and other corporations and institutions,” Mr. Bray said. “Corporate support for higher education is an investment beneficial to both.” — $ maintained. One of the best When students questioned why Stony Brook received $19 million in funds for replacement of “temporary” dental school facilities, Siegel explained that Stony Brook construction is “slightly mpre attractive” because it relates to “revenue producing investment.” “Nevertheless,” he maintained, “we want this University UB to be one of the best in the country." - - Siegel confronted students’ expected attacks on the State for its limited SUNY budget, which they felt spiralled into the need for a tuition hike. “Personally,” he claimed, “I’m opposed to the increase. I feel the basic needs of the students have not been met.” He maintained, however, that a large chunk of the increased revenue would go to Amherst Construction. Student Association President Karl Schwartz argued that the State has continually shifted tuition funds from reserves intended for construction to foot regular operating costs in the past. Siegel countered with the “compromise” offered by Assembly Speaker Stanley Fink which stipulates that if students themselves specifically members of the Student Association of the State University (SASU) can “specify alternative reductions within or without the University budget, they will gain support of the majority of the legislature” to perhaps persuade the SUNY Board of Trustees to reconsider its decision. In an interview with the Courier Express prior to his visit Thursday morning, Siegel said, “We in the Assembly have resisted it (a tuitiqn hike). We don’t want it. . . I’ll advise them (students) to focus their attention on the Senate. If the Senate goes along, 1 think we’ll go along (with a budget increase).” - — alliance 1000 gift Six pounds.. through and* made a mint.

Most of them resort to homosexuality,” Jay told me. “1 mean, you really have no choice. There are the big men who will protect and take care of you if you will be their boy. Several men have asked me to be their boy ...” Even though the prisoners are allowed to receive visits from female companions, the authorities in this case, a short balding squealing voiced Frenchman strictly frown upon -» - from -continued page 9— actual intimate physical contact. Instead, the lovers are allowed to hold hands. ■That night, after a dinner of ham and peaches, the prisoners were allowed to have a party. Some of the men tried to sneak off over behind the barracks style dormitory to make love. The guards were running frazzled all night trying to separate them. I saw one couple sitting on a picnic table. The woman had her head face down on his lap. It took me a while before I realized what they were doing. I spilled. Jay laughed a loud angry laugh, despising the necessity of resorting to this cunning for life’s pleasures. black room. He pointed at that head guard and cursed, “tabernacle!” Jean was a friendly sort and was teaching Jay French. Friendly sort it?” The two walked off together towards the lighted baseball diamond next to the 20 foot high electrified fence. Jay told me that Pierre had killed a man because he didn’t pay back a debt. After shooting, Pierre threw him out a four story window. “Wait until you hear about how Jean got caught. He had it all planned out. He was going to go to Pakistan for some hash. They caught him at the airport in Montreal. Right when he got off the plane, the RMCP nabbed him. His mother ratted. Do you believe The guards ushered the visitors out of the front gate shortly after midnight. Jay poked his hands through the gate and shook it. Clank, click. He was locked in.

The seals only carry the fur for about three weeks after birth, until thpy gain enough weight to keep warm without the protective hair. The fur is used for commercial reasons, such as lining gloves. The United States has banned the import of baby seal fur. The Buffalo Animal Rights Committee is gathering signatures for petitions. Copies of the petitions, accompanied by a cover letter protesting the slaughter, will be sent to Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, the Canadian Ambassador to the United States, and the Norwegian Ambassador to the United States.

The proposed Constitutional amendment is being challenged in the Student-Wide Judiciary (SWJ) by two other senators. , According to the current SA Constitution, 25 of the 46 Senators are chosen from the three SA Task Forces — Student Affairs, Academic of those people were Affairs and Student Activities and elected by as few as four voters, according to Bob Lowry, one of the seven Senate supporters of the restructuring. A student is required to attend two consecutive Task Force meetings, Lowry explained, to become a voting member and then is eligible to be elected into the Senate by the Task Force. “I think it’s sort of ridiculous that a Senator could be elected by four people,” Lowry remarked. Lowry said the six Senators’ action was taken to remove a “do nothing Senate” and replace it with one that would again fight for student interests. Joining Lowry in support of the amendment are Mike Cantwell, Gary Devin, Christine Weckerle, Brian Mikolan and Rona _ ,. Martin. A joke Martin criticized the Senate for being unfamiliar with parliamentary procedure, causing most meetings to be lengthy and confusing. “They come and they don’t know what a Senate meeting is,” she commented. Mikolan said the length of the meetings, often up to five hours, deters student involvement. An average of approximately 25 senators attends each meeting. “I’m so-frustrated,” Martin revealed. “I don’t want the Senate to be a joke. I waht to accomplish things at the meetings.” Lowry too was critical of the Senate’s alleged inaction. He called the current senators “miracle workers,” saying, “Anytime they work, it’s a miracle." Lowry claimed the Senate has abandoned its responsibilities, choosing instead to attack The Spectrum and the SA Executive Committee and ignore academic issues. Twice this year the Senate has voted to dissolve The Spectrum and replace it with a paper to be run mostly by SA senators. On several occasions, the Senate has voted to delay last November’s SA elections, defying the power of the-SWJ. “It’s amazing that so many people can believe something that’s so out of touch with reality,” Lowry commented. Lack of unity Martin lashed out at the internal hostility that has tom the Senate apart. “The racial split is ridiculous,” she said. “We’re not trying to make enemies,” A veteran of student government, Martin admitted she is embarassed by the lack of unity she said has prevented the Senate from functioning usefully. Should students vote to dissolve the Senate, many of the current senators would lose their positions, although some may seek reappointment. Lowry said his group is willing to lose their posts to restore power to SA, “It’s like cutting off an arm to save the body,” he said. A few of the six Senators decided only recently to back the restructuring, Mikolan said the Senate’s refusal to recognize the Gay Liberation Front as a legitimate minority group was the last straw for him. “It’s a totally self oriented bias,” he commented. Lowry charged that many of the Senators are concerned mostly with the budgetary allocations their particular groups get from SA. The SA Constitution Committee has been working on a totally new document which should be ready in about two weeks, Lowry said. The Constitution faces evaluation by the Senate either a new restructured Senate or the current one and then must win approval by a student referendum. Lowry expressed doubt that the current Senate would favor the soon-to-be proposed Constitution. Asked how the current Senators would react to the dissolution of their organization, Mikolan smiled, “They’ll probably meet anyway and declare it invalid.” - — Although expressing “enthusiastic support” for the concept of general education, Lee in a Feb. 27 letter to Carver, strongly objected to several key portions of the recently-released plan, calling it “unacceptable” to the Newton Carver, Faculty Senate Chairman Suggested posiible change of requirements Engineering faculty. Carver, in a March 6 response, noted that approval of the proposal will create a mechanism to address many of Lee’s concerns. Carver disagreed with Lee’s contention that the proposal is weighted too heavily toward the liberal arts, saying instead that he considers it an attempt to “restore a proper balance between science and The trading of letters between Lee and Carver may be only the first such exchange between proponents of General Education and officials of Engineering, along with other professional schools, who feel that Gen Ed’s additional requirements will strain student schedules that are already tightly structured. Lee outlined for Carver the minimum requirements I • nPf • | » Irnpicrncn Lotion — t t _ OT 1Pn tO Acknowledging that any sound engineering program must necessarily include social sciences and humanities, humanities.” The fate of the General Education Program could well be 41 Tuesday’s Faculty"Senate Meeting. On the other determined iTy / hand, its fate may drag on for months. Over one week ago, the Faculty Senate’s Executive voted to forward the proposed General Education Committee firrniHP report to the entire Senate for approval, after first changing the implementation date from Fall 1979 to Fall 1980. The Committee also recommended the Senate dissolve into a “Committee of the Whole.” Committee of the Whole is effectively just a name change, I ,lle Se nate will constitute the new Committee. The since V advantage of the move, according to Faculty Senate Chariman Newton Carver, is that it provides “double exposure” to the report. The Committee of the Who|e can amend the document itself, and, when ready, vote to forward-the report to the Senate. The Committe will then rename itself the Senate and re-evaluate the report. | SA S»n»tor 'Any firm they work, it't s miracle' Lee concluded with the pledge: “If our University is. serious about the challenge and opportunity to develop real general education programs, I would be most delighted to cooperate and participate.” Carver noted that the full Faculty Senate is the place to address many of Lee’s questions and urged the Dean to attend this Tuesday’s meeting, where the plan will be discussed. —continued on page 2— Once the proposal is back before the Senate, it can be viewed in total form and further amended, said Carver. If the Senate approves the proposal, (The Senate could possibly vote to send it back to the drawing broad, or to the General Education Committee, for revision,) it is forwarded to President Robert L. Ketter and ultimately to Vice President for Academic Affaris Ronald Bunn and Vice President of Health Sciences Carter Pannill. Carver said he “remained quite open” to what will happen at the Special Senate meeting on Tuesday, but noted that the report caused “tension at the Executive" Committee, and the issues probably haven’t cooled.” Carver said that while the Senate meeting is open to everyone, only ,Senators and members of the General Education Committe will be allowed to speak. However, said Carver', if any faculty member wished to discuss his views on GeneralEducation before the Senate, he should consult with Carver beforehand.

The Chairman pointed out that, if. Engineering students were required to take only those courses mandated by accrediting bodies, they would have more than enough credits left to complete the General Education program. Only when the requirements of Engineering departments are added to student schedules does the problem ot fitting in Gen Ed arise. Carver noted. These additional requirements, Carver wrote, “are not to be taken lightly; but it is not clear that they must automatically be given such a high precedence that they wipe out the General Education requirements adopted for undergraduates at this institution." Discussion, Carver said, should center around possible adjustments in three categories: the General Education program; Engineering requirements; and “the norm-for completing a degree in four years.” Carver said that Lee's desire for a Gen Ed program that would allow students to concentrate some study in a nbn-major area cuts against General Education’s devotion to academic breadth. New courses He also noted that the proposed plan allows units such as Engineering to develop a special core program for its students, subject to approval by the continuing General Education Committee (which he called one of the plan’s “outstanding strengths”) Finally, addressing Lee’s concern for general education’s emphasis on the liberal arts, Carver a - wrote. “Coupled with an increasing narrowness in the intellectual range of Our graduates goes a drastic imbalance in enrollment,” Carver wrote. General education, he said, could provide budgetary incentive for certain departments in the humanities to develop new courses that may even such as a philosophy course satisfy science requirements on twentieth century physics. - “1 believe,” Carver concluded, “that it is perfectly appropriate foe the Faculty Senate to adopt programs which will redistribute enrollments towards humanities, just as it was appropriate ten years ago to allow a special admissions program for Engineering.” Gen Ed Chairman believes new Increases its own power attitudes necessary for success Senate rules current referendum is invalid Pronouns, or at least the use of them at this University, may be the “key” to a successful General Education program, says History Professor Norman Baker, Chairman of the General Education Committee. Baker thinks that before a workable, meaningful program can be assembled, a “collective we” must float through discussions about General Education as a grammatical acknowledgement that the program is a University-wide responsibility and not a task that “they” must assume. Baker will present the Committee’s plan to the full Faculty Senate at a special meeting Match 13. The Committee's report was examined by the Senate Executive Committee last week and amended to remove plans for a fall 1979 implementation of Phase I. That phase would have Introduced a nevdt distribution requirement for freshmen eleven courses in six, wide-ranging “knowledge areas.” With the pressure now off for some type of prop-am ready in the fall, the Gen Ed Committee, with guidance from the Senate, should be able to integrate some of what was to be Phase II into the new Phase I, Baker said. How much will be added is impossible to determine without further Committee deliberations, he — President Karl Schwartz without due process.

Baker also believes that the labeling of General Education as an innovation misses the mark, The movement, he says, is a blend of both traditional theories on undergraduate education and Pies-in-th e-sky But any kind of progress will be slowed if General Education continues to be seen as a savior for the Humanities and a threat to the professional schools, Baker asserted. “1 think it re-emphasizes the importance of the Ding Edueation Chairman irnum Baker, Proposes collective we, explained. «•) Proposed an SA Constitutional, amendment which gives the to review the qualifications of all candidates and the legitimacy and legality of all referenda, before they may come before a student-wide vote. The amendment would give the Senate powers currently held by the SA Elections and Credentials Committee. The amendment was sent to the SA Operations and Rules Committee; Reversed, by 19-2-2, a Constitutional amendment, made before this year, which struck the word “sole” from a sentence in the Constitution stating that “the Senate shall have sole authority” to amend the Constitution and the Book of Rules.

An anticipated' shortage of dormitory space is expected to swell the numbers of students looking for housing in a shrinking market. The traditional house hunt begins in the Spring, right after the mid-semester break. Many students turp to Squire Hall’s Off-Campus Housing (OCH) Office, which provides apartment and house listings, while also maintaining a tenant complaint file. The search peaks in April as students attempt to find housing before finals. “Last year, an estimated 30-40 people inquired at the Office daily, searching for housing.” said former OCH Director Alan Clifford. Immediately prior to school’s opening in the Fall, the numbers increase fourfold, said Clifford, as students who failed to find housing in the spring, make a last desperate scramble. “During August last year, we had people lined up from the office on the 3rd floor to the middle of the second floor staircase,” noted Clifford. mg ted ami landlords to call in housing vacancies now. In addition to the off-campus 'shortage, University Housing Director Madison Boyce projects that 300-400 students who request dorm space will not be accomodated. Compounding the low supply and high demand situation is a lack of OCH funding. “We lack the financial stability to put on a full campaign for Spring," said Fleischer. Last year, the University Housing Office gave the financially-strapped OCH an additional $1,000 »o help it cope with the Spring rush. Boyce anticipates that additional aid is likely to be forthcoming this year, although no commitment has •« { u H T <» been made. In order to provide a more expansive service and lay the foundation for a wider operation, OCH, currently financed through Sub-Board I, Inc., the Student Service Corporation, has requested funding from the University Administration. OCH has asked for close to $10,000 which would include funds for a projected study of off-campus housing by the School of Architecture and Environmental Design, a Encourage earlybirds Harold Fleischer, present OCH Director hotline to deal with rental and tenant problems, and anticipates that the shortage will worsen this year, increase informational services regarding houses and due to a decline in the number of available landkrrds. apartments.

Senators request SWJ halts today’s student referendum Attempting to halt the Student Association’s referendum to restructure the Student (SA) Senate, two Senators have asked the Student Wide Judiciary (SWJ) to grant a temporary restraining order which would effectively stop the elections until “reasonable” publicizing of the referendum and the dissemination of information takes place. The student court heard the case Thursday night, too late for the decision to be published in today’s The Spectrum. The two Senators, Bob Sinkewicz and Gunawan Suliawan claim that “irrepairable harm” will be caused to the undergraduate population, which started and therefore the referendum Wednesday and is due to be finished today should be halted. In their request to SWJ, Sinkewicz and Suliawan state, “This referendum will disenfranchise students. It is only advertised on the day of the voting, and thus no student outside of the base ten percent needed on a petition for of the will have knowledge referendum prior to the vote and thus will not have the proper time to make a rational decision referendum — — — Secret plebicite The two Senators have asked SA President Karl Schwartz to “show cause” why he should not be enjoined from the “conduction and ratification” of the referendum. They note the need that published notice of the referendum take place, along with the insurance that “a reasonable period of time has elapsed, to be decided by the court, and all rules of due process (14th amendment to the U.S. Constitution} are upheld.” The Senators claim that since only a majority of ten percent of the daytime undergraduates are needed to ratify the Constitutional Amendment, and since it was not publicized, “a secret plebicite could actually take place . .

The Legislature, which approved a new building rather than ask the SUNY Board of Trustees to name the entire Amherst Campus after the former Vice President and New York State Governor The original resolution, proposed by Legislator William Pauly (R Amherst) weeks ago, was amended because many people felt there was no need to change the name of the campus, according to one legislative be involved in aide.

The Amherst Town Council also opposed the renaming of the campus, voting 7 0 against Pauly’s suggestion last Monday. According to Amherst Town Supervisor John R.

Passed by a majority vote was the motion to grant two credits to Chemistry 319’s three-hour lab, currently a one credit offering. The lab, taken in conjunction with a lecture, would amount to a five-credit course. However, a Springer sub-committee, which is currently investigating .the philosophical problems of allowing courses which deviate upward from the three-credit norm, could void the Wednesday recommendation. Another vote, made in conjunction with a February 28 Curriculum Committee decision, unanimously denied offering English 221/222, 231/232, and 2,41/242 courses for four'credits. The committee has previously voted by a narrow margin to permit four credits for three contact hours in English 101, 102, 201, and 202 writing courses.

Ketter. . The grandfather dames currently being considered would allow students with at least 88 credit hours completed by September 1, 1979, to graduate with a minimum of 122 credit hours (as opposed to the present standard of 128). The clause allows that a student with 88 credits (two courses behind normal progress) who would have had to carry five courses per semester in his or her senior year year to graduate prior to Springer will need only one additional course, instead of four, and thus still be able to complete the degree within a year.

Under the clause now being considered, distribution requirements will remain as currently stated for all programs.

Additionally, all students accepted in a major by September 1, 1979 or having completed 88 credit hours by that date would not be" required to take more than the current number of courses required. For students who have completed 56 credit hours by that date, the clauses would not allow more than two additional major courses beyond current degree requirements. A February 2) report from DUE Dean John Peradotto which outlined the clauses made one exception. “It is understood that any department or program under the necessity of adding courses to a major in order to meet minimum accreditation standards shall be permitted to require any number of additional courses required to meet those standards.” The only exceptions to this clause would be Millard Fillmore College students and “hardship cases resulting from implementation of T K — - I 7:30 pm Langston Hughes Center 25 High Street PRESENTED BY THIRD WORLD STUDENT ASSOCIATION announced changes Peradotlo’s office.

Alfreda has long played a conservative-populist tune. Even when not campaigning she kept a busy speaking schedule at American Legion Posts, Holy Name Societies and conservative political meetings warning parents that their power over schools was being grabbed by bureaucrats in Albany and Washington. She also exposed waste and corruption in government and urged a return to “law and order”, respect for “authority”, and stricter discipline in schools. Any right-winger could be proud of Alfreda’s record of opposing “subversives” and communists. During protests here in the Spring of 1970 she sought to stop SDS members from passing out leaflets at Bullalo high schools and helped raise a storm of criticism against the storefront College A and University policy in general. In 1964 Alfreda asked the State Education Commissioner to deny tenure to two Buffalo teachers with alleged Communist Party connections. She claimed their loyalty oaths were not legally on valid. Alfreda even did a 14-month stint with the CIA in Washington during the early fifties. “It was very interesting work” she recalled, “no two days were the same.” If she hadn’t returned to Buffalo to marry she might have stayed, she said. She worked at the Polish desk because of her fluency in that language. Doing what? I’d better not say,” she said. Home-grown But Alfreda is not an “insider.” She is not the hot-house product of powerful interests but a home-grown political phenomemon.

Six of the Senate's own members have expressed strong support for the measure before students today a referendum that would reform the Senate in hopes of creating a new body that is representative of student interests. Lashing out at the Senate's inaction of major academic issues and on the divisive, disorganized tenor of Senate meetings, these seven Senators who, admirably enough, are risking their own position if provide dramatic, undeniable evidence that the referendum passes the majority of Senators have been so misguided in their attacks that they must be replaced. With all the charges and counter-charges flying between the controlling faction in the {senate and The Spectrum, we can easily understand readers'reluctance to take our word for it on such a politically-heated issue. That is why we have urged students to Attend Senate meetings for themselves and why we have openly acknowledged that The Spectrum is no longer a detached observer in this controversy. Hence, the willingness of six Senators to.— on their own initiative support the abolishment of their own body provides the evidence we, as unwitting but nonetheless active participants in the dueling, could never furnish.

My initial concern was aesthetic: the ceiling is ugly beyond the imagination of those who have not actually seen it. I need not bore your readers with a chronical of the continuing pleas, plans, and broken promises that envelope this recently-errupted cause celebre. But I do wish to raise a question that seems to have been overlooked in recent attempts to hide the sore and in responses to those' attempts. In doing so I must remind us all that the ceilings in our basement corridors and practice rooms were initially planned to provide some degree of sound absorption. This is a worthy goal for prisonlike corridors ( which best describes our basement), as well as for rooms in which sound is the principal preoccupation of inhabitants (which is the case with music practice! — — The application of an acrylic plastic spray to any sound absorbent material is not well-calculated to increase that material’s effectiveness.

But Chairman of the Faculty Senate Newton Carver's crisply-worded response cuts right to the core of what properly should be the debate how much can professional programs like Engineering bend to accomodate-the aims of General Education? It is clear to us that they can even within accreditation constraints bend more than Lee is willing to admit. And it is even clearer that highly techni&ff; highly specialized, highly attractive programs like Engineering are the very target General Education takes aim at. To exempt Engeinering students straight off would be to admit failure at the onset of the program. Lee's suggestion that Engineering students should be allowed to structure an informal "minor" in areas like Economics shows an alarijiing ignorance or perhaps avoidance of the very foundation of General Education: intellectual breadth and exposure to many knowledge areas. Unhappily, Lee has begun what ought to be a carefully reasoned debate on General Education in a recklessly extreme fashion; and has wasted no time in firing the first volley in a war over enrollments a war that can only plunge the discussion into the very infighting that helped create the fragmented, incoherent undergraduate program we find ourselves with. Garver should be commended for his well-stated attempt to steer the debate back on its proper track. General Education, as Garver pointed out, may require a rethinking of Engineering's devotion to major requirements and technical training. It may also shift enrollments back to the liberal arts, not as a CARE package for the hungry humanities, but as a reflection of a changing attitude about education an attitude Lee does not appear ready to share. , •a Is ‘cow’look fashionable?

Defeat the bill Two powerful forces To the Editor: I am afraid that I fit all to well into the of an apathetic undergraduate student here at UB. But something has occurred to rouse me from my rut. I see a highly respectable stereotyped image University going down the drain, and with the two loudest voices in student affairs bickering like children. This saddens me greatly as I happen to like this place and the people I have met here. In Friday’s The Spectrum I saw an article concerning how the SA has again voted to dissolve The Spectrum. This happens at a time when these two powerful forces should be aligned as never before (because there certainly are plenty of things chat need doing around here). It is also unfortunate that criticisms of both sides seem to be all too well founded. In regards to a new newspaper to be managed almost exclusively by Senators, how can a newspaper be run by the “quasi” ruling organization of student affairs? Do you folks in the SA Senate have so much free time as to be able to handle both jobs with the excellence required? Besides, isn’t this a good way to get a crises-worthless newspaper (at least in regards to internal student politics)? As this incidents legal grounds stem from supposed violations of its charter, I for one would like to see a copy of both organizations’ charters. Hopefully printed in The Spectrum if possible. I do hope I see a large freedom of the press clause in The Spectrum’s charter as 1 feel this is of grave importance. A newspaper has a duty as the watchdog of society and hence can't be restricted as to what it prints as news. Another right is freedom of speech, critical or no. An editorial is supposedly a responsible expression of opinion from a supposedly well informed source on matters of importance to all. If people are offended by frank criticisms then they are offered a chance to reply in the same halloNved pages of The Spectrum. That’s the real world SAM! As Sub Board 1 is currently running an investigation of the alleged violations of its (The Spectrum ) charter, isn’t it their responsibility to handle such matters as disbandment of the newspaper. In Dec. 13, 1978, The Spectrum's editorial entitled “JUDGING WITH JUDGEMENT”, The Spectrum states, “We are in the business of making judgements. ..” This is partially true, although judging as such should be kept ih the editorial pages and clearly labeled as such, and the majority of attention should be paid to accurate johmalism. And in regards to the student who claimed that The Spectrum is one of the leading causes of racism on campus, 1 'find it so hard to remember any evidence of this that I can only call that a cheap shot and wonder why it was printed as news in the first place. Edward R. Culpepper Vote no To the Editor: Dear student. May I remind you first of all, that you have the right and obligation to make up your own mind and decide your own fate. DO NOT let a handful of editors, who they are working for the “student” newspaper, decide for you what is best for you! The Spectrum also claim they are an independent corporation, accountable to no one on campus, despite the fact that they receive $35,000 a year from your mandatory fee monies. Possibly a small part of your money was used by The -Spectrum for an illegal equipment transfer deal they made with Sub Board. Getting to the point, it is very unfair that 90 per cent of the students never heard of this issue, never mind have enough information to make a rational decision about it. Only on the day of the vote are students given any information, though extremely vague* This is wrong. Only 10 per cent of the students are needed to validate this referendum. They could be the same 10 per cent that signed the petition for referendum. Thus a secret plebicite could easily take place. Generally speaking, people will not vote if they don’t know about an issue; the only people here who know about this is the 10 per cent who signed the petition. It sounds fishy to me. It is like living under the Shah Of Iran. The SA government and The Spectrum press dictate to the students what they should do. It should be the other way around. It sounds like a conspiracy between Jay Rosen, Editor-in-Chief of The Spectrum and Karl Schwartz, SA President twice practically appointed by The Spectrum in endorsement. Curiously, Jay Rosen and Karl Schwartz will in no way be affected by this vote. An interesting omission of information from the monopoly “student!’ press, is that students never once have been informed about the SA Constitution Committee that all semester has feverishly been • working on a new constitution. They are trying to the constitution and eliminate the faulty revamp parts. _ No, you will never hear anything good the Senate does from The Spectrum. This constitution committee, nearly finished with and ready to'make a recommendation will be wiped out, along with its legally and constitutionally elected members, and in part be replaced by people from organizations that have no constituency, i.e. Sub Board. Well students. I’m sorry to admit that yes, even here in the University, neo-fascism is on the rise. Bob Sinkewicz Editor's note: The Spectrum receives precisely $27,450 from Sub Board /, Inc. Opinionated outbursts To the Editor: again I must express my grave disappointment in your loosely conceived and crudely written editorials, namely the one entitled “Vote Yes” which appeared on Wednesday, March 7th. It clearly proved to me that you will continue to employ a pseudo-journalistic, and politically abrasive style in direct contradiction to the complaints that have. been voiced concerning The Spectrum’s editorial and reporting policies. I particularly found your comment about “politicians replacing journalists” comical. Calling yourself a journalist is only a small fraction of the story. Your editorials are clearly laced with heavy political overtones, thus qualifying you as one of the most widely read and hence influential politicians on this Once campus. To think otherwise is naive. It would be far more beneficial to the general student interest, and also more appropriate to your position as Editor-in-Chief, if you would reserve your heavy-handed comments for : -mes which do not contribute to the divisiveness cf the student body. It is one thing to call for a rally to fight Governor Carey’s oppressive policies, but it is quite another to influence internal Student Association affairs. These arc clearly two, or more, sides to the present Student Association controversy, yet you have continuously misrepresented rnd shortchanged the “other” side(s). Did it ever occur to you to explore the source of at least a substantial part of blatantly ■jAlVitfvM ,Vf, iwdQT' the recent “ludicrous” behaviors?(Hint; MoU-Schwartz election fiasco). the , The fist of what I mean to convey, here is that it is unwise and quite objectionable to view every issue or controversy, regardless of its nature, as falling within the purview of your “journalistic" domain. Some tact and surely some discretion is sorely missing on your behalf. 1 would be the first to admit The Spectrum’s courageous, invaluable and effective performance on many university-related issues, but I am afraid that in the case of our Student Association this newspaper has become a tri-weekly scrapbook of opinionated outbursts. Sheldon H. Gopstqin Editor’s note: As journalists, we have found it difficult to remain apolitical when politicians take active steps to destroy our organization. As humans, we have found it difficult to remain light-handed about daily attacks on our personal integrity and qualifications. Perhaps you can understand such difficulties, even if you don’t care to realize that the issue is both political and heavy and calls for corresponding treatment. There may or may not have been dozens of errors and oversights on our part in covering the Senate: but to say that professional we ought to have kept a dispassionate, apolitical stance when we are the issue and the issue involves politics with a passion, seems quite unfair. To jay To the Editor. The proposed Constitutional Amendment to abolish the student Senate is an outgrowth of the infighting which has characterized the Student Association since the beginning of this acamdemic year. Throughout this year, the Senate, the Executive Committee (Karl Schwartz et al) and The Spectrum have spent more time attacking each other than in furthering the interests of the student body. In the past, SA President Schwartz has fired members of the SA Executive Committee who he didn’t like or couldn’t work with. The SA Senate has tried to dissolve The Spectrum because it didn’t like that paper’s editor. The Spectrum has meanwhile used its power to strike blows against the Senate. The amendment to destroy the Senate is a continuation, by Karl Schwartz and The Spectrum, of their personal differences with the Senate. Because they don’t like the present members of the Senate they wish to totally change the structure of that body. Voting to abolish the present Senate plays into the hands of those who believe we should have a government of personalities, not a government of Law. In repeated editorials The Spectrum has, I think justly, condemned those who, presumably for personal reasons, attacked the right of The Spectrum to exist and publish freely. How can The Spectrum now justify its own action, in endorsing this motion, which amounts to little more than a personal vendetta against a few senators. Will any future Senate vote with freedom, wheen, lurking in the background, The Spectrum stands ready to lend its all powerful endorsement privilege to motions calling for the dissolution of the Senate, should the members of that Senate decide to vote against the wishes of The Spectrum Editor-in-Chief. Aside from these philosophical questions there are also practical roblems with the amendment. For example, it calls for the student Senate “unrepresentative” but makes no provision for its replacement by a more representative body. Under the old constitution lA of the Senate was elected at-large by the student body. The new Senate will consist of no elective members. To get into the new Senate you will have toJielpng to an SA club and be selected by the president of the club to serve on the Senate. What will, in effect, probably happen will be that the entire Senate will be made up of the presidents of clubs. Is that a more representative form of government? Also, the new amendment does away with the task force system inside the Senate. Since all Senatorial committees are formed from the task forces these committees are likewise dissolved. There will, therefore, be no Finance Committee to form a budget. The Budget will fall into the hands exclusively of the Executive Committee. This bill will thereby tremendously increase the power of the Executive Committee, which obviously supports the dissolution of the Senate. Since the referendum came as something of a surprise to me the reasons I have enumerated above aginst voting for this amendment are incomplete. I’m sure many more procedural and philosophical arguments could be made against it. 1 urge you to consider my contentions for what they’re worth. If you are unsure of how to vote, please vote “no” since a “yes” vote will undoubtedly cause a major constitutional crisis. If you agree with my points, please remember to vote.

In The Spectrum issue on March 5, 1979, in ah article regarding Dr. Bunn and Dr. Feradotto speacking in Haas Lounge, 1 was quoted in the article as saying that “students were being hassled and screwed” by Fall ’79 implementation. Let me first say I do not deny making that remark. Yet there is a distinct difference between an “off the cuff” remark as that was, and dther statements that I had made which more accurately described my feelings on book: Larry Siegel & Stan Hart music: Mary Rodgers Springer implementation. My thoughts about the Springer implementation are that, ultimately, the students will gain by its implementation, but not in the immediate future. For next semester most students will be under a great amount of pressure and hardship due to the new curriculum. And this is precisely what the Springer Implementation Committee is working on, making it as easy for students as possible. Yet I do believe the committee will not be able to successfully deal with all these upcoming problems, and that at that point students will suffer. I feel the statement I was quoted on by The Spectrum was grossly inaccurate, and taken out'of context. I would expect more complete reporting of my statements in the future.'"'"Michael Berg stein SA Senator Springer Implementation Committee Remember the environment To the Editor.

Linda Cohen at You too commuters 8:00 pm To the Editor . * STAGE and Another health fee question This letter is in response to Cathy Cozzarelli’s letter of the 5th regarding the problems of commuter interaction with dorm residents. I was a Wilkeson resident and contrary to popular belief it is not manditory for all Wilkeson residents to have backgammon sets or eat peanut butter sandwiches. I disagree with your'conception that commuters have no other choice available to them but to go home to Mom and Dad. I made my decision to move on campus and my parents are only IS minutes away. Immediately afterward many of my “commuter” friends backed away. I had joined a “different world" was the way one of them phrased it. I have since moved home because of a problem with one of my roommates that was impossible to remedy. While living on campus, I called many people who were commuters and asked them to come over. What’s the matter with a commuter calling a dorm student? Cathy, why don’t you call your Wilkeson friend up and ask him to come to your house and thumb wrestle? 1 think a lot of your problem to the fact that you must make a definate distinction between dorm students and commuters. I have experienced both and consider both to have many positive advantages. UB is what you make it. So the next time why don’t you extend to dorm students the same kind of hospitality you seem to think should be extended to you.

And when the day comes, millions of Americans will be ready. Teased by a week of televised interviews and star studded specials, they will go about their daily routine, anxiously awaiting that evening hour when the 1978 Academy Awards are brought live, coast to coast, right into their living rooms. Like birthdays, the Oscars are an annual ritual. And like the accompanying grey hairs, they can be an annual disappointment. Announced on February 20, this year’s list of nominees promises nothing new. There are the usual nominations made out of sympathy or reverence for box office receipts. There are the usual omissions of names deserving recognition on the basis of talent and artistic worth alone. As an ardent follower of film told me, the Academy Awards “subscribe to the KJavjs There are no 'bests.' there is merely work worthy recognition. of Variety magazine notion” of what’s good and what’s bad. It is a value system based largely on media and box office popularity. When the two criteria also connect with artistic merit, as fortunately does happen at times, then everyone is happy. But when the Oscars are given out in a blatantly irresponsible manner as when Elizabeth Taylor won her first for Butterfield 8 because she critically ill at Awards time, or when John Wayne won his for an absolutely uninspired worn-lfi-the saddle portrayal of the good ole cowboy in True Grit well, that’s when cynics are made. No, you can’t please everybody when it comes to giving out awards. Last year, I held my fists clenched and away from the TV screen each time the overrated box office smash Star Wars swiped an Oscar from the underrated but more credible Close Encounters of the Third Kind. But if you understand that the pompous sounding Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is not the ultimate authority on film, then the frustration can be enjoyable. The Oscars are meant to be taken lightly. Why else would the show be glut with lavish production numbers going nowhere and risque remarks from the mouths of celebrity presenters? And who can forget last year’s classic example of bad 'taste with sweet Debby Boone singing the even sweeter “You Light Up My Life” backed by"a stage full of young sweet faced deaf girls singing along in sign language? No, you just can’t take it too seriously. It’s a lot more fun viewing it as a game show. Just root for your favorite players to walk away with the prize. This year’s entrants for Best Film are; The Deer Hunter (the season’s surprise critical and financial hit); Coming Home (unexpected choice because It was released almost a year ago and the Academy tends to ignore films not released within the last six months or so); An Unmarried Woman (also released almost a year ago but which was greeted with almost unanimous praise from critics and buffs alike who paid the $4.00 as proof); Heaven Can Walt (sharing The Deer Hunter’s high of nine nominations but as 'lightweight as the heavenly body played by Warren Beatty); and Midnight Express (I find it difficult to - — i be objective about films making glorified heroes and the Academy criminals into will find it too controversial to award). My vote goes to The Deer Hunter for reasons made known last week in The Prodigal Sun. And my guess is that it will win due both to its topicality and the timing of its'release. The Academy can allow itself to feel liberal and up to date at the same time. Conspicuous in its absence (and typical of the Academy’s thinking) is Terence Malick's Days of Heaven. An exquisitely Crafted piece of cinematic art, Days of Heaven (scheduled to finally open in Buffalo this weekend) is a film whose every frame is a film unto itself; so beautiful is its imagery and subtle its meatiings. Yet this turn of the century gothic tale of itinerant farm workers looking for the road to riches' is too artistic for the Oscars, and probably for anyone unwilling to sit and be softly lured away as opposed to being hit over the head with a message steeped in symbols. Though the recipient of both the National Society of Film Critics and the New York Film Critics Circle Awards. Malick (whose first effort was Badlands ) is not even up for the Best Director laurel. v Which leads us to another problem with the Awards. It has always been perplexing to me why the Oscar winning. Best Director may not necessarily have directed the Best Film which may not have the Best Screenplay or the Best Actor or Best Actress and so on. Consistency is not a factor in the choosing of the Oscars. But isn’t a film the sum of all of its parts? A picture is deemed good only if its components are good. How could Rocky win Best Film of 1976 when neither its screenplay or any of its performances were cited? According to Academy logic, Best Director John Avildsen fs such because he managed to direct an ”alk) ran” screenplay and "also ran” actors into the Best Film. Logic? This year, Paul Mazursky, the director of An Unmarried Woman, is left out of the running. In his place is last year’s winner, Woody Allen. Allen is nominated for Interiors, his flawed but admirable foray into drama, not even considered for Best Film. It is as if the Academy, in an effort to assuage egos, attempted an .even trade off. And so, If I took the Oscars to heart as I did at age ten when the sight of limousines pulling up to the curb with famous owners ready to exit and wave to the crowds outside the Dorothy Chandler Music Hall (to this day, I don’t know who she is) provided a thrill and I found Bob Hope funny I would be in trouble. It’s like being unable to enjoy your birthday, because your conscience tells you paper hats and presents have nothing at all to do with getting older. And what do subjective awarding of .“Best this or that" have to do with the true art of making films? Nothing, other than create competition among those who, ideally, should be supporting eath other in a shared craft, and to create a false standard. There are no "bests.” There is merely work worthy of *h recognition. Rut I too, am a lover of fun/ As long as the Oscars continue to be presented, I will partake in the game. And play with those rules set by the Academy. So on that second Monday night in April, you’ll find me, fists clenched and popcorn at hand in 'front of the television, rooting loudly for The Deer Hunter, Hal Ashby, Jon Voight, Geraldine Page, Christopher Walken, Maureen Stapleton and Deric Washburn to each walk away with the gold statuette. Anrf I will be disappointed if they don’t. I am allowed. After all, I know not to take it seriously. -Joyce Howe I V • . U Again. Sam tontinuas expansion Trying to bring new music to the people of Buffalo Play It Again, Sam 'Our goal is to have the whole country rockin' — by Andrew Ross — The exterior of the Play It Again Saip record store only hints at what ir contained inside. Respite the gaudy yellow paint covering this reconverted family dwelling,' the building’s facade implies that an Unassuming and sleepy establishment is housed within. Yet once inside, one is virtually bombarded with stimuli of many facets of the rock world. New wave singles and import albums, photo buttons, and hard to attain music magazines are jam-packed into the front section of the store. In addition to a comprehensive rock t-shirt display, the walls are completely covered with concert photographs depicting almost every band to play in Buffalo during the past few years. But most of the rectangular room is filled with record bins containing as “Play It Again Sam” implies, used records. A head shop is located in a back room. Although somewhat cluttered and visuajly overloaded, Play It Again Sam is a comfortable place to shop. Located at 1115 Elmwood Avenue near Buffalo State College, the store serves as a" meeting place for the surrounding community’s music enthusiasts, particularly those interested in New Wave. “You’ll never find turnstiles in this record store,’’ said owner Scott Flynn, "there is always a knowledgeable worker in the store who can help you find what you are looking for.’’ , / • ... . No disco Not surprisingly, Flynn’s disposition is reflective of his high stimulation surroundings. Along with business associate Steve Ralbovsky, he emphatically and energetically provided ' commentary on the local as well as the national music scene. "During the early 70’s, disco, with its dressing up, going out, drugs and sexiness, had an appeal which rock (of that time) could not equal,” Flynn said. "But now there are local bands playing original three-minute long danceable tunes, not progressive rock or songs with 18 minute-long guitar solos or Billy Joel cover tunes. We feel this is a more honest music form, one which the members of our generation can relate easier to than disco." “Also, rock and roll is less exclusive than disco," he continued. “Nobody is trying to outdress anybody; the rock and roll scene has a less offensive mentality. Disco will die, it has to, it’s too hollow. This will allow the rock and roll market to grow bigger and tp flourish." Flynn and Ralbovsky have organized a multi-faceted assault on the local music industry, aimed at propelling rock and rolj, to the top. Flynn has created a concert promotion company through Ralbovsky which negotiates contracts with musicians. The pah are interested in bringing nationally recognized New Wave groups into Buffalo as well as showcasing locally based bands. “We have a finger on the pulse of the music industry and plan on bringing groups to Buffalo that the other promoters wouldn’t touch," declared Ralbovsky, who was a Concert formerly Committee chairman at Buffalo State College and was the first promoter to bring Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, The Ramones, and the Dictators here.

Rumbling, ruminating, Michael forever seems perched on the edge of doing something. But, as he does rather little in the way of decisive, successful action, his heroic aura must be seen as another suit of clothes Cimino dresses his pompous intentions in. by Ross Chapman Blurry characterizations Michael Cimino’s The Deer Hunter is such a deliberate film, it undercuts its own rhapsodic imagery'and husky characterizations until the,whole jumble pitches into deep dishonesty. The film is the product of director Cimino’s blunt decision to deal with “Significant Issues in Meaningful Ways." There is little in this thudding three-hour muddle to suggest the powerful personal vision that invariably denotes real art. What we have are well-lighted sign posts pointing the way to themes Cimino probably pilfered from a magazine article. The falseness in The Deer Hunter ip like a bad smell: no matter how resplendent your surroundings might be visually, the foul odor drives you away. The film centers narratively and thematically on The relationship between two men, Michael and his %iend Nick. Michael is an aspiring hero who never makes it. Heroes are men who force the world to conform to their wjll, men who beat the Michael’s best friend, Nick, is played by Christopher Walken. His performance is halting and confused as if things had not been explained to him. Indeed, in an interview, Walken admitted that he “didn’t know what the movie was about.” Nick is at pnee Michael’s soulmate and the film’s emblematic victim. As such, he participates in Michael’s heroic affections but only intermittently. The exigencies of the splot have Nick descend into suicidal psychosis. Thus, Walken oscillates from sensitive strength and — wholeness to senseless, fragmented ineffectuality. Nick is a character without direction, though he is obviously being pushed in an unsavory one. Despite a modicum of affection for Walken's gentle face and earnest eyes, I preferred the Character of Michael.* Michael might be an ingenuine concoction, but he is at least fairly well defined. Nick and nearly every other character in the film is a kind of soft-focus blur. We cannot make out his features and anything in him. But even if we wanted to, the film stands between us and the characters. The effect of Cimino’s stagey camera placement in those set non-action sequences aside for quiet revelation is analytical. We observe but we can’t move in and feel the adding to their characters out ambiguity. The Deer Hunter lacks affection for its principals. Cimino seems to take a disinterested and impartial approach to his characters as, if they were laboratory specimens. The film also lacks humor. The characters exchange jokes and do aqsurd things but we neither laugh with nor at them. We can’t. Cimino insists on scrutinizing their wit for thematic content. When Michael, Nick and the guys get together in the local tavern after a hard day in the steel mill, they sing along with a jukebox blaring out Frankie Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You.” Cute yes, but in the wider context of the steel mill (just before) and the wedding (just after), the humor is sucked dry for meaning. After hours exuberance becomes sappy, escapist romanticism that eventually gets them into trouble. wary of investing - — — A dubious hero Robert De Niro as The Deer Hunter' Phony mysticism Despite two viewings of the film, 1 still have difficulty locating the motivations psychological or social for the behavior of the characters; Actions burst out like bubbles from a pool of boiling mud: we can see the activity but the pool’s opacity prevents us from seeing the source of this activity. The film is crowded with little surprises and minor jolts., “Where did that come from?” we ask repeatedly. “Why did he do that?" There’s a lot of ersatz mystery in The Deer Hunter. In one scene, Michael runs through the chilly, night streets of his small, Pennsylvania mill town, •stark naked. I guess we’re supposed to sit back and say, "Wow, Michael sure is deep!” But this is uncalled for in the wider context of Cimino’s mendacity.

He was an interlocutor, a 3 statesman, a loudmouth A while prior, Tosh had stepped out dressed flamboyantly, j perfectly, Medusa hair hypnotizing, tin star tied to a strand Mr.-Mesmer-shining, Mick Jaggering martial arts steps all coolly ’til r he preached what reggae is and how you, the audience, are supposed to § feel it The statement was the second most obnoxious thing ever to Z happen at a gig I’ve seen, second only to Triumph’s recent preaching S about rock. You hear move, listen, think, understand: You don’t need no book teacher. It’s there. Any )amal or Rasta, Ahriman and Mazda, good or evil, knows that We’ve all got our tin shack palaces though, and want to show them off. Yet I can see why Tosh wants to explain reggae music. He needs to share the heritage, which isn’t as popular as the universal emotions reggae so imperatively expresses. And Tosh is used to saying, ‘Do this, Don’t do that’ to give verbal power to the downtrodden people ()amaican/African). But presenting the folk music to Americans is Tosh’s way and after they hop to it, wiping sweat from their brows, they figure any revolution is passe, or fantasy, or chic. - - — Irony of music Tosh is no doubt treading a fine line between wishing for appeal and bastardizing his art. Kate and Anna McGarrigle have opted for the former but have produced the latter. And so has Herbie Hancock with jazz. It sure seemed like the Bastard Americans were winning the battle Friday night. And most of the crowd loved it. I'm not saying Tosh has become a worthless hypocrite because he uses funk and rock to move for success. The implicit message was there, politics and drugs, some sort of socialism without nihilism. But the consternation that comes with this sort of ambivalence, this sort of irony of music and message, let the reggae idea appear shaky. Everyone in Tosh’s band seemed to emulate some white artist (who got his from some black artist) much of the time. Tosh was Mick Jagger, keyboardist Keith Sterling was an upfront McCartney on electric keyboards with a monopolizing sound on "I’m The Toughest” (probably like McCartney on Mike McGear’s record). Guitarist Mao Chung and some white guy drew out intricate riffs like David Lindley’s drama on "Load Out/Stay.” Really, there’s nothing wrong with influence even if it’s emulation. Any singer who's creative wants to borrow from all mediums and gets a tingling excitement when he thinks he’s discovered a workable fusion. Tosh just became too involved in rock ‘n roll, that’s all. What’s good about this sudden 0\tertk&i'ing immersion is that it’ll probably be ephemeral because it’s so flagrant. Exuma and the Obeah men Perpetually holding a cigar-sized joint ‘tween his fingers like a cigarette, Tosh got the crowd dancing with the songs "Legalize It” and “Bush Doctor,” topics most young folks can appreciate the "importance” of. They understand Tosh’s fear and hope while fervently screaming appreciation. But when he sings of being an African, even if one hails from Jamaica since birth, the lauding was lessened. People swayed to the music, the beat, not to the mindful words. I wished foreign politics and fun would mix; they should on some level; they didn’t Friday night, despite Tosh’s wonderful, eloquent voice which enunciated the lyrics perfectly. But this was stunted by an the sound marched Trom left to right inadequate speaker system speaker towards the set’s end, sort of a speaker goosestep. See, everything comes alive in rock, specially for romantics. The even-handed playing of openers Exuma and the Obeah Men was better than Tosh’s, though their melodies weren’t as Ijstenable. The simple outfit of two percussionists and a guitar might seem meager at first glance, yet they provided calypso-like energy. With songs like “Rushing Through The Crowd,” “Mardi Gras Star" and “Mama Lie, Papa Lie," they both laughed and cried at their obvious misfortunes. Exuma, looking like Sun Ra, picked chords like he was caressing eighth that quickly and with passion. With "Africa, Land notes on strings Of The Lion,” they built to a sweaty climax with this regional song, singing acapella, making lion and hyena roars. Guttural but precise. Exuma and his men picked up percussion instruments and a homemade horn to move through the audience for communication’s sake. It was almost a Mardi Gras feeling. Overall, the trio played hard, breaking guitar strings and drum sticks, missing a few notes but never losing the energy which made them so likable. As for Tosh, I remember a song he didn’t sing "Maga Dog" done the mid ’60s. It was only underlyingly political: "Jump in the frying in pan, bound to fall in the f&e.” Better subliminal than overt. The overt becomes obnoxious, even boring. — CONTACT LENSES • Politics and romance - - �"H ate r -*■ »• ■%-m. mam J?* mm* - I * i m. w. * �Peer advisors to serve as link between students, DUE staff by Mitch Stenger Spectrum Staff Writer * * ""**■' **• ' YOUTH IS OUR CONCERN Die PIARISTS The Piarists are a Catholic Order of priests and brothers who dedicate their lives to educate the young.

Blatt asserted that the student counselors “will not be a wedge, but a bridge between students and their advisors.” Mealy noted that peer advisors will usually work with students on an informal “ad hoc” basis rather than by specific assignment, as the professional staff does. But Blatt maintained relationship is that not such a precluded. When a student’s personal records are required, the peer advisor must refer the student to a professional advisor since such matters are kept confidential. Blatt noted that much of the work performed by peer advisors will be in referring students to the appropriate source. According to Healy, peer advisors will not be highly involved in a student’s academic planning. However, they will help students provide with scheduling and career information. “For example,” Healy said, “a prospective English major could examine the job market for that through Since many questions posed to peer advisors will only require quick responses, DUE advisors are hoping to establish student advisor locations. One possible site is a table in Norton Hall bn the Amherst Campus. Another possibility is to have the Ask Desk currently located in the DUE office in Squire Hall and manned by professional staff turned over to student advisors. Such an arrangement would offer students a choice between professional or peer counseling. Blatt and Mealy also expect peer advisors to help incoming freshmen adjust to the academic areas of the University during summer orientation programs. Blatt reported that peer advisors during orientation would receive $325 (half of that received by the regular orientation aids) in addition to their room and board.

For Alfreda this all comes under the heading of demanding a day’s work for a day’s pay. Her supporters find this toughness appealing. She consistently wins the votes of what political consultants like to call the "urban ethnic fringe”; mainly Roman Catholfc, ethnic, working class people. They are typically Democrats but "socially conservative.” They see their homes, neighborhoods and institutions threatened by a myriad Of changes and Alfreda has taken up their cause. laying out almost half a million dollars total.

Furthermore, Rutkowski has no established public image outside of a football uniform. But he is articulate and attractive and with lots of money for radio and TV, a skilled political consultant could “package him as whatever is most sellable this year. The wild card in the deck may be the new-bom Right To Life Party whose endorsement Alfreda would like. “All 1 want is a line on the ballot,” says Alfreda who is fully aware that even if she loses to Rutkowski she could end up on the Right To Life Party line, in November. In that event, the two major-party candidates would face a maverick candidate with a strong personal following who would be running on the ticket of a one-issue party which has inspired fanatical support. What happens But Loyal supporters — In Buffalo, with its large Polish*, Italian*, and Irish-American populations, this ethnic, blue collar, Catholic vote is an especially strong and loyal bloc. A man Alfreda once met during a campaign told her, “I don’t care how many of my windows they break. I’ll still keep putting up your signs.” This year Alfreda is again bucking the GOP by opposing its endorsed candidate for County Executive, Edward-J. Rutkowski, in the September primary.

The exchange took place some weeks ago, as groups on both sides of the issue gathered in Washington to express their opinions about the 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion. Some days Commentary idiot? Or something grossly deformed? What would we say to the 4 5-year-old woman whose heart and visceral muscles were simply too weak to endure the strain of childbirth, endangering It’s not difficult to imagine the panic and despair that must have gripped a woman or girl who, before legalization, found herself pregnant and alone, unable even to divulge her situation to anyone, much less carry it to term.

Or, if he made an immediately lethal mistake, he could promptly deposit the body in the river.

It happened in Illinois. A doctor, regularly performing abortions, was approached and pressured by an anti-abortion group to stop doing so. Their initial attempt at moral suasion failed, so they returned. Again they failed. They then increased the pressure, but failed once again. Finally, to drive home their point once and for all, impelled by fervid moral conviction and a firm will to prevail, they took bold and decisive action: they poisoned the man’s dog. It may seem bigoted and unjust to employ such an example, but what better way to illustrate how fervancy can sometimes grow into fanaticism, and how constructive intentions can easily degenerate into disastrous results? Abortion, as a neccessary evil, is repugnant to almost every person’s consciousness. It’s just that, given what we know, the alternatives are so profoundly and decidedly more odious to consider. by KURT FEICHTMEIR AM MM TO OMET TOO, TODA Y -is the last day to vote on the referendum to ,.

Simply criminalizing abortion would hardly stifle the demand for it: anyone who thinks so is, begging you pardon, either an imbecile or a fool. The best guess is that abortions would be supplied by the same people who have always supplied an illicit product in strong demand: organized crime. And the money to be derived from underground abortions would undoubtedly make the revenues from their current drug trade look like earnings at a local crapshoot. It would provide the funds to make organized crime not the third largest industry in the country, as it is now, but far and away the — « • with knowledge knows that if Economic imperatives Leaving back rooms for a moment, what if the terrified girt did dare confront her father with the facts?

Moreover, what of the married woman who simply could not afford another child the welfare mother perched oh the rim of economic disaster, where six mouths to feed are six too many, and one more threatens utter ruin? And it was the poor, of course, who suffered the most before abortion was legal. The middle class, well-to-do woman certainly had money and connections enough to find a safe route to terminate her pregnancy. And middle class well-to-do’-s were and are inherently better educated about birth control, which usually obviates the need for an abortion in the first place.

I There are several glaring and bitter ironies native to the abortion debate; To wit; it is ironic that a great many of the people opposed to abortion are also opposed to sex education in the schools, and free access to contraceptives for people of all ages; it is ironic that many of the people opposed to abortion are strangely silent about the copious suffering now befalling the world’s teeming masses as a result of over-population; it is ironic that many members of the Right to Life movement don’t seem inclined to concern themselves with an unwanted child after he leaves the womb. Where, it might be asked, will the Right to Life people be in 15 or 20 years, when the unwanted child, having A dangerous proposal — Strategy on nuclear waste reorganize the banned. source of entertainment. - later, when passions had cooled a little, the two groups did agree on a meeting. Their prospects of finding any common ground though are slim to say the least. Abortionist. Abortion mill. Babykiller. It’s getting so the very sound of the jargon seems repellant and wearying. The moral fatigue setting in points up just how emotional a subject abortion is and how, as an issue almost crackling with divisive electricity,”!t promises to be with us for a long, long time. The arguments, on their surface, are simple and seemingly antithetical: anti-abortionists say that a fetus is a child, i.e., person, from the moment of conception; pro-abortionists say the fetus is not a person until it can exist independently outside the womb. Pro-abortionists argue further that, beyond the issue of “personhood vs. non-personhood,” (a question on which no one but the Almighty could possibly establish a consensus) there is the woman’s well being to consider. This “mother issue” is, judging from their literature, something anti-abortionists seem to relegate to a distant second in importance. The question of fetal personhood aside (for the argument inevitably reduces to a contest between utter irreconcilables) why should abortion be legal? First and foremost, if abortion is illegal, women die. They die from illegal abortions, self-induced or otherwise. They die because they become desperate, because they need an abortion, and they inside the uterus, affectively aborts the fertilized egg by preventing it from implanting itself in the uterine wall, there are serious questions as to their future legality if a Right to Life Amendment were to pass.

As the 1977-78 Mens basketball season drew to a close, it became increasingly evident that a coaching change would occur at the University ofBuffalo. After weeks of speculation, the UB Athletic Department reached a decision, appointing veteran Fredonia coach Bill Hughes as the new Bulls’ mentor. A native of Dallas, Texas, Hughes has left his coaching mark at various levels; from high school in Illinois to NCAA Division I at the University of Florida, where he was an assistant. Hughes became a student of the controlled offense at Florida where he learned the secrets of the “four-game delay" an offensive tactic patented by University of North Carolina's Dean Smith. Hughes enjoyed marked success at Fredonia after budding a leaving Florida, program that was ranked at the top of Division III in New York Slate. With his inaugural season at UB behind him, Hughes agreed to a lengthy interview reflecting on his season at UB as well as his deliberate style of coaching. In the first segment of a two-part series, Hughes evaluates the 1978-79 Bulls as well as his philosophy. - When 1 was a senior at Greenville College (Illinois), 1 thought at the time that talent had very little to do with the success of vour team. I thought that you could go with players who couldn’t do much right and still make them winners. I thought that coaching was about 70 percent of the' success degree. I went pn and coached in high school and revised that theory after I didn’t have any talent, thinking maybe you do need some talent out there. I got to the point where I thought it was about 6040. Then after ten years of college coaching, 1 thought it was at least 50-50. It boils down to what the player does on the floor. You take a team like Niagara University. Now, I’m not trying to take shots at Niagara coach Dan Raskin over there, but you take a group of talent like* that and give it to five different coaches. There will probably be two of them that will get something out of them. And then there will be one or two that wfll do an adequate job and they’ll win some. One of the five will probably really screw them up. The Bulls recently completed the season with a 7-18 won-lost record. Seven wins was one better than the previous season, but most importantly, a marked improvement of team play began to be evidenced in the latter portion of the campaign ' We wanted to stop ourselves from getting blown out. That happened only four times, when we were blown out by more than 20 points. But that’s four out of 25. That means in 21 other ballgames we were winning or being somewhat competitive. That was the first thing we tried to do. Under the circumstances, being totally new and having a bunch of new players, we were weak in some areas. We didn’t really think we were going to blow this schedule out. Secondly, we saw progress, mainly in those kind of intangible areas; like getting places on time, doing what you’re told and demonstrating positive attitude. We won seven and lost nine in the last 16 games. I think personally we should have won another game or two. I wish we had. But on the other hand, at least we made some improvement at the end of the year. Our guys were beginning to believe and see what we were trying to do would pay off. The plays, the offense we were running, would pay off if they’d just do it. A classic example is the trouble we had eatly in the year with the presses. We didn’t have much trouble at the end of the year. It was simply that we leltned over the course of the year to handle the press better. At least nine out of 10 times they (strategies) are the right things that should have been tried. They didn’t work because the players didn’t execute. Just like in the “four-comer delay game.” Now when Dean Smith first tried that crazy game, well, every time they’d lose, everyone jumped all over him saying “Smith blew another one.” Everytime he’d win, they’d say he ATTENTION MALES >100 per month extra money I don’t feel,like 1 know Nate Bouie very well. I’m not sure what the secret is to Nate. 1 look at him and I see his body, his jumping ability, his hands, his timing. He’s tall, he’s strong and he’s got the physical tools to be a super player. Then I think that he’s played for three different coaches (Bouie has played for Buffalo two years and Brockport for one) and it’s probable that everyone has told him something different. He’s probably confused by that. Tony’s a very mature kind df individual. He’s probably the most dedicated kid that we've got. If you could pick one kid that really wants to win in the worst way, that’s Tony. Everybody says they want to win, but Tony is willing to do more to do it.” The season stretches from the middle of fall to the tail end of winter. Tempers may flare, and a team’s success may suffer. If a player is not playing well, the very first place he looks is the coaches. “The coach is messing It’s very difficult for a me up player to say “I’m blowing ifc” It’s a lot easier to look around and find an excuse. You can show them game films and stats; you can sit there for hours and they’ll come up with an excuse. A classic is when we sat in the office the last week that Rodney McDaniel was with us and we watched the films of the Canisius game. There was one particular play when Rodney brought the ball down and (Mark) Sacha was on the other side. Rodney was getting a little pressure and he Hughes did nor settle into his until position officially September, although he was appointed late last spring. As a result, his recruiting was limited and acquaintance with his players came rather late. I’m a firm believer in not starting the season until October 15. The season is so long anyway, 1 don’t want anybody getting tired and worn out in the middle of February when games are coming up every other day. Besides, the mental fatigue of the season is really tough. Basketball has years. Buffalo dropped from Division I to III, and its appeal to the player and coach has left something to be desired. A NIGHT'S WORK; Whsthsr diracting the tempo of the game or silently watching, Buffalo bastketball coach Bill Hughes is totally angrosad in the action. During the Bulls' final contact last weak, Hughes never rested, instead the first-year coach was either cheering, teaching or thinking. —Floss threw a pass away. That thing had to be six feet above Sacha's head. He comes up with “It wasn’t my faulty it was a good pass.” With such common occurrences, is the coach actually to achieve full cooperation able from his players? There were no faults with this year’s playe/s. We got down oh a , UB recent The main reason I wanted to come here is that I feel UB has great potential as a basketball school, whether it’s Division I, II or III. I do not think that’s true about Fredonia. In part two, the discussion turns to the Buffalo press coverage of UB basketball, as well as the recruiting trials one must face while attempting to rebuild a dry basketball program. 200,000 seals will be slaughtered on Sunday, March 11 in Newfoundland.

Parker News Editor The Colleges’ request to allow approximately 30 of its courses to be considered as distribution options available to undergraduates has sparked a debate between two University academic Deans. Dean of Undergraduate Education (DUE) iohn Peradotto denied the Colleges’ request for distribution, while Interim Dean of the Colleges Claude E. Welch said that Peradotto’j, “categorical rejection” was done on the basis of pratically no direct discussion and he hopes'the Faculty Senate “might examine the key issues involved.” Currently, Colleges courses are allowed to offer distribution credit only if they are cross-listed with another University department. Under their proposal, the Colleges would probably have benefitted from increased student enrollments, greater budget assistance and a solidified academic standing in the University. Disciplinary scrutiny Peradotto asserted that regular departmental courses normally pass scrutiny at different levels departmental and/or Faculty or School before being forwarded to a DUE Curriculum Committee for approval. Although Colleges courses must also be approved by the DUE committee, they are not subject to the same interior level of scrutiny, said Peradotto. But Welch disagreed with Peradotto’s assessment, pointing to the faculty scrutiny and involvement inherent - — / Bodies of knowledge In his rejection- of the Colleges’ request, Peradotto explained that the University distribution guidelines were conceived “in order to encourage exposure to disciplines more or less in their regular and faculty controlled —continued on The Sp Wednesday Vol. 29, No. 67 / SUNY at Buffalo in the Colleges’ chartering process.

According to Director of Women’s Athletics Betty Dimmick, a number of athletes here have, or may face, ineligibility after only one bad semester, while still maintaining an overall QPA over 2.0. Presently, disqualification is automatic in such cases. But Dimmick and Men’s Athletic Director Ed Muto don’t think that should continue, arid they’ve set the wheels of change in motion. Directors seek appeal board to weigh athlete playing eligibility Only hardships Dimmick and Muto, in a December 8, 1978 letter to the Faculty Senate Committee on Athletics (FSCA), have requested the creation of an appeal board to weigh borderline cases. cases should be Only hardship for appeal, Dimmick considered commented. “We will be realistic with it.” FSCA chairman John Medige agreed that, if an appeal board is set up, only demonstrated candidates who have academic skill should be considered. “There was a rather tacit consensus that only people who came close to the present guidelines would be considered," Medige said. “We agreed that somebody with a 0.2 average probably has no business taking part in any extracurricular activity.” The matter is now under consideration the Faculty Senate Executive by Committee and by Dean of Undergraduate Education John Peradotto. While he has not yet received complete reports from either Associate Dean Walter Kunz or his Academic Standards Committee, Peradotto said he would be “inclined to be more lenient” in cases where an athlete has shown academic ability in the past. by Marie Meltzer Campus Editor 1.99 —for a baseball pitcher, it’s a remarkable earned run average. For a hockey goalie, it’s a fantastic goals against average. But for a varsity athlete at UB, 1.99 can mean the end of a season if it’s his grade point average. Student athletes here are students first, athletes second. At least that’s the way it’s supposed to be. But sometimes the system fails.

At UB, an athlete must earn a 2.0 grade point average and complete at least 12 credits to remain eligible for varsity competition. At least a dozen athletes have failed to meet that criteria here in the last two years at a school that is supppsed to recruit with its academic reputation. Many of those cases involved students with to competition. • - - Move to revamp SA Senate up for student vote today by John H. Reiss Special to The Spectrum An undergraduate student-wide referendum calling for the abolition and reorganization for the Student Association (SA) Senate will be held today, tomorrow and Friday. The proposed Constitutional amendment would dissolve the Senate as presently constituted, and reform it with the majority of new Senators coming from SA chibs and organizations. The new Senate is to be a provisional one, and has the responsibility of creating a new SA Constitution, which is to be put up for a student-wide vote no later than November 31, 1979. The new Senate would include: eight representatives from academic clubs; six representatives from service organizations; four representatives from Sub Board organizations; three representatives from special interest groups; two representatives from athletic clubs; two representatives from international organizations; one representative from religions organizations; and one representative from hobby organizations. Ridiculous and irresponsible These Senators will be chosen be caucuses of the various groups and will take office by Thursday,'March 1S. The Senate will also include SA officers, directors arid coordinators. This' represents no change from the present Senate. The resolution, drafted by student David Hoffman, lashed out at the present Senate, charging it with shunning its duties. It claims the Senate- is not a representative body of undergraduate students here and states that it has ignored virtually all 'of the major issues confronting Association students here. It holds that, “The Student Student Senate’s repeated ridiculous and irresponsible actions reflect negatively on the undergraduate students it purports to represent.” The majority of the current Senate is comprised of students elected from the Academic Affairs Task Force, the Student Affairs Task Froce, and the Student Activites and Services Task Force. Most leading Senators oppose the referendum, while most of the SA Executive Committee favors it One Senator commented that if the amendment passes, utter Chaos will result. He said that it will be impossible for -student organizations to meet, elect representatives, and undergo a smooth transition of power in so short a period of time. Inside; The New Right: a real danger?—P: 9 / The Senate and the SA Executive Committee have locked horns in a bitter power struggle throughout the year. Before resigning, former SA President Richard Mott called for student elections last semester which ousted Executive Committee members who were politically allied with the Senate. The Senate, meanwhile, has directed the majority of its efforts to invalidating those elections, increasing its power and destroying The Spectrum. The Senate almost unanimously agrees that The .Spectrum is the Senate voted to dissolve The Spectrum, and replace it with a new newspaper which is to be managed almost exclusively by Senators. The' amendment to abolish and reform the Senate comes to a student-wide vote after Hoffman garnered signatures comprising ten percent of the undergraduate population. ' , At least ten percent of the undergraduate population must vote on the measure with a majority approving it in order for the amendment to be adopted. In other words, if 1200 students represent ten percent of undergraduates, that many must vote, with at least 601 voting for the '/< measure. \ Polling areas will be situated at key places on both the Amherst and Main Street Campuses.

Siegel (D.-Brooklyn), Chairman of the Assembly Committee on Higher Educatibn, will visit SUNY Buffalo tomorrow to meet with University and student officials. Siegel’s visit com* at a special time for students, since the battle against a tuition hike now hinges totally on a legislative leadership. According to Karl Schwartz, Student Association President, SUNY student leaders from across the State gathered in Albany this weekend and heard Stanley Fink (D.-Brooklyn), Speaker of the Assembly, tell them he would support a bill adding $9.1 million to the SUNY budget if students could obtain a majority of the a assembly’s signatures on petition. The $9.1 million would eliminate the need for a tuition hike. rounding up signatures so they could make good oh Fink’s pledge. Siegel, meanwhile, has alsi in supportive th long-running battle against been tuition hike, Schwartz said. “He has been in the middle of the whole tuition controversy,” the SA President added, “and he’s a real friend to higher education. Any bill relating to tuition would pass through Siegel’s committee, he explained. —Buchanan Mark A. Siogol To meet tomorrow with SA officers Fink, of course, is a powerful influence in the Assembly.

In a letter to Associate Dean of the Colleges Carole Petro, the DUE Dean stated that “the claim of the Colleges that this or that course falls within the range of disciplinary lines so defined and monitored, is a mere assertion until it credibility ' through approved finds cross-listing.” In other words, Peradotto believes that the Colleges’ courses, which are interdisciplinary and extra-disciplinary in nature, should not subscribe to existing distribution guidelines, which are based on scrutinized disciplines. However, the disciplinary argument needs further clarification said Welch. He noted that some Colleges resemble departments, in their assembling of faculty teaching in a defined area, such as environmental studies or women’s studies, but at —continued from page 1— • - SUNY Buffalo have been established as Colleges “bodies of knowledge” not departments. Furthermore, a term used by Peradotto vary widely among reputable universities, said Welch. - — — Senate discussion Welch, who held Peradotto’s post here eight years ago, also noted that some departments “would appear to juxtapose several disciplines.” He explained that departments can exhibit, as do the Colleges, facets of several disciplines; artd therefore, Peradotto’s rejection of the Colleges’ request along disciplinary lines mandates further discussion a discussion Welch would like to continue with the Faculty Senate. The Senate, which set-up the University-wide distribution reauirement and the Colleges’ original charter. — declined to advise Peradotto in his decision whether College courses be allowed to fulfill distribution. Chairman of the Faculty Senate Newton Carver told The Spectrum that he would distribute Peradotto’s (rejection) memo to the Senate Executive Committee and ask what it intends to do about the decision. Both men agreed that with the 1980 implementation of a General Education Plan, the Colleges may have a much more active role in the University’s distribution requirement. However, Welch said, Peradotto’s “implicit suggestion that we should await revision (on the basis of general education) of the existing distribution requirement denies an opportunity all students currently enrolled in the University, and those who will enter in 1979-80, ought to eijjijy?" -**r- ONE DAY ONLY i mV'-: Today Mar. 7 * ri.

UB Counseling psychologist Gerald Thorner believes that most students who have a drinking problem refuse to acknowledge the fact, saying, “The increased use of alcohol is such an insidious process that the students involved they that have majority are a of unaware drinking problem.” Because of the widespread use of alcohol on college campuses, it is difficult to draw the line between student alcoholics and According “prealcoholics.” to Thorner, most students fall into the latter category. He explains “Large numbers of students drink without undue effect their environment or in their academic achievement or in their social behavior.” on Thomer notes, however, that students who alcohol are excessively use creating patterns of drinking that can eventually lead to addiction. Defining characteristics Alcoholism is considered a “treatable” disease. Like other diseases, its symptons tend to vary from person to person. It is therefore hard to pinpoint the defining characteristics of a student alcoholic. However, in Thorner’s recent survey on the drinking patterns of UB students, certain broad characteristics of “problem” drinkers, including irresponsibility, nervousness, and personal moodiness, ' emotional dissatisfaction, found. were In May of 1978,Thorner sent a questionnaire, designed to show trends at UB in comparison with universities, to 1000 randomly selected UB students, of whom 400 responded. Though each alcoholic is unique, a common pattern can be discerned in the development of a drinking problem, Andrew, a 'Sunshine House counselor, lists the various stages a potential through. goes alcoholic “A student starts off drinking socially and gradually begins to drink more often.

If we can persuade the State, not to take so rnuch, r we could improve the operation and aid the researcher.” But the State keeps demanding more money. And they’re not. always so about it, MacArthur reports. He said that before fiscal year 19; 8-79, the Foundation paid, by written agreement, $350,000 to the State to fund “University Governance” which includes such bodies as the Board of Trustees and the SUNY-wide Faculty Senate. This year, according to MacArthur, DOB told the Foundation that a for payment “University Governance” was no longer necessary since the Executive budget would foot the bill. However, the State increased their portion of the overhead recoveries by $600,000, from $1.8 to $2.4 million. “In effect,” MacArthur said, “we are still paying for the University Governance, but now we pay indirectly.” — - The Spectrum was stymied in After this starts the dependency on alcohol that characterizes an alcoholic." It is at this point that students start to miss forget classes, about homework and drink during the day, Andrew said. A current rise in the use of alcohol by young people has been evinced. UB seems to be part of this nation-wide trend. Only 29 percent of the respondents to Thorner’s survey had not been drunk since school started in September. According to Thomer, "A substantial number of students appear to get drunk at least once a weak with beer being the most common beverage consumed.” Contributing conditions Why are more students drinking? The answer is unclear and complicated. Thomer sees the social acceptability of alcohol as a contributing factor to its surging use and abuse. Easy access to alcohol on campus, at places such as the Pub and drinking parties run by student organizations, have added to the availability of alcohol and thus the potential for problematic developments. Other conditions at UB contribute to excessive drinking. Thorner names such things as “an environment lacking in collegiality ...” and the need to relieve tension produced by the University’s competitive inhospitable atmosphere. Students drink mostly for social reasons. It is a release, a good time. Of the students questioned about 45 percent said they drink with the intention of getting drunk. Thomer warns that “drinking to get drunk is one of thd early warning signs of future alcoholism.” “There are many Researcher finds social acceptability a cause of surging alcoholism Students turn to booze as scholastic soother campus problems associated with alcohol abuse:‘false fire alarms, criminal mischief, harassment, disorderly conduct and destruction of property,’* says University Thomer. Twenty-seven percent of the students said they had either destroyed property or been in a fight after drinking. campus Solutions to alcoholism are not easily found. Though the legal status of alcohol on campus has led to increased drinking, Executive Director of the Buffalo Area Council on Alcoholism Sutton Rachel believes that the banning of alcohol on can. pus will do little to alleviate the problem.

Schwartz charged that too much money is used by organizations for “parties, food and alcohol.” Schwartz did favor Wharton’s action to increase the tax limit as it applies throughout SUNY. “In light of the fact that the old ceiling was set in 1969, that amount is now worth about $37,” he claimed. “Other very small schools need additional monies to Less than ten SA .President for SUNY/Albany Paul Feldman said he has no intention of going to referendum with the increase proposal “at the moment, at least not until all clubs’ budgets are done.” He added that even if the motion does go to a school-wide vote, it will be for a hike of less than $10.’ The Albany fee, trend shows smaller State schools dependent upon the hike, while Student Associations of larger universities are either reserving decision on a referendum or, as is the case at UB, have already decided against it. Unchanged since 1969, the student mandatory fee is set by students at each SUNY institution. The hike to $80 originally requested ’by the Student Association of the State University (SASU) represents the limit to which students7 may be charged. The rationale behind the increase request, according to the SASU President Steve Allinger, was based upon the assumption that “inflation has eaten away at the quality of student programming.

That department then adds its remarks to the report and lists violations that should take priority. The report then travels to Facilities Planning which decides which violations should be corrected and how much money should be allocated for repairs. The journey of the fire code report then continues onward to SUNY Central in Albany for a final decision.

UB dees not have to follow the fire codes of either the City of Buffalo or the Town of Amherst. However, according to Hunt, his department “always follows the strictest codes of the NFPA, the State, and local municipalities.” Hunt sees inconsiderate and negligent students as the real danger on campus. “If students continue to set off smoke detectors by cooking in their rooms, pulling fire alarms, discharging fire extinguishers and not participating in fire drills,” he said, “then their pranks and apathy may someday seriously endanger their lives.” Movies of fire drills on the campus were taken by the Department to showcase dangerous actions by students and faculty. The films showed that students generally left through their habitual entrance even though other doorways were available. If the crowd ever panicked in an actual fire, the rush of bodies could jam an exit, causing needless injury, Hunt said. Faculty were discovered to be ignoring fire alarms. Movies captured the heads of instructors’ peeking out classroom doors to see if' anyone else was moving. When they were satisfied that no other classes seemed to be leaving, the movie showed the instructor remained with his class inside the room. Director of the Offices of Services for the Handicapped Bertha Cutcher expressed satisfaction with the procedure developed by the Department of Environmental Health and Safety to evacuate handicapped students during a fire. “I have not received any complaints from students,” she said.

I Vote Yes From the Gay Lib Front new constitution be drafted. It also, not at all incidentally, removes the current group of Senators. Now then, to politics. The SA Senate has, as we've documented, repeatedly passed ludicrous and dangerous legislation. In meeting after chaotic meeting, the Senate has clawed vengefully at The Spectrum's Editorial Board and at the SA officers, First note that there are elemental flaws S 5 in the structure of the Student Association | Senate that allowed the current group of i Senators to come to power, as it were. Then note that there are elemental flaws the SA constitution that allowed the | in | current group of Senators among others 5 to misuse that power. Thirdly, note that the referendum before the student body today through Friday will begin to correct these flaws that existed before the current Senate began its political dueling with The Spectrum and with the SA officers. The Senate draws most of its membership from the three sub-groups called 'Task Forces" Academic Affairs, Student Affairs and Student Activities. Never heard of the Task Forces? Neither have we, at least not to any significant degree. Because of massive apathy and poor leadership, the Task Forces have, for the last few years, become bogus mechanisms for assembling a Senate and have completed few, if any, "tasks." The present SA structure is, quite simply, outdated. It assumed there will be a consistently- high degree of interest in Student Association and that a cross-section of students will be attracted to the Task Forces. In fact, the opposite has happened. Narrowly-based interest groups have jammed the Task Forces just to gain membership on the Senate, warping the original idea which was built around flimsy logic at best. The constitution itself is a confusing, poorly-conceived document that bears at least some of the blame for the annual SA chaos. Efforts to rewrite it were underway before the Senate's attacks created the tense political environment we now find ourselves desperately-needed * > — — Editor’s note: the following letter was sent to all Undergraduate Student Association organizations by the Gay Liberation Front. It concerns the SA Senate’s defeat of a resolution that would have designated the GLF a Minority group. At the February 26 meeting of the SA Senate a resolution which would have recognized the SA Gay Liberation Front as a Minority Group (along with such groups as the Black Student Union, PODER, etc,) was defeated. We are outraged and disgusted by this overt act of bigotry, noting in particular, that all minority senators present voted against the resolution. Minority Senator Guy Gittens was quoted as stating: “The reason why we senators voted down the resolution .. is because we feel that their gayness is by choide, whereas minority people are born with certain characteristics that make them oppressed in this country.” In effect, he, is saying that gay people choose to be oppressed by being themselves. Neither Gittens nor'anyone else can state conclusively that homosexuality is “chosen” or “inborn” and therefore his argument is totally irrevelant. We believe that the minority senators betrayed their own cause by voting against the resolution. They seemed to accept the current white establishment definitionhf a minority, i-e. any group the white majority has chosen to call a minority, and not what a minority rcaHy is. Gays qualify as a minority in many respects: 1. We compose “less than half of the total population”, with official figures showing between 5-1? as being predominantly gay. 2. We note that the courts have always used the above definition in judging the status of an organization which is in question. 3. We are openly discriminated against in housing and employment. 4. In the minds of the white majority, the terms, “nigger, chine, spic, etc,” and “faggot” all carry the same amount of bigotry and prejudice and are all used to oppress minorities. In light of the October decision by the College Council to include sexual preference in the University’s non-discrimination clause, we view the action of the SA Senate as a blatant act of discrimination and we therefore charge the Senate with violating the just laws of this University. ynless the resolution is adopted, we will take one or more of the following actions: 1. call for the withdrawal of funding of all organizations opposing the resolution. 2. bring up the matter >vith the Student Wide relishing attack for its own sake. Yes, the Senate has attempted to for "dissolve" The Spectrum. Fortunately us and for the students this newspaper has gained enough autonomy to remain unaffected by the Senate's continuing attack. Thus, the referendum's passage cannot save us from a threat that carries no weight. We — — — support the referendum for other reasons. The endlessness of the Senate's efforts to destroy obscures the total absurdity in its actions. The Senate the "representative" actually believes arm of the government student newspaper ought to be run that a with politicians replacing journalises at the helm. It actually believes that it has final, ultimate and absolute power over everything — — related to Student Association, even over constitutional questions involving itself. And it actually believes that its work 98 percent of which, we feel, has revolved around attacks on The Spectrum and the SA officers reflects what the'student body wants from its government. We cannot agree. We cannot believe the majority of students have been fooled by these pseudo-statesmen who claim to be I'/T i rfT:. f K working for the student body. We are confident that students can see through the Senate's transparent leadership and can separate genuine concern from latent self-interfest; responsible inquiry from brooding witch-hunts; and cold fact from flaming rhetoric.

In considering a student health insurance policy, recognizing the needs of the entire-student body is critical. As a university community, we are all to a certain extent responsible for our fellow students. And, though their views may differ from ours, we should feel obligated to support the greatest measure of choice. In a university, the tolerance of dissenting opinions is, or should be, Sacred. By committing ourselves to this community, we commit ourselves at the least to some mutual concern including lenience to the needs of others and respect for their t considered decisions. A student health insurance policy is a collective means of. providing adequate and affordable health care for our community. In a collective arrangement of any sort, there is always compromise which benefits the whole. In this case, I feel it is clear that the inclusion of abortion coverage in the basic student health insurance policy is required by conscience in such a communal endeavor. As in any community, we must provide for the needs of other individuals. People are not autonomous and do not thrive in isolation and neither can a community thrive if it is split into - closed self-interested factions. Following the example of the Rights of Conscience group, I quote Abraham Lincoln, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” . Terry Van Meter y ' , �feedback esdaywednesdaywedn The referendum: In support In opposition by David. Hoffman by Scott Jiusto and Karl Schwartz Dear Student, Student Association Executives If The system of checks and balances within the Student Association has traditionally been weak. This is due largely to an electoral system which makes it extremely easy for a small group to seat many representatives on the SA Senate. This is a fault in the SA constitution, a structural flaw which has historically caused the Senate to be relatively unrepresentative, and thereby less effective than it should be. Never before, however, has a situation as dangerous as the present existed. A review of some of the legislation, passed by the Senate within the past year shows aVlear disregard for representing the student body. Additionally, it reveals a clear attempt by the Senate to gain unchecked power. This legislation The come when every one of the Undergraduate students in this University has to make a decision. Today at 10:00 voting stations will be set up across the campus and each and every one of us will decide first, whether or hot to vote and then how to vote on the subject of the Senate Reform referendum. I strongly encourage everyone to at least vote and 1 personally recommend that you vote for the proposal. In the past weeks 1 have rallied to hundreds of you trying to explain ray motives and reasoning for attempting a project such as tljiis, which is about to come to a conclusion. 1 hope that half of the thousands of you that I couldn’t talk to will read this and come to understand, if not support my f includes; tinfte has 1.

Issuing directives to SA representatives to Sub Board I to take action which is illegal under New ,v York State law. position. The greatest number of objections to my referendum have focused on my contention that the student senate is not a representative body of tne Undergraduate students. As is clearly outlined in my petition, my disagreement is directly with the constitution. Article I, Section 3 describes the present system for selection of most of the senators. In basic terms it says that the non-elected student senator is selected from the groups of people who attend the initial task force meetings at the beginning of school. Because of this system many deserving student groups, both recognized and external (commuters, off campus, dorm residents) are not having their interests represented. This to me . , is not fair. What I All these actions, plus too many more, clearly reveal a pattern of irresponsibility and destruction. The proposed resolution, will go far in establishing a more representative, responsible body. What is truly needed is a strong Senate capable of participating in a system of checks and balances with the executive and judicial branches. This means something quite different than attempting to destroy all authority those branches of government possess. A final note we have not involved ourselves in an attempt to restructure the Senate before this time because we feel that any such decision Would best come front members of the student body rather than from members of the executive. A significant number (over 1200) students have stepped forward now, however, saying that as the Senate is presently structured their interests are not represented and that it’s time for a change. The question to each has the Student Senate student now is the same represented you adequately? Your answer will hopefully be reflected in a vote either for or against the proposed resolution. program. am proposing in its stead is a two-phased Upon passage of this referendum, the President of all the SA clubs will be caucused and select reps, to the new senate. This group, in turn, being a more representative body will be charged with the task of rewriting the constitution so that truly everyone can be represented. Another big question has been why 1 have just gone out and rewritten the constitution myself. The reason is simple. I don’t feel qualified to make that great a decision for the students. Hence, I Have oreated the — proposed senate. My second contention, which has received some criticism, is that the senate has ignored the major issues. In defense of this stand, 1 point to history. There are three major issues facing the students. They are: the tuition hike, general education and the Springer Report. I feel if we as the student body of this University are going to act upon these problems, we will have to reorganize and start afresh. For these reasons, I appeal to all students, to vote for the referendum to reform the Senate. — Exercise in fantasy time of Coup, or by a trial in a military court. Mr, Mathur’s article is based on his own wild imagination. He seems to be the least qualified person to write anything about Pakistan. Mr. Mathur also blames the present government to be a harsh one and the Islamic Laws to be an institutionalized-terror. This is a cheap shot at the religious beliefs of Muslims. Islamic laws might seem repressive to Mr. Mathur but to Muslims they are rules of life. I also noticed that in the map of Pakistan the ahd so largest province, Balluchistan, was missing was Kashmir. What happened to Balluchistan and Kashmir? Are they not the parts of Pakistan? 1 myself being a Pathan was shocked to see the Balluchistan province missing from the map- of Pakistan. In his previous article, Mr. Mathur also portrayed ‘Balluchis’ and ‘Pathans’ as separatist which is quite contrary to the truth. In short, Mr. Mathur is completely misinformed and he is portraying a distorted image of Pakistan a thing not expected of a ‘Staff Writer’. I suspect Mr. Mathur’s intentions and suggest that he should not be allowed to write about Pakistan anymore. To the Editor. 1 would like to say something about - the of Mr. Mathur; who has written an article about Pakistan in The Spectrum (dated: — misleading conduct Feb. 28). Like the last article this article also seems to be an exercise in fantasy. This article, as the previous one, is nothing but a collection of misleading and false statements, Mr. Mathur suspects the impartiality of judiciary which i* well renowned for its justice; and which didn’t spare even Zia-ul-haq. And he had to go to the court, on one occasion, to clearify a charge against him. In Pakistan, Judiciary is quite independent of the government and on several occasions has overridden the Martial Law ordinances. Furthermore, six ouj of seven judges of Supreme Court were appointed by Bhutto and he himself stated his confidence in the impartiality of the court and the fairness of the trial. The trial was more than a fair one and for the first time in Pakistan history a convict tyas given a chance to clearify himself ‘in the court, after the trial, and - - before the decision’. These arguments are enough to prove the impartiality of the trial. If the government wanted to get rid of Bhutto, it could have been done at the i A.J. Afruii Harris: 100 hats to wear you read carefully the proposed Constitutional Arnendrftent, you will find without too much difficulty obvious generalities and wide open holes, all over. The whole document looks like a piece of swiss cheese, and smells like one. too. Ultimately, the new order would be less than the presently constructed representative Student Association Senate. First, let us look at the whereases. The first “whereas” states that “the Student Association Senate is not a representative body of the Undergraduate at UB.” Says who? The Spectrum ? Dave Hoffman? Karl Schwartz? Why is the Senate is the unrepresentative? Where documentation for this statement? All the members of the Senate have been elected legally and constitutionally, as has always been the case. Why suddenly should the Senate be abolished with the support of Karl Schwartz and the editorial editor(s) of The Spectrum ? (Maybe they feel their powers are being threatened by a recently awakened Senate.) The second “whereas” states “the Student Association Senate has ignored most if not all of the major issues confronting undergraduate students. It may appear this way only because The Spectrum refuses to print all the proceedings of the Senate meetings. A typical example of this, from the last Senate meeting, is the omission the next day in The Spectrum of the resolution asking Michael Pierce (College Council rep.) to ask the U.B. College Council to request the SUNY Board of Trustees to come to Buffalo to hold a public hearing on the tuition hike. NO, you will never hear about anything good that the Senate does. All you have to do though, is to read the minutes of Senate meetings to find out what really goes on. 1 will remind students that last Semester the Senate was allowed, by Karl Schwartz, to only meet four times, barely once a month. Traditionally, the Senate met on an average of twice a month. The Senate was- hardly given a chance to do anything period! Last Semester and this Semester, Rarl Schwartz ignored various attempts by different bodies within the Senate to convene the students repeatedly only representative body. Karl Schwartz prevented the Senate from acting on any issues. The Senate 'is not to blame for the lack of its meetings. Furthermore, it can easily be, shown from the Senate meeting’s minutes, that this constitutionally representaitve body, did act on the fngjor issues affecting students from academic issues to the tuition hike. The author of this amendment, to the best of my knowledge, only attended one Senate meeting. Who is he to make a judgement about the Senate acting on crucial issues? The third whereas states that the “Senate’s repeated ridiculous and irresponsible actions reflect negatively on the undergraduate students.” Since 'only through The Spectrum, the monopoly “student” press on campus (who claim they are a separate corporation), are students informed; it is The Spectrum who is responsible for the negative - portrayal. • Well, those advocating the aboliton of the Senate, Karl Schwartz, Dave Hoffman and some editors of The Spectrum are barking up the wrong tree. Yes, change is needed, but what is proposed is a less representative body. For one thing, there would be an absolute loss of 5 senators. Why should academic clubs be cut from the Senate while Sub-Board, a service Corporation with no constituency suddenly given half the representatioiKof academics? Well, at least International students will be represented, long overdue. The new group would be very restricted also. There will be no chance to elect (by the whole ' student body) at-large" senators. Undergraduates will have less choice and less democracy in their government. The Task forces, the only mechanism for grassroots student input would be eliminated. Grassroots representation and intiation of legislation would be gone. This new closed organization that is proposed, would seal the almost totally shut door of SA. If you think apathy'is bad now, just wait.

This year the mandatory with waiver Student Health Insurance plan included abortion coverage. The inclusion of this coverage has since met with a vocal and vigorous opposition. This opposition was organized by a university group, the UB Right’s of Conscience Group. As soon as these opponents of the mandatory abortion coverage presented their arguments an equally ardent voice in defense of the coverage was organized. This group, the Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse (C.A.R.A.S.A.) have defended what they term the righCof every woman to have this type of coverage. Most probably, you have all had ample opportunity to acquaint yourself with the arguments and ideas of both these groups as they have been presented time and again on these pages. Tomorrow night each of these organizations will be presenting their arguments both pro and con. I urge all UB students to attend to hear these viewpoints and to express their own. Obviously this is a complex issue to resolve. I firmly believe that it cannot be decided on the basis of numbers.

It merely serves as a tax exempt organization that is legally necessary.to administer the funds in certain federal grants. Since most federal agencies have their own close auditing system, that should be a simple process. It is not. - Dealing with the Research Foundation can add months to the time involved in managing a grant, it can squander hundreds of hours of time correcting problems that were created by the Research Foundation itself. In one recent grant of mine, for example, I hired a film editor. He submitted a subcontract which wds satisfactory to me and which fit the terms of the outside granting agency. In order for him to be paid, he had to get a Separate subcontract from the Research Foundation. This required him to send his specifications to them, a wait of about a month while they drew up a contract, his signing and mailing back the contract, and another wait until the contract would be mailed to him at which point he could submit his first bill. Somewhere in there, Research Foundation' attorneys decided to insert into the contract a clause prohibiting the editor from showing or discussing our project with anyone. That was not in his letter of intent to me, nor was it in any instruction of mine to him; quite the contrary, I wanted him to show as much of the footage as possible to as many people as possible so we could profit from the feedback. Why did the RF lawyers stick that clause in? We don’t know, since they never consulted with either of us. Instead of a five-minute telephone call that could have avoided all the - difficulties beforehand, they wrote a contract on their own in complete ignorance of our situation here. The editor and I both rejected the clause and the contract was sent back to RF. That was over a month ago and he has received no response at all from them and I have received no response at all from them. In the meantime, he can’t get paid and our project is stalled. The only people getting paid are the RF attorneys. I know of nothing the central Research Foundation does thal can’t be done equally well by people on this campus. The primary functions helping faculty members figure out overhead and indirect costs and acting as conduit can be be done locally quickly, economically and simply. But instead there is imposed on us a large organization that swallows money and gives little back. Another example; I recently needed $40,000 for a project that would have created a library resource for students at this campus. The grant program funding that kind of work had a maximum grant of $50,000.

Come to listen or . no facilities not in the primary expenditure was for salaries. But the Research Foundation required something like 62% overhead, which meant a grant total of $64,800 had to be brought in if this campus were to get the $40,000. We were cut out of eligibility by that overhead charge. As your article correctly pointed out, very little of that money comes back to this campus in any form. Very little of it seems to come back to any of the campuses in any form. A large portion of it goes to supporting the Research Foundation itself. operation now; the granting agencies. It is a thick, bureaucratic morass that contributes little to ongoing research and in many ways forces money away from the CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER JAMES MASON See you tomorrow come to talk The project would have required ' SUSPENSEFUL In another insurance related matter, Sub-Board I has found itself in the unusual and enviable position as the holder of over $50,000.00 in excess insurance premiums for 1976-77 policy year. This money was returned to us by the N.Y. Life Insurance Company with the stipulation that it be spent for the health care benefits of the campus community. Anyone with suggestions or formal proposals for the use of these funds is urged to contact the Sub Board 1 business officeat 112 Talbert or call 636-2954, as soon as possible.- This is a rare opportunity for people to make a positive contribution to the campus health care environment. Research Foundation: a rip-off To the Editor. THIRD realities of insurance regulations. Many accusations have been levelled against the Sub Board Board of Directors regarding the manner in which the insurance policy was formulated last summer. In an effort to avoid the time crunch we ran into last year, we are Stirling early this year. For the past month we have been working with the Insurance Advisory Committee and our insurance company to discuss what kind of coverage is feasible for the 1979-80 Academic year.. Tomorrow night we hope to hear from students as to how they feel about the present coverage and what changes they would like to see. Just what options we have regarding the abortion coverage are tentative at this time, however, 1 can assure you that the board will heavily consider any student feedback offered tomorrow night in future votes on next year’s insurance. As just about any other project director on campus, 1 could list miserable stories about relations with the RF all day. Sometimes we spend more time dealing with the RF than with the granting agency and the project staff combined. That is craziness, designed only to feed a bureaucratic entity that has lost touch with the people it presumes to serve. You may be aware that many SUNY/Buffalo faculty now find their grants througlr non-SUNY organizations. Some faculty have set up non-profit corporations, others have worked out arrangements with other foundations. I don’t know of anyone who has done this for person?! gain. The only reason for taking our grants off campus is because that is the only way the work can be done without enormous waste of time, energy and money. There is an unfortunate cost to this flight from the campus: portions of the grant funds that could be used to subsidize university space and university students now ajften wind up subsidising space and staff in those outside organizations. Because you cannot use university facilities for a grant funded through a non-university organization in many cases, faculty who would otherwise be on campus a great deal are often on campus very little. It isn’t because they prefer to avoid the campus, but only because that is the only way they can get their work done. There is one more unfortunate component to the flight from the campus of funded workers; it becomes almost impossible to inegrate many of those research project? with classes, and students are real losers in a direct way. One of the added advantages of a lot of projects is that one can involve advanced students in real problems, one can have them work on current 1 problems. Forcing us to do our work elsewhere means that students are deprived of that involvement. The Research Foundation operates as if it is accountable to no one. It establishes procedures unilaterally. It does not consult it merely announces. People who know nothing about the research problems or the grant situation sit in Albany offices and ship out orders, restrictions, demands, and bills. It gives little in return. The cost, in terms of whit is taken out of grants and what is forced out of the university, is very great. Bruce Jackson ' , ", birector Center for Studies in American Culture �MDUmitC^ OPENING LINfiS: Over the teveral weeks since Fascination's debut at the start of the current semester (encompassing six issues) there has been a heavy if not disproportionate concentration on coverage of international affairs. Beginning with this week's pullout we will try to redress this one sided balance and feature commenatries and analyses that are on issues a little bit closer to home, although by no means will we abandon international features. This week’s section has as Us theme social, political and cultural trends in America. Obviously we cannot offer an even close to comprehensive synopsis on a topic as complex and arcanO as this, yet we do make an attempt at offering a glimpse at where the nation has been going over the last decade and where it may be heading. Proqbbly the most discernible and certainly the most tortuously examined trend'in recent years is the rightward shift in American politics and in thinking on social issues. A lavish amount of media attention has been focussed upon this "New Conservatism,” as it is called. It is true, at least as far back as I can remember, that our country's self appointed political pundits and prophets have either been posing the question of whether there is a national lurch to the right or have been spreading the gospel of an entrenched conservatism as established fact. So after awhile we have grown rather weary of these alarms or good tidings; have it as you will, laying them all to self gratifying prognostications by Self importan t would be experts. revollers of Proposition 13 fame.” In this vein we have a rather derisive piece on the New Conservatism by The Spectrum 's newly-crowned Feature Editor Ross Chapman. Ross as you shall see is none too happy with the philosophy and tactics of the new "silent majority"gone vocal. Also in this week’s Fascination, Brad Bermudez takes the literature, art, and music of this decade labeled the "Me Decade by journalist Tom Wolfe for its inward looking and hedonistic earmarks. Bermudez critiques the cultural quality of the previous ten years as essentially a mixed bag. And finally there is my analysis on the changing look of the South, its rising economic prosperije, the concommitant amelioration in race relations, and the emergence of a new aggressive political leadership that has finally taken to tackling some of the South's longstanding and long neglected problems. -R.C. a look at ” greater vehemence with increased participation from the lifers and the tax public at large, witness the “right to The New Right Is it a relentless trend sweeping the country? by Ross Chapman with the minorities and the poor, and organizes “tax revolts” like In front of any of a number of California’s Proposition 13.

Those interested in furthering the liberal causes of the 60’s must recognize this if they rednecks marched on the same avenues and clamoured in the same squares as liberals did only ten years ago. The “silent majority” had found its voice. Many liberals pass off the New Right as “a bunch of nuts.” And although 1 would not say much for their collective IQ, I would caution liberals not to take these housewives and hardhats lightly. They have power. If you have any douqt, ask a gay person in Miami, ask a poor pregnant woman who needs an abdftion, ask a prisoner rural seeking to free women roles, gays from blacks from from discrimination, convicts execution, and pregnant women from prosecution (if they have an abortion) were also necessarily attacks on the old values that fostered the injustices in the first place.

Many grandiloquent theories replete with charts and tables have been scrupulously scratched down, hammered out on typewriters, and weasled into print. But I reject alt these as white elephants. The simple truth is that fhe New Right isn’t new at all. Throughout American history, there has been an ever-present and obstreperous hum of Christian conservatism. There have been many manifestations of this temptuous undercurrent: the Federalists, the Nativists, the Ku Klux Klan, the House Committee on Un-American Activities, the John Birch Society, and so on ad nauseum. But in each incarnation, there has been a pervasive Christian moralism and a patriotic chauvinism.

Just like books on a shelf, decades must be categorized for convenience. Tom Wolf conveniently labelled the ‘70s the Me-Decade, the decade in which attention was directed war, racial away from the group and its unifying issues strife, and ecology, to the satisfaction of the individual. This self-directed behavior of the ‘70s Generation has manifested itself in politics (the taxpayers’ revolt Proposition 13), racial issues (the implications of reverse discrimination demonstrated by the Bakke Case), education (the fierce competition between college students for high salaried and sec ure occupations). It’s easy to see why the Me-Generation has been unofficially designated the prevailing sociological phenomenon of the seventies. — - Undergraduate Prelaw Program June 11 to July 24,1979 Decade of diffusion It’s much harder to characterize the artistic and ''cultural contributions of the decade. Artists are in an A demanding six-week program position. Theirs is not essentially a pop idiom, but in attempting to interpret American culture, forced to deal with a pop-oriented society. If you look at art as a reflection of the society from which it emanates (rfrt imitates lifej, then you can supply the Me-Decade label to the world of art. Never has there been such a heterogeneous collection of art, music and literature as the Decade of that produced in the last decade Diffusion?

The artist has always been his own power generator his own source of taste and expression. There’s Rauschenberg with his chaotic combines loaded with ambiguity and uncertainty, a kind of paranoid vision of the future; there’s Lichtenstein, who blends abstract expressionist themes with pop-cartoon technique. - There are artists like Rosenquist and Close who expound from a an almost photographyc super-realism. And finally, there’s manifestai Andy Warhol with his overly simplistic objectivity verging that have on banality. Pynchon, European roots One could argue that American art has always been a victim of diffusion, a reflection of the melting pot nature of our society. There has never been a truly American school of artists or mainstream American art form. Abstract Expressionism is a form expounded by a number of American artists including Motherwell, Pollock, and De Kooning but the movement grew directly out of an abstract genre founded in Europe and spurred by the “father” of modem art, Pablo Picasso, All American-art finds its roots in Europe. The shadow of European artists looms over American literature as well. The desire among many contemporary American writers to break the ties of their prolific predecessors has produced a despairing yet cynical genre of literature labled Post-Modernist. The view of life m America expounded by writers such as Barthelme and Pynchon, the writers acknowledged to be the architects of future American literature, is indeed a dismal one Again, Me-Generation individualism is the dominant theme, but in literature, the individual striving to assert himself is only lost in the masses. Their books are as much about language and literature as they are about contemporary society the two are inextricably tied. Analogies are made between the plight of the individual in society and the writer who, in attempting to assert his individuality, is only trammeled by the fathers of modern literature Faulkner, Joyce, Milton, etc. Worst of all, they see no hope in the future. - — No survivors been Post-Modernist in fact dubbed the “Literature of Exhaustion.” Contributing Editor for the New Repuqlic Henry Fairlie went so far as to call it the decade of no survivors, “in art and literature any more than in any other activity.” He writes, “No previous decade in this century has been so barren of anything in art and in literature to which one might thin of attaching have a mi books ths Robbins, gamut fn literary occasions, mvestigati In n< of choice escalating recording dollar en conglome: eve the entertain because reflection Disco dru Disco created t phenome dwellers’ world, a working Voice essential communa competiti And, for self-gi market glutted tl entertain Studio The for theii President popularly known as the Sun Bell.

In no other artistic medium is there a greater freedom of choice than in music, perhaps because of the rapidly escalating consumption of recorded music in America.

The music industry created the ravishing demand for disco, but the whole of disco fever evolved as well from the urban dwellers’ desire to escape the doldrums of the work-a-day world, a desire for self-gratification at the end of the working day. As Andrew Kopkind wrote in the Village Voice, “Disco has many functions, but one of the most essential may be as a drug: it feeds artificial energy, communal good feelings, and high times into an era of competition, isolation, and alienation.” And, in an effort to capitalize on this burgeoning need for self-gratification, record companies have glutted the market with Bee Gees records, fashion companies have glutted the market with platform shoes and silk shirts and entertainment entrepreneurs have glutted the market with Studio 54s.

This nfew competent and progressive political leadership is well equipped tb deal with the vast opportunities for change that have surfaced with the transformation of Southern society via the desegregation programs of the last twenty years,-and the relentless trend toward industrialization. However, it must be pointed out that this new breed of political leadership hasn’t come out of the blue. Our President Jimmy Carter, when he was governor of Georgia, represented an important break with the past. Former Florida Governor Rubin Askew was also a progressive innovator. the wake of the outrages committed by recently departed Governor “pardon me boy” Ray Blanton. Blanton granted clemency paroles to 52 prisoners in state penitentiaries, many of them convicted murderers. Overall, these governors have displayed a remarkable commitment to reforming the old politics which placed a premium on political prudence, a prudence that dictated a maintenance'of the status quo in order to ensure re-election. Of course this dictum came at the expense of real performance. Irving Spitzberg, a processor of Educational Studies here who specializes in Southern politics and desegregation Spitzberg attributes a large part of the myriad changes in the South to the economic boost of the preceding two decades, a boost which happens to coincide with the large scale desegregation program that was imposed there by the federal government as a result of the landmark 1954 U.S. Supreme Court Decision, Brown vs. Topeka Board oT Education. The Brown decision mandated the integration ofKansas schools and subsequently the desegregation of all Southern classrooms. In 1957,it was severely tried and tested in Mttle Rock, Arkansas, when school authorities blocked the entrance of two federally escorted black students into first an Arkansas High School, and then a University. President Eisenhower, displaying a remarkable amount of verve, ordered National Guard troops in to ensure the admission of the spurned students. “What we have to keep in mind,” Spitzberg said, “is that court ordered desegregation has been in practice in the South for two decades. Every state was affected by the effort and it was far bigger than anything instituted in the North.” Dupng this period, the South has undergone tremendous attitudinal changes in regard to race relations. The stereotypical image of the Old South, replate with white hooded Ku Klux Klan congregations, lynchjngs, cross burnings and general barbaric backwardness is no longer valid. Economic expansion has gone a long way to defusing racial tensions, Spitzberg emphasized. Caught up in the new affluence Southern whites have, to a large part, put bigotry behind them, although it would be utterly mendacious to say that prejudice has been irrevocably eradicated. But the old state of arrairs is gone forever. In fact, Spitzberg relates the quality of race relations in today’s Little Rock, a city in which he has done extensive field research, are far better than those in Buffalo. Spitzberg sees the current trend of economic improvement and social transformation as continuing in the South while the North, in comparison, will persist on a generally downhill slide. Recent studies, however, have found evidence of a slowing of the recent trend of deterioration of major urban areas in the Northv ' '• - t . �2 I Neighborhoods having high redlining. concentrations of low income or minority residents arc often the victim of such covert boyyotts. These areas tend to deteriorate and become plagued with high crime rates, vandalism, and frequent arsons. Western, according to the protest filed by the Invest in Buffalo Campaign, has extended very few mortgages to minority arid poor neighborhoods. “They (Western) just want to take more of our money and spend it in other places,” says Anne Meisenzahl, a spokesperson for the campaign. Opposing the opening of a new branch is apparently a move designed to prevent Western from augmenting its ability to take more money out of the city. Said Bishop Leroy Anderson, Chairperson of the Invest in Buffalo Campaign, “We arc willing to withdraw our statement as soon as they sign and agreement with us for specific reinvestment actions. We want some kind of assurance that our money will be spent in the city.” r oss Chapman Frequent arsons /’ Reinvestment is considered important to the life of a neighborhood because it permits homeowners to maintain and improve their properties, thus preventing decay.

Sometimes, however, banks refuse to award mortgages and other loans to people living in certain areas, a practice referred to as Last week, the Invent in Buffalo Campaign, in conjunction with ten other local community groups, filed a statement of protest with the New York State Banking Department to prevent the Western New York Saving Bank from opening a new branch at 807 Elmwood Avenue. The Invest in Buffalo Campaign, an associate group of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), is interested in the flow of money out of Buffalo resulting from mortgage redlining. The group opposes the opening of a new branch because of Western’s poor reinvestment record in the City. While Western reinvested 60 percent of its suburban deposits in small suburban family mortgages, it invested only 8.9 percent of its city deposits in similar mortgages in Buffalo. This means, NYPIRG says, that the money that Buffalo residents deposit in their bank is not flowing back into the community in which they live. m2 y^jsa deal! get tskv* % Santana, When you goto see the red-hot Santana band during their current tour, you’ll m*. get a very special bonus. \ Eddie Money!

However, the Foundation is not the only institution which loses funds to the State. Individual campuses that sponsor research may also lose money in the process. UB, for example, 1977-78 during fiscal year incurred expenses amounting to $3.8 million in overhead for research projects underway here. Approximately $900,000 was returned to UB, with the money partially funding the purchasing department and the office for the Vice, President of Research and entirely funding the contract office. About administration $40,000 was used to help meet the costs of research. From a look at the figures it would appear that UB is slighted, but no university administrator was willing to go that far. Assistant to the President Robert Wagner did say, though, that “UB does not nearly get back what it puts in” overhead. Despite the discontent of the SUNY Research Foundation, federal officials said there is nothing they can really do to force New vYork to alter its procedures. Also, they said, New York’s system is similar to other state universities such as California and Michigan. John Jones, Special Assistant to Associate Deputy Commissioner of Education at HEW, said the matter is “entirely controlled by a state agency.” Jones explained that state law is the deciding factor in this case. “When it comes to the state’s distribution of funds, state law takes precedence over federal law,” he said. Jones added that most states have similar, if not the same, system as New York. | ' t's 3— • Imonisl Wing j . I page .. Mac Arthur, in last Wednesday’s The Spectrum, said the State’s demands for a larger portion of overhead recoveries has strained the Foundation’s ability to fund research programs. certain Illustration of this problem is found in the Foundation’s 1972 Annual Report. In fiscal year 1977-78, the Foundation was able to re-distribute $1.3 million baclj to the campuses for research and development. In 1978-79, .when the State upped its share of the overhead goodies from $1.5 million to $1.8 million, the Foundation could only contribute $1.1 million to research.

Completion of the Syracuse University Carrier Dome hangs in doubt as three local neighborhood groups have filed suit to prevent its construction in Onedaiga Supreme Court. The South East University Neighborhood Association (SEUNA), Home Owners Mobilized for Environmental Safety (HOMES) and the Outer Comstock Neighborhood Association (OCNA) have all requested that Syracuse issue an environmental impact statement and conduct public hearings before dome construction gets Suit filed to halt dome underway. The $26.7 stadium with $15 million being provided by the State s Urban Development Corporation (UDC) sparked a huge student protest against Governor Carey here last November. The dome has become symbolic of the continuing struggle for funds between private and public education in New York. The Syracuse homeowners believe that the city, county and University ignored the need to file an environmental impact study. Homeowners attorney Richard A. Schechter deemed the UDC’s decision to exempt the proje'ct from an impact statement arbitrary and capricious.” The UDC ruled that the effects would be minimal; and that efforts are underway to study the proqbems. Schechter remarked, “The homeowners want the dome to be by indicating that the dome has not only been approved by the UDC but by the Onedaiga Planning Agency and the Syracuse Planning Commission. Syracuse students have divided their loyalties on the issue. A spokesman for the SU paper, The Daily Orange, said, "Students are siding with the University in pushing for the dome’s completion but, we have editorialized that the University is shafting residents if it fails to look into environmental issues before it builds.” - construction in Syracuse planned before it is built.” Syracuse University (SU) has countered various accusations Reserved decision Syracuse Post-Standard reporter Bill Sternberg commented that the University believes the homeowners to be a vocal minority who are attempting to use environmental law as a means of killing the project. Most of the community, he said, “recognizes that the dome is a once in a lifetime opportunity and they would see the chance passed up.” Meanwhile, the demolition of the SU campus’ Archibald Stadium continues and is three quarters complete. Over $9 million in construction contracts have been signed and the University expects the dome to be completed by September 1980.

Read it and weep: UB cost increases analyzed Anticipated cost increases for attending a State University of New York (SUNY) institution have become a reality now that the Executive Committee of the SUNY Board of Trustees has voted In favor of a tuition hike effective next Fall. To make matters worse for students, boosts in room, board and fee rates are being considered. S' The following is a run-down of the expected cost of attending UB $900 for undergraduates (representing a $150 next year: Tuition : increase for freshmen and sophomores). For the graduate programs in Medicine, Dentistry and Optometry, a $300 increase will raise annual costs to $3,300. Law School tuition is up $200 to $2,200. Room Although UB Housing Director Madison Boyce officially projects rates to remain unchanged, the Student Association of the State University (SASU) predicted Friday a $50 cost hike throughout SUNY next year. Current annual room rates per person here $850 (single), $750 (doable), $680 (triple), $600 (quad), $530 (six person room). Board A five percent increase in present rates is “optimistic,” although no “definite standing can be determined at this time,” according to University Food and Vending Service Director Donald Hosie. Current operative rates per semester are $499 (19 meals per week), $480 (14 meals per week), $409 (15 meals per week), $385 (10 meals per week). Each school within SUNY sets its own board rates. Mandatory Student Fee : -$70 annually representing no increase from the current fee. SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton OK’d upping the limit to $80, but implementation at each individual school is subject to a student referendum. UB.Student Association President Karl Schwartz told The Spectrum he will not call for a referendum while he is in office through mid-April. $15 annual fee imposed last year will be Health Fee : eliminated.

University Director of Environmental Health and Safety Robert Hunt has responded inconclusively to a February 20 letter from the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) and Music Department Chairman William Thompson has called for an end to “timid solutions.” In a follow-up to its January 29 announcement that tiny asbestos fibers from the basement pratice room ceilings of Baird Hall were posing a health hazard, NYPIRG sent a letter to Hunt demanding action and “immediate alarm.” The Director’s seemed response, however, unrelated and noncommittal. NYPIRG called for Hunt to exercise his “unquestionable responsibility to the health and well-being of all University and community members” and eradicate “the asbestos hazard in an immediate and sufficient fashion.” To support its demands, the group relied on documented evidence of asbestos- related diseases. Hunt’s response to the demands refuted written claims brought up during the ongoing debate, but had little pertinence to NYPIRG’s correspondence. While agreeing on the necessity of ceiling replacement, Hunt disputed the reasons for the action. “It is our contention,” he said, “that for students and faculty, the condition in Baird Hall does not'constitute a health hazard as defined by scientists of Federal health agencies.” ‘No health concern’ Asbestos has been linked primarily to luiig cancer, but also to cancers of the throat, stomach, colon and rectum.

He said that people are refused . . “They don’t know what to think.” The faculty as a whole, Thompson explained, is intent upon speaking to an expert in asbestos dangers. “If an air sampling is suggested, we will take up a collection to have one done,” he said. Hunt, in his reply to NYPIRG, challenged the validity of air . ' samplings. Quoting a news article from the American School Board Journal Hunt stated, “Monitoring air samples to determine the risk of exposure is misleading and unreliable.” He also refered specifically to “the difficulty of getting accurate results.” ■ «■ , v Dept, of Modern Languages French Undergrad.

IRCB has several positions available: It had reached the depressing point this season when members of the UB wrestling sqviad were coming to head coach Ed Michael, curiously questioning the veteran mentor as to whom .would be representing the Bulls in an ensuing dual meet. Things began to turn so sour that a favorite quip from team members was, “Who’s it going to be coach, the equipment manager?” Such joking was in a light vain, but deep down it symbolized the disappointments the 1978-79 season had brought. As defending national NCAA Division III champions, this season the Bulls were tested early, lost a few matches and began to crumble internally ever slow slightly. Their demise was somewhat similar to what a baseball player experiences in the wake of an utterly outrageous year. If he falls off to any extent, specluation arises as to talent. But is it not uncommon for that special individual to rise to the occasion when everything is on the line, a la Reggie Jackson. Everything was oh the line for the wrestling Bulls. During the past weekend, Michael and four of his top grapplers touched down in Arcadia, California for the 1979 NCAA Division III championships, put in a superior effort, and came home with host of honors. Of the four, only Scot Slade failed to gain all-American honors. A third-place award went to junior Tom Jacoutot in the 118-pound category. It was a pleasant turn-around for the New Jersey native who last year lost his first time out in Wheaton, Illinois. * Four timer Equally successful was the unstoppable heavyweight, Paul Curka. Twice recognized as an All-American since transferring to UB, Curka lost after making a slight mistake in the championship round. His second place finish was termed a slight upset by Michael, who pointed out that he was seeded first in the unlimited weight class. ‘T would say it was an upset, but the other guy was seeded number two,” Michael recalled. As a favorite of the Clark Hall fans who turned out few and far between this year, Curka concluded his sparkling wrestling career in heavy fashion: four All-American titles; two at UB and two while in junior college. The individual who most demonstrated the ethic, “hard work overcomes any deficiency,” is 126 pounder Ed Tyrrell. While the rest of the Bulls were streaking towards the championship in Illinois a year ago, Tyrrell suffered an early elimination and failed to qualify for any individual standing. When trouble brewed this year and the Bulls floundered slightly, Tyrrell set a precedent for his teammates by working to the maximum in order to achieve his personal goals, which only helped the team more. “Ed’s been with us for four years,” praised Michael. “Much of the time he’s kind of been in the background, but now he gets to go to the Division I Championships. I’m happy for him.” After cruising tluough the competition, Tyrrell missed a championship when knocked off in the finals. His overall performance, however, earned the hard-working senior a berth in the Division I’s, an honor that went to only four of the nine Division ID runner-ups. What will this mean if he comes home with a title? ' rft. ftllA i. Business Manager 2. Controller 3. Purchasing Agent Brother act “We had six Division III All-Americans in wrestling last year, and one in swimming. This year we’ve had three in wrestling,” the coach stated. But Buffalo has never had a Division I All-American. Michael believes Tyrrell could be the first. Presently, Michael and Tyrrell are in the process of training for this week’s'championship in Ames, Iowa. No matter what the outcome, the coach has wrapped up this season in a nutshell. “I never had individuals work harder. Their accomplishments are a testimony to them as individuals,” he said. An interesting turn of events indirectly involving UB was the finish of New jersey’s Trenton State. The overall winners with 73V4 points, Trenton was led by the triumph of Mike JacoutotjTHe brother of Buffalo’s Tom, Mike was an All-American last year, as a member of the Bulls. ' .

Many women I interviewed were openly hostile to the idea of men writing about women. Said one anti-pom feminist, “Men just cannot identify with the gut emotional animosity women feel about their social position.” Sad enough, this is probably true. Nowhere is the journalistic fallacy of “objective reporting” more painfully evident than when men write about women. A man can take the same notes. A man can ask the same questions. A man can sit down in front of the same Smith Corona to type a story for the same deadline. But a man cannot adequately hammer out the same very non-journalistic, non-patriarchical stomach-wrenching truths about the condition of women in Western society as a women might. And, just about every woman I talked to told me that a man can’t At first, I ran scared. Every woman connected with a feminist cause seemed to be a man-hating lesbian, I feared (wrongly). 1 was spending more time explaining why a man rather than a woman, any woman, was writing about women. My notes were full of statements from women who felt that sexism runs so deep in our society that even the Bill of Rights should be disregarded. They said that freedom of expression is being used as a vehicle of aggression towards women. They said that lawyers and judges think this is Spectrum, ’ OK, but they, being men, don’t understand, and that things have to be changed. How can a male writer uphold his must sacred carte blanche the first amendment and at the same time claim that he understands the female condition? I don’t know. I don’t think I understand the full; implications of the First Amendment and 1 don’t think that I can ever truly understand what it is like to be a woman. About the only clear thought springing fronj this well of contradiction is this. Any generalization, any nonsubtle or expedient categorizing, leads-to whaPfemiftist* most harshly protest against; the objectification of human beings. Yet, some feminists arc also guilty of objectification, of men The most elegant form of feminism would be an all-encompassing Humanism. For example, SCUM (Society For Cutting Op Men), in their Manifesto, believes that “male reporters (should) be refused all interviews. We reject patronizing reportage.” While SCUM is certainly an extreme case, other women adhere to more subtle ways of objectifying men. It would probably be best for feminists to establish thorough working relationships with tjie male dominated press, steeped in a tradition of sexism as jt may be. Though this was not our primary goal, with this issue, the editors hope to have made some kind of contribution to the' establishment of free-flowing relations between women activitsts and the press. R.B. - — In celebration of International Women’s Day it is only fitting that we present a special issuifc devoted solely to female concerns and issues. What might ftot seem so fitting is that most of our articles aqout women were written by men. absurd, Before this is labeled incongruous, poorly planned, or mere coincidence, the reader should know how it came to be. Simply, most of our good writers afe men, a consequence of the fact that our staff is largely male .1 And so are 23 of our 30 editors. -7 Yet, from what I’ve seen in three years. The Spectrum's shortage of women writers and editors cannot be traced solely to the of the present sexual politics male-dominated hierarchy. The men respect and hold women writers in high regard, and those who are good have gotten what they deserve. Rather, I feel the Jack of women, in this office and elsewhere, is rooted strongly in women’s fears and insecurities about performing in a high-pressure, competitive atmqsphere fears which can crumble any or all hopes of a potentially rewarding experience. A 1968 study by Harvard University professor Matina Horner identified a pervasive “Motive to Avoid Success” among women college students; that is, a disposition to become anxious about — achieving success. Where the men surveyed responded positively to success cues, indicating increased striving and confidence in the future, women responded negatively, exhibiting fears of femininity loss and thus, social rejection. The women also were found to perform at lower levels in mixed-sex competitive situations. Ten years and many changes have passed since Matina’s study. Wemen are becoming increasingly eminent in still male-dominated fields. Vet this seems td have created a backlash effect, only augmenting women’s tensions as a whole. Our generation of college women did not really feel undue pressure to pursue a higher education; 'it was more or less expected, perhaps planned for, since we were very young. But we do feel pressured to succeed, to break records, to show men we can do it;,not just as well, but better. It’s not enough today for a woman to become a lawyer she has to argue a case before the Supreme Court. No doubt men have an effect on womens’ image of themselves, on their self-calculated chances and risks of becoming successful. We have been socialized to seek acceptance and nothing is less acceptable or more stereotyped than a loud, pushy woman. Many females have gone the way of the Sixties radicals in joining the system in order to beat it. Others have refused to take any part in the status quo and have closed themselves off from the professional world. Though the pressures upon us today are greater than ever before, the choice between going nowhere, getting ahead, and prostituting oneself to get ahead can still only be made by woman herself.

N Advertising Manager vX m mm —■ V.- * �Bias minimal once 'in' professional schools by John Clionna The number of women enrolled in UB’s protessional schools has increased six-fold over the past eight years (from five to 28 percent of the total number of professional students), vividly illustrating the spiralling trend of women assuming professional studies in universities across the nation. This increase reflects the ever-changing roles of women in today’s society, and women’s changing perceptions of themselves. In 1970, the\majority of women workers were secretaries, waitresses or teachers. But through the of the decade, promising fields sdch as Law, Health Sciences, Business Management and, to a lesser degree, Engineering, have been targeted by women desiring a professional course career. As more female professional students take seats in classrooms across campus, they are also forming organizations to aid women in defining their needs and concerns. Several of UB’s professional schools, including Law and Medicine, support such organizations yet they are not as well developed as that of the Management school. According to Chairperson of the Women in Management Association, Marline Buffomante, the increase in Women professionals reflects a growing awareness that alternatives to jobs in the secretarial or teaching fields do exist. Backlash Assertive and competitive behavior may foster resentment, however, when graduates try to establish themselves in male oriented fields. At UB, several seminars conducted by Women in Management have focused cm preparing womeir''for the initial shock and subsequent jolts of entering the male dominated professional world. The seminars have dealt with women in competition with men and other women, dual career marriages and how to ask Tor, and get, what you want. “Women are encountering problems in defining their own roles. Where a man is considered a woman is bossy. A man is strong but a woman is pushy,” said Buffomonte. And yet, according to most educators in professional schools here, the sex discrimination that a woman might expect to encounter once working in the professional world is not totally reflected in the schools themselves. “Dental students use the same locker room,” mused Dental School Dean, Dr. Richard Powell. He maintains that female dental students are “treated no differently,” noting that women are expected to manage transporting their own 40-pound assertive, instrument bags. Even throughout the 1970’s, dentistry has remained a predominantly male profession in the United States, as reflected in the consistently low percentage of female dental students. “Even though there aren’t very many of us, all the way around we get a pretty fair deal,” said dental student Liz Tarby, taking a moment between patients to speak to this reporter. “I haven’t experienced any discrimination as a woman in the dental program. I’m sure it’ll be worse once I’m out of school but I’m prepared for it,” she added. Specialty conflicts Medicine and Law are two schools that have experienced the greatest influx of female applicants in the 1970’s. “Buffalo has been very responsive to the idea of women entering the medical profession,” said Associate Dean of the Medical School here, Leonard Katz, citing the fact that females comprise one-third of the present medical school class. Although Katz sees “relatively few 'problems” for women within the school itself, he does admit that difficulties persist in specialty selections. “Where it used to be common for women doctors to specialize in such areas as pediatrics or internal medicine, lately more women have leaned towards surgical specialities and have encountered resistance from the older, more established male doctors,” said Katz. Law professor Grace Blumberg, who has taught here since her graduation in 197,1, maintains that UB’s Law School is not a true reflection of the total profession. “Today 1 see no blatant problems with sex discrimination within the School itself. 1 graduated from law school in a class that contained relatively few women lawyers. We were made to feel welcome then. But as Androgyny toward the'ideal' characteristics — the number of women law students increased in the 1970’s, there was some resentment among the male students.

Yet Blumberg doesn’t feel that women received a raw deal while earning their law degrees. “From my experiences, women in law school have had fewer academic difficulties than men. I attribute some of this to the fact that women are socialized to be more flexible than men and .are able to deal with the initial shoejc of the competitiveness of law school somewhat better than men,” she said. Torn loyalties One student, a member of the Women’s Law Student Association, problems of discrimination do not lie within the school itself. “I could count on my fingers the number of instances where I’ve felt slighted by my peers because I’m a woman,” she said, adding “What I’m more concerned about is what will happen when I’m out of school. 1 have a job working for a city Court judge in Buffalo and many of is physically '"strong, courageous, objective, and unswayed by emotions other than anger.

According to UB Social Psychology Professor Brenda Major, “The old belief is that a highly masculine male can’t have Continual society has characteristics associated with a woman.” The new belief, one which is gaining increasing recognition, is (hat a great many people have well developed male and female personality traits. They __ ■ are androgynous. Ideal state Androgyny is not a new concept, but it has gained attention in the last four ot five years. An entirely new field of research has developed, led by Psychology researchers Sandra Bern, who defines an androgynous human as one who has a balance of masculine and feminine traits; and the team of Janet Spence and Robert Helmreich, who believe that an androgynous person is both highly masculine and by Brad Bermudez feminine. Many psychologists have hailed androgyny, the blending of masculine and feminine the school, the added pursuing a degree in pharmacy and pharmaceutics as they have in other fields. ••••••• 1 IIIUUUI - within dimension of competition between the sexes is held to a minor note. “To a great extent, most men in the program are very supportive. I’ve never seen any overt dominance of men over women.” According to School of Pharmacy Dean of Student Affairs, Kaye Flickenger, over the past few years, women have comprised half of the total Pharmacy class. “Women really haven’t encountered- the problems « 11| 11j „ that in — highly Management students’ problems to family “Many of the women in the graduate Management program are mothers who have returned to school and are torn between loyalty to their families and their pressures. “A woman is affectionate, cheerful, childish, compassionate, flatterable, gullible, yielding, gentle, and soft-spoken. She is not aggressive, ambitious, analytical, assertive or athletic. She doesn’t act like a leader, defend her own beliefs, or make decisions The stereotypical woman’s role by Sandra easily.” Bern. “A the Sheriff’s Deputies give me a hard time because I’m a woman lawyer.” Citing a median age of 26-35 for women in the graduate Management program, grad student Buffomonte traces many female roles, as the ideal personality state. Indeed, the androgynous person appears to have the most desirable characteristics of both sexes. On a personal attribute scale, devised by Spence and Helmreich, the androgynous person has the qualities of independence, competitiveness, self-confidence, and drive while at the same time is emdtionaf, gbntle, helpful tovothers and understanding. However, not all psychologistsvadmit to the desirability of being androgynous. Said Major, “Spence and Helmreich 1 don’t feel that here’s any added pressure or distinction concerning women in the School itself,” she said. Engineering lacking Yet, Flickenger does admit that students have returned after graduation and voiced concern over instances of sexual discrimination while on the job. School of Pharmacy Student Association member, Kathy Niezgoda, remarked that women in pharmacy are helping to promote the professionalism of the degree, noting “Most men are in school looking for an employable degree. However, women are there looking to educate themselves in order to enter a satisfying career. Nonetheless, I’ll still have to fight harder to make the same dollar as a male pharmacist but I’ll stick to my guns. 1 don’t intend to be hired for less.” Despite leaps and jumps in female enrollment experienced by other departments, the Engineering Department here has realized only a five percent increase in female students over the past 16 years. Engineering Dean, George Lee, was tongue-tied in efforts to explain why. “The low figures of women in the department are definitely not based on the potential abilities of the female applicants. I really can’t understand exactly why there aren’t more women in the department,” said Lee, citing an increased demand for female engineers today. see that there are psychological advantages to being androgynous but they don’t idolize the state.” Opposed to the strictly empirical research approach taken by Spence, Helmreich and Bern, are educators Alice Sargent, author of Beyond Sex Roles, and Pamela Butler, author of Self-Assertion for Women. Sargent and Bulter’s books are an entire genre of literature women who wish to become androgynous. Much of the non-empirical research on the subject has been conducted by women. It appears that females have a greater desire to become androgynous than do males, especially in light of the fact that interest in the subject roughly corresponds with the rise of the feminist movement. Said Major? “This is probably because the traditional male characteristics are valued more than traditional representative directed of to female characteristics.” Self-discovery Sargent is a proponent of role liberation of men and women. She encourages working toward a “role-free identity encompassing both male and female characteristics,” , in short, becoming androgynous. The first step in working toward this goal, according to Sargent and Butler, is discovering the self. Both professors stress that self-discovery and self-assertiveness are necessary before androgeny can occur. To abandon role inhibitions, Sargent first If I asked herself, “Since I am woman I must were a man 1 could ...” The resulting list of masculine and feminine characteristics showed a greater number of female role-related responsibilities. Major feels that her own interest in the subject is one of the reasons why she was invited to teach at UB last semester. One of her earliest studies dealt with the relationship between sex roles and the fear of success many women share. “According to my research,” she said, “the androgynous woman had the lowest fear of success.” A recent study by Major, concerning other people’s perceptions of androgens, indicated a tendency for people to prefer relationships with androgynous others. Said Major, “There is a lot of research being done by this department on the subject. One of my grad students is looking at the relationship between sex role orientations and how they conform to expectations of attractive others. Another study is being done on the relationship between sex roles and therapy situations.” She added, “Now we realize that the sex of a person is a lot less powerful in predicting behavior than the sex role of a person,” - ... �In this decade of the independent, liberated, career-oriented woman, some females are forced to defend their positions in what have been stereotyped “traditional” roles. Cheerleaders, sorority members and little sisters of fraternities are sometimes condemned for violating the spirit of the women’s movement, yet, their defenses are strong and they view theinselves as working parts in the machinery of contemporary woman’s society. President of UB’s Chi Omega sorority, Sue Cifelli, termed her group “an organization of strong individuals who just all happen to be women.” She claimed that not all of the sorority sisters want to be housewives and said for herself, “marriage is important, but not equally weighted with a career.” Cifelli defined Chi Omega as “an achievement and career-oriented sorority whose girls are very academically minded.” She said, “It pushes women to be more than just 'Traditional' female stereotypes refuted by Elena Cacavas near that with a join a sorority.” UB football and basketball cheerleader Cindy Helsant believes that sorority sisters are more “liberated” than cheerleaders. She said, “Anyway you look at it we are still cheering on the men.” While Helsant admitted that some girls who cheer do fit the stereotype of being “swtet and more interested in guys than in education,” she Argued that the majority do not. Helsant cited a difference in cheerleaders of the 1970’s. “In effect,” she said, “it is another sport today. Now, women are chosen for their physical ability.” The Buffalo Jills cheerleaders for the Bills football is a 26 member «quad of women from 18 tp 31 team years of age. Aside from cheerleading, the Jills all have housewives, secretaries, waitresses some occupation nurses, sales clerks, teachers and gymnastics instructors. Jane Delaney, a member of the Buffalo Jji]s housewife, and a former sorority sister, also considers “A whole activity, just as much as cheerleading a sport - -- JU 10 foot ... football.” Delaney claimed that stereotyping only exists when the Jills are in costume and regarded it as ill-founded, “l or me, it is an escape from my daily routine. In that respect, it’s a liberation,” she said, adding however, “In school, 1 didn’t cheer and I think I treated those girls differently.” “I think cheerleading is good for the women’s movement,” Delaney continued. “It is another aspect of women in sports,” she said and then queried, “What’s the difference between cheerleading and baseball?” The Jill also pointed out that cheerleading was around years ago, before women were very active in athletics. pole.” Although she maintained that one cannot connect sororities with cheerleading associations, saying, “The whole reason for being together in each is different” Cifelli agreed that both groups fall prey to stereotypes. — House regulations President of UB’s Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority Terry Hall claimed women today join sororities “for themselves” and tHe associations they are able to make through them. She identified a strong thread of career-orientation and explained that many functions of the group pertain to honor programs and the like. Hall said that while she hears frequent criticism of she herself is one for Tau Kappa fraternity little sisters sororities are “pretty much respected.” Epsilon (TKE) She said, “a lot of people give us credit for sticking in there.” Cifelli supported Hall’s brief and credited “the strong moral sense of the girls” with allowing sororities to resist the reforms of the 1960’s. Chi Omega sister Laurie Atwood, while claiming that she personally wants to be a housewife, reported that most sorority women are career-minded. “We are not in college to leam how to keep house,” she explained, yet added, “I don’t think a girl among us would like to go through life Blonde and brainless Considering the relation between the cheerleaders and those they cheer, Helsant defended the former’s by referring to independence and that of sororities fraternity little sisters. “I was asked to be a little sister for TKE, but I didn’t want to be a complement to the guys,” she said, claiming that everything done by the “sisters” is for the fraternity. Another TKE sister Marla Greene, however, claimed she has never received criticism for her role. She said that girls she knows join “for the Tun of it and to meet new people.” While Hall agreed that being a little sister has many social benefits, she said she receives a lot of “flack She explained, “The girls in my sorority think the boys should do things for themselves.” Hall is also UB’s 1978 Homecoming Queen. She said this role was the only one she truly believed was stereotyped. “People meet me as 1 am and then find out my title. Then they say, “You have too many brains to be a Homecoming Queen,” she recounted. Hall said people expect her to be “blonde and brainless” because of the — - — — Atwood remarked that, in part, being “liberated” means having the right to choose one’s sex life and mode of living. She said that while regulations exist within the single.” Citing a theme in the Chi Omega song, “To be womanly always,” Atwood said she senses that today, women in general are afraid to be openly feminist. “1 think many people view that as too masculine,” she said. Atwood alsoisaid she believes the majority of her sorority sorority house no men above the first floor level, for example not all choose to live there. “Libbers say we’re afraid of men, that our values are Victorian. Some of the — — sisters have chosen to live this way,” she admitted. ‘Wholesome activity’ In defending the sororities sisters are “afraid” of radical feminists because of the bluntness that is felt to accompany the character. against being stereotyped a with cheerleading associations, Atwood herself used More news, more often W > - boy-crazy,” Although some sorority women are either oblivious to criticism or resentful of it, Cifelli said she understands its roots.

For white American women to stop (whether it be at office desks or kitchen tables) to seriously consider the lives of minority women — - The 'double take': a minority woman's personal view by Joyce Howe “Women who are afraid that talking about racism divides women have it backwards: racism divides wo/nen. Only by understanding and fighting it can .we move forward and win." -from “Racism in the Women’s Movement” As an Asian-American and a woman, I sometimes suffer from an identity crisis alien to those prominent in the Women’s Movement. The majority of .women who began the Movement we re-white and middle class: students leaning away from the male-dominated left or housewives turning away from lives devoted solely to the care and feeding of their husbands and children. Minority women became a group falling under the larger heading “Women,” and were recruited info the Movement largely out of a sense of the “white woman’s burden.” In a society where white is usually considered to be the norm, it has been difficult for white women to understand that the cultural differences between themselves and third world women should be realized before the question of sisterhood is even broached. We take time out from our daily routines to flip through the f>ages of a magazine. The large sad eyes of a little South American girl leap out at us from a black and white photograph whose accompanying text begs us to “give.” We are “movfld,” but how many of us are moved to action? It becomMMkougb to have given up the two or three minutes of attt[ntioa to the ad. In those fey minutes, we sympathize with this child’s plight another world awav but what of our own plight? If I "requires of them a willingness to relinquish time that American culture deems precious. with “those having common descent." Sisterhood is •v kinship based on the premise that by birth, all women are automatically allies. Minority women are individuals qualified by their sex and qualified by their heritage. Perhaps it would be easier to feel the significance Of sisterhood if men alone did the qualifying o‘f minority women. Yet, though such distinctions as “black fox” or “Spanish chick” invariably trip glibly off of men’s tongues, women are also guilty of classifying themselves. True separation? Confronted with the ever-present struggle to assert their own individuality and transcend sex barriers, white women think their struggle is every women’s struggle. But minority women must seek a dual acceptance because we deal with dual oppression racial and sexual. At times we become confused when to differentiate,, unsure if there is — even indeed a true separation. It is enough to attempt to leap the hurdle of our racial image without having the restriction of gender to transcend. Competition Recently, 1 heard myself being referred to as “that little Chinese girl” by the white ex-paramour of a male companion. 1 fight the “little girl” as 1 fight the China Doll. Said in jest or not, the comment is indicative of a certain attitude. Stares still pierce, from both white and Asian women, at any intimacy with a white male one feels 1 am invading territory, the other feels I am a traitor. The competition for male affection instilled in all American women becomes double edged. - When I was 16, I wondered for a while what it felt like to be Caucasian, to flirt with Jewish schoolboys without inhibitions due to “slant” of eyes or tint of skin, to be five foot seven with thick hair falling into waves and blue eyes whose lashes curled. 1 wanted to be like my friends: a long-nosed, ample breasted New York high school girl who would grow into the woman Maybelline and Cover Girl spoke to from my TV screen. There were no visible models for a Chinese teenager to follow, save the supposedly Japanese siren emerging from behind tropical fronds to sell men’s cologne or the sweet, round-faced wife of the '‘big shot” Chinese laundryman. American “culture” offered the Asian female two choices: the sultry China Doll or the kind and quiet girl/woman bordering on servility. Fringing bangs Frankly, I am no China Doll. No tight silk cheongsam, mandarin collared and slit up the sides, hangs in my closet promising Far East exotica. My black hair falls neither straight and fine down the length of my back nor is if the traditional short style with bangs fringing on the forehead. At almost five feet and five inches, I am tall for a Chinese woman. My size seven feet, with their preference for Wallabees to high heels and black cotton coolie slippers, scream against the binding of feet for feminirtity’s sake. Almond shaped eyes lie behind horjn-rimmed glasses hiding any mystery. In first grade, as part ofa lesson on brotherhood, my motherly Jewish teacher told me to take off my glasses and show the class how different the shape of my eyes were. As the only Asian in this racially mixed group of six-year-olds, I obeyed, only to be told in a disappointed tone, “Oh they’re not slanted enough.” I sat down, relieved to be deemed so normal. The racial stereotypes created and promulgated in this country make it hard for me to view sexism as the main threat to my personhood. When 1 walk down the street, I can more readily identify with the lone Asian male passing by than with any of the various women. From childhood on, kinship is linked with family, ... The frustrations of trying to overcome being both a minority and a woman can by synopsized in the current state of job and college recruitment. It is ironic that with the push for affirmative action, minority women are finally at an advantage because of our ability to fill two quotas. Though this provides many minority women opportunities they may otherwise never obtain (due to an economic disadvantage or cultural bias), it undermines the more important and enduring struggle to be accepta* for one’s own self. When a local publication rejected my nomination for a minority internship because they did not consider Orientals to be as much of a minority as Blacks or Hispanics, I was unsure whether to laugh or be angry. If accepted, my goal would have been to prove myself while qliota created or not worthy of any position feeling resentful of the necessity for this proof. And in the end, it is this resentment, if anything, that 1 share with the community calledwomen. For minority women’s sake and for the benefit of us all, I wish the burden of proof to be removed, at least in part, from those I wait in hope to call sister. — — Filthy smut: women 'hatred'in pornography Over past the cash register where Jim (the brother-in-law of the owner of this place, The Art-Book Store, on East Chippewa) is watching daytime TV, is the far wall which is splashed with books with names like Alice Who Came and Pussy Willows. Closer to the double door entrance hang skin magazines like beef on hooks. The bright, explicit pinks and peachy colors of the covers on the likes of Jatk Off, Big Black Bucks and Kinky Annual are harshly stark in contrast to the dull, newsprinty yellows of the stained ceiling and sticky floor. To Jim, this is Art. “What eise do you call it?” he defends. “You have a-naked broad in front of you, you don’t call it obscene do you?” He grins and wrinkles his large-pored, veiny nose and with his puffy hand flattens his mattened tinny hair. Many people do and always have termed the books and magazines here “obscene.” While The Art-Book Store has successfully remained open for 12 years, and has two companion shops down the street and around the comer near the Buffalo x Police’s Third Precinct and Mean Alice’s, it has been shut down and its employees arrested “countless times.” “A policeman will come irt and ask for the under-the-counter stuff,” Jim explains, “Y’knoww, the real hard core. Then he’ll take it to the judge who says it’s illegal.” Supposedly, Jim’s store, and most of the other “Adult” bookstores in Buffalo, don’t stock the ultra-explicit magazines anymore. The lawyer fees caused by the legal hassles cut into their profit margins, instead, the proprietors are pushing assorted sex-play what-nots like a life-size blow-up doll which Jim proudly proclaims has “three openings for your pleasure.” Women hatred While, according to a local owner, the only problems porn shops and mvoie joints around here have encountered arfrom the police, feminist movements are arising all over the nation to combat what one member from the Women Against Violence r- show this as the reality between men and women,” says Gever. “Sex and violence are what sells.” “No other group is subjected to this,” fumes Barbara Mehrhof of the New York City contingent of \VAVAW, referring to the enormous and widely-accepted exploitation women face. If, say, the Jews or Blacks were the victims of such large-scale cultural harassment, the laws and courts would clamp down in a minute, asserts Mehrhof. altogether, the majority assume a more relaxed stance, fearing right-wing repercussions against all liberal, non-mainstream forms of for example Gay expression literature. Robin Morgan, in an article published in Afs’s "Pornography vs. Erotica” issue last November, suggests several ways which would not “endanger the first amendment,” including pickets, marches, zoning restrictions, media lobbying and financial investigations of the major Non-mainstream expression However, while feminists no doubt concur that- pornography “pomocrats.” • <8,\V. i-'*' « Against Women (WAVAW) describes as the “hatred of all women found in pornography.” “It’s very important to get across to women just how much we are hated,” declares Martha Gever, coordinator of a Rochester based anti-pom group. Gever identifies Playboy and Penthouse magazines as pornographic, as well as almost any film today, “Pornography is about power and domination; and most movies ’ •. . infringes on their implied constitutional right of freedom from harassment, they hold no single line on how to implement their desires, due mainly to varying interpretations of the first amendment, which Gever admits is the movement s red herring, The first amendment, basically and ambiguously, guarantees freedom of expression. Although some women activists go so far as to demand the demise of porn — A major argument against the proliferation of pornography is that unnatu'ral and violent portrayals of women in film and literature induce similar mental abberations in society. According to feminist writer Diane E.A. Small, pornography objectifies women’s bodies. “Women become things. An essential ingredient of much rape, particularly by strangers, is this objectification of women,” says Russell. Camille Lc Grand, an attorney, elaborates, “Pornography teaches society to view women as less than human. It is this view which keeps women aS victims. Thus it operates in the same manner as sex crimes perpetrated women,” ditectly against Quick buck titillation However, in 1970, an 18 person government Commission on Obscenity and Pornography (16 men and two women) concluded that pornography “demonstrated (no) effects of damaging personal or social _ by Robert Basil nature.” Feminists, in turn, remark that the Commission was obviously affected by “male bias” and statistical laxity, as well as possible “pornocrat” corporate pressures. Film critic John Simon, writer for the conservative weekly, The National Review states that although the Commission’s findings opened the way for the production of sexually explicit movies, “opportunistic hacks whose sole aims are titillation and turning a quick buck” Are spoiling the reputations of “filmmakers who have important truths about sex to convey.” Simon’s analysis points to the major debate between what is erotic and what is obscene. “Erotica,” according to' Gloria Steinem, editor of Ms. magazine, “is a mutually pleasurable, sexual expression between people who have enough power to be there by positive choice.” On the other hand, Steinem describes pornography as being of an unequal, violent nature, consciously designed to subjugate women into inferior, humiliating positions with regard to men. The extent of this treatment ranges from media displaying women literally tied, chained, gagged and beaten to the more subtle thumb-sucking, fear-end-up images found in Oui and Club. Although there are no decisive statistics on how many women patronize smut establishments, feminists contend that very few do, pointing to the relatively diminutive press pornography aimed at women. �«0 and sisterhood, the Women’s Movement aimed at issues central to our liberation, raising public consciousness Fallacy of female who 'has it all' through mass demonstrations on reproductive freedom (safe and legal abortions without forced sterilization), adequate daycare and equal pay and employment opportunities. Overlapping results As the movement continued, we expanded our theoretical base. As differences arose over the origin of women’s oppression, so did differences over the strategies needed to achieve liberation and priorities for action. Socialist, radical, Third World, lesbian and liberal “Faster than a microwave oven. More powerful than affirmative action, Able to clean an entire home in a single bound, It’s a mother, It’s a worker, It’s SUPERWOMAN.’’ feminists form struggled to distortion of the Women’s Movement and the issues involved, it is easy to ■ look at the handful of woman lawyers and nuclear physicists, and declare that liberation is at hand. The media has rewritten the American dream, this time with a heroine, instead of a hero. Unfortunately, this new version, like the original, is a story of individual triumph. It ignores the context of exploitation in which women move, the material base of our oppression, and the societal benefits of patriarchy. Myth of success We, as college women, are particularly susceptible to this myth. A recent survey found that 64 percent of college women expect to have a career, marriage and a family, and foresee “little trouble.” But our past history of oppression and the present state of the economy mean that most women are doomed to fail in their attempts to live up to such expectations. Yet, thanks to the superwoman myth, this pre-determined failure will be turned inward and become a sense of personal inadequacy. For those exposed only to the mass media’s hype about the Women’s Movement, it’s hard to understand that its resurgence in the late 1960’s stemmed from specific conditions in women’s lives. Continued discrimination for the growing number of working women, an isolated life for the surburban housewife, and general disillusionment with this country’s ideal on our campuses, pushed us to join ranks with our sisters from the Civil Rights, New Left and Black Liberation Movements. We realized, however, that none of these took seriously our additional oppression as women. We understood that the prevalance Of discontent precluded personal blame, demanding, rather, political action. Individual solutions were worthless; but sisterhood is powerful. Through the feeling of strength Nuclear family ideal While some gains have been made, and many women continue the daily work of furthering our liberation, we are not reaping widespread gains from the struggles of the last decade. Rampant inflation forces more and more women into the lowest levels of the labor force, while affirmative action gains are being eroded, primarily affecting Third World women. With the Hyde Amendment, abortion is again the privilege of the financially secure; and gay women are losing the few Male dominationis bliss to the 'Totalled'woman These conditions make absurd the image of the “woman who has it all.” What can this glamorous image hold for the older woman struggling on a fixed income’’ Or the rising number of rape victims? What can the supermother, image mean to the lesbian who loses her children because she doesn’t conform to the nuclear family ideal? What does it mean to any of us facing a shrinking job market, after companies have all their token female and Thrid World employees in place? There seems to be a collision course set between the raised expectations of many women and the actual a movement responsible to all women. These struggles proliferated feminist research, projects, task forces and alternative institutions. Women demanded and developed health care facilities, rape crisis centers, community controlled childcare, shelters for battered women, to name a few of the areas of work. This trend towards single issue work leads to overlapping results. By focusing on single issues, it’s possible to lose sight of the overall movement, which recognizes the complex and major social changes necessary for real liberation. It also allowed the media to ignore the movement, since it deems hard work as unexciting and un-newsworthy. It shaped the issues that received attention, diluting feminism and negating the present work of the Women’s Movement. There also developed a strong counter-campaign by the “Right,” which uses feminism as the scapegoat for the present problems of our society, e.g. changes in the family and sexual mores. With a top-down strategy possible only with substantial financial backing, the “Right” has portrayed itself as a grassroots reaction to the Women’s Movement, concentrating on a few emotional issues and backing its stands with superficial analysis. Women, in general, have been targeted, but the strongest attacks have hit the most oppressed and vulnerable of women; women dependent on Medicaid for abortions, and lesbians without much legal protection to start with. Their positions, backed with Biblical quotes, have appeared so extreme that many people have remained complacent, refusing to recognize the serious anti-women threat they present. There are two races of superbeings in the media today. The superman myth is being used to sell toys and T-shirts, and the myth of the superwoman is being used to sell the American female a bill of goods. Women can have it all, the myth says: a rewarding career, a marriage and a family. Because of the media’s consistent protective laws they’ve gained conditions we face. Growing numbers of women who have dealt with these conditions are strengthening the ranks of the Women’s Movement, as was shown by the Houston Conference where many formerly radical proposals gained support and validity from a cohesive gathering of women. And, on this campus, it’s clear that we can’t take our gains for granted, as with the present fight to protect the abortion coverage. So, it’s evident, that as women, we must continue to struggle together. -Trisha Franzen, Alison Hicks, Andrea Hirshman, Zoe Zacharek Members of Women’s Studies College / “Let him know he’s your hero.” “Eat dinner by candlelight, you’ll light his candle.” “Have you ever complained with irritation, Ouch, why don’t you shave once in a while?

The woman’s place is in the home, Morgan relates, or more specifically in the kitchen when she has to be, in the bedroom when he wants her to be. thousands women have followed have been revived. The message is love him and he will love you. While this may open some eyes, the methods suggested may prompt some women to gouge Morgan’s out. When she speaks of male domination, she means it. Morgan says she thinks in superlatives. marriages Indeed she does. The titles of the chapters should give ..some indication of the character and fiber of The Total Woman (or was if The ■ Totaled Woman). They include such show stoppers as “Admire Him,” “Accept - Him,” “Adapt to Him,” “Appreciate Him” and “Hero Worship.” What’s contained in those chapters is even more revealing. Long live the king Morgan’s gems include: “Write down you have do everything to tomorrow...Many a husband is so convinced that this plan works that now, instead of asking his wife to do anything for him, he just writes it down on her master sheet.” 8 inn r after breakfast.” J.7P" J (My husband) has never brought < me a gift before, but this past week he bought two nighties, two rose bushes, and a °I,t ner' When you re organized andJ efficient his flame o. love will begin to flicker and > 1 ve stopped nagging him and started accepting him as he is.

The Man From Glad - �Upper academia: shutting out women In 1976, women earned 45 percent of Ba ? h?!?r s Degrees. 46 percent of all aster s Degrees, and 22 percent of all Doctorates awarded by U S. colleges and universities. , ret, in the illustrious ranks of higher education, in the arena of academia, the number of women employed as professors has declined over time. In 1930, 27 percent ol all faculty positions at U.S. colleges and universities were held by women. In 1970, t ey comprised a mere 20 percent; in 1976 women faculty numbered 24 percent. At this University, the figures are even more dismal. Accordfng to SUNYAB personnel files, women composed less than percent ol the faculty for the 1977-78 academic year 250 out of a total number of 1 336 faculty members. vvhat do these figures indicate’’ Are the reasons behind the meager number of women faculty, both at UB and - ’ • ’ - nationwide sex-rclatcd you are using,” she states If a woman is admitted to graduate school and successfully completes her degree, then she will encounter the next step on the discrimination ladder - differential treatment in hiring, Today, most hiring occurs only when replacements become necessary. When a faculty position becomes vacant at UB, the departmental chair is required to fill out an Authorization to Recruit form (ATR) which lists the requirements for the job, as well ,as the specific Affirmative Action search procedures to be followed. A copy 0 f the ATR is sent to the SUNYAB Office of Affirmative Action and Human Resources Development (AA/HRD) for review. If the procedures are deemed , unacceptable to Affirmative Action standards, the form is returned to the department with suggestions as to more appropriate action. If approved, the actual recruitment procedures may begin. discrimination! Although there is no clear-cut answer, *it is certain that Personal remarks v ft is at this stage that the discrimination against women and minority members is prejudicial practices in graduate program entrance, hiring, promotion and tenure have a detrimental effect on the number of women obtaining professor positions. pervasive. most Adtion Unfair queries The frist brush with discriminatory treatment comes at the graduate school level. Admission policies can be effective tools in the hands of both universities and departments. Interviews with graduate school candidates can take unfair (and illegal) turns by including sex-related questions in their format. SUNYAB Biology Professor Marjorie Farnsworth, also author of The Young Woman’s,Guide to an Academic Career, warns the female student against these unfair questions. “If unmarried, you will be asked, with or without tact, if you are planning marriage, and if so, when. Your desire for children will he most important. You might even be questioned as to the type of contraceptive Although Affirmative may be followed through, however seriously or perfunctory, there is no guarantee that the consideration of id«ntified candidates will be unbiased. Prejudicial practices and attitudes are manifested in various ways. The “old boy” system of recruitment may prevail within a department identifying and hiring those candidates who are acquaintances of members of the hiring committee. An inbred network is perpetuated in this way: procedures - the committees (predominantly white males) tend to choose candidates with similar characteristics and attitudes (also white males) who, in turn, choose applicants in the same manner when placed on their own hiring committee. Horror stories of unfair interviewing practices by hiring committees at this University are common.' Patently unjust , lines of questioning abound, as do private, personal comments. “One man (on the committee) constantly pressured me about being single, asking, ‘Do you. have a boyfriend?’ and ‘When are you getting married?' He finally laid off, but not until 1 was very flustered.” related a social science professor at this University. In another instance, a male departmental committee member described the attitude of his colleagues toward a female applicant: ‘Hey. let’s hire her. Site’s got big tits,’ one guy said.” “ Low rank y { by Susan Gray promotion within the department are the next barriers which women professors face* National statistics show that women hold only 18 percent of all tenured faculty positions; at this University, just 12 percent of tenured faculty members are women. The mechanics of tenure approval or denial are complex and offer many opportunities for discrimination to occur. Commonly Known as the “up or out” policy, tenure means the permanent appointment of a professor to a university or college. The newly hired, non-tenured professor is usually given six years in which to" prove him/herself worthy of a permanent appointment. During this lime a departmental ,tenure committee, com used of senior faculty members (usually men), judge the “track record” of the professor how many articles or books he/she has published, amount and type of research performed, speaking For the- small number of women fortunate enough to be hired in faculty positions, the next stage of discrimination lower rank and lower salary. 1«/ awaits general, statistics indicate that the higher the academic .rank, the lower the percentage of women and the higher the pay, again the fewer number of women. According to the National Center for engagements Education Studies (NCES), although Tlris procedure, which on the surface women held 24 percent of all full-time seems quite reasonable, can be the 5 faculty positions for the academic year instrument of a great deal of prejudicial 10 1975-76, they held only 9 percent of the action. Biased judgements of male and full professorships,. 1 7 percent of associate female tenure candidates’ qualifications professorships, and 28 percent of all can tip the merit scales in favor of men. assistant professorships. One UB professor, who wished not to be At UB, the relationship between women named, described her experience with a and academic rank is similar. Only 17 of tenure committee. “Even though 1 had the 466 full professor positions at this more publications than the man who was University are held by women (3.7 up (for tenure) opposite me, I was told percent), 76 of the 453 associate level they weren’t prestigious enough, not on ‘ professorships (16.7 percent), and 78 of the same level,” she related. She was not granted tenure. the 286 assistant professorships (37.5 — - ' _ percent). Salary rankings minor these figures. NCES figures for 1975-76 demonstrate that women faculty earned, at all levels, considerably less than their male colleagues at the same ranks. At the full professor level, women earned an average of S2.609 less than men, S831 less at the associate level, and $648 less as assistant professors. Discrimination in granting tenure and Slap on behind Tenure denial due to monetary considerations is also common. According to Professor Farnsworth, tenured faculty receive larger salaries, therefore it is more economical for schools to retain the services of a number of non-tenured professors for a limited period of time, then turn them in for a new “batch.” This “revolving door policy*’ is often applied to women at this University, Farnsworth stated. “It’s much cheaper for them to hire young women, keep them on for six years, then let them go and hire more,” she explained. > addition to these widespread, concrete forms of discrimination, there are covert prejudices which pose harmful obstacles. Verbal harassment, physical advances, and sex-related remarks are attitudinal forms of discrimination which women professors, must deal with In day-to-day. “All the women Ph.D.’s are called Miss or Mrs., never Doctor, no matter how long they’ve been at the University or in the department. Of course, the men are always addressed as Doctor,” Farnsworth said. One woman faculty member, who did not wish to be identified, stated that a male colleague on the tenure committee, “slapped me on the ass and mlde some cute little comment. What could 1 do? I’m up for tenure this year.” Role models The consequences of sex-related discrimination in the world of academia are far reaching for both faculty and students. Many women professors feel frustrated and hindered by the positions in which they are placed. Uncomfortable within a department and/or university, they lose the enthusiasm and drive necessary for advancement. Some drop out of the arena entirely and enter a new career while others remain, resigned to accept a subordinate status. One function which many women professors regard as crucial is that of being a “role model” to female students. For the first time in American history, women outnumber men among the 18 and 19 year-olds in college, and among rfie 20 and 21 year-olds tjie ratio is almost even. In addition, the fastest growing student population overall is made up of women aged 22 and oyer. Since the number of women faculty is not increasing proportionately, tern ale students’ heeds for successful faculty women with whom to identify may go unanswered. H is clear that the effects of discrimination against women professors are negative. Half of the world’s population, half of the world’s most intelligent people, half of those with the most promise, the most potential and talent, are women. It can not be in the best intellectual and educational interests of our society to continue to restrict the progress of women.

Five of the women died in this time period, yet no doctors from the study examined these women during their illnesses. At the 1970 Senate Pill hearings, the FDA admitted that approval of the Pill was based on “rather superficial” data, some of which was “little more than testimonial or opinionative in character.” Of 16 developed countries, the U.S. has the highest infant mortality rate, and a similar maternal death rate, due to hospital childbirth procedures. - - According to a Halph Nader poll of leading /f estimated one million women world Guinea pigs Even when standards and regulations arc enacted, the free enterprise system, greased with gold dust, seems to slip through every loop and hole in existence. For example, in 1974, a HEW regulation was passed protecting adults’ rights of informed consent to sterilization; a year later, an American Civil Liberties Union survey found that 70 percent of the responding hospitals were ignoring the regulations totally, 23 percent substantially Similarly, the 1970 Senate Pill hearings resulted in the production of a leaflet warning of the Pill’s hazards and a package insert of 600 words was - drafted. However, yielding protests, to drug companies’ the FDA cut the Insert to 130 words, eliminating the vast majority of cautions. An additional pamphlet, “What You Should Know About the Pill, published by the American Medical Association (AMA), has had only six million copies printed, although 100 million Pill prescriptions have been written in the same time period. Although studies have proven that the hormone estrogen, present in the Pill can cause blood clotting disorders, higher risks for stroke and artery destruction in the brain, while other studies have suggested that the Pill can cause among many other ailments liver and breast tumors, diabetes and gall bladder disease, doctors continue to recommend its use at a frequency of 7-2.5 percent of all birth control methods, according to a recent ■ - in use by an wide. pathologists, 50 percent of all U.S. hysterectomies are unnecessary.

According to women’s health author Kay Weiss, a leading medical textbook, Obstetrics and Gynecology, is a prime offensive example. The dominant theme in its 55 descriptions of women’s minds is Freud’s theory' that women, as masochists, need the nourishment of pain. This, “in an otherwise adequate medical textbook, explains much about doctors’ attitudes towards women,” Weiss wrote. The text portrays women as children, animals and rape-lovers in need of “enlightened physical intervention.” Obstetrics and Gynecology is a recommended reference book in UB’s School _f Medicine OB/GYN program. According to the publisher, this book was used by 60 U.S. medical schools in 1975. Female castration Complaints and Disorders, a 1973 pamphlet which has become the “Bible” of women’s health, asserts: “Medicine’s''prime contribution to’sexist ideology has been to describe women as sick and potentially sickening tb men.” The authors detail a cult of female invalidism which became fashionable among the middle and upper classes in the mid-19th century a cult througtf which doctors enjoyed increased business and women were disqualified from the healing professions. Indeed, at a time when .the basic pl\ysiologjcal law was conservation of energy, women were advised that higher education could be physically dangerous, as too much development of the brain would decay the uterus and destroy woman’s main function: reproduction. - Thus, during menstruation, a woman was told to in bed in order to focus her strength on regulating her periods, a practice many women still follow.

When women revolted against their bed-ridden states and attempted to subvert the sick role, they were “cured” by such techniques as leeches on the genitals, removal of the clitoris, or ultimately, castration removal of the - ovaries. Blame the system While the women’s health movement focuses mainly on medical bias and malpractice- against females, others feel that the system treats both sexes equally poorly. While acknowledging that women have been subject to much unneeded surgery, Sociology professor Barbara Howe reported that coronary bypass surgery in men, and tonsil and adenoid removal in children, have_ also reached monstrous proportions. She cited a clear statistical relationship nationwide between surgeon population and surgery per person. However, she asked, “To what degree are consumers tlemanding quick solutions and cures to their problems?” , As for the charges that physicians’ attitudes are as cold and their explanations as calculated as the instruments they use, Howe referred to Charles Dickens’ proclamation that “All professions...'are conspiracies against the laity; 1 do not suggest that the medical conspiracy is either better or worse then the (others).” Said Howe, “Part of professionalism is to feel that clients and consumers can’t understand. There’s a feeling that only those in a profession can make certain judgments.”-. Ellen Christensen, while noting that bad perceptions of gynecologists and birth control clinics are often deserved, said that most women who have been to UB’s clinic say “they’ve never been treated so well. Our doctors are all caring and concerned, and they like working with a college population.” The dedication of the elinic’s gynecologists, who all have' full-time practices, is attested to by the fact that they work almost on a volunteer basis. According to Christensen, each doctor receives $40 per night for seeing 24 women.

Preventive health programs, usch as those with nutrition and exercise themes, are relatively low-cost compared to drugs and surgical procedures and they can be provided by low-paid workers, like nurse practitioners and dieticians.

One nurse practitioner stated that the potential for women’s power within the system “is a touchy political problem. We’re assessing and managing our own groups of patients now,” she explained. “This is radically different from the historical view of the nurse as a hand maiden,” Harry Sultz, Acting workers in - - Chairman of Adjunct Health Kducation here, noted, “There’s still a lot of resistence to the idea of having nurse practitioners.

Presently, women’s health groups probably represent the most widespread health referral system outside the health establishment and their concerns have become more vocal since the inception of the National Women’s Health Lobby in Washington, D.C.

Coming out of the closet involves not only admitting to herself that she is different, but often means braving a dew of misconceptions and myths when family, friends and possibly professors discover Nancy’s sexual preference. Views ot lesbians from stereotypes of physical appearances to the idea that gays burst forth into the world during the turbulfent sixties, are not uncommonly held ideas at a university that for some represents an intellectual and liberal enclave, but for many others is merely a microcosm of a society that remains essentially hostile to this radically different lifestyle. Buffalo. Parental acceptance For gay women within the University, the inability to conduct a private life in the class.ooms and dorms, along with the fear of exposure by classmates and professors are daily, ever present pressures. With the exception of Madeline Davis, all of the women interviewed requested that their names be withheld, for fear of repercussions. For Jane A., the exposure of her gay life to strangers was not planned, but occurred when a classmate inadvertently read a letter Jane was writing. “It was a very bad experience," she said, “and many people reacted with very anti-gay comments. From then on, 1 made a point of hiding my sexuality.” Other women spoke of picking and choosing their confidants. “Before 1 tell anyone I’m gay, I discuss the subject in general with them and see how they react,” said one junior. According to Davis, coming out of the closet is a two part process. Tire first part consists of the woman admitting to herself that she is gay. The second part involves telling others. A woman will usually choose to reveal herself to one other person, who in most cases is a woman who attracts her. The next people to know are friends, and finally, in some cases, parents. Although parents are generally upset to varying degrees, the trend of the last 10-15 years has been toward eventual acceptance, although many never actually approve of their child’s chosen lifestyle, Davis said. Lumped together Another problem — * » According to the 1953 Kinsey reports, an estimated five percent of the U.S. population engages exclusively in homosexual relations. Figures on the number of lesbians in Buffalo and on campus are unavailable, but according to Madeline Davis, who teaches a course on lesbianism through Women’s Studies College, the Kinsey figures seem applicable to held at the "Unitarian Church, sponsored by groups such as Gay Rights J for Older Women (GROW), and Women Together, were mentioned as w among the best atmospheres in which women can gather. —■ Although several gay bars do exist in Buffalo, the majority of them h cater to men, Davis explained this by noting that gay women tend to go out less than male homosexuals. Bars that are geared toward women # are also the frequent targets of closings staged by authorities, she said. § Davis attributes the pervasive lack of education on homosexuality | as the prime root of the' fear, hostility and misperceptions that o surround lesbianism today, Due to the scarcity of knowledge, stereotypes continue to persist. The broad spectrum of the many different aspects that homosexuality embraces is frequently overlooked. “Anyone from a priest to a s nymphomaniac can define themselves as straight, but all lesbians are S lumped together,” one woman said. “For the sake of expediency, too 5 many people define lesbianism as based solely on sex.

The women questioned viewed the decision more S often as being a positive choice toward women rather than a negative S. . “ choice against men. 2 Davis, who, in conjunction with Avra Michaelson and Dr. "s' Elizabeth Kennedy of the American Studies Department, is currently preparing a history of the lesbian community in Buffalo, says that a S strong lesbian movement has existed in Buffalo since the 1880’s. Contrary to popular opinion, lesbians did not suddenly appear from nowhere during the sexual freedom of the 1960’s and 70’s, 2 although the presence of the women’s movement and the outspoken emergence of many minority groups were influential factors in inducing many women to come out of the closet, she remarked. If the early 1970’s were a period of liberalization and acceptance for lesbians, marked by political advancements in breaking down discriminatory laws and progress in fair Federal legislation, then the late 1970’s are likely to be marked by the wave of conservatism that is sweeping the jiation, Davis feels. Characterized in its most extreme form by the likes of Anita Bryant and right-wing groups such as- Right to Life, the conservative backlash threatens to lead to the defeat of local protection statutes and also to the stagnation of progress in Federal legislation regarding housing and employment discrimination. Davis predicts that the gay movement in the 1980’s will experience a rise in educational activities, but will suffer from a lack of growth in political activities. ’ Tomboys' become bonafide athletes Title IX, proposed by Congress in 1972, implemented in 1975 and strictly enforced by the 1978, concisely summer of legislates equal opportunity for men, women, boys and girls in athletic areas of education. equity these However, guidelines based on dollars spent per athlete, not per sport.

Ask the average man what he thinks and he’ll tell you how cute she looks in roller skates. Not that she’s not a superb singer, but There are, without a doubt, talented women in the field. However, most of them suffer from typecasting singing love songs, perhaps playing an instrument or two, and all looking rather attractive.

There’s Bonnie Raitt, who can hold her own in both Rock and Roll and Rhythm and Blues.

And yet if a woman makes an artistic statement from a uniquely female viewpoint, her art is catalogued “feminist.” As painter/writer Rosalyn Drexler explains, “1 don’t object to being called a woman artist as long as the word ‘woman’ isn’t used to define the kind of art 1 create.” The presence of women in the arts is categorized two ways in the Library of Congress: Women artists and Women in art. While useful for libraries, this distinction unfortunately duplicates the general perception of women in the arts. Art has a curious habit of mutating life and vice versa so the distinction between these calagories merges when one looks at the totality of the female impact in the - arts. For example, in terms of our commonest encounter with the visual arts, a motion picture, many women and critics feel the strengths of celluloid illuminaries Joan Crawford and Kate Hepburn in the 1940s have had no equals since, despite the recent consciousness of the woman’s movement’. Coincidentally this high point of the image in, film corresponds to the period immediately before and after World War II. Women, mobilized to keep things running on the homefront amidst social crisis, were required to have so-called masculine qualities of leadership and assertiveness, only to be female by Ralph.Allen * Feminist art more stable times rolled around The, speed with which this happened almost suggests is some little switch by which "masculine” and that “feminine” qualities can he flipped on and off. Either that or it is our system of assigning certain qualities to the sexes that proves to be artificial and/or arbitrary. Art may imitate life but given half a chance it may also initiate it. repressed again when Driven into obscurity In the fine arts, a situation exists where the climb to notoriety has only recently begun to have a semblance of acclamation based on skill alone rather than skill, race and sex. As late as 1850, no female nudes were allowed into public art achools and even in 1893, "lady” students were not allowed into the life drawing class of the Official Academy of London, a foremost art school of the day. To be deprived of this ultimate acceptance was a message to the female artist that she was not totally accepted by her colleagues, much less the society at large, as a serious artist. The most driven woman artist would be shunted into the “lesser” areas of landscape, portrait or still-life painting. Titus, historically, the salons, the competitions, the apprenticeships with established artists in short, the commonly held training needed for proficiency, much less greatness simply did not accept women. The women who did surmount this thick discrimination (Rosa Bonheur, a 19th cetnury painter of animals, for example) found it difficult to reconcile their acceptance into the male enclave with their femininity. Ms. Bonheur’s adoption of men’s clothing, close-cropped hair and other “masculine” traits, like her contemporary George Sand, probably arose from a greater identification with the established masculine order of artists. Linda Nochlin, a professor of Art History at Vassar, speaking on the apparent parallels between noted women artists and the general atmosphere of their times, suggests that “women artists and writers would seem to be closer to - - other artists and writers of their own period and outlook than they are to each other." J • u Risque H f In the sophisticated 20th century, discrimination or rather, non-recognition of talented artists who are not white, middle class and male is much subtler. There exist in New York, the mecca of the visual arts, two primary systems for artists the big name galleries the Marlboros ami Castellis of the art world and all they entail a ready market for a finite commodity; and the alternative spaces: the lofts pf SoHo (an area populated by young artists), the woman’s co-ops, the politically oriented collectives and public programs. Rarely do the twain meet, The problem with the latter is that it keeps artists on a treadmill of bare subsistance and little acclamation. And while an artist must have great confidence in him or her self to carry on the work, invariably an artist desires a reputation. The alternative gallery route does not bring this in anything other than a very temporal sense. The artist paints, but the frustration is there. A few years ago black artists, rather token black artists, were the vogue due to social conditions. They made it into some of the better galleries and yet now it is hard to find even tokens. This shift of what was fashionable to collect left some black artists hurt and bewildered. For any artist to be played up because of fashion and not because he or she is good is a cruelty worse than anonymity. In some respects, “women’s” art has become fashionable in a bohemian sort of way. Dealers say it’s a bit risque in terms, of collecting, but it’s socially approved. The whole situation feels uncomfortably similar to that of the black artists. Artists who aren’t part of the system have an obligation to not accept being merely fashionable, but to become unreservedly great, and to be noted as such. As beings affected by art, we owe it to ourselves to look and consider first and categorize later, if at all — $P q 9 c - f | - - T g “ go £ o ° I* § §■ 2 S — 2 * establishing goals of individua Film misconceptions: 'Popcorn Venus' to 'Popcorn Amazon by Ross Chapman fabric of commercial moviemaking. Until then, it’s up to us to vocalize loudly about what we want, to support it when it comes along, and to boycott those movies which disregard or do injustice to the image of women,” she asserts. Movies have always been a form of popular culture that altered the way women looked at the world and reflected how men intended to keep it. Money, entertainment, anmorality were inextricably Intertwined, yet often they worked at cross-purposes, creating a Cinema Woman who has been a Popcorn Venus, a delectable hut insubstantial hybrid of cultural distortions. -Marjorie Rosen Feminist qualification Let’s take the first part of this exhortation. Ms. Rosen and many other feminist theorists seem to assume that women filmmakers will liberate the Cinema Women from With the rise of the big,movie studios in the late 1920’s and 30’s, women were deliberately and systematically excluded fronv the writing and directorial laced irito old molds. True male emotionalism and open male friendships are taboo. Vulberability and fear in male characters are still equated with cowardice and moral decrepitude Homoeroticism is verboten. The male star is still the aggressive, good-looking, lusty, and macho guy. aspects of filmmaking. This has meant that, with a few exceptions, the image of women projected in the darkened theaters of America has been shaped by men. This undoubtedly has affected the mythological features of the female in American cinema. Marjorie Rosen, in her lengthy and effusive book, Popcorn Venus charts out in great detail the many incarnations the male-molded image of women have assumed over the seventy years of American film. From the innocent waifs of silent pictures (like Lillian Gish) to the sultry temptresses of the depression years (like Marlene Dietrich) to the bitch goddesses of Jllm noir (like Joan Crawford) to the blonde, buxom bimboes of the fifties and early sixties, Rosen sees a pernicious influence on the lives of women claiming that women embrace the often stilted and confining icons on the big , screen of.the local Bijou. Though there is an undeniable morsel of truth in this view, the morsel is immersed in a nimbus of problematic assumptions and outright misconceptions. Rosen calls (quite rightly) for the end of the blackballing of women in the film industry and also for women to use feminist discretion in their choice of films. “Women filmmakers with a sense of their own history and a political perspective on the future must become integrated into the feminism creating new stereotypes? Perhaps the answer is not feminism but individualism. Variety in the cinema’s depiction of women will not only inhibit across-the-board typecasting but also provide for artistic (i.e. personal) depictions of women rather than idealogues. Sexist stars The .second half of Marjorie Rosen’s admonishment is also problematic. There seems to be a recognition here that women ticket buyers are heavily guilty in the propagation and encouragement of female cinematic icons. But there is also the attitude (and this is borne out in the body of Popcorn Venus) that the very notion of the star is sexist. Even stars like Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave are reviled because they are too “glamorous”-and sensual. Gloria Steinem, feminism’s biggest star, has written and spoken copiously on the deleterious effects of the star on the mental and political well-being of women. But boycotting films featuring stars would be totally ineffective, not only because women, feminiat and otherwise, would refuse to, but because it would involve boycotting every film. A film without a siar is almost unthinkable. Stars are inevitable; they are born whenever a the sticky, sickly clutch of the Popcorn Venus. But this is not at all apparent. Though men have dominated the film industry for over a half century, the image of men is still Rosen, however, adds the qualification that the female filmmakers must have “a sense of their own history and a political perspective on the future ..” However, politics is always perniciously extrinsic unless it proceeds from something intrinsic. Feminism, as a form of politics, is subject to this rule. If the mere presence of women filmmakers is insufficient to exorcise the Popcorn Venus, then Rosen’s qualifications indicate that feminism is the necessary element. But this is a mistake. “Feminist films” and characterizations in recent years have failed doubly: they have succeeded only in creating new stereotypes, new corsets to strap cinema women into and, further, they have . camera falls on a face to which it is kind. - We go to the movies not to see what'we ought to see but what we like to see. And as long as we do that, we are going to happily pay to watch and to love the mythological beings called, in appropriately celestial terms, stars. True, women have' been dealt an unequal hand by the male dominated film industry but this isn’t going to be corrected by instituting a feminist-inspired code of failed as art. By relying casuistically on feminist censorship. principles, filmmakers have created ingcnuine ideologues rather than true-soulcd characters. Movies like An Unmarried Woman, Julia, The 'Goodbye Girl and Coming Home fail in their characterizations because they give polemics priority over personality. And where the personality does peep out, it is only because the shabby polemics have worn through. Can it honestly be said that limiting women to strong and independent types is freeing cinema women? Is not . L < This will only create new stereotypical icons (Popcorn Amazons?) and will eviscerate art in a-thicket of ideology. 1 agree: things must improve. 1 believe this, not for political reasons, but because women are, above all, humans, many of them with the gift of art. The film industry must provide equal time for the hearts of women. But I say: leave the movies alone; they will change when we do. �* •» � s 9 Dancing, acting, singing: 'out of the mainstream' Among the arts, the performing arts hold a curious place; in a sense, they are considered women’s domain. While in theater the ratio of men to women begins to parallel society, in dance, especially ballet, women have a near monopoly on greatness. The strong presence of women (especially in light of their relative obscurity in other arts) has been attributed to the peculiar demands of the form. “Where there is a need there is a way once the public, authors and composers demanded more realism and range than boys in drag or piping castrati could offer, a way was found to include women in the performing arts,” said Linda Nochin, Vassar Art History professor, “even if in some cases they might have to do a little whoring on the side to keep their careers in order,” It is that “little whoring,” among other things, which belies the appearance of parity between men and women in the performing arts. Whoring in the 70’s is possibly more subtle than it has been in the past, but acting, whose history in the western world has been associated with prostitution, has never quite escaped that taint. .. , Segregation Why is there a women’s theater? Partially, to deal with that taint, perhaps, but there are a great number of better more positive reasons for its existence. Ntozake Shange, one of the most visible female artists to bring a different vision to mainstream theater, one rooted in a female consciousness of this less than perfect society, admits she has segregated her work for now: “the collective recognition of certain realities that are female can still be diverted, diluted by a masculine took it to women, much like i presence, yes. i segregated mjf work wd take fresh water to people stranded in the mojave desert, i wdnt take a camera crew to observe me. i wdnt ask the people who had never known thirst to dome watch the thirsty people drink,” she wrot. Women’s theater can say, “It’s all right to be a women.” As simple as that message is, it has been a long time coming. One very tangible condition this theater publicizes is the absence of women as directors and producers. Action for Women in Theatre, an organization documenting the status of women in the profession, noted recently that from 1969-76, only one of 43 non-profit theaters across the country showed a significant increase in the nurtiber of participating women playwrights or directors, — & Lack of direction While statistics of this sort are really the grossest measure of the status of women, there is true cause for concern when only seven percent of directors and seven percent of playwrights are women. As had been involved in a AWT’s report states, “The women who workshop situation never seemed to receive the usual promotion to major Once the ..assistant in directing productions director/workshop category, their careers, unlike those of their male counterparts, reached a dead end.” Add this to the contentions of many actresses, such as Cicely Tyson, that most available roles depict women as neurotic housewives, aggressive man-eating bitches or buxom dolts, and the case for a women’s theater beco'mes one of woman .. . ... Allen Thus, women’s theater is a reaction to existing conditions. This does not excuse it from the criteria for good theater and some women’s theater does not satisfy all the points of that criteria. The role of women in mainstream theater will only attain greater depth if the women’s theater movement shows depth and innovation. One innovation of theater is the wall dividing the conventional “leading lady” in her predicament fro'Tn that of other women. as opposed to the singular female consciousness is Collective developed. Indeed, in productions like Nightclub Cantata by Buffalo’s Elizabeth Swados or Shange’s For Colored Girls or even those of UB’s own All-Female Cast, there exists a link to the all-female choruses of ancient Greek tragedies, lost to us for the most part until recently. — .... — ... Publicity power The presence of women in dance is emphatic. The art most relegated to women has had a vigorous history paralleling that of any other art. This legend serves to dispel the notion of women’s incapability to reach the high intellectual and emotional creativity vital to any vibrant art. While dance has risen enormously in popularity, the benefits of this new audience have not been felt across the board by dancers and dance companies. Some struggle while others do relatively well not always a case of proficiency but one of publicity. With the recent advent of big money into dapce, I wonder if dance will mirror the development of modern American art. In the 30’s and 40’s women artists like Georgia O’Keefe were at the forefront of the new American art, an area neglected then by curators in favor of, European art. However from the early 50’s on, when American art became increasingly collectible, women artists began to disappear from the acknowledged mainstream of American innovators. In essence, as long as no one was looking women could play along with the boys, but when exposure began to mean money and status, the game, changed. While this was not due to a discriminatory consciousness of individual artists, it did occur largely through their relative^ignorance about the nature of fame-making machinery. — Stage stilts When 1 see theater or dance that sounds a chord not readily reachable within me, and sometimes this happens in women’s theater or dance, there is a small cry that goes out one of joy, like a child discovering his thumb and what a wonderful thing it is. In dance, it is — quite glorious: people move spirit first. s However, in some theater, in some women’s theater, you feel the actresses and actors reacting to a condition and never initiating one. Theater that only acts through reacting is a little like listening to a one-way conversation boring. While this stiltedness in some of what passes itself off as women’s theater is due to the performers’ awkward awareness of what it is they are attempting to do, some of the companies afflicted never move past this stage. They fail to fulfill their potential to art or to women. Good art has, does, and always shall stimulate the clitoris of the soul. That is art’s only justification to — — men or to women. simply wanting to express her voice elearly.

Since it& inception, the College has achieved a reputation of national prestige and is a glowing beacon in the world of academic feminism, having offered nearly 30 different courses thus far and serving-approximately 500 students per semester. The College’s curriculum aims to cultivate women’s perspectives, to generate and evaluate feminist theory and methods of feminist analysis, to give clarity and organization to existing data on women, to encourage research in new and neglected areas, and finally, according to a College spokeswoman, to make this knowledge available to both university and community women. The formation of WSC in the spring-of 1971 was the result of the intermingling of the Buffalo Woman’s Liberation Movement with faculty, students and community members here. Due to the success of its first offering. Women in Contemporary Society still the experimental and the most popular course at the College innovative idea of an entire feminist college was conceived., for example); skills in the past denied to women (such as women’s auto mechanics); and feminist approaches to traditional disciplines, including a course entitled Psychology of Women. “People can usually find at least part of what we stand for in their interest,” noted Carr. The College has a history of running conflicts with the UB we (innovative Administration. “Since do these and non-traditionall thing*, we’re a big threat to the University," explainechone WSC representative. \ Opening up In 1975, the University refused to allow the College to continue five “women only" courses, contending that this “discrimination” ran contrary to HEW Title IX guidelines stipulating that no persons be excluded from participation in any course or program on the basis of sex. In response, WSC leaders and a large male and female student following declared that restriction of these courses was necessary in order for women to open up and discuss various issues. The presence of men in the class would pose prohibitive pressures, they insisted. Finally the College capitulated to the Administration. Group responsibility The College’s underlying ideology is laced with the notion of However, courses such as Women in Contemporary Society and Poetry Workshops strongly discourage male participation. “You collectivity.

In claimed. Although an undergraduate cannot major in Women’s Studies, addition, the College also encourages team and collective teaching. This liberal educational method, according to Carr, makes “pach she can major in American Studies with a concentration in Women’s Studies. One student who transferred to UB from Stony Brook said woman responsible to herself as well as to the group." The WSC curriculum is divided into five major course types: that many women are drawn to UB on the strength of WSC alone, theory and analysis (a feminist evaluation' oT traditional social As one of the oldest and most determined feminist programs in the institutions); injtitutional analysis (dealing with politics and health, nation, “People look to us as a model,” Carr related.

N . monday ' \ 29, No. 66 t SUNV at Buffalo 5 March 1979 . Tuition hike of $150 ok’d by Trustees' Exec. Committee by Daniel S. Parker News Editor Stiffening before a three-month offensive launched by students and other proponents of public education, the Executive Committee of the SUNY Board of Trustees voted Friday to increase tuition $ 150 for freshmen and sophomores next Fall. The hike will mean a $900 tuition level for undergraduates at all 29 four-year campuses in the SUNY system.' Friday’s Executive Committee vote, although not binding on the full SUNY Board of Trustees the only body authorized to increase tuition came after a last ditch meeting with Legislative officials failed to obtain a $9.1 million addition to Governor Hugh L. Carey’s proposed budget. A reversal the in five member Executive Committee’s decision by the full Board at its April meeting was considered unlikely. Carey’s office, which had a Friday deadlinefor altering its budget, immediately submitted ammendments to his SUNY budget, increasing it the net amount the tuition by $9.1 million increase is expected to provide. The Trustees’ vote and Carey’s ammendment allow the additional revenue to be directed towards priorities outlined by the SUNY Chancellor’s office. - — — - New construction About $4 million will go to a debt service fund, penratting an additional $45. million in capital construction projects, and the remaining $5.1 million will be used to increase SUNY’s funding for new equipment, library services and other operating costs. “There was no alternative,” said SUNY Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton. “We made every effort to avoid a tuition increase.” Assembly Speaker Stanley Fink (D-Brooklyn) told The New York Times that the action left him “very unhappy.” Fink said, “In a three-quarter billion dollar budget, they have to raise tuition to get another $9 million? That’s ridiculous. It doesn’t have to be done.” Student Association of the State University (SASU) officials who have been fighting a hike in the media, lobbying in Albany, and organizing SUNY students since Carey first proposed his budget February 1, echoed Fink’s opposition. SASU Legislative Director Larry Schillinger, who peppered questions at the Chancellor throughout Wharton’s hurriedly-called press A conference Friday evening, said, “It is obvious that the Chancellor capitulated to a threat made by the Governor made through Howard Miller, his Budget Director; if tuition wasn’t raised this year then SUNY would be faced with a terrible budget next year.” " - * TAP will cover “[The tuition increase) coming at a time when the number of applications being received for first-time admittance is far below projected levels,” Shillinger remarked, “will nullify any Inside: Colleges react to distribution credit— P. 11 / leers lose in playoff—P. 12 / increase in revenue due to a shortfall in enrollment.” Wharton estimated that.45,000 of the 77,000 full-time undergraduate lower-division students would get State aid to cover part of the increase. He further noted that of that figure, 28,000 students will have the full cost of the increase picked up through the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). University President Robert L. Ketter, one of SUNY’s most outspoken critics of the tuition hike, was out of town this weekend and unavailable for comment. Ketter had told the Board of Trustees in February that a tuition hike was, in effect, a subsidy for private colleges and that the State ought to be considering an eventual decrease instead. Mass demonstration The Trustees also boosted tuition charges for SUNY’s graduate programs in medicine, dentistry and optometry from $3000 to $3,300 and law school from $2*000 to $2,200. In addition, dormitory rents will be raised $50 throughout SUNY, although the $15 health fee will be eliminated. Hopeful that Ore student battle is not yet lost, SASU’s Schillinger asserted, “Never say die.” Schillinger said the statewide, student lobby group is going to continue pressing the Legislature for more funds, saying, “The budget is not final until April I.” SASU is currently organizing a mass demonstration for March 21 in the Capitol.

This meeting will be part of an on-going evaluation of the program and the policy coverage. Casino gambling Panel to discuss style, measures of regulation Editor’s Note: This article is the second of a two part series examining the possibilities and ramifications of the legalization of casino gambling in New York State. by Brian O'Hare Spectrum Staff Writer The exact form and nature that casino gambling may take in New York State presently rests with a panel of experts selected by Governor Hugh L. Carey. The panel, which includes UB Sociology professor Gary Kaplan, will recommend precisely how the casinos should be structured and controlled. Representatives from the Student Health Insurance Office will be available during the meeting to handle specific policy questions or individual claims problems. SUB • £7}BOARD yQ ONE, INC The panel’s first order of business will be whether the casinos should be London-style, where casinos are separate buildings not requiring hotel rooms or bars, or whether they should be Vegas-style, where a casino must be part of a hotel and can contain bars and other . forms of entertainment. But if the panel recommends Vegas-style, which is likely since it is the style most familiar to Americans, it must then decide how big the hotels must be in order to be eligible. In Atlantic City, hotels must contain at least five hundred rooms, which made Resorts International the only hotel immediately eligible. If this panel recommends something 'ess strict but still requiring, say 400 rooms, it could still be a problem because most hotels still wouldn’t be large enough. For example, the Niagara Hilton is the only hotel in Niagara Falls with at least 400 rooms. Finding expansion space could be a big problem, especially in downtown areas, and the added demand for downtown land for expansion would likely cause real estate prices to " - Jewish Student Union Chabad, and Hillel present rg s°^f e at\AV efficient.

Also to be decided is if the nece'ssary increase in public services, such as law enforcement, should be funded in part by the casinos themselves. This could be an important point in light of the'fact that the police chief of Atlantic City is asking for an addition to his force of over 100 men to handle an increased crime problem in the area. The chief also feels there is no way his force can successfully combat organized crime unless former syndicate criminals are enlisted to demonstrate the techniques the criminals now use to avoid being connected with casinos. The panel will have to recommend the structure of a State regulatory board and decide who much power it should have in granting and revoking licenses. Important too, is the means set-up for selecting members pf the board, insuring that energetic, competent, and un-influenced members are chosen. The panel will also try to specify what areas should allow gambling within the State, This point is important since the chances are slim that State voters would accept a bill that didn’t specify exact Ideations. It would also be hard for the Legislature to argue costs and benefits if there was no limit to how many areas might be included. Still more important is the issue of whether the casinos should be run by the State, private interests, or both. The general feeling is that privately run casinos will probably be allowed because they are considered more Award winning documentary film on Nazi occupation of France. \ Decisions Another question facing the panel, and ultimately the State Legislature, concerns the division of tax revenues between the cities, their outlying areas, and the State.

Since many legislators .are relatively uninformed on the subject, “It would for the Legislature to go against the findings of the panel,” stated Niagara Falls Councilman Joe Smith. Smith added that this would be particularly true if the findings of the panel were negative. The coming conflict If they are mixed, or favorable, it,could spark a flurry of support and 'opposition activity alike. Both sides are presently holding oft campaigning since the uncertain findings of the panel may make their efforts unnecessary. Religious groups and other groups who might w/irry about casino gambling’s leading to a higher crime rale, a further erosion of morals, or a negative image" of their town or city, can be expected to suddenly solidify and be heard from. Supporters then would have to work even faster to consolidate their several present proposals into one and convince the Legislature it is desirable. Predictions on the actual outcome of the bill ranged from approval this year to a feeling that the matter was just too rushed.

The Rochester chapter, explained Albrecht, has set up a patrol group which monitors certain dangerous streets and has managed to prevent all rapes in the area. A larger “Take Back the Night” march will occur in New York City’s Times Square this fall, reported Lynn Campbell, East Coast Coordinator for Women Against Violence in Pornography in Media Campbell was instrumental in organizing a similaC and tremendously successful San Francisco march last November. A national conference of the group was held in San Francisco prior to the march. “This was the first time feminists came together to talk about pornography,” said Campbell. Prominent feminist novelist Susan Brownmiller (Against Our Will ) and poet-essayist Adrienne Rich attended this meeting, and then joined the 50,000 women in marching through San Francisco’s “Porno” district, “it was such a success," enthused Campbell, “that east coast women also wanted to do it.” As for New York City’s march, a “massive action” on trashy, smut-filled Times Square is hoped for, to the tune of 20,000 participants. “Too small a number would be swallowed up by the »v hugeness of Times Square,” Campbell said. Traditionally, she asserted, Right Wing moralists have seen pornography as evil, owing to the suggestion that sex is bad. Left Wing libefals ave viewed pornography as sexual liberation, she added. However, declared Campbell, “This is a feminist issue which has nothing to do with either of these things.” “It affects the lives of all women.

Larry G. Steele Director VB Sports Information - You too, dormies changes await higher education. SUNY will not survive the next decade without a reversal in funding priorities for higher education in this state. With the statistics so overwhelmingly favoring SUNY's argument that private schools are benefiting at the expense of the State's own little chance that an independent, well-researched study could recommend anything but a more there system, is equitable arrangement. Besides the funding imbalance, there is a very real problem to be faced internally in SUNY declining enrollments. It may be that there are too many campuses in the system (64 including community colleges), and a painful but necessary — pruning seems inevitable, unless the system alters its services enough to attract healthy numbers of "non-traditional" students. The same study could address this issue. Not to be forgotten is the unique budgeting relationship between SUfJy and the State, a relationship that allows bureaucrats in the Division of the Budget to reach out to individual campuses and make decisions that are essentially academic how many instructors per student in a given program, for example.

All I have is the evidence and no 1 repeat, no highrpriced, big-named social critic to present it. In any event.. Here’s what’s happening: newspapers are in trouble. The hometown, family-owned paper can’t cut it financially. Huge, homogenizing media companies are swallowing up these casualties by the dozens. The typical American city has become a one-newspaper town. Less than three percent of the markets across the nation can read independent, competing dailies (Buffalo and New York are two'of the lucky ones). Meanwhile, television continues to lure away readership. The response has been to make the paper more compatible with the tube, so that maybe it will be read during the commercials. Fluffy, puffy, non-political, feature material such as “living” and “people” sections is driving hard news and news analysis from the pages. Entrenched labor unions are making technical modernization and editorial change difficult, sometimes impossible. Journalism executives talk about these — — . — Monday, S March 1979 66 just to thumb wrestle for an evening. The responsibility does not lie on the shoulders of the commuter alone! The individual mentioned earlier who expressed regret that commuters were not more involved, at least realized that dorm student participation was an important part in making commuters feel welcome Most do not. As a final note, I would like to add there it one alternative for those commuters who are not fortunate enough to know Wilkeson residents with backgammon sets or numbers of peanut butter sandwiches and that is to join one of the Colleges. Joining a Cojlege can give one a place to go, people to talk, to and a sense of belongitlg to the University. UB can hopefully be more than an oversized high school for all of us. large Cathy Cozzarelli exllo^n — Editor-in-Chiaf Copy, A dorm student I had just been intrdduced to (he offered to show me his fish), commented that a major fault of this University is that the commuters are “lazy;” that they attend classes and go gleefully home to Mom and Fido for the rest of the day. So many residents suffer under the delusion that commuters actually enjoy this daily migration homeward. But when it comes down to it, what choice do we have? Admittedly, it would be entirely enjoyable to be able to feel a part of the student scene at Ellicott or Governors, but we cannot simply show up there and hang out by the water fountains and fixe alarms. I’m sure a' commuter would feel involved in UB activities if, for example, a classmate who lived in Wilkeson called up to invite him/her over to his room to play backgammon, have recently — absurdities and DOB horror sotries to make any investigator cringe. The evidence is there, scattered across the state in mostly anecdotal form. It is long past the time to stop talking about SUNY's miseries and do something about them. A Commission to Save SUNY, a study to save SUNY, perhaps a cocktail party to save SUNY. We'll take anything at this point, as long as it's action and not more welhphrased, irresolute, bellyaching. intense discussions on peanut butter sandwiches or To the Editor. problems, because they are largely someone else’s doing. Now, here’s what else is happening: The Press has fallen behind government bureaucracy and corporate America in its ability to guide popular opinion: Public relations a clever term for institutional propaganda has been so brilliantly employed that the media actually depend on it and have become, at their worst, unpaid boosters for corporate and governmental institutions and, at best, half-hearted scratchers to the surface of institutional abuse and neglect. Big advertisers are exerting more and more influence on what becomes news; and the reader, whose 20 cents doesn’t mean as much anymore, is being fed less meat and more filler, without knowing or caring about it. No publication, not a single one, that sees as one of its aims to check corporate control can obtain enough advertising to ' — — survive, as the collapse of New Times magazine last November proved. This is also happening: Daily newspapers are still dominated by crusty, more-than-middle-aged desk editors who grew up in an era when the news gathering process and the goals of that process were much different. Thus, the new breed of journalism student, who enters the profession with an eye on changing society, ofjen finds himself writing up storefront burglaries and how-to stories on making' your own wine rather than exposes on government insensitivity. The standard, facbfilled “objective” news story which hasn’t changed form in 70 years *s not only boring to readers who can dial any — *- fantasy they want on TV, but has been so brilliantly exploited by corporations and government agencies that it works mord for them than for the reader. Investigative reporting, glamorized during the Watergate era, is still in a pathetic infancy at many papers since a.) it does not sell the paper to advertisers and' b.) it is still seen as a special, rather than v regular function. by young, Attempts well-educated reporters to introduce a more lively and more literary prose to daily journalism are often stifled by visionless leadership. The Press is one of the least innovative and least critically examined institutions in the country. The Columbia Journalism Review, by far the most influential source of self-criticism in the profession, has a circulation of only twice The Spectrum's. Many newspapers are run like battle-camps, with generals making all policy and the men on the front lines thoroughly uninvolved in tactical decisions. Journalism executives don’t talk about these problems, for they are largely self-created. The result of all this is that most of journalism is far, far behind what the times demand, although the glamor-papers like the New York Timet- and Washington Post obscure the profession’s dismal standing.' With political and economic issues of real importance becoming increasingly complex, and becoming increasingly influenced by over-simplified, sloganeering special interest groups, journalism ought to be expanding its analysis and commentary on the rather than abandoning it for mushy news, “lifestyle” coverage. With television, film and their parasitic publications like the National Enquirer convincing America that what happens to celebrities like Jackie O is truly important, newspapers ought to be focusing their “people” coverage on the hacks behind institutional walls who hold the real power. With television and radio news beating newspapers to the breaking, momentary news events (like disasters) the press ought to be examining* the underlying, constant truths about American society that do not require an “event” to be displayed. How does patronage work? How do politicians really get elected? How do corporations and bureaucracies govern themselves? How do they function on a day-to-day basis? Only a small portion of newspapers’ readership knows because newspapers are only telling smalf truths compared to the hugeness of American society. Only when the Press ends its mindless addiction to tiny specs of truth that affect and involve only a handful of .people; and opens its writing style to some innovation; and reaffirms its role as a check on governmental and corporate abuse will its future look rosey, from these eyes. Now, if I can only find some famous big-mouth who agrees with me. �1- feedback doymondaymondaymondayir To the Editor.

This incident did occur. 1 have signed a sworn statement ta this effect. I would not perjure mySelf, nor do I have the indecency to libel another human being, regardless of any apparent or non-apparent justification. Quite frankly I war not too concerned about the 3 Early last week every UB student received a § letter from the group “Rights of Conscience.” The 2 issue addressed was abortion coverage in the student Jf health insurance plan offered by a student oi corporation. § - Rights of Conscience opposes the plan “because |, it forces students who have moral, religious, and philosophical objections to sacrifice these in order to participate in the plan.” Claiming it “it not ‘pro-life*, not is it ‘pro-choice’," the group p “leave(s) the issue Karl Schwartz of abortion to the larger society.” Consideration of their argument Peonistic racism confused. My thinking essentially Your Feb. 26 of The Spectrum most “bogus.” The article, “student petitioner declares S.A. Senator threat” constitutes slander not only on the part of senators but also the Black Student Union and all of its constituents. To actually stipluate that two of our members (not senators which is what they are) threatened S.A. President Karl Schwartz and student petitioner David Hoffman is the most peonistic form of racism I have yet to see you (jay rosen) and The Spectrum deliver. 'Besides the fact that you (jay rosen) felt obligated to write the article yourself implies that John D.

' ‘ -Anonymous same organization, and 2 in the Executive Cornmittee (not counting the Minority Affairs Coordinator). A coalition between foreigners and minorities has been developed, etc. It is evident that minorities through their own efforts and by means r of democratic avenues are trying to avoid what was customary in the past. It is now, consequently, when we start to hear hints that maybe Black students in the S.A. Senate are over-represented. (Hoffman’s argument The Spectrum 23 February 1979). Yet, all senators. Black as well as white, gained their seats following the same democratic procedures. Once in the Senate, voting patterns indicate a % majority lined against some Executive Committee members. Black and white votes many times gather a consensus, which again points out that most of the together with the Blacks. It is white votes impossible to conclude that what takes place in the Senate can be characterized as a Black/white issue, Just on time we have a move to get rid of the Senate, the major organized force opposing Karl Schwartz with success. The Spectrum carries the news On its front page (Friday; Feb. 23, 1979), conveniently boxed in the middle for you to take notice. In the next issue (Monday, Feb. 26, 1979), we read, “Student Petitioner Declares Threat Made by S.A. Senator.” We learned that Karl, too, has been threatened. We will have to be myopic not to see a concerted effort by The Spectrum and Karl to get rid of the opposition. Making sensational news and bringing back (last, incidents to create anti-minority and anti-Black hysteria is, nevertheless, going too far. Be careful?! The Spectrum writes that “a powerfully built man” compelled to “use crutches is getting violent. The beast is out and we start to hear (don’t we?) the sounds of the jungle, The issue has been outlined: when Blacks get like that, the whole thing blows up. The hunting apparently is under way and the problem needs to be personalized. Who is the scapegoat? Naturally a Black senator. An old political tactic. Create false alarms! Use stereotyped and derogatory characterizations! Again what is attemped is the utilization of the most bare demagogy to deal with the problems that emanate « It is very mtimidation or easy to condemn any means of of threat of violence. The people who do that can certainly expect to obtain the applause of any well meaning person. What is more difficult is to look at causes which give rise to angerv and violence as well as the context in which they take place. The significance of the recent revelations printed by The Spectrum is that it follows the above mentioned approach. The way the allegations coming from David Hoffman and Karl Schwartz are treated in reference to a verbal exchange with Reggie Washington tends to indicate a pattern on the part of The Spectrum and some S.A. present and past officials. The veiled objective of this trend is to downgrade especially Black representatives, to picture them as aggressive and violent, and to discredit the organizations they belong to. Issues appeared to be quickly settled following this approach the blame finally rests on somebody who automatically becomes the guilty party. The most glaring example of this over-all pattern goes back as far as Spring 76 when budget talks were adjourned, taken off campus and set during the summer (always a convenient time). At that time business as usual continued its course with the cutting of S.A. Minority Affairs Coordinator’s salary; further cuts to minority groups; and the cancellation of UUAB minority programming line. No minority representation in UUAB and Sub-Board Board of Directors guaranteed a policy of discrimination and harassment. .Auditing of B.S.U. expenditures. freezing money, denying payments could be done anytime. It is important to notice that while all ffiis was going on S.A. officials used to call the University Police whenever contact with B.S.U. was anticipated, and the Police made their presence in some S.A.' Senate meetings. It is within this context that the fight between Steve Spiegel and John Lott took place as a result of which three Black students were one was suspended and very harshly dealt with two were expelled and incarcerated. A glaring over-reaction. S.A. officials at that time as well as now did not hesitate in calling Campus Police to protect them while using their whip. The Spectrum then as well as now, added more fuel to the conflict, issue An editorial published in the January 21, wanted that “the entire university will join us (The ■Spectrum) in denouncing this vicious attack, calling for the expulsion of those found guilty, and their fullest prosecution in the criminal courts.” This far from being a sober assessment of events, sounds more like a call for blood. Fortunately, the situation as far as the minorities are concerned has changed. However, the tactics on the part of some S.A. officials and The Spectrum remain the same. There are now 17 minority students in the S.A. senate, 5 are seated in 4jie finance committee, 1 in Sub-board, 1 in UUAB wllHi two more in positions of responsibility in the - - - - — «B() to ... f for another’s abortion? Bewildered, 1 reread the letter. I suddenly realized that no one can view the issue of abortion and not feel that it is either right or wrong. One must, by ,the emotional nature of the issue, be either pro-life or pro-choice. By fighting abortion coverage in student health insurance, Rights of Conscience shows itself to be anti-abortion. Nor can the issue of abortion be left by any individual to a “larger” society, for no individual in the university community can physically or mentally .separate himself or herself from from our “larger”'society. The same kind of thinking that leads me to pay taxes which may be allocated to Welfare even though the way in which some Welfare payments are spent certainly offends my moral sensibilities, if not religious code, would lead me, and I hope others, to pay a small fee to include abortion coverage in a health care package. Let’s not kid ourselves; it is only women who do not have the money for an abortion and yet who feel that they need one who will be hurt by the lack of abortion coverage. Because I see no attempts to correct either the conditions that make for poverty in our “larger” society or those that bring about unwanted pregnancies, it seem to rnp that Rights of Conscience puts itself in a class with other groups who seek to continually subordinate certain classes of society. Jeanne A. Smith Pro-life and pro-choice To the Editor: If I become pregnant, I plan to have the baby. I probably will not raise it, but I’ll have it. It’s a good thing I can afford to. For a long time, 1 wavered between “pro-life” and “pro-choice.” I chose the “pro-life” side, or so 1 thought. Now, as I watch the battling between the UB Rights of Conscience Groups and C.A.R.A.S.A., I begin to wonder if 1 haven’t chosen “pro-choice”, too. The health insurance plan now pays for abortion, so women have that “choice.” But what they haven’t told you is that abortion is the only choice for the poor. The plan doesn’t pay for pre-natal care. And I hope you have enough for birth-control, because the plan doesn’t pay for that either. (Or is abortion the now-faired form of birth control?) The plan doesn’t even provide a regular conflicts. T YJI<!1 v'[/1 from having a solid opposition. To camouflage the obvious it is necessary to formally take a pious and sincere position: “use legitimate avenues,” and “influence people in a philosophical way,” Karl counsels. Sure, a bit of gentleman'sweet talk will always do. This, we suppose, is the philosophical way of attempting to persuade people to avoid the rule of the jungle. We do not see any positive aspects in the approach taken by some members of the S.A. Executive and The Spectrum to deal with their opposition. Regardless of the merits of the Senate and some of its members, this approach and the pattern in which it fits have to be seen as breeding grounds for sharp antagonisms. It is only when a different approach is taken towards Black people in general. Black students, and their organizations in particular, that we can talk of the possibility of more harmonious co-existence. Otherwise, there is no end - contradictory left me divided between two philosophies: one the idea of a greater community, a society, and of a need to provide for it, and the other the notion of individual responsibility. Positing a time and place that isn’t malfunctioning because of a failure in its socio-economic history I suppose would allow for a meshing of those two themes, but in 1979 here in the good ole USA, I just don’t see a point of intersection. All of which doesn’t seem to relate to abortion coverage, right? What it boils down to is that on the one hamf I strongly favor inclusion W abortion coverage because cultural expectations in many social structures in which the women of UB live or have been raised encourage women to place themselves (or to get put) in situations where it is possible to become pregnant. The coverage offers women so directed by our “larger” society a chance provided by our “smaller” society, the university community, to terminate their pregnancy and perhaps buck 2 cycle begun for them by their “larger” society. It also allows for the men of the community- to bear some collective responsibility for an alternative necessitated by their sexual activities. 'Yet, on the other hand, I myself would be offended if told that my decisions to have sex or not were based on societal norms and expectations. 1 demand my own responsibility for my actions. I still would want the coverage, but I could hardly ask,the members of Rights ot Conscience to go along with if, in another’s view abortion my second reasoning is an irresponsible act, why should that person pay our college community. by Third World Student Association was embracing you (jay toikn) bore some personal interest in this situation thereby explaining the loss of the most fundamental principle of journalism OBJECTIVITY.

The first door opens with the mystical touch of the card revealing a room the size of a large elevator. It's called a "containment vessel." The second door opens with the push of p,, button and you're finally inside the reactor room. There's a structure in the center of the room that looks like something out of one of those Japanese Sci-Fi movies. Whatever is going on inside of it is being determined by a couple of guys in a control room made up of hundreds of inscrutable dials, levers and graphs. And COOLING TOWER; The products of nuclear fission iwswily require soma kind of cooling procass to prevent reactor ‘maltdowns.' The UB reactor employs a system of dipping the 'hot rods’ into watar tanks. If the tank leaks, the surrounding air is a satisfactory coolant.

They can't blow up, but they can overheat and melt." Such an overheating would occur in the event of a water leak within the reactor. Water, acting as a cooling agent, surrounds the uranium fuel rods in the 30-foot deep well where fission reactions take place. Orlosky said assuredly, "Even if we tost all the water from this reactor, it would still not melt because we operate at energy levels that are much lower than power reactors." Indeed, numerous precautions are taken phases of operation. Three different radiation detectors, checked periodically are planted on all persons insjde the reactor room. Persons leaving the building are first required to insert their hands m and plant their feet on a box that looks like one of those scales that hands during ail out your fortune. Glowing digits registering the radiation levels on your appendages leap into action. If the number exceeds 20 for your hands or 40 for your feet, you must wash them before leaving. ' z * The building itself is equipped with safety features too numerous and complicated to mention, suffice to say that it it air tight, rendering a radioactive leak into the air virtually impoetible. "The Rules and regulations "The nuclear industry," said Operation Manager Philip Orlosky, "Is one of the ' departments at this University, including Physics, Chemistry and Geology, use the reactor for research. Said Orlosky, "The facility is open to anyone who wishes to conduct research. We would like the facility to be utilized by the University and the community. Past bad press and' demonstrations make it difficult to obtain funding from the University" (the sole funding source). The NSTF alto provides a radioactive waste disposal service which may run into financial difficulties in the future, according to manager of the Radiation Protection Department Mark Pierro. The NSTF collects radioactive waste products from area hospitals and the University departments that use the facility; compacts them, stores them in barrels, and ships the barrels to a waste dump in Barnwell, South tjjSjg* yen— In * Countless applications Still, doubts in the minds of skeptics may overshadow the facility's positive contributions.

"Thiifyear," said Pierro, "we expect the cost to rise to $36,000 because we have to ship the wastes to South Carolina. We used to ship the wastes to the West Valley dump site and we could save thousands of dollars a year if we could still do that." The site was closed down in 1972 after frequent shutdowns, reported radiation leaks and worker contamination, and never reopened, due largely to economic concerns. Nuclear technology remains embroiled in bitter controversy with equally well founded pros and cons. But those that work in the industry like Orlosky resent public resistance. "All my working life,” he said, "I've worked in the nuclear industry. Every industry has its hazards and this is as safe as any of tham." £ w �2 IT’S HAIR at Palmer’s Beatify Salon — 3124 Main St. To the Editor: of the S.A.

Unfortunately my disappointment in The Spectrum's coverage of the Student Association has been almost equally consistent.

I want this made unmistakably clear because I do not wish to,be As a member identified with what i consider to be an irresponsible group irrationally attempting to achieve their ends by employing methods of dubious legality. It should also be noted that Senator Mike Cantwell and I did speak against the resolution, albeit briefly and unavaiiingly.

J Call for appointment plaasa To the Editor: I guess as the old how bad don’t realize is until it involves you saying goes, you a situation personally. Through the opportunity of trying to organize a coffeehouse at this University, I have come to realize all too well the hassles and frustrations one may encounter. The coffeehouse I have mentioned took place Feb. 27 and was sponsored by the junior physical therapy class. All the proceeds were to go to the Children’s Rehabilitation Center. Things were organized smoothly with the night drawback of lack of sound equipment and publicity. So 1 talked to UUAB about the possibility of the donation of sound dquipment for “the cause.” It was made very clear to me that this was out of the question so as a class we decided to invest the S6S required. I then proceeded to The Spectrum office and requested that an announcement about the coffeehouse be placed upon the Backpage on the Friday and Monday prior to the 27th. I was emphatic that the announcement was important since! it was our main source of publicity. On Friday the announcement did not appear and remembering' what was told by the receptionist 1 figured the'feditor bad chosen nof to put it in that day. 1 was a. little' disappointed but thought it would) be in Monday to 1 wouldn’t worry. Well, when I looked at The Spectrum Backpage Monday and saw no announcement again, I was more than worried. I took this matter up with the backpage editor and all .he could say is “I don’t know why it wasn’t in. I remember seeing your request.” and “I’m sorry.” I don’t mean to belabor the point since he is only human, but “I’m sorry” just doesn’t get my announcement in the paper. Meanwhile the student head of UUAB, Matt Russo, has not gotten back to me about confirming my WSC sound system request which had been recorded in duplicate by the UUAB secretary. After three calls at which time I left my name and number for a return call which I never received, I got in touch with Mr. Russo. He confirmed the date, equipment, time, and financial matters with me at this time. So naively enough I believed that the matter was under control. The day of the coffeehouse arrived and 1 called Mr. Russo repeatedly throughout the late afternoon and evening to make sure he was aware that 1 wanted the equipment set up by 9:30 and not arriving at 9:30 since I had heard this organization was not too reliable. What 1 was to find out, (oo late unfortunately, was that “not too reliable” was a gross understatement! As one may deduce on their own, the equipment never arrived and Matt Russo was no where to be found the entire evening. The coffeehouse proceeded although Mr. Russo did a good job of almost ruining the evening. I don’t understand how such an incompetent person has been allowed to remain the student director of an organization at a university of this size. F have heard from numerous sources both within and,outside the organization that Matt Russo has previously been the cause of urtexcusable situations such as mine and will undoubtedly be the cause of them in the future. Sub-Board has been Women’s Studies College feels that it is necessary to clarify some of the points presented in the Wednesday, February 28th, article on us and the Program in American Studies. It is true that the resignation of Dr. Lillian Robinson is a tremendous loss for this University and our programs. However, we don’t feel that the situation is as drastic as was portrayed. The Women’s Studies program on this campus is one of the oldest and largest in the country, and has a national reputation for excellence inspite of the many struggles we have had to fgce. We understand and regret the circumstances that caused Dr. Robinson’s resignation, but many women, undergraduates, graduate students and faculty, continue to be attracted to our program, and bring 'with them the skills that improve and - PHONE 837-0390 from 2-9>pm Weekdays DON’T DELAY REGISTER TODAY! - The Paralegal Studies Program Long Island University ' J-‘ ■, and Mercy College «v m f Career Day! -■ March 21 from 10 am to 4 pm strengthen; pur ability to be leaders in the Women’s Studies field and provide an education that meets women’s needs. Secondly, we don’t expect that securing replacements for Dr. Robinson and Dr. Kennedy to be an issue. As people who were here at the time may remember,- the issue of replacements for our faculty arose during the Fall ’77 semester. The resolution of that situation resulted in a guarantee of a minimum of 3 faculty lines fo» the Women’s Studies program from the Vice-President for Academic Affairs, Ronald Bunn, and the Dean of Arts and Letters, George Levine. It was understood at that time that a program such as ours must have this minimum number of faculty to survive. for an appointment in Hayes Annex aC”,room 3 (University Placement Office, 1979 Deborah O’.

In knottier pseudo analysis in The Spectrum of 7 February, 1979, he presented with carefree abandon of The Spectrum that Avinash Mathur is abusing the pages of this publication to project his own version of what history should have beenrand how he fancies current affairs and the future to be; all in the name of political analysis.

Parker News Editor Officials of the Colleges are preparing to rebut Dean of Undergraduate Education (DUE) John Peradotto’s refusal to allow 30 College courses to be considered as distribution options available to undergraduates. of the Curriculum In two separate College meetings Thursday Committee and Colleges’ Council officials expressed their displeasure with Peradotto’s decision and discussed their response. In a brief report t(> the Council,-Acting Dean of the Colleges Claude E. Welch warned, a term used by Peradotto “It may be that the ‘silent deference’ given thus far to the issue will be stirred.” Under their proposal, the Colleges would have benefitted from increased student enrollments, greater budget assistance and a solidified academic standing in the University. Originating from the 1960’s nationwide move to liberalize education, the Colleges have always been considered an experimental a sector here and have had to continually fight for their survival battle that a few Colleges losf. Currently, College courses are allowed to offer distribution credit only if they are cross-listed with another University department. Peradotto explained that departments. Faculties and Schools here undergo interior scrutiny to which the Colleges are not subjected.

He noted, “Certainly there are instances of disciplines not embodied in departments,” and pointed to Rachel Carson College here and an Environmental Studies Department at a peer institution. The two Deans disagreed over the level of scrutiny Colleges’ courses receive. “I feel he underestimates the care with which courses proposed in the Colleges are reviewed by individual units, the Colleges’ Curriculum Committee, and the Dean’s office prior to being transmitted to DUE . . said Welch. In T»is denial of the Colleges’ request, Peradotto stated, “It would constitute a considerable departure from the origina) design . . .to allow courses which have not passed, and do not pass scrutiny at that level.” Peradotto asserted that when Colleges’ courses arelreviewed by the DUE Curriculum Committee, “they are treated as experiments.” Welch took issue with this, stating, “I find the assertion that Colleges’ courses are ‘different,’ a gratuitous and ill-informed comment .’V .” Official reaction to Peradotto’s decision was reserved, as Colleges’ officials planned to author a response over the weekend. However, Associate Dean of the Colleges Carole Petro who made the request cbmmihted “Peradotto’s letter indicates he is misinformed on some issues and doctrinaire on others.” - -- General education The debate is muddled by the Faculty Senate’s plans to totally revamp existing distribution requirements with the implementation of a General Education plan. Although the Senate Executive Committee virtually decided to postpone implementing a General Education format until Fall of 1980, Peradotto told Tho Spectrum that “As a General Education plan is formed to replace existing distribution requirements, a course by course evaluation of the Colleges will be to evaluate their conducted along with all University courses appiopriateness in a General Education scheme.” The postponement, according to Welch, “makes it all the more important” to consider altering restrictions that prevent Colleges’ - courses from fulfilling distribution requirements. The Senate Executive Committee, which declined to advise Peradotto on the Colleges’’request, may serve as the appeals court for indignant Colleges’ officials, said one Administrator. Welch noted, “I hope the Faculty Senate Executive Committee will be willing to listen 1 to presentations of both Dean Peradotto’s and the Colleges' views..’ That’s because, in our business, an outstanding technical staff is the key to success.

The Brockport coach, seeing the game melt away in Brookins’ hot shouting hand, calls time out. UB leads 56-44. (Now, the first thing you Brockport’s notice about Derek-the-Do'ctor is that he has one black sneaker on his left foot and one white sneaker on his right foot.

Parker Dean denies request *Lf for OliV O l distribution credit Dean of Undergraduate Education (DUE) John Peradotto, recently dubbed “Mr. University” because of his integral involvement in major academic decisions, has denied the Colleges’ request that 30 College courses be considered distribution options for undergraduates. The Colleges’ proposal could have brought them increased standing in the enrollments and a firm no longer experimental University. Peradotto’s decision may unleash severe criticism from Colleges’ officials, who declined to speak with The Spectrum until they met to discuss the matter late Thursday. Currently, College courses are only allowed distribution credit if they are cross-listed with-another department. Peradotto explained that regular departmental courses normally pass scrutiny at different levels departmental and/or Faculty or School before being forwarded to a DUE Curriculum Committee for approval. Although College courses must also be approved by the DUE committee, they are not subject to the same interior levels of scrutiny, said Peradotto. Peradotto further explained that the University’s distribution requirement was conceived along these department, Faculty and/or School lines “in order to encourage exposure to disciplines more or less in their regular and faculty controlled formats. .In his letter to Associate Dean of the Colleges Carole Petro, Peradotto commented that, “it would constitute a considerable departure from the original design to allow courses which have not passed, and do not pass scrutiny at that level (to serve as distribution requirements). - - - - > ... Scramble for enrollments Peradotto further wrote: “The claim of the Colleges that this or that course falls within the range of disciplinary lines so defined and monitored, is a mere assertion until it finds credibility through approved cross-linking.” In other words. College courses that are not cross-listed do not undergo scrutiny of their disciplinary nature, or of their instructor, course format or content; therefore they can only “attest” to their legitimacy as being worthy of distribution credit. Peradotto pointed to the underlying “paradox” facing the Colleges. The Colleges, which were established during the 1960’s nationwide effort at liberalizing education and expanding upon rigid disciplinary structures here, are, according to > the Dean, both inter-disciplinary and extra-disciplinary in nature. Peradotto wrote Petro: “If in the scramble for enrollments, the Colleges fashion themselves too rigidly in the image of departments, they lose their distinctive reasons for being. “namely that “If this sounds paradoxical,” he observed distribution credit be denied until the Colleges more closely approximate disciplinary status, and the warning that if they do so then the way out is a they lose their distinctive reason for being — DUE Dear. revision of the distribution policy Although Peradotto agreed with Acting Dean of the Colleges Claude Welch’s contention that there “has been a deliberate effort to .. News Editor - link the Colleges more closely with existing University units and programs,” the Dean asserted until the Colleges “move more closely still” then they should not be granted distribution credit under existing guidelines. Course by course However, the Dean indicated that the Faculty Senate’s c'onsideratirin of a General Education plan a move that would totally revamp current distribution guidelines and reflect a more inter-disciplinary, broader educational emphasis would give “special scrutiny” to the Colleges. He told The Spectrum, “As a general Education Plan is formed to replace existing distribution requirements, then a course by course evaluation of the Colleges will be conducted along with all University courses to evaluate their appropriateness in the General Education scheme.” — — — - The Faculty Senate, which voted Wednesday to effectively postpone implementation of a General Education Plan until Fall, 1980, declined to advise Peradotto in his determination of the fate of the Colleges’ request. The Faculty Senate set up the University-wide distribution requirements and the Colleges’ original charter as experimental, courses, inter-disciplinary in scope. Peradotto said the Senate misunderstood his request for advice, and construed it as a request to decide a decision that he acknowledged belongs to him in —- - “implementing policy.” Peradotto in his letter, stated, “Although 1 disagree with their judgement about referring this matter to the Senate, and marvel at the silent deference with which they treat a prerogative heretofore contested so vociferously and guarded so fiercely, I shall comply with what I take to be their will in the matter, assuming that if, as they look, over my shoulder, my interpretation ill serves their intent, they respond with the guidance originally requested.” will’ Clearly stated Chairman of the Faculty Senate Newton Carver told The Spectrum that Peradotto’s decision was a responsible kind of administrative action. Carver said, “Even if one would disagree with his stand, he has taken it clearly, unambiguously and given reasons.” Carver added that many things have changed sincere Senate’s original passage of distribution guidelines and “different people have varying ideas” on implementation of this policy. Carver told The Spectrum that he would distribute Peradotto’s memo to the Faculty-Senate Executive Committee and ask what they intend to do about it. The matter was not discussed at Wednesday’s Executive Committee meeting. General Ed program delayed by a Faculty-Senate decision date for implementation may stretch out the Senate’s timetable. by Kathleen McDonough Campus Editor Implementation of the General Education program proposed for Fall '*■79 has been effectively delayed until Fall 1980 by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee. In its original charge, the General University-wide Education was a report Committee instructed to prepare targeted -•for implementation. 1980 Fall But Arts and Letters Peradotto’s announcement followed Senate Faculty Chairman Newton Carver’s comments onpreviously a unmentioned effect of the General Education program shifting enrollments. “It is clear that Arts and Letters are hurting, and 1 can’t believe it’s not clear that the General Education shifts program enrollments,” Carver said. In recent years, the health — a maneuver he $aid was designed to v secure funds for economically ailing departments, Dean of sciences and professional schools Undergraduate Education (DUE) have gained in enrollments while departments, John Peradotto had pushed for many other the earlier implementation date. particularly in the faculties of “The Fall 1979 Arts and Letters and Social date implementation was a Sciences, have suffered tightening tactical move on my behalf to budgets in the face of declining focus with intensity on set enrollments. Nine out of the 13 departments, Peradotto courses required by the General announced Wednesday to the Education program fall within Executive Committee, after it had these two faculties, and thus approved a motion deleting all supply them with an infusion of r references to a September *79 students.

Funds committed Peradotto, a member of the General Education Committee, had hoped administration, that the realizing upon that Arts and Sciences cbuld not accomodate the excess students, would itself propose the delay. In this way, he said, funds would have been committed to these units for 1980. But since the Faculty Senate Executive Committee agreed to the delay before the proposal ever reached the levels, upper Peradotto’s maneuver is unlikely to achieve the desired effect. The Dean said he still fears that “even in 1980, we will have to tailor our General Education program to the existing state and strength of programs.” University President Robert L. Ketter, who was present at the Executive Committee meeting, appeared annoyed by Peradotto’s suggestions. He said that people in this University continually refer to “resource allocation” when the retil issue is the ordering of priorities. The money is available now, Ketter said, “if we have a serious intent to do this.” Ketter, while praising the. General Education Committee’s effort and dedication, questioned the format as well as the intent of the program. He noted that General Education Programs are usually most successful in liberal This is reggae—P.

Ketter also said he was Do it yourself— P. 2 1 / Casino gambling uncomfortable with the six areas general knowledge delineated program, for of disciplines. There mentioning integration must be, the by the need he said, “a real dedication of faculty to do these interdisciplinary courses.” Peradotto noted that the present proposal does not prohibit formation the of such interdisciplinary courses, but in fact encourages flexibility for the future. Any group of faculty, from any discipline, can come forward with new courses to satisfy the General Education —continued on page 20— forecast—P. 23 �“If I were a student and knew that 800 clerical errors had been made so far, I would be in checking every single one of mv y grades.” (M Few illegitimate requests While clerical errors, such as misreading by secretaires and mathematical errors, were behind the majority of requests, the remainder had no common linkage. The variety of reasons for grade change requests ranged from student illness to reappraisal of an exam and discovery of lost work Most grade changes Peradotto said. When a student requests a grade to be changed the process involved is fairly simple, explained Peradotto. He said that a student with a complaint first discusses the problem with his professor. If the professor believes the request has merit, he must file a form that is later verified by the Chairman of the department. The form then are a result of clerical errors by Cathy Carlson Staff Writer Spectrum • The customary end-of-semester requests for student grade changes have soared to a 1200-1300 total for the fall ’78 semester. Jht requests, the majority of to Dean of according Undergraduate Education (DUE) John Peradotto, resulted from clerical errors and originated from a handful of academic units. “For a school of this size, the travels to the DUE office where request is checked for legitimacy to ensure that grading procedures have been followed. Finally, it is sent to Admissions and Records, where the grade is changed and the correction is made on the student’s transcript. The number of actual illegitimate requests is sutprisingly small, Contended Peradotto. He noted, “Since fall semester, there have only been 40-50 requests that were considered illegitimate, sent back to the professor for a more detailed report, and never The figure would be fairly acceptable it it were representative of the whole University,” remarked the Dean; “Unfortunately, this is not the case,” Peradotto explained that the requests came from concentrated pockets within the University, adding that he plans to ask the Faculty Senate to investigate these specific units. The Dean declined to tell The Spectrum which specific departments were involved until the Faculty Senate had looked into the matter Scandal According to ' Peradotto, a in emerged similar pattern 1977-78. Over 1000 requests for grade changes were tallied that year, he said, with 60 percent coming from nine areas and 22 percent coming from four others. Peradotto noted a large scale discrepancy within University grading policies, saying, “Work that constitutes an A in one class could be worth a C in another class.” But, he added, “the biggest scandal concerning grading policy is the large volume of requests for grade changes received each year” not the variations in grading policy. In approximately 800 of the requested changes, “clerical error” — was cited as the cause for the revision. “If this figure is accurate, then this, at the very least, can be criminal neglect,” contended Peradotto. He added, considered returned.” Hearing next week Two factions ‘face off’ over abortion insurance coverage With less than a week the Student Health Insurance hearing on UB’s controversial abortion coverage, both factions have intensified public their information before remaining programs. the UB Rights of Conscience Group in a campus-wide mail has asked students to campaign sign a card expressing their opposition to any forced payment for abortion coverage.

Skill in method of persuasionn. lobbying is a central perhaps sole Legislative Coordinator for the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) Arthur Malkin*addressed UB students yesterday on lobbying tactics in order “to make students realize that they can bring about change through acting together.” In an interview with The Spectrum Malkih identified two essential aspects of effective lobbying in the late 1970’s. “Direct action,” he said, “lets lawmakers know we are there whether'"through memos, appearances or mass letter writing campaigns. The crucial means, however, is attracting a grassroots background to let legislators feel we 'V have backing. The “grassroots support” Malkin often refers to is built around the independent work of local coalitions. He termed this the “key” to public interest lobbying. “We have to offset the enormous amount of money corporations are able to expend,” Malkin said. ” ' Sophisticated tactics Explaining that student-oriented organizations such as NYPIRG and SASU (the Student Association of the State University) have limited funds, he said that organized effort is what the groups rely on. Opposed to violence and disruptive tactics, Malkin questioned their effectiveness “in handling legislators.” He said, “I’m not sure that politics of the 1970’s and 1980’s are similar in that respect to the 1960’s.” He claimed today’s students have to operate “on a more sophisticated political level,” focusing on input in an organized .1 manner. “The problem," he explained, “is that people do not understand the lawmaking process. They have to be taught to cast aside high school civics and realize that power lies in the political leaders; the , assembly, the senate.” Malkin forecasts a change in students’ political awareness, even likening the upcoming decade to the turbulent period of reform in the late 1960’s. “I’m' sensing a new unrest a beginning of, perhaps, a v_ new era of student activism. “The issues in 1979, however, are too pervasive for students to remain in their ivory tower any longer,” he maintained. “It is time for students to say to the legislature, ‘No, we will not accept just anything We will no longer be considered second class citizens’.” - , - ... - Rooties Pump Room FRIDAY FISH FRY Stahl Road '2.65 Fresh heifer dpped Haddock, homemade French Fries end - AceacHEi® - 315 ft Mlirtptrt Hwy.

Make positions prominent Thus, he said, the time is ripe for students to become a force in New York State politics. “Our eventual goal,” Malkin-observed, “is to organize the State, to restructure the legislature, to keep the legislative constituencies aware of our positions.” Legislators, Malkin said, have been responding to the efforts students are showing today. He pointed to seven student supported bills passed in 1977. Malkin expects to have, by the semester’s close, spoken to'students across the State. The main purpose, he said, is to get students interested in grass roots support, to build local coalitions. Presently, NYPIRG is lobbying in several areas, including political reform citizens rights, and higher education issues. It has also come out against the tuition hike proposal. Citizens, Malkin believes, should study and leant about the issues of the day, and actively pursue change as part of coalitions. “When legislators vote in response to wishes expressed by citizens then the process is working,” he said. - — — - University Photo 355 Squire Hall, MSG 831-5410v All photos available for pick-up on Friday of week taken.

He pledged his unqualified support to such a fund raiser and said that all of the Republican presidential hopefuls should be invited to attend. “We need a show of unity,” said Fernandez, who noted that no local Republican unit has ever before declared bankruptcy. Such aid from the national GOP may be the only thing that can save the County party. Farley has noted that people are reluctant to contribute political platform on Republican Party Chairman Victor Farley revealed last Thursday that his party may be forced to file for bankruptcy in the face of Marine Midland Bank’s demand that the GOP immediately pay a $236,253 debt. “1 don’t have that money,” said Farley who party’s further informed the Executive Committee that the only funds available are the next four weeks’ operating funds. Paul Willax, chairman of the party’s Finance Committee reported that the GOP is in arrears fivfc months on its interest and principal payments to Marine Midland and another local bank, Manufacturers & Traders Trust Co. (M&T). Farley has been chairman of the County’s 185,000 Republicans since December 2 when he the late Thomas MacKinnon and succeeded inherited the Party’s cumulative debts of $627,000. According to Willax, the GOP owes M&T Bank $250,000;. Liberty $50,00; Manufacturers Hanover $14,000 and the Citizen’s Bank of Arcade $9,000 in addition to the $236,253 owed Marine Midland. Willax said that, of these banks, only Manufacturers Hanover called in its loans. - MacKinnon, who died shortly after his retirement last year, re-negotiated the Marine Midland and M&.T bank loans more than two years ago at a low interest rate. Approximately $38000 per month is paid to both banks and the payments cover a period of almost 1 7 years. when the party has a la,rge debt, claiming “why should we contribute money to pay the banks.” Farley said that while people are sometimes willing to contribute to a particular candidate are more skeptical about contributing money to something as general as a debt. they Stigma Many party leaders feel that the OOP’s present financial difficulties could wreck any party fund-raising plans for interim Republican County Executive Edward Rutkowski. Rutkowski already faces a stiff primary election battle in September from maverick Republican County Comptroller Alfreda Slominski for the OOP’s County Executive nomination. But Rutkowski said Tuesday that he is prepared to raise his own campaign funds through a fund raising committee known as the Friends of Ed Rutkowski. The committee was organized in January with Buffalo attorney John Robshaw Jr. ‘Outrageous’ as treasurer. Republican party officials say that under thesp circumstances, a second re-negotiation of the loan is very unlikely and they expect Marine to take legal action by the end of the weelc. Marine Midland Bank officials declined to comment in the matter. severity of the GOP organization’s financial problems until last week. He maintained that he had planned to establish this fund raising committee before the party’s financial crisis became evident. “We were planning on working in conjunction with the Republican Party,” he said. If the party is forced to declare bankruptcy, the judgemental process would take about 90 days. The party could then reform with a clean financial record but would have to carry the political stigma of bankruptcy and the possible In a Tuesday afternoon conference, Benjamin a California millionaire, member of the Executive Committee of the Republican National Committee, and a declared candidate for the presidency, proclaimed, “It is outrageous that any unit of the Republican Party is even thinking about going into bankruptcy.” Fernandez, Rutkowski said that he was unaware of the demand by businesses for immediate cash payment for materials and services rendered.

It mistakenly referred to the The Wednesday's vote by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee to delay implementation of the General Education program until 1980 is a prudent one; and it underscores the need for a program that is far more comprehensive and meaningful than a mere expansion of distribution i requirements. Although there is a point to be made against hesitating and thus endangering the entire idea by forcing it to survive a year of planning in a volatile political environment we read the current climate as strongly suoportive of the General Education concept and we are confident that the leadership of Undergraduate Dean John Peradotto will eliminate any chance that the University would drop the plan entirely. General Education is more of a conceptual change than a structural one; more of a redefinition than a reaffirmation of curriculum requirements; more of an attitude about what a college education is than a formula for its attainment. While these truths doubtlessly formed the theoretical core of the General Education Committee's wo[k, they weranot reflected in the Phase I plan to expand distribution requirements to 11 cou rses In six knowledge areas. Phase I did not demonstrate to faculty or to students the critical need to think in new ways about undergraduate education. Although much of the work and debate that goes into such an important change must necessarily address problems of application, the theoretical foundation of General Education cannot be obscured in the rush to come up with a plan that is feasible. If it is, then the program will merely alter the ways in which the undergraduate division here fails. Now that the threat of a meaningless Phase I is behind us, the Faculty Senate and the General Education Committee have the time to come up with a plan that can symbolize the Spectrum Senate’s debate on delaying the Springer Report, when in actuality the delay is being considered for the Senate’s General Education plan. — — University's commitment to General Education. And the Administration has the time to deomonstrate its commitment by recognizing that General Education may require a redistribution of money in ways not drawn from Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn's Academic Plan. Bunn must also lead the way toward an institutional change that would allow faculty to be rewarded for teaching efforts. No General Education plan, no matter how brilliantly conceived, will succeed without qualified, dedicated instructors who can devote themselves to undergraduate work without risking their jobs at promotion time. Cross-disciplinary study will have to be actively encouraged and developed, as will a program to develop basic skills in writing and mathematics, before the General Education program begins to carry the weight of its rhetoric. This University has seen too many empty promises to accept another, especially on a program that requires cooperation of students, faculty and administrators to work.

It is despicable that Jay Rosen (Editor-in-Chief) practices unobjective journalism. Not only was the article biased that appeared in Monday’s (2/26) The Spectrum concerning the alleged threats of a Student Association Senator against a student petitioner because of his petition to form a new Senate, but publicizing such “claims” was an insult and an attack on the behavior codes and rationale of Black students attending this University. When The Spectrum humiliates the ethics of one Black person, it offends us all. We are disgusted with the “story-telling” techniques of this so-called news medium. There was no need to defame the name and credibility of the “accused” Senator, there was no need to make repeated references to the Black Student Union or incidents that occurred two years ago. In fact there was no need for this “story” to be written unless, of course, there were underlying motivations for its publication. — Faye Foster Black student Joyce Home Tim Switala Ross Chapman .

On Monday, February 26, 1979, in my rush to catch the bus, 1 grabbed a copy of The Spectrum. While on the bus 1 began reading this subjective, asinine piece of unmitigated filth; which is supposed to be the student’s voice (The Spectrum). I came upon an article which was printed in the fashion of a bulletin, on page three, which stated: “Student petitioner declares threat made by SA Senator.” After reading this piece of, reporting by Jay Rosen (Editor in Chief of The Spectrum), it confirmed my belief that The Spectrum and the SA Executive Board (specifically Karl Schwartz) are cohorts. When are we students going to end this absurd and ridiculous, sensationalists and subtle means of disposing and discrediting people that pose a threat to the regime of Schwartz and Rosen. Reggie Washington is said individual who is the victim of this sensationalism. Mr. Washington- is viewed by these two megalomaniacs' as a personal threat to their hegemony, thus giving rise to unsubstantiated innuendos: “We know where you live.

Shalom.— Peter Eckstein Israel Information Center Appalled by Gittens To the Editor. We, two concerned students of this fine University, have been appalled by the words of Mr. Guy Gittens of the Black Student Union. (Letter of 2/26/79). We livere angered by Mr. Gitten’s naive and unfair definition of Zionism. According to Webster’s New First, the basics World Dictionary (Second College Edition), Zionism is defined as “a movement formerly re-establishing, now supporting the Jewish national state of Israel.” If if is not the definition in concern, but the connotation, Zionism does not exclude non-Jews. There are many non-Jews living conten tly as Zionists in Israel and elsewhere. Next, Zionism does not, by any means, discriminate against those who are not Jewish. The laws of the state of Israel may follow the ide'ologies of Jewish law but they do not exclude others. The government and businesses may . i feedback .. generally be closed on Saturday, the Jewish sabbath. The law, however, does not prohibit business transactions on this day, nor does it impose any other restrictions of this nature. The “chosen people” notion, as Mr. Gittens so eloquently put it, is a religious matter and a religious matter only. According to Jewish history, the Jews were led into Canaan by Moses, their prophet. Anything beyond this is mythical and therefore invalid. The letter went on to analogize Israel with two of the most malevolent governments in modern history. It is so preposterous a thought to make such an extreme comparison as to equate Israel with South Africa, let alone Nazi Germany. This statement alone seemed to negate all of Mr. Gittens’ previous points. David M. Harnik Ellen D. Smolinskv A few weeks ago 1 received a letter from Admissions and Records informing me that the “D” 1 received in CSU3 two semesters ago had now been changed to a “C.” Although I am pleased with the change, 1 remain puzzled by the letter’s lack of information. For example, why my grade was being changed. I also question why it should take so long (over a year) to find out that somebody “goffed” and that a letter change was necessary. This also makes me question the validity of some of my previous grades. How can I be sure that they aren’t or if the grade is worthy of being changed incorrect as a result of some computer error. If this is the standard procedure of Admissions and Records out (sending short form letters, lacking explanations), it is certainly a most inadequate - procedure.

Cheap shots against Zionism To the Editor. I, as a member of the human race, being of the proletariat class, the avante-gard of revolution, take offense at Guy Gitten’s letter in the Monday, February 22, issue of The Spectrum. Comrade Gittens, while aiming in the right direction, has fired at the wrong target. No comrade likes to see racism in the world and for his attack against it, T commend Comrade Gittens. National Liberation movements, on the other hand, are an important instrument in ending racism and breaking up bourgeoise -corporate world control. Nationalist movements have been defended bj* Malcolm X, Lenin and Trotsky among others. Zionism, far from being racism, is indeed the Jewish national liberation movement. In fact, Zionism in its original form is the movement of Jewish people to Israel, their Biblical homeland, for the purpose of setting up agricultural communes in the countryside and industrial collectives in the cities, clearly socialistic revolutionary goals. Kibbutzes (Israeli Agricultural communes) have always been open to people from around the world (including Africa) and there is very little difference between them and the agricultural communes of Cuba. Today, Socialistic principles have become perverted by the Begin government, signs in Israel of a lack of support for Begin’s bourgeoise ideology. Fortunately, unlike in certain non-racist countries such as Libya and Uganda, Israel—has free elections and Begin will probabl/ be removed from office in the next election. The Jewish people have been oppressed for thousands, of years and there isn’t any end in sight. but there are ~ To knock Zionism and in effect Judism is a cheap shot. It wasn’t Jewish people who sold and owned Black people in Africa and in the South. Jews have suffered enough through history dating back into Biblical times, right through the ghettoes of purope, surviving Hitler’s final solution and most recently fighting three bloody wars with Arabs. Comrade Gittens, Can you not feel any compassion in your “ . heart for the Jewish people? Being Anti-Semetic is like being a cockroach. Why don’t you expend your energy against true racism in this country and the world (and racist forces are too great to mention in an article of this size). Furthermore, Comrade, in your unfortunate ignorance and spirit of petite Fascism, you have equated Nazism and Zionism? Well Comrade, when you finally go to Israel, and 1 hope that you do, you will find that every Jewish person in Israel knows somebody who died in the Holocaust. Just throw terms around. It’s some big joke, six million people DEAD. That’s DEAD, not alive. Countless others tortured, raped and experimented on. Go to Yad Vashem (the Jewish memorial to the Holocaust) and see What Nazis do, then perhaps comrade you will end your attacks on Jews. There are Nazis in the United States who must be stopped by an alliance of anti-fascist people. South African oppression must be stopped, but Comrade, nothing will be accomplished if you attack national liberation movements. , In the revolution in Iran,(which you probably don’t support being part of the avante-garde against racism) countless Jews have left the country and the Ayatollah has said that the 200,000 Be’hai people who live there will be persecuted. After all Comrade, that sounds like racism to me. But continue to attack Jews and Zionism, it is easy. Zionism is not Racism. Zionism is Zionism. Zionism is the Jewish National Liberation Struggle. Palestinians are allowed and always have been allowed to live in Israel. In countries such as Syria and Iraq, Jews are tortured and molested. By the way. Comrade, in every other country in the world except for Isreal Jews are treated as second class residents.

Guest Opinion To the Editor. The A response to CARASA “■ by University of Buffalo Rights ofConscience Group We are writing in response to the Guest Opinion by the Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse (C.A.R.A.S.A.) in The Spectrum and the statements made by C.A.R.A.S.A. spokesperson Arlene Fisk in The Spectrum article on Feb. 9, 1979. These contained many distortions, inaccuracies, and undocumented assertions about the issue of the compulsory payment for abortion coverage in the UB student health insurance plan which demand correction. C.A.R.A.S.A. is unable to see that the real issue involving the compulsory payment i« the rights of conscience. Their zeal and dogmatism about defending their “absolute right” to abortion makes them think nothing about suppressing the rights of conscientious objectors to it. It also makes them unable to accept the fact that our group’s concern is the rights of conscience and not the abortion issue itself. They have made emotional arguments instead of rational ones. They believe, for example, that they can escape dealing with the issue on its merits merely by labelling objections to their position as “chauvinist.” We must, therefore, re-establish rational discussion on this issue. First, we believe that the rights of conscience are more than a mere “moral platitude” as C.A.R.A.S.A. alleges. The notion of the rights of conscience has held a central place in American political, constitutional, and legal thought. Thomas Jefferson spoke of “the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience.” The U.S. Supreme Court called the right of conscience “supreme’YC/Were v. U.S.) and and “imperative” (Sherbert v. Verner). The courts have granted protection for the rights of conscience in such specific areas as conscientious objection to war, free exercise of religion, and the rights of medical personnel and institutions not to have to participate in the performance of abortion. This last point is significant. C.A.R.A.S.A. stated that the “controversy that has been raised around this issue” has been ‘'resolved” by the courts. They are correct when referring to the general isSue of the rights of conscience regarding abortion it has been resolved in favor of conscientious objectors. The specific issue of whether it is legal to impose a compulsory payment for abortion coverage in a student health insurance plan has not been resolved. It is now before the courts in such cases as one involving the University of California. Even if there were not a possible legal issue involved, it is still abhorrent for a compulsory payment to be imposed. This is because a university is committed to respecting the diversity of views and the individual rights of persons connected with it. It has an obligation to maintain higher standards in these areas than the minimal ones imposed by law. Second, C.A.R.A.S.A. called those who oppose the compulsory payment an “obvious minority.” We, however, have already gathered approximately 1800 student signatures on petitions against the payment. How many students can they definitely point to as supporting their position? What student support did Sub Board I, Inc. have when it voted to include the abortion coverage? It has never even asked about abortion coverage in any of its past annual surveys of about the insurance. Even if a majority had wanted the compulsory payment, however, it could not be justified because the rights of the minority must be respected. C.A.R.A.S.A. has attempted to circumvent the above questions by making false charges, like Ms. Fisk s, that many non-students have signed our petitions because we have not required a student number from them. The fact is that we do require a student number. Only about 70 of the 1350 signers of the petitions that we submitted to Sub Board in November had omitted putting their student or social security numbers. (Most have student numbers listed.) Ms. Fisk would have noticed this if she had checked our petitions at the Sub Board office, where they are on file. She could also have verified that our signers are UB students by checking university records or the student directory. Third, C.A.R.A.S.A. stated that the abortion coverage was dropped from last year’s plan because' it was “inadequate” and the cost “prohibitive”. This is untrue. A UB health official told us that it was dropped merely because insurance companies were changed and it was lost in the shuffle. C.A.R.A.S.A. insisted that writing an option into the plan so that conscientious objectors would not have to pay for abortion coverage was “unworkable” and would cost so much as to be “unrealistic.” First of all, we have been told by persons in the UB administration, including. Dr. Ketter, that there is nojloubt” that an option can be arranged if UB wants one. Secondly, - “ demanding to C.A.R.A.S.A. has no basis for saying anything at this time about the cost of an option. This is something which will be determined by the negotiations between UB and the insurance company which are just now commencing. As it is, however, the cost of an abortion is not so great as to make it likely that the cost of an option would be prohibitive. An abortion is not $300 or $400 as Ms. Fisk stated, but $160 in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy. Moreover, even if the cost were higher for those taking the option, why should the burden not fall on them instead of on the conscientious objectors who have to buy costlier alternative insurance in order to not violate their principles? C.A.R.A.S.A. has no basis for insisting that their desire to minimize the cost of abortion coverage in the plan overrides the rights of conscientious objectors not to pay. Particularly, there is no legal requirement that group health insurance plans abortions or include a freedom of the press, speech, and religion, we now have something called the “freedom of free abortions.” Since I have never been forced to make payments to a church or political organization to preserve its right to exist, I find it difficult to accept that abortion advocates are entitled to my monetary support. As a Protestant student who is morally opposed to abortion, I am offended by this pro-abortion rhetoric. Janine Huber Conscience: what sources? To the Editor. It has come to our attention that the UB Rights of Conscience group recently sent out a campus-wide mailing urging all students to sign a statement supporting “optional” abortion coverage in the Student Health Insurance. The Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse (CARASA) urges that optional coverage of any sort in a student health insurance plan is economically unfeasible in that the cost of coverage would increase drastically if individuals had the opportunity to opt out. The result would be that abortion coverage would be priced out of existence. What concerns me about the Rights of Conscience mailing is that it restates that they are not an anti-abortion group. They claim to be representing the interests of students. If this is true, their soprces of funding for activities, such as mailings, must be limited to University sources. Are they? We demand that the Rights of Conscience gruop disclose their source of funding for this mailing. If they insist that the issue surrounding abortion coverage on the student insurance is one of conscience, and not one of pro- or anti-choice, it must be shown that their funding and support is not comming from the churches or from Anti-Abortion organizations. I don’t think the Rights of Conscience group will be able to continue its neutrality stance on the issue of abortion once forced to disclose their financial backing. They are an anti-abortion group, thinly disguised as a neutral organization with an aim of taking away a woman’s legal right to an abortion. - — radical feminists who are mandatory abortion funding seem to regard such coverage as an -inalienable right. In addition Arlene Fisk UB CARASA Who is funding whom? To the Editor. compulsory payment for them, as implied. C.A.R.A.S.A C.A.R.A.S.A. further argued that an option would be “unfair and unrealistic” because it would require a woman to anticipate in advance the effects that an unwanted preganacy would have on her life. This argument is demeaning to women. It falsely presuipes that they do not think such matters through, that they are unable to act as thinking adults with consciences and a free will and to assume responsibility for their actions. Fifth, C.A.R.A.S.A. indicated that if there were no compulsory payment “the particular moral beliefsftof a small minority” will be imposed on everyone else. The truth is that the very opposite has The payment requires those with religious occurred. and moral objections to abortion to sacrifice these. C.A.R.A.S.A.’s most outrageous suggestion was that the absence of the abortion coverage and a compulsory payment will result in an increase in illegal abortions. Abortion is legal and whatever happens at UB will not affect that fact. Actually, it is a logical impossibility for a woman to have an illegal abortion in the the U.S. in the firsthand probably the second, trimester of pregnancy. It has 'also not been demonstrated that a woman’s decision about whether to opt for the coverage, or its availability at all, will influence her decision to have an abortion or not. It is disappointing that C.A.R.A.S.A. has obfuscated fair and rational discussion about this issue. We hope that we have helped to restore that and to make it clear that if there is enough support, an option can be arranged that will respect everyone s situation. ■ It has come to my attention that the Rights of Conscience Group is sending out letters to every student at SUNYAB. I have seen these letters. The letters, envelopes and enclosed postcards indicate that there is a great deal of money backing up this group. 1 would like to specifically ask this Rights of Conscience Group where they get their funds. It is obvious that students alone could not financially back up this group. If they are funded by SA, I would strongly protest how my student dues are being used. If they are being funded by a group outside the University, I would object to non-University organizations trying to influence students. Again, I would like to repeat jny question to the Rights of Conscience Group —who is funding you? Ann DemopoUlos SUNYAB CARASA Where? To the Editor. Yesterday I received a letter from the Rights of Conscience Group on campus. I was completely outraged. Besides the fact that they were cluttering my mailbox, they were also blurring the issue at hand. Having abortion coverage in the insurance policy gives women a choice: no coverage=no choice. Where is the Rights of Conscience Group’s concern for the rights of women? did the group get the money to do this, extensive mailing on printed letterheads and envelopes? Where did these people get my name and address? My rights of conscience are being violated if student organizations are providing mailing lists and/or funding fo; this group.

The average record buyer hardly knows reggae exists save for the more prominent artists which circulate in Rolling Stone (ugh). It is the final vestige or musical aura which hasn’t been raped by good ole American record capitalism. It is totally black art, expression, and due to the political and biblical inferences within the lyrics (salvation and freedom unto all in the land of hope Ethiopia) reggae belongs exclusively to the West Indies black man. The crudeness and production along with the resonant bass tone and eratic snare shots presents reggae as possibly the most creative, hypnotic and danceable of all black musics. Most musicians who partake in recording the albums-are self-taught, not a one can read music; the same goes for production it’s all played by ear with an intensive manifestation. Outside of Kingston, reggae is secondly most dominant in the UK (London), which has a huge West Indies populace. White admiration for the incessant beat first became evident in the mod period of England in the early 60’s. At the time the music was known as ska or "bluebeat” a cross between calypso/soul. Next, the fashion in the late sixties was called “skinhead” and they too found bluebeat to their liking. It eventually evolved into reggae. The beat was honed and perfected with the popularity of Jimmy Cliff’s classic role in the movie The Harder They Come, giving reggae the bite it needed. At the time people such as Jimmy and Byron Lee and Desmond Decker were the mainstays of the white focus (Jamaicans naturally had their own faves less known in England). The man supposedly given the most credit for breaking reggae into a natural phenomenon is none other than Bob Marley. Unfortunately Marley has gone astray after making it, basically he’s full of rap and it's never more evident than in his latest turkey"Babylon Bus," lame versions which can’t hold a cold fart next to his first live effort released in r 75’-76'. Reggae country on a — — producing an exotic and pure hypnotic atmosphere. This stuff by far outdistances much of what Marley is receiving plaudits for (producers and troubleshooters who rack and overload their panel boards often going into the red zone on the meters are the mainstay of Dub since their imagination on the control panel dictates the mood and hit potential: some of the best King Tubby, Joe Gibbs and Lee Perry). Most Dub is pursued by a vocalist who rifles phrases in and out of the tune weaving an additional and course called SKANK. Some people in this country have already caught the spell of U-Roy, l-Roy and U-Brown, who are very prominent in their Kingston scene. But probably one of the most liked musicians in all of Kingston is none other than Augustus Pablo. His records are always in demand and his tunes are as sweet as chocolate. Pablo plays keyboards on his tracks but the instrument that he is most noted for is the melodica. The guy’s incredible, just put him in front of the mike and listen to the fingers move and circulate a simplistic beauty. England today has virtually become addicted to "rebel rock’’ with a weekly top twenty singles and album chart, Thieves and One stylistic thief is Elvis Costello with his putrid song called "Watching the Detectives” mainly because I’m jealous of it. If white American people "dig" this number so much for the beat and the melodics why don’t they just pull their ears off their asses and stick’em back on their heads and LISTEN! The Stones did some "okay” things but I think songs like “Luxury” and "Crackin’ Up" were done in a stylistic sense (i.e., they probably ran out of material for album filler-hah). Mick and Keef got their fingers into the new Tosh elppe (mellloow AOR shit) and I felt like putting a bullet in Micks’ head the night he sang with Pete on Saturday Night Live. Hell, you just know the audience was going crazy over him and not Peter. Soooo, screw off to all those who just think they wanna be chic' and listen to something cuz it’s the proper rage. Who needs Jagger and Keef, they only helped Peter put out his most disappointing album (his best is Equal Rights, available on Columbia GET IT!), even though "Don’t Look Back” had tremendous hit potential. — Sooner or later the effect and love affair with reggae would naturally show up in the mainly British white musicians forte’ but strictly in an appreciable sense-save for a few dissenters. - Reggae admiration But I don't wanna get off on that tangent, so... ummm, okay other artists who have “tried" or attempted Simplistic beauty Today the music has met an even greater stage of improvisation called "DUB.” It is the most radical of all stages produced with a heavy and aggressive bass thud backed by a sharp hot mixture of snare popping, Auqimm P«bki One of the prime dub matters in Jamaica U-Roy Gaining reputation through *>uHul Skank most of the current material is available in all the right shops (which gets me sick with envy seeing as how I’ve got to scrape and run about discouraged with reggae selections they have in our shops), directly mainlined with Jamaica.

It’s the first attempt at such a notion which is available on the import single "Wild Wild Wild Youth” or the elpee Generation X. The other most prominent and recognized number was recorded by The Clash in 1977 originally done by Junior Murvin entitled "Police And Thieves.” This cut has received the highest praise of all, by original producer Lee Perry. Perry was so impressed by the group’s version that he obtained a photo of the group and pinned it on his studio wall with the other black artists which he has personally guided (yes, folks, once again we gonna get technical and ask: can the white man sing the pinks.)

Elvis Costello. Joan Armatrading. Kate Bush The list grows. Isn’t it about time that Reggae music takes a strong form in this country’s mainstream consciousness, even if much of it has to enter as a hybrid of rock? Or make ajuper star out of Marley? I surely know little about the subject a. the amount of exposure in this area is increasingly slightly. I mean, I remember “My Boy Lollipop” in '64 or Johnny Nash’s “I Can See Clearly Now” but never did I understand that these songs were simply the fringe of a deep rooted tradition and a serious cultural stance, usually related to the proximity of Jamaica. Even less did I realize that the origins of Reggae lie in Africa, or the later importance of rhythm and blues upon all that came after it right down to rock and roll. If I were to have begun this colum by listing truer reggae artists, as opposed to those influenced by reggae music Burning Spear, U Roy, the Heptanes, Third World, Dillinger, Revolutionaries there is no doubt that the names would have escaped all but a minority of people educated with an understanding of the religo/revolutionary aspects of Reggae, the spirit of exodus among the Rastafarians (not the total embodiment of the Reggae sound, however) and the downright danceable rhythm of the streets. Most only know of Bob Motley, Toots Hibbert (of the Maytals), Peter Tosh (once with Marley’s Waiters) or Jimmy Cliff, through his 1972 movie The Harder They Come. The reason? Exposure, or should I say, a lack thereof. I confess my interest in reggae music to have only recently expanded. I also condemn area radio for their inability to grasp what is not a trend but rather an important diffusion of culture. One may hear Marley or Tosh occasionally, but that is all. And as I discovered one night in trying to get Joan u Armatrading’s song “To The Limit" played on the local stations, only WBUF had the album in stock. Perhaps the problems with understanding reggae music in this country are the same so-called New Wave music has faced: that of a music bearing heavy socio-political implications, at times, trying to be interpreted by youth in a country that, for the ipost part, simply does not have the ability to identify with what the musicians are saying. (Perhaps this is why Marley penned “funky Reggae Party.”) This is the same reason that th6 English artists, such as Steel Pulse, are able to convincingly deliver reggae music, not just listen to it; a correlation may be seen between the development of reggae music in England and the punk/underground movement of that country. And if you even read Melody Maker you'll - Ct*tcrjir7g Klavjs - — find a separate reggae chart for top albums, a perfect example of how popular the music has gotten in that country. Remember that the British of the Sixties, were among the best imitators of the black R&B of the fifties. This leads to the other important aspect of reggae music; much as how rhythm and blues influenced rock and roll in the Sixties, reggae music has begun the same process in the Seventies. That is the reason for the'list of artists in the beginning; they are some of the people that have and will probably continue to indirectly bring reggae music to the masses. Yet it is still imperative that you find out what artists like the Heptones or Revelation or Family Choice are about for they represent the true basis from which other forms of music are beginning. And demand the area radio stations to play what we are all missing. I wanna find out what’s going on. —Tim Switolo — - Jimmy Cliff s latest Giving 'Thanx' to his roots Jimmy Cliff ,Give Thanx (Warner Brothers) Music of rhythm and Caribbean blue.

Reggae has gained the popularity of the people (despite growing fads even in said area) because the message and the pulse flows from people’s open expression not some contrived condescepsion.

Hopkins — •o Jamaican homeland" Looking from the inside at politics and art by LaSelve Harrison Up until 1959, calypso and American R&B dominated Jamaican radio, It was then a hybrid between R&B and calypso called ska was introduced. Within two decades, Jamaican music evolved from ska to bluebeat to rock steady and became reggae in the late 60’s. The music, changing as rapidly as the political, social and economic conditions on the island, became one of the main methods of making the masses aware of what was going on. Political warfare, riots and the activities of 'rude boy’ gangs of Kingston caused the emergence of a new beat called rock steady, heard on jukeboxes in the rural areas. In the 60’s, the Wailing Rude Boys (Bob Marley, Bunny Livingston and Peter Tosh) and other groups were all struggling IUAB artists whose talents were x used almost exclusively to increase producers’ assets. Bob Marley was popular on the local scene while artists Desmond Decker, Toots and )immy Cliff were popular internationally before Marley. Reggae's popularity in the States came after Eric Clapton, Johnny Nash and Barbara Streisand reggae remade local hits. Combined with the musical taste of the increasing number of Jamaican immigrants settling in the States, reggae found itself on the U.S. airwaves. By the early seventies, Bob Marley's tunes were West Indian in popular communities on the Eastern seaboard. Tours by reggae groups in the U.S. and Canada perked the interest of American recording companies who recognized reggae had a lucrative market.

The church provides the sole setting for those ritual celebrations of birth and marriage as well as the acceptance of death. Steeped in riches, the church reeks of all the ornamentation and grandeur the lives of these people lack, a lack they are unable to transcend. years The Deer Hunter centers on six men, all but one of whom work in the mill.

Camaraderie is strictly a male phenomenon set in the spark filled dark of the Sttel mill and the comfort of the nearest bar.

In his bar, the six friepds drink and laugh away the pressures of a job requiring a strength and patience they muster daily. In one of the film’s more poignant scenes, the friends are playing pool and downing beers while a jukebox blares Frankie Valli’s "Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You.” We smile as they sing along gleefully.

Photographed beautifully by veteran cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond, the movie’s one major flaw is comparatively slight. In a fit of overstatement, Cimino lets the film's score acquire the reverantial tone of a heavenly choir during the hunting scenes when OeNiro is on top of the mountains. Cimino's evident love for America does not need a heavy hand. Ultimately, The Deer Hunter is one of the best films of the' decade. Its message is one that rings true.

Ray Leslee, who arranged the music for this year’s production of The Threepenny Opera, wrote the Skeleton Key score. Director Fred Keller works out of the Office of Communication for the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo and pair of his funding came from the Diocese. Though this may give one pause, Keller assured me that the Diocese exercised no creative control over the film, but invested money in the project and provided him with the administrative framework of the Office of Communication simply out of concern for the issue of red-lining raised by the film. "And anyway,” Mr Keller said, “our funding came from many sources, the Catholic Diocese being only one.” Skeleton Key was made for only $30,000. Fred Keller’s original ambitions for the film were small. He had hoped to interest Channel 17, the local PBS station, in his film "but things have gone much further than I ever expected.” When he showed it to WIVB officials, “they liked the film so much they decided to give us a whole evening’s programming.” Fred Keller will be screening his film for PBS and network officials in Hollywood. Skeleton Key could go much further still. Though I cannot vouch for the quality of the film (since I was unable to attend the preview), the film bears checking into. Skeleton Key is but another happy sign of the weakening of network control over television and the rise of regionally fostered talent over the capital-intensive, profit-hungry projects of Hollywood.

Debra Daly, the organizer and driving force behind Just Buffalo answers Anselm Hollow’s question by saying that he was responding to a call. This summons to Buffalo is one heard and responded to by many of the major American poets, and by some important foreign poets as well.

UB the A English major in — i 'The Coup': New Updike Partly in response to the effortless and essential detail of the cinema (which, as a narrative medium, is the novel’s major competitor), modern literature has, in its more exalted states turned away from mimesis, concentrating instead on the formal elements of the narrator, plot, character and style. Instead of laboring to invoke a time and place in vivid detail (accomplished infinitely more effectively with images by the cinema than the novel can with* words), the writer-artist of the present century has focused on the relationship between himself and the structural conventions defining the novel. So-called “experimental” or “avante-garde" novels have resulted from this shift in emphasis. While many of these are cold-blooded formalistic exercises, many others are novels of great subtlety and personality that constitute much of the body of great twentieth century literature. The novels of James Joyce, Alain Robbe-Grillet (who is also a notable filmmaker), and Vladimir Nabokov are masterful and idiocyncratic studies in style and structure almost novels about f >4 stood on its long legs like a Martian invader puzzling what to do next In winter these fields turned white, white sprinkled with the black calligraphy of snow fences and leafless trees ..." Ironically, Updike’s craftfulness partially undoes his devotion to mimesis by drawing the reader’s attention to his descriptive gyrations and thus leads to a stylism placing him in good stead with the main thrust of twentieth century literature. The Coup is the fictional memoirs of Col. Hakim Felix Ellellou, once the monomanical dictator of a fictional West African nation called Kush and now exiled in France. Felix, penning his recollections in the balmy, sea air of a Riviera cafe, writes about his past incarnation as leader of an Islamic Marxist regime in the third person when he acted in an official capacity and first person when recalling his private experience. The shifts in narrative voice are smooth and rarely noticed. Felix Jvii — novels. John Updike on the other hand, has stood steadfastly by Aristotle’s famous dictim: art imitates life. Updike's novels including A Month of Sundays, Rabbit, Run; Couples, Marry Me, Rabbit Redux are plump with description. In his ceaseless striving to transcribe the white, middle-class, suburban experience into prose, Updike makes no pretensions of journalistic concision. He feels that no object is too insignificant to jubilantly describe. If it forms a part of his characters' environment, then it’s potentially relevant. Thus, we find in his novels scrupulous descriptions of cigarettes, breakfast cereals, sport shirts, drug stores, and electrical outlets. This provides his world with a sensual fullness, a world that is, for most of us, the world of our own reckoning. A deft stylist, he avoids the affected sparsity of the avante-garde on one hand and random saccarine glut on the other. This successful stance between the curt and the corpulent is achieved by a masterful control of his mimetic propensities; every detail is pressed into the service of his thematic ends. John Updike spares no effort to show us how beautiful and rapturous the English language can be. His metaphors and modifiers are ecstatic, leaving the impression of Updike as a man happy in his work. Occasionally however, his love of description leads him into squishy lines placing an almost absurd stylistic stress on undeserving details. In his most recent novel, The Coup, Updike describes the hot African sun over a desert highway by penning "The day arched like a blinding headache above the endless meal of kilometers.” To describe a star in the evening sky, he writes, "... an advance scout of the. starry armies trembled like a pearl suspended in a giant goblet of heavenly nectar.” Fortunately, these are few. In the very same paragraph, as my first example, his love of metaphor achieves a striking description of the Midwestern countryside viewed from a speeding car. “And Felix felt a meaning too in the backs of billboards visible on the left, slatted structures solemnly designed, cut, trussed, and nailed, to carry a commercial message fleetingly; one billboard has a curved silhouette which a backwards glance revealed to be that of a pickle, and another the outline, ominous when seen from a far, of a steer advertising his own demise through the channels of a local steakhouse. In the occasional distance a water tower —ft Jtemit John Updike spares no effort to show us how beautiful and raptuous the English language can be. fascinating company. He is a witty, intelligent, explosive man with an acute sense of poetry, irony and the absurd. Updike puts into his mouth waggish insights, glib quotes from the Koran, and Marxist babble. Filtered through his narration, Felix’s exploits must be taken as parodic comedy. The Coup chronicles his experiences beginning in 1973 when Kush lay prostrated after five years of drought, widespread starvation, and an almost makes non-exsistant economy (thanks to Ellellou's fanatical devotion to the ruinous Islamic and Marxist policies). He sets out on a quixotic rhission into the Balak, an arid wilderness of mountains weirdly sculpted by restless, sand-bearing winds. His hope is to discover and extirpate the religious (and perhaps political) reason for the half-decade of niggardly skies. Although it might seem as if The Coup is a major break with Updike's usual concerns, it is not. The Coup is, like his previous novels, about white, middle-class America, this time using the eyes of an African, eyes unaccustomed to the sights of an amazingly prosperous, idealistic and dangerous nation. Through Felix, educated in a Wisconsin college, we see how strange, wonderful and reckless our culture really is. As Col. Ellellou, he attempts to save Kush from America, “that fountain ofobsenity and glut,” reserving it instead for the cruel, killing purity of Islamic Marxism. His Kush is the antonym that defines America. As such, The Coup joins an impressive succession of excellent novels expertly parodying and evoking the milieu of most Americans. As such, The C6up joins an impressive succession of excellent novels expertly parodying and evoking the milieu of most Americans. Laced with exuberant metaphors and comely description, The Coup is a happy reading experience and a felicitous addition to American literature. -Ross Chapman INTRODUCING THE WORLD'S FIRST FOOT LONG EGG ROLLS 5^ 38 KENMORE AVE.

The plot thickens i t w Jamaica. be signed to a long term As the group’s contract was finalized with Island Records, rumor had it that there were disputes among the members concerning the billing of the group. Tosh felt that by using Bob Marley and the Wailers, a name was being made for Marley alone; in addition Marley was getting credit for the songs which Tosh were actually communal efforts. The fame of Bob Marley was to mean Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer were to remain forever in the background. Many people believe that reggae and rastafari are one and the same. This is false, although most of the popular artists are rastas. This misconception exists largely through the media hype of American recording companies. Time called Marley “a political force to rival the government.” But this isn’t likely because rastafarians (of which Bob is one) political not advocate do involvement. In spite of this, an attempt was made on Marley’s life three years ago during a free concert he performed during a time of high political tensions on the island. The style of reggae is constantly changing, reflecting the national mood. Middle class educated Jamaicans were at first skeptical of the new grassroots sounds, however, it was not long before they too capitulated and grooved to the throbbing drums and rhythmic bass guitar that is the bottom line of reggae as we know it today. After the split, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer and Bob Marley became individual recording artists as they continued to share to 1 contract. ? * E t & f o> 2? ffelt if ? —continued from • ; page 13— • the same back-up band for some time. Listening carefully to Tosh’s compositions, it becomes evident that he is as skilled a writer as Marley. His first album, Legalize It, with the hit song of the same name, made waves in the music world and was banned on several Jamaican stations, mainly because of its suggestive lyrics about marijuana. With his debut album, Tosh firmly established his place in the hearts of his fans. His second album Equal Rights delivered die urgent message about the freedom fighters and the conditions in which they fought Mozambique, Angola and South Africa. This album message of delivered a revolutionary solutions to the conditions which cause economic and spiritual slavery of the black man. His recently released third album, Bush Doctor, has a revised version of "Legalize It. His new band, Word, Sound and Power, backs his urgent and direct message, affecting the conscious and sub-conscious of those who hear him. Tqsh’s analysis of the system in which he lives causes him to take an urgent stand against the forces causing spiritual and economic slavery for the peoples of African descent; peoples who have been detained illegally in the West since the Emancipation Act of 1834. Influenced by his life as a Jahrastafarian, Tosh sings “Everyone is crying out peace, none is crying out for justice. I don’t want no peace ’till my brothers get equal rights and justice. We all need equal rights and justice...” That is the essential Peter Tosh, not the mirage the press insists on painting. TOSH TOSS: Reggae artist Peter Tosh will toss the reggae beach ball to students and regular fans at State's Moot Hall Buffalo Saturday night at 8 p.m. Tosh is probably the most melodic of any of his former Waiters cohorts. His zippy tunas have almost brilliant hooks perhaps the only hops for reggae to hit the top 40 charts. What is admirable about Tosh, and reggae itself, is its political motivations, undisguised, fluid, never pretentious. Toth, speaking out in a government which is now Communist, was mostly physically beaten and seriously injured by Jamaican government police last fall after speaking months before for the legalization of marijuana at a concert while — the Jamaican Prime Minister was him. Still, this is no throwback to '60's figurative onstage with leftism — rhetoric and all that — and that makes the onstage act more of a bravery thing because of repression in that Caribbean Local rock bands form swift-moving Buffalo undercurrent by Tim Switala Editor's note: This is the second half of a two-part series on local bands In Buffalo that quest to break it big through original compositions and individualized attitudes.

The Jumpers One of the finest qualities of the Jumpers, as disclosed in their recent interview on WBUF’s “Anything That’s Rock," is their strong respect for the traditional rock and roll heroes.

The reason these bands comprise the Buffalo Underground should once more be made clear. For the most part, these are area musicians that promote themselves as artists, visually, aurally and lyrically, making statements, rather than adopting the pre-existing work of other artists. Quite often this results in financial instability and hard times for the majority of the aforementioned.

Nuff said for now. �Third consecutive year IELI host Soviet scholars this summer The Intensive English Language Institute at the State University at Buffalo has been selected for the third consecutive year to host a-group of scholars from the Soviet Union. The Soviet scholars will spend eight weeks at U/B this summer to study American methods of thteaching English as a foreign language About 80 scholars, all teachers of English at Soviet universities, have visited U/B during the past two summers. ._ Stephen C. Dunnett, director of the U/B Intensive English Language Institute (IELI), noted that no other university in the country has been selected by the International Research and Exchanges Board, which administers the program, to host it for more than two years. The U.S. Department of State funds the program. “The amount of community participation in the program was a major factor in U/B being selected again,” Dr. Dunnett said, citing the Soviets’ home stays with area families, visits to local attractions and the interest shown by people in the community. Last year’s visitors were especially pleased when the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra hosted them at a special picnic and private concert, Dr. Dunnett explained, adding, “these experiences don’t happen anywhere but in a city like Buffalo.” Dr. Dunnett emphasized that the Soviet scholars participate in a strong academic program while they are at the IELI. The scholars are expected to arrive in Buffalo in late June Blacks remember Malcolm X, crusader in freedom movement by Durriya Safiuddin Spectrum Staff Writer “The black man must pay the price for freedom ...” and that price, he said, “is death.” These words of the immortal Malcolm X created a hush in the darkness of the Woldman Theater as the film, dedicated to the causes of this vibrant crusader, came a finish. The to an documentary provided appropriate opening for a program entitled, “A Requiem for Malcolm X,”, sponsored by the Black Student Union on Friday as part of Black History Month. According to Board Member William Higgs, the general purpose of Black History Month is “to acknowledge things that black people have done that have been left out of history books.” Malcolm X was a vital parl oTth'e black movement towards freedom. He began as a disciple of Elijah Muhammed, seeking to unite the Black Muslims into a Nation of Islam, and later became an independent political figure with his own followers. But, "he was stricken down and taken from us at a point when he was leading black people in a positive direction,” Higgs said. Student glue The documentary on the life of Malcolm X, or El Hajj Malik Jabbar as he was later called, was produced three years ago by Gil Noble, who is presently the host of a public affairs program, Like It Is, aired in New York City. that his Noble indicated iq involvement the film’s production was a result of his “responsibility to do what they had in mind:” “they” referring to l&ders such as Malcolm X' and Martin Luther King, who that blew explosion the instigated open the doors of institutions to blacks, consequently allowing Noble to attain the position he now holds. Noble emphasized however, that it was not only the efforts of the leaders that were crucial, but also the work of students, for “they were the glue.” He added, fearless and “They were magnificent and they turned this country inside out.” Nobel’s eloquent and dynamic oration succeeded in moving his audience. The evidence of this was seen both in the facial expressions of his listeners and in the applause that followed many of his His speech focused on the necessity for blacks to reject the corrupt values forced on them in order to galrf the liberties to which they are entitled. He claimed that blacks have “been lead astray by an elaborate planning structure” and went ( on to state that the mass media’s representation of the black person “psychological has induced stupor.” Elaborating on this idea, he mentioned the fact that we are all aware of “black clowns” such as Jimmy Walker and Richard Pryor, but are not well informed about black heroes. Master plan Noble also declared that the massive increase in drug and alcohol use on campuses throughout the nation in the sixties, at a time when students were aware and concerned about social conditions, was not a mere coincidence, but again a part of a master plan. He said; “remember, as long as you are high, your enemies can relax... the only system you will destroy is your own.” Nobel’s amusing style somehow made his remarks on basic moral issues exceedingly believable. His comment that disco is not real dancing because the flashy strobe lights tend to hide faulty footwork added comic relief. His final statement that “those who fail to plan, plan to fail,” was perhaps_a warning to his young listeners. Two poems in honor of Malcolm X were recited by members of the Black Student Union following Nobel’s speech were with greeted and overwhelming approval. The program concluded with the soulful rendition of a Gospel choir. ■ rkoofii'sl I !*\ Ding Thing { I One double order I [ J! of Cbiekon Must j FREE I with dia purehaM of a douhta.

It is not until such overt signs as greying hair and bulging waistlines appear that we begin to pay aging much Aging is an of youth iMm; (•' - 'Sr- ' . In other societies, increasing age is accompanied by increasing prestige. Traditional Chinese society treats the oldest members of the family with reverence and respect. This is not true of America. Ours is a youth-oriented culture. We revere those of strong body and sound health. Jack Benny’s idea of the. perennial 39th birthday is very popular; people don’t like to admit their age. The general attitude is that the older person is no longer capable of contributing to society. He is “over the hill.” But as. these problems enter the public’s awareness, they attract the attention of social scientists. Thus, a whole new field ofscientific inquiry is evolving social gerontology. - HANDS OFF; Although thit Hayes Hall wire is insulated and not high voltage, people are warned to stay clear of it and other loose wires in the building.

That report also estimated that as many as five million secretaries and typists in West Europe could lose jobs within ten years. Commercial, The West German-based company, a high technology multinational, took a look at the potential for automating German business offices recently and predicted that 40 percent of all office work is suitable for automation. West German trade unions say this means about two million secretaries and typists. Swiss watches Micrbproe ejsso r b a se d automation of the West German clock industry, and the loss of much of the industry to American electric watch companies, has roughly halved employment in that sector. The same process, on a larger scale, has hit the Swiss watch industry. Advocates of both ihdustrial and service sector automation argue that by Increasing Siemens - productivity, which the microprocessor promises to do, it will bring about an economic growth rate that will create new job markets. However, say skeptics, widespread .automation will require an extremely high economic growth rate to create an adequate number of jobs. Such a' rate may be impossible economically and undesirable environmentally. Also, unlike the last great wave of automation panic, which hit the manufacturing sectors in the 1950s an£ 1960s, there may be no place for the displaced office worker to go. The service sector, which absorbed the displaced manufacturing workers in years past, is itself the object of automation today, particularly, in hiph-employment industries such as banking, insurance, and in retail trades. This situation has prompted British"reseafeher Colin Hines, of the Earth Resources Research group, to write, “What has to be faced over the next few years is that vast sections of the industrial and service sectpr will be automated and millions may lose their jobs.” V page 9— future are viable. New York’s Citibank, for instance, the nation’s second only up 25 percent, to two and a half million? However, the government by then “employed” no less than 10,000 computers. American labor union officials tend to be vaguely concerned, but mostly in the dark about both the potential impact of automation and any remedies for dealing with it. The Internationa) Typographical. Union, which has been hardest hit in recent years by the computerized newsroom and largest bank, has undertaken one of the most advanced and ambitious office automation plans in the country. It aims to install computer-driven word and data typesetter, has essentially agreed to its own eventual demise. Kitty Conlan, an official of the Service Employees International Union, which represents 600,000 The only (remaining labor-intensive sector that might be able to ,absorb workers is human services, including health, recreation and education. Jobs in this sector tend to be non-profit. While automation of the office has yet to make an appreciable impact on employment in Europe or America, some signs of the and electronic mail workers in various service and in offices all around 'recreation industries, says that the the world, each linked to■ all subject has been discussed by others by a massive and union officials but no action has instantaneous telecommunications ever been taken, “it seems like processors equipment system. By the end of_this year, the plan calls* for installation of such equipment in 1000 Citicorp offices. Eventually, the system will link equipment in as many as 6000 offices. According to a description of the system by International Data Corporation, which appeared in Fortune magazine, “the system has resulted in better customuer 50 percent better relations, production and 40 percent staff reduction Isolation .. In a talk to the American Institute of Industrial Engineers, Citibank vice president Bruce Hasenyager estimated that about ten percent of middlemanagement personnel could be cut. “The salaries of 700 are saved,” he said,' “and the remaining 7,300 can use the technological advances to manage more efficiently.” Hasenyager also suggested the day may not be far off when secretarial jobs will require a masters degree in business administration and will be regarded as an entry-level step into management. Another illustration of the impact of the computer in the office is in the federal government, which has long been criticized as being isolated by huge office bureaucracies. According to a report to Congress by the Comptroller General in 1977, the government employed two million civilians in 1950, when it had a $40 billion budget, and two computers. By fiscal 5 you’re always trying to deal with things like this after they’ve happened,” she sale). Conlan noted that when her union was first formed it represented mainly elevator operators and bowling alley pin-chasers. Thanks to automation in those fields, “we have maybe five elevator operators in the union today, and no pin-chasers.” Attrition Bill Reidy, research director,©! Office and Professional the Employees International, acknowledges that automation will “definitely” have an impact on his union, f “The employment creation effect is likely to be too small to offset -the losses,” he says. Besides, the union can have little impact on industry practices, as 100,.000 office only about workers are organized, a tiny fraction of the millions of office workers in America. Reidy also blames the U,S; Department of Labor for “being asleep” as far as automation job impact is concerned. The 7 JO, 000-strong Retail Clerks Union is also anticipating a problem Xt°ni atuomated check-outs. While it is not yet widespread (only about 500 computerized check-outs are now installed in grocery stores), union official Walt Davis claims that increased use could “wipe ouJ,half the cashiers.” Such a situation may be forestalled, however, given a recent Supermarket Institute survey that found that the average customers’ two most important concerns were “cleanliness and friendly clerks.” However, • says Davis, “our position is that no trade union has ever effectively fought off automation. The best we can do is write clauses into our contracts that no one shall lose jobs because of automation. Then let attrition take care of it.” The pink aluminum walls of Annex A house the Multidisciplinary Center for the Study, of Aging. The center is staffed by a dedicated group of 12 individuals coordinating University arid community resources for the developmental programs and courses in gerontology. “We are not a department; we are a center,” says Dr. Susan Kulick, associate director of the Multidisciplinary Center. “We don’t give courses and we don’t offer degrees. We coordinate efforts on campus and throughout the entire Western New York community with programs related to gerontology.” On campus, this involves eight departments or schools offering undergraduate and graduate courses in gerontological studies. Off-campus, it means workshops, seminars, conferences and the like held in all of the eight Western New York counties. Courses - - on the aging are presently being offered in fields such as anthropology, Amefican studies, environmental design and planning, cellualar and molecular biology, educational administration, and occupational therapy. “We’re supposed to develop cooperative relations among the disciplines that have been largely theoretical until now. It’s becoming more practical.” Dr. Kulick explains that the center acts as a connecting conduit for faculty, administration and government funding sources. This is a necessary service since the 1971 White House Conference on the Aging began a flood of spending on fhe elderly. It was then that the Administration on Aging was formed from which the Multidisciplinary Center receives funds. Funding conduit While multidisciplinary centers are new otr the scene, more and more government agencies are using them as funding conduits. Dr. Kulick said that when faculty members began realizing that “there was money for aging, they began coming to" us with ideas for getting a share.” With a currenUbudget of nearly $350,000, the center is funding 16 graduate students and 5 faculty members. But the key factor in the Center’s success is its involvement of faculty with the community and its commitment to the elderly. The Center’s an exciting idea. But it’s not for people who need to be compartmentalized. You can literally do whatever you want. Of course, you run the risk of becoming fragmented, of ending up doing twelve things and none of them well,” says Dr. Kulick. “The center needs the support of the administration. It requires the faculty to talk to one another and to develop camaraderie. They must be willing to y share students, resources and ideas.” Last year’s federal legislation removing the mandatory retirement regulations is expected to have a significant effect on the elderly and indeed, on all of us. The center sees itself as a catalyst for dialogue and planning for the anticipated changes in our community. It has pre-retirement planning programs for various industry and service organizations. The free program covers topics ranging from public attitudes towards the elderly to housing and legal for the elderly. Ambitions This is one of many ambitious programs sponsored by the Multidisciplinary Center and the Center looks forward to a productive year. “We are looking forward to new programs, new ideas, and continued growth of the Center,” says Kulick. “Our relationships among the departments have strengthened and the Center continues to be a catalyst for gerontological interest on campus and in the community.” , I O requirements, he Ed pointed out. There are also provisions for those departments with rigid isuor requirements for accreditation, such as engineering aqd the health sciences, to be exempt from part or even all of the program, he ! - said. Hits the fan Peradotto said that he hoped to avoid subjecting another class of students to “the present mindless distribution system.” (The program would have applied to those enrolling in Fall ’79, but will now debut with the freshman Class of 1980.) Citing Harvard’s vaunted General Education program, which lagged for nine years from .inception' until implementation, Peradotto —continued from page 1— . . . emphasized the need to prevent a long delay at UB.

This list of proposals must be condensed into one acceptable to both the Legislature and citizens, since any legalization of gambling take the form of a constitutional amendment. Such must an amendment requires acceptance by two consecutive, separately elected legislatures and then by the state voters in an Election Day referendum. If the constitution is so amended, the voters of separate localities must approve casinos for their region. So’ faTtetv groups have Mfeft forecast the percentage willing to increase in tourist revenues, and even fewer have been willing to listeij to these findings. One such HEAR 0 ISRAEL For gems from th* Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 report, however, presented by the New York State Legislative Institution, estimated that tourist revenues would increase by only 10 percent at important tourist sites in the State such as Niagara Falls and the Catskills. Resorts International But, hotel and restaurant managers interviewed in Niagara Falls all thought this estimate to be quite conservative, with opinions on the possible economic impacts ranging from “substantial” to “tremendous.” One hotel manager concluded that “anyone with business interests in downtown Niagara Falls would be all for it.” Casinos, hopefully, would also spur improvement of other area entertainments, attracting more visitors and lengthening the average time of their stay. " Profits at Resorts International Hotel, the sole casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, have averaged well over a half million dollars daily. This alone is encpuraging for that area’s slumped economy and if other casinos were added more revenue would be accrued. Yet the status of Resorts International, and in a large way, the status of other casino aspirants, hinges precariously on its ability to obtain a permanent license this year. If the license -comes through, a flood of reputable financial inatitutions would be willing for'the first time in history to back casino construction, which in many instances calls for huge initial investments of as much as $ 1 billion. Community Benefits The resulting boom in the number of casinos built would then increase profits for many local businesses, boost the local employment rate and the amount of taxes derived both directly from the casinos and indirectly from the healthier business sectors. If Resorts International obtains a permanent license, the casino industry’s hopes will also expand to a national level. “At some point, there will probably be a dozen states that will have legalized gambling,” expressed securities analyst David Londoner of the securities firm Wirtheim & Co. in a Wall Street Journal interview. However, the Resorts if International Hotel cannot obtain a permanent license, which rests on its ability to avoid organized crime any c onnections, enthusiasm from lenders and legislators across the country may be killed. New York’s prospects look good because of its size and because likely casino locations are dispersed from Long Island to the Catskills and on to Niagara Falls. These resorts would probably get first approval because Aey'db depend largely on tourism, but New York City and Buffalo, due to their political clout, may also get the nod. Some Buffalo leaders are enthusiastic about potential of casinos to conventions, but many politicians Niagara Falls feel that casinos in Buffalo might compete too heavily with their own, and their State legislators; have opposed staunchly including from SOFT CONTACT LENSES • BAUSCH • & LOMB the draw Buffalo in any statewide gambling scheme. Still, overall political support the area has been highly and Assemblymen favorable. senators from the Niagara Falls district voted unanimously in support of last year’s, package; assemblymen from Erie County voted seven to three in favor while the four Erie County senators split their votes. In city council mandates last year, the city councils voted seven to four in Buffalo and four to one in Niagara Falls in favor of casino gambling. The lone dissenting vote in and the expansion of the company makes it easier for crime figures to justify an exhorbitant life-style to the Internal Revenue Service. Either type of involvement results in more power for organized crime. Yet because of the big potential benefits to be many derived, citizens and legislators may look the other way to all but the most flagrant hints of organized crime involvement. Niagara Gazelle reporter Don Glynn, who spent several weeks and politicians Niagara Falls came from Baptist interviewing Atlantic in City, businessmen Tangent.

What indicates this is the fact that he’s the first UB hockey player ever to make two tournament all-star teams in one year,” Wright acclaimed. witnessed Assistant Sports Editor S icers He is undersized by hockey standards, standing at S feet 8, and weighing 170 pounds. But like Bryan Trottier and Marcel Dionne, Ed Patterson has a wealth of talent that more than makes up for his shortcoming. In fact, the Bulls’ captain is often recognized as being a fast, explosive player, the speediest skater and the best playmaker on the UB squad. Yet the Rochester native’s character may well be what has earned him the respect and admiration of his teammates, his coach and even his opponents. Patterson wears the “C” of a captain on his heart, not just on his uniform, and demonstrates it in the way he carries himself off the ice. “He’s a team leader, was teammate and line mate Brien Crow’s appraisal. “He’s the kind of captain you’d like to have he gets along with all the players, he gives the younger guys insight, and helps them out.” Indeed, almost to a man, the Bulls seem to associate the name Patterson with friendliness and care, more than with captain and leader. “When we voted for a ” — Standing ovations The coach regards Patterson as a low-key type of individual, but you could not tell by the way he performs while wearing a Bull’s uniform.

This year, though, we’ve picked up on the offense, and it has hurt me a bit defensively. We’ve given up a lot more goals than we usually do, but fortunately we’ve also scored quite a few more than the skating prowess,and brought the crowd to its feet by scoring with an effortless deke. “He’s a real ‘take-control’ center; more than others, he seems to set the tempo of the game,” lauded the captain’s other “red line” winger, Tom Wilde. “E.J.’s a good playmaker he knows where everybody is.” Wjlde should know from experience, as his team-leading 31 goals were — - made possible partly by opposition.” Patterson’s Buffalb-high 33 assists. proof Further of Wilde’s statement can be found by gazing through the UB statistics sheet, which lists the “red line” members as the top three point-scorers.

Although he is a vital cog in UB coach Ed Wright, who has captain last year,” goaltender Bill Kaminska related, “we took into consideration what qualities he getting along with should have everybody, having the leadership ability, being on good terms with the team and Ed fit all the categories, he was a perfect choice, so he got by, far the Not always outstanding Patterson also revealed that unlike many a good hockey performer, he has never tried to pattern himself after any great professional star, even if he does have a personal favorite. “Of all the great centers, 1 like Bobby Clarke (of the Philadelphia Flyers) above any other,” Patterson • disclosed. — VINDICATION , To oil Minority Students from Minority Student Affairs - The - Come show what you can do.

It’s Just something that he’s learned over the four years, to be more unselfish with the puck.” Even Patterson himself remembers the season of 1975-76, his first year at Buffalo. “My freshman year 1 had a little trouble adjusting,” he remembered. “I tried not to be an individual, but at times one ends up being one, although not on purpose.” Patterson has enjoyed playing for the Bulls, a four-year career that has by his own admission, enriched his life. “I really enjoyed playing here at UB; it’s been qilite an experience, probably four of the best years ever for me.” And Patterson refuses to quit, playing the sport he loves.

The victory helped bring UB’s record to 6-18. The packed bleachers came to life midway through the second half, with the appearance of Buffalo Center Nate Bouie. Benched for showing up to the” game late, Bouie’s debut suddenly pumped new blood into a failing Bulls' attack. About the only thing that had kept UB in the game was the shooting resurrection of Fred Brookins and the smooth consistency of Tony Smith. Suffering through what he termed a disappointing senior campaign, Brookins received his first starting nod since December, thanks to some insightful thought by coach Bill Hughes. “I took a hunch,” HugRfes said, explaining why Brookins (who scored 19 started for Bouie. points) “Brookins has been in three STRAINING: Although benched for the majority of Tuesday night's clash with previous games with Buffalo the Bengals of Buffalo State, center Nete Bouie hopped off the seat to help the State, so I felt he knew the Bulls Jo an exciting 53—52 upset of the cross-twon rivals.

Have.a friend give the key short, quick bursts until the cam lines up properly. This takes a fair time and a amount of considerable amount of luck. The illustration shows what the line-up looks like. Making sure you can see the points well, slip the feeler gauge between the points and move the adjusting screw until the gauge just sticks a bit as it is removed. When done correctly, the gauge e e —continued from page 21— . .002 of an inch larger will not fit, and the size .002 smaller will slide in with room to spare. When the gap is correct ( Are you positive?) tighten the locking screw without moving the gap. This only takes three hands the first time, but everything is downhill from here on. Replace the coil wire and tighten down the screws one more time. Put the new rotor on the shaft by lining up the groove in the shaft with the slot in the rotor, install the cap, making sure it’s seated properly, and the hardest part of the tune-up is done. Basically, what we’ve done is adjust the distribution of the spark by setting the points to the circuit to close, the coil once for each time a plug is to fire. The condenser simply regulates the voltage across the points to keep them from out. The rotor and cap actually distribute The spark, passing it from the coil, through the center wire of the distributor, through the rotor to each of the cylinders at the spark plugs. The gap is set to provide a specific amount of time (called Dwell) for the spark to travel. As the last step, we’ll replace the spark plugs. Remove one at a time with a spark plug wrench nothing else! The agonies of such folly cannot be fully appreciated until you have broken off a plug still in the hole through the moronic use of regular pliers or a wrench. The engine should not be hot, for obvious reasons. Inspect each plug as it is removed. They should show a uniform tan coloring. If they appear black and oily, see a professional mechanic the car may be in need of major repair work. Again in the manual, look up the correct spark plug gap for the engine. Using the plug gapping tool, the method is obvious. If you don’t have one, you can use the feeler gauges you used for the points and adjust the electrode by pressing it against a clean bench top. This method would make any mechanic grimace, but it does work. The plug is gapped by bending the electrode: the shaft of metal that is welded onto the side and sticks out over space to the center of the plug. When fooling around with the plugs,, handle them carefully so you don’t break off the insulator ( the glass stuff) or damage the threads. If the plugs had washers inside the box, put them, on, too. Lastly, replace the plugs one at a time, tightening each on e only slightly too much torque will break the plug or strip the hole, each resulting in a sizable repair bill. Replace the wires on the plugs tightly, and the job is complete. I like to keep the oh) set of plugs (when they’re in good shape) and the old point set in the trunk in case something unexpected comes up on the road. I hope the job wasn’t too difficult, and you found it interesting.

Research grants, individual mass of complicated statistics and procedures. For that reason, SUNY incorporated the Research Foundation in 1975 to handle all research related activities for SUNY. The Foundation acquires the grants for the researcher, and negotiates with the Federal Government (from where most of the grants originate) for the amount of overhead assigned to a prpjecf. The Foundation also handles all payments by the Federal agencies. Some of that money is used to finance the operation of the Foundation, some is returned to the sponsoring institution, the rest goes to the a independent that handles all research grants for the system. While the budget has yet to be passed, in all probability the figure wilFnot be altered by the State Legislature. According to the Assistant Vice-Chancellor for Research at SUNY Herbert Central MacArthur, the State’s actions are playing havoc with the Foundation and with the N SUNY, an corporation K Strange formulas state The concept of overhead, or indirect costs is equally complex. During the course of research activity, the University will pay the bills incurred during the work. the Then, after Foundation negotiates with the Federal Government, U.B. will get a slight portion of what it originally paid out back from the State. It is on that point where some U.B. say administrators that this University, and SUNY. are “shortchanged” by the state. About 13 percent of all research grant money is reserved for overhead costs utility bills, depreciating, amortization and etc. In fiscal year 1978-79, the states portion of overhead grant money amounted to $1.8 million SUNY-wide. In the coming year, the Governor’s Fxecutive Budget asks for a payment of $2.4 million from the Research Foundation of schools. MacArthur who is also a Foundation official said the Foundation has been cutting back in staff, partly because of increasing the monetary demands placed upon SUNV by the State Division of Budget (DOB). “It has been difficult to find small amounts of money for individual projects we would like to see in operation,” he said. MacArthur singled out the University program Awards which aids young professors on SUNY campuses in their first research efforts. “We have found that this program has suffered due to a lack of money," MacArthur said. MacArthur criticized the Slate for taking too much money away from SUNV and from the Foundation with DOB's unusual formulas. The State contends, MacArthur said, that since It pays the bills through the operating budgets of the individual schools, It is entitled to at least a portion of the money SUNV receives from the Federal Government. In essence, the position of the State is that the Federal government should pay for all the costs incurred from grants it approves. “We do not quibble with the State’s belief that they should have some money returned to the state coffer, we just wish they wouldn’t take so much, -continued on page 2— Resignation leaves WSC, American Studies in crisis by John H. Reiss Frustrated by consistently battling in vain to improve her programs, Associate Professor Lillian Robinson has resigned, and her departure has sent shock waves pulsing through the American Studies Program and Women’s Studies College (WSC). The loss of Robinson, who was becoming increasingly prominent in her field of women’s studies, coupled with the departure next year of Professor hlizabeth Kennedy, who will leave on sabbatical, creates a massive void in WSC and could seriously affect enrollments in American Studies. 'American Studies received half the enrollment credit for most courses taught by WSC, and a significant loss of students in American Studies will only add lo the enrollment crisis experienced by the Faculty of Arts and Letters. A worried Charles Keil, Acting CHairman of American of Robinson “decimates the Studies, claimed the Women’s Studies part of our program. It guts it.” A drawing card He explained that in addition to the prospect of an enrollment drop in WSC, there is a serious problem of keeping WSC afloat. “What’s crippling,” he said, “is the process of sustaining Women’s Studies is a terrible drain. The questions are: Can Women’s Studies College survive?; can the curriculum be maintained?; and how can American Studied sustain its enrollment strength?” Knrollment, of course, is the key question for Arts and Letters. Thti_F acuity has been experiencing a steady loss in students and as a result, will take the brunt of instructional losses as the University adjusts to the student-faculty ratios outlined in Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn’s Academic Plan.3uffetted by its relationship with WSC, American Studies has had relatively high enrollments, and a loss in students now would only worsen an already troubling predicament. ' Keil feels that Robinson, who has been on sabbatical, would have been a good drawing card for the Women’s "Studies program upon her return. She recently finished-a book. Sex, Class and Culture, and will soon publish another book on television. “She’s very, very smart,” Keil said, “and she’s just beginning to blossom on the Inside: Trustees discuss tuition—P. 2 scene. Arts and Letters is looking lo improve its enrollments. We (American Studies) are second best in terms of enrollments and faculty and she would have been a good drawing card. Her loss will be felt that way. You publication Special lo The Spectrum / just can’t replace somebody like that." Keil said that Robinson’s departure would also hinder American Studies’ attempts to launch its Ph.l). program, Robinson has spearheaded American Studies’ efforts lo devise a successful Ph.l). program since 1973, and Keil said she would have continued to be the driving force in that endeavor. Robinson was hired on an American Studies line, but did much of her work in Womens Studies College. As “payment” for Robinson’s services, American Studies received a portion of the budget allocation generated by WSC enrollment. Sharp and cutting In a letter to Keil, Robinson likens her five year term here to travelling perpetually on a treadmill, expending tremendous amounts of'energy to get nowhere. She recalls the Queen’s advice to Alice in Alice in WonJvrhnd that it takes all the running one can do to stay in the same place. Writes Robinson: “All the running I could do for five years, Charlie all the physical and emotional energy, imagination, brains, and daring I could muster and the Program is not even in the same place, but has lost- She recalls that when she arrived at UB, she was hired one of the four lines set aside for women on the President’s Committee for the Recruitment and Promotion on of Women Neither the Committee nor the four positions Further, Robinson laments the disappearance of the parent controlled day-care center in Cooke Hall. As disappointed and as confused as she is, Robinson remains furious over the University’s handling of American Studies’ proposed Ph.D. program. Robinson, who sat on the Arts and Letters Divisional Committee and the (iraduate School executive Committee, took the major responsibility for the outside evaluations of existing remain, All the running I could do for five years, Charlie —all the physical and emotional energy, imagination, brains and daring I could muster—and the program is not even in the same place, but has lost ground ...” “. . . - ground.” Robinson laments that despite Jhe growth of the quality and stre/iglh of women’s studies, both in American Studies and in WSC, the University has refused to add new faculty positions. Although Robinson’s criticism is sharp and cutting, and her displeasure with the University is implicit, at no point does she point to particular University officials as culprits. the proposed Ph.D. pfogram in American Studies. After reviewing the'evalualions, she claimed, “1 have since read a great many evaluations of graduate programs. Never have 1 seen one as unstinting in its praise as ours was; never have I seen a department' actually penalized for earning such praise.” The Ph.D. proposal “went nowhere,” Robinson programs and stated, and by 1976 she found herself struggling to keep the M.A. program alive. “I understand that some progress has been made,” she states, “but it comes if it comes too late to make my own efforts seem at all proportionate to the result.” Kennedy called the loss of Robinson “a terrible thing” but said her resignation became necessary because “the University was dragging its feet with the Ph.D. program.” She said Robinson was fighting to move a good program forward but that all the obstacles the University threw in her path frustrated her efforts and look away from her - A feminist environment Robinson indicates her displeasure with the atmosphere the University offers women. She claims that she left Massachusetts Institute of Technology in order to teach in UB’s feminist movement, an environment she feels has nearly vanished over her five-year tenure. She cites the University’s elimination of the few women-only classes, a move which she feefs was made in the face of women’s -“strong legal, moral and educational case in their support.” - Finance Committee turmoil—P. 8 / writing.

Students to protest as Research fund trustees discuss tuition MacArthur said bv Elena Cacavas Campus hUiitor State University of New York (SUNY) administrators and students are anxiously awaiting the outcome of today’s Albany meeting o( the SUNY Board of Trustees to find out whether students will have to dig deeper into their pockets to meet increased tuition costs in the ball. Although officially not on the meeting’s agenda, rumors circulating through the Student Association of the State University (SASU) claim some motion will be offered today. According to SASU Communications Director Libby Post, SUNY Chancellor Clifton K Wharton said Monday that the issue would definitely be discussed. SASU President and student member of the Board of Trustees Steve Allinger has reportedly, in the course of his lobbying against the hike, attempted to solicit some statement of position from various Board members. Although Allinger was not available on Monday, SASU Legislative Director Larry Shillinger claimed, “The situation does not look at all promising.” He declined, however, to give any numbers in regard to trustee support of an increase. Resolution to decrease Although originally proposed as a SI00 tuition hike for both upper and lower level SUNY students, the current recommendation by Wharton calls for a tuition increase of ST50 at the lower level setting the cost of a State education at $000 per year for all undergraduates. To insure that the Trustees take some action on the pending proposal which is distracting students and administrators across the state, Allinger is planning to introduce a resolution calling for tuition to be decreased to S750 for all. “He (Allinger) doesn't expect anything to come of the resolution he’ll propose, but it will bring the issue onto the floor just in case Wharton forgets,” said Post. The proposal , however, is not foreign to SUNY ears. UB President Robert Ketter, among other SUNY administrators suggested similar measures in the wake of the hike - Asloundingly. DOB denied it involved the in was even when sequestering process contacted by The Spedrum. Budget Officer Joe Fernandez said the state receives no payment from SUNY or the Foundation. “The Research Foundation makes a paymefft to SUNV as required by their agreement of 1975,” Fernandez said. However, that interpretation does not ring true with MacArthur. He said that only a technical explanation could imply the State receives none of money. the overhead Thefoundation makes an annual contribution to the SUNY income l urid which then reverts to the State as part of the Governor’s Executive Budget he explained. In this year's budget their is a line for a payment to the SUNY Income fund from the Research foundation and this payment is considered revenue for the State, not SUNY. “This is not a paper transaction, real funds are being transfered here and the State gets - money goes to SUNY.” Okay for Feds As part of the negotiations between the Foundation and the Federal Government, an audit is made of each University’s books to determine how much money should be paid back to the school for overhead costs. Public Relations Officer for the Audit Office of the Department of Health, Fducation and Welfare Bernard huger told The Spectrum that overhead payment by the Federal agency is meant “to delay the costs of the school sponsoring the research.” huger doubted that the method by which New York State redistributes the overhead payments is contrary to Federal law. “In fact,” he said, “the procedure is probably part of a state law.” huger said there is nothing the Federal government can do to alter the State’s procedures. “It may be that UB is Info Day - INN a home away from home allows student governments to pul the actual SASU officials will accompany the Trustee- meeting today and have planned diversionary tatics to persuade the trustees to vote against a hike.

The ratio by which the state of determines the amount overhead money returned to UB, uses total research grant money generated here as a multiplier, instead of total overhead costs. UB thus loses more real dollars as a result of its overhead-intensive research activities. to the President Assistant Robert Wagner explained that UB largest is generator of the overhead in the SUNY system but the school does not get back nearly what it puts in. Wagner on the the blame placed proportional formula employed State. “The smaller by the schools, which don’t generate as much overhead, come out ahead,” he said. getting them,” MacArthur said. “Only in sense of being very technical could he (Fernandez) say the WELCOmE amount before the students on a referendum. iI ...

It is expected that the Thursday meeting, which will hopefully be attended by architects and contractors brought by Follett, will see leases signed and hence, the green light for Parcel B consturction. Follett’s contractual agreement was part of the deal which leased the UB bookstores to the corporation. Carter expects the new bookstore to be the cornerstone of the project slated to include banks, retail stores, restaurants and perhaps a McDonalds. Plans for commercial development of the 15.6 acre parcel of land west of Lake LaSalle between Clemens Hall and the Ellicott complex have been tossed around by UBF since 1976. Since then, construction was expected to be only a stone’s throw away. Efforts thwarted Carter said on Monday, “We have been through so many plans.” He explained that every time it seemed the project would get underway, either tax laws or interest rates or internal hesitation obstructed planning efforts. An April 1976 issue of the Reporter quoted Carter on a target date of September 1977 “for occupancy of the shopping mall.” In August 1977, The Spectrum reported that UBF received a lease now raised implementation. Noting that the each in two mandated courses the life and health sciences, natural sciences and technology, might play and foreign language - laboratory space, he questions the implementation.

"There has been no detailed examination,” Springer reinforced on that fueling J i Rising said that, in his best u judgement, if the proposal went 5) before the full Faculty Senate in its present form, it would be “shot down” and sent back into the General Education Committee for revision. Noting that the committee attempted to avoid the traditional complaint of sluggishness, he suggested that it may have moved too quickly and unanswered Rising said the process of approving courses is one gray area nurses that do not fit neatly into I knowledge areas would be decided on a “case by case basis."

Example set Carter said, “Without the new bookstore, there would be nothing. The State would not provide money for a new Amherst bookstore.” Fie added that the corporation’s project will set an example for other interested businesses. “After Follett.” Carter explained, “we will begin to merchandize the property. The bookstore is our key.” He claimed that when other corporations see someone putting up a sizeable sum of money, they will be more inclined to do the same. “The initial construction will facilitate our marketing the project locally,” said CArter. Although a completion date cannot be set, or according to Carter, even speculated on at this time, UBF should have a more definitive idea of Parcel B development after bookstore plans are finalized. “I think in two weeks we’ll be in pretty good shape,” he remarked.

The plan, proposed by Vice President for Academic Affairs Vice E. Ronald Bunn and President for Health Sciences F. Garter PanniJl, would create a Undergraduate “Council on Education” that Schwartz and Pinn say would spur “a reversion to a state of affairs within DUE in which administrative attention will be less focused, administrative leadership less prominent and administrative responsibility more widely dispersed than before.” The Council idea Is the second Bunn/Pannill plan to solve what they consider to be a gap between communication Peradolto’s office and Health Sciences. Peradotto derives his power within Academic Affairs from his immediate Bunn, superior, but his power within Health Sciences is not clearly with jurisdiction over DUE and Health advisement and Sciences, admissions policies and teaching effectiveness. The Bunn/Pannill plan proposes also an with “Administrative Officer specific responsibility for undergraduate programs in Health Sciences. That officer, along with Peradotto, would be a non-voting member of the Council. Schwartz and Pinn attacked the Bunn/Pannill plan in the , "communication gap” between the two undergraduate sectors. adds an proposal “The unnecessary burden to the Undergraduate Division of Education and does nothing to insure will be anyone that advocating the interests’of Health Sciences students in terms of broad based academic integrity. for potential polarization and parochializatior of Hea without an Power play best addressed by officer, independent wonder arising the divisions would be about a single, and we the efficacy of council whose a creating not responsibilities do meaningfully address its purpose,” they stated.

Schwartz and Finn’s solution, which significantly, is Bunn and Pannill’s alternate selection if the Council doesn’t pass, is a return to an independent DUE Dean who reports directly to the President. “This recommendation delineates clear lines of authority and eliminates bureaucratic entanglement caused by the Vice Presidents proposal,” Schwartz and Finn asserted. Ketter’s decision is The instructor, of course. And that’s one of the things that make academic writing so difficult. The college wrfter is in a difficult wntin situation or rhetorical context.

Of course, in reality it is a student writing to a instructor; however, playing around with the audience of a paper ca improve your writing. At some point in your preparation for writing a paper, imagine an audience quite different form the actual instructor-reader. An effective imaginary reader is another student who missed a month of classes. Write what you know about the topic as if that student were going to read the paper to discover the connection between your topic and what has been going on in class. You will, quite naturally, assume the voice of an informed writer. Further, you will set your topic in the context of the subject matter of your course. For example, you could write a paper on the shift from barter to money exchange one way for a course in economics; but it would be a different paper if you wrote on the same subject for a course in Roman government systems. Since your imaginary student reader is not an expert on the topic, you will probably be very clear in all your explanations. And since your audience is another student, you will be informal and conversational in your explanations. Good! It all must be revised anyhow, so write everything you know about the topic without notes. Just keep in mind your audience someone who needs to know what you know. Then revise Shift the audience back tc the instructor- Y GU win no able to keep the voice of the informed writer if you do not get intimidated by your audience. Don’t give in to the temptation to over-qualify or weaken your statements with “1 believe,” “it seems to me,” or “in my opinion.” So far you have a topic and a confident writing voice. Now, develop the instructor audience in your mind. Certainly your instructor-reader already knows what the course is about, and your reader may also be familiar with the topic you’ve chosen. Nevertheless, your reader may not have thought about it in quite the way you have. You’ve been reading recently; assume that your reader read those books years ago. Be very clear about your thinking. I find it helpful to imagine my essay as the last one in a heap of fifty papers and that a very tired person is reading it. This reader just doesn’t want to work very hard to get my meaning. This reader expects me to use the vocabulary of the discipline or course, to state the topic at the very beginning, and to support some of my statements with references to what I have read. But most of all, this reader expects me, to make sense. I If you find the shift from one audience tefanother audience is difficult, come to The Writing Place in Baldy Hall and ask the tutor to help you revise your informal essay into an academic essay.

Carey, which disrupted a Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) groundbreaking ceremony, NFTA official John Winston told student government officials here that he believes they 'Took the wrong route to reach a solution." Winston’s comments, which w'ere mailed to the local press, came as a response to Student Association (SA) Director of Student Affairs and rally organizer Scott Juisto’s November 21 letter to the NFTA. Juisto Juisto stated “It is important to stress the fact that the students assembled were in no way protesting the building of the Rapid Transit S\ stem and the rally was in no means intended to jeopardize the project and wo firmly believe it did not in any way do so." However, Winston avidly disagreed, Lntphasi/ing that his response was "personal," Winston stated, "f or the past working Western New York citizens and uevoteu men tune, energy ana in 1I years, many hard community some cases, their leaders have own money in trying to bring the LRRT (Light R, 11 Rapid Transit) project to the point of that November 3 groundbreaking.

Juisto disputed this, saying, “We had been in contact with the Governor’s campaign manager and no one knew ho was going to be late We certainly would have waited.” Winston said there were incidents of looting and that the leader of the citizen’s group, Mrs. Bunny Ross, had her toe broken by a young man “who was trying to step on the toe of a security guard missed, and stomped her foot." Juisto said he did not know of the specific incidents, but denied any “looting." Winston told The Spectrum that Ross decided not to press charges. Winston, who said he was among the men and women who lobbied, peacefully demonstrated and negotiated to have UB’s Medical School open its doors to qualified minorities in the I960’s, wrote to Juisto; “You may have won the battle with Governor Carey, but I feel you lost the war.” Juisto again disagreed, pointed to construction appropriations in Carey's Executive budget for Phase II of the Amherst gym. He said that this appropriation was unexpected and “I take issue with his statement that nothing was accomplished.” Daniel S.

Specifically, the altitude of Mr. Willard Harris, the current chairman of the Art Department here at U.B., and those who work closely under him. As a student enrolled in the Art Studio A Program, I have come to the conclusion that these gentlemen care very little for the undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in the program they head. If anything, they are concerned with proving their own value to the President of the University, by displaying their work in a gallery on the fifth floor of Capen Hall, and creating “supergraphics” on the fourth floor of the same building, not to mention “treasure hunting” for antiquated works of art dispersed throughout the University. (Reporter, “Artwork for Amherst” February 8, 1979.) No, these gentlemen don’t care .about the students enrolled in the Art Program. They don’t give a damn about the lack of security at Bethune Hall at night, the fact that anyone of the street can enter the building and cause trouble. Perhaps they are waiting for someone to be raped before they see to it that a nighttime security guard is stationed at the basement entrance of the building? This is the most blatant manifestation of their apathy, and certainly the most serious. But there are other deficiencies in the Art Program that attest to their indifference. The absence of /an art library Bethune Hall is one major deficiency. As an artist, Mr. Harris must realize that the creation of art cannot exist within a vacuum. It is dependent upon intellectual and creative inspiration, inspiration that art books and art-related periodicals can supply to a large degree. If Mr. Harris realizes this (which I’m sure he does) who doesn’t he try to persuade the Administration to move a part of the art collection from Amherst to Bethune Hall? Because he doesn’t care Why aren’t artists from New York and other large metropolitan areas invited to speak about their work? If Mr. Harris decides to respond to this letter, he will probably say that there are no funds tor speakers. But yet, the School of Architecture and I nvironmental Design has funds for such a program, why doesn’t the Art Department? And last, why did Mr. Harris passively sit back and allow, facilities Planning to appropriate the first floor ot Bethune Hall for storage space. This vast space should have been used for painting sculpture studios. The answer to all of these questions? It’s and simple. Mr. Harris and those who work closely under him don’t care about the students enrolled in their own department. Perhaps it’s time that they be replaced with people who will care.

This increased rate would require Freshmen and Senio lasses on the other hand have a fraction ot that amount of students in their classes, which provides for a much comprehensible student to teacher ratio. The quality of their education is quite of us lower level students. It is extremely inconceivable to me how they can expect superior to that Sophomores to and Seniors. Being a Freshman myself I find this totally unfair. My classes as most all lower level students are quite overcrowded to say the least, containing anywhere from 100 to 450 students which makes for a student to teacher ratio an average of about 3000 to one, which I might add is a very conservative estimate being that these teachers do teach more than one class. Quite impersonal to say the very least, wouldn’t you say? Junior and students when one considers the disparity that exists between the upper and lower levels with respect to class size which I might add changes quite drastically the quality of education that we experience. I can not for the life of me understand how our state legislators can be so blind as to lose sight of this crucial point. Cheryl Rice The Bison-days To the Editor As I too am happy with the return of baseball to Buffalo (even though 1 still don't plan on going to the OT Rockpile for any night games), 1 was glad to see coverage given to this happening in yesterday’s The Spectrum. However, 1 do think that the coverage should have been done by a local baseball fan, for then it would not have been full of the errors noticed in Mr. Davidson’s coverage. Let me clear up two points, two things which every Buffalo Bison diehard would remember. First, the team did not move to Indianapolis in 1970. I’m pretty sure that Indianapolis already had a team. I do know for sure that the Bisons went to Winnipeg and became the Blue Bombers. Second, the team had severed its relationship with the Cincinnati Reds years before. In 1970, the "herd” was affiliated with the then second-year What rights of conscience? To the Editor To take a stand on an issue a person must be aware of what a group is supporting. The Rights of clearly are not that but a Conscience group anti-choice group. Because after all there are many happenings on this campus that involve rights to conscience. Such things as experiments on dogs, rats, cats, monkies and other animals which ravage them. You pay for this in your tuition. Why not make that payment optional? if you want to protect the rights of conscience of UB students then you should disband, because your group is a violation of my right to conscience. Kitty Brown Montreal Expos. The overall lack of talent in the new Montreal organization left Buffalo with a last-place team, and that no doubt contributed heavily to poor attendance and the eventual move of the Bisons out of Buffalo. Henry Senefelder III Editor's note: Correct The steep price To the Editor a state school where many people can barely afford At first glance a “right to consciousness” sounds like something everyone should be granted. Thinking about it more deeply, though, this right ignores the question of how that consciousness was put into our heads and whether everyone has a right to exercise that consciousness. There have been missionaries, for instance, intent on spreading the “true word of God” to Indians in this country. In the process they have erased much of a Native American culture and way of life. In the U.S. today there are doctors who, without proper consent, sterilize women on welfare. I’m not sure these people have a right to their own healthcare consciousness. The real issue in my mind is not the vague concept of a “right to consciousness” but the concrete results of optional abortion coverage. Would it, for instance, make the cost of insurance for those choosing abortion coverage prohibatively high? If so I would say it defeats the purpose of a student health plan designed to insure that students with a minimum of funds are physically able to continue studying. Would the price of the abortion option rise as more students opt out and would more students opt out as the price rose, escalating the price again? In other words would there be a price snowballing effect? Remember, people are quick to cut insurance when their funds are low. This is especially likely in option. No one comes here expecting an abortion. Would an expensive abortion option leave mainly a few women paying for the coverage? It is my experience that women, through shared experiences, have become more aware that being faced with an unplanned prfegnancy is a common crisis threatening women’s education. 1 hope this doesn’t become another case where only she must pay for her “sins”. Would abortion coverage be eliminated if the option is unfeasable? Or more likely, would the cost of an abortion option become so steep that it would be realistically non-existant? 1 agree abortion is a delicate issue but the reality of whether or not the proceedure has been legally or financially supported. Those who can afford abortions, or can barely afford them, will take them on as their own responsibility if abortion insurance is not offered. Women who cannot afford will choose between dropping out of school and kitchen abortions. I see optional abortion coverage, and the rising price of that coverage, as a direct threat to poorer women who have been denied education for so long. These women, especially, must pay a steep price for your “right to consciousness”. Alison Hicks \M i The importance of abortion coverage To the Editor I can’t think of a more ridiculous proposition than an abortion option on a student health plan. No one comes here thinking of investing in an abortion. Most people are convinced “taking precautions” will protect them. Few people come here with money to spend on items they never expect to use. In fact that is what manditory insurance is all about collectively saving for risks we individually wouldn’t think of saving for. Many people don’t realize it until they’re confronted with the situation hut access to abortion is every woman’s need. Responsability for supporting abortion is every person’s responsibility not just the responsibility of the few who’ve been jolted into recognizing this need. 1 know. I would never have paid for optional abortion coverage last semester. After all I’d always taken care so that I would never have to “commit” an abortion. Had I not paid, though, I would be preparing for a maternity leave today. I hope the people planning next year’s health plan will use more forethought than 1 did. Think of the women who won’t realize the importance of abortion coverage until it’s too late. - — Name Withheld �More turmoil No sex survey SA Finance Committee's first meeting a debate of roles by Daniel S Parker News Editor nitiative because he gets a S2D00 sti pend ‘The Finance Committee wanted tc jldn t the budgetary process) behind like last year From time to time, we receive complaints that someone posing as a reporter from The Spectrum is conducting a “sex survey” that includes highly personal questions.

Between 207 B.C. and 1 I 1 B.C., the people of the south resisted, but finally succumbed to the powerful and aggressive forces of the Chinese Man Dynasty. Tor most of the subsequent one thousand years, the people of the Red River delta, the area now part of northern Vietnam centered in Hanoi and Haiphong, belonged to the Chinese province of Chiao Chi. And even though incorporated into the Chinese Tmpire. the themselves as Chinese.

The Ming dynasty had more success in the 15th cetnury and actually succeeded holding in Vietnam for a brief two decades. But in 1428, the great Vietnamese general Le Loi defeated the Ming, and Vietnam has remained free of when the Vietnamese saw Client state Seeking more security on their southern flank, the Chinese have involved themselves whenever the of possible, politics in Southeast Asia.

In 1076 the Khmers (the original name of the Cambodians) joined with the Sung dynasty in opposing their mutual enemy, the Vietnamese. an opportunity to intervene in Cambodia during its rice harvest, the Chinese felt no recourse but to counter that move. Not only was the stability of their client state’s government at stake but influence and prestige as well. China feels it simply can’t appear weak before a small Russian ally in Indochina.

Feedback features like this one will appear periodically in these pages in order to provide a forum for opposing or clarifying viewpoints. A former graduate student in the UB School oj Social Work, Grace was part of a fact finding delegation comprised of scholars, journalists and Interested citizens that attempted to visit Cambodia last January. Two members of the delegation were able to make it as far as the Thai-Cambodian border, while the rest fincluding Grace) made it no further than China. The two who were able to tour the border area found evidence that the notorious atrocities of the ousted Pot Pot regime have been greatly exaggerated by newspaper and magazine accounts. On the basis of this mission and other information Grace takes issue with Chapman's perception of the continuing Cambodian trauma. by Thomas Grace It is comforting to learn that Ross Chapman was simply “trying his hand at commentary” (Spectrum 2/14/79) lest his article be mistaken for an informed analysis. While showing some mastery of the English language, he is glaringly ignorant of both the realities of Soviet involvement in Southeast Asia and of the more balanced reports that are available on the internal situation in Kampuchea (Cambodia). In writing that the Vietnamese-Russian Treaty of Friendship does “not constitute a military alliance” Chapman fails to fully comprehend what most knowledgeable analysts immediately recognized, i.e., that the defacto essence o£ the pact Was designed to protect Vietnam’s Northern flank for the December invasion of Kampuchea. By conceding only that the alliance ‘encouraged’ Vietnam, Chapman fails to appreciate the connection between Vietnam’s November 3 agreement with the USSR and their lightning thrust into Kampuchea seven weeks later. Apparently, Mr. Chapman believes the chain of events to be mere fortuity. Peking’s actions of recent days, however, have shown beyond any doubt that they would not allow the provisions of the treaty’s Article 6 which called for “mutual consultations for... removing that threat” (read China) to deter them from teaching Vietnam the same lesson India learned in 1962. Film reviewing Understanding Mr. Chapman’s forte to be film reviewing rather than political analysis, one could forgive him for such shortsightedness. What is less permissible and more disturbing is his tired repetition of charges of genocide committed by the Pol Pot government against his countrymen.

To wit. he was irresolute in Mexico, unresolved In Iran and spineless in Afghanistan Careter has a job that even the most ardent masochist would shun.

He governs at a time when problems are so complex, so numerous, and so intertwined that the average man would be utterly da/.ed and dispirited by them. Take Mexico. Some months back, Mexican President Lopez Portillo gambled politically in negotiating to sell natural gas to the U.S. The deal had pearly been consummated when Energy Secretary James Schlesinger torpedoed it. Obviously this did not sit well with Mr. Lopez Portillo. What’s more, the rebuff had occurred before Mexico’s huge oil reserves had been fully realized. So now Carter was faced with the dilemma of attempting to soothe Mexican sensibilities, set up a new energy deal, and negotiate solutions to the all without touchy illegal alien problem appearing obsequious or domineering. To further complicate matters, on the eve of his departure, Carter’s ambassador to — Afghanistan was a Widespread protests and violence followed General Zia setzed power in July ’77 iri a bloodless coup. Soon afterwards, Bhutto was arrested, and in March '78 the Lahore High Court, in a 405-page opinion, called Bhutto a “compulsive liar and an archculprit who wanted primarily to satisfy his craving for self-aggrandizement.” They found him guilty of murdering the father of one of his most kidnaf pped, then killed in shootout which indi irectly involved the Soviet Union What to do? Either postpone the trip and risk possible retaliation from Mexico, or go down and appear nonchalant about the Ambassador’s murder. Carter went. apparently fearing that a postponement would be seen as a casual snub, which could cost us billions in petrodollars. months in lost time, or both. What this decision cost him was “imagery.” Had he stayed in Washington, he could have appeared “presidential,” as Jerry Ford always tried to do. He may have sacrificed an energy deal, but at least he would have been presidential (and scored big in media coverage). lo compound the decision to go, his Mexican reception was cool, if not downright rude. Lopez Portillo, wanting to please Mexican voters resentful of American abuse, laced his speeches with terse language which sometimes bordered on invective. Carter grinned and bore it, knowing that to retaliate with an equally sharp tongue would be childish and probably counterproductive. Having endured these tribulations.

It is said 'that what kept Lyndon Johnson from pulling out of Vietnam was his personal fear of appearing unmanly (indecisive?) that and the fact that he had surrounded himself with yes-men who told him how necessary the war was, how right he was in thinking as he did. And now, four million casualties later, we muse: had our foreign policy only been a little more “indecisive” in 1964.

The trial has left Pakistanis unconvinced of the independence of the judiciary, and Bhutto’s popularity, in a part of he world where a jail term is a pol itical' badge of honor severe sharply has increased. Zia dictatorship has made Pakistanis see Bhutto’s high-handed rule as the lesser of two evils. However, Bhutto is by no means an innocent victim of Zia’s wrath. Much of Pakistan’s chaos can be attributed to Bhutto’s autocratic rule. If Bhutto is executed at this point, Zia will probably be confronted with a massive violent outburst from the people, followed by a bloody civil war which would quite possibly result in Pakistan’s permanent breakup. Furthermore, the execution of Bhutto would set an awesome precedent in the conduct of politics. Despotic rulers around the world might be less hesitant to do away with political foes threatening a comeback. In light of this, clemency for Bhutto would not only be a humanitarian act but risk being branded throughout history as the man who lost our oil, or to support him, ruthless though he may be, “in the interest of the entire Western economy.

It is probably unfortunate that given the former role of the United States in the Indochinese conflict, that the current administration cannot serve as mediator in the current imbroglio. If there was ever a time we could be impartial, it would be right now. The Chinese however, did not give up their efforts to dominate Vietnam, and the Manchu dynasty made one further attempt in the 18th century.

Chinese insecure The question is: Why is China so anxious to have Vietnam firmly under its control?

The Vietnamese preferred Russian aid to Chinese tor tear of a dangerous overdepdendence on the giant to the North. The net result of the Russo-Vietnamese alliance is a frightened China which now feels a real threat on both its northern, and southern borders. For the better part of a thousand years the Vietnamese and Cambodians have been engaged in conflict, if not over territory, then over political and cultural matters. The feelings of emnity are deep and longstanding.

But for the first time, Mexicans feel a good deal more assertive towards their rich, northern neighbors, “We want a different spirit between the two countries, announced a high-ranking Mexican diplomat. “We want the Americans to stop thinking once and for all, that we are,just a poor, dumb little country to the south.’’ Although no important agreements emerged from President Carter's recent visit to Mexico City, both Carter and Mexican President, Lopez Portillo.^were sell natural gas to U.S. companies under prices set by Mexico and by proposing another border crackdown on illegal Mexican immigrants In 1977, six American companies had agreed to buy $2 billion in natural gas from a petroleum field near Cactus, Mexico.

Lopez Portillo vowed to burn off the gas and the oil in the ground rathef than sell It to the U.S. Mexico is also upset about what it considers insensitive policies on illegal Mexican immigration into the U.S. As many as two million aliens cross into the U.S. each year to the anger of many in the American Southwest. In response, the Carter administration proposed building a new 27-mile long chain-link fence to combat this “silent invasion.” These immigrants, however, are not an adebatable economic problem. They are mainly productive workers who are attracted to and contribute to viable U.S. economic enterprises. Contends, Michael Pore of the Massachussetts Institute of Technology (MIT). “Illegal immigrants enable an industrial society to function by taking jobs unwanted by native workers. The S2 billion they send home to Mexico each year is the most effective way for the Wracking poverty President Portillo’s plan for gradual levelopment of petroleum reserves has been supported by responsible Mexicans. Incensed by widespread corruption, Mexicans are adament that oil revenues go towards the long term development of the nation and not into the pockets of greedy politicians and labor union chiefs. All the while Mexican leaders are all too aware of the lessons of Nigeria and Iran where rapid escalation of oil production led to political turmoil and destabelized economies. Mexico despite the new oil revenues will still face an enormous poverty problem. It is estimated that Mexico’s population of 65 million will jump to 120 million by the year 2,000. It is conceivable that an already conjested Mexico City could have a population of 25 million by the turn of the Century. To meet this rampant growth, nearly 800,000 new jobs must be created each year if the current 20% unemployment rate is to be held down. The tapping of Mexico’s vast petroleum wealth can spell a major transformation of the poverty stricken nation. It has the potential of lifting its people up from destitution, illiteracy and squalid living conditions, spawning a prosperous new land,, while at the same time providing mineral sustenance for the industrialized grant to the North. But for this wealth to trickle down to the masses, a long history of government corruption will have to be rooted out.

The Bulls posted their sixth win against eight losses in their final dual match of the season. Why the dullness? Cortland coach Vince Gonino decided to leave most of his regulars home to rest for the upcoming NCAA Championships. Ironically enough, the largest crowd of the year turned out, expecting a battle between two of the finest teams in the country. Instead, they witnessed a Red Dragon tearfi consisting of junior varsity wrestlers. The Cortland team also forfeited three weight classes, erasing any doubts about the match’s final outcome. Gonino was unavailable for comment, as he too elected to stay home and read about it in the papers. The match served as the last Clark Hall appearance for UB’s two outstanding seniors, Ed Tyrell and Paul Curka; and both went out on a winning note. Tyrell pinned Joe Husnay in 3:40 and Curka scored a lopsided 20-3, super-superior decision over Dave Willey. Juniors Tom Jacoutot and Tony Butera were awarded forfeit victories and freshman Scott Slade pinned Mark Brcnnaraan in 3:44 to round out the UB scoring. For the most part, the other matches were just workouts, and there was as much stalling on the part of the tired athletes as anything this side of the Division of the Budget. Today, Buffalo coach Ed Michael will bring Jacoutot, Tyrell, Slade and Curka to sunny j%cata, California for this weekend’s Division HI National Championships. These athletes qualified for the trip by placing in the top four at the SUNYAC Conference Championships two weeks ago.

The championships ended a season for the Royals that is filled with tremendous potential for the coming years. Losing only four swimmers, including co-captain Kim Andrews, the future Royals will be loaded with sophomores and juniors. After winning three and losing 10 a year ago, the Royals rebounded this season and with a six and four won-lost record. “1 think the team improved 10,000 percent,” grinned their coach, Pam Noakes, ‘‘We didn’t have a whole lot of depth, but our only three loses came to Division II schools and we lost by a point to Potsdam in that diving incident.” The Royals had to forfeit the diving match early in the season when it was discovered the depth of Clark Hall’s pool was three feet short of regulation. -David Davidson Professor of Physics, SUNYAB Fillmore Room in best dive; a front one and one-half pike. on Monday, March 5th (trained, experience haircu tiers, studying advance techniques) CALL 881-5212 Special *2.00 3/5/79 Only �"0 Ill « U1 H 3- Basketball Bulls end the season tomorrow night ,ketl he I A long >eason will slowly dribble to a h tomorrow nighl. Playing their final contest of the year. Buffalo will take the court in ( lark Hall to face the challenge of the Brockporl With a record ol 6-19 overall, and 2-7 in the SUNV Conference, Brockport’s starting five could be easily victimized by Buffalo’s ever-improving forward, Mike Freeman and Tony Smith is season, no coach Bill Hughes, “and h'eeeman has really come on in the last live or so games.” Smith’s 10.1 game scoring average is second behind teammate Nate Bouie’s 11.2 per, but Hughes regards his timely shooting and hustle as valuable attributes. Freeman is quite possibly Buffalo’s most productive man on the court. Hven as his playing time increases, the 6’4" junior has kept his shooting percentage right around 60 percent. In addition, the forward from Baltimore has hit on 80 percent of his foul shots. Brockport will try to stop the duo Jim McMa hn and Bickens. McMahn is listed as a guard, but usually sees more action under the glass. A sharp passer, the Golden Fagle's second leading scorer tops the club in assists. Bickens is no where near the shooter of his counter-part, but at 6’5”, the Long Islander has hauled down nearly five rebounds per game The most experienced Brockport eager is center, Dennis barley. Averaging 1 1.4 rebounds and 14.5 points per game, the big man leads the team in both departments. A1 Walker is used primarily as a reserve, and makes up for any lack of talent with aggressive persuit. Another big man off the bench is freshman Greg Boggan. After being seriously injured for most of the season, the 6’5” 210-pound center is still limited in movement. He has seen little action, but has hit 51 percent of his shots. Buffalo’s guards are currently in transition, with freshman Kevin McMillian seeing more and more action. They’ll have to be wary of fouling Brockport’s point guard however; if they can find him. Only 5’7”, Stan Van Gundy has been flawless from the tree-throw line this season, ripping off 32 in a row. Going back to the previous campaign, Van G\indy hasn*’t missed in over 40 attempts.

The nationally ranked team has a solid shot at ending their season in Milawaukee, the site of the nationals, from which coach Jane Poland thinks they will walk away with top honors. UB icers in playoffs lot of mediocre hockey players, and if we’d made up our minds to go out there and skate, we could've beaten them. If you play Elmiraxiight, I just don’t feel that they have the defense to cope with it. Besides, the fact that our pride was stepped on ( 12 times today) would give us more incentive. “Based on what Middlebury showed last year when we lost to them (7-3) in the playo’ffs namely three excellent defensemen, Elmira can’t match them 1 also don’t feel Elmira has the goaltending that Middlebury has.” the coach added. Regardless of whomever Buffalo’s opponent turns out to be, the Bulls will have to show a dramatic improvement over their showing Sunday, in order to at least threaten an upset victory. “The whole team played terrible, all the way down the line,” admitted UB’s Tom Wilde after ending the season with 31 goals, close to the UB record of 36 established by Mike Klym in the 73-74 campaign. “We weren’t hitting them at all When we hit, we play well; if we don’t hit, we’re mesmerized by the puck.” An unexpected show of humor on the part of some players might be a clue to the team’s willingness to put aside the negative begin and experience concentrating on the upcoming playoffs. “1 don’t even think it was necessary for the zamboni to continued from .. resurface tlmira’s half of the ice during intermission,” kidded UB goalie Bill Kaminska referring to his teammates’ poor show in the offensive zone, a grand total of 14 goaltender (ilen shots on Lombardi. Light side The Bulls’ Tim Igo had his own review of the team’s efforts. “We were in the ozone,” he said. Wright expressed a similar opinion, although less humorous than his center’s. “They knew the game didn’t mean anything,” the coach argued in noting that Buffalo had clinched a playoff berth before the contest began. ICE CHIPS: finishing the regular schedule with a 15-11 overall reebrd and qualifying for the playoffs, the Bulls had a good season, but according to Wright, not a great one. “We didn’t beat any of the better teams,” the coach reasoned. “But the irony is that it’s"all possible now, in the personal playoffs.” Wright went on to provide a brief outline of the major page 1 FREE CLINICS . individuals who con Tommy the successful year Wilde just had a fantastic season Bricn (irow and our scoring captain, hddic Patterson, who have been through the mill for four years, still got psyched and showed leadership to the younger kids on the team.

The phone rings. “Recreation, may I help you?. . I’m sorry, you’ll have to call back «t T2.” The office door slams shut to squelch the noise echoing through the corridor. The phone is taken off the hook. Cautiously, the door is opened at the stroke of noon. A lineup of people pours into the tiny office and the phone begins to ring. These patient souls know all too well that reservations for racquetball court time at Clark Hall are taken every day at noon, two Jays prior to playing. “By 12:04 the courts are all taken,” pointed out Director of Recreation and Intramurals Bill Monkarsh. “Everyday it’s the same.” There is no relief sighted in the near future for the recreation department. According to Monkarsh, seven or eight years will elapse before the completion of the Field House Convocation Center on the Amherst Campus. The Field House is slated for 10 racquetball courts, but this of course is subject to change 20 courts were originally planned. Clark Hall presently houses two racquetball courts and two squash courts. The squash courts are used for recquetball, but their considerable size difference makes them sub-standard. . — Stamina Perhaps the major reason for the shortage of racquetball space can be attributed to the current explosion of the sports’ popularity. One obvious reason to take up a racquet lies in the health benefits to be gained. An hour ofracquetball burns off about as many calories as an hour of running but with less tortuous effort. The players move constantly, but the limited space of the court, combined with the fact that the ball is rarely out of reach, invites the players to-push beyond their capability. In addition to weight reduction, racquetball helps to improve physical fitness by increasing stamina, conditioning the heart and developing various arm and leg muscles. Many professional athletes use the game as a method of staying in shape during the off-season; and as a means of developing better hand-eye coordination. * Origin Racquetball was derived from the game of paddleball in the early 1940’s. Fascinated by the concept of the game, one of it’s early founders, Joe Sobek of Greenwich, Connecticut, found the solid S wood paddleball racquets, to be awkward and difficult to manipulate. In 1949, 'he introduced a tennis racquet with a shortened handle as his solution to the cumbersome paddle. With this innovation, he first played what ultimately evolved into today’s game of racquetball. However, safety devices have necessarily stepped into the game, as in most action-packed sports. Precautionary measures include a rope securely attached to the handle of the racquet. In order to prevent the racquet from Hying off, the rope, or lanyard must be secured around the wrist at all times. Wooden racquets are considered dangerous to use because they don’t have “bumpers” (a plastic coating around the edges) to protect the racquet from splintering when making contact with the wall. Clubs have been known to prohibit the use of wooden racquets on their courts as a precaution for the player. These racquets also tend to damage the walls of the court because of the absence of the bumper. Eye injuries are commonplace in racquetball, and as a result, eyeguards are becoming popular. The National Racquetball Association is currently debating whether their use should be mandatory in order to reduce the number of tragedies resulting from errant racquets and zipping balls.

Ever growing A little under 10 years ago, less than 50,000 people played the sport. Today an estimated 8 to 10 million people are racquetball enthusiasts. Western New York businesses seem to have geared up in anticipation of this tremendous jump in interest^ urrently, there are five racquetball clubs in .the area and six more are planned. Each club boasts between 1500 and 2500 members; the average member age is between 25 and 35 years old. Although this sport did not really hit the east coast until the last two years, Buffalo is the home of some of the nation’s better players. “The Gar”, Charles Garfinkel, has held the New York State Championship for many years. In fact, he recently published a book. “Racquetball the Rasy Way." Another well-known name in racquetball is Bud Stange who is currently the 1979 New York State Senior’s Champion.

Reiss Millonzi also claimed that he needed more time to investigate the ramifications of the tuition Hours after agreeing it should increase. He did agree that the become a more aggressive Council could convey to the supporter of UB, the University Trustees that students here would Council refused Friday to even like to discuss the matter. “1 see vote on a resolution criticizing the no problem with that,” he said. “I proposed SUNY-wide tuition have a problem telling the Board increase. of Trustees where to go.” Instead, it passed by 5-1 a The discussion turned an watered down version of the otherwise tranquil meeting into a motion proposed by student sizzling debate between representative to the Council, proponents,' opponents and Michael Pierce, asking the SUNY compromisers of the resolution. Board of Trustees t6 hold public An exasperated Pierce rose from hearings in Buffalo to sound out his seat and, arms flailing, student opinion on the hike. The vigorously implored the Council Trustees will convene Wednesday to take a strong stand on the in Albany, and may decide then issue. He said the tuition boost whether to adopt the proposed will only bring hardships to students and likened the measure $150 increase for lower level students. If the increase is to kicking a patient in the approved, both upper and lower stomach after he has had heart level students in SUNY will be surgery Pierce vigorously denied that it required to pay $900 per year. The strongest opposition to is not the Council’s place to make Pierce’s resolution came from its feelings known to the SUNY Council member Robert Koren Trustees. “We can at least advise and Chairman Robert Millonzi. the Board of Trustees that they Koren said that not only does he do not decide things by oppose criticizing the increase, he themselves, he said. “They should might favor a tuition hike. So go to all four State University vehement was Ids opposition to centers with due process and the measure, that he employed speed.” various tactics to combat it during the debate. At one point he No justification claimed “We don’t know if it’s University President Robert going to be raised,” and later held that a Council vote “wouldn’t be Ketter explained that he argued in Albany against the increase one effective anyway.” month ago, before Governor Carey’s budget was released. “It Not our problem Millonzi, having strongly was argued then that the increase supported Student Association was needed because there could (SA) President Karl Schwartz’s be no construction without the increase,” he related. Ketter called urging p|eas that the Council be more vocal and vibrant in its this ploy “fallacious” claiming support for the University, that construction has “first call” claimed he didn’t feel it was the on all tuition money. “I didn’t see Council’s place to tell the Board any justification in terms of of Trustees what to do. “It’s not buildings,” he said. Ketter explained that the our responsibility,” he said. “It’s a amount that SUNY stands to gain thorny problem for the University Trustees. It’s not our problem; it’s from the increase S8-10 million their obligation and their duty.” is insignificant compared to the Special to The Spectrum , - system’s huge $700 million budget. He remarked that Albany could also gain the necessary funds by skimming money off other areas of the State. At no point however, did the President ever urge the Council to follow Pierce’s lead. After the meeting, Ketter told The Spectrum that he still opposes the hike, and in fact favors a decrease in tuition. He said he “felt it was appropriate that the Council come out in opposition to the increase,” but claimed that it was not his place to tell the Council what to do. Call the Attorney General After the fracas, Chairman Millonzi shot down Pierce’s resolution to censure Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Carver for denying a The Spectrum reporter entrance to a Senate meeting. Pierce feels Carver violated the spirit and intent of the State Open Meetings law by his actions. Millonzi, still fuming since last Spring when Pierce asked for and received a written opinion from former State Attorney General Louis Lefkowitz stating that the Council was a public body required to hold open meetings, said Pierce would have to go to Attorney General Robert Abrams before the Council would even consider the resolution. Millonzi claimed the council is not a public body and that Pierce was out of order. All of the fireworks occurred after SA President Schwartz urged the Council to become a more active advocate of State public higher education. Schwartz said that SUNY is declining because of a disparity in State funding between public and private universities. He asked the Council “to put pressure where it needs to be put to make this a quality institution.” He said that soaring tuition is subverting SUNY’s original goal to make higher education available to poorer —DIVIncenzo YES, BUT: Student Representative to the UB College Council Michael Pierce (above) asked the body Friday to take a more active role in supporting this University. The Council agreed, but declined to pass Pierce's motion criticizing a SUMY tuition increase. Banned in Bulgaria, banned in East Germany, banned in but banned at UB! That unhappy fate befell the Russia scheduled Inter-Residence Council (IRC) film The Devil in Miss Jones Friday night, depriving cinema-starved students of their “x-rated weekend”, as it was billed. The official order to halt the showing came from Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal, who simply ordered the doors of Diefendorf 146 and Fillmore 170 to be closed. But JRC President Jim Paul thinks the decision was made by University President Robert L. Ketter, recently back from a vacation in Tahiti. Assistant to the President Ron Stein said use of UB facilities to screen the film would be in violation of the law. According to Stein, the movie was ruled obscene by a New York State judge, thus precluding its showing here But the attorney representing IRC, Tom Cassano, said no Supreme Court ruling has been made on the film, only preliminary determinations. Since 1974, obscenity rulings have been based on contemporary community standards, making certain movies legal in some localities and illegal in others. Cassano contends that this film, which was advertised only through fliers, was intended only for the University communtiy,and that the standards of the University should be the ones considered. Additionally, he said, the obscenity statute does npt apply to educational institutions “There is no question that during the course of a (educational) seminar, it could be shown - IRC movie banned here, University halts x-rated weekend ” Inside: Petitioner threatened—P. 3 / Iranian woes—P. 5 / students and pleaded with the Council to make a strong statement against the tuition increase. “The College Council can become more than a paper body if it takes up this role of advocacy,” Schwartz said. What specific things? The President attributed the rising attrition rate among students UB a sinking qualify of life here. He said that there is “too high a level of in' sensitivity” towards students here, especially in regard to decisions concerning: curriculum evaluation, the split leadership in the Division of Undergraduate Education, the decentralized student union, and the quality of life. Schwartz also criticized the “non-dynamic attitude” that he claimed characterizes the University’s top officials and remarked that the faculty is an “incredibly untapped potential.” Schwartz’s comments went generally well-received by the quiet Council members who agreed, at least in theory, that they should become more supportive. Most impressed and willing to help was Councilwoman Rose Sconiers, who said she wanted to know “specific things” that could be done and asked Schwartz “Where do we go from here?" Least touched was Councilman George Measer who said he also sits on the Daeman College Council and that students here should be thankful for what they have. “They don’t appreciate what they’ve got,” ha said. After the meeting, Schwartz admitted he was disgusted with the Council’s refusal to adopt the resolution against the boost. “I ■guess they decided to be a meaningless body,” the annoyed SA President said. He scoffed at Millonzi’s contention that more time. is needed to study the tuition question asking “Where have they been all this time?” at to he noted. The Devil in Miss Jones is the second film to be banned here Deep Throat was barred from a campus showing in early 1977. Cassano said he’d be surprised if the police tried to intervene the film’s showing, but Paul took a more cautious stance. He in said he had considered screening the film in a lounge in Ellicott, but felt that University Police might intervene. “The last thing I want is an arrest record,” he said. Paul tried to contact the Buffalo Police’s Salacious Literature Office, which he said has been abolished.

The SIS endorsement leaves two versions of the Grandfather Clause before Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn and Vice President for Health Sciences F.

He refused to answer any questions on the incidents when contacted by The Spectrum Saturday. Hoffman and Schwartz have both reported the alleged threats to University Police, who have filed reports on the two incidents. Hoffman, in a signed statement delivered to The Spectrum Friday evening, said that Washington approached him Friday afternoon while he was sitting at a desk in the Squire Hall office where he is employed. Asked about intent After asking to see the petition Hoffman was circulating, Washington began copying some of its provisions by hand, Hoffman said. Washington then began asking questions on the petition’s intent and on Hoffman’s reasons for wanting to dissolve the Senate, he added™ Washington then asked Hoffman if The Spectrum was him SI000 to circulate the petititons, to which he replied negatively, Hoffman said. According to Hoffman, Washington then said words to the effect; “We know where you live. If you win, we’ll come looking for you.” Hoffman said he interpreted Washington’s words as a physical threat. He also said that Washington was accompanied by another Senator and Black Student Union member who implied that he might face physical harm. Schwartz, who also gave The Spectrum a ginetf statement Friday, said that Washington confronted him Thursday evening in the third floor men’s room of Squire Hall. After Washington indicated his knowledge of Hoffman’s petition, Schwartz said, the two walked outside into the hallway. According to Schwartz, Washington then said: “Hey Karl I hope you’re out of office before you end up the way Spiegel did.” Schwartz said he assumed Washington was referring to Steve / ... is for students, to avoid nation or pi lacing on excessive burden jeopard lizing grai an undergrads, but also to avoid encouraging students to narrow their educational focus.

Spiegel was hospitalized with a scratched cornea, hemmorrhaging, bruises and cuts around the face, neck and arms and other injuries. The December 1976 beating came after; week of strained relations between the Student Association officers and the Black Student Union. While Schwartz said he interpreted Washington’s comments as physical threats, he added: “1 am less concerned about rwself than 1 am about the general atmosphere. The fact that students Tire trying to effect the political process by physical intimidation is disturbing.” The Senate has been in continual conflict with both The Spectrum and tfie SX officers over a host of political battles. Hoffman, who said he is not connected with either The Spectrum or SA, announced his petition campaign Wednesday after observing a Senate meeting and talking to people from what he called “all sides of the issue.” Hoffman said Friday that: “I am going ahead with it [the petition) anyjway, regardless of the situation.” “This is not proper for student government and certainly won’t help to get anything done,” HOffman said in reference to the alleged threats. Senate reformed? Schwartz said Friday. “One would hope that if a person felt that he or she was being wronged concerning an issue like this proposed referendum, then he or she would use legitimate avenues. “Fear is not a legitmate avenue. Influencing people in a philosophical way is. Perhaps We’d all be better off if we stuck to the latter,” Schwartz added. Washington has consistently been a vocal Senator at meetings. He is a powerfully built man who is partially crippled and must use crutches to transport himself. Washington’s only comment Saturday was: “I am not answering questions because I feel I have not said those things.” Hoffman’s petition would remove the article of the SA constitution that creates the Senate, and replace it with a passage forming a new Senate. The new Senate, which* would be provisional for the pruposes of drafting a new constitution, would be'made up of representatives from various SA clubs and groups, plus the SA officers.

The decaying program here, suffering annually from the continual erosion of money, is thrusting the dental school’s accreditation into jeopardy. According to Dental School Dean William Feagans, studies by an (yjjside by Elena tacavas Campus editor Freshman Assemblyman John Sheffer (R-Amherst) claimed Friday “a surprising victory” in his meagerly supported fight against a bill to hike aid to private dental school students. The bill was “starred” by the Assembly last Monday, putting a freeze on further debate and obstructing passage until a later date. The bill, with broad majority support the in Democratic-controlled Assembly, would benefit dental students at New York University and Columbia University by an additional $1.3 million a year. Sheffer explained that last week’s action will give him more time to lobby against passage of the bill. He added, however, that the bill’s supporters most likely accepted the “freeze” to allow themselves more time to garner support. “1 think,” he explained, “questions and doubts about the bill prompted its sponsor to agree to the starring.” Sheffer admitted he was surprised by Monday’s outcome. The bill, which would amplify the already damaging lack of state support for the still prestigious, yet waning, UB denial school, is designed to up aid grants to $3,300 annually for students at the two private institutions. Presently, the annual state grant for lower division students is $1,500 and $2,500 for those in the upper division. No set grant is available to Stale University students who rely on programs such as the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) for aid. review board show that the UB’s equipment and space would have to be tripled to meet standards. Member of the accreditating team will be on campus March 13 for a “sight visit”, Fcagens said. “One of our major problems,” Feagans noted, “is having no money for equipment replacement.” He said the dental school has spent less than $50,000 for capital expenses since it joined the State system in 1962. And in the past ten years, he said, 359 dental students have worked in an area designed for 240 persons. Rehabilitation funds In a January 17 Buffalo evening News article Governor Hugh L. Carey in his efforts to solicit support for the aid bill planning funds for recommended rehabilitation of the UB dental school. Scheffer said Friday, however, that the Governor’s proposal is “not in concrete form.” “This has been a problem before,” Scheffer added. “Funds have been promised all along, but no money is ever actually given.” The Assemblyman pointed out that the cramped quarters in Main Street’s Farber Hall have housed the dental school since 1953. Sheffer faces a particularly tough challenge in the Assembly. As a first year legislator with no contacts and no reputation, he is also in the Republican minority. He replaces James Fremming, a Democrat whose name became assoicatcd with UB’s Amhersf Campus during his - - Another kick “Increasing aid to private schools,” Scheffer argued, “takes M*way from the nationally- recognized program at UB, which is facing serious financial problems.” He said the increase proposal gives this University “another kick." Meanwhile, students at the two state Stony Brook and UB denial schools are confronting a tuition hike proposal. Rumors circulating claim students will be slapped with a ten percent increase, which will raise the fee to $3,300. Private school tuition is. of course.

E3 academic stance aimed at educating the public. To his total discredit, Lee felt he had to invent a few decorative excuses for his action; excuses that Geography Professor Charles Ebert has personally toppled with his aggressive forays into the Love Canal research. Ebert's work and the efforts of Roswell Park reseracher Beverly Paigen and Sociology professor that Adeline Levine, show Lee's contention faculty involvement in an advisory or consultant to be dubious at its best role was impractical — and deceptive at its worst Thought and action on the Love Canal "Here at Buffalo, we concur in the belief that a public university must indeed have a strong commitment to public service ..." —Robert L. Ketter State of the University address September 10, 1978 There is a hollowness to these words; the sound of insincerity that so often cloaks institutional lethargy in "moral" commitment. Although it is easy to see through and dismiss the weary prose of the President's speech writers, the emptiness of this University's contribution to the outside community takes a sharper eye; one that can focus on those unmet needs of the area's citizens that SUNY Buffalo cannot bring itself to face. With only a touch of ingenuity, any bureaucracy can obscure a negative failure, i.e. the out of negligence tasks that are never assumed. But the University blew its cover with the Love Canal Task Force and showed the Western New York community what it can expect in times of crisis nothing; and a litany of excuses as convincing as a Hooker Chemical Co. vice president. As is customary here, this failure is accompanied by elastic truths, irrelevancies, and rationalizations: anything but the unadorned truth. Dean of Engineering George Lee, to his credit, admits shifting the emphasis of the Task Force away from an advisory function toward a more — — — If there had been encouragement from the top and a hard-working, imaginzative individual (like Ebert) as Chairman, the Love Canal Task Force could have contributed greatly to the understanding of this complex but far reaching environmental problem. No one here has to be told that the Love Canal is just the first chemical time bomb to go off in the country, and that thousands of other deadly waste dumps are ticking away across the United States. The Love Canal presented a unique, one time chance for the University to show the community its dedication and, to some degree, the nation to public service. Certainly it was not a typical opportunity; certainly it would have taken some new thinking and a new spirit of cooperation; and certainly there were delicate political hands to play. But, we cannot believe it was beyond this institution's talents to organize a comprehensive plan of action for the Love Canal. Such a plan could have combined the homeowners' near desperate need for help and the disaster's crystalline opportunity to meld highly technical reserach with real-life, human problems. It could also have combined the experience and credentials of faculty members with the enthusiasm and curiosity of students to create a learning exchange of rare richness. Perhaps the Unviersity's Love Canal Task Force of willing faculty would have joined hands with the Love Canal Study Group of interested grad and undergrad students in the hard sciences; and with the Love Canal Action Committee of concerned, politically aware students from all disciplines; and with the Love Canal citizen's panel of active community members; and with the Love Canal Homeowners' Association. If that is too much innovation to handle, then perhaps the Task Force could have stimulated a few — — more professors to contribute as Ebert did, on ar individual basis. And if that is too much leadership than this place can muster then the Administration could have at least explained honestly why it was so reluctant. That is the minimum we would expect the unadorned truth. and, based on The Spectrum's research, it If appears to be a big if there are legal restrictions on the University entering a controversy where the State is involved, then let's hear it and, better yet, let's use that handicap as a public argument for greater automony for SUN Y. - — - "I am certain that they [the Love CanaI Task Force] will make important contributions to our awareness and understanding of theproblem and hopefully, they will be able to contribute significantly to its solution ...” Robert L. Ketter State of the University address September 10, 1978 The Task Force's failure has very little to do with faculty reluctance, or the State's uncooperative stance. No, it is a failure born out of the atmosphere created by the leadership of this University; an atmosphere that sees service to the business, industrial, and professional community as the limitsof "public service." There simply is no creative leadership here that aims the Unversity's wealth of expertise and energy at citizen issues. Until there is, local corporations with management problems will continue to find a sympathetic ear, while frightened and ignorant citizens who want environmental dangers explained to them will be turned away. That, in a sentence, is public service at SUNY Buffalo, where commitment is measured in mission statements and the community is, most importantly, a market for sellingcreditTree courses. - — "\/Ve are determined to surmount our present difficulties in order to continue to build upon the academic achievements of the past to emphasize the interrelationships between teaching, research and service, and to pursue the high aim of unifying theory and practice; thought and action; of creating an understanding oflife with the living of it." Robert L. Ketter Closing remarks September 10, 1978 — — SXil^QF by Jay Rosen ALBANY The scene is a crowded, floodlit room somewhere in an office building near the State capital. Governor Hugh Carey, his confidence brimming after his picture appeared in TIME magazine, is answering the questions of a group of student editors from across the SUNY system. For some unexplainable reason, Joi DiMaggio is standing calmy to Carey's left, like a body guard. The questioner is the editor of the Cortland paper. CORTLAND; Mr. Carey, you— CAREY: That’s Governor Carey, son. CORTLAND; Mr. Governor, you— CAREY: That’s M ister Governor Carey, son. CORTLAND; Mr. Governor Carey, will you please tell us, was the tuition hike your idea, or Chancellor Wharton’s? CAREY: I can tell you, without hesitation, that the entire idea, from conception to birth, start to finish, the very thought of if, its essence, its core, its very being was well sort of a mutual agreement that kind of drifted into — - - existence, really. CORTLAND: So, you’re saying that there is going to be a tuition hike. CAREY: No, you’re saying I said; but that you can’t say that I said you could say that. That’s all I’m saying. NEW PALTZ; Governor, New York State currently spends more money on private education than the other 4U states combined. At the same time. New York ranks only 47th in aid to public education.

What comments can 1 make except that: 1. Walden is a national chain running on a huge profit margin. So how much profit is Follet making on that book? I didn’t stand in a line at Walden, so Follet can’t convince me that that dollar went to making life easier for students. 2.

In a retort <o the retort by Stuart Smith 1 find his fatalistic views on the technological advances fostered by the Department of Defense follow a peculiar logic. (To recaptitulate, Mr, Smith favors increased defense spending on the grounds that only development defense oriented research and enclevours produce socially useful technology. The Spectrum 12 Feb 79 “Up with the defense budget”) Mr.Smith is not alone his However, in conceptualization of technological development; or at least the twisted logic that underlies it. The following is quoted from an editorial which appeared January 5, 1979 in the Houston Post supporting Jimmy Carter’s call for $500 million to modernize nuclear weapons facilities; “The face lifting for our nuclear arms production complex is planned as part of a five year expansion program for our strategic nuclear arsenal . . . An improved version of theland based minuteman 111, the nuclear tipped cruise missle, and a new improved version of the land based minuteman III, the nuclear tipped cruise missle, and a new modest but valuable investment in improved environmental safety and production efficiency at our nuclear arms plants,” This truly novel approach to environmental protection seems to follow the same logic as does the research and Smith’s, approach to Mr. development of technology. Perhaps thedefense department should be given exclusive R & D rights to,develop solar,power. They could begin by declaring war on the Bahamas. Technologically, a weapon that could increase the thus exposing the indigeneous population to severe skin cancers would be a remarkable advance in socially useful suns ultra-violet radiation technology. Mr. Smith is scared that there will be no jobs for technicians (or for himself). Ue is afraid that change will mean his embarking upon a future with which he is unfamiliar and does not jibe with his self speculation. I wonder if Mr. Smith has ever experienced or even considered the realities of the wars waged with military developed technology - mass loss of life through unimagineably horrible means. For those of us who have, no technological advance is worth the price. 1 wonder if Mr. Smith knows that the most toxic chemical known to man, so called Dioxin, is a by-product of military technology the defolient used to destry areable land in Vietnam and its lethal military technology the defolient used to destroy areable land in Vietnam and its lethal Furthermore, military technology tends to be crude in that a great deal of sophistication is channeled toward a single narrow purpose. Technological innovation however, flourishes under programs with peaceful intentions and pioneering dimensions of which the much depleted and presently limp space program is a prime example. If technology seems to advance under military control it is only because that is where the money and influence are and not due to any great social vision on the part of the Departmetn of Defense. - - William C.

On reading these articles you may have felt enlightened, depressed, or worried. You may have found yourself shaking your head and saying, “Yes, I see the problem.

Chairman of the Faculty Senate Standing ommittee on Academic Freedom and Responsibility, announced Friday (hat the Committee will hold closed confidential hearings on the Main Street and Amherst Campuses. I he purpose of these hearings is to allow faculty, staff, students and administrators to register complaints or charges of either infringement of academic freedom or professional irresponsibility on the part of any member of the university community. These hearings will be held from 8:00 p.m. until 10 00 p.m. on Mam Street in Squire Hall. Room 232, on March 14. 1974 and on Amherst Campus in Norton Hall, Room 203, on March 21, 1979 Appointments may be made by calling Leo Loubere at 636-2181. Submissions in writing to the chairman will also be welcomed and will be treated confidentially. Loubere, in announcing these hearings, explained that the Committee is responding in this fashion to its charge, as formulated by the Executive Committee of the Faculty Senate. He stresses that the Committee on Academic Freedom and Responsibility cannot act on rumor or speculation but is searching for facts that can be substantiated beyond .question before it makes any recommendations to the Executive Committee of the Faculty Senate. Professor Loubere urges that, if any member of the academic community feels that his/her rights to academic freedom have been infringed or threatened, come he/she forward to inform the Committee. He also urges that, if any member of the academic community feels that any member of faculty, staff, or administration has failed to act in a professionally responsible manner, he/she also come forward to seek the help of the Committee. The members of the Committee on Academic Freedom and Responsibility are: Leo Loubere, History; Tom Connelly, English; Murray Brown, Economics, Arlene Collins, Microbiology; Mervyn Alleyne, Linguistics; Mike Milstein, Educational Administration. ( was Nothing unusual A futurologists’ fantasy? Hardly. The social foundations have been laid already, and the blueprints exist-in the economic theories of specialization, the division of labor, and comparative advantage. Just as the American economy earlier shifted from an agricultural to an industrial base, the “educationalization” of the economy can be viewed as the logical next step in our country’s historical readjustment to major changes in market forces and technology? Based on our past record of social adjustments, massive structural changes are not the least unusual for the American economy. In fact, we constantly have demonstrated a kind of genius for them. Few people, for example, in 1810 would have-predicted that the agricultural work force, then 84 per cent of the total work force, would fall below 50 per cent in the 1880’s, and below 25 per cent in the 1920’s. Today agricultural jobs are still disappearing. They threaten to fall below 3 per cent despite massive government subsidies designed to prolong the existence of the family farm. But while agricultural employment was declining, employment in other sectors of the economy was booming beyond belief. By 1900, the industrial activities manufacturing, mining, of and construction accounted for 27 per cent of the work force, and services such as transportation, utilities, trade, finance, education and government accounted for 30 per cent of all America’s jobs. Mastrantonio’s announces price-fixed early evening dining China for education without expectations of political repercussions. But how many would have seriously thought in 1943 that Germany and Japan would, in 30 years, become our strongest military and economic partners, and, that Britain and France would be weak and undependable? Even if the Chinese source of millions of students is not fully realized, the oil-rich Middle East, and resource-rich Africa and Latin America seem sure to be suppliers of masses of students. Is the possibility of America as a mass educational factory economically sound? It is likely that the United Slates enjoys an economic “comparative advantage” in the production of higher-education services on a mass scale. This means that the real economic costs of educating a student, measured by the sacrificed alternatives of doing something else with the resources dedicated to education, are probably relatively lower in the United States than in other countries. American advantage And while we remain competitive in service industries like education, it is also abundantly clear that the United States suffers equally strong comparative disadvantages in the production of clothing, color-television sets, electrical and photographic equipment, small automobiles, and a host<;bf other manufactured products. for maximum production, incomes, and living standards, countries should specialize in those products in which they have element may have been For just $4.95 a person, you can eftjoy our nightly Price-Fixed Dining Specials.

New faculty members were hired, and new plant and equipment were installed in that decade and mass higher education became a reality. Whole new state universities were created in the span of a few years, and hundreds of two-year colleges emerged to service the preferences of local communities. Valuable knowledge of the educational process has been developed and has contributed to the strengthening of the administration and management of colleges and universities. The world's classroom It seems likely that sometime in the next hundred years the United States" will become substantially dependent on imported stockpiled natural resources and on imported manufactured consumer goods. The American advantage will likely reside in the provision of information services education, communications, scientific research. In a perfect world of unhampered international trade, specialization and division of labor would lead the United States to employ a substantial portion of its work force in something like the “megacademe” we have been discussing. Even if it does not happen soon, it does seem likely that it will happen eventually. Equally — important is the strong likelihood that it is economically feasible today. Looking ahead and behind, America’s emergence as the world’s classroom is a far more likely prospect now than a 3 per cent agricultural work force was in 1810. , Mastrantonio’S on the Niagara Falls Boulevard at Eggert Road For reservations: (716) 886-3866 Alpha Epsilon Delta: The National Preprofessional Honor Society Applications now available in 220 Squire Feb. 26 March 2 — Requirements are a min 3.0 science cum and at least 2nd semester sophomore standing.

War Memorial Stadium, stuck in the heart of the decaying East Side of Buffalo, has been granted a new lease on life with the return of professional baseball to the Nickel City. Consturcled in the post-depression era of 1942, the “Rockpile” as it is somewhat affectionately called, was formerly the site of Buffalo’s most celebrated sporting events. Friday nights wercfilled with local high-school talent battling for city championships, fighting late fall snow storms as well as rivals in order to salvage the pride of the city. The University of Buffalo left its niche in the rusting grandstand, dueling opposing gridders before the cheers and jeers of over 40,000 supporters. As recently as last fall, the baseball Bulls tested tire strength of the grandstand bleachers while booming mammoth home runs off Canisius College hurlers. War Memorial saw its glory clays come and go in the early 1960’s with the birth of the American Football League. For more than a decade, the Buffalo Bills scrapped with the best in football, building a dedicated following in the process. The era began with a league that barely survived its infancy and ended when a flashy Californian named O.J. Simpson helped run the Bills out to the suburban security of Orchard Park. the country’s history. But lime also heals, and baseball fans in Buffalo should mend their mental wounds and once again venture out to the corner of Best and Masten to help revitalize the tradition of professional baseball in Buffalo.- David Davidson SPECIALS Rooties MONDAY Pump Room Football was not the sole supporter of the mid-city stadium. Until June 1970, Buffalo was regarded as one of the minor league baseball capitals of North America. The Buffalo Bisons, affiliated with the Cincinnati Reds in the fateful summer of 1970, packed up and left for Indianapolis. All that remained was a pathway paved with baseball memories. If an all-star team was chosen out of former Buffalo diamond sta*s, such greats as Warren Spahn, Johnny Bench and Fd Kranepool would just be a beginning. Torn by the turmoil of violent riots in the 1960’s, the sports center of Buffalo was branded as “unsafe”. As Rich Stadium, present home of the Bills, neared completion, the once capacity crowds gave way to empty sections in the upper deck. Attending a night game was virtually out of the question as assault and vandalism incidents raised fear in the hearts of even loyal patrons. Now, almost a decade later, Buffalo Mayor James Griffin has confirmed reports of a Double A minor league franchise making its home in buffalo. Still unnamed, the club will survive only if the “hazardous to health” branding of the stadium heals. Ten years later, it still shows the scars of an important movement in the city’s and Uistt's - 3 splits hr *1,00 TUESDAY A! mM drillsitV fries hr SIS Stahl Road •* MiNersfort Hwy. 688-0100 Floss HOME OF THE T's; For those readers who have never had a glimpse of War Memorial Stadium, this is it.

Hoffman needs the signatures of 600 undergraduates to put his idea before the student body as a referendum. —OlVIncanzo Jiwi Killigrew, Student Association Treasurer Under attack at Tuesday's Senate meeting Hoffman, who is not connected 'with the Senate or SA, said his petition calls for the abolition of Article 2 of the Student Association constitution. Article 2 creates the three SA Task Forces (student affairs, student activities and academic affairs) from which 2S of the senators are drawn. Ten Senators are elected at large and the eleven SA officers are also members of the Senate, bringing the total membership to 46. Hoffman intends to replace the current Senate with a provisional one whose sole purpose, he said, would be to reform the constitution and hold elections in the Spring. Hoffman said he is pursuing his referendum because rpost Senators are “not a representative body and they’re ruining student credibility both within the University and the community.” He said he reached his conclusion by attending Senate meetings and talking with people from “all sides of the issue.” “Our present Senate is accomplishing very little, if nothing,” said Hoffman. “It’s not representative and is making undergraduates look foolish.” He noted that his proposed provisional senate would be comprised of representatives from all student organizations which he claims “in itself general would be more representative.” Hoffman said he is initiating his petition drive to allow undergraduates through an open forum to vote on the Senate's legitimacy. He warned, “This may be the last chance for an effective student government next year.” — — Faculty Senate reiterates objection to DUE Council by Jay Rosen Editor in Chief accompanying their proposal, had stressed that it would assign responsibility for undergraduate education to the appropriate vice-president a principle known as “line - No, no, a thousand times no. With almost that much certainty. Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Carver has presented the Senate’s view on the proposed “Council on Undergraduate Education” the latest plan to resolve the continuing dispute over the role of Undergraduate Dean John Heradotto. Carver, in a memo written on the Senate Esecutive Committee’s behalf and sent Wednesday to University President Robert L. Ketter, ripped into the proposal that Vice President for Health Sciences F. Carter Pannill and Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn presented February 7. The Vice President’s plan would create a new “Council” to review and recommend policy within the undergraduate division. Such a Council, Carver wrote, would not only “sharpen the division” between Bunn and Pannill's authority, but would needlessly duplicate the responsibilities of the Faculty Senate in reviewing policy. Carver also questioned the autonomy of the new Council, writing: “We note that the proposed Council on Undergraduate Education is given few powers, little authority and no staff; so it is bound to function as an advisory body to the two vice-presidents rather than as an independent body with its own identity.” — Line authority challenged Bunn and Pannill, in a February 7 memo Inside: Shuffle off to the moon—P. 5 / authority.” Peradotto as Bunn’s associate would be delegated for undergraduate programs in Academic Affairs, while an “administrative officer” in Pannill’s office would be assigned the undergrad program in that division, according to the Bunn/Pannill proposal. To this, Carver wrote: “The proposal of Drs. Bunn and Pannill arises out of ifn unswerving and single-minded devotion to the principle of line accountability.” Although conceeding that this could be better used by the University, the memo states: “The missions, services, and functions of the University often cut across major lines of accountability; and, where this is the case, the University needs to have officers whose responsibility cuts across major administrative divisions The memo notes that neither the Craduate nor the Continuing Education divisions mesh -with the principle of line accountability, but rather cut across Health Sciences and Academic Affairs. — — responsibility . This latest statement marks the second vehement Senate reaction against a Bunn/Pannill plan, the first coming in December when the two Vice Presidents’ proposal to shift responsibility for undergraduate programs in Health Sciences to Pannill was publicly exposed. The Senate Executive Commitee reminded Ketter then of the Senate’s 1977 report outlining the role of the DUE Dean. That report strongly urged that one office and one officer be assigned responsibility for undergraduate education, a principle Bunn and Pannill undercut in working out the details of the DUE Dean’s role. Wednesday’s memo again underscores the Senate’s original sentiment on the Dean’s role. It stated that the Executive Committee finds the latest Bunn/Pannill proposal “patently and outrageously disregardful of the main thrust” of a host of resolutions and documents, beginning with the 1977 report. . Second Senate objection Schwartz to object Ketter, who was due back from a vacation in Tahiti this week, had asked constituencies represented on the Academic Cabinet to send him their recommendations on the Bunn/Pannill plan, which was presented to theCabinet that the Emphasizing Undergraduate Dean’s responsibilities and authority must be University-wide, Carver noted that some parts of the Bunn/Pannill plan might be useful in that respect. But. he stated, “the proposed.Council . . . would do more harm than good, and must be either rejected or completely redefined . . .” Student Association (SA) President Karl Schwartz was still working on his response Wednesday, which he said will come out against the Bunn/Panpill proposal “in the strongest possible terms.” Ketter’s decision is expected within two weeks.

One section of the report is scheduled for Fall implementation, with provisions fbr refinement in the following years. Instruction Professor Gerald Rising suggested delaying implementation until Fall 1980 to allow the 1979 Committee more time to reach a consensus before turning it over to the Faculty Senate as a whole. Rising also wanted more time to consider specific aspects of the 32 page Report, which the Committee received during the meeting. Phase-One of the Report proposed a total of 11 courses outside a student’s major. The required applying only to students enrolling in courses 1979-80 and transfer students with fewer than 15 credits are divided among six “knowledge areas,” including two from the area of Foreign Language.

LaFleche stalled action on the proposed changes in both the Open Meetings- Law and The Frecdom-Of Information Act. A recent court decision has enabled subcommittees of public agencies to elude the law and hold private meetings. COPAR wants to eliminate that escape clause by defining the term “committee” to include such groups. COPAR’s decision will go to the State Legislature as a bill to change both laws. Defining itself as a subcommittee, UB’s Faculty Senate Executive Committee has placed itself beyond the scope of the Open Meetings Law. Should the COPAR proposal become law, .that definition would become invalid. State’s Open Meetings Law has been temporarily stalled. The Executive Director of the Committee on Public Access to Records (COPAR), Robert J. Freeman, has prepared recommendations that would enable a newspaper or a private citizen to sue an offending body and broaden Jurisdiction of the law. But a lack of members from COPAR's public segment at the last meeting enabled a delegate from the government sector to delay decision on the bill.

Chairman of the General Education Committee, Baker, noted that the two language courses could be taken in different areas. Also, he said, the requirement could be fulfilled by upper level courses, thus accomodating those students who already had a background in a language. Baker stressed that “Phase-Two” would provide a mechanism for modifying the initial requirements, but added that they would remain basically intact. Phase-Two, according to the report, would continue to develop the General Education program for Fall 1980 and beyond. The Committee, said Baker, tried to “achieve some goals as immediately as was feasible, emphasizing breadth of education, and to acheive a mandate to refine the basics and develop alternatives.” Phase-Two proposes a separate basic skills component, consisting of two courses in English Composition and a math or computation course. 'Norman According to Baker, both faculty, and student surveys indicated a need for improvement of basic skills. Three groups of students could be identified, he said those who need remedial work, those who don’t necessarily need remedial work but whose basic skills could be enhanced by the requirement, and those who qualify for exemption from all or part of the requirement. Bade expressed concern that the Fall ’79 might pose difficulties for students requirements who already have rigid major requirements, such as in engineering. Baker cited a proposal in Phase-Two instructing the Committee to consider adjustments in-the program in certain cases. This would include extensive accreditation departments with requirements as well as Millard Fillmore College (the night school) and transfer students, HOED TUBS. OFFER GOOD UNTIL MARCH 15,1319.

Survey to study Food Service and vending machine complaints by Mark Meltzer Campus Editor What do people think of Food Service? That’s the question burning in the minds of the Faculty Student Association (FSA) Board of Directors, Food Service’s governing body. Their search for an answer begins as a comprehensive survey designed to just what people like and dislike the most and why. find Assistant marketing professor Stephen Goodwin of UB’s School of Management is supervising the study, which will cost FSA an estimated $1200. Goodwin and management student Gary Jacobi designed the questionnaire but Jacobi will be doing most of the collating of information. Goodwin said the survey is expected to be five to six pages and will be issued within the week. survey will employ numerically scaled questions along what Goodwin called a “multi attribute framework.” Participants will be asked about The nice little coffee club.” Claiming that UB has “absorbed beyond the point of osmosis” various budget reductions, Pierce calls for the Council’s attention to the “serious implications” of an increased tuition. The proposal which Pierce will ask the Council to approve states the group’s opposition to a SUNY-wide tuition hike and is to be forwarded to the SUNY Trustees with whom the final decision rests. - No sunshine Pierce said on Wednesday that while he doesn’t anticipate “too much controversy” to result from the resolution, he expects from the Council, “the standard argument that a tuition increase has not yet been passed.” Pierce claims, however, “The best defense is a good offense. There can be no harm to a resolution of opposition.” Also sought by Pierce will be the Council’s support of a resolution censuring Carver for closing a Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting to a reporter from The Spectrum on January 31, thus violating the Sunshine Law.

Two thirds of the sample will be students (undergrads and grads from both day and night divisions) with the other third coming from the faculty, staff and administrative segments of the University. While the specific complaints of the University community will not be clear until the survey results are analyzed May 4 according to Goodwin several trouble spots have emerged without the survey.

At least that’s what a panel of student taste testers concluded after comparing samples of Food Service’s “Frosted Flakes” with Kelloggs’ popular breakfast cereal. The 10 person panel unanimously found Food Service’s flakes inferior to the Kelloggs variety, although the group preferred Food Service’s “Crisp Rice” to Kellogss’ Rice Krispies by a 5—4—1 vote. Each studept sampled unlabeled samples of both varieties and was asked by The Spectrum to choose the better tasting brandWhile it was generally conceeded that there “was almost no difference” between the rice cereal, the student panel was critical of the Food Service “Frosted Flakes;” Students found the flakes to be “too thick,” “not sweet enough” and said they possessed a “chemical aftertaste.” “This reminds me of toxiology lab,” one student declared. £ood Service switched from Kelloggs and Post cereals last semester in a move to cut costs..The new cereal, manufactured by Van Brqdy Mills, is bought in bulk and kept in glass jars, which Food Service Buyer Bob Frawley admitted could cause staleness. Food Service Director Donald Hosie said that students frequently pocketed the one ounce boxes of cereal that were used prior to the switch, even though students are not permitted to remove food from the cafeterias. Hosie explained that Food Service chose not to continue to buy Kelloggs and Post cereals and change the method of serving them because savings could be achieved by switching to Van Brody. “We tested it and we felt it was high quality,” Frawley said. But the student opinion is apparently different. “I don’t get cereal anymore,” one student complained. in addition the switch in brands has alsa narrowed the selection for students. “Sugar Crisp,** “Fruit Loops,” “Cheerios” and “Cocoa Krispies” are no longer available. reported numerous- complaints about some of the machines, which they say, have been known to fill up a cup or two with hot water and Ughtener.

Meanwhile, a group of Med School students are considering a lawsuit contending that FSA is guilty of serious vending service violations. The Farber Hall area that the Med students are concerned about is considered a high traffic area. Snyder was disturbed that the students have threatened to take legal action instead of consulting FSA’s Vending Director. FSA President Joe Darcy a student representative said the group’s demands have not been made - clear. Prices Complaints have also been received from Millard Fillmore College students (MFC) who frequently rely on vending machines for dinner between work and classes. A MFC student was appointed Wednesday to the Food Service Standing Advisory committee to funnel in those complaints.

Students urged Also brought before the group will be the issue of a medical school application question on abortion. Pierce said he not only wants to know why a “to-be medical student’s” stand on abortion is important, but also whether the information is used as criteria for admission. “1 would like a statement from Ketter that this practice wi'l be stopped,” , he said. Student Association (JSA) President Karl Schwartz will deliver a report to the Council on student life at UB. He said Wednesday, “I want to give the Council an accurate perspective. It is my suspicion that their beliefs are based on previous interaction with Council members, and are not in tune with where students are at.” A representative from the Graduate Student Association will also attend the meeting to express his group’s position on University issues discussed.

In this column, 1 would like to recommend some ideas that researchers Linda Flower and John Hayes describe m Problem Solving Strategies and the Writing Process. They may be worth a try if you find yourself stuck at any point when writing a paper. All of the following stragegies are “self-helps,” but if you can find a friend willing to assist you, so much the better. Brainstorm. When you are stuck, the most counter-productive thing you can do is to worry prematurely about editing sentences and ideas to make everything “fit.” Try brainstorming, or writing down whatever comes into your head when you think about the topic about which you are writing. Do not edit on the basis of quality or usefulness of ideas until you have allowed yourself to let all of your thoughts, good and bad alike, to flow out onto paper. Something that seems silly at first may develop into one of your best ideas when you examine It and all its connections more carefully. You never know what might slip past the censor if only you would let it. /. 2. Roleplay. Pretend you are several different people such as your professor, a fellow classmate, or another student who has no knowledge about the subject you are discussing. Listening to your paper in one of these roles will help you anticipate questions and objections your real audience will be likely to raise about your draft. You will therefore be able to formulate answers to these possible questions in advance, and you will in turn have discovered information that ought to be included in your paper that you would perhaps not have considered otherwise. 3. Create analogies. Start thinking about the subject about which you are writing as being comparable to something else. For example, suppose you must explain the concept of the interdependence of environmental systems. Beginning with a statement such as “the environmental systems are like parts of the human body,” to use a simple example, will force you to see connections, and to tap into a different vocabulary and different “pockets” of knowledge, as Hayes and Flower call them. You will enable yourself to see new relationships if you continue to play out your analogy between the environment and the human body. When you’ve exhausted all the possible connections, try formulating other analogies which may yield even/more ideas that you might want to incorporate into your paper. Getting a different perspective on your subject in this manner is often all that is necessary to get you writing again after you have run into a dead end. 4. Nutshell your ideas. Sometimes writers are stuck because they have somehow lost a sense of the purpose of their assignment, or of the central question they are addressing. Force yourself to explain the major point of your paper in no more than two or three serttences. This will help yoq get back on the track, and to get rid of excess data or peripheral information that may have temporarily gotten in your way. 5. “Tree” your ideas. Hayes and Flower offer this strategy as a way of graphically seeing how the ideas for your paper are related. “Treeing” is essentially an outlining strategy, but it is different from traditional outlining techniques in some important ways. Tree outlines look like exactly what the name implies. On your scrap paper you may have your main idea listed at the center or “trunk” ef- your outline. Radiating from the trunk may be several “branches,” representing ideas that support your main idea. The branches may break off into even smaller branches representing related information you want to include in your paper. Such a picture of your ideas will often allow you to spot branches or bits of information that are not connected to your central question. You may see gaps in the drawing that represent gaps in your thinking. The tree you end up with after diagramming your ideas may seem messy, particularly to anyone whQisused to the more traditional “linear” method of outlining. Yet treeing probably comes closer to representing the way we think than does a straight column of headings on a page. Treeing may be particularly useful to a writer who is stuck because he can see in picture form which “branch” may be causing lus writing problem. He can then decide whether to saw it off or attempt to graft it so that his ideas flow smoothly once again. 6. Take a break. The final strategy I would like to recommend is rest. Hvery once in a while a writer is blocked because he is tired or he is suffering from tunnel vision. That is when stopping fora while may be the best way to get started again. Go outside, read a book, talk to a friend, but keep a note pad and pencil with you just in case one of these activities triggers your ideas again. Something may turn up in that book or during that conversation that may give you an entirely new perspective on the subject about which you are writing. Suddenly things may just click and you’ll need to write down the connection immediately before you lose your train of thought. You will go back to your writing with new ideas and new energy to help you over the hurdles. February 28thwHI not be considered in next years budget. Perhaps these strategies and the comfort of knowing that you are not alone will help you get through the paper that is giving you a hard time. The real fact about composing is that it is hard work, bvery writer gets stuck, some more than others, some at the beginning, some at the end, some all throughout the paper. Unfortunately, waiting for inspiration has never been a very reliable or productive means of getting a writer “unstuck.”. Actively practicing stragegies like brainstorming and treeing ideas as described in the column will no doubt prove to be more effective than straining your ear to listen for the Muse to start singing Rita Cergcr Useful reading:' Hayes, John and Linda Howei.

A ct now and you can reserve one and a half cubic feet for a /lockage aboard one of the more than 500 space shuttle flights to be launched between 1980 and 1992. Don't forget to mail your cheek or money order to: Director of Financial Management, Code OF. National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA j Headquarters, Washington; D.C. before midnight tomorrow and lake advantage of this unprecendented offer. Remember, remaining space is going fast, so don't delay. ” This is no bogus enterprise. Although NASA hasn’t stooped so low as to purchase spots on daytime TV along the lines of Ronco’fr Vegematic or K-Tel’s records, it has amply publicized this space-age opportunity, marketing it as “The Getaway Plan.” Steven Spielberg, General Electric, the European Space Agency, and San Diego Community College are,among those who'have already contracted for orbital packages aboard the Shuttle. The reservations range from small university research packages to multimillion dollar scientific and industrial laboratory projects. The Space Shuttle has gone one giant step beyond the exploration phase of space endeavors that began with Sputnik in 1957 and is now on the verge of the industrial and economic exploitation of the extraterrestial sphere. NASA brainstorm The Space Shuttle was conceived in the late 60’s when manned space flight was in full swing and public enthusiasm for the venture was at its peak. The first orbital flight of the reusable Space Shuttle is set for October of this year, although recent complications with the vehicle’s engine will probably force NASA to push the launch date forward. In any event, the first delta-winged Space Shuttle, named the Enterprise after the craft of Star Trek fame, is sure to be aloft by 1980. The project constitutes the most expensive and ambitious NASA brainstorm since the lunar-bound Apollo missions. The Shuttle marks a major conceptual change in the launching of payloads (cargo that is shipped) into earth orbit. The conventional Saturn and Titan rockets that boosted the astronauts into space were one shot deals; neither the expended rockets nor the manned command modules were usable following flight. The Space Shuttle on the other hand is not only recyclable (good for 100 missions without major overhaul), but is designed to glide to a landing on a .modified airstrip like conventional aircraft, Because it is reusable and more fuel efficient, the craft vastly reduces the cost of sending a payload into orbit. While the cost for sending a payload aloft with a conventional Titan 11I-C rocket is $1000 per pound, the Shuttle can perform the same task for satellites, formerly thought of as a “mission impossible.” Throughout the past decade there has been talk, both inside and outside, of NASA constructing large and ambitious space stations in earth’s orbit and also in certain locuses between the earth and moon where the gravitational forces of the two bodies cancel each other out. These proposed stations could be Constructed in space using materials ferried into orbit by the Enterprise or its sister ships which ultimately will number five. With little fanfare several billion dollars have poured into the development of the Space Shuttle project - $20 billion, Rockwell International, the people who almost gave us the B-l Bomber, was awarded the major share of the contract for building the craft and to be sure has reaped a hefty profit for its endeavor. Free flight Thus far, construction and testing have run pretty much on schedule. The Shuttle, riding piggyback atop a Boeing 747, was released in mid-air for a free Bight test last year. Unwieldy as it was, the craft was successfully piloted into a landing on a modified runway at Edward’s Air Force Base. Last July, 25 new astronauts were chosen for the Space Shuttle missions from a pool of 3000 applicants. Significantly, six of the candidates are women; three are black, and one without a military is Oriental. Not only are the new background, but most of them don’t even know how to fly an airplane. All of them do however possess advanced technical degrees and will soon be instructed in the rudiments of aeronautics, spacecraft physics and space navigation.. A lengthy article! in last October’s Rolling Stone brought out the heavy emphasis on industry and corporate involvement bound up in the Space Shuttle program .Tompanics like Westinghouse, Sylvania and RCA are sending up their own satellite communications systems with the Space Shuttle. Of course, like any other NASA client, they will pay S24 million buys a whole handsomely for the cost of this service flight. Thus far only the European Space Agency has footed the bill for an entire mission to deploy their version of Skylab, Spacelab. only $160. Considerable savings Scores of satellites are deployed in earth orbit by the U.S. every year. The Shuttle, when it enters regular service early in the next decade, will bring about considerable savings in satellite launchings. Moreover it will facilitate the overhaul and servicing of existing t — Industrial applications Space offers many novel applications for manufacture and industry that Earth cannot provide, thus beckoning a new market that might be worth billions. Certain metal alloys that are far more resilient than those produced on terra-firma can be bonded in the weightlessness of space for example, beryllium, used in nuclear reactor shields. And some pharmaceutical compounds can only be separated in weightless conditions. Of course the Shuttle has a myriad of military applications the Soviets that this is the only reason for its development. Hut industry is very important too. According to John Carruthers, director of NASA’s material processing program, “We work as closely as can be with industry. My job is making them see that space offers things of interest to them and then helping them take part.” No doubt many industrial applications of space have not yet been discovered. But when the first applications are finally exploited, they are bound to have a snowballing bandwagon effect on any industry that can possibly use the new frontier.

To clarify, the basic issue is, and always has been: how to protect and promote the interests of students at a University that continually works against those interests. If the current dispute involving the Senate addressed that issue, we would not be uncomfortable with differences in views. If we thought that the Senate was at all concerned with the student body's standing in the University and simply disagreed with us over how to improve that standing, we would not be portraying the Senate's actions in the off-hand, ridiculing style that has A closer look at troubling editorial challenge a It is time, we think, to clarify our position on the Student Association (SA) Senate in order to provide our readers with a deeper understanding of our coverage and the context in which it has occurred. The Senate this year presents what might be called a challenge to this newspaper, in that reporting and its actions are made difficult by the Senate's extreme and often contradictory impulses; impulses that have more than once been presented and approved as motions, resolutions and referenda. The result is a confusing, conflicting web of legitimate, semi-legitimate and totally illegal actions borne out of a basic mistrust and animosity toward both The Spectrum and most of the SA officers. The Senate's conduct, both in its style and spirit, has often resembled a personal attack on this newspaper's editorial board and on those SA officials who are not aligned with the controlling faction in the Senate. As observers, we are frankly outraged at the totally irresponsible and frequently illegal measures the Senate has passed such as a refusal to acknowledge the Student Wide Judiciary's jurisdiction over constitutional questions. Some motions can only be described as ridiculous, the most notorious example being a vote to delay elections held three weeks prior to the vote. Others are mere power grabs, such as the establishment of an "oversight committee" to review the Executive Committee's actions. The thrust of the Senate's actions has been: to continually expand its powers and purview without regard to constitutional legitimacy, let alone the disastrous consequences for future administrations; to harass, embarass and otherwise make life difficult for the editors of The Spectrum (the ultimate aim, of course, being to destroy this newspaper and reform it with certain Senators at the helm); and to reverse the past decisions of SA officials and the SWJ regarding the November general elections, which Senators feel were illegal despite SWJ's ruling to the contrary. That, we believe is the thrust of the Senate's legislation. It has more than ohce appeared to be senseless; hence our characterization of Senators as "uncomfortable" with reality. The thrust, however, says nothing of the intent of the Senate in pursuing its - - - attacks. One of the things the Senate does have is effective leadership. That leadership, provided predominately by Senators Bob Sinkewicz and Turner Robinson and activist Michael Levinson, is powered by what we feel are questionable motives. Those motives are built around a ceaseless desire for revenge against this newspaper Why? Sinkewicz was not supported by The Spectrum when he ran for SA President last March Robinson was not supported in his bid for Executive Vice President last March and again in November. Levinson ran unsuccessfully for Editor in Chief of The Spectrumiast March and has gone generally unsupported in his personal campaigns, which include a petition drive two The thrust of the Senate's actions has been to continually expand its powers and purview, without regard to constitutional legitimacy, let alone the disastrous consequences for future SA administrations . . . . . years ago to dissolve SA and reform it as a government for course credit. Much has happened since The Spectrum incurred the wrath of Sinkewicz, Robinson and Levinson; so much that the original motives are easily obscured. The fact is that this entire controversy was founded upon and, in its utter zeal, is still fueled by a resentment against The Spectrum editors. The present SA officials end The Spectrum began to be seen as a united power block attempting to control all of student government and student activism at this University. Many Senators now believe, quite sincerely it appears, that The Spectrum controls the current SA Administration after "putting it in power" last November. The Senate leadership has been able to convince the majority of Senators that The Spectrum must be destroyed and that the current SA officials must be either removed from office or stripped of enough power to make them totally subservient to the Senate. We believe that the majority of Senators have been misled by revenge-seeking leadership; misled so drastically that they can no longer imagine a role other than to attack. Only a visit to a Senate meeting can confirm this admittedly startling observation. Indeed, that is part of the problem in covering the Senate much of what it does has to be seen to be believed. The Senate’s single-minded campaign to destroy what it sees as the present student power structure has left crucial University-wide issues untouched. The Academic Plan, the General Education program, the Springer report, the DUE Dean controversy, attrition and retention, the lack of a centralized student union, the tuition hike battle, inadequate funding and support for nearly all student services like advisement, and literally dozens of other critical issues have been virtually ignored by the Senate. This is the real outrage in student government. Probably 98 percent of the work done on any of the above issues has been assumed by the SA officers, the ones the Senate would like to get rid of. Conversely, probably 98 percent of the Senate's work revolves around elaborate schemes to weaken the influence of either The Spectrum or the SA officers. Meanwhile, the University Administration consistently works against the best interests of students. It is more than an inconvenience for the SA officers to take time out from battling Capen Hall and defend themselves against the Senate's attacks; it is an utter efnbarrassment. Yes, an embarrassment. The Administration can sit back and laugh at the current bitterness, knowing that if the Senate continues to pass legislation undermining the foundation of SA, student leadership will disintegrate and University officials will have more than adequate reason to step in and decide a few things themselves. The true horror in this nightmaie is that it shows exactly why students should not be allowed to govern — themselves. Without knowing it, the Senate has laid the foundation for administrative interference in student government. It has weakened whatever respect SA officers have been able to earn among the men with real power at this University. It has blunted a long-standing student battle for greater responsibility and greater freedom in shaping the University experience of undergraduates here. The Senate has, in short, worked against student interests on a University-wide level. It is therefore dangerous and destructive in ways not readily apparent to the average student. Beneath the illegalities and absurdities of the Senate s actions, there is considerable unfairness. The current SA Administration has been one of the most cohesive and dedicated group of student leaders in recent years, a group that has won the respect of many administrators with its mature, responsible approach to student advocacy. Working as a team, they have carved many footholds in the Capen Hall power structure. That they should be regularly subjected to the Senate's verbal and legislative assaults is both ironic given the Senate's total failure to address the real issues within the - University - and decidedly unjust. On certain crucial issues the informal alliance between the The Spectrum's editorial thrust and SA's official stands has won considerable influence for students, especially in academic matters like the on-going planning for the Springer report On nearly all University-wide issues and this year, the key issues are indeed University-wide there 1$ usually a very clear student side and -a vety clear Administration side. Protecting student interests is no easy task, but identifying them is. Giyen this, it makes perfect sense for The Spectrum and SA officers to agree on University-wide issues. It makes even more sense to work jointly towards their resolution. We call this coopetation« The Senate calls this conspiracy and seeks to dismantle it. Whatever it is, the Administration has this year been pressured into dealing more directly with student representatives. - — characterized our editorial policy. But, we do not even sense that the Senate has an awareness of the crucial University issues facing students, let alone a willingness to address them. Most Senators are ignorant of more than parliamentary procedure. They are ignorant of what is going on around here in this critical year in the University's history. That ignorance, coupled with the Senate's penchant for personal attack, has thoroughly disillusioned us to the point where we see no hope in the Senate as presently constituted. But the bleakness of the scene does not free us from our responsibility to cover it. We have attempted to present accurate news accounts of Senate meetings. This task is made difficult because the news frequently involves us, as editors, and because the Senate's actions are often confusing, contradictory and in some cases purely ludicrous. Senate meetings are usually wild, unpredictable circuses with little or no respect for older or intelligent debate; they drag on for hours, often degenerating into pointless bickering between clashing personalities. They are difficult to cover since the focus of the Senate's actions is usually attack for its own sake. As a newspaper, we don't know quite what to do under these circumstances, especially since the Senate is quite sure of what it wants to do with us: destroy the publication we have worked hard to improve. Certainly the relentless attack on our organization has embittered If we thought that the Senate was at all concerned with the student body 's standing in the University and simply disagreed with us over how to improve that standing, we would not he portraying the Senate's actions in the off-hand, ridiculing style that has characterized our editorial policy . . . our views toward the Senate leadership, yet we do not feel we have been unfair to that leadership. Bob Sinkewicz has had a standing invitation to be interviewed on his position for over a month. He recently informed us that he has tentatively decided not to accept that invitatiort. All Senators have been free to express their views through the Letters to the Editor column and several have done so. We have never edited, censored, discouraged or refused to print any letter by a Senator Levinson and Robinson included. We are not surprised that many Senators are dissatisfied with our coverage of their meetings. They are difficult people to please. Nor are we shocked by many Senators continuing animosity towards us. What we are most disturbed by is the student body's passive acceptance of the Senate. It is disheartening to see the representative body of the students allowed to run wild at its own meetings, with virtually no.regard for student interests and no claim to a broad-based constituency of any kind. Most Senators, we believe, do not represent the interest of anyone but themselves and the student body, unhappily, does not appear willing to do anything about it. Vet, we do not believe that students should take our word for it. We urge all readers to attend the next Senate meeting; they are all advertised in The Spectrum. See your government "in action." Lastly, we are not without fault in the entire Sen-' controversy. There are certainly issues that .he Spectrum could have handled more equitab’,. But people behave differently under attack and v a are no exception. If our judgement has been d uded by political tension, then that is our weakness at d we must confront it. But we will confront it with a sir erity that is totally lacking in the Senate's leadershi it is a sincerity that we feel has broadly cbaractt ized our performance as a newspaper; an attitude abr t students and their place in the University that mak us burn at the trigger-happy guided and - . ; , counter-productive campaigns. The Student Association Senate and its vengeful leadership ought to be stopped. It's tat simple. Until it is, we will attempt to portray the Senate's actions in as reasonable a fight as we can. It will not be an easy task as recent history has shown us. ; �dayfridayfridayfi feedback Educational enrichment Colleges add to diversity To thi’ Editor To the Editor. 'In his letter of February 16. Mark O’Leary trots out a series of tired cliches and criticisms with little correspondence to the current reality. He criticizes with little knowledge, overlooks the positive, and cites as real supposed practices that (if they ever existed) no longer characterize the Colleges. The Colleges at this University are chartered through an elaborate process of academic review. All courses including the auto mechanics course cited by Mr.'O’Leary go through an elaborate process of - As an active member of Women’s Studies College, I would like to comment on Mark O’Leary’s letter (Friday, Feb. 16). in which he criticized the Collegiate System at including death and dying, nutrition, College H social and ethical values in medicine without value? (or, for that matter, are they even “non-traditional?”) Where did he ever get the idea that a grade of B could be obtained without completing course requirements? This is explicitly prohibited in the Colleges; and I should note that B is never a minimum grade, in any College unit. Yes, F.llicott is large and impersonal. It has a more human scale, a more humane basis, largely because of the Colleges housed in the complex. A glance at Backpage, or at the calendar in the Reporter, would quickly show a variety of activiies in Ellicott sponsored by Colleges. Finally, let me note that Mr. O’Leary lacks much knowledge of Oxford and Cambridge. 1 completed my Ph.D. at Oxford, and recently returned from a sabbatical leave there. Of the 37 Colleges at Oxford, some are small (less than 60), others range well above 600. The basic difference between Buffalo and Oxford is that instruction is given overwhelmingly by Departments here, predominantly by Colleges in Oxford. The Colleges at this institution have been designed as interdisciplinary undergraduate teaching units that supplement and extend the activities of departments. We are proud to carry this* responsibility, but recognize that it involves a basically different set of obligations trom that prevailing on the other side of the Atlantic. It might be nice to establish “Oxbridge on the Ellicott,” indeed, there are some parts of the Collegiate System (such as Vico College) that attempt to emulate some of the better aspects of British liberal arts, tutorial style undergraduate education. But we are part of a state university, catering to a far broader serjes of student expectations. The Colleges contribute to this diversity, avoiding the narrow scholasticism that, at its worst, has at times characterized quality American and British universities. — — Claude K. Welch, Jr. Interim Dean The Spectrum Friday, 23 February 1979 Editor-in-Chief Jay Rosen UB.

Mr. O'L.eary attacked specific Colleges, among them WSC, saying that these courses provide a forum for the department’s axe-grinding. Again, not true.

These seminar classes do S effectively break down academic barriers.

The Colleges enrich students’ educational experiences at UB; they do not lower scholastic standard s. 'I Judy The Colleges experience To the Editor: Gerich Lnglish, it was an act of God); and incredibly thick and thin variation in my list of history courses. So much for traditional education as instructor spoke I’d like to refute the bulk of Mark O’Leary’s letter. However, because it was so confused and vague, this letter will have to be a bit long. Obsjensibly, Mark’s letter was an attack on Spitzberg’s credibility (he got three sentences in the article); in reality the letter was an attack on the Colleges (25 sentences). Spitzberg should not be blamed for the implementation of his plan, and The Colleges should not be accountable for the design of the Amherst Campus or the designs of the Administration either. The Amherst Campus was built solely to isolate the student body from the community, and fragment it internally. The college plan was added on as a means to rationalize the original goal. That the plan was added on administrative goal, as can be seen by the financial and bureaucratic backing it’s received since it’s inception. Yes, the Amherst Campus is good at isolating people it was physically designed for that purpose, but it certainly isn’t the fault ofThe Colleges. But what about The Colleges as they exist today? Unbelievable as it may sound, they have goals and ideals far removed from the original college plan. Are they elite? Small by choice? Do they sit on piles of money while refusing to sponsor activities? Or is Mark simply pissed off because he’s too much of an aristocrat to join the common “elite”? (Or, maybe he’s afraid it’s like a type of frat and won’t let him in.) My own personal experience is with WSC and AMS, so let me start there. They have their doors open to everyone. No one is excluded. Tolstoy and WSC aren’t just for gay people; RCC isn’t just for people like The Fox of Chicago; AMS isn’t just for radicals, etc. New people and ideas are welcome ; including regular day students; older first-time and returning students; and minorities. They reject the idea that good education should only be made available to an elite. Yes, Mark, you too can take a College course or join a College, but if you don’t participate, don’t complain it isn’t available. Colleges hold as many seminars, film screenings and activities as their extremely limited budgets will allow. Most Colleges have had their budgets cut every year for the last six years. But, if you never attend their activities, don’t complain that you never see any. If you don’t think they’re doing enough, then agitate for more money. And, speaking of academic standards vs. academic nonsense 1 would inquire if Mark ever took a College-course or if he is simply running on hearsay (i.e., fable)? As a graduated BA/BS in The Sciences, I’ve sat through lectures on how chickens “do it” (Anthro.); the laughable 'excuse for education of Chcm. 101 through 202 (a highly competitive pre-med-weed_-out-mill); three years of Physics (if the — - — Treasurer science courses I have ever taken (I am a political science major.). WSC does emphasize certain 3 political perspectives in its courses but no more so than any departmental courses I have ever & participated in. Certainly it’s not a valid conclusionon Mr. O’Leary’s part that WSC courses merely exist w = - exfliaination. within individual Colleges, through the Colleges Curriculum Committee, and through the DUE Curriculum Committee. Many of the subjects are taught in interdisciplinary fashions. Should one consider an introduction to environmental studies “bastardized” because it draws on insights from both natural and social sciences? Are the courses in Vol. 29, No. 62 i vj - the model for excellence. The standards can't gel much lower than that. Only in WSC and AMS courses have 1 found what’s lacking in the University as a whole: goals arc decided 1. Consistency of standards on by consensus of teachers and are adhered to there’s no such animal as, professor-god-dictator upon whose caprice the class exists. 2. Genuine dedication to real learning where the world itself is not divided into “science” separate from “history” separate from “politics,” etc. The courses need not be divided either. Philosophers will tell you modern science developed ffom philosophical considerations of “rational;” scientists know that technology changes history; the politically aware study how philosophy and science are controlled, etc. In this context, it makes sense to talk about auto mechanics and politics, if one studies the questions of sex roles, learned helplessness, and strives to develop greater skills and independence in dealing with the world. “Learning” is the process of developing awareness of both academic background; and using skill in understanding and controlling the world around you. 3. Paradoxically, the existence of a fair grading because goals are so clearly understood, system and grading standards are pertinent to the goals; and because they are so uniform, grading is generally more reflective of progress; and even-handed. I have never gotten an “easy A” from a College course they all require investment of time and effort. Generally, grading requires judgement on the part of large science classes go the “scientific instructors route” (handout exams and look for spit-back answers); courses taught by individual professors without clear-cut goals end up being a matter of personal feeling or power. WSC looks at certain standards to insure that adequate effort has been maintained (class attendance, journals), but also realizes that people often reach the same goals through different routes, and encourages people to show their development in the best possible way. The thorny question of fair grading has never been answered but it can be easily demonstrated that grading in the University as a whole often serves purposes other than reasonable evaluation. (If you don’t believe it, take a heavily pre-med bio course.) I can see where Mark, from a limited point of view (1 could guess he is a freshman or sophomore living- in the dorms), would view The Colleges as privileged cliques who, with some backing from the Administration, obtain privileges in classes, dorms, etc. I think it’s a common misconception. He also thinks that the Amherst Campus was built for The Colleges. I would invite him to become involved in a College and discover the reality. — - - - - — - Katherine Kasza Stick to the five W’s T<> the Editor: 1 think that it is high time that somebody seriously questions the reliability of information published in The Spectrum. This is the only news that we read and by virtue of that fact alone, I ignore the situation any longer. It has deteriorated from a ridiculous to a downright dangerous brand of reporting. 1 am specifically referring to editorials which seek to ridicule and insult^the Student Senate, under the guise of satire or offbeat reporting. It would have been more productive if the ‘true’ events that yob wished to underscore were presented to the public in context. It is obvious that the editorial staff has become very defensive, in the face of criticism and seeks to retaliate under the guise of ‘editorial.’ 1 expect an editorial io provide a serious well-documented analysis and comment on, an on-going crisis in student government. The crisis is real'. There are real reasons for what is going on. It did not just happen. The question which you have ignored for as long as cannot the crisis has existed is why. What are the isnues and what has caused them to become issues. Flippant and off-beat assumptions, erroneous conclusions, do not in any way "provide readers with an understanding of a situation and Joes, not constitute responsible journalism. 1 am especially distressed by poorly disguised attempts to ridicule the Black Student .Union. Your cartoon, depicting monkeys holding microphones, which accompanied a report of a previous Senate meeting was in poor taste, and undeniably racist. It appears that the people at The Spectrum intend to play their ‘vendetta’ games at the expense of black people on campus. I strongly suggest that you do not attempt this. Furthermore, 1 suggest that you stick to straight reporting of who said what, to whom, and where. (This seems difficult enough, considering (he number of retractions you are asked to make.) In any event, leave interpretive reporting alone. You are obviously not qualified or too immature to do this properly.

H ■ The Buffalo underground Local musicians record singles, gain momentum Tim Switala It was like some timeless and bizarre Battle of the Bands; half of the evening resting in 1966, the rest looking toward 1984. In what was probably the largest billing of rock bands ever to appear on a Buffalo stage, the recent Buffalo Music Awards at McVan’s now measures up as the latest attempt by the crawling Buffalo "Underground’’ scene to stand up on two legs. The of former Pegasus lead singer/theatrical proponent Mark Freeland, the first annual Buffalo Music Awards showcased 11 bands (included ip this was an amazing amount of musician swapping and jamming), the spontaneous advancement of four area singles, and the induction of the first Buffalo "Hall of Famer," the superlative Light Years’ bassist Bill Sheehan. Freeland is no newcomer to either Buffalo or McVan’s. Whether Freeland is remembered for his work as vocalist/designer for Pegasus, their spoofing alter-ego, The Clones, A, or his latest musical organization, Electro Man, the one constant of his career has been’his ability to transform a night of “local music" at McVan’s into an evening of aural and visual orginality. Such creative energy was indicative of the entire Award night as band after band took the stage, virtually using the same equipment, performing spirited original music; no covers. This is undoubtedly the message Mark Freeland has been trying to deliver to Buffalo audiences all along, and now; finally, a substantial number of area musicians and music personalities have heeded the call. \ ' The winners The Award program not only hosted the original compositions of the bands most often seen at either McVan’s or the Masthead (The Jumpers, the Vores, the Good, George, the Indians, the Erjgmies, Electro Man, the Factor, Perousia) but also gave recognition to area people most important to the advancement to new and original local music: Dak Anderson, Buffalo Evt ■ig News critic, WBFO’s Gary Storm (the master of Oil ot Dog and Buffalo’s only “progressive” disc jockey), (seem Joe magazine critic Fernbacher, and promoters Steve Ralbovsky (ex-Buff State concert promoter), Scott Shiller (SNATE productions) and production company Play It Again, Sam (the newest concert promoters in Buffalo). Ralbovsky and Shiller have been responsible for bringing some of the greatest contemporary acts to this city; Toots and the Maytals, Talking Heads, George Thorogood and the Destroyers, to name but a few. You’ll know better When the Jumpers released their first single last year "(I Wanna Know) What’s Coin’ On" backed with "Yotj’ll Know Better When I’m Gone,” the rock and roll action within this city’s limits was sparse and struggling. The Jumpers, followed by a growing entourage of fans, seemed threatened by the possibility of over-exposure; normally the death of .any local band that allows themselves to be swallowed up by the cover song syndrome. And we all know how bad the syndrome is in”Buffalo. However, the Jumpers continued to gain .support from their fans, keeping their performances to a minimum while preparing the release of their new single “Sick Girls” b/w “This Is It,” expected in early April. The difference is that in a year’s time, three more bands in the area, Aunt Helen, the Vores and the Enemies, have released Gary Storm (toft) and Dala Andaraon meet Did Man Presen tors *t Award Night help support the Music ' by considerably strong singles. Audio-visual interpretations by Electro Man Creator Mark Freeland plays guitar and sings The first Annual Buffalo Music Awards are merely ■ the taking-off point for this city, one that hasn’t experienced the recent volume of independent releases since the days of The Road, Raven and Week-End Trip. The major problem is a lack of coordination- of the said musicians’ creative powers; something that makes the Award night unique. The problemis one of constant retrospection rather than current inspection. Internal support from the city of Buffalo is essential if this current momentum is to continue and increase. Don’t wail now, to later look back and understand the necessity of bands that were almost hits.

First you curse X, then you consider that the move might make X a few bucks and allow them to hold on to their contract. “I guess it was inevitable,” you sigh as you relegate the record to the bottom of your stack. It is true that even the most individualistic artist is forced to make stylistic concessions in order to reach a wider audience. And for the big labels, who are aiming for double platinum with every that new record, reaching audience is what it’s all about. But when the fiscal stakes aren’t so high, a greater freedom for the artist can result. Flying Fish Records, a small independently owned and operated label, seems to understand that for a certain kind of artist, commercialism is fatal to both music and all, After if reputation. authenticity is your strong point, then trendiness could make you extinct. Therefore, Flying Fish makes records which allow mature and creative performers to present their music with the integrity with which it was created. Although all of their records might be grouped under “Folk” in the record store, they release folk-oriented records which range from the very traditional to the experimental. Here then is a sampling of recent releases from Flying Fish: With almost anticipation situations the maui day-to-day chores, the dangers of navigation, and most important! John Hartford In a rivarfeoat acana Indicative of the beauty of his latest release Carlenc Carter) to a bluesy version of Randy Newman’s ‘‘God’s Song” easily the best cut on the album. She growls and-soars like Aretha, moans plaintively like Melanie. She uses a small, tight band, sometimes with horns, but the arrangements are tight and unobtrusive. The record has a few slow moments, but all in all, it's a fine record, and it improves with each listening. It is worth noting that she sings as a woman while the avoiding classic rock angel/whore stereotypes to which so many singers fall prey. Nothing trendy here, just good down-home singing and playing. Jim Post: / Love My Life. The cover of this record shows the singer songwriter standing outdoors under splashiTlg water; he garcs soulfully into our eyes, pectorals bulging. In spite of the Playgirl cover, this is a pretty good record, though not a great one by any means. The nicest surprise is Post's voice a high throaty wail with lots of character. The album is nicely arranged and played, and it has a mellow folk-pop feeling akin to Loggins and Messina. The main weakness is in the lyrics. All but one of the songs are Post’s, and Homemade unfortunately, the words are Tracy Nelson: Songs. Tracy Nelson, once well often cutesy or trite (for my taste, known as singer for the late great anyway).

This is the real thing, friends; accept no substitutes. Here are the men who have played this music all of their lives, crooning those corny lyrics ("I wish that picture putting was and you"), tremendous energy, technical skill and good humor into every song. This ensemble, which includes fiddles (of course), pedal steel, guitars, saxes, trumpet, piano, bass and drums, has the drive of jazz, the polish of big-band swing, and the down-home-on-the-rangc funkiness of good C&W. The album seems to have been &J6T recorded in a studio-live format (no overdubbing), which makes for a nice spontanaeity. No attempts are made to modernize the music or make it “hip" this is a tribute to the integrity of Flying Fish.

The chorus takes a little getting used to it sounds corny at first, but as you listen, you realize the affinity that this arrangement has to Southern church call-and-response singing. This is not a “traditional” record all of the songs are Hartford's. He loves a river and a way of life which survives in spite of our best efforts to eliminate both.

For Guys and Girls If you have heard of Media to be Study/Buffalo (not confused with UB’s Center For Media Study), it has probably been in connection with one of their film series at the Historical Society, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, or at Daemon- College. But this is only a more visible fijeet of their many cultural services. Media Study/Buffalo is a non-profit service foundation by funded the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts. Unique to the area, it provides a broad range of accommodations for the media artist and for the ordinary person enjoys film, video, who photography, or recorded music.

But all this equipment is available for the public’s use at very low rental fees representing only the cost of repair and maintenance. In addition to equipment, various studio facilities can also be rented. At their headquarters, a converted hotel, Media Study editing darkrooms, provides studios for both film, and video tape, and a fully outfitted sound studio. Western New York’s largest sound stage complete with quart* overhead lights, scaffolding, and a beautiful hardwood floor can be had for only $6.00 per half day. The sound stage is truly cavernous, presenting an abrupt and startling change from the close quarters of the bright white hallways. Yet for the all its capaciousness, scrupuious padding of the walls and ceiling quiet every sound. Such studio facilities and equipment are an enormous boon to an a r tist working in a field that is often prohibitively expensive. Education and exhibition Of cpur_se, none of this may interest you if you’ve had little or this no with experience equipment and these facilities. But Media Study is more than a publicly funded rental agency. It provides a variety of educational programs including "hands on” training of all their equipment and workshops in the theory behind the media. Director David Shapiro feels this to be a service important not only to the individual student but to the community as a whole because in art forms where complex technology is central, a lack of such training programs constitutes “a form of creative disenfranchisement. For those of you who simply enjoy watching a’good film or video Media production, Study/Buffato exhibits many worthwhile film and video works. Now in progress is a film scries featuring recent examples of French cinema and another which rarely-seen unusual, screens American films of the 30’s and 40’s.

The Frontier’s producer, Ly/m Corcoran, plans to stress works “which arise from regional concerns and reflect regional culture.” ” Regional accent The impression one receives on visiting Media Study/Buffalo is one of- hopeful optimism rooted in very practical projects. The center is an example of a new trend in public arts programs.

Obviously, Roots // will not have the same impact on television its 8 predecessor did, since the mini-series has already arrived.

There is an amazing continuity between Roots / and //, not just in content but in style and tone as well. So seamless is their conjunction that I may speak of the two productions as one. Roots II has the same credits and debits as Roots /. Undoubtedly, one of the reasons for Roots' phenomenal success is its relative superiority to the average TV program. Roots features fine acting, a competent and coherent script, and better than usual production. ABC did not skimp on the budget: $6 million was spent on Roots / and three times that amount on Roots //, And it shows. The cast includes some of the best black actors and actresses working on television. Roots It sports Henry Fonda, Harry Morgan, james Earl Jones, and, in his television acting debut, Marlon Brando. But even if Roots used only unknowns it would-still be a welcome relief from the usual prime-time drudgery. Roots is one of the few dramatic programs on TV to focus on blacks who are usually limited to comic roles. I urthermore, Roots breaks tradition with TV’s “serious" approach to. blacks. Instead of viewing the black population as an issue to be dealt with and instead of concentrating exclusively on the lives of famous blacks, Roots gives airtime to the lives of rather ordinary black people in a fictional format, recognizing that ordinary black people can be the subject of interesting and entertaining drama. tries—^ _ A killing frost ' . . . - Altman's 'Quintet' I' any meaning •- > > // Teaf Pnffecrrs Roots' Is filled with quiet, personal moments which make us feel mildly for the characters Involved. However, this is also where Roots fails. Roots is fraught with social It alleges to provide a cross-section of black history, a history pungent with the smell of sweat and the indignity of chains and shackles. The treatment of blacks in America has been shameful and yet, Roots does not inspire shame. The closest it comes is in the sequence in which young Kunta Kinte is captured by slavers. Though his African village is suspiciously idyllic (as if notions of a paradise lost arc needed to make slavery seem wrong), Kunta Kinte's final cornering and fettering is a magnificent moment vividly portraying the strength and fragility of human freedom. Otherwise, Roots is. above all merely entertainment. Though better than usual. Roots suffers from TV's even hand stamping out the unique irregularities that mark the work of an artist. pretensions. by Robert Basil A few minutes before the lights dimmed at the Thruway Mall Cinema last Sunday for a screening of Robert Altman's newest film Quintet, I scribbled down, as per usual, some "preconceived notions" on the top of my note pad to record my meptal state as I watched the film. I wrote, ‘This film syill be very dull, very cold, very pretentious with an absurd, albeit pessimistic finale. From what I know about Altman, his handle on characters is. woefully tenuous favoring instead his *artsy images of society." Even if you read no further, the above lines would sufficiently express my reaction to one of the most self-indulgent, esoteric, slumber-inducing films Robert Altman has ever made. Where has the poignancy and satire of Brewster McCloud, the subtlety of McCabe and Mrs. Miller, the hilarity of M*A*S*H gone? to the heavily-edited commercialism of TV which presents only meagre remains of Altman’s genius, success and curious innovation. One could conjecture that this is the film Altman always dreamed of making, since seems like he was one of those mushy-minded and depressed adolescents who like to construct grandiose visions concerning mankind's woeful destiny. While he realized his dream a la celluloid, the spectacle is an impotent nightmare. Wings and hauls Quintet is a myth constructed around incoherent symbols set up freezes of life The story involves these Altman’s inability to paint, let characters, their trip to the alone sketch,, personalities. iced-over remnants of what was They’re more like Romper Room once a fi ve-burroughed stick figures. megalopolis and their very slow, However, I could be doing the very tedious adventures once they director a disservice if I didn’t arrive. This society is destined to mention that he may have become extinct since, for some intended this; his films generally contain malleable personalities molded by their thematic social circumstances, which are usually awkwardly contrived. But Altman has placed his characters in a windswept void and the result of this is that they are consumately dull. Consequently, those who are killed off fail to garner any sympathy, since they are never more than vague cinematic arrangements of colors anyway. While Altman succeeds in consistently meshing his style with the film’s setting, the end result is logically and insufferably NVwman froatbif» viewers' senses Altman cinematically skids to zero unexplained reason, women can no longer bear children. The sole activity these grungy souls who dress like Buffalo street people in the winter ehgage in is a game roughly combining bridge and craps, and called Quintet. While wany citizens play the toned-down Parker Brothers version, the true competitors voraciously involve themselves with the advanced level where everybody but the winner gets murdered. And most of the film either contains scenes in which the principals scout and butcher one another or interminably drone on about how cold and depressed they are since NFG turned off the gas. - - in a Hollywood backlot, In the film’s beginning, a goose is seen winging across the sky. Paul Newman's female companion, Brigette Fose, shouts, “A goose.” He responds, “Haven’t seen one of tfoots IS filfcd with quiet, personal moments those in a while. Going North, which make us feel eh? Then, she says, “Because mildly for the characters involved but the wider issues of racism and you’ve the black struggle for equality and integration been hunting seals where escape the narrow focu« of the mini-series.

Not content with neglecting to define the characters or explain the setting, Allman ends his ill-fated flick with a relentless barrage of pseudo-profound, third-grade existentialist platitudes about the (choke!) true meaning of life. A sniffly guru reminds the ever-depressed Newman that death is what makes life worth living. Newman, sorrily, is ''not free from such pontifications, noting that “memory is the only thing you can trust.” The only partially redeeming aspect the film offers is Bibi Anderson, an actress who has performed magically under Igniar Bergman’s direction. Not coincidentally, this moment of magic arrives when Altman allows her to convey the barest semblance of warmth and humanity. After an affectionate night with Newman, Anderson is cast in melony shadows and smiles and musses her hair. This merest connection with what we know as the “good life" is immediately truncated by a rush of cinematic whites and blues while Anderson’s inner warmth vanishes inexplicably. I guess the "point" of the movie is this: like the Quintet players and Altman would expand this to the rest of humanity everybody gets it in the end. However, in this case, it’s the viewers who get it all the way through this atrocious film. — �1 C?IES The Warriors' Mindless mayhem demagogue, warlord of the City’s largest and most powerful gang, The Gramercy Riffs.

The film purports to portray "the tribal feeling of going into battle together, of loyalty, of support, of shared goals. By casting virtual unknowns, the producer Lawrence Gordon and director Walter Hill (The End and Hooper) hoped to accentuate this feeling of unity and common purpose. The Warriors' tenuous plot unfolds with a spectacular South Bronx conclave of New York City gang leaders, called by Cyrus, the An all points alert goes out for the capture of ..the fugitive Warriors by every gang in the city. the thereupon begins And Warriors’ perilous subway trek back to their Coney Island turf, where presumably they will be safe. Although split up and suffering several casualties (one gang member is sliced up by a charging train after being thrown on the tracks by a cop), the Warriors proceed to kick ass on every gang they encounter, including a bizarre group of bat wielding, baseball uniform clad clowns called the Baseball Furies who might easily have come out of an Anthony Burgess novel, a fearsome band , of vicious skinheads, and a group of hooligans on roller skates. Under the leadership of the taciturn Swan (Michael Beck), the racially mixed Warriors make it back to Coney Island only to fight it out with the diabolical Punks. As the battle with the Punks is about to ensue on the filthy sand of Brooklyn’s Brighton Beach, the enraged Gramercy Riffs arrive on the scene and decimate the Punks, discovered to be the real culprits responsible for Cyrus's assassination. Exonerated, the haggard surviving Warriors amble off into the sunset. Although the essential plot idea has po t ential, i ts development is glaringly thin. None of the characters are developed beyond cardboard stereotypes and much of the dialogue is trite to the point of absurdity. Whenever a character's courage falters, we hear one of his comrades hurling out a peculiar vituperation, "Whatsa matta, you goin faggit?” new wave of gang violence in some American cities. The Warriors is selling out in New York As far as social commentary goes, The Warriors is devoid of any message. The closest it ever comes is one scene where the gang members sit exhausted on an IRT train and are confronted by a felicitous pair of well dressed white couples who are subjected to cold stares. Ah the constrast! Privilege and wealth vs. squalor and destitution. Another scene (although probably more comical than anything else) has The Warriors finally making it back to Coney Island' and Swan, after scanning the ugliness of his home turf, mutters indignantly, "We fought all night just to get back to this.” Yes, the film has some real holes in it. And except for the female D.J, whose quavering lips track the Warriprs night long progress (played by Lynn Thigpen), the badass demeanor of the Gramercy Riffs’ war minister (Edward Sewer) qnd the belligerence of the Punks’ head (Craig Baxley), the acting is pretty mediocre. But want a lot of action and a good panorama of New York, both above and below street level, see The Warriors. But be sure to wear your leather. Real holes Viewing the movie, I chose to ignore most of these faults in order to revel in the non-stop action. The fight scenes were doubtlessly some of the best celluloid brawls I’ve ever seen.

The world-famous mime performed selections from a large repertoire of style and “Bip” pantomimes. The style pantomimes included "The Amusement Park," 'The Maskmaker,” "The Seven Deadly Sins,” "The Angel," and “Youth, Maturity, Old Age, and Death.” These were artistic, thought-provoking pieces that amazed and delighted all. Bip, Marceau’s alter-ego, is a clown with a painted face, striped shirt, and a battered tophat decorated by a flower. Marceau showed his insight and talent for humor in "Bip as a China Salesman," "Bip Dreams He is Don Juan,” "Bip as a Skater,” and especially “Bip Plays David and Goliath." Marceau made two hours seem like a moment with his talent of expressing his perceptive and humorous view of the human condition, and all without words. This magical genius of mime is on a three-month tour of North America. He is world-renowned as a teacher, creator, director, and performer of mime, and has worked on stage, in films and television, and has three books to his credit. they’re probably not serious; more serious, anyway. With Sting, as with than episodic the Temptations, Otis Redding, Little Stevie Wonder, Eugene Record, The Beatles, the episodic dream is ephemeral, a sidestep to everyday drudgery like the depression of the blues, the flightiness of disco. (Still, the moment’s nearly preserved on vinyl.) Sting doesn’t mess with love unless it’s longlasting; and even then, there’s the fear of rejection through warning, urging the listeners not to get tangled in love. More comfortable with calling close folks friends, as in "Best Friend," Sting is not only playing the safe game by dubbing the short lived, “short-lived;” it’s appealing at a mass level. The energetic, Reddingish vocals are made potentially frivolous with cute backing vocals singing “be-do, be-do” to every serious word. See, for young people the stagnant is boring; this is eternal. And overly-suslained energy can be banal. But Sting tells it the proper way, without pretense, something the poppy Spinners could rarely accomplish because of concern with the . . mellow and mellifluous in life. Well, Harold Goldberg I’ve been aching to write about a soul/disco record called Pleasure (ABC Records), the work of a group named Sting. They’re a little preach, a little emotion, a little humor. As far as I'm concerned, Sting’s Pleasure was as noteworthy an event as last year’s Al Green record and Funkadelic’s One Nation Under a Groove. ’Cept Sting "didn’t move, probably because they’re on the ABC label, a company which has had trouble promoting Steely Dan. It’s because of ABC’s indiscretion that none of the band’s individual names appear on the record. Either that or Pleasure's a producer’s record like those of disco geniuses Cerrone or Patrick Adams. Vup, just as young, ignorant leftists blame Rockefeller for controlling everything, the producer is credited for the whole record because the music is incidental tothe production work. Pleasure is the purest dream record tempered by philosophy (a wet dream in itself) that I’ve heard in quite a while. “Without Love (It Don't Mean A Thing)” combines sexuality with asexuality and soul/disco in a way that’s both thinking and self-serving. Sex without love is disdained as uninspiring, but the act’s done anyway for want of anything else. The idea is not so much to preach pleasure of the flesh as to tell of boredom’s pain; this isn’t outrightly admitted. As on "Do It In The Shower” the synthesizer here always seems tp be smirking funk as if to laugh at diversity in the human condition. Aside from some metaphoric sentimentality, I’m trying to say that you’ve got to wonder how serious any of the lyrics are. . The lead vocalist (male) is somewhere between Bill Withers (less mournful, though) and Eugene Record (not as smooth). The lead vocalist (female) is like a hyped-up young Martha Reeves or Diana Ross, though her voice is somewhat grating. She shouts like Olive Oyl did in that famous "Dancing Shoes” Popeye cartoon or like Scarlet O’Hara in Gone With The Wind (the movie). A few songs are intentionally disco, noticeably imitative. Still, Sting has a funk like lat& ’60’s stuff which means there’s a heart ’neath it all for all us mickey-fickey scarecrows. Even the asexuals can’t hide it sometimes. Jesse Colin Young, American Dreams (Eleklra/ Asylum) Jesse Colin Young’s American Dreams is an album that tries to make a real statement about our lives. The statement itself is a valid one, but its medium won’t make much of an impact on anybody hence, said statement is soon forgotten. Only Young’s fans will ever hear it. This is largely due to the fact that all the listenable music is on side $ne of the album, and side two with the heavier "American Dreams Suite” is lyrically worthwhile but largely melodically uninspired. DJ’s, .) even at the "progressive” {chuckle, chuckle, sigh stations, will probably only play side one. If you were given this album, you’d probably only play side one. So much for meaningful messages, Jesse. The first side contains simple songs of love. One, "Maui Sunrise,” is an ode to an island, not a woman, but the feeling is the same. Highlights are the 1957 "Rave On" and Steve Cropper & Eddie Floyd’s "Knock on Wood” (sounding a lot different the way JCY does it). He also incorporates a laid-back disco beat in “Slow and Easy,” in an effort to keep up with the times that works pretty well for him. "American Dreams Suite," side two, is held together by a common theme a love for this country, mixed with a great fear for its future. The segments all blend together, with repetition of catch phrases that borders on redundancy. The beats and melodies often change very little from segment to segment, so that one has to sit with the lyric sheet to tell when he’s moving to a new idea. There are, however, worthwhile domments to be made here. “City Boy” describes the standard love/hate affair with a big city, something that Cashman and West’s “American City Suite" did with a bit more flair. “Music in the Streets” is a tribute to the spirit of the ’60s, and who better to do that than Young, for what if’s worth. The next segment.pays homage to the heroes of that time Bobby and Martin and John asking the musical question, "Can we Carry on the Dream?’ about fifty times, — — — .. and urging us all to do so. "Sanctuary” is especially bleak: "I see nuclear disaster/and it’s coming in my time/There is poison in the ocean/there is death upon the sea/for the hunter and the hunted/there .” This prospect makes will be no sanctuary Young “get scared and want to run away;” suicide is presumably in order, since escaping from America wouldn’t lessen the effects of a dead ocean or a nuclear war, should it occur. The finale of the “suite” is a plea, to all who are afraid, to "stay and run the country.” .. — There are important messages galore, but messages just aren’t enough in a musical forum. Young uses lots of strings, a horn section, and a twelve-person chorus on backup vocals to make side two more memorable and urgent-sounding, but it rarely works. A sentiment doesn’t need to be repeated to death for it to mean something. American Dreams was an attempt, at least, and it’s too bad it wasn’t a successful one. Had it been, the result would have been monumental. —Pat Carrington — - Media Study traditional artistic pantheon, but an involvement with the cultural life of the community for the purpose of development of new talent and the development of public interest in that talent. Media Study is involved in every facet of the community aspect of the personal acts ef creation and appreciation. Artists are given the tools they need and given a chance at the necessary funding important in the recording arts; aspiring artists are provided with the training they need; exhibitions —continued from page 11— . . . give the artist opportunities to share his work and the art-lover opportunities to enjoy them; and for those who want to understand the media arts better, the proper tutelage is supplied. From raw talent to working artist to artwork to public appreciation, Media Study is there. The local flavor of Media Study is also symptomatic of new trends. One can go to any major art gallery, symphony hall, or movie house and get little or no sensation of the city in which the institution is located. But at Media Study, the accent is on the immediate region. There is a wide and voluable dialogue with Western New York. This is of great value when one considers that all great artists have started in some locale. Who is to say that Buffalo can’t be the birthplace of great talent? Organizations like Media Study/Buffalo are making sure that those who have the talent receive the opportunities they deserve. �Herbert: stuck in time Yes. Dune is a classic and stands as a seiminal work of science fiction; a beautifully woven fabric of philosophy, setting and intrigue that still contributes to the general and academic acceptance of science fiction. Yes, Dune won the Nebula and tied for the Hugo. But Dune was 14 years ago, and neither of the two sequels earned lasting notice. Nor has any other book by Herbert. On the front cover of his latest work, The Dosadi Experiment (Berkley Paperbacks, $2.25), is printed a gentle reminder of Dune’s success. Indeed, JkitMJlecaii the cause of the crisis which prompted the Gowachin plotters to draw him in: the Dosadi have grown tough and clever, arriving at the realization that they are imprisoned. Constant struggle has served to make them superhuman, and one warlord plans escape and ultimately, revenge on the Gowachin 1 he most interesting development of The Dosadi Experiment is Herbert’s Gowachin law. justice is decided in the Courtarena, where Legums, prosecutors, M agisters defendants witnesses, all risk life itself in whatever dispute comes before the bar." Unfluctuating law inevitably protects the rich and powerful, as is well-proven today. Gowachin law tests the qualities of all who choose to employ it. Unfortunately, Herbert only pokes at this, leaving the bulk of the novel toother He discovers ; matters. Herbert top 'Dune'? Highly unlikely. Avoiding comparison, it is Useful to keep in mind that Herbert is no novice. Herbert’s writing here has a distinctive flavor reminiscent of the paper on which it is printed. He tends to chop up conversation with prolonged thoughts between each statement, making dialogue difficult to follow. He seems to have a fear of confrontation; by constantly injecting his omniscient view, he denies life to his characters. In 343 pages, he doesn’t allow his characters the vivid lives they preventing their emotions and reader demand interest from building. He tends to use italics, exclamation marks, and one-sentence paragraphs to interject false liveliness and tension into essentially flat, dead prose. The book lacks imagery, dragging along one-dimensionally by its plot and ignoring many intriguing possibilities. The Dosadi Experiment is an interesting, well-plotted book weighed down by plodding prose, wasted words, distant characters and incomplete concepts. Herbert takes us from beginning to end and accomplishes nothing. John Leonard of The New York Times wrote that Herbert “is back to confound us again.” Sadly, it is with a disturbing failure. The science fiction community has largely passed The Dosadi Experiment by, immune to blurbs, attempting to sell one book on the strength of another. The casual science fiction reader is advised to follow suit. Mark Cotta ®UabT“1 COFFEEHOUSE CALENDAR FREE EVERY FRIDAY IN THE RATHSKELLAR FROM 8:30 11:30 pm UUAB WILL SPONSOR AN OPEN MIKE! - Sat.

It-was found that SUNY has invested over $7 million (market value) in U.S. corporations that are involved in South Africa. Nearly 20% of total U.S. Foreign investments are in S. Africa. Why do investments there yield such high returns? U.S. corporations pay black workers starvation wages. The average income of a black African family is $84 per month, while the official South African government Poverty Datum Line estimates that $148 is necessary for what they consider bare necessities. Meanwhile, banks such as Chase Manhattan (Marine Midland), Citibank, Morgan Guaranty Trust and Manufacturers Hanover are active in providing huge loans to the S. African regime. These loans are n|le. especially useful in maintaining white minority against is used hardware which military They buy the black majority and help to-cover the trade deficit S. Africa faces. Here at UB we play an indirect but significant role in thte system of apartheid. All the SUNV POOL schools participate in what is known as the monies are ENDOWMFiNT FUND. These intendedis for investment, 80% of which is from UB and collected from, among other things, our tuition. The pool endowment is handled by the MARINI MIDLAND BANK. Acting as stockbroker, the bank ot invests in a host of leading U.S. companies, scores which have tarnished reputations in Southern Africa, to say the least. Caltrex and Mobil for two examples purpose, however repressive. When observing such atrocities as the S. African government’s brutal answer tdf the Soweto uprising or the murder of Steven Biko, it is insufficient to merely condemn that regime as repressive. It is the American investment and corporate presence there that provides the supporting pillar for S. Africa’s apartheid regime. Like scores of other American universities that in S. Africa. SUNY’s stockholdings help maintain white minority there. These past few years thousands of students have been involved in protesting their campus investments in S. Africa. Already, the University of Massachusetts, University of Wisconsin, Yale and Columbia have succeeded in pressuring their Board of Trustees into divesting. Divestment doesn’t mean losing money for SUNY. Those stocks cao be sold or reinvested in other corporations (which don’t support South Africa). It is possible to switch to a bank which doesn’t make loans to South Africa. Here at UB an Apartheid Study Group-has recently been formed.

To perform the lune-up, you’ll need a point set, rotor and condenser (these distribute the spark) and spark plugs. Although some common Ford'and GM cars-tlUVe tune-up kits that can be bought at discount stores, most cars never seem to take the ones available. These kits have all the above mentioned parts (except plugs) and usually cost somewhat higher than purchasing them separately at the parts store. The basic tools needed are; a spark plug wrench, screw driver, feeler gauges and a spark plug gapper tool. (And you thought this was going to be some sort of complicated ritual!) The above are available at most auto stores for very reasonable prices. You may wish to have a small pair of pliers handy for little pieces that will inevitably drop. If you can manage, three hands are very helpful later on, but after some practice, two will suffice. To set up the job, get all of the above mentioned parts in front of you. These should be the tools, spark, plugs, manual and point/condenser/rotor set. Now you’re ready to go.

Successive eclipses I Love Canal program to benefit homeowners sun A solar eclipse is total when the moon is relatively near the earth and its umbra (area of complete shadow) reaches the earth’s surface, completely blocking out the sun in that area. Where the lighter, outer portion of the shadow, the penumbra, crosses the earth’s surface, the eclipse is seen as partial. In an annular eclipse, when the moon is farther away but still directly lined up between the earth and the sun, the umbra does not reach the earth and the moon appears silhouetted in a ring o? sunlight. Unfortunately, Buffalo will only see Monday’s eclipse in its partial phase along with the rest of North America, the Atlantic Ocean, Iceland and parts of Western Hurope, The total phase will be visible only inside a narrow path less than 200 miles wide across the Northwestern U.S., Southern Canada, Hudson Bay and up into Greenland, ■& Celestial clockwork Locally, the eclipse will .begin at 10:52 a m. and ■gradually obscure more and more of the sun until 12:09 when the eclipse will reach its maximum and darken 72 percent of the sun.

St. Lawrence University became the first team since 1973 to unseat the Bulls as team champions, scoring 107 points to UB’s 73*/2. Colgate and Brockport State also finished higher than the defending champions with team scores of 97 and-Sl'/i points, respectively. All three Buffalo wrestlers in the final round met opponents from St. Lawrence, and two were victorious. Tom Jacoutot defeated John McHugh, a Sweet Home graduate, 15-1. Paul Curka had a tougher time than expected before besting Wes Audsley 9-3. Td Tyrell was beaten in his final boul by Barry Barone 5-1. Other place winners for the Bulls were Tony Oliveri (third), John Hughes (sixth), and Butch Bottone (fifth). Of the three, Hughes ran into the hardest luck. He suffered a serious knee injury as he Won his quarter-final bout, and he had to forfeit his remaining matches. He is recovering from surgery performed this week. When asked about the tournament, UB coach Ed Michael expressed disappointment. “! felt that we could win," he said, “and our team wrestled well as a group.” He pointed out that the injury to Hughes was critical. “He could have placed first or second if it weren’t for the knee giving out on him.” The coach felt having Hughes for the final would have given the rest of the team a lift. Michael also jumbled his line-up for the tourney, giving Jim Griffin a shot at 150-pounds and having Tom Egan, Scott Slade, and Butch Bottone wrestle one weight class up. Griffin is a natural middleweight, but he had been forced to fill in at 177 pounds to find a spot on the team. As a result, he had been overmatched by stronger, more experienced heavyweights. Unfortunately, this strategy did not work out to UB’s advantage because only Bottone went home with a trophy. Coming up for the Bulls is the season’s final dual meet against State University Conference (SUNYAC) champion Cortland State. Saturday afternoon, 2 p.m. at Clark Hall. Look for the Dragons to bring a representative, but not especially outstanding team. They have qualified ail nine of their regulars for the NCAA Division III Championships next weekend, and coach Vince Gonino plans to rest a few of his stars, such as two-time NCAA champ, 158-pounder Kick Armstrong. A UB victory should provide a shining light in what has been an otherwise disappointing season. -Kieran Lyons Jk U/B SPORTLITE -z> UBr CONGRATULATIONS Tp Royals Bowling Team and Sue Fulton, Champions in ACUI Regional at Ithaca.

Hockey Bulls Two wins clinch playoff berth by Carlos Vallarino playoffs.” His teammate's shared the same Assistant Sports Editor The hockey successive victories Bulls’ in two as many nights over ihe past weekend served different purposes. To be sure, they virtually clinched an ECAC Division II playoff berth, but less obviously, and maybe as importantly, 4et he games spotlighted UB’s strength on the ice. Certainly Keith Sawyer has proved to be the spark in Buffalo’s latest turn around sa three-game winning streak after dropping three in a row scoring Six goals against Potsdam and Brockport in the two home wins. His four-go*! performance Friday night, the first Texas hat trick by a UB player this season, coupled with captain Ed Patterson’s three tallies, paved the way for the Bulls’ 9-2 drubbing of the Potsdam Bears. On the following evening, a rejuvenated power play (five goals) as well as a pair of scores by both Sawyer and Tom Wilde were the key factors in - - .Buffalo’s 8-2 wipe out of Brockport’s Golden Eagles. “We really needed the two games,” revealed UB defenseman Rich Mac Lean, “to get the momentum going into 'the feeling, and provided insights of their own. ‘‘It was a fun time, admitted Patterson after pumping in three scores. “They didn’t throw too much offense at us, and we scored a bunch of goals.” ” Momentum “We’re picking up steam going into the playoffs,” said Sawyer, whose “green line” (with the help of Tim Igo and Don Osborn) has emerged as a powerful force in the Bulls’ recovery. “Everybody’s playing well, and 1 know the ‘green line’ can keep it going.” Even UB coach Ed Wright was gratified at the sight of meaningful victories. “Both were big games for us, understated the levelheaded . coach. “They ” were important, even though they weren’t against powerhouses. We played well and got solid goaltending.” Indeed, although evei so subtly and unjustly hidden by the lopsided scores, the magnificent goaltending of Bill Kaminska machine that is otherwise dubbed the “red line", made up of 28-goal scorer Wilde, Patterson and Brien G row Together they have contributed more to the IIB offense than any other trio, sometimes takipg sole credit for some of the team’s triumphs during the long season. Lately, though, they have had to share in the glory with names such as Sawyer, Igo and Osborn, the “green line” components who have suddenly alive. their cohesiveness. “Our line’s working together now, the way we know we can,” contributed Sawyer, Buffalo’s latest 20-goal scorer. Last home game Other revitalized that have factors the Bulls are the pride. improvement oh defense and the renewed aggressiveness of the power play killing unit. The name that stands out in both areas is Rich MacLean, the defenseman Igo calls “the greatest playmaker I The one consistent source of satisfaction has been the scoring aptitude for physical play, along with a blistering shot anchored Buffalo’s solid defensive effort. It is one of several areas which the Bulls can point to with know.” His that is on goal more often than not, make him a very valuable player, even if he has a streak of selfishness occasionally Wendy’s presents come “They’ve been together fora year now,” said Wright, although explaining that injuries, particularly Osborn’s two month absence, had temporarily wrecked in him that detracts from his overall abilities. It is not to be understood, however, that UB will end its home season tonight (versus Ontario’s Royal Military College at 7:30 p.m.) worry free and looking forward to a national title. The team lacks the ingredient that makes champions /^N OLD FASHIONED out of winners, consistency. Throughout the season, the power play, the checking game, the defense have at one time or another been the cause of Wright’s frustration over losing.

On a determined effort to the hoop, thg 6'6" Junior went flying over Purple Eagle forward Skip Speaks’ head while keeping his eye on his spinning shot. The basket was good, Bouie drew the foul and the Bulls opened up a three point lead. Though such efforts were individually dramatic, the Buffalo cagers’ total effort went from excellent to pppor in the space of five minutes. After staying with Niagara for an entire half, the first five minutes of the second half spelled disaster. The Bulls eventually lost the duel, 93-59. ’The Spectrum’ photo editor Dennis R. Floss captured this spill with a 15mm fish eye lens. Hoopsters play bounces up, down; lose to Plattsburgh * by David Davidson Sports Editor For the basketball Bulls, it’s been a week of ups and downs, with the downs coming out ahead.of the ups. Everything was looking up for 30 minutes Saturday evening when the UB cagers hung tough with SUNY Conference leaders, Plattsburgh State. Despite some blistering shooting by the Cardinals Kevin Baldwin, the Bulls maintained a half-time lead of 24-22. Baldwin, who lopped all scorers with 18 points, ended the first half with 14 of the Cardinal's tallies. Buffalo continued to stay in the game thanks to gutsy play by guard Mark Sacha and forward Mike Freeman. Freeman took the scoring honors for the Bulls with 11 points, the majority of which came off the boards due to his ability to capitalize on a short Plattsburgh front line. So much for the ups in the Plattsburgh contest. UB’s hopes for the SUNY_AC championship dropped simultaneously with their caliber of play. Though the Cardinals kept up whatever consistency they had in the first half, Buffalo lapsed into a coma, failing to muster up even one point for over 10 minutes. Combining sloppy play with pitiful shooting, the Buffalo five eventually lost by ten, it wasn’t even that close. Buck for Niagara It took the Bulls only 20 seconds to rebound from their lackluster performance Saturday night, when they hit their first shot amidst the glitter of the Niagara Falk Convention Center. Matched up with host Niagara University on Monday, the Bulls pul 20 minutes of fear into Purple Eagle coach Dan Raskins’ stomach. “If we had lost this one. I’d have to go to Canada to get a sandwich,” joked the 36 year-old native of Roslyn, New York. Thanks to some clutch shooting by guard Don Drum, Raskin was saved from the embarassment he’d suffer losing to a 5-16 Division 111 squad. The Bulls made it clear they were not sitting ducks for the struggling Niagara cagers. With Tony Smith snapping out of~a shooting slump, Buffalo matched the Purple Eagles point for point during the entire first half. In fact, UB led right up until the intermission, much to the surprise of the 1300 fans fast asleep in the Convention Center, the Niagara players, and obviously the Buffalo players. Kick-ball With 14 first-half points. Smith paced the Bulls to a 60 percent shooting mark, far better than Niagara’s 42 percent. George Mendenhall helped the Buffalo cause, snapping off six assists to go along with three buckets. Meanwhile, Niagara superstar Garry Jordan was time and again frustrated by UB’s Nate Bouie. Although Bouie wasn’t able To explode on offense, he constantly threatened the 6’6” Jordan on defense. Late in the opening stanza. managed to open at least one a vicious stuff of the Purple Fagles’ Bouie spectator’s eye with leading scorer. Bouie’s one real exploit on offense stirred some seals late in the half when he spun to the basket and went flying over the shoulders of Niagara forward Skip Speaks. Speaks was charged with a blocking foul while Bouie returned to earth after a brief orbit over the back-board. Rooties Pump Room Clinging to a three-point advantage, Niagara came out for the final 20 minutes with a slightly more potent performance. Buffalo hung in for maybe two minutes, but the final 18 all belonged to Drum, Speak and Jordan. The only highlight the Bulls provided was to wake up the crowd, many of whom left extremely early to beat the traffic snarl. Following a pushing foul, Bouie decided to take out a few frustrations on the ball instead of handing it to the official. With a precise imitation of Garo Yepremian, Bouie sent the pumpkin sailing at least 40 yards, where it crashed into the back wall of the building. The act was naturally worthy of a technical foul, but if football coach Bill Dando had witnessed it, the UB football team might have the best kicking game in the east. Outscored 55-24 in the half, the downs eventually resulted in a 93-59 loss Playing primarily a Division I and II schedule, it was one of the few disastrous efforts for UB. “That’s only the second time we’ve been beaten by more than 20 points this year,” noted Buffalo’s first-year coach Bill Hughes. “They exploited our guard play which is our ■ weakest aspect,” he added. In an effort to beef up the guards for next season, Hughe:, benched regular Tony Boston for both games, giving freshman Kevin McMillian a valuable lesson in the role of the point-guard. The 5*9” youngster saw his first extensive action against a classy Division I school, but it diun’t appear to 1'aze him. Instead of wilting, McMillian tried driving to the hoop, succeeding three times even though he was turned away more than once. Fven as he made mistakes (he turned the ball over six times in 20 minutes), the fifture prospect provided a rare glimmer of hope in what can be defined as an up and down campaign.

Hassett, a wealthy Buffalo businessman and a member of the SUNY Board of Trustees since !97h is also a member of the Canisius College Board of Trustees and helped raised over $5 million for the privately-supported school during its 1969 fund-raising campaign. The SUNY Trustees the policy making body of the State University system has ultimate authority over all system-wide decisions including the power to set tuition level?. The Board, comprised of 15 voting members non-voting and one student — - representative, is appointed by Governor live , Chairman of the SUNY Board of Trustees Donald Blinken told The Spectrum that there are no specific guidelines for appointing members to the Board. Board members, he said, are chosen solely on their commitment to higher education. The Trustees have been shoved into the SUNY spotlight recently with the announcement that tuition at system’s 64 the campuses ■ may rise next year. Student leaders and several SUNY Presidents (including UB President Robert L. Ketter) have called the proposed hike another example of the state’s education education. enrollment of public slighting in favor of drop in the SUNY system Thus, this year more than ever, proponents of public education in New York State see the private schools as direct competition, Henrik Dullea, Governor Hugh L. Carey’s top education advisor, saw no difficulty in a SUNY Trustee serving on a private board. Dullea cited the case of Patricia Carry Stuart who serves as Vice Chairman of the City University of New York (CUNY) Board of Trustees and holds a similiar post at the largely independent Cornell private Direct competition Ketter even went so far as to call the tuition hike a “hidden subsidy” for private colleges and has been only one of several vocal critics to note that New York spends far more on its itrivate schools than any state in the union. Ketter strongly urged the Trustees last month to not hike tuition, lest they affect an continued on page 26— Public, private schools vying for State money by Kathleen McDonough Campus Editor Spurred by declining enrollments and constricting budgets, independent and public colleges have been fighting for state support. Various sources, including UB President Robert L. Ketter, have accused the private sector of benefiting at the expense of the public. In a 1978 report on the financing of higher education, Virginia W. Ziebarth of UB’s Office of Urban Affairs cited sentiment as a factor to budgetary decisions. “Sentimental factors sway decisions that favor private institutions more than most observers realize,” stated the report. It noted that a considerable majority of officials graduated from private institutions, establishing emotional ties which favor private schools in the scramble for funds. UB Director of Public Affairs James DiSantis agreed with the report, noting that SUNY began in 1948 with primarily State teachers colleges, and didn’t flourish until 1962, the year Buffalo and others bacame part of the system. But private institutions, he said, are long term residents of New York, unlike in California, where the positions are reversed. In fact, DeSantis said, “The size of SUNY was indirectly determined by private schools.” When SUNY was planning for expansion in the early 1960’s, he explained, independent schools were asked how many students they could handled based on projected colkge. popuIjtionsjhrough 1990. The-difference was to be covered by contributing SUNY expansion President of the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities (C1CU) Henry Paley said, “No institution in the world has expanded as much as SUNY since 1962.” Paley said that independent schools, which are represented by the CICU, do not begrudge public schools money, but would like inflationary increases for themselves.

Bunn and Vice President for Health Sciences F. Carter Pannill to -resolve the continuing dispute over the role of the Undergraduate Dean has drawn blistering criticism from Student Association President Karl Schwartz. Bunn and Pannill’s latest Academic or Associate deans will have among its duties: review undergraduate curriculum; approve degree programs; add, change or delete undergraduate courses; review new undergraduate programs; monitor advisement and admissions policies, and advise on teaching effectiveness. Intense opposition The Council idea comes three months after Bunn and Pannill to decide how undergraduate programs in Health ignited a campus-wide debate on Sciences will be administered calls for a new “Council on Undergraduate Education” to “review and recommend” policy. It proposes an “Administrative Officer” to oversee undergraduate programs in Health Sciences. The officer, along with Peradotto, would be a non-voting member of Dean by attempting to shift all responsibility for undergraduate programs in Health Sciences to attempt the Council. The Council made up of six students, six faculty and three - the role of the Undergraduate Pannill. Intense opposition to that plan from both students and the Faculty Senate forced University President Robert L. Ketter to direct Bunn and Pannill to come up with a new proposal. Student leaders and Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Carver Inside: Libraries feel crunch—P. 5 / are expected, to again lead the to the latest proposal, which both groups are likely to see as a splitting of the Division of Undergraduate Education. Such a split would conflict with the Faculty Senate’s original conception of the Dean as a single officer with the sole responsibility of directing undergraduate education on a University-wide opposition Bunn/Pannill level. Completely bogus Schwartz called the Council idea “completely bogus.” “The Council was put there for political to placate the strong reasons .. — opposition to a divided undergraduate division,” he charged.

So far, Food Service Committee will study losses in board contracts by Mark Meltzer Campus h'dttor In an effort to curb Food Service’s alarming loss of board contracts Faculty Student Association (FSA) President Joe Darcy has revitalized a five year old study committee*. The committee is designed to evaluate and help solve Food Service’s trouble areas. Originally formed in March 1974 by a resolution of the FSA Board of Directors, the Standing Food Service Advisory Committee was effectively inactive until a week ago, Darcy said. Part of the for the committee’s dormancy, Darcy said, was a conflict in roles that had Director of Food Service Donald Hosie who charged with also chaired the committee overseeing his own program. Darcy has reorganized the committee to remove that conflict, and added representatives from the faculty, Millard Fillmore College and the commuter segment. Food Service has averaged an approximate 20 percent loss in fall-to-spring retention over the last - — six years. Directed by FSA to prepare a report on the problem, Hosie offered ten reasons that students leave board contract, the most prominent of which appears to be the prospect of a S250 savings. According to Hosie, a student who makes his own meals can save as much as 50 percent of board contract costs. A good start Hosie also noted that parents frequently instruct their children io eat on board contract “to get a good start" academically and socially, and those students may find “a better way” during their initial semestgr. Other causes cited by Hosie were; class and work schedule conflicts, dietary restrictions or a desire to live off campus. Hosie said that his list is “largely judgemental” and that very little student input was solicited in its formulation. Darcy said the Standing Food Service Advisory Committee is awaiting a marketing research study that could provide more concrete information. Two students from UB’s School of Management are preparing that study. in cooperation with invites you to enjoy "PLANT WEEK AT THE RED BARN" Fab. 19, 22, 23, & 24tb 3 5 pm - Demonstrations and answers to your plant’s problems, and get a discount certificate COME & MEET THE PLANT DOCTOR!

The committee also agreed to close the financially troubled Porter Cafeteria in the Ellicott Complex. Although FSA could afford to keep the unit open if it was needed, Darcy said, “It’s gotten to the point where it just doesn’t make sense.” who find service Darcy admitted that somfc faculty at the Student Club intolerably slow may be disturbed hy the closing but he left the door open for reconsideration. The Student Club, envisioned as a snack area originally, has become a major traffic center during mealtimte. Darcy said the move Of various academic departments into Ellicott has caused the congestion, which is intensified by the club’s corridor construction. Movement of a refrigeration unit and a personnel specialization plan have just been instituted to lighten traffic flow Wofkers will now be used only at their best area at the grill for example to speed service. T' Darcy said the drain on FSA money caused by tax payments on a 50 acre plot of land in Amherst may one day hurt Food Service. As FSA’s only remaining profit-making unit -The bookstore is now operated by Follett, Inc. Food Service might be forced to keep the financially ailing Craft Center afloat while paying taxes for the FSA land, Darcy said. Presently, FSA is using funds obtained through the sale of the bookstore as reserve cash to back both the land and'the Craft Center. FSA’s service branch, which includes linen and dry cleaning service, is a break even operation, according to - — - • - — j Darcy. Although FSA is a non profit corporation, Darcy said, its units are not barred from making money. Usually the money is channeled back into the unit. Food Service profits, for example, are returned to that area to improve quality. Tentative plans departments announced they would return to three-credit courses. Next year a student would only average 15 credits per semester even after taking five courses, totaling 120 credts after four years of study. Currently, 1 28 credits are required for gradiation. With this in mind, Peradotto proposed a tentative format for grandfather clauses to his Curricular Committee last week. However, Wednesday Peradotto told The Spectrum that he and his committee arc not yet sure of the exemptions. He explained that seniors may only need 126 credits for graduation, while perhaps juniors and sophomores would be required to have 124. Next year’s freshmen, of course, would not be encompassed by grandfather clauses because they would enter under a totally new system. / Justification Peradotto also said-he is studying the number of courses each department requires in its major, Athough students may still have to take the" same number of courses within a given major, they will be earning less total credits. However, Peradotto maintained, students in a major now and possibly sophomores who havy planned on enrolling in certain programs will not have to take more courses in their major to compensate for the corresponding reductions in credits. Peradotto, who along with his associate, Walter Kunz, proposed delating implementation of the Springer Report a decision that was rejected by University President Robert L. Kelter said there still are some problems., “Frankly,” he said, “1 wish there was more time to examine program changes on a program-by-program basis.” — — — — He noted that departments which have requested certain courses be exempt from the carnegie unit standard are being studied very carefully. However, Peradotto said, because of the hurried tirretable, he is assuming that “academic justification (for altering the credit value of courses) took place at the departmental and faculty level.” A LOOK AT ENGINEERING TODAY — Test for a Lifetime Be Prepared — Course* John Sexton Test Preparation courses offer you distinct ad vantages in preparing for these an •Best, most rseent materials •Counseling Substantive curricula ( not just timings I • Team instruction by a superior faculty •Practice exams •"hive" instruction I not just tapes I •Substantial study materials Extra help sessions tGMAT Classes now forming for March 17, test • • important all week during engineering week Feb. 18 24. — John Seaton's LSAT &GMAT Engineering Library; see the original scale model of the Amherst Campus Science & tests — — Play computer games Rocket Belt - — Compare John Sexton Course advantages with others, then for information call -J good The need for grandfather clauses became evident when many Traffic center GMAT The Plant Place Inc. THE RED BARN At last week’s meeting, the committee agreed not to cater any activity organized by any campus group that owes FSA money. Faculty as well as student groups are included in that decision, Darcy so Peradotto, who is chairing the DUE Curriculum Committee to Springer Implementation, said he is working with a written timetabf and everything is “progressing smoothly.” The Springer Report recommended that UB adopt the Carnegii Unit as a university standard. Since the I960’s, UB has awarded fou credits for three class hours. With the fall changes, either time spent it class must expand or credit hours must drop. Peradotto explained that students currently enrolled in majors will be exempt from next year’s altered requirements through “grandfather clauses.” Although nothing has been finalized, Peradotto predicted that “changes will not involve any student already in a -major.” ft noted that these changes could inokide both alterations in individual degree requirements and prerequisites. — JoJui Qufali test preparation center Bryant & Stratton Bldg. r\r\r\ f\ -7 n r\ 1028 Mam Street yJ C-\J \J I Buffalo, N Y 14002 KxT-ll/nH Flat Plate Solar Collector MUCH MORE Sponsored by Faculty of Engineering & Applied Sciences Student government �Buck-passing doesn't explain University non-involvement fco Editor's Note: This is the second in a two-part series examining the University s role in the Love Canal crisis. 7 ct by Jay Rosen C.ibbs is frustrated. "Frankly,'’ she said, “I’ve given up trying. I called Dr. Ketter a number of times and couldn't get through.” Love Canal Surrounding the former Hooker Chemical Corporation dumpsite is a calmly suburban neighborhood lined with trees and simple, one-family homes. There are no stomach-turning disaster scenes, no windswept desolation or smoking ruins, in fact, nothing to place the Love Canal area out of the ordinary except the hand-painted emblems of the embittered residents cardboard signs like: HOME LOR SALE. BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK These risks faced by the Love Canal homeowners are unseen, vaporous horrors that may hide from detection for years or, in some cases, generations. The fear of these people is a special, bone-chilling fear of the unknown. They are scared of the polysyllabic labels science has given to industry's poisons; they are safed of the statistics showing unusually high levels of birth defects and other diseases; and they are scared of the near total financial loss their homes now represent. But they fear their ignorance most; their helpless state of not knowing how dangerous their environment is and moreover their utter reliance on the State Health Department’s research, research they do not trust. - - Achieving nothing U is precisely that fear of the unknown and a mistrust of what is known that led Love tanal Homeowners' President Lois Gibbs to turn to SUNY Buffalo for help. The University responded with the Love Canal Task Force, which two Love Canal analysis months later disbanded after achieving absolutely nothing for the homeowners or the State. The Task Force’s ineptitude leaves hanging the homeowners’ near-desperate need for scientific expertise the kind available at New York State’s largest publiclysupported research center. The University’s utter failure to involve faculty in the Love Canal crisis contrasts dramatically with the success of individual professors who acting on personal initiative have moved into the area with research that has greatly benefitted the homeowners and in some cases the State. The Love Canal crisis is certainly Western New York’s most serious environmental problem since the University joined the State system in 1962. The Environmental Protection Agency lists 638 toxic dumpsites across the country that pose “significant hazards” 399 in New York State alone. The Love Canal has thus drawn nationwide attention as the first chemical time-bomb to go off. It is likely that the Niagara Falls dumpsite has merely opened (he book on the horror story of inderminate length. -»• — Gibbs said the homeowners are still in need of experts pediatricians, epidemeologists. toxicologists, lawyers and even behavioral psychologists. “The*; is a Igt of breakdowns and emotional stress,”she observed.

With encouragement and direction from Lee. Fbert leadership said, more faculty members wot contribute to the LoveCa “I got involved out of si mple personal interest and initiative,” Ebert explained. “There’s no reason others couldn’t have done the same.” The Task Force was declared defunct in October after only two meetings, which drew 40 and 20 faculty. Lee has said that many faculty members were hesitant to get involved out of fear that opinion would be misused by the homeowners, the Stale or attorneys seeking huge damage claims. Also a factor. Lee said, was the haziness Of the Love Canal problem. There was not enough hard data available to work with, the Dean explained. The Spectrum reported Wednesday that the University requested no data or other information from the State. Hbert did not see Lee's task as an impossible one. “If I were appointed chairman of'the Task Force.” he said. "I would call anybody 1 could toget information. I’d get on the phone, write letters anything.” dently - Why not Ebert? > Ebert is no stranger to the Administration. He is a former undergraduate dean and well-respected scholar. In August, when the Task Force was formed, he had already — — In the way? What led a research-dominated University with dwindling academic prestige to pass up a clear opportunity to study a precendent-setting crisis unfolding almost at its doorstep? Why did the Chairman of the Task Force place not even a courtesy phone call to the homeowners or the State to gauge the impact the Univesity could have on the Love Canal research? What truly stood in the way of SUNY Buffalo entering the Love Canal disaster? The volatile mixture of politics in an academic setting and the instrusion of academics into a political battle cannot be ignored in evaluating the Task Force’s demise, although University officials have to a man tried. - » — » » What Lois Gibbs had hoped for was a “Blue Ribbon” panel of scientists who could aid her Homeowners’ Association in evaluating the State’s findings. “We don’t trust them (State officials) pompletely,” Gibb said. “We need some real experts.” Beverly Paigen,. a Roswell Park cancer reseracher and faculty member here, has worked closely with with Homeowners’ Association, becoming its official consultant. She said the residents “needed someone to evaluate questions the State was saying T don’t know’ to.” Need information Not only did the residents need scientific expertise that would provide an independent opinion on the State’s research, they also turned to the University for purely information purposes, Paigen said. “They were scared,” she explained. “They wanted someone to come in and give a lecture on what cloroform does to them, for example.” Paigen, Geography Professor Charles Chert and Sociology Professor Adeline Levine, all of whom have independently engaged themselves in the Love Canal disaster, have become the homeowners’ informal panel of experts; although Their expertise is severely limited. “Generally, the residents call me and ask : ‘who do 1 go Lbert, Paigen or Levine?’ Gibbs told The Spectrum. to Thus, in an ironic twisting of roles, Homeowners’ Association President Gibbs has on the “clearing” - taken house” function Dean of Engineering George Lee said he would provide when he was named to chair the University’s Love Canal Task Force. No clearinghouse Lee has freely admitted to shifting the focus of the now-defunct Task- Force from a consultant-type function to a more academic stance aimed at educating the public about complex environmental problems. Despite the shift in emphasis, Lee said he would direct “anyone with questions” to a faculty member who might be of assistance. Yet, other than a short list,of general concerns the sent in late August, there have been no questions, no directing and no clearinghouse. And there was homeowners businesses can put managerial questions. the University also runs a service called the Legislative Assistance r enter, which directs State H legislators to faculty for specific advice And last year, when the city o f Buffalo needed a sophisticated architectural study to help revitalize, the downtown theater district, it was the St- hool of Architecture and Environmental Design that provide d it wit ty grant money to support the prcSject.

The State Health Departni nent is cond mg the i Among the most frightening aspects of the tragedy is its invisibility. ' EditorinChiel - no response from Lee begun his research at the Love Canal site. Why Was Lee with no prior involvement in the Love Canal and extensive duties as Dean of the Engineering School picked to chair the Task Force over Lbert? “1 honestly don’t know why,” Ebert said. “I really don’t know,” University President Robert L. Ketter told The Spectrum. Ketter said he was absent from the institution at the time and that Executive Vice President Albert Somit selected Lee. Somit is now on leave. Buf the choice of Lee proved to be a crucial one as he effectively halted the University’s entrance into the Love Canal while Ebert plunged in with his own work. Lee, of course, is one of Ketter’s closest allies on campus and the co-author of the President’s just-completed book. Gibbs’ hope for a "Blue Ribbon” panel sounded naive and impractical to many academics here. But the basic idea a pool of University-based expertise that the community or even the State can draw on is not without precendent.

Medically a conservative cautious called for ited But ancially, health oaeh is le NYPIRG enters If there is a pattern in the Love Canal research it finds the homeowners insisting that the toxins are end: angering more lives than the State admits; then being prover at least partially correct by further research. Of course, the homeowners themselves have a financial interest in relocation decisions. However, the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYP1RG),an independent, uninvolved body stepped into the Love Canal disaster with their own research on the health hazards of dioxin, a carcinogen found in the Love Canal. NYPIRG’s results were astounding. The group charged State and federal Officials with covering-up the danger of dioxin and galled for the immediate halt of reconstruction work at the Canal site. Professor Ebert’s work has also suggested that the State be more careful. He advised.State officials that the model they used to develop a clay cover over the toxic wastes was too simple and may fail. Hence, there is strong evidence that the State’s research has been at best incomplete and at worst deceptive. The homeowners, of course, fear the latter. i „ T3 No restrictions All of which raises the prickly question of a State Unversity assuming an adversarial stance to the government which supports it. the University legally act as a consultant in matters where the State is involved? “1 don’t know of any legal restrictions which stop the University from getting involved with some issues where another State agency is involved,” said Sanford Levine, associate counsel for SUNY-Central. “I suspect that, if there were potential conflicts, the University would ask us to sort them out,” Levine continued. He said that no SONY Buffalo official had contacted him about potential restrictions; nor did he know of any precedents involving SUNY and another State agency. Henry Dullea, Governor Carey’s advisor for education, also knew of no legal restrictions on SUNY, although he cautioned that he is not a legal expert. Dullea did, however, suggest that official involvement of the University might be more complex than simply setting \ up a Task Force. “To the degree that individuals want to get involved 1 think that would be appropriate,” Dullea told The Spectrum. “To the degree that the University wants to get involved in an offical capacity, I would think it would be appropriate to discuss the matter with the Chancellor to determine how the University’s resources might best be put to use.” Dullea stressed that if the University involved itself in the Love Canal crisis it should expfect to provide information to the homeowners, the State and anyone else who might request it. Which is exactly what Charles Kbert has done, without outside mondy and without any Task Force to back him up. The Taslc Force is dead. Gibbs has stopped trying to revive it. But with the political spotlight off the Love Canal after Ca/ey’s re-electipn; the local media tiring of the story after months of extensive coverage; and many of the immediately-endangered families safely relocated, the remaining homeowners are still deeply frightened. “This is far from over,” a distressed Gibbs told The Spectrum. “We still need help.” Empty Hopes On Thursday, February 22, the University will present a day-long public forum on the Love Canal, with several not surprisingly expert speakers including Ebert. Interested members of the University community will file in to hear the horrors of the nation’s most serious toxic waste crisis. And the University’s most significant contribution to the Love Canal disaster will be presented 20 miles from where poisons continue to seep into basements and - - backyards. As of yet, there are no clear answers to the University’s curious withdrawal fr0m-4he Love Canal. The evidence of State interference is limited to pure speculation. However, the spector of Albany chilling the Univeristy’s attitude toward the Love Canal appears at feast as plausible as Lee’s theories on faculty reluctance; theories that Ebert has trampled over with his personal initiative. What remains are the empty hopes of the Love Canal homeowners arjd the almost as hollow explanations of Lee, the reluctant chairman of a Task Force that assumed no tasks and became no force in the epic Love Canal crisis.

News Editor In a judicial versus legislative conflict over authority, the Student Wide Judiciary (SWJ) has thwarted the Student Association (SA) Senate’s attempt to oust current SA officers. SWJ has granted SA President Karl Schwartz a temporary restraining order which effectively halts the Senate’s move to invalidate the November general elections called by then SA President Richard Mott. Although student government officials are unsure if the Senate will accept the court’s ruling, Schwartz plans to bring the case before SWJ to gel a final deternination on the Senate’s move. At Monday’s meeting, the Senate voted to’ invalidate last November s elections and to remove the current SA Administration from office. In its place, the Senate chose to reinstate the former student government officials. However, the November elections were ruled legal and .valid by the same court last semester after Senators brought the case into SWJ’s jurisdiction asking the elections be delayed. Since then the Senate had consistently refused to recognize resulting in the SWJ’s authority throughout the political turmoil present power struggle between the three branches of student government. - Temporary remedy SWJ, which heard the case brought by Schwartz Wednesday, ruled could be done to the student body and jurisdiction of a previous court would be defeated, thus the need fora temporary restraining order. However, the court’s decision stated, “This is not a decision on the constitutionality of the Senate’s actions, that irreparable harm but merely a temporary remedy that restrains the previous office holders from resuming their positions pending a full hearing on the issues. SWJ Chief Justice Scott Epstein said he would notify Schwartz and Executive Vice President Joel Mayersohn of the court’s decision on the behalf of the Senate. Epstein said he has “no idea” when the case will receive a full hearing, .but he thinks “sometime in the very near future.” The invalidation motion passed at Monday’s Senate meeting was who ran unsuccessfully for Executive proposed by Turner Robinson Vice President in the November elections. Robinson’s proposal calls for a 10 member “Senate Committee” to oversee and check-up on the former SA officers who would be restored to power. - DO YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT SPANISH CULTURE AND THOUGHT? DO YOU WANTTOLEARN IN SPANISH? DO IT IN SPAIN! Take advantage of SUNYAB’s program in SALAMANCA, June 27 - August 17. ’79 — Elections or authority? The Senate’s insistence that SWJ does not have authority over SA puzzles University Student Affairs official Ron Dollman. He is not sure if Monday’s action by the Senate is an attempt to simply invalidate the November elections or overrule SWJ’s authority. Dollman told The Spectrum, “Over the last four or five years, we’ve been trying hard to establish SWJ as the judicial extension of SA, I thought we had reached a point of acceptance and competence. However, the Senate’s recent action brings into focus the question of if that role has been accepted.” Schwartz explained that he. feels SWJ-had no decision but to grant the temporary restraining order. Otherwise, the student court would relinquish its authority to the Student Senate. Schwartz said, “There’s no way they could’ve ruled otherwise. If they had done so, SWJ would have, in effect, made itself extinct. “Think of the precedent,” he noted, "if every time the Senate didn’t like" the ruling of its judjetary, it decided to overrule it. Why have a judiciary?” . Appeal Dollman noted that there is a higher court a student Supreme Court where the Senate could have challenged SWJ’s original decision to postpone the November elections. He said, “It hinges upon whether they [the Senate) accept the court or not.” Schwartz, who would return to his position of Acting President if the Sepafe’s move was instituted, said he asked for a restraining order from SWJ because he did not believe, the old office holders would “flock” to Talbert to take over their offices. Schwartz remarked, “However, I’m attempting to add a bit of legitimacy to this mockery of a sham. Therefore, when the Senate decided to confer upon itself a role not granted in any-SA constitution I’ve seen recently, I decided I’d call them [SWJ] on this one.” Although no court date has, been set, and the Senate has not decided if it will accept SWJ as a legitimate body for the future case, the politically torn Student Association will continue to operate under its present leadership. — - ROGRAM OFFERS THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY OF living for six weeks with a Spanish family; taking courses in the language, literature, and thought of Spain and getting full credit mdergaduate or graduate student; 'visiting Madrid, one of the most exciting an capitals, and Salamanca, a traditional center tish culture; 4. tours, concerts, films and lectures. - Outstanding women It’s not too late to submit the name of your favorite faculty or staff woman at UB for recognition in our special women’s issue.

Box 271 Buffalo, N Y 14221 �Hazards, likelihood of cancer from asbestos is documented by Elena Cacavas Campus Editor unless methods are discovered to prevent formation of asbestos-caused neoplasm abnormal tissue growth “We may look forward to an extraordinary number of asbestos-related lung cancer deaths in the next three to five decades.” tbe incurable cancer related to asbestos is mesothelioma, so named because the mesothelial lining of the chest the pleura has been found to have abnormal changes following asbestos inhalation. Another asbestos-related sickness is asbestosis the fibrous matting of lung tissue which requires a higher level of exposure than does the cancer. Upon entrance into the body, asbestos fibers have been found to commonly spread to various organs. The extended latency period once fibers are irrbedded has been discovered to become longer as exposure is lessened. — — Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Joseph Califano warned governors in 1978 of the health hazards created by asbestos “even in low exposure levels.” Califano’s announcensnt and other asbestos studies are now being exanined with wary eyes as various UB organizations and Music Department members seek proof or refutation — — of th$ claim that the asbestos lingering in Baird Hall air is jeopardizing the health of the building’s occupants. A 1975 paper issued by I.J. Selikoff of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine detailed the results of numerous asbestos studies. The introduction to the report states, “Asbestosis is unlikely to be the major concern in the future with regard to asbestos-associated disease; rather, cancer will have the honor of first place.” The New York Public Interest Research Groug (NYP1RG) announced On January 29 that tiny asbestos fibers from the basement practice room ceilings of the Music Department’s Baird Hall were posing a health hazard. Linked primarily to lung to cancers of the throat, stomach, cancer, but colon and rectum, asbestos was banned nationwide approximately 10 as a building material in 1973 years after the construction of Baird Hall, ) — No danger Despite claims of the hazards, University Direttor of Environmental Health and Safety Robert Hunt maintained adamantly that the low concentrations of- fibers posed no problem. The controversy remained on that note until last week when a ceiling was scraped in preparation for replacement experiments. While Hunt recognizes the need to remove the deteriorating asbestos “as soon as possible,” he still seeks some proof of its inherent dangers. Several of the studies cited by Selikoff involved asbestos workers, hence, high concentration exposure. Central to all considerations was the 1930 discovery of a long period of latency between the onset of exposure and the subsequent appearance of radiologically evident changes. A 20 year period is the set standard. A second important finding in asbestos studies was that pleural pertaining to the lungs changes were common among workers exposed to asbestos. In reference to a 1955'report Selikoff states, “Unlike with other dust exposures, where pleural abnormalities are not commonly the opposite was found to be the oSse with asbestos.” - THE DANGERS OF ASBESTOS: HEW Secretary Joseph Califano knew of tha harmful affects of asbestos and told all 50 governors about them.

DOB denies increase, library cutbacks go on by Harvey Shapiro Contributing Editor Despite incessant pleas to upgrade the acquisition budget for the Libraries here, the State Division of Budget(DOB), with little justification, denied the University’s request for a $413,000 increase. This marks the fourth consecutive year in which the Libraries budget has been stagnant causing a decline in UB’s prestige as a quality University. r DOB did manage to come through with $138,600 to cover inflationary costs, but even that amount was less than the request of $187,000. Director of the Libraries, Saktidas Roy, said that with the 11.1 percent increase UB would not be able to buy the same amount of books and periodicals it purchased last year. “As this continues each year, and the erosion of the Libraries’ resources continues, this school will only decline as a research center, meaning less qualified people will come here,” Roy warned* Roy estimated that- his office will only be able to purchase 90 percent of what it bought last year. He is hopeful that money can be found elsewhere to bolster the sagging budget, as happened last year when the President’s Office gave the Libraries an additional $100,000. Most affected will be the Sciences and History, where students will find less research material. “Even if we do get other funds all it means is that we can buy the same amount as last year. We should be growing, instead we fall further and further behind each year,” Roy complained. Going nowhere Roy added that any addition to the acquisition budget, should it , —continued on page 26— — Incurable cancer In an observation of 93,3 workers who were employed in an asbestos factory for four years and then checked 30 years later, 83 deaths were linked to lung cancer. Selikoff reported as a critical problem, “The fact that approximately one in five asbestos workers who were exposed under conditions which existed in the past how die of lung cancer.” He added that — - - — Long latency period According to Selikoff, “An important difficulty in evaluating the quantitative relationship between the amount of exposure and subsequent risk of asbestos- associated disease has been the long period of clinical latency between the onset of effective exposure and the subsequent appearance of such disease.” Despite this obstacle, suggestion has been made that even with brief exposures, cancers will appear. Among a study of asbestos workers with five or more years experience, the risk of lung cancer becomes significant 15 years after the onset of exposure. In contrast, with those having one month or less of employment, lung cancer was not observed until 30 years or more had passed. Selikoff states, “Occupational cancers, resulting from more intense exposures, will occur more rapidly; environmental neoplasms, only after a long time." By 1965, according to the report, it was established that exposure to asbestos could constitute a hazard ...” such exposure need not be more than might occur in some environmental circumstances.” indicated that Evidence environmental—exposure to asbestos contamination could result in at least one tissue change. Bystander disease Asbestos-rClated been found in individuals not directly exposed to fibers in high concentrations. In a 1965 analysis of 76 cases of mesothelioma, 45 of the people had no history of working with the material. “For asbestosis,” the report said, “there is much evidence that extensive disease is very unlikely to occur at low levels of exposure (environmental).” It adds, however, that mesothelioma may occur at levels of exposure below those necessary for asbestosis. Selikoff qualifies the judgement by saying that, as of yet, inadequate information exists. \ In his 1978 letter, Califano says that studies have found the potential for the release of asbestos into the air directly related to the extent to which the material has been damaged or deteriorated. A central cau&e of the fiber flaking in Baird Hall has been attributed to the damaged ceilings which have been picked at by students.

Pat The peculiar structure of this administration (warped from years of accomodating "acting" administrators), the administrative tone and style of the people in power and the lack of strong central leadership have, over the years, combined to create an environment where the 'system" appears to make and enforce many decisions Accountability is so muddled within the committee-bloated leadership-starved system that poor decisions, or no-decisions, a either hidden away or blamed on the faceless, unassailable Correction meeting article, The In Wednesday's Student Association Senate committee is that the DUE Curriculum stated Spectrum incorrectly of the Springer planning to sue the University to stop implementation (SA) that is report in the fall of 1979. In fact, it is Student Association any type. any not of committee planning to sue. Spitzberg the visionary this point or policy-making chai There is so much "input so much "feedback o much review," so much "balancing" of concerns and "sensitivity" to need! at so many different levels that these buzzwords decision-making itself, as if invoking them constitutes action of some kind. The same words have, as continual blurring of the individual and his ideas. Hence, when decisions come down such as the implementation of the Springer report next fall the buzzwords re appear to protect and cloak the people and policies involved. The system emerges as the creator of policy; its victims turn cynical and its benefactors turn shrewd in using — It was precisely this phenomena that led the Faculty Senate Education Planning and Policy Committee to urge a strong, indepedent Undergraduate Dean who had enough authority and budgetary clout to take the division away from the system and place it under the direction of a single officer. The EPPC perceived that DUE would never have true leadership unless the system was made subservient to the individual who turned out to be John Peradotto. came F. Carter Pannilll and his power grab that nearly won Along him control of undergraduate programs in Health Sciences. Although with a lot of pride placed on the line in the that move was blunted process Pannill and Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn have come up with a new proposal that makes John Peradotto in this case a "Council" on undergraduate subservient to the system education. As a slap in the face, Peradotto is not even allowed to be subservient to the system within Health Sciences. There he is nothing. So much for a single office and a single officer. plan is, in its essence, an exacerbation of This latest the system-dominated structure that originally led the University to re-examine the role of the DUE Dean. It is a thinly-veiled step backward; another committee guised as a "Council" and rationalized as a new way to address previously unexamined problems. It is also a sell-out by Bunn, who we think does not truly endorse its principles; and it is a cruel insult to John Peradotto, who was deceived upon accepting the job and has been mistreated ever since. Those who truly care about undergraduate education here and were offended by Bunn and Pannill's high-level tinkering ought to be outraged at this overhaul of bureaucracy. Once again, education and how to provide leadership for it is the question. The answer will not come as a committee, or a council, or any other rhetoric-shrouded device that removes the individual and his ideas from the - — - Befo nior the problem of the colleges else. I th hould b nsidered and Spitzberg's role in Iher anything executed They are modeled after the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge Universities, which developed to serve and further the economic and intellectual elite of bngland These colleges were and are necessarily miniscule (typ. 100 persons). In the design of their physical plant and social organization ween different academic disciplines, a commendable goal. This system would seem to be of marginal use to an American public university. After all, we don't have an empire and we lack viscounts. But maybe the good features of Oxford colleges could be the advantageously implemented at UB interdisciplinary contact, the small size, the singular devotion to academic excellence. Except they haven't. Ellicott was built to have one college per quadrangle, or 600 persons per college. As the intended size for a coherent group, 600 is too stupid to bear mention. So now the colleges are smaller, — that Ellicott is successful at nothing isolating people (it isn’t even warm). And CFC. few colleges schedule seminars.and a< lown he acac lemic barriers. Instead, the Collcges"at UB serve different functions. They act as clubs through which one obtains desirable dorm rooms. Some have absolutely no other purpose. Others provide easy A s, either through non-traditiojial courses like basketweaving, or through academic subjects that have been bastardized. Certain colleges obtain a forum for their axe-grinding by offering these trivial courses You can take “Auto Mechanics for Women" from WSC, and from Tolstoy College you can register for the ultimate class no' attendance required, no papers or tests necessary, minimum grade of B. So a marginal idea has been implemented in America’ inimitable carnival style. This is not necessarily bad. For example, by lowering standards the benefits of education can be brought even to imbeciles. But what I object to is Dean Spitzberg’s pose as an educational visionary. He is rather, 1 think a corrupt fool. 1 welcome comments on the ideas. — Mark O'I.car v - decision-making process. The system is not the solution.

It is best not to debate merits of a possible requirement until recommendations on General Education have come before the University community. But I would like to comment on the letter from Diane M. Eade and Jane Baum in The Spectrum of February 12, 1979. The burden of their letter is that language courses offered by the Deparlnent of Modern Languages and Literatures provide only “rudiments” of languages, and they ask that Courses be “of a more cultural nature.” Our language programs meet various student needs, including comprehensive “four skills” offerings, courses for reading knowledge, and, in the areas of “Critical Languages.” such as Japanese or Swahili, highly efficient and nationally recognized self-instructional programs. Assuming that Ms. Eade and Ms. Baum are concerned about elementary-level teaching, it should be pointed out that our “four skills” (speaking, comprehension, reading, writing) courses in French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish include significant and appropriate “cultural” information on the language ' " nation in question in addition to the “rudiments,” the phonological and grammatical systems and active, practice in communication. These are the courses most frequently taken by students. More specialized or intensive language courses lack this “cultural” factor to some extent, but that is known to the students before they register. To respond on another level: the “rudiments” impart to the language learner the profoundest and most lasting “cultural” message of all, namely the self-relativizing insight into the ways in which the new language functions differently from English, communicating the essential human situation with different motions, sounds, words, and syntactical To internalize and patterns. master these “rudiments,” to speak another person’s language, is to live that person’s life for a time in terms of his or her concepts and It is to experience more vividly than in any other way what a singular and various species humanity is. Peradotto on his foreign language stand Editor's Note: The following is DVT Dean John Peradotto‘s response to the General Education Committee’s student reus stone Haunt and Diane Cade’s letter protesting the Dean's strong stand in favor of a foreign language requirenrnl. Dear Diane and Jane begin by protesting in the strongest possible terms to your characterising my advocacy of foreign language “adamant demand.” Like every other member of the Gener'al Education committee, including yourselves, I have no more power than that which resides in my vote and my right to attempt persuasion. Dnder the circumstances, what “demands” could 1 make? Demands are made by people who presume to posses more than merely persuasive power. As to tlie substance of your complaint, nothing rules out the “alteration of existing course structures in our foreign language departments” to suit the designs and goals of language study as 1 formulated them in the committee. That is, 1 think, a matter, along with many others, for articulation in the second phase, as we have discussed it. However, to be forthright, my arguments for the value of foreign language study do not depend upon such alteration, and I would argue as vigorously for such study even if I could not, as I hope 1 can, persuade the language departments to adjust to a different kind of r'. educational demand. By the way, it still annoys me that you do not make the same objections in the case of other knowledge areas. Your argument assumes that languages are the only courses'ineffectually taught on this campus, and even then all you offer us is unsubstantiated rumor. If ineffectual teaching were grounds for eliminating knowledge areas from the General Education Program, how many would survive? If we, the Committee, must go to the Faculty Senate without student support, I shall be genuinely sorry, having done my bestio persuade you of the merits of language study on sound academic grounds, and not put of arguments of expediency, stance which could be and certainly not called, as you have called it, parochial. But let me remind you that, while we invite and respect your arguments and opinions on General Education, you have thin grounds for presuming to represent the constituency that will be affected by the General Education Program. Your protest on behalf of the present student body that elected you is, if I may say so, an empty protest, since they are wholly exempt from the requirements of the program. And even the constituency you properly represent, as polled by a General Education subcommittee, does not register so massive a protest to the foreign language requirement as the two of you bring forward in your letter: only 40 percent of those polled voiced disagreement with the requirement. As I said, if it is left to me to argue the merits of foreign language study on the floor of the Faculty Senate, I shall do so, with or without student support. If the Senate votes it down, I shall accept that democratic decision in a better spirit, 1 hope, that you have shown in responding to the General Education Committee’s vote in favor of the language requirement on two separate occasions. One’s participation in the proceedings of the committee assumes, 1 should have thought, acceptance of the rules of the game. If you find your principles so ill served by the Committee’s votes, then I should have thought you have several options open to you, one of which is to resign in protest, another to prepare a minority report. 1 remain open to dialogue, but hope that next tine your choice of words is more discriminating. concerns.

The bulk of the renovation has yet to be completed on the first, second and third floors, however.

Small wings adjacent to Hamlin, yet to be displays contain reworked, featuring Earth Science, and Invertebrates, Evolution According Vertebrates. to Publicity Director Ruth Schmidt, the Hamlin Hall exhibits are in a “hodge-podge” but temporary will soon be relocated when the complete. renovation is “Everything has been moved I assure you,” she said. That’s why the skeleton of a human body can be found next to rock specimens, and preserved plants are adjacent to stuffed animals. ' Dead ends The goal of the museum designers, according to Acting Director Virginia Cummings, is to incorporate exhibits of related subjects so that each display follows a logical sequence. “Right now,” she said “there are a lot of dead ends which isn’t good psychologically. People don’t like to backtrack past things they’ve seen already.

The stairs lead to the third floor storage rooms which are still in the process of renovation.

Currently in storage is a touring exhibit on loan from the Smithsonian Institute entitled “Invisible Radiation to Visible Images.” The exhibit, features of fossil photos X-rayed specimens from Europe and America. Barrier free Possibly the most significant changes are hidden from the public’s view. Prior to the - renovation, the building had no fire protection. One of the first projects, undertaken was the rewiring of the building and the installation of a heat and smoke detection system. Another easily overlooked but equally important alteration was the elimination of barriers to the handicapped. According to Summings, the Museum of Science is one of a few in Buffalo that is buildings completely barrier free. In the face of ever increasing operating costs, the Museum has not found it difficult to obtain renovation funds. Major sources of money include Erie County, The City of Buffalo, private donors, local foundations, and corporations. operating The Museum’s is another budget story. According to Cummings, the city has ends involves tearing down walls in some areas. The recently completed Egyptian and Chinese artifacts room on the first floor is an example. Walls were taken out of several rooms to create one large exhibit hall containing interrelated displays of ancienf Chinese and Egyptian culture. Much of the renovation has been completed on the second and third floors. Major exhibits on include the second floor cut out allocations completely, leaving Erie County as the sole public funding source. Although the county allocated more in 1979 than in 1978, the museum’s request of $882,000 was cut to $850,000. “We’re working under tight conditions,” said Cummings, “but think we’ll find money elsewhere.” Steps have been taken to save money without affecting the quality of the museum.

If you were around this city at the time, you can recall that BUF was once a progressive music bastion. But like a Marvel comics story, evil lurked somewhere in the shadows. Free-form would change to pre-programming, consumers would yell and scream to no avail, evil would triumph over good, there was no humanity left on the radio, no humanity left in the world. And the sentimental fools, me included, .who clung to hope of "Radio, Radio, the sound salvation" sweeping cross the nation would just have to suck on their own breasts, listening to the phonograph or to Canadian radio stations. (Unpatriotic?) That particular BUF is gone "death lay its icy hands” as is•said. But a new BUF, not the cutesy B-93, is emerging and is, at least, psuedo-progre>sive. Figure that pseudo-progressive means free-form by Joyce Howe The four slender white columns running down the length of Beck Hall's old brick facade on Main Campus belie its housing of the Faculty of Health Sciences. More aesthetically compatible are the two lower level roorrts Faculty-donated housing the recently conceived Alamo Gallery. Its walls currently lined with an electic assortment of photography, painting, drawing and collage by both University and area artists, the Alamo is a necessary and appreciated attempt at bringing the University, the arts and the Buffalo community together. This past fall, F. Carter Panhill and Donald Larson, Vice President and Associate Vice President for Health Sciences respectively, approached Will Harris, Chairman and John Mclvor, Director of Graduate Studies of the Art Department about using Beck Hall’s conference room and the room adjacent to it according to Larson, originally designed to be gallery space for the display of student art work. — — Cotufyirig the number of controlled hours of music will diminish; at times (the proper ones with luck), the music will be uninterrupted by commercials; there will be no talking. . - - Remnants of culture "We’re doing this because we love art,” stressed Larson. “Everyone deserves the chance to see and enjoy art. It should be infused intp the community and school. Our biggest fear is that when campus is finally completed, the University built, there will be no signs of the arts left on this campus. No vestiges of the performing or visual arts; there has to be a sense of the University leaving some remanents ofculture behind.” Besides a remote space on the second floor of Bethune (the Art Department building), and Squire Hall’s financially tenuous Gallery 219, the only available room on campus for student art work is now the Alamo. The unorthodox name derives from Pannill and Larson’s Texas heritage.

At present, BUF plays about 40 of the new records released each month, which is a good percentage above those played on other album oriented stations. But if you notice, they’ll play about four cuts from Elvis Costello’s Armed Forces; if that number is indicative, then folks who are “highbrow” about rock music, which is a lowbrow by any other name, will be satisfied. With all this frequent change, I’m thinking that radio is like television, but the reverse is true. Ratings make change, surer than Indians make rain in Bugs Bunny cartoons. You take 30 radio stations in Buffalo with similar formats but they change soon as the ratings change except they don’t need millions of folks to not listen; a drop in a few thousand will do it. So there are variations on themes. There are more changes on radio than on television, and they’re slighter changes, too. But people listen to radio more slightly, too. t Thoughtful radio is passe except to cultists; the masses want to forget; BUF will try to make money by combining cult and massness. Good luck.

The time has come, I think, to reaffirm the sense of purpose I felt when I started back in September. Some months ago, I gave one of the many possible replies to thisr charge by demonstrating how even something as banal as a TV commercial could provide for the divination of fundamental aesthetic principles. My point was that even if television is an electronic fount of garbage, what I write about didn’t have to be garbage too. By inspiring worthwhile thought, TV itself derived a certain value a value worth writing about. That column was based on the hypothesis that TV is unmitigated trash. The fact is, it is not. Obviously, TV is in bad shape but here and there something of quality sifts through. Is anyone going to tell me that Playhouse 90, The Ernie Kovacs Show, The Prisoner, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Richard Pryor Show, The Bill Moyers journal, M*A*S*H, and scores of other programs are unmitigated trash? I think not. True, one has to wallow through piles of rubbish to find these gems but this isn’t an immutable law of nature. Audiences are getting tired of network TV. For the first time in the history of television, the number of viewers has dropped. Change is in the air. Forces are moving to break the three-network stranglehold on TV. Look at your TV tuner sometime. Notice that there are an incredible 81 channels on it. Haven’t you ever wondered why you have only four or five stations to choose from? Haven’t you ever wondered why with even cable TV, you still have only three commercial networks, one public network, and a few impoverished UHF stations? ABC, CBS and NBC have the FCC on their side boosting network TV and making it difficult for local stations to compete. Now, the battlelines are being drawn as legislators and station managers prepare for the assault on network TV. If they succeed, television could blossom. There could be local stations that exclusively cover city politics, stations that showed only old movies; stations for Blacks, women and gays; stations in all foreign languages. The possibilities are endless. There is a mighty potential in all that rubbish. PBS, which is in a bad and (let’s face it) boring state of affairs, is due for an overhaul after the release of the much awaited Carnegie II Report. The original report coalesced “educational television” into the present “public” network. While it is not known what the exact effect of the new document will be, local PBS affiliates are reported to be dissatisfied and are only waiting for an opportunity to reform and develop public television. That opportunity may well be in the offing. New technology such as video tape recorders (VTR), wall-size screens, two-way and three dimensional television are either already available or on the way. VTR’s free the viewer from the schedules of broadcast and cable TV; projection screens free the TV image from the dimunitive confines of the TV tube; two-way TV (already in operation in Columbus, Ohio) augars expanded community participation. Just as technology originally conjured television out of nothing, so technology will transform television into an even more promising medium. Some of you might think that this is all quite self-indulgent, that I am sacrificing the general interest of my column by addressing myself to particular critics. But I assure you, I am not merely executing a written counter-offenshe at your expense. As a TV critic, I see myself not as a teacher of positive lessons, but as someone who through his weekly ramblings at least demonstrates that there is indeed something to be taught. Thus, even if there weren’t anyone telling me I was squandering my efforts, I would in every column, no matter what the specific topic, be directing myself to teaching the only lesson I may, in the final analysis, be capable of teaching; that there is something to be learned. —Ross Chapman — Same Time Next Year (PG) Daily 2,4:30,7:30,9.45 SI.50 til 4:35 �■o iOcies I 'Halloween' a big boo-boo Hollywood horror scene no new bag o' tricks by John H.

Mikey stabs her repeatedly as she whimpers, "Oh, oh, oh,” and then toddles outside to greet his parents, wielding the massive murder weapon the hay Fifteen years later, Michael has become an unspeakable ogre, and as his doctor (Donald Rleasence) explains to a nurse, must never be released from the state mental institution. No sooner is this warning out of the doctor’s mouth than does Michael attack the nurse, steal her car, and head back to where he butchered his sister as a kid. The doctor offers the nurse no help in her life-and-death struggle with Mike, and returns only seconds after the monster has hit the road. The story centers on Linda, played by Jamie Lee-Curtis, who plays a game of hide-and-seek with the monster. Curtis, an angular, sandy-haired girl, and one of the few pleasant surprises in this movie, portrays the typical beautiful high schooler who can’t land a date. The monster has chosen to terrify her, and pulls an appropriate number of “follow the girl then disappear when she notices you” pranks. Rolling in Straight A idiot The first to go is Laurie, who gets strangled and stabbed in a van parked in a darkened garage and ends up with her head lodged against the honking horn a remarkably original approach. Next is Annie’s boyfriend, — impossibly nailed to the wall with a knife that would have to be three times longer than it was to keep him posted. Finally it’s Annie, who, appropriately clad in nothing having just participated in one of the fastest and least memorable acts of sex in the 70s gets choked while speaking to Linda on the'phone. - FREE ELECTRIC HEATERS High school brains lobotomizedby monster - So what does Lioda do?

After the monster pushes her down the stairs, she gets up and dashes back across the street and, after a breathless, truculent battle, stabs the monster with a knitting needle, presumably killing him.

The only aspect of this flick which is really scary is that some people actually like it. A lot of them. Critics too. Why? Halloween’s faults may be its plusses. Scenes, designs and themes become cliches because they work and thus the movie is replete with sure-fire scare tactics. Halloween is filled with doors, mysteriously opening sudden loud noises and long, hard close-ups of battered bodies. These are proven winners and anyone who sees the movie hoping to be sent shivering from the movie theater will indeed be apropriately terrified ‘The kocky Horror Show' Is just that. His hangups are Hilarious .. provided, absolutely of course, you have no interest in originality Halloween could be viewed as a mediocre satire on horror films. Some scenes are seemingly lifted straight from old Carol Burnette movie spoofs, and the movie may be one grand, contrived and large scale poke at its precursors. Taken as a joke, Halloween could be a very funny film. But it's highly doubtful that that was the intent of John Carpenter, the film’s Rather, creator. Halloween remains as a weak attempt at wholesale fear, and in the end the trick is on the viewer. - turn to the next page Qtiamda zJImtrie MIDNIGHT SHOW Friday and Saturday The New Home of R ft. a different AU Seats set of Jaws. $3.00 Third Month! 3176 Main Street 3176 Main St. - 833-1331 (1 block So. of U.B.)

The Runner Stumbles operates successfully on two levels. While it is thought provoking (though not a philosophical heavyweight), it is also a good mystery cum courtroom drama cum Murder on the Qrient dark romance Express on Perry Mason on Measure for Measure. Conclusive facts are withheld by the playwright until the last possible moment, providing for a gripping finale. Director Warren Enters always does his best work with a professional company. In fact, his artistic forte is in casting actors with the correct presence and the proper talents for a role. From the leads to the walk-ons, the acting is fine. Of particular note are Allan Frank and Sallyanne Tackus. Peter Evans portrays the young priest kivard accurately, if a little overly guilt ridden. Nancy Donohue is a vibrant and intelligent Sister Rita, a far more mature nun than the sugary media stereotypes. Handling the role of Erna with simplicity and care, Mary Lou Rosato is a trained clever and obviously well by Tom Oooncy | c ” f o, S > | Anyone who has grown up under the influence of Roman Catholics has undoubtedly spent considerable time contemplating the mysteries of the church.

Shown successfully oh Broadway a few years ago, the play deals with the early 19th century murder of a nun. The primary suspect in the crime is a priest who was her immediate supervisor. Not only is Father Rivard thought to be Sister Rita’s murderer, but there is evidence indicating that he was also her lover. Theater often affords us a look into the lives of others. Shakespeare's histories air the royal linens of England, while Tobacco Road depicts, albeit distortedly, the pathetic lives of a hillbilly family.

How can a court trial Religion and reason be called fair when it denies the humanity of the participants? Two themes weave their way in and out of The Runner Stumbles-, the central one being the individual versus the institution. Stitt has said thit the beauty of the Roman Catholic Church exists in its ability to make absolute order out of chaos. The author's mouthpiece for this point of view is Sister Rita. She tells us the church loves people and exists to help them, yet the course of our lives is strewn with hurdles set up by institutions such as church and government. How can a church be founded The drama’s other theme Is an offspring of the former: how people manage to cope with personal frustration. Each character is decidedly befuddled by fate and must deal with his life considering the hardships. For various reasons some turn to religion. Rivard becomes a priest for the authoritative position through which he can exert some control. Sister Rita accepts her vocation because of her belief that by loving others she can learn to love herself.

According to Roszak, however, this particular book was not written to be a discussion of latest fads among student activists. In his current work Person/Planet (Anchor Press/Doubleday, $10.95), his sensitive insights and intelligently developed thinking penetrate further into the erosion of American culture. Yet his work is still being associated with light minded fads. In this past Sunday’s New York Times, Book Review, Caroline Seebohm knocked Roszak’s new book by saying that fafir/I iterati a basic distrust of anything big. It is not enough to have worthy goals. People are capable of creating systems that turn around and consume them even though they have founded these systems on the highest ideals. . . . i of power.” The solidarity which "the movement" may have wanted on a conscious level was probably greatly feared on an unconscious level. Now with the energies of "the movement” dispersed, this fear emerges as a basic distrust of anything big, be it political of apolitical. It is not enough to have worthy goals. People are capable of creating systems that turn around and consume them even though they have founded these systems on the highest ideals. The validity of Roszak’s work is that in his reliance upon the emotional energy of the Sixties drop-out phenomenon that in this decade cannot be characterized as "underground,” lies his correct sense of the mood of America. Its fallacy is that he doesn’t go anywhere in terms of constructive facilitation of his ideas. The reader is presented with Roszak’s personal orientation, is spun in a circle as the author scans our disintegrating culture, and then is patted on the rear and sent off in whatever direction can be found within this personal perspective. We must recognize, however, that to go too far in any sort of concrete suggestion process would be to set up the very sort of non-personal dictating that Roszak is reacting against. In a sense, his book is centered on the reader. As readers, we are the dints of his notions of personalism. As such, we receive his writing as a discourse malleable to each individual existence. The author does not pretend to be leading us into some separate domain fie owns and we must adapt to. We all stand side by side with deterioration all around his subject belongs to the Sixties.

The band began with the Anarchy '77 circuit whereby they joined ta tour de force Sex Pistols in trying to create an awareness on the streets again. They tried to tear down the established group system, the coldness and depersonalization of rock n’roll. The Pistols tried but failed with Malcolm McClaren at the helm. And they blew it musically when they kicked out the melodics of bassist Glen Matlock.

What happens when Rocky Horror Picture Show star Frank ‘n’ Furter meets Alice Cooper producer Bob Ezrin is nothing like some runaway analogy might want you to believe. common denominator only The between Rocky Honor and Tim Curry’s Read My Ups is the attitude similar to the B-grade cultist success of that infamous Midnight movie; that either on screen or record, Curry is not content to manipulate there’s no hiding it. In actuality, Blondes Have More Fun is more like one of those loaves all turkey prepackaged homogenized white meat and no guts. Now, don’t get me wrong. I'm not one of those guys who walks around wearing a “Disco Sucks” teeshirt. It’s fine to change with the times, but when you let the times change you, you’ve got a problem. I thought "Miss You” was great. But the Stones used the controlled feel of the disco beat as an effective contrast to )agger’s ragged vocal, and the result was an expressive commentary on loneliness and isolation. Stewart’s treatment of “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” in contrast, is so lifeless that the song comes off as nothing more than cheap exploitation and, as a result, has nothing to say to me. This lyric, for - contemporary pop music. It’s all “Matchbox,” "Everybody’s Tryin to be My Baby” and "Honey Don’t.” That might have been the extent of the Carl Perkins story, but now, a renewed interest in rockabilly and r&r basics has led to a Carl Perkins "comeback” an eight week tour and this album, Of Blue Suede's very professional sounding, but it’s a hollow competence, one without feeling. It all sounds fine as long as you don't listen too closely. Stewart’s music has been immensely popular ever since “Maggie Mae," so I hesitate to put the blame on commercialization. Rather, I think that it’s a gratuitous impulse to sound "contempocary” that’s the problem here. And it’s sad to see what a great leveller and homogenizer that impulse can be. competent and - Back. Subtitled Carl Perkins' Tribute to Rock and Roll, this album is a collection of the "classics” “Rock Around the Clock,” “Tutti Frutti” and, of course, "Blue Suede Shoes.” The danger with this kind of set is that it can easily fall into the pit of that devil and become nostalgia old indistinguishable from- the latest Big Wheelie and the Hubcaps album. But the saving grace here is that Perkins marks each of these cuts with his own distinctive stamp. He recaptures the life energy of these songs without resorting to cheap imitation of their original sounds. This is not music for us to remember by, but rather a man making music that he loves and*. as such, comes off as a heartfelt — instance; If ya want my body, and ya think I'm sexy the pop star formula to his own end. Rather, through his teaming up with produccr-gone-musician Curry Ezrin, advances a virtual parade of musical styles. Incorporating a multitude of session men (the usual Ezrin crew; Dick Wagner on guitars, Allan Swartzberg, drums; Jim Maelin, percussion; John Tropea, guitar), Curry performs an array of variant-styled material. The real rockers “Birds Of A Feather,” Joni Mitchell’s "All I Want,” and Roy Wood’s "Brontosaurus” could almost mislead the listener when viewed separately from the nwjre oddball things; "Wake Nicodemus” (traditional Irish influence on rock, as convincing as anything by Horslips on Nazareth), Lennon and McCartney’s “I Will” (almost reggae), Irving Berlin’s “Harlem On My Mind,” Baaccrach and David’s "Anyone Who Had A Heart" (strongly reminiscent of Tom Jones) and the definitive blues selection, the Ezrin penned "Sloe Gin.” Also appearing here are Lee Michaels, the late Joe Venuti and Nils Lofgren (the only rock accordian player).

I mean you just can’t expect to improve on the original of “Maybellene” or "Shake, Rattle & Roll.” But the level of vitality which Perkins and the band maintain on Ol' Blue Suede is formidable. Of course the guitar break on "Rock Around the Clock” sounds strange when you know the original so well, the crossover of styles on Fats Domino’s 'Tm fn Love Again” doesn’t really work and maybe "Be Bop a Lula” does sound a bit plodding. Still, I’d take this record over any two on this week’s top 10 album chart. Luckily, the years in semi-nowhereland do not seem to have taken their toll. Perkins’ voice has smoothed out and darkened a bit in his hiatus, but it can still deliver, in turn, the defiance of “Blue Suede Shoes,” the wry humor of “Kaw-Liga” and the celebration of “Rock Roll Shoes.” His guitar playing is particularly tasty.

Swartz "Evenings for New Music” at the Albright-Knox could make a New York concert-goer jealous of Buffalo. The setting is intimate and comfortably, the acoustics excellent, the audience astute and appreciative; and most importantly, the programming and performances are of uniformly high quality. Last Sunday’s concert in this series was no exception. It was thought-provoking, entertaining, and quite well-attended (which, unfortunately, cannot be said of all of the "Evenings” concerts). Like most of the concerts in this series, both 20th-century classics and a new _ piece were presented. In the first half of the concert, Schoenberg’s Phantasy for Violin and Piano, and two pieces by Pierre Boulez were featured. The second half of the concert was devoted to the Buffalo premiere of Julius Eastman’s "If You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You Rich?”, a piece which shocked, amused and aggravated the audience for its 30-minute duration. But first, a few words about the Schoenberg and the Boulez. Asymmetrical elegance The Phantasy for Violin and Piano by Arnold Schoenberg, the father of serial (12-lone) composition, displayed the asymmetrical elegance and bittersweet mood for which this Viennese composer is most famous. This short, somewhat wistful piece poured smoothly and effortlessly from under the fingertips of Charles Haupt (violin) and Stephen Manes (piano). The violin part is strongly coloristic, calling for pizzicati, double-stops and various harmonics; the piano part somewhat less virtuosic, but requiring notable sensitivity. From broken, halting sections to the waltzish interlude, a clear and thoughtful outline of the piece emerged. From a piece by an old master at the height of his powers, the focus shifted to a younger master at the beginning of his career. Boulez’s Sonatina for Flute and Piano, played by Robert Dick on flute and M,anes again on piano, displays the struggles of a gifted composer trying to “find his voice.” The piece is somewhat similar to the Schoenberg’piece in structure, and gets off to a slow, majestic and very beautiful beginning, but after awhile, its energy begins to dissipate. One feels two contradictory tendencies at work; a tendency towards singular, loping contrapuntal lines, and on the other hand, a desire to make the piano writing “pianistic” i.e., chordal or arpeggiated. It is through this conflict, which is never truly resolved, that the piece misses its focus. The performance was, technically speaking, very accomplished; however, I also felt that the piece's sang-froid called for a more detached attitude than the one presented by Dick, vVhose playing seemed at times a little hammy. WOOF, WOOF; The Fabulous Poodles have more in common with Frank Zappa than the name suggests. For one, they've taken on the infamous title of "the tackiest band in the country.” For another, the Fab Poos provide the wildest musical mayhem to come to ihis side of the ocean since the Kinks' outlandish approach to rock ‘n roll. Now It's your turn to find out just how outrageous this English satirical pop band is. The Fabulous Poodles will be appearing at After Dark in Lockport on February 21.

Assume the doggie position, ' I & CORKY PRESENT a Little Help From" Q-FM-97 THIS TUESDAY! at Kleinhans Music Hall 1 — Poise and control Much more mature and well-conceived was the second of the two Boulez pieces (actually two pieces in itself) Improvisations sur Mallarme I and //. Boulez has set two poems by the visionary French Symbolist Stephane Mallarme for soprano and percussion ensemble (including harp, celesta and piano). The title is illuminating: these songs use their texts as points of departure for essays in color and sound. The orchestration is brilliantly realized, and speaks of a sensitivity to sound which is matched by few other composers. Deserving of special mention is Phyllis Bryn-Julson, whose poise and control were truly remarkable, and provided her with the resources for a detachment appropriate to the material. The ensemble was conducted by )an Willi'ams with characteristic and sensitivity confidence. Finally, we have the piece by Julius Eastman. The audience, lulled into French complacency by the Boulez, was heard to nudge each other and giggle when Eastman, who conducted hi'?piece, walked out on the stage in a grey sweatshirt, rumpled levis and winter boots. Assorted brasses plus two sets of tubular bells, two electrified contrabasses, and piano remained silent while Eastman conducted a single trumpet playing a slow chromatic scale ascending in Rubank first-grade rhythm. The trumpet ended up on its absolute highest pitch, paused, played it again (at earsplitting volume), paused, played it again. Little by little, as the rest of the ensemble entered, the audience realized that this bargain-basement theme (the ascending chromatic scale), was the major content of the piece, and that the piece had two dynamic levels; extremely loud, and even louder than that. By this time people began to notice that there was an empty seat on the stage which held an electric violin hooked up to a Fender amp. After about eight minutes, the soloist, Benjamin Fludson, climbed onto the stage and picked up the violin. At precisely the perfect moment, he began to play an earsplitting parody of a romantic violin solo, interspersed with the chromatic “theme.” Now people were holding their ears, members of the audience began to leave (about a dozen in all), composers in the audience were dissolving into delighted laughteK and dogs several miles'away were careful construction, and perking up their ears. The vicious humor, the raw absurdity of the piece made for an experience the audience was not likely to forget. Welcome to Punk-Classical.

The local police obtain a warrant and your searches office unannounced. They go through files, folders, wastepaper baskets, taking whatever they want with them. Police-state tactics, right? The Supreme Court doesn’t seem to think so, A little more than a year ago, one of the most controversial Supreme Court decisions handed down in recent years stormed through the worlds of journalism and civil rights and across the oasis-like campus of Stanford University. The Stanford case Daily police gave departments across the country a license to search the once-sacred domain of the newsroom. Stanford, a prestigious private university, is a world-reknown center for creative thinking, scientific research, and journalism training the last due to the Stanford Daily. The Daily stands as one of the best student newspapers in the nation. And on April 12, 1971, Editor-in-Chief Felicity Barringer must have felt proud of the paper and its recent success in covering major campus stories as she walked into the Daily offices from the warm sunshine of southern California. Inside she found Palo Alto - Police review board nixed by 6—I margin by Brashaw Hovey Spectrum Staff Writer The concept of a civilian police review board has died in the Buffalo Common Council while an examination of the Police Commissioner’s Investigative Unit (PC1U) still awaits creation. Ellicott District Councilman, James W. Pitts’ resolution calling for the formation of a citizen body with power to investigate police conduct and impose discipline was killed Tuesday by a 6—1 vote of the Council’s Legislation Committee. Meanwhile, Council President Delmar Mitchell is expected to announce before next TuesdajTwho will serve on a special committee which will look into the operations of the PCIU, the Police Department’s internal mechanism for dealing With police misconduct and complaints of brutality. Regardless of who serves on the examination committee and what its findings are, it seems clear that the current members of the Common Council will not vote to establish a civilian police board. Only a handful of members of the full Council are committed to the plan whHe several, members are vehemently opposed to the idea of a civilian review of police operations. Among them is South District Councilman James P. Keane who said that the threat of review of actions an officer may take “in a split second that may involve his life,.” by a group of civilians “who don’t know anything about, police work,” will have an adverse effect on police morale and threaten “law and order” in Buffalo. The Council voted February 6 to establish the special committee to investigate the PC1U after an Erie County Bar Association committee claimed it was “thwarted” by Police Commissioner James B. Cunningham in its attempts to examine records of the PCIU. The Bar’s committee, which had been formed to study the feasibility of a Civilian review board, reported that it could not determine the effectiveness of the PCIU without,the police records. After Cunningham and Attorney Francis Offermann, who chaired the cQmmittee, exchanged front-page charges and counter-charges over who was telling the truth, the Common Council decided to step in. One Common Council insider speculated that Cunningham would not attempt to block the Council’s investiagtion, despite his previous unwillingness to supply police records to the Offermann committee. “They’re not dealing with citizens; now- they’re dealing with Councilman. If there are things they don’t want to give us, we’ll subpoena them,” he said. „ Council leak But some of the PCIU’s records may not be open to the Council’s subpoena. Corporation Counsel Joseph P. MacNamara said he feels certain that some of the Police Department’s records cannot be subpoenaed but declined to say which records. He also said that he is waiting for a specific request from the Council’s special committee before offering an opinion and-has not even done preliminary research on the question— Though no formal announcement has been made regarding the membership of the committee or precisely what it will study, it appears likely that the three member panel will include at least one supporter apd one opponent of a civilian police review board. A number of published reports had identified University -District Councilman Eugene Fahey as the likely chairman of the committee. Council sources report 1 that Mitchell, the only one who has the right to make such an appointment was visibly angered by the leak. Fahey told The Spectrum he was now unsure if he would be chosen and whether or not he should accept the appointment if it is offered. There might be a “conflict” said Fahey, whose father-is a Buffalo police officer and has" strongly opposed a civilian review board. One other possible member is Keane who says he hopes he will be appointed to “make sure everything is on the square.” police officers, equipped warrant, going through with a photo files, desk drawers, filing cabinets, wastebaskets, and mailboxes in a pointless search for a photograph that did not exist. According to a present staffer, “They were their poking noses into everything.” highly The controversial search was to roll across the country to the steps of hospital’s contend the search lasted 15 minutes, while the Daily put the time at 45 minutes. Editors and writers for the Daily were upset, and understandably consequently filed suit against the Palo Alto police on May 13, 1971, The suit filed stated that the First, Foulh and Fourteenth Amendment rights of the paper had been violated. On October 25, a Federal District Court in California ruled that the search did violate the First and Fourteenth Amendments and the Palo Alto Police Department took the case one of the main corridors, they called the police to remove them.

The Trilateral Commission was formed back in 1973 by Chase Manhattan’s David Rockefeller out of a growing fear of the threatening solidarity of the Common Market, which had just enlarged its membership with Britain, Ireland and Denmark. Rockefeller recruited influential folks from banks such as Bank of America; opinion shapers such as Time, Inc. and the Columbia Broadcasting System; oil suppliers like Exxon; and scholars like Zbignew Brzezinski from Columbia, and Samuel Huntington from Harvard, The new thinktank declared in its statement of purpose that in order to counter the Common Market, the Trilateral Commission must make “policy recommendations to the governments in Japan, North America and Western Europe. Japan dissented from this proclamation, accusing the Commission of being a ‘rich man’s’ club and saying that it should worry about nurturing our youth.

(ESPRI). In issuing their.final decision, the PSC cited projections by both the PSC and the electrical utilities themselves which indicate a slower rate of growth in electricity demand than did similar studies four years ago when ESPRI was first proposecj., Dunham insists that the utilities have downgraded their forecasts too far by drawing incorrect conclusions from data taken between 1973 and 1977. Dunham says that the interpretation of the data neglects the effect the State’s poor economy has had on lowering demand for power while it overestimates the effect of conservation voic and blue collars Which interests, 1 wonder, will the Trilateralisls give approval to express opinion? Are we supposed to keep our lips tight and read Time magazine and watch CBS news two Trilateralisl voices? The consumer and other interest groups that Huntington and the Trilateralists fear are really no threat to big business. Congress gave little consideration to tax reformers, Ralph Nader and consumer groups; The business lobby killed any chance of tax reform. The American Chamber of Commerce lobby prevented the passage of the consumer protection agency bill last spring. The oil lobby enjoys the victory of gaining the natural gas deregulation. So, while the consumer voices can’t even find a Congressional ear and the Trilateralists drink coffee and chat in the White House, I think Dr. Huntington and his friends should know by now that the “claims of democracy" (lower class interest groups) have long been “overriden.” I first learned about the Trilateral Commission about four years ago from an atypical unemployed laborer waiting in line for an unemployment check.

Dunham is convinced that the problem is nationwide but that New York will be the first state to be hit by chronic energy shortages. Other states have at least recognized that the problem exists, and have moved ahead with the construction of new coal-fired and nuclear powered generating plants, he said. “The real danger is, by the time the problem becomes evident here in New York it will already be much too late to do something about It,” Dunham complained. Dunham also charged that the PSC has taken a “head in the sand” approach to the feasibility of using nuclear energy to generate power. Dunham said that concern over the safety of such plants and the disposal of the radioactive wastes they produce are ill-founded. “The plants are technically sound,” he maintained, “and scientists Sponsored by Faculty of Engineering c>j L \ 8 Applied Sciences Student Government. 24.. �s Battle Plattsburgh SUNY Conference Standings Bulls’ play-off hopes ride with home contest tomorrow night With an NCAA Division III playoff berth more than a glint in the Bulls' eyes, tomorrow evening's match-up with the Plattsburgh cagers looms as one of the most important contests in Clark Hall in almost a decade.

For example, overly only two periods. On January 27, the Tonawanda Sports Center Zaraboni left a hole in the ice while smoothing it out after the middle stanza, handing the Bulls a shortened, 4-3 victory. Tuesday night, the two cLubs met again, and even though the Cortland Zamboni worked fine, the third period was played merely as a formality, since by then UB had the win well in hand, leading 7-2. The last 20 minutes served only to produce two scores by Dragon Andy Larsen, altering Buffalo’s margin of victory to 7-4. Buffalo’s two solid periods produced its first triumph in four games and, unexpectedly, it was not the high scoring “red line” of captain Ed Patterson, Tom Wilde, and Brien Grow that led UB out of its losing streak, but rather the contributions (via four goals) of the “green line” (composed of Keith Sawyer, Tim Igo and Don Osborn), so named because of the color of their practice shirts. - Returns to score “They weren’t really good goals,” stated the humorous, self-effacing Igo. “Cortland had a very weak defense. They weren’t picking anyone up in front of their net.” Osborn, who recently returned to the Bulls after being out over two months due to torn cartilage and damaged ligaments in the knee, chipped in with a goal and three assists. “It’s tough coming back late in the season,” claimed the left winger. “The knee’s still kind of weak, but its coming along.” Sawyer opened the scoring at 5:20 of the opening period, when Dragon goaltender Mike Nelson failed to cover up a loose puck,in the crease, creating an easy tip-in chance for UB’s right winger. Jim Galanti then increased Buffalo’s margin to 2-0 with his“taTly and in effect may have shaken his line out of<a recent slump. “We (including wingers Paul Narduzro, Mark Werder) came out hitting; we were jusl buzzing all over the net,” said Galanti. “As far asjjhe goal, Dooz (Narduzzo) and Bus (Werder) did all f jthe work in the corner. They Swimmers cruise to victory over Alfred When UB and Alfred University have a scheduled swim meet, Mother Nature tries just about everything to prevent it from taking place. Last year’s meet was cancelled because of too much snow. This year’s contest was originally scheduled for January 17, only to be postponed because of a mono-nucleosis threat on the Alfred squad. The Monday night temperature in Alfred was 24 below-zero and to further complicate matters, the meet started so late that the 1000-yard freestyle contest was eliminated. Nevertheless, the Bulls overcame the elements and avenged their frustrations, handing Alfred a 75-29 defeat. Buffalo dominated the meet to such an extent that they took first event but one, the 200-yard freestyle relay in the final event. UB swimmers Chuck Niles and Jim Brenner added school records to go along with their double victories. Buffalo swimmers Mark Howard, Cesar Lopez, Jim Siepka and Jeff Lefstein started things off right by winning the 200-yard medley in 1:50.32. Brenner then took the 200-yard freestyle in 1:51.25 setting a new school record and an Alfred pool record. Buffalo coach William Sanford said, “I pitted Brenner against Mark Henline, who is their best swimmer. The victory gave us a good start and the momentum carried through the rest otthe meet.” _ — Coach wins Buffalo’s Don Brocklehust won the 50-yard freestyle in a time of 23.9. Niles then set his school record of : 59.9 in the 100 yard individual me ley. Diver Mike Doran continued his winning ways, capturing both the one meter required diving with 1:63.85 points and the one-rneter optional diving accumulating 230.95 points. Bruce Koffsky continued UB’s assault after the intermission, swimming to a ;58.65 time in the 100-yard fly. One of the more interesting races took place in the 100-yard freestyle. Niles, who had at one time coadied Alfred’s Henline, stood one* lane apart from his former pupil. The coach' gave the student yet another lesson, winning in a time of :50.9. Brenner then swam to his second victory of the evening in the 100-yard backstroke. Asi Sveinsson and Lopez closed the UB scoring for the evening, taking the 500-yard freestyle and 100-yard ' breaststroke respectively. Sanford praised the Royals swim team, who had made the trip with the memjbr their vocal support. “It was very spirited on our part. Alfred had only one spectator when the meet started and he was our bus,driver,’’ he noted. The Bulls travel to Albany tomorrow where they will meet Binghamton and Albany in the SUNY center meet.

UB took first place in every event but one on a night when both teams had to brave the 24-degree below zero temperature to get to the meet. just as Corl Ivan t lie visitors a The Bulls continued to cheek the Dragons effectively in the middle period, penetrating through the dormant Cortland defense almost at will. The “green line" once again victimized the hosts’ resistance, breaking through for another Sawyer score at 5:36. Sawyer admittedly should have had more than two goals, commenting, “1 was pushing it too hard, I think. They were setting me up good, but 1 guess when you’re trying for them, they never conic.” The Dragons responded one minute later, with a good passing combination that ended in a Don Wolf tally from in front. Ahead 4-2, the Bulls then scored three times in a span of six minutes, insuring the victory. Igo capitalized on the temporary confusion in front of the Cortland net, slipping the puck high into the Nelson cage at 10:46. Following soon after, UB’s John Sucese received a late Christmas gift, when the Dragon netminder failed to clear his soft floater, letting it go between his pads. Patterson closed the scoring in the middle period with a superior individual effort, giving LIB a safe 7-2 bulge at 16:12. “Tommy (Wilde) gave me the puck, and we came down three on two,” recounted the Bulls’captain, “Their defensemen just split apart, and 1 just went right in between the two of them. Then 1 deked the goalie out and put it in. • Two at home ..“Overall, we weren’t really that were fortunate to win. They good a team, and we just played well enough to beat them,” Patterson summed up. Another who was not particularly pleased with the Bulls’ performance was their coach, Ed Wright. “There was no aggressiveness, no tenacity in the forechecking,” noted the harsh coach. “We were more or less going through the motions. We’re not playing the kind of hockey that’s going to win us a big one, which is what we need right now. We’re going to have to be able to play three tough periods and beat somebody big.” Buffalo will get- its chance tonight, when they host, Potsdam State, and tomorrow night, when Brockport State will visit the Bulls at the Tonawanda Sports Center, both contests starting at 7:30 p.m. �I Libraries % -continued from page 5. . . come through, could only be used to “catch up to where we were several years ago.” In the past few years UB has had to cancel many subscriptions to research periodicals due to rising costs. Should more money be found, the first priority for the Libraries would be to replace the cancelled periodicals. “So," Roy explained, “an addition in the budget really means nothing except that we can get back to where we were. It is not really an addition. Every year we lose out strength as a rese arch center," Roy said in tl “if the erosion continues, we won’t be of Research Libraries which consists UB is a member of the Association of 105 schools. F.ach year the association ranks its members according to a schools’ budget and its number of volumes on the shelves, tach year UB’s ranking has been sinking lower and lower. According to 1977-78' figures, which Roy said were favorable for Buffalo, this University ranked 55 in the number of periodicals. It was number 73 in acquisition of periodicals and 49 in total acquisi tion monies No formula UB's Academic Affairs Office conducted its own study of libraries in schools comparable to UB. Out of 23 schools, the Libraries here rated 19. Its best rating'came under the category of “Total Items Borrowed”, its worst ranking in “Volumes Added”. Both results reflect this University's ever increasing dependence on outside libraries for research materials. “Lach year it becomes more and more important for us to maintain our research collection,” Roy said, ‘‘but the State is not sympathetic.” DOB, as reported last semester in The Spectrum, has consistently refused to adhere to accepted formulas to determine the Libraries’ acquistion budget. This year, DOB had a novel excuse for Roy. “They said they would not listen to any formulas we had because SUNY Central was developing a new formula for the future,” Roy explained. However, SUNY’s new formula will not be ready until 1980-81, DOB will not accept the Office of Academic Affairs rankings, saying that the schools mentioned in the study are not comparable to here. “What do we do?" Roy wondered. Wrangle money DOB also slighted Buffalo in personnel. Roy had requested an additional seven lines to help run the Libraries many branches. All seven lines were denied by the State. Additionally , the State mandated that another seven lines be frozen during the year, thus cutting personnel more sharply. DOB also sliced the Libraries’ request for additional funds to cover the rise in the Federal minimum wage which UB pays its student help. “They reasoned that SUNY was exempt from the Federal law so they said, ‘you raised it (student’s wages), you find the money to pay for it’,” Roy recalled. Currently, the Libraries pay student help $2.55 an hour; DOB budgeted Libraries’ employees for $1.85 and hour. Roy said he would do his best to make sure that the Libraries' hours are not affected by the meager budget. “In fact," he said, “1 am trying to xwrangle money from somewhere to restore the hours cut in previous years.” While students will not be subject to a cut in hours, they will suffer a reduction in services provided by the Libraries. The necessary cuts will be felt “behind the scenes", according to Roy. “we are cutting services such as circulation and cataloging, meaning less books on the shelves,” he said. Hassett conflict University. "Ms. Stuart has added to CUNY a tremendous advantage of sharing philosophies of higher education which could be carried on in SUNY.” Dullea said Hassett has also fulfilled both roles professionally. Do justice Student Association of the Student Trustee member Steve Allinger did not recognize a definite conflict of interest in this case but said he could “see it happening in specific instances.” Allinger suggested that by dividing his time between Canisus and SUNY, Hassett could “not do enough justice to the 64 colleges of SUNY.” The student leader felt that system. Undergrads in O'Brian In other Library news, reliefs for law students, who have complained about the unnecessary use of the Law Library by undergraduates, may be forthcoming, according to Roy. In a meeting two weeks ago, several students, as wqll as Law Librarian apd'Professofr. Wade Newhouse. complained about the lack of study space for law students since “undergraduates lake up all the spaces.” Some law students requested that undergraduates be barred from the Law Library. Roy said the Libraries are now advising students to use the Undergraduate Library (UGL) unless they are working with law materials, “we have installed quiet areas in the UGL to combat the image that the UGL is a gathering place." he said. Roy added that nickel copying machines, which currently can only be found in the Law Library, will soon be placed in every library. “We hope that by summer, all 16 branches will have one and the use of the Law Library by undergraduates should decrease,” he said. x-' v»-. “ are ‘‘entirely too legislation percentage mandating of the that board a be composed of SUNY graduates.

P'iduccia cited the cases of several other papers, as well as radio and television stations, both in-and out of California, that have been raided by local police department. They often go in looking for information on, say, a murder, and end up taking notes on a totally unrelated crime,” said Piduccia. “This could reduce newspapers to unofficial, unpaid investigatory branches of police departments.” One of the most flagrant • cases, he feels, was an eight-hour search of a California radio station. “Why would police want to search a radio station for eight hours?” he queried. “ The Sian lord Daily case is one of three crucial cases in agiowing pattern of judicial decisions unfavorable to the press.

Those aims are a far cry from Huntington’s Latter page private Buying scared.. - Added strain Roy added that the erosion of research materials will put an added strain on the Inter-Library Loan office, through which students request materials from other libraries and have them sent to UB. “It used to be that we would lend more materials than we borrowed, now the situation is reversed,” Roy said. This marked increase in the use of the office means more personnel must be assigned to ease the burden. “Other services will not be available because I will have to move people to Inter-Library Loan,” Roy said. The Libraries also have come into conflict with SUNY Central in UB’s attempt tojjurchase a computerized circulation system. Roy said such a system would speed up all facets of the circulation department providing better service for students. “Albany, Binghamton and Stony Brook all have some type of computerized system,” he noted. “We have the money, but .for four years the project has been held up by SUNY Central for some reason.” Roy expressed hope that by the summer, SUNY will give the go-ahead for the installation of the there -continued from ... - apimendment conservatively.

The three anti-press decisions not only coincide with this shift in journalistic emphasis, they are now threatening to blunt it. —continued from page I— . . . State aid to independent institutions has increased at an even slower rate, he maintained. Paley said that private schools must raise tuition annually, and need more state aid to prevent, “excessive tuition increases.” “Inflation,” he said, “is the enemy more than each other.” The sources of aid to private institutions are the Tuition Assistant Program (TAP), and Bundy Aid, said DeSantis. Bundy Aid is awarded only to private colleges based on the number and type of degrees granted. This practice, DeSantis said, leads to the main complaint of public school officals against the Aid, since Bundy Aid does not , discriminate between in-state and out-of-state students. In SUNY schools, he noted, non-residents are charged more for tuition. Unrestricted revenue In addition, the Professional Staff Congress of CUNY (City University of New York) charged in a November ’78 report that private schools are “totally unaccountable for the expenditure of state aid.” Pauly .said independent schools must..file reports, on all state ai(l expenditures with the State Education Department, as do SUNY and CUNY. He admitted state schools are subject to'more stringent guidelines, suggesting that the guidelines may be too strict. But the CUNY report cited a State Education Department review of Bundy Aid which stated that “Most institutions tend to use Bundy Aid as unrestricted revenue.” DeSantis asserted that independent schools tend to have two sets of numbers, one for individual contributors and the other for the State. Alumni and financial backers are told the school is in the black, he said, and “then the schools go to the government and they’re sinking fast.” 1 DeSantis compared support of independent schools to a grocery requesting slate money for his private shop. “Privates have cleverly and successfully clouded the issue,” he said.' \ �classified \ L AD INFORMATION CLASSIFIEDS may be placed at ‘The Spectrum* office, 355 Squire Hall.

Tlie Love Canal Task Force never met Editor in Chief Obscured by the individual efforts of a handful of concerned faculty members is the University's almost total lack of involvement in the Love Canal crisis. Events surrounding the disintegration of the so-called Love Canal Task Force show that the Administration failed to follow up overtures from both residents in need of scientific expertise and faculty members willing to lend it. Administration spokesmen then misrepresented the causes of the Task Force’s futility, claiming the State had refused to cooperate when in fact no University official had ever contacted any State agency or requested any information. No University official will conceed that outside pressures have chilled the Administration’s attitude toward the Love Canal. But the ’disappearance of the Task Force has left a curious trail of twisted truths, uncalled meetings and general ambivaleiice in place of homeowners’ hopes for an independent pool of expertise to hlep them evaluate the State’s findings. — again. Lee never contacted Gibbs, Levine, or Beverly Paigen a Roswell Park cancer researcher who had also begun work on the Love Canal independently. Lee never — contacted the State’s own Love Canal Task Force, although Paigen said she presented him with a name and number of one of the group’s supervisors. The list of questions from the homeowners reflects their near-desperate, almost pathetic need for scientific expertise. According to Lee, some of the homeowners’ concerns were: “What level of chemicals in the air represents danger?”; “Are all 10 [the number of chemicals then known to exist in the Love Canal) being tested?”; and “We need medical personnel to evaluate the health tests.” Regional approach At the center of the action and is Dean of the School of Engineering George Lee, who was named to head the University’s Love Canal Task Force. The Tasjc Force, formed in August -*• inaction — after Love Canal Homeowners’ Association President Lois Gibbs appealed to the University for help, was quickly renamed the Environmental Task Force to take the focus off the Love Canal and emphasize Erie County Legislator William Pauly’s suggestion that the University get more involved in general environmental problems throughout the region. Lee shifted the emphasis of the Task Force away from a consultant-based function toward a more academic stance aimed at educating the public environmental problems. about Although he pledged to act as “a clearinghouse” or gp-between for residents in need of advice and faculty members prepared to provide it, the only professors actively working at the Love Canal have done so on their own initiative, without a calf from Lee. Legal complexities Moreover, a list of concerns the homeowners had sent to Lee and a list of faculty members who attended meetings of the Task Force as a show of interest in the Love Canal, have remained shelved for month's, essentially forgotten. At the Task Force’s first meeting in August, about 40 faculty members showed up from a wide range .of disciplines. ‘ Geography professor Charles Ebert, who had alreay begun research at the Canal site, called the inital meeting “very disorganized.” Ebert said that, although interest seemed to be high, much of the discussion centered around the legal complexities and dangers of getting involved in a sensitive dispute such as the Love Canal. The Task Force met again in late September, drawing about 20 interested faculty. Lee circulated a sheet asking for names and areas of expertise while Ebert gave a short report on his work at the Canal site. Sociology professor Adeline Mistrust of State Almost since the State declared the area a health hazard, residents have charged that the Health Department has been underestimating the toxic effect of the chemicals seeping beneath their homes. The list presented to Lee thus mirrors the homeowners’ well-publicized mistrust of the State’s research. In mid-October, the announcement came that the Love Canal Task Force had folded. WhyT University Public Affairs spokewoman Linda Grace-Kobas told The Spectrum 'than that the State had been uncooperative in furnishing information. “As of the morning of October 16,” she said, “we received no reports from the State.” Kobas neglected to mention that, to her, knowledge, no University official had ever asked for any such reports, or made any written contact with State officials. “No, there’s nothing .written down about anything,” Kobas told The Spectrum two months later. Robert Huffaker, -continued on page 2— Senate continues battle with SA; declares SWJ invalid by Elena Cacavas “The Senate, in effect, ruled to put themselves in a role,” Schwartz said. “It’s ridiculous, irrational and irresponsible.” He cited section II, Article 2 of the SA consitution that establishes SWJ’s jusirdiction in matters concerning the constitutionality of any any of SUNY Campus editor judicial In another four-hour marathon session Monday the Siudent Association (SA) Senate overwhelmingly voted to postpone SA elections for new officers until April, while at the same time voting to invalidate the November 1978 general elections callecf by then SA President Richard Mott. Senate leaders, continuing a legislative war with the SA officers, apparently feel that their vote to invalidate the November elections removes the cuitent SA administration from office and installs the old regime until April. The November elections were ruled legal and valid by the Student Wide Judiciary (SWJ) but the Senate has refused to recognize SWJ’s authority. Those November elections have been the subject of unusual legislation before. The Senate, seeking every way to prevent the current administration from taking office, actually \pted to postpone the elections one month after they were completed. Monday’s action simply rules those elections “invalid.” The invalidation motion, proposed by Senator Turner Robinson r who ran unsuccessfully for Executive Vice President in the November elections —' also creates a ten member “Senate committee” to oversee and check-up on the executive committee. The Student-Wide Judiciary (SWJ) has been a continual thorn in the Senate’s side ever since the deposed officers brought suit in an effort to stop the November elections and lost the case to Schwartz. Since SWJ has approved the elections the Senate feels are invalid, the Senate has simply declared SWJ invalid, voting to. not recognize the body’s authority over any Association student governments. The Senate, by establishing a ten-member “Seftate committee” to oversee the SA officers, has also claimed some power from the executive branch to go with their new judicial “responsibilities.” “If the student body knew what went on at these Senate meetings,” Schwartz said, “they would become even more disenchanted.” In another eletion-oriented issue, an amendment was to the election rules directing all University organizations, and to avoid clubs, publications “influencing” SA campaigns with public endorsements. The amendment is subject to approval by the SA "■Op*«*Uons and Rules committee (O&R). Although the obvious target of the endorsement amendment is The Spectrum, the Senate also took steps to wipe out the paper by passing a petition for referendum proposed months ago by 37-year-old activitst Michael Levionson. The Senate’s action will senators hope put the referendum before the student body. recommended — - Springer — matter. Inside: ‘No comment—P. 3 / _ Repotting- on the actions within the SA Springer Steering Committee, Executive Committee member Scott Jiusto rSviewed. a statement concerning “grandfather clauses'” which will be submitted to the Division of Undergraduate Education Curriculum Committee for approval. According to Jiusto, the clauses gain support from the fact that students in the system now will be Rosenblatt-Roth—P. SJJFascination—Pp. 9-11 / “punished” by the charges implemented through Springer when original program requirements are altered. Arguing that Springer (will not only hurt those already at this University, but also freshmen who have made a comriTltment based on literatures which indicate that UB operates under the four course load system, the steering committee will, according the Jiusto, pursue the issue through the courts. He told the Senate on Monday that the committee is seeking an injunction against the Univeristy seeking to halt Springer implementation in the Fall of 1979. In reference to the UUAB Music Committee’s over-expenditure of funds dtiring the first semester and what some senators termed Sub Board I’s failure to properly monitor and report on the Comrtiittee’s activity, a resolution was passed to form a group to investigate “the feasibility for SA to continue its contract with Sub Board 1 under UUAB.” Vice President of Sub Board I Jane Baum moved to pass the resolution by acclamation. Settlement negotiations A concrete decision was made on the four year law suit between Cavages and the UB Record Co-op. Passed by acclamation was a motion that SA lawyer Richard Lippes proceed with negotiations for an out-of-court settlement for a period of 30 days, during which he will consult with the co-op and Senate. If after that time the negotiations are unsuccessful, Lippes will immediately proceed with litigation. Although certain that SA will win either way, Lippes recommended settlement through negotiation. “If we go to trial it could take two or three years before litigation ends,” he said. Proponents of the litigation, however, cited the importance of the precendent of a commerical body suing a student organization. Three pages of Valentines (Have a happy!)—Pp. 16-18 �A» t E 3 Follow-up fouled up Direclof of the Division *of, Mt>s for the Slate Health Department said that: “Anyone with any sort of official standing and has asked for something, we have given —continued from page Deputy judgement. it to them.” Geography professor Ebert said that he explained, was the specter *m *wing subpeonaed for court testimony and seeing a scientific opinion misused by a pressing attorney. “The University is not set up to give quick answers to general questions,” has maintained a smooth working relationship with thd State. "Everything I’ve asked for I've gotten. They have been mpre cooperative." He said he doubted the Task Force resistance had Levine both discussion of would have encountered it requested data. Ebert and said that there was no difficulties dealing with the State at either meeting of the Task Force. Back of minds The second reason Grace-Kobas gave for the Task Feme's disintegration was a lack of faculty interest. She said that since the State, and not the University, is performing the research, many scientists here are hestitant to work with someone else's data. “It’s been a problem to get these people together,” Grace-Kobas told The Spectrum in December. “Some people are reluctant.” When pressed for specific faculty who expressed trepidation about getting involved, Grace-Kobas said no one had actually told her of such a hesitation. “It's just probably in the back of people's minds,” she observed. “There are things a lot less heavy than this that people are reluctant to get involved in.” Lee could not explain why there was no third meeting but he did agree that some faculty had been reluctant. Many professors, Lee said, feared that they may be called upon for an opinion without enough facts to make a sound, reasonable Coupled with Lee explained. Ebert scoffed at the notion that scientists would, be trapped into giving hurried or incomplete opinions. “I have been in that situation many times,” Ebert observed. "And I simply say: *i can’t answer that’.” v Lack of leadership Paigen, who since the Task Force break-up has become a full-time consultant to the Love Canal Homeowners' Association, insisted that the University could have been a valuable resource in exploring the Love Canal. “Certainly,” she said, “there are a group of faculty members on campus who are interested. The Task Force could have been terrific. “Lee chose to play a limited role,” Paigen continued. “That was the deliberate choice he made. I would have hoped they would have taken a more active role.” Ebert, who has provided both the State and the residents with his findings and had flown to Albany to attend Health Department meetings as an informal consultant, told The Spectrum the Task Force broke apart because of a “lack of leadership.” “There was no third meeting.

This engagement drew only five spectators though 5000 bagels were ordered to feed the expected audience. 1 Ins was perhaps the first indication of Baird Point’s slide into obscurity. Early in the fall University President Robert L. Ketter annointed Baird Point with his State of the University address.

Students are also confused and bewildered as to Baird Point’s value. One student expressed a common opinion when she said, “I live in the Ellicott Complex on the Amherst Campus so I see it a lot. It looks really nice at night when it’s lit up, but it’s still just’a lot of concrete to me.” Asked to describe what she’d like to do at Baird Point, the A senior architecture student responded in a more serious tone; “No one can argue aesthetic quality or preference.

Random comments on Baird Point ranged from, “Must think my dog could lift a leg in high style there . .” “It’ll be really great when they complete the building that goes with the pillars”. - . x __ .

As a CUS representative, he said he found no reason to get upset with Ketter this year and complimented the President or fighting the proposed SUNY-wide tuition increase. Johnson, who is also an Anthropology professor, did admit that “there are certainly a number of directions the University could take if there were some sense of very strong leadership.” Sitting calmly in the eye of this mild storm is the University President himself, who seems rather unfazed byit all.

Instead, most preferred to either make superficial remarks about the charges, or chose simply to disregard the subject entirely, issuing those familiar, terse “no comments.” Acting Master of Rachel Carson College Peter Gold claimed that he “thought the Annual Report was pretty clear” and refused to comment on Ketter’s alleged negative style. When asked whether the President had given the Colleges adequate support, Gold said simply that “policy is made in a complicated way,” but he did admit that the Colleges have not received the University-wide recognition they deserve. Acting Director of Cora P. Maloney College Merle Hoyte said she jjas no comment on' the charges made by Spitzberg, claiming the statements made by the former Dean are “his opinion”. Acting Dean of the Colleges Claude Welch said he had no official comment on the matter ofKetter’s resignation. Welch, who doubles as Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, was not convinced of Spitzberg’s that the University’s power base is characterized by people who view themselves as administrators and not leaders. He also remarked that Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald R.

Parker Editing The Final Draft Once you have understood the writing task, read, taken notes, searched your thinking through p re-writing, and drafted and drafted again, you have arrived at the second-last stage of the writing process, the final draft. At this-point a few fortunate writers have produced a clean copy in the appropriate academic form with few errors. Most of us, though, must now attend to the last stage of the composing the transformation process from handwriting to type print. At The Writing Place, we have expert typists who are trained to assist writers in editing their own manuscripts; but our procedure can be followed with any reader who has a good command of the conventions of print. Editing is not tossing the final draft on the table and returning to pick up a clean, corrected copy; that’s getting the paper typed. Editing is a dialogue between a writer and a critical, candid reader who will attend to the details of - academic form as well as general meaning. To use an editor as an effective reader in the transformation of the final draft into a typed manuscript, we suggest the following steps: 1. Request the editor to read a short paper aloud. If the paper is longer than five pages, select portions to be read aloud. During the reading, listen for missing words, garbled sentences, and general intelligibility of the paper. If the editor stumbles over a sentence in the reading, consider revising that sentence. • 2. Ask the editor if the paper makes sense. Ask which parts were the most difficult to understand. Ask the editor to tell you what the “point” of the paper is. Listen to hear whether your intended meaning was communicated. If you find youself explaining a great deal, you may need to be more explicit in your paper. Perhaps you need clear examples of general statements. 3. Request the editor to locale errors in spelling, punctuation, verb tense and agreement, pronoun case and agreement Ask to have footnotes and bibliography entries checked carefully. If you are using a particular academic style sheet, bring it with you for reference. Otherwise, use a standard style such as Harbrace College Handbook. 4. Once errors have been located, you correct them. Use a dictionary, a writer’s handbook, and a style guide. If you are unable to make a particular dbrrdction, ask to have the error explained and then correct it. 5. At this point, our editing typists do an exact copy of the final draft, including any uncorrccted errors. You may wish to have a typist consult you if more errors are located. 6. When you get the typed manuscript, it's tempting to be so pleased with its clean and orderly appearance that you -continued on page 8— Sews Editor Student Treasurer revealed Association Jim Killigrew that (SA) has SA student undergraduate government and financial backer has reaped $41,000 of activities less tha* the $439,000 expected revenue total for the last semester. - Each semester. SA receives $35 per student in mandatory activity fees collected by the University through its billing procedure. The fees are turned bi-weekly by oyer to SA the University’s Chief Accountant. This money, along with an additional $30,000 received from other- sources-such, as a fall orientation activity fee,' student account for the government’s total revenues. that the Chief Accountant’s Office has yet to hand over the money of Killigrew explained 1200 students, leaving a $41,000 gap between last semester’s expected and received revenues. Killigrew told The Spectrum that he expects the outstanding fees will be obtained. He said, “Most of the money approximately DCTROIT, MICHIGAN ® 1*7* Watching the cash flow fiercely comes from people who wasted until the last minute to clear their Bursar’s Cheekstop.” Mercy, mercy Last year, SA received close to percent of its, expected revenues according to Killigrew. Although the treasurer expects this year’s figures to be about the same, he said, “We are at the mercy of the Chief Accountant’s Office in getting money from people who haven’t paid.” Killigrew claimed that SA would receive the outstanding revenues by the middle of this month. He said, “The money should come in from people who didn’t pay until they registered for this semester.” 97 Killigrew noted that SA has or over committed $500,000. He said the student spent government has actually spent $423,000 and has encountered an additional $82,000 in expenses. Although this totals over half a million dollars and SA has only received about $430,000 to date, Killigrew explained that there really is not a problem with SA’s ability to pay outstanding debts. He said, “The creditors are not knocking down my door. I’m only paying things that need to be paid right now, and I’m holding off until Friday when this semester’s revenue starts to come in.” Close eye Killigrew said there are two low time periods fro SA’s cash balance one in early October and one right now. Because the government has yet to receive revenues for this semester, — presently there is only about its cash balance, he $i 0,000 in explained. However/ / financial SA’s soon turn to wealth. Killigrew exorbitant $200,000 in about expects revenues by the end of this week in the semester’s fees from the UB’s Accountant. He said, “Last October our first receipt from revenues was close to $189,000.” Killigrew maintained that the current low in funds has not had any effect on SA’s spending habits. No allocations to SA s poverty “/$ that cash or charge?” will * organizations have been altered, he said, “However, we’re watching the cash flow something fiercely.” In fact, Killigrew said that SA’s budget this year is more on target than last year. Last April, because of a miscalculation in student enrollment expectations, SA was faced with a $47,000 budget deficit after all revenue was collected. Killigrew said that this year, although not meet its the University, did expected overall enrollment figures. SA appears to have budgeted on target. �Ketter cites lack of contributions I To recommend or not? Decision on Rosenblatt-Roth expected within six weeks Ol Law students question Appointment Committee by Bonnie Gould Spectrum Staff Writer IK The latest in a series of charges levelled against Statistics professor Millu Rosenblatt-Roth now awaits an arbitrator’s decision, expected in six weeks. by Brad Bermudez r Special Features Editor Students, angry over the looming departure of a popular professor, informally with members of UB Law School’s Faculty Appointment Committee Monday in an effort to disctiss and clarify the criteria used to assess faculty candidates. The poorly attended meeting (only four faculty members were present) was organized in response to student protest over the Committee’s refusal to recommend visiting professor of Criminal Procedure Abraham Abrmovski for a three year non-tenured teaching position. While the Committee does not make final appointment decisions, its recommendations are weighed heavily. Sentiment Voiced by several students present indicated that Abromovski had earned respect for his ability to convey pratical knowledge of the workings of law an aspect of teaching that, in the words of one student, “this law school sorely lacks.” Committee Chairman George Priest assured the students that practical knowledge gained through work in the field of law is a consideration in the appointment of a candidate. He outlined other general considerations in the committee's selection process, such as how the candidate will fit in with other faculty members, what the curricular needs of the Law School are, and how much the candidate will contribute to the growth of the faculty. Said Priest, “We try to get as much evidence as possible that indicates whether the candidate will contribute to the academic advancement of the Law School.” To do this, according to Priest, the committee evaluates the candidate’s work in the field of research, observes his conduct in the classroom, and investigates students’ evaluations. met At a hearing last Thursday, Rosenblatt-Roth was formally charged with using his office as a residence, but both sides contend that a, much larger issue is involved than merely sleeping on a desk. - Rosenblatt-Roth denied the charges, linking them not only to anti-semitism, but to a larger ‘'conspiracy” on the part of the University. Assistant to the President Ron Stein claims that the real issue is Rosfenblatt-Roth’s refusal to abide by “reasonable regulations of the University, and his performance as a faculty member.” The hearing revolved arourtd a dismissal order signed by UB President Robert Ketter, which noted that Rosenblatt-Roth was observed sleeping on his desk on February 25, 1978 at 2 a.m. and was seen wandering the halls of 4230 Ridge Lea on March 2 at 4 a.m. Using an office as a reisdence violated the health code of the Town of Amherst and the University’s contract with the owners of Ridge Lea. highlighted by the appearances of Ketter and the two University Police officers who allegedly found Rosenblatt-Roth asleep at his desk at the Ridge Lea Campus. Thomas Santoro, Assistant SUNY Counsel, represented the University. s Ketter, who was subpoenaedby defense Counsel Eugene Kaufman, testified that Rosenblatt-Roth was uncooperative and did not contribute to the faculty, citing of insufficient examples publication, inability to bring in grants, and complaints from students regarding the professor’s grading policies. Ketter was then questioned by Kaufman as to why none of the ‘Get him out’ many charges levelled against On the Rosenblatt-Roth, present and Thursday,' Administration’s testimony was past, were issued for the reasons mentioned above by Ketter. Rosenblatt-Rolh contends that Ketter then “leaned over and said ‘I want him out’,” Stein denies that _Ketter made such a statement. University Police officers Thomas Cacker and Gordon Boughner testifies that they were ordered by their shift lieutenant to see if Rosenblatt-Roth was sleeping in his office at 5 p.m. on February 28. After questining a janitor, who claimed that he had Rosenblatt-Roth several seen hours before, the two officers opened the professor’s office door. The officers claimed they saw a motionless body lying on the desk with its back to the door, though they did not switch the lights on. The officers said they did not attempt to awaken the —continued on Commuter Day Wednesday. February 14th Commuter Breakfast -Fillmore Room, Squire Hall 8 am 12 noon 10c Donuts Free Beverages - - page 8— Teaching power One student expressed concern over the amount of influence exerted by the two student Committee an influence he believed to be minimal. Priest said that it was impossible to make a generalization about the influence any individual members have, but said, “The committee for the most part tries to proceed on the basis of consensus. Each person has an equal opportunity to voice his feelings.” Another subject of student concern was the importance Committee members place on the candidates’ “scolarship” (amount of research or writing). Law Professor William Greiner said that teaching and reserach should not be considered separately when evaluating a teacher’s performance and that evaluations of teaching ability have not been overshadowed by those of research output. Said Greiner, “We’ve worked harder and longer at evaluating teaching efforts of the faculty. We want to know that the person teaching has something to teach.” — Cooperation Greiner elaboratied on another factor in faculty recommendations. “In- the last few years,” he said, “The School has been moving toward greater cooperative effort between the faculty. There needs to be some sense that a new addition will add to the synergistic effort; how will he add to the collaborative effort?” Although none of the professors present would divulge the specific for Abromovski’s rejection. Priest offered an explanatipn, saying, “It wasn’t a statement that he can’t add to the faculty, but given the few positions available and our needs, we felt we could not recommend him.” According to Priest, the emphasis of the faculty this year is on enriching the School. “Because of the increased status of the Law School, we have the opportunity to look at a wider range of reasons candidates,” he said.

They are presented in a light-hearted, off-beat style because that is the only way we can bear to look at them. . Ladies and Gentlemen, your Student Association Senate The Senate votes to postpone elections held three weeks before. That's three weeks before the postponement, folks. The measure of the postponement's effect will have to wait presumably forever. The Senate votes to destroy The Spectrum, and institute in its place a new student newspaper run by a few Senators who feel up -to it. The Spectrum somehow . . — — — continues on. The Senate votes to establish an "oversight committee" to insure that the SA officers adhere to the constitution. Although such an "oversight committee" clearly violates the SA constitution's separation between legislative and executive branches, the Senators get around that by installing themselves as the final judges on what is and is not constitutional. The Senate rules the November 1978 elections invalid and reinstalls the old officers, most of whom hkve drifted into obscurity. There is a small road block which must be cleared away, however, since the Student Wide Judiciary (SWJ) the judicial branch of student government has already ruled the election valid and legal. This, however, proved to be no real handicap as the Senate voted to declare SWJ invalid! Years of tradition are suddenly scuttled by the action and the SA Senate now emerges at the ultimate, all-powerful force in student government. All this despite reality, which is decidely against the Senators and does not appear ready to surrender. The Senat?, not content with the rape of one constitution, tries its hand at another and emerges with a smile and a sanction against The Spectrum, seeking to prevent the newspaper from exercising freedom of the press rights in endorsing candidates. No one really knows what this reinterpretation of the U.S. Constituion will eventually mean; only that SWJ will not be the body deciding. The Senate, after trying to prevent The Spectrum from exercising its rights, decides that a better way would be to remove those rights along with the rest of the newspaper. Hence it decides again to attempt a dissolution of The Spectrum, this time by putting the issue before the students as a referendum. It is not entirely clear why this attempt will succeed where the other failed; but it is assumed we assume that the Senate can simply declare it a success no matter what reality says. The Senate, still with no final solution to the annoying intrusion of reality, decides to go ahead and meet every week anyway, apparently hoping that the Reality issue will solve itself. Onward! Over-articulate To the Editor. For-someone who admonishes everyone about the wasteland of television. The Spectrum writer Ross Chapman seems to waste much of his time perusing the weekly offerings. No one needs Mr. Chapman to warn them that movies shown on television lose their original gripping impact. This copious column last Friday was an unnecessary elaboration of that simple truism. Mr. seems Chapman meticulously instruct us how to react to a film more than describing the film’s content. Certainly content and reaction are inseparable, but Chapman’s smug and unctuous tone is often a poor combination of philosophy and film criticism. I am not underestimating Mr. Chapman’s skill an observer or a student of film. But his over-articulateness, subjective effusiveness, and moral rectitude are a definite turn-off.

We are demanding that you consider these few choice words, and make an apology to the many people you have offended because it is definitely warranted. printed, This article is in response to a recent drawing that appeared next to the article entitled “King’s Non-Violent Politics Seen As Testimony To His True Genius” in Monday’s issue of The Spectrum. The drawing is a poor characterization of the features of the late great Dr. King. We feel that if you cannot reproduce the true features of a person for whatever reason, the picture should not be „ Black Student Union Resourceful Rosenblatt-Roth To the Editor. enormous I would like to reply to a letter presented in Monday’s edition of The Spectrum by two graduate students in the Department of Statistics. Leading Professor Dr. Millu Rosenblatt-Roth is indeed “one of our most respected resources.” He was educated at Moscow University under the tutoring of the leading thinker in the field of Probability Theory. This indeed, if nothing else, makes him a valuable addition to the faculty and staff of our diverse university. Scheduling is most definitely a manipulated practice at this University. The computer doesn’t program itself, it takes a responsible individual to carefully, and with definite predetermination, implement the scheduling of our courses. Also, Dr. Rosenblatt is not morally obligated to be in Brooklyn for the Sabbath, he is legally obligated! He is legally bound by the custody proceedings involved with his daughter to keep her in Brooklyn; therefore to be with his child and fulfill his religious obligations he must be in Brooklyn on the weekend. Are you aware this man spends administration does. As far as Dr. Rosenblatt’s obligation to this University, 1 don’t think anyone can contend that he is not fulfilling his. The requirement, 1 believe, at this University for a Professor is to teach two courses. He more than fulfills this obligation in his 101 course, for consecutive semesters it has been limited to the size of the room it has been held in. As far as being an “easy A” course, it might very well be. And 1 urge everyone to take it or to hear the man out, before you leave this haven of educational experience. The three weeks I spent listening to this man was definitely fruitfull. His philosophy is unequaled, there is no obligation to learn in his class and he doesn’t tell you how to think either. Dr, Rosenblatt-Roth lays the foundation for a logical approach to Probability, if you want anything elt-you won’t get it and I don’t think you should in an introductory course! Thank you for the opportunity to view my opinion. sums of money, and expends great emotional strife to ■ fulfill these multivariable obligations; you can bet your last dollar the Richard M. Orlan Hindsight and foresight To the Editor To be uneducated is a terrible thing, but to spend thousands of dollars to attend a university and still be uneducated is an outright shame. 1 am referring to the three shallow thinkers who wrote about Mr. Nelson Rockefeller in February 12th's issue of The Spectrum. How anyone can call Mr. Rockefeller a “greedy capitalist politician” is beyond me. Did Mr. Pressman bother to look up what Mr. Rockefeller has done for the “only useful class in the working class”? Obviously not, or he society would realize, along with Mr. Name Withheld, that Rocky voted against the $1.50 minimum wage law to keep the already spiraling unemployment rate from going any higher. Tell me Mr. Pressman, what good is a working class that doesn’t work? Another issue taken out of context in Monday’s letters was Attica. Hindsight is always better than foresight gentlemen. It is easy for us to say that Rocky handled the situation all wrong now, but at the time he was backed into a comer - Evil triumph over good To the Editor. Wake up professors or you may be next on the Administration’s list. Our University Administration continued to wage its unscrupulous war against Prof. Rosenblatt-Roth this past week. Prof. Rosenblatt-Roth was notified that his two teaching assistants were being removed from his Stat 101 recitations and that he, a world renowned professor, would have to personally teach his Stat 101 recitations. How many of you Other professors would like to spend your time teaching recitations and correcting 247 homework papers a week? If you let the Administration get away with this now, University then they will try it again. I would also like to know why the Statistics Department did not supply a substitute, for Ptof. Rosenblatt-Roth, when he was on trial Thursday and Friday. They did not even have the decency to post a notice saying that class was canceled, even though they had known for two months that Prof. Rosenblatt-Roth wouldn’t be there. I am afraid that if we, the students and professors, continue to remain apathetic toward the policies of our Administration, then we will see, evil triumph over good. Craig R. Snyder UB Athletics inside and out To the Editor 1 am writing in response to Larry Steele’s Guest Opinion which appeared in the Wednesday, February 1, 19.79 issue of The Spectrum. As a three year member, of the Women’s Varsity Field Hockey team and two year member of the Women’?- Varsity Basketball team, I have observed at least part of UB’s women’s athletic program from the ‘inside-out*. In his opinion, Mr. Steele was interested in deriving reasons for the lack of athletic support. He stated that “the Athletic Department would be interested in those reasons since there exists a desire to develop and promote an attractive, successful athletic program’’. It has been my experience, within the sphere of Women’s athletics, that there is a general lack of concern for the individual athletes. The administration has been unresponsive to the Student athletes. In an institute of higher education such as UB, a certain amount of give and take between the academia and athletic .personnel is necessary. In the past I have found my professors very responsive to my needs as a student-athlete. My professors have been very understanding when situations arise that take me out of the class room to attend athletic contests. Unfortunately, this understanding attitude is not reciprocated by the athletic personnel. We are no longer viewed as student first, athlete second. The three years previous to the advent of the present administration saw virtually no ineligible players. For example, the Women’s Basketball team; 1973-74 team QPA 3.3 6/13 on dean’ list 1974-75 team QPA 3.1 1975-76 team QPA 3.1 In fact these standards were met without any formal regulation about athletic eligibility. Only over the past few years has with very few alternatives. While his decision may not have been ideal, it was much better than no decision at all, which was what was being advocated at the time. I could go on and show the faulty logic in each of the letters, but what good would it do? Obviously the letters were written on the basis of personal feelings and not facts. Mr. Rockefeller was not perfect, and maybe he doesn’t deserve to have this university renamed afty him, but he was not a greedy tyrant either. To bring, up a family issue (the coal miner’s incident involving John D. Rockefeller in 1914') and call it relevant to a man who was governor of New York State forty-four years later is ludicrous. To complain that Mr. Rockefeller did not endow this university with grants even though the Rockefeller Foundation supports many academic and fine arts programs here in New York State is absurd I hate to be the one to tell you gentlemen, but you’re wasting your money because obviously your education is doing you no good. It’s people like you who put people like Hugh Carey in office. - the minima) 2.0 QPA standard been introduced. In the past two basketball seasons there have been eight incidents of ineligibility. Individual QPA’s have been, in some cases, as low as 0.00 and 0.78. The past few years have also seen the beginning of the implimentation. of Title IX, legislation prohibiting sex-discrimination in education. This has led to recruitment in Women’s athletics for the first time. The question arises, what has caused this sudden drop in academic excellence? Are we recruiting athlete-students? Has the new administration’s pojicies facilitated the athlete first attitude? Maybe a combination of both, maybe factors I have not brought to bear. Although similar situations can be found among the other athletic teams, I will stay with an area In which I have personal experience. Over the course of the 1977-78 season, Women’s Basketball team lost six members due to scholastic ineligibility. The administration simply does not care enough about the athletes in their program. They write off the casualties of the 1977-78 basketball season, as generals do their lost soldiers. Thirteen players, one senior, three returned. Three are left on compus watching their last year(s) of eligibility slip away. What of the other seven? One transferred, the rest have just disappeared. It is for those women I expecially write this editorial. Those numbers to the administration, are human beings to me. I survived, 1 will graduate from UB, they will not. Maybe, just maybe, when the administration starts caring about the athletes, the students will start caring about Athletics.

It seems entirely inappropriate to name such a transient phenomenon as SUNYAB in honor of Nelson Rockefeller. In a few hundred years, SUNYAB will be dust. However, for at least 100,000 years there will be a glowing memorial to Rockefeller at the West Valley reprocessing plant. Therefore, it seems far more fitting to name that installation: “The Nelson Rockefeller Eternal Shrine to Nuclear Radiation at West Valley”. Future generations can bring their children with malformations, leukemia, or other genetic damage for burial at this Rockefeller shrine. Irwin D.J. Brass. PhD Director of Biostatistics Roswell Park Memorial Institute i Nl �'Divide the ranks' I Tuition hike may affect only freshmen, sophs E f The Student Association of the State University (SASU) has termed the latest tuition hike proposal a method to “divide the ranks” of protesting students. Originally, State officials have discussed a $100 across the board increase. Friday, however. State University of New York (SUNY) Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton proposed a $150 increase exclusively for lower division freshmen and sophomore students unless the State Legislature ups the SUNY budget by $9.1 million. “The worst thing is that it’s politically divisive for students,” noted SASU Vice President for Campus Affairs Larry Mullin, “It’s a shrewd political move.” Mullin said by forcing an increase only on freshmen and sophomores, the Chancellor hopes to cool some of the heated student opposition to the hike. SASU Communication Director Libby Post explained that the only presently enrolled students to be hit with the increase will be the freshmen, “But we’ll keep fighting,” she asserted. Upper Division students Guniors and seniors) have always paid more than lower division students. If the increase goes through, tuition costs for the first two years will leap from $750 to $900 a 20 percent increase. The hike will equalize tuition fees for all students. - — St. Valentine's Day Disco Dance Contest prizes awarded for Best Dancers Than.

Happy Hour 7:30-9:00 - SUNY commitments Chairman of the SUNY Board of Trustees Donal M. Blinken said Friday was the first time a tuition increase proposal has been officially brought before the Board. While the Trustees are the only body that can authorize a hike. State officials acknowledge that Governor Carey’s Executive Budget can pressure the Board to raise tuition or cut programs. The Board has not yet approved the newly proposed hike itself, he said, but rather passed a motion that Chancellor Wharton “explain our predicament to the Legislature.” Blinken said the Board is hesitant to vote on the hike until the Legislature decides whether to grant the additional $9.1 million later this mQnth. The money is needed for construction and various services, he said. “It all boils down to how much of a commitment the State has to SUNY in direct funds,” Blinken commented. Mullin said the State hopes to avoid unnecessary attrition by maintaining the present tuition level for juniors and seniors. Attrition, or dropping out, is a growing problem, he said, adding that SUNY fears more students will leave in the face of steeper costs. But, he argued, “The hike will cause an enrollment decline at the freshmen and sophomore levels,” possibly off-setting any reduction in attrition.

And that brings us up to today. - Commentary 1 by Ross Chapman Contributing Editor Christmas Eve, 100,000 regular troops of the Army of Vietnam aided by 15-20,000 Hanio-backed insurgents poured into the small Southeast Asian nation of Cambodia. Within three, weeks, the Vietnamese juggernaut had rolled across the countryside all .the way to the Thai border. Almost every city, town, highway, and airfield fell into the hands of the invaders. The government of Prime Ministre Pol Pot, a regime suspected of great cruelty and barbarity, dispersed into the jungles vowing to carry on a guerilla war against the Vietnamese, a war which has continued ferociously until On People’s the present time. The Hanio-engineered invasion of its “fraternal socialist neighbor” has made the, political situation in East Asia exceedingly brittle. With the fall of Phnom Penh, the balance of power shifted suddenly in favor of Vietnam. This has a number of people worried. Most noticeable, is the vexation of Peking officials who suddenly find themselves with a contentious military force on their southern flank. China, which has an almost hysterical fear of Soviet encirclement, feels particularly threatened by the pro-Soviet bias of Vietnam. And while the ties between Hanoi and Moscow do not constitute a military alliance, the supporj of the adventuristic Russians no doubt encourages Vietnam’s own military adventures and thus justifies, in part, Peking’s fears, Futhermore, the Soviet position has most certainly been advanced, especially since the Chinese have found it necessary to divert military forces and equipment away from the Soviet Union.' These great-power manuevers have led some to claim, erroneously 1 believe, that the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia, an ally of China, was executed for the purpose of consolidating the Soviet position in Indochina. In response to Hanoi’s lightning conquest, the Carter Administration, wjrich has recently inaugurated cozy diplomatic relations with Peking, denounced Vietnam’s “abhorrent agression” and accused the Soviet Union of fighting a “proxy war” against China using -Vietnam and Cambodia as opposing pawns. Hunger and exhaustion One notes however that this protest is made without much enthusiasm. This is due, no doubt, to the fact that the Pol Pot regime has been charged with genocide against its own people. Estimates of the exact number differ, but whether it be one or two million, it is almost certain that a great number of people were exterminated by the Communist government of Pol Pot. The testimonies, of refugees from all provinces in the country are depressingly reiterative. The picture these reports paint is a bloody, tear-soaked montage of a draconian experiment in social engineering. -» Immediately upon the fall of Phnom Penh in April of 1975, the victorious Khmer Rouge rebels forced the inhabitants of Cambodia’s cities on a long march into the countryside. The very young, the old, and the sick were not exempt. Many died of hunger and exahustion. Many were beaten to death. Others were shot. People were sent into agrarian communes rigidly controlled by Khmer Rouge troops. Families were separated; marriage and sex were banned on pain of death. Incessant waves of purges and more random killings claimed untold lives. The Cambodia of Pol Pot has been described as a “mobile Gulag” in which the populace was reduced to an aggregate of labor gangs shuttled coercively about the country to work on various riyal construction projects. The expressed purpose for the brutal deurbanization was the dissipation of spies, dissidents and “subversive bourgeois groups.” wealthy merchants, military officers, anyone skilled local officials, technicians, the educated was killed off. By in organization and modernization — — the fohner vanguards of progress and by dispersing the general population into small, tightly tethered collectives, Pol Pot hoped to quell resistance to his regime. The true intent behind Cambodia’s radical agrarianism was a selfish, political desire to consolidate murdering power. Southeast Asia engulfed by war again—Vietnamese subdue Cambodia Blood soaked Pol Pot regime toppled in wake of Vietnamese lightening push—power balance in Southeast Asia destabilized 11 Ross Chapman trying his hand at foreign affairs examines the recent developments in Cambodia: the atrocities, the Vietnamese invasion and commentary international reaction to it, pointing up the fact that the late events are a result of longstanding historical antagonisms and Soviet-Chinese rivalry. It is not, Ross emphasizes, merely a "proxy war. He implies that certainly the new regime cannot, no matter how hard it tries, be worse than its murderous predecessor. Also in Fascination this week is an article by Harvey Shapiro on the possibility of a return appearance of the energy crisis as a result of the turmoil in Iran that Iws cut off its much needed oil exports. The spectre of gas rationing and Sunday pump closings loom along the darkening horizon. And finally there is an article by myself on the newly emerged Chinese-American relationship. ” This is the government that Vietnam ousted. Cruel, vicious, and murderous, it is now gone thanks- to the Vietnamese invasion. How abhorrent can aggression be against such a regime? Not very, if you value human life over territorial integrity. However, it would be foolhardy to infer that Vietnam conquered Cambodia because of a humanitarian desire to stem the bloodbath. The emnities between the Cambodian and Vietnamese people run deep into history. In the 13th century, Cambodia was a great empire encompassing much of present day Thailand and South Vietnam, with its capital at the famed Angkor Wat. But continual attacks by the Siamese and the Annamites (a warlike people of Vietnam’s Central Highlands) gradually deflated the Khmer Empire, Only the intervention of the total French 1860 prevented Cambodia’s in dismemberment. Though Cambodians maintain a deep distrust of Siam (now Thailand), their hatred of Annam which by is truly conquest came to be all of present day Vietnam profound. This is because Siam merely sent viceroys to rule conquered provinces, while Annam sent in settlers in an attempt to swallow Cambodian culture. Furthermore, while the Thais have posed only a lesser challenge to Cambodian soverignty in recent years, Vietnam continued to be a significant threat. In their war for independence, the Khmer Issaraks fought almost Cambodian rebels as much against the North Vietnamese as they did the French. The Viet Minh, lead by Ho Chi Minh, claimed to fight fo; the interests of all Indochina when in fact they represented bnly North Vietnam. Their treachery was made plain when the Viet Minh and orth Vietnamese invaded regulars northeast Cambodia after Prince Norodom Sihanouk gained independence from France in October of 1953. Sihanouk charted a neutral course for the country avoiding any involvement in the growing conflict between North and South Vietnam. This was necessary since Sihanouk knew that Cambodia would be ravaged if it was drawn into a war with more powerful forces. Sihanouk was able to maintain a fragile balance between Communist and pro-Western interests for almost 20 years. It was outside forces that finally ended Cambodia’s neutrality and brought Cambodia into the war Sihanouk had mightily labored to avoid. During the 60s, the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese used areas of Cambodian near the South Vietnamese border as “sanctuaries” from which they could attack American and Soth Vietnamese positions. While Sihanouk was never at ease with the presence of these forces, he closed his eyes to them, realizing that only a bloody war would remove them. A tacit agreement developed between Phnom Penh and the Viet Cong: Sihanouk would leave them alone and the Viet Cong would stay in the border areas. — — — — No appeal But the secret and illegal bombing of these sanctuaries by the U.S. upset this equilibrium. Between March of 1969 and May of 1970, the U.S. flew 3695 missions into Cambodia dropping 105,837 tons of explosives. From the awful devastation, the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese deeper into Cambodia. Sihanouk’s carefully retreated fashioned neutrality was caught in a rapidly closing vice. He had to choose. But Sihanouk was never to make this decision for himself. In March of 1970, while in Moscow, Sihanouk was deposed in a bloodless coup lead by pro-Western Lon Nol. Immediately, Lon Nol launched a war against the Communists. Cambodia began to die. For all its incendiary diligence, the American bombing failed to end Cambodia’s use as a base and supply route against South Vietnam. Nixon and Kissinger felt a ground invasion was necessary. So, on April 29, 1970, without consulting Congress or even Phnom Penh, Nixon ordered .30,000 U.S. and South Vietnamese troops across the Cambodia border. The invasion was assessed as a victory. In fact, however, the incursion succeeded only in spreading Vietnamese forces across Cambodia and in swelling the ranks of the Khmer Rouge, Cambodia’s Communist - guerilla army. v Communism never held any particular appeal for the —continued ort page li— �o i E3 Commentary Vice Premier Teng tours U.S. —nations set up ties, corporations ‘eye’ China reality. For decades China was the helpless victim of Western territorial and economic ambitions. In the latter part of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th a ruthless league of Western powers including Russia, Germany, France, the U.S. and Britain were busy carving up the Oriental giant into imperialist spheres of influence. China hadn’t the will nor the way to resist these encroachments until the germination of a snowballing national consolidation movement that culminated in the victory of Mao Tse Tung’s Communist army in 1949. For the first time in centuries, China was utterly free of foreign domination, free to pursue the cementing of an autonomous nation. As the West saw it, China had been gobbbed up by the monolithic Communist bloc and was “lost” for the forseeable future. Two years later, a United Nations army composed largely of American soldiers was engaged in pitched battle with Chinese Army regulars on the Korean penninsula.

But, with the shutdown of oil production in chaos ridden Iran, proponents of gas rationing have cropped up with increasing rapidity and determination. The proposed rationing remains shrouded in doubt. First, is the need really there? Last December, when Iranian oil production was already much reduced. Energy Secretary James Schlesinger said the oil shortage due to a total collapse of the Iranian oil connection would be negligible. At that time, he predicted that it would not seriously effect the U.S. oil supply. Last week, Schlesinger changed his tune, claiming that the loss of the Iranian oil created a situation more serious than “prospectively 1973-74.” In 1973-74 Americans were plagued by long lines at gas stations due to a critical shortage of oil. At that time, the U.S. had a 54 day oil reserve supply. Today, even with the slack in Iranian production, there is a 70 day supply of oil. increaded production by Saudi ‘Arabia and Kuwait also figure prominently. Normally producing 8.5 million barrels a day, Saudi Arabia increased production to 10.5 million barrels when the Irai crisis hit. Unable to keep up that level of product the Saudis decided to continue a higher produc rate, but they could only turn out 9.5 million bai per day.

Schlesinger might have been led to believe the Iran crisis has created a dangerous American oil shortage because the oil companies have had a skimpy sales picture. In an effort to keep their inventories up, several companies have stopped selling bulk amounts of oil to any single customer. This tactic not ofriy keeps their inventories at the normal level, it also tends to drive prices up.

When the dust had cleared and the penalty box emptied, the Great Lakers had trampled Buffalo, 7-3. “That’s how they always play in their building,” explained UB goaltender Bill Kamtnska, after withstanding the onslaught of Oswego’s aggressive, cheap 43-shot attack, “They played the same old style stuff. Their game is to make us retaliate, and get the penalties. Then they just go out and capitalize on them. We weren’t mature enough to just take the little hit, we always had to reciprocate, and that’s how we got into trouble,” the irate goalie added. The contest was billed as a pivotal cog in both team’s playoff aspirations, and it was the Lakers, using their bodies to force the Bulls OSWEGO "It would he hard for us to turn out a team like that. There are no stars, no individual players, everything is team oriented and we are in a league that encourages individual play. ’’ In the wake of the NHL’s embarassment Sunday night. Gainey’s sentiments seem to hit the nail on the head. Watching the Soviet Nationals play is like into defensive mistakes and offensive sluggishness, who improved their record to 12-8. Their effective bullying tactics inflicted Buffalo with a third cohsecutive loss, bringing their season ledger to 11-10, and left UB COSch Ed Wright .with no clear explanation of the Bulls’ recent troubles. “We’re making the same mistakes nbw that we were making earlier in the year,” exclaimed Wright; “We were just a sad, sad team out there. Oswego plays the body, they elbow you, they grab you, they clutch you. We just cannot go out and play that kind of hockey and expect to win. We have to do the things that we do in practice.” watching a finely tuned machine operation. Never is a pass thrown in the wrong direction. Never is a good scoring opportunity missed. It seemed like each time the Soviets in touched the puck, they had the capability to skate down ice and shoot the puck at will. On the hand. Team NHL made errors that cost them dearly. Some were tactical, but most of the mistakes were, in fact, forced by the aggressive, unselfish fore-checking of the Russians. From the middle of the second game on, there was only one team out there, or so it seemed that way. A case can be made for the NHL in that as an all-star squad, the players were not adapted to team up with eachother to pfey effectively. Indeed, the best NHL line in the series consisted of New York Islanders who play together year round. But to rely on that excuse is to miss the point completely. The NHL Stars are products of the star system of North American sports, individual players who are not oriented to a team style of play. the Russians, on the other hand, were very unselfish throughout the series, as numerous times players gave themselves up to help the Soviets score. And they never lost their composure. In game one, the NHL thoroughly outplayed them. Part of the reason was that as long as the Russians tried to play individually and carry the puck into the NHL zone. Team NHL could dominate them by taking the Russians out of the play at the blue line.. Game two saw a change in the Russian style with the Soviets dumping the puck in and chasing it. Thus, by playing pure, unselfish position hockey, the Russians kept the NHL Stars bottled up in their own zone, “But for some other many errant passes. Despite the fact that the NHL led 4-2 halfway through the game, the Soviet National team had controlled all aspects of the game. The three unanswered goals by the Russians that sewed up the second game were no surprise to those who had seen the first half. Useless rough play the series, prophets had theorized that the NHL, with their rougher style of play, could intimidate the Russians and take the series. However, this was not to be. At the start of game three, the NHL hit anything with a red uniform. But the trouble was that the Stars reason, we were more content with getting even on the spot than with contributing by taking a hard knock once in a while,” scowled the coach. “It’s hard to believe that that was a big game for us. fatal forcing - - -Bob Gainey after the NHL’* 6-0 loss to the Soviets in the deciding game of the Challenge Cup.

The completely final score, embarassed 6-0, all connected with the NHL, some of whom expected an easy three game sweep of the series. One should not come to the conclusion that the Russians are better players than’ the NHL Team. All the series proved was that the Russians, and their system, were better this time around. As the leading official of hockey in the Soviet Union said, the NHL can put up three teams with as much talent as they had in the series; the Russians though, can not od the same. Next time the two meet in a series like this (which probably will be in 1981), the NHL would be best advised to practice team position hockey in order to re-establish world supremacy in the sport. NOTES: A few tactical errors by NHL coach Scotty Bowman may have hurt the NHL dearly. Two in particular come to mind. First off, in the second game Bowman dressed both Denis Potvin and Guy LaPointe, both of whom were injured. Potvin was sluggish on the ice and he seemed to favor his 632-9533 injured shoulder. LaPointe, who no doubt one of the best defensemen in the league, had not played in three weeks and he showed it. To make matters worse. Bowman played the two as a pair.

Having gope nip and tuck for 37 minutes, the Bulls clung to a slim 48-47 margin with barely three minutes left in the hard-fought contest. Buffalo had built up its advantage mainly on the efforts of forward Mike Freeman. Buffalo’s latest star topped the Bulls with 19 points and was perfect from the line, extending his free-throw streak to 24 out of 25 attempts. “There’s no question about it. Freeman had his best game of the year,'” enthused Hughes. Once RIT had obtained the last minute lead, Buffalo became frustrated by their own miscues as well as the officials. “I told the guys before the game that no matter how well the officials were calling it, all of a sudden there were going to be one or two calls the other way,” Hughes said. As it turned out, he was precisely right. The first one that hurt occurred late in the game, when UB was being pressed by a pesky RIT defense. “Some kid came flying over and knocked Freeman over,” the annoyed coach recalled, and of course no call." A second “questionable” whistle followed. “One of our guys just nudged someone at mid-court. The guy went to the line and hit two foul shots.” “The same thing happened to me with him five years ago,” Hughes remembered. According to the UB coach, that official will wait a long time to see the Buffalo blue and white again. Overall, it was not a typial showing for the Bulls. The usually dependable Tony Smith played 35 minutes before fouling out. Although he is customarily one of the offensive stalwarts for UB, Smith finished the evening without adding to the scoring column. “We had some key people let us down,” Hughes admitted, referring to no particular player. After the contest, he summed it all up for the first time all season by stating he was disappointed in the total team effort. “We didn’t go oat after this one, he noted. — ” UB bowlers strike Cornell hosts unique tourney; includes backgammon, frisbee Most of you are aware of UB’s competition with various other institutions in bowling, but did you ever catch a clash between UCLA and Notre Dame in chess, ping-pong, or for that matter, frisbee? The Association of College Unions International sponsors such events across the nation, and this past weekend, 19 UB students journeyed to Cornell University for the Region Two eliminations,— Perhaps Buffalo’s best representatives were both the men’s and women’s bowling squads. Currently ranked fifth in the nation, the Royal bowlers not only swept the overall team event, but had their own Sue Fulton capture the individual title as well. Fulton and Erie Community College (ECC)’s Sandy Tice were locked head to head in the nine game tournament. After eight games, they were in a dead tie at 1578 pins. Fultoirrolled an exceptional 202 in the ninth and final game to wisk by Tice, who fell off with a 154. As a result, Fulton will get to test her individual prowess in Tu son Arizona. Teammate Cindy Coburn finished up in third place, but her 182 average aided the Royals to a team victory over their arch rival ECC. The team must now contest other region finalists in either Boston, or Baltimore before qualifying for the finals in Milwaukee, where they finished third last year. ECC whupped The men’s bowlers did not come ip as highly regarded as the women, but surprised the field by rising to sixth place. They finished 15th last year. UB was second after two game, but dropped to seventh late in the meet. Teamed up against nationally fifth ranked' ECC, whom the Bulls had already upset two weeks ago, Buffalo moved up to sixth by again knocking off the Rats-. Buffalo’s Steve Shavel came back from a 9-3 deficit in the final round of the Backgammon tournament to gain first place over 16 finalists. In order to win, Shavel had to win 51 games over a three-day period. In billiards, again it is a UB student who will move on to the national tournament. Graduate student Bill Soules swept the field and must now test his talent at Ann Arbour Michigan, Had there been an overall school champion, UB would have been a sure winner. Enyi Okereke and Jack ,Chow, both Buffalo students defeated 12 teams to win the doubles in ping-pong. Okereke also placed fourth in the singles, Chow finished second. Distance and accuracy were the measures used to determine the top frisbee chucker. UB’s Randy West and Howie Klieger finished third and fourth respectively, missing the first place mark by six points.

He hopes to keep from slipping in the nationals. “I’ll try hard, and hopefully I’ll come back an All-American,” he noted; but also warned he’ll be careful in the big event. Jacoutot and Curka are not exactly newcomers to the Nationals. After wrestling what he termed his best match in a long time, the M8-pounder commented, "In the past two Nationals, I wasn’t able to win a match. 1 sure hope 1 do well this time.” Curka, the super heavy-weight, will be making his fourth excursion to the exclusive contest. Undefeated in dual meets this year, Curka put everything he had into pinning his opponent in the SUNYAC’s. “I bore down, I Usually like to go the whole distance, but I was going to win as quickly as I could,” he disclosed, “because conservation of energy is important in tournaments. Getting ready to face the Nationals, Curka approached the matter philosophically. “It’s my fourth Nationals, I’ll wrestle as hard as I can, but potential and performance during the previous year, SUNYA£ sends four from each class, a substantial amount, thanks to the brilliant success of the 1977-78 who captured the Division 111 wrestling Bulls national crown. Slade was personally disappointed not to have finished first, but still has high expectations for the Nationals. “1 feel that I could have done better in the SUNYAC's, but I’m happy to be going to the nationals.” the 158-pounder admitted. “I hope to come back an All-American.” Buffalo coach Ed Michael shares the same optimism. “We’re looking forward to having several All-Americans,” the annually successful coach - Paul Curfct Tom Jacoutot performance are two different things.’” David Davidson Hockey Bulls —continued from . . page 12 , netting three unanswered goals in the closing period before Buffalo attempted a meek comeback and made the final score semi-respectable. Rick Pratt, Oswego’s freshman sensation, drelled a slap shot by Kaminska at 3:51 of the opening stanza, collecting his 33rd goal of the campaign, and giving Oswego a I-0 edge. Later in the contest, he bagged his 34th, shattering the Laker record for most tallies in a season. The Bulls evened the count at 4:58, when Bill Alico drove home his first goal of the year, beating Laker goalie Mark Edwards from the left point. “It’s about time,” remarked Alico of his virgin goal. At that point, Buffalo crumbled, failing to either clear the Oswego forwards from in front or mount an offensive surge of their own. “Our game is controlling the puck in their end, getting good shots and opportunities,” said UB’s Tom Wilde. “But we didn’t get anything, we were just skating around, afraid to hit, afraid to stick our noses in there and get rough with them.” As a result, Kaminska was virtually burdened with the task of stopping Oswego by himself. But even he could not deny the Lakers forever„and after limiting the locals to a 2-1 lead (obtained through a reboung score at 12:19 of the first period), Dave Stevenson and Rob Graf tallied in the second period, putting the game out of reach. *~ Scuffled third Oswego did not restrain itself to merely protecting its lead in the closing period, but rather increased it. A pair of freshmen, Pratt and Peter Herd, each bagged their second goal of the evening, while Kevin Flynn put in another all in the first eight minutes. Several arguments, scuffles, and outright fights marred the last 20 minutes of play, reflecting the type of feeling that prevailed on the ice. The usually physical Lakers and the frustrated Bulls were handed a total of over 30 minutes of penalties in the third period alone, including game disqualifications to Laker Tony Sgro and John Gallagher, UB’s 6’3” freshman. The two first-year players squared off after Wilde had scored at 11:43, His 25th goal of the season. “The guy butt-ended me in the stomach,” charged Gallagher. “And I didn’t retaliate. But then, when I was skating to the bench, going really slow, he kicked out my skate from underneath me, and that got me a little upset. So 1 dropped and we went at it.” Buffalo’s Keith Sawypr closed the scoring, cashing in on a break away. The Bulls will play Potsdam and Brockport at home on Friday and Saturday nights, respectively (both are 7:30 p.m, starts). Missing from action for the remainder of the season will be Dennis Gruarin.

Yogurt is a bacterial culture that aids digestion and has all the nutritional value of milk. However, at 4S cents or more per cup, it can be an expensive health habit. So make it yourself. Whole, low-fat, skim or powdered milk can be used. To produce one quart of yogurt, measure one quart of milk into the top of a double boiler, or a regular pan. Add 1-1/2 tablespoons extra as this much milk will evaporate in heating. Heat the milk to just under the boiling point, which occurs when tiny bubbles appear around the edges of the pan. At this point, immediately remoyc the pan from heat. Let the milk cool to lukewarm about 110 degrees. Now stir in 2 tablespoons of plain, fresh yogurt, (Dannon seems to work the best), making sure to use a clean spoon. Pour the yogurt into clean jars and set them in a pan of lukewarm water. Cover with a towel and keep in a warm place for eight hours, until thickened. Then refrigerate. The yogurt will keep for five to eight days before the culture deactivates itself. Do not add too much culture, as this will only crowd the bacteria and interfere with its multiplying action. Eat it plain or add fruit, preserves, honey, raisins, sunflower seeds. whatever Note: Yogurt culture is a living thing, and very sensitive to heat and cold. If you add the culture when the milk is still too hot, you’ll kill it and come out with homocidal milk.

Before America’s violation of Cambodian neutrality, the Khmer Rouge never numbered more than 5000. Cambodia had no industrial proletariat, no land problem, and no lack of food, shelter or clothing. What fueled the fifteen-fold growth of the Khmer Rouge was simple nationalism. After the merciless American bombings, the bare-faced invasion of its territory, and the incompetent autocracy of the Lon Nol regime, Cambodian patriots concluded that Lon Nol and his patron, the United States, were the most dangerous enemies of their interests. So, swallowing thetr ancient distaste for the Vietnamese, they joined in a common front against the right-wing government of Phnom Penh. Aid*! by the often incredible ineptitude of Lon Nol, the Khmer Roiige swept into Phndro Penh, overwhelmingly victorious. Minimumreaction The Khfn«y Rouge set up a radical, ulVanationalist and ‘bi’iitotty 1 ' ntoaed ’to government that quickly consolidate its power. Part of this process involved repelling all Vietnamese influence. This included stern, warnings to Hanio and, in some cases, turning Khmer guns against the Viet Cong. Hanoi, preoccupied with its final offensive upon South Vietnam, obliged and withdrew. The reason for Phnom Penh's sudden turn against its former allies has already been outlined: Cambodians haVe an anicent and violent hatred of Vietnam. Vietnam has a long tradition of aggression against its neighbors. As recently as 1965, Ho Chi Minh spoke of an “Indochinese Federation” with Hanoi at the helm, and North Vietnamese have referred to themselves as the “Prussians of Southeast Asia.” Hanoi's successful war against Saigon and its thinly-veiled hegemony ovet Laos certainly seemed to as a page Lov*.

Come on up to 355 Squire and let him/her know you care. too late to 9 indicate that Cambodia was next on Hanoi’s expansionary timetable But Phnom Penh’s reaction to this rumbling threat of aggression was violently pre-emptive. Cambodia conducted numerous raids into South Vietnam and frequently shelled border areas. Hanoi adopted a policy of “minimum reaction” as it continued to quell opposition within its own borders. But an extensive raid into the Tray Ninh province in November pf 1977, and dark rumors of a wholesale slaughter of Vietnamese nationals inside Cambodia goaded Nahoi into action. In December, Vietnam invaded the “Parrot’s Beak,” a salient jut in the Cambodian border pointing at Saigon. Claiming (ironically enough) that the invasion was aimed only at rooting out rebel sancuaries inside Cambodia, North Vietnam’s forces penetrated to within 36 miles of Phnom Penh. But fierce resistance by the small Cambodian army and a Chinese us to believe. The expansionary propensity of North Vietnam existed long before tljere was a Soviet Union to encourage it and Cambodia has been resisting this expansion for just as long. The conlfict between these two Southeast Asian'nations is not a “proxy war”, as Zbigniew Brzezinski says it is. China and the Soviet Union are merely exploiting a pre-exiting situation to advance themselves in their own conflict. It is a misrepresentation to flatly proclaim that the Soviet Union supports Hanoi in order to threaten China. This no doubt is true, but it makes it seem as if Hanoi is Moscow’s vassal. The truth is Hanoi entered into an alliance of sorts with the Soviet Union for its own purposes. The North Vietnamese have a traditional logthing for China which has subjugated them more than once in the past. The presence of this brooding giant to the north worries the independent-minded Vietnamese and it was hoped that Soviet support would including airlift of supplies bogged down Vietnamese operations blunt any Chinese designs on Indochina tihtfl they werq finally stymied by the summer monsoon*"'.

Project watchdogsjroiced nervpus criticism for the “hazardous manner” of removal and called for a posted warning and an area quarantine prior to .further corrective action. Under the orders of Robert Hunt. University Director of Environmental Health and Safety, workmen removed the asbestos ceiling in a basement piano room in order that other sound absorbant materials .could be tested. Students and faculty members were disturbed, however, to find the piano room open with no notice or posting of the activity that had occurred. Seeing that students were practicing in the newly scraped room. Music Department member Robert Hatten scrawled a warning on a piece of paper which directed readers to avoid the “polluted” area. About 500 students use the building’s cramped rehearsal rooms. After a meeting with Hunt on Friday, Hatten told The Spectrum that workers had been directed to use a vacuum to remove the asbestos. “Because of an 'apparent lack of communication,” he said, “they just scraped and then cleaned up.” Hatten believed that Corrective efforts tense debate over the health hazards posed by asbestos floating in the air of Baird Hall has distracted some Music Department members who teach and study there. The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) announced on January 29 that the material used as a ceiling insulator could be endangering the health of the building’s occupants. A 1973 study nationwide declared that a minimal amount of microscopic particles in the lungs can cause mesothelioma an incurable cancer. Asbestos has also been linked to cancers of the throat, stomach, colon and rectum, the asbestos controversy errupted at the end of last month. He commented the asbestos controversy erupted at the end of last month. He commented that for two years he has wanted “to replace all that” but money difficulties obstructed any efforts.'He stated that if funds are approved now, the asbestos ceilings in the basement practice rooms and hallways will be replaced. Hunt added however, “I can’t promise anything. The ceiling has to go, there is no question about that. I hope it will be done as soon - as possible.” Yet, as the beat goes on, nervous department members study and question the extent of the health under halfIWorkers orders to remove asbestos by vacuum, said Hunt —continued on page 2— —DIVinceno Nuclear emphasis damned Proposed power coop nixed by Joel DiMarco City Editor power cooperative, Empire State Power Resources Incorporated, (ESPR1), which was to raise capital for the electric The Public Service Commission has flatly rejected a (PSC)' proposal made by New York’s seven largest electric utilities to form a new corporation to build and operate new power plants in the State. meeting held each of the commissioners voiced seven During Thursday, a their disapproval of the venture and unanimously voted against it. Commissioner Ann Mead told The Spectrum ,“The utilities will probably receive official notice of the rejection of their application by Wednesday at the latest.” The application was made by the utilities four years ago, and called for the formation of ah The SUNY Board of Trustees agreed Friday that unless the State Legislature kicks in another $9.1 million to the SUNY budget, tuition probably by $150 for freshmen and will have to be increased sophomores only. The development confirms long-standing fears that -Governor Carey’s proposed budget will force the Trustees to hike tuition in order to Construction and management of new power facilities. ESPRI’s member utilities, which were to include Niagara-Mohawk, Rochester Gas and Electric, Con-Edison and Long Island Lighting, would then buy their power from ESPR1 for distribution to their customers. The seven utilities had planned to invest $2 million to establish ESPRI and predicted that by the turn of the century it would raise $20 billion for capital construction. The utilities’ claim was that if each of the companies was forced to construct new power facilities of its own during that same period, all seven utilities would spend a combined total of $34 billion. Pass-through clause ESPRI’s proponents claimed that the $14 billion "thus saved would be passed on to consumers through lower electrical rates. But the utilities also wanted the right to automatically pass on to the consumer ail costs for building and operating the new plants. The utilities claimed this was essential to the plan “in order to assure potential investors that they will receive an adequate return on their investment.” However, PSC staff members objected to this “pass-through well as ESPRI’s heavy emphasis on the construction of nuclear power plants. In one of its clause” as —continued on page 2— record in favor of the increase unless money can be squeezed fronvthe Legislature.' — comes through with funds , Tuition hike likely for low division unless State make up an operating deficit. ■ According to United Press International, (UPI) the Board directed SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton toreport back BYFebruary 27 on the chances of extra money emerging from the State Legislature. The $150 hike for lower division students is a slightly different proposal than had been talked about since the tuition hike was first hinted at in December. An $100 increase for all students was the figure most commonly mentioned when the tuition hike issue began to catch fire'across the state. SASU pressures The Trustees’ stand dearly makes the Legislature the primary battleground in the fight against the increase. Student Association of the State University (SASU) officials have already beguri extensive lobbying SUNY units efforts in Albany and have instructed student across the state to contact their legislators in an effort to marshall anti-increase sentiment. SA President Karl Schwartz has contacted several area legislators and has received a sympathetic ear from nearly all, he said. Although the tuition hike is not specifically mentioned in Carey’s executive budget, revenue is budget at an amount that assumes the $100 tuition hike. That budgeting tactic if upheld by the Legislature would force the Trustees to either hike tuition or cut expenses to match the non-existent revenue. . It is just that threat which led the Trustees to reluctantly go on — — — Inside: Our third look at grading policies—P. 3 / Equalize tuition The new hike proposal would equalize tuition for all undergraduates at $900. Wharton also proposed to the Trustees that unless the legislature chips in professional school tuition be hiked by $200 to - - $300. DPI reported Friday that the Trustees agreed SUNY needed $9.1 million more to finance new construction, buy library books and laboratory equipment and cover mandated increases in minimum wage. Much of the construction financing is required for Amherst Campus building. The $100 tuition hike proposal would have provided about $15 million in added revenues. The new proposal would amount to only the $9.1 million that theChancellor and Trustees feel SUNY needs. SUNY had requested an additional $78 million in its 1979-80 budget request. Carey and his budgetmakers recommended only a $32 million. Public vs Private SASU, a statewide student lobby headquartered in Albany, has attacked the tuition hike proposal since it was first raised. SASU was soon joined by several SUNY Presidents, including UB President Robert L. Ketter, who publicly denounced the hike as a “subsidy” for private education in New York State. Both Ketter and SASU have brought the public vs. private issue to the forefront, in the battle against a tuition hike, explaining that New York State gives more direct aid to private colleges that all other states combined-. Ketter, noting that public education is becoming increasingly unaffordable, had said that a tuition hike would chisel away at SUNY’s philosophical foundation a university for all income classes.

He again, however, cited “little risk” and mentioned as one protective agent, glue - which is “wrapped” around the to keep the fibers in place. Hatten countered with a question as to the effectiveness of glue which has loosened enough to allow some fibers to dislodge. Hunt also argued that mesothelioma is a very rare form of cancer and explained that in a study of 360 asbestos asbestos workers, 36 had lung cancer and one of those cases was directly traced to asbestos. Hatten pointed out that neoplasm abnormal tissue growth such as a tumor can take up to 40 years to develop, and therefore he questioned the relevancy ofrthe worker - — Study Hatten claimed that when he cited a 1978 alert from Secretary of Health Education and Welfare Joseph Califano to all state governors on the dangers of low-level exposure to asbestos. Hunt discredited the notice as “a broad statement.” Hatten added that when he asked for proof that the material isn’t a hazard, Hunt countered with a request for {iroof that it,is. Power co-op reports, the PSC staff noted that the rate of power plant construction has dropped sharply since ESPRI was first proposed, throwing into doubt the estimates of how much ESPRI would save electrical consumers. Another report expressed concern that since ESPRI would be a power wholesaler, its rates would be out of the PSC’s jurisdiction and subjuct only regulations. Public particularly to federal advocacy groups, the Peoples’ Power Coalition, maintained that ESPRl’s emphasis on nuclear plants was based more on economic self interest than on faith in the benefits of nuclear power.

Hunt’s central argument against research at Friday’s. meeting was, according to Hatten, that with the large number of substances causing cancer, it is hard to weed through the numerous reports. Hatten added that everything is hazardous. UB’s research Flammable sealant Hatten cited Hunt’s “inadequate concern” in a number of cases. Music Department member Mark Sposato questioned the fire hazard posed by the flammable plastic sealant applied over the asbestos last week. When Hatten related the concern to Hunt, the Director’sreplied that a lot of things are flammable and that asbestos will not burn, according to Hatten. Hunt also said that the sealer was not meant to be permenent. A voice and piano major, David Bilowus, said, “1 spend at least 18 hours in the practice rooms a week.” He complained that the administration first said the Music Department would be relocated on Amherst in the Fall of ■* 1980. “Now,” he said, “they are postponing it until July of 1981. I would definitely like to see that ceiling replaced.” Hatten said that Friday’s meeting with Hunt drew agreement from both parties that the asbestos ceiling should be removed. While Hunt explained that he will push for funds to be appropriated for the project, Hatten said he will concentrate on getting the ceilings replaced within the semester, under proper' Safety procedures. . of about 20,years. After 20 years, PPC claimed, the enormous temperatures and pressures generated by the reactor make the plant unusable and it must be shut down or “decommissioned.” West Valley again ESPRI would then have to process of constructing a new plant and decommissioning the old one. The Coalition thus felt that there would always be a reason for ESPRI to exist, build more power plants and turn a profit. Public activists fear that the cost for decontaminating and monitoring old power plants and their nuclear wastes would eventually be shouldered by the public as in the case of the Nuclear Fuel Services plant in West Valley, N.Y. Despite all these objections undergo the costly both from within and without the PSC, one of the Commission’s hearing judges recommended approval, provided the concept was modified to allow the State to directly regulate some of ESPRl’s activities. approval That conditional infuriated ESPRl’s opponents. Since ESPR1 has so far only existed on paper, no spokesman favoring the concept cduld be found for comment while each of the seven utilities which had proposed ESPR1 declined to make any statements. Commisioner Mead sasaid tha she had no way of knowing if the utilities would pursue ESPRI and try to make it a reality but she did indicate that several State legislators had introduced bills banning the proposal if the PSC had approved the plan. �•V at s CO -dt*s How straight are the A’s?

' - — Novel grade options of ’ eyed for reforms within decade transcrj^ — — Amherst straps handicapped with extra design barriers ill by Shidan Tavana Spectrum Staff, Writer Despite the efforts of several University organizations, the UB campuses still contain many barriers to the handicapped, according to Assistant Coordinator of the Office of Services to the Handicapped (OSH) Authur Burke. Although no special funds are presently available for this project, $250,000 had been requested in the budget for the buildings on Main St., and $200,000 for those on Amherst. Until now, the problem of accessibility was handled by installing ramps, automatic doors and moving classes to more convenient locations. The major remaining problem buildings include Clark Hall, Acheson Lecture Hall number five and parts of the Amherst Campus. Formed in February In accordance with Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 which requires that University programs be accessible to the disabled, the 504 working committee was formed in ,February of last year. Its representatives were drawn from OSH, maintenance, the Office of Facilities Planning, the Housing Office and the School of Environmental Design. Committee Chairman John Warren said that the committee’s two basic functions are to deal with the ongoing day to day problems of the handicapped, and with long range problems such as building rehabilitation. The committee has established as its top priority the physical accessibility of Clark Hall. According to Warren, work should begin once the weather warms up. Warren claimed that about $2 million would be required per campus to make every building 100 percent accessibile. Since that amount of funding is unavailable, the University will be unable to meet that lofty goal. To date, most of the changes have been performed by University maintenance at relatively little cost, been equipped with strobe lights and bed shaking fire alarm warning systems for persons with hearing disabilities. There are also several system for persons with hearing disabilities. TTiere are also several portable alarm systems on order. The greatest problem on the Amherst Campus according to Warren, is the elevator buttons which are out of reach of people in wheelchairs. Most of the problems involve building design. Governor’s Residence Hall is inaccessible to persons in wheelchairs because of its steps and the Lockwood Library has no ground floor entrance. Different needs Warren claimed that the problem of physical. changes is often a difficult one because of people’s different needs. For instance, a curb cut to accommodate a person in a wheelchair is not suitable for a blind person with a seeing eye dog or a cane.

Martin Luther King Jr., at a tribute to the black leader Friday, in O’Brian Hall’s Moot Court. Conyers, who worked with King as a civil rights lawyer in the early ‘60s, addressed the public and members of the Minority Faculty and Staff Association, which sponsored the tribute, entitled “Equity Issues for Black America.” Conyers, soft spoken yet forceful, said the greatest accomplishment of King’s genius was that it “made dreaming appropriate” in the minds of people, black and provided “psychological ammunition” in the minds of blacks to fight “against the systematic inferiorization” which they have been subjected to since brought to this country as slaves from Africa. 180 degrees More significantly, Conyers said King was responsible for influencing Congress and two Presidents to pass “the most significant changes in civil rights legislation since the Civil War.” King’s uniting of non-violent protest and political tactics in the deep South is testimony to his genius, he claimed. Jobs was the issue which first brought King to national prominence, prompting his 1963 “I have a dream” speech in Washington DlC., and his appearance in Memphis where he was assasinated in 1968. Conyer’s said that this is still the most vital issue facing the American people.

Faced with the frustrating Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn and University Dean for the Division of Graduate and Professional Education Gilbert Moore asking for help. The SBA hopes' that members of the University Administration who' have jurisdiction over law school policies will take steps towards a solution to the annual problem. The first attempt to remedy the problem was broached in 1967, when the law school faculty passed a resolution setting a deadline of four weeks after the last day of exams for faculty members to submit their grades. According to SBA President Tony Leavy, this resolution was ineffective. ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ The Spectrum will be accepting Classified Ads for the Valentine’s Day classifieds until 8i30 p.m. tonight. 355 Squire Hall. special DISCO DANCE CLASSES AT ..

Leavy claims the Law School is basically run by the faculty. “There is not much action that the Dean can take over tenured faculty members,” Leavy conceded The SBA passed a resolution in November strongly urging the faculty to expedite the grading of final examinations and to halt the increasing practice of late grading. In December, Headrick sent a memo to all faculty members informing them that the deadline for submitting grades was January 19, 1979. Stressing that failure to observe the deadline was a matter of “great concern to students” and one that did considerable harm to the school, Headrick urged faculty to turn in grades on time. Letter sent On January 30, with many grades still outstanding, the SBA decided to take further action by , making public the names of those professors who w.ere still delinquent. A letter was sent to those faculty members who had not yet turned in their grades, asking them to do so immediately or post an explanation. The names of these professors were posted on QUARTER POUNDER™ WITH CHEESE SANDWICH BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE other faculty members. In addition, letters were sent to Bunn and Moore outlining the history of the problem and asking for their assistance in finding its solution. The SBA is arguing that late grades are not only harmful to the students, but “unprofessional.” It claims that for first year students, the delay is psychologically devastating.

The recommendation, which calls for the immediate relocation of some 40 families, was quickly approved by Governor Hugh Carey and the State’s Love Canal Task force. Axelrod’s recommendation was formally announced to Love Canal area residents on Thursday night in an emotion “It’s going to hurt us all Residents were the State’s assurances that their homes were safe, particularly in light of the fact that the Love Canal Homeowner’s Association had stated as far back as October that chemicals were travelling through the courses of the old stream beds. State health officials strongly disagreed with the Association’s finding at that time and maintained further that the charged confrontation between State officials and local residents at the 99th Street School which is situated directly on the canal. Canal area residents were outraged at Axelrod’s decision to- not have the State pay for the relocation of the more than 250 families living within a six-block radius of the Love Canal and greeted him with jeers and more than a few four-letter words. The recommendation to relocate makes no provision for State purchase of the abandoned homes it did in August when the state’s Urban Development Corporation purchased more than 200 homes immediately adjacent to the Lpve Canal. Axelrod’s recommendation was made in the wake of a report written by a special committee of environmental doctors, toxicologists and other specialized scientists concluding that there was a correlation between the incidence of chemically related illnesses and the location of old streams and ponds known as swails that had once surrounded as — — plainly by unconvinced More birth defects are found in Love Canal area; state acts the Canal.

The speculation is that chemicals from the Love Canal have been (caching along the course , of the swails and contaminated the along them. people living However, Axelrod in his final recommendation to Carey maintained that these chemicals presented a health hazard only to young children and pregnant women. But a sign at Thursday’s meeting firmly declared the Love Canal’s residents’ insistence that Association had not properly retraced the courses of the old stream beds in the first place. But the State’s special committee’s findings agreed closely with the assertions made by the Homeowner’s Association in October. One very angry woman at Thursday’s meeting said that her daughter was only slightly older than two years and consequently ineligible for relocation, “How can you draw a line on my child?” she asked, “Should 1 have had her four months later? You’re just playing God with her.” One man took a more practical approach to the matter as he angrily left the school auditorium. “I’m going home to get my wife pregnant so we can get out of here,” he vowed on his way out the door. Many of the residents at the meeting pointed out that Carey has not been to the Canal since his re-election to the governor’s office last November. All Thomas Frey, State Director of operations and Carey’s personal assistant would say is “he will be available some time in the future.’’-Joel DiMarco Grandfather clauses debated; course loads still unclear by Kathleen McDonough for three class hours. With the fall changes, either time spent in class must expand or Campus Editor credit hours must drop. Certainly not all* possibly most, but definitely "some students will face more courses next semester. The promised "grandfather clause” which many students hoped would maintain the present norm of four courses per semester will afford limited protection to students when the Springer Report is implemented in Fall’79. Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE)* Dean John Peradotto told Wednesday’s meeting of the DUE Curriculum Committee for Springer Implementation that any attempt to retain the four course load under the new system would be disasterous to UB’s already — - pressing budget problems. Albany distributes budgets according to formulas depending on total number of credit hours. The Springer Report recommended that UB adopt the widely used "camegie unit” which awards one credit for each hour actually spent in the classroom. Since the late 1960’s, UB has awarded four credits — Tentative format Under a three credit system, Peradotto explained, four courses would constitute only twelve credits per student. With other schools averaging fifteen, UB’s budget would shfmlcT But there are more knots in Springer. If most courses revert to three credits, a student would only average 15 credits per - semester even after taking five courses, with 120 credits after eight semesters. Currently, 128 credits are required for graduation. With this in mind, Peradotto proposed a tentative format for a grandfather clause to the Committee. The clause would only apply to those already registered in the University, excluding the incoming freshman class. Under the terijis of the clause, those with 96 credits by fall ’79 (seniors) would be relieved of 2 credits from the total 128. Next year’s juniors, or those with 64 credits, will only be required 124 credits to graduate. Finally, those with 32 credits (sophomores) will need only 122. To receive the one-shot “discount” however, a student must complete at least 30 hours each year until graduation. order to be exempted, courses must be “beefed-up.” At Wednesday’s meeting, Co-director of the Undergraduate English department Stefan Fleischer described. Stricter requirements in freshmen 101-102 writing courses Maintaining present While the committee hoped this general Clause would enable most students to graduate on time, they are still seeking mechanisms to safeguard accepted majors. Some departments require majors to take a certain number of credits within the department. If the department choses to devalue it's courses, (as most have decided), rather than have them meet four hours per week, students must take more courses within their major than they had originally expected. The committee plans to examine departmental requirements, perhaps with an eye towards maintaining the present course load for majors. In th? coming weeks, the committee will hear reports from various departments presenting justification for possible exemption from the Springer system. In Basic guideline Each student would be required to submit 25 completed pages of writing he said. When it was suggested that 25 pages is not a large total, Fleischer explained that students must go through intense preparation, often translating into 100 pages. Eventually, Fleischer said, 101-102 courses will entail a “writing lab” which would balance the class hours and credits. The department does not have the personal to staff the lab now, he said. Citing difficulties in deciding which departments would be granted permission to award four credits for there contact hours, SA Director of Student Affairs Scott Juisto recommended forming a sub-committee to set up basic guidelines ■ROOffE’s!

ESPRI is dead I s To the Editor In a decision citizens ought to applaud vigorously, the Public Service Commission had deadened a multi-billion-dollar power play by seven utility companies that would have loosened an already slippery grip on electric power rates. In voting unanimously to kill the Empire State Power Resources Inc. (ESPRI) proposal, the Commission has stood up to the utility giants in a big way; one that we hope will set the tone for future utilities vs. citizens battles. ESPRI was dreamed up by the utilities as a potent source of capital for the construction of new power plants, most of them nuclear and most of them of questionable value in a state with surplus power and a declining population. At a time when the public needs tighter control over utility rates, ESPRI would have provided less by shifting much of the regulatory power away from Albany to Washington. At a time when the public needs fewer nuclear time-bombs in its midst, ESPRI would have provided more at huge capital risks that through a complex mechanism would have been borne by the consumers in the form of higher rates. And, at a time when the opportunities for the municipalization of utilities should be expanded, ESPRI would have created a centralized, autonomous, oligarchy of utility giants; a powerful deterrent to utility reform. That the power corporations would deny all this, and claim that ESPRI would actually save consumers money; and that those claims wodld be found hollow by the PSC is dramatic evidence of the utilities ruthless drive for profits at all costs. Perhaps now a hard look at utility reform can begin in this state. — — ESPRI is dead. Long live the consumer Last Wednesday, I read Mr. Avinash Mathur’s article in The Spectrum titled “Fascination” and it was indeed Just that, an exercise in the fantasy The situation in Pakistan, though serious, is far from what Mr* Mathur has tried to portray. In Baluchistan and Sarhad provinces of Pakistan, the situation has considerably improved, since 1974. As the new government in Pakistan, which is not at all Soviet supported as the article claimed, has not only released Pathan and Baluchi leaders detained by Bhutto’s regime, but has also withdrawn the cases against them. Mr. Mathur while emphasizing Afganistan’s support for Pukhtunistan, failed to notice that Pathan tribesmen instfead of supporting Taraki regime, have revolted against it. Also his That Med School question To the Editor Student representative to the College Council, Michael Pierce, hits the nail on the head when he declares that there is no way that med school candidates’ answers to the questions on abortion and sterilization do not affect admission. He is to be applauded for bringing this issue before the College Council and calling for President Ketter and Bean Naughton of the School of Medicine to declare in writing that this practice will stop. Dean Naughton claims that the questions are put not to determine the candidate’s views on abortion and sterilization, “but to help us determine . . how flexible he is in his views.” “The issue,” he says, “is that a doctor needs a broad social awareness.” Tl»en woe to the “rigid” and “narrow”!

He makes a telling point when he says that if the questions are indeed impertinent to the admission decision, then we must conclude that they invade privacy. That is the most that can be said for this practice. But of course it cannot be true that the the candidates’ answers are questions and impertinent.

Life spins its wheels in the furrowed embankments of Buffalo’s sidestreets; it is all we can do to keep from slipping into a state of frozen the easiest place to leave the mind this stagnancy time of year. It is the mid-winter blues creeping up again, an undertow of discontent tugging at our weatherbeaten souls. Yes, it is the weather. If our work piles.up faster than we can clear it away it is only a slight coincidence that the plows are losing the same wars to the snow. If our homes seem to dull with the days, despite a new poster here and a new plant there, they are only absorbing the monotony the windows spray upon them. If our spirits seem to wilt before the tiniest annoyance, if our minds tire from the mere sameness of the tasks we give them, if our bodies complain pver the simplest acts of physical exertion, it is because the snow, the cold, the arctic air we breathe have eroded away the breakwalls of optimism and freshness the New Year builds around us.

Rockefeller would be, in my opinion, an insult to the students and taxpayers of this state. Is it not enough that the infamous “Albany Mall” was renamed the “Nelson A. Rockefeller-Empire State Plaza? Must we'name our campus after him as well? Some have argued that Rockefeller “built” the half-finished Amherst Campus. Not true. The taxpayers and tuition paying students financed construction on the Amherst Campus. Rockefeller, with his billions amassed in personal fortune did not endow this University with any sort of grant. His name is immortalized in a personal Taj Mahal, built becayse of an “embarrassing” incident involving a princess from the Netherlands viewing the inner city between the old state capitol and the governor’s mansion. “Rocky” with his edifice complex should be memorialized in another New York State Rockefeller’s i On September 13, 1971 State Police and National Guardsmen stormed Attica, resulting in a hail of bullets taking 44 lives. James Vorenberg, director of the Harvard University Center for the Advancement of Criminal Justice said of Rockefeller’s role at Attica, “It wouldn’t have cost him anything except face, which is what so many of these involve.” Furthermore, situations Representative Herman Badillo summed up the horror of Attica and Rockefeller’s role, “It is better for people to talk, even futilely, than to die. As far as I’m concerned, there’s always time to die.” When considering renaming this University’s Amherst Campus, the thought occurs that perhaps the “Rockefeller Correctional Facility at Attica” would be more appropriate. I strongly urge aH students, faculty, administration and taxpayers to oppose any change of the name for the Amherst Campus.

You left out several of the more important facts about Mr. Rockefeller. You forgot to mention the Rockefeller familty tradition, which is to let nothing stand in the way of its greed.

Or the fact about the Albany Mall, his private Attuned to the Wiz To the Editor This letter is in regard to a recent article published in The Spectrum. The article, by Ross was entitled “From Wheatfields to Tenements,” and was an overly critical review of the new Black musical “The Wiz,” The article is clearly based on racism and displays a shocking lack of sensitivity. Chapman fails to relate to the message relayed by the film. He instead interprets it as a narrow-minded attempt at self-evaluation. He overlooks the fact that the movies’ story-line is directed toward the minds of children and employs the existence of the adults in the cast to suggest validity in his biased Chapman misinterpretations. 1 am most violently appalled by Chapmans’ attack on the films’ entire production and on the talent of its stars. His unjust comparisons to “The Wizard of Oz” show that the critic is not very exposed to blacks in films and music and isTn no attuned to our ideas of finding love and understanding within one’s own heart. That is the message the film relays. Also, we must understand that the “Wizard of Oz” was just an idea to spark of this new and vibrant production. 1 also detect an underlying tone of hostility, and 1 realize that this may have come about because Chapman does have one-sided opinions. 1 am totally aware that one is indeed entitled to his opinions, but I am also aware that when one must criticize something that is different from what one is usually exposed to, then his opinions must be objective. Also when something must be said that may arouse objection in others then it should be said with tact, and most of all, respect for the likes of others. These are two factors which Chapman has undoubtedly overlooked. Again, 1 am appalled by this vicious attack so I appeal to you to make some type of amends. Chapman has not only insulted the cast of the film, but hp has offended countless others, like myself, who hi ay have placed some value in the production of this film. way monument to himself, which cost us all almost $2 billion. You also forgot to mention the Rockefellers’ world wide power and how their greed has caused starvation, misery and death in all four corners of the world.

Lisa Weems The untimely death of Nelson Rockefeller reminds me of the- time I was handing out Socialist Labor Party leaflets in Monticello and a fellow insisted to me that Rocky was a Socialist. What nonsense! ! also recall when he first ran for Governor in 1958, he appeared on TV with three other candidates, one of whom was Eric Hass of the Socialist Labor Party that turned into a hot debate between Hass and Rocky on the issue of Socialism versus Capitalism. Even though Rocky went on to win the election and Hass did not, the Socialist Labor Party nominee wiped the floor with Rocky in the debate. In 1970, NOT satisfied with heading the list of candidates on the ballot, he tried to get an additional line, as if one was not enough. Nelson Rockefeller was' a greedy capitalist politician who did NOT give a hoot for the only useful class in society the working class! — Nathan Pressman, Organizer Hudson Valley Socialist Labor Party Sunshine House: feelfree To the Editor. On February 7 The Spectrum featured an article on counseling centers at UB. Although the information on Sunshine House was both informative and accurate, it emphasized that Sunshine House was used for crisis situations such as rapes and drug overdoses. I would like to stress that Sunshine House also deals with the frustrations of everyday living. We try to offer a warm and nonjudgemental atmosphere where people can feel free to work out their problems. We encourage people to call or stop by whenever they feel the need to talk about problems of any intensity. Edward Rudnicki Director, Sunshine House Sex Ed Center Easy living for Hunt To the Editor: So you’re wondering about Environmental Health and Safety Director Robert Hunt’s curious handling of the asbestos problem in Baird Hall? Well, you shouldn’t be. Let me fill you in on some more well reasoned decisions made by this most enigmatic man.- Mr. Hunt sets all traffic regulations on the three UB campuses. Thus he is responsible for divining it lasts for 30, count ’em, 30 that a red light should be placed at the intersection of seconds Flint Rd. and North Campus Boulevard, halting all northbound traffic (towards the academic spine) on Flint Rd. The only reason that light exists is to allow eastbound traffic (towards Millersport Highway) to continue to flow quickly and smoothly on the remainder of North Campus Boulevard which hasn’t been built yet. When questioned about this sagacious decision, Mr. Hunt replied, “What’s-thirty seconds out of your life?” Makes sense, huh? Mr. Hunt is also the man who decided that two out of every three parking lots adjacent to the — - offers . . . To 'the Editor: Ellicott Complex should be closed over the winter, making absolutely certain that more than a. handful of students will • be forced to park illegally near Ellicott. His response to this problem was that the University does indeed guarantee dorm students a place to park, but does not guarantee convenience. Hence, he claimed, students could park anywhere on campus, specifically mentioning lots serving the academic spine, the Statler Food Commissary and Crofts Service Building. Way to go. Bob.. On numerous other occasions, Mr. Hunt has remarked that questionable rules wouldn’t be changed because “It’s always beep that way.” So if you’re confused with the Baird Hall question, remember that Mr. Hunt probably feels that music students are not forced by the University to study music, but rather choose to do so (hence, asbestos is their own problem), and that if they really are afraid of being poisoned, they should either breathe before they enter Baird Hall, or practice outside. Life is so easy when you’re Robert Hunt. John H. Reiss The Wednesday, February 7,- 1979 edition presented an article on Counseling Services offered to the campus community. In that article you accurately pointed out that “bife at an enormous University like UB,... can be conducive t5 emotional or mental problems.” Since this is so, it is regrettable that you failed to mention a major service.

If your reportei your intended “ascriptive responsibility” (i.e., the lau grades could be attributed to, were the fault of the in “procrastinating Psycho profs” Department), then she has severely misstated ease. Of the 661 late grades attributed to Psychology, 625 of them were submitted in due time (by December 29 or January 2) by the instructors. Since these grades wem logged into A&R on January 8, it seems clear that campus mail required over one week to deliver them from Ridge Lea to Main Street. (In fairness to the Campus Mail Unit, I should add that there is some evidence that 486 of these grades were lost in the A&R office for one week, at which time they were then found.) The Psychology Department has frequently contended that there are major logistical difficulties in being the only Department with a large undergraduate teaching constituency to be isolated on the Ridge Lea Campus. Here is simply one additional illustration. At one time there was a grade “drop-off” point on Ridge Lea. Now grades are submitted via campus mail. The Department is viewed as delinquent, when actually the difficulty stems from reduced services provided to the Ridge Lea facility. ■' ‘ „ Ira S.

Bade, Director Academic Affairs Jane Baum, Vice President for Sub Board 1, Inc. • Student Health Insurance should cover UB abortions The Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse (C.A.R.A.S.A.) supports the coverage of abortion services in the Student Health Insurance policy. The controversy that has been raised around this issue has caused much time and effort to be spent in a debate that has long since been resolved. The United States Supreme Court ruled in 1973 that a woman and her doctor have an absolute right to end a pregnancy in its early stages. But what good is the legal right to an abortion if one cannot afford to exercise that right? To omit abortion coverage from the student insurance because of the persistent pressure of an obvious minority is in effect disregarding the legal and medical rights of all UB students, as well as disregarding the mandate and sentiments of state and federal legislators, the courts, and the majority of American citizens. The issue being raised by this controversy is the freedom of choice, not the so-called “rights of conscience” of the opponents of abortion coverage. Words like “rights of conscience” are a poor disguise for what is no less than an anti-abortion stance. Anti-choice proponents suspect, as we do, that optional coverage in the policies is not economically feasible and would not be a realistic alternative. At stake, then, is an all-or-nothing proposition. Abortion will either be a part otthe insurance coverage or it will not. If abortion coverage is excluded from the student insurance, we are allowing the particular religious and moral beliefs of a small minority to control the ability of a woman to pay for her abortion. And this control is precisely what the courts have said may not be exercised. Sub Board’s determination to include abortion coverage was based on recommendations of students, faculty and administrators, and represented a return to what had been included in the insurance policy two years ago. The abortion coverage had been dropped then because the cost was prohibitive and the coverage inadequate. Last year, when a plan was found which covered abortion at a reasonable cost to students, the plan was adopted. UB is not unique in recognizing the need for this coverage all SUNY ’schools include abortion coverage in their Student Health Insurance plans. That this coverage exists statewide indicates the great support it has, and recognizes the need fgr this coverage in case of an unplanned pregnancy whose — cost can jeopardize a student’s academic future. Opponents to abortion coverage argue that it be made optional. We understand how this strategy could appeal to those who do not understand the nature of group insurance policies. In reality, however, the suggestion is an unworkable one. Group insurance plans, by nature, do not allow for optional coverage. If such an option were provided, it wouldrender the cost of the coverage prohibitively high. Each time a person opted out of the coverage, the cost of the policy for those choosing to retain it would increase. This would 881-5212 price-fixed eariy evening dining Guest opinion by C.A.R.A.S.A - Mastrantonio’s announces Sincerely, It was your adamant demand that this category include foreign language courses.

MASTRANTONIO’S on the Niagara Falls Boulevard at Eggert Road For reservations: (716) 836-3366 severely hamper thej/alue of such coverage. It is even possible that the cost for such “optional” coverage would be so high that it would be unrealistic to include the option at all. The result might be a termination of any abortion coverage in the Student HealthInsurance policy. No woman plans an unwanted pregnancy, but with inadequate birth control and the problem of rape, every woman in this society can unexpectedly find herself pregnant. It is unfair and unrealistic to ask any women to anticipate what impact this pregnancy will have on her life and what choices she will need to make. An adequate insurance policy must provide coverage for whatever alternative a woman chooses. The chauvinist and moral platitudes offered by the opponents to abortion coverage ignore the realities of the situation,i.e: that abortion is and remains a legal right supported by the American public, and a much needed alternative for women. The anti-abortionists continue to ignore this very pressing reality, as'if they didn’t know that throughout history women have sought abortions to terminate unwanted pregnancies, often at the expense of their lives or health. They ignored the fact that during the 1960s an estimated one million annually had illegal abortions. They ignore the fact that seven out of ten legal abortions performed in 1974 would have taken place illegally if abortion were outlawed. They ignore the fact that, during 1973, the first year that abortions were legal nationwide, there was a 40 percent drop in abortion-related deaths. When the Hyde Amendment was passed in 1977, off most medicaid funding of abortion, it was estimated that 85 women would be hospitalized and 5 women would die each week as a result of illegal abortions. Every effort to curtail the availability of abortion, including the denial of insurance coverage, may increase these numbers. We already have too long a history of women whose bodies and lives have been scarred and upturned by illegal abortions and cutting unwanted pregnancies. This is not meant to be a prediction of the same harsh consequences for UB women; it may well be that students will find alternative policies or ways of raising funds for their needs if abortion coverage is denied. But we are fighting for a principle as well as a we are fighting to preserve and particular action protect i woman’s reproductive freedom. The right to an abortion is meaningless unless all women have the opportunity to make a decision based on their own needs and values. No woman is forced to have an abortion against her will and no woman should be forced to continue an unwanted pregnancy. The University must respect reproductive freedom by providing insurance coverage of- both abortion and childbirth services.

Valley site ‘ideal’ “If reprocessing is uneconomical, nuclear power generation might also be found uneconomical,” concluded Robert Fakundiny at a nuclear waste seminar here Wednesday. The State's geological survey chief was referring specifically to the now defunct Nuclear Fuel Services reprocessing plant at West Valley. N.Y., shut down permanently in 1972 for economic and safety reasons. For the past four years, Fakundiny has headed a State and Federal geological study on the effectiveness of the shallow land burial technique used at West Valley, where millions of cubic feet of low level solid radioactive wastes are interned. The runoff from these burial trenches empites into Lake Erie, Buffalo’s source of frinking water, environmentalists have warned. However, Fakundiny estimated that it will take 250-400 years for the radioactive particles to escape the thick clay till and seep far enough to contaminate the area’s ground water. “The geological conditions are much better than we expected”, commented Fakundiny, “In fact they’ re probably better than any burial site in the country . the water permeability of the till is probably as low as anything you can dig that’s natural.” He also admitted though, the “ideal” conditions are no assurance of what could happen with the wastes in the long run. . . Un examined The geological survey team uncovered evidence of radioactive gas escape from the burial trenches, Fakundiny reported. Though the team attempted to quantitize the amount of gas given off, the operation was hampered by inadequate detection methods. “In my opinion there is radioactive gas emanating from the trenches but we don’t know in what concentraions,” stated Fakundiny. —continued on page 14— Consumer conference NYPIRG is sponsoring a statewide conference on legislative, urban and environmental issues, this weekend in Albany.

The Department of Public Safety formerly Campus Security then joins maintenance to evaluate the situation and determine the severity of conditions.

Fakundiny’s study did not examine the 600,000 gallons of high-level radioactive wastes also buried at West Valley, which many environmentalists feel pose the greatest threat. The geologists are presently awaiting allocation of funds for this necessary part of the study, he said. Since 1974, the project has run up a tab of over $2 million which, according to Fakundiny, was split up unequally between the State and Federal governments; New York shouldering a disproportionate share of the costs. Erosion rates for the burial site and waterways on the site are currently under evaluation. This information will help the geologists determine how long the radioactive material will remain buried and “harmless” if left unattended. Fakundiny believes that the decision to bury radioactive materials at West Valley was long term one that we will have to learn to live with. “The site will probably have to be attended to and repairs will have to be made from time to time,” said Fakundiny. “Our children and grandchildren will accept the burden and keep watching the sites and try to find some kind of method to use • r - our waste.” The solidification and disposal of the West Valley wastes will cost New York taxpayers an estimated $500 million. / Legal system dominant orientation toward corporate power.

Once on the mid-state campus, 100 points. In basketball, the Royal five dropped a close game in the last seconds to a very highly ranked Ithaca squad. The swimmers’ woes continued for the remainder of the 1977-78 season. Once sporting a three-win. no-loss record, they fell victim to the depth' and experience which they lacked themselves. By the end of last February, only a skeleton of a team represented the 3-10 Royals. To further complicate matters, the most notable swimmer. Mary Drozda completed her senior year, leaving the Royals with virtually no experience for the future. The basketball Royals however, completed the 1977-78 campaign on a very promising note. Their top guard, Regina Frazier, graduated but the nucleus of the squad was due back. The stars of the Ithaca match-up, Paula Hills, Kris Schum, Janet Littey, Pam Lerminiaux and Dottie Holtz all were confident that Schum, Janet Lilley, Pam Lermifriau.'. and Dottie Holts all were confident that Now. one year later, the swimmers post a 5-2 record, the basketball five, 3-13. Yet, it was supposed to be the other way around. Swimming coach Pam Noakes places a terrific amount of emphasis on self-motivation. Swimming her second season for Noakes. senior Mary Jo Cloutier explained Noakes’ philosophy; if aswimmer does everything required in practice, she’ll become a damn good swimmer. However, if she chooses to leave in the middle of a work-oiit, she can. In order to patch together this year’s successful team, Noakeshad to recruit swimmers with experience: athletes who know how to progress without being badgered. How she did it is a mystery. Very few excellent high-school athletes are thrilled at the prospect of swimming for a losing team that can not even offer a scholarship. Noakes hooked onto two freshman this season, Amy Brisson and Holly Becker, both willing to push themselves instead of being pushed. With the help of these two superb frosh, Noakes’ Job of recruiting for coming years is 100 percent easier. Nothing will attract an athlete to a school that doesn’t award scholarships, unless that school’s team is a proven winner. Three players, including the sophomore Lilley, remain from the prospective list of returning Royal cagers. As a result, the number two rebounder in the east is left to carry the burden of team leader. For instance, Hills, an extremely talented rebounder, transferred to Potsdam, not primarily to play basketball, but to take advantage of a better program in computer science. Whatever the reasons, the basketball Royals are left with a team that just cap not, seem to jell. Thursday evening in Rochester, Cousins juggled her line-up, starting less experienced personnel in hopes of getting a more aggressive pattern of play. In the first minute of action, they committed three turnovers, staking the University of Requester to a 6-0 advantage. Cousins Called for a time-out, but the damage had been done. Oh that bus trip one year ago, a disillusioned group of swimmers sat in the front, sleeping, studying and solemnly thinking. The confident basketball team whopped it up with cheers and off-key singing, despite the loss. One would deduce that the swimmers lacked spirit and the basketball team was full of it. Returning from Rochester Thursday night, 19 swimmers, a good portion of which are freshmen rolled in the aisles during the hour long journey back to Buffalo. Accompanying them was a baby bull mascot they proudly displayed on the diving board during the meet. The swimmers were soundly defeated, but by no means lacked spirit. They are winners now even when they lose. In the front of the bus sat the basketball squad. Though by no means silent, they lacked the vocal pride so prominent only 12 months ago. It’s not a desperate situation for basketball Royals coach Liz Cousins. She wants to build a winner, a desire which every varsity coach at this University shares. The basketball Royals are young, younger than they hoped they’d be; and in time will come around. Next when compared with the swimmers, their rate of improvement appears slow. Give credit, Noakes has accelerated her swimmers. Give' credit. Cousins is adjusting her team to a pace that they can handle. If they were pushed beyond their capability, they might just be’ in a situation far more frustrating than the one that currently exists. David Davidson - Passing game Royals try, try again, outshooting Potsdam with better teamwork If first you don’t succeed, try again would have to be the current motto of the basketball Royals. A>fter suffering a 71- SO defeat at the University of Rochester Thursday night, the Royals got their act together in time to nip Potsdam Saturday afternoon, 73-72; disastrous until the final second to make it official. Buffalo could do nothing right Thursday, turning the baH over an unheard of 39 times. UB coach Liz Cousins, chalked up the loss, simply admitting the Royals were waifmg not clicking as a team. The familiar surroundings in Clark Hall turned UB’s abilities around, however, as the Royals outplayed Potsdam with what Cousins termed “better passing and more consistent team work.” Janet Lilley tipped off the opening Jump ball to start the tension between the two squads. Potsdam surprised UB, putting the first two points on the scoreboard and producing a 5- 0 lead with three minutes gone. In order to prevent any further damage, Cousins regrouped the Royals with a needed time-out. Lilley’s aggressiveness and leadership worked positively for the Royals as she ignited the scoring for UB, sinking four baskets in a row and tearing down eight rebounds.

As soon as the middle period began, Elmira systematically erasing an early two goal deficit and then holding off a furious Buffalo comeback attempt in the waning minutes of the contest. The 11 -9 Bulls played the Eagles on even terms for most of the game, but the locals suffered intermittent lapses throughout the night that Elmira was able to take advantage of. “We could’ve easily won,” argued UB’s Tom Wilde. The offensive trigger man added two more goals to his 1978—79 log, and now sports a grand total of 24. “They moved the puck out well, but they weren’t that great. We played pretty well, but a few mistakes cost us.” The Eagles’ fifth tally, the game winner, was especially emphasized by the Buffalo members as being one of the their larger goofs of the entire evening. “In their last goal, we had two back checkers covering,” explained Bulls’ coach Ed Wright. “But the puck still went to the guy we were supposed to be covering.” Elmira’s crucial score by Jeff Cristina at 11;43 of the third period, came as a result of a two on one break, Cristina and teammate Steve Lemieux fooled a lone Buffalo defenseman (after racing by another) and exhibited some high quality passing before beating UB goaltender Bill Kaminska for a 5—3 bulge. Rapid fire “The guy pointed out UB just snuck in,” defenseman Rich took the upper hand, at 3-2, when Mike Brigante used up only 11 seconds to tally. The Eagles were flying high, continually threatening the Kaminska goal fr nearly every angle. But the acrobatic dives of durable goalkeeper prevented any futher damage, and soon the Bulls’ squad got its act together again. In fact, one “red line” (Brien Grow, Patterson, and Wilde) shift was all that was necessary to bring the teams to even terms. Wilde smoothly backhanded in the, tying goal from the left face off circle at 7;59, after having received a blind pass from Patterson. UB’s Lines TIED UP IN TONAWANDA: Ed Patterson (18) of Buffalo races into the corner to get to the puck ahead of two unidentified Elmira College skaters. Despite a 5—4 loss at MacLean, who later, while the Eagles were on a power play, personally shortened the opposition’s lead to just one. Profiting from a rare mistake on the part of Elmira’s defensive corps, MacLean sent the vociferous home crowd into a frenzy by firing a hard drive by Eagles’ netminder Tony Cosmano with less than four minutes minutes Tonawanda Sports Center. Patterson was able to break a troublesome scoring slump when he tallied mid-way through the first period. eradicating any hopes of overtime the Buffalo partisans may have held. “It took the life out of us,” complained Keith Sawyer, Igo’s line mate. “Timmy just retaliated. The referee shouldn’t have called it, especially in such a close game.” The score need never have been close, as the coach elucidated, “1 thought we skated only one remaining. third, but 1 don’t know why.

Brisson. “Rochester is a Division II school and we’ve been swimming against them for a long time,” explained Royals’ coach Pam Noakes. Overall, the Royals have dropped Ithaca and a couple of other tough schools in order to face Division III competition on an equal level. Combined with a vastly improved roster, featuring the freshman Brisson, the Royals have been rolling right along. Even with the Thursday night loss, Buffalo is sporting a respectable five and two record. Brisson topped the field in three separate events, smashing records in the process. Setting a Rochester pool record in the 100-butterfly, Brisson touched in just 1:06.5 seconds, fractions off her previous best 1:06.

Among government and service industries, such as operating firms, insurance banks, communications companies and human services sectors, office salaries account for 70-85 percent of total costs, accorng to a recent independent study.

And that is only half the earnings work of the 23 million white collar professionals and managers whom they serve. These costs are rising at an annual rate of six to eight percent. —While office costs have doubled over the past decade, office productivity has regained almost stagnant. Though office productivity is a difficult subject to monitor, most experts agree it has increased by only four percent in ten years. In the same period, spurred industrial productivity automation by has increased about 90 percent. Finally and this is the key revolution” while to office employment and overhead costs have soared, the price of office automation equipment has been declining at an annual clip of ten percent, bringing increasingly sophisticated computers into the reach of even the smallest businesses. It has been estimated Hummingly efficient earn around $300 billion - — - - - automation says James Carlisle, a computer specialist at the University of Southern California, is “likely to bring about an organizational revolution among white-collar workers to that comparable ” executives with will supply up-to-the-minute information for decision making, and even with suggestions on how to use the information for arriving at a ' decision. While some of this equipment, particularly combined word and data processing devices, is already in wide use (some 215,000 small computers are now business along with some installed, 400,000 word processors), the growth of automation equipment sales is expected to be intense over the next five years. Creative Strategies a International. consulting firm based in Santa recently California, completed a five-year market forecast and predicted a 19 per cent annual growth rate for the types most standard of automation equipment, such as copiers, computers, dictation and facsimile equipment and word Clara, " processors. For the in workers “information industry,” which increasingly dominates the economy, this revolution will mean two things. First, the various tasks of the office support worker, such as typing, editing, accounting, filing, mailing, etc., will be gradually taken over by hummingly efficient machines that will, according to industry spokesmen, do the jobs better, faster and cheaper. This means greater productivity with less personnel costs. Secondly, the automated office will aim at increasing the efficiency and technical abilities of executives and professionals by combining numerous data banks into an electronic information network. Desktop video display screens (winch are expected to both speak and respond to vocal commands within 10 to 15 years) MID WINTER-SALE-MID-WINTER-SALE The major future trend, says toward company integration of the equipment such as word and data processors. New methods of local and global communications will also speed an on-going tendency to eliminate paper as the medium of document storage and communication. the One particularly sophisticated office system, which integrates numerous tasks, is now being used in a “testing atmosphere” at the White House. Installed by Xerox, this Advanced Multi-Function Workstation code-named “Alpha” consists of a copier with a keyboard and video-display screen. Besides enabling the user to do electronic editing of — documents before they are committed to paper, the system can also create charts and graphs from keypunched instructions, print letters in a variety of type from page 12 electronically faces store of pages thousands of information, and print paper copies of graphics created on the display screen. The two workstations at the White House operatfe off a computer that can simultaneously handle such 2 54 more workstations, according to the trade journal. authoritative Datamation. However, the key thrust of office automation in the near future will be somewhat less grandiose, aimed at improving productivity of thl office worker and reducing the flow of paper. Again, the immediate motive is cost. Among major corporations, such as those in the Fortune 500, it now costs $6.41 to create, type, revise and mail a one-page letter, according to a recent study by IBM, According to the Creative Strategies study, the average secretary is either away from the desk, waiting for work or absent 46 per cent of the time. About 9 per cent of the time is spent taking dictation. typing or proofreading, and the remainder is consumed by answering phone calls, handling mail and doing clerical work. Virtually all of these tasks can be performed by today’s computers, which are never absent, or hanging about the especially water cooler, or attending union meetings. — - Behavioral patterns Yet the elimination of the secretary will not be simple, and will occur only over a long period, says Creative Strategies’ Larry Wells. “The executives like having secretary available for the a various tasks they do,V he says. A Xerox salesman, who regularly deals with corporation executives, confirms that View: , "When a guy spends 15 or 20 years working his way up the ladder so he can have his own secretary, there’s no way he’s going to give her up for a damn machine. He Wants his own personal ‘grunt’.” “We have to change behavioral patterns rather than technology,” says Wells. “Technology changes come Behavioral very fast. changes come very slow. That’s one reason I don’t think we'll see major changes with today’s generation of executive. For the 45-50 year-old executive, the secretary is a very significant thing Yet the changes will come, eventually. “The longterm career secretary is probably going to virtually disappear,” Wells says. The few secretarial jobs which can’t be automated, he adds, vyill be either taken over by the executive or handled by part-time employees. Looking beyond his published five-year forecast, Wells predicts that “things will begin to change between the fifth and the tenth year dramatically fairly and between the tenth and the twentieth year, you’ll see some very dramatic changes.” One will be automatic speech recognition, to enabling people talk to computers, which is about 10 to 15 years away. Integrated office systems, such as the one being tested in the White House, will be common in seven to eight years, he says. And he says, it will be possible almost to automate the office itself out of existence by the turn of the century. “We’ll be getting away from the idea that an office is a physical location. An office will be the capability of doing creation tasks and access tasks, and they may occur from home, or airplanes, or anywhere.” MID-WINTER-SALE MID—WINTER—SALE—MID—WINTER SALE University Bookstores MID-WINTER-SALE •.

Reiss Special to The Spectrum Citing an “absence of leadership at this University,” former Dean of the Colleges Irving Spitzberg has called upon Robert L. Ketter to step down as President when his term expires in June, 1980. Spitzberg, in his 1977-78 Annual Report on the Colleges, claims that the President has made his contribution to the University, and that he must realize it is time for new leadership that can look to the future. He specifically denounces Ketter’s “negative style,”; charges that the President backed down under pressure from an unreasonable and intransigent state Division of the Budget (DOB); and claims that Ketter has no vision of a future for the University. “He must announce his intention not to seek an additional term so that the University can organize itsel? to seek a leader with a minimum of uncertainty,” Spitzberg writes. “(W)e must look for a leader, not an administrator; for one who is willing to work in a consultative system, and to articulate and justify a personal view of the future.” Spitzberg thus becomes the first University official to publicly support Ketter’s departure since the President’s administrative style and leadership abilities came under fire last spring. Charges that Ketter has lost control of his administration and failed to lend the University a guiding hand, spurred the undergraduate Student Association (SA) and the-Graduate Student Association (GSA) to overwhelmingly vote “no confidence” in. the President. The UB College Council then undertook a “review” of Ketter’s performance, finding that all that he had charges against the President lost control and that he was dishonest were baseless. The Council then gave the President a unanimous vote of confidence. Spitzberg’s report, unusually harsh for a document of its kind, cites chapter and verse the difficulties which he, and others, have had in dealing with the President. It is replete with accounts of controversial decisions made by Ketter, stemming, Spifzberg claims, from his preoccupation with administration rather than leadership. This role is representative of those form ' - into battles with the numerous Administration and eventually played a leading role in his decision to resign as Dean of the Colleges in August, 1978, He is still a professor of Higher Education here, Ketter was unavailable for comment Wednesday. believes “Ketter’s bad Spitzberg decisions,” many of which have adversely affected the Colle — without foundation and are not pertinent to the issue of Ketter’s future here. Rather, he feels the President’s “negative” style is far more crucial, and that it has seriously affected his performance as a leader. This negative style affects both “substantive areas of judgement as well as personal patterns of behavior,” according to the the University’s power base, he says; people view themselves as administrators and not leaders. “This raises profound questions about the competence of those in positions of responsibility and those who put them there to make judgements about the future of this important social institution,” wrote Spitzberg. Lack of vision former Dean. Ketter’s presidency has thrust Spitzberg negative style and his lack of a vision for the future of the University. The Colleges resulted from an ambitious experiment developed in the 1960’s and aimed at creating on-campus living-learning centers to -help combat the problems fostered by a large and expanding University. It was to be an alternative vision to the research dominated universities, based on the Oxford University Colleges. Implicit in this new idea developed in the by Jay Rosen Edilor-iii-Chief Faculty Senate rejects plan to shelve Administrative Evaluation Committee - Spitzberg wrote. - Negative style Spitzberg too, believes that questions of Ketter’s dishonesty were completely ’60s was the creation of a “Berkeley of the East,” a progressive, visionary institution. Yet when Ketter took over as President following the bloody riots of 1970, he instituted “his vision of the creation of a Berkeley a Berkeley of the 1950’s, according to Spitzberg. Ever since, the Colleges have been forced to battle the tide which is perpetually directed towards traditional research rather than innovation. “The President wanted to build the best university the 1950’s ever sawhe wrote. Spitzberg feels that many of the Colleges’ problems have been compounded by the President’s view of Buffalo as a traditional University. He attacks what he feels is Ketter’s lack of sympathy for the Colleges’ educational mission which focus on non-traditional methods and programs. Ketter oversimplifies the Colleges’ role and employs an “unreasoning use of line authority which cuts against consultation,” The Faculty Senate Executive Committee, attempting to rid itself of a prodecural ghost left by former Chairman Jonathan Reichert, was a plan that would have stopped cold Tuesday as the full officially kept the standing committee on Administrative Evaluation unformed. It remains unclear, however, what the Senate’s actions will mean for the long- mothballed committee. That committee proposed, debated and approved in October of 1977 was conceived as both an on-going review of the decision-making process and a faculty check on the Administration. But Reichert never constituted it during his term and the task fell to this year’s Executive committee. The Senate directed the Executive Committee on December 5 to look into the issue an‘d report back at the next meeting which was Tuesday. The Executive Committee, led by Senate Chairman Newton Carver, attempted to avoid forming the standing committee by claiming that its functions were already being filled by three existing committees. To form another committee at this time would be ill-advised, the argument went. — — — Strong reasons The Senate didn’t buy it. Spurred by convincing testimony by Department of Psychology Chairman Ira Cohen, several senators spoke to the general need for a faculty check on the administration. Cohen, who authored the 1977 report that led to the standing committee idea, was asked to speak Tuesday by Carver. After some of the report could be considered outdated since its research dates back to 1976, Cohan stressed that there are still several strong reasons to form the Administrative Evaluation Committee. Cohen emphasized that his study (the Ad Hoc Committee report on Administrative Evaluation) was not extensive enough to adequately address several serious questions about the University Administration. conceding that A catalyst for change He traces many of the problems with Ketter to the extended counter-revolution of the early ’70s. Following the progressive thought of'the ’60s and the truculence of 1970, the University came full circle and reverted to a more traditional and tried role. This counter-revolution has lasted far too long and served as a roa'dblock to advancement and creative thought, he feels. "Many of the present problems of our University flow from the fact that so much energy is invested in fighting old battles that the University as a political community has not been able to turn its attention to the creation of a new and more appropriate vision for itself and the future,” Spitzberg writes. He holds that the administration has never really accepted the Colleges, either in their present, under-developed state, or in their goal as a catalyst and design for change. Significantly, Spitzberg harbors the belief that Ketter views the Colleges as both a threat and as inferior units. between the cooperation Since administration and the Colleges is crucial to their survival and success, the perpetual antagonism between the experimental units and the President can only have a pejorative effect. Spitzberg claims that although the Colleges can grow even in the face of —continued on page 2— For example, he said, “Is Ihe Administration’s orientation basically academic or basically managerial? We were not able to grapple with that question.” Cohen referred to a “growing body of literature” on the need for faculty evaluation of administrators and the methods other campuses have'em ployed. Same functions In a prepared recommendation, the Executive Committee claimed that the Senate’s Academic Planning Committee and Presidential Evaluation Procedures Committee, along with the University’s Task Force on Operations, are now filling the functions the new committee would be given. The Operations Task Force, chaired by Management Professor Frank Jen, has a charge “almost identical to that of the Cohen their the Executive Committee Committee,” in noted recommendation But Professor of English Max Wickert observed that the Task Force was created by President Ketter and reports to his office, making it useless as a check on the Administration. The voice on the Executive Committee’s recommendation that “no additional committee be set up at this time” failed by approximately a 2-1 margin. Talk their way out But the negative wording of the recommendation leaves the Administrative Evaluation Committee right where it has been for over two years nowhere. The senate has voted against “not forming” the committee but has yet to take any affirmative action on the issue. The Administrative Evaluation Committee thus exists on paper only delicately handled paper at that. In the current climate of Capen Hall, most observers feel that formation of the committee would be read as a direct challenge to the Administration. Carver himself told The Spectrum last month that the Executive Committee would be forced to form the standing committee “unless they can talk their way out, of it.” - — / Art aesthetics— P. 9 J, Abortion debate—P. 17 Campus Police renamed—P. 5 ,,v>-v;.v«vy»v*v*v»w«»v»wv»vkv*v»v»v»wv»v*\v»v«v»v»v»v»v«v»‘ Inside: $8000 theft probe— P. 2 /Avtt»,r,itiimiiiitiii.ix v-v ’ ’ � •■*■**( �M I person who had observed the pattern in the money runs by Kathleen McDonough Campus I JilOi University Police are questioning employees of both the I B bookstores and Alert Security Patrol Inc. following Monday’s grand larceny of over $5000 in cash and $3000 in checks. The loot was taken from a locked car parked outside the HIKcott Complex while a lone Alert Security guard was inside. Contrary to usual procedure, where guards travel in pairs, ap unnamed guard traveled alone Monday. After collecting the receipts from the Baldy bookstore, he left them sitting in the locked car while he went to pick up receipts at the Ellicott bookstore Reportedly, the guard did not discover the theft until he arrived at the Main Street Bookstore employees questioned in $8000 pilfering noticed the back door was unlocked.

Trede said he is uncertain as to which company is responsible for the loss. When Follett assumed control of the bookstores from the Faculty Student Assiciation (FSA) last fall, he noted, they retained FSA’s contract with Alert Security. In the original contract, FSA accepted financial responsibility for any loss or theft during the money runs.

He added that the thief is probably someone familiar with the bookstore operations. Trede concurred, “The average citizen doesn’t look into every car he passes. The thief could be anyone who’s aware of what goes on.” This would include Alert Security or Bookstore employees or any Spitzberg denounces Ketter administrative opposition, they will not have a significant impact on the has been debilitating, he says. “His continuing negativism has had a has been debiliatating, he says. “His continuing negativism has had a corrosive impact on the Collegiate system,” the report states. The Cornell caper Spitzberg cites two decisions made by Ketter which he feels arc manifestations of negative style and proclivity the than towards administration rather leadership. The first involves the management of the Katherine Cornell Theater, located in the HlliCott Complex near College B, the College of Creative Arts arid Crafts. During the 1975-76 academic year. College B launched a series of programs and artistic events at the theater which was open for experimental use. The next year, a series of concerts was developed there, creating a rare cultural success in Western New York Prompted by the theater's popularity, Spitzberg claims, the administration, at a established suggestion. University-wide bureaucracy to administer the theater, and charged rent to all groups, including College B, for its use. More importantly, College B was given no special consideration for the theater’s use, while both the Music and Theater Departments arg allocated budget support for their artistic activities. The result was to virtually cripple College B’s concert program. Ketter’s Despite the move's disasterous effects on College B.

FSA board member and former secretary Leonard Synder expressed concern about the recent theft. “We want to ascertain the vents he said.

The maximum prison sentence for someone who had not been previously convicted of larceny would be seven years. mtinued f any way or to allow College B special charges Ketter administration.” — Highhanded and unthinking Spit/.berg’s second example is with departments against residential students. As a result, Spitzberg claims, the Colleges now feel pressured to justify the use of space based designed for them on irrelevant Albany formulas. He feels that Ketter has made two poor decisions decisions which will have a profound and while at painful effect on the Colleges the same time refusing to be tough with the “negative view of the Colleges by the University he unthinking,” allowing DOB“to twist his arm and demand that the President pit academic access to the theater. Spitzberg called Keller’s decision an “essentially irrational judgement" and said it was prompted by the - - University’s decision to move academicdepartments into residential areas of the l lhcott Complex. This move reduced the scarce number of rooms available to students and had an exacerbating effect on an already serious housing shortage. Spitzberg says DOB pressured Ketter to reduce the University’s operating budget by disposing of academic space at Ridge the DOB. He claims these are crystalline examples of how negative style and view affects decision-making. The Spitzberg told Spectrum Wednesday that nothing has changed since he wrote the report. He said there are “no errors” in the document and still supports both the spirit of the report and its forcing it to move departments elsewhere.

WHEN: 2:30 - 3:30 pm Tuesday, Feb. 13th | WHERE: Placement Office, 15 Capen Amherst Campus Hall, [ i �f by Elena Cacavas (ft) Campus Editor University maintenance workers began to seal the flaking asbestos ceiling in Baird Hall Tuesday. Watchdogs of the project, however, are questioning the plastic sealant’s effectiveness and condemning the method of application. Heated debate over the health hazards posed by asbestos particles present in the air has drawn nervous attention from Music Department members, who teach and study there. The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) announced last week that the asbestos used as a ceiling insulator could be endangering the health of the building's occupants. The material has been linked to lung cancer and cancers of the throat, stomach, colon and rectum. Asbestos was banned nationwide as building material in 1973 nearly 13 years after the construction of Baird Hall upon discovery that a minimal amount of microscopic particles in the lungs can cause mesothelioma an incurable cancer. According to University Director of Environmental Health and Safety Robert Hunt, the plans to seal the basement ceiling were established “long before The Spectrum or NYPIRG became involved." The project which began Tuesday and continued through Thursday encompassed the basement hallway and practice room ceilings. Asbestos sealing begins; critics call it hazardous - — — No comment The sealant used in Baird is a clear acrylic plastic spray. A warning on the back of the 13 ounce cans states that the toluene vapors are harmful and spraying should be done only in ventilated areas. Although Hunt, who has stated that the asbestos fibers are not a health hazard in their present concentrations, refused to speak to The Spectrum. Music professor Robert Hatten veherhently sounded complaints about the spraying operation. According to Hatten, during the first two days of the spraying three different sprays were used indiscriminantly. If, he pointed out, this is the “experimenting” Hunt previously spoke of, it might not fulfill its purpose since no record is being kept of what is being sprayed where. Hatten, who has become the informal vocal representative of Music faculty and students on the asbestos issue, also stated that the spraying was done in the presence of students and by workmen “ill-protected” from the hazardous vapors. “The workers wore only thin masks and. when in the practice rooms, closed the door,” he said. Hatten pointed out that although the students were kept out of the small practice rooms for 30 minutes after the spraying, there was constant traffic through the basement and “there were a number of complaints about the fumes.” Effectiveness not tested Also cited by Hatten was “considerable fallout” of ceiling material resulting from the impact of the spray itself. Identifying the spraying operation as posing an immediate danger and discomfort, he questioned the long term effectiveness of the seemingly untested agent. Many of Hatten’s reservations were echoed by UB NYPIRG officials who claimed that while their organization supported the effort made by Hunt and desired to work jointly toward a satisfying agreement, NYPIRG viewed the sealant procedures as “totally unacceptable.” According to NYPIRG Chairperson Jay Halfon, the sealant used Crown “Kleer Kote 6004” has not been tested for Wednesday effectiveness by the- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). He or any tests are suggested holding off the project until further conducted. “We also feel that the area must be completely sealed off from people and completely cleaned,” said Halfon.

Proposals to remove the ban have been bouncing around City Hall for several months but none of them had been able to score any support until Tuesday’s unanimous decision by the Buffalo Common Council. Pinball has been banned in Buffalo since the early 1950's when several high ranking police officials were indicted for being part of a gambling ring using the popular machines for illicit purposes. The City Police Department has since attempted to block any efforts to have the ban tolled back. This time‘however v the proposal to allow the citizens to settle the score on the question, flashed through the Council with no obstacles whatsoever. Even University District Councilman Eugene Fahey, a past defender of the ban, rang out in favor of Tuesday’s measure. Fahey complained that the Council has played with the matter long enough. Filmore District CouncilwomaiT Shirley Stoiarski also lit up in favor of the referendum idea. Stoiarski had previously introduced a resolution to have the pinball ban repealed but withdrew it in late December while the bill was still being tilled back and forth in the Council. “I’m happy to see this," chimed Stoiarski. The referendum will now be flipped over to the city’s Law Department which will coin the exact wording of the question to go on the November ballot. General Education had a much better chance of passage had it been introduced earlier, hut the end of the committee’s nine-month study is rapidly approaching. “I'm really upset with the program as it stands,” Hade said. The General Education Committee, as a standing committee, will however, continue to supervise implementation. While Phase I is slated for fall 1979 implementation, Phase II will not take effect until fall 1980. According to Peradotto, no student currently enrolled will be affected by the new distribution requirement.

Money for fall L979 is essentially fixed, he said. Foster said the threat of a change in the University presidency would probably not affect the implementation of a General Education plan.

University Police: new name, but same game The name may change, but the faces remain the same. University Police is now officially the Department of Public Safety. The alteration, instituted in Albany, is an attempt to give the department “a wider connotation of public service,” said State Director of University Public Safety Platt Harris. Harris told The Spectrum that the term “police” generally refers to law enforcement. He said that with the alteration in title, the new Department of Public Safety will also be concerned with safety and traffic. Harris explained that the SUMY Chancellor’s office created a task force in 1974 designed to study the public safety model for police, which had already been instituted in some mid-western states. One recommendation arising from the task force was the adoption of a Public'Safety model for all SUNY schools, he said. Harris noted that the new approach “is a of doing the same last year. It is all too clear that the export of nuclear For instance, if SUNY Buffalo already incorporates safety and traffic in its program, then the change could be “considered a cosmetic one,’’-said Harris. Willing This is the second time in the last three years that the UB security organizatictn has amended its name. In fall of 1976, their official title of Campus'Security changed to University Police. Ombef reaction to the change here seemed to be low-key. One Department of Public Safety officer explained that he “believes most people prefer University Police, but they are willing to make the adjustment.” As far as structural adjustments go, the new Department of Public Safety will correct the seals on its vehicles to display the new logo. However, one officer was not sure if the modification process would be thousands of atom bombs, instituted immediately. Although the name is different, both the officers and the telephone number are still the same.

However, since Cunningham also maintains that PCIU files are confidential, and Mayor James,Griffin opposes any sort of public check on the police, the brouhaha continues to brew. ® $ • I ■ 315 Stahl Rood at Millersport Hwy. • S | i -688-0100* t J > �editorial t in Hunt on guesswork The pretenders To the Editor Here is a problem: at this University the faculty feels largely left out of the decision-making process; the Administration appears preoccupied with management over academic leadership; and a few fists hold all the reins of power. Here, on the other hand, is an idea. True to its bureaucratic birth, the idea came as a committee: a group of faculty members who study the decision-making process and evaluate the talents and motives of the people in power; an on-going review of the men who are usually the reviewers; a formal, up-front check on the leadership of the perhaps should not be upset at this particular time. Now, we have our own, certainly not the challenging climate is Administration, but if the political not right, then let's hear it.

Our opinion-for degree of hazard is also based on the time-weighted Federal standards for the exposure to asbestos in the work place. The Federal standard provides for two particles, 5 micrometers in length per cubic centimeter. The National Institute of Occupational Health and Safety has taken air samples in public buildings where asbestos-type insulation materials were used. Their findings indicated “0.01 0.03 fibers per cubic centimeter.” Visual observance is enough to indicate conditions do not resemble conditions experienced by a person in a mill, shipbuilding, bagging, or one cutting into - pipe wrappings. The statement of January 31, 1979 relative to mesotheliomas (not'mensothelioma) is inaccurate. In studies of lung cancers of all types for workers in close contact with heavy concentrations of asbestos the mesotheliomas were found in low percentages. These same studies report no members of the public-at-large as having been affected. The only non-workers were family members or persons within a “few hundred yards down wind from a mill.” In this same article the protestors clearly state standards do not exist for the non-work place. What would be the value of air samples^” In making a judgement as to whether our considered opinions are “guessing,” we hope you will also judge the opinion of those who have no expertise. We are concerned that you do the readers of The Spectrum a great disservice by limited discussion of the situation. Ruben E. Hunt Director Environmental Health and Safety Editor's note: We hope it was unintentional, but your letter appears to confuse two separate judgements. We did not claim that you were guessing on the, level of asbestos that the U.S. says is dangerous. We assume that you are aware of such standards. Rut, we did claim that you were guessing on the level of asbestos in Baird Hall. We claim 'this because it has 'become clear that the only true gauge for such a factor is an air monitor, which you have not yet installed. Your statement that “visual appearance is enough "' appears to support our judgement that you have been guessing. Visual appearance is not enough, two outside experts have said.

Ellen Baer �dayfridayfridayfridayfnd feedback ■8 vj * Garver speaks To the Editor You oblige me to respond by your continued ill-tempered attacks. Since such charges and counter-charges are a form of idle gossip, which distract us all -from more important matters, 1 shall omit detailing my complaints with The Spectrum and begin with the question of principle, I am speaking for myself only, not for the Senate. . Openness and Privacy The fourth estate is not an unmixed blessing. The Open Meetings Law, giving vast rights and powers to the press, clearly restricts rights of privacy; and what is called “the public’s right to know” is regularly invoked to justify invasion of privacy. A free and inquisitive press is a necessary balance to bureaucracy, but I am unwilling to renounce the claims of privacy. This tension between openness and privacy is endemic rather than occasional, and the legalisms will never do justice to the conflicting claims. Nonetheless 1 must in part be legalistic. The Senate. Anyone who examines 1. carefully the statutes of the State University and the directives coming to this campus from legal counsel of the State University in Albany understands that the Faculty Senate has, in the eyes of SUNY administration and its legal experts, no legal standing as a government body. The actions of the Senate require the endorsement of the President, since it is the President who has the legal authority to .determine matters of policy at the University, including those upon which the Senate acts. Since the President’s adoption of a policy is legally both necessary and sufficient to put the policy into effect, nothing that the Senate'decides is ipso facto legally enforceable. In particular, the resolutions of the Senate do not, in and of themselves, have the force of either legislation or administrative regulation. Therefore the Senate is neither a governmental body nor a quasi-governmental body. Nevertheless, as Mr. Rosen says after invoking the letter of the law, it is the spirit of the law that counts. Whether the Senate is or is not a public body is really irrelevant. The Senate does take final action on matters that come before it, and since these matters are of concern to the University as a whole, the Senate meetings are generally open, and ought to be. (1 cannot recall an exception, and it is difficult to conceive a legitimate one.) The Executive Committee. The FSEC is 2. quite different from the Senate. To speak first legalistically, even if the Senate were a public body within the sense of the Open Meetings Law, the Executive Committee has no power to make final determinations of matters of substance upon which the Senate may act. The job of the Executive Committee is to prepare business for the Senate and occasionally to give advice to the Administration. Giving advice, letters, writing appointing committees, and preparing business for the Senate do not constitute taking final action. Therefore the Executive Committee is not a public body even to the extent that the Senate might be considered one. Consider it this way: Every birth is a public event and must be publicly recorded. But it would be absurd to argue that every action which leads to, or which might lead to, or which prepares the way for a birth must equally be a public event and be publicly recorded. The FSEC- and other Senate committees conceive and propose, but only the Senate takes final action. The Spectrum argues that much, of what the FSEC does is very important, and I am gratified that they think so. But I must protest that importance is not to the point: the acts leading to conception and birth are vitally important, but their importance is no good reason for trying to bring them into the public domain. The policy of the FSEC has been that persons Our policy on , present other than members are present as invited guests. The minutes regularly so list them. It is unusual to turn anyone away ( The Spectrum is right about that),, even if the courtesy of advance notice is omitted. It has further been the policy of FSEC to publish its minutes. The charge that FSEC operates in secrecy is absurd. Few committees act so openly. Nonetheless I cannot recommend that FSEC declare its meetings open to the press, so that reporters are fully free to report whatever is said and whatever-is presented to the committee. Some things that come up are just not ready for publication. The recommendations tentatively presented of the Standing Committee oh Faculty Tenure and Privileges at the meeting of January 17 (mentioned in The Spectrum editorial of 2/2) are a case in point. After discussion with the FSEC, Prof. Solkoff, acting on behalf of the FTP Committee, withdrew the recommendations for reconsideration of their wording and resubmission at a later date. This is typical of what happens in committee work, and it is absurd to claim that it must all be public. No final actions or even final recommendations should hide behind privacy and our policies and practices prevent this but I do want to protect the privacy of committee action. Therefore I will recommend to the FSEC that it stand firm against The Spectrum's threats and that it continue to admit only its invited guests to its meetings. — - Past and Future 1 must make five points for the record; (1)1 did not “concede,” or even say, that the Administrative Evaluation Committee must be constituted unless the FSEC “can talk their way out of it.” (2) I did not say at the December meeting of the Senate that I knew nothing of the report of the committee chaired by Prof. Ira Cohen. (3) The meeting in question took place on December 5, not December 6. (4) Approval by the Senate of a recommendation to establish a standing committee is a direct mandate to the FSEC. and should be respected as such, but it does not have the force of law and, contrary to what you say on Jan. 22, does not constitute “legislation creating it.” (5) Mark Meltzer was persona non grata at the FSEC meeting of January 31 because of a breach of confidence on January 17. It was he and he alone who was excluded. When he said that he might send up another reporter, I raised no objection as presumably he can verify, since he was taking notes at the time. As for The Spectrum's future welcome at FSEC meetings, that is not entirely up to me. Few people normally have as invited guests persons who are actively and unrepentantly engaged in-ill-tempered attacks on them. We all have our faults, however, and reconciliation is always possible, though the way to it is sometimes hard to find. Witja a recognition of the FSEC for what it is, and a willingness to respect its processes rather than to turn it into a quasi-governmental body, I see no reason why the FSEC should not welcome The Spectrum's representatives as in the past. For all its faults, The Spectrum has been a livelier paper this year than in many past years, and it would please me immensely to be able to resume cordial relations with its staff. the ‘Marshall case’ The Spectrum has received a number of letters on what haj become known as the Richard Marschall Case. Many of these letters take exception with certain facts or observations about the dispute. It has become quite clear that there are a number of versions on the incidents leading to the mandatoru floor meeting and Marschall’s summons before the Inter Residence Judiciary (IRJ). It is safe to say that there will never be agreement on many of the details. It is not The Spectrum's purpose to serve as a forum for a futile debate on minor, sometimes trivial discrepancies between versions. It is likely that we could fill this column for several weeks with letters meant to “correct” other letters. We have already published too many such letters, but there is nothing we can do about that mistake. No more letters that quibble about who threw what at what time etc, etc. etc. will be printed. If there is something else constructive and illustrative to be said about the case, we will consider it. Our aim in running the story the first time was not to examine an intra-floor dispute, but ot talk about a general issue (dorm rules) through a specific case (the Marschall case). Our letters policy will, from now on, reflect that original goal. Thank you.

IbJr Yet Fundalinski v was not pretentious about his mimicking work since the wood he used was rather beige and the nylon sheets were white. If he had stained the wood red or even brown, the object’s use would be diminished. LP Lundy’s "Urban Animation” conceived of urban man as a shadowed beast, a primitive hulk or man-thing jumping off his canvas. This artwork was I mean, it was even tacked rugged and passionate with red tacks upon the wall. The artwork was almost too emotional; and I wondered if the artist portraying the faceless beasts really believed that man had risen up from his state of nature to civilization. Or perhaps Lundy thinks we are — Albright Knox aesthetics Modernism and time honored motifs by Harold Goldberg I The opening of In Western Ateiv York, 1979, the local artist’s exhibit at the Albright Knox Art Gallery last Monday evening gave the feeling of a mall at Christmas-time where everyone moves in many directions, so that concentrating on them is boggling enough to induce a faint. Of course, prople met jjeople, were seen, wore chic punk dutflts, danced to the rock band, the Vores, got drurjk, and just plain forgot. Yet there was no cocaine about, reminding that this was Buffalo chic, not New York chic. So it was a stuffy mall, with a carnival ambience, staid because it was confined. If I may generalize, much of the art of the folks exhibited was very pop, taking off from ratner classical, time honored motifs, adding little twists that either worked technically or artistically; but rarely did both dovetail to near perfection. A lot of it meant something though, but that was too subjective to be taken seriously. Much of the show, in this carnival atmosphere, whether pieces were bland, bright or pastel, photos, paintings, sculptures or mixed media, was like looking at good or amateur Jackson Pollacks or poorly calligraphed Chinese menus. Nevertheless, this feeling may have been due to the hustle bustle atmosphere and my- negative feelings toward it. For it to be worthwhile, the artwork would need to break through all this. (Remember, writers are more or less influenced by their environments, and this place yielded most upsetting feelings.) “Nylon Vector” v ■ About ten works of art broke through to strike ' ' Bogdan J. Fundalinski’s “Nylon Vector" was a brilliantly energetic wooden object, crafted in five angled frames to form an eight-foot high curve. “Nylon Vector” jutted wonderfully, able to take in some of what was around it, spewing it out or ' regressing. The brightness and wryly thoughtful animation in Dennis Barraclough's “Abandon The Stage," reminded of pop graphic artist Spain Rodrigues in its stylized concentration of moods. The grin of the painting’s central character seemed a bit mad and a bit happy, somehow combining a Gascoigne-like grief in joy, the ultimate oxymoron. The subject is near the canvas' center, but not enough to show tacky bilateral symmetry, not enough for the subject to be at ease with his surroundings. And his fingers point in two directions. What to do? What to do? He worries. It may seem inglorious because "Abandon Stage” is less facile, but it was much, like that fabulous graphic, Alfred E. Neumann. Beasts by man Suzann Phelan Denny’s “Sentries" was a bit of a frightening look at animals instinctively caring for one another. Her two asses seemingly guarding a giraffe as its spindly legs hold up its bulky body is touching but tense. Being too contrived, her idea that the animal world, the world of nature, is a loving but desperate world of relatives is nothing new. The beasts are akin though they exist in separate hemispheres; they may be brought together by man. But her acrylic and pencil on paper showing dark, cluttered, foreboding shadows is a dire way to view any idea of survival of the fittest. The mixed media “I Know The Evening” by Gerard Roger Denson, a gauche portrayal of the tropics with kites, seemed merely to be an advertisement to attract folks to the painting or to Florida. ItTriust be that he views winter as something making the body frigid, making your bubble gum immediately freeze into a brittle balloon. The artist even had a poem to go with the painting of palms, beach and flowers. But the words were vapid, self-serving and typical. This piece was fun; it attracted attention. I’m sure the Florida tourist council would pay money for the display.

I’m sure the Florida tourist council would pay money for the display. Ann Rosen’s untitled punky photography was a joy to behold because the poetry hand-painted onto the photos was appropriate, if somewhat forced. The pastel paint around the young people’s eyes and the darkness of the pictures showed the energy of youth ready to burst. No matter if punk is chic; it worked well. One may say that the swishy, spray poetry was unneeded to explain the pictures; but I wouldn’t. “The Antler Shed” by John Pfahl was a rather humorous, surreal color photo with colors vivid and contrasting. The many antlers on the side of a shed and the proper shadows parodied someone’s bizarre hobby while an animal skull on the shed roof must have questioned the macabre quality of collecting antlers. Whether Pfahl created this scene, whether he tampered with the scene, makes little difference because the statement was so delightfully poignant. John Maggion’s SX-70 pictures were like Don Rodan’s "Cliches” which appear weekly in the Village Voice. Vet the new head of the Hall wall’s Gallery seems to be less concerned with humor than with the emotion of irony. His "Blue Green” showed a once flawless car door handle, but the finish of the car door had been scratched by use. And his “Fruit Bowl” was a contrived still life, witty but not cynical. The red browns of a table and fruit bowl are augmented by the digital clock reading 10:56, forcing the electric red to the foreground. Time stands still and it doesn’t. Fine ambiguity.

Encouraged by the success of the Beatles, thousands of teenagers in Britain and America began playing the guitar. Imitation was rapidly becoming the sincerest form of flattery. Artists such as Tommy Steele, Adam Faith and Cliff Richard were quickly becoming the imitators of American singers Elvis Presley and Little Richard (Cliff Richard was even billed then as “Britain's Elvis Presley"). Without much conscious effort, a do-it-yourself movement exploded among the British youth; playing an instrument became socially desirable. Pop groups began to form,'evolving the straight-ahead rock sounds from the bluesy feel of American artists such as Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley. Musical energy and youthful defiance (perhaps defining would be a better term since it was merely a time for the culture to grasp identity) were substituted Tor virtuosity. The pop charts were soon full of Liverpool names the Searchers, Freddy and the Dreamers, Billy j.

But in all cases, the music is once more speaking about, for and directly to, the culture of youth; differing immensely from the fantasies of singer/ songwriters and so-called "progressives” that inhabited the early Seventies.

The scenes of the safe robbery provide the film’s greatest suspense with the audience moving towards the edge of their seals as the action mounts. Unfortunately, The Great Train Robbery starts off slowly. In fact, up until the theft of the second key, occurring halfway through, the film is tedious and tiresome for the audience. This is due in part to dwelling loo long on unnecessary dialogue. This seems to be ,a malady Crichton has experienced before and has yet to remedy; Coma's opening also dragged on until the real plot began to be told.

Sadly, The Great Train Robbery also marks the end of a distinguished career in film for the late cinematographer Gregory Unsworth, who died shortly after the completion of this film. Unsworth's 2001: A Space Odyssey, garnered several Oscars and British awards during his career and also recently shot the for effects scenes special Superman. His talent shines through in Train Robbery as his use of mirrors, black and white film and other techniques aid Crichton in developing the characters and recreating the essence of 19th Century Britian. With Unsworth's aid, Crichton is able to create an entertaining show. The slow start is what keeps the film from being a masterful work. As it stands, The Great Robbery is not as Train captivating as thrillers can be. Now playing at the Como �� •• I Blindman's _vinyl solutions bluff Whatever else might be said about Martin Scorcese’s 1976 film, Taxi Driver, it must be recognized as a carefully crafted personal vision. As such, it is, even to those who didn’t like it, unforgettable. The film is redolent with rapturous images; fractured neon efflugendfe fluttering through a taxi’s rain-sheeted windshield, fetid steam rising viciously out of a manhole into the damp city air, blanched whores carousing under the harsh incandescence of a porn-palace marquee, and Cybil Shepard, pure white and untouched, billowing through a crowd of callow Manhattanites. Under Scbrcese’s scrupulous direction; Paul Schrader’s rough, rumbling script, RoJjert Dc Niro’s true-souled and smoldering performance, and the moody photography of Michael Chapman are all brought to a unique and personal fruition. On Sunday, January 28th (a night that will live in infamy), ABC aired the remains of Taxi Driver. I use a funereal metaphor here not merely to be expressive but because, for me, watching felt like being at a wake in which Taxi Driver was the body, its vital organs plucked by ABC’s scissor happy morticians. The prudish censorship the film was subjected to could only have been a slight improvement over setting loose on the reels of film a berserk blindman wielding a scimitar. Dismembered by commercials and the censor's pinking shears, ABC's Taxi Driver cannot be passionately identified with Scorcese's film. It was not merely watered-down and sanitized; the heart that beat so turbidly in the original was cut out and replaced by a cold, dead transplant. . “Editing for television” means that censors cut out anything which is "vulgar” (i.e., obscene and scatological references) and any nudity or overtly "suggestive” postures.

After all, most of today’s disco borrows a lot of its "orginality” from jazz. Did you ever listen to the album versions of Donna Summer's hits? But, even though it’s hard to realize, disco and jazz (DAZZ) don’t always mix. Many times, performers excel in one, but bomb when attempting the other. George Benson seems to be representative of the exception. He’s updated his music by incorporating his long undiscovered voice. His newer music has a soul tinge, and he still plays his guitar. Even with Benson, though, I still contend that his magical guitar fingers have been greatly repressed. True, he’s accepted in both genres, but does he truly excel in each? Donald Byrd’s horn should stay in the jazzone. No serious disco-nut would give this album a second listen. Nor would any serious jazz devotee. It falls So where does Byrd go from here?

The cabbie, who is no better than his passengers, views the passing street scenes with all the indignation of a Baptist minister. The righteousness feeds his simplistic and dangerous notions of heroism until in a* paroxysm of bullets and blood, he kills several of these street people. The film ends by showing us Travis, Itemized by the papers and acquitted by the courts, back on the streets, prowling again in his yellow cab. The irony spirals out from Travis and embraces society as a whole/ But by excising the vulgarities of Travis’ character and by tidying up the violence of his murders, Travis becomes the hero he thinks he is. This extirpation of Taxi Driver'% central irony leads to an irony of its own; the petty moralism focusing microscopically on the minor cosmetics of character (sex and propriety) results in a significant immorality. By disinfecting the ugliness of Travis’ world, television has effectively reversed the original verdict and given a nod of approval to his homicides. While whitewashing its walls, the censors have let the house burn down. The final insult came when ABC forced "the filmmakers’* to disclaim in a closing insert the immorality ABC caused in the first place. This amounts to being punished for being the victim of the punisher. We viewers should not stanpl for this. Whenever a film likely to be butchered comes to the tube, don’t watch it.

For sheer technical quality it is the best album (short of direct-to-disc cuttings) I have encountered. The album is clean and well-formed, and has been carefully wrapped in a plastic inner jacket. On the turntable it reveals quadrophonic compatibility and it dynamic range more than wide enough to capture the gap between a single violin and a full brehestra. The London Philharmonic’s interpretation, however, seems uninspired and rushed. The first side of the album features one of the most widely known concert pieces in existence, and the other side is an interpretation of part of Dante’s Inferno, certainly a work which would inspire emotion; yet both seem lackluster. There is not even a hint of relief from the pokerfaced air of seriousness that Rostropovich injects into these tales of passion and horror. Although the orchestra gives more than due credit to-the main themes-and melodies of Romeo and Juliet, Rostropovich has neglected the smaller Rootie's Pump Room threads of color and countervoicing which differentiate an overture from a set of songs. The sharp, high notes of the work are cramped and hurried, never given enough time to breathe. The only antidote for the conductor’s treatment of the classic love story is a dose of the emotion of love itself. Tchaikovsky weaves the fire and brimstone of Dante’s Hell with a love story in Francesca da Rimini, but the orchestra seems to have problems in traversing,from tender love to fiery punishment. The liner notes describe the pair of lovers condemned to Hell as "hapless;” no better term could be found for the strait jacketed approach of this release. The liner notes are in themselves comical: at one point Rostropovich, writing about Tchaikovsky, says that a tragedy in his life 'would make him more subjective and possibly cause him deep personal sufferings’. The same depth of thinking seems to have been applied to the interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s music in this recording. The London Philharmonic Orchestra may be setting a trend with this emotionless recording; watch for a soon-to-be-released pressing by the —Steve Bartz Cybernetic Symphony Orchestra.

However well those men and women heeded Pound’s imperative, historians and social critics have, in recent years, begun to reexamine our past, attempting to analyze our historical heritage in new ways, in terms of theories and concepts that provide a fuller, more complete and complex understanding of American life. This “school” of social historians (in treating a large number of diverse scholars, in such an amorphous group, I do not mean to imply theoretical or ideological harmony) identifies as its forebears such scholars as Thorstein Veblen, W.E.B. DuBois, E.P. Thompson, and, more recently, Eugene Genovese, David Montgomery and Herbert Gutman. smljtetiEin These workers, despite their humani dignity, appear as victims of a created and manipulated evironment, an urban setting designed to maximize production and profit, however clothed in moral and social platitudes. in ■o woman told Dunwell, “This town is still in the Dark Ages. When the mill moved out of there it was hell. Look at the old people. Vegetables, God bless’em, who can’t talk about anything but what they used to do for Cluett-Peabody. We’re'hanging on by a thin thread, just living from day to day. We have too. You can t look to the future, I he only one I want to look to the future is my son." But the children don’t always fare much better: several photographs show sons and daughters trapped, left in the same set of circumstances. Some have escaped through education, but the life of the mill town still declined; individual salvation still leaves the social question to be answered. Tamara K. Hareven and Randolph Langenbach structured Amoskeag: Life and Work in an American Factory City (Pantheon, $15) along lines similar to Dunwell s books, with a slight reordering of priorities: the first section, “The Setting,” is quite brief; the major concern of the book is with the interviews, presented as uninterrupted memories, with residents of Manchester, New Hampshire, home of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company. As with so many mill towns, Manchester was created by the company along lines designed to retain a ‘benevolent control’and maintain productivity. Life in mill towns such as fvTmchester was not always depressing; 'management and labor- often shared a proud sense of identity as citizens of "Amoskeag.” And life for workers was enlivened by such paternalistic activities as those sponsored by The Amoskeag Textile Club, which organized picnics, plays, baseball games and a technical school. Working class life also protected itself though the institutions and activities of which Herbert Gutman’s recent essays have reminded us: church activities, ethnic neighborhood saloons, community support. But beneath this picture of labor dignity lurks the hard, unyielding forces of profit and pioductivity. One old man interviewed in Amoskeag, who had left the textile trade in disillusionment, was embittered, fifty-two years after the fact, to learn that his work record at the mill had him classified as an “agitator.” Nor were blacklists uncommon; to lose your job in a mill town was to lose a good chance to survive; frequently, a fired “agitator” had to leave town. And, of course, the decline and decay of mill towns is all too readily recognizable today. Mill buildings stand empty, slipping into further disrepair, except for the rare instance of conservation, such as the project being carried out in Waltham, Massachusetts, where the buildings of the Waltham Manufacturing Company (the first industrial “assembly line” organization in the United States) are being renovated as housing for the Two recent publications are fine, handsome additions to this work. Steve Dunwell, a professional photographer, has done a commendable job as an historian in The Run of the Mill: A Pictorial Narrative of the Expansion, Dominion, Decline and Enduring impact of the New England Textile Industry (David R. Godine, $30). Dunwell’s discovery, as he explored the “major themes of industrialization’’ amidst the mill towns of New England, was a “bittersweet legacy power and progress, despair and decay.” Run of the Mill is divided into two parts: “As It The Story” and “As It Is The Legacy.” The Was first part is composed of Dunwell's recounting of the history of the textile industry in America, interspersed with archival drawings, plans and photographs; the- overview is well-done, though not startling, notably the selection of illustrations. The power of the book lies in "The Legacy,” the second section, in which Dunwell weaves together his own narrative, the transcribed words of present and former mill workers who he has interviewed, and photographs which he took during elderly. But more than buildings have decayed. With the his research.

With this second album, the dash successfully combine the civil strife imagery that bears relevance in England with a strong respect for melodic responsibility, even an inference of the Beatles. Important album, the Clash understood where punk was coming from and where "punk” is going to. Power chords abound. No Wave, Various Artists (A&M) A compilation of transatlantic bands that apply both unusual and absurd twists to rock and roll. As the title indicates, this package is designed to make a statement on what could be considered the selling of the underground, one of the unfortunate characteristics of the "New Wave.” The Majority of the groups appearing here are British; U.K. Squeeze, Police, Joe Jackson, The Stranglers, The Secret, Klark Kent, with one of the more notable light-hearted bands, The Dickies, stemming from the San Fernando Valley. Of the no-nonsense stuff here, Police’s "Roxanne” and Joe Jackson’s "Got The Time” deserve attention. "Roxanne" has gained airtime in this city, which is something in itself. Elvis’Costello and the Attractions, Armed Forces Costello stands as one of the prime examples of an artist that capitalizes on the anxieties of the traditional rock and roll. With My Aim Is True, the idea was the Fifties, right down to Elvis’ frightful Buddy Holly stance. On This Year's Model, the message was Sixties’ extraction; Fafisa organ, ? and the Mysterians, almost the Doors. And also consistent with the progression of these two albums was the "New Wave” twist, the lyrical imagery of contemporary society, not the musical society .It makes for brilliant counterpoint. Now comes Armed Forces. What this album is to Costello is wha* Abbey Road was/is to the Beatles. And the inferences to the Fab Four are even stronger here than with the Clash. The shape of things to come Ultravox, Systems of Romance (Antilles.); Devo, Q: Are We Not Men, A: We Are Devo! (Wkrner Bros.) The key to both of these bands is Brian £no. Not only did Eno forerun and contribute much to the present atmosphere of technical rock (incorporating synthesizers and treating instruments) by his formation of Roxy Music, but his currently extensive engagements as the producer of the Seventies’ leading technocratic bands makes him the key, pivotal figure to the sound of the Eighties, but one year away. In the case of Ultravox, futuristic, scientific language firmly places the aural imagery of the band within an understandable context; synthesizer based songs with titles like "Slow Motion" and "Maximum Acceleration.” As for Devo, although the band has expressed distress with Eno’s participation as producer-influencing-artist, Eno is still the major factor to the recorded success of the band and thesPolished advancement of De-evolution as a fad. Both Devo and Ultravox belong to that notion of 70’s populism, both strive to bring eccentric textures to the tried and tested riffs, both seem to believe the theory that the guitar will soon become obsolete; another projected nod toward the physicality of future rock. Much of the success of these bands relies on exposure. For the most part, inclusive catch phrases tend to lull the public into'thinking that a wide variety of music is the same.

According to the Bureau ofLabor Statistics, the cost of living in Buffalo has risen approximately 44.1 percent since November 1473, meaning $25 has.the buying power now that $14 had then. Miller said the check cashing service now under the control of FolleU College Stores Inc. already runs the risk of accepting bad checks since students do not have bank accounts with them. Two years ago bad checks cost FSA $7500 according to Check Cashing Manager Ralph Trede, but he noted that the number shrank to $4000 last year. Trede said the decrease was due in part to the implementation of a . “bad check” list, i m J “It a Student writes several had checks we put him on the bad check list and the student can’t cash checks for the remainder of the school year,” Trede explained. The student remains on that list even if he pays off the checks, Trede said. “At one point we were considering setting up a surveillance system to cut down on forged and bounced checks, but we felt that would be obnoxious,” he added Trede said the service’s $.15 per check fee is used to defray costs such as personnel salaries, equipment and bad checks. The check cashing service will not accept third party checks those written by a third party to the customer because of the risk “We don’t know where the check is coming from,” Trede said. Miller advised students to open up an account at a local bank forbroader check cashing services. Next year, M&T Bank will open up a trailer on the Amherst Campus to aid-students located there, Miller said. - as- ri*A>'' irr . \vk m Check cashing service will not raise $25 limit - \ , B123 95 ®, v ‘ss* Mi JSte; Student Health Insurance Factions gear up for abortion fee debate by Joe Simon Spectrum Staff Writer The furor surrounding tfoe debate over abortion coverage in next year’s mandatory Student Health Insurance policy will reach a critical stage early next month.

The UB Rights of Conscience Group was formed last semester to fight the abortion clause on grounds that a student should not have to pay for something that he or she morally opposes. The Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse (CARASA), an outgrowth of Women’s Studies College and the University’s Women’s Center, has strongly supported the abortion coverage, and advocated an expanded policy that would cover “all types of women’s health needs,” said a CARASA spokesperson. Ironically, the March 8 hearing falls on International Women’s Day. O’Brian Hall Petit Larceny A woman reports the theft of $50 from her wallet.

Krason has explored an option plan that would allow students to delete the abortion coverage from their policy if they so desire. “We’re definitely in favor of an option,” he said, “It’s worked at other schools and I’m sure it can be arranged here.” CARASA spokeswoman Arlene Fisk rejects Krason’s option proposal, claiming “The nature of group insurance is to get the most people covered for the lowest price. If an insurance company starts making options, the price will go up.” Fisk said at Harvard University there is optional abortion coverage, but.said that the total cost of the policy “is twice what it is here,” and that the refund for removing the abortion clause “was only around one dollar.” Issue or conscience? Krason believes that his group and CARASA are talking about two different things. “I think they’rfe arguing abortion as an issue;” he said, “we’re devpted to rights ofconscience.” Fisk said that “since the 1973 Supreme Court ruling, abortion has been a woman’s right; but that means nothing if they can’t have it. Not every woman can afford $300 or $400 for an abortion.” She stated that every female is entitled to abortion coverage in her insurance policy. CARASA is presently soliciting signatures on their own petitions, but no final tally was available. Fisk was somewhat skeptical of the Rights of Conscience’s petitions, indicating that there is no way ofJcnowing if the signees are actually students. She said that CARASA’s petitions, on the other hand, require a student number. At last November’s Sub Board meeting, the Rights of Conscience Group protested against the mandatory plan, but encountered an angry group of women who endorsed the abortion coverage. Sub Board Chairman Jane Baum said that at the March 8 meeting each group will be given equal time to state their position, as will any other student. Baum defended CARASA’s claim that an option would drive-up the cost of the policy. “It’s not exactly feasible,” she said, “although we haven’t exhausted that possibility.” Baum explained that Sub Board will conduct its own survey late this month in order to determine students’ overall attitudes towards the issue. When asked which she would pay more attention to, the groups petitions or Sub Board’s own survey, she replied, “Definitely our survey; some people will sign anything.” - - — — — - — has been organized to offer to you new improve some and techniques you have found useful in pursuing your studies and career.

One plan, the McCall-Lewis bill, although it is yet to be proposed, is an attempt to allow students the vote in their college communities. Currently, students must apply to the local Board of Elections in order to qualify as residents their in college -• communities. Student Association (SA) President Karl Schwartz termed the existing process . “discriminatory against students" because students can be subjected to various questions by the Board of Elections. He said these questions, which pertain to marital status, financial support, and intentions of permanent residence, allow local Boards the power to discriminate against students applications. Complications bill, The Goldstein Amendment 561, would amend the election law to increase the accessibility of absentee ballot applications. Currently, students must apply for an absentee ballot application through their local Board of Elections, return the . application obtain an actual to by G. Gasper ballot, and then vote via mail. A position paper prepared by the Student Association of the State University (SASU) states, “The absentee ballot system is a cumbersome, and complex unnecessarily confusing process.” Since present law requires that voters personally and individually request an application for an absentee ballot, the Goldstein bill for wide would provide distribution of absentee ballot applications meaning a student could pick one up at any Board of Elections. The bill would also allow a voter to submit a written request for an absentee ballot, rather than go through the existing two-step procedure. - Psych workshop on resumes The Undergraduate Psychology Association is sponsoring a resume writing and job interview workshop February 15 from 3-5 p.m. in 316 Wende Hall.

The undefeated Stefancin came back to dafaat Jacoutot 7-5, handing Jacoutot his first Division III dafaat this season, take him down again to achieve a tie. Unable to do so, Jacoutot suffered his first loss to a Division III opponent this season. “We didn’t expect Tom to lose,” noted Bulls’ assistant coach Scott Stever, “but he (Stefancin) is a good one. We’ll see him in the nationals.” enabled regular 134-pounder Ed Tyrell to move down to 126 pounds, where he easily defeated Oliver! game regular at 126 pounds, not only moved up one weight class, but A shakeup in the UB lineup Sanford commented.

As a result, Oliveri put up a game fight, but \yas worn down by Chad Gross and lost a 12-3 superior decision. John Hughes of UB held a 2-0 lead over Tom Cua of John Carroll going into the third period of their 142-pound bout, but he quickly tired and Cua came out on top, 4-2, giving John Carroll a 10-3 lead in the team scoring. In the middleweights, UB took advantage of the visitor’s- line-up weaknesses. An advantage in riding time gave junior Tom Efedn a hard-fought 5-4 victory, and freshman -Scott was Slade impressive as he scored a superior decision at 158 pounds to tie the team score at 10-10. In a key mat£h, Butch Boftone was unable to handle John Carroll’s Dennis Hareza and dropped a 6-2 decision. The loss at 167 seemed to take the momentum away from UB, as Joe Roth and Mike Trauman scored consecutive pins in the second period at 177 and 190 pounds to give JCU an insurmountable 25-10 lead. Paul Curka remained a bright spot at heavyweight as he won his 13th dual match without a loss this season as he toyed with Mario A|emagno 18-6.

The two were separated for a moment, but the 6’4” Adamson apparently uttered something the Buffalo center chose not to ignore and Bouie landed a hard overhand right. The two big men then squared off while a series of broke scuffles out smaller between the two teams. Once the ruckus was stopped, both squads found themselves minus one player. Bouie and Adamson were each hit with two technical fouls and thereby ejected from the — ' game. Bouie’s early shower left the Bulls without their two top scorers and rebounders. Forward Tony Smith, considered by coach Bill Hughes to be UB’s most valuable player, missed Thursday personal action for night’s reasons. Bouie, Buffalo’s most dominant force, leads in both scoring and rebounding. Without the two, everybody in Clark Hall expected the 5-12 UB cagers to wilt at the sight of the nationally-ranked Division 11 Golden Knights. But they barely shriveled. Scoring burst Mark Sacha missed on the two foul-line attempts following the technicals, but George Mendenhall and Mike Freeman responded with back-to-back buckets to knot the score at 30. Buffalo then forced Gannon into their third straight turnover by constantly harassing the guards outside, preventing any passes from reaching the agile Golden Knight center, James Bolden. Patiently for an looking opening, Mendenhall found Sacha all alone for an easy bucket. Bolden came right back with two for Gannon; but Tony Boston split the middle, drew a foul and tossed in a bank shot from the left side. The Buffalo burst of scoring put the Bulls up by three; but the roof caved in when Gannon picked up 11 straight scores, many coming from underneath, and coasted the rest of the way. “The rest of the guys really Free rides to hockey games Beginning tonight and for the remainder of the season, buses will available to the Tonawanda Sports Center, home of the hockey Bulls.

Come on out and cheer ’em ont Royals ‘dive’ into meet; swim by Keuka College On one of those nights where everything was going right, swimming Royals’ coach Pam Noakes had no choice but to enter swimmer Holly Becker in the one meter diving event. Becker, who captured four first place crowns during the Royals’ 80-49 win over Keuka College, took her most coveted by topping the field in diving. “She’s not even a diver,” Noakes noted following Tuesday’s win, “but she dove because we didn’t have anybody else.” Sporting a 5-1 record, UB’s vastly improved swimmers need virtually no additional personnel to sweep through the meet. Amy Brisson matched Becker’s four wins with triumphs in the 100-free, 50-free, 50-fly and 200-free relay. Becker’s three otfier firsts came in the 50-breast, 200-medley relay and 200-free relay events. Missy Quine also kicked in with three wins herself. Quine swept the 100- individual medley, 100-breaststroke and 200 medley relay. The Royal swimmers’ next home meet is Friday, February 16 against Nazareth College. up the slack,” related Hughes. ' “George Mendenhall played with a lot of heart. On picked paper, Mendenhall was less than impressive. The 6’3" guard turned the ball over eight times, hit only four of 15 shots and pulled down only two rebounds. However, when the Bulls needed a leader on the court immediately following the fight, Mendenahll filled the bill Bad trade Despite the losing effort, Hughes evaluated the game as the best effort of the season. “It was the best physical effort, especially since we were minus our two biggest scorers," he related. Had the Bulls been able to play the entire game with Bouie, it might have been an entirely different result. “It hurts us,” he admitted. “There’s no question about it. We can’t afford to trade a Bouie for an Adamson, not when they have four big guys on their bench,” Hughes acknowledged, “but those things happen.” Leading the Bulls’ scoring in the losing effort were Freeman and Sacha with 12 each, Sacha, starting in place of Smith, responded with a superior effort. The junior guard hit five of eight from the field, including two long jumpers from the side in the early going to keep the Bulls from ever falling behind. He also kicked in with five rebounds by hitting the boards with undaunted agressiveness.

Mike Freeman of Buffalo is waiting for the arrival of an in-bounds pass while James Bolden (Gannon, 54) waits to pounce on Freeman.

Hunt told The Spectrum on January 31, “In order for there to be a concern, you would almost have to be working with asbestos blowing in the air. Someone who would be applying the mixture, where it would be loose and blowing, would need to be protected.” Protection on order Sources within the Maintenance Department told Hatten on Wednesday that proper masks for the workers are “on order.” NYPIRG Official Bob Franki told The Spectrum on Monday that consultations with an EPA chemist revealed that the use of a sealant in Baird Hall could be thwarted by the thickness of the ceiling. Franki said, “Any insulation over three-quarters of an inch thick may result in added peeling, rather than effective sealing! due to the added weight of the deteriorating adhesive.” Hatten, who coordinated a petition drive for an air sampling among Music faculty and students, said Wednesday that new information from NYPIRG scientist Walter Hang showed that some confusion could result from a sample. He explained that the safety standard set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) would probably be above the level of asbestos in the Baird Hall basement. Pilot project “But,” Halten cautioned, “that standard was designed to prevent asbestosis, a fibrous matting of the lungs, rather than to be a standard relating to mesothelioma which is the incurable cancer directly linked to asbestos fibers.” Hatten added that according to Hang, there existed no safe standard for carcinogens. NYPIRG said that last August, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Joseph Califano alerted all state governors to the dangers of low-lever exposure to asbestos. To date little attention has been given the alert, however, officials believe that the Baird Hall issue may be if effectively handled a model pilot project. They are scheduled to meet with Hunt today Nevertheless, those confronted on a daily basis with the health hazard remain, “puj off with Hunt’s method of non-assurance,” according to Hatten. Referring directly to the dangers of asbestos fibers in the lungs, he said, “It can take up to 40 years for neoplasm (abnormal tissue growth, such as a tumor), to develop. We refuse to be involved in a numbers game this dangerous.” Collective needs help The Farm City Collective is looking for a faculty member or graduate student to serve as a principle investigator in a Department of Energy Alternate Technology Grant.

South District Councilman James P Keane said, “I think this thing has gone too far. I’m very satisfied with PCIU ” Keane expressed the fear that increased scrutiny of police conduct and the threat of punishment would inhibit police operations. “That policeman is not going to make an arrest," he said. Other members of the Council predicted that passage of the resolution would lead to a “witch-hunt.” Who knows Councilman Fahey brought the discussion back to the original point saying, “There’s some question.about the way the PCIU does business and this is a of this legitimate concern council.” The amendment and the resolution were passed by identical 114 votes with only Keane, Councilman Lovejoy Bakos, Norman North Councilman Daniel T. Quider and Councilman-at-large Gerald Whalen voting no. Cunningham said Wednesday that- he would give full cooperation to the Council committee but the question of what records the Commissioner will be legally required to surrender is still unsettled.

Fahey believes that the Erie County District Attorney would actively prosecute any police offers who commit acts of brutality or misconduct and feels that a Civilian Review Board wodld become a “kangaroo court.” Rosche, whose Bar Association Human Committee Rights proposed a number of reforms of its own, countered that argument criminal only that saying complaints receive action from the DA. He cited statistics from 1975., showing a discrepancy between the number of misconduct complaints received by the American Civil Liberties Union 175. “People complain to the ACLU all the time,” he said. He also commented that the problem is generally isolated in the black community and tends not to get broad coverage in the press. The Police Benevolent Association (PBA), the union which represents the police, is opposed to the concept of a civilian review board and disputes the existence of a “wave of misconduct or brhtality.” The jlso has criticized PBA “unsubstantiated conclusions reached by a certain tabloid in our community.” The PBA was of the alluding to the Courier Express including whose coverage of police brutality charges has been especially Association’s investigation of the PCIU, Mayor Griffin’s opposition to any sort of regulation of police operations, and the generally poor relations between the Griffin administration and the Common Council, it remains to be seen what form Cunningham’s cooperation will take. current T-he Council controversy still leaves unresolved the core of the problem of whether to create Asome sort of citizen mechanism to oversee police conduct. The Offermann Committee report saw no “insurmountable legal obstacle to the formation” of such a mechanism. The report also suggested, in the event that the PCIU is later found to be incapable of performing its function, several forms that a review mechanism could take, including: appointment of civilian members to the PCIU by the Commissioner or the Mayor; institution of an advisory board; or the creation of a Review Board with power to investigate police activities and impose disciplinary action on police officers. In any case, the Offermann Committee declared that the Police Department should “be not only accountable to the Commissioner of Police but it should be accountable to the public.” - 3^ GET for Black America? “Equity Issues for Black America” will be the topic of Congressman John Conyer’s discussion today in the Moot Courtroom at John Lord O'Brien Hal).

Construction may be stalled Ketter opposes the tuition hike issue still unsettled , by Kathleen McDonough Campus editor The proposed $100 tuition increase for 1979-80 is still churning, but there’s a new twist. Sources from the Division of Budget (DOB) have claimed that without the increase, Amherst Campus construction f may be indefinitely stalled. State Budget Director Howard F. Miller told the Courier express that unless the increase is passed by the State Legislature, DOB won’t be able to sell the necessary bonds to finance $55 million of new FIGHT THE HIKE: Some 100 SUNY students greeted legislators and garnered significant media roverage in Albany Monday as they rallied on the steps of the Legislative Office Building. The student contingent, of Busload of UB protesters meet with legislators to battle tuition ' by Daniel $. Parker . construction at UB. Not so says UB President Robert L. Ketter, who is adamantly opposed to the hike and has even suggested a tuition decrease. He said further construction is not necessarily dependent on higher tuition. “DOB can manipulate numbers to make it dependent, he said. Miller even went so far as to say Ketter is “being dumb” in opposing the increase. “Amherst would benefit the most from an ” increase.” Miller predicted. Once construction funds are approved by the legislature, explained UB Assistant Vice President and Controller William H. Baumer, the state must borrow the money through bond sales. However, there must be some degree of assurance that the interest on the loan can be repaid. DOB wants to use the tuition increase to back up future bond sales, Baumer said. , largest contingent News Editor •ALBANY Citing serious inadequacies in Governor Hugh L, Carey’s proposed SUNY budget, approximately 100 students from across the State gathered Monday to protest and lobby for additional financial support from the State Legislature. Monday’s student effort served as a prelude to a massive demonstration scheduled for March by both SUNY and City University of New York (CUNY) students The rally day organized by the Student Association of the State Trustees is the only body University (SASU) drew students authorized to increase tuition, officials student and State from five SUNY schools Buffalo, Albany. Gerteseo, acknowledge that the Governor and Potsdam. The can force the Trustees’ hands by Oswego protestors thrust themselves upon counting on revenues the State meeting the Capitol, with would expect to receive from a — — legislators Capital costs But Ketter maintained that DOB has enough money for construction, and that it is obscuring the real issue. There are two budgets, he said, one for capital costs and the other for operating costs. Capital costs apply to all consturction, while operating costs pay salaries, utility bills, and equipment purchases. When UB joined the State University of New York in 1962, Ketter continued, it was established that revenue generated by SUNY would pay off construction costs. “Revenue” includes tuition, fees and income from the Upstate and Downstate Medical Centers. The state was to provide the operating budget. However, he said, a clause in the agreement stated that tuition revenue could also be used for “general purposes”. DOB has, in recent years, used SUNY revenue to partially back operating costs, Ketter said. This year $88-90 million will go towards operating costs, he noted, with $104 million projected for next year. The debt service, or money owed on already completed construction, is about $144 million, Baumer explained. He said, tuition revenue for this year is expected to be $141 million, with total revenue set for $232 million. which UB comprised the majority, gathered not only to oppose Governor Carey's proposed tuition hike, but to protest the recently released SUNY budget which is $46 million short of SUNY's requested increases. and rallying on the steps of the Legislative Office Building later in the afternoon. The day of student politicking comes on the heels of Govenor proposed Carey’s executive recommended budget. Carey SUNY receive an additional $32 million, far short of SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton’s request for an additional $78.3 million and about $18 million shy of the amount needed to cover SUNY’s inflationary costs. SASU President Steve Allinger, noting in funding inadequacies for tuition increase. from any one SUNY school. Schwartz and SA Director of Student Affairs Scott Jiusto outlined Carey’s proposal and suggested tactics students should use when. meeting with their representative. The two student leaders emphasized the amount of State aid to private institutions compared to public institutions. Schwartz told the students: “New York State gives more aid to private institutions than the other 49 states combined, and ranks 47 th in aid to public institutions.” , In addition, he charged the State’s Bundy Aid program a plan that gives $100 million to private schools is abused. “Bundy Aid,” he noted, “is un-checked, based on the number of degrees conferred, and adds to the disparity between private and public support.” Upon arrival in Albany, UB’s - — Bundy Aid blasted The day’s events began with a two-hour bus-aisle briefing by Student Association (SA) President Karl Schwartz. UB sent 45 students to Albany, by far the —continued on page 2— building repairs, equipment library replacement, and acquisitions, said, “This budget threatens SUNY’s continued existence as a first-rate University system ” Private aid negative. The As Baumer sees it, there are three alternatives, first two deal with reclaiming the nearly $100 million tuition now used for operating costs. “We (SUNY) could go back and ask the deal to be scrubbed,” he said, and then raise the money from another source. Or the SUNY system could absorb a $ 100 million cut. Baumer estimated that UB’s share of the loss would amount to $12 million, equivalent to a loss of one in eight faculty members. The third alternative, Baumer continued, is the tuition increase. He considered the hike the least objectionable chocie. Ketter realized that withdrawing revenue from the operating budget will create a deficit. But, he said, the tuition hike is “totally camouflaged.” Ketter said he first wants DOB to be honest about the increase and its contribution to operating revenue. Then, he said, the resulting deficit can be dealt with either through cuts or a possible tuition increase. Of course, Ketter noted, state aid to private institutions cuts into public education money. New York State provides independent schools with more aid than any other state. Private aid is increasing while public financing decreases, Ketter argued. Moreover, he added, some do not discriminate forms of private aid such as Bundy Aid between state residents and o'ut-of-state students, as does public funding. - - - ** Inside: New budget threat—p. 4 / Hidden hike Allinger said that, although does budget Carey’s not mention a $100 specifically tuition increase, the proposal is so skimpy that the SUNY Board of Trustees will be forced to raise tuition in order to cover existing inflationary costs. Allinger, who Carey’s proposal termed “a defacto tuition increase,” told The Spectrum that “SASU made the Governor back down by letters and sending writing telegrams.” He said, “Carey has taken the language [for the tuition increase proposal] out of his budget and blamed the idea on the Chancellor, but there is virtually a tuition hike proposed in the executive budget.” Although the SUNY Board of Carter’s Nursing nix—P. 5 / SASU President Stave Allinger 'Budget threatens SUNY's continued existence' ’Fascination’—Centerfold / Photos by Tom Buchanan Cross-country skiing—P. 12 �M On bus to Albany A rare form of camaraderie As the individuals emerge, gliding in from different entrances, joining together to convey a central theme, the ballet encompasses the stage. But the stage took on new dimenions Monday in Albany. Students came from across the State, from various SUNY schools, determined to fight a tuition more determined to convey their increase and message. The message tvas one that many had worked hard to dramatize. Certainly credit must be given to officials from the Student Association of the State individual student (SASU) and University government leaders, but the crux of Monday’s performance rested in the cast. Forty-five students were ready and waiting at 6:30 a.m. for the bus at a time when everyone knew that whoever was awake must be going to Albany. There were no other possible reasons for fighting the morning cold and weather warnings, or fot attempting the Capitol roundtrip in one day. - UB students spent five hours on the morning bus. Certainly the Student Association's (SA) free doughnuts were a hospitable gesture to the collection of off-campus commuter, Amherst and Main Street, freshman, senior, up- and down-state SA President Karl Schwartz Stressed funding bias Tuition battle contingent was Joined by other SUNY students. The protestors met with $ASU Legislative Director Larry Schillinger to receive a schedule of lobby groups their assigned legislators. the day, students could be seen in offices wearing large blue and white SASU meeting buttons and with and Throughout The day’s events were encouraging. Although not everyone was assured of success with their lobbying efforts, most felt that students’ voices had been heard or at least listened to. But that was only Act One, for 45 Buffalo students and one bus driver were informed that the New York State - Thruway was closed becausyof gusting winds and snow. But the same group that opted to fight the odds of tight-fisted, two-faced, smiling politicians in Albany chose to tackle the New York and won. It was 2:30 a m. when the bus pulled into campus. Students had spent 12 'h hours on a bus not very well designed for sleeping. But throughout the day there seemed to be a rare form of camaraderie a feeling readily lost in the hustle and bustle day-to-day, class-to-class, library-to-work goings on. — Thus, the curtain closed on the performance. Although most ached from tired legs, the students’ political ballet had played a unique show of power, intelligence, and awareness to its legislative audience. “Everyone is happy at the ballet,” sang one woman on the bus; ready to return for an encore in March. - - Responses or their aides. the lobbying efforts varied. Thelma Larkin, a to nursing major from Buffalo, said Assemblyman Arthur Eve was not in favor of a hike and “very receptive.” Main Street Campus freshman John Black explained his Senator State representative. Abraham Bernstein, “didn’t support the tuition increase and would like to see tuition go down to encourage a declining student enrollment.” Bitter winds However, Governor’s resident Robert Senator Buckley - noted that his Richard Schermerhorn a tuition hike is said “inevitable.” - students revealed that the person they spoke with did a lot of listening very and little commitiag.

Schwartz asserted, “It was a very positive day for students and we served a very function.” important He said many legislators were informed “and at least it’s in their minds.” Whan asked if he thinks a tuition hike will go through, Schwartz said, “I think our chances are 50-50. They’ve improved.” �Resolution would rename Amherst after Rockefeller The boulder-filled land at Amherst will soon become the “Rocky” Campus if Representative William A. Pauly (R-Amherst) has his way. Pauly has asked the Erie County Legislature's support of a resolution to rename the Amherst Campus after former New York Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller, who died January 26 of a heart attack. Pauly submitted the resolution, called a “memorialization,” because Rockefeller did so much for UB and for the State University system as a whole. Considered by many as “The Father of the State University System,” Rockefeller was responsible for much of what UB is today, Pauly said. The former Governor created the Heald Committee .in I960 to investigate problems in education dealing with enrollment, goals and finances. The Committee recommended the strengthening of private colleges and universities, the realignment of the responsibilities of higher education in New York and the establishment of two new universities in the SUNY system, one on Long Island and the other upstate. SUNY Stony Brook was built to fulfill the former recommendation and in March of 1961, UB was incorporated into the SUNY system to meet the Hatter. Same goals The Heald Committee recommended at least the two University centers in Western New York and on Long Island, although four were eventually formed by Rockefeller. At the time of the Heald Committee study, Albany was known as Albany State Teachers College and SUNY Binghamton was tiny Harpur College, a liberal arts school. According to UB Assistant Vice President for Finance and Management William Baumer, UB agreed to merge with the State University system because its goals were essentially the same as the State University’s and because a new University in the Western New York area would surely overshadow it. “It was the only way the University would survive." Baumer said. Yet the benefits of joining SUNY were many for UB- Tuition dropped immediately from $1000 for upper division students and $900 for lower division students to $325 for both groups. And the tremendous increase in resource money enabled UB to expand along with a maturing Baby-boom SUNY' generation. Both Squire and Clement Halls were completed during Rockefeller’s first term in office, and virtually the entire Amherst Campus was funded by his generous appropriations. County Legislator Pauly said he expects little trouble convincing the Legislature to endorse the renaming of Amherst at their February 15 meeting. If the resolution is approved, it will be sent to the New York State Legislature and the Board of Trustees of the State University for consideration. Pauly expects to contact LIB administrators and student leaders shortly for their opinions. Mark Met tier ROCK OF EDUCATION: A resolution now before the Erie County Legislature would dedicate UB's Amherst Campus to the lata Nelson A. Rockefeller. The former Governor consistently supported the expansion of higher education programs statewide and was behind the University of Buffalo's merge into the State University system in 1962.

UB could lose an additional 20 faculty positions through what University President Robert L. Ketter called an “insidious" budget cutting device. Although slated to lose 24 faculty and 12 staff positions outright UB is threatened with an additional cut of 20 positions under the Division of Budget’s (DOB) “faculty rank distribution adjustment.” According to Acting Executive Vice President Charles Fogel, DOB made a comparison of all SUNY institutions with a “peer institution.” Fogel explained that after determining the distribution of faculty members at various levels Assistant Associate, (Full, Instructional), Professors and DOB used the average salary as a standard to determine how much would be appropriated to each SUNY institution. “They decided we were getting $216,000 more in salary allocations than that which we should be getting,” explained Fogel. Fogel showed little alarm at these deductions, however, and possibility rejected 'the of additional cuts. “We have to come up with the $200,000,” he said. not accomplished by then,” he said, “the $216,000 will be taken out again.” Demotions impossible Ketter cited a state Agreement of the late 1960’s that established a distribution of 30-30-30-10 associate, assistant, instruction) pertent SUNY-wide. Reforms in 1976 saw DOB moving away from the percentage distribution principle toward a system of dollar distribution. that, explained Ketter essentially, DOB feels UB has too many top ranking professors as compared to its number of lower positioned faculty members. He argued, however, that DOB is not willing to disclose the formula they worked with, or identify the member institutions of the “peer” group. “We only know that the net result is our having to eliminate $216,000,” he said. Terming it “impossible" to demote professors who have reached certain professional levels, Ketter pointed out that the difficulty with Fogel’s solution is that “people do not always leave the areas in which we need to He too reduce.” expressed concern over the consequence of not meeting the $216,000 guideline. “The real problem could come next year with (full, Ba A Professional Seniors and Qcad Students A new graduate profile center hasbeen established to provide a Profile Scanning System for commisaion free placement consultants throughout the U.S. Enter your preffie into the system and expandyour career opportunities Send lor FREE brochure and entry form to; Graduate Profie Center P.0 Box 271 Buffalo, N Y. 14221 COURT REPORTER In Only 15 Months • • • • • Prestige position Excellent salary Approved for veterans Free placement Financial aid available RCI Call now for April classes 6354 Transit Road, Depew — 684 2569 another cut,” Ketter said When the budget was released last Wednesday and the University was directly confronted with 24 faculty and 12 staff position cuts within the campus, Fogel said that a hiring freeze, which kept open after faculty positions members left, would allow the University to assume the cuts without actual lay-offs. Ketter said Monday that administrators are now trying to determine how of the additional 20 many positions can also be absorbed by freeze savings.

HEW surveyed nearly 1000 of the nations medical and nursing schools in order to determine whether an applicant’s views on abortion and sterilization could affect their admission. Dean of the UB medical school James Naughton said that questions dealing with abortion and sterilization are not put to every student. “They come up indirectly, through the student’s own comments and his recognition of the issues and problems in medicine today,” Naughton said. Students’ response to such a question does not affect their admission, Naughton said, stating that entry is based on admission tests and college records, as well as the interview. Noway Student Re p r-ese n tatrvwto the College Council Michael Pierce has a yjew on Bierce said there is no way that the answer to a question on abortion cannot be a factor in admissions, and different, he wants the practice stopped. “To Say that the answer to a question on abortion doesn’t affect admission is ridiculous,” Pierce declared. “It’s like a judge telling a jury to disregard an answer...there’s no way to remain neutral.” He added that “...just because they say it doesn’t affect admission is no reason for them to invade a candidate’s privacy Naughton said that abortion views represent only a segment of the larger significance-attitudes and values. “The issue is that a doctor needs a broad social awareness in order to help his patients.” Naughton explained. “The interview process is not designed to put the student on a spot, but to help us determine where the student stands on the issues facing medicine, and how lexible he is in his views.” Pierce feels that questions on abortion should not be asked at all He wants a written guarantee from University President Robert L. Ketter and Naughton, stating that the abortion question will not be Used to determine admissions. He said he will ask for such an agreement at the next College Council meeting. “Maybe I’m cynical, but there doesn’t seem to be any other way,” Pierce said. “It’s hard to trust this administration.” -Steve Lantz i-Bob & Don's Mobil 1375 Millersport Hwy.

Griffen and Cunningham have also informed the bar association that any further discussion of the matter would be pointless. The bar association had first recommended in November that the Police Commissioner's Investigating Unit (PCllI) adopt a number of new examination procedures including a citizen’s review committee. Such a committee would not be actively involved in PCIU investigations but would monitor and report on the PCIU’s methods and procedures once every six months. Cunningham insists that such a committee would eventually become a "review board” and refuses to even consider the proposal.

Monday's Albany rally to fight the tuition hike showed UB again leading the activist a heartening sign. pack with 45 of 100 protestors Starting with the November 3 Carey rally that shocked many student leaders with its massive turnout and collective exuberance, UB has been steadily gaining a statewide reputation as the SUNY school most willing to fight back. Elaine R. Meiser remembered As we read the pages of The Reporter and The Spectrum week after week, we see the tensions, differences of opinion, and problems that attend the operation of a bureaucracy such as this University. We tend to forget the day-by-day events and the people involved We make these statements because on January 26, I97d, Maine R Meiser, a student who cared so much about learning and for this University, died Maine was an atypical student who wanted to complete a degree and "finally pay taxes." Her death should not go unnoted by this University which Although student activism is still nowhere near what the times demand, it has shown signs of life this year, due mostly to the efforts of a few people. Student Association of the State University (SASU) officials have finally been able to illustrate the potential power of the statewide lobbying group by seizing the tuition issue almost before it became one, and then proceeding to scream sensible things in the right ears about the inequities of a tuition hike. SASU leaders have proven themselves dedicated, and, more importantly, well informed marshalls of student and as her DUE advisor, we were tremendously impressed with this desire, against and in a field not great odds, to finish her training really related to what she hoped to do. She majored in history for the sheer joy, as she put it, of studying the past to see what happened. Elaine was also a courses To the Editor - meant so much to her Flame was a striven and a giver.

Many illnesses and a broken leg nly temporarily kef)t her away from her activities caring Elaine did Crucial too are the efforts of student Association officials who have latched on to the tuition issue with the same respect for factually-based argument and have pressured state legislators in this area to fight the increase. Political activism in the 1970s requires a new strategy combining media attention with well-heeled statesmanship and simple hard work to win a series of minor victories that, hopefully, add up to some measurable gain. The measures of the current student fight may not be fully realized this year. Tuition may yet rise, the SUNY budget may continue to shrink, but attitudes among both must be changed before we students and their opponents policies a that have been stifling can hope for reversal of the students may achieve attitudes that SUNY.

Republication of any matter herein without the express consent of the Editor-in-Chief is strictly forbidden. . . „ Carlos Vallar.no From my title, my interests and duties are obvious: the promotion of UB athletic teams and athletes; therefore my motives for writing this editorial are somewhat selfish. As a veteran observer of athletics at the collegiate level, I have been puzzled during my brief tenure at UB over the apathetic attitude of students toward the athletic program here. Why, for example, do UB's home sports events attract “crowds” of less than 500, more often less than 200 students, faculty and staff from a University of 30,000 and a metropolitan area of more than 1.3 million residents? Through this guest opinion, 1 am posing the question specifically to each student at the University in the hope that answers will be volunteered (addressed to my office, 136 Crofts Building, Amherst Campus, office). No telephone calls, please, since my regular duties are sufficient to occupy my time, and if you will keep letters to The Spectrum to a minimum 1 will compile the results of this “poll” for a report to The Spectrum at a later date. Naturally, I am aware of the problems of the split campus, busing and of the large percentage of commuters enrolled at the University. These problems will be solved in part when (notice I did not say “if”) construction of athletic facilities has been completed at the Amherst Campus. And if you cite the losing records of some of UB’s athletic teams, I will counter with the 1978 National Championship wrestling team that drew less than 200 spectators to most home matches, and the perennially successful baseball team that plays before a fraction of the student body at Peele Field. But it has occurred to me that perhaps there are other reasons for the disinterest of the general student body to the UB athletic program, and the Athletic Department would be interested in those reasons since there exists a desire to develop and an promote attractive, successful athletic ” Prodigal Sun . . . . ........

In spite of this la«i, she had support. . i . I 1 11 Many students might not be aware that admission to all home athletic events is by l.D. card, including season passes to “major” team events such as football and ice hockey, and that reduced ticket rates are often available for events at opponent sites. You should know that, at present, athletics and other extra-curricular activities at UB are funded by the Student Association through mandatory student fees. In addition. UB’s male and female athletes are also students and would appreciate vocal support from their teammates. Sports might not be among the priorities of a college education, but they are part of the total experience, enjoyed by those who participate and those persons who attend the collegiate events as spectators. The return of varsity football to the UB campus, through the efforts of SA leaders, has been relatively well received by the student body. But the largest home crowd of 3,400 during the 1978 season (that included many alumni, friends of the University and fans of the visiting opponent) is not impressive when compared to the potential of the campus and the Buffalo area. UB’s athletic program has undergone significant changes in the past decade: the elimination of the varsity football program in 1970 (revived in 1977), and a change in NCAA status from Division 1 to Division III, not by choice of UB’s administrators, coaches or athletes. The “Death of UB Football” following the 1970 season was directly related to diminishing gate receipts. The program oculd not support athletic grants-in-aid as a result of a community “turn-off” to UB caused in part by the student “riots” of the late 1960s. The student-athletes of the 1970s have suffered the consequences. The decision to compete at the non-athletic scholarship Division III level was made when it was realistically determined that: l.The program did not support itself; 2. Slate funds could not be used for athletics. One of my most difficult tasks as DS1 has been in explaining to representatives of opponent schools with student enrollments of less than 2,500, and the media, why a major university of 25,000 students competes at the Division 111 level. Optimistically, UB could, in addition to being a great educational institution, have a major athletic program comparable to other state institutions, have a major athletic program state universities in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Texas, etc. Critics will argue that UB should not be an athletic “factory,” but is there serious opposition to a representative, successful athletic program that will bring national 'attention to the University, the city of Buffalo and Western New comparable to other York? To paraphrase UB coach wh posed the question to a New York State legislator during a recent tour of the UB campus, including its inadequate athletic facilities; “Who is the president of Penn State University? . .Who is the football coach?” If, collectively, the student body at UB is not interested in a successful athletic program that will be a source of pride in bringing credit and fame to the University, we should be advised. From you non-attendance at home events, it’s one of the few nswers we have for our ' * . student-sthletes. Your response to this request will serw as a measure of apathy, if it exists, or interest in UB’s athletic program. �«iMniKW Editor's Note: Fascination this week examines three issues: the volatile political situation in South Asia with a focus on ethnic unrest in Pakistan and the omnipresent possibility of superpower intervention in the area; the forces behind the never-ending headache that is inflation; and nuclear proliferation in the last segment of a series that began last week. Below , Avinash Mathur makes his debut in international political analysis. The last few months have seen much turmoil in South Asia, an area of vital strategic importance to the United Slates. Iran has thrown out the Shah and seems headed for the formation of a Moslem Republic: a coup in mountainous Afghanistan has installed a pro-Soviet Communist government which is present!}’ locked in a vicious battle with an entrenched rebel army in the Cast: and Pakistan, still wrangling with vexing ethnic problems, now has to face hostile Afghanistan, a neighbor that seems intent on brewing up even more trouble for Pakistan by aiding and abetting factional ethnic strife. In light of these developments it seems we have another tx’litieal powderkeg on our hands in South Asia. And if the past 30 years are any indication, the U.S. seems to continually involve itself In complex and explosive situations which invariably face us off against the Soviets. Avinash cautions that wed better look before we leap. Bill Kaiser, also new to Fascination, explains the - TJ « vl H 3- (0 (/) a weekly supplement statistics behind inflation, the premier economic malaise of the West. We are entering a new era, an era of fiscal austerity, of public outcry against raxes, and of beefing up the military at the expense of social services. Meanwhile inflation runs rampant devaluing our wages and savings, diminishing our buying power and wreaking havoc on the economy. Finally. Walter Simpson concludes his article on the nightmare that is nuclear proliferation. What will happen when unstable regimes with an axe to grind possess the bomb? Worse still is the possible scenario of a terrorist group employing the bomb in a ruthless game of nuclear blackmail. by Avinash Mathur Pakistan is in the throes of a rebellion which promises to shift not only existing boundaries, but superpower spheres of influence as well. The explosive situation in Iran, the Soviet inspired coup in Pakistan and the internal dissension in Pakistan make superpower interference in this region, labeled “the Crescent of Crisis” by National Security Council Chairman Zbigniew Brezinski, well-nigh inevitable. This grave crisis threatens the dismemberment of Pakistan by a Soviet Afghan effort of abetting local separatist tendencies in an attempt to secure access to the strategically invaluable Persian Gulf. This region, hotbed of intrigue, was once the northwest frontier of colonial India. Then, as now, it poses monumental problems for a i ' J v ; i vv * The right horse The Soviet role in the chaos is clear.

The fierce Baluchis and the equally redoubtable Pushtans instilled terror in the hearts of the British-lndian Army. Faced with failure, the British decided to employ their time-honored policy of “divide and rule.” This pernicious practice of arbitrarily delineating boundaries with complete disregard for ethnic and linguistic realities k>wed the seeds of the present, rebellion. It is the same colonial practice that was employed in Africa, and plagues the continent to this day. Pakistan, after gaining independence from Britain in 1947, chose to ignore the opposition of the two antagonistic tribes fo a Pakistan union. Once again, a newly independent country asserted the legitimacy of a boundary which had been created in an illegal manner by an expansionist colonial power. Pakistan has traditionally taken an unusually hard line with its uprisings. In 1973, when local leaders in Baluchistan made fresh assertions of their will for independence, then Prime-Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto reacted by imprisoning them and sending 70,000 troops SOWBAl f A Pakistan in throes of crisis ", revolt. The Baluchis in turn started a guerilla war encouraged and aided by Afghanistan and India. Former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi, after the liberation of Bangladesh, sought to take advantage of the un stability in the region by offering assistance to the rebel tribes in the hopes of further carving Pakistan. This effort met with little success. Again in 1974, Pakistan, with the collaboration of Iran, launched a merciless attack to systematically kill 17,000 tribesmen. Even after these mass killings, Pakistan was unable to>quell the revolt. Taking Moscow’s cues The Baluchi and the Pushtan seccessionist movements have gained fresh impetus from recent events. Radical changes in ,the region have transformed a once idle threat of independence into an attainable goal. A coup in April ’78 installed a puppet government of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.

Central to the problem are two ethnic groups who have asserted their desire for independence since the nineteenth century; The Baluchis and the Pushtans inhabit a vast expanse of land in Pakistan, Afghanistan and a section of Iran. In the nineteenth century Great Britain had dominion oi/er most of India. In an effort to define the region’s boundaries the English launched bloody expeditions to pacify the two groups. security. the emergence of a communist government at the doorstep of Pakistan has shed new light on Russian motives.

These internal convulsions make Pakistan incapable of reacting to external interference. From an Indian standpoint, the most ominous development in this affair has been the return by the U.S. to its previous policy of pumping arms into Pakistan. This new move threatens the stability of the of region by the resumption arms race which neither country can afford. Furthermore, an advance. If the Soviets are successful in bringing about another pro-Moscow regime of Baluchistan or Pushanistan, the U.S. will find it difficult to allay the fears of It’s allies. The Saudi Arabians in particular are extremely jittery after the overthrow of the Shah, a development that has brought Iran to the verge of Civil War. Decisive action U.S. power is undergoing a rapid decline throughout the world. In areas where the Russians aren’t diminishing their power, the Americans seem to be losing their hold. Decisive action must be taken by the U.S. so that it is able to act first to this crisis, not merely react. First, the U.S. must stop all arms shipments to Pakistan and India. It is pathetic to hope that arms shipments to Pakistan and India. It is military ruler of questionable competence, can bring about stability. This would simply repeat the Iran blunder. Secondly, the U.S. must insist that force not be used to suppress the Baluchis and the Pushtans. for Finally, the U.S. a peaceful solution to the problem. Pakistan should be convinced to move towards loose federalism. Autonomy instead of separatism should be encouraged for the two tribes. If the U.S. does not implement these three measures to conteract the threat of dismemberment, Soviet hegemony in this strategic region is assured. �i by Bill Spectrum Copies Kaiser Staff Writer In 1967, a pair of straightdeg Levi’s bli sold for $4.79; today they sell for around The price of a pound of hamburger has leap $.59 in 1967 to about S1.49 today.

What can be done about at the non-proliferation policy is incoherent and doomed to failure. It amounts to too little, too late. The nuclear genie is already out of its bottle; ten years ago, it might have been possible to stop it. Nonetheless, we could be doing a lot more than we are. Like the NPT, our' government’s non-proliferation policy is infected by the “peaceful” atom the myth that got us into this mess in the first place.

Carter’s rationale for this continued involvement in nuclear exports is that is makes countries dependent on us and gives us leverage we wouldri’t otherwise have. The problem with this approach is that it doesn’t work. Other nuclear exporting countries are willing to supply nuclear technology on easier terms. Countries wanting to go nuclear can turn to them or blackmail us into making concessions. The end result, either way, is no leverage. The World countries obtain nuclear power and do what they want with it. Ultimately the Carter approach promotes the spread of nuclear technology, contributing to a worsening situation. singling out plutonium and By plutonium-related elements of the nuclear fuel cycle as “the” culprits, U S. policy remains blind to the truth that the real enemy is nuclear power itself. Military and civilian applications of nuclear fission cannot be separated. Once other countries obtain reactors, their interest in ahcieving energy independence from outside powers leads them to acquire or develop enriching and reprocessing technologies. From there, the bomb is a short step away. Third Nukes for profit Economic interests perpetuate America’s schizophrenic approach to non-proliferation. Like weapons exports, U.S. reactor sales to foreign countries help alleviate balance of payments problems by bringing our exports more into line with our imports. To this end a federal agency, the Export-Import Bank, has tinanced numerous reactor sales to Third World countries. In 1979, for example, Hx-Im Bank financing for nuclear exports will be $1.6 billion. Meanwhile, our nuclear industry has been aggressively selling its wares to all comers. With all the public opposition, rising costs, and regulatory and waste disposal problems here in the United States, domestic sales of nuclear reactors have collapsed since they peaked in 1973, For more favorable economic and political corporations like General Electric and Westinghouse have looked to the foreign market, f. An example of this “run away reactor phenomenon is the Bataan reactor scheduled for construction in the Philippines. According to the Friends of the Filipino People, a nationwide conditions, anti-martial law group, the sale of this plant is being financed by a $644 million loan by the U.S. Export-Import Bank in spite of the fact that Westinghouse paid a relative of Philippine President Marcos a multi-million dollar bribe to secure the contract. Corporations like Westinghouse and GE have a vested interest in the nuclearization of the world. The foreigh market is particularly attractive to these multinationals because in many third World countries, like the Philippi^ 5 . the right to question and protest government decisions does not exist.

This index emphasizes the prices of a wide range of goods such as cotton, lumber, and steel. The problem with the WPI is that it counts some prices twice and even three times. For example, a change in the price of cotton may be reflected in the price of doth and subsequently clothing. The most widely accepted index of inflation is the GNP Deflator. Economists prefer the Deflator because it avoids the double counting of the WPI and. unlike the CPI, it focuses only on the price ot currently produced goods and services. All three indices provide a basic framework for the measurement of inflation. By viewing wages, the money supply, unemployment and real GNP (GNP adjusted for inflation) an overall view of inflation can emerge. What causes inflation? Is it high wages paid to labor, excessive profits reaped by business, the Arab oil cartel or government spending? ‘‘Government is the sole source of inflation,” contends Southwick. The government has traditionally run up deficits but in the past decade these deficits have been growing. The budget deficit is simply the figure reached when income is subtracted from expenditures. To finance this deficit the Federal Reserve prints more money which it lends to the federal government. This government expansion of dollars in circulation causes marked reductions in the currency’s value. So to pay its bills, the government has to borrow from the Federal Reserve Board over and above what it takes from taxes. concerned about safeguarding citizens from the numerous environmental hazards associated with nuclear power. In other countries nuclear power plants need not be built to or operated at U.S. safety standards. An added benefit is that the electricity generated by “run away” reactors can be used to power the foreign profit-making operations of other multinational corporations. For example, much of the Bataan reactor’s output will go to the Bataan Export Processing Zone. According to the Center for Development Policy, 70% of the Zone’s products are exported and workers there receive $1.50 a day. Getting America on the right track Nuclear proliferation: is there a solution? In the words of Deputy Under Secretary of State Joseph Nye, “the question is whether you can gain control of this, or whether you are like a man on a bicycle riding full speed down a hill discovering he has no brakes.” It’s late in the game and no one knows if adequate brakes can be found. There are, however, some things is the Bataan Amory Lovins of the Friends of the Earth and many others have shown that we waste much of our energy. This waste, amounting to as much as half of the energy we consume, has led to grossly exaggerated projections of our future energy needs, resulting in claims by nuclear proponents that without nuclear power we’ll end up freezing in the dark. But if conservation is taken seriously, it can become, in effect, our major new •source of energy. By compl lementing itwith other non-nuclear sources of energy like that concerned individuals and groups can do. At the very least, accomplishments in these areas are unlikely to hurt. They may not stop proliferation, but they will, in my opinion, put the United States on the right track and stop us from making a bad situation even worse. First, we must arouse the American people to the awful dangers of nuclear power and proliferation to the point where our government is forced to publicly repudiate the myth of “atoms for peace.” However well intentioned, the “peaceful” atom is in the process of completely undermining global security. We cannot ask other countries to forego nuclear power if our own country has a large, active nuclear power program and is construction . tions like Westinghouse and GE ed interest in the nuclearization 'orld.

Suppose you hold $100 in a checking account for one year. If the annual inflation rate is nine percent, your $100 would be worth only $91 at the end of the year. Suppose you take out a $1000 student loan and there is a 10% annual inflation rate at the end of the year when you repay the $1000, you will have repaid only $900 in real terms. Traditionally, the government has tried to use labor, business, and industry as scapegoats for inflation. Recently, President Carter instituted voluntary wage and price controls in order to curb inflation. He has attempted to pass the brunt f the inflation to the public by limiting wage and price increases to 7 percent. Meanwhile, the inflation rate hovers around 9 percent which means the worker loses. Controls only attack the symptoms of inflation (higher wages and prices) rather than taking aim at the root cause. Moreover, many unions and corporations have not been keeping to the voluntary wage and price restraints. nuclear technology and materials. There must be a total moratorium on nuclear power. Secondly, we must encourage an energy policy based on conservation, efficient use, and safe, alternative (i.e. nonOnuclear) energy sources. market, r i for taxes. exporting nple of this “run away reactor” non Inflation is very much like a tax from which the government benefits directly. As inflation pushes wages higher and higher, workers are pushed into progressively higher and higher tax brackets. Thus, the federal government has increased revenues appreciably in 1978 without actually increasing ft#Wm mSi 411 growth of the money supply. The fiscal 1979 budget proposes expenditures of $531.6 billion and planned revenues of $502.6 billion, leaving a deficit of $29 billion. Narrowing this deficit may be the toughest task Carter will face. Every time Carter proposes reducing outlays for specific programs he encounters massive resistance from the groups affected. No one wants to give up their program. At the same time, there exists tremendous support for a tax cut. With elections approaching, politicians often enhance their popularity by supporting tax reductions. The government’s inability to decrease expenditures coupled with pressure to decrease taxes makes balancing the budget nearly impossible. Labor has been accused of demanding outrageous wage hikes in past years. However, workers’ wages have just barely kept up with inflation. Business has also been portrayed as a culprit of inflation. Oil companies like Exxon have reaped exorbitantly high profits since 1973. Although profits have been high in soijie industries, these profits, industry maintains, are composed of less valuable dollars. There are some encouraging signs that inflation is slowing. Carter has pledged to balance the federal budget by 1981. Living up to this pledge may be crucial in his bid for re-election. Economists see the recent slowdown in the growth rate of the money supply as an encouraging development. Only when our elected representatives institute the fiscal and monetary restraint necessary to gain ground against inflation will the rate of inflation turn around. in its many diverse forms, including photovoltaics and biomass conversion, the U.S. energy economy can become a model of public safety and solar power respect for life for the whole world to follow. Our exports and foreign aid programs could also reflect our commitment to alternative technologies. We can and must provide other countries with alternatives to rising oil prices and dangerous nuclear power. Thirdly, we must insist that our government practice what it preaches with regard to nuclear armament. As long as we define security in terms of nuclear weapons, we cannot expect to persuade other governments that security can be found in other wways. Economic conversion Our country is in a unique position because we have been the leaders of the arms race. No other country could be as effective a leader in reversing this race to oblivion and moving the world toward the goal President Carter outlined in his inaugural address, “Zero Nuclear Weapons.” SALT II deserves support but does not go nearly far enough. We must insist on independent U.S. initiatives, perhaps a moratorium on the testing and deployment of new nuclear weapons like the Trident submarine and the Cruise and MX missies. Finally, we must promote the economic conversion of nuclear industries. With proper planning, no one need be out of a job when the missile plants and reactors close. Scientists and other workers can put their expertise and skills to work solving pressing social problems and satisfying important social needs like those pertaining to energy production and use. f �o ednesdaywednesday feedback The opening door Imagine this To the Editor To the Editor. On February 2 you featured an article fairly summarized in its headline: “Faculty Senate defies Open Meeting Law; refuses to admit The Spectrum ”, While it is possible that the Open Mee'ting Law would be considered to apply to meetings of the Senate itself or its Executive Committee, I am inclined seriously to doubt it. It is far from clear that the Senate performs a “governmental function” or that it has the capacity to take “final action” within the context of that law. The case is quite different Just imagine yourself driving home to Utica during Christmas vacation. You’ve just finished your last exam, packed all your things and jumped into your car on your merry way to Utica.

Right Ed. you hit the nail right on the the head. To which Ed responds, “Life would be dull if everybody felt safe all the time.” What about the proposed tuition hike, O'Hara the facilities at UB, and S/U grading? Glad you asked Ed. Let me respond to the questions in degrading order. First, the proposed tuition hike, in my opinion will not be used to improve conditions at any of the Slate Universities. So, an increase in tuition at U.B. it inconceivable to me. How in the name of sanity could anyone dream of such a thing. I’ve had 300 and 400 level Civil Engineering courses with student/teacher ratios as high as 120/1 with one TA. I also took a Fluids course with 60 people in the lab and two TAs and limited apparatus.-The quality of education is definitely strained. And this proposed tuition hike will probably be used to fill some budget gap and will never materialize any improvements at U.B. Now to S/U grading. At this point in time no one can take a required course in their major under the S/U system. But, two years ago one could. I just happen to have a hypothetical friend who is an English major. He decided to take a Physics course (S/U). On the first test he studied and pulled an A. Unbelievable. On the second test he pulled another A. More unbelievable. So, now my friend approaches his instructor to ask if he could get a grade in the course instead of S/U. The teacher says sorry, but you already signed up for S/U. So, the semester wears on and the English major decides to devote all his time to English and lets the Physics course slide. Finals roll around and my friend pulls an F on the Physics exam. The instructor determines the grade to be a C and gives my friend an S (Satisfactory). We think the problem here with S/U grading is that the student has no incentive to perform. A student should be able to elect an S/U option at the beginning of the semester and then at final time be given a chance to change the S/U option to a grade option. Two days after finals my hypothetical friend is informed that someone has switched the rules again and students can change their S/U to a grade option. This doesn’t help my hypothetical friend, but it doesn’t bother him either. He’s true blue UB student and nothing should phase him. UB reminds me of a crazy baseball game. Imagine you’re Reggie Jackson at bat. You’re ready for the pitch and the umpire taps you on the shoulder and says “From now on Reggie, first base will be out in left field! nd you have to hit the ball with a wiffle bat!” Reggie is unbelievably perturbed and says, “A wiffle ball bat,you’re crazy Ump!” So, the ump says, “Play Ball!” And the only reason Reggie plays ball (with the new rules) is that he likes money. UB is this baseball game and every time UB gets a new umpire the students get new rules. We only wish the students were getting Reggie’s salary. Hey Ed, “Let’s go to the IRC (Inter-Residence Council) movie.” “We can’t. The IRC movie is shown in Diefendorf, not Farber anymore. We can’t get the wheelchair into Diefendorf.” “So, what are we going to do, Ed?” “Well, we can always modify our behavior patterns.” “Ed, you don’t mean . tonight’s the night.” “Ed, maybe I’d “That’s right better call IRC and see if they can do something about this.” “It’s your loss.” INFWIONWAR—MWNTUNE e, cont. To the Editor A short article appeared in the Wednesday, January 31 issue of The Spectrum entitled “CARASA For Birth Benefits,” which discussed the controversy oh campus bout the mandatory payment for abortion coverage in the U.B. student health insurance plan. A few points that that article made deserve corrections, clarifications' or explanations which I hope will be noted when future articles on this subject are written. First, the article incorrectly attributed to me the observation that the University of Buffalo Rights of Conscience (Group is “not necessarily pro-life, but pro-choice.” The group is not pro-choice. Nor is it pro-life. It does not take a position on the issue of abortion. Our concern, on this issue an others, is the defense of the rights of conscience. Second, the article stated that the abortion coverage “has been rigorously opposed by the recently formed UB Rights of Conscience Group” These statements are somewhat misleading. What our group is insisting oh is that there be no mandatory payment for abortion coverage as part of each student’s premium fox the policy. We have opposed the decision that Sub Board 1, Inc. made last summer to include the abortion coverage because the mandatory payment for it forces students who have — moral, religious, and philosophical objections to abortion to sacrifice these in order to participate in the plan. (And many have no choice but to participate because they cannot afford outside ; - plans.) Edward J. Newton Eranees Kmieeik - Now we are working to insure that if there is coverage for abortions in next year’s plan, the payment for it be optional, so that the rights of conscience are protected. It is quite possible to arrange such an option. We also believe that those who made the payment despite their objections this year should be permitted to receive a refund for that amount. We cannot accept any compulsory payment. Third, the article made much of CARASA’s nd Against (Coalition for Abortion Rights Sterilization Abuse) contention that the plan include expanded maternity coverage and pre-natal care. What it failed to mention is that the U.B. Rights of Conscience Group spoke up for these and for coverage for women’s routine medical tests, such as pap tests, (which are not presently ncluded) as early as the November 16 Sub Board meeting. CARASA and its supporters, which claim to be concerned that women’s needs be met by the health insurance, said nothing about these at that time. Finally, I must point out that, contrary to the impression given in the article, our group’s petition drive against the mandatory payment is continuing. We 1,700 student now have approximately signatures and the number increases each day, showing that many U.B. students are concerned about this issue of conscience. Those who oppose us have and will probably continue to raise irrelevant technical objections to our petitions and to doubt the significance of our total number of signatures in an attempt to discredit the success of our efforts. They argue about such things because their own position is an indefensible one. It is that because of their zeal on the abortion issue they are denying to their fellow students one of their most fundamental human rights: the right of conscience. — — Stephen Krason President, University of Buffalo Rights of Conscience Group �I *n I Chip computers created in Asia with cheap labor Jan. 29th till Feb. 7th Editor's Note: This is the second research in companies tend to be clustered in California’s Santa Clara valley near San Francisco; hence the nickname “Silicon Gulch.” The design initial and a six-part series examing the and most compelling latest development in computer the chip. technology ~ by Jon Stewart and John Markoff Pacific News Service The tiny, microprocessor, silicon-based has girdle the globe instantaneous which enabled man to with vast, information networks, is itself the product of what may be the world’s irst “global factories.” The manufacture of these is compute rs-on-a-chip accomplished by highly paid, highly educated scientists in America and by assembly line workers throughout Asia who earn as little as ten cents an hour.

She has crossed the finish line first in every cross-country race she has entered, including the Erie County Winter Carnival at Chestnut Ridge Park and the Annual American Lung Association Race held last Sunday at Colden despite a bonafide blizzard that was blowing across Langlauf Trails the race course. Zolczer finished that five kilometer (three mile) course in 22 minutes, winning a new pair of skis for the second year in a row. But enough said about someone who is impossible to keep up with, time to move on to information valuable to the average curiousity seeker on skis. In the past two winters an unprecented number of people filed away their TV controls, to d.on cross-coutnry skis. As a result, cross-country ski facilities in Western New York have been expanding to accommodate them. Ongoing construction n various Western New York parks during the off season resulted in over SO kilometers (33) miles of new ski trails. While the cheapest and most convenient place to ski may still be your backyard, the Amerst Campus or a nearby golf course, trails that are maintained and grommed at cross-country parks and resorts can be a welcome and challenging treat to those who have been breaking virgin snow 11 winter long. •» This March 200,000 Baby Harp Seals will be slaughtered - We all know this Is atrocious, but do you think we can do anything about It?

N.y: H2M Skiing plus entertainment The Alpine Recreation Area in West Falls, has become the most popular nordic ski resort in the area, primarily because of its convenient location on route 240, roughly 30 minutes from the Main Street Campus. Three years ago, Alpine was the only cross-country ski resort in the area that offered rentals, instruction and a rustic lodge (Project of CAC) entertains on weekend afternoons and evenings. Colden Langlauf Trails at Center Road in Colden features trails ihat are definitely a challenge and not advisable for the weak-hearted or first time skier. Ten kilometers of trails wind up, down and round in the woods where trees have been known to jump right out and hit innocent skiers. The Colden Lakes Inn is located within a skis reach and provides a quick warmth with a hot toddy for the weary skier.

Letchworth State,Park off Route 408 provides a breathtaking view of the gorge in its icy setting. The following downhill resorts have also gotten in on the nordic act and now provide cross country trails along with their downhill runs. Cockaigne Ski area, in Cherry Greek on Route 60.

Such a game was played Saturday night between UB and Every game which State, in goalkeeper Tim Mouser of the Knights put on a dazzling display of agility and coordination to frustrate the Bulls into a 5 - 2 Geneseo defeat. His marvelous offset performance Buffalo’s 37—19 edge in shots on goal, and contributed to end the Bulls’ four game winning streak. UB’s record is now 11—8, 7—6 in ECAC Division II competition. “Their goalie definitely was the key factor in the game,” acknowledged bill Kaminska, UB’s netminder. “He kept them in the game. He made big saves and then they got the breaks. We counldn’t get ny breaks.” Almost every member of the Bulls had similar words of praise for Mouser’s outstanding night. “That goalie had one hell of a game,” praised UB’s Brien Grow, who actually scored once, his fourth goal in two games. “We were buzzing all around, we were all over him and he came up big.” goaltender played an game,” echoed UB “Their excellent captain Ed Patterson. “It was a very frustrating night for us. We took a lot of shots, but he came qp very big on everything.” Frustrating Not everyone gave Mouser full credit for the victory, though. Some Bulls’ players found fault with their own performance, and even their misfortune. “He [Mouser) had a good game, but it seems he had the breaks,” pointed out Paul Narduzzo. “Although 1 guess that’s what constitutes a good game. Still, we didn’t have what you’d call real good quality shots.” John Gallagher agreed with him. “We just didn’t have it tonight for some reason,” stated the freshman left wing. “The puck didn’t go in for us and we got frustrated. 1 don’t know if it was really him that was stopping us, or if we were just missing.” UB Coach Ed W Right the appraised by contest commenting, “They beat us with our own game. They dumped the puck in and forechecked us, and that’s supposed to be our style,” The somber Wright added, “They were a hungry group of individuals. They outfought us and outgutted us, and you’ve got to give them credit. “In the first two periods . . . just weren’t getting we ny shots,” the coach added. “They were forechecking and skating well, considerably better than they did at their last place [last week, when the Bulls triumphed, 5—3], If they continue to play that way, they’re going to beat a lot of people. But the fact that they dumped the puck in, nd played two periods in our end of the ice wore our defense down. They were making us carry the puck in, and revert to the ways of individualism, and that’s not the way this game’s played. You’ve got get to from effort everybody,” Wright noted. -Lines Buffalo goaltandar Bill Kaminska (29 in white) springs into position, awaiting tha arrival of the puck from the stick of a Geneseo forward. Kamjnska stopped 15 PREPARING: The Blue Knights certainly outhustled Buffalo in the first two periods, if not all three. In the opening 20 minutes, Ceneseo took advantage of the only penalty cross-check violation called; pinned on UB’s Tom Wilde. Jerry Shorthouse capitalized, poking home a rebound at 10:26. Buffalo, though outplayed, stayed with the Knights and eventually tied it at 1 1 when Grow put the puck by Mouser at 15:47. “It was just a ‘through’ play,” revealed Grow. “I gave the puck to Eddie [Patterson], and let him cross the blue line as 1 rushed to the net. Then he cut through the middle, and gave it right back to me.” Grow scored under Mouser as the goaltender was diving to his unfortunate and untimely bounce, as UB’s Pete Dombrowski saw it. “Johnny Sucese dropped a pass the puck by Mouser once in 29 tries over the last 40 minutes of for me,” recounted the freshman defenseman. “But it must’ve hit him. or another player, and dropped right in front. Billy [Kaminska] cleared it out, but it went right to somebody, and he [Ron Weathers] just shot it in off my glove.” The Knights nailed the Bulls’ early in the third period, scoring twice within the first five minutes. Mark Stancampiano got off a slow shot that fooled Kaminska, slipping it in over his left leg at 2:26. Then, Shorthouse capitalized on a long bounce off the sideboards to give his team a Hyde Keith — right. shots, but his opponant in the opposing goal had a much more productive evening, tending away 35 of 37 Buffalo shots to aid tha White Knights in a 5-2 triumph.

Skiers fly, pounding the icy slopes in quest of splitting hundreths of seconds off their previous efforts. While the of grandeur international competition may not have been the picture painted at Allegheny Park last weekend, the first Invitational ski meet sponsored jointly by UB and Alfred University had its share of frigid excitement. Powerhouses such as Cornell, Syracuse, and MIT came from all across the northeast to show what they have to offer this season. Needless to say, coach Ed Stevens’ ski fleet didn’t fare well with other schools. “UB’s ski team isn’t varsity, so we can’t compete against most of these schools who can pay for their athletes” noted Steve Rangrose, a UB cross country racer. But the skiing Bulls gained a lot of experience and saw a few very talented fellow skiers as they went through the two day, four competition circuit. The first day introduced the slalom and giant of 54 entrants in the race.

Paiker acting out of concern for the health of Vrtis Editor Baird’s occupants and-not for “asthetic reasons. Hunt noted that there several rooms in the Baird basement that do not require sealing. Hunt told The Spectrum last week that the condition of Baird Hall has not \yorse ned its significantly since construction. However, NYP1RG officials claim that decomposing asbestos is flaking off and particles may be lingering in the University Director of Environmental and Safety Robert Hunt is experimenting with a plastic sealer to prevent asbestos in the Baird Hail basement ceiling from Baking into the air. Hunt, who insists that the asbestos fibers in the Music Department's Baird Hall home are not a health' hazard, said that damaged portions of the ceiling should be replaced. Hunt explained that he is experimenting with Rotanium, a clear to repair the “bad spots plastic sealer where people have picked at the ceiling.” However, officials of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) the student organization that charged 'that the tiny cancer- causing asbestos fibers were endangering the building’s occupants claim that a sealant may be ineffective. NYPIRG official Bob Franki. after speaking with a chemist under contract with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), noted that the use of a sealant in Baird Hall might not servp its purpose because of the thickness of the ceiling. three EPA-approved methods of “incapsulalion." He will also study the ease with which the Barid Hall asbestos ceiling can be removed,” Franki said. Health reasons Franki said, “Any insulation over three-quarters of an inch thick may result in added peeling, rather than effective sealing, due to the added weight of the deteriorating adhesive.’* Franki stated that the chemist is willing to come to Buffalo to Music professor Robert Hatten, who coordinated the—petition drive, said, “Everyone using the practice rooms is disturbed and we want to pursue the matter.” The cramped, closet-like practice rooms are used for rehearsal by Health air. - — - try NYP1RG Chairperson Jay Halfon claimed that NYPIRG approves of Hunt’s efforts to eradicate the asbestos problem but wants to ensure that the Director is Music students, faculty petition Over 50 Music Department students and faculty have signed a petition urging the University to conduct air samples in Baird Hall. for air sampling Music students sometimes for 20 hours per week. About 500 students use the building’s rehearsal rooms, breathing the dangerous fibers for an average of three hours at a time. Hatten told The Spectrum “The University has an obligation to let students know what risks they’ve already been exposed to.” He said it The petitioners are concerned about the level of asbestos fibers lingering in Baird’s basement air. Asbestos has been linked to lung cancer and cancers of the throat, stomach, colon and rectum. should not be one person’s decision Director of Environmental Health and Safety Robert Hunt’s to opt not to conduct an air study. Hatten noted, ‘The risks have not been determined. An air sample should be - namely - taken.” Replace asbestos Hunt said he is also investigating the possibility of replacing the ceiling with new materials. The materials, which need to be acoustically absorbant, re being sought locally. If the new materials can be located, tested, and installed, the ceiling will be replaced, Hunt said. He estimated the replacement could cost as much as $9,000. However, Hunt noted, if the materials are not found to be effective, then “we will continue with the sealer until we can come up with something better.” Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal told The Spectrum last week that if sealed, the asbestos should be safe for at least three years. By then, the Music Department should be relocated in the soon-to-be constructed Music and Chamber Hall on the Amherst Campus. But, Neal said, “It’s difficult to get money to fix the —continued on page 18 — Springer to take hold in fall despite anticipated chaos by Mark Meltzer Campus Cditor University President Robert L. Ketter decided Thursday to move ahead with a fall implementation of the controversial Springer report, which recommends a return to the one credit for one classroom hour system. Ketter took the advice of his Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn in making the decision, despite strong warnings from other advisors that fall implementation might lead to University-wide chaos. Dean of Undergraduate Education (DUE) John Peradotto and Assistant Dean Walter Kunz, the two men charged with easing the turmoil implementation could cailse had earlier recommended a one year delay in implementation. “For Academic Affairs as a whole,” Bunn asserted in a January 31 memo to Ketter, “I believe that delay- in implementation would have negative 'effects on the planning undertaken within Schools, Faculties and DUE pointing toward fall 1979'that, in my judgement, outweigh the possible benefits pf delay.” Absurd As a result, two committees of students and faculty are faced with an eight-week deadline to identify and solve - certain key problems before students pre-register for fall courses. Student Association (SA) President Karl Schwartz thinks the time constraint will prove limiting. “It’s absurd to think we can do a credible job in that amount of time,” Schwartz remarked. • _ While student representatives and administrators labor, Schwartz- indicated that SA might sue to delay implementation. Already, Schwartz said, half a dozen students have called with questions on the impact of the Springer report. According to DUE’s Kunz, there’s no way to tell just how implementation will affect course demand, leaving his Steering Committee helpless to solve many registration hassles until pre-registration is completed. A Course Demand Analysis will then be used to determine whether class size should increase, Kunz said. Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs Claude Welch noted that certain underenrolled courses might absorb the anticipated swelling in course demand provided students are made more aware of such courses. - Volunteer basis Responsibility for informing students of those courses will fall to Academic Advisement, Kunz said, but SA Director of Student Affairs Scott Jiusto indicated that faculty will be asked to'join that effort. A faculty member Student rep to urge Carver’s reprimand at College Council meet in each department will be trained as an advisor, to provide counseling on a volunteer basis, Jiusto said. A bulletin will also be available to keep students up to date, Kunz noted. A major concern of the Curriculum Committee, a DUE subcommittee chaired by Peradotto, is consideration of so-called “Grandfather Clauses” members are debating whether to apply those clauses universally, or to memebers are debating whether to apply those clauses universally, or to The Grandfather Clauses will allow some students to take the same number of The Grandfather clauses will allow some students to take the same number of themselves with heavier course loads. Who will and who won’t be forced into themsleves with heavier course loads. Who will and who &on’t be forced into Bussing will be another prime concern of Kunz’s Steering Committed. Busing will be another prime conern of Kunz’s Steering Committee. Critics of a fall implementation of the Springer report have warned that an increased demand for coursed”could lead to a tremendous overcrowding of the University’s already overburdened bus system. Jiusto said that a careful analysis of departmental requirements could lighten the bus load. Courses required for a certain line of study could be scheduled on the same campus, Jiusto explained, alleviating some inter-campus travel. College Council Student Representative Michael Pierce said Friday that he will urge the Council to pass a resolution of sanction against Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Carver for his barring of The Spectrum from the Senate’s Executive Committee meeting Wednesday. The resolution according to Pierce, is in effect a public condemnation of Carver’s actions. Pierce will make the motion at the Council’s February 23 meeting. Tire 1977 New York, State Open Meetings Law stipulates that no one can be barred from the meeting of a “public body” unless that body calls an “executive session” Carver held that the Senate “is Inside: Work Study shaft— P. 4 / not a public body” and refused to allow a. reporter to attend the meeting. Pierce, riled by what he called Carver’s “undemocratic conduct,” contacted the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for definition of a “public body”. An ACLU representative explained that as a “quasi government”, the Senate is considered a public institution. The Open Meetings Law defines a public body as, “any entity of two or more members for which a quorum is needed and which performs a governmental (unction for the state or an agency or department of it.” Waterfront—Centerfold Yale / sex trial ends—P.

But eliminating it would be admitting to a povety of proposing and acting on changes in the current system. What we’ve been recommending most recently is a split format in which after two years of theoretical education, a student would take a hiatus before in imagination. Waste of time Editor-in-Chief of the Buffalo Law Review, Gregory Yawman, a third year law student here, necessity stressed the of continued implementation of the three-year program. “Even with three years to complete their sutdies, most people can’t find enough time to fit the courses they really want into their schedule. My third year has definitely not been a waste of time,” he said. Instead of the complete elimination of the current three-year program, Headrick emphasized his call for a fundamental revision in the educational systems of American Law Schools. “The UB Law School has been one of the leaders a UB Law Dean Thomas Headrick Recommends split format the school to pursue in some specialized area,” he said. returning advanced to training Direct supervision Headrick feels that the would Stanley-Manning plan eventually prove disastrous to most law students.

"My interpretation of arbitrary is “501116006 deciding A myriad of grading systems exists behind the solidarity of the Stale University of New York (SUNY) system, The Spectrum has learned. “The grading system is the domain of each individual campus." commented SUNY Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Ronald Bristow. As a result. SUNY students deal with standards that vary from Albany’s conservative 10 days after the semester pass/fail deadline begins to Potsdam’s liberal one 10 days before the semester ends. SUNY Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Jim Purdue thinks a unified grading system would be appealing statewide. “It would deny faculty the right to evaluate students under their direction.” Purdue told The Spectrum. Purdue denied that SUNY grading is arbitrary compared to standardized grading, such as that employed in Incongruous grading policies pervasive within SUNY system f city-wide exams in New York City. “I'd say that /. for all." Purdue did admit that the difference in grading systems can be difficult at times. “To the extent that students transfer between colleges, we’ve got a problem,” Purdue said. But if a student spends four years at one institution, system is “fine,” he added. The SUNY policies The following is a review of grading policies at several SUNY institutions: Albany No plus-minus grading; pass/fail: 10 day deadline after the semester begins; 10 day period to add courses; eight week deadline to drop courses without penalty; incompletes must be resolved by one month before the end of the next semester. — continued on page 12 How straight are the A’s? A hard look at grading Part II Editors note: The following is the second in a three-part series on the system of grading. This segment deals with UB professors’ perceptions. more definitive gauge. The traditional A, B, C system he said, is the best choice short of written evalutions. While evaluations permit mention of a student’s varied avilities, Wallace cautioned that a professor must be interested in a student in order to prevent the evaluation front degenerating into a routine action, rendering it meaningless. Yet even the traditional letter system is burdened with questions of validity. The once prized A’s and B’s lose their value in the face of grade inflation. According to Chemistry Professor Peter Lansbury, “Grade inflation destroys the credibility of the school, the professor and the student.” He observed that the problem is more acute in the Liberal Arts than in the Sciences. Smith called departments such as Chemistry “right Wing” or Sociology as an example of a “left wing” unit. He explained that these Sociology as an example of a “left wing” unit. He explained'that these were “meaningful in the same sense as Gresham’s Law bad money drives out good money.” Smith added, “Faculty members who give all A's get more students. Those who give fewer A’s get fewer students.” Smith noted that eventually, by Elena Cacavas and Kathleen McDonough UB professors examine problems of arbitrariness, high competition, over-inflation in grading 1tf effort has always been made by men to quantify men. Steven Wallace Due Advisor The pond of academic tranquility has been disturbed by doubts concerning one of its most vital aspects grading. Charges of arbitrariness, excessive competition and grade inflation have sent ripples of — apprehension through most Universities, including UB, promoting an examination of grading systems. Dean of Undergraduate Education (DUE) John Peradotto voiced deep dissatisfaction with UB grading procedures, saying, “1 have heard the U.S. Navy described as a system designed by genuises for execution by idiots. Our present grading system seems like a dark perversion of that: designed, it would appear by idiots for manipulation by practically anybody.” The opportunity for manipulalion is provided, he fears, in grade options such as pass/fail (S/U), unofficial resignation and incompletes (1) Peradotto poin! d out that the original purpose of incompletes to allow unable to complete the course work in a has been subverted, unable to complet semester the course work in a semester has been subverted. Peradotto recalled complaints he received which — departments are hurt by low enrollments. Of major significance to any consideration of grading costs and benefits is the effect that such a system has on student incentive to achieve. Some educators believe that grading induces too much competition among students. - Options of pass/fail, erasable incomplete and resignation viewed as easy 'outs' 1for lax students * \ ' - indicated that instructors had “issued Ts unilaterally” and that students used the option because they fell behind in course work. • Formalizing irresponsibility More serious charges made by the Dean involved course' auditing. He less logical sense, to assign a deadline date for resignation from a course less logical sens, to assign a deadline date for resignation from a course without academic penalty, and then, to permit and encourage its circumvention by offering a grade of N (no credit),,. Peradotto maintained that such practices permit a student to avoid earned, but undesireable grades. “Such a practice,” he concluded, “formally educates students in cynicism, illogic, and irresponsibility.” ,Peradotto cited the S/U option as another grading problem area. He believes it has largely become “an escape hatch”, which also permits students to avoid low grades. But DUE Academic Advisor Stephen Wallance said only a small percentage of students actually abuse the S/U option,. It removes the onus of competition, he explained, permitting students to take a course for aesthetic reasons without the worry of grades. Wallace did not advocate all courses on a pass/fail basis, but rather stressed the necessity of a Fosters competition Law School Dean Thomas Headricks described two methods employed by other universities to alleviate impetus for competition. Experimental schools such as Hampshire College, he said, once operated on a program of internal evaluation publishing results within the school, yet indicating to professional schools and employers only pass/fail overall evaluations. Some educators believe that this induces competition soley system for self-satisfaction. “The other alternative,” Headricks said, “is to hide from students any evaluation of work, but make it available to outsiders.” While this reduces competition, it produces a great amount of internal insecurity Headricks cautioned. Competition according to Associate Vice President for Health Sciences Donald Larson, is rewarded by our system of grading. Some courses, he said, should be clearly labeled as competitive in course descriptions, while others should be judged on the degree of cooperation between students. This would not restrict the competition required in some pre-professional courses, he said but would permit students to take a course without competing for — - - grades.

DUE, Fac-Sen still debating The Faculty Senate and the Division of Undergraduate Education are now tossing back and forth the question of distribution credit for courses listed in the Colleges. Both sides are claiming that the other has jurisdiction ui deciding if College courses that are not cross-listed with other academic departments can be counted when students fulfill their distribution Meanwhile, requirements. the Colleges wait anxiously for a decision that may bring them increased enrollments and money while the new General Education plan threatens to revamp the old distribution system entirely. DUE Dean John Pcradotto says that the Faculty Senate should decide the College distribution fate since it was the Senate that originally designed the distribution requirements for the entire university. - legitimate The Faculty Senate, meanwhile, claims that the administration has always decided how to apply and implement policy and that the Colleges question is no exception. Furthermore, the Senate has advised, the •emerging General Education plan is likely to probably increase distribution revamp requirements, making this a poor time to act on the Colleges question. Entering the fray as both acting Dean of the Colleges and Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs. Claude Welch has maintained that the Colleges are being subjected to tougher standards and aspiring to deeper academic legitimacy than when the “no-distribution” policy was formed. Welch has also noted that the new General Education plan will lake several years before it affects all undergraduates, making the distribution credit a timely, rather than moot one. More GLISTENING GEMS: Winter's own kool-pops, although flavorless, add a dazzle to therwise dingy campus buildings such as Abbott Annex (above). This scene of stalactite splendor was captured by The Spectrum's Photo Editor. Dennis R. Floss. General Education would appear to favor the College’s quest for distribution credit. Most General Education plans at universities across the country stress inter-disciplinary study, an opportunity the Colleges have always claimed to have offered. But the distribution question is much more than a measure of status or academic legitimacy. It is likely that distribution credit for College requirements. That would-mean higher enrollments and a stronger argument requirements. That would mean higher enrollments and a stronger arguemcnt for increased funding.

Mastrantonio’s announces price-fixed early evening dining by Bonnie Gould Spectrum Staff Writer In spile of a new policy resulting in a 50 percent the number of professors submitting late grades, nearly 2,870 students received delayed or incomplete grade reports for Fall 1978 semester. An examination of the delinquent staff showed that the Department of Psychology, the School of Pharmacy and the Colleges were responsible for almost 70 percent of the late grades. University regulations instruct faculty to submit all grades to the Office of Admissions and Records (A "R) within 72 hours after the final examinations, A list compiled by A R showed that professors of 128 courses submitted tardy grades after January 5, approximately two weeks after the exams. This represented a decline of only 10 percent in the overall number of late grades but represented a 50 percent improvement in the number of faculty submitting late grades. . Late grades spurred an investigation last year by the Faculty Senate Committee stemming from a strongly worded letter from then'Classics professor and now Dean of Undergraduate Education John Peradotto. The investigation, headed by Psychology Professor Edward Hovorka, revealed that a total of 3,109 students enrolled in 229 classes were inconvenienced {)y late grades in the Fall 1977 drop in + + semester. Dramatic improvement In his report, Hovorka recommended Peradotto saw a dramatic year. “I’m never satisfied from last ith any late grades,” Peradotto said, “and won’t be satisfied until you can count the number on two hands.

Fogel said in addition to the list, a memo wa§ sent from his office urging Deans to follow up on this matter with instructors. Despite the improvement, there were some major problem areas. The Psychology Department, according to the list, was responsible for 663 late grades in nine classes, accounting for over 30 percent of all late undergraduate grades and affecting close to 500 freshmen. Ira Cohen, who became the Department Chairman in November, was not aware of the late grades and is currently investigating the tardiness One instructor alone was responsible for 486 late grades. Pharmacy, with 542 late grades, was responsible for over 26 percent of the undergraduate total. Department Chairman Robert Cooper cited sickness, a grade drop off point on the Amherst Campus and vacations as- causes of the delay. “Because pharmacy is a full-year program, only one student out of'542 was affected by the late grade submission,” Cooper The problem of late grades was widespread in the Colleges, affecting a total of 280 students in 26 classes. Acting Dean of the Colleges Claude Wekh said “the majority of instructors in the Colleges are off-campus faculty who may not have been well versed in campus policies. Also, many of the courses involved were independent studies, affecting few students.” Welch said he is confident the delay will be resolved. : f �daymondaymon editorial <o i left turn on Main St. Hunt for health A It is time for Director of Environmental Health and Safety Robert Hunt to take strong action on the danger of asbestos fibers in Baird Hall. It is quite clear now that Hunt was merely guessing when he determined that no health hazard exists in Baird's basement, where ceiling tiles containing asbestos have been releasing the tiny cancer-causing fibers into the atmosphere. Needed immediately are an air-monitoring mechanism to gauge the actual level of asbestos in the air and a long-term solution to the ceiling problem. The flaking of asbestos must end one way or another, even if it means closing the practice rooms temporarily. The sealer Hunt proposed seems reasonable, if it can be proven to work. The New York Public Interest Research Group has been instrumental in exposing the asbestos danger in Baird; but it is obviously Hunt's responsibility to insure the health of the University's students and staff. Appropriately, Hunt should undertake a review of all buildings where asbestos has been used as an insulator, with an eye on possible health dangers both present and future. Those buildings where asbestos is found should be named publicly, and occupants should be alerted to the range of possible hazards. Asbestos was not banned as a building material for nothing. Hunt's negligence in monitoring the Baird Hall atmosphere shows an alarming disregard for human health and ought to tip off the central administration to the need or a closer watch on his actions. There are limits ofreason on how far any institution can go in protecting the health of its employees and clients. Thus, we do not ban automobiles to eliminate ccidents. At the opposite end, there are minimum precautions that everyone expects no smoking in chemistry labs, for instance. Hunt's actions have barely met the minimum, while the pressures being put on him fall well within a reasonable limit. Given this, there are few acceptable excuses. To the Editor — — The Colleges question Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn should step in nd settle at least temporarily the question of distribution credit for courses in the Colleges. Unhappily, Undergraduate Dean John Peradotto and the Faculty Senate cannot decide who should decide the issue. While the emerging General Education plan will one day change everything, Bunn's Associate Dean, Claude Welch makes a good point in observing that the current distribution system will remain intact for all undergraduates now enrolled. Thus, the question is a timely one. Since distribution credit will make the Colleges' courses more attractive, it is clearly unfair to leave hanging an issue that would give the Colleges greater bargaining power in the competition for resources. The academic legitimacy of the Colleges is still a debatable question, but only as a matter of degree and only for a distinct minority of courses. That debate which may never end should not freeze action on the distribution question. — — — — The Spectrum 56 Vol. 29, No. Monday, 5 February 1979 Editor-in-Chief Jay Rosen Treasurer Managing Editor vacant Denise Stumpo Rebecca Bernstein tyws .Larry Motyka Elena Cacavas Kathleen McDonough Photo . .

John Mar Private and public pain To the Editor This letter is in response to Friday’s article by Harvey Shapiro concerning the dental schools in New York State, In reading the article I have to agree that the U.B. Dental School is being shafted It cites the facts that both Columbia, N Y, U. and Stony Brook dental shcool have, or will receive, aid fro the state. I do not believe it’s right, when asking the state for more money for an individual school, to do it at the expense of the other institutions involved. As a freshman student next year at Columbia University’s School of Dental and Oral Surgery, my expected costs for four years are about $54,000 as compared to a UB dental student's expected cost for four years of about $24,000. The schools are still being supported by about private twice the student support a state school receives. Please keep on fighting for the U.B.

First notice the surroundings: the sleek, modern desks in the foreground, the staffers scurrying behind it as the opening Credits roll, the stacatto of teletype machines beneath the official-sounding voice of the off camera announcer, the neatly stacked notes that the anchorman is reading one final time. Notice that it is most obviously an atmosphere of order, efficiency and confidence; and more subliminally an atmosphere of drama, anticipation and mounting tension. The voice you hear and the image you see are pulling you toward a moment; a moment that places you there at the precise instant and in the exact location where news becomes News.

He looks like your favorite teacher, boss or father at 59 years of age. He fs an authority, an expert, but warmly familiar because you have watched him age, and aged with him. You have seen the slow silvering of his hair, the gradual lessening of his facial lines. You have seen him night after night dressed the same way, looking always like the expert. He has never been sick, never arrived" late, never left early, never faltered or forgot his lines. He never repeats himself, he is never at a loss for words.

It soothes you in its tone and rivets you in its slight, almost imperceptible tension.

You are there to receive and you take the role of the receptor. You are motionless, almost transfixed, resting somewhere between your own everyday environment and the tension of the newsroom an in-between consciousness where the anchorman s voice is the only sound and the image before you the only sight.

Underlying these issues is the recognition and implimentation of a totalitarian fu net ic rn on behalf of the University Office of Housir ng as supervi; sed and defended by the studennt-run court, thee IKJ As paranoid as this may sou nd the precedent that the Housing r. Marschall ablished is for the Office of ble of using the 1RJ against its for the sole purpose of terrorism. 1 Book I Student Ru les and Regulations provision prosecution for refusing the reaso 'liable request" of a University Official, Specif ically. and uni ike any other statute found that si Univer; sity Official as . . the individual instructing a class a Residen t Advisor or Head Resident in the Re: sidence Halls I was simultaneously shocked, horrified, and hysterical with laughter when, first approached by Mr. Marschall. Shocked that University Housing would try such an insane “test” case. Horrified at the precedents such a “test” case could create; and hysterical with laughter because Housing actually believes that what it is doing is morally and legally right. 1 am no longer laughing! If, indeed, this is a “test” case, as The Spectrum the Housing position, what is it actually Does this case really test the “reasonable request” provision as Housing claims? Or, does it test reports testing? something not publicly acknowledged by Housing? While the Marschall case may satisfy the minimal requirements of a test case, as Housing is seeking a precedent on the matter, this case does not test the “reasonable request” statute. The failure to communicate information does not, as the facts of the Marschall case demonstrate, imply or prove the refusing of a University Official’s reasonable request. Unfortunately, in our present legal structure, the facts of a dispute can only he ascertained subsequent to a lawfully conducted hearing. As previously mentioned, this case is more so a test of the ability of the University Offfice of Housing to terrorize students. Though the term terrorism may appear drastic, what else can you call it? Despite the fact that the IRJ gave no official ruling on the MarsihaU case, it established a precedent which enables Housing to prosecute in R.A.’s “reasonable request.” Thus, any student who does not obey a “reasonable request” is faced with prosecution. To avoid prosecution is simple, comply. In essence, students will comply with an R.A.’s "reasonable out of fear. Fear of request” prosecution. Terrorism can be defined as the ability of A to get B to do X (or not to do X) out of fear that should B not comply with A’s request B will suffer. Is this not the precedent we see developing from the itlarschall case? Is not Housing now terrorizing students by forcing them to comply with the “reasonable request”, of an R.A.? Does this also imply that each and every request of an R.A. made of a student must be judged by that student for its reasonableness? What defines reasonable? The insanity here is self-evident! Another issue that stems from the Marschall case deals with the concept of “conflict of interest.” Admittedly, Chief Justice of the 1RJ, Neal Gitin, is an R. A., a Housing Official. Equally admitted is the fact that Chief Justice Gitin has, on occasion, used this duality to proport the- official position of Housing, when clarification of an official position is needed at an IRJ hearing, during the hearing. What this all means is that the Chief Justice of the IRJ has delivered a partisan position in the course of a non-partisan job. Aside from the obvious violation of the U.S. Constitutional rights which safeguard due process of the law vis-a-vis an impartial hearing, Mr. Gitin’s duality of positions, in respect to his role of Chief Justice of the IRJ, inherently invokes the definition of “conflict of interest." Mr. Gitin cannot ethically or legally fib into the unbiased robes of justice in a case which involves University Housing. Only one of two solutions exists. Hither Mr. Gitin, in order to retain his Chief Justiceship, must excuse himself from all IRJ cases which involve University Housing (which accounts for a large percentage of IRJ's cases), or he must resign from one or the other of the two positions he currently holds. Unfortunately, this decision is solely up to Mr. Gitin. Students cannot fire an IRJ Justice as his appointment is justifiably insulated, nor would Housing fire its “friend in the court.” At this time, however, I wish to inform all studerlts who have been affected adversely at an IRJ proceeding, specifically because of this alleged “conflict of interest” issue, that the right to an appeal for retrial is guaranteed. Something has to be done! ' Philip Dinhofer Rules are rules To the Editor Staff, especially the Head and Resident Advisors, face many, extremely difficult situations as they ttempt tp assist in the establishment of an environment in the Residence Halls where there is a spirit of cooperation among students and which is consistent with the goals of the University. In striving to accomplish this task, they are often called upon to use their judgement and interpersonal skills to deal with problems that occur. Because it is not possible to establish rules that will adequately deal with every possible situation at the University, the so-called “reasonable request” rule was devised. Specifically, this rule states: “A person is guilty of failure to comply when he or she, knowing or having reason to know that a person is a University official, fails to comply with a reasonable request of such University official in the performance of his/her duty. For the purppse of this The Residents Housing section the individual instructing a class shall be considered a University Official, s shall any Resident Advisor or Head Resident in the Residence Halls.” The Staff Person needs to have the necessary flexibility and authority which this rule provides. As an example, students in the halls are encouraged to deal with others who may be disruptive or annoying, but it frequently is necessary for a Resident Advisor to intervene on behalf of the resident and/or the floor. Clearly, there are statutory parallels that exist in many other segmemts of our society. We are firmly committed to the concept of peer judgement and due process in regard to disciplinary situations that occur. For this reason, whenever these cases possible, are referred to the Inter-Residence Judiciary. It is their responsibility to judge guilt or innocence, imponse sanctions and, in regard to this particular rule, to judge the “reasonableness of the request.” It is important to understand that in virtually all instances, the charges are filed by the Area Coordinator, in concurrence with the Head Resident. The Resident Advisor would not make this decision unilaterally on behalf of Housing. However subjective this procedure may be, it is a necessary means whereby the Housing Staff can as they discharge support receive their responsibilities. We feel that there are sufficient safeguards to protect students from any possible abuses of arbitrary or capricious action. In addition, the R.A. selection process and the training which they receive have enabled us to employ a staff which deserves to be regarded as responsible and competent. At a time when there is much concern about the University environment, we hope that students and the administration will see fit to support one of the most constructive and positive elements of that environment: The Housing Staff. of water falling eight floors would have injured Our complaint with The Spectrum and in with Mi. Rasch, is in the failure to mention the reasons why the mandatory meeting was called. What matters even more to us, is that Mr. Rasch’s article makes a member of our staff appear as someone who arbitrarily calls mandatory meetings for no adequate reason.

Soehner Assistant Director The mandatory meeting To the Editor This letter is in response to the article written by Jens Rasch, “Student brought before IRJ for not attending floor meeting.” Mr. Rasch’s article did not accurately and fairly present both sides of the case. Not one mention was made of the precipitating factors that caused Ms.Ciliberti to call a mandatory floor meeting. One night someone had been seen, from a distance, to be dropping garbage hags full of water from Richard Marshcall’s floor. (Mr. Marshall is the student who was brought before IRJ for not attending the meeting.) Some of these water bags entered the open windows of rooms on the floor below; other bags were found on,the second floor terrace. If any of those water “balloons” had hit someone walking on the Sfibond floor terrace, it is quite probable that the weight of a garbage bag full ’ someone, possibly very seriously. It was also clear that some members of Mr. Marshall’s floor had at least witnessed who threw the water bags out the window. Two of the people whose rooms were attacked had run up to Richard Marshall’s floor and found some of the floor members standing around the window. We felt it was necessary to have the Head Residents impress to the entire floor that we felt such conduct to be a threat to the safety of dorm members. This was not the only incident discussed at the meeting which Mr. Marshall did not attend. Some had to do with the problem of late-night noise, .but it was the water bag incident which led to the mandatory floor meeting. If we had _niade attendance at the meeting optional, or without any means of enforcement, how many people do you think would have attended? . particular, people who . solely read The Spectrum article diminish her effectiveness.

The case in point is that of Dr. Millu Rosenblatt-Roth who for the past five years has suffered harassment and abuse at the hands of the administration. At present. Professor Rosenblatt-Roth is being charged with the henious crime of having rescheduled his F-riday afternoon class, which he did y the university refused to take this and iclpful action is that the administration seeking a pretext which would lead to his positive am writing about administration of the 1 thal pievcni micrierence wnn nis .obligations to observe the as a Jew Sabbath. For this he is under threat of fine and dismissal. Neither of these penalties can possibly be deemed appropriate to the “crime”. One must say openly for all to hear that Professor Rosenblatt-Roth is being singled out from the substantial number of professors who freely reschedule their classes, because of resentment of his Jewishness. Dr. Rosenblatt-Roth's students have supported his actions and approved the rescheduling. The inflexibility is solely on the part of the university. The problem could easily have been solved by rescheduling the class to a Tuesday-Thursday section as Dr. Rosenblatt-Roth requested. However, the was dismissal. This has been followed by slanders on his name, and by trumping up specious charges against him which would have no true legal significance. He is. for instance, ludicrously accused of having slept on his desk! How absurd can you get? (In addition, on the date of this alleged transgression Dr. RoseYiblatt-Roth was in New York City) S< far. the university has spent ovqr ten thousand trying dollars to have Professor Rosenblatt-Roth dismissed. No doubt this will continue unless an out cry comes from the university community in protest of this betrayal of all standards of truth and justice. Nor should one hesitate to link this anti-semitism with the attitude of President Ketter who consistently seeks to rescind university recognition of Jewish Holidays. I would encourage everyone who is aware of this situation to express their indignation by writing to the administration or this newspaper. i PROFESSIONALS^ JS Move with BUFFALO BUFFALO MAYFLOWER <D SJ We extend the same service and expertise shown throughout the Intercampus Moving, to every relocation, local, long distance or international • expert packing • proven cost control • complimentary estimates • electronic specialists Call WALT LINI 874-1080 300 Woodward Ave., Kenmore ICC No. MC 2934 Mark Siev co-President, Jew ish Student Union National Theatre of the Deaf Quite Early One Morning” Thomas V0Jp0ne “A behold!” “ Religious freedom in To the Editor during a time in which he has a personal conflict with his religious duties.

The odor To the Editor Dr. Ketter has a unique policy for attracting good faculty to this university. He practices needless and unlawful religious discrimination against one of our better professors. I can’t see this action , attracting anyone, save the Klu-Klux-Klan. Professor Rosenblatt-Roth of the Statistics Department is an orthodox Jew. His religion requires him to be home by a certain time Friday; he commutes to New York City. Due to his beliefs, it is impossible for him to teach his upper level statistics course on Friday afternoon. With consent from the students in his class, he requested that the Friday lecture be moved to an earlier time. His request was denied. Frustrated, he did not hold class at the scheduled time and now faces suspension and’ even dismissal. Why was this request denied? If rooms are available and students don’t mind, what difference does it make when the class is held. With all the problems facing this university. Dr. Ketter has better things to do than create more problems. I wonder if the smell of the air in Nazi Germany was anything like the odor around Capen Hall. Steven Breslawski Rosenblatt-Roth respected? To the Editor do not agree with Richard M. Orlan’s contention that Millu Rosenblatt-Roth is being persecuted because he is an Orthodox Jew.,1 also take exception to his calling Rosenblatt-Roth “one of our most respected resources.” Rosenblatt-Roth feels that he is being persecuted by the University, which schedules Friday classes for him to teach. He has repeatedly I attempted to reschedule his Friday classes so he may fly'to New York City before sundown (since an Rosenblatt-Roth called a “respected resource.” Respect is something which must he earned. His it was given to him as an tenure was not earned inducement to come here. It also seems that Rosenblatt-Roth does as little work as possible. During the more than ten years he has been here, he has not produced a single Ph.D, student. He has discouraged graduate students from working with him. In Statistics 411 last semester, he failed all the students in the class (except for a few who got an X) by making the final exam extremely difficult and not giving partial credit on the answers. He has not - not travel after sundown on published a refereed paper in many years, if Orlan Friday.) When the University refused to allow him to reschedule those classes, he proclaimed he was being persecuted. However, this argument contains a sneaky non sequilur. Nowhere does the JewiSh religion mandate that the Sabbath must be observed in New Ydrk City. The Sabbath can be properly observed in probably because Rosenblatt-Roth’s Statistics 101 class has earned the reputation of being an easy A. In my opinion, Rosenblatt-Roth does not deserve to teach at this University, and by hiding behind his religion, he cannot change the above Orthodox Jew may Buffalo. Therefore, by not allowing Rosenblatt-Roth to reschedule classes which end at 1:10 p.m. on Friday, the University is in no way preventing him from practicing his religion. It is more galling, , however, to see feels that Rosenblatt-Roth is “excellent,” it is facts. Paige Miller Edmund J.

Student editor Yawman sees several reasons why the Law three-year School’s current program shouldn’t be placed on the chopping block, He feels that the more clinical work a student Attornies. e — — Bored to death Much of the dissatisfaction is rooted in the simple notion that an education ought to prepare one for a career. Sally Stix, a recent graduate of Chicago Kent College of Law, notes that a student planning to practice criminal law might find a detailed study of environmental law almost worthless. “The cliche,” Stix recalls, “is that the first year they scare you to death, the second year they work you to death, and the third year they bore you to death. It’s very true. I thought I was going to die during the last semesters.” She adds that the “dissatisfaction with the third year is because the courses are just more of the same thing taught in the first two years." At most schools, the first two years cover the fundamentals of law, legal research, and legal analysis. Stix two-year favors a theoretical program followed by a year-long apprenticeship under an attorney’s direct supervision. “Before there were many law schools,” she explains, “people learned to be a lawyer by working in a jaw office, and" studying to pass the bar exam...It would be a lot cheaper for the students, who | CAR Cin Cantor I — could be earning money during the apprenticeship.” Not sufficient But Soia Mentschikoff, dean of the University of Miami Law School, opposes eliminating the third-year curriculum. “The problem with dissatisfaction with the third year is that students are bored to, tears,” she agrees. “But two years of law school just aren’t sufficient for most lawyers.” Menschikoff attributes the boredom to inadequate, out-dated instruction, “The* quality of classroom materials...has been steadily going down for .years.” It would be better, she adds, if educators would “take a look at what we should be doing to properly train professionals.” Yet there’s been troublfe making changes. “If there are going to be any changes,” O’Connell says, “they are not going to come fm the Bar, not from the law schools, and not from the Supreme Couit.” O’Connell’s pinning his hopes instead on a populist state that could be legislature persuaded to allow anyone who has studied for two years to take the bar exam. Carrington still hopes that the make profession itself will two-year schools a reality. He warns, though, the system could produce more lawyers, and that more lawyers could mean an increased reliance on the courst to settle disputes. “Our society is already extremely contentious,” he sights. “1 just wish there was some way to increase the availability of legal services while, at the same time, preaching forebearance.” MMHMHaaaBaaaBH Guaranteed Godd People! j Canplato DiajnotHc 2 • Present 874-5111 Tnne-Uf BOB 6U6IN0S AMOCO 3085 Palawan aw. at KanwaaJ ■ Car want staff? -Sfadaloinj ia aUdrieal prablems Ad.^J! .. *•** *5.99 J J �Tiny computers forge way in new ‘Information Age’ N ote: Computers have Pdi tor's >ng been misunderstood in our society, cast as either mysterious, unknowable implements offuture or destruction, omnipotent, infallable wonder-machines that can solve the world's problems if used tmrrectly.

MW HAVEN, CT (CPS) happened, says Pamela Price. Raymond Duvall denies it. Yale University calls its investigation thorough. Price says it was “a sham and a farce.” So argues1 the contenders in the first sex-for-grades case ever to reach a courtroom. And although the Yale sexual harrassment trial ended last week, it may be weeks before Judge Ellen Burns reaches a decision, and years before the issues and emotions generated in a cramped courtroom here are harrassment never took The pre-trial legal maneuvering, ing which Yale repeatedly tried to have the case dismissed, produced a number of legal precedents. It established that sexual harrassmept is a form of sexual discrimination, and thus a complaint that can be legally Pursued under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits schools from placing conditions on women's education that are not present on men s education. Last November, the Federal District Court also ruled that women in a private go Td be surprised if the decision came by March,” said one lawyer, citing judicial caution in the face of such an explosive case.

Finally he asked, 'Will you make love to me ?’ I said no three or four times. He said. You have a really turn-me-on body.’ 1 left then.” 1 Legal precedents Raymond Duvall federal government. Thus Yale,, if it loses this case, stands to lose all Regardless Duvall's )f innocence or guilt, the rulings are thought to he the first formal case students* to legally themselves against harassment in academia made his offer. Balough, to Price, said such were common, but that offers boyish, as a tough grader, emphatically denied offering any student an A in exchange for sex. He testified he remembered nothing about speaking to Price on the day in question. Price asked no damages in her suit, though she did ask that Yale establish formal procedures for investigating charges of sexual harrassment. Yale, on the other hand, generally defended itself by protect sexual Did it happen? Price testified that she visited Kva Balough, a personal friend and dean of Yafe’s Morsefollege, immediately after Duvall allegedly according black-haired professo who actively cultivates his reputation ‘Racist, at heart c courts for remedy, without first complaining to the school or the nothing could be done. Balough denies saying it. “1 told her,'Pam, (his is. like a rape case in court. The wolffan says it happened. The man says it didn't."’ Indeed, William Doyle, Yale’s attorney, argued it as he might a rape case. For a day and a half, the small, bulky lawyer poked and chipped at Price’s story. Did she keep up with the reading foreach lecture? (Price said she didn’t remember.) Did she remember what the weather was on June 6, 1976? Did she recall what she sexistconcerns of Yale’s probe The atmosphere around the Yale sexual NEW HAVEN, CT (CPS) harrassment trial was thick with emotion and controversy. The courtroom was jammed with law students, political activists, housewives, administrators, alumni, the press, and students - mostly women who filtered in and out during the two days of testimony.'In thr hall outside, though, the talk among the observers was mostly about the mechanics of Yale’s defense, and, ultimately, about why Yale was going to such lengths. If the university is found guilty of allowing and failing to provide adequate procedures for remedying sexual harrassment, it stands to lose all its federal assistance. If Price wins, the school will have to set up a grievance procedure. Why, then, is Yale pursuing this suit so aggressively in the face of such stakes? “Male ego,” explained one alumnus. The man with her, also a Yalie, elaborated harshly: ‘You’ve got to femember that this place was all-male for 269 years, and women were brought in largely to satisfy the sexual desires of Yale men. It’s a racist, sexist place. It’s as simple as that.” Ronnie Alexander, one of the original co-plaintiffs in the case, more charitably speculated that “Yale took an extreme position right in the beginning, and has to keep up that profile,” One young woman, who, as the wife of a member of Yale attorney William Doyle’s law firm, described herself as “a friend of the enemy,” opined that “sexual politics . . shouldn’t be decided in the courts.” Nevertheless, “I think this is a really important problem, but this isn’t the (right) case.

They conceded the investigation began more than a year after the alleged incident, hut faulted Price for not filing a formal complaint going or through channels. Though no one apprised Price of what the proper channels were, it was a moot point, Vale argued, because the proposition never occurred. Price, who ultimately did receive a C in Political- Science 39B, first filed a formal complaint in September, 1977. She delayed, she testified, because Dean Balough had allegedly counseled that nothing could be done. But in spring, 1977, the Yale Women’s Caucus had collected evidence of sexual harrassment at the school and took it to the administration. "We were treated,” recalls Ronnie one of the Alexander, complaintants, “like a bunch of screaming women who were not telling the truth . . .' They told (us) to get a lawyer.” Alexander and four others filed a class action suit in August. At the point Balough contacted Price, just back from a student exchange program in Tanzania, and asked if Price wanted to file a formal complaint. She also advised Price to avoid the class action suit. Price then filed, though Duvall had by that time. left Yale for the University of Minnesota. In November, Price was told that an impartial panel of three professors had reviewed her.work in Poli Sci 39B, and had upheld the grade of C. Price immediately joined the class action suit.

UB was later stung by the clutch shooting of Kenny Griffin Saturday night, bowing 58-52 to the impressive Kingsmen of Brooklyn College, “Once the ball goes up, it’s just another game,” Hughes replied after Thursday’s effort. Buffalo had the ball up during first half action, but except for the domineering play of center Nate Bouie, ppeared .to have reservations over whether or not to have the ball drop through no qualms about putting the net. Bouie ripped off 11 straight Buffalo scores to turn a 10-6 deficit into a half-time lead of 21-15. Hitting from underneath as well as the corners, the 6’6” junior went on to score 20 points for the game, hitting on nine of 12 attempts the field.

The Bulls began the next half by running off fourunanswered baskets to move ahead by 14. After picking up four first-half points, senior guard George Mendenhall came alive with three straight field goals Brown finally ended an eight minute dry spell for Fredonia by capturing a rebound over Tony Smith and sending it home. -. No serious threat “1 thought we played well in spots.” noted an unenthused Hughes, “but we lacked the killbr instinct to put it away.” What Hughes had in mind was turning an 18 point advantage into 30: even at the expense of his former players. “To me, and to us as a team, they were a team.we wanted to make our fifth win,” Hughes revealed. Buffalo played the final nine minutes of the contest as if they too were bored with the pattern of play; certainly the 291 fans do/.ing in the»stands were. The 18-point advantage, instead of growing, shrank due to some careless ball handling inside. Confidently however. Mendenhall never allowed the Blue Devils to mount any sertoul late drives.

According to the 1977 Nev* York State Open Meetings Law, no one can be barred from a meeting of a “public body” unless that body goes into executive session. Garver excluded The Spectrum reporter on the grounds that the Executive Committee is “not a public body.” The Open Meetings Law defines a public body as including “any entity of two or more members, for which a quorum is needed and which performs a governmental function for the state or an agency or department of it.” Executive Director of the State Committee on Public Access to Records (COPAR) Robert J. Freeman admitted that the term “public body”, is poorly defined, but felt Carver’s action was probably illegal. “If it is a body that has the capacity to take final action, it seems to me to be a violation of the Open Meetings Law,” Freeman said. the SUNY system before. Freeman strongly supported a protest by students last year that the UB College Council was violating the law. The Taking action? The Open Meetings law has been applied to Buffalo Accounts implicate Attica officers in hanging death by Denise Stumpo Managing Editor Copyright 1979, The Spectrum after being informed of the the weekly business of the Faculty Senate and has the authority to direct the Chairman to take action on behalf of the Senate. During the recent Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) Dean dispute, for example, the Executive Committee directed Carver to draft a letter to President Ketter affirming the Senate’s support for a unified DUE. The Executive Committee routinely appoints Faculty members to Senate committees and often prepares legislation to be presented to the full Senate. On the agenda for Wednesday’s meeting was a to oppose resolution Governor Carey’s suggested tuition hike and a discussion of conflict of interest problems confronting some faculty researchers. The Spectrum has periodically reported on Executive Committee business and, before Wednesday, had never been barred from a meeting. Faculty Senate defies Open Meeting Law; refuses to admit ‘The Spectrum ’ ( The §ps Vol. 29, No. 55 2 February 1979 SUNY at Council, opinion, began adhering to the law shortly after. The Senate Executive Committee carries on hanged by a rope. A towel used in this way could indeed block the windpipe, -causing death, Erie according County to Assistant Medical Examiner Justin Uku. Thus, a towel strangulation mi *h* physically appear the same as the damage from a bedsheet hanging. However, in judicial hanging cases there would be a difference, discernible Uku explained, because the neck vertebrae snap when the body is dropped through a platform. Negron, 25, was transferred to the Box on November 9 after he reportedly threw a glass jar at Officers on duty around 5:30 p.m. At 7 p.m., he was found hanging in his cell by an Officer making the rounds, according to Attica officials. The officers hanged Negron quickly after before rigor strangling him mortis (stiffening of the muscles) set in, Louis speculates. His theory and the reported times of events allow at least an hour’s time for the body muscles to stretch out, thus enhancing the appearance of death by hanging when the body was discovered at 7 p.m. Medical examiner Uku said that, generally, rigor mortis does not set in until six hours after death. Secret which testimony implicates the hands of State Corrections Officers in the hanging of an Attica inmate has reached The Spectrum. The informal testimonials of six Attica prisoners were received from inmate Louis (not his real name) on Wednesday. Louis began a covert investigation into the November 9, 1978 death of prisoner Edward Negron shortly after the “suicide,” and he has since reported his findings exclusively to The Spectrum in a series of letters. According to Attica officials, Negron hanged himself with a bedsheet in a maximum sercurity cell within the facility’s “Box” punishment area. However, Louis and the six other inmates are copvinced that Negron was first beat, then strangled, and finally hanged by the Officers in charge. The six men interviewed were all being held in Box cells the night of Negron’s death, Louis said, adding that he questioned each of them separately and on different occasions. Each of the witnesses spoke' of a type of used by restraint regularly Officers when admitting a ‘dangerous’ prisoner to the Box Not routine a towel wrapped around the State The Corrections neck, which is held tight and Commission mandated to twisted from behind. investigate any death in a State has concluded its report According to Louis, one Box prison inmate stated that after Negton on Negron’s death but the was placed in his cell, “he could findings will not be released until be heard gurgling, and was February 23, according to James Commission public making noises on the wall like a Ryan, blind man trying to find a door information officer.

Uku added that checking , for such fibers is not a routine autopsy procedure. Cover-up charged In a statement shortly after Negron’s death, the Officers in charge reported that Negron was taken from his cell in ‘D’ block directly to a cell in the Box, and that no blows were landed to' either party during the transfer. However, each bf the six inmates attests that Negron was definitely beat by the Officers en route to the Box. “One inmate said that from where he was locked he could look out the edge of his door,” Louis writes. “He saw the Officers take Negron into a room that was used for court (Superintendent’s Proceedings).” —continued on page 22— Despite the release Wednesday of Governor Hugh L- Carey’s proposed budget, the certainty of a $100 State University of New York (SUNY) tuition hike still remains clouded-admist the storm of bedgetary figures. While no direct mention was made of the boost, “recommendations” by Carey could, according to Larry Schillinger, Legislative Director of the Student Association of State Universities (SASU) pressure SUNY into accepting the hike. The budget recommends that SUNY be appropriated an increase of only $35 million of a requested $78 million it says it will need next year. In the wake of the tuition controversy SASU estimated that the hike would raise revenues by $14.5 million. Budget expectations for 1979-1980 tuition nd fee revenues are, according to Schillinger, upped $13 million from last year’s figures. The budget proposal must be approved or altered by the State Legislature, which has the power to cpme up with additional money by amending recommendations and employing cuts elsewhere. For a tuition increase to become effective, however, it would have to be approved by the SUNY Board of Trustees. The Buffalo Evening News Wednesday quoted SUNY Chancellor Clifton J. Wharton as having told the board last week that if SUNY got only $30 million of its requested $78 million appropriation, an increase of $75 to $125 in tuition would be needed to close the gap. Middle-class robbery SASU is rallying support from various sectors to erase even the threat of a tuition hike. The proposed raising of tuition to the $1,000 mark has been termed by SASU President Steve Allinger, “ironic” in the wake of Carey’s January 3 suggested tax cuts of $285 million. “This increase is being sought to offset the tax cuts,” Allinger contended. “It’s robbing the lower middle class and middle class to pay for tax breaks for corporations.” The state’s explanation for the increase proposal was that it could provide necessary revenues for SUNY to loat $275 million in construction bonds by September 1979. Allinger charged that the, increase is not an isolated move by Carey. “Rather,” he claimed, “it is part of a larger attack on Public Higher Education to beef up the elitest and very expensive private colleges.” He pointed out that over the past ten years 33 states have shown a greater financial commitment to public higher education than New York. New York, he said, gives its private colleges more aid than the 49 other states combined, and over the last two years, 46 states have shown a greater financial obligation to public higher education than New York State. —continued on page 2— Harry Chapin in concert—P. 10 / Craft Center in need—P. 17 / Hockey Bulls victorious— P. 21 �Some get the gristle Libraries, Academic Affairs slighted, not Health Sciences Cani/lm hililur long-awaited release of L. Carey's Hugh 1979 80 budget proposal left University administrators and Wednesday sorting calculating the “gills’ they were about to receive. The overall UB of S2.6 allocation increase million fell drastically short of the requested S7.5 million and left many University “programs” out in the cold. Vice Executive Acting President Charles Fogel outlined Wednesday some areas severely neglected in the Governor's proposal. Central, not only to UB priorities, but to those of the entire Slate University of New York (SUNY) system, were library allocations and library acquisition money. UB’s request for additional library acquisition funds (money to purchase new materials) was. according to Fgoel. S306.400. The request was denied. Library Director Saktidas Roy The (iovcrnor - said, as a rough estimate. "We are going to he able to buy only of the about 85 percent periodicals and 85 percent ot the hardcover books we bought this that efforts will be made to keep Street and Ridge Lea branch libraries open budget stipulations While recommend cuts for 24 faculty and 12 support positions within the LB “core campus."

Fogel budget have fallen losses "The Main year cautioned that the Roy relentless cuts could hurt the UB libraries' reputation, “( very year it goes down." he.said. "The reputation can't improve with cuts." He estimated that the national rank of the University research libraries will drop “two or three places” on the charts. Health Sciences prospers "The effects? They will be felt through our gelling quality students', faculty and staff." said Roy. “If research materials are low. quality people will look elsewhere." He added that books will have to be acquired through Inter-Library Loan and journals will have to be sought at other Buffalo and Amherst area libraries. continued on page 2 Cost increase lowdown Required cost increases Equipment Replacement 1979/80 New Building Openings Minimum Wage Legislation .

Although Health Sciences appears to have fared well in comparison with the rest of the University, Acting Executive Vice President Charles Fogel, explained that the division actually received only half the requested positions (I 8 of 36). The reason Health Sciences got any new positions, said Fogel, is that enrollments at least hit targets and next year. Although the other academic areas of the core campus, budgeted separately, increased enrollments by about 500, Fogel said they fell far short of targets. Therefore, said Fogel, the cuts were expected. “They could have treated us worse.” he said. UB suffered a larger loss than most SUNY units because of Albany's systen of counting students, Fogel explained. Rather [rootFe's! jWinq | Ding ■ Thing j | !

The University has accumulated a number of faculty positions, or lines, by not replacing professors who leave the or University through retirement transfers. Fogel could not say whether these unfilled lines would be enough to cover the loss of 24 positions. If would depend, he said, on where (which departments and faculties) the empty lines were and on the number of lines the state will require left open for next year. Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn, the man who must ultimately decide which faculties will lose vacant, or perhaps even filled lines, declined comment on the budget, because it was just released Wednesday. It will take at least a couple weeks until any final decisions are forthcoming, said Fogel.

A key argument employed against the hike is that it could lead to drops in enrollment estimated at 12.000 students for both State and City universities. According to the National Commission for Financing Post Secondary Education, a 2.5 percent enrollment drop accompanies every S100 tuition increase. — - Enrollment drop SASU Vice President Larry Mullin said, “We question the economic-sense of raising tuition. Already, New York is losing high school graduates at the rale of 56.000 a year.” SASLf maintains that any increase will drive “thousands more to out-of-state schools where the cost of a college education will be less than at SUNY.’’ Allinger argued that the Governor should more appropriately propose a decrease in costs an idea supported by UB President Robert L. Keller. Said Allinger. “In the Fall of 1977. the University of Wisconsin cut tuition and fees at two of its campuses which induced an enrollment increase (per S100) of 12.2 percent at the urban campus and 4.8 percent at the rural campus.” Statistics show that the last SlOO tuition increase (Fall 1976) coupled with a':'SIOO raise in dorm fees was followed by a drastic enrollment drop of 4000 students at State operated campuses. Yet even before the 1976 boost. First National City Bank reported that a study showed 12.8 Americans financially unable to go to college. The 1976 tuition hike was implemented in the midst of the slate's fiscal crisis — Legislative support While garnering constant support from masses of SUNY students and organizing rallies such as that scheduled in Albany on Monday.

Today The Spectrum takes a look at the Sehool of Management. by recruiting new faculty, an endeavor which other units in the University have found increasingly difficult. Management hired 14 new faculty, the highest number in the School’s history. The gain is particularly report the states. impressive, considering that top rank schools across the nation are looking to expand and competition for scholars John H Reiss Special to The Spectrum is The search from within Management's 1977-78 Annual Report casts the School in a conspicuously favorable light and looks hopefully to a prosperous future. The report details Management's remarkable success in recruiting faculty, gaining outside funding, hoisting salaries and receiving top flight national ranking. It cites “considerable individual and institutional achievement,” and glows with optimism in comparison to the gloomy portraits painted by other Schools and Faculties. But, Associate Dean of Management Howard Foster told The Spectrum Wednesday, the School's outlook may not be quite as bright as the report indicates. Management is struggling with inadequate funds, an inability to enrich existing programs, and the ironic problem of rapidly rising enrollments. Many Faculties nd Schools here have been troubled by decreasing enrollments and subsequent rollbacks in appropriations from the University. Management’s spiralling enrollment figures have led to bursting classrooms and a rising student-faculty ratio. Emphasis on achievement Nevertheless. Management's report, authored by Dean Johseph Alo Ho who was unavailable for comment, is considerably more upbeat than the somber ones released by Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Social Sciences and Arts and Letters. They cited that skeletal budgets, decreasing enrollments and miserable facilities (Ridge Lea) have led to worsening morale am} severe recruitment difficulties. No such problems are reflected in Management’s report. Rather, the report emphasizes the School’s numerous achievements in the 1977-78 academic year. Most significant were the strides made in Dental School slighted, bill will increase aid to private schools by Harvey Shapiro Contributing editor A bill that would increase State aid to private dental schools appears well on the way to passing the New York State Assembly warns Assemblyman John Sheffer (R., Amherst). Sheffer termed the action “crazy,” in light of the lack of State aid to UB’s struggling dental program. Last semester The Spectrum reported on the severely inadequate facilities which plague the prestigious UB school. Space shortages and outdated equipment, coupled with the State’s reluctance to give funds to improve the decaying program, have thrust the dental school’s accreditation in jeopardy. The proposed measure to aid private schools calls for an $1800 increase in State aid per student to the dental schools at Columbia University and New York University. Sheffer, a member of the Higher Education Committee, voted against reporting the bill out of committee saying, “The State should not be increasing aid to private institutions when UB’s Dental School is so badly in need of financial aid.” The bill passed both theCommit tee on Higher Education and the Ways and Means Committee last week and was introduced on the floor of the Assembly last Monday. With substantial support from the Democrats, Sheffer believes the bill is ‘extremely likely” to’ pass the Assembly next Monday “despite my intense opposition to the measure.” Overlooked once again Sheffer noted that the bill, designed to keep tuition at the private dental schools from rising, comes at the same time Governor Hugh L. Carey is proposing to raise tuition $100 for undergraduates throughout the SUNY system. It also marks the second time within three months that a financially struggling UB department has been slighted in favor of a private institution. Last November, Syracuse University secured SI5 million from the State for construction of a domed stadium. For years, the UB administration has pleaded with the State for funds to build a gym that could replace the outdated Clark Hall facility and adequately serve the University’s 25,000 students. “It is clear to me that the Governor has lost sight of his priorities as a state official,” Sheffer commented. Meanwhile, UB’s Dental School continues to languish with inadequate facilities. This is the second time that the Dental School here has seen similar funding go Last semester. Carey allocated $18 million to SUNY Stony Brook for the construction of a new State dental school. Many people at UB’s School felt slighted by the Governor’s pork-barreling, labeling the move a “political ploy” designed to gain votes in Perry Duryea’s (Carey’s opponent last November) home base. Dean of the UB Dental School William Feagens said last semester that the establishment of a new School in Stony Brook (with added benefits) might pull students and faculty away from Buffalo. Sheffer believes that public funding of private dental schools would have, much the same effect on UB. “By funding a privale institution in order to keep tuition costs down, the State might be taking qualified students away from UB,” he said. Both the Syracuse and Stony Brook situations led to a student demonstration November 3 at the Light Rail Rapid, Transit system groundbreaking ceremonies, intended to illustrate to Carey the severity of UB's woes. At that time, Carey made several promises, indicating that UB would get its “fair share.” Sheffer claimed Carey is now going back on his word with the tuition raise and the funding of private institutions. U) extremely severe Recruitment successes are due in a large part the aid provided by Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn, the report claims. Bunn’s early commitment of support allowed the School to “initiate an aggressive recruiting strategy in a very timely fashion," it says. The report also cites the Dean’s office’s ability to generate discretionary funding which provided support for a number of expenses, as crucial in the aiding recruitment process. Management has been able to “construct credible and competitive packages of total faculty compensation,” the report says, with the help of outside funding. to Thank you Bunn The report consistently thanks Bunn for his much needed support in helping expand the School’s faculty. This gratitude is in sharp contrast to the anger which Bunn’s support for Management and the School of Fngineering has evoked from officials within less fortunate academic areas. Last week, Chairman of the Department of English Gale Carrithers criticized the Vice President for his cuts in Arts and Letters and held that Bunn had been unfair and has slighted his department. While the attrition rate among faculty in many areas of the University is disturbingly high and still rising. Management anticipates a lower turnover rate as well as greater ease in recruiting scholars in the future, mostly due to Bunn’s support. Aid from the University administration, the report states, has brought salaries “into line with market realities,” and has provided adequate reimbursement for faculty members participating in Center for Management Development activities. —continued on page 22— OLD RED MILL INN aSjRlSS, 8326 MAIN ST.

According to his wife, Clifton left with his bike, green 10-speed Schwinn bicycle, between II a.m. and noon that Thursday morning from his Keller Road home. But police are still puzzled by an apparent contradiction. Clifton’s body was discovered in the waters of Lake Erie less than an hour after the reported time he had left to bicycling. go Divers searching for clues came up empty-handed; they were unable to locate the victim’s clothing or the murder weapon, to be large, believed a knife. Police butcher-type investigators also failed to locate Clifton’s bike. To this day. they remain without a suspect or any hints of a motive in the slaying. Police speculate that the brutal attack took place on the beach between 9;30 nd 11:30 a.m. “He was stabbed on a sand dune about 300 feet from where the body was found,” said Evans Police Chief William Joyce. “There’5 a blood trail indicating he an 200 feet downhill from the dune, then he veered to the left and apparently fell,” added.

The State's Open Meetings Law requires that any meeting of a public body where direct action is taken must be open unless there is a majority vote to enter executive (closed) session. keep Carver kicked out a reporter from The Spectrum Wednesday with no explanation, no vote, no mandate and no legal basis. The Executive Committee, acting for the full Senate, makes important, sometimes controversial decisions on a host of matters affecting the faculty and students. Carver claims it is not a public body. We argue that it is. But as always, the spirit of the Open Meeting Law is the real issue. Should representative body like the Faculty Senate feel free to retreat to closed session at anytime? Should Carver be able to decide who can and who cannot attend meetings? And should Garver be allowed to tell the press what they can and cannot cover? (As he did last week by intimidating our reporter into a promise not to print the original recommendations’of the Senate's committee report on FAculty Tenure and Privileges. Those recommendations, incidentally, did not appear in the official minutes printed in the Reporter-, nor did any explanation for their removal.) We are reluctant to accept the starchy, carefully written minutes as "coverage" of Executive Committee meetings. We would like to be there to see for ourselves. If public attention makes Garver uncomfortable, then perhaps he is in the wrong position. For those who think we're being unreasonable, consider this: never before been kicked out of an Executive Committee meeting. Furthermore, we have several times left meetings hen sensitive or personal issues were placed on the voluntarily table. The law provides for a legal way to close the doors for certain topics such as lawsuits and personnel matters, so our rights are limited. But Garver did not ask us to leave at a sensitive juncture. He simply refused to let us in from the beginning. The Spectrum has What is happening here is a not-so-subtle intimidation of the press by Newton Garver. Since we began pressuring the Executive Committee on its illegal refusal to form the Senate's Committee on Administrative Evaluation, Garver has mysteriously disappeared, refusing to answer our phone calls and now barring us from a public meeting. Again, issue is open government. Should the University, to dedicated freedom of thought and collegiality, allow its representative bodies to become exclusive hideaways where a vistor must know the password {or the chairman)? Keep in mind that the Senate is not an informal gathering of associates, it is a representative body. Suppose a faculty member came to see how his government works. Would Carver keep him out? the We are attempting to tell the University what's going on around here.

In recent years, breakthroughs in medicine and technology have reduced or altogether eradicated many of the former leading causes of death. three major causes of death have increased in recent years, one of which is cancer, which causes 20 percent of annual deaths and whose rate is increasing at a rate of 3 percent a year. Asbestos exposure has been pinpointed as a primary factor in this increase. It has been found that 50 percent of asbestos insulation workers die of cancer and now many medical authorities agree majority of human cancers are that the However, environmental in origin. Now to the particular problem at hand. It was stated in The Spectrum (1/31/79) that Mr. Robert Hunt, University Director of Environmental Health and Safety proclaimed that asbestos fibers found floating in Baird Hall basement poses “no health hazard because of their low concentration.” Mr. Hunt apparently was basing his belief on an analysis of a Baird Hall asbestos sample done by the National Gypsum Company. However the sample analysis report alarmingly raises more questions and need for concern, rather than allay any fears. The report confirms the point that the material covering the ceilings of Baird Hall’s music rooms and hallways are composed ot asbestos. It also constantly reiterates that “physical damage or abuse” to the asbestos containing danger and materials presents an immediate undercuts any conclusions of safety. (The presence of physical damage and abuse in the disputed area is apparent.) The report also goes on to state that “the detection of a single fiber in the workplace atmosphere would trigger the need for physical examinations, record keeping, etc.” Additionally, the analysis report points out that the extent to which the asbestos is present in the atmosphere of Baird Hall, “cannot be assessed based on ah examination of (the) bulk sample.” Mr. Hunt also stated that the asbestos in Baird Hall constitutes less than 10 percent of the materials in the ceiling, an amount which would be lower than the amount allowed by the U.S. of Labor. Yet in Department 1973, the Environmental Protection Agency banned the spray Exile of Main letter gastrointestinal cancer. The facts clearly point to a clear-cut obligation and responsibility on the part of Mr. Hunt and the administration to adequately alleviate the asbestos hazard in Baird Hall nd other possible sites on campus. It is a supreme obligation to the great number of students, staff and community people who use these facilities. Anything less would be inhumane and a shirking of duty and responsibility. Frank Butterini Robert Franki NYPIRG St. madness To Tin' Editor This application of material containing more than 1 percent asbestos by weight. In light of this, it is genuinely alarming that Mr. Hunt or the administration would not see a need to take on an air sample study, a task we assume is clearly their role and obligation in light of the findings. The fact that many music students use the rooms as much as 20 hours per week, we believe constitutes a “workplace atmosphere.” Yet this is a minor point. Recent medical findings have concluded that simple brief exposure to asbestos on a periodic basis (environmental exposure) can result in internal tissue damage of the lungs and ultimately organs lung other and and is in reference to the editorial “Exile on Main Street” which appeared in the Jan. 29 issue of The Spectrum. I am only one voice in a chorus of many that are sick and tired of Rosen using the newspaper as an outlet for his tedious, pointless, ultra-leftist, quasi Maoist spewings. This time the subject of his pointless banter was the American corporate structure, to which he has arbitrarily (re insanely) designated as the root of the nation’s ills. What madness is this 1 ask you. In the twisted leftist mind of this would-be cult leader, mindless lemmings (you and I) live out our pre-planned existences brainwashed by the corporate demons who manipulate us through the use of slogans and advertisement. We are totally devoid of creativity totally vulnerable to their procilities. Please give us credit for at least an inkling of any intelligence. While advertising is undoubtedly a powerful influence on our purchasing habits, it still remains only that; and “a better idea” are far from American doctrines, and I seriously doubt that anyone has been duped into believing that the Shell Answer man is a modern messiah. The author also makes the incredible assumption that traditionally, markets are created, advertising comes into play, and soon enough, through this black magic, we all suddenly develop insatiable appetites for the product. This is simply not logical. How could this be true in the case of petroleum, or automobiles. Doesn’t it make more sense that as the nation grows, its demands for certain products grow proportionately, hence the growth of the producer (corporation). But then, why should I bother to write this letter anyway? Rosen’s amblings are -merely the products of a frustrated McCluhan, a philosopher with nothing to philosophize about. Heading “Exile” is almost a test of endurance. One finds it difficult to read but a few paragraphs before his or her stomach begins to heave. Sample this quote “Corporations created the gargantuan appetite for energy and now make millions trying to feed it.” Gag!! Jay, we deserve a break today. Tony Serri Andy Koenig Rob Rotunno .

After cooperating with The Spectrum reporters by engaging in telephone and in-person interviews, and observing their problems in getting everything correct, 1 reached an agreement with a reporter whereby 1 would have the chance to point out errors that might have found their way into her story before it was printed. However, The Spectrum editors would not let the reporter keep her word to me. Consequently, if editors may choose not to allow The Spectrum reporters to keep their promises, I now feel I must require a written agreement signed by The Spectrum editors. But, as you noted, The Spectrum policy prevents its reporters from obtaining my cooperation in preparing their stories. The reputation of The Spectrum for accuracy and reliability is unfortunately low. Even if that did not concern you it would concern me, and a The Spectrum policy which does not allow student reporters or editors to enter into agreements that would provide for the verification of accuracy of prepared stories contributes to that reputation of unreliability. Furthermore, not all erroneous reporting in The Spectrum gets front page retraction and correction; as you know, some of it gets no correction at all even when errors are pointed out.

DiMatteo Commuter Student Concerns Committee (University-wide Study Group on Attrition /Retention The moral moment To The Editor In reply to Stephen Walsh’s letter (eloquently titled “The Moment of Life" by The Spectrum), for a moment, let me introduce the following scheme: If abortions are to be made illegal (on “moral grounds) then: Pre-natal care should be provided free to all women who are unwilling bearers of children. Birthing services (Of a type chosen by the woman) should likewise be free Free daycare should be available on demand for children of all ages; or alternatively, the woman should be paid to raise the children. The father of said child should be required to provide economic and psychological support (i.e. providing a comfortable and beneficial home) to both mother and child, for a minimum period of 20 years, subject to strict enforcement and prohibitive penalties. The woman should be compensated for nine months of physical discomfort (there is much more than he realizes); hazards to health (birthing is 5 times more likely to kill the mother than an early abortion) social embarrassment if unwed (was the pircture of shame ever the unwed father”?), and lost carreer or educational opportunities; and given psychological counselling to cope with either giving up the child, or having to raise it, and marital counselling; and paid compensation for any permanent injury incurred. In short, Mr. Walsh, you can afford to sit back and finely weigh the moral issue of whether a woman “should” or “shouldn’t” have a child because you never faced a lifetime of hard payment for a conception against the odds, or a mistake. You never had to meet the costs. No one claims that abortion is the ultimate, 100% best just right solution for everyone in every circumstance But, for a woman who’s trying to avoid a life that’s poor, embittered or trapped, it’s the only way out once pregnant. What moral right do you have to condemn a woman or her family to that future if you don’t provide an alternative? If you must reform abortion laws to conform to your one-sided morality; then reform the rest of society’s dealings with conception, birthing and parenting so as to settle the social consequences in a just manner. (Or do you still regard sexual activity in women as a sin which they must pay for if they are “caught”; but a social privilege for men?) Katerinv Kasza “ , "RE NOT SUPPOSED ADVERTISE.

WHY ISN’T THE MAN IN THE PICTURE ALSO NAMED! To some this may seem to be a silly criticism, but to others, especially the unnamed person, it is not. Since the photo was probably taken at the GSA meeting referred to in the ccompanying story, the unnamed party is undoubtedly another member of GSA who deserves recognition along with his colleague. The members of GSA do a thankless job and it is unfortunate this newspaper has ignored the opportunity to, at the very least, recognize this member’s presence and contribution. It is not much to ask that photographers and or reporters find out the names of persons appearing in photographs, especially when the info'rmatioh could be so easily obtained. Paul Suozzi / - �;[J] feedback LOBBY WITH STATE LEGISLATORS Rocky's campus To the Editor Recently, New York mourned the passing State and the nation have of a great statesman and philanthropist. His dedication has been unsurpassed in the area of higher education for all,in New York State. This man was Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller. We propose that the Amherst Campus of the State University of New York at Buffalo be renamed the Nelion A. Rockefeller Campus in memory of the late Vice President and former Governor of the State of New York. The former Vice President Rockefeller was a prominent nationally famous figure from New York State. He was the first man from New York to hold that high office in over 50 years. As Governor, Nelson A’ Rockefeller expanded the SUNY system so more could be enlightened. And of particular interest to our community. Rockefeller commenced construction for “the campus of the 21st Century" in Amherst. These are but a few of his accomplishments in his more than forty years of public service. Other structures on campus have been named in honor of various great people of our community and state. We. the undersigned, feel that it would be befitting that nothing less than the entire Amherst Campus be named for the once Vice President and former New York Governor, Nelson A.

The majority of a 247 member class of Stat 101 was present when a university police officer handed Dr. Rosenblatt a hand-signed letter from our University President. The content of this letter was conveyed to us because Dr. Rosenblatt felt that since we, the student, are greatly affected by any action taken, we deserve to know why and by whom. Our administration has been trying for several years now to remove this Professor for what I feel are unwarranted grounds. Never have the students in his classes been solicited for information concerning his compentency, but dubious charges have arisen concerning this man’s right to be different.

The musician/composer, with his particular array of words and tones, elicit from the listener very distinct and personal cerebral visions. And perhaps the granddaddy of story line conjuring is - - Harry Chapin. Chapin's lyrics could never survive as they are the transition from their melody-infused state to a more purely literary medium. The meanings would drown in a miasma of pretension and cliche. But Chapin who has, by the way, with a modified - — — style, written a moderately successful book of poetry avoids such pretensions and sticks with the ni-let-you-feel-this-way-when-it’s-over songs, at which he is a master. At Kleinhans, a week ago Thursday, Chapin divided his show into two parts, manifesting his ability to fuse within the audience’s diverse musical — moods. At first, he took the stage alone tuned, retuned his two guitars and commenced a parade of wistful and somewhat long songs from his new album. This being my first Chapin concert, I began to panic, wishing I had altered my consciousness beforehand. But Tom the photographer eased my trembling, or tried to, and said, ‘‘JCrst wait, before you know it, you’ll be taken in.” ‘‘But Tom," I grimaced, "I don’t understand what he’s trying to do to me with all these stories.” - — Chapin (pint talat of truth The reality of the tong becomes whole Twirling around, I saw at least two thousand similarly serene countenances. My paranoia was profound. What did these disciples comprehend that I failed to? They must, I thought, be pods! I was about to flee, when the rest of the band assumed the stage to harmonize with Chapin’s “Jenny.” Tom explained that this was a touching rock ballad about his daughter (Harry’s) and that if I couldn’t get that, ... I was beyond hope. It got me a little and from that point I grew more and more at ease. Chapin adeptly and subtly manipulated my senses. In the second set, Chapin’s vocals began to more definitively surround his favorite subject: the dignity and solitary will of unaccepted and defeated souls. “Taxi,” perhaps Chapin’s most popular tune, described the almost dreary acceptance a cab driver feels for his meek profession in the presence of patronizing, ex-lover. In the same vein, but more ultimately realized thematically is “A Better Place To Be." Almost difficult was it to imagine that I was still in Kleinhans when the lyrics had me so completely riveted to a puny bar in Watertown. A veteran of several years of touring many of them benefits for charities Chapin had no problem injecting the audience with the spirit of participation. The almost meditative milieu vanished; and in no time Chapin’s affable personality buoyed listeners to sing along, shout and jump to their feet. Chapin smiled. And casually reached for his bottle of Perrier water for a quick sip. - - - - Aiding creative process Maxine Brandenburg Executive Director of ADS Arts Development Services ndeding managerial skills that traditionally the arts community has been weak in. by Ralph Allen The arts rarely exist in a vacuum. The art I know has its lifeblood of support systems; networks for “We are information central," states Maxine Brandenburg, executive director of ADS, which was established four and a half years ago. Brandenburg sees ADS as a part of the recent nationwide grassroots movement that has lead to the formation of organisations supportive of their local artists. In Eric County, ADS's activities are manifold but always their purpose is to help organizations run the business of the arts without dictating to them what the arts should be. One of ADS’s present concerns is the recent pilot decentralization of the New York State Council on the Arts Re-Grant Program Previously, New York artists made applic tions for grants, and the grant-deciding process occurred for the most part in New York City with various panelists visiting artists on site to get a better feel of what was being done. However under decentralization, ADS administers the granting process for this area, and the entire process becomes more immediate. Artists can worry less about being judged by panelists who may have a hazy picture of what’s going on in Buffalo, and the panelists have less area to cover, so hopefully their decisions are based on more than a cursory knowledge of artists’ work. funding, networks for the necessary supplies and services, networks for steering clear of legal hassles, networks for publicity to name a few. Many organizations are finding that the urge to create is only but the first step in a journey of many steps leading up to actual creation. Few people know this better than the persons at the Arts Development Services (ADS). Seeing that the artist and his art gels to the public is their raison d'etre. According to a recent Harris poll, since the 1960’s, a steady growth has been experienced in all aspects of the arts, be it in actual participation or actual attendance of events. On the other hand, organizations undertaking to bring the arts to an ever-widening audience find a bewildering assortment of hurdles to overcome. A dance company is no longer simply a collection of dancers dancing; it is a collection of dancers who must negotiate leases for the large spaces dancers need; who must get the word out to the media and to its prospective audience that they are dancing; who must find ways to support themselves if audience receipts don t cover (as is often the case) operating Havoc costs, and who ultimately have to dance. In Both public and private grants play a short, arts organizations, namely significant role in the arts in America. organizations of artists, find themselves Therefore, ADS views aiding organizations - UUAD FILMS of information between its 130 member heightens each’s general awareness as to what is happening over the organizations entire region Arts hotline —Allen through the morass of applications and regulations most granting gencies insist upon, as crucial. Brandenburg sees inflation as playing havoc with arts organizations’ budgets, making it imperative that artists learn to present themselves in the best possible light to granting agencies. “The cost of attending performances has , not kept up with inflation,” she ascetts.» ji* As with every network, ADS’s strongest asset is communication; such as facilitating relations between local organizations and the national, state and local councils on the arts. One vital link is the ADS News, the largest newspaper in Western New York devoted to arts and culture. As with the ADS Calendar, a clearinghouse of cultural events in Western New York, this exchange ADS’s many services include Voucher Programs for the Performing Arts, whereby reduced price tickets are available to students and other individuals who may not regularly attend performances due to the cost. Artsline, at (716) 847-1444, is a daily listing of cultural events in Western New York. While most of us are acquainted with one cultural aspect of Buffalo, it is hard to be aware of all that is here. With the help CETA (Comprehensive Employment and Training Act) workers, ADS has published a catalog, Of Erie County, the People’s Guide to the arts. As a compendium of Buffalo’s cultural gems and a directory of professional and community organizations working to enrich the citizens of Erie County, it conveys to us the grandeur of what is going on where we live. As stated in the guide's introduction: "Although most people may think of the arts in terms of the art gallery, the philharmonic orchestra, the theater or the university, a close look reveals that these are really the institutional pegs upon which hangs a whole community of artistic activity.” The work of ADS and its member organizations constitutes a very attractive invitation to participate. �■V A space for I all Aristotle said 3000 years ago that art imitates life. This, I believe, is as true today as it was in classical Greece. Art is an extension of life; it is an exploration of personal options for which personal a life is the departure point. If this is so, then it would seem that art contains as much complexity and diversity as does real life. Just as “society" is a useful fiction we use to name that amalgamation of many ordinary and extraordinary individuals living passionately and independently, so "art" is the general name we use to denote the sum result of many individual artists each pursuing their own vision of life’s possibilities and transcendent nature Criticism, which is the way the discursive intellect approaches the artwork, is, like art, a personal exploration of an artwork’s effects and D Costellos Armed Forces: Power struggles through Klavjs Power Pop Conflicts of views are not to be quelled but enjoyed —they provide a broad, encompassing perspective of a film, a book, a painting, a song. meaning for which the artwork itself is a point of departure. As art is extension of life, so criticism is an extension of art. This means that criticism is diverse and complex; criticism is personal. It is a function of the individual man or woman who is the critic. There is no one "right” way to criticize; there is no single approach to any artwork. Criticism is the methodic and hopefully consistent tracing of the evanescent trail the artwork leaves in the mind of the critic. When printed, the critique provides an autobiographical account of how the work of art effected the critic and why it effected him so. This sort of report is important for, in some sense, the artwork is defined by the effect it has on the people who partake of it. It becomes apparent that if criticism is, like art, a personal matter publically enjoyed, then it is essential to the purposes of criticism that diversity of opinion and approach be'allowed. Conflicts of views are not to be quelled but enjoyed they provide a broad, encompassing perspective of a film, a book, a painting, a song. To insist on a homogeneous set of criteria is to completely eviscerate the benefits of criticism. It would be as if all critics save one were banned from print. How much could the reader gain from such a monopoly of viewpoint? At the Prodigal Sun, we are committed to cultivating this diversity of opinion and method. We allow our writers their own minds; we do not impose any uniform rules on them, insisting that they only be responsible and intelligible. We like to think that the Sun is a capacious publication with room for all points of view. In this way, we hope that there will be ample space for each - nd every one of you. -Ross Chapman an LU AC COFFEEHOUSE PRESENTS *00 Tory Lewis Poncho Parrish • • In The RathskeHar u. ***.

The same sneering anger seethes just beneath the surface, but in a world of armed forces the stakes are much higher; life and death. Elvis Costello sees the world in terms of power. Just as it is possible to judge history or politics as a succession of power struggles, Costello brings such upon to bear struggles interpersonal relations.

From been The Beat your lover/l I Don’t wanna be just Wanna be past. From "The Beal”: "I don’t anna your lover/l just wanna be becomes an obsession. Another illustration, from "Busy Bodies,” a song about the deficiency of sex: "You check her be outline/Break your regulations.” This passage* also illustrates Costello’s remarkable faculty for taking an everyday cliche and rearranging it slightly to give it a new and surprising significance. "I got hit looking for a miss” from "Moods for Moderns” and “They keep you hanging on til you’re well hung” from “Accidents Will Happen” are but a few examples. The song which perhaps best illustrates Costello's verbal acrobatics, "Chemistry Class,” is a series of these puns, all relating to chemistry. (“You’re ready to to experiment, ready get burned”). And returning to the military theme of this album, the chorus asks, “Are you ready for the final solution?” In light of this kind of wordplay, even a phrase like “You want her attention” takes on a new meaning and a greater resonance. sources of the music are as wide as Costello’s imagination, however. If the guitar riff on "Busy Bodies," for example, sounds vaguely familiar, listen to it right after "Pretty Woman." The success of this music, then, is not due to any innovative technical advances, but rather a restoration and reinvigoration of many diverse and familiar ideas by one individual, an individual who knows the riffs as well as anyone. Coming attractions Equally effective is the work of the Attractions. The keyboard work is especially impressive, and it is the keyboards which are the instrumental focus of the album. The textural variety of these songs reflects a great variety of keyboard instruments including: upright grand pianos, and harpsichord and the standard electric organ. The predominance of the keyboards over Costello’s guitar on Armed Forces Contributes to a much denser, fuller sound than in the past. Each cut is saturated with sound, as it were, but at no point does the mix become muddled this, a tribute to the tasteful production work of Nick Lowe, whose work seems to improve with each outing. Gone are the days of the "instant records” like My Aim is The modern world twist True and This Year’s Model. Elvis This “cliche with a twist” Costello’s work has taken a method is tied closely to quantum leap with Armed Forces, Costello’s method of musical a leap that can only make you composition. This is to say that wonder what he can possibly do much of the rock and roll on this next. But essential qualities that album is derivative, in the positive have distinguished his music in the sense. The most obvious reference past remain constant qualities point here is the music of the like immediacy, a snarling Beatles. “Accidents Will Happen,” spitefulness and, especially, a for example, has a melodic line as beguiling ingenuity.

However, in The Class of Miss MacMichael, this is not the case. To put it simply, the one and a half hour picture is pure and interminable stupidity. The plot, if there is a distinguishable one, revolves around a British school for wayward children. Apparently the Headmaster (OliverReed), in the opinion of Miss MacMichael, has not approached his job with the proper attitude. Accordingly, MacMichael attempts to foster a movement among the other “teachers” to remove him. By the end of the film, the audience is left in the dark wondering who wins this "big confrontation” presumably the film’s whole focal point. Spliced into the film are glimpses of what classroom life is like. It appears that for the duration of the schoolday, these students do nothing but beat on each other (as well as the teachers), disrupt what little teaching is attempted and perform inane, meniai chores set out by the Headmaster. There is also a story love between Miss MacMichael and an American businessman thrown in for good measure. At the film’s end, the have at — American businessman gets a job in Boston will Miss MacMichael — leave her little kids to join him? Do we really care? Added to the mess are several ridiculous scenes presumably intended to gain our sympathy by showing how caring Miss MacMichael is. A long moan Nothing seems to work in this picture. Transitions from scene to scene are accomplished by dissolves, the screen invariably becoming blank with each change. The screenplay (written by the film’s producers) fails on several counts. First off, it is extremely hard to tell if The Class of Miss MacMichael is a comedy or a drama. If the genre Is drama, the writers do not seem to take it very seriously. If Miss MacMichael is a comedy, then it is unfunny. Another example of the script’s inadequacy is seen in the “big confrontation” scene between Jackson and Reed. Instead of viewing it as a dramatic moment, the audience snickers at the inane dialogue and acting. Both the actbrs and writers carry the scene too far when Miss MacMichael M Wally apart tears the Headmaster’s office, it is a prime example of the writers’ ineffectiveness. The scene is Headmaster and Teacher collidi Reed and Jackson battle before their pet delinquents pseudo-comical instead of serious as intended. The joke is carried on until the audience can only moam After viewing Miss MacMichael one can only wonder why Academy Award winning talent like Glenda Jackson would perform in a third rate production like this.

It sees America as a vast homogeneous society of consumers as a market, not as a country. It ignores therefore the value of the smaller constituencies. It sees people in the mass and not in what e.e. cummings called "the minute Madhouse Rock and Blues — Bill Moyers particulars. A government by the people can only exist if the people are concerned enough to rule, informed enough to rule competently, and individualistic enough to rule in their own interests (rather than ruling casuistically). Therefore, a requisite for a functioning democracy is art active, critical and heterogeneous populace. Television is, I believe and as Bill Moyers suggests, deleterious to the democratic process because it is, above all, a unifying and pacifying force. It lulls the lower reaches of your mind where the personality resides and pulls you gently and quietly into the statistical center. You cannot act when you are plugged down in front of the tube and you cannot think critically when that tube distracts you with narcotic images. By turning on the TV set, you arc switched into a pliant, accepting mode of being. This inactive stale of acquiescence in which man becomes a passive receptor of the crowd’s dictates rather than an individual agent independent of the throng is opposed to the sort of Vital, free-thinking citizenry a democratic society requires. Television, by inciting this sort of homogeneous inertia, is therefore a threat to free government. The source of this vitiating influence lies somewhere in the fact that television is commercial or specifically, that television is a business whose business is promoting the business of others. The status of TV as an agent of marketing has a variety of important results for the prospects of liberty. For advertising to be effective, it must reach its prospective customers; and TV, in order to justify its astronomical prices, must prove to advertisers that their commercials are reaching a very great number of people indeed. This leads the network to rely heavily on a quantitative rating system. Quality and personal artistry take a far back — - ( Xsal pnttccrrs Television is deleterious to the democratic process because it is, above all, a unifying and pacifying force. seat to the raw number of viewers when it comes to making or breaking a program. It makes no difference if a show is brilliant or has acquired a devoted following or provides a useful function; if there is not an immense mob of viewers watching, the show is cancelled. To acquire such a public, TV must appeal to the lowest common denominator. Specific programming limits the audience to a specific sector. This, in most instances, is bad business. So television programs and schedules must provide "a little of something for everybody” (which usually results in not enough of anything for anyone). Thus, TV becomes a composite of the statistically most popular features. Even the stars on the tube tend to have composite features constructed from the most popular kinds of noses, hair-do’s, breast-size, musculature, etc. And we grow up with these numerically normal images, imitating and emulating them until one day we become them (or so Madison Avenue hopes). This homogenezation is not limited to the entertainment aspects of television. Increasingly, opinions are becoming popularized. With disturbingly ascendant frequency, TV shows us only what the ratings prove we want to see. Nightly news coverage becomes a matter of favored anchormen reading headlines on popular topics while we are treated with eye-catching bits of film. Why was there so much coverage of the Jonestown suicides (900 victims) and so little of the Cambodian genocide (1,000,000 victims)?: because there was more ratings-grabbing film of Jonestown than of Cambodia. You can be sure that if the networks had ample footage of bloated oriental corpses rotting in the tropical sun, we would never have seen the end of it. This is distressing. Our view of the world is being filtered through a quantitative rating system that cares little for truth, much less beauty. Journalism and rtistry are becoming (and already are to a g-eat degree) handmaidens of toothpaste, soda pop and panty-hose commercials. We grew up and our children will grow up with television as a significant portion of our and their experience. We slumber in the wan light of the tube as we are mollified into dressing alike, smelling alike, thinking alike. TV is a great trowel smoothing out the lumps and leaving behind a clean, featureless surface. TV is our nightly salve soothing us into anonymity. We are then, as we watch, a loss to the cause of democracy. For democracy, you see, needs you. and not a fasciculated crowd —Ross Chapman by Harold Goldberg The only thing to be regarded as classic with Alice Cooper’s new record, From The Inside, is that songwriter Bernie Taupin appears to be broadening his horizons. He left the Valium-crazed, foggy, cute (Elton John) fan for an on-the-wagon-alcoholic-turncd-trash-culture addict (Alice Cooper). How can a concept record about drying out be relative to Cooper’s aging fans? Nurse fantasies, suburban fantasies, dog fantasies, fantasies bout fantasies don’t mean tiddly winks to kids who’ve been in the hospital for just a tonsilectomy and even got ice cream later. They won’t understand as much as Cooper wants them to. And folks who want suicide won’t give two razor blades about Cooper’s pains. Yup, it doesn’t mean tiddly winks even if the game’s played with yellow pills. Elton Clone If tender old Alice assumes his fans are interested enough in him to listen to a sob story bio, he doesn’t know that kicking yourself down when you’re big stuff gets more sympathy than having courage. To them, Al’s a hero, he can do anything, just as onstage. To show that humanity and that godlike quality is the perfect compromise that brave Alice forgets. Gallant Alice came back alive and it all sounds like something Elton did years ago. But Elton wasn’t so blatant as to assume folks would believe fictionalized truth in Captain Fantastic. If Elton and Alice are going to be acceptable comic characters they have to do it humorously and they can’t use a maudlin, serious Taupin. With Elton's band, Elton’s writer, and the facade of real-life concepts, Cooper becomes an Ellon Clone; and they’re both washed up for now. Don’t make the mistake thought of believing the music on From The Inside is terrible. It’s not and the arrangements are good. But story records depend on the words, which would probably-come up short even when put up against Henry in the comic strip. There are things wrong with the Blues Brothers’ Briefcase Full of Blues (Atlantic) too, but people 1-1AV 17 P™XV O HALr TRADING CO. probably won’t want to recognize them. Saturday Night Live\ Belushi makes the live audience wonder whether they’re supposed to laugh at him or rock to serious blues. You have to understand that he’s mixing comic personas with musical sensibilities, or so the audience thinks thus the idea just doesn’t work fully. Now I’m told Belushi is constantly - surpr sed that his slapstick characters work so well. This record proves he probably underestimates his pple ability before an audience. Or maybe he’s ignoring it; maybe he wants to be our victim. Nevertheless, he and Akyroyd dembnstrate real mayai energy; something rarely demonstrated outside of New Wave music last year. The session folks like Tom Scott, Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn, show they can improvise well and that sessions folk have the yearning to play live. But these are eternal verities; you figure you know this stuff anyway anlf the Blues Brothers just make it more believable. The record’s good to have. It’s better than Hollywood could ever treat the blues; better than National Lampoon could parodize; better than TV could make camp; it’s the medium to record recollections, even if some of it fails.

Main Street Mon-Wed Thurs Fri 10-6 10-9 �Corporate capitalism threatens inventiveness David F. Noble, Mellon Fellow in Humanities and Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has brought his critical attention to the question of modern technology and "the most potent revolution in social production since the invention of agriculture.” America by Design: Science, Technology, and the Rise of Corporate Capitalism (Alfred A. Knopf, $12.95) is an incisive knowledge and its practical applications obeisance to the old, individual-oriented beliefs is antiquated; the corporation assumes primacy. As the results of scientific and technological investigation and experimentation became increasingly controlled by large corporations through the manipulation of patents and the laws concerning them, and through their enormous financial resources the very nature of those activities changed, becoming subordinate to the needs of corporate development and growth. The individual inventor disappeared, largely to be replaced by the professional engineer and technician, both employees of the company, whose work fed into the corporate machine, insuring, as businessmen thought, continued industrial growth. "An essentially human The lessons are several. From the late nineteenth phenomenon, technology century idea of progress and growth, came a social the qualities of life today; those qualities is thus a social process; fabric, were not inevitable but rather the outcome of it does not simply stimulate corporate influence on American life and institutions. Noble portrays the connections between social development industrial ideology and the development of outside but, rather, research-oriented science departments in our constitutes fundamental universities; for example, in 1862, MIT was founded, social development in itself: and in that same year, the Morrill Act granted federal aid stales to support colleges offering the preparation, mobilization, agricultural for and mechanical arts programs.

America by Design is an important book because David F. Moble, the effects of industry’s influence over the course of scientific and educational discourse is, as we may America By Design' readily recognize, still prevalent today. Noble's book, in outlining how "corporate industry has taken on a scientific ura and capitalism has assumed history of the domination of science, invention, and the appearance of reason itself,” is one of a small but the interests labor by of capital and industry. Noble is concerned with social processes, the growing number of studies (the work of David Montgomery, Herbert Gutman, and Ellen DuBois ways in which abstract theories and attitudes are translated into active terms, into activities which among them) being done that attempt to expose the directly relate to and affect human lives. In these conflicts typically excluded from bourgeois history. terms, the conflict that he identifies between science � and technology and corporate capitalism is in the latter’s assumption of rights and perogatives previously yielded to individuals a reliance on the New Books at UGL: Menahem Begin: The Legend private citizen wholely in keeping with the natibnal and the Man, by Eithan Haber; Duke Ellington in ideology of democracy, success, and social mobility.

We had just performed several scenes in which we were forbidden to talk of use any sort of sound. Afterwards, when we talked about how we felt during the exercise, it was generally agreed upon that words were not absolutely necessary for actors. "That’s why they call it show business” someone pointed out. "It’s the business ofs/towing yourself.” Pretty, apt, I thought; also pretty accurate. In theater, so much is communicated visually. And, of course, theater parallels life in this respect. The number of unspoken messages we receive each day is overwhelming. A wink, a hug and a sneer are all unspoken messages yet each has a distinct meaning that often speaks louder than words. Clever artists take advantage of this. Lily Tomlin, Carol Burnett and Dick Van Dyke all expertly use everyday gestures in creating a character. These studied tics and moves are as important to the performer as dialogue or costumes or plot. However, if the artist choose mime or another silent medium for performance, is anything abandoned? One look at a Buster Keaton film tells you that comedy and slapstick are viable styles, but is tragedy or lyricism possible?

This is a highly skilled and much praised company based in Connecticut that will soon be appearing in Buffalo. Through the auspices of the University’s Office of Cultural Affairs, the group will perform works by two of the world's greatest authors, Ben Johnson and Dylan Thomas; As the name indicates, The National Theater Of The Deaf is comprised of non-hearing and many non-speaking actors. Their repertory includes works of theater that would make many run-of-the-mill companies quake in their footlights. Volpone, by Johnson, is an Elizabethan comedy of greed and deception. A wealthy miser feigns dying to see which of his friends and servants would be loyal to him. Often neglected by professional companies, Volpone is wildly funny as performed by The National Theater Of The Deaf. The Dylan Thomas piece is a memory play Quite Early One Morning. As in many of his other works, Thomas describes growing up in rural Wales in the early \ of the century. The National Theater Of The Deaf creates the two worlds precisely through their fine acting. The dialogue is signed by the actors performing the roles. The signing is somehow different for each character, as if two speaking actors were talking in different dialects. For the benefit of those of us who do hear, there are translators who narrate the tales. Exceptional in form and style and content, this company is certainly not to be missed. Such unique beauty as The National Theater Of The Deaf happens so rarely that it must be seen. Spread the word. The performance is scheduled for Tuesday, February 13 at 8 p.m. at The Center for Theater Research.

Under the supervision of students Marty Boratin, music director; Harry Cohen, general manager; Denise Hartman, program director; )ohn S/ymas/ek, news director; Katie Williams, personnel director; and Cliff Weinstein, the station has been able to work around the unpopular but all-too-familiar problem of scarde funding by employing enthusiasm and hard work. "Two years ago we,had nothing; now we h.ive over a thousand albums," Boratin said. The albums are mostly the result ol countless letters Boratin has sent to record companies.

The allocation is far below the lunds other radio was earlier researched stations in the SUMY system have access to by The Spectrum. Essentially, the station is relying on the bare essentials. In general, WIRC’s hours will be 8 a.m.-l a.m., Monday through Friday and 11 a.m.-1 a.m., Saturday and Sunday, beginning February 3. The music ranges from rock, jazz and folk lo reggae, disco and soul. "We don’t believe we could serve the students with any ode set programming,” related Boratin. Basically the type of music played is left up to the DJ's who have "total artistic freedom” in the shows they air; feedback from listeners contributes to the choice of material as well. In addition, the station covers nearly all the home sports events including basketball and football. It also has news campus, ideal and national every hour at the half hour with the only commercial interruptions, if any, being reserved for local businesses. "Anything that happens on campus, we broadcast, because we are interested in the students and want to help the student body," Boialin said. "Some commuters feel alienated from the school, but we want to reach the commuters as well as the dorm residents." WIRC has featured record raffles, contests and giveaways on the air but is an equally active organization when the electricity isn’t flowing. In the past they have co-sponsored various IRC parlies and have participated in the annual Muscular Dystrophy drive. The station has prestigiously found its place in the Buffalo Evening News' “Gusto" and in Tomorrow's Music, a nationally distributed college radio station magazine.

As a result. the Creative Arts College B is in danger and Crafts College courses and programs of losing Center Coordinator Joe Fisher I aims that the possible discontinuation of the courses, involving over 150 students, stems from the Craft Center's desperate need of a S9000 supplemental allotment from the Student Faculty Association (FSA). Fisher maintains that the money is needed to repair several pieces of machinery located in the Center that are essential for the continuation of the College B courses This year’s Craft Center S48.000 budget has been totally funded by FSA except for a scant S2400 supplied by Sub Board 1, Inc., the student service corporation. However, Fisher believes the Center deserves to receive much more funding from that corporation. “Since we are a student activity, we feel eligible to receive much more money from student activities fees," he - - problems,” he said According Vice President for Finance and Management Edward W. Doty, the total funding for liB's student activities is inadequate and thus it is a to matter of priorities why the Crall Center is not receiving enough funds. “The Crall Center receives reduced funding because it is not essential to the students of this University while courses for credit are.” Doty said, He explained that the cutbacks originally stemmed from a of “re-definition priorities" obtained in a 1971 student survey, and the Creative Craft Center did not make the cut Growing “In the 19t>0's. with 1100 student members, the Creative Craft Center was being funded the mandatory Student by Activity fee in addition to receiving a grant from Sub Board, During this time, all Center courses were offered without additional workshop fees, "I have no quarrel with Sub Boarcf because of its decision to reduce funding, but we are trying .how what a beneficial organization the Creative Craft Center really is," said Fisher. these Despite continuing budget woes, officials involved insist that interest in the Craft Center is growing. This year over 1000 people, including 60 new members, use the facility. “This is an exceptionally good sign," said Siggelkow. “It shows a marked growing interest in the center.

Design in Metals, Design in Fibers, Enameling and Survey of Crafts. OF FORTUNE: US's Creative Craft Center, plagued with budget problems, may have to discontinue some of its programs and courses unless provided with an additional $9000. The Craft Center courses, which are offered through College B, include Pottery, Design in Metals, Design in Fibers, Enameling, Survey of Crafts and Photography. WHEEL said FSA’s windfall For that 'needed funding, Fisher looks to the S5 50.000 recently received by FSA from its sale of the bookstore’s inventory to Follett Bookstores Inc. “The FSA board is currently investigating ways of using this money and we hope to receive a portion of it,” said Fisher. The current fate of the Craft Center therefore depends on revenues from student members. “It is a vicious cycle of putting our priorities in the right places,” said Vice President for Student Affairs, Robert Siggelkow. “FSA could help with some support from of the bookstore to the Follett Company and I would be very unhappy and if there was no puzzled consideration for the Craft Center,” he added. Fisher also draws a distinct connection between the Center’s funding problems and the lack of State funding. Although the State did offer financial backing for the original construction of the Center along with SI20.000 for necessary facilities, Albany has since failed to provide additional money necessary to fund a staff or a daily operating budget. Priorities In what he termed a “true contradiction,” Fisher noted that most other University centers nationwide, such s Ohio State, Indiana and Louisiana State University (LSU), are completely State staffed and funded. “We have been overlooked in the State’s most recent Supplemental Budget.

Committee members also claim that rules prohibiting dorm vandalism are not readily enforceable. One of the functions of the Inter-Residence Judiciary (IRJ) is to prosecute students allegedly responsible for property damage. Adler explained the current procedure, informing that severe cases can be brought before the Amherst Police and fines imposed. He added that IRJ can decide to place violators on probation and have them dismissed from the dorms if they become involved in further incidents. “Unfortunately,” he said, “these measures do not seem to representatives. to Governors' Head According Resident Ken Johnson, destruction of property increased markedly last semester. University Police statistics show that reported vandalism incidents increased over 100 percent between last spring and this past fall. However, Adler and Johnson agree that incidents have let up considerably since the beginning of the year. Alluding to vandalism scenes in the movie Animal House, Johnson explained, “People think this was what college was like.” He added, “No one likes to live in something that looks like it’s been through a war. - VICIOUS VANDALS: Van out acts of vandalism such as gashed chairs, broken windows, and destroyed University property have prompted students in the Governors' Residence Halls to form a committee with the hope of solving the increased incidence of destruction.

Spectrum In the state of Morelos, an hour outside of Mexico City, rises the 17,800 foot volcano known as Popocatepetl. This monarch and sister peak its Ixtaccihuatl dominate the valley for many miles and are so immense they can be seen over 100 miles away. Both of them, but especially Popo (the Mexicans’ affectionate nickname for the 6 syllable mess in the first line) are like a Mecca to climbers from Mexico and all over the world, and with very good reason. Although they reach Himalayaa proportions, they are relatively easy climbs Popo commonly taking no more than 24 hours in ascent and descent and therefore attract beginners as well advanced climbing as everywhere. This enthusiasts coupled with the sight of their faces against the impressive horizon would be enough to entice anyone to climb them. It was enough at any rate to entice this writer. Popocatepetl means “smoking mountain,” and indeed it was still active when Cortes arrived in Mexico in the 16th century. The generations of Indians that had lived in the Mexico City basin and the builders of Tgotihuacan saw it erupt more than once during their short history under its shadow and it is said that the Spaniards lowered men into the crater to obtain much needed sulfur for their gunpowder during the conquest of Mexico. Some climbers, however, prefer to head on immediately to another appreciably smaller shelter at 14,000 feet, three miles up the trail. To go beyond that, one must wait for the dawn. Breathless and tired The trail to the final shelter is composed of a strange, dusty material not unlike sand, which offers little resistance to a hiking boot. The powdery material makes it doubly difficult to gain forward progress. The average be beaten by simple perseverence Sunrise Sunrise on the volcano The technical part of the sun’s ascent begins at dawn. An observer arriving late would be amazed to see over 100 people stretched out in one long line from the shelter to somewhere near the rim of the crater up out of sight.

All during the hike to the final shelter, one notices how large and clear are the stars; how many the shooting stars; how bright and beautiful the old moon looks sitting up in the sky illuminating the path so generously. And then comes the sunrise. Off to the left and miles away, the face of Ixta becomes bathed in morning hues reddish which Step by step Soon you decide - A new world Almost all the climbers will stop here; very few will go on. At any rate, everyone at least pauses here to eat some candy bars and take some pictures. For all intents arid purposes, they’ve achieved their end; the discovery of a new world, a very uncommon one.

The view from there is even more impressive, and of course you become drunk with a conquering feeling when placing your foot on the highest point. Only the diehards go on.

Why do they go on after 17,000 feet when they can’t take more than 10 or 20 steps without a rest? There is an intensity of feeling up there; an intense awareness of yourself.

Well there’s the guy 10 feet to your left and the person in front of you, but they can’t propel you to the top.

Although the team played without three of their top bowlers, UB managed an impressive 2771 compared to Erie’s 2622. In the first game UB trailed until the tenth frame when a pair of clutch doubles pulled out a 919-916 victory. Paul Tzinieris and Mark Foster sparked the Bulls with 206 and 200 respectively.

Tzinieris hammered a 233 while Gary Zeller and the rest of the UB squad contributed heavily to produce the 885 total. Player-coach Tzinieris was very pleased with the upset. “Beating fifth ranked Ene will be a great boost for our team going into our tournament here on Saturday,” he said, reviewing Tuesday’s match. Top bowlers for UB were Tzinieris with 661; Seier, 606; and Large, 530. The Bulls are looking forward to their invitational Tournament this Saturday at Squire Lanes.

Attica continued from page 3 Outside funding for Management more than doubled, the report indicates. The School received record support fVom alumni and the Center for Management Development began to develop necessary funds. In all, the School generated an estimated S576.626, up from approximately ,$250,000 the year before. The report cites the School’s numerous achievements, most notably its encouraging position in national and regional surveys. The MBA program was ranked in MBA magazine as one of the top in the Northeast, and the 1977 Carter study found Management to be one of the top 30 schools in the country. But the School does have its problems. It has experienced accreditation problems, due to the deficient number of full lime and doclorally qualified instructors available to students in the part-time evening program in Millard Fillmore College (MFC). In its 1976-77 review of the School, the continuing accreditation committee of the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSA) held that MFC was still far below its staffing standards. Although the staffing problem existed only within MFC, it affected the accreditation of the entire school. Hence, Management was forced to place all of its new faculty members recruited last year in MFC as a short run plan to maintain accreditation. Going backwards Furthermore, according to Foster, the report’s claim that 14 faculty were recruited is misleading since almost half made up, for departures of other members. still Foster explained that Management grappling with a number of serious problems most of which, despite Bunn’s assistance, are related to PHOTOCOPYING money. He claimed that classes are far too large and that money is being devoted to the teaching of basic courses rather than to the enrichment of others. Many "luxury-elements that others are used to” are unaffordable at this point Foster • remarked. lie said that rising enrollment has upped the student-faculty ratio to approximately 29-1 ratio. “Even though 20-1 is above the campus average,” he said, “we could still live with it. But we’ve gone backwards in the last few years.” Less money, more work Foster answered charges that Bunn has been unfairly generous to Management by claiming that over the last ten years the School has less money and faculty per student than it did ten years ago. “The fact is the amount of reallocation of money is far less than the reallocation of student demand,” he stated. “We have a larger load, but we have not gotten proportionally more resources.” He said in the last ten years. Management’s student population has more than doubled while the faculty has increased only 30 percent. Foster said that although salaries may have been brought “into line with market realities,” as the report indicates, they are no longer at the top end of the range, but “are now well inside the range.” He explained that the Accounting program has experienced difficulty in recruiting faculty since salaries in that area are generally higher. “Our ability to compete at that level is strained,” he claimed Budget concerns could continue to put a damper on the School’s plans.

A shroud of secrecy seems to surround most prison deaths, and Negron’s is no exception. Attica Superintendent Harold Smith refused to answer any questions about the Negron case when contacted by The Spectrum. “I don’t talk to student newspapers,” he stated. Meanwhile, Louis has become quite critical and analytical of conditions prison and circumstances. “I’m going to continue, even after I’m released, to find an answer to this death,” he declared. “Expecting the State to investigate and find its employees guilty is like having a person’s feet refuse to move because their hands are stealing: they are part of the whole body and thus work together,” Louis remarked in a statement of political philosophy. “The same goes for any Federal investigation: the State are the hands and the Feds are the feet. Only in very ew cases will they go against each other,” he continued. “And these few cases are usually because the State is interfering with Federal dead money, not because of inmate that is of a minority group to begin with.” Negron was of Spanish decent. The inmate said that Negron was “screaming like his life depended on t” while in the room, and that the Officers subsequently closed the door. Such are beatings commonplace in prison, Louis related, and are known as backs” “pay Officers’ for prisoners’ acts of defiance. The inmates Louis talked to were reluctant to answer his questions for fear that their names would somehow be marked, he said. For the same reason, the “Box” inmates disclosed none of the information presented here when routinely interviewed by State investigators about the Negron case. “We have ‘time’ to do ancf you know what it would be like if we said anything against the Officers,” the inmates responded in justification of their silened, according to Louis. Reprisals “Why is there such fear?” Louts wrote, then responded: “Because that says anyone anything against the Officers to the public gets paid back in ways that the public is not aware of. Mr. Negron’s death is a prime example of this payback system the Officers use,” he asserted. Negron had a ecord of two fights and one assault during his term at Attica, which began in 1977.

The budget calls for the deletion of 24 faculty and 12 support positions. According to Acting Executive Vice President Charles none Fogel, of the million request was $7.5 “overestimated,” that is, fluff. Fogel also said that “normal turnover” will be enough to cover the line cuts. Budget details, called by many the State’s best-kept secret in years, were obtained on Monday by The Spectrum. The full document is to be released today and a complete report will appear in Friday’s paper. For the entire SUNY system, Carey recommended a $35 million hike instead of the requested $78 million. Thus, UB’s increase fell proportionately short of the SUNY system’s as a whole. But the increase itself was still in doubt late Tuesday. While Fogel’s figures showed the increase at $2.6 million, Legislative Director for the Student Association of the State University (SASU) Larry Schillinger told The Spectrum UB received only a $ 1.5 million hike. — Tuition hike questionable Schillinger said the SUNY budget increase represents a 4.9 percent jump “not at pace” with an inflation rate of 7.5 percent in the academic sector. While no direct mention of a SUNY $100 tuition hike was made in the budget, tuition and fee revenue expectations for 1979-80 are, according to Schillinger, upped approximately $13 million. He said, “Although the - budget did not come ight out and call for the tuition hike, the proposal could be worked into the revenue figures. By no means can we go off guard," SASU had estimated, in the wake of the tuition controversy, that the hike would raise revenues by $14.5 million. A key tactic in the University’s bartering with the State apparently failed. UB had offered to increase its “savings factor” i.e., money that is budgeted but not spent to escape the cuts that would ordinarily result from a two-year failure to meet enrollment targets. The University proposed to save $600,000 by increasing the savings factor based on the assumption that enrollment would rise within the next few years to a level at which that money would once again be “deserved” by UB. The arrangement would have given Capen Hall more flexibility in cutting costs, since it would bC left up to the University to decide from where the $600,000 would be accumulated. — reserve for when enrollment climbs being held in unspent again. The savings factor ploy was also an insulation against future cuts. Budget makers here feared that if UB was cut to its lower-than-anticipated enrollment level, the State might keep the money even if and when the enrollment projections begin to be met consistently. The $400,000 slash may eventually confirm those fears. — Traumatic condition? the University’s Fall 1978 budget alternate action that would remove resources, rather than freeze them by the savings factor technigue, ould not only destroy the flexibility so absolutely necessary, but would create as well a.serious traumatic condition in the University community.” However, the budget calls for an outright $400,000 cut and, according to-Fogel, tells the University how to cut back, but not where. Thus, the 24 faculty and 12 staff positions have been lost, but they may be pulled from any area. Albany approved no part of the increased savings factor, Fogel said. "They did not buy the proposal,” he explained. Hence, the $400,000 is lost to the University rather than According to request, “Any The S[pE© Libraries hurting UB administrators had expected more success with the savings factors tactic. “Our assumption,” Fogel said, “was that they would tend to take about half the [$600,000] amount. They have instead taken away about two-thirds of what we had specified.” Fogel explained that in the budgetary request, “We ask for tilings unlikely to be obtained, but good for the institution,” Adding that this factor must be taken into any account of losses and gains. Fogel pointed out that while UB was given “the go ahead”'tm construction of the second Amherst Campus athletic bubble, a money request for the RF.ACT program within the School of Mangement was denied. “I think we should feel both comfortable and uncomfortable,” Fogel said. “While we did not completely gain the degree pf flexibility and thrust we expected, recognizing the needs of the State, we could have gotten something much less.” Although exact figures had not been computed as of Tuesday, SASU’s Schillinger spotted “two categories of immediate concern” in the SUNV budget. Schillinger said that outright, library acquisition monies and equipment replacement funds have been glaringly underappropriated and appear thoroughly inadequate. Wednesday-.

Parker News Editor University Director of Environmental Health'and Safety Robert Hunt said Monday that asbestos fibers found floating irt Baird Hall’s basement air pose no health hazard because of their low concentration. Hunt’s claims were quickly denounced by New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) officials, who insist that no one truly, knows how dangerous asbestos can be in promoting certain types,of cancer. NYPIRG exposed the floating asbestos fibers last Friday. Asbestos fibers have been linked to lung cancer and cancer of the throat, stomach, colon and the Labor Department’s standards only apply to one type of cancer: mensothelioma, an incurable lung cancer. Butterini said, “No standards for other types of cancer have been established because different exposure can affect people differently.” “Minimal amount exposure of asbestos dangerous,” he said Hunt believes that the to can any be amount of asbestos in Baird is not enough in itself. He to cause cancer said, “In order for there to be a concern, you would almost have to be working with asbestos blowing in the air. Someone who would be applying the mixture, where it would be loose and blowing, would need to be - protected.” Hunt and NYP1RG disagree on many observations. Hunt feels that the condition of the Baird has not worsened significantly, while NYPIRG officials claim that decomposing asbestos is flaking off and particles may be lingering in the air. Hunt said, “The ceiling was never much better to begin with, the only loose particles have occurred where students have dragged their fingers across the Hall ceiling.” Butterini, pointing to the asbestos ceilings in the rehearsal rooms where Music students practice their instruments noted that vibrations or “even someone slamming a quite presumptive students’ Call NYPIRG Hunt explained that if there was evidence of considerable sloughing particles in the air I would have had air samples taken.” He conceded the only proof that a hazard does not exist in Baird would be to take such a samplq a- decision he opted not to do last December. — Hunt, basing his conclusion on of Baird’s asbestos tiles by the National Gypsum Company laboratory said that asbestos constitutes less than 10 percent of the materials in the ceiling and concentrations in the air would be lower than the amount allowed by the U.S. Department of Labor. HoWever, — Hunt said, “We’re perfectly willing to let NYPIRG come in and do an air sample.” Hunt that explained Environmental Health and Safety is planning to reseal the damaged portions of the ceiling to ensure there is no leaking of any materials. He said, “Within two weeks, there should be new sealers on the bad spots.” Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal saitf if they seal the asbestos, then it should work for three years; by then the Music Department woirld have relocated in the soon-to-be constructed Music and Chamber Hall on the Amherst Campus. Study the air But neither Hunt nor National Gypsum have any empirical proof that the level of asbestos in the atmosphere is within Federal standards. The firm said in its November 13 report that there is no way to determine how much asbestos is being released in the air from simply examining the ceiling tile sample Hunt provided. A monitoring mechanism would be required to gauge how much asbestos is in the atmosphere, the report said. The National Gypsum scientist expected the asbestos level would be minimal, but wrote that: “If there is some concern over the possible introduction of asbestos in the air, I would suggest the monitoring procedure.” Hunt, combining the National Gypsum report with his own Minimal exposure However, NYPIRG project coordinator Frank Butterini said on well being.” an anlysis the cause Although NYPIRG contends that any Amount is harmful, Jay Halfon Chairperson maintained that Hunt’s decision not to have air studies done “was “then decided against mechanism. can themselves.” rectum expertise, monitoring door” flaking. “If you just take a cursory look at the ceiling, you 11 see the facts speak for However, noted Neal, “It’s difficult to get money to fix the IT SNOW: University Director of Environmental (above) declared on Wednesday that the particles of asbestos flaking from the Baird Hall basement ceiling are not present in concentrations hi0i enough to post a health hazard, much lees cap sc cancer.

Hunt pledged. old building, when plans have been made to move.” Hunt, who said he is also in favor of replacing the asbestos ceiling for aesthetic reasons alone, remarked, “The health hazards on Michael Road and Bailey Avenue are greater in trying to exit when traffic is heavy.” But Butterini, who disagreed totally, supports an immediate remedial program in Baird. “The burden is on their shoulders,” he commented. “They should be held immediately accountable for their actions.” �M » a.

In pitiful comparison. UB's SCATE report has not been published for four consecutive semesters. Though SCATE was overwhelmingly approved by students in last semester’s referendum, lack of funding and reluctance of professors have led to SCATE’s demise. - SCATE continues in its nonexistence by Mark Meltzer Campus Editor Despite apparently overwhelming student support, the Student Course and Teacher Evaluation book (SCATE) has now failed to appear for the fourth consecutive semester. A November 8 student referendum gave SCATE an 822-70 mandate. Cost has been the major factor preventing the publication of SCATE, according to Victor Doyno of the Faculty Senate Subcommittee on Teaching Effectiveness. The book will not come out this year because the Student Association (SA) simply cannot afford to fund it, Doyno stated. It is estimated that SCATE would cost $15,000 to publish. SA ' Director of Academic Affairs Diane Eade said the administration has been cooperative in considering SCATE as the first step in a larger program of teacher evaluation, but admitted, “The topic of SCATE, in itself, is not a popular one among the administration.” Vice President for.Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn said the Faculty Senate is reluctant to recommend a specific plan to evaluate teaching effectiveness because, the Senate feels the administration has not been responsive to such studies in the past. On May 9, 1972 the Faculty Senate adopted a resolution recommending the University to provide funds “adequate to attract and keep outstanding staff to direct the Office of Teaching Evaluation.” No such office currently exists. Other recommendations in the report were left untouched as well. Bunn said the decision to begin a new study of teaching effectiveness hinges on the outcome of Governor Hugh L. Carey’s Executive Budget, which is scheduled for release tommorrow.Bunn feels SCATE is important to a teacher evaluation program. “Student evaluation, as well as peer evaluation, are two aspects of any kind of our lobbying efforts in Albany.

At The Spectrum we have been recognizing this for years. Which is why we make such an effort to attract as many people from as many different backgrounds and knowledge areas as possible. Our staff is strictly volunteer and completely open. There are no requirements, no restrictions, no experience needed and no hassles about getting involved. Contribute as often and as regularly as you like once a month or once a day. Whatever schedule yoii have, we can work around it. Whatever interests you have, we can appeal to them. Whatever skills you have, we can use and improve them. It is, in a word, easy to join The Spect rum. Bpt still, we find people have many misconceptions aboflt us. Some people think we require so many articles or so much time per week. We don’t. Some people think we have our set staff and are really not interested in displacing anyone. No true we are chronically understaffed and this semester is surely no exception. Some people think we are one big clique, difficult to break into. We think this is nonsense and we bet most of our staffers would back us up. Some people think that there is no particular area that interests them. But we are a broadly-defined, flexible publication that tries to touch all the bases at least once. But most importantly, we feel there is much to be learned at The Spectrum. We firmly believe that the newspaper provides a real-life, richly rewarding learning experience that simply cannot be had in the classroom or the library. We have, very simply, something to offer the students of this University. And history has shown they have something to offer us. There is more to be learned Thursday at our gathering advertised elsewhere in this issue. Please consider us.

The coverage has been rigorously opposed by the recently formed UB Rights of Conscience Group. At a January 23 meeting, the CARASA group established its primary goal of informing students about their abortion coverage, which is included in the policy. CARASA member Trish Franzen stressed the importance of student awareness of insurance coverage. Even more importantly, she added, students should realize what is lacking in the contract. According to Franzen, CARASA would like to see the insurance, currently sponsored by the student corporation Sub Board I, extended to cover emergency room fees, hospital room bills, and prenatal care for those opting for pregnancy. The abortion coverage is included in the $70 insurance policy. Some sort of health insurance is mandatory for all students. Those that cannot produce proof of coverage under an alternate plan are automatically charged for the Sub Board policy. The Rights of Conscience Group is against any mandatory insurance coverage for abortion. They maintain that, although students are technically free to chose their own insurance, many are forced to subscribe to the Sub Board plan because it is less expensive than outside plans. The group’s co-chairperson and UB Law student Stephen Krason has said the group is not necessarily pro-life, but pro-choice. The Rights of Conscience Group circulated petitions against mandatory abortion coverage this past fall, and received 1,300 signatures. Karson pledged to come prepared to fight the coverage at the March 8 Sub Board meeting, where next year's insurance policy will discussed. CARASA representatives have also announced intentions to appear at the March 8 meeting, armed with petition signatures of their own. CA will challenge NFG plans for a rate increase by Joel DiMarco and Susan Kushner The Citizens’ Alliance (CA), a public advocacy group, announced Saturday that it will challenge any attempts by National Fuel Gas to obtain another rate increase in 1979. NFG, which received a 6,2 percent rate increase from the Public Service Commission (PSC) at the beginning of this year, announced last Thursday that it would file for another rate, increase sometime during the month of February. The announcement was made by NFG executive vice president John M. Brown at’ the company’s annual stockholders meeting in New York City. NFG had filed for a rate hike equivalent to a $41.3 million increase in annual revenues but was granted only a $21 million increase by the PSC. “Our legal intervention in this rate case with expert witnesses did result in some victories,” said CA co-director Kenneth Sherman. “The rate increase was -kept to one-half of NFG’s request, and more important, the rates were flattened, which means that most of the increase was passed to the large commercial and industrial users of gas.” But several shareholders at the NFG’s annual meeting complained that the company was not earning enough profit. According to NFG’s own financial statements, the company showed a profit of $22.7 million on total revenues of $549.9 million in fiscal 1978. Brown reported that such earnings are well below what is termed n “adequate return on equity” by the PSC. Kooks, nuts and activists But CA Chairman Arthur Pellnat asserted that “another rate increase by NFG is completely out of order.” “We feel NFG has already gone beyond the inflation guidelines,” he said. “President Carter’s anti-inflation director, Alfred Kahn, has directed consumers to consider using economic measures like boycotts to force companies to hold the line in price increases,” noted Sherman. Last year, CA directed a 100-day bill boycott against NFG which it believes helped to hold down rates for gas consumers last heating season. At its second annual Gas Justice rally held at Mount Saint Joseph’s Academy, CA pledged to attend any PSC hearings on NFG’s rate increase application and provide more expert testimony, but stopped short of committing itself to another bill boycott in the near future. CA is urging NFG’s 675,000 customers to send postcards to the utility voicing their opinion on the increases. Meanwhile, NFG president Louis Reif is encouraging the company’s shareholders to come to Buffalo when the PSC holds its-rate increase hearings. “Shareholders don’t show up at the rate hearings,” griped Reif. “Kooks, nuts and activists show up, but investors don’t show up.” Typically, it takes about 11 months for the PSC to approve or deny a utility rate increase. During that time, CA plans not only to try and stop the rate increase but also to secure a rollback from NFG’s present rates. Even if their best efforts fail, CA believes that a fight now will either delay the company’s filing or stall the hearing process so that the PSC can not grant an increase'until after the next heating season. NFG’s stockholders meeting was attended by about 40 persons and lasted less than two hours, during which time the stockhblders heard the annual report from management and reelected seven members of the Board of Directors. The stockholders also added a new .member to the board, Buffalo insurance executive John Walsh Jr. AH eight board members were supported by management. During the meeting,, an NFG stockholder held a downtown press conference denouncing the annual stockholders meeting being held in New York City. “As an NFG stockholder, I am mad that National Fuel Gas, which does its business and makes its profits in “Western New York, refuses to boost Buffalo by having its annual meeting here,” said shareholder Bernadette Miller who also felt that the meeting should have been held with the convenience of the majority of the stockholders in mind. SA officials prepare for suit to halt Springer implementation Student Association (SA) officials began preparation Tuesday for a possible suit against the University aimed at halting implementation of the Springer Report next fall. approving new degree requirements will have to be outlined, as well as the input other offices will have. SA President Karl Schwartz, anticipating that University President Robert L. Ketter will give the go-ahead final for the heavily-debated implementation today, has discussed the suit with SA lawyer Richard Lippes. Schwartz said that the University’s failure to notify current students and entering freshmen of the massive change to the Carnegie Unit will become the foundation of the suit, if it is filed. Logistical problems such as bus schedules and classroom slates are “minimal” compared to the academic unsettlings the switch to the Carnegie Unit will create, Peradotto said. Eliminating April preregistration once discussed as an option in an administration pressed for time, is no longer an alternative, the Dean said. The implementation ordeal, Peradotto warned, “is going to take a responsiveness to the needs of the entire University above and beyond the needs of individual programs.” The Dean said DUE’S top priority will be to maintain “a responsiveness to the needs of students who must pre-register in April.” Without accurate and complete information on what courses they will need to graduate, Peradotto said, students will have no way to select a schedule. Thus, new academic requirements and “grandfather clauses” that will exempt current students are the most pressing concerns, he said. Meanwhile. Ketter’s final verdict was put off another two days while advisors prepared a timetable for smoothing the difficulties the new system will create Strong objections Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn officially recommended Friday that the Faculty Senate’s Springer Report be implemented in 1979. Bunn’s decision set aside the strong objections of SA officials and the warnings of DUE Dean John Peradotto and Associate Dean Walter Kunz. Both had predicted massive logistical snarlings if the Carnegie Unit was put into effect this September. Ketter asked Bunn Friday to prepare a report outlining the major difficulties expected and how Bunn’s office proposed to deal with them. Peradotto, Kunz and Bunn’s Associate Claude Welch were still preparing that report Tuesday afternoon. It is expected to be completed today. Peradotto said Tuesday that the major question addressed in the timetable report involved “who has the authority to decide what and when?” For example, he said, the role of the Faculty Senate in Unsettlings Moral obligation But students have pledged to continue their fight against a fall implementation. Schwartz, along with other SA officials, had waged a week-long battle in Capen Hall meeting rooms a battle that will probably end in defeat today. He said the University still has a “moral obligation” to provide incoming students with an accurate picture of academic life here. The school must also furnish current students with enough time to transfer should their academic lives be drastically upset by the new system, Schwartz asserted. These two contentions could form the base of the lawsuit, he said. - Rape Awareness Day Today is Rape Awareness Day at all SUNY schools.

The final bibliography, or list of references, appears at the end of the paper on a separate page and includes only those works which you refer to in the body of the paper or those works which you quote and footnote. A style sheet or writer’s manual will give you the acceptable form for listing the works on a final bibliography. But this column is not about the final bibliography. It’s about the working bibliography, the gra'dual accumulation of sources for you paper. You may begin your reading from many starting points: the list of references in your textbook, books of bibliographies compiled by scholars, the card catalog, or entries in indexes. The working bibliography begins with your first search to locate information on your topic. For an example, I’ll assume that you begin With the subject ard catalog in the library. Once you have checked the Library of Congr ,.j Sub/ccl Heading List and located two or three likely headings for your topic, move to the subject card catalog to find the books under those headings which are in the library’s collection. At this moment, begin the working bibliography. The most compact and flexible organization is a stack of 3 x cards.

Once you have located the books in the stacks, place a check after the title. That means you have looked at the book. Scan the table of contents and index and compose a single sentence to indicate what is contained in the work. For example, a text may be a general work on your topic but not contain the specific information you may be looking for. For future reference, describe the contents of that work as “general overview.” If the table of contents or index of a book does indicate relevant sections, make a note of the pages on the card nd the topic covered. When you have eliminated those works not likely to be useful in your paper, and have noted this on the card, begin reading and note-taking from the remainder. Many writers prefer to lake extensive notes in a notebook and to reserve the cards for compiling the final bibliography. Another workable method is placing a second card to record direct quotations you may wish to incorporate into your paper. If you read a passage which will provide authority for a point which could be disputed, which will document facts, or which is persuasive information, copy the passage exactly on the second card.

[Ej The MLA Style Sheet N.Y MLA �Language proficiency test use is discontinued by Cathy Carlson disadvantage since UB language stress some degree of Spectrum Staff Writer programs Inaccurate test scores have resulted in the termination of required language placement tests here. The tests, which were used to measure a student’s proficiency in a foreign language and help in University course placement, have resulted in misplacement and frustration fo nany language students. Much the discrepancy in the test be t traced dudents who intentionally re poorly on the exam in order to be placed in a low level course, according to Coordinator of Language Learning Jeanette Ludwig. She explained that students who are fairly fluent in a language would purposely score low to be placed in an elementary 101 course and reap the benefits of little work and an “easy” A. Weak background The decline in the quality of high school language instruction has also been an important factor in the inaccurate test scores. Associate Professor of Spanish Jorge Guitart remarked, “The cases where there were problems were because of weak high school backgrounds.” He explained that high schools tend to emphasize reading and writing aspects of foreign languages while oral training takes a back seat. Thus, Students who lack conversational background can be at a fluency. Currently, the burden of properly placing foreign language students falls upon the DUE academic advisors who review an individual’s high school performance and then suggest an appropriate level for placement. Ludwig noted, “The usual rule of thumb is that one year of a high school language is equivalent to one semester of a college language,” She conceded. however, that this is not always an accurate way of assessing a student’s competence Ennui Ludwig believes there is a built-in safeguard which prevents students from taking a course far below their capabilities: boredom She maintains that fluent students will tire of the rudimentary level of teaching in courses below their abilities and eventually drop the class. According to Guitart, the initial advantage for students who take four years of a foreign language in high school will be erased in three weeks. He explained, "The high schools don't go far enough in grammar and in the more complex aspects of the language such as compound sentences.” However, these two safeguards are not foolproof, according to disgruntled students. One French student complained, “In a class of 15-20 there are maybe three who were accelerated students.” She claimed that these students "severly undercut the confidence of the class” and added that the majority of students are keenly aware of the advanced skills of some individuals. Manana, manana The students with more training brought down the morale of the whole class, said the student who wished to go unnamed. She protested, “It is like hitting your head against a brick wall while the advanced students breeze right through.” She noted that misplacement also threw off any class ‘curved’ grading system. Not only are accelerated students being placed in elementary levels; the opposite is also occurring. According to another language student, the process goes both ways.

Indeed there evidence of extraordinarily poor a long period of time and responsibility for this must rest squarely on the shoulders of Robert Ketter. It appears that Natural Sciences is demoralized and despondent based on statements attributed to Dean Paul Reitan Dean Butler’s report indicates serious problems in Social Sciences including what appears to be a disastrous situation in Psychology. The English Dept, was sufficiently upset by the prospect of future budget cuts to walk out of a meeting with Dean Levine. The Language Lab has large amounts of unuseable equipment, a situation planning. No one seems to know who is really in charge of undergraduate education, and we don't seem to know how much credit students should receive for the courses they take. Busing between campuses is a ghastly nightmare for students. Many top professors have left UB for greener pastures. Many more professors are considering leaving. The student attrition rate at UB is the highest in the state, etc., etc, ... It is obvious that UB has been muddling through in the most incompetent way, and this has been the case for many years. President Ketter is not only unpopular, he also seems completely incapable of managing the basic needs of this university. Surely it is time for a change-at the top. Howard Duluth . With all due respect for his professional expertise, we strongly feel that Director of Environmental Health and Safety Robert Hunt erred when he chose not to install an air monitor that would gauge the level of asbestos floating in the Baird Hall basement. A National Gypsum Co. consultant report suggested such a device "if there is some concern" over the level of asbestos in Baird. There ought to have been that concern. As certain as Hunt is that the asbestos level is safe, he still does not know how heavily the cancer-causing fibers are concentrated in the atmosphere. And he does not know if the potential health hazard is getting worse. If nothing else, the monitor would have helped ease the minds of the music students and faculty who work and practice in the Baird Hall basement. It is Hunt's job to provide confidence that the environment we live and learn in is safe. Vet there are other, potentially serious questions that make the monitor suggestion an even more pressing one. The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) claims that the standard. Hunt used applies only to one form of cancer. Asbestos is suspected to cause several types. There is also disagreement on how seriously the ceiling tile containing asbestos is deteriorating. NYPIRG claims it's worsening every day. Hunt says no. We are not prepared to proclaim an immediate health hazard in Baird Hall. But we are certainly not convinced of the opposite. For these reasons, we urge Hunt to initiate an air monitoring program in Baird Hall. NYPIRG ought to take air samples of its own, but the University has a-special responsibility to protect the health of its students and staff. Deliberate caution and extra safeguards are more than appropriate, especially with a hazard so invisibly dangerous as asbestos is known to be. Arguing for an option To the Editor Although our group (The University'of Buffalo Rights of Conscience Group) was n6t specifically sighted in “Carasa’s stand,” in Friday’s The Spectrum, it would seem that CARASA is mounting a campaign to oppose us in an effort to. as it was put in the letter to the editor,'“fight for all the rights that they have." As a woman, a person with rights, and an officer in the University of Buffalo Rights of Conscience Group (UBRCG), I would like to point out that CARASA could not possibly be our opposition, on the issue because they aren’t even arguing on the same level. Anyone who gave the matter any thought would be quick to see that it is necessary, if one intends to fight or debate, to meet on common grounds. The people of CARASA are dogmatically fighting an effort to maintain the Editor in Chief abortion coverage in the Student Health Insurance Plan. UBRCG, on the other hand, is simply asking that an option be given to the conscientious objectors to funding abortions. We maintain that an option can be arranged! We suggest that it would be in the best interests of all University students if the abortion coverage were offered as an option. Our petition efforts and our conversations show that, at the very least, a significant minority are with us in our efforts to achieve an option in the Student Health Insurance Plan. It is our hope that Sub Board 1, Inc. will be sensitive to our plea for an option, on the grounds that it (the mandated abortion coverage) violates the rights oT conscience of many UB students, when they design future insurance policies.

Editorial policy is determined by the Editor in Chief, Flepublication of any matter herein without the express consent of the Editor in Chief is strictly forbidden. As a student attending this University, 1 was faced with the problem of finding an insurance policy or, at least, making sure that I am, in some way, covered by an insurance policy. 1 was lucky to find that 1 am still covered by my parents’ plan. It seems that ever since my arrival at the University of Buffalo, all 1 have heard about is the Student Health Insurance Program offered here. It seems to me that the main problem with this insurance policy is that there is a mandatory charge in it for abortion coverage. I repeat, this fee is mandatory! This means that all students who wish to purchase this insurance would also be supporting a cause (abortion) which some of them may not approve of for various reasons. Why should anyone who opposes coverage have to go find another policy abortion if there is one (a good one, I might add) offered to students here at UB? To me, that doesn’t seem logical! Why should UB go to the trouble of offering an insurance policy if some of the students would have to go and find another form of insurance because they didn’t feel they could accept UB’s policy for moral reasons? That doesn’t make sense to me! From what I have learned, it would be possible for UB to adopt a new insurance policy which would make the abortion coverage optional. This means that people who wish to include the abortion coverage in,their insurance policy can take advantage of such an option. Those who wish to not have the abortion coverage in their policy, for whatever reason, need not include such coverage in their policy. It all seems so easy! I cannot see why there is so much hassle!

This grim fact has been bantered about so much in the last three decades that it has not only lost much of its nightmarish edge, but has been Analysis albeit accepted as a matter of course regretable by world society. Hardly stopping to examine the suicidal ramifications of an -ever accelerating — - nuclear arms race, the U.S. and the Soviet Union have amassed thousands' of atomic weapons. The superpowers stand poised to completely destroy each other’s civilizations at a moment’s notice, deliverable in a matter of minutes. Recent revisions pi nuclear strategy imply a turning away from the cornersfone of Soviet/American arms competition; Robert McNamara’s Mutual Assured Destruction or MAD; and accelerating improvements in weapons technology make the situation all the more alarming, bringing us that much closer to a nuclear armagedden. Twenty tons Indeed the arms buildup fyas gotten to the point where it has a morrientum of its own, appearing irreversible. Not content with being able to consume each other in nuclear infernos many times over, the U.S. and the Soviets allocate billions each year toward the development of new and more accurate bomb delivery systems. Invariably the U.S. is five to ten years ahead of the Soviets in new weapons technology; we lead the way in the explosion of the first A-bomb, the first H-bomb, the deployment of the first submarine-lauhched ballistic missiles and the multiple war heading (MIRVing) of our land based missile force. The Soviets consistently .find themselves playing catch-up ball to the engineering proficient Americans. Despite frequent alarms emerging from the Pentagon and pro-military spokespersons, the U.S., up until the last few years, enjoyed marked nuclear superiority over the Russians, and we still lead "them in most categories, including accuracy of missiles, total number of nuclear warheads (9000 vs. 5000), and progress on new weapons like the superfluous systems terrain-hugging cruise missile. The total amount of nuclear overkill that the superpowers possess is mindboggling; 20 tons of TNT for every man, woman and child in the world..While the Soviets have vowed never to be the first to unleash a nuclear attack, the U.S. still reserves a nuclear strike choice as a strategic option. Atomic fallout Fueling the nuclear arms race is an enormous military-industr-J complex. These corporations stand to make billions out of an escalating arms race, cost overruns and all. With their conservative pro-military allies in Congress and the Executive branch, they form an incredibly ' powerful lobby. The conservative mood of the nation makes the pro-military lobby even more potent. Weapons systems have become immune to rational scrutiny in the current atmosphere; if.ever there was a sacred cow it is our weapons programs. Belated efforts to do something about this horrifying arms buildup in the form of the U.S./Soviet Strategic Arms Limitations Talks (SALT) in Geneva have yielded some tangible results by imposing quantitative limits on the number of launchers each side can have and by curbing the full scale development. of Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) systems. The ABM trend was considered especially dangerous because it might have tempted one side to launch a pre-emptive strike against the enemy, secure in the knowledge that it could knock down any subsequent retaliatory attack with its nuclear tipped anti-missiles. Under the Nixon Administration the U.S. spent $6 billion for the Safeguard which guarded a missile ABM system - base in North Dakota - only to have it —oonthiugd on page lO— �m - :t nS&Sfi Assured destruction The first nuclear age began in 1945 and can be described in terms of the Cold War, the rivalry between the Soviet Union and the United States and its NATO allies. While coming close on a number of occasions, catastrophic war between the United States and the Soviet Union has been averted —'in part because of a strategy known as Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD). By maintaining an overwhelming retaliatory capability and being ever ready to completely destroy its adversary, each side makes a first strike by the other an exercise in suicide. This, in theory, provides mutual deterrence and makes nuclear war “unthinkable.’* The first nuclear age has had (and continues to have) its problems. Daily, the U.S. and Soviet governments behave as global terrorists, holding tens of millions of people hostage to their nuclear threats and counter-threats of annihilation. While each side has tried for that technological breakthrough whieh would render the other defenseless, their nuclear arsenals have grown far beyond the requirements of deterrence giving the superpowers the ability to obliterate all life on this planet. However, the second nuclear age promises to be an even greater danger to humanity if that is possible. - k-. by David Miliken Special to The Spectrum The nation is at peace. Scarred by the horrors of the Vietnam war, Americans have grown increasingly skeptical of the military. And of government itself. Across the country, municipal spending is being chopped by ax-wielding tax revolters. We are blitzed with forecasts of an insurgence against big government. “Austerity,” we hear. “The era of limits,” is upon us. America Yet, down the clean, cool corridors of the nation’s largest office building, the nation’s largest spender continues on, as if the era of limits somehow forgot this labyrinth of bureaucracy. Is Defense spending the uncontrollable, irreplaceable monster it appears to be, destined to overpower every President or Congress that attempts to tame it? Is it the tonic the economy needs, or can’t afford to lose? Is the nation’s health and security firmly footed in the colossal bankroll annually presented to the military minds in this a nation country? at peace? cut viciously-defended notion that military money creates jobs and stimulates the The effective silencer of cries to Defense spending is the most economy. Defense spending booming in spite of taxpayer protests Commentary — The basis for this idea can be traced back to 1941. Billions of dollars were spent by the U.S. in defeating the Germans and Japanese. When the war ended, the Great Depression of the 1930’s was no more. Military expenditures provided dramatic evidence that it was a cure for an ailing economy. In W.W. II most of the weapons production was labor intensive. In other words it required many workers. Today’s weapons production, however, is capital intensive requiring large amounts of raw materials, expensive laboratories and advanced technology. It employs fewer people. As a rfesult, massive military spending contributes to unemployment rather than helping to solve the problem. ... Another study by Marion Anderson of the Public Interest Group in Michigan (PIRG1M) found that for every billion dollars spent n military industry there 14,000 fewer jobs than if the same money were spent on civilian industry. Similarly, one billion dollars allocated for military personnel wages creates 30,000 fewer jobs than one billion dollars spent by state and local governments to hire teachers, police, and firemen. Shrinking employment * The shrinking employment power of the Pentagon is especially evident in California where, despite increasing military spending, total aerospace employment has decreased from a 1968 high of 750,000 to approximately 440,000 today Bell Aerospace in Wheatfield severa| thousand workers over decade. But even when military Locally, has lost the last contracts are plentiful, employment in (he aerospace industry is irregular and uncertain. When contracts are finished, layoffs inevitably follow. Besides exacerbating the unemployment problem, weapons spending has an inflationary effect on the economy. Massive Pentagon spending pumps the economy full of money but does not produce a product that consumers can buy. As a result, there is more money chasing fewer goods. And that’s inflationary. Available products increase in cost and the buying power of money decreases. Not only is massive military spending bad for the economy, it is also unnecessary. Several former presidential advisors, including former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, have testified to the “over- kill” capacity of the U.S. nuclear arsenal. — This conclusion has been supported “by several recent studies. According to the Center for Defense Information, military employment per billion dollars has shrunk from over 100,000 in 1964 to just 45,000 in 1977. The same money could have created 53,000 jobs in civilian production, 71,000 jobs in anti-recession aid to state and local governments or 98,000 jobs in public service employment. Nuclear overkill I. F. Stone pointed out in 1972 that only 22 percent of. the military budget was used for defense. This figure is somewhat generous since it includes the unnecessary nuclear overkill referred to by McNamara. The rest of the 75.1 billion dollars was spent on the Vietnam War (20 percent) and the U.S. overseas military empire for the purpose of “containing communism” (58 percent).

Next to India, the youngest member of the "nuclear club” is China, Following the American and Soviet example, China acquired nuclear weapons in order to become a world power, but China’s border with an increasingly embittered Soviet Union cannot be discounted. India, of course, is a neighbor of China.

Called the “A-Bomb Kid," Phillips, an undergraduate majoring in physics, used 1 JEWISH 0 easily obtained, unclassified material from the U S Government Printing Office and the Princeton library to design a crude but workable atom bomb. Excluding the plutonium, it would have cost a mere $2000 to build. Phillips’ thesis was that if he could design an atom bomb, so could others. For a while it was hoped that the sheer complexity and expense of enriching uranium and reprocessing spent reactor fuel would allow the United States to control the availability of bomb-grade fissionable material. But that hope has been soured dramatically as a result of two developments. First, new technologies are making enrichment and reprocessing easier and cheaper. Secondly, in response to the growing demand for nuclear exports, other nations with developed nuclear industries France, West Germany. Japan voeapons.

Between 1961 and 1977, 75 communities affected by military cutbacks received Federal aid. Altogether, 78,000 civilian jobs were created to replace 68,000 military jobs.

The atomic fallout that would result from knocking out incoming Russian missiles was deemed an unacceptable peril. • 9 • is that the U.S. land-based missile force might be vulnerable to Soviet attack by the mid 1980s, and that MAP with its Counterforce, by making a case for a first strike and shunting aside the deterrence factor inherent in nuclear strategy, increases the likelihood of atomic war. Since major urban areas wouldn’t be involved, it supercedes the balance of terror-reality of nuclear confrontation, which ensures that any power making a first strike would be subject to massive some carrying underground carriages missiles, others not would thwart this contingency by forcing the Soviets to engage in a baffling guessing game to determine exactly where our missiles are at any one lime. Basically what it amounts to is a giant shell game. - — Underground shells The SALT I agreements were signed and approved by Congress in July 1972. Admittedly the accord was glaringly incomplete but it was a landmark step in the right direction. Finally there was some recognition that the ( existing situation could not go on. Yet in terms of putting a real stop to the arms race, SALT I was a failure. There was no provision regarding the deployment of, MIRVs, the multiple warheaded missiles which at the time only the U.S. had in its possession. Moreover the ceilings placed on the number of launchers each side could have were above what was already in existence. Both the U.S, and the Soviets subsequently deployed MIRVs up to the maximum allowable limits. SALT II, currently in its final stages, goes a bit further than SALT I by placing a three-year moratorium on the development of new weapons systems; placing limits on the cruise missile, which again only the U.S. has; and putting a revised ceiling on the number of launchers each side can possess. The moratorium on new weapons systems is especially significant, yet may be misleading. At present, the Pentagon is working on a new Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) called the M-X. Not only does the M-X have more destructive power than the present Minuteman III, but it would be incorporated into a new strategic brainstorm called Multiple Aim Point or MAP. MAP, which would cost between 30 and 50 billion dollars, involves shuttling missiles back and forth in underground tunnels over an area the size of Rhode Island. The idea behind this insane concept f Mere pittance Fell swoop As the M-X won't be ready for another years at least, the three-year moratorium means virtually nothing as far as the new system goes. And of course if we go ahead with this scheme the Russians are sure to follow suit. Recent analyses of the SALT agreements and their net effects on the arms race have demonstrated that, overall, the agreements have done virtually nothing to put a damper on the competition; rather, they have diverted energies into qualitative improvements on weapons systems, such as making warluads more accurate. Targeting technology has evolved into a state of the art perfection where American missiles can now hit within a tenth of a mile of their targets. Where before most nuclear devices were intended for densely populated urban areas, they are now targeted for the adversaries' missile silos. Out of this has emerged a new strategy called the counterforce doctrine. Counterforce, first unveiled in 1974 by then Secretary of Defense James ScHlesinger to an astonished group of reporters at a press conference, maintains that a limited nuclear exchange where only the other side’s nuclear strike sparing urban force would be. hit centers- is a viable option. Schlesingcr estimated that only 30 million would perish in such an exchange A mere Herein lies the crux of the--problem. Nuclear war is regarded by the military planners as an elaborate strategic game. Killing and destruction are merely more sets of statistics, an unfortunate result of the larger contingency scheme. In fact the U.S. has seriously contemplated the use of nuclear weapons on at least seven separate occasions. In 1954 John Foster Dulles offered the French three nuclear devices to use against the North Vietnamese during the military debacle of Diem Bien Phu. President John F. Kennedy was on the brink of launching a nuclear attack against the Russians during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. And in the late 40’s there was serious discussion within the Truman administration of knocking out the Soviets an atomic attack. in one fell swoop Truman, it seems, was deterred from this course by the presence of a massive Soviet Army poised on the borders of Western Burope which could have overrun the Allies in several days. Also the U.S- at the time did not have a formidable enough nuclear arsenal to inflict enough damage on ( the Russians. five Who will be next share their knowledge and expertise and to fully cooperate with non-nuclear countries in developing nuclear technology. The treaty outlines various safeguards but fails to recognize that these can never be adequate. A government seriously committed to acquiring nuclear weapons will find ways of circumventing the safeguards. Moreover, parties to the NPT can withdraw on three months’ notice and thus be legally free to use the nuclear technology they acquired while under a treaty against building nuclear weapons. The roots of the Non-Proliferation Treaty’s failure are also found in the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union. While preaching non-proliferation, the superpowers have continued to arm themselves with nuclear weapons. This is not only hypocritical, but it is also contrary to obligations set forth in the NPT, which calls Tor the “achieving at the earliest possible date the cessation of the nuclear arms race.” Israel gets the bomb Of course, not all countries have signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Among the non-signers are India and a number of countries with nuclear weapons potential, including Israel, South Africa, Pakistan, and regional civah Brazil and Argentina. The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) believes that Israel has a minimum of ten to twenty nuclear bombs. The fissionable material for these weapons may have been separated from spent Israeli reactor fuel or acquired by unauthorized diversion and theft of uranium from U.S. and international sources. The Israeli nuclear program began in the fifties with the help of the French government. continued tr p.iqe disarmanent total disarmament was put forward by the U.S. and its Western allies in the early 50’s. When the Soviets accepted the proposal in 1954, a shocked America quickly withdrew the offer. This and other instances reveal that the U.S. was not genuinely interested in making the world safe from nuclear destruction but rather has remained bent on achieving superiority in order to better implement foreign policy objectives. And to be fair, the Soviets wish for the same although they have lagged far behind in the competition until quite recently. They backed off in the Cuban Missile crisis only because their nuclear force was smaller than ours. SALT, it seems, has to an extent been pittance used by planners military further to accelerate the arms race. President Carter, in order to ensure passage of the new SALT accord when it comes before the Senate sometime this year, has reiterated that SALT will not require cutting back of new U.S. weapons systems. The proposed military budget calls for a three percent increase in military expenditure over inflation. Despite all this, SALT is an attempt to come to terms with an extremely vexing problem. Unilateral and complex reductions in nuclear weapons might be more effective, but neither side is prepared to attempt something as drastic as this. In the absence of anything else, passage of the SALT accords is crucial. Already it is facing strident opposition from conservative elements. Among their number are Henry Jackson, Senator from Washington and our own leprechaun Senator, Daniel Patrick Moynihan. It is sure to face a protracted floor debate in the Senate.

The existence of nuclear weapons is itself no promise of deterrence.

The development of nuclear weapons may also be very uneven from one country to another.

N < /(S �feedback O"' 50 Ye ; r Get priorities straight To the Editor I am angered and saddened by President Carter’s budget proposal. It is a clear indication of America’s priorities; weapons of mass destruction take precedence over jobs programs, education, housing, energy, health care. We must not allow ourselves to get caught up in the rhetoric and double-talk of the Carter Administration. We must not allow the President's claim that this is a “compassionate” budget to overshadow the truth: too many people are out of work; too many school systems have had to lay off teachers and deny recreational programs to children; too many handicapped people, senior citizens and people with low incomes cannot afford housing or health care; too many Love Canals and West Valleys cry out for funds Let's not forget nother truth: the weapons systems to which Carter gives his loyalty are designed for mass killing. Their purpose is to murder grandmothers, maim children, destroy cities. Detroit Mayor Coleman Young has said, “America's greatest enemy lies in the poverty and degradation of its people. We must get our priorities straight. If the main enemy and dangers are within, then the main money must be spent within, rather BUFFALO PROFESSIONALS!

Citing a policy of Shea’s which prohibits smoking and which prohibits one from standing on his chair, Mr. Bonelli claims that this repressive atmosphere gave forth to a rather unimpressive concert. He also adds to his list of grievences the ever changing voice of Mr. Garcia and the mysterious no-show of Ms. Donna Jean Godchaux. It is because of people like this, that the music staff of The Spectrum is consistently under fire. Mr. Bonelli’s remarks reflect all of the immature comments one would make of a Shaun Cassidy concert. I for one was glad that people were not allowed to stand on their seats. When paying $12.50 for a seat, (Remember the “Always a righteous $5” days.) it would be nice to see the band. Too many of us pay exorbitant prices for concerts and often can only see the cymbals of the drummer if we stand on our toes. Aside from this, if Mr. Bonelli had paid attention to the beginning announcement, Shea’s is a historical landmark. As such, it deserves some kind of respect. I cherished the opportunity to see and hear a concert in such a distinguished and refined an auditorium. It is not often that a true music lover gets to see his favorite band under such exquisite conditions. The smoking issue is also asinine. Anyone who can not enjoy a concert because he cannot smoke at that concert, probably does not know how to enjoy music. One who is truely interested in music can “get into it” stoned or straight, despite their personal preferences. It is the music the people come to hear, or so 1 thought. Evidentally Mr. Bonelli missed something very beautiful at the concert. He missed the spirit of what a Dead show is all about the concert itself! Instead of alluding to the spirit of the concert as a rare event, when the Dead could slip into a transient movement of the past, present and future, as only the Dead could do, he chose to be a selfish little kid who was upset because his “toys” were not allowed Be you the child that you are Mr. Bonelli. Tell us how great punk is. Disregard the way contemporary music has prostituted itself by commercialization. 1 expect you will run to the next general admission jungle at the Aud, and see some 20,000 teeny-boppers faint when the Bay City Rollers sing S-A-T-U-R-S-H-l-T. As for me, 1 trucked up to Buffalo, to mellow slow, and saw my boys play in “Just a Rock and Roll Band.” Social disease can’t be ignored 1 wish to take issue with the commentary by Tim Switala in the Catching Rays column of The Spectrum’s January 26 issue. The author believes that the protests by Women Against Violence Against Women and the Coalition Against Domestic Violence directed against the punk-rock group, Battered Wives, will ultimately serve, not to discredit the band for exploiting and trivializing wife-beating, but to give them publicity which they would not otherwise receive. It may indeed be true that the media has covered the group’s activities, and, just as seeing Deep Throat was all the rage among “decent” people a few years ago as a result of protests, some may attend Battered Wives’ concerts now, if only to ascertain the reason for the clamor. Nevertheless, on another level, the huge success of a few famous pornographic films has, since the heyday of virtually unconditional First Amendment guarantees during the late 1560s and early 1970s, resulted in the passing enforcing and of constitutional anti-obscenity laws. I am not saying that I personally agree with government regulation in this area; in fact, WAVAW itself expressly opposes such laws and seeks to encourage citizens, not to rally to their legislators, but to boycott the products and concerts of organizations which capitalize on violence against women. I am pointing out that protest by citizens is the way to inform the public of the wrong and attain the desired demise, in the desired way, of the source of the outrage. Battered Wives will not “die an ignorant and unattended death”, as Mr. Switala believes. These particular “musicians” may not exist as that group within a few months, but their spirit will live on. That spirit was born untold eons ago, when certain - THE RHYTHM DANCE STUDIOS Hertcl 1444 Avenue — near Norwalk JOIN THE FUN instead of watching m learn THE LATEST IN THE NEW YORK, 3 COUNT AND LATIN HUSTLES. - Philip Dinlwjcr To the Editor DISCO DANCE CLASSES AT After all, no one had any power to complain about it in the past, and society managed to survive. Even spousal rape was hardly an issue anywhere before 1978; there simply was no such crime. Sex violence and violence against women is gaining popularity in our time. WAVAW was created over two years ago by concerned Los Angeles women in reaction against the anti-women motion picture, Snuff, which purported to document the actual torture and sex-murder of a human being. WAVAW is acutely aware of the prevalence of violence in the advertisements of the albums of the Rolling Stones and other misogynists. In fact, WAVAW newsletters and campaigns are more directed towards struggle in this area than any other, and some gains have been made, including the removal in Los Angeles of a billboard advertising Black and Blue, featuring a smiling battered woman. (Concerned people may obtain more information from WAVAW 1727 N. Spring St. Los Angeles, Ca. 90012. S membership is $5,00 per year.) People who minimize the effect of violence in American entertainment would do well to consider the growing number of rapists who refuse to believe they are abnormal, the jurors who set these monsters free, the judges who give them sympathy (!!!), even the possible connection between violent pornography and incitement to sexual violence (See Seymour Leshback and Neal Malamuth, “Sex and Aggression: Proving the Link”, in Psychology Today vol. 12, no.6 (November, 1978), p. 110). Only through active resistance against this garbage can we as a society ever hope to overcome the rank injustices committed against half its members.

The host Royals were lad by Cindy Coburn, whose average of 199 gave the senior the hitfi aeries in the A competition. Sue Fulton (above), the Royals' number two player after Coburn, enjoyed a weekend off but will be bowling in next month's ACUI tourney. Women keglers place first in UB Invitational The UB woman’s bowling team continued their successful season Saturday by taking first place as the host of Buffalo’s Invitational Tournament held in Squire Lanes. Competition from Fredonia, TMi STROM SRC WIRY COMPANY, DETROIT, MICHIGAN ® l«7S Ithaca, Cornell, Oswego and Rochester Institute of Technology (R1T) was no problem for the experienced Royals, who are currently ranked sixth in the nation. The won both Royals tournaments for the A and B divisions, with the A team leading right from the start and the B team working their way up through each game to finally pull ahead to victory. Freshman Sharon Ruszczyk held the high series for the B team with a total of 768 pins, averaging 192 game. This was only third match for the Royals and coach Jane Poland feels that she is a hopeful prospect for the future. Senior Cindy Coburn, who has been bowling for Buffalo for two years, captured the high series in the A division tournament with a total of 797 pins, averaging 199 a game. Cindy hopes to turn pro at the conclusion of her collegiate career; both her mother and her sister are professional bowlers. UB gained a total of 3496 pins in Saturday’s tournament, finishing over 200 pins ahead of Cornell. Ithaca came in a close third, only 58 pins behind Cornell, followed by Oswego, RIT and Fredonia respectively. a Sharon’s Winning ways The Royals have had an excellent season, winning every tournament except last week’s at Buffalo State. According to Poland the reason for that loss was simple. “I took all new people except for Cindy and they didn’t play too well,” she disclosed. The next major tournament for UB is the Association College Union Invitational, to be held February 8-10. If they can earn a first or second place ranking, the Royals will then compete in the National Tournament where they ranked third in last year’s competition. The Royals hope to do as well as last year, and with their great bowlers, there is no reason why they can’t.

Open Mon Fri. 8:30 &00 > �sports by Carlos Vallarino Staff Writer Coaches will all agree that it takes three periods of tough skating, rugged checking and consistent goal-tending to come away victorious in a hockey game. The hockey Bulls successfully challenged that theory Saturday night winning in an abbreviated two-period game. Of course there is a logical reason for UB’s shortened victory over Cortland. The contest was called by referee Thomas Sides at the end of the second period due to a small hole (four inches in diameter) in the ice that could not be repaired, even after maintenance crews.spent over an hour working on it. The end result was that Buffalo was credited with a rapid, but perfectly legal 4-3 Royals. Coach Liz Cousins cited poor execution and too many turnovers as reasons for the Royals’ defeat, which lowered their record to 2-9. “We had too many turnovers (44), that’s the most we’ve had this year,” Cousins noted. Turnovers were the key factor in the loss, but poor inside play also hurt the Royals, who were forced to take low percentage shots. “We didn’t get a strong game from our inside people,” UB’s coach explained. We weren’t moving quick, and weren’t hitting the holes.” When the Royals were forced outside, they couldn’t hit consistently. "We’re not loaded with offensive talent,” admitted - “Bizarre!,” commented UB coach Kd Wright. “But as it stands, according to the rule book, it's an official game. Cortland is going to protest the game, though." The hole in the ice was caused by the /arnboni, which ran out of gas and failed to turn off its boiling water system while smoothing out the ice surface after the middle period. However, this happened following the repair of a damaged net (a 15-minule and the loss of interruption) consciousness, due to a severe injury, of Red Dragon player Brian Sheehy (a half hour pause) both in the opening 20 minutes of play. Sheehy, a sophomore defenseman, lay on the ice for several minutes after having suffered a back injury which doctors diagnosed as whiplash. In the play that may keep him out of action for a long while, Sheehy miraculously scored Cortland’s first goal, coming at 7:40 of the first stanza. "The draw went to him," recounted UB’s Bricn Grow. “He started cutting across toward the center lane to take the shot, and I just cut across to try and body check him. He ducked and just slipped under me. I fell right on his back, sitting on him.” three-point play the Bombers steadily pulled away. The Bombers widened their lead to 10-3 before Cousins called a time out with 14:32 left in the half. The break provided no solution, and opened up the Bombers to 17-5 advantage before the Royals could mount anything resembling a threat. Three foul shots and a steal by Marie Bell cut the gap 17-12 and induced Ithaca coach Natalie Smith to call a time out. Out of slump Buffalo led, after Sheehy's tally, 2-1, thanks to two early goals by Dennis Gruarin and Tim Igo (his sea nd in two nights). Gruarin’s came at 4:18, six seconds after Sheehy and John Gallagher (UB’s leader in penalty minutes) had been sent to the penalty box after a quick shoving bout. Skating four on four, UB’s Rich MacLean fed the puck to Gruarin at the blue line, who then blasted a shot by screened Go ahead goal < Sheehy had been carried off on a 5 stretcher, the Dragons beefed up their checking JJj game, and the physical tactics paid off for the 3-10 After team. At the 9; IS mark, they evened the score at 2-2, when Dan O’Sullivan beat UB goaltender Bill Kaminska off a face off. Buffalo regained the advantage when Cortland was caught with too many men on the ice and was sanctioned a two minute penalty. The power play provided the Bulls’ John Sucese with the chance to put his team ahead, and with a little luck, he accomplished just that. “We were passing the puck back and forth, and 1 decided to shoot,” Sucese said, describing the play. “The puck went off a guy’s shin (Cortland’s Mickey Locke) and into the net.” Sawyer scored what turned out to be the winner at 2:20 of the second (and final) period. While being held and manhandled by James Richards, Sawyer got off a soft slap shot that sneaked into the goalie Mike Nelson. Not quite two minutes had elapsed when the Nelson’s cage and gave UB a 4-2 margin. Bulls went ahead, 2-0, as Grow, the epitome of an STICK CHECKS Buffalo now has 10 wins and unselfish player, passed the puck to MacLean at the seven losses on the season. Their ECAC Division II left point. The junior defenseman then sent a hard record is 7-5, good enough for a playoff berth, if the drive toward the goal, which went in after being season were to end today.

We had defensive lapses in our end of the ice and they put the puck in.” - Wide lead Ithaca returned to the court and immediately launched into a full court press. The Bombers broke away and went to the dressing room with a 34-16 half-time lead. Buffalo came out for the second half, hoping to stop the Bombers with a 1-2-2 zone, but Ithaca continued to score. It was 44-17 before Soyka Dobush sank three in a row for the Royals. The teams traded buckets for the rest of the game. High game honors went to Dobush and Lilley of the Royals, each had 14 points. Cousins singled out Dobush and Clemens for their excellence in an otherwise poor effort. Lilley also played a good game, but she was hampered by three Ithaca players who followed her consistently. The most interesting feature of the game was the officiating. The referees were hesitant to call any personal fouls under the basket. Their solution to this was to call a jump ball whenever possible. Unfortunately they called 26 jumpballs which slowed the game - Thomas Madejski considerably. 8200 Main Street near Transit Rd. Come to The ROCKY HORROR SHOW PARTY A "DIFFERENT" KIND OF PARTY!

Students leader* at SUNY Albany have also not put out a SCATE for four years, but they too are expected to publish one shortly, according to Chairman of Albany’s Central Council, Dave Ruffo. Albany’s book, called ACT ( Appraisal of Courses and Teachers), is not considered in the tenure process, although Ruffo is opposed to that restriction. Faculty resentment of SCATE at UB has stemmed from fears that a negative evaluation might cause an instructor to be denied tenure. At Columbia University in New York City, students avail themselves of a course guide that SUNY students can only dream of. The Columbia book, put together twice a year at an annual cost of $19,800, contains ratings of nstructor, presentation, informative value, course, readings and workload, along with a detailed course description. The book earns nearly S 14.000 in advertising and sales revenue and Columbia provides the remaining $6000 as a subsidy, according to a spokesman. A volunteer staff of sixty writers and a dozen editors work year round to publish the book, which is as long as 500 pages in the fall. The Columbia guide is used as a tool in tenure decisions, the spokesman said, yet it is endorsed by the faculty arfd administration. “I think that it certainly gives the students a feeling of having some good advice on the selection of courses,” Economics Professor William Vickrey told The Spectrum. Vickrey received a feeble 2.2 rating (out of a possible 5.0) in the fall 1978 version. “It is one of the few feedbacks that one gets in terms of teaching quality,” said Vickrey, acknowledged by both students and colleagues as a brilliant economist. "This is a legitimate concern; it begins to cast doubts as to my qualifications (as an instructor)” he added. Vickrey, a tenured professor for 25 years, doesn’t think Columbia’s course guide is dangerous to non-tenured professors there. “I think rather the reverse, Vickrey asserted. The book’s evaluations could be an asset to good instructors, he said, and a corrective aide to ” | --688-0100—* Hillel 6 C.J.O. s poor ones. buying^— —scared Editor's note: This new hi-'weekly column aims to make you. the reader, a more aware consumer. Today's column reviews events of 1978 which were not in the consumers’ best interests. by Charles Haviland The ubiguitous corporate rat had another prosperious year in 1978 while the apathetic American consumer suffered a severe loss of potential power in and around the nice white home of Jimmy Carter. Last February, the intense and wealthy business lobby defeated a Congressional bill that would have consolidated 26 independent federal consumer offices into one federal consumer protection agency. The solidarity of such a department would have imposed consumer interests on the concrete fraternity between big business and government. The doomed crusade for integration of the federal consumer was led by Esther Peterson, the President’s industrious consumer affairs advisor. Peterson, who also served Nixon and F.ord, said after the bill’s defeat. “I am frightened for my country after seeing this demonstration of corporate power ...” A less obvious setback was pointed out by the Consumer Federation of America, which monitors members of Congress, their voting records and how they correlate with consumer interests. It seems that the business lobby has been quite effective. In 1975 the 57 in the House and seven in CFA labeled 64 Congressional “heroes” the Senate. In 1978, that number of “heroes” dwindled pathetically to one, Congresswoman Liz Holtzman from Brooklyn who works 16 hours days and reads the fine print of legislation hundreds of pages bureaucracy - long. While the front pages of our prestigious news media have informed us that energy and inflation should be America’s number one and two consumer concerns, these other notable events occurred last year: Two “consumer advocates” joined corporate payrolls. Bess Myerson, former city commissioner of consumer affairs and one of the most trusted and beloved citizens in the Big Apple, now works for Bristol-Myers, Citibank and Warner three corporate monstors Communications. Myerson also edited a booklet for Bristol-Myers promising that there is “no evidence that hair dyes pose a threat to public health.” Yet documented scientific studies show proof that chemicals in hair dyes cause cancer. And Virginia Knauer, who served as a special assistant for consumer affairs to Presidents Nixon and Ford, declared, “I am a in a full page ad for an insurance company. In an — - attempt to justify the situation, the company stated that it paid Knauer to “give us her consumer point of view.” The allegedly corrupt chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, S. John Byington, resigned under pressure from the Civil Service Commission. The CSC accused Byington, of misusing consultants and the promotion of unqualified applicants in 30 instances. The former Nixon staffer’s nomination was opposed by various consumer groups and the Senate rejected his confirmation. — The right wing Consumer Alert Council (CAC) opposed an environmental group’s call for the shutdown of Millstone I, a nuclear power station near New London, Connecticut, in the wake of repeated explosions. CAC leader Barbara Keating was formerly special assistant to the ultra conservative James Buckley, then a New York State senator. Said Keating after the Millstone incident, “Industry isn’t all bad.” The Nestle Company took part in a,propaganda campaign that disuaded new mothers from nursing' their young and encouraged them to use a packaged formula preparation that has since killed millions in the Third World. Church groups and other coalitions have been advocating boycotts against the Nestles’ Company. The company has publicly vowed to continue pushing the chemical formula. 1 suppose next, Nestles' will argue that their product contributes to zero - SOFT CONTACT LENSES • BAUSCH • & LOMB $95°° A. O. SOFT HYDROCURVE • population growth. The Natural Gas Deregulation bill, labled by the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) as the most inflationary, anti-consumer bill in the 95th Congress, became law. The CFA contends that the “bill creates a devastating pricing plan which could cost a household an average of $1000 a year by 1985.” Commuters know what their NFG bill does to their student budget now. The tax bill also met Congressional approval. Jack Newfield reported that the bill “backed by Carter, benefited primarily the elite. The 75,000 taxpayers with incomes above $200,000 a year will receive annual benefits averaging $13,691. The millions of taxpayers earning between $15,000 and- $20,000 will get a tax reduction of $80.” Oh, and each businessman’s lunch is still good for three martinis.

Parker who was supposed to have brought people in to examine the but nothing happened, ceilings Thompson detailed numerous contacts with University officials until Assistant to the President Ronald Stein contacted Knvironmental Health and Safety Director Robert Hunt. Stein told The Spectrum he instructed Hunt to look into the problem last t ear. Hunt could not he reached for Mews hditor Tiny, cancer-causing asbestos libers are floating unseen in the Music Department’s Baird Hall home, endangering the health of the building's occupants, the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) has revealed. About 500 students use the building’s cramped rehearsal rooms for practice periods breathing in the dangerous fiber for an average of three hours at a comment However, earlier in the week, Hunt told the ('miner Express that he had studied the material several months ago after some people asked if it was asbestos. Hunt said he had a sample of the material analyzed by the National Gypsum Company, laboratory. He told the Courier that the material is chemically sealed to prevent leakage. time NYPIRG project coordinator Frank Butterini noted that the asbestos fibers hang in the air for up to 80 hours. The material has been linked to lung cancer andL cancers of the throat, stomach, colon and rectum. The asbestos is being used as a ceiling insulator, primarily because of its acoustic and thermal capacities in the basement hallways and practice rooms in Baird. Decomposing asbestos particles flake off, linger in the air, and are ingested into a person’s lungs according to NYPIRG official Bob Franki. There are no natural bio-degradeable chemicals in the lungs,” said Franki, “so the asbestos splits into fibers and gets imbedded deeper in your lungs.” Butterini told The Spectrum *‘lf you lake a cursory look at the ceiling, you’ll see the facts speak for themselves.” NYP1RG' officials claim that besides the asbestos problem in Baird Hall, asbestos may currently exist in other on- and off-campus buildings. Said Franki, “The Baird Hall project is the first ongoing, asbestos trackdown.” Ignored warning Butterini said, “It is a serious health hazard and something should be done immediately. The University community along with the public sector should be alerted that asbestos has been found on Frequent use banned nationwide as a building material in 1973 when it was discovered that even a few microscopic particles in the lungs can cause mensothelioma an incurable cancer. NYP1RG claims that between 1956 and 1972, asbestos was used extensively in building materials for fire-proofing and for sound insulation. Baird Hall was built early in the 1960s.

Coughing spell The strangehold that the tobacco industry has over American consumers is more than amply financed. Banking off the nation’s fifth largest cash crop, the industry used its $17 billion in 1978 retail sales to support manpower all along its production line from tobacco farm families to workers in the cigarette - as well as provide revenue to cigarette manufacturing industry - vendors and government agencies on all levels. Seventeen billion can buy a lot of protection.

A quickly-called meeting of the Springer Report Task Force failed Friday to produce a consensus on Carnegie Unit as an academic base. Fhe Task Force, formed last year to handle the logistical and academic unsctt will create, was called into session tor the lirsl time Friday by Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn. Bunn told Student Association (SA) officials Friday that he would recommend to President Ketter that the Springer report be implemented next fall. The report, approved in December of 1977 by the Faculty Senate, calls for the adoption of the Carnegie Unit as an academic base. Student leaders had joined Division of Undergraduate Education Dean John Peradotto and his assistant Walter Kunz in calling for a delay in implementation. Both groups cited the massive logistical snarlings the switch woqld create, Peradotto going so far as to shun responsbility for what he called “expected chaos” if the Springer report is put into effect next fall. Ketter and most of his administration have remained unconvinced that the difficulties students. Peradotto and Kunz have cited will be erased by an extra year of planning. Bunn Friday expressed his firm desire to "get Springer out 6f" the way so that the administration could concentrate on other emerging issues.

The week-long battle to delay implementation saw DUE officials and student leaders consistently argue that there is not enough time this year to adequately study and adjust for the complexities a switch to the Carnegie Unit will create. “I think we did come up with specific things that can’t be done in the time given, such as curriculum review and advisement,” Jiusto said. “But then again it’s very difficult to come up with absolute reverse Bunn’s judgement? Schwartz said he showed a "faint glimmer of hope” that the President would see the students’ side, but conceded that “Ketter will be hard pressed to go against the recommendation of his Vice President.” But it would show true rship on his part,” Schwartz added Dopite their strong sentiments against the looming decision to implement the Carnegie Unit in the tall, both student leaders and Peradotto and Kunz have stressed that they will cooperate fully to sure a si ooth transition to the new system.

Nude modeling is extremely rigorous. Absoltue stillness is required for the practicing artists, where the tiniest motion can explode a shadow or flex a muscle. “If a model just blinks his eye, it can change the shape of the way his lashes are touching his cheeks,” asserts one Art student. This is problematic for many models whose muscles cramp after holding a nonrelaxing pose for as long as 20 minutes to a half hour.

Usually In general, however, figure drawing is not an embarrassing affair. The students are more concerned with the model’s skin than his or her bashfulness. Modeling for sculpture classes is incredibly arduous. Certain poses must be reassumed every class over a period of several months. An instructor relates a story about one model in his sculpturing class last 'summer who lost ten to fifteen pounds over the course of the class, wreaking havoc on the carefully groomed mounds of clay. Chairman of the Art department, Willard Harris, says that figure drawing has surged in popularity in recent years, stiffening to the onslaught of impersonal technology. And when the models step back into their bathrobes, how do they view the class’ renditions? Usually the responses range from caustic criticism to emphatic acceptance, according to one Art department source. U) �* I o.

We’ve had arrests after things like this before.” The speaker, who wished to remain anonymous, continued, “Our has been under attack from the government,” and stopped in mid-sentence. Pointeding to The Spectrum photographer assigned to the event, he declared, “And here is an example of how we are harassed in pub lie.” The Marxist follower in the audience explained that photos appearing in ay publication could be obtained by the government and used against the group. “We have come under attack by the state on this campus before,” he declared. “There is nothing that prevents them from going through yoor files.” organization The follower, who also wished to go unnamed, spoke of past instances of harassment: posters torn down, being ushered off campus by security guards, and “bureaucratic” rules and regulations. “We shouldn’t be discouraged by the imperialists,” he said. “These restrictions just show their insecurity.” No interest “We’re here to generate student interest in the proletariat,” explained the Marxist.

(Student No disturbance bearing” on the ultimate decision as to whether or not Diablo could by Harvey Wasserman Pacific A small News Sen’ice open SAN LUIS OBISPO decade-long battle over one of the nation’s most controversial nuclear power plants is drawing to a head. Opponents of the giant Diablo Canyon facility have dubbed it “Seabrook West,” after the New Hampshire nuclear plant that has become a symbol of nuclear power opposition. The Diablo Canyon battle has resulted in more arrests than any nuclear power fight except Seabrook, and the issues raised here run the gamut of the nuclear opposition. They include cost and safety, - earthquake hazards, public financing and the sticky legal question of whether critics should be permitted to state their case in the courts and before public agencies that regulate nuclear power. But unlike the Seabrook battle, in which the plant is far from complete, the 2,212 megawatt twin reactor here on the Pacific Coast is almost ready to fire up, awaiting only final approval of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRO. Opponents intervened soon after the project was first announced in 1966 bv the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, the second-largest private utility in the country, after New York’s Consolidated Edison. PG and E soon ran into the sorts of delays and cost overruns that have plagued projects nuclear throughout the country. A spokesperson for Squire reservations maintained that any group must receive permission from House Council to speak formally in Squire. The council is hesitant to use force to remove unauthorized speakers, however. “We tend to be fairly liberal in letting people speak; we want to accomodate everyone,” she said. Offshore fault Campus security guards were summoned by Henderson to insure order. They were not requested to force the Marxists out of the building. “The bottom line.” said Police Director Lee Griffin, “is that there were only a couple of them and most people ignored them, they weren’t creating any kind of disturbance so why bother throwing them and security. Most troublesome, however, has been the discovery in 1971 of a major offshore fault less than three miles from the plant. Two Shell Oil geologists found the fault while surveying the area for possible oil exploration. In 1973, PG and E officially informed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of the fault’s existence. In 1974, Mothers for Peace asked the Atomic Safety and Licensing out?” The group had been ejected previously from Squire Cafeteria for creating a public disturbance. “The other day,” said Griffin, “they came into the cafeteria with bull horns and flags and started to harass the people. We told them they could talk to the students without the bullhorns but then they began to shout so we threw them out.” Objections to further repression were heard when the Marxist’s posters were removed from Squire walls. Content and location of posters must be approved by the Squire House Council. According to Henderson, the group had placed a number of illegal posters on the union walls. “I took them down this morning,” he said, “since no group was sponsoring this meeting." The Marxists’ enthusiasm was not dampended. Their meeting was conducted without interruption. “We must organize the proletarian social revolution of the United States!” the speaker shouted, concluding the meeting. The legal challenges raised questions about faulty welds discovered at the facility, as well as about problems of evacuation Board (ASLB), a three-member NRC panel, to grant a stop-work order while the nature of the Hosgn Fault named after one of Meanwhile, evidence surfaced that the Hosgri fault might well be capable of producing shock waves had been far than greater accounted for in PG and E’s original construction plans, which were aimed at safeguarding against a quake of roughly 6.75 on the Richter scale. A study by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) indicated the Hosgri might well be capable of a 7.5-scale quake. Other estimates put the potential at 8, and a report issued by the California Division of Mines and Geology late last- year warned that earthquake activity in tlje area should be considered a “major hazard.” Watching closely In early December, the ASLB opened final hearings on the question. A final decision on whether the plant can open is expected in March or April, perhaps later if appeals drag on. That decision will be watched carefully throughout the country. Major reactor projects in New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Virginia and elsewhere in California, have come under legal attack because of their to earthquake faults. License approval for Diablo would almost certainly Canyon signal a new explored. - could be fully The ASLB refused the request but issued a public statement that money spent in continuing construction would have Jlno wave demonstrations and arrests, both at the site and in cities around California where anti-nuclear groups have been growing. If the plant does open, the Public Utilities California Commission will have to consider how much of the final cost will be written into the rate base, which must be paid by consumers, and how much will be charged against PG and E stockholders as penalty for the company’s misjudgements. PG and E cannot ask to charge its ratepayers for Diablo until the plant fires up. But if the switch is pulled, roughly a billion dollars in cost overruns will become the focus of a tug-of-war in utility utility The rate-settijig. commission’s decision could set for an important precedent parallel rate fights around the country. Original estimates put construction at around $350 million, but final costs are expected to reach more than four times that.

American Teachers Association News — Grades. A student’s life revolves around them, but how strong is the axis? Educators question the validity of a system whose base is being rotted away by arbitrariness, competition and inflated A hard look at grading Part I importance! X The principal upon which grading was founded is indicative of great faith in the powerful myth that grades precisely gauge intellectual capability. Yet precision seems to be an unreachable goal; confusion dominates what was meant to be a universal standard of comparison. No system is interpreted in the same way by any school, discipline, or even individual professors. “Grades can scarcely function as an academic standard,” said Education Professor Harold Ladas of Hunter College. “We grade today as if each instructor used his own foot to* establish the length of his own ruler.” * Differing philosophies and standards hallmarks of grading chaos Recitation skills Different institutions and even departments within them employ a broad standard for academic evaluation. Systems range from “blanket grading’’, whereby all students receive the same mark, to the traditional letter method. But even the traditional system breeds inequity. What initially appears clear-cut fades as each a professor emphasizes a different aspect of education. To some, the mere ability to recite facts constitutes learning achievement, while others require skill in v discussion and analysis of concepts. A few even | consider physical attendance to be a sign of effort i worthy of reward. These philosophical differences are evident in i discrepancies in the percentage of A’s and B’s among separate disciplines. If, for example, a liberal arts . faculty gives more A’s and B’s than a natural science faculty, does this mean one is easier than the other or that grading criteria are diverse? d Educator and author David Frisbie has written that grades often fail “to convey the same meaning to the recipient (student or parent) as they had for the sender (teacher).” While a B may indicate to a professor mastery of a subject, a student may see it as a qualified achievement or a threat to his .career plans. In today’s competitive educational market, a C t onced deemed “average”, is viewed as below. Many believe that B indicates an average understanding representative of a large population. Curve attacked Ladas charged that grading inevitably creates winners and losers. He said, “It places a heavy emphasis on competition in a society where competition is so heavy as to be counterproductive.” Many educators believe that herding students into groups which connote superiority, mediocrity, or failure is destined to breed tension. Students’ struggle to maintain or gain status in a category precludes a relaxed academic atmosphere. The commonly employed grading “curve”, where marks correspond proportionately to the performance of the majority, has been attacked as a chief instigator of competition. The effect of the curve dictates that grades are distributed oj) a percentage basis, effectively limiting the number of As’ and B’s available. Professor N. Ray Hiner of the University of Kansas declared that this system encourages competition by its very nature. “If a student wishes to improve his grade he must change the relationship of his work to that of other students,” he noted. Competition itself4s diluted by grade inflation the mass distribution of once hard-earned marks of distinction. In a 1975 study. The Chronicle of Higher Education showed that the percentage of A’s distributed increased from 16 percent of the total grades issued in the early 1960’s to 34 percent of those issued in the early 1970’s. Meanwhile, the percentage of C’s dipped from 37 percent to 21 percent thus devaluing the A. — — Pass-fail In an attempt to do away with the inequities of —continued on page 14— �(O editorial i E 'mondaymonday ?

V �f Wharton admits Nl Tuition hike initiated in Chancellor's office by Daniel S. Parker -V:’ uv Editor As the deadline for the submission of his executive budget drew Carey said Thursday that he “did not initiate” a proposed $100 hike in SUNY tuition. Later in the day, according to The New York Times. SUNY Chancellor Clifton K closer. Governor Hugh L. Wharton conceded that the proposed boost had actually originated from his office. Although SUNY officials had earlier suggested the plan to raise tuition originated with the Governor, Wharton after learning of Carey's comments acknowledged that the tuition rise had been a University proposal the Times said. Aides to the Governor revealed that the tuition proposal had been made by SUNY during meetings with the Governor prior to the finalization ofSUNY’s 1979-80 budgei request. SUNY has requested approximately $79 million more than last year’s $634 million in operating expenses; however tthe Times said, the final increase is expected to be less than half of Suny’s request. Although Wharton said that the tuition rise had been suggested by the university “along with a lot of other options,” his Press Officer Hugh Tuohey explained that no decisions were reached in the meetings between SUNY and State officials. Tuohey said, “Informal discussions between the State Division of the Budget (DOB) and SUNY were held, but no decisions or requests were made.” - - 340,000 affected In other words, the Chancellor in preliminary discussions with the Governor’s office discussed a tuition increase as an option relevant to discussions of SUNY’s overall budget request. The University hopes to .float at least $275 million in bonds for capital construction by next September 'he original explanation for why a tuition increase was necessary. The hike, which would affect 340,000 SUNY students would raise tuition to $850 annually for lower classmen and $1000 for juniors and — - — seniors Earlier in the day, Wharton told the Times that there was “no point in trying to fix the blame” for the proposed increase. He added, that “our budget submission did not include a tuition increase.” The Times, stated that when Carey was asked about the increase during a visit to Buffalo, he said, “You’ll have to ask the (SUNY Board of) Trustess...It was part of their budget plan..” The Trustees are the, only body authorized to raise tuition, although a proposal by Carey to the State Legislature could pressure the Board to either hike tuition or cutback existing programs. A similar tuition raise has been proposed for City University of New York (CUNY). Both State and City University officials assert that the proposed increase for CUNY originated with the State namely Carey rather than from New York City’s Board of Higher Education. DOB Budget Director Howard Miller noted the State wanted tuition at the two university systems to be the same for reasons of “equity and VOLUNTEERS URGENTLY NEEDED! — - parity.” SASU concerned Regardless of where the decision originated to propose a tuition increase, officials of the Student Association of the State University (SASU) have been gearing down to fight the proposal. SASU officials have regularly been picketing the Legislative Office Building in Albany to gain support among legislators. In addition, last week SASU organized a call-in campa gn to Budget Director Miller’s office tying up the phones for over an hour in an attempt to demonstrate student concern over the proposal. Last week, at a special meeting of the SUMY Board of Trustees, SASU officials joined other students representatives and half a dozen SUNY Presidents in protesting the hike. SASU officials were under the assumption that Wharton was porbably against the hike b but could not say so publicly because of the political delicacy needed during budget time. Wharton did, however, testify before the Trustees on the negative impact a tuitfon hike could have and even suggested that a tuition drop should be studied. UB President Robert L. Ketter blasted the hike at the same neeting, saying: “Tuition charges are high at public institutions in this state largely for the purpose of improving or maintaining the position of private education.

These contributions mainly reached those lawmakers who served on Committees with jurisdiction over public smoking programs. ‘Free enterprise’ According to a spokesman for the National Information Center Political Finance, on no one, the tobacco industry itself, knows exactly how much tobacco-related money is except perhaps annually contributed to political campaigns, although estimates put the figure in the millions of dollars. The January issue off Mother Jones contains a list of the names and home states of over 200 Congressmen who have taken money from TPPAC, The editors of Mother Jones maintain that this is only the tip of the tobacco donations iceberg. “Many contributions to Congressional campaigns are in the d i f f icult-to-trace form of donations by individual cigarette company executives,” they wrote. Tobacco Institute spokesman Walter Merriman claims that, nonetheless, the donations are perfectly legal. “TPPAC donations elect people that hold a philosophy of government that is help • 1 • equivalent to the industry," he told The Spectrum “We look for those that are pro free-enterprise and favorable towards industry in general, not necessarily only those who hold a pro-tobacco stand.” Carter’s ties The industry’s lobbying results to it’s strength in the nation’s capital.

Georgiadas cited a typical example at a September 1978 hearing held by the House sub-committee on Tobacco.

Nine other members of, Congress, all from tobacco states, were cm hand but there was no report of probing questions. “Anti-smoking groups had not been informed of the hearing ahead of time. By the hearing’s close, the Tobacco Institute was ready with a three page press release,” related Georgiadas.

Ironically. HEW Funding Director John Pinney claims he’s quite content with the S30 million allocation to the anti-smoking campaign. “To revitalize the new interest in non-smoking with any more “nothing less than sheer irony”, government subsidies to tobacco fanners totalled $35 million in 1977, in addition to the little known $123 million'in federally guaranteed loans to foreign countries for purchases of American tobacco. “The Government is the biggest partner of the* tobacco business in this country,” said Tobacco Institute President Horace Kornegay, citing the Agricultural Department’s price support program and the $6 miprice support program and the $6 billion in cigarette taxes reaped by Federalprice support program and the $6 billion in cigarette texes reaped by Federal, state and local governments as proof. Carter.” Safe future? Last year, on the same day that the American Medical Association issued a 14-year study, financed by the nation’s largent tobacco companies. Carter made a well-publicized visit to tobacco country of North Carolina. “Nobody need fear the facts about tobacco use,” Carter said. “Certainly no one need fear the emphasis on research that will make the use of tobacco in the future even more safe than it has been in the past.” According to Georgiadas, these publicized plugs for the tobacco industry are one method by which the shaky Carter Administration is keeping watch on its political base in the southern states. “Anything less than his current efforts would spell disaster come next election time,” predicted Georgiadas. This month the Surgeon General, in conjunction with Joseph Califano and the HEW, issued a 1200 page anti-smoking report, viewed by most as a 15th anniversary extension and expansion of a similar, more tempered 1964 Report became a benchmark crusade against smoking. This latest report of that the offered “overwhelming proofs that cigarette smoking is a major factor in the premature deaths of 320,000 Americans annually from lung cancer, heart disease and a host of other serious ailments. “This department has sought anew to heighten public awareness of the health risks of smoking and though the evidence is still preliminary, we are convinced that the public is responding,” said Califano in a statement to the press. The Now that you’re settled S30 million for what he termed ‘a national tragedy’,” a Washington tobacco industry, after learning of the report, immediately released its own press statement, labeling the study “more rehash than research.” The ASH criticized the report for not going far enough. Executive Director John Branzhaf termed the surgeon General’s Report “criminally deficient and misleading” and “a fitting epitaph opposing, to Secretary CaJifano’$ war on smoking.” stillborn Low budget In January, 1978, Califano had outlined a multi-faceted, $30 million attack on the smoking habit which included a $6 million educational youth campaign directed at and others especially vulnerable to smoking hazards. Skeptics of the anti—smoking campaign contended that $30 million was laughable in the faces of the tobacco industry’s own $500 million annual advertising budget. “Califano wanted only money would have been a mistake. We don’t have to match programs with the tobacco industry dollar for dollar.” Pinney told The Spectrum. “As we are able to spend more money intelligently we hope to get it.” And yet, according to Washington Star correspondent Howie Kurtz, the tobacco industry’s latest lobbying efforts on Capitol Hill are aimed at seeing that the HEW settle for far less than the proposed $30 million. “For Califano to receive any money, his request must first be approved by the House Appropriations Kurtz .. Committee,” explained. “DOe to tobacco industry lobbying, several strings were attached to the Committee’s consent, one being that not all the money could be spent on anti-sipoking campaigns.

Explaining that the increase for State University of New York (SUNY) institutions was proposed in efforts to offset a SUNY construction debt, Pinn added that there is no assurance that tuition costs would be frozen after the hike. “There exists the danger that if it is raised now, next year the Division of Budget (DOB) and the Governor will still have the debt,” she cautioned. Pinn cited figures to back her claim that the deficit argument is “a Catch-22 proposition.” Of the $16 million in added revenue from the increase, she said, over one-half would go back into the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). In addition, she warned that, according to statistics which show a two percent drop for every $100 hike, the state would lose an estimated 8000 students. Another item on the agenda involved discussion of Undergraduate Dean John Peradotto’s proposal to alter the present grading system. The stipulation in the proposed reform which spurred debate called for the shortening of completion time for “imcompletes” from two years to one semester. Finn cited the general complaint that the time limit “takes options away from students.” She explained that “incompletes”can result from extenuating circumstances that prevent a student from finishing course, work within one semester. Peradolto maintains that the present grading system is subject to easy manipulation by students and faculty. She saw the reform, however, as “more of a mechanism to push faculty and TA’s into a posture of rigid traditional grading.” Voted down was a motion expressing GSA’s support of the proposal on the condition that time exceptions for course completion are permitted. A motion which passed by 23-10-11 showed GSA against a proposed move to place undergraduate education in Health Sciences under the authority of Vice President for Health Science Carter F. Pannill until further explanation on the benefits of the actions is presented. A move of this nature was criticized by Pinn as “another wedge between the Health Sciences and the Core Disciplines (both currently under the control of the Division of Undergraduate Fducation (DUE)).” Other discussion centered on the Springer Report. Garnering little reponse, Pinn pointed out that only people going for their dissertations would be unaffected by implementation of the University requirement standard. Anticipating that additional graduate student credit hours could be necessary for degree completion, Pinn warned, “Some of us could get caught very badly.” An administrative decision is pending on when the Carnegie Unit System will be implemented. -~ Mention was made that a ten percent return on Teaching Assistant (TA) questionnaires has put GSA in a “precarious position” in negotiations for raising stipend levels.

Onyx was established in January 1978 by Thomas Robinson, the son of a Seneca Indian woman; William Sterling, a black man; and Thomas Giammaresi, a retired Buffalo Police detective. None of the men has had any previous experience in the construction business and Robinson has been employed for the last 17 years as a janitor by the county. When Robinson quit the company shortly after its formation for “personal reasons”. Onyx reformed last Feb. 12 with Sterling as president and majority stock-holder; Giammaresi as secretary-treasurer; and former boxer Richard Funerelle as vice president.

On that evening, February II. 1966. L'B overcame the "surprisingly weak" Bengal team 61-34. with Howard Braun setting a Buffalo record in the 100-yard breaststroke. Records fell once again, and so did the Bengals, when the Bulls put everything they had into Wednesday's 61-52 victory in the Bengel's den. “This was a big win,” said Bull’s coach Bill Sanford, emphasizing “big"; “It makes the season.” Jim Brenner broke his Own record in the 1000-yard freestyle, touching poolside almost one-half second better than his previous best of 10:57.9. “You never saw a team more up.” praised Sanford, “particularly Brenner, he was really psyched.” Buffalo State's Randy Snell finished behind Brenner, followed by the Bull's Asmunder Sviensson. UB's rampage began just 4:04.2 aftej the initial shot fired by *htj„, s|#rter. Mark Howard, Lopgft, Jim Siepka and Jeff Lefsteuv cqynbined to upset the Bengal 400-yeard relay team for seven fast team points. Brenner followed with his pace-setting win in the Bengal's the worth of upsetting 13 years "They thought they'd win when we won." Sanford disclosed, "that speaks for the spirit on this team." confidence. -■ Diving record Chuck Niles took another UB first in the 50-yeard free, followed by Brenner's second win of the night in the 200 individual medley. A record-shattering display by diver Mike Doran pul the Bulls on top with a temporarily safe lead, which the Bengals eventually chipped away at. Doran racked up 181.75 points in the one-meter required diving, breaking his old mark of 180.75. Doran also look tLje three-meter diving later in the meet. Lopez's 200-yard breaststroke triumph broke a string of three straight Bengal victories. Needing only a third place finish to clinch the would-be Bull win, Lopez surprised the slipping Buff State swimmers with a 2:28.4 first. In the 13 years between wins, Sanford reported, only last year’s loss was close. _”We went right down to the relay," disclosed the 30-year coaching veteran of UB’s aquamen. The Bulls didn't need the relay Wednesday night, all they needed, in the words of Sanford, was “a sweet victory.” The basketball Bulls' three game winning streak was snapped Saturday night in Loretto. Pa., as St. Francis coasted to a 67-57 win. The Bulls were lead in socring by Tony Smith with 18 and George Mendenhall with 14. Against the tough Division I team. Buffalo shot a sparkling 68 percept from the floor; but were oulrebounded 30 to 20. 5—3 victory leers defeat Genesseo State in thriller, Wilde scores again GENESEO undoubtedly what was most exciting In the game of the season. Friday night, the hockey Bulls trimmed the Geneseo State Blue Knights 5-3. with a final tally drifting into an empty net off the slick of UB captain Ed Patterson with only 04 to be played. Patterson’s insurance goal turned off the lights on the Knights, after the Geneseo team had desperately the tying score, coming close, yet hopelessly t'ailng oh-so in the end. sought With UB's 4-3 lead in dire jeopardy, and the capacity crowd cheering the locals on. it was the goal post that ultimately prevented the Knights from a tie. With only 1:40 remaining in the game. Geneseo co-captain Thomas Metzger (Buffalo, N.Y.) swooped by the Bull defense, and fired the puck by goaltender Bill Kaminsak; but his dreams of becoming a hero for one night were rudely interrupted by the hollow, muffled sound of the puck hitting the post, then bouncing away. “That was just a quick wrist shot.” was how Kaminska. the game’s number one star, described It. “And it had me beat. It was just fortunate it hit the post. The breaks were on our dies tonight.” Game puck-defense The goal post was the tangible game saver, but the Bulls' efforts on defense throughout the contest earned the win- “We were just playing tight hockey, trying to stick with the man,” said Rich MacLean. who along with Dennis Gruarin and Pete Dombrowski anchored Buffalo’s bruising checking defense. “We were pretty fired up.” admitted Dombrowski. “We were just fold to go out and take the body.” His coach. Ed Wright, literally awarded the defense with the “game puck.” “What won the game for us tonight was our ability to prevent goals,” Wright Stated aftfcr the^giiatifyidgvictory. “Our whole defensive team played well.” The offense was not all that bad, either. It was Tom Wilde’s 21st goal of the season at ; 16 second mark of the third period that gave UB a 4-2 margin. “It kind of fooled him,” said '“goal-a-game” Wilde; “Must as I went to shoot it, 1 got chopped on the right arm. The only thing that followed through was my left hand.” Other Bulls who tallied were John Sucese, Brien Grow, and Tim Igo. Igo’s score came at a crucial point. The Knights had just tied things up (2-2) with merely 43 seconds left in the middle stanza, but Igo responded with a deflection off Sucese’s shot at 19;38. thus lifting the squad’s morale going into the locker room. “It picked the guys up,” Igo asserted. “We came back out and played a good third period." Playoff hopes STICK CHECKS: Buffalo’s record is now 9—7 overall (6—5, and good for eighth place in the ECAC. last qualifying spot for the . playoffs). Wright praised Kaminska's performance. “We rely on him to play good, solid, steady goal.” Wright said. “One of his big problems is just relaxing in there. But his play has just been superb.” The coach had not-expected such a dose haltie with*be below par Knights, stating, “Geneseo surprised me. They came out and played us head to head.” This coming Wednesday the Bulls will be home (at the Tonawanda Sports Center) to face off against Union College (7:30 start), the-same school they beat, 5—4, with 9 seconds left, on Carlos Vallarino January 10. v - DISCO DANCE CLASSES AT THE RHYTHM DANCE STUDIOS 1444 Hertel Avenue — near Norwalk JOIN THE FUN instead of watching m learn THE LATEST IN THE NEW YORK, 3 COUNT AND LATIN HUSTLES. > 10 WEEKS $25 PER PERSON 5 WEEKS $15 PER PERSON ■ • CLASSES BEGIN one week following registration REGISTRATION PERIODS: February 5th to 9th or Feb. 12th i - 16th. - ■" , M PHONE 837-0390 from 2 9 pm Weekdays - DON’T DELAY REGISTER TODAY! ■ �sports •V I CO Basketball Bulls topple another by David Davidson Sports Editor SUNY Binghamton coach, John Affleck, stood at court-side prior to Friday night’s contest in Clark Hall, admiring the cozy surroundings of the basketball Bulls’ home court. Two hours later he left, wondering if it might have been just a little too quaint; following a 50—42 loss to the now 3 9 UB hoopsters. Affleck’s Colonials, reputed to be one of the smartest clubs in the SUNY Conference, found themselves suffering from frozen shooting hands in the first half, hitting a mere 22 percent from the floor. The streaking Bulls had no such problems. Center Nate Bouie picked 10 of the Bulls’ first 15 points, splitting the Binghamton defense down the middle with short-jumpers and follow-ups that moved the Bulls out to an early 10 point lead, 19-9 mid-way through the first half. Bouie’s destruction of the Colonials’ inner defense opened the lanes up for penetration by guards Tony Boston and George Mendenhall. Tony Smith demonstrated this when he-found himself Wide open off one of the Bulls' prettiest back-door plays of the year, from Mendenhall. Bouie soon cooled off, but Buffalo coach Bill Hughes inserted Mike Freeman just in time to pick up the slack. Freeman, who 10 points for the game, four points before the half-time buzzer and provided even more help off the boards for the. rebound-happy Bulls. Ahead by 15 points at the half, Buffalo out-hustled Binghamton off the scored picked up glass, 30-18. Second-half blue "It’s always hard to have a lead like that .and keep it up in the second half,” noted Hughes. A very perceptive statement; the Colonials came out on fire in the second half and gave the vocal crowd quite a scare. The crowd also gave quite a scare to Affleck. A vocal Binghamton rooter shouted a non-pnnfable obscenity to official Don Satterly, who turned around and flashed a technical foul in the direction of the Colonial bench. Affleck argued in vain while Freddie Brookins hit the foul-shot; and the Buffalo crowd just snickered. The Bulls appeared more shook up for the first 10 minutes of the second hall than the cussing Binghamton fan. Missing on 1 1 of their first 14 shots, Buffalo found its 15 point lead cut down to five when the torrid shooting of Kenmore East alumni Greg Tetter, and team hustle, turned the momentum away from UB’s five. “One bright spot,” acknowledged Hughes, “is that when they came back we could have folded. Earlier in the season we would have,” Hughes smiled and said, “We got Trounce D’Youville ourselves back in the game.” Smith, who sat down with four fouls while Binghamton caught up, popped in a short jumper and soon followed with a foul shot to rejuvenate the sinking Buffalo offense. Bouie finished the evening with 14 points and 13 rebounds scored under the basket; Boston tossed in a foul shot to up the Bulls back to a 10 bucket advantage. The Bulls held tight on defense, forcing the once surging Colonials into needless turnovers. The Bulls, usually accustomed to such problems, held fast. "We’re playing much better defense and not turning the ball over,” Hughes pointed out, “and Boston gave us a good overall game running the club.” Buffalo finished the last five m i n u tes,somewhat steadily keeping their rivals in check while padding their lead. Smith picked up a field-goal, blocked a shot and a handful of rebounds while playing with foul trouble. He also turned the ball over three times, but fortunately came back with the game in hand. “He got shaky and turned the ball over,” recalled Hughes. Smith finished with just 10 points after a lack-luster shooting night (4-12), but blocked four shots. The Bulls ended the game with the score a little closer than they might have liked. Kurt Atherton and Tetter added some thievery in two attempts by the Bulls to run the clock out, but any chance at a comeback was in vain. BULL SHOTS: Hnter the Buffalo basketball cheerleaders. —Smith TIP IN: Rich Wundar (40) of Binghamton watches in vain as UB's Mika Freeman taps home an arrant Buffalo field-goal attempt. The 6’4" junior from Maryland added this score to his 10 point effort in the Bulls 50—42 upset of the SUNY Conference Colonials. The Bulls did however drop a 57—47 decision to highly touted St. Francis of a. Buffalo is in action again tonight, hitting the road to Cortland. Co-Captains Judy Liebowitz and Cindy Halfant are confident the crew will get together. “We’re going to try,” they admitted. Mark Sacha came off the bench with one of his best performances, fighting for rebounds and diving for loose balls. The JV Bulls suffered a 76-55 setback to the Canisius Griffens JV. UB’s juniors are now 2-3. Meanwhile, the senior Bulls continued their excellence on the foul-line, hitting 20-27 free-throws. Binghamton hit a dismal 6-13. UB is the road tonight, facing the K$d Dragons of Cortland. UB Royals win by 71 Mixing a player-to-player and two-three zone defense, the basketball Royals pounced on D’Youville College early, and coasted to an easy 81-10 victory over the West Side hoopsters Thursday. In front of the quiet crowd at Clark Hall, the Royals wrapped up the game with overpowering offense and execution before D’Ybuville even lit up the scoreboard with their first basket of the night. “Rebounds controlled the score board,” boasted third year coach Liz Cousins. Co-captain Janet Lilley excelled off the glass, pulling down 16 rebounds, helped out by Marie Clemens and Soyka Dobush who each ripped down 10 boards. “Our strong players were able to learn from the bench,” explained coach Cousins, who gave her reserves extra playing time once the Royals had control of the score. High scorers in the lopsided contest were Janet Lilley, with 21, the bulk of which came in the first half; and Marie Bell, whose 18 buckets were mainly the results of run-away lay-ups. Other top scorers were Soyka Dobush who produced 15 points, and co-captain Beth Krantz with 14. Krantz also picked up five assists. Bell grabbed five steals, four of which resulted in baskets for the Royals. Helping her out with outstanding defensive hustle was junior, Maureen Quinlivan. Thursday’s victory now places UB at 2-8. The squad will face Geneseo Thursday evening at 7 p.m. in Clark Hall.

I nolograms baa discussions organized to —continued from a . . page 2 . acquaint C’FC members with new concepts in both science and the humanities. » Pure color Most of Bajcr’s talk was directed toward an explanation of the physical principles which cause a laser to exhibit its strange properties almost absolutely pure color, great brilliance, and a beam of light which will remain pencil-width over a range of miles. The word ’laser is an acronym a convenient form of its more formal title, ’light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation'. The characteristics of laser light. Bajer commented, allow the creation of a whole new kind of photography. To make a hologram, the scientist aims a laser beam at a pane of glass, which splits the beam into two smJler beams. One of these bounces off the object to be holographed and reflects onto the film, the other travels directly to the film. Instead of forming a likeness of the object, as a conventional camera does, the film records an interference pattern, a series of rings and curves which resembles a topographic map. The interference - - - pattern is a testament of the battle between the two beams of light projected on to the film, as each reinforces or cancels the other out The film is then developed by a method much like that used to fix a normal photograph. . Although the eye sees nothing in the finished product other than a tangle of distorted circles and ovals, when the hologram is exposed to the same type of laser light that created it, a three- dimensional image of the object appears. The object, in most cases, seems to be floating within the edges of the hologram. But with a background of fog, smoke, or- a movie screen, the mirage can be projected into the air, on the surface of a table, or high into the clouds. Chess closeup Bajer explained that the holographing process itself is relatively simple: there are no lenses arid no focusing distances involved, and often normal photography film can be used, albeit with larger dimensions. Some applications use film as large as four feet by five feet to record anything from a closeup of a chess set to a group portrait. The advantages of this new technology are clear. If the film is wrapped around the object to be examined, a 360 degree view of it can be recorded. If the hologram is broken or cut into smaller pieces, each piece still contains a complete image of the object. And, in the case of a hologram of several objects, the hologram can be rotated to show objects in the background. If the technique were developed for group photographs, Bajer said, the people in the back row would be almost as visible as those in front. “No one hides in a holograph,” he joked. Holography appears to have a prosperous future ahead of it. Scientists will use the hologram to record and store information, since if is possible to record many images on a single hologram. Biologists in will take holograms through microscopes to produce enlarged three-dimensional views of cells and chromosomes. The physicist may soon examine the atom close-up by using a similar method. Valuable objects jewelry, works of art will be shown and sold by holography And Bajer suggested that statues and other large works of art will be holographed to provide a permanent three-dimensional record to work from in case of damage (such as that the Pieta suffered several years ago in Italy), particular - - Within its grooves But the uses of holography will not remain only in the orbits of science, art and business. Three-dimensional movies are predicted for future years, and the audiophile can look forward to a new dimension in concert records the disc of the future will contain within its grooves both the sound and the image of the performer. revealed that high costs are the quicksand patch in the path of holography development. “Lasers cost about $100 per milliwatt, and the more powerful and clearer you want your image, the more < milliwatts you have to have," he said. - The problem of color has not yet been overcome an image illuminated by laser light has a tint to it which is nearly impossible to counteract. But Bajer sees a solution to this problem as laser — technology improves.

Grading... continued from page 5 A popular alternative to any categorized grading system is the written evaluation. Proponents of this method claim that it bypasses “pigeon holing", permitting recognition of otherwise overlooked qualities such as attitude, effort, and unique style. It is, however, argued that evaluations are susceptible to personal bias. As the role of education takes the forefront in university considerations, UB is indeed following suit. Along with General Education discussions and course credit revisions, the grading system has already emerged as yet another topic for debate. Miner referred to grading as a cultural ritual. This, he elaborated, illustrates a basic American paradox equality versus individual achievement. Our nation’s founding principle emphasizes equality yet individual talents are recognized and actively rewarded, he noted. - Next: Uli attitudes on grading.

The Board ruled it would written require only testimony. “These two men had participated in the review process from the beginning,” commented Fleischaker. “It is extremely depressing that the ASLB fails to see the need to hear all the scientific viewpoints.” An NRC appeal board is likely to hear a challenge on the ruling. Meanwhile, in Municipal Court here. Judge Robert Carter also barred testimony on behalf of critics in this case from John Gofman, a leading expert on the health effects of nuclear power and the former director of Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. - Gofman was brought to San Luis by the Abalone Alliance, twenty of whose members were standing trial for occupying the Diablo Canyon site last August 6. The ten men and ten women, who ranged in age from 19 to 71, hoped to “put nuclear power on trial” by staging a defense based on the claim that atomic energy was so dangerous it demanded drastic action. Similar defenses have been tried by nuclear opponents in numerous other states, and have been almost , _ LUCIAN C.

'On December 13, Judge Carter proved no exception, ruling that nuclear safety questions were “irrelevant” to charges of criminal trepass, and that Gofman would not be allowed to testify. “The case was taken away from the jury,” defense commented attorney Phillip Kelly. “When you exclude our ability to present the jury with facts on the dangers of nuclear power, you’ve taken away our whole defense.” Just before Christmas, the jury found the Abalone occupiers guilty, though a later poll showed they had done so reluctantly, spending hours trying to find a legal loophole for acquittal. Jury foreman Bernard Cox returned the day after delivering the verdict to appeal to Judge Carter for leniency in sentencing. “These people are not criminals,” he said. Carter, however, meted out $400 fines in addition to 90 days hard labor or two years probation. An appeal in the case seems likely. Still pending is an appeal stemming from 1977 arrests at which Diablo, in Abalone occupiers asked that their convictions be overturned because of police infiltration of their ranks. The case, which went to the California Supreme-Court on June 8, hinges on whether the presence of an undercover sheriff on the Allianbe legal committee a breech of constituted attorney-client That privilege. decision is expected soon, and may be viewed as a landmark by other political action groups wary of government infiltration.

Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn and University President Robert L. Ketter agreed late Thursday to allow the Springer Report Task Force an advisory body formed to deal with problems of implementing the Carnegie unit to meet and discuss continuing concerns over the complex logistical snarlings a fall implementation might create. Ketter will delay a final decision until the group prepares a recommendation. The Task Force, headed by Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Education Walter Kunz, will meet this implementing the Springer" Report before potential problems can be thoroughly evaluated and gauged for their effect on the student body. Kunz and Peradotto, the two men charged with smoothing the expected implementation difficulties, also recommended a delay last week after reviewing available data on departmental plans to implement the Carnegie Unit next fall. But most of the Administration remains unconvinced that implementation problems will be eased by delaying a year. “It looks to me as if the consensus in the Administration is strongly in favor of ’79,” Peradotto said. The Dean said his week-long stand in favor of the delay is “really not a factor anymore” although he pledged to provide “all the evidence we have" to the Task Force today in an effort to obtain their recommendation against a September — - , See editorial page 8 morning at 9:30.

Ketter sounding the loudest fanfare at a special meeting of the SUNY Board of Trustees the body that must ultimately approve any increase. Ignoring hints from SUNY Central to moderate his stand. Ketter ripped into the proposed hike calling it a “hidden tax” meant to maintain the -State’s - — “unique education. subsidy” delayed implementation. While student leaders worked well into the night Thursday preparing their arguments in favor of a delay. Division of Undergraduate Education Dean John Peradotto remained skeptical that Ketter and Bunn will reverse their plans to go ahead with the new system in September. SA President Karl Schwartz and Director of Student Affairs Scott Jiusto have come out strongly against Ketter condemns tuition hike work when data was made available by individual departments last week. The Task Force includes, in addition to Chairman Kunz: a representative from Bunn’s office; a rep from the Professional Staff Senate; one grad student and two undergrads (probably Jiusto and Schwartz); a rep from the Libraries; and four faculty representatives, Jiusto pledged to push hard this morning on the undergraduate Dean's urgings for a delay. “That the recommendations from a former DUE Dean and the present DUE Dean are being ignored means a lot to" me,” Jiusto said. The SA official noted that if “political considerations and the need to save face can be put aside, i think implementation could very well be only begin to private “As many of you are aware,” Ketter began, “I believe in plain speaking.” So plainly emphatic was Ketter’s stand against the hike, that it ended with the suggestion that SUNY tuition ought to be lowered. In what was by far the strongest speech by a SUNY President at the meeting, Ketter continually reviled the State’s support of private colleges, spouting statistics and enrollment horror stories between in elaboratfons on how a tuition hike would obscure the “social policy” which recognizes that public education benefits society even more than the student. Peradotto was decidedly less optimistic, stressing that many in Capen Hall view the implementation problems as inevitabilities that ought to be dealt with this year. But he remained adamant in his assertions that he would not assume responsibility for the “chaos” that may yet still result. “1 am prepared to do my best to solve any problems,” the Dean said. “But if, in the fall, anyone encounters massive chaos and comes to my office with it they will get two brusque, Anglo-Saxon monosyllables for their troubles.” the aiguments against a tuition Student including hike, Association (SA) President Karl Schwartz who strongly urged the Board of Trustees to take “a role” in resisting leadership Governor Hugh L. Carey’s staled plans to raise tuition $100 per year. The Board of Trustees have the final decision on tuition, although the Governor or the Legislature can “build in” a tuition hike when preparing the State budget. That tactic would force the Trustees to find the equivalent money somewhere else in the SUNY budget.

But before the testimony against the hike closed, several Trustees had spoken out against the hike, drawing the praise of Schwartz and other student leaders. SUNY Trustees are appointed by the Governor and thus political of the products patronage system.

Much of this equipment exceeds $15,000 in value, Wheeler estimated, with the most expensive instrument, a mass spectrometer, valued between $75,000 and Sd.S.OOO. Acheson is sometimes used as a training building for Maintenance employees, accounting partly for much after-hour traffic. “An increased number of people makes it more difficult to sort them out,” Wheeler said. Faculty members and their graduate students, she added, generally have keys to the research labs. Most machines are too heavy to steal, Wheeler noted (the spectrometer weighs almost two tons). security We're open Monday Thru Friday, II am (t$p) I I Office of Admissions t • II ill I l M I & • 5 pm Records | liiSili REGISTRATION Enforcement difficult Vandalism threatens The last day to initially register for courses is Friday.

Technical Carmen Laurendi of the Cell and Molecular Biology Department affirmed, “One person could do a lot of damage in a short time.” Laurendi described the relative ease with which a person, once inside a building, could gain access to almost any room by crawling along the ceiling panels. Hochstetter Hall on the Amherst Campus also carries expensive instruments, he said, citing an approximate $25,000 ultra-centrifuge (n one of the labs. “This building wasn’t designed with security in mind,” said Laurendi. Amherst Physical Plant Superintendent Herbert Lewis explained that keys to various rooms and labs are provided on the request of individual department chairmen. The keys are not supposed to be copied, he said, but enforcement is difficult. “We .can issue a key to a graduate student on approval of the department head,” he explained, “but we can’t control a student from making copies for his lab partners.” Maintenance personnel, of course, possess master keys to each building, Lewis continued. He explained that the practice of periodically changing locks and keys is also initiated by individual departments. This procedure is done more for convenience than security, that is, td insure that a professor can have one key for all his Specialist labs, Lewis said. Physics Department Administrative Assistant James Nadbrzuch said the Department also relies on locks and limited keys for security. But he noted, “You'can break into almost any room.” Army patrols Along with costly equipment such as lasers, Nadbrzuch said undergraduate labs contain valuable experimental setups. This past fall, he said, two scales worth about $400 each were stolen from a locked lab. The scales were bolted to lab tables. University Police Captain Jack Eggert said certain buildings on both campuses are protected by “elaborate electronic alarm systems.” Fo. security reasons, Eggert did not wish to name the protected buildings. University Police patrol both campuses daily, usually passing through each building three times nightly, Eggert explained. But, he cautioned, “it would take an army to patrol all the buildings the way we’d like.” Wheeler like to see a new system implemented whereby anyone authorized to be in buildings after hours is issued a photo identification. Presently, she said. Chemistry supplies students with little blue ID cards. Nadbrzuch informed that Physics provides its members with building authorization letters. * �■o { the pursued moves jumpy , for escape around a comer. UB Walk Service combats threat of sexual assault by Denise Stumpo Managing Editor It's cold, dark out. In solitude, a figure walks home across campus, thinking about how vacant it looks. A row of tall, blotting lights looms ahead, oddly comforting. Unexpectedly, the steps of a stranger are heard, approaching solidly, forcefully from behind. Her legs The stranger continues on his way, and begins whistling a slow, steady tune into the night. Fear of attack has haunted most women walking alone. The stranger, however harmless, is recognized as a potential violator. That’s why most women won’t walk alone at night and may change their plans in order to avoid it. The men and women staffing the UB Walk Service have a better idea. Male/female and female/female teams accompany students traveling on both the Amherst and Main Street Campuses, and to.off-campus residences in the Main Street area. Close to home Initiated last semester by the UB Anti-Rape Task Force, the program has doubled its volunteer membership and seems to have surmounted students’ initial skepticism “We got a couple of crank calls, where volunteers walked a mile to meet someone and nobody was there,” related Shaari Neretin, a Task Force coordinator. “And at first men would come up to our table in the UGL and make Utile jokes.” The service began to be taken seriously, Neretin related, after the September 24 rape near Goodyear Hall. “The volunteers just poured in,” she recalled, noting that often it takes an attack close to home before people take a hard look at the rape problem. Most of the volunteers who rushed to the aid of the service last fall were men, spurred perhaps by concerns for women they know. Female volunteers were fewer, Neretin speculated, “because most women do not feel capable of protecting each other. We’re taught to be passive and are not trained to defend ourselves.” The program’s former, UB Fscort Service, was modified specifically for that reason. -continued on 0» page 8 Two rapes reported in immediate UB area Rumors of a rapist believed responsible for as many as nine rapes in the University Heights area were dismissed as unfounded by police officials at Precinct 16 Wednesday. But police officials disclosed there have been two reported rapes in the Main Street-LaSalle Avenue area not far from the Main Street Campus since January I - The first of the attacks occurred on New Year’s Day at about 8 p.m. A young woman walking along Minnesota Avenue near Main Street was reportedly accosted from behind by a black male in his early 20’s who displayed a pistol and led her to the railroad tracks nearby where she was allegedly raped. The second attack near campus occurred January 11 at approximately 1:30 a.m. when two 18-year-old women walking near Main Street and LaSalle Avenue were picked up by two men in a car and taken to a boxcar in nearby McCarthy Park. One of the girls was allegedly raped. The second incident occurred less than 200 feet from the first. Two other rapes reported to Precinct 16 this month occurred farther from the immediate University area. The most recent, on January 21, involved a woman walking on the 2100 block of Fillmore Avenue at 4:30 a.m. After raping her once in a yard, the attacker followed the victim and raped her again half an hour later. Another rape on January 3 outside Erie Medical Center involved a 30-year-old woman. Rising fear Precinct 16 police believe that the two area rapes have triggered fear among local residents and led to the large number of rumors currently circulating throughout the community. The Spectrum has heard a wide variety of such rumors in the past two weeks but attempts to substantiate most of them have proved fruitless. Many of them appear either to have not occurred at all or are wild distortions of both the rapes of earlier this month. —continued on page 8 General Education Committee Language requirement slated late February Students would be exempt from two courses in their major Campus Editor With the pace of its study quickening, the General University-Wide Education Committee approved by a 9-8 vote a foreign language nine-month requirement Tuesday. The two semester requirement will join five other “knowledge areas” from which a new distribution system for undergraduates will emerge. According to Division of Undergraduate Education Dean John Peradotto, the proposed expected to be applied system to freshmen next fall will require students to take three courses in Literature and the Arts — — and two each in the following area, Peradotto said. For example, an Economics’ major would be exempt from the Social and Behavioral Sciences area, but would be required to choose 11 courses that filled the remaining areas. The committee also The Committee response this is to a nationwide Education movement. higher Across education, Universities are redefining their undergraduate curricula in the areas: Historical and Philosophical Studies; Physical Sciences and Technology; Life Sciences; Social and Behavioral Sciences; and face of students’ declining skills and an increasingly narrow But the system faces a number of stiff tests before it is made final; and it will be further refined by the Committee before presentation to the Faculty Senate Executive Commitfee in usually seen as a reaction against Foreign Languages. „■ r„ i. _i i;u education provided to college graduates.

Bunn also suggested that he would like to see the University’s 1979-80 budget (which will be submitted to the State Legislature by Governor Hugh L. Carey by February 1) before finalizing his revision of the academic plan. The budget, Bunn commented, will have “long term significance and could affect parts of the plan.” Bunn said he was trying to discover clusterings of concerns during his consultations and revealed that the revised plan will be clearer and the language will be sharpened before a final draft is submitted to University President Robert L. Ketter. He said, “1 want to ensure that those things which I want to convey, are conveyed with clarity.” Bunn detailed that in lieu of some of the confusion resulting from his first draft, “I need to be more specific regarding enrollment, allocation of resources, and procedures in reviewing and monitoring the plan.” Creating demand In December, SA maintained that Bunn’s heavy reliance on enrollment as the basis for future resource allocation was too restricted. SA’s original response to Bunn noted, “Academic planning must endeavor to broaden our goals and objectives rather than further limit our focus.” Wednesday, Fade told The Spectrum that Bunn’s plan is still based on FTEs, “although he may consider other things,” she said. Bunn explained that his plan is not heavily based on enrollment to the exclusion of everything else. He said, “Our budget is enrollment driven. It is a necessary factor, but it is not in itself sufficient.” Mayersohn emphasized SA’s suggestion that Bunn incorporate the University’s role in creating demand in the soon-to-be altered Academic Plan. “The University can be an active force in creating demand in departments, for courses, resources, and new opportunities,” he noted.

Nine-tenths of TV may be iunk, but it’s just like anything else (literature as well).” In fact, his new book will deal with just this subject. Tentativelv entitled, “What Was Literature,” the book will be an attempt to “end the division between OK literature and what is considered junk; the books that are kept in libraries vs. the books neople like to read.” It is unfortunate, Fiedler said, that people are taught to be ashamed of books that they like to read. Best sellers generally fall into that of junk ambiguous category literature. According to Fiedler, a circular definition of literature has evolved from a self-perpetuating institution of critics and real professors. “What’s literature?” Fiedler queried. “Real literature is defined by what’s taught the in by schools professors who are also critics.” ' Lane fields crowd harassment by Susan Kushner and Robert Basil Lane on his involvement with Bloomfield and Permindex, the speaker irritatedly replied: “Go back I’ll answer every question.” to your padded cell Lane claimed to never have heard of Division Five of the FBI and expertly left the Bloomfield question unanswered. The content of Lane’s speech ranged from the “grassy knoll” phrase in the assassination of John F. Kennedy to the “inside” story of the Jonestown Massacre, Throughout the three hours Lane dropped humorous quips here and there to keep the subject matter lighthearted. A questioner asked why, on this serious s'Dbject, Lane spoke in such a carefree way. Lane was quick to reply, “I-wasn’t joking about the seriousness, I tried to satirize and feel it is a legitimate weapon, ff the audience leaves here depressed, they won’t be in the mood to react.” For example, in response to a question on whether Jones was attempting to model Jonestown after a Marxist society, Lane replied, “Jim Jones didn’t know the difference between Karl and Groucho Marx.” — A dream turned nightmare was the major topic Joked upon by attorney, author and lecturer Mark Lane Wednesday night. The lecture “The Horror of Jonestown” played to about 200 enthusiastic persons and several representatives from the U.S. Labor Party. The latter vainly attempted to change the audience’s mood from curious to radical and demanding. Signs reading “Ask Mark Lane if he ever left Division Five of the FBI” and “Mark Lane is defending the people who at the time controlled Jonestown” were taped to the Fillmore Room walls. U.S. Labor Party representative ,Ienny Rae urged the people attending to question Lane’s involvement with Permindex, a corporation Rae said has been “traced to the assassination of John F. Kennedy and 30 assassination attempts against former president of France Charles DeGaulle.” Rae said her source was the Garrison Report, an extensive investigation headed by Assistant Attorney General James Garrison into the Permindex Corporation.

Hall: "We think someone should prove implementation is possible and won't result in massive chaos," Capen Hall to students: "We think you should prove implementation isn't possible and will result in chaos. You have one week Students to Capen We're all reasonable* people, said an administrator this week although no one was really suggesting the opposite at the time. Reason cool, unfettered by politics and undaunted by urgency is what will be called for this morning when the Springer Report Task Force sits down to decide whether to implement the Carnegie Unit this — — September. There is much irony in the current debate over the Springer report It is ironic that the four course load experiment ultimately collapsed because, among other things, implementation was hasty, poorly planned and not uniformly understood. Ironic, because there are people planning to make the same mistake with the Springer system. Ironic too is Capen Hall's demand that implementation, since it is existing policy, must be proven unfeasible before it is delayed. But that policy never met the burden of proof whenever it drifted into existence last semester. It's likely that we are all reasonable people. We think we have been reasonable in suggesting that there are too many unknowns to proceed with implementation. The facts do not generally support us. Nor do they work against us. The facts, we are confident in saying, do not exist at least not in one place. They are scattered throughout a dozen different reports on how departments are to respond to the Springer report; they are in computer programs yet to be punched out; they are in the heads of experts who have yet to confront a schedule which has yet to be formed. In place of facts, in place of knowing, there are unknowns. It is the unknowns on which students have based their push against a fall implementation. And it is on the unknowns that certain administrators have resisted. Unknowns are wispy, ever-shifting, and subjective. They will change and float like demons long after policy is set in stone. They will come back to haunt if not accounted for. We think it is reasonable to delay action when there are so many unknowns. And we think reasonable people will agree. — Kudos for Ketter We heartily commend University President Robert L. Ketter for his strong, enlightened stand against the $100 SUNY tuition hike hinted at by Governor Carey. Showing no desire to mince words, Ketter delivered the most candid speech of, any SUNY President who spoke before the Board of Trustees. He exposed the hike for what it is, opening a few eyes here to the inequities tuition holds for most taxpayers. Ketter even suggested that tuition ought to be lowered as a gesture of renewed faith in SUNY as a "people's" university. We urge other campus constituencies, including the Faculty Senate and the Professional Staff Senate, to take an equally strong stand against the blatantly unfair and potentially destructive tuition increase Health Sciences To the i.ditor In the article appearing in the December 8th Spectrum on the Health Sciences-Division of Undergraduate Education split, Dr. Pannitl is quoted as saying the new arrangement would “remove the burden of academic advisement from a heavily stressed staff in the Division of Undergraduate Education.” We would like to correct this notion as stated by Dr. Pannill. For years, there has existed an excellent relationship between the Division of Undergraduate Education and the undergraduate health sciences departments. Upon entrance to this University, all intended health science majors have been regularly advised by the Division of Undergraduate Education. Only upon admission to health sciences departments majors provided with departmental are those advisement. Health Science faculty speak with intended majors during orientation and also, at preadmission meetings held several times a year. However, the formal pre-major advisement is done in the Division of Undergraduate Education. Under the proposed plan for a total split, no change would occur in the advisement system. Health Science departments would not advise intended majors, only those admitted to the department would be advised by that faculty. Since the ratio of health science applicants to openings is about 3 to 1, the Division of Undergraduate Education is always left with a stressful situation. The only change would be the draining of our already limited civil service lines to accommodate a “no real change” in health sciences advisement. The Division of Undergraduate Education would continue to advise all intended health science majors. • All students not admitted to these departments would be referred to the Division of Undergraduate Education to discuss alternative major choices. However, a problem would occur in the advisement services for those health science students wishing to apply to schools of medicine, dentistry, veterinary or optometry medicine. podiatry, Currently, about 1$ to 30 students each year from health science departments apply for admission to and approximately 75% are professional successful in gaining admission to the professional school of their choice. If the proposed plan is adopted, these students will no longer be able to use the pre-professional advisement services offered through the Division of Undergraduate Education. Health Sciences would have to duplicate this very important service for their students or the students will be left to apply to professional schools on their own. This would greatly confuse otTr undergraduate students and the professional schools to which students make application. Our university already has a well-established pre-professional advisement program, but health science majors will not be able to take advantage of the service if the Health Sciences Faculty becomes independent. In this time of severe budget cutbacks and tremendous attrition, we cannot accept the rationale that would allow for a duplication and confusion of services when there is no logical reason for such action. It can only cause more confusion and ultimately the undergraduate students will be the losers. Josephine A.

It should state further that such a government could not and would not receive recognition by this country.

JackLevine U.S. People’s Committee on Iran Tony Roswell Park Teaching Assistants Department Editor in Chief English lax reporting. of English �dayfridayfridayfriday feedback "V « Mind over Buffalo matter To the Editor. On the CBS news, it was recently reported that executives around the country have a very dim view of Buffalo that Buffalo is one of the least likely of ail major urban areas to attract a substantial influx of new business operations. Although the disinclination of these business leaders to relocate here was attributed to poor winter weather conditions, a shrewd sagacity would compel one to look below the surface of this unfortunate indictment; for, after all, no one ever points to “poor weather” when referring to Montreal! What, then, is the upshot of this charge? I hate to say it, but 1 think these business leaders many of whom possess a multitude of international connections are trying to tell us that some fresh air is needed in Buffalo. True, our entrepreneurs still exhibit the pioneering spirit. However, perserveranee and initiative are necessary but not sufficient conditions for transacting business in terms of today’s brand of internationalism. Something more is needed and for lack of a better word, I have to call it “class.” Now, class does not just refer to the amount of assets at an entrepreneur’s disposal; rather it denotes the whole complex of manners and characteristics associated with a given group of individuals. And in Buffalo I am sad to say —• many of the leading entrepreneurs unfortunately lack the progressive cosmopolitanism which is the life-blood of multinational trade and finance. Therefore, it is not enough to put mind over matter to think positively in terms of a conservative even provincial frame of reference. No! We are not going to attract serious, large-scale economic activity into the Buffalo area until we create a progressive and dynamic quality of life amid what we already possess. We are experimenting with the development of a new university and a new community in Amherst. Why are few developers and politicians in control of it all? Why can it not be done in a democratic manner, and sold to tne rest of America as an experiment in progressive American democracy at its best?'- If we could make this a reality, first-rate scholars might once again be attracted to our university and this, in turn, would focus the eyes of the nation upon us and, moreover, impel the movement of a host of companies into the area. As for bur downtown waterfront, it might be the basis of an authentic world-trade-center, provided we can engage in joint international projects with the Canadians for, after all. the Third World represents a vast potential market for our exports, if only we can supply advantageous terms of trade. In a word, it is not enough to think positively in terms of outworn shibboleths. There is we must remember a large, vibrant world existing outside Buffalo, and unless we begin to think in terms of it, we will not be able to seize the opportunities lying before us. — - HIS BET SHOT - RCC eligibility of a course for distribution credit if that is one of the reasons for taking the course.

Control over our own bodies may seem like a basic human tight, but for women it hasn’t been, and still isn’t in many respects. Six years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court finally ruled that a woman (and her physician) should have the power to decide about bearing or not bearing a child. While this was not a total victory, it was a step for women in gaining that basic right. But a right is not a right unless one is able to exercise it. That brings us into the questions around the inclusion of abortion coverage in the Student Health Insurance Plan. We see that coverage as providing us with the choice to decide to continue or not continue a pregnancy, a choice that every woman should have. To remove this coverage would severely restrict the choices a woman has. We don’t maintain that the health plan is complete. It surely does n6t cover all the health care needs of women students, but it is a beginning. The abortion coverage, along with the maternity concerns, and to remove them coverage, are basic would jeopardize many women’s academic careers. We, of C.A.R.A.S.A. (Coalition for Abortion •Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse) of SUNYAB, recognize that again we must fight to defend the gains that we have made. We support Sub-Board 1 in continuing abortion coverage as a first step in providing adequate health coverage for women. We also urge Sub-Board I to expand the plan to include all of women’s health care needs. We urge all students who support this cause to be visible and sign our petitions, ot join us at our next meeting on Monday, January 29 at 4 p.m. at the Women’s Center, 376 Spaulding, Ellicott.

Arlene Eisk Ann Demopoulos Kitty Brown for C.A.R.A.S.A. of SUNYAB Clarifications of Reitan To the Editor: I I On Friday, 19 January 1979, The Spectrum published what is said to be the first in a series of articles; the article deait with Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics budget problems. The article included as one paragraph the sentence, “Reitan refused to speak with The Spectrum on the matter.” That statement is false. Having had experience in the past' with erroneous, if well-meant, reporting in The Spectrum, I remain anxious to assist reporters in the preparation of their stories, but require that I be able to point out errors in what is prepared for publication. Should a reporter insist on going ahead with an error, it would then at least not be because of ignorance. I write this pn\y to correct the false statement quoted above and to assure you and the readers of The Spectrum that I would be pleased to speak with representatives of The Spectrum and to assist them in bringing reliable and truthful reports to the Taut H. Reitan University community. Dean, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics Editor’s note: Just to add to the understanding of a doubtlessly sincere attempt to correct us, it should be pointed out that you refused to speak with The Spectrum unless: you were presented with a copy of the article before publication so that you could edit' it for “accuracy;” and before that procedure, you had in your possession signed letters from the Editor, in Chief and Managing Editor guaranteeing such editing rights. We have refused, as would any newspaper. Your “policy” is not only singularly extreme in this University, but is much closer to a refusal to speak with The Spectrum than it is any desire to assist our reporters in preparing accurate accounts. /. \ - - — David Slive �,-*■ • _ to i a.

Prospective walkers are screened informally by the Task Tor staff before their names are run through the University computer to insure that none have criminal records. Interviews for th e semester’s staff are currently underway; the walks will begin on Monday, February 5. The program has been minimally funded S500 from the Student Association, which provides for a phone with office supplies and publicity.

The types of services available to women at UB are more extnesive than any within the SUNY system, according to Amy Ruth Tobol an author of the pamphlet and a former Task Force coorindator “The women here are more organized and have done a lot for themselves said Tobol, explaining that some SUNY schools do not even have a birth control clinic.

The Grateful Dead, purveyors of Americana. by Vincent Bonelli (3rie more'Siturday night, one more Dead concert; but somehow things were quite different from the past shows.I have locked, or rather slurred, away in my memory. The emcee reminded us not to act like monkeys by jumping all over the seats and that smoking and drinking were taboo, but I don’t think it was really necessary. The crowd was older and more reserved than I expected. I mean every other person wasn't wearing a Grateful Dead shirt and screaming for Hot Tuna. The old maxim “dead head equals stone head” did not hold true either. The crowd was relatively straight for a Dead concert, that is. The Dead jammed a lot less this time round, causing the transitions from one song to the next to seem forced. Past shows displayed medleys where it was impossible to locate the exact changeover. In contrast, "Dark Star” into "Not Fade Away” into “Sugar Magnolia” seemed back-to-back instead of intertwined. This is not to say that I did not lose myself in the celestial jams but rather that I felt interrupted, forced to change those mental dreams. The show’s success was undoubtingly due to Bob Weir. His full, masculine voice sang out strongly on songs such as “I Need a Miracle,” "One More Saturday Night” and "New, New Minglewood Blues,” which was done in — by Andrew Ross The Grateful Dead, our beloved Terrapins of yesteryear, have eased on down to the slicker side of town, to Shakedown Street. Shakedown Street (Arista), their newest album, is a seemingly conscious effort by the group to attract a wider audience. Coming from a band that once exemplified and served as the musical raantlepiece for the counterculture, the album is another indication that time, indeed, does not stand still. As on last year’s' Terrapin Station, the Dead employ an outside producer. Lowell George of Little Feat provides this year’s hired help. In interviews, the Dead have remarked that they have chosen to use producers to help them clean up the sound and supply new ideas. Though no One would argue that Shakedown Street is not cleanly produced, the outside force seems to tame the Dead, taking the life out of potentially lively material. New instance, "Good Lovin’” and For "All verse, renamed Blues” a new (with Minglewood New Minglewood Blues”) are old standards. Once fiery rockers, the new versions lack the vocal punch of the upon the rhythm section. Keith Godchaux played his accustomed riffs on a Yamaha electric piano, while Phil Lesh provided the much needed drive, supplying the backing rhythms in "El Paso” and "Jack Straw.” Lesh then ushered in the start of “The Other One,” from one of the band's nebulous jams, which extended into a drum duet by Bill Kreutzmann and the transient Micky Hart. Kreutzmann proved the dominate drummer, leading the improvisation while Hart played the role of percussionist, punctuating the work of Kreutzmann. Their duet resembled Hart’s outside percussion work of the Digg Rhythm Band. The concert’s rhythmic climax came during “Good Loving.” Here the coordination between drummers and Lesh plus Weir’s vocals was a flashback from better days. The psychic energy emitted by the great band that used to flood the audience and float them to their feet was sat out the first seven songs go.ie. As a whole the Nebulous and rose for the eighth only to sit down again during Godchaux’s absence created a void in tfie harmonies intermission. True, the second set was stronger, but after that became very noticeable during "Estimated Profit” and the one song encore, the crowd complacently walked out “Sugar Magnolia." Had she been present, the band might instead of calling out for more. The Dead over the past few have done “France” or "Fire on the Mountain,” two of years have toured extensively and it might pay for them to the more appealing songs from Shakedown Street. take a break, let Jerry regain his strength, and if they can’t get hold of Donna, find someone to fill in. Hampered vocals caused more emphasis to be placed the old style. Weir’s howls and spooked looks were enough to excite the crowd; there seemed to be little commotion over Donna Godchaux’s absence. Weir’s slide guitar work Ph "Sugaree” was reminiscent of Lowell George, of Little Feat, who produced the band’s last album and who provided “Easy to Slip” on Weir’s solo effort, "Heaven Help the Fool.” Jerry Garcia’s usually bright voice was subdued. ( This worked well for “Stagger Lee,” “Peggy O," and "Loser,” but for the most part, Garcia was left to cap the higher notes of melodies while Weir carried much of the singing. Although Garcia’s bout with bronchitis had left him weak, it did not affect his guitar playing. Looking like a mummified warlock, with his gray striped beard and full head of hair, Garcia executed his magnificent finger calisthenics throughout the show, playing especially nice on “Sugaree.” originals. Weir’s howl is restrained, almost an attempt to save offense to a growing audience. Also, in the new recordings, Garcia’s guitar meanderings (always the strength of the Dead) are all but deleted, and in their place are poppy, lush rhythms, mixing (Weir’s) guitar, piano and percussion.' Of the new songs on the album, “France” and are reminiscient of latter-day "Stagger Lee” Garcia/Hunter tunes. "I Need A Miracle,” a tunc written by Bob Weir and lyricist Tom Barlowe, is written and performed in the tradition of “One More Saturday Night” and “Salt Lake City Blues,” two of their past songs. “If I Had The World to Give” and “From the Heart of Me,” the former sung by Garcia and the latter by Donna Godchaux, are two lavishly produced ballads and somewhat novel for the Dead. Frisco Disco Rounding out the album are “Shakedown Street,” "Serengetti” (a short percussion instrumental), and “Fire On The Mountain,” a song they have been performing for the last three years. “Fire On the Mountain” contains the album’s only moments of passion. Garcia’s vocals, although not as Strong as in the past, effectively capture the sense of desperation of the lyrics. On guitar, Garcia’s only meaningful solo is during this' song. “Shakedown Street” can aptly be labelled “Frisco Disco.” The song’s bass line is similar to the Bee Gee’s “Stayin’ Alive,” as the rhythm comes off a bit heavy-handed. Also, Garcia’s vocals clog up the works, preventing it from being what it wants to be a Disco hit. This is not a bad album, yet it suffers from the type of mediocrity endemic to the glut of overproduced albums released throughout the late ’70’s. As for the Grateful Dead, it is hard to tell what they have tried to accomplish with this album. The Dead have always been prone to experiment. Perhaps in trying to develop a new sound, it has only been coincidental that it leans toward the commercial. Live, I am sure they will continue to be one of America’s premiere bands (at least on their good flights). Unfortunately, some of their live shows have been suffering from an over-emphasis on the rhythm section, while Garcia’s under-used. Nevertheless, for the moment talents the Dead have hustled down to Shakedown Street, an .avehue worlds away from the corner at Haight and — Ashbury. �o Ruling the (air)waves What appears on your TV screen is the product of many things and people pulling in all directions. Major among these is money and the people who control it So, while everything you see on your television set cannot be explained solely in terms of capital, I would venture to say that you can’t understand anything on television unless you include money among your considerations. The behavior of television, its policies of advertising, and its adherence to quantitative rating systems indicate that money does have a primary role in TV. Television is big business; the three networks are huge corporations and they didn’t get that way by a benign interest in entertainment. Television is also a medium through which we get information and points of view. With all this money floating in it, it’s clear that the medium is translucent and not transparent. The question is how translucent An important factor in answering this question: TV is not only a business in itself; it belongs to the larger corporate community not big only sympathetically (in that what’s good for business in general is good for the business of television in particular) and not only via advertising, but in that all three belong to sprawling media conglomerates which sometimes include non-media concerns as well. many Teal pnHo'trs CO J\\pv\es-^ TRANSIT DRIVE IN TRANSIT ROAD AT MULERSRORT 62b 8636 3 Big X Rated Hits CONFESSIONS OF A PEANUT BUTTER FREAK 7:30 pm COUNTRY HOOKER 9 pm -TOY BOX 10:20 Late snow Friday 4 Sat. under 18 admitted Proof of age required opens at 6:45 pm Office Bo* No on* Free Electric Heaters Television Is big business; the three networks are huge corporations and they didn't get that way by a benign Interest In entertainment. Paramount Pictures, for instance, is owned by Gulf Western Industries which also owns many metal manufacturers, sugar corporations, paper mills, mining interests in zinc, iron, titanium, and oil; distributors of automotive replacement parts, several insurance companies, the Sherwin-Williams paint company, cigar manufacturers, Schrafft’s Candies, various publishing houses (including Simon & Schuster), Esquire magazine, Madison Square Garden, the N.Y. Knicks, the N.Y. Rangers, No-Nonsense pantyhose'products, and several race tracks. If the television networks belong to centipodal conglomerates, such as Gulf Western, one wonders to what extent the TV programs you watch are manipulated by corporate concerns. One need only think of Walter Cronkite, the most trusted man in these United States, reading you your news to realize how important it is that we find out. But this column is not the place nor am 1 the man to do it. What I’d like to do is to simply give you listings of the various pies ABC, CBS and NBC have their thumbs stuck into so as to impress upon you by facts alone the scope of this issue. (My primary source of data and the inspiration for this column is an article by James Monaco in the November, 1978 issue of Take Oae magazine.) NBC is owned by the RCA Corporation, which has revenues of 5.9 billion dollars and which, in addition to its sale of electronic items, owns several communication systems complete with satellites, along with many publishing houses (including Random House, Alfred A. Knopf, Ballatine Books and Vintage Books), the Hertz Corporation and Banquet Foods. CBS, with revenues of 2.8 billion dollars, owns numerous TV and radio stations, and is the world’s largest producer of records with many well-known artists on its label. CBS possesses a large number of book publishers among which are Holt & Rinehart, Fawcett Publications, Popular Library and the WiL Saunders Company. Field Stream, Road & Track, World Tennis, Woman's Day, Mechanix Illustrated and over fifty other magazines are all owned by CBS. In addition to these, a subsidiary, the Columbia Group, manufactures musical instruments and supplies, including Steinway Pianos, Fender guitars, Rogers organs and the April-Blackwood Music publishers. ABC, with revenues of 1.6 billion, owns many TV and radio stations and 190 movie theaters; publishes numerous magazines, including High Fidelity and Modern Photography, issues millions of albums under the ABC, Dunhill and Impulse labels. And, oddly enough, ABC also owns Word Inc., a publisher of religious books. And the list goes on. Nearly every film studio, newspaper and publishing house- is caught in a tangle of inter-corporate connections and every time you tune in, turn a page, or take a seat, you are contiguous with one of these tangles.

Outside the Centre that evening, the women marched beneath the white light marquee, tapping rhythms on kitchen pans, chanting, "Battered wives do not sing." Toronto newspeople lent their live eyes, passer-bys slowed their gait, as the WAV AW made known their stand against what they considered the trivialization of violent social behavior. More recently in Buffalo, the scene repeated itself. The Coalition Against Domestic Violence carried signs and chanted slogans protesting the appearance of Battered Wives at Harvey and Corky’s Stage One. The major contention of these organizations is that" the band, through their name and logo (a fist, bearing the imprint of lips dripping blood, a punching through heart).

In no particular order, they are; mime: a play book of silent fantasy by Kay Hamblin (Doubleday, $6.95)4 Hamblin, both a performer and teacher of mime, has titled her book aptly: the emphasis is on what to play, rather than how. Her technique is to note how you do something in reality and then simply transfer that activity to mime.. Your only limit is your imagination visualizing, feeling, believing what you are doing. Most of mime is devoted to things that you can pretend to do: pushing against a wall, climbing over it, having the wall fall on you; and the book covers the basic walks, climbs and pulls. But nowhere does Hamblin mention that mime happens to be a physically demanding art, that there is a body with muscles involved, that gravity is a limiting factor. For instance, in the profile walk, Hamblin instructs the reader to let the “arms follow the movement naturally,” meaning "make it look natural.” But the - a cSffl V[ ilBKEIII v4s Kazin began his first volume of memoirs and he cogitated upon the Holocaust, he reaffirmed his Identity as a Jew; and as his involvement In the active world of intellectual thought expanded, he grew self-centered and detached. won’t feel natural, however it may look, because the weight distribution is the opposite of what you actually do when you walk. But this criticism is not, finally, so damaging. There are only a few books available on mime technique, and these are intended for the serious or advanced student; Hamblin’s book is directed towards beginners, those who are intimidated by mime's physical communication. Both the text, which is brief and clear, and the photographs invoke a sense of the sheer pleasure of mime, that all;important first moment of acceptance that novices in any field must face. The appearance this past May of Alfred Kazin’s New York Jew (Alfred A. Knopf, $10.95), the third movement certainly Hollywood become stars. To no one’s surprise, they not only strike it big, but also fall in love, becoming the backbone of the production all within a few hours of their arrival. As the songwriter explains, “In the morning, I was just an accountant; tonight I’m writing a Broadway score.” The aspiring actress replaces drunken leading lady (who has get this broken <a leg on opening night), and receives rave reviews. Somewhere, we have all seen this before, but never has it been so funny and enjoyable. Baxters' Beauties’ score aids the film’s quick pace. It is, as 30’s musicals' were, so soapy and corny it makes you want to cry but instead, you laugh. As in all of such musicals, characters suddenly break out into song, as music appears from nowhere. The score’s- lyrics are purely happy songs bordering on inanity. They — - . - — 1. are volume in his memoirs, was a major publishing event. Kazin, noted literary critic and scholar, grand old man of letters, began his story in two earlier books, A Walker in the City and Starting Out in the Thirties, which chronicled his childhood and youth in iBrownsville, a Jewish section of Brooklyn. Both books depict, in Kazin’s wonderfully lyrical prose, his excitement as he explores life in New York City, a joyous involvement both in the sharply personal experiences of his youth and the profoundly crucial events of the years between two world wars. This third volume carries us from one moment in 1942 during which Kazin published his first book, the monumental On Native Grounds (written in his twenties!) and began work as an editor at The New Republic. As with the earlier works, New York jew skims along the surface of Kazin’s long and varied career: see little of him, less of his life, although we do meet, through his eyes, many famous men and women, and we do glimpse the great and cataclysmic events of the forties, fifties and sixties. parabolas/trajectories Just passing stars, firefly trails; here then gone.

Reading his book, I always fell as if Kazin never truly represents himself; he always portrays, always delineates the outlines of his life and work. Missing, I think, are the sources of his interest in literary history, in progressive causes; even his Jewish identity seems sudden. The details of his intimate, personal matters are not necessary; but we do deserve a clearer portrait of his public persona. has shifted; the two earlier titles imply exploration and discovery; as he approached his middle years, Kazin lost his sense of wonder. As he began his first volume of memoirs and as he cogitated upon the Holocaust, he reaffirmed his identity as a Jew; and as his involvement in the active world of intellectual thought expanded, he grew self-centered and detached. The Kazin of New York jew reminded me of Bellow’s aging, disgruntled protagonists. However entertaining, New York Jew and Kazin himself is saddening.

The Thru way, called the “greatest highway network in the world” by the State Thru way Authority, has become rough enough to rival any test track used in Detroit. In many sections, especially near the Route 400 interchange, holes between the lanes have enlarged to twenty feet in some places, bending both the tailpipes and tempers of the drivers who must use the highway each day as they enter or leave the city.

Ketter bluntly told Trustees; “Tuition charges re hi$i at public institutions in this state largely for the purpose of improving or maintaing the position of private education. Such decisions are political, not educational, not economic.” Schwartz stressed that only the Trustees are in a position to fight the hike in the Albany corridors, where the critical moves are to be made. “We know who has the power,” Schwartz said Wednesday, “They (the Trustees) have the power. And they’ve got to take a real leadership role.” Ketter asserted that tuition is, in New York State, a tax on middle-income citizens that is used to subsidize the education of upper-income residents, i.e., the private colleges. Thus, he said, a vote for the increase can only be read as “a decision for selective taxation and income redistribution.” Ketter encouraging Schwartz joining forces.with a President he has openly opposed on most student issues was encouraged by Ketter’s speech. “When he was done speaking,” Schwartz said, “we all got up and clapped.” The SA President called the hearing “upbeat, really pro-public. It has a populist flavor to it education for the people,” he said. Some new facts culled from the trip to Albany include: SUNY students took out $16 million more in loans last year, the inference being that it is getting tougher for students to makl ends meet. The difference in actual “out of pocket” expenses between the public and private average education is only $400, testimony to the expansive aid to private schools and their students. Unaided students, i.e., those who receive no financial assistance through TAP or BEOG, total 46 percent of SUNY enrollment. These students would be hit hardest by a tuition hike. — “Tent City” Washington Surplus Center — — . Students prepare for tuition hike decision “It’s too late to mass the troops and too early to fight,” said Legislative Director of the tuition-battling Student Association of the State University (SASU) Larry Schillinger. Schillinger, former chairperson of the NYP1RG chapter here, was referring to SASlTs plans to fight Governor Hugh L. Carey’s proposed $ 100 tuition increase for SUNY students. Since Carey’s proposal will not be made official until he submits his executive budget to the State Legislature by February 1, “a wait and see*” attitude is dangling before the SUNY Board of Trustees, said Schillinger. The Trustees are the only body authorized to raise tuition, although strong pressure can area. The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) accused area banks of Buffalo. “The Trustees asked for an increase of $78 million in operating expenses,” said Hugh Touhey, a spokesman for Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton. “We don’t know to what extent we will be supported. The Chancellor’s recommendations (on tuition and the rest of the SUNY budget) will depend on the details of the Governor’s budget,” he added. Trial balloon redlining certain inner city neighborhoods in And so it goes. SASU — a statewide student lobbying group along with government officials and educators are preparing their arguments on the tuition increase. Schillinger claims that the key factor will be the leadership in both houses of the Legislature. Other officials cite the Trustee’s final authority; and some even suggest that the Legislature will not approve a tuition — boost without the Trustees’ support. There is a chance although slim that the Governor will not ask for a tuition increase in his budget, noted Schillinger. He said, “There’s a chance Carey floated a trial ballon. If he did, we were very successful in shooting holes through it.” Until Carey’s proposal is confirmed, SASU and students through out the State are gearing to fight a tuition increase. Schillinger suggested, “Write your local legislator. They are very sensitive to public opinion, unlike DOB, which is not a representative branch of the government.” — — — 674 Main Street wcjkoim *MBK«n*MS*flrw—. 853-1515 ■*.> ATTENTION Graduate Students — — Money is available for Grad student research toward final Master’s or Doctoral level project.

It explains the problems Jiusto foresees if the Springer report is implemented next fall. by Scott Jiusto Student Association It is difficult to overestimate the impact that the Faculty Senate’s Springer Report and its implementation will have on life here at UB. The educational, financial, administrative and personal implications of the Springer recommendations are enormous, and careful consideration of these issues is vital if already existing deficiencies of LH are not to be aggravated beyond the breaking point. These issues are considered is that the Faculty complex, and a great deal of time Senate will in all probability be and energy is required to address adopting some form of general them meaningfully.

The prospect of going full steam ahead with a massive alteration of the undergraduate curriculum by the Fall of 1979 without serious consideration of the potential consequences of such an endeavor is frightening. One would hope that a process as disruptive as a curriculum re-evaluation would not have to occur periodically. However, failing to convene the committee which was to carefully review the possible logistical complications, and acting with extreme and unnecessary haste, is certainly the greatest guarantee that the procedure will soon have to be repeated. the face In of these considerations it seems promote implementation in Fall, 1979, rather than at a later date? It would seem that if such arguments and reasons existed, they would have surfaced before this time. Secondly, what will the real educational benefit to students be if implementation occurs without adequate foresight and planning? This question is crucial when considering the logistical problems outlined earlier. And finally, can we afford to add to and amplify the problems which already plague students at UB? Crisis proportions Reasons cited for the poor quality of student life at this University, and the corresponding high attrition rate usually involve external forces allegedly beyond our control. The State Legislature, the Governor, the Division of all become convenient objects of blame. Here we have a refreshing change . however we - generate our own problems if we so choose, we can — can or, act responsibly and address problems and concerns before they reach crisis proportions. A FINAL NOTE The 4 - course system which we currently operate within has drawn repeated criticism over the past decade. One of the oft-repeated criticisms has been that the system was implemented with little foresight and commitment to insuring integrity. educational The opportunity now exists to try again higher to try and achieve a yield on the potential which this University possesses. - Whether we avail ourselves of this opportunity or not is our own decision.

Adding an additional course (or additional class time), will compound the problem drastically unless a real effort is made to facilitate convenient class scheduling. Since the health and survival of our University is so dependent upon FTE generation, the possible effects of Springer implementation on enrollment figures must be examined closely. If implementation means more time on buses if it results in greater in confusion class if it leaves students scheduling with less library time (especially in light of our reduced library hours), and if students will need more advisement, then it is likely that if these complications are not expected and addressed, implementation of Springer will have a significantly negative impact upon UB’s attrition rate.

He was disappointed and shocked with the State Department of the U.S. government. After he escaped from the jungle and returned to the U.S. to get help for the people in the jungje who, he claimed, had also managed to escape, he found the government very uncooperative. “The State Department told the Guyanese Government to dig a trench and dump the bodies, don’t send them back to the U.S. Also the U.S. government never sent anyone to look for the American citizens lost in the jungle. And as far as I know they are dead,” said Lane. “This just underscores the accuracy for the reason why these people left for Guyana in the first place.

Lane added. “As long as people realize that their hopes and aspirations cannot be realized here, they will be looking elsewhere and it surely is possible for another Jonestown to turn up, if it already isn’t underway somewhere else.” Lane, a master of rapid-fire rhetoric, was well prepared for the several questions dealing with his pet theories on the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King and President John F.

According to Lane, the CIA was directly involved in falsely implicating Lee Harvey Oswald as Kennedy’s killer while the Warren Commission and shrouded negligently unconvincingly information in their final report.

Mayor Peradotto urges delaying of Springer report until 1980 by Daniel S. Parker and Jay Rosen shunts power study Struggle over public / private ownership “It looks as if the consensus is against delay,” Peradotto said. “If that’s what they decide I’m prepared to stand by it as long as they know I’m not going to take the responsibility for the chaos if and when it results.” The Dean said two encouraging developments came out of Monday’s meeting; both of which could make implementing Springer easier. Ketter made clear Monday that a “grandfather clause” allowing current students to escape fromlhe increased course loads that new degree requirements will create, should be uniformly applied throughout the undergraduate program. Secondly, several units in an apparent response to pressure in the press and within the Administration rushed in their fall listings to Peradotto, making his data-collecting job easier. Reaction was cool to Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) Dean John Peradotto's urgings that the long-debated Springer report be shelved until 1980 because of logistical snarlings. University President Robert L. Ketter, after receiving Peradotto’s recommendation for delay, heard Student Association (SA) Director of Student Affairs Scott Jiusfo’s warnings that the imposition of Griffin renewed by Joel DiMarco O'fv Editor Probably the single most continuous struggle in American history, outside of slavery and civil rights, has been the perpetual feud between those advocating private ownership of businesses providing public services and favoring government those ownership. And one of the major examples of this struggle, in this century, has been the battle for public power. Well, public power has now become a local issue as well, due to Buffalo Mayor Janies Griffin’s refusal to spend by the $100,000 Common Council to finance a study of a city take-over of the gas and electric utilities. Griffin maintains authorized -continued on page 2 - - n The President doubted that a year s delay would ease any of the logistical .. . w| . , . . , . sJnnV don t kiuiui know if problems. I if anything will be different in 1980, he said. \ Politics have entered But chaos is still what SA’s Jiuslo expects if Springer is implemented next fall. Jiusto said Ketter’s altitude showed slight change through the Cabinet meeting. “Some doubt was established in his mind,” the SA official explained. Hard proof will now be required to convince the right people,- Jiusto felt. “Because the issue has become a clouded one. now that politics have entered, we have to illustrate in very clear terms what a grievous mistake they are preparing to make,” he said. Pannill can afford to, remain neutral on the Springer issue since implementation is not likely to affect curricula in his division. However. Bunn’s advisors have been actively urging ./or a -fall implementation. Keller told The S/m tnnii he had not seen any of the departmental plans to comply with the Carnegie unit. But the President doubted that a year’s delay would ease any of the logistical problems. “I don’t knowif anything will be different in , 980;’ h e said " the Carnegie Unit would create chaos of unknown dimension. Jiusto and Peradotto agreed that the burden of proof was clearly placed on Monday’s supporters of the delay; a task both men conceded would be difficult. University President Robert L. Ketter instructed Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn and Vice President for Health Sciences F. Carter Pannill to prepare a recommendation by Thursday on whether to delay. The Springer report calls for the introduction of the Carnegie Unit, i.e., one credit per contact hour, as an academic base.

These questions have to be raised, examined and responded to.” - — — Monday’s front page story entitled “English Department faces faculty, pay cut*’’ contained many serious errors of fact and inference errors which have caused considerable confusion and anxiety in and — out of the department. Most serious was The Spectrum's suggestion that Dean George Levine’s plans to incorporate Evening Division courses into regular English faculty loads meant an “increase allo’cations” from the in University. This is incorrect. The plan will increase the department’s enrollment by about 230 FTE’s and thereby hike the students/faculty ratio commensurately. That ratio, currently 13:1 in English, is being pushed upward by Vice - President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn to 15:1. The new plan will raise the ratio to about 14:1 not to 25; 1 as The Spectrum claimed. We incorrectly reported that Levine Cleveland’s bankers shook their heads in disbelief last month when Mayor Dennis Kucinich refused to avoid default on SI5.5 million in loans by selling the Municipal Light & Power plant to a competing utijity. Why would Kucinich put the financial future of Cleveland in jeopardy to defend a city-owned electric company that has operated in the red since 1970? The answer goes beyond issues of dollars and cents to the heart of the mayor’s urban populist program, based largely on public control of the city’s utilities, ports and basic infrastructure. That The article suggests that Levine told the meeting that the university is facing 80 to 90 faculty cuts next year. There is again nothing certain about such figures and they may be more accurately portrayed as “worst ’ - The Spectrum the General Education program is still in the planning stages and Inskk: New UB lots?—f. 4 / SASU probes tuition hike—P. 6 / the darkness came a tiny voice; let there be light in Cleveland ’ —continued on page 2— announced the threat of 39 faculty cuts, 10 in English. Bunn has asked Levine to prepare no final determination of which areas would assume the cuts, or if they will be needed. The number 39 refers to how many faculty positions would have to be cut were Arts and Letters to increase their ratio to 15:1 and fail to increase enrollment at all. Conversely, the Faculty would have to, attract 582 additional FTE’s for it not to take any faculty cuts and reach the 15:1 mark.

Plans for -the department to increase sections of English composition are dependent on whatever General Education program emerges. They are not certain, as The Spectrum reported. Dean Levine was not present at the department's Executive Committee meeting last Monday as we reported. There were also strong objections to our characterization of the meeting as “angry.” Disappointment and dejection were in evidence, given the nature of the news, but the great majority of observers thought the meeting was generally calm. The Spectrum would like to sincerely apologize for these serious errors, especially to Dean Levine and department Chairman Gale Carrithers. We deeply regret any embarassment or dismay the unfortunate article may have caused. 'Fascination' national section—Pp. 9-11 �'Let there be £ I t ‘ «. Ui whole program will be pul to the February 27 when the voters of Cleveland will finally decide whether or not to sell “Muny Light.” mayor’s predecessor, The Republican Ralph Perk, was also a lifelong defender of Muny Light. But he changed his mind after three terms in office, and in 1976 to accept an offer of $158.5 million from the city’s privately owned utility, Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co. (CEI). Residents, however, were still divided on the issue. Kucinich was elected on a campaign to save Muny Light. Now he has chosen to make the battle for Muny a symbol of corporate opposition to city-controlled enterprise. “The city’s default is the culmination of a long-term plot by Cleveland lectric to secure a monopoly on the sale of electricity in Cleveland,” says Richard Morgan, head of the Environmental. Action Foundation’s Utility Project in Washington, D.C. Cleveland Electric vehemently denies the charge, but only through a series of written statements from CEI’s chairman of the board, Karl II. Rudolph. statement, issued The latest December 21, demanded that the mayor “stop his inane tirades. He must give up using the Muny Light issue as a straw man and (Cleveland Electric) as a whipping boy for political gain.” But Cleveland's “electric war” goes back nearly 70 years, an almost continuous battje between public utilities private and operating in the same city. To this day, CEI and Muny compete on a house-by-house basis in many parts of Cleveland, with one company offering hook-ups from the front of the property and the other from the rear at nearly the same rates. | lest • f R 2 t 3 * S {decided ■j ’ Investor-owned utilities (lOU’s) opposed the first municipal bond issue in Cleveland for city-owned power in 1911.

In a landmark decision in January, 1977. the Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensing board found CEI had committed “cutthroat practices” which were an “outrageous affront to the policies underlying the anti-trust laws.” The board asserted that CEI used anti-trust knowingly practices by refusing to sell Muny under power except on the Cleveland system aimed at winning city council approval to sell the utility. But Muny Light was part of a movement too. The populist campaigns at' the turn of the century championed municipal ownership of electric power, water, sewer service and natural gas from coal at a time when monopoly trusts often excluded small towns from service. The Progressive movement carried municipal ownership into the 1920’s, although carefully cleansed of its earlier taint of radical populism. In the I930’s, successful administrations in Milwaukee. Schenectady, and Bridgeport, Conn., campaigned on the platform of “sewer socialism” a disparaging term applied to the Socialist Parly plan in Milwaukee to build a municipal sewer system. “At the height of the publicpower movement there were nearly 4,000 systems,” says Larry Hobart. assistant Executive Director of the American Public Power Association in Washington. !);(’.

Despite lower rates for residential service, Muny began to lose customers and now serves only 20 percent of the city.

"They’re probably in no big hurry over the matter,” remarked Fahey. The city Law department, headed by city Corporation Counsel Joseph McNamara, was largely appointed by Griffin himself after his inauguration last year. However the opinion of the Law Department is by no means and any decision would have legal true to be mide by the courts. The SI00,000 feasibility study is only the first step required by state law for the municipalization of a privately owned utility. After that, such change would have to be a approved by public referendum. If the referendum passes, the utility involved would then be taken to a condemnation court where the utility’s property would be turned over to the city in exchange for what the court deems is a fair price. Fahey estimated, using the conventional court formula, that it would cost S35 million for Buffalo to buy its own gas utility and million to purchase an buy a house. “That’s just what Seattle did,” continued Bouricius, “and they were still able to provide service at a lower rate.” Both Fahey and the PPC would probably like to see the planned When the condemnation court finally made its decision, however, it awarded Niagare-Mohawk S4.5 million in exchange for its Messina property.

But Bart Bouricius of the People’s Power Coalition (PPC), by PIZZA said, “The city would never have to make such a large capital outlay all at once. It would simply sell bonds, buy the utility, then pay off the bonds over a long period of time.” The idea is similar to the average family taking out a mortgage in order to power generated by the Power Authority of the State Of New York(PASNY).

Today, The Spectrum takes a look at the Faculty of Arts and Tetters. Not in line Fish cited several reasons for the fiasco, but admitted that his own failure to gauge popularity by John H. Reiss Special to The Spectrum The Faculty of Arts and Letters and its prestigious English Department have been so riddled by recent budget reductions that their outstanding national reputations are in serious jeopardy. According to Arts and Letters 1977-78 Annual Report, the Faculty “is so beleaguered by imposed or threatened budget cuts that it cannot and will not long maintain the outstanding reputation it has earned.” The report, authored by Dean George Levine, paints a gloomy portrait for the future of Arts and Letters if its grim financial situation does not improve. 1 The report claims that the University administration is risking “massive demoralization and the flight of those who are mobile” if it continues to bolster other Faculties and Schools at the expense of Arts and Letters. It holds that the Faculty has thus far been able to enhance itself through stronger inter-disciplinary efforts, selective hiring and imaginative use of resources, but warns that further cuts could seriously hinder its efforts. Looking with consternation The threat of an increased attrition rate among professors has been one costly result of financial constraints. The nunfeer of faculty members choosing to leave Buffalo is rising, the report claims; and it attributes the growing losses to what it calls the “bleak educational future” feared as a result of future cuts. A large percentage of faculty members who received firm offers from Arts and Letters last year chose to go elsewhere, and the report “looks with consternation at a future which portends a lengthening of that list.” It states that to an increasing degree, distinguished faculty are choosing other institutions partly in order to validate their market value, but more significantly “because they feel that SUNY Buffalo cannot or will not offer them a congenial intellectual environment.” The report places the greatest portion of the blame for this increasing disenchantment on the Faculty’s shrinking budget, but also cites regional environment and other unchangeable aspects of this was major a contributor. “My estimates and the number of people that were going to concerts were not in line,” Fish said.

He explained that although six faculty members left last year,' the loss was somewhat offset by the remarkable coup of four Humanities scholars from John Hopkins University. “I don't regard this as a mass exodus,” Levine said, but he warned that attrition could get seriously worse if Arts and Letters’ budget is not strengthened. “The more we’re singled out to be cut,” he claimed, “the greater the possibility of losine faculty. As you lose faculty, you lose the capacity to maintain programs.” French, for instance, has lost 11 of its 20 Instructional Full Time Equivalents (FTE) since 1971.

Neal maintains that the two new lots will not detract from the appearance of the lawns. “In fact, I’d say they’ll add to them,” he said. “The new lots will be smaller by two or three spaces,” conceded Neal, “and I think we lose two trees.” Construction of the lots is expected to begin sometime in the spring and the rock tunneling operation is scheduled to start this summer. In a related matter, NYPIRG included in its letter to Knight a request for an express bus service linking UB’s Amherst Campus and the Buffalo State College campus on Elmwood Ave. with the light rail rapid transit line. The letter asserts that such an express bus service “would make the resources of both the University of Buffalo and Buffalo State College readily available to the students of each respective school and the community in general.” (NFTA) underground parking ramp. Front lawns Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal noted that any parking problems, forseen or otherwise, “are at least five years in the future" and is condifent that they can probably be worked out before the line starts its scheduled operations in 1984. Neal could not give a solution as to how the NFTA could do this without reneging on its commitment to not in any way mar the front lawns of the Main St. Campus. The NFTA already plans to tear up a certain portion of the lawn near Baird Hall in order to build two terraced parking lots at, a cost of $40,000. The Community quarrel A persistent major quarrel between UB and the Buffalo community has been the decision to build the new campus out in Amherst instead of choosing a site in downtown. City politicians and community leaders complain that the new campus’s Amherst location denies Buffalo residents easy access to many UB activities. Originally, the State planned to solve the problem by extending the rapid transit line all the way out to the Amherst campus, but the price tag involved forced the NFTA to confine its plans to within the city limits. NYPIRG hopes that the express bus service will also provide a solution to this problem but at a much lower cost. John Winston. Director of Community Services for the NFTA’s Metro Construction Division, has told The Spectrum that the NFTA stU.1 hopes to one day extend the rapid transit line out to the Amherst Campus but Neal said that the NFTA’s planners presently “don’t even have money for the preliminary studies.” ; Music Committee .• • • — organizations are being urged to be more thrifty, noted Volan, “1 would say the effect on UUAB programming would not be * . — 3— said that tighter controls will likely be placed on the Music Committee next year to avoid a repeat performance.

Unlike other Faculties and Schools here. Arts apd Letters has no courses required for pre-professional programs; and Levine feels that is a contributing factor to low enrollment _ Chairman of the English Department Gale Carrithers was far more critical of Bunn, claiming that the Vice President has slighted the Arts and Letters. “It appears that he either isn’t aware of the likeliest effects of his cuts,” he said, “or he isn’t concerned. But I see the cuts as almost certainly very bad for our hopes of remaining as good as we have been.” Carrithers claimed that thin budgets have led to a morale problem in the Department, a sentiment echoed by the report. He explained that the lack of secretarial support and the Faculty’s inability to meet certain expenses has been discouraging. l/B professors, for instance, scheduled to speak at the Modern Languages Association in San Francisco, have been forced to pay for part of their air fare. “We see clouds of numbers and an absence of evidence of regard for quality from Bunn,” he said. Me first Carrithers said that six years ago UB was one of the leading centers for the study of modem poetry, but that budget reductions have seriously weakened that area. It is no longer one of Buffalo’s strengths. ‘There are aspects of programs that are so thinned,” he said, “that they would be lost with the departure of one person.” Despite English’s financial woes, Carrithers said the Department still attracts top quality scholars when it has money. Budget problems have not given Buffalo the reputation of being a place to avoid. “We continued to get applications for our PhD program from splendid prospective graduate students,” he said. Thus, English is far better off than the Psychology Department, whose recruitment efforts have suffered from its location at Ridge Lea. One faculty member within Arts and Letters who asked not to be named, claimed that oart of the Faculty’s problems come from within. “I don’t have full confidence that all departments are pulling together, that everyone is making a full effort,” he said. He feels there is simply too little concern for the coirmon good and claimed that it is unfair that some “expensive” teachers within Arts and Letters should teach classes of two to three students, while areas like the Department of Management have bursting classrooms. The professor described a “me first” attitude which he claimed characterizes many faculty members in the face of severe budget battles. “In a crunch,” he said, “everyone wants to save their own neck and save things for themselves. The University and Arts and Letters must work together.” ‘Ageism’ • —continued from Volan said the Music Committee’s overspending has put Sub Board’s cash flow into severe straits.

According to mass transit experts in UB’s Civil Engineering Department, a significant number of the commuters who will be using the new rapid transit line can be expected to drive from their homes in the suburbs to the new line’s northern terminal on the Main St. Campus, where they can then take the train to their jobs downtown. In response to this problem, mass transit systems in other cities have built parking facilities to handle the extra load and avoid crowding local side streets with extra automobiles. The NFTA’s examination of the matter is in response to a letter written by Jay Halfon and Tom NOvick, Chairpersons of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) at UB and Buffalo State College respectively, to NFTA’s General Construction Manager, Kenneth Knight. The letter observed that the UB station would probably receive “a much larger volume than any other sub-station” of park-and-ride commuters and urged the “construction of an environmentally compatible parking solution” such as an English Dept.

According to local coordinator, Mark Pettitl, several housing complexes are being constructed in the county such as the Audobon site (located north of the Amherst Campus). “Residents of Audobon, a community of single family homes, have gotten together to subsidize housing on the area for less affluent senior citizens,” he said. Kramer maintains that although 'eligible senior citizens need only pay 25 percent of their monthly income to reside in the n*w complex, its isolated location may create future mobility problems. “This is where —Buchanan the workshop and its members may be helpful,” he said.

He cited the inter-disciplinary aspect of the program as an advantage because no new faculty members are required. For instance. Price noted, one of the Urban Planning courses is already taught in the Department of Economics. Albany recommended a small faculty increase (of about three), “but in our judgement we can do without it,” commented Price. Why the objections of the three independent schools? “It’s not a question of the content of the program;” Danford explained, “its a question of the market out there.” Noting that 1 private institutions also suffer the fmanicial burden of declining enrollments, he said, “They should at least voice a concern.” However, Danford added; their fears are, for the mttft part, without foundation. UB’s never department projected an enrollment of more than 15, said Price. He explained these students would be primarily drawn from the Western New York area. “We are a considerable distance from the downstate schools,” said Price. The program, which made its debut last Fall, has climbed most steps in a complex approval procedure. This University’s administration okayed the program initially. It was then passed to Albany, where the SUNY Board of Trustees gave its approval. Tire final step is approval by the Board of Regents a debated formality that has apparently confused UB officials.

'* — Magnified power Yet the industry’s voice is speaking much louder than any other. With a 1977 U.S. cigarette advertising S422 outlay million, or about S2 for everv American, the tobacco industry has established itself as one of the major advertisers on the American market scene! And since cigarette advertising was banned from the 1970, television airwaves in newspapers and magazines have reaped over S800 million from the increased volume of tobacco ads. The input of this advertising revenue into the media might explain the industry’s magnified bargaining power in discouraging publications from printing any of more vigorous coverage smoking’s dangers. According to an article on the smoking epidemic appearing in the January issue of Mother Jones, last year TV Guide carried $20 million worth of cigarette advertising; Time, $15 million and Playboy, $12 million. Parade Magazine, the Sunday newspaper supplement, obtained a whopping 80 percent of its ad revenue from tobacco companies. “Without this SASU investigating proposed tuition hike by Elena Cacavas Campus Editor SUNY’s still tenuous $100 tuition hike December 28 marked the announcement of a proposed boost in State University of New York (SUNY) tuition which would raise the fee to $8S0 per year fur freshmen and sophomores and $1,000 per year for juniors and seniors. The proposal was attributed to State efforts to “offset rising capital costs.” Administrative and legislative reaction to the proposed hike was largely negative. Firm stands against the hike were reserved, however, until the end-of-the-month release of Governor Hugh Carey’s executive budget which will determine the status of the proposal. The Student Association of the State University (SASU) claimed that the proposed increase was spurred by pressure from State banks on the Division of Budget (DOB) to convert SI SO million worth of short term SUNY notes into long term bonds during 1979-1980.

THAT BRIGHT THING? THAT'S CALLER THE saK. LEGEND HAS IT Such is the leadership in the city of Buffalo, where racism, anti-intellectualism, and political patronage have more influence on municipal government than urban planning of any kind. Griffin's refusal to spend $100,000 for a study on municipal ownership of utilities is typical of the arch-conservative, visionless stances that have tunneled this city into one of the darkest futures in urban America. The utility private system this in country and particularly in Western New York has long ago violated the a trust trust placed in it by governments and citizens three elderly with the news that last ripped to ribbons winter persons froze to death after National Fuel Gas turned off their heat. — It is becoming clearer every day that utility companies serve not the interests of their customers, but the portfolio of their stockholders as one of the most capital intensive industries around today. Until the stockholder is removed as a competitor, the citizen will never be served by private utilities. He will be used. Enter University district councilman Eguene Fahey and his idea to take a sophisticated look at municipal ownership of gas and electric utilities. The study was approved by the Common Council and stopped, semi-legally, by Jimmy Griffin. Hence Griffin has not even allowed Fahey to accept and exercise the burden of proof. Such a shielding of the status quo is nearly impossible to penetrate; is destructive to any coherent urban policy for the future; and ought not to be tolerated in a city still gasping for life. And it cannot be separated from what Jimmy Griffin represents: Buffalo love it or leave it. There are a thousand ways to kill a city; half of them doors that are never opened. In a nutshell This University has spent ten years debating the merits of the four course load, two years deciding how to rid itself of it, one year preparing to erase it and one week no more studying if the whole idea is within reason. Burden of proof is suddenly irrelevant, given these facts. — — The Spectrum Vol. 29, No. 51 Wednesday, 24 January 1979 Editor in Chief Jay Rosen Managing Editor Denise Sturnpo Business Manager Bill Finkelstein Advertising Manager Jim Sartes Art Director Rebecca Bernstein News Editor Daniel S.

I suppose there may have been individual anger but if so it was never apparent to me. The meeting as a whole proceeded with a remarkable lack of negative spirit or indeed, spirit of any sort. From my vantage point in the front row at one side, I watched colleagues address reasoned inquiries and observations to Deans Blackhurst and Levine.

Factually your reporter errs in speaking twice of greater “allocations" to the department somehow following from the shift of Millard Fillmore slots to regular department budget. The only thing greater that will follow that move will be a “greater” student faculty ratio.

The more important error, which continues from the front, page part of the article onto the second page, is a similar confusion not only of numbers but of what is with what might be. The number 582 is the number of additional FTE students the Vice President is demanding from Arts and Letters, not the number this move will give him! Putting 12 MFC English courses on-load would yield not that number but something probably less than half that number; and the university faces not the of certainty reportedly not even the likelihood faculty line cuts totalling 80 to 90 positions.

From all over the nation and even points overseas, sun-starved vacationers hit the surf beaten beaches: making jaunts to Hollywood or Disneyland. To he sure, the steep decline in the price of airline tickets over the last year has made it possible for many to get to the West Coast. But one well-heeled vacationer, who’ll be arriving at the Palm Springs estate of media multi-millionaire Waller Anneneberg soon for an extended vacation, needn't give a whit about reduced airline fares, nor docs he have to worry his head oyer hotel accommodations or any other bothersome details. You see, this man firmly believes in traveling first class, whether it’s taking a ski vacation in the Alps or making a quick exit from the land he ruled with an iron fist for three decades. The exceedingly comfortable life that this Near Eastern potentate has led up until recently in his,native Tehran is not about to be abandoned now, despite the fact that he has been chased from his throne and country by a mass movement, probably never to return. Mohammed Riza Pahlevi, the Shah of Iran, is gone for the second time in 25 years, but unlike his first departure of three days following the popular uprising of 1953 led by the venerable national figure the late Prime Minister Mossadeq this one seems permanent. For months the world watched, mouths agape, as mass demonstrations and Strikes plunged the country into near anarchy, leaving 3000 or more dead in the streets, shot down in confrontations with the Shah’s troops. But tear gas and bullets would not quell the popular insurrection. With each massacre, millions more poured into the gutter more determined than ever to topple the hated monarch from his throne. Although it has been excruciatingly slow in coming, the American news media has belatedly recognized that - - — the anti-Shah forces are not a diabolical cabal of communists, communist sympathizers and fanatics. American news accounts of the Iranian turmoil over the last year have been hopelessly naive and unobjective, a fact well documented in an incisive article by William A. Dorfman and Hhsan Ommed in the current issue of The Columbia Journalism Review. The authors point out that American reportage of the Iranian crisis was, and to a large extent still is, markedly slanted in the Shah’s favor. Torture and jailing A consistent refrain of newspaper and television accounts is that the Shah is in trouble because reactionary forces, largely the Shi’ite clergy (the majority Iranian Moslem sect) are utterly opposed to his vaunted modernization drive. Almost as an afterthought, these accounts add that the Shah’s arbitrary and despotic rule, characterized by the wide use of torture and the jailing of thousands of political prisoners, was a constant source of outrage to the people. • , * ' '-fWL — by Robbie Cohen * * ' the staff writer Charles Haviland traces chilling of the divestiture movement on college historical this campuses, context country. placing it in the population, grant social equality to women' by allowing them admission to universities and no longer requiring them to wear the ubiquitous veil of traditional Moslem societies like Saudi Arabia, and finally to initiate peasant an ambitious industrialization program that would tap Western industrial expertise. With the billions of dollars in Iranian oil renevues the Shah had grandeoise visions of making his country an advanced industrialized nation force in the world power equation. After a lull of two milleniums Persia would rise once again as a world military power armed to the teeth with highly sophisticated advanced technology weapons of largely American make. No trickle And this is exactly where the Shah’s petrodollars went to the purchase of American F-15 air superiority jet fighers, massive British Chieftain tanks, advanced troop carrying French hydrofoils and an endless shopping list of - other assorted weapons. Meanwhile, except for a small body of elite and a middle class that numbered maybe in the hundreds of thousands out of a country of 30 million, none of this new prosperity trickled down to the masses. Of course, the widespread corruption that ran rampant around the Shah, involving bribes and extortions by royal officials and high military officers that ran into many millions, was not of benefit to the average peasant either. There was a land redistribution program but by and large the lands redistributed went to industrial concerns, many of them American and members of the royal entourage. With the debacle of 1953 in mind, the Shah, with CIA help, created a ruthless secret police, SAVAK, communist, socialist that quashed all political dissent and liberal becoming the envy of totalitarian regimes the world over. lime to time, articles from Pacific News Service on national topics will appear in TASCINATION.

An active newspaper needs an active readership Consider it. JR demonstrators marching in Iranian cities. American policy regarding Iran has been one of unremitting support for the Shah. Only at the eleventh hour when the situation was hopeless did the U.S. advise the/ Shah to leave, calling for all elements to support the regency government of former opposition figure Prime Minister Shahpour Bahktiar. By that time the decision was but all made up for the embattled monarch. Considering the vital geo-political importance of Iran, American policy regarding the Shah is to be expected. The Shah upheld American interests in a strategic region, one that borders on the Soviet Union and presides over the political powder keg that is the Middle East. With the world’s largest oil producer securely in the Western camp, nations like Israel and South Africa, which up until now received most of their oil from Iran, could breathe easier. Oil shipments to South Africa and Israel have been cut off in the wake of the crippling nationwide strikes that, among other things, have reduced Iranian oil output to half the country's domestic needs. The shipments are not likely to resume when the country returns to normalcy; especially if Ayotollah Khomeni, the dominant opposition religious leader, is successful in installing his government at the helm. Most of the nation regards these ’shipments as an unconscionable outrage. Obviously American interests are in severe jeopardy. The fast moving developments have forced a major revision in the State Department Iranian stand. While we were once one thousand per cent behind the Shah, now we’ll support any non-communist regime and of course that heading includes the Ayotollah. The change in attitude is also reflected in the more, objective news reporting of the Iranian crisis, although the supposedly liberal New Republic for one feels that the Shah’s totalitarian paternalism is preferable to a government of fanatic Moslem traditionalists. - — ‘ . Weak opposition When the Shah’s modernization program is put into its larger context it becomes cleat what it actually means. When Americans read that the Shah is for modernization, they reasoned that the monarch was a progressive innovator battling against the dark forces of reaction, for American prejudice regards Eastern traditionalism with fear and suspicion;, the twin vanguards of modernization and industrialization can only come to good. The wrenching Iranian turmoil took the U.S. by surprise. CIA reports did not so much as apprise the chances of the Shah being ousted; according to the intelligence experts he was respected and loved by his people. The opposition was weak, fragmented and without a grassroots base. Subsequent events have proved how far off the mark these naive assessments were. The Shah’s opposition is broad based, a coalition of workers, peasants, religious leaders, technocrats, the middle class and even soldiers in the largely loyal army.

As in Vietnam, the American media largely went along with this sham, misleading the American people on the nature of the crisis. Now it seems the crisis is not as grave as it was only a month ago. The alarms of the installment of a pro-Soviet Iranian regime appear totally unfounded. The opposition forces are just as hostile toward the Russians as they as to American “imperialism” perhaps even more so. Now that U.S. foreign policy makers have come around to that realization, the situation horror or Iran doesn’t seem so — horrible. Right now the Shah is travelling in Egypt and Morrocco visiting friends Anwar Sadat and King Hassan. Within the next few weeks he will be visiting his best friend, the U.S. The Shah is sure to be greeted by the rancor of anti-Shah Iranian demonstrators demanding that the Shah be put on trial for State crimes.

Mounting alarm over the health hazards of radioactivity and over the extant tons of permanently lethal wastes have led to legislation barring nuclear waste disposal in seven states. New York and a dozen others are now on the verge of similar action. Labor unions, such as the United Auto Workers and International Association of Machinists have proclaimed their anti-nuclear, pro-solar energy stands. Whv? Low technology solar power is labor, intensive; whereas nuclear energy, requiring more materials, is capital intensive. The churches have for the most part also pledged to fight the jspread of nuclear technology, which more and more citizens are beginning to realize, is inextricably woven within the nuclear arms race. U.S. electric utilities, confused by the government’s oscillating energy policies and the soaring costs of constructing and maintaining safe nuclear facilities, virtually stopped buying reactors in 1978. An order for two reactors from Illinois’ Commonwealth Edison in mid-December was the first domestic business the U.S. nuclear industry had seen in <6 months. Leaps and error bounds But the nuclear industry and its closely-tied regulatory and promotional agencies, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) (both spinoffs of the defunct Atomic Energy Commission) have risen above dire predictions and anti-nuke pickets. Ever so staunch, they preach the dangers of sulphur dioxide poisoning from coal fuel and point to conclusive studies on nuclear safety. That’s why everyone was stunned last Friday when the NRC announced a withdrawal of major support for its own Reactor Safety Study. Also known as the Rasmussen studv, after its director, the report had concluded in 1975 that the probability of a serious nuclear accident (one causing 1000 or more deaths) was once in a million years as remote as that of a meteor strike. Although the NRC did not totally disavow the $3 million Rasmussen study, it did reject the layman’s summary, which it said may have left the reader with “misplaced confidence in the validity of the risk estimates and a more favorable impression of reactor risks in comparison with other risks that were warranted by the study.” The study’s bounds of error, the NRC stated Friday, have since been proven greater than previously thought constn billion govern Conflii cinche seems sembla supplie procei report; Ameri U.S. industi been g of the preside (nuclear] inustry.” Y. Chon, director of UB’s Nuclear Science and Technology Facility (reactor), feels that the NRC statement was exaggerated and sensationalized by the media. Chon had previously referred this reporter to the Rasmussen study as proof of nuclear reactor safety. Chon, a nuclear physicist, states that he still endorses the study, despite the NRC’s statement. The figures in question were based on a method known as fall-tree analysis. Chon explained, by which the probability of an event is arrived at by computing probabilities of several other events, “There is no clear cut figure,” he related. “Qualitatively, Rasmussen’s study is correct, unless the error factor is 10,000. The nuclear reactor is safe.” Speculating on what pronpted the NRC review of the study. Chon remarked, “Anti-nuclear pressure on NRC has been very heavy and I fear they have been almost excessively sensitive to such pressure.” Wan — Thumb and blanket The news made the front page of The New York Times two days in a row.

The fall semester taw virtually no anti-apartheid activity by students who were to vocal only last Spring. Why the dormancy? It appears that a lack of cohesion prompted by poor communication prevented the movement from maturing. Individual university movements were very strong at one point. Yale hosted a conference last March that attracted students from Stanford, Duke, and the University of Wisconsin. Students at the University of Michigan formed what appeared to be a movement of promising solidarity after trustees there vowed unaminously to resist divestiture demands. The uprisings at Berkeley and Stanford received no press attention. The New York Times failed to cover the Columbia demonstration allegedly due to the newspaper’s ties with the Board Trustees. The media s failure to adequately cover important developments like the student anti-apartheid movement brings to mind the scant media attention paid to last year’s revelation that the U.S. was training Idi Amin’s air force in Texas. ng m ooks — Wrong issues addressed Some critics feel that students are missing the point by addressing the wrong issue. Alexander Cockburn and James Ridgeway of the Village Voice recommend a push for mandatory economic sanctions against South Africa of which an oil embargo would be a major component. “It has always been recognized by opponents of South Africa’s white minority regime that an oil embargo lies at the heart of any successful program,” they wrote. Bernard Rivers and Martin Bailey co-authored a study that concluded that “an oil embargo would have an enormously disruptive effect on South Africa. If all of oil supplies were cut off, the Republic would probably not be able to survive for more than two years. The economy would grind to a halt...” “Sanctions, far more than calls for divestment or loan and trade boycotts, Cockbum and Ridgeway concluded, “wwould spell disaster for South Africa, and this is what all foes of the South African slave state should press for.” It will be interesting to see what the new academic semester will bring. old 2nd Books sold from Jan. 29th till Feb. 7th Pick up unsold books S checks Feb 8 and Feb 9th . - .

The Act required 10 negotiations and initiatives, established five procedures, declared three regulations and specified eight analyses and reports. One major stipulation is that the rich uranium fuel used in American reactors purchased by other nations must be supplied by the U.S. and returned to this country when spent. However, due to the near-nonexistant doirestic market, the industry has made a push for reactor sales abroad, the government has been granting several exceptions to its new rules, unsurprising in light of the fact that U.S. Energy Secretary James Schlesinger is a past president of the Atomic Energy Commission. For example, the Administration has allowed Japan to drop its American-reactor wastes in England, where they will be reprocessed. Yet supposedly the entire point of legislating the return of the spent wastes is to insure that the reprocessing by-product, plutonium, will not be diverted for use in making bombs.

Chicago Sun-Times reporter Robert Vanderpool argues. “An honest examination can only conclude that zoo life does such violence to the captive animal's nature that the zoo simply cannot justify its exislance." In Buffalo, zoo keepers have charged management with neglect of animals. The criticism is nothing new groups have Humanitarian protested what they consider animal exploutalion since the inception of the traveling zoos and private menageries of the last century With the surge of interest in ecology in the late sixties, growing numbers of people have the anti-zoo jumped on bandwagon Criticisms range from naturalistic settings delineated by impassable moats or trenchs predominate in modern zoos.

But what benefit, if any, do animals derive from zoos? Despite charges by' those concerned with animal extinction that zoos upset the “balance of nature,” most zoos actually foster survival of conservation. As thegrows more dwindling spieces tenuous in the wild, zoos provide for environment a secure breeding. Some animals, such as Pere David’s Deer, survive only in Petting zoos These changes have caused some problems, however. A desire to see the animals “close-up” is harder to accommodate as the animal's living space expands. The loss of visual intimatacy is partly compensated for by children’s or petting and feeding zoos. Earlier methods of cataloguing animals are not readily adaptable to the new environs. At one time, animals were grouped according — - to physical similarities, the feline house, the bird sanctuary and the ever popular reptile house. These captivity. The need to breed threatened animals has \inspired discoveries regarding mating behavior. Only in the last twenty years have the cheetah and the lowland gorilla been successfully bred. Cheetahs refuse to mate unless they are initially separated. Zoo keepers have learned that when the female acts submissive, she will respond if introduced to a male. Trade restrictions Similiar success has been achieved with other animals. Female polar bears would crush or stripping of animals by removing them from their natural domains to actual neglect or abuse on the part of zoo officials. The accusations were often justifiable in the past, and, in some cases, arc still justified today. In the 1800’s, as American and European cities became ever more crowded and industrialized. increasingly became people the dignity fascinated by animals. Wealthy aristocrats collected animals as a faddish pastime. The public was willing to pay for a glimpse of exotic creatures from far-a-way places. To supply the demand for creatures, enterprising these profiteers imported animals from Africa and remote areas in Asia. The animals traveled from city to city in small, portable cages while charged eager their captors customers a few pennies to see them. Infectious sicknesses But the animals seldom survived more than a few months. Changes in climate and feeding habits look their toll.

Now, the spacial and aesthetic advantages of fewer s pieces are widely recognized.

Zoo directors assert the need to freely import threatened animals for breeding purposes and seek a loosening of trade restrictions. Of course, all animal care and ultimately improvements depend on funding. Prices of many animals tripled in the last ten years, while municipal funding zoo shrank. Zoos once supported by cities have been forced to rely more on gate fees. Most employ a combination of gate fees and city dollars. Zoological societies and private contributions provide needed revenue to zoos. To sustain this valuable source of funds, many zoos, sponsor “adopt-an-animal” programs. The “parent’s” name is engraved on a plaque at the display of his animal; and he in trun pays a fixed annual fee towards its support. Fees ranging from about $30 for small reptiles to almost $2,000 for sea lions are used to feed the animals. �V v •o Keepers’ clamor I NYPIRG recruitment Buffalo zoo denies allegations concerning neglect of animals by Kathy McDonough Board of flurry of nfanagement/ keeper disagreements on animal and unsafe working neglect conditions has recently beset the Buffalo Zoological Gardens. While keepers outline alleged animal abuses and meager working provisions, zoo officials point to passed inspections, arguing that the charges stem from poor labor relations. The controversy climaxed in December when the Zoological of Directors Society’s Board A received was keepers, Campus editor a six-page unsigned letter mistreatment of Zoo animals. The letter specifically attacked Zoo Director J. Thomas for alleged Whitman mismanagement. Shortly thereafter, Zoo curators signed a statement refuting the charges and defending Whitman. A counter letter, signed by 19 detailing sent to the Zoo Directors, State and local politicians,,and the Buffalo media. This letter, challenging Whitman to a debate, is the most recent development in the complex controversy. According to Whitman, the current dispute is not unique. “If yoq look through the records,” he said, “you’ll see that similar claims have arisen about every three or four years.” He noted that the zoo has passed regular inspections by government agencies. Inadequate care Despite this, keepers have voiced objections to conditions at the Zoo, charging that some animals receive inadequate care'. Jerry Kerjdall, spokesman for the animal keepers, expressed concern for the tapirs, a nocturnal animal related to the horse. Drains in the cages are- backed up, he creating unsanitary said, conditions and resulting in animal illness. Kendall claims that despite management has not repaired the drains. The keeper is also concerned about the rhinos, who are housed in cramped quarters without water bowls, he said. Water is brought into the cages at various times during the day, but is not available to the animals at all warnings, times. Whitman countered that rhinos are known to do well in close quarters. He explained that the rhinos would merely defecate in their drinking water if it were constantly kept in the cages. According to Whitman, the rhino debate exemplifies the keepers’ ignorance of some aspects of animal care. “They just don’t have the proper knowledge,” he said. is Overcrowding another concern expressed by the keepers —continued on page 14— Lockwood sponsors 'Doc Clinics' The Government Documents Department of Lockwood Library will sponsor five two-hour “Doc Clinics" during the weeks of February 13 and 19.

Tire intent of the meeting is to introduce both new students and pasi NYPIRG members to upcoming plans and projects and to share ideas and suggestions for future work. In conjunction, the statewide research arid advocacy group is sponsoring a NYPIRG Day today in the Squire Hall center lounge that will include exhibits and information on current projects and current urban and environmental issues. Exhibits will focus on Love Canal, auto insurance rates, eiTergy conservation and alternatives, vegetarian and health foods and others. This semester, students will be able to receive course credit for working on a NYPIRG project. Projects will focus on such issues as toxic wastes, asbestos trackdown, health and nutrition, and urban research. For instance, the asbestos project will focus on pinpointing campus locations insulated with asbestos and work with the administration to eliminate it. NYPIRG hopes to influence legislation in key areas affecting students, specifically standardized testing and auto-insurance rales. The main goals of these projects will be to organize grass-roots campus and community support to pass legislation in these areas. Past legislative accomplishments include the decriminalization of marijuana, a generic drug law and the use of understandable language in legal contracts. Students will organize campus and community support, work with the media, meet with legislators and administrators and receive first hand experience in the legal and legislative process. NYPIRG chairperson Jay Halfon stated, “Working on a NYPIRG project offers tremendous potential. Our (students’) work affects the lives of million of people across the state.

Though a Federal Inter-Agency Review Group (IRG) has stated that the nuclear waste problem is “manageable,” last year the timetable for the first permanent disposal of nuclear wastes slipped from 1985 to 1992. “The issue of nuclear waste should have been taken more seriously 20 years ago,” remarked Chon. At that time nuclear energy was in its infancy and was heralded as the salvation of America’s surging energy demands. “No concrete policy was made,” recalled Chon. “It was taken for granted that the issue could be easily solved.” However, the common and highly quoted belief that no safe, permanent disposal technology currently exists is not valid, according to Chon. “There are several very viable options for wast disposal,” he said. “Their feasibility has never been questioned,” The best method of permanent waste disposal, in Chon’s opinion, is that in which the nuclear fission products are separated and vitrified, or glassified.

SASU also took part in organization of the State-Wide Coalition Against Tuition Hike, an alliance of various New York State labor, corrmunity, religious and educational organizations. Yesterday’s meeting between three SUNY student Officials and the SUNY Board of Trustees (with whomthe final acceptance or rejection of the proposal lies) was arranged through SASU President Steve Allinger.

Strong student opposition While student representatives who flew to AlbanyT6f the meeting yesterday were taking the risk of finding themselves simply exchanging platitudes, thp Trustees’ invitation was a show of good faith Allinger said they originally feared a demonstration and allowed s6me exchange of ideas. SASU was able, at least, to present the Board with an idea of the student support it has mustered against the move. According to UB Student Association President Karl Schwartz who represented this University the meeting allowed student representatives the opportunity to put forth the arguments “to assure the Trustees and the Chancellor that students are very together in their sentiments toward this issue.” SASU expects the Executive Budget to be out by February 1. It is pushing, however, to have any proposal of a tuition hike removed before then. “If not,” according to SASU Communications Director Libby Post, “we want it out of the supplemental budget.” - PHOTOCOPYING 8c per copy NO JOB TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL! - THE SpECTI\UM Friday thru Monday Spyro Gyra THE COMMUTER COUNCIL Tralfamadore Cafe Main at Fillmore 836-9678 - Whitman explained, 13 keepers fall under the jurisdiction of the city’s Parks Department while others are' employed by the workers, City to Whitman, average $2000 per year more,than Society Society.

He explained, “If we know at the beginning of one semester the books to be used for the following one, then there- is more opportunity to buy used books from the students.

He maintained that he had attempted to work this out when FSA was running the store, and had run into a number of problems. “Many times the courses the teachers instruct are not made known to them until just before the start of the —Korotkin semester,” he said.

Terry Bradshaw put on a show that made Barnum and Bailey’s showcase look amateurish. Certainly the match had its ups and its downs. — Weren't you fust glad to see Thomas Henderson all but literally eat his words. For weeks, the over-rated outside linebacker of the Cowboys has been getting away with some of the most insulting garbage ever to come flying out of a professional althlete’s mouth.Tt worked against Los Angeles, but Pittsburgh had a little too much “class”. What made Super Bowl Xlfl grand was seeing number 56 get his head partially decapitated by the Pittsburgh punting team. After Jack Lambert (comparing his looks to Dracula), it was amusing to watch the Penn State grab a few Dallas runners before they knew they were even carrying the ball. Weren't you disappointed to see Roger Staubach suffer the fate of being a member of the losing team. At age 37, the “Dodger” still moves like a teenager; and has the arm of an M-16 rifle. Didn't you just hate Curt Gowdy’s ranting and raving over given the Cowboys four more points. The score might not have been Jackie Smith dropping a sure touchdown pass that would have given the Cowboy* four more points. The score might not have 1ieen afternoon hero. If Furness had remembered the lessons of his high school coach, he’d hflve dived on Roger Staubach’s fumble instead Craig Nettles short-hop of *tjeflhpting to make pick-up en route to a score. Incidentally, Smith fell down just before the ball reached him, making it very difficult for him to get his usually sure hands on 4 thebalH# 5 Gowdy after he reiterated on the Smith point for the hundredth time in five minutes. Olsen reminded the announcer, who-should have been put out to pasture long ago, that Smith has had a glorious 18 year career in the National Football League. Give Olsen credit not only for that particular insight, but for sitting for over three hours listening to the intoxicated jibberish of Gowdy and steady side-kick John Brodie. Brodie, who is NBC’s answer to Dandy Don Meredith, made even less sense than the senile Gowdy. Bring on Brookshier and Summerall. Aside from Olsen being the only sensible narrator, didn’t you just love the acrobatics of the Stallworth-Swann duo. Dallas receivers Drew Pearson and Tony Hill are at least better than average, but having Lynn Swann and John Stallworth flanking the line and leaping into the clouds to flag down Bradshaw’s bullets was purely poetic. By the way, Gowdy, would it have mattered whether oj not Smith grabbed that pass if-Stallworth played the second half. Weren't you a bit tired of a million and one hours of pre-game commentary, background and over all nonsense. If that wasn’t enough, following the event, three network movies featured story lines based on football. ’’Paper Lion,” documenting the story by George Plimpton was by far the most enjoyable, but since it was aired 10 hours after all the pre-game festivities began, who could stand the sight of a helmet and shoulder pads. How could you be tired of what took place 4;20-8 p.m. the game itself. With the down,in order to tune out Gowdy volume and company, Super Bowl XIII was an explosion of offense. Next year.

Jan. 24th at 8 pm Fillmore Room — a —F loss STRETCHING: Buffalo State' Jeanne Orr (rebounding) and Mary Lou Procakwwicz are in ,a perfect position to rip down a rebound over Royal* Jannet Lilley (background). Orr iced the game with a final minute battket to put the Bangalattes up by four points after battling back to tie K at 53—S3. Hopes go up in smoke as Royals lose close one Perhaps a box of cigars appearing on the bench of the basketball Royals might put an end to their woeful season. Jhe Royals did make it close, bowing 57—55 to Buffalo State but it was still no cigar for the now 1-8 Royals. Ten minutes into the game, it looked like UB might be in for a Bengal burning while Buffalo State slowly pulled ahead-by five. But Janet Lilley kept the game within reach for the Royal squad with her offensive rebounding and three consecutive buckets from underneath. Her baskets brought UB within one at the six minute mark, but Buffalo State pulled away again at halftime 35—29. It was not until the second half that UB played with a spirit demonstrative that victory was within their grasp. Now if only they had made a few more of their shots. A lesson on foul shooting from the Buffalo State team which shot 100 percent from the line in the first half might prove valuable to the Royals who could have pulled out a win had they connected on their free throws. UB went to the line 42 times only to make good on 12 shots. Junior guard, Beth Krantz, initiated the second half appropriately with a layup off the opening jumpball. It was a sign of things to come for Krantz who led the Royals throughout the rest of the game in steals, assists and the leadership that is badly needed by the young and still skeptical team. Krantz was complimented at the guard position by Marie Bell who has been moved up from her forward position to replace ineligible Robin Dulmage. New star The re-positioning brought Marie Clemens to the forward slot and she immediately let her presence be known. Clemens played her most impressive game of the season, coming up with 16 rebounds, four steals and nine points. Clemens combined with Lilley in dominating the boards offensively and defensively, but neither one could turn the rebounds into points. Lilley finished the game with high honors in scoring and rebounding, 20 each. The Bengats’ trio of Denise Campbell, Mary Donogher and Darlene Spears combined to give Buffalo State their winning edge in the-game’s second half. Campbell lead both squads in assists; Spears stabbed UB with her steals (6six) and rebounds (seven); while Donogher was deadly from the outside, hitting seven of eight shots from the field. The final bucket of the game should be an indication of the future for UB. With three seconds left and trailing by four points, Lilley added the finishing touch when she made a beautiful driving layup down the middle. It was an optimistic finish to an optimistic game for the Royals who are looking ahead to a few victories in the season’s second half. Tomorrow night should shed light on the Royals’ woes when they confront D’Youville College, a team that coach Liz Cousins has almost guaranteed the Royals will beat.

During a weekend spent more on the bus than on the ice, the Bulls salvaged a split of two New York Collegiate Hockey Association (NYCHA) games. After a very tough loss to number ranked, one Division II Plattsburgh State on Saturday night, the Bulls up-ended Potsdam State Sunday afternoon, 8-5. Coupled with an 8—5 defeat at Brock University last Thursday, Buffalo’s overall record now stands at 8—7. The Cardinal’s 7—2 rout at Plattsburgh was an exremely physical, tenuous affair; one that better resembled an unorganized war than a hockey game. More than 60 minutes of penalties were handed out in the contest 30 in as the first period alone arguments, scuffles and fights broke out incessantly throughout hockey - — the night. / The Cardinals, now l4-2, have won quite a reputation this season as a rought and tough squad. Buffalo coach Ed Wright about it beforehand. “We felt that we had to go out and use the body to get ourselves into the game," said a somber Wright. “But when you’re tired (from a seven-hour plus bus ride), you lose it in a hurry. By our being aggressive, we took the starch out of ourselves.” UB’s Tim Igo agreed wholeheartedly. “We went out and played it to stay with them.” And stay with they they did. At the end df two grueling periods, the top ranked Cardinals hel a slim 3—2 lead over the Bulls. Plattsburgh gained a 1-0 advantage 8:34 into the game when defenseman Tom Wescott tallied; but Tom Wilde, UB’s high-scoring left winger, evened matters at 14:06. Doug Kimura answered a scant ?0 seconds later, scoring his first of three goals for the Cardinals on a blast from the blue knew line. The Plattsburgh team was out for blood. With their offense in constantly gear, high they threatened to blow the game open. However, the Bulls survived the Cardinals’ furious onslaught, barely staving off a first period the embarrassment through of the convenient location goalposts, a rough and tough squad, some brutal checks, and the- marvelous play of goalie Bill Kaminska. In all this, Wilde managed to score again, his hard shot providing the culmination to a picture-like pass play between Rich Ed captain MacLean, , Patterson and himself. The power play goal tied the game at 2-2 just before the opening stanza came to an end. The middle period’s highlight may have been the first six and a half minutes, during which the referee faded to call an infraction, due to the teams’ rather toned down agresiveness. During this relatively middle talented peaceful spell in the period, the Cardinals’ composed Wescott, Kaminska, who was kep busy by the Cardinals for the remainder of the game, pointed out the key goal. "In the third period, they got that early goal and it seemed to provide momentum fo;them,” he said. UB’s Pete Dombrowski felt the same way. “The first two periods, we were playing good. Everybody was working together really well,” stated the disappointed freshman. “But that first goal right away in the third period really And stay with them they did. the end of two grueling periods, the top ranked Cardinals held a slim 3-2 lead over the Bulls. Plattsburgh doesn’t leave a very good taste in my mouth,” Wright said gloomily. “We just fell apart. They started moving the puck around on us, and we ran out of steam. We just didn’t have At anything. It was almost as if we were lethargic out there.” The following day, while the country was turning on the Super Bowl, the Bulls were turning off the Potsdam State Bears. Playing in another luxurious SUNY facility, UB’s Brien Grow, Dennis Gruarin and Keith Sawyer led the way to the 8—5 victory. Gruarin, a starter on defense since Dan Gemmer left the team, seldom name in the his gets scoring sheet, as his biggest asset is preventing goals, not scoring them. But Sunday was different. After contributing a goal and three assists, he preferred to talk about the team. “The defensemen were getting the puck up to the forwards. Our power play set-up was real good,” Gruarin asserted, “everybody worked as a team and we won.” Balance The coach also pointed out the team’s balance on offense, noting how the teams’ rather toned down aggressiveness. During this relatively peaceful “blue line” (Jim Galanti, Paul Narduzzo, Mark Werder), which really helped us tremendously,” Wright said. “That’s what ne need, not the “red Line” (Patterson, Wilde, Grow) scoring all the goals, but a balance of goal scoring.” The two colorful trios accounted for six of Grow had two the scores — night took the life out of t|»e Buffalo squad.

UB’s Pete are two pretty good hockey players,” Wright pointed out. “They were devastating and they proved it with all the scoring.” STICK CHECKS. The Brock crowd did not exceed 50 people, most of whom were Buffalo partisans. In the third period of that one, John Gallagher, soon becoming UB’s policeman, and Borck’s Tim Ball got into a different kind of fight. inside the penalty box. When finally separanted, after 6-3 Gallagher had taken all the hot air out of .. Ball, they were both excused for the night. Gallagher was one of the UB casualties in the “Saturday night fights” at Plattsburgh, along with Werder (severl stitches), and MacLean and Tim Igo. While at home, PLattsburgh plays in front of very large crowds and are spurred on by their own rink-side band. Furthermore, they played the UB game in front of local cable TV audience and entered the ice to the tune of “Rocky.” Tom Wilde, after 15 games, has as many goals as the number on his back, 20. Wright pinpointed his team’s problem main the after Plattsburgh setback. “People standing around in front of our net wide open. We’ve got men coming back for three quarters of the ice and then giving up in our end of the ice, where it’s most important,” the coach fumed. “If We’re going to become a consistent winning hockey club, it’s something we’re just going to have to go back over.” now —OlVIncanzo PRECISION: Buffalo'* Mika Doran praparat himaalf to maat tha watar of Clark HaH pool in Saturday's diving avant aa tha UB awknmori tfirottfad Cantaiui to ■tart tha now tamaatar in ityla.

The superior depth of their roster, combined with some fine individual performances, paved the way for Bulls to lead from start to finish. Scoring double victories for UB were: co-captain Chuck Niles in the 50 and 100-yard freestyle; senior Mike Doran in the required and optional diving; junior Jim Brenner in the 200-yard freestyle and 200-yard butterfly; and junior Cesar Lopez in the 200-yard breaststroke and 200-yard individual medley. Lopez also swam a leg in the victorious 400-yard medley relay. UB’s other individual winner was Larry Stefan in the 500-yard freestyle event. The only bright spot for Canisius all afternoon was the performance of Joe Zwierzchowski, who won the 1000-yard freestyle and 200-yard backstroke events.

Parker Carnegie Unit awards one credit spentin the classroom per week. News Editor In a stunning reversal of what appeared to be firm, unchangeable plans. Dean of Undergraduate Education John Peradotto and his assistant Walter Kunz have recommended that implementation of the Springer report be delayed until the fall of 1980. The two men will meet today with University President Robert L. Ketter and the Academic Cabinet to urge that the adoption of the Carnegie Unit as an academic base scheduled for next fall be delayed a year in order to study the complexities such a massive change will bring to the —" — “The reports were too skimpy Peradotto said. "They didn’t indicate how major requirements would be changed.’’ undergraduate program. If Peradotto and Kunz both centrally involved in smoothing the difficulties the change will bring successfully delay implementation. The Faculty Senate’s Springer Report on credit/contact hours will not go into effect until nearly three years after its passage in December of 1977. for each hour Both men told The Spectrum that “Logistical” problems are at the source of their recommendation to delay implementation. The new system would throw of haze a uncertainty over degree requirements, student course loads, class size, faculty teaching loads, bus runs and class scheduling. If implementation is delayed, • dozens of departments in all areas of the University will have to readjust curricula newly-designed to comply with the Carnegie Unit. Many courses that would have been devalued to three credits will be thrown into limbo. Departmental course listings were to have been completed by this Thrusday. - - Logistical problems The surprising turnaround by Peradatto and Kunz comes days after hard study on how to implement the so-called “Carnegie' Unit” began. The Incomplete info Peradotto said his decision to suggest postponing implementation for one year was sparked when he began looking through departmental reports compiled by the University’s seven faculties. These reports were due in the DUE office on January 15, although not all faculties made the deadlines. Those that did provided apparently incomplete information. “They were too skimpy,” Peradotto —continued on page “I am suggesting postponing implementation until 1980 until we have a clear chance to analyze potential problems Kunz said ” 18— Vol. 29, No. 50 State University of New York at Buffalo Monday, 22 January 1979 ■Created’ in 1977 Mandated faculty monitor committee not yet established by Mark Meitzer and Jay Rosen Faculty Senate committee -on A Administrative Evaluation, designed to provide a permanent faculty check on Capen Hall, has yet to be constituted although legislation creating it was passed by the Senate in April of 1977. Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Carver has hesitated on naming members to the committee, although he conceeded that the group must eventually be constituted unless the Senate Executive Committee “can talk their way out of it.” A standing committee to monitor the administrative process was' one 6f two recommendations contained in the report of an ad hoc committee on administrative evaluation chaired by Psychology Professor Ira Cohen. The passed Senate the recommendations overwhelmingly but 1977-78 Faculty Senate Chairman Jonathan Reichert refused to constitute the committee, raying that it was not his “administrative style” to work with standing committees. Motion made Carver took office apparently unaware of the report’s existence. At the December 6 Faculty Senate meeting, where Carver announced plans to toughen-up on the Senate’s committee system, a question from the floor , brought out the stagnancy of the Administrative Evaluation Committee. Carver said he knew nothing of the committee report. A motion to direct the Senate Executive Committee to investigate forming the committee was passed unanimously at the December 6 meeting. But the Executive Committee has been slow to act on the directive. It has yet to nominate any members or discuss the matter extensively. Flence two directives to form the standing the original approval in 1977 and committee the December 6 resolution have been effectively ignored. The Cohen committee began work on — — evaluating the administrative process in October of 1976. Most of the research was interviews with administrators of every rank. The committee took the reallocation of faculty lines as a “prism” through which to view the decision-making process. Flow poor The committee’s findings confirmed many long-standing about the suspicions Administration. Ironically, University President Robert L. Ketter was on leave during most of the group’s research. The committee found that many of the interviewees felt decisions were “capricious” in nature; i.e. based on personalities and friendships. Information flow from top to bottom was poor, the report stated, and there was a widespread feeling that the central administration (then 1 Hayes Hall) was becoming increasingly “insular. Since the committee used the reallocation of faculty lines as a research device, its work holds a special significance in light of Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn’s Academic Plan, which attempts to set the criteria for shifting money between units. “Evaluation of administrative functions is viewed as less than adequate,” the report reads, “.. . The central administration is viewed as purposefully avoiding public disclosure of priorities. The upper-level administration is not perceived as having given serious consideration to a thorough evaluation of administrative actions.” The Cohen committee was careful to point out that it could do no more than “initiate” a review and that without an on-going evaluation of the Administration there would be “no hope of a formal check and balance system between the faculty and Administration.” only Hence, the report’s two recommendations were that the report be forwarded to Ketter for discussion and that a continuing review of the Administration begin with the standing committee the committee that has yet to be formed. " — English Dept, faces faculty and pay cuts by Elena Cacavas Campus Editor An English Department meeting was unofficially adjourned Friday when angry members stormed out in disgust following a highly controversial decision made by Dean of Arts and Letters George - Levine. The exodus occured when Levine announced he would implement which will result in greater allocations for the English Department but will reduce the income of some faculty members by 15-20 percent. The plan calls for the incorporation of the Millard Fillmore College (MFC) English program into the English Department. At a special meeting of the Department’s Executive Committee last Monday, Levine announced the threat of 39 faculty cuts within Arts and Letters ten to be assumed by English. Line cuts vary with resource allocations (set on the basis of student/faculty ratios). According to Department Chairman Gale Carrithers, English operates at a ratio of 13.1-1. The state budget stipulates a 17-1 ratio and the Vice President of Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn who determines allocations at this University “will settle for” 15-1, Carrithers said. Levine presented his plan as an alternative to line depletions. He said the move will raise the English Department’s student/faculty ratio to approximately 25-1, substantially increasing its allocation from the University. Adding MFC “on load,” however, means that additional income the 15 to 20 percent, a total of $60,000 gained by faculty members who taught English courses for MFC will no longer be a plan — — — - - available Yet, that which was discussed by Levine on Monday turned out to be more than “presentation” Friday. Executive Committee members were as surprised as their Department colleagues when Levine announced three-quarters of the way into Friday’s discussion “The reform is being scheduled for the Fall right now. 1 decided last week that a toss up between extra teaching compensation and having jobs — - left me no alternative.” Associate Department Chairman Fred See addressed the agitated group, saying, “We can only acltnowledge that we have been put in this position and there is nothing we can do about it.” Within twenty minutes Baldy Hall’s Kiva Room was empty, the meeting never having been formally adjourned. Ironically, for one and one-half hours before Levine announced his decision, options were discussed. Carrithers proposed increasing the English requirements for undergraduates in order to bring more students into the Department an effort inherent in the General Education formula and increasing the number of courses for majors by implementing the three hour/three credit program. — — No guarantee Carver told The Spectrum that two existing Faculty Senate committees already serve some of the functions the Administrative Evaluation Committee would are the fill. They University-wide Committee on Operations and the Academic Planning Committee. Carver conceeded that the Senate resolution forces the Executive Committee to name members to the standing committee, but would not say when such action would be tsken. He refused to guarantee that members would be named before the next full Senate meeting February 6. Terribly destructive , Haunted by the threat of line cuts, Levine claimed that without the MFC changes, “I would be unable to make any appointments within Arts and Letters. I could be in the position of notifying faculty who are without, or up for, tenure that they will not be recalled. I would have to institute severe cuts in teaching assistant (TA) lines, and I would have to impliment program retrenchments.” Levine stressed his objection to the alternatives, claiming any of them could be “terribly destructive to this faculty.” He said he believed teaching loads in English should be increased. Levine defended Bunn’s 15 to 1 ratio pointing out that other University centers operate on budgets set at ratios of 17-1 while State Colleges maintain ratios of 20-1. He presented other ratios; Social Sciences are 18-1, Natural Sciences are 19-1, Management is 27-1, and —continued on page 2— Inside: Love Canal ‘secrets’—P. 7 / The ‘head’ hits London—Centerfold / Basketball Bulls win one—P. 16 �N *. English Dept. —continued from • pig* 1— • • Engineering is 16-1. “If you want to teach sections of six and seven,” Levine said, “you have to make up the difference elsewhere.” He explained that to do so the English Department would need at least one large class. Ideal, for the 1960a The Dean claimed that he has tried to negotiate with other deans, stating “I have approached them saying that I simply can’t cut more TA lines. Their response is, ‘The hell you can’t.’ Levine explained that four TA lines represent one faculty line. He said the University is currently faced with cuts of up to 80-90 faculty positions for next Fall. Because of Arts and Letters’ low enrollment figures, it is taking the brunt of the cuts. The incorporation of the 12 MFC English courses could increase the Full Time Equivalent upon which enrollment is based by 582 or 21 (FTE) figure ” - — percent. Defending a 15-1 ratio, English Professor Miles Slatin said that was the “ideal” argued for in the 1960s when major universities operated on ratios of 18 to 1. When questioned as to the equitable rewards in exchange for the concession by the English Department faculty members, Levine shocked an already unnerved audience by responding that none could be promised. “Putting MFC on load would only give me a bargaining position with Vice President Bunn,” said Levine. Slating summarized the Department’s position: “Evein if MFC is given up, some of your (Levine’s) alternatives will still be effective. In other words, Bunn’s ten lines is the most favorable treatment we can Who reigns in undergraduate Health Science: Bunn or Pannill? by Jay Rosen EdilorinChief expect” Nothing this year Commenting that all is subject to Governor Carey’s budget expected by February 2, Levine admitted that he would “not know what to do if the state demands more cuts. Obviously, Arts and Letters can take only so much. Other units will be affected greatly.” Despite the department’s commitment to incorporating the MFC courses, enrollment for next Fall is presently only a projection. As Levine stated, “FTEs can’t be counted until students are actually there.” Therefore, the new system will do nothing in terms of altering this year’s budget. The Department is seeking some relief from budget hindrances through the planned implementation of General Edi'cation next Fall which will require one year of English courses for all students. Carrithers stated that 100 sections of freshmen writing as are being established for next Fall in opposed to this year’s 63 anticipation of 3,000 incoming freshmen. Pointing out that 71 percent of undergraduate FTEs for English are generated at the lower levels (in 101 and 102 courses particularly), Levine asked why the department was losing upper level students through attrition. He cited a 45 percent drop in students. Carrithers responded, “The fact is we have always been service department (providing courses for other department requirements). The question is how long we can continue to do or be anything else.” Carrithers sought some mention of protection for “what is arguably the most distinguished faculty in Arts and Letters.” Blackhurst called for the University to examine its budgetary allocation system. “We spend 51 percent in parts of the University that are doing fine,” he said. “We should be committed to moving it to wherever the demand appears.” Yet frustrated faculty still question their impotence against Bunn’s academic planning and resource priorities. “What happened to our resolution saying that we will not tolerate any more losses,” a graduate - At the height of the still-smoldering battle for control of undergraduate education in Health Sciences, an administrator centrally involved remarked: “When this is all over, we’ll see who has the real power at this institution.” Although the dispute is now two months old and still weeks away from a resolution, it has provided several dramatic hints of how influence is sought and won in and ouf of Capen Hall - meeting rooms Beyond any doubt, Vice President for Health Sciences F. Carter Pannill has emerged as a student questioned. Levine commented, “The response has been silence. The situation we are in seems inevitable.” Associate Professor Victor Doyno added, “Even when the English Department enrollment was high, we got no prizes.” TION ■ rm. 339 Squire Hall ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY! 0“' 50 YeTr Analysis man of immense power in the Administration.

Ketter’s letter of February 1, 1978 was vague enough administrators say to allow differing interpretations of the DUE Dean’s role. The letter was not actually drafted by Ketter, sources agreed, and the President was unaware that Pannill felt the letter gave him full control of undergraduate education in the Health Sciences. It was Executive Vice President Albert Somit who drafted the February 1 letter, one high-placed source said. is still Although there — —. » because he must face down Carter Pannill. — the quality, scope and content of the undergraduate program and nothing else. the While Pannill/Bunn agreement is described thusly in the Feb. 1 letter: The Vice President for Health Sciences will assume direct responsibility for of administration' undergraduate programs in the Health Sciences and will develop a structure within his office appropriate to fill this responsibility. Intimidation the differences Although between the two policies appear they remained obvious, undiscovered for nearly nine months; until November when the Faculty Senate and Peradotto’s office began to realize what Pannill and Bunn had in mind. By this time, Pannill had negotiated the transfer of three clerical lines from DUE to Health Sciences and was considering the shift in authority “already in effect.” Hence Carter Pannill cunningly assumed control of undergraduate education in his division by intimidating the Vice President for Academic Affairs, keeping the President in the dark, ignoring the Senafe’s Faculty strong sentiments for a unified DUE and taking his own faculty by surprise, not to mention students.

Today The Spectrum unveils some of the problems which have served to encumber the Faculty of Social Sciences. ■ Fiji by John H. Reiss Special to The Spectrum Budget problems and frustrating isolation at the Ridge Lea Campus have caused serious harm to two key departments and have taken their toll in student contact and faculty morale, according to the Faculty of Social Sciences 1977-78 Annual Report. Authored by former Provost Arthur Butler, the report reveals that the Department of Psychology and the Department of Communicative Disorders and Sciences are reeling from problems caused by their unfortunate location at Ridge Lea, Psychology in particular has been painfully stung by life at the University’s makeshift, temporary campus. The report lambasts the campus’ recreational, library and eating facilities and cites these shortcomings as causes for the Department’s troubles. It claims: “Students clearly do not like coming to Ridge Lea: there is no place at present for them to sit except in the dreary corridor, the cafeteria is deadly and there is a super abundance of parking spaces.” It asserts that Psychology’s continued occupation at the Campus has dire „ The search consequences. Further, it holds Ridge Lea responsible for increased class cutting among Psychology students. Enrollment in the Department has remained stable, but class attendance has dropped. “Construction of a Social Science building on the Amherst Campus, is not expected to begin in the foreseeable future. Director pf Cognitive Studies Irving Biederman condemned the University leadership fpjr yd13 he called its “callous decision” to leave a large from within * department like Psychology on Ridge Lea. Students have received the brunt of the Campus’ punishment, Biederman told The Spectrum, “When a decision is made to leave a large department isolated* itpu’re Tuition hike plan was spurred by N.Y. banks Governor Carey’s proposed SI00 tuition hike was prompted by pressure from state banks according to Student Association of the State University (SASU) officials. SASU was leaked the information Tuesday from sources within the State Division of Budget (DOB). Banks are pressuring the state in an effort to clear the market of SUNY high interest notes by 1980, according to DOB. They are calling for “immediate” conversion of $248 million in high interest short term notes to 30-year long term bonds. Revenues from the tuition hike would foot the $5 million cost of conversion for which SUNY is responsible. For construction costs, SUNY floated the short term notes which are in effect l.O.U.s from the state. According to SASU, SUbTY originally was to have until 1982 to-'convert the notes into long-term bonds. Figures released to SASU by Oscar Lanford of State University Construction Fund show that DOB is now pressuring SUNY to have all notes converted by October T, 1980. According to original scheduling between DOB and SUNY, the state was to convert only $90 million in 1979-80. Now, DOB is demanding conversion of $150 million worth of the notes, which will cost SUNY an extra $5 million. . The money needed to convert the scheduled $90 million has already been worked into the SUNY budget. SUNY bonds popular Carey’s only explanation for the tuition hike was that extra monies were needed to “offset rising capital costs,” which SASU related to DOB’s unexpected demand. One SASU official commented, “We feel that DOB is being pressured by banks because SUNY is a very good investment. Whether we are talking about notes or long term bonds, both are popular because they are backed by tuition.” She explained, however, that SUNY bonds bring markedly reduced interest rates than do notes and are on a par with other market investments. Hence, the banks feel that financiers will, once the notes are converted, invest resources more heavily in areas apart from the state. According to New York Public Interest Group (NYPIRG) member Larry Schillinger, the state wants until 1982 to convert the notes' during which time interest is accumulating for investors. Schillinger explained that while interest is high, investors will not sell. Hencer capital is tied up and the purchase of other bonds on the market is decreased. Once the notes are converted people will be willing to sell. SASU estimates that the tuition hike, which will bring in an added SU.5 million, will cost the state $5,158,600 in TAP awards. In addition, according to SASU Legislative Assistant Jim Stern, the state could lose another S8 million in tuition due to a 2 percent enrollment JJeutl&MXti •••••• * HALF SHALF TRADING CO. condemning hundreds, maybe thousands of students to ride the buses,” he said. “The real impact has been on the lives of the students.” Biederman is- infuriated by the University’s decision to move small departments first then wail for more construction before the larger ones are resettled. He argued that many of the offices in Crofts where little instruction occurs, could be moved off campus in favor of academic interests. Biederman contends the faculty is angry because it was bypassed in a decision which he said seems to have been made “without reason, through incompetence As difficult a time as students have had with the pro-fabricated campus, Biederman said that “Fort Ridge Lea” or "The Prairie” has been terrible for faculty morale. Not only are professors unhappy teaching at the bus depot, but the Department’s geographical troubles have caused problems both in recruiting faculty and graduate students, and in keeping them here. When asked if Psychology professors are reluctant to teach at LIB, Biederman replied, “Oh God yes. They don’t want to spend their professional lives in a place like tbis. When faced with a choice between a pretty University and this, we’re going to lose out. This place is ugly and isolated.” Dashed expectations Dean of Social Sciences Kenneth Levy agreed that the Faculty as a whole is experiencing sinking morale but feels that the problem is complicated by tight, strangling budgets. He said the professors who are most affected are those who have been here for many years and enjoyed the affluent 60’s with its burgeoning budgets. He, feels the prosperous 60’s engendered high expectations since dashed by the University’s fiscal straits, “Many experienced expanding budgets and began looking for new directions and anticipated more and better colleagues,” Levy said. “Now, with decreasing budgets, have the same people expectations but can’t do ah or much of what could —continued on page * 9fT| *ff 3268 Main Street 12— * Monday Wed. 10-6 pm Thurs., Friday 10 9 pm Sat. 10 6 pm - - - 838-4744 THE $ALE OF $ALES We’re Shoveling Out... up to off on selected store only 80% Jeans Oshkosh Cords mts 50% OFF We Now Cany �* I Computer Science GA needed 0.

The latest report on attrition/retention here found that attitudes of faculty may play a major role in dropout rates. The Tenure and Privileges report, in suggestion that professors who concentrate on teaching may actually be hurting themselves, bears particular significance at a time when instructors’ disregard for students is being blamed for an alarmingly high dropout rate. Clearly, the instructor who devotes too much energy to his students risks paying the price at time. Of PRB members, the student member placed the greatest weight on the faculty promotion member’s teaching skill. Evaluating teaching effectiveness has been one of the PRB’s greatest problems.

Khoemini, still in seif imposed exile outside of Paris, has declined to support the new regency government of Prime Minister Shahpour Bahkhtiar announcing recently the formation of a Moslem opposition government to supplant the ‘illegal Bahkhtiar government of technocrats. A telegram sent to the powerful religious leader by the MSA hailed him as the “serial, political and religious leader of stating the Iranian masses,” further that Khomeini had applied the basic principles of the Islamic religion skillfully and rightfully according Po the time and needs for human freedom. At this point the Bahkhtiar government, supported by both the military and the U.S. State Department, has failed to rally significant support from either dominant religious leaders or the people and remains in a veiy tenuous position. An assessment by the State Department has given the regency government only a 50-50 chance of surviving. Khomeini, who has a wide following among the Iranian people due to his longstanding opposition to the despotic rule of the Shah, is rumored to be considering a return to Iran. In all likelihood this would probably shaky the Bahkhtiar topple government, allowing Khomeini to grab the helm. And of course there’s also the possibility that the - of a conservative government, might engineer a coup. army, wary Moslem ‘Bar the Shah' In clarification of the MSA telegram one Iranian student here, who chose to go unnamed, indicated that Bahkhtiar has only one alternative, that is to step down in favor of Khomeini. The same student also dismissed a qualified endorsement of the Bahkhtiar government by a more moderate religious leader Ayatollah that Shareatmadary, ‘FI saying Shareatmadary has little support from the Iranian people. The UB student also criticized the negative media coverage of the recent demonstration by Iranian students the against Shah’s mother at her residence in Beverly Hills, California. He maintained that the police provoked the The demonstration mayhem. resulted in confrontations with officers and some destruction of property. Following the Beverly Hills clash, the White House stated that any Iranian students engaging in violent or disruptive activities in the U.S. will be deported from the country. Moreover, the UB student objected to the Shah’s scheduled arrival in the U.S. indicating that his presence here contravenes U.S. laws immigration barring admission to “criminals.” The student foresees more anti-Shah demonstrations when the deposed monarch makes his anticipated arrival. “The -Shah must be brought back to Iran to face justice,” the student commented. “Khomeini will be in power within a few weeks,” he predicted.

PROFESSIONAL FEES NOT INCLUDED �ondaymondaymondaymondaymon editorial m I Rocking the boat We find it mounding that a faculty which appears to be largely dissatisfied with the Administration of this University has accepted without a whisper of discontent timid, unimaginative and blatantly irresponsible leadership in its own Senate. The Faculty Senate Executive Committee has so far refused to constitute a standing committee on Administrative Evaluation for no reason other than an unwillingness to challenge the powers that be. The standing committee which was approved 21 months ago to monitor the administrative process and place a faculty check on Cepen Hail might have been instrumental in protecting the faculty's interests in recent crises such as the DUE Dean's role and the on-again, off-aoain Springer report. Senate Chairman Newton Carver's reluctance to constitute the committee has absolutely no legal basis. The committee has existed since the spring of 1977 and by now could have been a potent source of influence for the faculty in the key decisions made this year. Perhaps Executive Committee members feel that task it best left to themselves; but they have no legal standing to enforce that judgement and their performance this year has been overly cautious at a time when critical decisions are being made and mismade by a very few men. Now, there is something to be said for tact and delicacy in any infiltration of the power structure. But not everyone plays by the rules here. Carter Pannill has been neither tactful nor delicate as he pushes the Faculty Senate around on the DUE Dean dispute. We would think that pride alone would spur the formation of the Aoministrative Evaluation Committee. (Pride. There we go speaking the wrong From a senator’s point of view - - - - — — To the Editor: In recent editions of The Spectrum, articles have been printed concerning the fuctioning of the Student Senate. Most of these articles have been of the editorial form while others have been written by persons on the Executive Board of the Student Association. I am addressing this article to the students in reference to The Spectrum and such Student Association Executive Board members who acknowledged The Spectrum's position have concerning the Senate. The Spectrum has been terribly unjust in trying to compare the Student Senate to a circus. A circus as defined by the American Heritage Dictionary of the English language means: a public entertainment consisting typically of a variety of performances by acrobats, clowns, and trained animals, while the Student Senate is a group of concerned students who are giving up their precious study time in order to try and alleviate the problems we students face at this university. It is very ironic that The Spectrum claims to be a “student newspaper” while it consistently slanderizes its readers by biased inadequate reporting. It is important for students to understand the relationship between The Spectrum and the majority of the members of the Executive Board of the Student Association. During the history of SA elections, there has been a coherent trend which stipulates that persons receiving endorsements from The Spectrum are ninety percent of the time victorious in the elections. Understand that presently an overwhelming minority of Executive Board of SA have previously worked for or have been associates to The Spectrum 1 believe that this is essentially the reason why the SA Executive Board and the editorial board of The Spectrum have been in accordance concerning the functioning of the Student Senate. Being a Senator, I have analyzed the functioning of the meeting and have sorted out the root of the problem-plagued Senate, it is my belief that the Executive Board of SA disbelieves in Article II, Section 2 of the SA Constitution which reads “The Student Senate shall have the power to finalize all legislation initiated in the task forces and the Executive Committee. It shall have the ultimate authority over all the affairs of Student Association with the exception of the finalizing of the annual Student Association Budget.’ The Executive Board feels threatened by this section of the Constitution and they frequently work Collectively against the Senate and this creates most of the disharmony. What are checks and balances in student government for? As for students, we must take an active concern and participate in our student government. Viewing the functioning of the Student Senate is the only way to efficiently judge the functioning of your government. Guy Git tens Black Student Union language again.) We are tired of hearing and often printing the cries of people who perpetually wait for someone else to lead them from misery. While everyone sits around, claiming to be "sensitive" to each other’s needs, the University is spiraling into something close to chaos. In many ways, this University gets the leadership it deserves. The faculty is no exception. Those that will accept a "don't rock the boat” philosophy when the ship is already reeling deserve to drown in their discontent. - - • A dream To the Editor. Last Monday, while this University rushed headlong into a new semester, the rest of this country paused a day to give recognition to Martin Luther King. Not that so much had to be done Monday; most of us spent it on lines and in 10 minute classes with our new professors. However by not participating in the A thorough look Recognizing reality has become a popular theme these days. Division of Undergraduate Education Dean John Peradotto and Assistant Dean Walter Kunz have recognized the real problems students saw long ago in implementing the Springer report, and have conceeded that a (all 1979 target date is unreachable. ,, While we agree with that judgement and commend Peradotto and Kunz for reversing their plans, the fact remains that the Springer report has never been proven feasible for the fall of any yGir. Until it is (without students being used as logistical guinea pigs), the report should remain where Peradotto and Kunz are attempting to place it • on the shelf. We urge President Ketter to take the advice he it being offered and delay implementation indefinitely. Perhaps then an intelligent, thorough look at the credit/contact issue up to now, neglected can begin in earnest. nation-wide recognition of Dr. King this University’s action constituted a sign of disrespect to a giant of our times and a slight to what he stood for. The University claims that it only recognizes those holidays recognized by the state. But please don’t tell me that if the university community demanded that this token of respect be paid that it would not be granted. - - by Jay Rosen The Spectrum Vol. 29, No. 50 Monday, 22 January 1979 Editor in Chief Jay Rosen Oenite Slumpo Business Manager Bill Pinkelstein Advertising Manager Jim Sarles Office Manager Hope Exmer Production Manager Backpage . . .

What hits someone like me the hardest about ew York City is that no one thing hits me the hardest. Trng to typify the New York experience is an inviting, strangely seductive task, but one that is doomed like the station wagon looking to park in midtown to circle the streets for hours on end running out of fuel.,So I am not foolish enough to tell anyone what 1 think New York is about; because it is not about anything except itself. It is the city that thinks it’s a world and the visitor cannot know - Andy Koenig . Art Director Rebecca Bernstein News Editor Daniel S. Parker It’s a shame; an issue like this should be settled naturally by the consensus of an aware university body. But it hasn’t and it probably won’t. And yet the detectors of trends wonder why this country has balkanized itself into states of special interest. It’s simply because where the general consciousness is feeble it is up to those who care about things like justice to get out and see that it is done. The calendar for next year is in the making.

But he can try. I look at the city as a slave to its streets. Everything else rises from tunnels beneath, circles around or otherwise owes its life to the streets This, of course, was not invented by New York but somehow the real sense of the city is taken from the crowded sidewalks and shoulder to shoulder comers of Manhattan. Because whatever ,s ,ess of indoors There are crystal K chandeliers and paint-chipped walls in all cities limes Square has no cousins. What goes on in the streets becomes a curious metaphor, for New Yorkers themselves: frazzted, in a hurry, each with a different sourcerude and different destination and everyone for waiting someone to get out of the way. The people just move a little slower than the cars and buses. Since New York is about itself. New Yorkers W 7.° rk “ - existe New New Yorkers Yorkers.

I will choose warmth over style when dressing for Broadway and slither a parka through shoulders of leather and fur. I will walk quickly and confidently down Sixth Avenue even cursing the man-hunting cab drivers sometimes, yet still find my neck creening up to gape at the shimmering towers of window and steel, like any little boy in the big city. One thing I can’t master is the wordless exchange between clerk and customer. I am always throwing in an unwanted Please or Thank-You and getting a stare in return. 1 have yet to offer my first expletive to an unfriendly employee. The Subway Stare is easy to fake, even if you do have to cheat every stop to make sure you don’t drift into Brooklyn or something. But I am too new to love New York, although 1 am certainly not as terrified of the place as 1 was watching Johnny Carson seven years ago. The city leaves me off guard too much to ever declare war on it, which is what New Yorkers are always prepared to do, if the trains are delayed or a psychopath is on the loose. Which is why New Yorkers cannot comprehend who hate their city. Although they themselves will curse, kick and spit at all the maddening and sickening sides of New York, to despise the whole is, for them, nonsensical. It is not the same mentality as The Bad Outweighs The Good argument all other city-defenders give you. For the seamy, sometimes frightening scenes in the New York city drama give New Yorkers’ arrogance its razor edge. That these people could folerate, and in the shadows of their minds somehow relish living among the horrors of New York city, is the beguiling glaze on New York pride that sets it apart from Other civic affections arid makes Manhattan’s magnificence that much more entrancing. Or so it seems to me, from Buffalo. people �daymondaymondayr feedback Guest Opinion Fight the tuition hike SA by Joel Mayersohn Executive Vice President By now the word of the Governor's proposed tuition increase has spread across the campus and the State. The Student Association here and SASU are organizing comprehensive campaigns to fight this ill-conceived raise in fees. All this week students will be manning tables in Squire Hall asking other students and concerned members of the University to spend $2 to save $100. You can have a direct impact on the Governor by spending $2 to send him a Public Opinion telegram. These comments of 15 words or less will be sent that same day to the Governor. Students at the tables will be accepting money and messages all this week. The urgency of this issue necessitates an immediate response and this is why we urge you to take direct action. 2 0 1 Another way to voice your discontent is to send to Albany. Sample letters will be available at the tables in Squire. The proposed tuition hike will do nothing to benefit the State University system. The revenue generated by the raise will be used to speed up payment on short-term SUNY bonds. Such a process is unnecessary and in fact will have a profoundly negative effect on SUNY and the state budget. Students will be able to get information and send off telegrams and letters from 10 to 2 in Haas Lounge Monday and Wednesday, and in the center lounge of Squire Hall, Tuesday, Thursday, and a letter *9 k\ % Friday, This tuition increase does not have to become a reality. If the Governor is innundated with telegrams and letters from concerned voters he will be forced to consider the repercussions his proposal will :^r generate. ,S£>] w WNY Peace Center To the Editor even with President Carter’s recent appointment of Lt. Gen. George Seignious as director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency is both confusing and infuriating. Seignious is uniquely unsuited for the job. He is the first military man to head the ACDA; prior to his appointment, he was involved witft two militarist organizations; the Coalition for Peace through Strength and the American Security he has already expressed the opinion that there will be a major arms escalation, a SALT agreement. His belief that qualitative and quantitative “improvements” are necessary in land-based missiles, submarine based missiles and bombers is completely contradictory to the purpose of both SALT and the ACDA. The United States must begin to take real initiatives in disarmament and arms control. It is very important that concerned individuals write to their Senators to protest Carter’s appointment of w Seignious. Council, Anne Meisenzahl WNY Peace Center Staff Follett blues To the Editor: To the Editor. 1 would like to know why State-paid campus security are working at the privately-owned Follett bookstore. I would also like to urge all students to avoid purchasing books at Follett because of their obvious increases in prices. It may be more difficult to walk across the street to Laco bookstore but the lines are probably shorter and they have many of the books students need for their courses. Rob Ro.unno Kemp on the Corliss Lamont, distinguished philosopher and humanist, has recently expressed his opposition to the exacerbation of the arms race. According to Dr. Lamont, it is ultra-conservatives such as, Jack Kemp of Hamburg who are threatening the economic and political solvency of America in the name of “national security.” Mr. Kemp, a protege of Ronald Regan and a supporter of Richard Nixon almost to the end, continually sells himself to the electorate as a militant advocate of economic growth through deflationary tax reductions. Dr. Lamont sees such pretensions, however, as merely a ruse under which lies the sordid rapacity of the military-industrial complex. As Dr. Lamont correctly points out, we are just not interested in economic growth defined in terms of increased corporate profits, but, rather, in socially beneficial economic development; we are just not interested in tax reductions benefiting corporate America, but, rather, in tax reductions which will expand the purchasing power of the many at the - interns Faithfully serving the of business, Governor Carey is proposing a $ 1 (JO.OO a year tuition increase. The existing tuition is already prohibitive to poor and working people burdened with high inflation and incommensurate wage increases.

This outrageous sum will go to,backing fascist regimes such as exist in Turkey and Sdudi Arabia, while silk lining the pockets of the military industrial complex at home. That wealth which the working people created should be used to bettering the quality of life instead of keeping the masses of the world hungry and repressed. On the state level (governor Carey is offering larger tax cuts to business and upper income groups. The State University system is not the only area that’s Joeing choked to death. Buffalo public schools are so severely overcrowded that there aren’t enough desks in the room for pupils to sit. Garbage and snow removal is inadequate as well as bus service. The proposed increase in tuition will not better the quality of education but be siphoned directly to the banks. University trustees, who don’t just happen to be bankers, okay huge loans or bonds starting at 6% interests over long time periods. The banks make out royally collecting 200 and 300% returns. It is these banks and businesses which decide where our tax money goes and how much tuition will be. If government can’t provide necessary services, then they are not fit to govern. We demand a rolling back of tuition. We will not allow high paid politicians and administrators to decide education. defense To the Edictor: - No tuition increase expense of the few. Mr. Kemp, on the other hand, is interested in' constricting government in order to increase the liberty of corporate America an effect which Mr. Kemp describes as deflationary economic stimulation spawned by decreased government who can afford Debra Hase Workers World Party - spending. In reality, as Dr. Lamont points out, it is the and the commitment of the defense budget American government to a war economy which is the actual source of our country’s poor economic and social performance. Therefore, we cannot hope for a reprieve from our difficulties until we drastically curtail our defense expenditures, and simultaneously expand our trade relations with the — — socialist and third worlds. This would mean the institution of an economy pursuing production for peace and detente, rather than the fascist-like corporate state which men like Jack Kemp seek. Therefore, we must expose and defeat the invidious and inhuman policies of men such as Jack Kemp: otherwise we will be cursed with a war for which men like Kemp are secretly preparing, and which will bring the human race untold suffering and misery.

It reconmends that the FBI “develop intelligence measures to neutralize him,” and also to “consider ways to discredit (Gregory).” grapple with shrinking budgets is cutting dowri on its support staff, or secretaries, rather than trim faculty lines and graduate assistantships. The unfortunate result. Levy said, is that “everything gets slowed That monstrous shadow A long time ago Dick Gregory wrote a book called The Shadow particularly Political Science, Geography and History That Scares Me. Today he talks like he has seen whatever monstrous thing it is that cast that shadow. Near the end of his talk, half a thousand sit in rapt attention while he tells the story of how “they” tried to kill him two years ago on his birthday. He had been on the way home to his family when he changed his plans. Later that night the I 1 o’clock news in Boston reported that he had been killed. Instead it was the driver who had been sent to the airport to get him.

Your work becomes sloppier or it takes longer to get it out.” Levy admitted that "we've probably gone too far,” and indicated that he may be forced to reverse his policy and hire fewer faculty to strengthen the support staff. The report states that complaints over the paucity of secretarial lines have poured in from every sector of Social Sciences. Most departments, but have been bitten by shrinking secretarial forces and have been unable to meet some critical needs. “The toll is difficult to assess,” the report claims, “since it shows up in work noi accomplished, in faculty morale and in overburdened staff.” It held that further reductions will most likely result in “serious damage to academic programs." And further reductions are exactly what Social Sciences can expect. Along with the Faculty of Arts and Letters and the Faculty for Educational Studies. have experienced recent enrollment declines and none are favored in the Academic Plan devised by Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn. not be devastating, but which should have a severe impact on the Faculty. Levy estimated that the one point change will lead to a loss of nine faculty over three years. He explained that the method which Bunn used to determine budget reductions was to decide how heavy a workload each Faculty and School should have, and set the student-faculty ratio accordingly. Levy expressed bewilderment at how Bunn could decide on a single student-faculty ratio for the Entire Faculty of Social Sciences, which is comprised of 18 departments, centers and programs. He considers the Faculty to be too diverse for someone to set an individual figure, and called Bunn's method "mysterious to me,” Levy said he was “not happy about it (the increased workload),” but remarked that he respected the' Vice President’s decision. Nevertheless, the reductions “are not going to allow us to do lots of things worthwhile doing,” he said. Budget cuts have forced Social Sciences to of its present plans in hopes of building a promising future. Recruitment efforts have been snarled by the lack of funds. The Faculty is now concentrating its efforts on hiring talented assistant professors rather than more expensive, discard much top-flight full professors. “We’re building for the future,” Levy remarked, “by hiring people whom we feel will be the best in the field in ten years.

Six years have passed since the Supreme Court’s controversial ruling legalizing abortion. Since that landmark decision, however, both the courts and local, state and federal governments have acted to restrict the availability of legal abortions, first to poor women, then potentially to all women in the united States. Both state and federal funding of Medicaid financed abortions have been severely cut back. In June 1977, the Supreme Court ruled that individual states did not have to pay their share of the cost of Medicaid abortions. In August of the same year, Congress went one step further and passed the controversial Hyde Amendment, prohibiting the use of federal monies to finance Medicaid abortions, with exceptions granted only in special cases, such as rape and endangerment of the mother’s life and health. Presently, only 18 states and the District of Columbia continue to provide abortion funds through Medicaid five tfo so under direct court order.

In short, students create and for their responsibility take house’s policies, and in so doing, formulate the kind of home environment they desire. of University Michigan students have found that a little cooperation can go a long way. In the past decade, Ann Arbor has where UM is located to student become home — - cooperatives,'ranging from optical and legal services to bicycle, automotive and home repair. The largest and oldest student there is cooperative venture housing. Under the aegis of the Inter-Cooperative Council (ICC) there are 23 co-op houses with approximately 600 residents. For $160 a month, a UM student gets a room, meals, laundry and telephone service, according to Stewart breakdown in the family? The other deterrent is_ far less pleasant: non-cooperation among co-opers, the affliction which fizzled the only attempt at UB to establish a housing cooperative 1972 the In Student Association and Sub Board established the Scholastic Housing Corporation to investigate the of possibilities alternate off-campus housing to compete With shrinking space in the dorms high-priced and rooms near campus. The Administration supported the idea, with UB President Robert L. Kelter terming it “a befitting activity worthwhile students”. Sub Board allotted $70,000 to the endeavor and about half of it was spent on payments to buy a house on Crescent Street, an erstwhile old folks home. By September 1, 1974, the first group of 22 students moved in while several more were on the waiting list. Short experiment The corporation hoped to add one house a year for the next five years, but the organization immediately collided with the problems, precluding optimistic growth rate. There was only to be one house. First, the Student Senate voted to restrict funding for the project because money much of the accumulated through mandatory student fees would not be after the employed until contributing students graduated. Tightening of the fiscal noose was not the only reason the housing project folded. According to one student involved in the project then, the residents simply did not get along well together and failed to keep the house in - - acceptable repair. So the experiment lasted little over a year. And when Sub Board sold the house on Crescent Street last spring, they lost money. HUD not favorable According to Debby Dunn, a coordinator at NASCO in Ann Arbor, students at UB would have much more difficulty if they tried to start a co-op today.

In return, the students are expected to work about four hours a week, mostly performing household chores and maintenance duties. Bulk buying The $30' to $50 difference in the room and board between co-ops and the dormitories is derived from volunteer labor and bulk of food.

According to another co-op resident, living among many peers has her greatly improved mechanical abilities. And while sometimes the food runs' out before the end of the month, in general the meals are tasty and plentiful. Perhaps the most profound and illuminating difference between conventional on-and-off Campus housing and co-op housing is the family-type atmosphere. UM residents generally agree that it is necessary to become “at least a little emotionally involved” with the other housemates. Said one, “the give and take between the people who live here would be impossible unless we treated each other kind of like brothers and sisters.” This ideal is often not possible, for two outstanding reasons.

Overall, the 6-3 junior hit nine for eleven from the field to go with two foul shots for 20 points. Bouie, with 25 points, was even began more devastating. Using his 6-6 frame in close, Bouie rattled the rafters of Clark Hall with two slam dunks. Up by just one basket, the Bulls pulled away when Bouie took a feed underneath from guard Dave Quick and hammered the ball through the rim to the delight of the 300 people waiting for a UB victory. Bouie’s second stuffer came later in the game, when after being down by nine, Geneseo seemed to baining momentum. Unable to immediately penetrate a half-court zone, guards Quick and George Mendenhall patiently kept the ball moving outside. To the surprise of the Knight’s defense, Mendenhall fired the ball in low to Bouie, who opened up a six point lead by taking the ball high over his head and dunking any hopes Geneseo had for leaving town with a win.

UB took a five point lead (their biggest) of 55-30 when the Bonnies seemed to slow up and the Royals’ fast break opened fire.

The opening minutes of the second half looked optimistic for UB when they answered back to every Bonnie basket and pulled ahead by one with guard Liz Krantz’s steal and layup. But five minutes later, UB’s sudden defensive slack gave away 10 fairly easy points and the Bonnies’ lead grew wider and wider.

Peradotto completely new to administration has not enough experience to ask the right questions when his interests arc at stake although he - -continued from page 1 said. “They didn’t indicate how major requirements will be changed." He said this lack of information coupled with the serious logistical problems is enough evidence to support delaying the new proposal. Things would have been made easier for Bunn if Ketter had Kunz told The Spectrum, “I am suggesting postponing implementation until 1980 until we have a clear chance to analyze potential problems and asked for separate reports from the two Vice Presidents. As it devise mechanisms to deal with them.” Student Association (SAj Director of Student Affairs strongly endorsed Peradatto and Kunz’s move to delay implementation saying, “The logistical problems are overwhelming. Any plans to TOBOGGAN successfully implement the plan for the Fall (1979) are totally absurd.” Juisto predicted that the move to delay implementing the Carnegie Unit will be accepted “because it is the only practical thing to do.” Juisto noted a “movement” within the PIZZA & PARTY • • Saturday, Jan. 27th - 2 pm (Rides provided to Chestnut Ridge) Reservations by Jan. 25th • call 634-7129 cost $1.00 N . vV oO -t8 ilziCl •■oy '<na Sponsored by Wesley Foundation "You have a friend” - H insl n*3”; vrevil 0 dZ d is learning quickly during what has become a tense, volatile period in the administration. more compelling Still, the figure remains the unflappable Pannill, holding nearly an entire university at bay and making his attackers come to him.

Saving face \ •>* • OB University Administration to back-up his claim. Kunz, Chairman of the Logisitia Kunz, Chairman of the Logisitical Implementation Committee (the committee that is charged with preparing and evaluating the proposal to affirm the Carnegie Unit in the fall) acknowledged that his committee has yet to meet this year. Kunz explained that he did not think it was necessary for his committee to meet last semester “Until it had received more precise data” regarding the nature and extent of the proposed changes.

Departments in the Faculties of Arts arid Letters and Social Sciences plus the School of Management will devalue their courses to three credits, with some exceptions. The School of Fngineering and the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathamatics will “four for continue to grant four credits, but for four classroom hours per week. Courses in the Health Sciences will remain scattered from two to six credits. Nearly all courses in departments, though, would have conformed to the Carnegie Unit except where a special DUE committee (chaired by Peradatte) approves a different arrangement. whenever it Ramifications of the change occures are varied. In Faculties such as Arts & Letters and Social Sciences there will virtually be a five course load and the internal restructuring is overwhelming. Associate Dean of Social Sciences John Naylor explained that internal degree requirements may be altered and “grandfather clauses” (provisions for students in the middle of their academic careers) will be examined. Kunz noted that such clauses will probably lower the number of credits needed to graduated since many students have been planning on course schedules suddenly worth fewer credits. - - Hard to predict Associate Dean of Health Sciences Donald Larson echoed the concern of many of his colleagues saying, “Although internally the effect will be minimal, 1 have not seen information of the impact the changes will have on external factors, such as prerequisites for admission to programs.” Larson added. “1 haven’t seen it discusses, studied, or worked out. Therefore, it is hard to predict what these changes will do to undergraduate Health _ Sciences.” Sunshine House Crisis Intervention Center 106 Winspear A Buffalo, N.Y. 14214 716-831-4046 Open 24 hours every day Emotional, family & drug related problems Problems in living, rape & crisis outreach Referral services AN confidential �classified ROOMMATE WANTED Keypunch Operators Class 3 Drivers $1.50 tot the first ten words, $0.10 for each additional Word.

Student course loads will be altered in dozens of ways, depending on the major and year in school, but about half the undergraduates will face extra workloads next fall and all students will wrestle with a more complex, less class schedule. of its supporters has been scrapped, except for a few isolated courses that can justify the extra credit. SUNY Buffalo will thus join most American universities in adopting the three-credit course as aq academic base. uniform The University, following the recommendations of the Faculty Senate, has implemented the so-called “Carnegie Justifiable anxiety But the new system faces a future rigged with uncertainty over its impact on class size, bus schedules, faculty loads and student-degree requirements, many of which will be wrecked in mid-stream by the changeoever. New Division of Undergraduate Education Dean John Peradotto conceded that the switch to three-credit courses will create a “tremendous problem for those who have gotten used to the four course load. They will experience this change with some justifiable anxiety,” Peradotto predicted. While incoming freshmen will have known no other system, they will find a complex class listing awaiting them: Most courses worth three credits, some four, a few six, and so on. And for students already advanced in their academic careers, the Carnegie Unit will alter degree had that been based on the old requirements Unit” which awards one academic credit for each hour spent in the classroom per week. Since 1969, most undergraduates here have handled four four-credit courses that meet for only three hours a week. That system which, according to the Faculty Senate and administrators here, never fulfilled the dreams — “four-for-three” system. But the changeover is by no means uniform. Departments in the Faculties of Arts and Letters and Social Sciences plus the School of Management will devalue their courses to three credits, with some exceptions. The School of Engineering and the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics will continue to grant four credits, but for four classroom hours per week. Mounting pressure Courses in the Health Sciences will remain scattered from two to six credits. Nearly all courses in all departments, though, will conform to the Carnegie Unit (classroom hours equal to credits) except where a special Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) committee approves a different arrangement. The death of the four course load became imminent when the Faculty Senate Springer Committee, formed to respond to mounting pressure from both educators here its and the Division of Budget (DOB) in Albany report a year ago recommending a return to the Carnegie —continued on page 2— State University of New York at Buffalo Vol. 29, No. 49 Friday, 19 January 1979 Bids exceed estimate for Phys. Ed. complex The search by Kathleen McDonough and David Davidson from The lowest bid for the steel structure of the new Physical Education complex came in nearly $ 1 million over the State University Construction Fund’s original estimate and has pronpted a shift in building plans for the long-awaited facilty. Originally opened October 25, 1978, the bids were all rejected as too high. The SUCF then decided to combine the steel structure contract with the overall construction pact and accept combined bids for the $12.5 million complex. Those bids will be opened February 6. Bids received Tuesday for a new lecture hall on the Amherst Campus were also above anticipated costs. The lowest bid was nearly $500,000 more than the State planned to pay. According to Albany SUCF official Charles Segal, original cost estimates for the gym’s steel structure were $2,139 million while the lowest bid received, J.W. Copwer Inc., was $3,078 whose firm million. However, Architect Robert C. Coles prepared both the design and estimate for the SUCF, claimed the recommended figure was $2.7 million. According to Coles, the lowest bid was $3 million, thus falling within an acceptable ten percent allowance for rising costs of construction. , Steel first Frank Sullivan, a SUCF official in Buffalo, agreed that architect Coles’ estimate was “considerably below the lowest bid.” Other bids, Sullivan said, were $3.2 and $3.7 million. Originally the SUCF intended to award construction contracts for separate sections of the facility; i.e., steel, concrete, etc. The steel structure was the first to be opened for bidding. According to Coles, the decision to construct piece-meal was supposed to speed the fund-securing process. “They wanted to get an early start and needed figures to give to the State,” he said. The hope was that by asking only for funds for a single section SUCF would stand a better chance of obtaining State funds. Once the structure contract was awarded, said Coles, the State would be obliged to provide money for the remainder of the facility. Neal optimistic The steel structure represents a quarter of the facility’s cost. The complex will eventually include a 10,000-seat field-house, lockers and administrative offices. Phase I, scheduled for completion in 1981, will be followed by a second phase to include further classroom space, a pool, three gymnasiums and a wrestling room. Phase II is slated to be finished in 1984, although funds are by no means secured. Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal is optimistic that the three-month delay will have little effect on the construction timetable. But Neal cautioned that unforeseen difficulties could still hamper the two-and-one-half-year building process. It is uncertain what the effect of the unexpected cost increase of the lecture ahll will be. The lecture hall will provide classrooms with high seating capacity on the new campus. Presently, most Amherst classrooms are below 100 seats. The new building, with its five to six halls, will have one room with 500 seats. The original cost estimate was about $3 million, but the low bid was $3,474 million. Segal would not speculate from where the additional $500,000 would be obtained, or even if it could be allocated; and did not wish to comment on whether money could be taken from other construction projects. Inside: West Valley hearing P. 3 — / within Natural Sciences and Mathematics beset by budget, morale woes Editor’s note: This is the first in a series of articles to appear in The Spectrum detailing Deans’ Annual Reports. The University has been bewitched by budgetary problems presumable stemming from the state's fiscal woes, yet some departments have been far more severely affected than others, while a few have curiously managed to flourish and expand. The series will hopefully place into perspective how the University as a whole is dealing with racing inflation and creeping increases by investigating how individual Faculties and Schools are handling this seemingly insuperable problem. by John H. Reiss Special to The Spectrum Dean Paul Reitan’s 1977-78 annual report on the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics reveals that the Faculty is beset by budget problems which are destroying morale and may prove to be damaging to its reputation. The report, released in June, states that budget reductions have adversely affected every unit of the Faculty. Laboratory sciences have been particularly hard hit by spiraling inflation and budget cuts; and the report indicates that scientists can no longer simply work harder to make up for the monetary losses. The report calls for a systematic approach to meet supplies and equipment costs and, more importantly, cites the growing perception “...that greater faculty effort and better performance is neither recognized nor appreciated” by the University. Reitah refused to speak with The Spectrum on he matter. Attica death probe P. 4 — / Movies section — report traces Natural Science and Mathematics’ exacerbating monetary straits over the The last few years. Since the 1969-70 academic year, the instructional load has increased more than 50 percent, inflation for supplies had risen from 50-200 percent while total University support has increased by only about six percent during the last eight years, the report states. It claims that, -while the faculty has made remarkable efforts in the face of a desperate monetary situation, it is essential that the University recognize its exceptional accomplishments and make “commitments to the maintenance of excellence.” When this does not occur, Reitan wrote, “everyone feels a pervasive uncertainty and the absence of confidence concerning the future of every one of the units, and this is everywhere destructive of the morale. 1 believe that in not insignificant degree this is happening.” Mediocrity or worse Chairman of the Chemistry Department Stanley Bruckenstqin told The Spectrum that the University’s fiscal problems have forced his department to maintain obsolete equipment, making faculty less productive significantly. This has engendered a negative attitude leading to an unfortunate self-fulfilling prophesy that the Department is in trouble. “It gets blown out of proportion,” he said, “but people get less interested in University activities. They become more withdrawn into their own personal scholarly shell. They begin to feel that University work won’t be productive, the money isn’t around, so why get involved?

The four course load was put into place by the Faculty Senate in 1969, at a time when universities across the country were loosening control over students’ easing requirements, liberalizing academic careers grading policies and placing faith in students’ self-discipline in learning. The four course load, it was hoped, would allow students to delve deeper into their subjects and would stimulate self-discovery in learning. - But while the Faculty grew increasingly skeptical of the validity of the four course load, the potent StateDivision of Budget' (DOB) raised objections that SUNY Buffalo was being funded too heavily, since faculty here teach fewer courses and generate more credits in the process. Also, SUNY Vice Chancellor for Academic Programs Bruce Dearina had issued a memo to all SUNV units in 1976 strongly urging (hat they adopt the Carnegie Unit as a standard. This increased pressure to abandon the four course load across SUNY, although Binghamton refused to buckle under completely and has yet to adopt the Carnegie Unit.

But student leaders have never been conformable with the Springer report. Delia complained loudly last year that Carnegie Unit condemned Student Association (SA) President Karl the University’s quickening plans to implement the Carnegie Unit system, asserting that other more sophisticated approaches were left unexplored by the Administration because of a lack of initiative. Schwartz, charged that “hours spent in the classroom” is an arbitrary and unreliable indicator of educational value. The Carnegie Unit mandates that one credit be granted for each hour of classroom instruction per week. “There are a lot more relevant approaches that could have been used,” Schwartz said, “and the reason they weren’t is that they’re complex, sophisticated and difficult to grapple with.” “Classroom time is merely the least common denominator,” he continued. “It would be loo much time and loo muqh intellectual effort to come up with a system based Schwartz, has blasted on appropriate criteria,” Schwartz said, speculating for the Carnegie Unit. on why the University opted the Springer Committee. He to delay approval of the document while logistical problems could be studied. Other students warned the Senate that students’ workloads are already overbearing, especially in the hard sciences. And Karl Schwartz. Student Association President this year, has harshly criticized the University’s intentions to go ahead with Springer. (See box this page.) With degree requirements suddenly altered for most students and courses running from two to six credits, academic advisors will probably be in heavy demand next Undergraduate Director of foresaw no special problems dealing with the new mass of confusion.

Departments have been asked to have completed class listings for the fall semester by January 26. But courses that are slated as exceptions to the Carnegie Unit must be approved by a special curriculum committee which will not complete work before the end of the month. I’eradotlo said. Also, whatever courses arise out of the emerging General tducation Plan must be tacked on after the bulk of scheduling is completed. The massive change comes at a time when the University is approaching a number of crossroads in its academic future. The f aculty Senate. which generally sets policy on academic issues will debate and approve some sort of General bducation plan this semester for implementation also in the fall. That plan, still being prepared by the Senate’s General Education Committee, will probably mandate a set of courses in various subject areas designed to give students a broader, more cohesive education. Any new courses that grow out of the General Education Committee work must fit within the Carnegie Unit system. Both General Education and implementation of the Carnegie Unit will take bold within the broader context of Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F.

Last November, Governor Hugh L. Carey authorized the release of the state funds for use by the private Syracuse University, thus sparking a student rally against Carey on November 3 at this University. Umlike the current protest in Syracuse, UB students and faculty were enraged over the appropriation to the private shcool, claiming that the Governor ignored public education here. The move was also labelled a political ploy in that Carey released the funds just prior to election day. Besides the student rally, UB wrestling coach Ed Micheals and others wrote letters critical of the move. The suit charges that the Syracuse Planning Commission acted developers of the dome arbitrarily in allowing the stadium to be zoned in their area. The Commission said construction of the stadium would not alter the present environment and that it was exempt from public hearings since it was not a road or an airport. — - Snarled traffic According to the News Editor of the SU Daily Orange Jacquie Salmon, the platiffs claim that the environment will be altered because of the lack of parking facilities. “They were willing to put up with people parking on their lawns six or seven times a year, but the new stadium is slated for heavier use,” she said. Plans call for the facility to be in operation approximately 55 times per year. Another problem which the plantiffs foresee is massive traffic jams in the area. “The old stadium only seated 27,000 people, and usually the stands were not that crowed. With the new stadium seating 55,000, they expect huge jams after events,” Salmon said. The residents are particularly fearful that emergency cases being transported to the three area hospitals will be delayed in their arrival. “The residents don’t want to chance that happening,” Salmon said. While oral arguments in the case are slated to be heard in State Supreme Court on February 27, the Syracuse University administration is not particularly worried.

According to Attica officials, Negron, 25, was handcuffed and taken directly to the facility’s Special Housing Unit (“the Box”) after throwing a glass jar at officers on duty around 5:30 p.m. on November 9, 1978. However, in a letter which has reached The Spectrum, Negron’s fellow inmate Louis (not his real name) declared, “Negron was not taken directly to the Special Housing Unit. It seems that the officers and he went into a room near the elevator that they fake you up [to the Box] on.” Louis stated, “They had Negron in there for 2'/4 to 3 minutes and he was heard screaming.” The officers in charge stated at the time of Negron's death that no blows were landed during his removal to the Box, either to themselves or Negron. UB awaits verdict in request for budget hike From the start, Louis did not accept or believe the official prison statement. “Among in nates it is common knowledge by Cathy CaHson that an inmate gets unexplainable bruises if anything is done to an officer,” Louis wrote shortly after Negron’s death. He then located a prisoner who was in the Box the night of November 9 when Negron was brought in. Although the specific "declaration is not available, Louis asserts that it is evidence of dirty work by prison guards. “He gave me the rundown,” Louis wrote. “Now it can be said that he [Negron] was definitely beat.” Spectrum Constant security The informant in the Box is afraid, however, to jnake an open statement about what happened to Negron. “He has a long bid [sentence] but has a chance at an appeal and doesn’t Want to blow it,” Louis said. “Besides, he’s afraid of his personal health taking a turn for the worse if he was to make a statement in court,” he added, alluding to commonplace brutality by Attica guards who were renamed “correction officers" in the wake of the bloody September 1971 Grin and ‘bare’ your teeth Are your teeth feeling furry?

A money starved University of Buffalo is anxiously awaiting the state’s decision on its request for a S7.5. million increase in its annual budget. Last year UB received $9 5 million in its budget. The additional requested money covers three main areas: growth for new facilities and programs, strengthening of existing programs, and maintenance of the University’s annually required expenditures. The Executive budget, which will be submitted to the State Legislature by Governor Hugh L. Carey on January 31, is the same one which contains a rumered $100 tuition increase for SUNY students. The University states in its request that inflation is the major determinant sparking UB’s plea for additional funding. According to the 1979-80 Final Budget Request, “Over 29 percent of the requested increase is simply for price increases in areas such as utilities, postage, and telephone . .. this cost, coupled with the cost of salary annualization (another 22 percent), points to the enormous impact that inflation has had upon the University’s budget.” The University’s request for salary adjustment is proportionally large because SUNY Buffalo is a labor-intensive (personnel salaries) organization as opposed to a capital-intensive organization of one that is highly reliant upon mechanized production. - Attica prisoner riots. At 7 p.m. that same night, an officer making the rounds found Negron haneing in his cell with a hedsheet tied around his neck. In an earlier communication, Louis had charged, “If the officers on duty didn’t hang the man, as I suspecMhey did, then they are, at the very least, guilty of Criminally Negligent Homocide.

MALONEY COLLEG Higfilites Staff Writer 26 Save more In its request, while asking for “growth funding,” the Unviersity acknowledges that the rate of growth “has not kept pace with original expectations.” This decline in expected growth could cause a temporary reduction in revenues. To offset this, the budget request proposes increasing UB's savings factor by $600,000. “The savings factor is a set amount of money that is saved when an employee at the University either quits, gets fired, or takes a temporary leave,” explained Acting University Executive Vice President Charles Fogel. “The salary that the position draws is then placed into savings until a replacement is found,” he noted. The University has proposed increasing the number of vacant positions that are kept open thus increasing the University’s savings factor. Fogel explained that this method provides UB with greater flexibility than a budget cut because it allows for a choice of where to save rather than having the State mandate where cuts should be made.

Thus, Gold’s idea of short is 100 year, as contrasted to 100,000 years by the DOE definition. Gold’s recalculation of the amount of long-lived isotopes reveals that there is just as much long- lived as short-lived waste on the NFS site.

The FSA Board of Directors have yet to decide how to spend the remaining half million dollars. But FSA knows what to do with its new computer. It will be used for FSA’s payroll. Food Service’s inventory, and the corporation’s general ledger. FSA Treasurer Len Synder explained at the December 15 Board of Directors meeting that the purchase of a computer would benefit the corporation more, in the long run, than any other alternative. Snyder said, “The cost of renting is too prohibitive. The $1,800 per month rental fee is so high that, in four years, the money spent on renting the computer could be used to purchase it.” The IBM “34” computer has a life expectancy of six to seven years. Snyder noted that the cost of purchasing the computer also includes the interest money which FSA would have earned if the $55,000 had been placed in a savings account. FSA must forfeit any possible interest if the money is to be used for purchases rather than investment. “The recall potential for IBM’s newest conputer is extremely good,” according to Board Chairman and student representative Joe Darcy. “We’ll he able to recoup most of our investment when the conputer no longer meets FSA’s needs [is sold | Darcy and Dennis Black - — UB not viewed co nsisten tly as an educational, cu Itural c enter by Harvey Shapiro ContributingEditor Although UB’s image among local residents has improved from bare hatred in the riotous early VB’s, the townsfolk have still fallen short of openly Supporting the University.

However, the residents’ perceptions of UB apparently has not carried over to local investors and legislators who determine the dangling fate of the Amherst Campus.

When confusion is overseen by poor leadership, there is chaos. It is the latter we are approaching this semester and only a quick turnaround can spare the University from more misery. From the start, Capen Hall knew that this would be a critical year in the University's history; that difficult and important decisions awaited on matters beyond distributing money; and that those verdicts were likely to divide the University even further if confidence could not be maintained in the decision-making process. In short, 1978-79 loomed as a true challenge to the men who run this place. It is a challenge that, collectively, they have failed to meet; and as individuals have lacked the courage to attack, with just a few except ions. The central challenge to leadership in hard times is to create an environment of confidence within which difficult decisions can be made. Locally, this Administration must look to maintain the University's faith in the reallocation process, for example, even though no one is likely to be pleased by the deteriorating product. Yet there is more. In a time when competition leads to chauvinism among units, it is up to leadership to think about the whole, about the future direction of the University as something more esoteric than the sum of its annual reports. And, unlike the are talking about vision again because no one else is. And, unlike the urgency of the moment, the terror of a directionless future will long after soon attack itself to these buildings and remain Robert Ketter is gone. An environment of confidence is not created by allowing established lines of authority to be trampled upon by those with enough cunning and guts, i.e. Carter Pannill vs. the Faculty Senate. It is not created by the stifling of public debate and disagreement within an Administration that is hardly known for its harmony. It is not created in secret conferences with opposing generals, not created by puffy state of the university addresses and not created by sneering at those who would offer a dream now and then to save this place. Within the current environment, confidence in Capen Hall is low enough that we may ask; does anyone know what is going on here? There are strong indications that decisions such as implementing the four course load are drifting into existence through default and not through any direct action. The two chief academic officers were able to devise a scheme that redefined the role of the Undergraduate Dean without anyone knowing about it. Timetables are not kept. Decisions are put off until an issue cools. Recommendations are approved and never implemented. And no one, it seems, knows where we're headed except into the 1980s with an eye on the registration roles. But we are all to blame; some more than others. For this University has accepted poor leadership with the resistance of a leaf in the wind. The future may be just as firm. — — — - The Spectrum Vol. 29, No. 49 Friday, 19 January 1979 Editor in Chief Jay Rosen Managing Editor Denise Stumpo Managing Editor David Levy Art Director Rebecca Bernstein News Editor Daniel S.

This letter is not intended to be an endorsement of any particular piece of legislation. Its purpose is to raise certain questions which, up to this point, have seemed to be ignored by the media. Don Berey Senator finds no objection in law; but we also recognize that the Court is a legal not a moral To the Editor. Court For your quote of the day feature, 1 suggest the line attributed to Mary Jo Long in your recent article on abortion: “Life is a lot more than just some sort of spark in the uterus.” Attorney Long was developing an argument to justify abortion. The concept is that if the a certain prospective parent(s) doesn’t quality of life for the developing fetus, abortion would save a lot of anguish. While this might turn out to be a self fulfilling prophecy, there are some other things the abortion might accomplish loss of a growing person, and the contributions that person will make to society, to name two. Who can decide whose life is not worth living? How can culturally determined bias for a preferred standard of living decide the worth of an individual life? Later in the article. Long is said to have maintained that the question of morality should not enter the issue of chousing an abortion. The apparent justification is that the Supreme Court has decided the issue. But how can morality be dismissed? Many of us who oppose abortion do so on moral grounds. We recognize that the Supreme \ - institution. The Court finds no protection in the Constitution for the rights of the unborn to their lives. Roger Tanney’s Supreme Court of 1854 similarly could not find protection for slaves. Is it possible for the Court to legally right and morally wrong? Who among us today could morally accept the legal Dred Scott decision? 1 hope the Court will eventually find that the Constitution does protect the rights of the unborn. Barring this, I hope that the legislature will amend the Constitution for that purpose, as it responded to the morally abhorrent decision Qf 1 854. There is disagreement in sciientific, religious, and moral circles about when life begins. Apparently, attorney Long believes that this issue has not been resolved to unanimity, it should be ignored, benefit of doubt should not even be given the silent party, and the decision to abort takes precedence over the right to live. Although legal, I am convinced this is wrong. Stephen Walsh tesoinlD discovery. The Army, after serious investigation, has Rob Rotunno . .

The U.S. Army has ordered a crackdown on sexual fraternization between male and female soldiers of different rank because of “an increasing number of incidents of inappropriate relationships.” The 796,000 person army 56,00 of whom are women is quite disturbed by an appalling new Business Manager Bill Finkelstein Backpage . 9 by Daniel S. Parker Campus Kathy McDonough Justice and ‘The Spectrum concluded that men are attracted to women and women are attracted to men. The crackdown on sexual fraternization, which includes “socialization, courting, and marriage,” was undoubtedly sparked after some soldiers were nabbed in the wrong fox’s hole. The Army contends that sexual fraternization is causing serious discipline and morale problems as the role of women in the military grows. Discipline problems I can understand, for, punishment of a subordinate soldier could get quite kinky; but morale problems Imagine those poor, lonely soldiers on their first trip away from home suffering in a New Jersey bootcamp, and having to sleep with a bunch of men. My goodness, yofi never know what one of these men could catch from some enterprising female in a Jersey bar. Then suddenly, with the shake of a rib, a torrent of women are unleashed on these devoted soldiers. (Mind you. these are women interested in pursuing a professional military career, not in search of a meat market.) As a result of this unnatural mix men and women in the same Army a morale problem results? You must be kidding. But the Army’s main concern is that “sexual . „. - - fraternization is seen as a clear distraction and threat to expedient mission accomplishment.” Now depending on the mission, I can certainly see the Army’s overriding concern for national security. If the Soviets discovered how we do it or even worse how we limit it to a “distraction” rather than a pastime, then this nation’s most coveted secrets could be used to the Communist advantage. Up until now, I have assumed that men and women were never sent on missions together. 1 figured that women personnel in the Army fought battles against other women armies, and that men spent most of their time learning how to make hospital comers. Undoubtedly, I was wrong. Unfortunately, the Army has overlooked a more subtle issue. If the men aren’t fooling around with — - the women, then what's really happening? I would never suggest that the U S. Army the most stable representative of American integrity is comprised of a hunch of homosexuals. So in all probability, the - — men in today’s army are lining it themselves. Now if the guys are busy up in bed with their mail-away copy of Mayhoy and the nuclear bomb hits, how are they ever going to be able to fire their guns? Although the Army plans to increase the number of women in uniforms during thfc next five years, this fraternization business has got to come to an abrupt aboutface. If it doesn’t, then the Army better change its television propaganda to include: “We want you as long as you are not a woman.” It is a Kid comment on military morals when the Army starts regulating bedroom behavior.

This problem is largely attributable to a non-functional Amherst Campus. Because of the lack of on space Amherst for vital academic, co-curricular, and recreational activities, students are forced to spend anywhere from 5 to I 5 hours a week riding on buses between campuses. It would serve little purpose at this point to go over in detail the debilitating physical, emotional and intellectual effects this fragmented existence has on undergraduates. It is however, essential to note that it would be a tragic mistake to increase the amount of classes students have to take, before the necessary buildings to hold those classes are constructed. Admittedly, the Springer Report does not officially call for an increase in course- load across the board. But, upon a clear reading of the report one can only conclude that such an increase, ableit a defacto one, will occur for a significant number of students. Currently, an increase in course load for these students will force them to spend a larger portion of their already “overly bused” lives at UB on buses. If the University administration is truly concerned about the less than adequate quality of student life at UB, and more specifically the s|,ppifying effect that continual bus riding has on reported incidents of bizarre extremely high rate of attrition and the severe effect before implementing a plan which the University lacking at this time the necessary physical resources ilan is supposed to benefit. In regard to the plan itself: it is the sincere hope if the Student Association that when “S pnngcr i ie the letter by Ken Pai tnber the credit worthiness of their courses. For instance, the level of sophistication of the subject matter, the expected degree (on the part of the professor) of intellectual effort to be expended in a course, and the expected mastery of critical analysis of a social, artistic, or scientific phenomenon, are all meaningful and relevant criteria, which are justifiable standards (certainly as justifiable as mere time spent in a classroom), for the determination of course credit. It should be noted that time spent, while sometimes reflective of knowledge accumulation, does not address in a sophisticated manner the true mission of a major university center. In summary we would like to stress that the purpose of the Springer Report was to promote a higher quality of education at UB. It is vitally important that the University administration does not lose sight of that goal in the implementation process. It is our strong feeling that implementation at this time would have such a devastating effect on overall student welfare that it would be in the best interests of the entire University community to postpone such implementation. < Am her additional million $45 neede J to aised deprieve students at Syracuse of a needed stn 4, While the domed stadium Is being constnucted (if it ever is) at Syracuse, the SU football teamn will play two games at Rich Stadium on the same dates i as UB home football games.

Molly had an abortion; Jane gave her baby up for adoption; Susie kept her child. That same year John broke his leg skiing. Patty nearly died of a drug overdose. Jim, a heavy smoker, came down with emphysema. Sarah twisted her ankle on a rock-climbing expedition. On his way home from a beer blast, Joe fell off his bike and suffered a concussion. Whut do these hypothetical UB students have in common? All of them can be reimbursed for at least part of their medical expenses by the student health insurance plan. But what about Bill, who neither drinks, smokes nor trips, who never engages in hazardous sports, and who cannot become pregnant? It may seem unfair that he is asked, to pay for the sins and errors of others. And yet Bill probably could not. obtain an individual health insurance policy for a comparable price. He might even find such insurance difficult to obtan if a condition such as diabetes ran in his family. The point about group health insurance is that costs are reduced by pooling the risks in a large Such group of people. insurance must be comprehensive ideally, it should cover all needed medical care. And it should be morally and medically neutral, allowing the patient and physician to choose the best course of treatment in each particular case. After all, if we could predict our medical expenses, most of us would not need insurance.

An open letter to whomever will take the responsibility for the food vending machines on the third floor of Squire Hall; Time enough has passed that allows me to write' this letter. I have been burned, ripped-off, and frustrated too many times. The one armed, push-button, bandits that you call a vending machine have suckered me for the last time. Specifically', I refer to the machines that are located on the third floor of Squire Hall. These machines are supposed to sell food, coffee, or candy to students at a reasonable price. Ha!!! Today I deposited twenty cents in the coffee machine to get a cup of hot chocolate. Not to my surprise, it sent me a cup of water that wasn’t even hot. Being ever so bold, and with no other recourse, I switched machines deciding to try my luck at getting a container of orange juice. Palms all sweaty in anticipation of what was to come, a feeling overtook me that I have experienced only once before in my life, and that was in Las Vegas. Pressing the button that distinctly said, “Orange Juice” with a firm index finger, I prayed that I would get my drink. Ah, but fate would' not be so kind to me. While my most repressed fear that nothing would come out of the machine did not come true. I did find that the machine, with mind of its own, decided to give me a container of apple juice. “Beware the Jahbcrwock.” admonishes Kipling (sic) in his famous poem. “Beware the vending machine,” I admonish my fellow students.

Let us, the poor and wretehed that you so mercilessly prey upon, know who you are. Recently, I have become extremely annoyed by the inconsistency of law enforcement displayed by the University Police. I always believed that the rules and regulations that everyone on campus must follow were to be followed by the Police themselves. Why then is it not uncommon to see a University Police car run a stop sign or park anywhere they feel like when it is not an emergency, the lights and/or siren not on? I believe the University Police should park in the same lots as everyone else when not on patrol in the cars. Maybe after not being able to park they will realize why people sometimes park the way they do. Also, why are the University service vehicles allowed to park on the side road to Governors while they eat Junch inside? Maybe, they too should try to park in the parking lot. I have never heard of or seen a University vehicle receive a ticket for illegal parking during a lunch break. The laws were established to be followed by all without preferential treatment to any. Philip Dinhnjer Richard Foretek countless that occur daily. In my case, I was lucky to get the cup let alone the water or the apple juice container. Think of all the countless souls that get nothing at all. Has any student ever found a machine with a “bent coin” release button that has worked? Hell no! How many of us will allow ourselves to get no change on a twenty cent item when. we have deposited a quarter? How many of us will follow those insane directions that are carefully printed on each machine? The ones that tell you to write here, or call there to get your refund of a quarter.

Stand, last. . wBt * \ �» The poetry of new visions Into new territory: Baraka Dorn brought heat and power to Allentown evening Southside Johnny,Asbury Jukes put another nickel in c z , by Michael F. Hopkins by It was Friday, December 8, in Buffalo, New York. Outside the Allentown Community Center, the damp chills of pre-winter December reflected much of the moods people in this reality embrace. Some feel that pneumonia is inevitable, while others feel that precipation means to wet one’s own feet with egotism. What is the wisdom of indiscrimate waste? This was answered with the annihilating freshness of poet Imamu Amiri Baraka, and his soliloquy told of a growing Black fertility where no trash could survive. The Allentown Community Center became a focus for a black man's verba) herbs. Artistry, the uninhibited say. In Baraka’s rapid fire-tongued poetics, the stormy weather and basic wisdom of Black centuries facing glory and extinction confronted each other, and the deadly accuracy of his verse spoke of the insistency of living to enact a better world for us all. SaSa This harbinger of 60’s Black World Awareness drew his versatility from rich traditions of visceral expressiveness, highly monosyllabic manipulation of wordless sound intensity emanating from pursed lips deep-throated with gifts and messages. Afro-American, musing. The gifts told of the high-screaming tenderness jazzman John Coltrane brought us, or grimly stuttered with the stupor of junkies in the cold heal of death raptures. The traps can bury deep within ourselves, as Baraka demonstrated via poems dealing with the tension-tossed madness of everyday life: a person caught in that age-old trick of waiting for death to lift one’s burdens, or another caught in the outdo-yo-fellow-death-binge via disco hip-notism. Others get turned on by timely politicans and the chance to wave funky revolution like a flag in the face of their daily bull (Tell it about revolution, those who are blind to their own changes). This night bowed to Baraka the world beat, tempos Harold Goldberg Two Thursdays ago, at the Shea’s Theater, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes proved to be somewhere between a stereotype and an ideal in rock V roll. Closer to an ideal, quite probably. First, I want to write you why I didn’t review the J. Ceils (top-billed) portion of the show. I believe that band is past its prime in rock V roll, washed up. Sadder than this is the idea that people think the band is still good. And the ultimate sadness is that they’re failing apart and don’t know enough to break up. I didn’t want to see their set. I didn’t. Now the Jukes’ music is rather simple, but they erect an enormous wall of sound, feeling the call ofenergy first popularly evinced a few years ago in a live network radio broadcast. Later, in 76, live at Buffalo State’s Moot Hall, they were a little too manipulative as a party band in a night club-ish arena, but the reaction was gleeful. Because they played to a college audience, it was difficult to discern how the Jukes would appeal to the masses. Since the Jukes were a regional act, a New York-New Jersey hand, the hype of New York critics and whatever stigma there is to being aided by Bruce Springsteen did not help their credibility but did sell the name. Po«t activitl Imamu Amiri Baraka The Black Awareness of Straight Truths telling and filled with the fury of Gentleness aroused. Baraka was preceded by poet Edward Dorn, whose outward calm belied the tension of his oratory and subject material quite effectively, running from Red China to Geronimo and more. The correlating contrasts in Dorn’s approach served as an interesting warmup for Baraka. The evening’s offerings say you and I are worth investing the awareness of our own energies into the open constructiveness of feeling. Love to build. Understand, Love. No more Mao All this moving against or for them, depending on your point of view, they nearly transcended the labels, because the better part of the audience Thursday night didn’t seem to know the Jukes' history, the Jukes were playing in the world, not in a section of Jersey or for a predominantly City audience. They were exporting their product. Opium had hit China, melting everyone’s red star pin. Southside rose up and smashed against the crowd like a clear, light Coney Island breaker hitting clean Lake Erie sand. The music was tight, the singing loose for the most part, the audience properly fousecf. Miami Steve Van Zandt’s fingers picked at neat, quick little solo riffs throughout the show, which is usual, and the lyrics Southside’s voice pecked at were lucid. Strange thing. His voice was so powerful that, at times, he seemed to have taken lessons from Tom Jones’ Live in Las Vegas record. This is a compliment, sort of. But during "Fever,’’ begun by a dramatic keyboard twist, Southside’s maw echoed notes good and rough because he was excited. Ropeye, Swee’ Pea; no Bruce The keyboard thing unsettled me. Kevin Kavanaugh isn’t a At The Wilkeson Pub Saturday, January 20 Sound System All Night bad keyboardist but the arrangements gave him room for solos with little room for improvisation, much like the electric keyboards in the middle of Manfred Mann’s version of "Blinded By The Night.” The space Kavanaugh fit into was just tod contrived, even for pop. I mean, you always knew when Popeye was going to open some spmach can with a firey pipe, but you didn’t always know where the can of spinach would come from. With Kavanaugh, you knew too well. Some of the gig was typical. Southside hung around Miami Steve’s neck like a pet albatross in a show of camaraderie during "We’re Havin' A Party’’ (with which the band usually ends its set). And the hommen danced hard uncoordinated rhythm, also a standard of the Jukes band. And Johnny small-talked song about the weather during “I Don’t Wanna Go Home." “Even though it’s five below in Buffalo, I don’t wanna go home.” It rhymes, you see. The audience enjoyed it, though. And the reggae version of this tune somehow fit with the Buffalo rock crowd, probably because the rock song’s rhythmic inflections and the meter mixed With reggae so well. The sound was good enough where you wouldn’t expect it to be: you could distinguish Billy Rush’s rhythm guitar bouncing chords to the drummer during "Talk To Me," even while the horns brassed it up. Open at 9:00 pm I think Southside Johnny’s animated stage presence really made it for the crowd some even danced. Come to think of it, Southside Johnny has some of that Popeye karma.

He always used his abilities, even at great personal sacrifice, in the service of those moral stances he saw as necessary in our capitalist society.

The current version is entities ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers.' Invasion of Body Snatchers' An ode to the original COMING TO BUFFALO by Ross Chapman More often than not, remakes are coarse copies deserving only scorn and censure. Remakes tend to try and do original films one better by exploiting all the technology unavailable to their marring thus predecessors, themselves with graphic explication pursued for its own sake. By transplanting the original into contemporary soil when it could only thrive in its own peculiar, temporal clime, a remake finds itself either out of synch with its own time or false to the original’s time. Thus, when I heard that a remake of Don Siegal’s quasi-classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers was in the works, I was touched with a certain measure of trepidation. But, I am pleased to report, Philip Kaufman’s remake is not only not a cheap replica of the original, but in fact is much better. The original, a tawdry sci-fi melodrama, managed to transcend its B-grade status by providing a timely metaphor: alien pods which produce copies of people who then take over. But though this rescued Don Siegal's film from obscurity, it never fully realized itself, tacking on (for one thing) a happy-ending epilogue that blunted the film’s paranoia. COLLEGE B — The Body Indeed, the original Snatchers is something like the pod-boiodies in the film: it shows roughl similarities to the incipient possibilities which made the film noteworthy but lacks detail and falls short of full development. Kaufman’s remake, on the other hand, .comes to complete and terrifying life on the Holiday Theater's giant, curved screen rearing above the audience, inciting an awful, relentless paranoia. Personality and paranoia In the fifties, our national feeling of alienation was not yet developed. fully Many still “believed” in God, in country, in Our Way of Life. Twenty years later, the world has been made alien (alienated, get it?) and is now populated by pods or by disillusioned people soon-to-be pods. This metaphor of the pod has a special appeal for me: I have often felt as if I were alone in a crowd of pod-people moving to the strains of some retched tune I can’t bear listening to. But one needn't share my feeling of angst to appreciate Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The new BodY Snatchers is an omnivorous film: it feeds on a wide variety of fears. It serves nicely as a diatribe on many things we (quite rightly) loathe and feel threatened by: — — out of control technology crushing us with its indifferent efficiency, pollution piling up, nuclear playthings proliferating, alien things in our food, hypnosis by homogeneity television, enforced by tyranny, Pol Pot, and ultimately, the death of individuality. Fundamentally, this is what Body Snatchers is about: the death of personality. The mush about the supreme value of love and emotion in Siegal’s film is played down in Kaufman’s version. The paranoia he taps is much more pervasive and much more frightening; the accomplishment of an orderly, "just” society by means of individual replacement fails to be warranted not because it is the death of heterosexual love and the family unit in favor of some icy social unit, but because it destroys that something of real value ineffable . something which separates us, one from the other, and makes us each unique. Siegal shows us people without movieland .romance and expects us to see them as alien beings which I balk at. Kaufman’s orderly, social pod-people, on the other hand, are aliens, that is, we don’t see them as cold-shouldered people. We see beings who are demonstrably not human.

It deals with loneliness and the sometimes destruclive relationsh ip between mothers and The image of autumn refers to the circumstance of the story in which a woman in her late fifties or so is forced to confront her grown daughter and to reflect upon her failure as a parent. The daughter receives some consolation and insight from the meeting, but the mother remains unchanged. Ingrid Bergman and Liv Ullman give outstanding performances as the mother and daughter. Throughout his long career, Bergman has often examined the effects of family relationships. Upon those relationships prove more corrosive and destructive than supportive, but, even so, they can ultimately provide wisdom and some strength to the individuals involved. In his recent film Scenes From a Marriage, a couple goes through a divorce in which they inflict great pain upon one another. In the end, however, they achieve some reconciliation as they realize their long years of marriage have left them tied to one another by a shared knowledge and a sense of pleasant associates, including veteran actors Halva Bjork, Gunnar Bjornstrand, Ertand josephson and the extraordinary Cameraman Sven Nykvist. Nykvist’s camera work and the interweaving of flashbacks, which are largely wordless, keep the structure from seeming merely like a play being photographed. This is a purely cinematic experience. Keyboard competition Merely to describe the first of the two big scenes is to reveal the extent of the achievement of the film. The mother persuades the daughter to play a Chopin Prelude on the piano. The daughter, in the of her adoring husband, proceeds to play the piece very woodenly. While she does, the camera rests mostly on Ingrid Bergman’s face. With only her eyes and facial expressions, she moves from polite boredom to pain, to derision, and finally to a sense of triumph, knowing how much better than her daughter she will always play. Mother then performs the piece with quiet presence brilliance while daughter sits next to her in painful helplessness. Again the camera remains still, taking in the triumphant mother and her devastated child. The camera and the actors, more than the words spoken, carry the -intent of the scene. Bergman has brought together all the elements of his medium to create a stunning prelude,for the crucial scene to follow, in which the daughter drags up the past and reveals the mother for the selfish and destructive person she really is. When the mother begs for some relief, the daughter has no succor to offer. Bergman symbolizes this impasse by cutting in shots of the invalid sister upstairs calling for her mother but remaining unheard. Autumn Sonata will probably make more sense to those familiar with Ingmar Bergman’s earlier work, but should'be seen anyway because it is an outstanding film achievement. And, it is good to see Ingrid Bergman once again performing in a challenging role befitting her enormous talent. Superman' falls Read the omic) book instead by familiarity. Generation gaps In Autumn Sonata, there is no reconciliation, for the experience of parenthood has been uncomfortable for both mother and daughter. The confrontation between the two only leaves them with a vague sense of regret that things can’t be different between them. The action occurs in a single fall day and night, but there are numerous flashbacks which bring past and present together in the consciousness of the main characters. The daughter, unsure of her motives, invites her mother to her home in rural Norway to recover from the recent death of the mother’s longtime companion. The mother, a successful concert pianist, is equally unsure of her reasons for visiting her daughter, except that they haven’t seen one another in seven years. Nor does the mother know that her other daughter, who suffers from a crippling nervous disease, is also staying at the house. The presence of the invalid, who cannot control her voice or movements, is an early warning of the painful unfolding of the story. The bulk of the movie consists of two major scenes: the first in which the old wounds are opened, and the second in which the daughter brings up deeply held resentments against her mother. Only a great director and great performers could sustain such a film in which there are only two major scenes, but Bergman and actresses Bergman and UUmann are equal to the challenge. They are all vastly talented artists working at the peak of their ability and assisted by the director’s company 'Of talented - • Dirty Louers of Paris 10:21 Late show Friday & Sat.

Bathers beware. * � Walking past the perfume counter in AM&As, I suddenly realize (and not without a certain sinking sensation) that "Windsong" has indeed stayed on my mind. • * * For the past couple of months, Channel 17 has been airing a British comedy serial entitled The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin which was shown every Friday just before that show of shows, Monty Python’s Flying Circus. And initially, this was the serial's only attraction for me: it was a warm-up act that primed me for Monty Python. But after a few episodes, I grew very fond of the program and began to look forward to it with considerable anticipation. Beautifully written by David Nobbs, The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin starred Leonard Rossiter, an energetic comic actor who realized almost singlehandedly all the comic possibilities of the scenario. Reggie is a minor executive who becomes bored with his job and his marriage, begins to act eccentrically, and leaves his old life to begin anew unsuccessfully, however. As a final snub to society, he opens a “Grot" shop in which he sells absolutely useless rubbish at high prices (ashtrays with no bottoms, cruet sets with <>o holes, and pianos with no keys). The shop is a huge success and soon he is a tycoon piloting a large chain of “Grot" shops, that is, until he once again becomes bored. Rossiter’s Reggie Perrin is hilariously askew, rapidly firing out an endless barrage of off-color and always colorful remarks. Reggie is a wound-up cord of the nervous energy of a middle-aged man trying desperately not to become a middle-aged frump mired in the mud of the seventies. Indeed, The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin itself manages to rise out of the contemporary muck by slinging it at us. If you didn’t catch this one, do so. Channel 17 is bound to repeat it later in the year. - � * � John Boy, Grandma, Grandpa, Mary Ellen’s husband, and now Olivia have all been written out of The Waltons' script as each died, quit, or contracted some noteworthy illness. I wonder what the show’s inventive writers will do when the show is finally depleted of actors? Ill wager that they’ll have the program’s rustic narrator (forever gripped with fictional nostalgia) reminiscing about ‘‘those dark days daring the Second tyorld War when an outbreak of the Bubonic plague killed everyone in the hushed, mist-laden forests of Walton’s mountain” while we watch, for an hour (with commercials), the deserted clapboard house as chickens scurry about in the garden overgrown with weeds looking for chicken feed that isn’t there anymore. � � Having it all his way � Steve Forbert arrives on the sunny side of life Steve Forbert, Alive on Arrival (Epic) On Alive On Arrival, Steve Forbert thinks he’s achieved the perfect explanation for human "down and out’’ emotion by tempering it with common sense Because philosophy. this gravelly-voiced pop folk singer is so innately optimistic about the bright side of the seedy places he's been, and he dreams about those places as being in the present, there’s some good old irony trying to poke through. Still, it’s plain old irony, the usual stuff, though he must be admired for his hopefulness in the face of numb people with or at least sentimentality, Forbert sees the scum of day-to-day living as just a way to praise the possibilities of the future. For the duration of Alive On Arrival, if there’s a somewhere in dreams, it’s got to be over the rainbow where at the end there's no pot of gold, just a man sitting, thinking about independence. With a guitar sounding tike a tuned rubber band on "What Kinda Guy?” Forbert sings himself out opened doors and away from drugs and sluts when the glare was gloom or when I was sick or when I was bored silly and simply had nothing else to do. I supposed that I’d come to associate these depressing circumstances and afternoon television: a conditioned response, one might say. But I had occasion to watch TV in broad daylitfit during the recess for no other reason than idle curiosity. Now I’m given to wonder whether it isn’t afternoon itself that is depressing: blithering soap dramas trussed in webs of sexual-marital trauma, starring nameless actors who look, right down to the last man, woman, and child, as if they just strolled in out of a deodorant or creme rinse commercial; screaming game shows featuring celebrities you never wanted to celebrate, who pun and leer with quizmasters, displaying capped teeth; and talk shows whose talk is not worth the electricity it takes to keep the volume turned up, featuring celebrities you never wanted to celebrate who pun and leer with hosts who have capped teeth and so on and so forth. All this and detergent commercials too! Perhaps my original analysis was incorrect. Perhaps it is watching afternoon television that has caused me to associ'ate gloomy days, bad health, and ennui with depression!

His one Terranian ancestor (Ra’s claim is of the Angelic race) was a violinist, and Sun Ra has the sensitive ear of that ancestor. Add to this a very healthly regard for Duke Ellington the pianist, a very high admiration for the Big Band father Fletcher Henderson (Henderson gave Ra his first big gig), and the intrepidity of generations of Blackness here and beyond seeking to build freedom (not throw cliched liberation in tha wind), and we have the inimitible Sun Ra. With his Arkestra, a very superb and dedicated ensemble of musicians that carries the early )azz concepts (New Orleans) of collective improvisation into the opening tonalities that capped the Freedom movements of the musical 60’s, Sun Ra does it all. Sweet rhapsodies, ripping ragtime, swirling ballads carrying the message of timeless African druml bold boogie, and the surprise of drawing the next breath: there is virtually nothing that Sun Ra will not try in bringing the myth of Black Culture into full-blooming reality. Note, please, that Blackness is no more about the skin-peddling racism of this planet than Battlestar Galactla is original. We Are About The Infinite Potential of Caring, Ourselves and Each Other, we must be aware of our legacy, shine and shame alike. In this, there's Ra’s newest release of the Saturn label (now available in all Buffalo record outlets). The Sound Mirror runs the Magicks down hard! The title tune leaps joyfully, like a great Watusi rituaf full -of flutes, deep baritones, and precussion cooking a most powerful brew of Truth.

Onaje runs from Hancock blue noting to harp play at given points, and the space Woody gives everyone and himself to come together is the mark of a true leader.

Most people are familiar with the poly-chromatic spectrum which will metamorphose any scene viewed through this crystal filter. Inept application of that prism will reveal the same scene which would be seen if a plain pane of glass were employed instead. But these two alternatives are extreme opposites in the range of possibilities. Between lie the views of reality seen through the prism when it is twisted and turned to create a whole kaleidoscope of images, each shifting and shimmering into the next. Whenever experience is mediated, seen through one filter or another, it is transformed into a version of reality different from the experience itself. The filter becomes as much a part of the reality as is the primary experience. Manipulation of the prism becomes invention. History, or historical accounts, is often accepted in our secular age as having the kind of absolute authority that once was invested only in divine texts, such as the Bible or the Koran. The events which history relates are accepted as having happened exactly as the history tells it. Seldom is the historian himself or his values examined to see what part they have played in determining the version of the event which they tell. Yet history, like-journalism, and like literature, tells a story about an event, and each history tells only one version of the event, is only one view through the prism. Gary Wills’ Inventing America: lelferson’s Declaration of Independence is a fresh wielding of the prism upon one of the institutionalized myths of American history: Thomas Jefferson, particularly his role in writing that seminal text of the American heritage, the Declaration of Independence. While historians have debated and will continue to debate the validity of Wills’ interpretation.it remains undeniable that he has thrown a rock into the stagnant pool which has characterized our national notion of Jefferson for more years than it would be kind to remember. While he has disturbed our placidity, it is anticipated that his book and the discussions of it which will follow, will prod us into new insights, into recognizing that history is invention and not absolute and unalterable fact. Wills’ own perception is' that multiple perspectives are available to us from which to read history, and each determines where historians place their emphasis. Thus, in his “Plan of the Book,” he states, “I thus distinguish the Declaration of Congress (which is mainly political) from the Declaration of Jefferson (which is philosophical in the eighteenth century sense, that is, scientific) and from our Delcaration (which is symbolic; the thing we have shaped even as it was shaping us).” In this last clause lies the key to Wills’ innovation: the which in turn creates us as we now are. The organizational paradigm which Wills enunciates makes clear that the Declaration can be viewed as a trinity of sacred texts each dependent upon a system of values. There is the document which Jefferson devised; the version amended and adopted by Congress and the notion of?the text which we revere today, but only in the abstract; the same text which modern Americans, when confronted by it concretely in parking lots by pollsters, reject as an incendiary piece of propaganda. Wills’ pluralistic presentation allows us to examine the underlying values of these several documents and the historical perspectives which validate one or the other. Though historians have subsequently argued over the accuracy of his scholarship, and sone of the inferences which he has drawn from his research, Wilts’ major departure from the critical canon csm /lilecail Jefferson is his insistence that Jefferson’s philosophical sources for his Declaration was not John Locke’s treatises on government, but a surrounding group of Scottish moral philosphers including Thomas Reid, Adam Smith, Dugald Steward, France Hutcheson and Henry Karnes. The significance of this, besides being the sort of erudite quibbling which for textual scholars passes for a raison d’etre is that it disassociates the Declaration from the English liberal tradition and locates its values in a moral and mathematical, not political, science. Interesting too are the differences not only between Jefferson’s document and the one ratified by Congress, but between the values which Jefferson’s document revealed and those of his assumed source, Locke. As a consequence of this reorientation, it is possible to view Jefferson not as a romantic individualist, but as a man with a belief in the necessity of Social cohesion. This, in large part, is Wills’ inference from Jefferson's omission of property as an inalienable right. In short, history is as much teller as tale, and should be examined for its own values as well as being accepted as truth, which is never simple* * * * AntL for the new year, new books at the UGL: Final Payments by Mary Gordon; Sex, Class, and Culture by Lillian Robinson; Hate Don't Make no Noise; Anatomy of a New Ghetto by Etta Revesz; and Television, The First Fifty Years by Jeff Greenfield.

The townspeople, with their united and unquestioning devotion to country, family, and decency, were all pods to begin with (and perhaps this is Siegal's central irony). No, it was the pod’s threat to religion, and monoganjy, patriotism and not to individuality that made then* awful in the eyes of Kevin McCarthy, the protagonist of the earlier film. But in San Francisco, in the proverbial Big City, where disorder and disunion are notorious, it is indeed the pods’ collectivity that makes them different and it is the price of this collectivity the individual that makes this personality difference an inhuman one. - - Entropy and collectivity The remake of Body Snatchers not only survives its transplant to the San Francisco of the seventies, it flourishes there the way it never did in Siegal’s non-descript Anytown, U.S.A.

Available to Kaufman are an array of special effects (and the money to pay for them) Siegal never had and Kaufman lakes full but not excessive advantage of them. The emergence of the replicas, squirming and steaming into the night air from inside their swollen pods, is light-years ahead of Siegal’s treatment and is truly terrifying. The man-faced dog and the disintegration of Brooke Adams’ body in the arms of Donald Sutherland are superb. But I wonder if the careful explication of the mechanism of replication doesn’t deprive the remake of the original's (Siegal, if you mysticism. remember, never shows how the prods dispose of the original bodies.) from page 16 . Forbert moves to a controlling position upfront with neat, jaunty harmonica inflections always assisting thyidea of his carefree personality. Now, a lot of folks in this par! of New York State are saying Forbert’s melodies are extremely pop for a folky (someone even said he’s the Nick Lowe of Folk). This is ingenious if planned by the singer because the pretty melodies arc basic pumps deep Nevertheless, down, (and pimps) for the lyrics. While Forbert must know that his songs the tunes, which never use all the sound like big brother/sister to scale notes in a particular song, little brother/sister raps. Probably are bright and perky, they are feeling the beauty of such a folky sustaining subdued, the tradition, Forbert must feel he’s inscrutable idea that it’s Forbert struck a winning blow. I mean, he who’s always the leader. You appeals to your sense of a strong, want to look up to Steve friendly family, whether it’s the your brother, and even Forbert, laud his family of the world or the nuclear rehashed repetitious philosophy family. Not many can resist that. because of his uncanny musical And fook how the music vitality. Even when Forbert leans reinforces all this illusion of toward sobering reality bordering esteem for Forbert.

As a soloist, takes over as words of wisdom. - page 14 His rhythm section is excited, booming with anticipation, his guitarist is strumming, hard, with strings the punishing testimony of optimism. Forbert can walk happily on, playing his harmonica in a sort of Pied Piper victory. Holding back the pop/folk band because it’s nearly high gloss stuff is a wily choice. If the band was upfront, it would have signalled sente trashy, unbelievable, vulnerability on Forbert’s part. Forbert remains somewhere the in between comedy character of Leave It To Beaver's big brother Wally and the unpretentious reverence of The Walton's )ohn-Boy. But Wally can’t get work today because he was stereotyped and Johh-Boy quit because he felt constrained in his role and stereotyped. Maybe Forbert can think about that while he’s dreaming up nuances to cliches. Alive On Arrival is OK, but you can only take so much of the same thing. -Harold Goldberg Even the origin and transit of the seeds arc shown, ravishingly to be sure, but. I wonder, if fortuitously. Instead of Siegal’s bolt out of the blue (conjuring up mythological references from our Christian and pagan pasts), we have a cool, logical, and lovely overture. We accept; we expect. We are not surprised, confused, or wondering. While I believe this is so, I’m reluctant to offer it as a criticism. Kaufman worked under the justified premise that everyone had already seen or at least heard of the original. (Indeed, Kaufman included both Kevin McCarthy and Don Siegal in his film as an inside jolse.) Perhaps the graphic explication is necessary because mysticism is no longer possible. \Vhether or not this is a fault, Kaufman’s remake is big on paranoia but weak on mystery quite the opposite of the original. - Superman' The makers of Superman have also made another unwise choice: they have tried to appeal to too many people. The movie is a spinoff of everything that’s currently or recently in vogue. The opening scenes of the planet Krypton are larded over with deep philosophizing to make the picture ‘'meaningful”. They borrow camp scenes and dialogue from the Batman television series. There references to are phonebooths and fifties culture for the trivia and nostalgia buffs. The art work, especially the of Krypton, reconstruction resembles that of Star Wars and even the shots in back of the opening titles seem right out of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Further, there are obvious borrowings from the disaster films of recent years. Typical of the overkill is the waste of a fine actor like Trevor Howard in a cameo role. A star is born Christopher Reeve is wooden as Superman, and one suspects that the director did not just plan it that way. Hollywood has again opted for a lookalike rather than a talent, and Reeve is simply camp rather than an actor playing camp. Margot Kidder does somewhat better as Lois Lane, especially in her early scenes where she gives a hip update to the character played in the earlier television serial by the pleasaht Noel Neill. Gene Hackman plays evil Lex -continued from page . . 15— . with gusto. The writers have stolen a page out of the Batman comics and made the villain comic rather than serious, although his plot is appropriately dastardly for the Superman tradition. Hackman is ably assisted by Ned Beatty and Valerie Perrine as his incompetent but likeable sidekicks. Luthor Although I reacted generally in a negative way to Superman at the screening I attended, the children sat totally enrapt and they all cheered in the second half of the movie when the action really began. One perhaps needs to be thirteen or younger to relate to this update. The special effects are well designed and executed, and all the references to Star Wars and disaster films are part of today’s youth culture. It may be that only youngsters can truly appreciate this flick as only young people can really appreciate the Superman of comics and television. The current attempt to sell Superman to adults has not succeeded. Filmmakers will have to look elsewhere for the stuff of adult mythology. WORK STUDY STUDENTS Tired of your present job?

He hopes the new curriculum will provide students with the “best preparation for professional and schools or direct graduate entrance into a vocation.” With this in view, two new professors, Laurence Ross and Gloria Heinemann, were added to the department last semester.

Rohatyn down Special to The Spectrum conservatives whose economic notions are Alice in Wonderland. All this may seem a little strange. But it should not be surprising when we look at how (PNS) New York As we begin final year of the “Me Decade,” everyone seems to agree what an undramatic, uneventful and unchallenging time the 1970’s have turned out to be. But after coping for three years with the national problems, and downright follies, that prey not just on New JYork City, but on communities all over the country, I don’t see things that way. - the America, 1 am convinced, is on the brink of a national crisis just as severe as the fiscal crisis which New York, in its former arrogance and complacency, never saw coming back in 1975. We may luxuriate in apathy. But we live in unusual, confusing times, and bizarre things are happening. Consider the sad pass to which our national political debate has come in so many vital areas: Washington proposes to save the dollar by selling off our gold and to control inflation by a “guaranteed-to-be-mild” recession. We can balance the budget, we are told, by increasing defense spending while cutting back on the poor and the cities, even though the decay of urban America could be more explosive than Soviet ambitions. We begin our negotiations with the oil producing countries, which have already bankrupted the western world, with the proposition that a further seven percent price increase would be modest and only make up for the erosion of the dollar which the OPEC nations eroded in the first place. a theological Meanwhile argument takes place among economists (who, together with dermatologists, never seem to solve anybody’s problems but always travel first class) as to whether we are headed for a mild or a rolling readjustment, or stagflation, or anything as long as it doesn’ sound serious and frighten anybody. Then there is Howard Jarvis whose Proposition 13 is as effective a weapon to deal with our problems as a neurosurgeon operating with a meat axe acclaimed in Washington as a modem Moses down from the mountain with the tablets. Just as in 1960’s all truth and wisdom was supposed to reside in that segment of our recession - us to we elect our our leaders, by self-styled government and how once elected, then govern How can a democracy produce serious leadership when the voters don’t take the democratic choice of their leaders seriously? COontempt for the vote In the last election, almost two out of three people of voting age did not exercise their franchise. The 37 percent of the people dragging themselves to the polls were sold candidates the way Proctor Gamble sells detergents, & through TV commercials. With opinion polls telling the candidates what the voters wanted to hear, a minority of the electorate gives power, with few exceptions, to men and women who follow rather than iead„ Today, despite our great wealth and even greater apathy, we face great dangers and uncertainties. Our economy is out of control, our currency is in danger, our institutions "of government unresponsive or inept. We tend constantly to forget that our national wellbeing depends much more on whether we can make our system work than on the size of our cruise missile or the killing range of the neutron bomb. This means controlling inflation for the housewife in Columbus, providing education and employment for the young black in Harlem, and providing a hard dollar for the gnome in Zurich. We are, by any standard, the richest country in the world. Yet we squander our resources, and our proud democratic heritage, with contempt in the way we abdicate our responsibility to vote, contempt in. the way we go about our way of life, contempt in our acceptance of mediocre leadership. Commitment is not fashionable these days. Cool is the order of the day. Today, men with blood thin as water flaunt their passions as cold as ice. Turning the corner But commitment is not yet a museum piece. We have learned that, the hard way, in New York the over past three years. Commitment saved New York City from a bankruptcy to which it had been led by many cool and sophisticated people. New York did not go down because we would not let it. because we willed it not to. At a time of visible, palpable crisis people rallied around private citizens and politicians, Democrats and Republicans, union leaders and bankers first, with a program to stem the tide, second with a program to rebuild the foundation, third with a program for recovery. Recovery may still be a long way off, but we have turned the corner and laid the foundation. America at the beginning' of 1970 is not so different from New York Cit in 1975. The similarities, in fact, are rather striking: ‘America as a whole is relying on increasing deficits, internal and external, year after year, and them over with papering accounting gimmicks, in order to sidestep politically difficult national decisions; ‘America as a whole is borrowing more and more money to finance those deficits (N.Y. used short term notes, the U.S. is Arab oil money), while ‘The whole country is losing private sector jobs, the way New York once did, driving them out with taxes and low high productivity. ‘And the nation is continuing to absorb large numbers of illegal immigrants at a time of high unemployment. War with inflation In the face of such problems, New-York was asked to prepare a comprehensive, today? The truth is that we are at war today just as much as we were at war with racial prejudice during the civil rights movement, or at war over the morality of our - policy and government Indochina during the conflict and Watergate. We are at war today with inflation, with unemployment, foreign ethics of education with discrimination. Furhtermore, in spite of all the talk and complacency, we are not winning.

Is it too much to ask the nation to do the same thing left as from the right. New York City found itself at war and put in motion the equivalent of a wartime austerity and program coalition government. A coalition national government should manage a simiilar program for America. The hour is very late, almost as late for the U.S. as it was for New York in 1975. In the city, we fought against fiscal bankruptcy; iri the nation today, we must fight a far more pervasive and subtle kind of bankruptcy. Can a democracy only find leadership, nobility of purpose and sacrifice when the crisis has already struck, when events already have started over the brink of disaster? Or are we capable of rising to our best in times when the crisis is only dimly perceived, when intelligent action now can save us so much grief later? The answer will determine whether these will be remembered as the years “nothing happened,” or the time Americans acted before it was too late. Editors not: Felix G.

The pace was erratic, with both teams committs. The Royals tried to run on Gannon early. Robin Dulmage, the 5-2 freshman guard, led the UB fast break.. The Royal’s tried to feed Lilley inside but were stymied by the tough Gannon defense. It was a see-saw half as the lead changed hands many times. A Nesbit jumper early, and UB led 27-26. The lead, UB’s last, was shortlived. In the next nine minutes Gannon outscored Buffalo 23-8, and took an insurmountable 49-25 lead with ten minutes left. Nesbit and center Kathy Hummer were the dominant factors in the spurt. Nesbit rarely missed from outside, and the few times she did. Hummer was there to clean up inside. The waning moments of the match resembled “garbage time.” Gannon’s lead reached 27 with two minutes left. Dulmage, injured midway through the half, returned only for a brief spell. Still she managed to lead Buffalo in scoring with 19. Nesbit was aided by Braithwaite who had 14, and Hummer who chipped in with 11 for Gannon.

With UB pandemonium Contest — — leading 4-3, . thanks to tallies from Mark Werder, Brien Crow, Larry Pawlie (his first) and Tom Wilde (certainly not his first), a Union player got by Wilde with only three minutes remaining and headed for Bull goaltender Bill Kaminska’s net armed with obvious intentions of tying the score. But Wilde had other ideas. In a last second reaction, Buffalo’s high scoring left winger tripped the would be scorer from behind. The referee immediately awarded Union a penalty shot. However, Kaminska, who has played superbly, stopped the puck with his left pad, averting the tie. Not long afterward, Union did tip the game, sending the partisan crowd into a frenzy. - To the rescue came the “red line” of Grow, Patterson and Wilde. Called on by the coach to finish out the game, they didn’t let him down. “Grow had the puck at center ice,’’ missing a defenseman’s stick by inches. Tommy beat the goalie cleanly, with only nine seconds showing on the clock.” It gave UB a hard-fought 5-4 victory. The Bulls also competed in the Williams (Mass.) tournament, December 29 and 30, and finished in third place, bowing to host Williams in the opener and taking the consolation from Bryant College. The championship went to North Adams State, after — Bulls’ successes. Captain Fd Patterson agreed. “We’re plaving better as a team. We’re more close-knit, and it’s paying off. We’ve started skating well and everything’s come together,” said Patterson, adding that the younger players have improved over the course of the campaign.

Staff Writer While most UB students were catching up on their sleep and getting a well deserved rest, the hockey Bulls were hard at work. Their 4-1 record during the three-week break has helped put UB on the right track toward a playoff berth. Featuring a 7-5 log for the season, the Bulls are currently on a four-game winning streak (not including last night’s contest with Brock U.), having earned every victory while on the road. Four straight wins away from home would constitute a superior achievement for any other team, but not for UB» which sports a 6-3 road record (after opening the season with two losses away from Buffalo), and one victory and two setbacks while on home ice. “They’re playing determined hockey,” coach Kd Wright said of his players. “They want to win. They’re a real close-knit bunch of individuals.” Wright broke it down into specifics. “We’re getting balanced scoring from all the lines; we’re getting super goaltending, and the defensemen are doing their job*” the coach related while explaining the Maytag Toploading Washers 4276 No. Bailey Ave. Gannon College.

Sole loss “We played a great game,” argued Wright after the 6-1 loss to Williams. “They got a lot of breaks. Besides, Williams was very very psyched for it, after we beat them out of the last playoff spot last year.” UB defeated Bryant, 6-3 in the consolation but the game was much closer than the score indicates. was cut by a Bryant high stick at the Patterson’s beginning of the third period, giving Buffalo a five minute power play. At the time, the score was 2-2, but it didn’t last long. “The five minute major woke us up,” the coach said. “We pumped in three goals right away.” Indeed, in less than a minute and a half. Rich Mac Lean, Tim Igo and Paul Narduzzo all found net. Patterson earned all-tourney honors for his fine play in the games. The Bulls greeted 1979 with a 7-4 triump over Royal Military College on January 6. Keith Sawyer, Wilde and Narduzzo were all sober enough to bag a pair of goals each in leading the offense. After the exciting conquest over Union, the UB hockey squad headed for Hamilton. Ont. Little did they know whal fate had in store for them as they boarded the team bus. Just outside of Syracuse, the bus ran out of gas and then broke down completely after being filled up. Delayed three hours; the Bulls required an outstanding individual performance to pull this one out. “The players hadn’t eaten since that morning,” Wright said recounting the 9-5 victory on Jan. 13. ’’But Kaminska played a super game. I’d have to say he made the difference in that, game,” stated the man who is known for his understatements. STICK CHECKS; The high-flying Wilde still leads UB skaters with 31 points and 17 goals.

But Bradshaw does it J S better. ® by David Davidson Sports Editor - For 28 minutes they chased down errant passes, leaped above the cylinder to sweep the boards and dropped in dazzling 25-foot jumpers. But pressure caught up, and the still winless basketball Bulls dropped a 68-49 decision to the Hartwick College Warriors before a small crowd in Clark Hall, that had escaped from the numbing cold outside. Coming into the contest with a 13-2 won-lost record, the Division 11 Warriors found themselves off guard for the majority of the first half. In place of guard Rodney McDaniel, Buffalo coach Bill Hughes gave the starting nod to the relatively unknown Tony Boston. taunting the Aggressively Warrior ball handlers just after mid-court, Rosten’s crossing usually forced the patient pressure Hartwick offense into a series of bad shot selection, particularly in the final five minutes of the first half. With Rosten closing the lanes, Hartwick was unable to 1 move the ball in close for their high scoring front line, which averages over 6-6. With the Hartwick offense in check, the Bull offense was able to put points on the board in short spurts. Fred Brookins, who rode the bench much of the first six games this season, popped two shots into orbit that ticked through for an early UB lead of 7-6. Overall, Brookins played what called an Hughes “acceptable game”; finishing with 10 points and five rebounds. When Brookins cooled off, senior guard George Mendenhall picked up the slack with three quick buckets coming off the fast-break. Mendenhall’s third shot brought Buffalo to within a four point deficit but Warrior junior forward, Jerry Fulmer sank a straight-away jumper from the key to widen the margin. Bull’s center Nate Bouie, playing much more confidently as the schedule progresses, banked a ten-footer over Don McAllister, Hartwick’s muscular 6-6 center, just before the close of the half to send the clubs to the locker room at 30-24. With the loss of McDaniel (who quit the team Friday) and reserve Norm Jones, Hughes’ six man line-up began to grow weary midway through the final half. Tony Smith, a 6-3 forward, kept the Bulls in the ballgame before the depth of the Warriors came just more point LIFE IN DIVISION III QUICK RELEASE: Tonv Smith of Buffalo (32) lets a jumper fly during first half action Tuesday night at Clark Hall. Smith, a 6-3 junior from Baltimore, led the Bulls in scoring with 12 points in their 68-49 loss to highly touted Hartwick College. through. Ever improving, Smith rallied for twelve points and seven rebounds after a lackluster first half. Roston and Brookins wore down, Smith showed signs of fatigue and Bouie’s rebounding went limp. Hughes looked down his bench but came up short. “We’re just not ten players deep, especially at the big positions,” Hughes admitted, but added, “We had three big guys on the bench, (but minus Jones) but now we have two.” Still hope Buffalo’s ship sank in the final eight minutes of the evening when the Warriors turned a seemingly close game intp a rout, led by Fulmer, McAllister and senior forward, Dan Foran. Foran, after the contest a slow start with 16 points. Fulmer led his team and scoring with 18 and tremendous received a teammate from contribution 14. Hughes McAllister with dominate the action and pull away. “It’s a matter of confidence,” Hughes pointed out. When it gets tough we act like we’re running scared. _But when we are up against some of these top teams we are running scared.” Hughes agrees that when the Bulls, now 0-8, pull out a close game, their will confidence increase. Incidently, in the Bulls’ opening eight losses, seven of the opponents have been either Division J or II. The Division III loss to Potsdam was not unusual; Potsdam is a power within their own class. Tomorrow nights, match-up with Geneseo at Clark Hall might provide the necessary win to pick up the Bulls’ spirits. Besides, Clark Hall is packed, it’s a great way to escape the cold and stay warm for a few hoars. Tony Boston started in place of sophomore guard Rodney McDaniel Tuesday night when the Bulls locked horns with Hartwick College. So what? Earlier in the day, it had been publicly announced that McDaniel, with a season-plus at playing experience under his belt, had quit the team in “mutual agreement” with first year head coach Bill Hughes. At first, it did not make a great deal of sense. McDaniel started his first 17 fames as a freshman under the leadership of former coach Leo Richardson before being benched for the remainder of the 24-game season. At the outset of the current campaign, McDaniel received praise from critics who concentrated on his ability to lead or “quarterback” the team. After five contests this year, Rodney led the team in minutes played, but on paper his efficiency left something to be desired. In a recent double loss at the Lafayette Invitational, McDaniel lost his' starting berth, playing 12 minutes and then just one in the respective games. Why did his playing time dwindle? “1 didn’t feel well,” stated Rodney. Hughes retorted, “He felt fine the night he turned the ball over nine times against Canisius.” But apparently there is no animosity between player and coach. Sitting in the third row during Tuesday nights’ losing effort, McDaniel showed no emotion whil absorbing the event in total. “The coach doesn’t see a future in me (as a UB guard),” McDaniel said. “If he doesn’t, what can 1 do? He’s the main man.” The story goes on and on. McDaniel says he does not resent Hughes and his tone indicates he is sincere. Hughes, by no means evading the issue, simply states, “McDaniel took a rather loose attitude,” But Hughes took time to evaluate that statement, and elaborated. “We’re talking about intangibles,” Hughes declared. “I just didn’t think he was responding (on the basketball court).” McDaniel is off the playing squad. Will he be back? Both he and Hughes say no. After coach and player had a lenghthy discussion on pertinent matters, Hughes offered McDaniel a “Chance to get together Monday and discuss the matter.” McDaniel never appeared and Hughes held practice as usual. Hughes left the eventual decision up to nobody but the two players involved. No conference with the team, not even the captains. “How would Rodney have felt if the captains had voted him off the team?” he conveyed. Taking this confusing matter one step further, one wonders if the team will suffer. The Bulls are in the midst of a complete rebuilding program. The “nucleus” of last year’s team, which scored a total of six victories, has graduated. Left in the starting line-up are Nate Bouie, George Mendenhall (who emerged from the bench when McDaniel was sat down last year) and until now, McDaniel. Combine that with a schedule that puts the Bulls on the road for 10 out of their 15 games, usually against teams that are packed with scholarship personnel, and come away with one result. The Rodney McDaniel-type instances are a part of life. When things appear sour, someone has to give. -David Davidson you watched patiently. “We can’t play for 38-40 he realizes, “but everybody is getting better.” Earlier this year, the Bulls played a tough three quarters with Canisius and later with Florida Southern, both teams stocked with scholarship athletes.

Much of the equipment is in need of repair and “no longer he said. Bruchenstein claimed that reliable, students are unable to run some experiments because the equipment breaks down and isn’t repaired, leaving students with unfinished work later in the ” year. , The report warns that if the Faculty continues to use obsolete Equipment, it will be unable to engage in modern research techniques, which will lead to mediocrity or worse. It urges the institution or an annual flexible reserve fund to be used for future planning. This fund would be used for the purchase of new equipment needed by new faculty members and would in turn help attract new faculty. Josephine Wise, Assistant to the Chairman of Computer Science, said that hef department’s skeletal budget has acted as a crucial roadblock in its recruiting process. “What we can offer a faculty member is an impediment in recruiting and attracting people who are good,” she said. She added that although there has been a high turnover in faculty, the University has been fortunate in not losing high caliber scholars. But Wise remarked that it has been “touch and go” and that the department has been successful in part because it has received considerable amounts in grant money. Rounding the bottom The report indicated that the budget “fat” existing of the late 60’s that allowed significant —continued from . • pad* 1~ • departmental growth has dissipated; and that money now available falls far short of the increases in costs of even office supplies. Endowment support in the early 70’s allowed the Faculty to make some critical senior appointments but the report holds virtually no hope for the continuation of any support. Charles E. Jeffrey, Acting Director of the Division of Organismal and Environmental Biology echoed the report’s claim that the Faculty is haveing trouble attracting top quality scholars. “The salaries for the assistantships are not high, they’re not competitive with other schools,’’ he said. Jeffrey added that all quality educational programs are “associated with money” and that his department will not be able to meet all its goals. But Jeffrey offerred an essentially different view than both his colleagues and the report when he held that his department has “rounded the bottom and begun to move forward.” He said his area is in better shape than most departments due to the recent move to the new facility to Cook-Hochstetter Hall on the Amherst Campus. He said Organismal and Environmental Biology has recently received close to $1 million in funded research that has left the department “in pretty good shape.” Myron Thompson, Assistant Dean of Natural Sciences and Mathematics was far less optimistic than Jeffrey, stating that “not much of significance has occurred (since June) to change the problems” related in the report. “The problems are still there.” he said. “They are very timely and need to be addressed.” Legislation pending ID by SS number challenged Impending legislation has forced Admissions and Records (A and R) into a “numbers game.” If the law is passed, as anticipated, it will be illegal to request social security numbers on forms. A and R has followed the lead of New York State in refering to the social security numbers as “student indentifier numbers.” Associate Director of Records and Registration Ellen McNamara said this switch may have caused some confusion among students when attempting to register. When students enroll in the University, they are assigned a six digit student number. However, the computers rely on the nine digit social numbers for processing. Without a social security number, McNamara explained, the forms would be rejected by security the computer. However, there were no rejected registrations, McNamara said, since most students used the correct number. If they didn’t, the mistake was caught when the course request forms were turned in. All A and R forms will use the student identifier number designation from now on, she said. The purpose of the legislation is to protect individuals from invasion of privacy. It is expected to prevent agencies from using the number to gain access to records. “Supposedly,” McNamara said, “they’re considered a confidential item.” Pandemonium security numbers, etc.) is entered into computers immediately as opposed to the old procedure by which computer forms were* sent out to University Computer Services (UCS). Once at UCS the information was punched into student data files and sent back to UB, after which course request forms could be processed. The change, according to McNamara, greatly speeds up the initial registration system. A change in the drop/add terminals now allows multiple schedule transactions per day. —continued from page , 5 . Under the old system only one change could be made a day. Initial Spring 1979 semester class registration will continue through January 26. The option to drop a course without academic penalty (R) is open until February 2. Courses can be added until February 23. Spring 1979 schedule cards are available in Hayes Annex C. Student schedules generated at on-line drop/add sites are also schedule cards legitimate confirming registration. Elena Cacavas Attica... —continued from of Attica, Louis did not speculate on the relation of the new testimony to Negron’s hanging. Meanwhile, a State Corrections Commission investigation into Negron’s death was reviewed and closed at this month’s meeting of die Commission’s Medical Review Board. The findings of that report are being withheld until a final copy is approved at the next Board meeting on February 23, to James according Ryan, Commission public information officer. Ryan would not comment on the Negron investigation at this time except to state that it met with the acceptance of the Board. The Corrections Commission is mandated to investigate any death in occurring any State correctional facility, Ryan noted. The prisoner’s medical history, autopsy report, and staff and innate interviews are included in the investigation. “If there is a . page 4—• question of possible suicide, we have to go into more detail,”, Ryan stated. Negron’s death was officially labelled a suicide. Normally the State assumes the funeral and burial expenses of convicts who die while incarcerated. However, -in Negron’s case, his family in Staten Island, N.Y., took charge of the body and all funeral and burial costs. Smith, Harold Attica superintendent, has refused to comment on Negron’s death to The Spectrum. “I don’t talk to student newspapers,” he said. “What really happened [to Negron] will remain a secret from the public,” Louis has remarked, “because the officers protect themselves and each other and because the State will not allow the public to know that their officers actually do things of this nature.” DO Our Speciality — BEEF ON WECK Our prices JJ.5L, Our Julie Box has the best selections of JAZZ & Top 10 & Rock 178 BAILEY AVE. — Open everyday till 4; 00 am We erve food til1 ... * 3:00 ■ m 836-89051 Across from Capri Art Theatre) �classified LOST CLASSIFIEDS may be placed at 'The Spectrum' office. 3SS Squire Hall, MSC.

Parker Mews Editor In’ the wake of previous debts, rising costs and "tax fever,” Hugh L. Carey has proposed that SUNY raise tuition $100 per year to offset risihg capital costs. Although the move is unofficial until the Governor proposes his executive budget by January 31, the State’s BuBget Director Howard Miller told The New York Times that a tuition increase had been proposed during a recent meeting with SUNY Chancellor Clifton K. Wharton. Tuition is currently $750 a year for freshmen and sophomores and $900 annually for juniors and seniors. The proposed hike would affect approximately 161,000 SUNY students. Tuition in New York State already ranks in the top ten of public institutions nationwide. The proposed boost, if adopted, would thrust SUNY even higher in the rankings. Why the plans to up tuition? Revenue generated by SUNY (as opposed to funds allocated from the State Legislature) comes from student tuition and income from the Upstate and Downstate Medical facilities. Revenue is used to pay back SUNY’s debt service and part of its annual operating expenses. According to Harry Charlton, a public relations officer in the Chancellor’s office, short term notes were used for construction when the bond market became sluggish and interest rates rose. This has left SUNY with a commitment to pay back approximately $250 million in outstanding capital construction costs most of which is for buildings that have already been built by Governor — — October 1, 1980. Off the top Revenue that is not used to pay back bonds is put towards operating expenses. Although SUNY has a commitment with State Division of the Budget (DOB) to provide $ I 00 million of its operating costs through revenues, only $90 million was left over this year after the capital costs had been skimmed from the top. Thus, the State Legislature must find an additional $10 million. Chairman of the Assembly’s Committee on Higher Kducation Mark Seigel told The Spectrum that a $100 tuition increase would raise approximately $16 million more than enough money for SUNY to fulfill its - Carey proposes $[00 tuition hike commitment to DOB towards operating expenses. But Student Association (SA) President Karl Schwartz noted that the $16 million figure is deceptive. Enrollment will drop with the tuition hike since about 8000 students will be unable to afford the extra $100, he said. Schwartz stated jhat the National Commission on Financing of Post Secondary Education has determined that every $100 tuition increase at U.S. colleges and universities is accompanied by a 2.5 percent reduction in enrollment. Schwartz pointed out fhat the Higher Education Services the organization that administers the Tuition Assistance Corporation Program (TAP) would be forced to shell out an additional $6 million in aid to students. Thus, Schwartz claims, “A tuition hike is a counterproductive way to raise money.” Although a tuition .jump seems imminent, it is not automatic even if the Legislature approves Carey’s proposal. The decision to raise tuition lies in the hands of the SUNY Board of Trustees. However, if the executive budget is passed with expected revenues from a tuition increase, then the SUNY Board of Trustees must either boost tuition or cut existing programs to account for the needed revenues. One SUNY official noted, “If the trustees don’t raise tuition, then the danger is they may tell the different schools to find money where they can.” But in the meantime, Student Association is planning to fight a tuition increase. Schwartz said he is organizing a letter-writing campaign and sending public opinion telegrams to public officials and contemplating a plan to send busloads of UB students to Albany for a protest against the move. 19 - - to offset SUNY costs Bunn will seek ‘Council’ to resolve DUE dean dispute Edilor-in-Chief Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn will propose a “Council of Undergraduate Education” as his solution to the continuing dispute on control of undergraduate programs in Health Sciences.

The advisory committee's report also suggcsted«hat the Stale fund all other co-curricular activities, that is, activities which supplement any part of the formal academic program. Presently, athletics and other co-curricular activities are financed mainly through mandatory student fees, with the State picking up the tab for instructors’ salaries and facilities. • Implementation of the report would require an additional State expenditure of $3 million; SI.6 million of that for athletics. Yet there is much skepticism as to whether the Stale Legislature will allocate the necessary funds. SUNY Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Ronald Bristow, a committee member, admitted that the proposal would become “less attractive" if new money .is not appropriated by the State. • Not encouraging “We just simply cannot cut out things that exist to fund athletics,” Bristow said. Yet, he was not optimistic about the fiscally conscious Legislature appropriating new money. “The fiscal situation does not -continued on paoe 16— Outrage and skepticism mark responses to tuition hike by Elena Cacavas Campus Kdilor Louis Welch, Vice President for University Affairs at the Stale University of New York at Albany, expressed a low-keyed tolerance of Governor Carey’s proposed $100 a year tuition boost. Stating, f ‘It’s not desirable, but often very necessary,” Welch sounded a note in a completely different range from those of other SUNY center administrators and local Buffalo politicians. The current fee is $750 a year for freshmen and sophomores and $900 a year for juniors and seniors. New York is among the most expensive states in terms of student tuition. Geneseo State College President Robert MacVittie severely criticized the increase proposal citing the “need to decrease or stabilize state tuition fees.” More increases? UB President Robert Kettcr not only criticized the boost, but contested the validity of Carey’s claim that the increase .was to offset capital costs. “Last year,” he said, “the Division of Budget (DOB) felt comfortable in sequestttihg $100 million to cover operational expenses. Obviously, Students picket tuition Over 50 students picketed the State Capitol in Albany on Monday protesting a proposed $100 tuition increase for Slate and City University of New York (SUNY and CUNY) students. The rally, which was sponsored by the Student Association of the State University (SASU) was the first of many measures that SASU plans to implement in combating the hike, according to SASU President Steve Allinger. Although the proposed increase in tuition will not become official until Governor Hugh L. Carey proposes his executive budget on January 31, SASU officials are already actively fighting the move. Immediately following Monday’s protest, SASU conducted ,a jihone-in. flooding the Executive branch of the-Stale Division of the Budget (DOB) with calls for over an hour. Allinger noted that the callers successfully tied i:.* \v vs V the lines. in what he called demonstration of student strength. up a sound Although SASU is directing most of its efforts on lobbying until Carey’s proposal becomes official. Allinger said, “I look forward to seeing UB students in Albany with the same enthusiasm and fervor that they greeted the Governor with in Buffalo.” Allinger explained that when Carey’s proposal becomes official, it will be easier to lobby because SASU will know exactly what the revenues raised from tuition will be used for. Some of the additional revenues will be used to supplement SUNY’s SI00 million commitment to DOB to pay a part of SUNY's operating expenses and some will be used to pay approximately S250 million outstanding from debt service. — — terming increases such developments “inevitable.” He added, however. “One must presume that the level of funding for scholarships, grants, and loa»s will keep pace.” Administrators from other universities and UB district whether politicians question assistance increases can be kept abreast with fee hikes and fear the impact that the unbalanced situation could have on already declining student enrollments. Ketter cited data showing a two to three percent drop for every $100 tuition increase. they felt the capital situation was nut that bad.” Should the tuition hike be implemented, Ketler claimed that he would “not be surprised" to see increases in room and board fees. Claiming that the Student Association of the State University (SASU) in Albany is proposing tht the mandatory student fee be increased from $70 annually to $100, he said, “We had better start getting all the increases on the table before any decisions are made." Welch also recognized the of subsequent probability increase Local Assembl nj@n William a member of the Hoyt Assembly’s Committee on Higher Education indicated that the proposal “comes at a time when UB’s enrollment is declining.” — - More cuts? that enrollment Claimimg hurt drops will any efforts toward Amherst construction, Hoyt explained that funding would be directed toward universities that “looked more promising.” he said “If enrollment decreases, it will give another argument to those who have been against construction all along. Hoyt addressed the issue of financial hardships on students in relation to what he called “the norm that "students at state universities are there largely because of financial problems.” Welch said he believed that anything increasing the cost of education would have a negative effect on a student’s decision to pursue it. But, he added, “Frankly, I would not say that tuition could be considered a central factor or concern in enrollment drops.” an the As adjunct to enrollment consideration, Hoyt said that a decrease would adversely affect state resource allocations to universities thus prompting faculty line cuts. “Retrenchments,” he said, “necessarily impair the quality of the education students pay for.” Hoyt claimed that he would support the hike only if assured that retrenchments would not eventually occur. voiced Yet his despite dissatisfaction in the state’s move, Hoyt was quoted in The Courier-Express as saying, “There doesn’t seem to be much that can be done about it.” More pressure?

The four percent vacancy figure remained basically unchanged from previous years, and Boyce said that the rooms will probably remain unfilled. Applications are still being accepted according to Assistant Director of Housing Garry Soehner. Dorm contracts'are made for the entire year but students have the option of breaking the contract between semesters. A five percent fine is charged to students who break the contract for reasons unrecognized by the University. Reasons which are recognized include transferring to another school, graduating, or dropping out. The number of vacancies is split between both campuses. Said Soehner, “we have seen no tendency of withdrawal from any particular dorm. Among students leaving the school we have found many expressing favorable information about the dorms.” According to Boyce there was only one incident of vandalism in the dorms during the Christmas break- “Some sinks were stopped up on the fourth floor of Wilkeson and the water was left running which soaked the floors,” he said. 1.30 ea. 1.50 ea. 1.60ea. ... .......

According to UUP spokesperson John Milton, the organization’s current efforts are concentrated on negotiations with the state on the Employees’ contract which expires in June. Recently, however, a S2 million shortfall in anticipated revenues for the SUNY system gained the top spot in UUP’s list of negotiation issues. An unknown quantity A December 18 meeting with the state chancellor’s office was set after issuance of a SUNY memo ordering 10 state campus presidents to draw op plans to operate with budget deficits ranging from $40,000 to $400,000. The slate schools that failed to meet anticipated enrollment figures this fall were UB, Buffalo State, New Paltz, Stony Brook, Brockport, Oswego, Potsdam, Purchase, Old Westbury; and Syracuse University's School of Forestry. The 1970-1980 budget, based on a projected student enrollment of 166,000, must now be adjusted to one of 5,000 less students. Anticipating cuts in faculty positions to fill the deficit, UUP proposed, according to organization President Sam Wakshull, “an immediate freeze on new hirings in academic, professional and administrative lines." UUP Secretary Edward Alfonsin disagreed claiming that the December meeting yielded no such agreement. “We are dealing with an unknown quantity,” he stated, adding, “It is necessary to wail for the slate budget to be released in two weeks.

Carey has suggested that SUNY Buffalo increase Seeking (iovernor interaction with local industry. Carey hinted that UB ought to lend its scientific expertise to such area firms as Bethlehem Steel and Bell Aerospace. While those firms would receive free technical advice from the University, UB would greatly help itself by widening the range of educational experience for its students. “There’s a lot of long term educational benefit to the University,” explained Dean of Fngineering and Applied Sciences George Lee. Such a program would generate more student interest, inspire new research ideas and increase the availability of research topics to UB students, Lee said. But despite Carey’s urging, a concrete plan of action is at least a semester away. Two committees are currently studying the idea, according to Lee; One is the Administrative Council, which is composed of department chairmen and deans, and the other is the Academic Program Committee. “Sometime during the spring semester I will have to begin to take the first steps,’’ Lee said, “l ought to take a fairly strong role.” Former Lieutenant Governor Mary Ann Krupsak first pointed out UB’s value as an advisory agent during her unsuccessful election campaign last year.

Power of OPEC declines as demand for its oil dwindles around 2.5 per cent during most of the 1950’sand 1960’s jumped above the double digit mark after the oil crisis. The simplest explanation for OPEC’s decline from its 1973 pinnacle of power is mere supply and demand OPEC’s declining shock power is evident from the mild reaction outside the United States to the price boost and the Iranian production shutdown. A spokesman for a large London brokerage house said there would be little impact on Europe.

At a when inflation is dragging costs up everywhere; and in a university-system where the taxpayers still bear most of the burden for a college education, students outraged at a tuition hike often sound silly asking to be spared from reality at the Stale's or ungrateful expense. A realist should accept the tuition hike as unavoidable and concentrate on issues where there are inequities, because just like anyone else, students must sacrifice in hard times.

Public education has been a joint venture between state and student since about the time when society realized it was improving itself by helping to educate its young. But in New York State, the partnership has taken a strange turn. As the State's finances improved, it continued to put less and less capital into the venture. Quality suffered and business dropped. The State refused to complete already begun expansion. Quality suffered more. The State began churning out treasury surpluses, yet it did not even allow for inflation in its share of the public education venture. Now, New York State and the Chairman of the Board Hugh Carey want to tilt the partnership even more by deepening the student's commitment, even though quality is sure to continue suffering. That's the way New York State does business and only a fool would allow it to be guised as realism. Still, what's $100 to 160,000 students? For some, nothing, For others, the difference between a college education and pumping gas. For most, a rough time and a lot of anxiety scraping up the cash. For New York State, $16 million, nearly 35 percent of which would be paid back out in increased TAP awards or would never materialize from students forced to drop out. If approved, the tuition hike will clearly show how-SUNV officials work at the mercy of the Governor, the Legislature and the Division of Budget. Chancellor Wharton will probably not even oppose the hike although he knows that the publicly, for fear of angering the gods State has caged what could have been the world's finest university system in a vicious cycle of deceptive power. With the declining birth - rate, enrollment is sure to drop in SUNY. Budgets will continue to shrink, quality will suffer, enrollment will drop more, tuition will increase, enrollment will, fjrop more, budgets will continue to shrink and so on. Outstanding bond debts will be used as an excuse for hiking tuition and abandoning the public education partnership. Yes, SUNY has had trouble with its bond financing, beginning with the State's fiscal crisis five years ago. So did New York City, another State partner; one that has seen its share of the venture continually decrease. Of course, Hugh Carey graduated from the streets of Brooklyn, not the halls of SUNY. Nevertheless, Mr. Carey, we will gladly pay the $100 as soon as our campus is built, as soon as monev to buy books and equipment is returned, as soon as the libraries reopen late at night, as soon as the State takes over funding for athletics, as soon as the health fee disappears forever, as soon as TAP is made available to part-time students, as soon as Albany at least balances its commitment to public education with its devotion to private education, as soon as the reign of DOB is ended within SUNY imd as soon as short-sighted, vengeful politicans like you remove the noose on the State University of New - York. It is then we will talk about realism. The Spectrum Vol. 29, No. 48 Wednesday, 17 January 1979 Denise Stumpo Managing Editor David Levy Art Director Rebecca Bernstein News Editor Daniel S.

Republication of any matter heiein without the express consent of the Editor in Chief is strictly forbidden. because it is a particular kind of thinking that is reflected in everything we do, including sports coverage and our Prodigal Sun arts section. It is a conscious application of this policy that we will strive for in the next five months and there may be some growing pains along the way. It is nothing totally new; our predecessors have all practiced it to some degree and our first semester coverage, especially on academic issues and women’s rights, could be called advocacy journalism. Of course, the November 3 Carey rally we helped to organize is the most dramatic example, actually extending to activism itself. While we do not expect any more of those, the attitude that the newspaper's role can sometimes include direct action on political issues will persist for it is an attitude that, in a larger context, defines this newspaper. While refining our role as student advocate, we will at'empt this semester to explore the different styles of writing that must one day begin to take hold in standard journalism as it seeks to escape TV’s slow strangling. This will mean encouraging the use of the literary wherever appropriate technique and a novelist’s tone while reporting the news or commenting on the arts. It should make the paper more interesting for readers and writers fascination being one of the things The Spectrum ought to be about. - - Sharpening The Spectrum's visual appeal will remain a priority as we experiment with page design, layout and graphic work to bring readers an exciting, eye-catching package. Those that have noticed our design changes will notice more, those who haven’t caught on, will. As we tunnel our way into new territory, it will .remain important to improve ourselves in the traditional ways: fewer errors, fewer missed stories, fewer gaps in coverage, less bias, etc. As important as an' advocacy attitude is, The Spectrum will never be truly effective without an active readership. This means you. Our editorial pages will continue to provide the University’s most open and well-attended public forum; and we encourage all readers to follow the issues, monitor our performance with Letters to the Editor and come up and speak to us personally. We expect continued criticism. Without it, we would wonder about our performance as journalists. We expect attacks on our organization. Recent history speaks for itself in that regard. And we expect to upset a few people; for there are many out there who deserve to be upset. Along the way, we hope to improve our image as a newspaper and earn the continuing respect of you, our readers. To that end, we felt it was important to explain what we are attempting to do here this semester. The final judgment on how well we succeeded is yours, and no one else’s. Thank you for '<our readership. And watch closely General Education for the pros the Advertising Manager . Composition Contributing Bill Finkelstein . . This semester. The Spectrum can cast its line Where most of the tradition-stifled journalism profession has yet to go. The well-worshipped notion that news can be found and written about "objectively" has turned on its master and cast most of the press as mere boosters of the status quo in this country. It is a notion that we rejected a long time ago; about the same time that people in these offices realized that journalists have values, readers have values and "the news" -r whatever it may be inevitable take? on its own values. We would like to put those values to work, rather than obscure their existence. If "objectivity" means the latter, then we want no part of it. althoug we rdtnain interested tn reporting the news accurately and fairly. Standard or “objective” journalism has no lock on either on those two qualities and we do not believe that The Spectrum is unfair to its readers or its targets by openly reporting from a particular point of view. It is point-of-view or “advocacy journalism" we wish to develop this semester, without slicing into our hard news coverage and informational features that make The Spectrum a useful publication. Advocacy journalism not only shows the need and then pushes for change, but ought to show how and why the mass media has failed in these roles. Advocacy cannot be restricted to the editorial pages In view of the forthcoming debate about the . . City waters. meaning and nature of general education for this University Center, it may be appropriate to consider Business Manager . Kathy McDonough We won’t be shy about it. We think we put out a pretty good paper last semester. There are those that will disagree entirely, for their own reasons; there are those still miffed at a particular inaccuracy or hack-job; and there are those that will be probably never grant us success, even if they are caught raising an eyebrow or two, three times a week. Nevertheless, it seems to us that the overall quality of the enough to mention it here in newspaper improved this first issue of Book II. That done, we are prepared to recognize that The Spectrum is not where it should be among college newspapers. The student press, once the vanguard of political and cultural change on college campuses, is now straining to catch up with the latest trends whether they be Toga Parties or Tuition Tax Credits. Student apathy has become an excuse to silence the guns of alternative journalism, rather than a target to take aim at. The Spectrum has tried to play catch-up as little as possible and remain a political force on campus while recognizing that the image of an angry, underground scandal-sheet, so appropriate eight years ago. will no longer work In an age when "the movement" on college campuses has left the demonstration to whirl away on the dance floor, student newspapers must cry for change in new ways, on new topics, with a new tone. We would like to be among the leaders in recognizing this change. So it is newness that we will strive for this semester; not for its own sake but as part of our conviction that in the I980’s political and cultural change will be taken from different, largely untested To Ihi' hJilor Editor in Chief Jay Rosen Managing Editor On beginning Book II: A message to readers significance of the issue for professional education. As far as law is concerned, there is no doubt about the need for broadly educated advocates and counselors from among whom the judges of the future will be drawn. The myth that judges never make but only find the law has long since been abandoned. In this self-conscious age of judicial law making, it is especially important that judges, while respecting the institutional constraints upon (heir freedom, lx- able to draw upon all the knowledge, wisdom, and intellectual and cultural understanding that our heritage can provide.

But in view of the complex stresses in late twentieth century society, there is need not onlv for the hard knowledge of the disciplines, but also for the broadest understanding of the problems, attitudes, and values of the many different groups within the national and world communities. That there is such a need has not gone unnoticed by the more perceptive judges. Just 57 years ago, Learned Hand, by common consent one of the great American judges of the century, in describing the challenge of the task of the American judge, said: It is not enough to he personally detached. though that of course is a Condition; we must also acquire a capacity for an informed sympathy with, and understanding of the desires and values of others; and that.

" ... In a 197J decision (Wisconsin v. Yoder), Mr. Justice White of the United States Supreme Court to the aims of the American educational referred system as involving an attempt “to nurture and develop the human potential” of the students; “to expand their knowledge, broaden their sensibilities, kindle their imagination, foster a spirit of free inquiry, and increase their human understanding and tolerance.” It hardly seems likely that such concerns are any less important for the education of those who are to serve the physical and mental well being of society or to be the managers of its economic system, than for those who are to serve its legal system.

Spitzbcrg The pro-life story To the Editor. I must protest Adrienne McCann’s article in the December 1 issue of The Spectrum to the effect that pro-life people are violence prone. “Recently,” the article said, “many members of the Right to Life and Friends of Life movement have resorted to violent and disruptive tactics.” Many? Really-these actions are those of an isolated few. Still we read that, “a central complaint against the. Pro-Life movement is that its members show ‘a systematic disregard for human life and property.’ Behind this claim is a rash of arson at abortion facilities in Ohio, Nebraska, and Minnesota last spring. Property damage was done and it was not entirely impossible that a fireman could have died. These actions then must be condemned. The pro-life movement has in fact condemned them. Your report is not up on this development. During the summer, Dr. Mildred Jefferson, president of the National Right to Life Committee, announced the establishment of a fund to give rewards to anyone who gives information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone committing arson at an abortion facility. ” Pro-life people are overwhelmingly non-violent people. Peaceful political participation is their chief activity. Because of their activism, the new Congress will have thirty-five more pro-life congressmen and six more pro-life senators than the outgoing Congress. That is this year’s story. Regina H Kane legislative approval later this month. If this increase does take place, all UB students, undergraduate, Si 00 in tuition beginning this fall. Sophomores in the Undergraduate Division will be especially hard hit, since their tuition will be increased by S250 as they enter their junior year. In addition, because the Higher Education Services Corporation decreases the TAP award by $200 for upper level undergraduate students, sophomores who receive even the minimum TAP payment will actually be paying $450 more in tuition next year if the proposed tuition increase occurs. The last time tuition was raised in the State University was in the Fall of 1976. Students from lower and middle income families were the most severely effected then, and such will be the case if tuition is again increased next year. Tuition for the State University of New York ranks among the highest for state universities in the country; and while stale officials cry over the allegedly high state cost for public higher education, they continue to'allow more tax dollars to be spent on private higher education in New York State than is spent in all of the other 49 states combined. Beyond the philosophical arguments against a tuition hike, from a more practical standpoint,’ the State will accomplish very littel if such a hike takes place. The sacrifices necessitated by an increase would far outweigh the marginal benifit an increase would have to the State Budget, Of the extra $14 million which would be generated by raising tuition, almost half of that would have to be doled back out by the Higher Fducation Services Corporation in the form of higher TAP payments (as a rgsult of higher tuition charges). Not a very efficient way to raise money. In addition, the National Commission on Financing of Post Secondary Fducation has determined that’each SI00 increase in tuition at U.S. colleges and universities is accompanied by a 2.57c reduction in enrollment. That means in SUNY, 8000 fewer students would he paying tuition and thereby no longer contributing to the State’s coffers. Again, not a very efficient way to add to the State Budget.

Jensen Maxim Van Vessern a Ti> the Editor Wo wish to respond to a letter about UB’s student health insurance plan by D. Robinson, B. Kyle, J. Cohn, and (!. Barber that appeared in The Spectrum of Friday, December 8. While purporting to have some “clear answers” about the insurance, their discussion of its inclusion of abortion coverage omitted several important facts and made some statements. They merely recapitulated the arguments put forth by Sub Board I to justify the plan’s mandatory payment for abortion and made no attempt to critically examine them. The letter made much of the fact that the plan’s coverage and benefits are shaped in accordance with the responses received from an annual random survey of the student body. What the 'etter failed to mention is that no questions have ever been asked in these surveys about whether students favor the inclusion of coverage for abortion procedures, or whether they support a mandatory payment for such coverage by every person on the plan without providing for any option or refund policy for those who object to such a payment on grounds of conscience. In view of this, it can only be concluded that the director of Sub Board, despite their claims to the contrary, had no mandate to include either abortion coverage or a mandatory payment for such coverage in the plan. The letter rationalized away Sub Board’s failing to consult the student community before it voted (over the summer) to include the coverage, by saying that since the policy had to become effective at the start of the fall semester, it was “impossible to wait until September” to get student reaction to the proposal. This in no way justifies deciding such a controversial matter in which rights of conscience arc involved without first publicizing the issue so that the strident body could be heard This year Sub Board announced a public meeting March 8 to deliberate the issue. Why didn’t Sub Board call such a meeting last year? Justifying the inclusion of a mandatory payment for abortion on the ground that it was included in the plan of two years ago without I & ' J ion, % we should be aware of the potential devastating i effects that a tuition increase would have on our school and other SUNY schools across the State. As <o a result of the inevitable decline in enrollment which ec as ours will he forced to eliminate essential programs, services, and faculty and staff lines. As our public universities and colleges in New York State become less attractive and more expensive, students will no longer view "public" as a viable alternative to "private” in post secondary education. As fewer and fewer students attend SUNY schools, the vicious cycle, of a declining university will continue, until all that will be left of the dream of a thriving State University System in New York State will be simply a dream. that In balance, a $100 tuition increase probably would add slightly to the state’s revenue for next year. However, seen in light of the aforementioned facts and conditions, an increase in SUNY tuition is about the most inefficient and short-sighted method imaginable of balancing the State Budget. ... * * * • As with all issues of this nature, the only means to insure that this proposal is not implemented is through application of public pressure. A tuition hike will become a reality if the Governor perceives a lack of voter concern regarding this issue. In order to convey the serious objection we, as students and voters, have to any tuition increase, it is vitally important that we make our voices heard. If you have 5 minutes and 1 5 cents to spare, please write to Governor Carey and express your concern. His address is; Hugh L. Carey, Governor Executive Chamber State Capital Albany, N.Y. 12224 Additionally, it will greatly enhance our chances of keeping a lid on tuition if the Governor receives criticism on his proposal from sources other than students. Please urge your parents to write letters to Governor Carey expressing their feelings regarding the proposed tuition hike. Letters need not be literary masterpieces. Three lines expressing your opposition will be very effective, especially when accompanied by letters from parents and students across the state. Such a state-wide effort is already underway. The clear answer misleading Strictly for laughs applying tier i ler “forced attrition”, hut the SUNY System would objection is also unpersuasive. First, few students were aware of the abortion coverage two years ago because it was not publicized on campus. And, secondly, careful reading of the company’s brochure shows that it was not listed among the inclusions to the policy, but was only indirectly mentioned as an exception to the exclusions. For Sub Board to have then a'ssumed that because there was no disagreement* with the coverage two years ago that there was positive support for it is dubious inferential reasoning. Further, even if Sub Board had surveyed the student body and found that a majority coverage of for abortion this would never justify a jforced payment which violated the rights of conscience of individual students. Next, the writers believe that abortion coverage is justified because maternity benefits are included in the plan. This argument certainly is no answer to the wanted inclusion procedures, question of the rights of conscientious objectors to The argument assumes a position of neutrality toward abortion and childbirth which conscientious objectors to abortion simply cannot share. Besides, the maternity coverage is limited especially in the case of a problem pregnancy. There is also no coverage for pre-natal care. The most disturbing fact about the letter is that abortion. nowhere do the writers concern over the violation of the rights of conscience represented by the mandatory payment for abortion. Perhaps they believe that a student's option of getting alternative insurance and then waiving the university plan gives conscientious objectors’ rights adequate protection. They do say that “all a student had to do if the school’s insurance policy wasn’t desired was show proof of an alternative insurance policy.” The truth is that “all students have to do” is pay more than double if they want comparable insurance elsewhere, a cost that is prohibitive for many students on limited incomes. These are the “clear answers” as yte see them.

In mid-1977 OPF.C froze prices. According to reports from the recent Abu Dhabi OPEC conference, most nations were dovish.

Researchers at UB's new Clinical Pharmacokinetics center will spend the next five years trying to answer just that question, thanks to a $2 million Federal grant. Doctors generally prescribe an initial "average” dose of medication then adjust the dosage based on the patient’s reaction. If the patient recovers, dosage is maintained or lessened and if his condition worsens, the amount of medication is increased. to a patient, “It’s not the best way of adjusting dosage,” commented Gerhard Levy, Distinguished Professor of Pharmaceutics and Director of the new research center. Levy and his associates will study ways to increase the safety and effectiveness of several different classes of drugs including antibiotics, analgesics, anti-asthmatics and anti-inflammatory agents.

F. 12:30 • 5 By carefully monitoring patients at three University affiliated hospitals, Levy will attempt to determine how various evnironmental 3nd genetic factors affect the absorption, metabolism and excretion of drugs in the body. Ground rules “The response of the patient depends on the concentration of drugs in his blood,” Lew said. Factors such as age, sex, diet, smoking labits, disease and use of other drugs may affect how well a drug acts in the body. “Once we know all of this, we can devise some ground rules, some scheme,” he said. Research will take place at Cooke-Hochstetter Mall on the Amherst Campus, Millard Fillmore Hospital, Buffalo Children’s Hospital and Buffalo General Hospital. The grant was awarded by the National Institute of Health based on the recommendation of a 13 member inspection team from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW).

The four officers sought to halt the elections on the grounds that students would be “irreparably harmed” if they were to take place. Although the officers were denied an injunction by the Student Wide Judiciary (SWJ), they sought an successfully injunction on the grounds that elections new were unconstitutional. After a hearing on the matter, the SWJ ruled October 31 that the elections were indeed constitutional. In balloting that began November 6, students elected Karl who Schwartz, headed the Advocate Party ticket, as SA President. student Meanwhile, apathy died, at least for a day, and in its wake was born a jeering, hostile crowd to greet Governor Carey as he arrived on for campus groundbreaking ceremonies for the new Light Rail Rapid Transit — System.

The Governor appeared to be taken quite aback by the demonstration, arranged by The Spectrum and SA, and attempted to reduce the crowd’s hostility with some half witty, off-the-subject remarks about the Syracuse allocation. The crowd was not mollified and a sweaty, stone-faced Carey left the arena with the chants of the crowd still ringing in the air. Four days later, Carey was reelected to his second term of office, Buffalo news "You're probably wondering how •rot where I am For the real beer lover. today In regional The news, reported Spectrum on the Department of Transportation’s decision to widen Grover Cleveland between Highway Bailey and Millersport only two feet on each side on the highway. DOT had planned on widening the roadway five feet on each side uprooting nearly 100 trees in the process. The DOT yielded to citizen pressure. The Spectrum also presented a three part series on “redlining” by area banks. Redlining occurs when banks label an area a bad risk and systematically refuse to authorize home mortgages and improvement loans in that area. The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) accused area banks of redlining certain inner city neighborhoods in Buffalo. The close of the semester saw the SA Senate, in what Schwartz called the height of absurdity, vote to postpone the SA elections that had taken place six weeks before. At the same time, the legislative body voted to dissolve The Spectrum and replace it with a new campus newspaper headed by former SA officials jilted in November’s elections. The newspaper remained unaffected by the vote. �O Martin Luther King --V *o BiafiBraya Buffalo remembers Student rush crowds Amtrak Buffalo community leaders commemorated the Rev.

UB Student Association (SA) President Karl Schwartz calls State funding of athletics ‘‘the way to go,” but he too wonders out loud where the money will come from. President of the Student Association of the State University (SASU) Steve Allinger is more confident. While Allinger doesn’t see it as likelv that the Legislature will include the extra funds in the State budget, he believes the chances are “good” that there'll be money lor the plan in next fall’s Supplemental Budget. ncept of the One reason for Allinger’s optimism is the phasin proposal. The Stale would assume one third of the expenses athletics that students now pay in the first year about S500.000 and then gradually complete the transition in about three ears “Thai's not a lot of money next to a SI2 billion budget." Allin tented, referring to the total New York State budge Endangered programs Instability and lack of continuity have plagued SUNY co-curricular activities for years with varying degrees of impact. At SUNY Cortland, a major physical education center, 39 to 40 percent of mandatory fees go for athletics alone, according to Allinger, which endangers the well being of music and theater programs. Cries for funding are heard from SUNY Oswego, which is “tens of thousands in debt” according to Allinger, and from SUNY Potsdam and New Palo. One school which has rejected the notion of State funding is SUNY Stony Brook. Student government president Keith Scarmato has accused SUNY Central of “holding the carrot out to gain more control over co-curricular activities.” Scarmato warned that State funding, and the loss of student control that might accompany it, would be “a serious step backward” for student government. Conspiracy Ad State University of New York at Buffal 1978-1979 Student Directory Scarmato said he can’t believe the State would pick up the tab for co-curricular activities and raise tuition at the same time. SUNY tuition hikes have been proposed for fall 1979. Scarmato suspects a conspiracy to dupe student governments statewide into surrending power, while they continue to foot the bill, Allinger considers Scarmato’s fears groundless. “There’s no basis for such a theory in my estimation,” he stated. While Stony Brook appears unhappy with the SASU platform, student opinion seems fiarly unified behind SASLI. SUNY Buffalo and SUNY Albany, both major University centers, fully support SASU. Allinger termed Stony Brook “an anomaly,” indicating that a vote among student government leaders was “crushingly lopsided” in favor ofSASU, The SptCH\UM 355 Squire Hall Current enrollment levels at SUNY show a weakening base of support for mandatory student fees, lending credence to Allinger’s theory that “any program that must depend on student activity fees is doomed.

Slate funding could actually lead to a lone term decrease in program stability, a fact that is acknowledged bv both Schwartz and Bristow. Should budget cuts be required after a State funding plan is adopted, co-curricular activities would be very vulnerable to the fiscal scalpel. However, Schwartz asserted, “My feeling is there’d be more stability with the State.” Sal Hsposito. Chairman of the Department of Recreation, Athletics and Related Insttuction (RARI) here, also endorsed State funding, but pointed out that UB’s athletic department hasn’t had too bad a time with budgeting recently, since SA established a four year, flat sum budget in 1977. “The last two years have been the most stable we’ve ever had,” hsposito said.

One alternative to the State funding plan is the prospect of a co-curricular fee, the thought of which makes student government leaders recoil in horror. The imposition of this additional fee would remove control from students while forcing them to pay more money. Because the Stale’s Tuition Assistance Plan (TAP) does not cover student fees, a new fee would be harder to swallow than a tuition hike. California currently employs a two-fee system that is endorsed by students because it allows for student input in decision making. SA President Schwartz, argued that an additional fee would label co-curricular activities as “peripheral” despite almost unanimous agreement that they are integral to the educational function of the HMN 160 FILM NARRATIVE Screenings: Tues 5 . . are available in usforeign JOIN ! - and meet students . . . & A study of film narrative, based on discussions of films by: Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin; Pabst and Von Stroheim; Jean Renoir; and others. | and learn more about other countries, cultures I and use your native English Language Crosslisted: French 160, Theatre 360, College B 184 | | TTh 1-2:20, Nortn A 210 Inst; Richards, Reg no. 136365 Spanish American literature through interpretations of Mack experience in drama, poetry, and prose fiction.

Within its boundaries lie the oldest and one of the largest cancer research facilities in the world. Roswell Park is not an "ivory tower." Its facilities and services reach out to the community, as it maintains hospital a 7000 approximately treating inpatients and 65,000 outpatients annually. Roswell Park is a Division of the Graduate School of LIB, carrying on graduate research programs leading to masters and doctoral degrees. Roswell Park Graduate Division has its own faculty which conducts over 200 courses and approximately 550 labs per year. The faculty is all volunteer. Although they are paid for research “there is no additional salary for teaching,” said a Roswell Park spokesman. “We just had an evaluation completed and the evaluees were amazed at our volunteer faculty.” This three pronged approach of research, treatment and education, explains The Department Worker Charles Pokrandt, is the philosophy behind the Institute’s battle against cancer. Today’s Institute began in 1898 as a three room laboratory, through the Communications Though small in its early years, the Institute accomplished much, such as the Nation’s first chemotherapy program. Some early noteworthy vistors to the Institute included Madame Marie Curie, discoverer of radium, and then President William H. Taft. Much new construction took place at the Institute during the 1960’s and early 70’s, making the present Institute a multi-million dollar complex of more than twenty buildings. In 19 71, Roswell Park Memorial Institute was designated as one of nineteen comprehensive cancer centers in the country by the National Cancer Institute, a division of the National Institute of Health. According to Pokrandt, Roswell has been cited a? one of the two leading Cancer Institutes of these nineteen, the other being at Duke University, Cancer is the number two cause of death in the nation, second only to heart disease. At present rates, it is destined to afflict one of every four people and kill one of every seven.

Along with being cross country and track coach at this University, Gantz has competed in several Boston Marathons. His time of 2 hours and 28 minutes placed him 121st in this year’s event. “I’m an example of the addicted runner. The shoes go with me wherever I go," said the 33-year old Gantz, who currently runs 10 miles a day and who hasn't missed a daily jaunt in over seven years. Gantz maintains that although the study will consider the habits of both runners and joggers, there distinct differences between the two “Although these distinctions are arbitrary, the conception is that joggers are less into the sport, have less ability and also, they run slower.

Simmons 178, Fulton 177, Buboltz 176, Mostoller 171, and Terry Strassel 151 rounded out the Royal’s averages. Coach Bill Hughes reported that Lafayette College was "too big and too good” for his Bull cagers in the 81 49 tourney defeat on the Leopards’ floor. Junior center Nate Bouie was high for UB with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Bob Falconiero paced Lafayette with 18, Don Griffin added 17.

Bouie turned in another strong individual performance with 18 points and nine boards, junior Tony Smith adding 14 points and 10 rebounds. Drew Tucker, a 6’1” guard, hit 14 of 18 shots from the field and finished with 32 points for Florida Southern. The Moccasins had bowed to Drexel in the opening round.

GETTING NO BREAK: While most students relaxed during the semester break, the UB men's basketball, wrestling and women's bowling squads busy were competing in various tournaments around the nation.

In the competition. Sue Fulton (pictured below right) finished runner-up, with Cindy Coburn, in the team event behind host Arizona State. The Royals sank to sixth in the overall event when in the last of eleven games, they rolled almost 100 pins under their average of 900 per game. Center Nate Bouie (pictured shooting above) is one bright star shining amidst a lackluster season for the basketball Bulls. Bouie, a 6 6 junior from Kendall, N.Y. has previously received notoriety as being the cousin of Syracuse star Roosevelt Bouie.

Over the last two years, the department has shriveled from 12 to six full-time faculty members. Last spring, prior to iWdeparture of Professor Donald Rogers, the department was assured that it would not drop below seven faculty members. Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn’s Academic Plan states, “The Department of Communications is to remain for the next three years at its recently reduced level of seven full-time faculty.” That assurance, however, was contingent upon the economic condition of the University. According to University President Robert Kettcr, Bunn has stipulated that Communications would be maintained at seven barring a “financial crisis,” After repealed attempts, Bunn could not be reached for comment. ‘ - Unkept promise Associate Professor Gerald Goldhaber, who headed a search committee for the new instructor, was informed by Dean of Social Sciences Kenneth Levy that a tight budget precluded the January hiring. “If we go below seven,” Goldhaber warned, “we might as well have zero.” Goldhaber said that a graduate instructor from the top-ranked Purdue Communications Department had agreed to come to UB next semester. Her iield, he explained, is organizational communications an area lacking at this University. “It’s very disturbing because organizational communication is very important,” Goldhaber said, citing high student demand, “significant” enrollment and community involvement through internships as proof of its importance. Howie Gartenberg, a graduate student in Communications, was also upset by the upkept promise, calling it a “disservice to the University.” According to Gartenberg, the Communications Department will probably be forced to resort to drastic reductions in services if the line is not filled. These reductions, he said, could include the abolishment of undergraduate organizational communication courses and the elimination of internships and independent studies. There is also a possibility that required courses for majors will be offered less often. These measures, Gartenberg concluded, would “cripple indergraduates.” President of the Communication Department’s Graduate Student - —continued on page 14— 'Down with the Shah' Iranian students demonstrate Iranian political activists continued their protest drive here Friday as 65 Iranian sludents.and residents at Buffalo encircled the Squire Fountain repeating anti-Shah chants. Shouting “Down with U.S. Imperialism” and “The Shah is a murderer”, the group traversed the snow-covered fountain area, the political gathering place at UB for the last decade. protests Anti-Shah have increased in both this country and Iran noticeably since the beleaguered Iranian leader imposed martial, law six weeks ago. In an attempt to win freedom for foreign control and to end the military government of Iran, 19,000 oil workers have struck, sending shock waves that are being felt throughout the world. Oil production in Iran has already dropped over 85 percent and the drop in the world oil supply is certain to hike prices. Economists are worried that the imminent price increases could speed a U.S. recession, which had already been forecast for 1979. The United States has supported the Shah since 1953, when the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) overthrew a constitutionally elected Iranian government. While President Carter continues to back the Shah, thousands of political murders have stunned Iran in recent weeks. The demonstrators proclaimed Monday a day of mourning for the slain Iranian rebels. — — WANTED Campus representative for national LSAT Preparation Course. College'junior pre law student preferred.

"Manipulation" was a primary concern of those questioned about the effects if illiteracy is allowed to go beyond the college level. Introductory composition teacher Marcie Sherman said, "If people don’t have linguistic skills how will they know what is being taken away from or granted to them?” She saw illiteracy as an 'assault on people’s ability to see things straight” and an impediment to one’s ability to wonder, question, and analyze independent of any instruments.” Composition instructor Michael Sartisky agreed. “The more that people understand the uses of language, the less susceptible are to they manipulation by it.” he said. Sartisky cited a “new language” in our society that has literates, our laws of government presented are legalistic in jargon. ’’The result? Mass alienated those who are literate. He claimed, “While the first function of all democratic Polarization governments is to provide disenfranchisement, English graduate student Kathleen Confer cited functional —continued on page 14 �Publish and perish? ' »' , ! by Dan Bowman Spectrum Staff Writer The emphasis on research in evaluating faculty performances has raised questions on teaching effectiveness and quality in a University labeled by Edward Katkin of Social Sciences, “a research production center.” Chairman of the Department of Economics J. Thomas Romans asserted, “Research is a necessary condition in evaluating instructors. It is the only valid and objective criteria available presently. Teaching performance is much more difficult to measure, if not impossible, he said. “Student evaluations may tell us if a teacher is presenting the material in a responsible and articulate manner, but they do not tell us if the instructor is relating material which is updated to include recent developments in his field.” Tenth best Results of a survey which monitored research and publishing ac tivity in colleges anil universities across North America have concluded that the UB Department of Economics ranks tenth in articles appearing in the major economicjournals per faculty journal member The Economic Inquiry ranked UB's department among first all publicly supported institutions The article points out that reserach should not be the only criteria for ranking departments. However, the survey typifies the importance major to which Sub Board receives dividend on insurance 0J Not everyone agrees with the relative importance of publishing articles.

Klepper. who will be up for tenure sometime next year, personal that his explained emphasis on teaching rather than brought research has him problems. “1 have put more time into teaching knowing that it wouldn't account. Tough choices Theje are-three options on how to spend the funds. The cash may be returned to the student policyholders; it may be used to lower future premiums; and it may be used for "general student benefit.” Black is opposed to returning the fee to each individual policyholder although he suspects there will be strong sentiment to do that." He said, “the difficulty in locating people and the high cost vs. low return rate” make this a poor alternative. Sub Board, said Black, is already looking at ways to reduce its insurance costs. The cash is a separate issue and Black favors the third alternative. “We should be able to do something lasting and significant with this money. It will be difficult to fill out the specifics but this should, be more than a six month program,” he said. Black forsees the possibility of expanding existing health care service or creating new ones.

The President doubled Reichert’s story. "We do not have the luxury of holding on to letters for a month or two months.” he explained. Walter Kunz, who was acting Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) Dean at the time said he received the letter in Februrary and also questioned Reichert’s memory. “There were many discussions on this matter before then [ May)Kunz said. 1' Reichert recalled that he did not bring the letter before the Faculty Senate or tne Executive , The Office of Admissions and Records wishes to announce the • & »*»W r Many revelations later Reichert’s MM 11 M•» Mlt»• �(Monday — Friday) - though, to arrangements.

Although he expects to have all recommendations in by the end of the semester, Ketter explained that a “cooling off" period may be necessary before his final decision is made. Thus the University may have to wait until January to learn who will control undergraduate Pannill, Peradotto, programs in Health Sciences Bunn or some combination. unusual - ----------------Hi Buy 1 (single) order... get the 2nd (exact same) order FREE with this coupon.

(See The Spectrum, page 1, December 8) The letter would probably have been of immense interest to the Faculty Senate, since its wording cut directly against a Senate committee report urging that full control over all undergraduate education be vested in the DDF Dean. Coincidence is highly unlikely; conspiracy nearly impossible to prove. Thus, the missing letter is still many revelations away from being explained. Meanwhile, the President’s Academic Cabinet met Monday to wrestle with the Health Sciences dispute for about two hours. Ketter said that he has asked Bunn and Pannill, as well as other cabinet members, to prepare statements on how to resolve the vastly different interpretations of the February I letter.

First, claims on the 76-77 policy were allowed to be filed up to a year after the policy coverage ended. New York Life checks were mailed to students as late as August of this year.

Expires Dec. 30, *78 ■ �Common Council i Academic Planning a. Reopening law grading Despile controversy over the UB Law School’s complicated grading system, recently released results of a student grade referendum, showed that a majority of law students are content with the present system and do not wish it to be changed. Yet, last Friday Several members of the Academic Planning and Policy Committee (APPC). convinced the rest of the Board to reopen the issue in February. The grading system now used by the Law School consists of four letters, 11,0. D. and F. According to President of the Student Bar Association. Tony Leavy, there were two major reasons which sparked the concern of the APPC. Faculty members were receiving phone calls from employers who were unfamiliar with the letters used for grading, leading the faculty to believe that the grading system could be negatively affecting the employment outlook of graduates. In addition, since the letter 0 is UB’s equivalent to undergraduate B ahd C grades, there was concern over the justification behind having one grade take on such extensive weight. The referendum questionaire was given to the students of the Law School early in the fall semester, it covered both the employment question and the nebulous quality of the 0 grade. Included was a question to change the D to a P and the 0 to a G, because certain faculty members feel the D and 0 have negative connotations and might be bad for the self-image of the students. The APPC felt a P would be more palatable to students than a D. Dissatisfaction among members of the Law School concerning its grading system, was brought to the attention of APPC last spring. Leavy was running for the position he now holds and he proposed that the student body should have a say in the future of their grading system. Once elected, he successfully carried out that proposal. 1 I Life outdoors fbrpaySi'Am | • group work and humanistic methods, helping youngsters learn their Jewish Heritage in a democratic atmosphere.

According to Law School Dean Thomas Headrick, 90 percent of the professors get their grades in on time.

Bunn met a difficult task in accepting the VPAA position and then setting out to develop an Academic Plan for this University. Three months and 37 issues ago, we opened the fall semester with a pledge to provide the University with a deeper analysis, better accuracy, higher quality newspaper and attitude to continually refine The more features sincere Spectrum. Midway through the year, the pace in these offices is still a dizzying one and there is hardly time to step back and look at all that we have done. Others are not so hesitant; and their comments have appeared regularly on the succeeding pages. Whatever conclusions are drawn about the performance of the paper this year must necessarily look at the whole: not at an individual stroke of brilliance or blundering, or even a series, but at the issue-to-issue accuracy, timeliness and substance To - - . looking toward the future, Bunn was not expected to perform miracles; but merely to lend coherence guidance and times in higher education everywhere, especially in New York State, and no one. we think, expects an administrator or an administration to save the University from reality. Bunn's borrow one of But. between a somewhere most-expertly-used devices: quo to the status and a carefully-worded surrender spirited rejection of all that is inevitable about this place lies the attitude we hoped would be brought to academic planning. Judging by the draft of his • Academic Plan, Ronald Bunn does not agree. If education and how to plan for it is the question, then Bunn begs it really on by choosing define what this University is all about. not to special editorial This, of course, does not doom the plan to failure, but merely burdens the succeeding 60 pages with that of defining and applying a guiding attitude about education. The plan leaves an extra task — that task untouched as we are led through very equally sensitive to all needs. Now, any such document requires reading between the lines, but we cannot find what we are for the plan says little, if looking for even there — naything, about educating students. And there is no reason to believe that it was meant to. Thus, the Academic Plan fails not in its style or substance, but in its mission. fn place of an attitude about education that can be brought to planning, we find Bunn's emphasis on "process." "The processTry which we plan, the values that shape that process and the confidence we place in ' Process, of course is abstract and difficult to attack because it is merely a means to a means to an end. To pjace faith in the process by which we plan and leave unanswered what attitude should be brought to education Is fo expect the pedals to bicycle you to work while your legs rest.

We see these questions development that is as centra to planning / and priorities and no less important than; How do we increase research output? How do we attain national prominence? How do we serve the non traditional student? How do we prevent duplication among neighboring schools? How do we help along affirmative f action? And how do we maintain the ability to attract top scholars? All of which are addressed in Bunn's plan and influence his priorities. Astoundingly, Bunn places a heavy emphasis on self-improvement and barely mentions teaching or students. Well, among the things to be improved here are the attitudes students, faculty members, department heads, deans and administrators like Bunn bring to education. There is no way to separate this need from a except arbitrarily statement on planning and priorities. This University turns out graduates who cannot critically analyze the world around them. Could this have been worth a sub-heading? That the former group of questions bears a to General Education's strong resemblance again does absolve the Academic not principles Plan. While we have a committee that is charged to consider such questions, we are left with a planning statement that assumes no similar obligation, as if General Education will or should be some appendage to what goes on here. After originally shying from the challenge to define what attitude should be brought to — education, Bunn is left to randomly pluck certain like what to do with veteran faculty concerns and have who may lost their taste for research that headings begin vague into to whittle them priorities; complementarity as masquerade breadth of programs, selective development, etc We have earlier editorialized on the opposite thrusts of General Education and the Academic Plan. While the former seeks to re-direct warped enrollment patterns, the latter uses those patterns as a planning base. Such a paradox is now upon us because of the plan's misguided mission, that after failing to speak from an attitude about surrenders to the status quo in education — — worded terms. We are not desperately longing for some utopian "vision" or romantically lamenting the days when "philosophy" was affordable. We feel academic planning at this University requires a perspective that knows something about how students and faculty meet for the purposes of education. Without that perspective, the Plan cannot even begin to meet the test of its mettle. Yes, we have limited resources. Yes, we must re-distribute them. Yes, it will be a difficult task.

'■ A ’■ A newspaper with any claim to being responsive to its readers desires no, demands continuous criticism of its efforts. In this, we have succeeded. But the criticism has sometimes attacked The Spectrum' s. overall performance without seeing the need to look at the paper from an equally broad perspective. The most dramatic, and disturbing, example of sweeping criticism from a narrow perspective is of course the attempted dissolution of The Spectrum by the Student Association Student Senate. But there have been others. We are in the business of making judgements judgements on issues, actions and policies that affect this University. Thus we expect to be judged ourselves, perhaps more regularly and more pointedly than any other organization on this campus student, administrative or otherwise. But judgement for its own sake is less than valuable unless it is arrived at by an evaluation of all that we have attempted, all that we have realized, and the gap between the two. We are thankful for criticism that attacks us topically: issue by issue, stand by stand. And to prove it we have a bulletin board decorated with friendly and not so friendly reminders. But criticism that is aimed at The Spectrum as a newspaper ought to first look at The Spectrum as a newspaper. That is what we ask. It is apparently too much to ask of the SA Senate, but perhaps not of our readers. We intend to keep up the work good or bad that we ourselves to in September. No agency but the State of set New York may keep us from that. But along the way, we want to ultimately be judged not as a collection of editors, or a collection of stories, or a collection of editorial stands, but as a newspaper that has set its sights perhaps a trifle higher than its predecessors. Thanks. And see you in January. .v be As Bunn himself states, an Academic Plan, however carefully formulated.MS not a substitute for continuous judgement and leadership. But it is a reflection. Given the non-leadership in the VPAA and President's office before Bunn arrived, we believe the University should have expected more of the Academic Plan: more candor in ranking priorities; more active rather than reactive responses to disturbing enrollment patterns; more discussion of why this University truly needs such a statement (above and beyond the fact that the President asked for it); and finally, more attention to education how to plan for it, how it affects funding priorities, how it is tied to enrollment — patterns if you must. have little to say about the plan's specific comments on the various units, or on the easily discernable trend toward the professional schools and away from the Arts and Sciences. Both are results of an equation we feel is inapplicable- to this University. In that respect, the plan is as predictable as the third side of a right triangle. But education remains the question. The status quo in all of its imposing complexity and misleading urgency will not be the answer. Rewrite it. — — �esdaywednesdaywedne feedback "V { "4 2 9 Lost sight Recharter *The Spectrum’ To the Editor As The Spectrum so convincinly pointed out in Monday's editorial, I think the students should know why the Senate voted to abolish The Spectrum. 1 am not a “revenge-seeking ader” or an Editor out to save my job, but a student who wishes to see a newspaper that functions as a voice for the people who support it through mandatory fees the students. As Monday’s editorial noted, there are ligitimate complaints about The Spectrum and as most of these complaints deal with the charter of the newspaper itself, the only way to resolve these complaints is to change the current charter. In particular, I refer to the process of selecting an Editor-in-Chief and the subsequent selection of Editorial Board members; a self-perpetuating procedure which reflects the age old question: Which came first the chicken or the - egg? What you at The Spectrum fail to realize is that the students wish to determine the appointments and policies of their newspaper we are tired of the abuses of our fees in the form of extravagent salaries: such as that of Mr. Finkelstein. You speak of censorship . . yet how many times have legitimate student opinions been censored because they do not agree with the policy determined by the Editor-in-Chief. In fact, 1 doubt this letter will be printed because it is not in the best interests of Jay Rosen; while I feel it is in the,best interests of the students an interesting paradox. In an editorial such as today’s you should state the complaints levied against The Spectrum, not just to whitewash the issue by questioning the mental health of our Senate. Also, you should make it clear as to why the University Police were asked to remain they were there to insure at The Spectrum office - . - To the Editor. that no The Spectrum property was removed by either The Spectrum staff or the Senate. In short, not to they were there to protect student property hinder The Spectrum operation. Failure to indicate this is completely misleading to your readers; you are paid to deliver the facts and owe this to your readers. In such a decentralized University as this we need an effective newspaper to keep the students informed and together. And if the students feel that the newspaper is not performing in this respect, they must have the power to change it for their benefit. The current The Spectrum charter is incapableof allowing this. I agree that the Senate itself should not have this power for just the reasons mentioned in the editorial. But, the student body should have this power by referendum, as the petition presented on Friday was intended to show. What I propose is a committee comprised of, and elected by the students of this Univerisity to recharter The Spectrum. This charter would take effect when approved by the student body. However, this procedure can only be hence the initialized by our elected government “Legislated Lunacy” of Friday’s Senate meeting. In closing, I wish to note that although The Spectrum is a non-profit corporation in itself, As Friday’s Student Senate meeting progressed, it became apparent to me that many Senators have lost sight df the purpose of the SA Senate and their function in it. The Student Senate was created for the benefit of all undergraduate students at the University of Buffalo. It provides a forum whereby the problems and needs of undergraduate students may be aired and hopefully solutions may be worked out. Student Senators are the vehicle by which these issues are brought to the floor, discussed and resolved. A Senator’s personal considerations must be secondary to the whole process. The students are the key it is their benefit and well-being that we should be working for. Some rather drastic changes were proposed during the Senate meeting last Friday. Thses changes may or may not be to the benefit of the Student Association, but one thing that should be considered as decisions are being made is their effect on the student body as a whole. If student leaders are able to keep these few thoughts in mind, we will all be one step closer to providing students with the full benefit of their $70. Monday’s editorial was written by paid employees of While perusing Monday’s The Spectrum editorial concerning the SA Senate’s resolution to abolish your newspaper, I came upon a passage which was truly laughable. It read: "Presumably if this (the “new”) newspaper commits the same sins as The Spectrum, it too will be destroyed; as will its successor; and its successor’s successor until there is a newspaper that pleases the SA Senate.” I agree that this would be a ridiculous turn of events, but just a small amount of hindsight here will show that this absurdity has already occurred and was fully endorsed by The Spectrum! Case in point: the most recent SA election fiasco where a mindless president arbitrarily removed the entire executive committee by calling for general elections. What if the current president also decided that members of the executive committee were not obliging his every whim, and felt they should be punished for it; he too could call for several elections. This process could go on indefinitely until we finally get a president who is satisfied with the people he has been elected to work with. Neither the Senate’s attempted abolition of The Spectrum nor the President’s successful abolition of the Executive Committee is anything less than ridiculous, yet one is condoned and the other chastized. Such is life at UB. - — that corporation; who have more than a casual interest in the continuence of that corporation in it’s present form. So, to the undergraduates of this University (of which I am one); Do not be influenced by “revenge-seeking leaders” or yellow journalism, but draw your own conclusions as to what lies in the best interests of this University. Thomas IV. Moxon - Preserve ‘The Spectrum’ To the Editor in the administration should, in fact, feel we agree with them toooften. But the bottom line is that we need an independent editorial voice. Under only the most compelling circumstances should this consideration be set aside. The Spectrum staff members may express views and interpretations which are obnoxious to some campus groups perhaps even to a campus majority but any observer knows that they have also kept the pages of this paper open to any and all responses and opposing views. 1 urge The Spectrum opponents to use this avenue to get their views across and not to of this important interrupt publication newspaper. and uncomfortable if I write to urge the University community to protect the integrity and independence of The Spectrum. I urge this as a consideration that should override the rights and powers of the various groups involved in current SA battles. To displace this staff even temporarily would, I believe, be an act of political expediency and indiscretion that would discredit any group undertaking it. As a onetime editor of a college newspaper the University of Rochester Campus more years ago than 1 care to recall I can speak to the high quality of The Spectrum. This is a top notch newspaper. Certainly the staff makes occasional errors. So do we all. Certainly they say many things with which I disagree. What paper does not? We on the faculty — - Guest Opinion — Sean J.

We saw a need to pull SA together when Rich Mott resigned,’ and since we were elected to office in November, we have been working for you. We spent many long hard hours preparing a response to Dr. Bunn’s proposed Academic Plan and had it prepared to send out to him. All that remained was to sign and mail it to Dr. Bunn, but Karl Schwartz, SA President, felt it was a response of such magnitude that we should present it to the SA Senate for approval. While skeptical of the expertise of the Senate in academic matters, we agreed to present it at last Friday’s meeting. After minimal discussion and explanation, the vote was taken, 18 for approval, 15 against, and a few abstentions. Karl Schwartz then added a meaningless rider to the end of the response. It merely asked Dr. Bunn to continue to solicit input from SA in matters of Academic our reason, beyond negative votes now found the document acceptable, and except for a few abstentions, the response was unanimously approved. Does this seem a bit irrational to you? We hope not, because it was the most rational decision that the SA Senate made in its six and a half hour meeting on Friday.

As a Humanist Counselor, long time member of the American 2 5 Humanist Association, and former Executive Editor E of the magazine, 1 am shocked that Wilson and toa | ° 2 > a | J talent and just one energy. The outrageous attack on Kurtz is more example of the typical character assassination technique used by a small group of members in the AHA to maintain oligarchial control. This behavior represents a heinous role for an organization that professess to be a humanist one. Edwin Wilson is currently enjoying his fifteenth year of retirement from the Association, and why he has allowed his private feelings to be exposed publicly in this sordid controversy, 1 cannot explain. But since he has used his former position in the AHA to raise the charges against Kurtz, I feel that some qualification should be added here. First, Wilson and a faction on the Board of Directors of the Association which he represents, know perfectly well that the magazine has always operated under a deficit, that there is nothing unusual about such deficits, especially building up circulation. He also knows that circulation has never been so high either under his administration, or any of the previous editors. Second, he knows, with the entire Board of Directors that Paul Kurtz has served faithfully as editor at great sacrifice of his time, family obligations, and energy without receiving any salary for the past fen years. Many notable members of the Association and the previous Editorial Board feel that those who put up Wilson to writing this letter, and others, are guilty of destroying the humanist movement precisely at a time when it is most needed to combat the mounting waves of irrationalism and superstition sweeping the forty years of removing leaders with S S furor minority of the Association have chosen demean the Association with continued attacks in the press and even here at the University. One prominent former editor of the editorial board has already expressed his own sentiment of being “scandalized” by the “tone, content and betrayal of humanist principles,” contained in these attacks. The central issue here, I believe, concerns the ambitions of the newly appointed Editor of the Fransisco a San Morain, Lloyd Humanist businessman and major financial contributor to the American Humanist Association He bought and still owns the AHA headquarters in Amherst where the Humanist is housed. In a recent board meeting he indicated that hie would withdraw his energy and financial support if he was not installed as editor of the Humanist The matrix presented here is not a pleasant one. Many members of the Editorial Board of the Humanist feel that Morain is attempting to “buy” the Association, and that he is using his money to sustain his position there. The story is a long one, which goes back many years. Space does not permit telling it in this letter. But in a recent letter to Betty Chambers, President of the Association, 1 stated objections concerning any individual’s tampering with the AHA program with undue financial pressure, for any reason (“to save it for example”). I expressed there is reason to suspect “some kind of foul play” in not only the way in which Paul Kurtz was treated, but also with other past officials of the magazine and the Association. The reason for their dismissals has always been similar, “the business end” of the publication or Association. Near the center of the strife was, and is Lloyd Morain. Previous-- administrators and editors include Keith Beggs, who was a notable figure in the Coalition to End the Death Penalty in California; Toby McCarroll, who won the right of non-theists to be conscientious objectors in the Supreme Court decision McCarroll vs. Melvin Laird in 1968; as well as others including Pricilla Robertson, Arthur Jackson and George Von Hilsheimer III, who testified with Dwight MacDonald at the now small infamous Eros Magazine IRd\ph Ginsberg obscenity trial. The AHA haf followed a pattern for the last nation. Some also feel that for decades under the uninspired pedestrian leadership of Wilson, the AHA vegetated as an inconsequential movement. The Humanist under his editorship was little more than a organ of the AHA. It is only under the editorship of Paul Kurtz that the Humanist has become as vital and important a periodical as it has, and in turn brought the AHA into public house A significant portion of the 500 or so acres of land on which FSA now pays taxes could be put to productive use if the land were leased with the option to buy, to a farmer who would grow cash crops. This would return the land to its former use and help maintain farming as a viable alternative in the northern part of the Town of Amherst. Some land ought to be kept for educational purposes, but up to 200 acres could probably be profitably farmed. At present, corn and cabbage are the main cash crops grown in Amherst. FSA could make the farming more attractive by agreeing to buy a significant portion of the produce for Food Service. One of the stipulations of the lease might be that Many Humanists deplore the position taken by Wilson and his faction, together with the ethically untenable manner in which their position has been expressed. I therefore urge fellow students to view this current rash of stories and letters as expressions of organizational infighting made public. I regret that 1 have been drawn into this public spectacle, but feel morally bound to provide a countpoise to the narrow views expressed in Wilson’s letter. James Robert Martin-Diaz Teaching Assistant department of English students be offered the available jobs on the farm. Hopefully, FSA would find a leaser or purchaser who would be interested in a return to farming which used minimal quantities of pesticides and herbicides and make maximal use of natural fertilizers. Framing would not necessarily remove the land from potential recreation or education or educational purposes since the farm might become a place to study alternative purposes since the farm might become a place to study small business aided by the expertise in the School of Management, and a place where students could cooperatively “bring-in the harvest”. Peter Gold Rachel Carson College Task Force censorship? To the Editor. After formulate reading the article, “SA Task Force to new guidelines in wake of poster,” in the December 6 issues of The Spectrum, it brought to mind hints of censorship. While I do not share the views of the Organization of Arab Students (OAS), I <fo believe that they have a right to express their points of view. What makes the United States great is the “freedom of speech” clause in the first amendment of the Constitution. The OAS, like the Jewish Student Union, has a point to make, and it is our decision whether to agree or disagree. It should not be left to the SA Task Force, or any other group, to decide what material the University community should be exposed to. Thig is suppose to be a “higher learning institution” where we ought to be exposed to all kinds of thoughts, views, and ideas. 1 think we are sensible enough to make our own decisions in what to believe. Gilbert Sang Cooperatives a reality To the Editor: This letter is in response to Ms. Roehmholdt’s comments on Nov. 29, concerning the real world. In August of 1978, Jimmy Carter signed the National Consumer Cooperative Bank Act. Thanks to this Act, the Coop Bank wilM>e able to loan up to $3 billion to consumers interested in creating cooperative businesses. In California a food coop employing 67 people sells $4 milhon worth of food each year. In Michigan an auto coop lets automobile owners service their cars without the worry of being ripped off by automechanics. In Baltimore, Washington and New Yorjc thousands of tenants are forming “sweet equity” coops to save their housing and to run it democratically, without landlords. ) » ; i [Cl & So you see, Susan, if you had done some research you would have realized that Coops all over the country are becoming reality. If people, especially students are interested in coops they can become reality. I for one love the idea of people working together for a common cause without ripping each other off. I work very hard to make sure that my reality of the record coop exists and will continue to exist. It is up to each of us to decide our own reality and not let some bureaucrat, who loves- talking take advantage of each of us, control our destiny. Remember if you believe in yourself it will surely happen but we still need each other if we want to reach our goals. Scott Lewis Treasurer.

Each month, or twice each month if response and finances arc good, we will present Mightier Than the Sword a University-wide showcase for thought and penmanship. The idea, quite simply, is to promote and display quality writing for the University community. This page will include only thoughtfully conceived and carefully written prose; so we expect that standards will remain fairly high. But this is not meant to discourage writers quite the opposite. We hope to foster an interest in quality essay-writing on campus, and reward that interest with prominently displayed and regularly published material that will become, in — — time, self-generating. We hope to add To the spirit of debate that fills our Letters to the Editor column with persuasive arguement which, while enlightening and clearly stated, is traditionally restricted in style and length. Mightier Than the Sword is an effort to sophisticate our function as a forum for debate, with the ultimate hope that Undergraduate students will take more of an interest in carefully written prose by reading and, finally, attempting their own. Although style is a primary concern, we also plan to limit content. But not by much. Essays will revolve around either academia (here and elsewhere) or the American Scene (here and everywhere). O&IAZYZ?* Anything goes within those two areas and anyone may contribute: students, faculty, staff and other interested (and interesting) members of the University community. Here you find the first stroke in Mightier Than the Sword, a piece by English Professor David Botelon, who gave much of the original impetus for this and project has provided consistent encouragement to writers at this University. So hark, scribes of the State University! Lay down your swords, scarfs and ski-caps and pick up your pens, january 24 is the next deadline for Mightier Than the Sword. We will answer all —). R. inat •tries before then at 831-5455. To My Clients and Colleagues: by Professor David T. Bazelon, Department of English and Elsewhere The basic problem of higher education in the United States is that almost everybody wants to go to Harvard. Late one night a few weeks ago, thinking as I often do of the problems of higher education, etc. in moments of sleeplessness, the solution burst into view: Let Harvard adopt the other 2500 schools and issue a degree headed Universitatus Harvardensis to ail of their graduates. This would constitute not only a major leap into'gcneral and total equality but could also clear the way for a realistic and reasonable discussion of what to do with these four years besides lusting after the Harvard thing. Put differently, what are doing here? Or should or could be doing here, at Buffalo? As for the trade school people, they seem to know what they are doing here, and I think we all might wish them well. Bon voyage! But what ship do the rest of us board, and where is it going? Will it ever get there? Will w£ like it if it does? Should we jump ship now? Etc. An "ideal” university for undergraduate, uncommitted students those denizens of the deep four years would be a place where for possible opportunities the best learning-deVelopment would be available to just the kind of people then-and-there. (Note the important terms: learning, people, — — opportunities.) Learning-development is, of course, the key to it all. Unhappily, learning is not the same as teahing. Indeed, they are all too often not even kissing cousins. Certainly not if by "learning-development” one means learning from teaching, all of which becomes in fact a real part of a student’s development as an individual a developed individual who can do more than prove he was taught something like what the teacher intended. Learning is for learners; teaching is for — teachers. Two different activities, two different kinds of people. And the real learning is infinitely idiosyncratic. (I’m not altogether sure what real teaching is.) In a word, you students should spend no matter who the four years learning what they happen to be teachers are or for most of you it is not doing. After all, but your first last chance. your I can speak to these issues so tellingly because I am a professional student and an amateur teacher. Therefore, I sit comfortably between the contending inhabitants of this confused campus. I even understand the administrators since I’ve always had a strong feeling for businessmen, often thinking (in moments of sleeplessness) that perhaps I should have gbne into plastics instead like the guy in The Graduate suggested. and, I am guessing, not This University now stands in fair danger of just this one becoming an established Community of — — — — Regret and Resentment. The students most specially regret the High Togetherness of the Sixties, and the teachers most clearly resent the Low Growth of the Seventies. student or The younger you are teacher the more important it is to you to get out, or do something about it. a; I have an idea what to do about it, and I want to share it with you. Talk to each other. About what? Well, to begin with, endure a broad agenda, including gripes and groans and other youthful mannerisms. But finally and mainly, you should be talking to each other about what you’re learning, and wanting to learn. And you are not going to learn anything, at best you will memorize something, without this deep and wide and long exchange. For purposes of education (and much else besides), this kind of talking is the truest beginning, the highest end and, as well, .the fattest part of the middle. Most jdassroom learning you get does not become your own until you elaborate and confirm it in conversation with another student. Talk, talk, talk. But real talk. That is, in the full number 361-12-6032, seriously inner majesty of the potential range of to number questioning back-and-forth This-that-and-the-other. And then do it again tomorrow; maybe it will work out better the next time. With less regret and resentment, let me put it this way; Learners are not going to — — — — — learn very much if they don’t establish the deep habit of talking to each other about what they are learning, think they are learning, or want to learn instead. What you get from teachers in classes should feed this process, not substitute for it. Unless students talk across dormitory floors and other cozy arrangements, and even professors learn to talk better across disciplines and other career resentments, the best learning and teaching of which the will actual people here may be capable .. . not occur. as some suggest Failing that, maybe we all ought to leave. But even an exodus would have to be thought about and talked about and organized, otherwise we might inadvertently all end up, together, in another — — Place again. A No Exit scene, American-style. Lastly, opportunities. Undergraduates do not really need Big Professors to adorn the environs. They might benefit, however, from more teachers talking to rather than at them. -But nothing will come to much if a segment of undergraduate, significant uncommitted students do not do more, even their utmost, to create a culture of students which consists of something other than hot tips on the latest drug shipment or'most active bar or coziest crib-course.

Sigma Pi on patrol To the Editor Sigma Pi Fraternity would like to take this opportunity to announce a student-volunteer walking “patrol unit” on the Amherst campus. Twenty-five members of the fraternity have organized themselves and volunteered their time and effort to the University Police and the University community. Fraternity president Sam Faraone and Mike Wolkoff, who were responsible for the formation of this program, presented their ideas to University Police Assistant Director Wayne Robinson. The fraternity members, as a whole, feel that their efforts can help to make this campus and its residents safer. The "two-man unit’’ is tailed the “Sigma Pi Patrol and they work in the Putman Way (Spine) area buildings as well as in the surrounding lots and roadways. Sigma Pi Patrol is in operation from Sunday through Thursday evenings from 9:30 p m until midnight. We wish to welcome the members of the Sigma Pi Fraternity and extend to them our appreciation for their dedication and concern. If you see the men of the “Sigma Pi Patrol” working, stop and say hello.

If they are sincere, then the time for being apathetic is over, the time to prepare is upon you. It is never too early to prepare for law school. The preparation process should begin from day one your freshman year! For loo many seniors the fundamental questions remain unanswered Is law school for me? What will I do with a law degree? Will I be able to get into law school? Have I done all 1 can do to prepare for law school? Do I fully understand the application process? By this time it may very well be too late. Your undergraduate years are a prelude to law school. Therefore, you/ must step back from the drudgery of your day to day routines and analyze where you are and What you will have to do to fulfill your aspirations of going to law school. The Bottom Line is simply this you must take an active role in preparing for, your future. Don’t wait for the future to overtake you and immerse you in confusion. Be prepared! The preparation should-cOme from two sources. First, most importantly it must come from within through self-analysis. LaW school wdl be a more pleasant experience if you can come to a fundamental understanding of why you are there. Secondly', preparation through a group. It is there where you can acquire much needed information. You will meet people with different perspectives and The story by Plena Cacavas in the December 6 edition of TVie Spectrum on the 'election for bargaining agent for staff and faculty members contains a number of inaccuracies. The most serious is the failure to mention that one alternative available is to choose “no agent”. This is a meaningful choice for many staff and faculty members. By not mentioning this possibility, Ms. Cacavas has done a great disservice to a number of readers. The American Association of University Professors has a long history of defending the right of every member of the University community to enjoy and employ free speech. We regret very much the failure of The Spectrum to mention the right of staff and faculty members to vote for “no agent”. Joseph Masting. President U/B Chapter. A A UP backgrounds.

However, they may not have command of all the possibilities for cohesion in extended written discourse.” Mina Shaughnessy in her book, Errors and Expectations , concurred. “Next to the rich orchestration spoken of language,” she stated, “writing is but a line that moves haltingly across the page.” Shaughnessy warned that if illiteracy is not combatted at the at the latest college level writing will remain a trap rather than an expressive outlet for — — thoughts. 3 ... under-emphasized.” iji . -continued Chairman Romans contends "The publish or perish” doctrine is fair.

He claimed, “The the system here stinks. Professors are encouraged to do things that take away from their primary purpose for being at this University.” Schwartz identified that purpose as teaching. SA has administration been lobbying officials for the establishment of a “Teaching Effectiveness Committee”. Schwartz forecasts an operative committee early in the spring semester. Schwartz stressed that President Robert University Ketter “really had a bad attitude about research and teaching.” “A great teacher,” Schwartz claimed, “will be pressured to do research if he hasn’t been doing enough.” But he added that, “It is rare that a great researcher will be pressured to improve the quality of his teaching if he is a bad instructor.” Romans admits, “I’ve seen cases where research has hurt the quality of teaching, but in general, research tends to be more beneficial to the students.” “1 admit that the University is to undergraduate insensitive -Students who need sensitive and experienced teachers,” Vogel said.

Communications... —continued from page 2— Association David Habbel said the tentative reductions were arrived at through the general concensus of professors and graduate students. Habbel stressed that the proposed reductions are not an attempt to force the administration to provide the line. “It’s not so much a threat as a probable outcome,” he said. “We thought we had a commitment,” Habbel said. “Now we want a straight answer.” Levy, new to the Deanship this year, said that the department was authorized to hire someone for this September. However, he explained, the search procedure for the new faculty member did not meet with University Affirmative Action guidelines. “It’s not Bunn’s fault that the guidelines weren’t met,” said Levy. “It’s the department’s fault it didn’t get the appointment for last September.” However, according to Goldhaber, Levy urged the department to search for a candidate for this spring semester. Search procedures were approved by the Affirmative Action committee, he said, and were awaiting the administration’s approval. Levy admitted recommending the search, saying a candidate should be at hand in case funds were available. But, he explained, funds are not available. “I do not have the dollars to pay the salary,” he said. Unless there is a death or someone takes a leave without pay, he continued, no new faculty can be hired for January. At the end of January, next year’s budget will be released, Levy said. He will then determine whether or not the line can be filled for fall 1979. “I am definitely not ruling it out,” he said, “but 1 don’t want to fire people to fill a vacant line.” Goldhaber voiced fears that the prospective appointee, as well as two other qualified candidates, will have found other positions by next Fall. Levy agreed that this was likely, but unavoidable. “It is not very doubtful whether we can hire someone,” said Charles Petrie, Director of Graduate Studies for Communications. Petrie said the department is severely hampered by the ever-shrinking faculty. “We are not a high priority department,” he said. �sports *o ‘*8 Royals’best performance, but SJF wins, 103—67 If only it had been Saint Nick instead of Saint John Fisher on Monday night, then the women’s team might have had a basketball chance.

Distribution Love Canal continued from page b The Faculty Senate and the Colleges have been at odds since 1968 over the distribution question. Individual departments have sometimes objected to the Colleges moving in on their instructional territory while the Colleges feel handicapped in strengthening their enrollment without distribution credit to attract undergraduates. With operating budgets determined by enrollment figures, more than a semantical change is at stake for the Colleges, The Colleges’ themes, 11 in all. range from the problems of minorities and the urban poor College to considerations of health of Urban Studies studies and human services College H.

UB departments require all students to fill certain degree requirements in order to receive their diplomas. Tl\ey must complete 128 hours of credit, with 24 of these falling outside the discipline of the decided major. Interdisciplinary Chairman of the faculty Senate Newton Garver explained, “Distribution credits are necessary for the student to become a well-rounded individual, not just a technical and specialized beipg.” Since the Colleges’ courses are interdisciplinary in scope, a single course may touch on subject thus belying matter of the students’ discipline Carole Smith Petro, Associate Dean for the Colleges said a course must meet strict creitcria lea o rie ongma before being accep distribution requirements.

Although the first two rings of homes around the site have been evacuated, and promised homeowners reimbursement for their property, no such provisions were made for living residents the beyond designated areas. In recent weeks, members of the Love Canal Homeowners Association, an organization formed to press for more vigorous action by the state, have picketed the canal site demanding that remedial work be stopped until adequate protective measures have been taken. The recent dioxin findings have spurred more picketing action by of the Association. members Monday, four picketers were arrested as they marched along tfoe only entranceway to the canal work area. Two of the protesters were charged with disorderly conduct; the other two were arrested by Niagara Falls city police when they refused to move from the path of a truck entering the construction site. ‘Home to your children’ The picket group attempted to stop workers from entering the work site, expressing concern for worker’s health. President of the Homeowners Association Lois Gibbs called to the workers, “Don’t you know there’s dioxin in there and it’s dangerous to your health? You’ll be carrying it home to your children.” The group also sought to refuse to permit trucks to carry away dirt from the landfill, fearing that they would spread contamination through the neighborhood. Gibbs stated to the workmen, “You’re carrying dioxin out with you and wherever you go.” A group of concerned student at this University has taken action with the Homeowners Association to support their cause.

The memo further stated, “In some instances, they (instructors) actively misinformed students of the procedure and the deadline date.” The situation led to student complaints of not being eligible for the S/U option even though they had requested it within the old four week deadline.

Although the changes undergbne by this University are unique in themselves, they have obscured some of UB’s noteworthy singularities. The Arts and Sciences college, which found its home on the present Main Street Campus, is a relatively recent' UB’s history. With Congressman Mil' Fillmore as prime supportci teaching students about childbirth by actually watching one was first done here, resulting in a public furor and several lawsuits. The UB Med School was also the first one in the country to practice on animals. And Dr. Roswell Park, after whom the Roswell Park Memorial Institute for Cancer Research is named, was the first physician in the United States to receive public funds for search. the final years of 19th century, harmacy, Law and Dentistry schools were established, and quickly pros- UB held its first classes in medat a icine pered. small building on Washington This motley assemblage of and Seneca graduate schools Streets downtown in May of comprised the 1846.

Finally a full-service University, with Samuel Capen as the first full-time Chancellor, UB was on its way to becoming an international leader in education, renowned for liberal of which UB totally consisted until the Arts and Sciences school was initiated thirty years later. experimentation and academic freedom. This special issue, the first of a two part series dealing with the highlights of UB’s past, spans UB history from its birth in 1846 to the time UB became a SUNY school in the early sixties. The second issue to be published in the Spring will continue to the present, featuring radicalism of the riot years at the turn of the decade. excitement over where we were going we failed to preserve a sense of where we had been. Retaining autonomy UB’s growth after the SUNY system merger, and its transformation into a mere arm of a state-wide insititution, have led to a discontinuity of tradition. According to Shonnie Finnegan, director of the University’s Archives, the "State really hasn’t given much thought to retaining a A vanquished memory sense of autonomy here.” Why a special issue on UB’s And perhaps the most glaring history? Our school is a curious difference between UB and one whose growth hascome in comparable eastern schools where yet violent spurts and twists students can kick chestnuts into that isn’t the primary reason. the Charles River on the way to Today, this University has the same hall where John Quincy summarily vanquished the Adams attended classes, is that memory of its past and new UB keeps changing campuses on stands before a bleak future in a us.

Innovative master of creative academia moves UB into educational limelight When Samuel Capen was first appointed chancellor in 1922, he saw UB more as a diversity than a university. Established in 1846, University of Buffalo the consisted of'a loose association of professional and graduate schools housed at various facilities in downtown Buffalo. Its chancellors had previously been prominent civic leaders and attorneys beginning with the university’s first chancellor, Millard Fillmore. But while Fillmore went on to become the 13th president of the United States the university did not see a similarly meteoric rise. By the turn of the century, UB Medicine, had four schools Dentistry, Pharmacy and Law to which Chancellor Charles P. Norton added a college of arts and sciences in 1913. Then in 1920 Walter P. Cooke, Chairman of the College Council, raised a total of $5 million with which to establish a single, unified campus. He used part of the money to buy a portion of the old Erie County Almshouse which was to become the nucleus of the Main St. He then appointed campus. attorney John Lord O’Brian to head a committee charged to find a professional educator to be the new chancellor. O’Brian offered the chancellorship of UB to the widely' respected Capen who at the time was on the American Council on Education and had turned down many more attractive offers from other' colleges and universities. Capen was at first hesitent, but to O’Brian’s astonishment, he accepted his offer in June of 1922. — . While most universities consider their most important benefactor to have been their founder, Samuel Paul Capen gave UB something far more valuable than a mere beginning. Capen gave UB a foundation on which to stand and roots with which to Samuel P. Capen U r declared Capen, "It is an aggregate of scholars, voluntarily assembled for the pursuit of learning. Some are neophytes, some are masters of the craft of knowledge. "The quality of a university, and hence its reputation, depends on the persons who compose it,” he continued, "But if a university is not a place, it must nevertheless have a place of residence and it must have instructors to derhonstrate old truths and to hunt for new ones. Indeed, for the modern university a suitable habitation has become absolutely indispensable and just as a man's home becomes associated in ways with his intangible personality until it seems the visible manifestation of his essential qualities, so the buildings 1923 and became a'full fledge ? 1927.

At Foster Hall’s dedication ceremonies, Capen made the first in a long series of speeches spanning his 28 years as chancellor of UB in which he defined what a modern university should be and eloquently described its role in society. "A university is not a place. It is not a group of buildings,” "If the investigator is not suppressed, criticism of his findings leads to the uncovering of new evidence, to the disclosure of any errors in his procedure or conclusions, to ultimate refutation or to proof.

His vision and dedication wore the main thrust in the growth of UB from a loose collection of profaulbnal schools into a university based on the highest prihciples despite meager financial resources. His imprint on this University is little short of its actual existence. �* When Hayes Hail was an almshouse I I by Mary Kay Fisch Memories of UB grads in early years of Arts and Sciences School around that little college," related Emily Webster, another student of the 1920s. “It was called ‘the poorman’s college' and the street car college.’ Its reputation was in the building,” she said, remembering, “I think from the beginning that U8 was as good a college as they come." In 1920, a drive was held to raise funds for the new liberal arts school. LeWin remembers that he chased an open limousine down Delaware Avenue during a parade. When he caught up to it, LeWin asked Jhe Democratic Presidential candidate to endorse the drive, which he did. LeWin chuckled, “A little article, amusing to everyone, appeared in the papers saying that I had the audacity to stop the motorcade long enough to get him to sign the thing.” In the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as much of the University, “the overwhelming majority of the students were from Buffalo or Western New York,” recalled Horton, who graduated from UB in 1926. "The student body was much smaller and more homogeneous. They came from middle class families, avoiding both extremes of the social spectrum.” Most students lived at home or near the campus, as there were no dormitories. ‘The Dean of Women would search out and find an appropriate home for a girl. And you couldn’t live in just anyplace. You had to live in one of her approved residences,” recalled Webster. | A small, private, new liberal arts college does it sound familiar? Although this image is unrecognizable to many students | today, it is IB, the one that students knew S in the 1920s. The quiet University may live ft on only in the memories of its graduates. I oday, UB is scattered among numerous campuses. During the 1920s, the University jo a was similarly spread out, yet on a smaller scale, from downtown Buffalo to the Main | Street Campus. The Medical School was on High Street, the School of Dentistry on Goodrich, the Law School on Eagle Street and the School of Pharmacy in Orin Hall f (now Foster).

Buildings, cars, buses and masses of , people merge into the urban setting of today’s Main Street Campus, a stark contrast to the pheasants and even an occasional deer which roamed the front lawn among die apple trees. ‘Stiff House’ Before its renovation in the mid ’20s, Hayes Hall was the Hospital for the Erie County Almshouse, Today, Hayes houses the School of Architecture and Environmental Design. A cabbage patch provided the makings for soup. ‘The residents t»f the County Home were ignored by students as we went by,” recalled Harriet Montague, Mathematics professor emeritus. “We kind of shunned them. They were in another world as far as we were concerned. I guess that we were kind of self-centered.” History professor John Horton told of the "Stiff House," the small stone building, currently Hayes D. If bodies of the dead remained unclaimed, the "stiffs” were transported to the Medical School for anatomy class dissection. A very close connection existed between Buffalo doctors and Buffalo’s Medical School since most of the physicians were UB graduates.Dr. Thurber LeWin joined the UB Medical School faculty in 1927. He taught a course on the relationship of diseases of the mouth to diseases of the eye. "For 10 years, it was the only course in the United States in which there was a separate group of lectures devoted entirely to that little subject. The most important part, which Discrimination against women The old archivt, a classics class, Womtn'i lounga in Hayas Hall 'A woman cou/dn't live just any place " I ve often laughed at, was that it was the only time in my connection with UB that I was on the paid faculty,” LeWin commente . Contrary pre-medical to the four years of training currently required, LeWin studied for only one year in the School of Am and Sciences, housed in Townsend Hall. “The Arts was die only department and was quite weak.

As the only girl in her surveying course, Montague remembers, “Some of the boys thought that was a big joke. They didn’t let me use the instruments very much. They let me be the note-taker.” Although There were a large number of women at the University, discrimination did occur. Promotions came more slowly and women received less pay. The excuse women often heard was that “the men have responsibilities to support their families,” said Olive Lester, the first woman to serve as a department chairman in the College of Arts and Sciences. "It was just a stuff of nonsense, she continued. Montague recalls receiving an annual salary of $1800 and to receive $2000. "We were in a financial crisis in the depression,” she reported. "Without a dissenting vote, the faculty voted to take a 10 percent cut in pay, so I was back to COME TELL US HOW THEY LIVEDI Year of Grad. interested In: Peace Corps VISTA Application! and inhumation a.a a.ailable at tha office of the Council on �2 o Singing and marching to class 3 & < WWII cadets on campus by Kurt Rothenburger Looking through the splintering, double-hung windows of Hayes, Crosby or Foster Hall, today’s student senses that this University must have once existed in a world having nothing to do with busses, state bureaucracies and Ellicott Complexes. But how many can imagine rows of army cadets, marching in double file from class to class, singing in unison and saluting passers-by . . With the draft age lowered to 18. UB faced a huge deficit as almost half the undergraduate male population was inducted into the Armed Forces. Fortunately, Unde Sam jumped in and saved UB by assigning the 23rd College Training Detachment here. The Cadets were taught according to a strict syllabus prepared by the Pentagon. Not drafted immediately, however, were students studying 'critical occupations," such as engineering, medicine, The first 200 Cadets arrived in February 1943, with subsequent additions bringing the total to 500 by April. An individual Cadet was only at the University for a five month duration, after which he would move to flight training and then to active duty. Each month a group of Cadets would leave and a new group would be assigned to, take their place. Though the individual Cadets remained on campus for only a short time, their presence was appreciated. Capen wrote “Most of the faculty reports that they have never dealt with more earnest and interested students.” Chemistry Professor Emeritus Howard Post, who taught a housing and messing of the 23rd Collegiate Training Detachment, the University still had the responsibility for physics and dentistry. . The newly-built Norton Union, now Harriman Library, was a military barracks, and the basement of Foster Hall was a toxic chemical detection laboratory for the civil defense program? But by far the most colorful part of the University's history were the Cadets, members of the 23rd Collegiate Training Detachment whose presence saved the nearly 100 year old school from possible financial disaster. The 1942 Selective Service Act, enacted shortly after United States entry into the war, lowered the draft age to eighteen. The University population, predominantly male, was very much within the scope of the draft, with the exception of students studying certain “critical occupations” designated by the Selective Service System, such as engineering, physics, medical and dental students. Active duty call In 1942 it was announced that students studying for other than the critical occupations would be called to active duty, and therefore, would be unable to complete the academic year. The then University Chancellor Samuel P. Capen wrote “It seemed probable that by the middle of the (1942-3) year at least half the student population would be gone." Bracing themselves for a gaping budget deficit, the University Council called for contributions from alumni and friends of the University. This campaign, plus the postponements of active service that many students managed to obtain for the balance of the academic year eased the bjidget outlook, but alone, would probably not have prevented a large deficit. Enter the United States Government. Washington contracted with the University to place the 23rd College Training Detachment (Air Crew) here. Under the agreement, the University educated 500 Army-Air Force Cadets, according to a syllabus prepared by the Army. The program was a narrow and concentrated one, primarily stressing mathmatics, physics, basic English skills, history, and geography. But many faculty members either enlisted, were drafted or received commissions. In fact, the most extensive faculty losses, wrote Capen, “occurred in exactly those departments which form the core of the Army and Navy training programs. An important war The remaining faculty were called upon to teach the Army program in addition to their regular duties. Many of the faculty had to teach the Cadets courses unrelated to their own department. Olive Lester, former Chairman of the Psychology Department and Psychology professor during the war remembers the experience. "It was a terrific load on the faculty,” she emphasized, “but we thought we were playing a role in a very important war." Lester herself taught a history course in addition to her psychology schedule. “I had to study the book all the time. I wasn't too far ahead of the class,” she laughed. -- doing so, It was decided that the newly built Norton Hall, now Harriman Library, would be converted from the student union to an army barracks that could house 250 Cadets and feed 500. The remaining 250 were housed in the Club House at Grover Cleveland Park, across Bailey Avenue from the campus. The atmosphere at the University was understandably subdued during the war years, recalls Harriet Montague. Although the student newspaper, The Bee, still ran its usual headlines about dances, football games, homecoming queens and proms, student activities were at a low ebb. With Norton Hall being used as a barracks, the student union was moved to cramped quarters on the second floor of Hayes Hall. But the most outstanding part of the University atmosphere was still the Cadets. Montague described the vigor they brought to the University. "They always sang as they marched. It was quite an exciting place as well as a sad place because we knew what they were in for.” Explosion in Foster The 23rd Collegiate Training Detachment was gradually phased out of the University during the 1944 school year. But their presence, along with the extra work put in by the faculty, turned an unexpected budget deficit into a surplus and also added a curious chapter to those versed only in recent University history.

Liberal education suffered Although the mifitary presence was obvious, there still remained quite a few regular students, especially women. However, the fields of concentration were primarily in the engineering sciences, mathematics, physics and other technical subjects. Enrollment in the graduate school of Arts and and other technical subjects. Enrollment in the~ gradual school of Arts and Sciences dropped 50 percent in one year. University Chancellor Samuel P. Capen saw this as a demise of liberal education and, although fully aware of the needs of the war effort, was concerned. In a section of his Chancellor’s report, he wrote “The great disciplines concerned with human values...having no military value, find no place in the curricula designed for the formation of soldiers.” Capen believed that the orientation of American civilization was determined by America’s faith in liberal education. He believed that liberal education of America’s youth is a "root cause of the Nation’s unity, its stability, and its competence in modern war.” and concluded “This was the meat upon which Ceasar fed.” COURSES ON EAST ASIA J^ JLdua* 9 - „ Why do the Chinese use a distinctive writing system?

A spectrum may be defined as: a series of °" f interpretations And so it was, on this rather high flown note that the new ‘‘Official Student Publication of the University of Buffalo,” The Spectrum, came into being in September of 1950. It was a newspaper born of controversy, having emerged from the ashes of its two predecessors and at "once bitter rivals: The Bee and The Argus. The previous year a vote by the University Board of Managers disbanded the feuding publications and allocated monies for a new newspaper that would be a consolidation of The Argus and The Bee. Thus, The Spectrum. In 1950 The Argus had been in existence for only three years. A group of progressive-minded veterans dissatisfied with the parochial and gossipy Bee launched it in 1947, independent of the University. Over and above campus coverage, The Argus focussed in on issues of contemporary concern; national and foreign affairs, cultural pieces, analyses and book and film reviews. After three issues and an enthusiastic reception it received funding from the Board of Managers, proving to be a refreshing alternative to the fraternity and sorority dominated See. But almost from the onset, The Argus embroiled itself in controversy. Editorials were devoted to denouncing the stranglehold that the fraternity bloc and its newsletter, The Bee had over campus life. At first, The Bee chose to ignore these salvos. But when they grew more frequent and emotional, The Bee began to counterattack, labelling The Argus editors „ " ... images formed when a radiant beam of energy Is subjected to dispersion and then brought to focus, so that the component waves are arranged in the order of their wavelengths for analysis. The Spectrum then, would endeavor to print the many aspects of important issues with responsibly written student °rompU Action! f ° irresponsible partisans. 2^cr*~"i cv,.i~* " -* i'-‘ r o State funds Sy'otu** V *""* 'The Bee' V"~* V-'v-^; + 'The Argui’ » The Spectrum' From "Sweater girls invade campus" to "Pigs off campus" WORLDS SKisr*- • ioutminm hat proliferated on campus An outgrowth of the '60$ radicalism fit - Insular mentality The Bee's gossipy format changed little from its first issue in 1920. it rarely if ever raised its sights beyond the confines of the University, concerning itself mainly with sports, gossip and fraternity news. Essentially, The Bee was reflective Of the frivolous student atlutides of the times, summed up in panty raids, homecoming queens and the like. Gleaning through issues of The Bee one can’t help but be reminded of the typical cliched college movies from the twenties and thirties. Not even the conflagration of the Second Wofld War could shock The Bee from its insular mentality. It was business as usual with football pep rallies, fraternity-sorority parties and in an proms, while the nation engaged unprecedented mobilization effort and armies warred the world over. The conclusion of the war spelled widespread change in college life and attitudes. The G! Bill held out the opportunity of free higher education to millions of war veterans who otherwise could not have afforded the considerable expense that college entailed. Veterans formed a wide cross section of social and economic levels and this proved the death-knell of a wealthy elitist student body. The college ethos underwent a drastic change with a new political and economic climate, a change clearly reflective in the philosophy and content of The Argus. In tune with contemporary political issues, The Argus ran lengthy analyses on the Cold War, postwar European reconstruction, China and other issues in the same vein, while The Bee wasstill stuck in the backwaters of the thirties. In one of the few instances that The Bee chose to involve itself in a political issue it was to applaud the ejection of a campus communist group, the John Reed Organization from Norton Union (now Squire). This action taken in .1949 by the University Board of Managers, in the midst of red paranoia that was to grip the nation culminating in the investigations of Senator Joseph McCarthy, was denounced by The Argus. By taking forthright stands on issues like the- |ohn Reed ejection and making periodic attacks upon the procedures of the Board of Governors, The Argus made many enemies within the University. Since the Board funded the paper, the editors were surely aware that they were biting the hand that fed them. A 'new’ publication An article in a Spring, 1949 issue of The Argus satirizing the Catholic Church’s position on divorce provoked a fair amount of community outcry and was the Board’s excuse to suspend funding of the newspaper. At the same time funding for The Bee t was also suspended. All the lop editorial positions of the new publication, The Spectrum were filled by former Bee staffers, even though the level of their journalistic expertise was generally conceded to be far below that of The Argus writers. Many Argus writers refused to write for the new paper, denouncing the curtailment in freedom of expression that the death of their publication implied. Gerald Helper, an editor of The Argus called The Spectrum, "The Bee with a few new trimmings.” Disaffected Argus writers proceeded to pul out a magazine with the same name as their newspaper, but only one issue was ever printed. "The dissolution of The Not even the conflagration of the Second World War could shock The Bee’ from its insular mentality. It was business as usual with football pep rallies, fraternitysorority parties and proms. Argus was a fatal blow to The Left’s voice in the University, according to Robert Cohen in an American Studies paper on file at the University Archives, "Repression of the Left at UB.” Perusing through issues of The Bee, back issues The Spectrum from the fifties or even some issues of of The Argus one is struck by blatantly sexist humor pieces and articles. A headline in a 1949 Argus reads, "Eyes Pop As Sweater Girls Invade Campus, Cold, Snap Brings Out the Bust In Coeds.” The article frames a photo of a comely, ample chested girl, saying, “Don't fight it baby, this is bigger than both of us.” Another example is an exchange in an April, 1951 issue of The Spectrum '. She: Are you on the rowing crew? He; No. She: Then stop stroking. It would seem that student journalism has come a long way in the last two decades. By the late sixties, UB was being called the Berkeley of the East, not only for its innovative academic atmosphere, but also for its radicalism. And it was in the sixties that student journalism flourished and became controversial here. In 1969, a paper called Ethos was born engaging in friendly competition with The Spectrum. The now thrice weekly The Spectrum garnered several All American ratings from the Minnesota School of Journalism. It’s intimate involvement with the growing anti-war movement and general atmosphere of student unrest even elicited a call for a reviewal of the paper by the SUNY Chancellor in a vole by the Buffalo Common Council in March of 1970, in reaction to a notorious frontpage editorial, headlined: "Pigs off campus.” There was also a very well done underground publication called Undercurrent which focused on countercultured topics.

Forum on Iran in Squire today A dozen Iranian-Americans held a “militant demonstration" in front of Squire Hall Friday to publicize today’s Forum on Iran (Fillmore Room at 7 p.m.), according to Forum Coordinator Alex Kochkin “The Iranian people are fighting for a democratic, independent Iran,” Kochkin said, “independent of foreign imperialism .” Today’s forum will include a slide show and possible a film and will feature speakers from the Iranian Student Association (a member of the Confederation of Iranian Students-National Union CISNU) and the Revolutionary Communist Party. In addition, two Iranians who are studying at UB will speak. Iran has been torn by internal turmoil. One million workers have struck, causing severe reductions in the country’s S60 million a day oil production. Iranian student Hormoz Mansouri condemned President Carter’s support of the Shah. “We feel very bad about it,” he said. Though Sub Board was named the defendant in Young’s lawsuir, SA may have been legally responsible for any negligence in the platform’s assembly. In that case. Black speculated, the suit may have been directed against the wrong group. According to SA attorney Richard Lippes, the responsibility for any rented supplies must be determined in court for each particular case. The outcome of Young’s suit is therefore impossible to predict, he said. Black has received intermittent correspondence, in the form of questions, from Young’s attorneys. At this time, he said, the case is definitely up in the air. Sob Board, according to Black, is fully insured against the negligence claims, as is SA. Since the accident was a rare occurrence, said Black, planning for future events should not be affected by this suit.

Delivery date However, various students have complained that the company representative assured them that the rings would “definately be delivered before December 16” and are now finding that this is not the case. GSA demands student officials’ right to speak in College Council Amid growing concern that students are not adequately represented on the College Council, the Graduate Student Association (GSA) unanimously passed a resolution November 15 demanding the right of student government officials to speak before the Council. The GSA also demanded that elected student representative Michael Pierce be given the same priviledges granted to other Council members. The resolution was a clear show of support for the symbolic student walkout from the October 15 Council meeting lead by Student Association (SA) President Karl Schwartz. Students exited the meeting in protest of the Council’s refusal to permit students to speak during regularly scheduled meetings. Opinions differed on the effectiveness of the resolution. Pierce speculated. “Based on what happened in October, and the GSA resolution, and the speeches by Schwartz and Joyce Pinn (President of GSA), the Council should see that there is widespread support.-’’ But Pinn said the resolution probably will not result in the student representative’s gaining voting privileges.

The significance of student voting rights centers around the Council’s role in recommending President Ketter to another term, should he decide to seek it. If students are not allowed to vote, their influence over the recommendation will be severely hampered, said Pierce. Pinn charged that the absence of student voting rights is symptomatic of the whole administrative system. “Students are selectively eliminated from all decision making processes,” she said. Pierce was also adamant over the student’s right to vote. He said. “It seems ludicrous to have me do everything but vote.” He was also confident that by the end of his term the student representative wtiuld be granted voting powers. He cautioned, however, that section 356 of the State Education Law must first be ammended to allow this privilege. According to Pierce, the ‘ Council is slowly accepting the student rep. “There are no more little insults across the table,” he said, “they’re showing begruding respect.” CUT OUT TO THE CARIBBEAN that their proposals would lead to the creation of a “new and safer” military scheduled to be sent, changed address. requires audience participation.

"The us intent of 201," she explained, "is not to exclude further commitment on the part of the faculty. Several steps are being contemplated for future implementation into the program. One is the creation of a writing lab to establish a clinical setting fur students. Another idea "the ideal" according to Wickert focuses on beginning a semester, before any enrollment takes place, with two weeks of advisement to place students according to ability. Wickert said, however. that a “tremendous administrative problem” involving schedules has reared its head. Before the Fall 1979 semester, the English Department will stress that it is offering a program in lower-division English and not just a series of courses. According to Associate Chairman Fred See, the proposal is not a new idea. Berkeley, he said incorporated a similar curriculum. Despite the emphasis on increased advisement and direct contact between students and instructors, few believe the program will be of greater burden to an already pressured department.

Wickert. however, said that there was “a Jot of 5 disagreement over the extent to which reading should be incorporated into writing." He explained that the 101 section “in fact discourages the option of reading." and added that reading in 201 courses is intended as models. While general accord about the program exists between graduate students and English Department faculty, a source representing the former claimed that the original proposal was to reduce (he number of composition courses and thus, relieve some of the burden placed on graduate student teaching assistants (TAs). Wickert pointed out that of the current 60 undergraduate composition sections, 9S percent are staffed by TAs. The enrollment in these courses represents 71 percent of the total undergraduate English student body. The graduate student source, however, claimed that the restructuring brought no • IRC —continued from page 1 plans are being made to send out a memorandum to RAs every other week detailing upcoming events and meetings. Area representatives maintain that insufficient of notice meetings is the reason for faltering attendance. The IRC Constitution stipulates that representatives are to be given 72 hours notice prior to meetings. According to many area representatives, they usually receive only 24 hours notice, and consequently, they have made other commitments. Said one rep, “If I was given more notice, I could plan my studying around the meetings.” One of the few new activities sponsored by IRC this year are buses to local bars. According to Don Shore, a representative from Main Street last year, the buses are “not going over well”. He remarked, “Students are complaining because it takes so lung to get to the bars. People have slopped taking advantage of it." Shore added, “I don’t even know one person who has used the bar buses.

Bulls play competitively, but Akron wins, 5 9 —1 by Gregg Slater Spectrum Staff Writer A spirited UB comeback fell just short Saturday night, as the University of Akron spoiled the basketball Bulls" seasori openef, 59-51 The Bulls remained- competitive throughout despite Akrbn pulling down almost twice as many rebounds as UB, and Buffalo’s own atrocious foul shooting. t Akron quickly demonstrated its rebounding aggressiveness at the lead. Akron was not shooting particularly outset, jumping tp a well, but consistently responded with three and four shots every time t came down the floor. George Mendenhall’s quick jumpers provided the offense for the Bulls in the early going, with the Bulls’ first three baskets. He added another from the top of the key as Buffalo hustled to within a point, 18-17 with 7:30 remaining in the first half. Turnovers, however, plagued UB their next four straight times down the court, losing the ball when attempting to move down to their left side. Akron, behind the tremendous outside shooting of 6-5 John Britton, quickly opened up an eleven point lead. As the half came to a close. Akron was content to freeze the ball for the last shot. But two Buffalo steals and a tremendous twisting layup by Rodney McDaniel, and a later conversion of a free throw left UB within a striking distance of eight points at half-time. After moving back within five, courtesy of McDaniel. UB was suddenly unable to penetrate a ferocious 1-3-1 Akron defense. Passes were continually- forced and the Buffalo offense acted repeatedly unsure of what to do with the ball, and found.themselves down by 13, 45-32. A Tony Smith jumper and a Norman Jones baseline move made it ' '. 45-36. UB coach. Bill Hughes, now facing the possibility of getting blown out, called lime and the Bulls regrouped. Buffalo regained its losl composure as center Nate Bouie hit for a three-point play off a baseline drive and forward Mike Freeman fought hard for his own rebound the next time down court and muscled it home as he was fouled. Akron head coach Ken Cunningham, knowing he had time and the score on his side, slowed up his offense, freezing the hall while using up the clock in an attempt to slow down the hungry Bulls. Hughes moved Buffalo into a pressure man-to-man defense, which began to create turnovers, while UB’s offense was clicking and moving the ball continually. A Smith jumper, another pretty drive by Bouie along with a Mendenhall bomb all connected for UB to bring the supportive crowd to their feet. Britton and Joel Price in the meantime, appeared to be the only Akron players awake on offense, as the Bulls closed within seven, 56*49. with three minutes remaining Akron responded with an all-out freeze with no real intention ol converting a shot. UB’s hustling defense began to gang up on the Akron guards at the half court corners and a travelling violation resulted. The Buffalo defense snapped back with unbelievable hustle, freeman, the 6-5 junior asserted himself on the boards and made two key rejections in the midst of the UB comeback. With 1:57 remaining. UB had the ball with the score 56-5 1. However, a set play diagrammed by Hughes was never completed, as the ball was thrown away. Akron’s freeze was now finally working, but their quick forward Zane Giles saw an opening and quickly moved to the basket.

This is the major change and has formed the bedrock of the debate thus far. Opponents of the shift fear that Inside: Beyer’s sentence vacated-P. 3 / Joan Mandate tours undergraduates in Health Sciences may lose any University-wide perspective as Pannill and his associates degree orient requirements toward technical training. With no single officer responsible for coordinating undergraduate courses and programs, critics of the shift forsee duplication gaps efforts, of in communication and, in extreme cases, subverting of undergraduate concerns in favor of the graduate and professional programs within Health Sciences. The fears do nol end there. One source in the administration raised the chilling spector of a separate Health Sciences university. “There’s an Upstate Medical Center, a Downstate Medical Center, why not a Western New York Medical Center?” the source theorized. No consensus There is no consensus on when, or if, the changes will begin. “It went into effect September 1,” Pannill said. “That’s the understanding I had with Dr. Bunn and the President.” But Bunn claimed the shift cannot begin until committees to bridge the gap between the Health Sciences and the Core Campus are formed. President Ketter has been absent from the University since Wednesday and unavailable for comment, but there are strong indications that he has dramatically different ideas than Bunn and Pannill. According to Chairman of the Faculty Senate Newton Carver, Ketter told the Senate Executive Committee last week that the Dean will hold responsibility for all - More programs. undergraduate conclusively, a November 14 letter from Ketter to Chairman of the Biophysics department Michael Anbar states that a in undergraduate program proposed biophysics “will come under the Division of Undergraduate Education . . .” Since Biophysics is part of the Health Sciences, the President apparently does not share Bunn and Pannill’s notion that responsibilities such as the approval of new undergraduate programs will shift or already have shifted to Pannill. Pannill acknowledged the Biophysics letter; and said that Ketter must have "forgotten” about the new arrangement. But Bunn was more willing to recogntee the discrepancy. “The President was not involved in the several months of discussion and therefore may not have been prese'nt during the unfQlding of our ideas,” he said. - - The new domain The Bunn/Pannill plan was developed in the months following the Faculty Senate’s Planning Educational Policy and Committee (EPPC) report, which sought to sketch the domain of the new DUE Dean. The report recommended that the Dean report to both the VPAA and the VPHS, an arrangement many observers later found awkward and unworkable. Since the Health Sciences and Core Campus are in some I ways competing for funds, the DUE Dcan : could be torn between conflicting demands from superiors, the criticism went. Ketter turned the EPPC report over to Burm and Pannill so that the two VPs could work out an agreement on the scope of the DUE Dean. That agreement with Pannill assuming control of undergraduate programs formed the basis for Ketter’s February 1, 1978 letter to then Faculty Senate Chairman Jonathan Reichert the letter the Senate Executive Committee never received. Reichert is on leave this semester and unable to be reached, but no Faculty response or protest was ever sent back to Ketter. But there are other curious circumstances surrounding the emergence of the Bunn/Pannill plan. According to Robert Springer, who chaired the EPPC - — - Full responsibility for administering undergraduate programs in Health Sciences will shift to Pannill, who will develop an internal structure to handle the new duties. This is the major change and has formed the bedrock of the debate thus far. and wrote its report, the Health Sciences Division was completely left out of the first draft “in ignorance.” Left the opportunity After consulting with Pannill and his associates, Springer ammended the report to recommend that the DUE Dean report to the VPAA and the VPHS. “My impression,” Springer said, “was that Pannill did not want something separate.” Springer noted that, because of his own ignorance in leaving Health Sciences out, the opportunity was there in the Spring of 1977 for Pannill to come away with Health Sciences auonomy for undergraduate programs. “He took exactly the opposite route, saying; ‘look, we want to be included’,” Springer said. Pannill told The Spectrum he had “no input” into the EPPC report. The EPPC report, although heavily debated, was strongly supported by the Faculty Senate and passed on May 17, 1978 with the dual reporting arrangement for the DUE Dean still intact. The report stressed the need for a unified Division of Undergraduate Education, headed by • a strong and active Dean. If the Faculty Senate had seen Ketter’s Februrary 1, 1978 letter before this fall, the current conflict might have arrived much sooner. The letter states that the VPHS will assume “direct responsibility” for administering undergraduate Health Sciences programs, and suggests'that Ketter supports that shift. It reads: “Although a number of details are yet to be decided, the plan outlined here is one that I endorse.” Thus, Bunn and Pannill also had good reason to believe Ketter supported their move. —continued on page 2— Buffah-P. 4 1 Mows section-P! 14 UB. from the outsMe-P. 1 1 / �(Undergraduate splittime The conflict comes at when the University has begun to overhaul of launch an its undergraduate programs as part of • a similar movement nationwide.

In order to this arrangement, the source said, Bunn was willing to “trade off” control of Health Sciences undergraduate programs. Two veterans of the DUE insure Deanship have disagreed sharply with the shift in responsibility. Geology professor Vince Ebert, who held the DUE Deanship Tor six years, felt the Dean position how Ketter has yet to make clear his position, Pannill gives the impression that the change is just a minor shifting of responsibilities and, in his view, a foregone conclusion. “Fragmentation breeds confusion. You just cannot divide the responsibilities. Otherwise you office.” Further colonization “If you have a Dean for Undergraduate Education then you make him responsible for all of undergraduate education,” Ebert insisted. Walter Kunz, acting DUE Dean before Peradotto, warned that the could lead to further colonization of the professional schools. He also said that undergraduates in Health Sciences He stressed that the new arrangement would “remove the burden of academic advisement from a heavily stressed staff in DUE.” When asked why he felt a shift in authority was necessary, Pannill responded, “From my point of view it isn’t necessary at all.

The entourage toured the gallery, stopping at Pablo Picasso’s “La Toilette” which the second lady termed a personal favorite. She recalled meeting the artist Armaldo Pomidoro while examining his bronze work, “The Cube.” “He was so friendly and animated. His work is well represented in this country.” Mondale also entered the museum's famous “Mirror Room” work. One motive in her visit to the museum was to choose works which will be lent to her for display in the Vice Presidential mansion. “We have had a representative collection of contemporary art from various sections of the country,” she explained. "We are now working on art from New York and New Hngland.” As Mondale passed many large works, she remarked, “I have great greed in my eyes to borrow things for the house. Too bad the house is too small for some of these large works.” Since the Mondale's residence there, the Vice-Presidential mansion has been turned into a great showplace of American art with regular tours for the public and private affairs for dignitaries. * ‘Pleasantly surprised’ Art, as the second lady sees it, is most important to higher education. “1 really wish an art history course be a requirement in college education. It’s an important ingredient and enrichment in life for a well-rounded background,” she commented. “Even just an art appreciation course should be required. I always hate to hear ‘1 don’t known anything about art but I know what I like.’ Someday I hope student may say they know something about what they like." At noon. Mondale and the group toured Buffalo’s recently renovated theaters. Studio Arena and Shea’s Buffalo, where they were met by Mayor Griffin. “Pleasantly surprised” with the restoration, she also commented on the fine art deco structure of the Buffalo Police Station which has been converted from an old bus terminal. “I have a different view of Buffalo than what I did before I came here,” said Mondale. “It’s not the dingy Buffalo of the snow belt.” After a luncheon at the Studio Arena Theater, Mondale had a tour of the city, highlighted by the various art forms of sculptures and plazas. “These politicians don’t get enough credit. It’s a perfect partnership between government and community,” she remarked, referring to Buffalo’s downtown restoration. —continued on page 26 —BucHanan "SECOND LADY": Joan Mondale, wife of the Vice President, received a grand tour of Buffalo'* art and architecture Wednesday, guided by a variety of local dignitaries including Mayor James Griffin* Griffin is shown here detailing Buffalo's future hopes for the downtown theater district, followed closely by The Spectrum's reporter Carl Sferrazza.

In a preliminary plan covering the next Pinned University three years. Director of Admissions and Records Richard Dremuk suggested increases in the numbers of transfer and returning students accepted while targeting freshman enrollments at 3000 per year. According to Dremqk, meeting this goal may not be easy. “They have to be cultivated,” he said. To achieve this, UB and the State University of New York (SUNY) in general are launching an “Articulation/Recruitment” program. The program essentially a public relations campaign, is intended to “inform the public,” that, according to Dremuk, “misunderstands the SUNY system” In the past, he_explained, while private schools advertised, state institutions kept a low profile. Although SUNY is not directly advertising, Dremuk said, many private schools object to attempta at “high visibility”. Some private schools spend as much as $500 per student compared to about $.25 for students here, he said. The University is sending representatives to 300 state high schools, 200 last year, Dremuk said. Representatives will also visit community colleges in hopes of luring transfers to UB. , Poster power Admissions and Records produced a poster for the first time this year. The poster, filled with “favorable” photos of the University proclaims, “Buffalo’s Great University Is On Your Horizon!” When asked if admission standards would be lowered, Dremuk replied that he did not anticipate it. Despite a drop in the mean high average of almost two points (from 90.2 to 88.3), he said there is still a —Michael Flur Workmen have lucceeded in repairing the fire ravaged first floor of SUNY Binghamton's Lehman Residential Hall, enabling an estimated 30 students to return to their rooms earlier than anticipated.

Campus Security is still investigating the cause of the October 20 fire, where arson is strongly suspected. “high quality pool of applicants.” Acting Executive Vice President Charles Fogel, admitted that this year’s 3,300 freshmen placed a drain on resources since so many opted for the same departments, such as engineering and management. Ten years ago, he explained, applicants were required to list their prospective majors and so were fairly evenly spread throughout the departments. However, he hoped that possible General Education requirements would “track” freshmen into other areas. Severe drain A major factor, in maintaining the student population is attrition, or students leaving the University prior to graduation. UB suffered the highest attrition rale in the state. Although the attrition is a severe drain, Fogel denied that enrollment expansion is sought to compensate for this loss of students. “It will offset, attrition in numerical terms,” he said, “but the actual problem should be solved.” Fogel explained that thestate bases budgets on the number of students enrolled in each institution. The number of faculty lines alloted depends on the number of Full Time Kquivilent (RTF) students. In turn, he said, the number of non-instructional personnel, including typists and maintenance staff, is determined by the number of faculty. This year, the expected enrollment for the entire University fell short by about 900 RTF’s. As a result, the state could cut faculty lines*, he said. However, officials arc trying to convipce the state to permit the University to keep the funds.

Another Among large, public universities, SUNY Buffalo must with the most divided. Among university administrations, Capen Hall must rank with the most devisive. Among historical epochs in higher education, this one must be one of the most difficult And among the chapters in the history of this University, the one being written before us must carry a special significance. It is within these contexts that the attempt to split undergraduate education into two divisions must be viewed. At a time when undergraduate education needs undivided attention, Vice Presidents Bunn and Pannill have proposed the opposite. At a time when the professional schools need to be drawn tighter to the rest of the campus, Bunn and Pannill have loosened the grip. And at a time when the University has too much bureaucracy, too many committees, too little centralized leadership, Bunn and Pannill have proposed more, mofe and less. The issue is not advisement, or missing letters, or differing interpretations. The issue is leadership and how to provide it. The Dean of Undergraduate Education must be allowed to provide leadership for education the idea, the spirit, the very nature of it. Give him the tools and set him to work; we thought this was what the Faculty Senate's committee report was all about. We thought this is what John Peradotto was all about. We may have even thought until a few weeks ago that this was what Ronald Bunn was all about. But instead we find undergraduate leadership butchered into two and Bunn holding one of the knives. There is material, and outrage, enough for separate editorials on the subverting of the Faculty Senate, the misleading of John Peradotto, and the exclusion of the student body. But the core of our concern is Bunn and Pannill's confounding idea that leadership for a pessimistic, decentralized, directionless undergraduate program should not be provided by one man, behold only to that cause. We find Bunn's insistence that this is a "university" center and not a graduate center a misleading and unrealistic way to avoid the need for a guardian of undergraduate education a guardian whose sole concern is improving the way the University educates its undergraduates. Carter Pannill simply cannot know best for all Health Sciences majors, already among the most narrowly-educated graduates here. But we are shocked that the Vice President for Academic Affairs, who surely must be tired of compromising principles for the reality of budget strain, would so agreeably sign off a principle that, was actually affordable, in a year when difficult decisions await Bunn around every corner, here was an easy one to make fight for a University-wide Dean and get the faculty to join the ranks! There is still time. We urge Bunn to change his stance and fight against the total shift in responsibility for Health Sciences undergraduate education to Carter PannilLWe urge the Faculty Senate to stand fijm in its pledge to pursue a single DUE Dean. And we congratulate the Student Association leaders who stood up to this high-level power play and made a difference. — — — satisfied customer To the Editor. works!!!

I would just like to take the time to inform The Spectrum readers that there is a system involved, though. It’s quite simple, actually.

Ronnie Litman Public recognition To the Editorr I was pleased to see the excellent coverage you provided for the Bakke Panel Discussion held at the Law School. 1 was pleased with the large attendance as well. Both your -article, and the “full house” indicate that UB faculty and students are quite properly concerned with this Vital societal and legal issue. I would like to note however* that while The Spectrum editorially congratulated the sponsors of the forum, it failed to mention who the sponsors were. As a law student, and a friend of somy of the persons involved, I would like to publically recognize the organizations and some of the persons who made the forum possible. To begin with, the forum was sponsored by the Constitutional Law/Law and a Law School student Philosophy Forum, organization. This organization presents speakers throughout the semester, primarily on topics of interest to law students, addressing constitutional, legal and philosophical questions. The idea (o present a Bakke panel discussion came from Forum member George Coletis who is a third year law student. He was assisted in the organization by forum members Stephen Krason and Howard Lipman, both second year students. Funding for the panel discussion was provided by the Distinguished Visitors Forum, an organization of the Law School’s Student Bar Association. Professor Jacob Hyman, who served as the panel’s moderator, is also to be commended for his efforts in bringing about this event. Name withheld upon request — — fi To the Editor.

I am sure there are many other graduating seniors who also need two upper level Biology courses and will be forced to take a course that they may not want because of this scheduling.

How can this University possibly expect us to accept the shoddy arrangements Housing has made for dorm-dwellers \yho have examinations after noon on that date? Are exam days not considered to be a part of the semester of does Housing simply expect us to forgive the breach of contract involved for anyone who is being told they must leave whatever they have packed for the Christmas vacation in an Area Coordinator’s office until they have completed their exams? Why should we, unlike other students, be expected to take whatever time it takes to pack OUT of the time we need to study for those exams? Why should we be expected to study, pack, take our exams, and prepare for and effect our various sojourns homeward without a rest, a period of pre-holiday relaxation with friends or even a shower in between?

As in any controversy, a great deal of information is circulating. Most of it is confusing, and some of it is untrue. Charges have been hurled at the University, the insurance company, Sub Board 1 hottest representatives, and students regarding responsibility for UB’s Student Health Insurance Program. As students attending this University, we started asking questions, and got is a reason behind the establishment of a mandatory insurance program. In the past, it was the habit of some uninsured students to receive medical treatment, ignore the bills, and eventually leave town. This happened too often to some Buffalo hospitals, resulting is their refusal to treat uninsured students. The Student Health Insurance Program insures that every full time and foreign student has health insurance. Also, when a student receives medical treatment, the insurance company can be billed directly. This gives the student one less problem to worry about. It is only mandatory that students have some of their owp lack of foresight in planning? Or is it to be assumed that we the unfortunate victims of the University’s communications disorders will accept this misuse of the good faith we exercised in signing those contracts in the first place? Please, Mr. Boyce, please allow this minority to believe you are telling the truth when you say that “nobody is going to get screwed.” A lounge - is not what we have paid to spend the semester in our - rooms are. of health insurance coverage not that they carry the policy provided by the university. If the student has a comparable health insurance policy, then he or she can fill out a ‘waiver’ of health insurance. This process was/is done during the first five weeks of school, on an annual basis. Waivers were filed in any one of six areas, on all three campuses, day or evening. All a student had to do if the school’s insurance policy wasn’t desired was to show proof of sort Dawn M.

From BEOG and TAP combined 1 have been alotted a total amount of $207 per semester in financial aid. 1 was not given a University loan, work study, or any other form of private aid. v On Tuesday, November 28, 1 went to Financial Aid for the second time, requesting to see ah advisor. 1 was asked why I wished to see an advisor. When 1 explained the situation to the woman at the counter, she laughed and asked me if I had BEOG and TAP. When 1 responded that I had, she advised that my only recourse would be to apply for a NYHEAC You loan. Again 1 requested to see a financial advisor. She replied that she WAS an advisor, and that that was “all (I) could do.” Her attitude was abrupt, almost sarcastic, and entirely void of any indication that she an alternate insurance policy. The Health Insurnace Policy and Benefits are decided on the basis of an annual survey conducted randomly among students who have the policy, and students who waived it. Questions are asked about students’ medical needs and expenses. On this basis, the policy’s coverage and benefits are planned for the following year. In this way, students do decide what is covered on the student health insurance plan. Sub Board 1 has been charged with includig abortion coverage without sufficient consultation was really interested in my situation at all. I became extremely disturbed and left the office. I do not know this woman’s name, and I have since returned to the office and found an advisor named “David” to have been VERY HELPFUL. He explained fully what 1 am eligible for and how to go about applying for each. But it seems unfair that 1 and other students like me who, with financial shortcomings, have enough to discourage us, should have to experience such humiliation before someone is willing to help us. 1 hope if and when that woman’s children need that assistance she so callously denied me, they will have someone more with students. This is because of several reasons; (1) Abortion coverage was included in the insurance program two years ago, with no complaint. (2) There is maternity coverage in the program. (3) The formation of this year’s policy was finalized after May, when a referendum or vote would not have been representative. It was impossible to wait until September, especially since this year’s insurance policy begun August 30, 1978.

This additional $5.50 includes increased payments on: doctor visits, hospital room and board, X-Rays, medication, ambulance, Lab tests, emergency room, and termination of pregnancy. Also, if an insured student gets his/her medication in the Sub Board Pharmacy, there is no ceiling on medical costs. An issured person, when purchasing through Sub Board’s Pharmacy, gets prescriptions - understanding tfian she to turn to. Kathleen Carey first To the Editor The article in The Spectrum (12/4/78) was a terrible representation of the commuters at UB. from the opening dialogue, it conveys the image that commuters are ignorant, lazy, and apathetic. Few, if any, commuters would think that someone referring to “The Island” would mean Grand Island. That paragraph was almost as prejudicial as a Polish joke. On ridiculing Buffalo, I don’t get defensive when someone ridicules Buffalo. I just remember that the source of these remarks is obviously ignorant, and probably has never seen more of Buffalo than the Nain Steeet Campus. It is unbelievable that “commuters lazy” was the title of a paragraph in which both dorm students ' and commuters think that commuters are lazy. If laziness is not getting involved, in extra school activities then some commuters are lazy, but most have to get up early, drive to school, find a parking place, take classes, drive home, study, do some work around the house, then work at least 4 hours at some shit job. Does this sound like laziness to you? If it does, someone sure has a strange definition of what laziness is. Also, only 1 V* percent of the student fees going to the Commuter Council should tell you why commuters are apethetic. It is human nature not to give a shit about someone or something that doesn’t give a shit about you. This microscopic budget allocation shows what the University thinks about commuters. , The second last paragraph sums up the problem of keeping commuters interest in the University. However, the problem is not a “vicious circle”, more events for commuters will generate more interest. SA’s not giving money and expecting interest is expecting the “effects” before the “caugef’. Of course alternate sources of entertainment away from the University, with friends, will take precedence to those on campus, without more interesting University activities.

This office is staffed by fellow students, who are experts in the school’s insurance policy. If the student has questions, bill* to be paid, or insurance problems to be solved, this is the place to go. The office is open almost 50 hours a week. Numbers There are almost 8000 students in this program, some who enrolled voluntarily. The insurance policy for this year began Aug. 30, 1978 and will expire Aug, 30, 1979. While the insurance coverage isn’t total (which no policy ever is) it is certainly substantial. The policy is designed to cover medical expenses that most often hit people in our age bracket. The Student Health Insurance Program has become a campus issue, which is good. What is necessary to make a program like this work is student input (other than surveys.) You have to tell your student government representatives what you want, if you want anything at all. Perhaps now, the medical coverage isn’t perfect. Your input can change that.

The Stones were belling out another line “You’re just a memory.” Likewise, high school is just a memory. This is college, one step closer to the "real world". But now that I’m only a breath away from entering that domain, traveling on the 500 mite-eight hour path of which I have grown accustomed, it appears that I’ve been taking a joy • ride afterall. This was to be my last sojourn, yet the anxiety was reminiscent of the first. Initially there was the letter; “Mr. Rosenthal (alias 336831), congradulations, you have been accepted to the Division of Undergraduate Education at the State University of New York at sincerely, Richard Dremuk, Director of Buffalo Admissions and Records.” Next was the old pack the car trick an illusion 1 have yet to master.

The light flashed green and 1 darted off jockeying for position in the right hand lane. A smile graced my lips. I here I am Buffalo. crossed the threshold My enthusiasm was a bit premature. Riding the crest of the highway’s loop, my eyes glanced upwards at the approaching sign. Niagara Falls to the right, Buffalo straight ahead. Decision, which way do I turn? Following the signs for Buffalo, I came to rest in what appeared to be the heart of the city. As First impressions go, I thought a coronary bypass operation was sorely needed. Gingerly looking for some indication of the University, a street hurried by Chippewa. Interesting name 1 thought. its name Finally the realization hit me. I was lost. I pondered, do I risk embarrassment and ask for directions or do I'continue aimlessly down the unexplored Main Street. I opted for the former. Pulling my tightly packed car over to the street’s side, I flagged down the First available pedestrian (New York City Lingo). “Excuse me sir, uh, could you direct me to the State University of New York at Buffalo,” said I. He looked perplexed. “Oh, you mean UB,” he quipped, adding, “Well it’s about 379 potholes down Main Street.” Boy, that really helps me a lot I thought. “But honestly,” he added, “it’s about 6 miles.” The barrage of questions followed. “Where ya — — - - Sunday 8 am TAKE THIS MAN FOR A RIDE: Veteran The Spectrum a editor Marshall Rosenthal is off for greener pastures Washington, O.C. internship through the Political Science - 6 pm - department and graduation.

He continued, “Back when you came off the Thruway, you should have exited at the Niagara Falls entrance.” Totally baffled, I querried, "Why on want to go to Niagara Falls?” how ya get to the Amherst earth would I “Because that’s Campus,” he concluded. Fully satis.fied but utterly confused, my journey was approaching its end. But now, three and a half years later, 1 find myself once again packing my bags and moving on.

I’ll pull my caravan over to the road’s side and ask the first passerby, “Excuse me, could you direct me to the White House?” A taciturn air pervades the office. The typewriters have all ceased to clamor. My mind races faster than my fingers are able to type. 1 never thought I'd say this, but I’m going to miss this place and The Spectrum in particular. It’s been my refuge for the past three years. The paper serves a necessary function and performs that duty quite effectively. Under the guidance of its editors. The Spectrum can only be enhanced by the continued student input which comprises its staff. To that end, I sincerely wish Jay Rosen and his fellow editors the best of luck in their future endeavors.

But now you would like to know what playwrights are saying today. One place to listen in is at Harriman Theatre Studio, where the UB Theatre Department is presenting The Theatre of Sam Shepard. Unfortunately, that performance also suggests where the craft of contemporary playwrighting has gone astray. The evening consists of two one-act plays, Red Cross (written in 967) and Angel City (written in 1976). The later work here is the stronger of the two pieces, indicating that Shepard, a two-time Obie winner, has grown in the right direction. In Red Cross, a man arbitrates how the women in a sterile scenario should act and feel. Conveniently, these women are too neurotic to offer more than token resistance. This is unfortunate; an audience is more like an unruly crowd than we like to admit in other words, we like a good fight.

Restricted by th$ narrowness of the screen, actors must jo remain on their "marks” while the camera freezes on their faces. 2 Further restricted by time and budget, simple pan or tilt shots become t impossible. So, the video camera cuts from face to face, saving money f but losing the capaciousness of the cinema. Since this technical and economic fettering of the video camera disallows the usual spatial and tonal manipulations which usually evoke a film, television relics on the cheaply paid writer to develop a TV program’s narrative idea. Overt .f dialogue rather than subtle visual metaphors gels TV's point across. “■ Thu*, television is a highly personal medium utilizing character, actor, and writer, rather than the formalistic elements that make film the more potently artistic medium that it is. But make no mistake: the medium is more powerful than any person. Either the writer bends to the medium or the medium bends to the writer. If you want proof of this, witness the fact that though TV series rarely retain the same writers, those* shows retain the same quality. A good and recent example of this is Arthur Miller's first TV play,.-Fame, aired last week. Whatever else you might say of Arthur Miller, you must recognize that he his a style unmistakeably his own. Yet Fame is more Hallmark Hall of Fame than it is Arthur Miller.Fome, like almost all Hallmark productions, is a charming vacuum ineffectually populated with suburban notions of “culture.” Fame, like all Hallmark productions, is, if I may pose a pun, a greeting card with ambitions. The casting is characterisically ba<l. The play stars Richard Benjamin who could weel serve as a living definition of the word “nondescript.” If this man were a color, he’d be transparent. His flaccid screen presence belies his role’s intellectual acuity and sly bravado. Benjamin can be a fairly interesting actor if he’s in a role which matches his spineless acting. To cast him in Fame is a typical Hallmark Hall bf Fame absurdity. Once again, TV displays its power over creative talent. If Arthur Miller is an example of a writer bent by TV, then Sterling Silliphant is an example of a writer bending to TV. Author of the screenplay of The Swarm, he also wrote last month’s mini-series, Pearl, a program so conventionally bad that it has a great appeal for my nihilistic sense of humor. Pearl beautifully embodies television's approach to history, an approach which neatly follows from its restrictive, closeup-oriented camera work. For television, history is not a continuous panorama; it is an experience common to a group of minor characters while providing a common reversal of fortunes for their personal traumas. The attack on Pearl Harbor is merely that moment when a number of plot lines are drawn together in the vermillion explosions of Japanese bombs. Instead of a panorama, we have cutting from plot line to plot line. But what does this have to do with history? What does the break-up of Angie Dickenson's marriage, the taunting of a suspected homosexual, or the depression of a woman obstetrician have to do with Pearl Harbor? If we care about the characters (which is impossible, thanks to Sterling Silliphant's obsequiousness to TV’s mediocrity), who cares about a lot of loud explosions? If we care about Pearl Harbor, who cares about all these private pangs? As a further demonstration of Silliphant’s subjugation to the medium, look at the racial ethic exhibited in Pearl. Silliphant, whose attitudes range from the racist to the reasonable, here wholly adopts TV's new racial ethic in which the most Caucasian characters are the least racist. In Pearly a very white officer rebukes a sailor for making disparaging remarks about the Japanese and is himself in love with a Japanese girl. This blonde, blue-eyed wonder boy with his widcflung shoulders, boxy jaw, and toothy smile is the Caucasian ideal, a perfect model for a neo-Nazi quarterly. It’s okay for him to rebuke the racist since his racial status is impeccable. TV often leaves racism to people with darker complexions. In his telephay for Pearl, Silliphant gives himself over to this faltering liberalism. Arthur Miller and Sterling Silliphant are two writers who, for the lack of camera direction, ought to be auteurs but aren’t. I think you’ll ultimately find that only accountants, lawyers, and executives control the medium and that money is TV’s only auteur. Gosh, was I ecstatic over Kate and Anna McGarrigle's last record, Dancer With Bruised Knees, because the two French-Canadian sisters brought songs of regional Canada to the Slates without sacrificing the folk tradition. Though I liked Pronto Monto, the new record, on the first listening, most of it is nearly pathetic since the sisters have met L.A. and have done a Mite-face. For a paragraph, look quickly at the fac|s. The disk is recorded in L.A. with Steve Miller’s dreamer Gary Mallaber, Bonnie Raitt’s funk freak Freebo, and jackson Browne's smiling Bob Glaub; there’s funk and slick, not of the Montreal jazz variety, but of the American consumer product, ("Nanu-Nanu”) stuff. This time one should really be repelled by the idea of an insipid L.A. production because the culture once transmitted by the McGarrigles is weakened in the American melting pot. 5 > — McGarrigle gargle Where the McGarrigles once used accessible satire and inimitable irony to portray their world, they now rely on sentimental and zippy imagery. When on “Oh My Heart," Anna says, “I’m your Kathy on the. heather,” the love metaphor is a part of eighteen lines of selfishness. When she wants to be independent, together not tethered, it’s just a whim; when she's Kathy to her own heart, she’s brooding too much. Then funky guitar riffs tell me the song’s all a joke. Who knows the of it all? time, around, This the McGarrigles seem like upper middle class folks striving to speak to the masses; but most of the time they speak down. When the point horns on "Side Of Fries” sound like the Tower of Power on Elton John’s “Stinker,” and the pair make inanimate necessities come alive, it’s all like a 40s MGM cartoon, where the ball would bounce and you’d sing along to a violin-playing cockroach, smoking or drunk. Though Pronto Monto is a bit more intellectual, it is quite surely a feast for the senses. But the senses will eat anything. Most of this sensitive stuff borders on maudlin vulgarity, hinging on the middle-of-the-road orientation of pop. Dope-a-hope The McGarribles swing on stars before they reach the earth. The song "NaCI,” about sex and sodium chlorjde, rips the hook from Carly Simon’s "Older Sister” from the Hotcakes record. Tunes like "Dead are Weight” predictable in a regressive way: All the solos in these songs sound somewhat like Jelly Roll Morton playing "Moonlight Bay." The songs are easily categorized. But there are certain saving graces to Pronto Monto, but relating to them is like wondering about the taste of vintage 1929 Bordeaux Blanc, having never tasted it. “Stella By Artois” showcases the best folk poetry you’re going to come across ’til Joni Mitchell releases her newest. And I suppose “Bundle of Sorrow, Bundle of Joy” is as pastoral as the 70s family can get. More effective than Jackson Browne’s "The Only Child,” because Anna McGarrigle doesn’t preach, it explains the future with pretty metaphor, and is as objective as the parent can become. The McGarrigles need objectivity, because Pronto Monto is a product more than music. When they recognize gloss isn’t grand, they’ll once again be favorite folks to folkies and critics.

Only moments before he was felled by the .22 caliber bullet fifed from the gun of assassin Sirhan Sirhan, he was reveling in victory, having triumphed in the California Presidential primary over his two Democratic rivals, Eugene McCarthy and Hubert Humphrey. The momentum of events were beginning to point to his nomination at the Democratic National Convention, to be held in Chicago that August, and s showdown with Richard Nixon in November, a confrontation that Kennedy looked forward to with relish.

Ten years later, the horror of Los Angeles has stiH not subsided from the American psyche. Bobbie Kennedy's verve and his revulsion at social injustice still serve as ah inspiration for many of us, especially the poor and minorities who looked to him as their savior. Recently, two Kennedy biographies appeared on the market. One is a new book by historian and family friend of the Kennedys’, Arthur Schlesingcr, )r., Robert Kennedy, and the other is a new paperback edition of Jack Newficld’s Robert F. Kennedy, A Memoir, first published in hardcover in 1969. This reviewer wasn’t able to gel a hold of the Schlesingcr biography, therefore only the Newfield book will be discussed here. Newfield, a veteran Village Voice reporter and New Left activist, was a close personal friend of Kennedy's. Ncwficld's book received wide critical acclaim upon publication. By no means is Ncwficld’s account an objective biography. Newfield loved and admired Kennedy. Indeed this great affection comes through on almost every page. Newfield viewed Kennedy as the last great hope fo/ America in the sixties and his death was a terrible blow, one Newfield has still not lived down as is apparent in the book’s recently penned epilogue. Newficld’s highly personal style of writing makes the biography engrossing reading and lends itself to penetrating analysis of Kennedy’s character. He portrays a complex, often’times non-verbal man who is at his best when he acts onTiis instincts and at his worst when he is calculating. Newfield recognized a ruthless, competitive streak in his subject, one that manifested itself most visibly in the earlier part of Kennedy's career, when he was first a counsel on Joseph McCarthy’s witchhunting committee, than an investigator in the Congressional labor racketerring probes of the fifties, and finally Attorney General under his brother’s administration. Kennedy quit McCarthy/s committee after six ATTENTION months because he was urfable to get along with another committee counsel, the irascible and red-baiting Roy Cohn, even though he still retained admiration for the demagogic senator from Wisconsin, attending his internment in 1957. the racketeering in Kennedy’s participation investigations were noteworthy for a dogged determination, often using highly questionable procedures to expose corruption and Mafia ties among the Teamsters. Later as Attorney General, he pursued Teamster president Jimmy Hoffa until he had the feisty union leader behind bars. There was a conspicuous crusading aspect to Kennedy’s personality, according to Newfield, an aspect that would in the next decade embrace a holy war against discrimination, poverty, and American involvement in Vietnam. Robert Kennedy was a fighter, a spirit implanted in all three brothers by their father. As campaign manager for his brother’s successful I960 presidential quest, he used vicious smear tactics against Hubert Humphrey in the key West Virginia primary, tactics that soon forced an anguished Humphrey out of the race. This was the dark side of his personality. And til the very end he could never shakq off this image as a ruthless opportunist, one that was newly perpetuated by his late entry into the 1968 presidential primaries after McCarthy’s surprisingly strong showing in the New Hampshire primary, although David Halberstram for one saw this image as "markedly contrasting with reality.' Newfield has a peculiar thesis on Kennedy. Essentially it is that the trauma of his brother John’s assassination "punctured the center of Kennedy's universe. It removed the hero-brother for whom he had submerged all of his own great competitive .instincts" shocking him into a classic adolescent identity crisis that triggered a search fpr his true self. This torture self evaluation made him look at the world in a new light, awakening a deep empathy within him that culminated in the idea that he suffering, a compassionate empathy that culminated in the idea that he could be a voice for the voiceless.” Because Kennedy’s sublimated conscience developed relatively late in life, he transcended the obsolete baggage of the New Deal liberals like Adali of Americans Stevenson, Humphrey and for Democratic Action. Kennedy’s independent and innovative progressivism as it evolved in the mid sixties was uniquely attractive to minorities, and even touched some people in the New Left, such as Tom Hayden. It spawned some truly novel and successful the them programs,' among Development Community Bedford-Stuyvesant Program, still working and still successful. Robert Kennedy wasn’t the traditional style liberal, a la Humphrey. Kennedy’s liberalism lay in the fact that he “gave a damn.” In the loss of that promise lies the aguish of Newfield and of the whole nation upon Kennedy’s tragifedeath. 1 * * * * All MFC students Deadline for Scholarship and grant applications has been extended to .

Girlfriends. Girlfriends, directed by Claudia Weill, is not a woman’s film; it is a film about a woman. The distinction is crucial. The former is a feminist abstraction caring more for ideology than it does for people. The latter is a type of film which cares for people who are also women. The lead character of Girlfriends, Susan (Melanie Mayron), is not a model held up for ideological scrutiny. She is not presented as a monument to womanhood or as a manipulated victim of sexism. Susan is a strange, witty, personable woman with funny-looking glasses, two chins, and an unflattering head of hair. She is not to be taken for anything but herself. The film opens with Susan living with her best friend, Annie (Anita Skinner). They have a soft, round relationship of give and take not depicted as idyllic but certainly seen ~as tender and loving. When Annie gels married and leaves, Susan feels betrayed and the film documents her attempt to deal with her feelings of abandonment both by trying to adjust to life alone and by trying to find somebody else. Different guests Contrast Girlfriends with Paul Unmarried An Woman. That film starred Jill Clayburgh as Erica, who is, as Stanley Kauffman described her, “a slick mannequin seemingly made of chrome. I have a feeling that if you flicked her with your finger, she would ping.” She is a rich, fashionable, and bourgeois woman (while Susan’s a poor, homely artist) who, upon her divorce, sets out on a Homeric Mazursky’s of modern life quest for catharsis and happiness (the two are equated). Susan’s on a quest too, but hers isn’t doped up with injections of nobility and feminist rhetoric. Susan’s quest is one of quite traveling. Girlfriends doesn’t pull any punches. The film’s end is inconclusive. Susan *s life (like anyone’s life) is fraught with inconclusion. When Annie asks Susan for advice on an important matter, Susan, despite her concern, says, "I don’t know what's best for you, Annie.” Clayburgh’s character engages in endless rap sessions, replete with all the required hair-tearing, tears, and feminist pep-talk. Of course, the worst thing about the feminism in An Unmarried Woman is that it’s all fake. Erica’s problems are all solved when she meets Mr. Right. Mr. Right is handsome, exciting, English, compassionate, liberated, and so on, ad nauseum. Susan meets somebody too, but her problems do not disappear in his arms. Eric is an okay-looking guy by Glenn Bowman The hero of Franco Brunati’s Bread and Chocolate enters the film as a black shadow thrown across the chromatic pastorale of cultured Swiss picnickers basking in the opulence of a public ■garden. Nino (Nino Manfredi) is not, however, some sort of dark avenger introduced into the film as a scourge of the mercantile elite. He is instead a poor Italian laborer who has come to Switzerland to earn money for his family by giving the rich the' services to which they are accustomed. He is one of the necessary of the supports high-culture, high-style world of THE NEW ALLENDALE 203 Allen St. - 883-2891 WEEKDAYS 7:00 and 8:50 pm Sat. 8< Sun. 2, 3:50, 7, & 8:50 pm 6258535 3 BIG X-Rated Every Inch a Lady 9 pm DANISH PASTRIES 10:30 SEX THIEF , 7:30 Late show Friday Sat.

He, like the multitude of other foreign workers in the film, does not shadow the wealthy in their playgrounds, but is himself kept in the shadows by a society that both needs cheap labor and struggles, to conceal its presence. Political, humorous, and stunning The political content of the film does not prevent it from being both humorous and stunning (in the sense of leaving paralyzed). Initially the film brings to mind certain Lena Wertmuller works particularly The Seduction of Mimi. However, Brunati is not an overt Marxist '(if he is Marxist at you finally — does not commit the ultimate sin against American taste by showing that characters are formed from social forces. Unlike Wcrlmuller's "heroes" and “heroines," characters made grotesque by their engagement in a corrupt world, Brunati's Nino and Elijna (Anna Karina) remain alluringly human throughout the vicissitudes of life in exile. In one sequence Nino has gone to seek work among a family of all): he A portent amazing thing about An Girlfriends is that it is Claudia Weill’s first film.

The idea of reification is unmistakeable the Italians, who live by slashing the throats of chickens, become the feathered victims of their own labor but whereas Wertmuller would leave us with the image Of humans turned poultry, Brunati aNows his characters the dignity of struggling once again to the human surface. The scene closes with Nino and the chicken slaughterers staring with human (all too human) longing through chicken wire onto a Wagnerian idyll of Swiss teenagers frolicking naked in a mountain lake. We find ourselves struck less by the inhumanity of particular social structure than by the pathos of - — -» | ' r T 3 m who’s a bit stuck on himself, a bit o dumb, but caring and human. 8 Claudia Weill has realized what Paul Mazursky didn’t: characters 1 don’t have to be perfect, don’t -S have to be shining knights in order to be interesting characters. Susan is a character who will live in the mind long after Mazursky’s chicly-dressed puppet has been (mercifully) forgotten. Laughing at the class struggle: 'Bread and Chocolate' a delectable fi humans forced to wear the masks of the sub-human Promises As in Fassbinder'S The Fox, the characters in Bread and Chocolate can’t go home again. The allure of a country in which money is taken for granted refuses them the authenticity of a return to the impoverished life on the other side of the border. Nino is left between Italy and Switzerland between bread and chocolate and the power of the last scene must be left to the delectation of the viewer. All in all, Bread and Chocolate is a superb flick which, unlike most, fulfills the promise of its posters: “You’ll laugh till your heart breaks.’’ — �m «*» i f , "I LIKE LITE MORE THAN I LIKE REFS.

Look at album titles. Cosmic Messenger Poniy's Enigmatic Ocean bitrary, if you ask Imaginary Voyage. Absolutely me t But the story at hand is the new Ponty release, and it is a good one, at that. Ponty has shown sparkle from the beginning, but it’s not until his last album, Enigmatic Ocean, that the music has been even throughout. Altsolo musicians like to hog the spotlight, but many times it bogs down and bores. Through his last two releases, he's contained his soloing and his ego. He’s found a competent and flexible band, and has settled in. Ralphe Armstrong continuously powers the group with his throbbing bass. He’s been playing with Ponty since days of Mahavishnu past, and is rapidly establishing himself as a key figure in the band. Allan Zavod handles the keyboards well, and a new drummer, Casey Scheuerell, does the job adequately. Daryl Stuermer’s hot guitar is sorrily missed, taking a suprise trip to Genesis, but two new guitarists fill the hole satisfactorily. “Don’t Let the World Pass You By,” a slow starting number, slips into a good, funky bass line. Zavod responds with a nifty synthesizer solo. "Egocentric Molecules,” the last, and probably best cut on the record, shows, without a doubt, that the Woody Shaw, Little Red's fantasy (Muse) The serious_ flamboyance of pianist Ronnie Matthews’ Jean Marie sets the magically earthy sunshine that has become associated with Woody Shaw. The ballet-swinging trumpeter shines on this date, one he recorded back in 1976 for the Muse label. Whoever he records for (he’s now with Columbia), Woody is one of the natural muses, a master whose velvet-toned trumpet play can sing sweetly, shout daringly, or sigh imploringly. Think of a melody drifting firmly from rooftops into the open air and streets, and you’ll find Woody, flying. Stafford James' bass sets the pace for his rhumba-flavored Sashianova, as Frank Strozier’s alto burns and Woody literally plays the fire. Matthews’ Ella Fitzgerald, Lady Time (Pablo) Tommy Flanagan, Something Borrowed, Something Blue (Galaxy) Time has been kind to Ella Fitzgerald and Tommy Flanagan. The work of these two performers, who attained musical maturity in the 1940’s, still speaks volumes on the subject of where jazz is coming from and what it is all about. On Lady Time Ella is in characteristically good form, singing and scatting her way through an assortment of eleven standard tunes. Backed by a two man rhythm section she demonstrates her ability to breathe new life into such timeworn workhorses as "I Cried For You” and “Mack the Knife.” Occasionally, as on Fats Domino’s “fm Walkin’ ”, the selections are given a bit more time than they merit, but in general this is an upbeat and appealing set. Backing Ella on this are two pros from the Pablo team, Jackie Davis on Hammond organ and Louis -Bellson on drums. Davis’ comping is tasteful and swinging, although his solos are little more than adequate and generalfy tend to dissipate the energy which is generated by the vocals. Bellson makes all the right moves but never really comes to the fore. For years now, the choicest sides produced by Ella Fitzgerald have featured pianist Tommy Flanagan. Flanagan has long been one of the finest jazz accompianists, as his sessions in the late 50’s and early 60’s with such greats as Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Wes Montgomery will Steve Gadd handles the drums on all the songs, and he’s the next likely candidate for a solo disc. He’s consistently incredible. Ralph MacDonald helps on percussion, and Don Grolnick and Will Lee, two perennial session artists, lend their hands on keyboards and bass, respectively. Bob James contributes a synthesizer solo on the title cutt but repetition hurts this selection too much. The Breckcr Brothers and David Sanborn star on three cuts, and these numbers easily work the best. The horns carry-the music, and are missed on the other cuts. Sanborn blows out some bittersweet notes on "The Little Ones, 1 and Michael Brecker does a beautiful solo on "An Eye Over Autumn For Folon.” The horns should have been retained through the entire album, to pick up the music when it starts to drag. Khan seems to be able to compose and can surely hold his own on guitar. This isn’t his first solo effort, though he’s fairly new to it.

Red's Fantasy into perpetual motion. The great heart evident in Woody’s playing and songwriting comes through in a telling coup bringing images of all the great trumpeters before him smiling full approval. Tomorrow’s Destiny resounds the continuation of the innovative spirit wide with optimism ringing in the future. As I once said elsewhere. Woody is no mere hard-bopper (whatever that label is about), but an artist firm in all lyrical traditions, and the direct openness h(? enjoys and brings to us in song is yet another fine point of what it’s all about. Catch the scents of rosewood. Michael F. Hopkins readily attest. Generally regarded as the consumatc hard bop pianist of his time, his extensive sesion work nevertheless featured far too little of his solo work. On Something Borrowed, Something Blue, however, Flanagan fronts a trio and makes use of the opportunity by stretching out and displaying his considerable talents. Playing an extremely controlled and precise piano, as is his wont, Flanagan glides through the seven selections on this album with flawless ease. Flanagan, one of theibremost disciples of Bud Powell, plays a set which consists mainly of bop anthems such as Tad Dameron’s “Good Bait”, Dizzy’s “Groovin’ High” and Monk’s all-too-often ignored "Friday the 13th”. Florace Silver’s lovely ballad “Peace”, beautifully demonstrates Flanagan’s minimalist approach toward left hand playing and his facility for clean, well-conceived solo lines. The title tune is the sole Flanagan original, featuring a blues line and a bop harmonic structure combined, with a Latin rhythmic pattern. The result is altogether engaging. Flanagan plays both acoustic and electric piano on this album and is accompanied, very competently, by Keter Betts on bass and Jimmy Smith on drums.

Weill’s direction, in this first effort, lacks polish and verve. Her camera stays close to characters’ faces, the lens seeking to capture every flutter of eyelashes, every crinkle of the brow, every pensive expression. This kind of close-up shot dominated the film. While we expect, this of television, on the big screen, the effect is affected. In the visual grammar of film, a close-up is for special emphasis.

Supporting Schnitter’s flights is bassist Cecil McBee, whose imaginative power and spirit lifts the entire date. McBee is certainly a giant in his own right; A sensitive rhythmic counterpart to McBee, drummer Eddie Moore is all ears. Pianist Hubert Eaves’ tastefulness reaches an energetic peak in the standard “My Funny Valentine.” The chart, which has been approached anew by many of jazz’s giants, is given new freshness by a shade of the mysterious. McBee is the spirit. Brazilian trumpeter Claudio Roditi sits in for two of the session’s charts, “Goliath” and “Memories Part Two.” The latter, an original Roditti composition, as well as Schnittcr’s "Goliath,” provides us with a taste of Roditti which whets the appetite for future work by the vibrant - trumpeter. Hubert Eaves’ composition “Swing Thing” is just that, a brew of high energy swing by McBee and Moore. Schnitter’s fat tenor texture summons thoughts of Dexter Gordon, who should feel complimented by his influence on Schnitter’s sound. The title track of Goliath is a true reflection of the man and those whose musical voices preceded his. Once more McBee and Moore powerfully provide the vital contours for explorations by Schnitter, Eaves and Roditti. Goliath is a smile that creates the desire in the future. For Schnitter and Roditti, the future promises. With McBee, the promise is realized. Have the experience. Michael Nord _ Various Artists, The South’s Greatest Hits Volume II (Capricorn) Various Artists, Hotels, Motels and Road Shows (Capricorn) The Marshall Tucker Band, Greatest Hits (Capricorn) Capricorn Records, the Macon based -subsidiary of Warner Brothers Records, has had a strangle-hold on the Southern-Rock market from the genre's inception. During the late 60’s, company president Phil promising Walden began recruiting nationally unknown groups to be part of the label’s all-southern lineup. With the monumental success of the Allman Brothers, and the subsequent wave of Southern groups which followed in their path, Capricorn (and its artists) enjoyed years of commercial success. Similar to the essence of Joseph’s interpretation of the Pharoah’s dream, one envisions the fat years for Capricorn to be in the midst followed by the lean Many of the label's past bread-winners (such as The Allman Brothers, The Marshall Tucker Band, and Elvin Bishop) are well past their commercial, as well as musical primes? In an effort to squeeze the last drops of profit from those fallen artists, Capricorn has released quite a few V 1 retrospective albums this fall. The South's Greatest Hits Volume 11 presents nine relatively well known F.M. hits'recorded on and off the Capricorn label. The Allman Brother's "Jessica”, Marshall Tucker’s “Heard it in a Love Song”, Atlanta Rhythm Sections’s "So Into You”, Wet Willie’s “Street Corner The Outlaw’s "Hurry Seranade", Sundown”, and Charlie Daniel’s "Long Haired Country Boy” are six of the ' JAZZ returns...

The three remaining tunes have been included not so much because they represent the best (or most commercial) music to come out of the South, but to serve as a plug to help spark artists’ sales. Hotels, Motels, and Road Shows, a two record live set is filled with both previously released and un-released material. The Allman Brother's “Stateboro Blues” and The Marshall Tucker Band's "Take The Highway” (both re-released) are two of the album's better tunes. Material by Sea Level, Stillwater, Gregg Allman, DicTsy Betts, The Dixie Dreggs, Grinderswitch, Elvin Bishop, Wet Willie, and Bonnie Bramlett are for the most part admirably performed yet sloppily recorded. On the Christmas release list of “best ofs” is The Marshall Tucker Band's Greatest Hits which is exactly that. This single album contains "Can’t You See”, "Heard It In A Love Song", "Searchin’ For A Rainbow”, "Ramblin' ”, “Fire On The Mountain”, “This 01' Cowboy”, "24 Hours At A Time”, and “Long Hard Ride”. For someone unfamiliar with the band, this album represents a fair idea of what to expect from this band. The more experienced may prefer one of their albums. —Andrew Ross COURTS. Baraka In Santana, Inner Secrets (Columbia) Carlos Santana as constantly changing his group and music and the new album by the Santana band, Inner Secrets, is no exception. Keyboardist and writer Tom Coster and percussionist lose Areas have been replaced by returning percussionist Armando Peraza and new members Chris Solberg on guitar and Chris Rhyne on keyboards and synthesizers. Santana seems towards more pop-oriented headed material, gelling away from the Latin roots which originally gave the group its popularity. "Dealer," one of three old songs on Inner Secrets, is similar to Traffic’s version with Greg Walker performing an excellent imitation of Steve Winwood on vocals. The Buddy Holly tune, "WelJ, All Right” is a follow-up to "She’s Not There” with Carlos in good form but unfortunately this song is destined to be played-out by radio. Santana delves into heavy metal with taste on'"Open Invitation," where Carlos and Solberg trade-off leads, showing up such note-mashers as Black Sabbath and Ted_Nugent. On the opposite end, Santana slows down on the songs "Life is a Lady” and "Holiday” but his Yamaha guitar-work lacks the emotion put forth on “Moonflower.” or "Europa.” There are a few cuts on Inner Secrets that just don’t live up to the Santana standards presented on their last album, Moonflower. The big "hit,” “One Chain (Don’t Make No Prison),” also destined to be played-out, is all "disco,” with Carlos Santana’s guitar unsuccessfully trying to overshadow this tragic waste of talent. Evidence of this is Greg Walker’s vocals on "One Chain,” where they set the style for this song (and others such as "Move Ort*’) with soul-ful lyrics and funk-y rhythm to form the type of music that may very well turn off old Santana fans. And just when Carlos gets into his best run on the album, the song fades out. The one hope on this album is the closing cut, "Wham!” where the Latin percussionists Armando Peraza, Pete Escoveda, and Raul Rekow finally catch fire and, with Graham Lear on drums, lead Carlos Santana into the latin-rock mode that was so prevalent on the albums Moonflower and Caravanserai. The only conclusion regarding Inner Secrets is that this album should be considered “strictly —Frank Ferrigno commercial.” presented Buffalo World renowned poet Imamu Baraka will be reciting tonight at 9. p.m. at the Allentown Community Center, 111 Elmwood Avenue.

Angel City plays on the shores of the surreal by situating itself in what has to be our most bizarre industry the Hollywood dream machine. In the frantic search by two movie executives for the ultimate disaster movie, a very Western mystic is summoned to the sort produce a miracle written up in the Bible for the express purpose of giving celluloid presence to the worse amorphous fears of our nightmares.

Whether they find their miracle is something you should tell me. Before you can, though, the production’s dramatic pacing tires you out for little good purpose. In other words, the production is unduly long. Multiple climaxes are best relegated to sex, disco songs and those television programs forced to hold you through each set of commericals. In plays, they are very hard to use without diminshing the force of the conclusive climax. Angel City succumbs to this fault. Theater of gab What, Angel City does have going for it besides some very effective staging (in which multiple aspects of a scene are shown simultaneously) is a very strong cast. Audiences are more willing to stay with a playwright for a long time if he has humor to offer along the way. Fortunately, Angel City has a cast that takes full advantage of this element.

Confidentiality threatens paper GAINSVILLE, FLA. (CH) The editor of the University of Florida newspaper, the Florida Alligator, has said he will never reveal the name of a confidential source under court duress even though his failure to do so may result in a judge’s dismissal of the Newspaper’s suit against former student government leaders. The Alligator is seeking $60,000 in punitive damages, $6,000 in actual damages and all attorney and court fees from 10 students allegedly involved in the April, 1976 theft of over 17.000 copies of a special student government election issue that included - Downstate characters The image UB has developed in history often appears unfavorable and even frightening recent to candidates endorsements. A circuit judge ordered the Alligator this month to reveal the name of a cource who has supplied the paper with evidence regarding former student leaders’ involvement in the theft. Meanwhile, attorneys for the Alligator are seeking to add the names of two former student body presidents to the list of defendants in the suit. Because the Alligator has refused to comply with the judge’s order, he must decide whether to dismiss the case or simply deny the newspaper’s right to use the evidence in court. A decision is some students. Students often worry about the different tybes of people who will attend UB with them. "The most negative sound I hear from students about UB is the high percentage of downstaters who"’ are -also attending,” Related Chase. Both counselors agreed that students do have preconceived notions about the downstate element, but none believe that it is strong enough to prevent a student from attending UB. At Bennett High School, a student voiced his opinion about UB students. “Most of them are good students,” he maintained. “However you do have your everyday, radical hippies who are going around trying to cause trouble with no real basis,” he concluded. This student has, however, made UB his first choice as a college to attend next year. A student at Cleveland Hill pending. State renegs on pledge Insurance Dept. fails to open Buffalo office by Joel DiMarco City Editor A promise made by the State Insurance Department to establish a branch office in Buffalo has failed to materialize, despite the firm pledge in October that at least a small, make-shift office would be operating by December 1 last Friday. The measure has been pressed by State Senator Joseph Tauriello, Assemblyman William B. Hoyt and in particular the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) which has handled more than 1000 consumer complaints since it opened the Auto Insurance Center in May. Hoyt and Tauriello, who were both running for reelection at the time, asked Insurance Commissioner Albert E. Lewis to establish the Buffalo satellite office and when Lewis agreed to, the new office during the course of the campaign, each cited it as one of his political High School echoed many of the evaluated on the basis of their same views, “There are problems high sch6ol average, SAT scores at UB. from stuff I -heard about and class rank.

Sullivan, who heads the Information Center, said, “The last time 1 talked to the department their story was that January first was the nearest possible opening date for the new office.” Sullivan added that the department was also considering pushing the opening as far ahead as May 1 when the new state budget goes into effect. Flights ore Insurance reform Sullivan pointed out that the only two satellite offices of the Insurance Department are downstate. “They seem to think that anything west of the Hudson River doesn’t exist,” he remarked. Presently, the Insurance Department handles most complaints through its toll-free phone number but Sullivan noted that most people who use the number encounter a busy signal. “We handle a variety of complaints,” said Sullivan, “but most of them are just from people who aren’t sure what their rights are. The Insurance Department just hasn’t helped any in explaining these rights to the people in this area.” According to Sullivan, NYPIRG is also trying to aid consumers by getting the so-called Nicholosi bill passed by the State Legislature. The bill calls- for mgjor reforms in the way insurance companies classify their clients and set their rates. For example, the Nicholosi bill would breakup the assigned risk pool originally designed as a means of getting auto insurance for drivers with poor records. Such drivers are placed in the assigned risk pool and essentially drawn at random by insurance *80 f - In front of Ellicottesen Ellicott Governors Dewey Office Main Street in front of WlRC — - - or Safest roads The Nicholosi bill would also reduce the number of rate districts from 70 to 18, hopefully evening out some of the sharp differences in insurance rates across the State. Furthermore, the bill also requires fixed amounts for any increases in insurance rates in case of accident, instead of the present percentage increases Sullivan stated that the necessity of such auto insurance reforms is borne out in studies by the National Safety Council and the California Highway Patrol which demonstrate that New York State’s roads are among the safest in the nation. “But we still pay the highest rates,” in the IRCB offices - Friday 12-5 pm 104 Forgo Quad Monday - lor mdre information coll i noted.

Kang H �* X just m more The “new” look Bulls THEY MAY NOT GO UNDEFEATED: The Basketball Bulls are still a long way from emerging at a collegiate power, but with the coaching and discipline of first year coach Bill Hughe*, a significant sign of progress should be noticeable before very long. Catch the Bulls tomorrow night when they take on the challenge of the University of Akron. JEWISH STUDENT Bill Hughes enjoys a challenge His rebuilding of a morbid Frcdonia State basketball program took only two years, and developing them into a defensive powerhouse took little more. Now, the Bull’s head coach faces a the task of rebuilding and tremendously disorganized ridiculed UB basketball program for desperately striving respectability. Before Hughes can convince the Bull’s fans that aggressive basketball is back, he must establish himself in the eyes of his UNION AND CHABAD HOUSE INVITE YOU TO SPEND AN UNFORGETTABLE “SHABBOS” WITH own players, some of whom suffered through what might be described as poor instruction and lackadaisical coaching in the past. Hughes’ original workouts, including sprints and basic drills, were not unusual. The length of time his players spent on these drills however, was. Week after week they worked on the ground floor, with many players continually questioning Hughes' coaching techniques. “Many of us had doubts about the amount of on simple spent time we fundamentals,” stated forward Tony Smith, “but after pur first game there’s no doubt in my mind that they’ve really paid off.” favorites, Hughes plays no out continually chewing top players as well as substitutes. His practices are run with an understood purpose, each player knowing what is expected of him in addition to the mandatory team play concept every player giving a hustling 100 percent effort every minute of the game. — RABBI MEIR KAHANE Buffalo’s defense, formerly regarded as “hope you miss” by many,, has been redefined and continually stressed. In addition, their “run and gun” offense has been tamed down when the clear fastbreak is opportunity unavailable. The important respect Hughes has acquired from his players is necessary for a winning ball club. Players have responded to the coaches “b utt-kicking” instruction, helping each other but in key situations.

The players’ totally conformity to his type of game will take some time. Not having an “easy” opponent in their first four games may also be a setback Their next two opponents, Akron and Canisius, are both highly regarded Division I schools, known for their basketball abilities. The Bulls’ defense will have to employ the hustling “never quit” philosophy they did against Sienna, while their shooting must begin to exhibit a "degree of improvement. Hughes is not one for alibis. He is more than remotely interested in developing a substantial student interest in basketball here and promises hustle and hard work from his team in return. Hughes becoming an is impressive figure at UB by merit of hif basketball knowledge and the immediate results he has gained from a team totally unfamiliar with his coaching philosophy. Bulls fans this year will no doubt have a much more exciting and talented squad than in years past. This, along with what appears to be very competent .coaching, will hopefully combine for a very successful Buffalo Basketball program. Fans who attend Saturday’s home opener against University of Akron can be assured of a new, hustling type of game not seen at UB in quite some time.

' ' K - Fur-lined gloves Though not on the endangered species list, the seal population has dropped from 5 million in 1950 to under one million today, according to the Committee' on Seals and Sealing (COSS). The seal population faces extinction if present practices are rfot stopped. Karanofsky the explained background of the harp seal hunt. Seals are social beings, he said. In the middle of March they migrate from the south Arctic to the and Newfoundland, north. establish nurseries where they give birth and raise their pups. The young are born with a white fur coat to protect them from the cold until they develop a layer of fat. The fur, highly valued by Norwegian sealers, is'used to line gloves and boots as well as for miniature baby seal knick-knacks. Norwegian ships enter the ice floes off the coast of Newfoundland and proceed to the main seal nurseries. In the process, hundreds of pups are crushed -continued • from page 4— • national organization which seeks curtail man’s careless disruption of the world's ecology. In recent yfiars, Greenpeace has launched many programs to stop the seal hunt, one of which called for the use of an organic dye to mar the pup’s fur, making it worthless. Another plan was to fly helicopters in advance of the sealer’s ships in order to scatter the seals before the ships arrived. In addition, many Greenpeace members, including Congressman Lee Ryan of California, recently killed in Guyana, took part in demonstrations in anti-hunt Newfoundland. to Doomed to extinction Both Greenpeace plans were the Canadian countered by government, which amended its Seal Protection Act making it illegal to tag or mark (dye) seals and to fly a helicopter within a three mile radius of seal nurseries. This was done to protect the seals from possible harm, according to the Canadian government. “I consider both amendments to be bullshit,” exclaimed Karanofsky. The Canadian government has sought to defend the seal hunt by saying that the seals compete with man for the limited supply of game fish, however Karanofsky refuted this claim. “Seals do not, for the most part, eat game fish,” he reported. “The fish they eat are not sought by man.” -The Canadian government has also stated that the hunt is important . to the economy of Newfoundland. Yet Greenpeace has contended that the hunt contributes three million dollars, accounting for .1 percent of the Newfoundland economy. The hunt employs .2 percent of the province's 560,000 people, Greenpeace revealed. Prodded by Greenpeace and other organizations, the Canadian government has placed quotas on the number of pups. killed per season. “That quota has since been raised from 165,000 to 175,000,” noted Karanofsky. Last quota was not met due to severe storms, but to some, this ominous fact indicates that if trends continue, the harp seal is doomed to extinction. because they cannot move fast enough to get out of the way of the ships, Karanofsky said. Once at the nurseries, the sealers employ clubs to kill the pups. Then they are skinned, the carcasses left to rot. If a mother tries to protect her pups, she is also killed. “I just can’t sec animals being killed for their fur when man can make synthetic fur very efficiently,” said Karanofsky. Protecting baby seals BARC is a member of the Greenpeace a foundation. —Buchanan 'AND OVER HERE’: Hardld Cohen, Dean of the School of Architecture and Environmental Design, presented his Downtown Buffalo Entertainment District Project to Joan Mondale Wednesday as they, walked through the run-down heart of Buffalo. Mayor James Griffinpledged that the University's support in revitalizing the downtown area will be repaid in kind. Mondale... —continued from page 4— “UB has been a help to us in the theater work project,” Mayor Griffin mentioned. “Dean Cohen has helped design the architecture and President Ketter has been helpful. There has been cooperation with the Theater Department at the University in alLperspectives. With great s help from UB on this, we can and will be helping UB.”. Mondale said she sees the arts as hand-in-hand with the regeneration of Buffalo’s downtown, noting, “Urban centers are centers of problems. The arts can help by revitalizing them.” She cited the performing arts as being able to attract not just theatergoers and local people, but also visitors to the city. Comparing the arts to a rock thrown in water causing ripples, she described them as a “sound, progressive economic asset on other businesses. Not only will theaters grow, but as they do so will hotels and restaurants and even municipal parking facilities. There are many solutions to the problems of art- in urban centers-,” Mondale asserted. “Arts are not the only solution to urban life, but certainly one of the solutions.” - Tomatoes... —continued from page 21— " • have a shot.’* At Bennett, Nola described the successful University student. “It takes a special kind of student to be able to handle UB,” he said. “You have to cope with a lot, you have to have a lot between the ears.” He added, “There’s a great deal of competition, you really have to claw your way through and deal with so many factors.” One of the counselors voiced disatisfaction concerning the UB admissions policy. “The kinds of guidelines to tell students about UB is difficult. The predictive data that they supply us with has started to fall apart.” Chase elaborated, “Some of the students who applied, I didnT think that they would be accepted, but they . + ' • were. They changed the type of data they wanted. Our students still as prepared or unprepared as before.” Counselors have also noted that UB’s size is reflected in the adverse opinion that local seniors hold. The fear that they will be lost in the crowd and merely identified as a social security number is a common complaint. Nola remarked, “The most negative comment I’ve heard is about the size. 1 had a student who went to UB come back and tell me that she wantedto transfer,” he related. “She said it are was too impersonal. When she needed a recommendation from a professor, it was impossible since none of her teachers knew her.” * �classified needed SISTER to snare duplex apartment near MSC. 836-3520.

Maybe, if you’re lucky, you go in the Army. But they gonna get you off the streets one way or another.” Although no one on the corner seemed to listen, he talked with - increasing frustration about the lack of jobs and opportunities for escaping the ghetto life. Away from the street corners, the reality of what it means to be young, poor and non-white in this country will be affecting an increasing percentage of the population in the 980’s and I990’s. The number of voiceless and voteless brown and black youths in the society is growing, at the very time when the young white population is declining and older, mostly white, Americans are increasing by the millions. Since 1970, a recent Census Bureau survey shows, the number of people 55 years and older has increased by 5.3 million persons, while during that same period the youthful popluation (save for non-whites) was growing smaller. The number of Americans 13 and younger has decreased since 1970 by 6.4 million persons. In both demographic shifts, the lion’s share of the changes (4.6 million of the older gain and 6.3 million of the youth decline) occurred among whites. America’s black and Hispanic population continued not only to grow but to grow younger. Fewer white youths of the changes is be felt in urban centers throughout the country. As the largely white, middle-class worker has fewer white youth in his community in need of services, he sees less and less need to dependent, for services the significance The already beginning to non-productive, youth minority. Schools have been especially hard hit. The “taxpayer revolt” and declining enrollments have been used to justify school closings, teacher lay-offs, and service cutbacks in cities from coast to coast.

Non-whites now account for three out of four children in public schools of eight major cities. In 13 other cities, more than half the public school children are black, or from other non-white minority groups.

In a letter which has reached The Spectrum, the prisoner, who wished his name withheld, cited commonplace brutality by prison guards in his interpretation of the November 9 hanging of bdward Negron. “What really happened there will remain a secret from the public, “the prisoner wrote,” because (he officers protect themselves and each other and because the State will not allow the public to know that their officers actually do thing? of this nature.” Smith, Harold of the Attica Superintendent State Correctional Facility, refused to comment on Negron’s death and would give no Inside: Bus strike ends—?. 3 of the plight most endangered species is the young black male Hispanics in majority the a gross exaggeration Hispanic population.

The nation's 25 million blacks now constitute 1 2 percent of the popluation. or about twice the current estimates of the information to The Spectrum. “I to don’t talk student newspapers.” he stated "If you want the facts, read what was in the State newspapers.” Arthur Lve Assemblyman (D-Buffalo), a long time supporter reform, said he of prison demanded thorough a investigation of the Negron case at the State level. The findings of the Stale Corrections Commission have riot yet been made Public. Maximum observation At 5:30 p.m. November 9, Negron, of Staten Island, N.Y., reportedly threw a glass jar at officers on duty in D-block, here he was housed. Me was then handcuffed with plasti-cuffs and taken to the Special Housing Unit, otherwise known as “the Box.” The number of inmates held in this maximum security area is limited to insure constant surveillance by officers. Once the plasti-cuffs were removed, Negron attempted to ' 79— P. 4 / youth reached the chorus stage by summer, Endangered 1978. “Black males an Species?? homicide largest cause of death for black males aged 15 to 35 . , . 700,000 black males in prison," read Justine Rector’s flyers for the Foundation for the Preservation of Black Males in Philadelphia. Louis E. Martin, newly appointed Assistant on Black Issues to Jimmy Carter, wrote similarly in syndicated his column black in newspapers; “It has been said that the most endangered species in our time is the young black male. This may seem to be a gross exaggeration of the plight of our young men. but there is enough truth in the statement to be disturbing.” The National Urban League’s jesearch division describes the problem as “the crisis among black youth.” Paradoxically, the greater concentration of non-white youth in the inner cities, the dimmer the prospects of ever finding jobs: there has yet to be seen any strength in their numbers. More and more of the ever larger pool of young blacks are becoming part of the “hidden unemployed," according to an Urban League study.

Juanita Wade stated, “Many cry out for the basic skills, declaring that the old ways were In belter by Elena Cacavas . . Many sayteaching writers. Stating that his classes include workshops which create “a comfortable atmosphere for students,” Zipris added. “To be a good writer a student has to be a good reader. In these workshops Campus Editor Within the past ten years American educators have acknowledged the presence of functional illiteracy at the college level and have attempted to yearn for academicians who educated students able to present their ideas clearly and cohesively through written expression. Despite the fervor to correct the troubling situation, some “educators” have succumbed to the and illiteracy problem lowered consequently their standards to the level of students. University’s recent implementation of a curriculum plan which reverts back to emphasis on the core disciplines. , nyj 'k' ■ Back to basics Commonly referred to as The Harvard Plan, the program is '< considered a controversial move on the part of the University. Student protests there have argued as was the case in the 1960’s that structuring and tight requirements provide no outlet for academic energy. Defenders, however, in citing its necessity, have claimed that the plan is by no means a complete regression to “the three R’s and a — — birch stick." insufficient. “Teaching structure basic cannot provide a broad, intensive grounding for perspectives and images,” Sartisky claimed, calling upon all departments to assume providing in responsibility guard against “deficiency that could lead to a deterioration of structure and logic in college writing.” Remedial writing courses Also responding to ill-prepared students entering college, Wade 1975 issue of Education General, McGraw-Hill, a major textbook publisher, now asks authors of college textbooks to write them at the eighth or ninth grade reading level. Similarly. The Association of American Publishers’ Guide to Textbook Usage was recently downgraded from the 12th to the 9th grade level. The majority of those directly involved with the illiteracy problem, however, have not given in. Emblematic of what is going on across the nation is Harvard poor students with writing experience after basic skills are acquired. college-level combat TO illiteracy many functional educators , have called upon secondary school teachers to provide writing instruction. James Kinneavy, an English, professor at the University of Texas, suggests that secondary schools provide more writing practice to insure “a basic familiarity with words” as a identify its inducing agents. concrete however, Recently, measures toward remedying the situation have been proposed or worried implemented by According to a February writing is not overcome, however, to difficult one year of composition is utterly added, warns against university instructors assuming that students know more about writing than they actually do. She suggests that students teachers “confront individually” to be familiar with writing is anacronistic.” In a 1977 address contained in speaker R.R. Vital Speeches, Allen related to the “common cry for a return to the basics” stating, “Parents school boards, and pupils often demand that schools stop experimenting and get back to in reading, writing, and basics arithmetic, and standards of behavior to boot.” - Universities are responding to popular demands by broadening and integrating curriculums. The English department here is currently studying proposals which, will integrate writing courses with reading. According to Marcie Sherman, UB graduate* student and composition teacher, “students will now no longer be getting writing in a vacuum.” ' Cursory introduction Another graduate student and English instructor here, Lester Zipris, praised the integration encouraging better efforts for B.H New Perspectives in Jewish Thought Courses for Credit offered by the Religious Studies Program The Holocaust & Jewish Law RSP 283, Reg.

Claiming that “analysis longer is no provided,” Sartisky said that opinion is instead substituted. He ‘Invest in skills before assignments are given. To combat functional illiteracy institutions many of higher education have been forced to institute remedial writing courses commonly referred to, Allen tells us, as “courses in ‘bonehead English’.” Barbara Gordon, Coordinator of the Writing Place at this University said that writing being labs are started in Many institutions of higher learning have been forced to institute remedial writing classes, commonly referred to as courses in ‘bonehead English throughout universities the country. She added that “even schools secondary are now establishing tutorial assistances,” Director of UB’s Learning Center, Charles Cooper agrees . , , “Throughout their college years students should be able to find on a drop in, no fee basis, expert tutorial help with any writing problem in a paper.” According to Cooper, as long as we admit students lacking in writing skills, “We have an obligation to provide them with comprehensive writing programs.” He calls for instructional focus on the pre-writing and revising stages of the composing process.” Government involvement A unique approach toward combatting incompetencies in writing was offered by Zipris who connected the problem to a lack of understanding of language. He stated that teachers “don’t recognize the validity of dialect or and language,” idiomatic explained that he has incorporated into his teaching an awareness of students’ spoken language patterns. “If you get them to recogize —continued on buffalo’ campaign Western Savings Bank IS picketed for alleged redlin ng Members of the “Invest in Buffalo” campaign picketed the site of Western Savings Bank new branch location at 807 Elmwood Saturday to protest the bank’s alleged redlining policies. The group appeared at the site bearing sign with a large redline on it and demanded that Western reinvest a greater portion of the deposits it receives from its city customers into city mortgages. Redlining is a banking practice whereby an entire area is labelled a “bad risk”. Mortgage and home improvement loans are then denied to residents of that area. Continued pressure “We are doing this because of Western Savings Bank’s previous record in the city of Buffalo,” explained campaign organizer Larry Farber. “In 1977, Western Saving’s Bank returned 100.6 percent of its suburban desposits back into the suburbs in the form of mortgages in Buffalo. We feel that if this bank opens a new city branch, it would only help facilitate Western’s utilization of city money for investment in the suburbs and out of state.” The “Invest in Buffalo” campaign was started in late October by a coalitipn of public advocacy groups including the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) and the Fillmore Area Residents Inc. (FLARE) after a NYPIRG report indicated that banks were redlining Buffalo. On November 28, members of the campaign visited Western Saving’s, met with the bank’s vice-president William Derpo and presented him with a list of six reinvestment proposals. The group also invited Charles Diebold, President of Western Savings Bank, to meet with them at the Prince of Peace Temple on Kensington Avenue promising to picket Western’s new branch location if he failed to show. On that same day, members of the campaign filed testimony with the New York State Banking Department opposing Western Savings Bank’s application to open the new branch. Members of the “Invest in Buffalo” campaign have pledged to continue to pressure Western, which it maintains is the bank most heavily engaged in redlining Buffalo. — Latin American Committee of the Council on International Studies announces a discussion on National Health Care Systems in Latin America Chassidic Philosophy RSP 205, Reg.

Peradotto, who brought the issue to the Faculty Senate before his appointment as Dean, is not satisfied with the policy for handling the submission of late grades.

Last year, Dowd said, the Huffalonian lost t $6000-$7000. The deficit, he said, “WilJ expensive book.” Dowd estimated that the cost of this two year’s publication will run about $15 per book , over funding and hampered by the Student Association’s the work he has done to get funding for the publication.

GET YOUR RIDE HOME CLASSIFIED RIDE BOARD $ l.50/Tcn Words. Pen points Try Outlining! There is a strategy in the writing process that lies somewhere between deciding on a topic and actually writing the paper. Unfortunately, many writers often bypass this stage at the expense of their final product. The mere naming of the strategy, which I shall call outlining, raises several doubtful eyebrows. Why bother outlining? Why does this ungracious dead horse keep returning to haunt unaccepting writers. Since writing necessarily involves thinking, methods which may improve thinking might also improve your writing. Outlining aims at three basic skills of critical thinking: acquisition, organization and evaluation of writing. Out-lining offers you a way to construct your already generated ideas into written structure. In other words, if your papers don’t seem to “flow”, or are often entitled, “Unorganized”, then outlining may be what you need. The two outlining techniques I will describe are mapping and idea trees. The first applies a structure to your completely generated ideas, while the second allows you to structure your ideas as you generate the lit. Mapping your ideas consists mainly of applying a given structure to your ideas so as to organize them. The organizational components of the ‘map’ include 1. State the main idea of your paper 2. Identify and catagorize the subtopics. 3. Discuss the major theme and its subtopics (include supportive ideas.) Offer possible applications and implications of the material Offet your own personal reaction to the material. The actual topic of your paper will dictate how closely you can follow the structure of the map. The value of the map is that it ensures that you have considered all the important categories and that your ideas are arranged in a logical order. A simple idea tree, begins with putting the fragments of brainstorming into a hierarchical order. Then your next task is to generate new ideas that will tie those fragments together. An idea tree is a tool which helps you see the structure of your thought as it develops and see where more thinking is necessary. For example, an idea*tree might pass through these stages: ANTHROPOLOGY, SPECIALIZING IN: American Studies, Art & Art History, Classics, Computer Education, Engineering, English, Health Related Professions, Mathematics, Modern Science.

SA is provided with almost $900,000 annually through collection of the $70 activity charge. Schwartz said that SUNY Chancellor Clifton Warton has suggested various ways to dodge the funding problem, among them the separate athletic fee. Wharton also proposed the alternative that SUNY find $1 million to alleviate the problems. This idea is favored by the Student Association of the State University (SASU), but seems unlikely in view of the tight money statewide. The formal proposal of the new student fee will be presented to SASU President Steve Allinger later this month by SUNY Vice Chancellor for Educational Services James Smoot. — ' The Sports Desk of The Spectrum wishes to correct the statement which printed the 1977-78 women's basketball Royals record as 7-12.

Officials of the City University also believe CUNY should remain independent. They argue that combining two large university systems would create very an administrative nightmare. Officials also pointed out the different histories of the systems. The City University was founded more than a cnetury ago to bring education to the poor. CUNY officials claim that it still provides service in this manner and that the State University, Mere speculation with its primarily middle-class constitutency, does CUNY, which has an annual operating budget of not. $455 million, is comprised of nine senior and upper colleges and division colleges, nine community 174,000 student graduate centers. The Times stated, “The primary alternative to a continuation of an independent City University is a takeover by the State University.” Bill Touhey, Public Relations Officer of the SUNY system, echoed Carlucci’s sentiments in declaring that the article was “mere speculation of the press.” Questions were first raised four years ago concerning the economic feasibility of continuing an independent City University. According to The Times, New York City when confronted with a fiscal crisis, began backing away from financial support. In return for the Board’s abolition of free tuition, Albany agreed to increase its share of the net costs of CUNY’s senior colleges from 50 to 75 percent. Many State administrators believe that an incorporation of CUNY into the SUNy system would be beneficial to SUNY. The merger would bring the City and State Universities under a single governing board. When vying for funds, the larger Sate University would be competing with private colleges for a larger portion of the monies available to both sectors, instead of competing directly against CUNY and private schools, as it does now. Carlucci concluded that, despite forebodings in the press, no merger is imminent. Rothestein concurred, saying that “even if a merger, was to occur, the process would be very gradual. One school at a time would be incorporated into the State system. No major combination of the two systems would occur.” SA Task Force to formulate® new guidelines in wake of poster torture of Palestinians in by Steve Moonitz by the bitter Spurred at a aroused controversy November 2 public presentation by the Organization of Arab the Student Students (OAS), Association (SA) Task Force has FOR HAIR Ave. a $20 value for the Education Editor of the Times, Edward B.

York administration - The Student Association (SA) Executive Committee voiced Monday unanimous opposition to the Council of College Presidents proposed co-curricular student fee. The proposal calls for the creation of a separate mandatory fee collected along with the current student activity fee, but placed under administrative control to fund co-curricular activities such as athletics, dance troupes, craft centers and other various programs, depending on how the SUNY system eventually defines the term “co-curricular.” Besides diminishing usable money under student control, the Executive Committee felt the proposed fee would simply be a way for SUNY to avoid pushing for state funding of student athletic programs. The proposal comes as a response to concern that student-funded programs are unstable. The Spectrum reported last week. Rather than the creation of a separate administration-controlled fee to be used for funding all activities defined as co-curricular, SA members favor a program such as the one used in California State schools, where a separate studSnt fee is used strictly for athletic Sports correction Mayor Edward Koch’s City now wants the State to assume all the operating and capital costs of the senior colleges.

In that regard we have attempted to keep our service and equipment on a first class level. We have always conformed to the demands of the University’s transportation situation by either adding or deleting buses according to the requirements set forth by the University. And, we have strived to be most comperative in this and other related areas. It should be noted that although Blue Bird is committed to serving the University's needs spread across a 12-month period, we are only paid for the actual buses operated during that time. When UB is not in session and buses are not moving, the company is not paid. Our main purpose is to get the students to and from classes in as efficient a manner as possible. To this end, we feel that we arc fulfilling our contractual promise. For the most part, we also feel that most of the more than 25,000 students have been cooperative and understanding during this trying period of the strike. As for Blue Bird’s position on the current labor with its drivers, mechanics and service personnel, we firmly and honestly feel that we have made a more than fair package offer to Division 1203, Amalgamted Transit Union, and we wonder why not a single vote to consider the offer has been called for since the employees voted to go out on strike on November 1. The offer placed before the union negotiating committee is well above the figures that have been quoted in various letters to the editor and other printed materials distributed on the campus. It is not true, as has been alleged, that all bus companies charge t he same rates. There can be no comparison regarding tariffs of Greyhound and Blue Bird, At the local level, Blue Bird Coach Lines, Inc must remain competitive with other local carriers. In summation we are confident that we are living up to our obligations to the University, and we remain available at all times to meet with the of committee Division 1203, negotiating Amalgamated Transit Union, in an effort to resolve this labor dispute. dispute Herbert L.

I was certainly pleased to read that commuters were finally receiving some consideration from this University in regards to the parking situation, but I was also unhappy to see that consideration came at the expense of resident students. Being a commuter, I can more than sympathize with those residents who search nightly for that one lone parking space, perhaps now they can somewhat understand the plight of commuters, we must serach for that one lone parking space every day! If we are lucky engough to find it, it is usually a considerable distance from the location of our class.

No, it is certainly not easy have a car at this University, however, for sor people necessity dictates that they do have one. It is my intention to present a “Reasonable Alternative” to the Traffic Control Advisory Committee. 1 would gladly have done so at the November meeting, unfortunately I was not notified that a meeting was being held. 1 am the SA representative to the committee. A letter of my appointment was sent to Robert E. Uunt, Chairman of the Traffic Controb Advisory Committee in June of this year. I would just like to suggest to the Chairman, that to increase attendance and therefore input at the meetings, he make a point of notifying every representative. I am anxiously awaiting the next more particularly General Education. The prominence you gave the General Education fonim sponsored by Vico College in your December 1, 1978 issue was fully commensurate with the importance of the subject, and it compensated in part for disappointing attendance of the event. I hope that the University can continue to count on what is the most dramatic evidence in years that the student press here can play a vital role in academic reform. 1 hope, further that you will not consider that it detracts from nty esteem for The Spectrum's new emphasis, if I correct a remark attributed to me by your reporters. I did not say “Universities should not be dedicated to industries as are our professional schools.” (The word “industries” or “industry” appeared nowhere in my remarks.) What I did say was altogether different, and here I quote directly from my prepared text: “The activities of the University, and especially of its undergraduate division, must be governed by truth and must communicate truth. It cannot become, as it nearly did in the late sixties, the instrument of propaganda, a mere training-ground for partisans. Neither should it now become the SA nursery of Commuter Affairs Coordinator consumerism. In its dedication to humanistic truth and knowledge jlies in its right to independence from all vested interest and private purpose, from political parties, from statism as well as clericalism, from the latest danger in my eyes, consumerism. The undergraduate division or college is governed by the same generic dedication to truth as the University as a whole, but it is differentiated from other parts of the system by a special and undiluted concern with these values. It is not dedicated, like the technical and professional schools, to the training of competent practitioners or professional men, or,, like the graduate school, to pure research social By and scholarship. commitment, it is dedicated to the development of mature human beings. That is what its diploma should mainly certify.” We all understand the difficulty a reporter faces in*summarizing orally delivered material under severe time constraints. I do not, therefore, offer these remarks as criticism, but rather as information to the University community, which might easily have seen in your version of my words an assualt on the professional schools, many of whose faculty and administrators I know to be highly responsive to the needs of General Education and humane studies on this campus.

College Dear Honorable Sir Since you have deemed it necessary to publish your opinion regarding the student demonstration of 3, November, 1978 upon the occasion of the Governor’s appearance at the SUNYAB Campus, a reply is both necessary and in order. Many hasty, careless and often times misinformed observations were conveyed. Such a situation of inaccuracy if allowed to persist would surely dp no good to either the University or the Community. It must be observed that the University has a commitment to the growth development and well being of the City. In the sense the University is a Laboratory of wide scope and range at the service of the City of Buffalo, and Western New York. Resurrecting irrational fears of the past in relation to a legal peaceful demonstration can only be construed as an insult to the University and its community. fact SUNYAB is the largest center of the State University System fact SUNYAB has undergone severe financial cut backs fact such cut backs- have created a situation where the North Campus will remain undiminished — — — for some time to come fact the situation of split campuses with inadequate facilities to serve 23,000 students has — caused much hardship commuting by inter-campus bus fact inadequately funded because of state cut backs often can take up to 45 minutes to cover a distance of 3 — miles. fact the Governor has seen fit to invest 17 million of state tax money to build at Syracuse University a private institution a domed stadiqm. Such money could have gone to where it belonged, public funding for public education. It is extremely contradictory for private institutions to be publicly funded. Such an appropriation to Syracuse University at a time of severe financial trouble for the State University System was indeed cynical and callous. It was for these reasons that a — demonstration was organized. Referring to the demonstration as a “mob scene” was quite reminiscent of King George III of Britian when he described the colonists revolt for Independence in 1776. Your view of how we ought to proceed reminds one of an old “Jim Crow” sheriff in the deep south accusing black people of being “uppity” when they demanded their constitutional guarantees. We students have petitioned, we have been ignored, we have pleaded, our entreaties have been ignored. When we exercised our recourse to assembly, we have been denounced as mob trouble makers. I cannot make many guarantees, but this I can As long as the first amendment promise: guaranteeing freedom of speech and assembly exists I for one and many other people are going to exercise that right in its fullest sense.

Please write to: Records, Diane Near, The New York State Consumer Protection Board at 99 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York 12210. Thank you for your cooperation. S. ® Diane Near Records: 33 rpms or $33 To the Editor days these when inflation In is the manufacturer’s continuous scapegoat to set record breaking profits it seems that only the consumer is being stiffed. Latest from the profit seeking money mongers is the increase in the cost of records. In case you haven’t noticed the list price of LP’s has jumped from $7.98 to $8.98 (just in time for the Christmas rush.) I find it hard to swallow that record companies have any reason to raise their prices. Don’t forget, we’re in a tjme where an album going gold is a thing of the past and noW “platinum is the word". More and more albums are making themselves at home in the no. 1 position on the charts for extended periods of time, and some albums even top the charts world-wide. With this large influx of funds 1 really can’t see these companies hard pressed for cash. 1 hate to let my paranoia run rampant and accuse the artists themselves of having a hand in the price increase (sine they receive a percentage on every album sold), but why not? Something has to explain why in 3 years records have increased $3. Obviously the record companies know that they have a market and will continue to abuse it. Can you see a day when records will be more expensive than say a good steak dinner, a movie with a date, or even a fill up at the gas station! Records use to be something wc buy, soon they may be something we have to save up for. For the record companies and the artists I can only say, "Don’t gnaw down to a stub, the hand that feeds you Andy Bentolak Clearing the dust on the dome To the Editor Now that the dust has settled concerning the Syracuse University dome issue, I would like to make a few of my own comments. I've waited until now because it no longer seems to be such an emotional issue. 1 believe writing this now enables people to think a little more rationally about the situation. The primary concern that was raised was, “Mow could the State allocate money to a private university when the Amherst campus remains incomplete?” At first glance this seems like a reasonable question, but only at first glance! I’ll be the first to admit that we need a new gym. (After all, who ever heard otf playing basketball at 10:30 p.m. on a Monday night? That’s when I have intramurals.) The is, this isn’t a fraction of the story. In the first place the money funded for the SU dome did not come out of SUNY funds. It came out of UDC (Urban Development Corporation) funds. “Why can’t UB get UDC funds?" Let me explain how the state budget works. The state legislature plans on how much money will be spent in each broad catagory (transportation, health care, SUNY, salaries, UDC. etc.). It is then decided how the money in each category will be allocated (for specific projects). For exatnple, with the SUNY funds they must decide how much money goes to each school. In a separate category is the UDC funding, which is broken up into how much money should be allocated to each project. To clarify this point, if UDC funds were not spent at Syracuse they would have been spent elsewhere, but not within the SUNY system; not at UB! Unfortunately we are not eligible for such funds. On the other hand, you can be assured that funds allocated to SUNY will not be used elsewhere. You may still say, “Hpw can the state give UDC funds to a private institution? Why not have it directly benefit the community?” The fact is, it does directly benefit the entire Syracuse community, from where many UB students come. Allow me to explain. The dome in Syracuse will better the economic development of the area, by not only providing work through construction and full time employment, but it will attract more companies to the Syracuse area. The dome together with a competitive football schedule will act as free advertising to perspective companies. This can be shown to be true. Kven if you don’t believe this, you must agree that having 50,000 people come into the city on a Saturday afternoon can do nothing but help the economy. And 50,000 will come out for a game because SU dt>es attract big name teams. This year SU’s schedule included Pittsburg, Maryland, Navy and the number one Penn State. Another point 1 would like to make is that Syracuse University will not by the only one to use the stadium. After all, there are only six home games during a football season. The stadium will also be used for community events. Concerts on the scale of “Summer Fest” (in Rich Stadium) can now be held, not only during the summer but the winter too! A covered stadium is a necessity in this climate. For a’ relatively small additional construction cost, the stadium would be useable approximately five more months per year. I think the Syracuse area along with the state ran into a really good deal here. Although the state is spending $15 million, SU must throw in another $ 11 million. In conclusion, you can’t really rant and rave about state allocations because everybody has their own priorities. Sometimes it’s necessary for assemblymen from Buffalo to O.K. funds to Syracuse because then Syracuse assemblymen will be willing to support Buffalo. It’s all give and take. There’s only so much money that can go around. More money should be allocated to SUNY. A lot of money is wasted in other areas. The money for the Syracuse dome was desperately needed and 1 believe a wise allocation. Ken Page The Kurtz misunderstanding To the Editor Someone has sent me a xerox of your Editorial of October 30, “Freedom of the Mind”, reporting an alleged call by the American Humanist Association for the dismissal of Paul Krutz as a philosophy professor. This is incredible. Until you come up with firm evidence that a member of the AHA Board took such action, I shall assume that you acted on rumor and were misinformed. 1 cannot conceive of any AHA Board Member doing such a thing, and as a member of the Board, know of no such action taken or even considered by the Board. Our issue with Dr. Kurtz was not one of editorial freedom or censorship, but that of financial control and responsibility for the magazine. With the move of the national office of AHA from San Francisco to Amherst, a merger of the two operations under one roof, the election of a new Publication Committee and the election of an editor was found necessary. There were two nominations for Editor. After three tie votes it was moved that an editor be elected for one year only, and that if Dr. Kurtz were not elected, he would fill the place on the Publication Committee vacated by the election of Lloyd Morain. Dr. Kurtz is still an elected member of the AHA Board. The article by Steve Bartz in the same issue of The Spectrum refers to the AHA as “an atheistic organization”. This is not strictly correct. It is non-theistic in its naturalistic humanism, but welcomes agnostics, atheists and others in sympathy with its program, as expressed in: Humanist Manifesto II, a consensus document of which, with Dr. Kurtz, I was co-editor. I have high regard for Dr. Kurtz’ abilities as an editor and author. Our issue with him was on the business end of the publication. There has been much misrepresentation and misunderstanding of the termiation of what Dr. Kurtz himself has called his ten-year “love-hate” relationship with the AHA. Edwin H.

Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F.

Fitzpatrick said th; from July 1 to October 30, over $1 1 million in awards money has bee received, a 21 percent increase over the corresponding period in 1977 According to Stout most research within the United States and UB is sponsored by agencies of the federal government, the most prominent being the National Institute of Health and the National Science Foundation, Other Government agencies sponsoring research include the Department of Energy, the Department of Transportation the Environmental Protection Agency and various branches of the military through the Department of Defense. Spurred by Sputnik When contacted by The Spectrum Fitzpatrick said that government sponsored research is a relatively recent development He attributed its rise to the technological demands of World War II and more directly to the successful launching of the U.S.S.R. Sputnik in 1957. The success of Sputnik shocked American officials who thought the launch to be several years away. As a result of this, he explained, initial research was “primarily hard science research”. Over the years, he added, there has been an increase in research in other areas, especially the Health Sciences. Fitzpatrick noted that the research.going on today is not much different than that of ten years ago citing “new advances in the humanities, urbanization, and energy” as major changes. The research productivity of UB’s faculty is difficult to assess Traditional standards, such as grant dollars and citation indexes I publications ranking specific departments nationally by the publicity they receive in print), are of little value according to Fitzpatrick. Stout explained that the dollar value of awards can be misleading since certain areas, such as Engineering and Medicine, usually secure larger awards than other fields. These disciplines require money for equipment as well as time, she said, while research in the humanities generally involves primarily time expenditures.

The election, supervised by' the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB), will end months of negotiations between incumbent representative United University Professions (UUP) and its challenger, the New York Educators Association (NYEA). Plagued by a constant stream of new developments, UUP and NYliA have, since May, remained locked in a struggle to represent, through contract negotiations, the academic and professional employees at this and other State University centers. Once both unions were officially recognized in the competitive race, the issue of setting a balloting date consumed weeks of time. While UUP pushed for a November date. President-elect of the chapter here. William Allen, maintains that an agreement was thwarted by NYEA’s resilient efforts against compromise. He said, “Once the challenge is situated, the incumbent agent cannot by law negotiate with the State. This means money out of UUP’s pockets.” Allen explained that UUP suffers a financial loss because an imposed freeze on negotiations halts the collection of union dues. NYPA objected to.

Primary aim Elkin also foresees a second performance space in a cabaret, which will present original short theater pieces, comedians, original student work and folk music. Theater at UB maintains two production bases. The Theater Department exists mainly for undergraduate education and productions. The Center for Theater Research exists mainly for fellowship, advanced training and production work. Elkin ranks the development of a graduate program as one of his primary aims. He explained, development of such a program is a three-step process. Initially, the program must be approved on this campus; secondly, the program must be approved in Albany; and finally, an outside evaluation team must evaluate the Department and its suitability. As of now, the first two steps have been approved, but the has Department yet not undergone an outside evaluation. If approved, a two year Master of Fine Arts program would be created. Not yet the Department Currently, compensates for the lack of a graduate program said Elkin. Each year’the Department selects a small group of graduated students to become fellows. Some are Masters of Arts and Humanities (MAH) with a concentration in and theater, some are aj;tists-in-residence: actors, designers, and directors, who perform in productions in the Center and sometimes teach. Productions at the Center, which will be staffed by fellows, undergraduates and members of the commmunity, will not commence for at least one year, due to a six month waiting period that must occur after outside approval. Presently, there are eighty majors and over 1,000 non-majors taking courses in theater and dance at this University. In eight years, the Department theater has enlarged the dance component, and Zodiaque, created the Women’s Theater Collective, while boosting the number of anndal productions to ten. In 1976, Elkin initiated Shakespeare in the Park, a summer program of outdoor theater. This year, over 20,000 people gathered to view the Delaware Park productions. the Elkin attributes productivity of the Department as a function of the energy and dedication of the faculty and small student body. “There is an enormous commitment on the part of a productive, energetic and ambitious staff,” he said. Students and faculty stress the contribution of Elkin to the growth of the Department, which they attribute to “his devotion and future vision.”' But faced with budget cuts in recent years and the prospect of further reductions, Elkin is concerned that the development of ARts and Letters is vulnerable. �m movies � W A antasia A Mickey Mouse cartoon Hocus pocus, * Screen Gems Magic Revenge of the Pink Panther � * Peter Sellers again shows that he can ions by mispronouncing French words.

"The failure to find work is driving more and more young blacks out of the active labor force into the ranks of the discouraged workers,” writes Esther Piovia, associate editor of the Urban League Review and Dr. Bernard Anderson, associate professor of industry at the of University School, Wharton Pennsylvania. “In 1976, for example, while an average of 345,000 black teenagers were officially counted as unemployed, another 368,000 wanted jobs but were no longer employment picture in much the same way as his black counter-parts. “The way to make new jobs is, first of all to create new jobs,” said Leo Estrada of the School of Architecture and Urban Planning at UCLA. “White workers must also give up jobs through retirement, attrition and disability. This then permits minorities to move into them. Without these possibilities, I think the conflicts are going to get worse,” Estrada said. Non-white teenagers, and particularly black youth, have already become the biggest losers in the menial, fast-food industry jobs.

Older, more “stable” persons are nov< being hired at the expense of the nation’s critically underemployed and unemployed black teenagers. One other index of black youth crisis has taken a dramatic and unprecedented upswing: the suicide rate for young black mem. The non-white paradox Robert Davies of Chicago’s “University of Poverty” points out in a report that two-thirds of all suicides during any given year are committed by white males, but among young men between the ages of 20-34, the black rate is actually higher than the white rate a disturbing trend in light of the traditionally low number of black suicides. Further, these young blacks (male and female) account for 47 percent of all black suicides, while making up only 24,2 percent of the black population. Once - again, the figures arrange themselves conveniently around the paradox of being young and non-white. Sarah Austin of the National Urban Coalition believes politicians can no longer ignore the plight of minority youth. ‘That’s what we mean when we talk about targeting,” she said. “We’re saying that funds should not be spread out across the board to everybody, because if we’re talking about a limited supply of money, you’ve got to really talk about targeting resources to where there’s the greatest need.” Back at the bus stop in Washington, the young man continued his soliloquy. “I know people older than me who’ve lived here all their lives and don’t know where the White House is, never been to the Capitol, and that’s just eight blocks away. Hell, I’m gonna get out of here though, if it’s just to Baltimore.

The paper also reported that Negron’s was the second suicide to occur at week, Attica that which Superintendent Smith denied, HEAR 0 ISRAEL For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 before refusing to talk further about the incident. The Attica prisoner’s letter was forwarded to The Spectrum by Newton Garver, professor of Philosophy and Chairman of the Faculty Senate here. “1 can vouch for the reality and sincerity of the man though not, of course, for what really happened,” he stated. Garver became acquainted with the inmate while attending regular Quaker meetings at the prison. “The sudden death of a fellow inmate, even one you have not known, is one of the scariest thing? that can happen, and one of the most infuriating,” Garver related. “It was 30 years ago that I was in prison (a Federal one, nothing like Attica), and 1 can still see the face of the Italian prisoner who died of a brain hemmorhage the day after the infirmary — refused to take his headache seriously and I can still feel the rage that swelled at that careless neglect,” he recalled. The State correctional Facility just outside of Attica, N.Y., was the site of a four-day siege in September, 1971, which brought forth undisclosed previously prison conditions such as poor health care, overcrowding, racism, disgusting food, and inadequate educational services. Over 1500 prisoners took over the D-block and yard, held guards hostage for protection, elected their own governing body, and put forward a petition demanding to be treated like humans. Thousands of armed National heavily Guardsmen, State Police, and corrections officers stormed the prison, killing 39 men, including 10 state guards. — �Cheerleader tryouts It’s still not too late to become a UB cheerleader for the 1978-79 basketball season.

Number one seeded Tom Jacoutot of Buffalo rolled through the early matches in defense of his RIT victory last year before meeting number two seeded Matt Hawes of Springfield College. Hawes, who breezed by the highly ranked Jim Abbott of Colgate, stopped the UB star by a close 6-4 margin in the 121 lbs, division. At 129 lbs., lid Tyrrell lost out for the Bulls to Jeff Woo of Ohio State in the quarterfinals. Tyrell, who finished third in last year’s tournament, had to settle for that spot again, knocking off Kevin Richard of Brockport.

Tim Rock, who lost an opening round decision to third seeded Steve Carr of Potsdam, took fourth place in the 180 lbs. section, losing to number-one seeded Mike Ciarmiello who took a disappointing third. Carr lost out in the championship round to Ohio’s Kent Bruggeman, who came into the tournament as only the fourth seed, Springfield’s Jeff Blatnick, who won last year’s Division 1J title and placed sixth in Division 1 held off a strong challenge by UB’s Paul Curka to capture the heavyweight title.

Not at all,” declared Rudolph Williams, Assistant Dean of Admissions for the Medical School at a public forum on the landmark court case Thursday. This assurance was heard by close to 100 attentive students who had filled the O’Brian Hall lecture hall to listen, to university scholars wrestle with the legal basis and practical implications of the Howard Mann Constitutional law professor —Buchanan Bakke ruling. The Supreme Court’s Bakke decision last June dealt with the broad question of the legality and limits of affirmative action and more specifically with one white man’s determination to enter the University of California at Davis medical school., despite prior rejection. The' court ruled that the Davis method of admitting minorities'was illegal but conceded , that there were legal methods of Affirmative Action. Four speakers at the Bakke panel discussion spoke from two major perspectives. Howard Mann, a Gonstititonal Law professor and Political Science professor Richard Cox detailed the legal and political significance of the decision; while Wiliams and Jesse Nash, Assistant Vice President for Affirmative Action, discussed the practical, day-to-day implications, especially as they relate to UB. Jacob Hyman, also a professor of constitutional law, served as moderator and set the tone of the discussion, saying he didn’t anticipate any “head-on confrontations.” No precedent Mann opened the discussion by blasting the Supreme Court for what he termed a decision with “no legal basis.” He repeatedly lambasted Justice Lewis F. Powell who wrote the majority decision, claiming that Powell simply declared “I’ll write the law!” Inside: TAP again—P. 5 / The commuter syndrome—Centerfold become a concluded. law because Powell says it,”, Mann Despite moderator Hyman’s forecast for no confrontations, he took issue with Mann’s remarks on the emptiness of the Bakke Opinions. Hyman insisted that the justices took into account the burden of proof and “five justices said that a medical school is not denied the right to consider race in admissions.” Academic reasons “I talk fast so listen fast, said Wiliams from UB Medical School whose brisk delivery made him the most entertaining admissions of the panelists. Spouting statistics from the past seven years, Williams defended the minority recruiting record of the medical school here., He said that 160 minority students had been admitted over this time period and only 7 were lost due to academic reasons “a tribute to our fine fauclty,” he said, and a better record than most medical schools. Williams attributed the poof minority figures for this year to new MCATS (med 6 out of 135 school admission tests), and a new admissions committee which ironically had more minorities than previous years. Jesse Nash, who spoke last, addressed a somewhat diminished crowd and attempted to explain the resistance to affirmative action programs, “when you attempt to make the irrational [institutionalized racism] rational, watch out,” Nash warned. When he first arrived on campus, Nash said a provost told him straight out; “Mr. Nash, you are a fool if you think you are going to replace qualified people with women and minorities.” Beneath it all, Nash claimed, is the sometimes - - - —continued on page 4— Rudolph WMimto Asst.

"The law doesn’t / Buying made cheap—P. 11 �ff t No vacancies Dorms close before semester exams end Special Features Editor “Students will not be left out in the cold.” accomodations the following day. If the dorms were to remain “open” for an additional day, Boyce feels, the Housing Office would run the risk of vandalism and theft in an otherwise empty dormitory. The Housing Office would be obligated to provide their service. So says Director of Housing Madison Boyce, after the Housing Office scheduled the closing of all University dormitories for the semester break on Saturday December 23 at noon, six hours No hassles before final exams end. The “We’re doing our best to be closing has prompted complaints to those people from dorm dwellers who have late sensitive exams. Boyce traced the untimely involved,” he said. “We don’t close to the “unfortunate want to create any hassles.” scheduling of examinations,” the Boyce explained he did not approaching Christmas holiday have an accurate picture detailing and the relatively small number of what count of how many students sleeping were affected. He said he is asking students requiring those students who must remain in to “talk to their Area Coordinator and explain their circumstances. Students who can show us a legitimate need to stay in the dorms Saturday night, will be given space. But such “space” is a lounge instead of a dormitory room. Inter-Residence Council (IRC) President Jim Paul who said he was unaware of the housing dilemma, until contacted by The Spectrum Friday, said “I’ll be working on it with Madison [Boyce] to accomodate students. We don’t know how many people are involved yet, but anyone faced with this problem should give the IRC office a call.” SA Director of Students Affairs Scott Jiusto said he is also pursuing a solution. Boyce said, ‘This is the first time that this has had an effect on us. I’ve been here since 1968 and in the past there have been no exams on the closing dby.” Christmas eve Christmas Eve may in fact be the villian. In order to keep the dorms open until the day after exams close, RA’s, maintenance workers and the housing staff would be required to stay until December 24, the day before Christmas. Is this year’s semester closing, a violation of the Housing Contract? Herb Roisman, Student Wide Defense Judiciary (SWJ) Council of Group Legal Services (GLS) said, “By definition, the University has held the last day of the semester to be 12:00 noon, the day after finals. A person having contracted for a room, not a lounge or mere place to stay for the semester with the University, has a right to expect that terms of the contract will be defined as they have in the past.” “If a party [housing] does not want the terms to take on the same meaning that they have in the past, then they must state the different meaning they wish to be applied. The University, knowing the academic calender, knew the consequences or should have known of the consequences of closing the dormitories on December 23 and should have changed the policy. Given all this, all contracts must be constructed strictly against the party drawing up the contracts.” What will be the outcome? “We’re not going to screw „ anyone,” Boyce said. " — .

A third distributed according to the discretion of each proposal calls for three and a half percent of the graduate department.

Heavy spending this semester will lead to scaled down concert programming, according to Sub Board officials. “The Committee spent money unwisely,” Volan said.

This was partially Sub Board’s fault for not monitoring UUAB’s expenses closely.” With only 20 percent of its total budget left and less than expected revenues, both Volan and Sub Board Chairman Jane Baum believe that the music committee is now in financial jeapordy. “However,” said Baum, “the effect on UUAB programming will be negligible because both UUAB and Sub Board will absorb the financial difficulties.” ,U } I: ,, Baum attributed the music committee’s financial plight to poor planning on Sub Board and UUAB’s part, a saturated concert market, and poor publicity planning. Executive Director of Sub Board Dennis Black concurred. He said, “The music committee hasn’t been as financially successful this year because Buffalo has a very competitive concert with a lot of promoters and too many concerts for people to afford. Also there is no major place to put on a show near the 2 3 j f S' o a 3 ? 5 co University.” Clark unprofitable According to Black, Clark Gym is too small and has too many to be profitable. “The costs of bands have reisen outrageously and teh 1300 to 1400 people that Clark tan hold is not enought to break even.” As a result, Black said, UUAB booked many concerts at Shea’s Theater in the city. Booking concerts downtown contributed to the problem of dwindling audiences. “Going downtown requires more planning and it’s an effort for people at Amherst to get there,” Black said. Despite what appears to be a very limiting budget, Black claimed that programming will not be jeopardized. Money has been allocated for a Spring Folk Festival in April and a separate funding has been set aside for summer programming. UUAB Division Director Kathy Evans maintained that music programming will not suffer. She said, “We will be fine financially next semester. We’ll be doing the same amount of programming bufnot on as large a scale.” The committee will organize smaller shows with less expensive bands. “Instead of doing several large shows,” Evans said, “we will do one large show and several smaller ones.We will find out the best of what we can afford through the help of talent agencies.” restraints —Smith Private colleges are left unaccountable for aid STEEL BARS DO-NOT A GREENHOUSE MAKE: Onpita construction delays and design foul-ups, the new Philip Dorshaimer Laboratory Greenhouse is slowly taking shape. The $700,000 structure will house plants for botany by Kathleen McDonough Campus Editor A report has accused the State of giving more direct aid to New York private colleges than all the other 49 states combined, while at the same time leaving these schools “totally unaccountable for the expenditure of state aid.” The report, prepared by the'Professional Staff Congress of the City University of New York (CUNY), charged that this direct aid benefits private schools at the expense of public institutions. Only six states in the nation provide direct aid to private colleges, the report said. New York almost doubles the next closest state, Pennsylvania, With direct aid of $66.6 million. The report also claims that, while the percentage of state aid increased by over 50 percent for the private sector in last five years, aid to SUNY and CUNY dropped by 7.3 percent. According to Governor Hugh L. Carey’s Education advisor Henrik Dullea, these percentages may be inaccurate. “I would like to see the figures they used-to arrive at those statistics,” he commented. However, Dullea said that private colleges are not accountable to the State. Each school is free to determine where its aid goes, he explained. Bundy aid, which was originally instituted ten years ago to enable students to afford higher tuition at private schools is reportedly abused by these schools. The report stated, “The private sector seems increasingly to be using Bundy aid to cushion the impact of its ever-increasing tuition levels.” Amherst Greenhouse hopes to flourish into a summer paradise - by Jens Rasch Staff Writer Spectrum Delayed by a state budge freeze, a design foul-up, and the two-year Amherst construction halt, UB’s new greenhouse, is expected to bloom and thrive by this summer. Located by Putnam Way on the Amherst Campus, the Philip Dorsheimer Laboratory Greenhouse is now but a skeleton. The $700,000 paradise will be connected to the plant Hockstetter-Cooke Biology towers by a hallway .The modern, well equipped facility will provide a degree of envirdnmental control not possible at the old Cary greenhouse,.completed in 1957. “Sometimes its hard to get parts for repairs because it’s so old,” said Ted Bieniek, greenhouse curator. The original cost of the structure was $75,000 with construction funds coming from a National Science Foundation grant. Funding woes TAP benefits The document, claims that Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) increases also benefits private schools. When TAP levels are raised, said the report, these schools raise their tuition; leaving the dollar gap between TAP and tuition unchanged. Assemblyman Melvin H. Miller, Chairman of the Committee of Higher Education, agreed that private colleges profit most from TAP. Since the tuition is higher at private schools, students from these schools are eligible for larger awards. The report also notes that approximately 23 percent of Bundy aid for 1976—1977 went to out of state students. Dullea responded that Bundy aid, unlike TAP, is awarded to schools as a whole rather than to individual students. Therefore, he explained, there is no mechanism to differentiate out of state students from New York State students. The report asserts that private institutions create apparent deficits by transfering funds from “educational expenditures to other accounts, such as endowment and plant funds.” Dullea said that these transfers are completely legitimate, and that there are probably valid budgetary reasons for any transfers made by the private colleges. J. Recently, there has been greater attention to the question of private versus public funding. “The fight between private and public colleges is going to be the war for the next five years,” Miller predicted. ’ .. . - reserach. With its own hasting system, hasting failures that destroyed all the plants in the present greenhouse near Cary Hall five times in the last sight years should be avoided. Despite the present greenhouse’s spacious quarters, there are mnay inconveniences. A lack of facilities, inaccessibility to classrooms, a constant draft and an antiquated heating system are a few of its drawbacks. “During the winter I have to move the plants back a few feet from the greenhouse storage walls,” stated Bieniek. “Otherwise the cold will affect the plants.” The Amherst Campus greenhouse will have its own heating system. The old greenhouse was heated by UB’s central Heating Plant. “We had five heat failures in the past eight years and all the plants were wiped out each time,” stated Bieniek. This type of disaster will hopefully be avoided with the new facility. . Funding for equipment and construction at the new facility has seen many problems. The intial equipment budget of $135,000, which is in addition to the $700,000 construction cost has been imposed with a 25 percent freeze by jthe State Division of the Budget (DOB). The reasons behind the freeze can be traced to 1973 when DOB requested an equipment inventory from all divisions —contlputd on paga 14— �} California: events become myths,people pay price by Ran Gustaitis Pacific Newt Serrice I - s An Eastern newspaper editor, still sick with images of corpses, was prepared with a quip wjien he heard that San Francisco’s mayor and homosexual supervisor had just been guuned down. “California, land of fruits and nuts,” he said. But no matter how convenient it might be to laugh off the eruptions here as distant tales from the land of loonies, California signals America. For here, again and again, the cultural myth has met its test. And all the cliches and jokes will not change the fact that this, more than any other place in the country, is the terrain of possibility. It is the place where people have the greatest freedom to try. “California is taking it on the chin now for all those Americans who come from all over to enact their fantasies. The first thing they hear when they arrive is the permission. You are free to be what yon are,” said poet Bob Callahan. For him, that sense of permission opened doors toward artistic fulfillment. But, “if you give a climate of total permission, you get a margin of violence,” he observed. “Some of the fantasies were sick before they got here. We get the walking wounded from the rest of the country. “The dream was always to the West,” Callahan mused. “It started with Europeans moving west out of the Caucasus in search of minerals. Then they came here for gold. There is this westerning thing. And then, when you finally get here there is that kick-back when you realize the whole thing was bullshit because the world is round. Here you have, to learn that or go to the stars. You must have frontier intelligence.” Historically, intelligence frontier PHOTOCOPYING - here took a startlingly different-form than in places settled by the Puritans. Many of California’s European ancestors were robber barons, outlaws, adventurers,' elegant prostitutes. Their descendants built universities and museums but'their memory is cherished because they were outrageous, defying tradition and mocking institutional power. The indigenous people they extinguished were diverse 17 languages in the Mt. Shasta region alone and they were peaceful. They inhabited places where food was plentiful, the climate benign, and they seemed to have little contact with one another. That native legacy was carried on by 9th century Utopians who built settlements on visions of harmony, by factory-weary immigrant garment workers who came from Eastern cities to raise chickens while pursuing scholarly or artistic inclinations; by more recent back-to-the-land - — pioneers. But the legacy of the outlaw frontiersmen has been far symbolized by mammoth works that more assertive rivers and refuse to recognize the power of deserts. confine — That legacy has made politics volatile, dramatic, to popular unpredictable and usually responsive sentiments. It lives on as a tradition for taking matters into one's own hands. University students did it here with the Free Speech Movement, then with student strikes that set off others across the country. Citizens do it regularly by passing initiatives that compel their legislature to abide by their will. During the height of environmental concern the initiative process brought the strongest coastal protection plan in the nation. Last June, it led to the passage of the niost extreme property tax cut, which set off a national rush for the tame. 8c per copy The 356 Squire Hall This fall, that process put pn the books the nation’s most extreme and complex death penalty law and prompted over a million people to vote for a bill that would have launched a witch hunt against homosexuals in public schools.

Without this agreement, the majority establishment will demand: “I want all 100 spaces, 1 want it all!” Nash asserted. Williams stressed his belief that the Bakke case was a poor case to go to court and questioned whether the University of California really expected to win. Despite vibrant but disjointed delivery, Williams retained audience attention. He expressed bewilderment over the furor about setting aside a number of spaces for medical school admissions. Williams mused that preferential treatment for admissions has always been the norm and did not begin with affirmative action. “Each year at graduation I listen to the hypocratic oath which says that we must educate the sons and daughters of physicians first,” Williams said, adding that at many medical schools “five openings are kept in an Admissions Dean's pocket in case donations are needed.” He theorized that there were likely whites admitted to Davis with lower MCATs and GPAs than Allan Bakke. * ION 102 INI TO INTERNATIONAL POLITICS An introduction to contemporary and historical relations, with emphasis on nationalism, imperialism, power, diplomacy, and ideological conflict Dr. MeUser MWF 10 10:50 ■ a V* ' ICW 376 MIDDLE EASTERN SOCI (8»m» m Soc. 370 R» No. - —continued from page 1— ...

The recipient, Linda Wagner of the University’s public radio station, will develop her skills as a reporter/producer in the field of economics The grant is part of a CPB program designed to integrate women into the broadcasting field. It will cover half of Wagner’s full-time salary until November 1979; the remainder will be paid to the.station. Marvin Granger, general manager of WBFO-FM, said the grants are aimed specifically at women in an effort to encourage their involvement in broadcasting, a field with a poor national ratio of women to men. The CPB is an independent Federal agency whose purpose is to promote public radio. WBFO is one of 212 stations in the US licensed by the agency, and is therefore eligible for Federal funding of a portion of their opearting budget. Wagner is one of 32 U.S. women to receive this year’s awards. Wagner’s award nomination by the station was based on her program project, a series entitled “Dollars and Change in Western New York”. The radio program will run once a week, beginning in January, she explained, and will be directed toward the person with little economic background. Wagner’s series will focus on local business issues as well as examining the operation of selected area business concerns. “In an economically depressed area such as Western New York,” Wagner noted, “a program of this type can provide a forum for both business and the consumer to express their ideas and prospectives.” The project will draw on members of UB’s Economics and Management Departments, for support, as well as people from all levels of the business community, she said. Charges exchanged in Cukan resignation vCharges and counter-charges of misuse of power, incompetence, sexism, and irresponsibility in programming continued despite the November 7 resignation of Alexandra Cukan as Chairperson of the Faculty Student Association (FSA). “She failed to take a leadership stand in the organization,” said former Student Association (SA) President Richard Mott, who originally asked for Cukan’s resignation. Cukan counter-charged, “They’re into who controls the corporation,” adding that “It all came down to a question of style. I wanted to do my homework fend then implement. We can’t do it all in one month.” Cukan resigned on Novebmer 7 after the SA President-elect Karl Schwartz informed that he would seek her removal if she did not step down on her own. This was the culmination of months of open warfare betwern Mott, Schartz and Cukan. According to Cukan, conflicts between SA leadership and Cukan began in June over candidate selection for the FSA treasury position. She said both Mott and Schwartz were exerting pressure on her to "appoint Bill Finkelstcin, current Business Manager of The Spectrum to a the position. i' Cukan related that after interviewing Finkelstcin for the job on June 8, she decided against the move. The sitqation, she said, carte to a" head-on June 20 at a meeting between-Mott, Schwartz and herself which she threatened to resign if Finkelstcin was made treasurer.

This leaves 8.5 percent, or approximately 35,000 students awaiting certificates. According to Moore, no figures for UB students were readily available.

I to Follet College Stores, Inc. There ought to be a careful examination of all options before any move is made; and the student delegation should be politely skeptical of Treasurer Len Synder's plans to plow the money back into the corporation's bureaucracy a bureaucracy that has burdened the University with high prices and inconvenient service for years. Many FSAs at campuses across the nation provide activity programming and other tangential benefits in addition to basic services. There is no fundamental reason why ours cannot attempt the same. We are certainly not in a position to recommend specifically what should be done with the money. But, given the history of FSA service and the performance record of its management, we can confidently say that students have not gotten the most for their money. It is with this in mind that the Board of Directors should contemplate their decision. For, although $550,000 can go a long way with some imagination and expertise, it can just as easily be devoured by the folks who brought us the 75-cent cheeseburger. — Poor UUAB judgement The Music Committee of University Union Activities Board (UUAB) has shown alarmingly poor judgement in spending 80 percent of its budget for the entire year. This semester's concerts have eaten up about $70,000 of the $86,000 budget unwise by anyone's standards. All Sub Board I administrative officials including, ultimately. Chairman Jane Baum have the responsibility to keep a closer eye on the various divisions to insure that unbalanced spending is caught and corrected early. Concert programming is undoubtedly a competitive and risky business in Buffalo, but UUAB and Sub Board officials were aware of this before the semester began. We hope that concert programming will not suffer dramatically next semester with the Music Committee forced to work with considerably less cash. The Spectrum has incorrectly identified me as co-chairperson of the University of Buffalo Rights of Conscience Group.

The comments and general reaction of the public will be reported to not be open at this time. (Bring your sleeping bag.)

Being an avid tennis player, I find it distressing that there are only 14 outdoor courts and four indoor courts in the Bubble on the Amherst Campus. Because the Ellicott Complex houses approximately 4S00 people, there is obviously a lack of tennis courts to satisfy the needs of the students. With the coming of winter, the realization that I might be forced to rally on the outdoor courts in deep snow drifts because the Bubble would be filled to capacity seems horrifying. Of course, there is an additional problem. The courts are only open I realize that it is not an easy task to arrange a final exam schedule that is perfect to every student, but how could the school possibly schedule a final exam Saturday from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. when the dorms close at 12 noon the same day? Why should I have to impose on a friend and stay over their house? Why should 1 have to drive home all night to arrive at about 3:30 a.m.? If simple logic was sued, the dorms wouldn’t be closed til the morning after the last final. Why then are the dorms closing Saturday morning, and not Sunday morning, if the last final exams are Saturday evening? Jonathan M. Rosenberg Richmond Quod Resident Are we to believe? Monday, Wednesday and Sunday after S:30 p.m. and you must reserve a court trto nights in advance. By the time the momentous evening rolls around you probably no longer have any desire to play, or you are just too lazy to drag your body to the Bubble. One of the reasons for the few hours devoted to tennis players is due to the basketball leagues that occupy the courts. Perhaps if three or four bubbles were erected on a plot of barren ground on the Amherst Campus, many more poeple would have an opportunity to enjoy the game. There must be a remedy to this situation. Lauren Lowenthal To the Editor. Are we to believe that every black man brought up on a rape charge of a white woman is undeniably innocent and a victim of vast racial conspiracy to frame black men on charges of rape against white women?

The other day 1 had a wallet lifted from the department where 1 am employed in Squire Hall. It had never really occurred to me to be paranoid of such an event taking place, since the atmosphere suggests security, trust, and has relatively low traffic flow. Unfortunately, as much as I’d prefer not to worry, and have my illusion as reality, it happened nonetheless and served to quickly enlighten me on the surreptitousness of crime. I’m not terribly thrilled, obviously, with the reality of this thievery, but I find it worse still to lift from an imporverished person a pitiful eight bucks, an ID and receipts insignificant to anyone else. To top this off by chucking the wallet in a toilet, is truly disgusting. So, I am writing this letter for two reasons: First, to (hopefully) increase the awareness of others who may have had the same misimpression about the University environment as I. Secondly, I’d like to express sincere gratitude and appreciation to staff members of University Security, Squire administration and maintenance for their prompt attention, concern and superb competency in handling this matter. The support provided by these members was, and is, very Marijuana: the new legislation I am writing The Spectrum concerning the media push in the Buffalo area for the repeal of the , marjjuana decriminalization-law in New York. The major parties behind the push are Erie County Sheriff, Kenneth Bruan, Dr. Earnest Shapiro and the Western New York Principals Associaion. They are endangering the new legislation; advocating repeal of the new marijuna laws. The principals complain that students are not learning and are disinterested because they are under the "influence.” The principals seem to ignore the fact that marijuana was used before passage of the new laws. They ignore the fact that the new laws were enacted to protect people (students included) from gung-ho law officers like Mr. Braun who risked people’s careers and tied up the judicial system for meaningless one joint busts. The principals are using the new legislation as a lightening rod for their own adminstrative failure. Course material is old and outdated, teachers are not mentioned for insensitivity and incompetence. Dr. Shapiro has publicly advocated use of the herbicide paraquat which is a confirmed health hazard. I question Dr. Shapiro’s intelligence on this issue. I wish to take a position completely opposite of I propose that New York legalize home (indoor) cultivation and personal use as the state of Alaska has done, for the following the above mentioned. reasons: ' Inflation Colombia is currently the number two source of U.S. dollar outflow. Only the OPEC nations rank higher. Passage of legislation similar to Alaska’s will put a large dent in U.S. cash outflow which wai result in a' boost in dollar valuation. (It would also remove large amounts of cash from organized criminals hs a result of black market marijuana.) The money spent by pot smokers to buy 1) would be used in local economies. Inflation would increase from more spending but the dollar drain reduction would more than cancel the effect therefore reducing inflation, revitalizing local business and also create new jobs. Government spending would be reduced requiring less police and more efficient usage of detectives to fight serious crime. Money afould not move to spent on paraquat and other similar programs. The resulting saving would help our budget deficit and strengthen the U.S. dollar even more. Parents would be given 2) Parental Control responsibility for their children’s pot smoking, it won’t be as simple for children to buy from dealers because dealing won’t be as profitable therefore reducing the number of dealers. Parents simply have to forbid cultivation in their homes. More mature people will be 3) Mature Users able to grow it and use it without fear of legal penalties for home usage. This would improve public sentiment toward the government among adult pot smokers who resent government over-regulation. People will not have to fear 4) No Paraquat deing poisoned or having permanent lung damage from this hideous herbicide. The dangers would be eliminated from agencies such as the DEA. Note the U.S. is proposing sparying in Colombia. 5) Mexican Relief The Mexican government is currently faced with the problems of internal corruption and as they seem to indicate a potential peasant civil war. They cite U.S. dollars from marijuana as the reasons for this. Legislation would reduce the Mexican problem. What I have proposed will not solve “other drug problems.” It is also far from a perfect solution fo;the immature pot smokers problem but I do believe that it is the best available solution. pot To the Editor. - - - - - Bill O'Brien comforting.

An atmosphere of defensiveness is created when condescending remarks ridiculing Buffalo are heard from dorm students . . . The commuter syndrome afflicts 57 undergraduates. of UB's percent Characterized by living at home, these students suffer from inaccessibility to the campus, poor parking facilities, parental pressures, and a disproportionately small budget. The symptoms include alienation, delusions of persecution by dorm studetns, and stereotypes associated with Buffalo. Perennial gripes which typify commuters are far from unfounded. After one year of red tape, lockers are finally being installed for commuters on the Amherst Campus. With a Commuter Council budget less than one and one-quarter percent of the over $800,000 collected from Student Mandatory for a group representing almost 60 percent of the undergrad population,- it is no wonder commuters feel alienated from the University. Seemingly mundane things such as parking spaces are important, even critical, when a student is late for a class. "UB doesn't want to 'see itself as a commuter school, so the administration doesn't care about such things," declares Commuter Affairs coordinator Christine Weckerle. critical, when a student is late for a class . . . Transportation from home to campus poses like obvious obstacles when not available when the family car is gone or the buses aren't running. These factors all limit the ability of commuters to get involved in perhaps the campus activities and events most noticeable characteristic of this diverse group. — — Ridiculing Buffalo Beneath the superficial problems lies the psychological stigma with which commuters are faced. “When some dorm students find out I'm a commuter," noted Weckerle, "they gape at me and say 'How could anybody live in Buffalo?"' An atmosphere of defensiveness is created when condescending remarks ridiculing Buffalo are heard' - from dorm students. "One guy fro'm New York City was on a tour bus with me," Weckerle recalled. "He saw the Albright Knox Art Gallery and said, 'Oh, the art gallery. I wouldn't waste my time there.'

Stereotypes play a strong role in the continuation of the stigma. Former Director of Student Affairs (SA) and commuter Lori Pasternak explained, "Dorm students come here with preconceived notions about Buffalo. And they're wrong." Commuters must also cope with living at home, implying various-stereotypes in itself of being "tied to the apron strings." All of the commuters interviewed expressed a desire, even an envy, of the freedom experienced by those not living under their parents' roofs. "Parents expect from you what you gave them in high school," Weckerle elaborated. "It's hard for some parents to accept that their child is in college now." foreign and do boring things," McNerney reasoned. "They look down at us. But then, why should they have much respect for a group that doesn't stand up for its rights? found at home. "Economic neccessity may require a student to stay home," said Weckerle. "Does that mean the University can't offer them something in return? You don't have to live in the dorms to get the ‘Parents expect from you what you gave them' in high school It's hard for them 'University experience'," she added. "Definitely the biggest problem with commuters is the commuters themselves," declared Eileen Mohr, a commuter here. "They just won't get involved and there's only so much the Commuter Council can do." "The people with the biggest mouths get the jnoney." Another commuter stated, "Unfortunately, the people in the Commuter . . . * to accept that their child is in college now ’ Just like most groups, we get the reputation we deserve." All but one commuter interviewed said that if they could change the attitudes of any group on campus, it would be that of the commuters. Growing up fast The proverbial umbilical cord can be seen as an obstacle to obtaining maturity and Little push independence, but DUE advisor Bernadette Members of area commuter councils met Hawkins, who specializes in commuter at Buffalo State College recently to discuss advisement, disagrees. "The pace may be what can be done to inspire commuters to different, but you grow up fast when you become active participants in the university have to cope with a situation you're not used experience. It was decided that a sizeable to," she maintained, referring to the percentage of commuters just do not want to transportation problems of the commuters. get involved. Home life, friends from high Positive attitudes are essential in this school, part or full time jobs may offer more process, claimed Weckerle. "It's a challenge to an individual than what the'university can. to develop on your own, taking things at However, some students just need that little your own pace," she enthused, "instead of in push or something unique that can't be the dorms where it's thrown at you and you ne ike ises the might fail miserably. I feel proud," she beamed. Positive attitudes are actually essential for alleviating any of the problems facing commuters, yet this seems to be what is most lacking in commuter relations with the administration, dorm students, and with other commuters. Noting the general emphasis UB places on its non-commuting Cheryl McNerney, students, former Commuter Affairs coordinator lamented, "UB wants to appear cosmopolitan. I wish I had gone to a college-type college and not to a university." in the the ters ind hey live less irks m as led. and iste aed Commuters lazy? A mutual misunderstanding seems to have arisen between dorm students and commuters. "1 know a lot of commuters that don't like dorm students," said one commuter. "There's a large majority of New Yorkers, but I don't hold that against them," she added, "but let's face it, they are different." On the other hand, one dorm student from Long Island condemned commuters for their own plight. "Commuters are said lazy," she unequivocally. "They deserve to be where they are." This is exactly how most commuters feel about their fellow commuters. "Dorm students probably think we're hick and Coucil don't have that." Frustration is also apparent in dealings with the Student Association. Commuter Council tries to get money for events that will atract commuters, but SA won't allocate it because not enough commuters attend these functions. According to the Council, there are not enough events to keep the commuters on campus. "It's a vicious circle," noted Mohr, There are, contrary to popular belief, commuting. Random answers included, "My mother's good cooking," "stability and security", "less peer "privacy", "Quiet!" and pressure", particularly, "I miss the freedom I could get in the dorms," then continued with a laugh, "but it's probably a good thing 1 can't run wild." positive aspects of Home life, friends from high school, part or full time jobs . . . may offer more to an individual than what the university can . . . �I o Wanted: engineering graduates •» Student advisors meeting General recruitment for Peer Ad virement will begin today.

The annual event featured two of the top women’s bowling teams in the nation: UB ranked fourth, and Erie Community College (ECC) rated sixth. The standings were established by Jhe Bowling Writers Association as a pre-season estimate. Buffalo coach Jane Poland used the tournament to determine her top six bowlers by dividing her squad into two number one Royals team finished the evening in first place. The number two Royal's came in a little behind, finishing fotirth. The Tigers of Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) came the closest to the Royals, finishing only S3 pins behind.

Dry lanes cited One surprise for the Royals was the disappointing total of co-captain Cindy Coburn, who hit for a 660 scries. Poland offered an explanation' as to why Coburn under bowled. “Cindy has a hook, and anyone with a hook has problems with the lanes as they dry out,” she noted. “It’s so hot in here that the lanes dry out and the ball hooks beyond belief.” Poland said. UB’s number two team’s scores were Sharon Ruszczyk, 657-199; Mary Anne Buboltz, 619-175; Patty Wheelock, 612-183; Barb Schwind, 513-163; Sharon Oliver, 338-182 and Barb Price, 258-138 (the last two bowlers played two games each. Second place RIT’s leading scorers were Elyse Waldingcr, 670-179; Debbi Statt, 649-211 and Loni Bergland 646-169.

Outstanding? Superb? Maybe, but not for the Bulls. s hockey team, after losting 6—5 to Oswego State in overtime Friday thought the game had been simply disappointing. Barely a half-minute into the tie breaker, the Great Lakers’ Rick UB Pratt completed his hat trick, scoring the deciding goal from 10 feet out. The tally came during a power play advanatge, brought about by Buffalo s Tim Igo s holding penalty, one which the sophomore center argued, in vain. “The ref blew it,” Igo said later. “I just had one arm extended in front of him, the way 1 usually do.” Coach Ed Wright expressed a similar opinion. “In a tight game like that, going down to the wire, then you see all the slashing, and all the high sticking, and all the brutal things that are going on out there,” he said, “to have the nerve to call a holding penalty? No way! That is bush league refereeing.” But he wouldn’t blame the loss on the officiating. “If we’d played the type of game we are capable of playing, we wouldn’t have been in the position to take a ridiculous penalty at a bad time in the game,” Wright admitted. The game s third star, UB’s Keith Sawyer, concurred with his coach. It wasn t the style of game we like to play. We were running too much, we were all over the ice,” he said. The dejected right winger could offer no explanation for certain mistakes. “We’d have three guys on one side, and all of a sudden the puck would roll to the other side, and they’d have an easy break out,” he explained. “We’ve worked on it a lot controlling the game breaking out but it was just a letdown. Our hearts weren’t in it at the end.” - - Through the mesh Even so, Lady Luck seemed to smile on the Bulls all through the contest, especially on two crucial occasions. In the second period, with Oswego holding a 3-2 margin, the Lakers’ Rob Graf fired a bullet bv UB goalie Tim Curry, apparently a goal. But the puck evidently penetrated the twine and went through behind the net. Whatever, after lengthy examination of the net, officials ignored the shot as a “no play.” The referee’s gestures hinted that the puck must have hit the side of the net, but he couldn’t convince the dismayed Oswego players. Trying to kill the power play that eventually cost them the game, the Bulls’ Tom Wilde failed to convert into a score the last remnant of good fortune alloted to a team. Desperately working to preserve the 5-5 tie with only seconds remaining in the third stanza, Wilde found the puck at center ice and with no one blocking his way to the Oswego goalie,'"hurriedly advanced toward a sure game winner. But Mike Shelvin, the Laker goaltender, refused to surrender and stopped the left winger’s late shot. The aggressively played confrontation was close from beginning to end, as neither team could gain $bre than a one goal advantage. UB jumped into the lead with a score at 3:7 of the opening period captain Ed Patterson converting on a perfect feed trom line mate Wilde, who passed the puck between two defensemen to earn himself an assist. But Oswego responded promptly, first on a power play rebound at 8:44 (Pratt’s first tally), and then again at 11:54, when Graf, stationed in front of the UB net, received a pass from a group of players struggling for control behind the net. Graf merely lifted the puck over a stunned and defenseless Curry. igo’s breakaway goal at 13:21 evened the score at 2-2 for Buffalo. To reach the Laker net, he had to go around defenseman Art Federow, but he didn’t think much of it, “Sawyer dumped it up and took the man out of the play. All I did was pick Op the puck, and there was only one guy to beat. He wasn’t much of a skater; 1 went around him, and the goalie gave me his legs, so i slipped in the backhand,” related Igo. — , Back and forth After 20 minutes of missed defensive assignments on the part of both teams, the second period was dominated by close, physical play. Midway through, after Oswego had grabbed a 3—2 lead, a brawl erupted in front of the UB net. The motive was Pete Dombrowski and Paul Marduzzo’s shoving match with Laker captain Kevin Flynn. In all, four players (two from each squad) were penalized, leaving the teams with a three-on-three situation. At 15:36 Narduzzo got the tying point, a breakaway that eluded Shelvin to bag the right winger his first goal of the season. It was followed 15 seconds later by a 20-foot slap shot from Sawyer that put UB ahead, 4—3, until the third period. A fluke goal evened the score again. With the Bull*’ Dan Gemmer and the Lakers’ Peter Herd fighting for the puck to Curry’s left. Herd managed to get a shot off. The puck deflected in off Curry’s skate-40 tie the game at :3. Not quite 90 seconds later, Pratt flipped in a rebound to give Oswego a temporary 5—4 advantage. ‘ -■ --i However, Wilde performed another ‘■‘pass between the defensemen” trick, this time to Briai»Grow, who at 13:18 brought UB to 5—5. In the remainder of the period, Oswego swarmed the Buffalo net, but Curry’s magnificent saves denied the Lakers a score, prompting the corwd of 1123 to cheer, “Timmy! Timmy!” ' \ <•- CLOSE.

However, the cost in manpower to keep the inventory up to date was considered too great by SUNY, and the inventory work halted, he related. As a result of the non-compliance with DOB’s inventory demands, the 25 percent freeze was imposed on all new construction on SUNY campuses, Johnson said. Every new building under construction on over 60 SUNY campuses has been affected by the freeze, he noted. Other advantages include automatic venting, heating and humidity control, more laboratory space, and a classroom. “Sometimes a professor wants a plant for demonstration purposes in a class,” said Bieniek, “but the exposure it gets from leaving the greenhouse can traumatize it.” The adjacent classroom will help overcome this problem.

Build a new union The Spcci^UM 355 Squire Hall Secretary Ruben Lopez expressed his interest in allocating a portion of the money to build a student union on the Amherst Campus. Lopez said, “I would like to see if money could be matched with the UB foundation for this purpose.” No other Board members offered specific proposals on how they felt the money should be spent, although one source suggested many creative alternatives were being considered. In other business, the Board also tabled a motion to sell a 25-acre of land to a buyer interested in constructing a single-family dwelling. FSA’s real estate broker, W.D. Hassett Inc., recently found the buyer who was interested in paying $15000 per acre the same price that FSA paid for the land over 14 years ago. A comprehensive study of the land, which is four miles from the Amherst Campus, was presented to FSA at its last meeting. The Land Use Report, conducted by students in the School of Architecture, stated “There was not strong residential marketability for the weed-filled, wet land. However, the study also claimed that there is still a possibilty of developing the land into a credit-bearing facility, according to Darcy. This would make the land a longstanding tax burden for the corporation tax exempt.

Vice President for Finance and Management Edward W. Doty said, “The land has long been an albatross.” Doty, who claimed this offer was an opportunity to recover some of the losses incurred noted, “The buyer may not stay around forever. An initial sale of the land would show a little bit of progress (to interested buyers).” Although all Board members agreed that the original purchase was a poor investment, the majority of the Board felt it should consider the effects that selling the 25-acre Northeast parcel could have on the overall value of the other 400 plus acres. In addition, many Board members felt that re-investment in the land should be reconsidered and the Land Use Report should be re-evaluated before decisions are made. Board member Sean Egan said, “I agree it doesn't look professional, (asking the broker to find a buyer and then FSA deciding to postpone its decision to sell) but we have a tremendous opportunity.” Student Association (SA) President Karl Schwartz remarked, “I thinlt backing away and getting a new perspective is a very wise decision.” Doty, . a long-standing Board member, stressed that “the perspective of time” casts doubts on the Board’s interest in selling the land. He said, “I don’t know If we’re discharging out fudiciary responsibility by being cautious."

Presiding over the meeting were: (left to right! Edward Hyde, Administrative Vice President; Joyce Pinn, President; and Zenebe Kifte, Vice President for Student Affairs. tve study on differential stipend scales will be undertaken, the President responded: “Those departments seeking an increase will have to come in with the data to justify it.” GSA President Joyce Pinn saw improvement in Ketter’s responses. "I think he addressed the issues, Finn said, noting that the President seemed less evasive in his replies. ‘Of course, 1 wasn’t happy with the answers University must be dedicated to General Ed, says Peradotto by Elena Cacavas undergraduate education at this University mast be combatted by General Education.” and Mark Meltzer - “There is no institution in our. culture except the University, especially its undergraduate sector, which is dedicated to ,the extension, development, preservation and communication of the humane studies,” said Dean of Undergraduate Education John* Peradotto in an open forum on General Education Wednesday. Speaking not as a representative of his Faculty, but rather as a University administrator, Peradotto joined two other Faculty Deans, a representative from Social Sciences and Student Association President Karl Schwartz in the Kiva at Baldy Hall. Although the meeting was widely publicized by its sponsor, Vico College, only about 50 people attended. While the majority of the lecturers addressed the broad concept of General Education, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Letters George Levine focused his comments on the situation at UB. All speakers recognized the need lev a •university to produce well-rounded individuals the basic'concepfof General Education. However, several toward approaches different implementation of such a program were offered. “The student has to be introduced to things that are imposed upon him,” said Edward Katkin of Social Sciences. Students are then forced to select options and allowed to make knowledgeable choices, he added. Because of the size and complexity of the University. Peradotto said, the implementation of limiting the “pure model” of General Education the number of specialized courses and organizing their relationship to one another is “impossible.” Utopian program “The minimally acceptable program for UB,” Peradotto advised, “is a system of prescribed distribution requirements paralleled to a small tightly-knilA'ore program." He stressed that such a system would not meet his own standards, yet felt that quick implementation was necessary. In his presentation, Levine discredited this University, among others. Tor “having acquiesced to the narrows of .-economy." Levine added. “Education is characterized by the abandonment of the Humanities by many undergraduates in search of courses with career benefits.” „ — Flexible program Paul Reitan, Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics took the polar viewpoint. Reitan advocated a flexible program emphasizing depth of knowledge rather than arbitrarily thrusting students into a strict core curriculum. “I am not interested in a uniform set of requirements intended at the end of four years to produce students who look and sound alike,” Reitan said. Despite funding problems and faculty line depletions which are currently choking the emphasized Peradotto their Humaniffcs. importance. '“Th'e success of General Education here hinges on the Humanities,” he declared. Attacking specialization, Peradotto commented, “Universities should not be dedicated to industries, as are our professional schools. The general uninformed choice which characterizes Inside: Mexican torture—P. 4 / Levine stressed that the General Education program should include individual development of a student’s .study program with the guidance of a faculty advisor. Katkin attacked Levine's idea as , “utopian.” He said. “Levine’s plan requires a faculty constituency in the University that is willing to give individual consultations.” Conflict of direction (Catkin called UB “a research production center,” indicating that professors are rewarded on the extent of (heir research. Schwartz cited good teachers, who respect students’ knowledge, as essential to a sound General Education program. “The outcome in a course professors who embody these with characteristics is students who are able to integrate courses and social phenomena,” he said. Schwartz pointed to what he perceived as a conflict between the proposals set forth in the Academic Plan of Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn and the goals of General Education. The Academic Plan, as suggested by Bunn, allocates funds on the basis of student enrollment, which is currently weighted towards the professional schools. General Education, however, advocates “leading the students and bringing direction to the academic experience,” Schwartz said. Mandatory Finn said she was “extremely encouraged” by the senators’ well-informed questions to Ketter, "I do think he is extremely skilled in answering questions," she observed, "extremely skilled.” One of the more lively encounters of the evening saw Michael Sartisky, a doctoral student in Knglish and a former member of the C.SA Kxeeutive Committee press Ketter on his unwillingness to recognize a union of graduate employees. Sartisky reasoned that a graduate student union would negotiate directly with the state and thus free Ketter from the burden of battling the Division of Budget on stipend levels, among other things. Back to the Governor “I am curious why you would not grasp in desperation, if nothing else, at an idea that would very much eliminate one of your primary problems,” Sartisky asserted. "We have a fundamental disagreement,” Ketter answered. “I believe the consequences |of a grad student union) would be overwhelmingly negative." As an example, Ketter claimed that the Governor's office would be handed the decision on what portion of courses must he taught by the faculty union as opposed to the graduate student union. At this point. R, Nagarajan, GSA President during the “no confidence" vote last year, rose to observe that the President’s replies do not appear to spring from an attitude that change is possible. "Rather than trying to solve the- problems,” Nagaraian said in his ten-minute statement, "your answers strengthen the existing situation in some sense." Pinn, in an interview after, agreed with the substance of her predecessor’s comments. "It’s an old issue,” she said. “It seems he "has a mind-set h,e’s dealing with ah unwillingess to j>ee the latitude that he has.” Ketter's really comments on the direction of the University were hardly optimistic. In the face of declining enrollments, the University may be forced to cut 50 100 faculty positions next year, he said.

President then explained how he ordered some of the i The professional schools to trim back their enrollments in the interests of ” maintaining a “broad-based” university. The session opened with Ketter’s prepared address, a 20-miinute speech that did not include last May’s recital of the Division of Budget's and the Legislature's role in the University. Ketter had been heavily criticized for what is now known as the "my hands are tied” speech. Grad student leaders feel it sets the stage for the evasion of pointed questions on the President’s performance. Speaking quickly and confidently, Ketter breezed through the set of nine concerns the GSA had asked him to address Wednesday repeatiog his consistent refusal to-order departments to accept a larger grad student role in policy-making. In his prepared statement, he drew careful distinctions between actions the TA/GA committee had recommended and actions the GSA would like him to take. The $3200 minimum stipend will be fully implemented, he pledged, but equal funding for day school TAs and Millard Fillmore College instructors cannot be achieved without cutting back MFC course offerings, which Ketter said could lead to a declining enrollment spiral that would “hurt everyone." fee control jeopardized—P. 5 I Movie section—P. 12 Abortion foes violent—P. 18 / �}Buff State gains approval of I commercial banks on campus Carter siad the UB Foundation is handling all the legal aspects and is supervising the initial groundwork.

Two local banks. Marine Midland Western and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (M&T) have already contacted the University to discuss the feasibility of a campus branch, according to Edward Doty, FSA Treasurer and Vice President for Finance and Management. Marine Midland bank, represented by Orrin Tobbe, recently decided not to expand to the Amherst Campus. Tobbe stated, “We don’t see the necessity of such a branch considering we presently have 10 branches in the immediate area.” - - Conflict of interest? All bid proposals presented by the banks will be forwarded to a UB Foundation advisory committee consisting of faculty, staff and students. The committee’s decision will then be given to an Executive Committee which includes University President Robert L. Ketfer and six members of the UB Board of Trustees. Although three of the seven members on the committee are currently serving on or have previously been members of the Board of Directorsof various local banks. Carter forsees no conflict of interest. “There will be no impropriety involved for the simple reason that any member affiliated with a bank will be disqualified from the (FSA) guidelines will be necessary because current stipulations restrict FSA from supervising the installation of a bank branch on campus. The Buffalo State Faculty-Student Association (FSA), Inc. contract has been altered to include banks on the list of corporations which are under FSA auspices. Although this ruling does not apply to the entire SUNY system, SUNY Vice-Chancellor for Finance Hgfry Spindler maintained, “we are presently working on a proposal which will expand the decision to include all SUNY campuses which demonstrate a need for such a facility.” Save at Amherst A bank branch is already in the planning, stage decision process,” be said.

Spindler does not forsee an upsurge in the number of commercial corporations allowed on SUNY campuses. “We’ve received enough badgering from the tax-paying business community about commercial enterprises no tax-free land causing unfair competiton,” he said. “Special provisions for other corporations may be likely but not in the near future.” Doty maintained, “Commercial businesses on campus will be strictly regulated by the University.

Miller, (D-Brooklyn) Chairman of the Committee on Higher Education, came to Buffalo Tuesday on a fact-finding missiSn and reassured the University that construction of the Amherst Campus will continue. Miller discussed a facing the and higher education, ranging from tuition aid to declining enrollments. Miller, who has toured 15 other SUNY schools and variety of issues University, SUNY, 50 colleges since approximately his ascension to the committee chairmanship, encountered a heavily scheduled day the University Dental — touring School, Clark Hall, the Amherst Campus;' and meeting with local legislators, the University Council of Deans, and students. University Director. of Public Affairs Jim DeSantis said Miller’s visit was enlightening. DeSantis noted, “I’m delighted that he understands the problems of SUNY and the seriousness with which he pursues his Committee Chairmanship.” Miller impressed U.B. officials with his knowledge and concern about higher education. Executive Director of the Higher Education Committee Carl Carlucci also said, “Mr. Miller was very impressed with the University.” Throughout day, administrators exposed Miller to the scars of the University: a nationally renowned but cramped Dental School awaiting the conversion of Squire Hall to a Health Science Building, a 2,400 capacity Clark Gym collapsing under the weight of a University with more than 34,000 students and a vital Computer Center stranded at the Ridge Lea Campus. Miller pointed out that the although students who are here plight." — now will not benefit from construction, this University is one "Of the last schools in New York State to receive major appropriations. construction Specifically, he noted that two engineering buildings are under construction; bonds for four facilities (the Music and Chamber Hall, phase one of the Fieldhouse, and the Lecture Hall Center) are on the market; and verbal assurances i planning money have been made for the first phase of the Social Science building, phase two of the gym, the Computer Center, and phase two of the student activities center.

Miller, who was deteriorated. has He services explained that certain such as library and building maintenance were neglected when the University was growing rapidly and “these should be addressed.” As SUNY enrollment peaked, State appropriations covered new personnel, but left equipment and facilities such as the University Dental School with units* and chairs purchased in the 1950s, according to Dental School Dean William M.

Kelly cited some startling information. While only five states have paid less attention to their university systems in the. last two years than New York, the Empire State ranks number one nationwide in state aid to private colleges. The Bundy aid program, which provides funds for private institutions, supplied over $68 million to 90 private schools last year, Kelly revealed. The letter, which detailed the increased State funding of private institutions in New York, followed similar correspondences by UB Wrestling coach Ed Michael and UB swimming coach Bill Sanford. The point of the three letters is simple to make the Governor, the legislators and the local media more aware of monetary needs at UB and SUNY in general and to win new appropriations for the completion of the half-built Amherst - Further impression According to Kelly, New York’s total payment of over $187 million to its private schools is about one third of what all other U.S. states combined gave to their private colleges. In addition, New York’s private college students received 45 percent of the total 1978 Tuition Assistance Plan budget. A furor over State funding of private schools was ignited by Governor Carey’s approval of a $ 15.3 million grant to Syracuse University for the construction of a domed football stadium. legislators fears '“crazy”, Miller explained that most students vote in line with their parents and the percentage of student voters is less. Thus, the impact of a new law allowing students to vote in their college communities ‘‘would be minimal,” he said. “I doubt it has a chance unless non-downstate legislators change their minds,’’ Miller commented. Concluding his busy day. Miller accompanied by University President Robert L. Ketter and Mrs. Lolly Ketter, dined in Richmond Cafeteria on the Amherst Campus. Miller said, “The food wasn’t that bad, but I wouldn’t want to eat it every University undergoing the — night.” Error correction College Council Robert Millonzi Kelly’s action, “Personally I am in complete sympathy with the idea that we should get endorsed this campus finished,” he stated. Millonzi said he would be open to the Council drafting a letter as a body to make a further impression on the Governor. Kelly originally sent copies of her letter to the Governor and the members of the State Legislature, but soon plans to send copies to the rest of the College Council and to George Wessell of the AFL-CIO. Main campaign Kelly hopes to revive a coalition formed several years ago to spur appropriation of construction money. University Director of Public Affairs James DeSantis said the coalition, which included University faculty, alumni, staff, the Buffalo and Amherst Chambers of Commerce, the AFL-CIO, building contractors politicians and trade won about $10 million for UB construction. “This was one main campaign that took place that involved virtually everybody,” DeSantis said. DeSantis called the letter writing trend a good - Campus. Michael Pierce noted the severe idea because it provides “acontinpous manner of informing our leaders of our problems and accomplishments.” Echoing Millonzi’s feeling that “We’ve made some progress”, DeSantis cited Carey’s post-election decision to release money for design work on four new buildings: Phase II of the gymnasium, a computer center, a student union and Phase I of the social science building. “That indicates to me that he’s serious about completing the campuJ,” DeSantis said. Kelly felt ,the student demonstration when Carey was here a month ago was effective. “I think it got the point over,” she said. “You take this stuff just so long.” 7 & - „ « v College Council Representative you’re “1 sent the letter to the people that control the Yet another letter from a UB representative to has the Governor the third in recent weeks brought the UB College Council into the Amherst construction picture.

The article implied that funds for the computer installation came from the Computer Science Department when in fact they came from the University Computing Services budget. �} Residents angered Parking restrictions at Ellicott draw criticism by Jane Baum Spectrum Staff Writer Residents of the Ellicott Complex have complained to the Traffic Control Advisory Committee that new winter parking regulations are unfair and in some cases endanger them. The new rules, in effect .November 15 through April IS, areas as designate certain “overnight sections” and prohibit parking in areas of surrounding lots. The plan is designed to facilitate overnight plowing of the closed lots so commuters will have parking spaces the following morning. The regulations, in effect, force students to find alternate parking when the designated “overnight sections” are full. Those who risk parking in surrounding lots may receive a $10 parking ticket. The other alternative is to park in the nearest designated lot. According to Robert Hunt, Director of Environmental Health and Safety and Chairman of the Traffic Control Advisory Committee, only 4 or 5 students have complained so far. “Each call has been from someone who got a ticket for being parked in an illegal lot.” Danger, danger! All complaints have stemmed from parking problems in lot P2, located between Red Jacket and Richmond. Students parking in P2 have found that by midnight, when the regulation goes into effect, the lot is almost always completely filled. One irate student received a ticket after she had parked in the nearest available illegal spot at 11:00 p.m., despite the note she left on her car explaining that the designated lot was completely full. She now parks in the Fargo lot when this lot is full but worries about the danger of the walk. “Half the lights are out in the lots, its cold and dark at ni^it IF IT SHOULD BUZZARD AGAIN: New winter parking designed to facilitate overnight plowing of campus- lots, have forced some Amherst dormitory residents to either park far from their buildings or park illegally and regulations, adn the walk is dangerous,” she said.

Jaime Alcala, who helped oversee more than 2,000 arrests of suspected narcotics traffickers, stepped down late in 1978, but his resignation is being kept a secret, by the Mexican government, which is legally liable to prosecute him for authorizing torture. The charges of torture being levied against the anti-drug campaign, which is financed by the U.S. State Department, could be a source of embarrassment for President Carter, who recently told the Organization of American States that America should withhold aid from any country that violated human rights. To date, Mexico has received more than $50 million in anti-dope-war funds and another $6 million is under consideration. The Sinaloa Bar Association has accused Jaime Alcala and Carlos Aguilar Garza, general coordinator of the anti-drug program, of being responsible for authorizing hundreds of tortures during the two years they managed the antidope campaign. Wearing down The association’s Commission on Human Rights interviewed 457 prisoners arrested for narcotics by the MFJP under Operation Condor.

Meteorology course uses campus weather station Although the third floor of Fronczak Hall on the Amherst Campus is best known for housing the Physics Department’s Undergraduate Laboratories, few people realize that it is also the home of UB’s weather station and forecasting facility. The station, created five years ago by Physics Department Professor Robert Cayley, was originally located on the Main Street Campus. Using a share of the allocations that the Physics Department received to equip the Fronczak facility, he set up a more complete weather data collection center at Amherst in 1974. Key information on both present and past weather conditions is provided by equipment at the station, in Room 313 which is supplemented by a teletype link with the National Oceanic Physics Prof Robert Grayley Weather Station developer and the Meteorology course, now in its third year. “I think the course bridges the science-non science gap,” Gayley commented, “I’ve had everyone from hanggliders to oceanographers.” The course is designed to make the average student aware of what’s going on outside and why, he said.

The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) received severe setback Tuesday fromthe Common Council when the legislators delayed action on NYPIRG’s request for permission to solicit funds in Buffalo during the month of December. Councilman-at-Large Anthony Masiello had NYPIRG’s request sent back to the Finance Committee, which he chairs, during the Council a The Council will not meet again until December 12, almost two weeks after NYPIRG planned to start its “canvassing drive”; According to NYPIRG's Regional Director Kenneth Sherman, NYPIRG canvasses Buffalo during the winter months sending representatives door-to-door asking for donations to supplement the funding it receives from the student governments at UB and Buffalo State College. Sources in City Hall say that a number of Council members are upset over NYPIRG’s association with another public advocacy organization called the Citizen’s Alliance (CA). CA has been sponsoring a campaign for a public referendum that would reduce Council members, salaries and cut the number of Councilman-at-large from five Proposal seeks to undermine students' fee program control President Steve Allinger. Allinger told The Spectrum he fears the proposal is part of an attempt by the presidents of SUNY Schools to gain a tighter grip on student activity fee money. The proposal will probably seek to place programs jointly supported by student governments and SUNY units (such as athletics) under administrative control, he said. Students currently fund about one-third of the cost of intercollegiate athletics, with universities providing funds for facilities, and coaches salaries. Other programs at SUNY units, such as dance troupes and theater workshops, are also co-fopnded and would fall under the domain of the administration. The proposal would create a separate mandatory, jfee, called a “co-curriculai fee” that would be collated-and disbursed by the University. ‘Lack of respect’ r $70 per student here Student Activity fees are now collected by the Administration but disbursed soley be student governments, with only broad state guidelines to govern their use. The proposal, which SUNY Vice Chancellor for Education Services James Smoot will present to Allinger early this month, has worried student leaders whothe SUNY central staff and the SUNY Presidents may be trying to move in on activity fee money which provides the Student Association — — — here with almost $900,000 annually. “1 find it very disturbing,” Allinger said, “It shows a deep lack of respect for students’ rights.” Although “co-curricular” is most commonly applied to programs like athletics which supplement a student’s education, Allinger warned that the term - 1 to two. and thus, administrative control could conceivably be extended to activities like literary magazines, film programs, the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) or in some cases, student newspapers. “Even SASU could be construed as one such activity,” he said. Smokescreen ~r Why the concern over co-curricular funding? “I think the presidents feel there is not enough stability from one year to the next,” Allinger said, “Student governments aren’t stable enough.” The proposed change in the fee structure will probably mean the most to SUNY athletic programs. SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton has warned that the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) requires that sports programs be run by the faculty. Student control over intercollegiate athletics may violate NCAA rules of Federal Title IX guidelines, Chancellor Wharton told a hearing of the SUNY Board of Trustees Tuesday. Allinger, linking Wharton’s comments to the proposed change in fee structure, called the NCAA issue “a smokescreen.” “The NCAA has never even made an inquiry or, investigation into SUNY funding,” Allinger said, adding that SUNY-central has made no attempt to ask the state to take over the funding of athletic programs and hence remove the financial burden from students. New York is one of only two states where students support intercollegiate athletics. Tfie administrative concern over activity fees comes at a time when student leaders across the state are "lobbying for an increase in the present ceiling from $70 to as much as $100. Vice Chancellor Smoot was out of town when called by The Spectrum Wednesday. A spokesman for his office would only say that a formal proposal on the issue has yet to be made Ron Stein, Assistant to the President here, said he has not heard of the proposal. 1 —-—: LECTURE SERIES ON CHINA TODAY ( Lecture 4: Current developments in China Speaker: DAN BURSTEIN Editor of 'THE CALL" and leader of a recent delegation to China & Kampuchea ICambodiaI Dec. 4th at 8:00 pm Room 148 Diefendorf MSC <SPONSORED BY.

Robert L Ketter's address to the Graduate Student Association Senate Wednesday night did not provide any hint that the President has changed his attitude toward the longstanding demands of grad students. But more important than his refusal to bend on any particular conflict is Ketter's unwillingness, or perhaps his inability, to sense the spirit behind GSA's grievances a spirit that reaches beyond (not around) the budget tempest to a place where change is a mind-set, debate it the lifeblood, growth is an attitude, not an anachronism, and leadership means more than the first finger in the dike. Some of the graduate students' demands are as parochial as any labor union's. But others cling to a vision of this University that could be the headwaters of real change here if only the President would listen more closely. — — Rich in sympathy What a relief to know that College Council Chairman Robert Millonzi completely sympathizes "with the idea that we should get this campus finished." At least we know he's on our side. Now if we could only get him and his fellow Council members, most of whom occupy positions of considerable influence in the community, to act on their doubtlessly sincere sympathies by actually doing something to get the Amherst Campus completed. We are already rich in sympathy but quite poor in buildings, books and bank accounts. Council member Phyllis Kelly receives our warmest commendation for her well-researched letter to Governor Carey and the state legislature. We hope that Kelly's enthusiasm will infect the rest of the Council with the same enthusiasm that led coaches Ed Michael and Bill Sanford to draft their extensive letters to Carey and drew 1100 protestors to stand up for their right* at the November 3 Carey rally. We have never been very clear on just what purpose the Council serves at this University. But if we are mistaken in expecting the Council to take a leadership role in garnering community support for the University, then we cannot even imagine why such a body should be allowed to exist. - . Action The appearance of Assemblyman Melvin H. Miller on campus to view facilities and discuss the University's problems with students and administrators is an encouraging sign that someone in the state is at least willing to listen. Miller, the Chairman of the Assembly Committee on Higher Education, can play a key role in the completion of the Amherst Campus. The Administration ought to be seeking visits from such {(luminaries, if only for the soothing psychological effect they may have on the morale. Perhaps James Donovan, Miller's counterpart in the state senate; Hank Oullyea from the Governor's office, counterpart in the state senate. Hank Oullyea from the Governor's office, Paul Villete from the Division of Budget and Donald Blinken of the SUNY Board of Trustees could be invited for tours or even public forums on the state's treatment of SUNY Buffalo. If Capen Hall is unwilling to take such action, then the student governments ought to step in and take matters into their hands. We have all been sitting around complaining for too long.

The issue is the right of conscience, not judgement of abortion. students of UB are repeatedly being reminded of Sub Board I’s decision to include abortion coverage in this year’s student health of insurance policy by way of the large number have surfaced about it which pro-con arguments recently. As a UB student, I must say that 1 am gladthat there is some awareness, but regret that there is The much misunderstanding and twisting of the issue. The result of this is a perversion of the stance of many persons involved in this issue. 1 am writing this letter to clarify my position on this issue and to ask that you spend a few moments reflecting on what it is that i am saying. No one is asking the student body to decide the wrongness or rightness of abortion. Abortion, per se, is not the issue! The issue involves the fact that the University of Buffalo students’ right of conscience has been violated by the Sub Board decision and something ought to be done about it. I contend that, at the very least, a choice be given about paying for the abortion coverage. The result of this will be that those whose consciences allow them to think of abortion as “a woman’s right and a legal right” (to quote a student in the Women’s Studies class, Women in Contemporary Society, at the recent Sub Board meeting) can pay for the-»bortion coverage and those whose consciences will not allow them to pay will not have to. If this cannot be done and I then the abortion strongly doubt that it cannot coverage should be removed. It cannot be denied that many people are opposed to abortion for moral, religious, personal, or conscience-related reasons and 1 believe that the rights of these people have been infringed upon by a decision which was made without consultation with the student community an d which does not leave any viable choice for objecting students. In order to aid the cause of protecting these rights of UB particularly, the highest right of students humanity: the right of conscience a group of students has formed the University of Buffalo Rights of Conscience Group. - — - - Tori Ann Kolinski University of Buffalo Rights of Conscience Group Insight into the strike To the Editor. This letter is a response to the article, “Strikers Roll on ..which appeared in the November 29 issue of The Spectrum. Indicative of The Spectrum’s coverage of this strike is their unprecedented concern with the owner’s side and no mention of the strikers position. Quoting continuously from Mangano, the owner and president of the company, the drivers are allowed only one quote. Because of this distorted and one-sided account praising the insights and concern of the company we of the ad hoc UB Strike Support Committee wish to inform people of the other side of this issue. As a group we are working to present the facts surrounding the strike so that students, professors, and University administration clearly understand what is going on and why. As members who comprise the vast majority of the University and essentially pay for this busing service, it is crucial that our voices be' heard. Do the students, professors and administrators want to take part in an agreement which clearly is not in anyone’s interest (especially the bus drivers) but the owner of Blue Bird? The administration would like nothing better. With busing playing an important role in the lives of the students and teachers at UB we clearly have much at stake. Knowing the facts of the strike and how we are affected by it is in our interest to understand it. Blue Bird drivers earn a maximum $4.21 an hour with most drivers averaging $4.00 an hour. The company is offering them 10 cents an hour and a cost of living cap of 5 cents for the first and second year and 8 cents for the third year. This by far doesn’t even cover the inflation hikes. Although all companies charge the same rate. Blue Bird drivers earn much less than drivers with Greyhound. The union proposal is $6.75 per hour and full coverage of inflation hikes. About 75 percent of the drivers are considered part time workers by Blue Bird even though some of them work 60—70 hours a week. The bus company maintains that in order to gain full time status drivers have to work 2080 hours a year (52 weeks of 40 hours per week). The federal ERISA law of 1975 points out that full time status should be granted for over 1000 hours a year. The drivers have no time for meals and have to do their 30-40 runs a day in one stretch, consequently having to eat on the buses. Blue Bird has turned down a union proposal for 1800 hours a year for full time status! Only full time workers are covered by the existing contract (which also contains a no strike clause). Consequently the vast majority of the drivers have no medical benefits at all and a completely inadequate pension plan. The company offer of 10 cents per hour more is supposed to cover the pension plan. Safety requirements on Blue Bird buses are not met. The company has ignored the malfunction sheets handed in by drivers. One driver was suspended for refusing to drive an unsafe bus So far the University has fully supported the Blue Bird management. It has ordered the police to drive picketing strikers from the Amherst Campus Bus services are being shut down at 11 p.m. and the University has not sued Blue Bird for this. One of the obvious effects of the strike has been With term papers a curtailment of study conditions. due and final exams approaching the speedy settlement of the strike will become crucial in the lives of the students. Along with the cutbacks in department budgets and teaching staff the strike has become an additional hurdle for students at UB By not pressuring the Blue Bird C. to the Umvensty seems to be saying that it is not settle, interested in education. Its interests lie couched in a capitalist mentality that is leaving us out in the cold (and it is getting cold waiting for overdue buses). Are our educations and lives to held at bay by narrow minded administrators and company officials? There is no way we can become anything other than what these people are if our University is willing to sacrifice the educational interests of students and faculty to maintain the status quo. It is essential for students to understand what their University does and why. Any actions (or lack of) undertaken to enrich a few individuals makes it clear why the Blue Bird drivers are still on strike; the drivers are not a part of the University that deserve a decent living because they remain outside the oligarchy that runs the University. This is obvious when the total budget for busing service in the University amounts to over $750,000. Out of this budget the bus drivers receive a paltry $4 per hour with 75 percent of the drivers receiving no, or few, benefits because they are still considered part time (even though some,of them work 60—70 hours per week). If students in our management school here at UB are not interested in this confrontation it is tragic. This is a situation involving coporate management in a crisis situation because the workers refuse to live under the conditions prescribed by the company. This is a valuable educational experience that is being ignored because it is assumed that since the University has no quarrel with the company over the bus service provided, the drivers must be all right with what they are receiving under their present contract. Nothing could be further from the truth. If we students and faculty are willing to let these strikers stand alone then they should stop and wonder when their next contract is due to expire, or when they graduate, what their conditions will be like and exactly where their interests are taken for granted, in any situation, in the interests of a few ‘ individuals. We hope that the information • above has given you some insight into the issues surrounding the strike. But, what can we students do? We can discuss the strike with our friends, we can circulate and sign petitions concerning the strike at the University. We can call Roger McGill in the University Busing Office at 831-1476, and complain about the inadequate bus service. We can distribute leaflets. We can organize with other students in order to support the striking drivers. That is what some of us have already done. We are a group committed to non-violent activities in support of the Blue Bird strikers. We do not advocate the smashing of mirrors as a means of showing support. What we as students do demand is an end to the strike and adequate bus service. The UB Strike Committee meets regularly at 4:30 Mondays in 107 Townsend Hall, but will be having a special meeting this Friday, December We are making plans to support the strikers and welcome your participation. Though still in their formative stage some of our tentative ideas include gathering support form various groups and organizations, run an endorsement in The Spectrum regarding these support groups, and - a table in Squire Hall. More long range plans include a presentation and demonstration in Squire Hall to further inform people and establish support, and a “bus-in-day” to educate students to the issues. If you have any suggestions and ideas join us at our next meeting. Hope to see you there. For more information please call Tolstoy College at 831-5286, Jim at 627-2285, or Mike at 636-5678. You can also speak to the strikers at the Bailey-Sherman picket line personally. ,. James Colucci Peter Murphy for the Ad Hoc UB Strike Support Committee �dayfrldayfridayfridaytm feedback i Vi You better not pout To the Editor. Dear Santa. It s almost that time of year again, so here 1 am right on schedule with another year’s Christmas list. However, I feel it’s only fair to warn you that I’m taking a different apporach this year. I’m asking for too much and too many of everything! That’s right. You see, in the past, even though 1 was a very good boy, I never managed to get anything close to what 1 asked for (and deserved). So this year I’m asking for more with the hope that I’ll at least break even. I want to start by asking for libraries having hours that exceed the amount of studying I really want to do. 1 also want too many full professors (instead of GAs) to teach my courses. I’m also asking for too many athletic buildings with too many basketball courts, weight machines, and swimming pools. I would like too many key punch machines to be installed at the computer facilities so I don’t have to wait three hours to punch a 20 card deck. I would also like too many doctors to be' on duty at University Health Service so 1 don’t have to wait another three hours to see one when I have a cold. 1 would like to see too many parking spaces for the number of cars and too many dorm rooms for the number of applicants. I would like to see too many University Police officers that believe their job is to catch criminals instead of harass students. 1 would like to see too many good articles in The Spectrum and erijoy too many good concerts and speakers sponsored by SA, I would like too many employees to jump up and ask “May I help you?” when 1 walk into Hayes A or step up to the Rathskellar lunch counter. And last (but not least!) I would like to see too many pretty girls walking around campus. Now is that asking for TOO MUCHVA Michael J. llarll Winter parking so much to ask? To the Editor. Well, our boys in brown have done it again. Last week marked the beginning of restricted nighttime parking on both campuses. Now, I will readily agree that this is a prudent policy with a surprising amount of foresight, especially for our University Police. 1 can see that it could facilitate now removal greatly but, there is a catch. You see, when one dorm’s well used parking lot is closed at night those students who usually park there must park in the adjacent parking lot which is also well used, even crowded. The problem is obvious. One parking lot is simply not large enough to accomodate all of the students living in the nearest dormitories. An example is P-2 where Richmond and Red Jacket students must park in the Richmond half only due to the parking restrictions. Because this lot is not large enough ten or fifteen cars must be parked on the fringe of the Red Jacket lot. As a result these people get the yellow palling card of UB’s finest on their windshields. But, don’t get me wrong 1 applaud our guardians of justice for ticketing cars parked in driveways or outside parking lines. (That’s a 5 dollar no no!) But for ten or fifteen cars of overflow to receive $10 tickets is rather ludicrous. Heck, they even park within the lines. And so where, pray tell, are these people to park? In Wilkeson’s already crowded P-1? In Porter’s equally crowded parking lot? Oh, wait, 1 have it; there’s at least ten or fifteen open spaces in - Governor’s parking Jot. Well kids, on a cold December night Governor’s is a long hike from Ellicott. So, tJiese hapless people park illegally and our ever watchful crimestoppers have a field day with their parking tickets. This merecy adds insult to injury considering the already deplorable daytime parking situation. It would seem that a compromise is in order. Despite this tongue-in-cheek approach 1 have great respect for our University Police. They seemed much more friendly and personal when they were Campus Security but everyone has an ego so police they are. (Luckily as yet, still without guns to further bolster the police ego.) In any case, I wonder if it would be possible to open an extra parking lot of a lot to accomodate the overflow in the or Ellicott parking lots. We just need some extra space. After all, it’s not so much to ask to be able to park within 500 yards of where one lives. Is it? David A. Lewis Facilities do something An incident occurred recently at SUNY/Buffalo which served to illustrate further the glaring inadequacies and urgent needs at this institution. On November 11, 1978 the UB Women’s Swim Team hosted Potsdam in a match scheduled to include both swimming and diving events. UB was forced to forfeit the diving competition, however, when a Potsdam diver struck her head on the pool floor in a trial dive. The Intercollegiate Rule Book specifies pools “should be at least 12 feet deep.” The UB pool, housed in 60-year-old Clark Hall, is only 10 feet deep. The forfeiture of 16 points in the diving competition was more- than the margin of our 3-pbint loss, UB 55, Potsdam 58. The loss, howeer, is not nearly as disturbing as the Situation which precipitated it. The safety hazard posed by these inadequate facilities is obvious, but there are other equally detrimental ramifications when 60-year-61d gym facilities designed to service a population of expected to facilitate 25,000. The tenets 3000 are of a sound mind and sound body so fundamental to American education are undermined when such a situation is allowed to persist. The lack of enough safe basketball courts, insufficient physical education class space (gym classes are often held in hallways), an unsafe pool, inadequate locker rooms and many similar porblems all contribute to a “Quality of Life Crisis” at UB. This crisis has led to an attrition rate (students transferring or dropping out) higher than any other institution in the State. It is time something is done. We call upon you, the State Division of Budget, Western New Yourk Legislators and other involved parties to ensure UB its fair share the fair share we have been promised years, but have*1'been repeatedly for 10 denied. j I riff.*:ft# t t fT .»r* I ii. — . To the Editor. '. » Mary K. Povlock Valeria Zurek Deenie Lambie ,**• ... «li;> » Melissa A. Quine Eileen Grady Pamela Noahes Kelly-Anne Becker Jiusto clears the air with NFTA Editor’s note: The following letter was sent by SA Director of Student Affairs Scott Jiusto to NFTA Community Relations Director John Winston explaining the rationale behind the Carey protest here November 3, chosen for the rally only after Governor Carey refused to include an address at UB in his campaign itinerary. That the Groundbreaking was strictly a political activity to enhance Carey’s election campaign was obvious, and certainly was within his rights. It was also well within our rights, however, to Dear Mr. Winston: make a political statement regarding the desperate state of this institution. We feel this to be an issue of 1 would like to clear up matters regarding the grave concern, not only for students of UB, but for student at the rally NFT Rapid Transit all of Western New York. Our sole purpose in Groundbreaking on Friday, November 3, 1978. gathering to meet Governor Carey was to impress It is important to stress the fact that the upon him the magnitude and urgency of the students assembled were in no way protesting ihe situation, and to this end 1 feel we were successful. 1 hope this letter will serve in making clear our building of the Rapid Transit System, as was erroneusly contended in at least one repott. The position in this matter. Sincerly, rally Was in no means intended to jeopardize the project and we firmly believe it did not in any way do so. Scott Jiusto, Director Student Affairs Student Association Further, the Rapid Transit Groundbreaking was Rabbit test flunks To the Kditor. Rabbit Test, written, directed, and produced by Joan Rivers, shown this past weekend at UB, might as well be a recruitment film for the Ku Klux Klan. Ostensibly a comedy about the world’s first pregnant man, the film is really a thinly veiled attack on the Catholic belief in the virgin birth of Christ. Furthermore, Rabbit Test is so offensive to so many different groups and people that it only possible to inadequately characterize it due to its complete and utter tastelessness. Satire can be an extremely useful tool in illuminating the ills of our society. This film, however, fails miserably as satire, and in being devoid of even so much as one socially constructive value only adds to our problems. Rabbit Test, among other things, is incredibly xenophobic, sexist, racist, anti-Catholic, and anti-Polish. As such it is blantantly slanderous to diverse minority groups and thus diminishes the vitality of democratic institutions. And slnader is not and has never been protected by constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech. Children, subjected ot stereotype after stereotype via the media, are also victimized. Psychologically scarred in their won developing sense of identity, they can only be expected to regard other people in terms of stereotyped misconceptions. So, how can a film like Rabbit Test be construed as funny? There is a big defference between genuine “ethnic” humor and “humor” which only serves to defame, degrade, and slander certain peoples. Genuine “ethnic” humor is based on the innocusous absurdities of mutual miscomprehension or double meanings characteristic of multi-cultural perceptions for example, calling the Statue of Liberty, the “Stasiu” of Liberty. Such humor is genuinely funny and perhaps one of the greatest attributes of our nation. In genuine “ethnic” humor, the barbs are shared by everybody in the same way, allowing us all to laugh in unison at our common predicament. Thus, no damage is done. However, when the function of so called “comedy” serves to make some people feel superior to other people in line with vicious stereotyping, then some people are subjected 6t humiliation and ascribed as being inferior’. There is clearly nothing funny about defamation, racism, and sexism. Rabbit Test is also reprehensible because it plays into the hands of the most unscrupulous anti-semites. Such people will illogically point to Joan Rivers’ Jewish background and the absence of any overtly vicious aspersions against the people of the'Jewish faith in the film as “proof’ of a “Jewish conspiracy”. This is especially serious in light of the considerable and praiseworthy efforts of groups, such as the B’Nai B’Rith and the American Jewish Committee, which have taken numerous and determined initiatives to oppose all forms of • - defamation. . % All racial, ethnic, religious, and women’s groups should make it unmistakenly clear to the motion picture and broadcasting industries that defamitory stereotyping is not in the public interest. Companies that continue to indulge in the production and distribution of films and broadcasts that are defamitory and slanderous must be ; made tV^realize that they are violating their public trust. We must all realize that the only way to begin to put an end to racism, sexism, and defamation is to build coalitions, uniting our respective strengths and efforts. In our solidarity, we can only learn from one another and move forward with more force and determination. We can begin by supporting House Concurrent Resolution 714 introduced in Congress by Representative Fary from Illinois. This resolution, if enacted, will give the motion picture and broadcasting industries one year to establish standards to protect racial, ethnic, and religious groups from defamitory stereotyping. The resolution also provides for the Congress to propose such standards as it deems necessary if the media industries fail in their boligation to the public. We must also make it clear to Congress that women should be affored the smae protections guaranteed to racial, ethnic, and religious groups by this resolution. , Finally, until such a precedent is set, we urge all campus organizations to be more responsible in selecting films to be shown on campus.

However, in common the term usage, “classical”' could be defined as “any or all of the kinds of music to be found in a certain section of the record store (usually the back).” This can include anything from a Gregorian chant to the music of John Cage. v But given that the music of our time has adopted the task of cutting any links to the music of the previous century, not to mention that of Haydn et. al., the term “classical” seems particularly absurd when applied to modern art-music. In fact, this altogether misleading blanket term obscures very a basic rift between contemporary and traditional Western art-music; a rift which, while it is not wide enough to separate Berio from Bach in the record bin,i is deep enough to require a separation of facilities for the performance of these two distinct types of musip here in Buffalo. Traditional art-music can be heard at Kleinhans Music Hall, and contemporary art-music can be heard at the Albright-Knox; and seldom, if ever, shall the twain meet. •«» Intimate setting The auditorium at the intimate, is Albright-Knox modern, and comfortable; the audiences tend to be (too) small, but very selective and astute.

Flaving unmasked the villain, the play suggest a solution unity through socialism. At the end of the play, the audience in the Fillmore Room rose to give the troupe a standing ovation, a response which several of the performers returned to the crowd; one sensed that the play’s socialist vision was acknowledged in the shared clapping. Following the applause, one member of the group stepped forward to talk briefly about the troupe, its work and purpose. For years, twenty almost San Francisco Mime Troupe “has been bringing theater to the people,” motivated by their shared sense that “drastic changes need to be made." And, at the risk of possibly insulting the troupe’s artistic prowess, we found their central concern here, in their politics rather than in their art: “We’ll be successful if you are motivated to action.” To view this excellent acting ensemble purely asthetically is a grievous mistake they are talented, lively and vivacious. But their commitment to a social and political purpose provides their collective talent with its force and power.

She's the one that makes the light shine." -The husbandof a quilter in The Quitters interviews with old women of the Southwest, pieced together, quilt-like, into a revelation of the nature of life as lived by these pioneers and of the role that quilting has played in their lives. And it is a fascinating story, if without the clearly delineated political implications of Mainardi’s essay. Cooper and Buferd came to their subject looking for their history, attempting to explore "the relationship of quilting to the lives of the quilters." They see quilts as "an artistic expression” of “the women and their environment.” L But their concern too, as is Mainardi’s, is to portray these women as artists, as consciously creative. "I’ve been told I have a way with matching up my colors. It comes natural to me. I keep figuring and working with my materials, and thinking about my colors a long time before it feels right. I know how my quilt is going to look before I ever start.” This is art, planned, designed, executed. The communal importance of quilting does not detract from its artistic import. The shared life about the quilting bee served to soften the rigors of frontier life; it also served to strenghten the bonds of community; quilts were sewn for neighbors on both joyous and sad occasions, for the victims of tragedy, and were passed along from generation to As in many fields of endeavor, the contributions made by women to the world of art have been either ignored or misinterpreted. The history of art has been, for centuries, dominated by white men, mainly from Western Europe and the United States. And, as a consequence, we have missed a great deal of important creative work. One of the broadly-based benefits to arise from minority movements has been the recognition of minority art as truly artistic: to label as "primitive” an intricate African mask of carved wood, frought with religious significance, is to commit an incredibly rigid, culturally narrow judgement. The woman’s movement in this country has, among other activities, attempted to define the parameters of woman’s work as legitimate, in its appropriate realm. In the world of art, ‘this task has brought to the public eye the works of women whose art has been for too long ignored by a male-oriented and mate-do min a ted generation. culture-establishment. But, beyond this, the If I have any complaint to register against movement has created a recognition of women’s Cooper and Buferd, it is on a point made by "handicraft” as art. Mainardi in her essay, whose dedication is “For all Patricia Mainardi has re-issued a 1972 essay women everywhere, who never realty wanted to be Entitled Quilts: The Great American Art. Mainardi, anonymous after all.” Cooper and Buferd fail to author of the seminal essay "The Politics of properly recognize the individuality of their subjects, Housework,” has written a forceful defense of the the women, preferring to concentrate on their validity of quilting as a legitimate art form.

But both Quilts and The Quitters are important Recognizing this, we may study quilts and quilting in 6rder to study the "social and historical books in the expansion of the art world to include circumstances” of these artists, women responding works heretofore ignored or relegated to minor positions. And this is an art that is supremely to the conditions of their lives in America. More than this study of quilting, Mainardi human: Cooper and Buferd quote one woman as demands fhat traditionally female crafts be honored saying, “It’s a pleasure puttin’ It all together.” as intentionally creative forms.

That’s the big difficulty with a singer, Nicolette Larson in this instance, as opposed to a singer-songwriter. Nicolette is a portrait rather mysterious and more open to speculation because there are no autobiographical verses, no independent wrestling as with Joni Mitchell, no high class coping as with Carly Simon, no country roots yearning as with Emily Harris. No real proof any way. Larson’s voice is unexpectedly pretty, so much so that her sister might blush each time she heard her notes. What I mean by unexpectedly pretty is that you really can’t tell about her vocal prowess when she does backup for Harris’ Quarter Moon In A Ten Cent Town on "Defying Gravity’’ and “Bum That Cahdle” performances which Larson must have been both amused and saddened by. But gallantry is part of this young science of rock and pop; she figured that gallantry made a small stepladder to stardom. But Larson has nourished herself with food from the "greats’’ in rock: Harris, Ronstadt and Young. Her apprenticeship must have been a quick one, the danger of any apprenticeship being the need to copy the vocal inflections of these folks she’s a female Neil Young on his “Four Strong Winds.” But more often than not on Nicolette, she's built on what she’s learned, nevertheless lending her work categorization since she’s a product of the aforementioned influences. So, she's as smooth as Karla Bonoff on "Give A Little” and rough like Bonnie Raitt on Jesse Winchfester’s “Rhumba Girl.” — — Brushstroke dreaming The strange thing is that it’s not supercilious or an exercise, in superficiality to write about Larson’s history rather than immediately reviewing her album in the first few paragraphs. Her history is her music; you’ve got to know who she is before you know her dreams; and the dreams of a beginning singer are pretty close to real life. There’s a whole world to be conquered, which grimly excited people think of as a necessity. We’re all too much like adults. Larson’s Nicolette is one of the year’s 10 best. She fields the challenge of the world through her voice but she doesn’t challenge the etiquette of rock. That is to say, tf there’s any elan to the rock esthetic she hasn’t reached that apex. And Ted Templeman’s production is much like Peter Asher's without the punch. For instance, the strings on “Mexican Divorce” clutter the song and the funk on Neil Young’s "Lotta Love" waxes superfluous. The bastard flaneur can’t even make it along Paris streets, let alone in Hollywood I want to see Larson deshabille without so much backup by studies. Ronstadt, Little Feat, Mike McDonald or Valerie Carter. Or I want no backup at all. Throughout, though, her voice is ethereal, careless and free amidst die perfect slick of all those backup people. It could be that the songs are just right for her, since the aloof softness of “Give A Little” is the stuff that closes eyelids and makes moods, "French Walz” is lulling, although too French because of a poppy accordian; “Angels Rejoiced” gives way to country roots, yellow teeth harmony as Herb Pedersen joins Larson. As spiritualists-say, Nicolette Larson has picked up and felt the vibration. And only because this lady’s portrait dreams. « �Test Patterns Shock and despair by Ross Chapman I sit cross-legged on my dusty red carpet in front of a small black and white television set.

On the screen, an Air Force C 14 lands. There's a cut to the same plane, later as it is being unloaded. The cargo is white plastic coffins labeled messily in black magic marker. The soldiers who move the caskets out of the aircraft's belly wear gas masks. I turn my head away and look up and out the window. The sky is dimming. Against a backdrop of rolling gray clouds, an airliner heads for the airport, filled, no doubt, with holiday travelers. / begin to laugh, softly, even though my stomach still hurts. Q. Why do you laugh? Why is your idiom a puttering of giggles interspersed with sighs? What causes this unresolved dialectic of mirth and melancholy? What is it you see? A. I see used-car lots and plastic lawn animals. I see Star Wars music played in concert halls and as muzak in the waiting rooms of abortion clinics. I see the word ‘purity’ come to mean odorless armpits and sanitized motel sheets rather than innocence or virtue. I see best selling psychology replacing considered introspection. I see ads for new elastic trusses in the Sunday magazine section. I see equalitarianism mutating into homogeneous mediocrity. I see my lunch these days coming from recalcitrant vending machines rather than from my mother. I see art becoming crass tools for crass politicians and balmy-headed Marxists. I see smiling, blown-dried ciphers reading me the news. And I see Guyana. I see the steamy vapors of putrefaction rising from so many corpses, face down in jungle mud, limgs splayed out looking oh my lack of God, looking almost ridiculous. Q. Ah yes, the Guyana thing. A. 900 Guyana things lying in alien muck so far from home, so far from reason. Q. What do you have to say about it? Our readers are anxious to know. A. Yes, I know they are, which is why I am not going to say anything about the incident itself if I can possibly avoid it. Enough and too much has been said already. Q. The world is agog with the news. A. Yes, the TV coverage has been so fucking ample! All those little dots on my TV screen forming images of torrid terror three times a day, day after day. Damn these video ghouls! Damn their sky-high ratings! How many gothic horrors frothing with blood and burbling with tears must I be subjected to? Can't they inform me without all die drool, without the lusty zeal? It hurts! Sensationalists voyeurism of cameras zooming in on faces bent and lined with grief, zooming in on eyes filling with tears, on tightly pursed lips quivering as they strain to contain a wail, on the way someone’s adam’s apple jumps up and down under skin stretched over their throats just before they break down. It’s obscene. It’s wrong. Must we have all that film at eleven? Why don’t they leave us alone? Why don’t they leave them alone? Q. We do need to be informed. A. Yes, but this kind of eager coverage is not merely informative; it’s exploitative. All those miles of film and all those close-ups of corpses and coffins far exceed the needs of information. The film isn’t supporting the news; the film Is the news. The 900 dead people don’t matter so much as the garish, audience-drawing, commercial selling way they died. 1.5 million people have died in Cambodia since 1975. Why don't we ever hear of that? No film. No on-the-spot reports dripping with hyperbolic description. That’s why. The paradox is that the media’s emphasis on the Guyana thing doesn’t amount to a serious treatment of it. It’s mock seriousness: exploitation and sensationalism are not serious. They’re cavalier and the true import of Guyana is lost. It’s almost as if the media finds the situation fun rather than horrible. Q. Did you find any humor in the situation? A. No, not in the act itself. What do you take me for? But I did find it darkly humorous that at the same time as this bizarre event, bom of piety and consummated with sacramental kool-aid, NBC was showing something called Heroes of the Bible which treated the BiblicSI mythology and its superannuated morality with dead seriousness. , Q. I see. I don’t think I’ll pursue this point through. A. Yes, no point in bringing down the combined forces of organized religion on our heads. Q. Quite. Well, we’re almost out of space.

Highlights of the evening included his "Clapping Piece” and his "Piece for Two Pianos.” In "Clapping Piece,’’ Reich was both composer and performer; he stood onstage with another musician and the two of them clapped their hands rhythmically into a microphone. If it sounds dull, it wasn’t. First of all, the two of them were ace clappers positively virtuosic. But more rhythmic importantly, the interest, coupled with the idea of making music just with the human body provided for an enjoyable and fascinating piece. One was sorry to see it end. (Afterwards, someone I was sitting with pointed out the irony of applauding a clapping piece.) The piano piece was performed, logically enough, on two marimbas. Like all of the pieces, it sets up pulsating rhythmic patterns, but the sounds created were of exceptional beauty. The piece was created so that notes would appear that — —continued seemed to be played by neither of musicians who were the performing the piece. from page 11 the Haydn, neither Marriner nor the orchestra seemed able to deliver the angularity necessary to the music Concentrate Reich’s music seems to owe a debt to Javanese* Indian, and African music, and perhaps as well to the drug culture the first of these pieces appeared on the West coast in 1967. Some of the other peices were slightly less successful; either the sounds involved were less entrancing (as in the case of "Music for Pieces of Wood”) or else the conception was not as tightly focused (as in the "Music Voices, and for Percussion, Organ”). But even in the less effective pieces, one had to admire the - concentration extraordinary required for the performance of this music. And.there didn’t seem to be a missed note in the evening. Precision like this is a little dehumanized, but this is not music about emotions or about the lack of emotions this is simply music about music and as such was very thought-provoking — and entertaining. the spirit of participation and innovation of the Reich concert, there was the in contrast to the performance following afternoon at Kleinhans. Now a musician or actor will tell you that a Sunday afternoon matinee provides a golden opportunity to goof off; and to be certain, during the first half of the concert, in which Haydn’s “Symphony No. 100" and Richard Strauss’ "Horn Concerto No. 1 were played, the orchestra was often shoddy in picking up cues and somewhat generally dispirited. These faults, however, have little to do with Neville Marriner’s energetic and well-controlled style of conducting. He seemed to be most at-home during the flowing, lyrical sections of the program; here and there,'as in the finale of But in the second half, everybody woke up and delivered a fine performance of Mussorsky’s "Pictures at an Exhibition" as orchestrated by Ravel. This version of the piece has it all — intriguing brilliant contrasts, rhythmic orchestration, and a program which is neither too metaphysical nor concrete. It’s a crowd, pleaser, and the crowd was pleased. Although having a "guest conductor" often means having less than the maximal number of rehearsals necessary for a good performance, in this case Marrlner’s sense of pacing and the orchestra’s natural ability combined to produce a convincing performance. legend non-students. t , On December 5 at 7 p.m. a presentation of rock jamming will be given by the members of the Roots of Rock music class at the Katharine Cornell Theater.

Suddenly, you are part of the gyrating mob, caught in the excitement of the disco. The disco craze, now sweeping the nation, spurred on by the success of movies Saturday Night Fever and Thank God It's Friday is evident right here in Buffalo. Discos have sprung up in Western New York at an amazingly fast rate. Each one professes to have the “most spectacular sound and light systems known to man. hoping to lure the growing numbers of disco enthusiasts their to establishment.

Much of the popularity of Mulligans is due to the local sports stars who frequent the night spot, general manager Dale Steffano stated. "The players know me and they keep coming back or tell other people, so through word of mouth, the place gets around,” he said. This theory was proven correct when two girls giggled, “we’re here to see the Sabres.” How long can the disco craze last? Will it go the way of long forgotten fads? We’ll just have to wait and see. Meanwhile keep on dancing! ’ — �j»Anti-abortion segments exhibit | disregard for human life inactions M by Adrienne McCann Spectrum Staff Writer Pro-Life Movement is that its members show In June 1973, the United States Supreme Court legalized abortion. And nothing has been the same since. This ruling has unleashed a mass wave of protest from those against abortion, many of whom are members of the “pro-life family”, as well as a wave of counter protest from those supporting the right to “pro-choice”. Although five years have passed since its legalization, abortion is still a “hot” topic.' Politicians find it difficult to firmly take a student stac stance, either in refutation or in support. Locally, controversy surrounds the University’s student health insurance plan which includes abortion coverage. This past June, Newiweek magazine devoted its cover story to “Abortion an abortion - Under Attack.” Recently, many members of. the Right to Life and the Friends of Life movements have resorted to violent and disruptive tactics to promote their cause. Newsweek reported, “It was the day before Mother’s DAy, and a young woman was waiting to have an abortion at the Chicago Loop Mediclinic. Suddenly a half a dozen adults and children belonging to Friends for Life rushed into the waiting room. The children stood with flowers and a crucified doll, while the adults read a Mother’s Day proclamation denouncing abortion. The patient buried her head in her arms and began sobbing. ” Harassment In Ohio, Nebraska and Minnesota, several abortion clinics have been set on fire. In addition, also according to Newsweek “In Phoenix, Dr. Robert Arizona physician who. performs Tamis, an abortions, says that abortion opponents have put glue in his office lock, shot at his car, poisoned his dog and harassed his children.’’ If is ironic that a central complaint against the a “systematic disregard for human life and property.” Yet the National Abortion Rights Action League national lobbying and (NARAD, the only devoted solely to organization membership maintaining the legal status of abortion, said just that. In a recent newsletter, NARAL commented “With callous disregard for life and property, these well-planned and seemingly to well-coordinated.” NARAL, in addition publishing newsletters, monitors clinic violence and is currently fighting for the reinstatement of attacks have been Medicaid funds for abortion. The Right to Life movement is a powerful one on national, state and local levels. It has consistently tried to add an amendment outlawing all abortions to the U.S. Constitution, In New York State, the Right to Life Party has gained the right to a permanent place on the ballots. And in Buffalo, the Erie County Right to Life Committee is one of the best organized and well funded in the nation. Restrictive laws This November, in neighboring Niagara County, the County Legislature, composed of 16 men, passed legislation restricting a woman’s access to abortion. Conditions laid down by the Right-to-Life forces who designed the framework for the bill, include forcing the patient to examine photos of the fetus at various stages of development, requiring the clinic to send the woman’s husband a written five-day advance notice of the date and location of the abortion, and requiring minors to obtain the consent of both parents. Yet, while local anti-abortion factions are strong, they are also peaceful. According to Pam Parkinson of Erie Medical Center, the Center’s abortion clinic has only been picketed once. “Last May, on the Saturday before Mother’s Day, we were picketed for the first time in the six or seven years that I’ve been here,” Parkinson said. “The picketers primarily stayed out of the building,” she said.

Blames Mafia for crime rate ‘Super cop’Tom a urges brotherly love to solve the world's problems by Alan Cohen Send your Spectrum Staff Writer One of the most reknowned police officers in the country, David Toma who has been dubbed told a dissappointingly small UB “Super cop” audience Tuesday that “people must love eacjt other” to solve the world’s problems. “You must show people you care,” he said. “People all over the world are looking for answers and they’re not going to find it through artificial stimulation drugs. You must learn to love yourself and reach put and help others.” Toma, who lectured on “Human Decency”, was sponsored by the Student Association (SA) Speaker’s Bureau. He spoke ofhis experiences, from the Neward slums to undercover cop, and to his present fame and fortune. Toma has been a policeman for 20 years and an unprecedented 98 percent of the criminals he arrested have been conyicted. Yet Toma has never fired his gun. He is the originator of the decoy cop and as “The Great Impersonator” and “Man with a Thousand Faces” because he is a master of disguise. Toma is the only person who has ever had two television series about his life aired at the same time, Baretta and Toma. Speaking with endless energy, the detective explained, “I had all the fame in the world and it wasn’t making me happy. Now I’m happy going to schools and other institutions, speaking, trying to help everyone. I don’t need the money. I’m here because 1 care about you. I love you.” — - - High on life Toma blamed a great part of the world’s problems on the use of drugs. Many of his relatives were drug addicts and Toma admitted that he too became an addict after his son died. Toma told the receptive crowd that he painfully broke his addiction to doctor-prescribed valium pills. Explaining in detail how drugs have ruined people’s lives, Toma told the Cooke Hall audience, “I am high on you, I am high on life, 1 am high on myself. Turn yourself on to life, not drugs.” Toma, who has had thousands of speaking engagements, in grammar and mainly appears in grammar and high schools. He asks his audiences to come to him with drug or other problems. Toma Super cop' David Toma A one-time drug addict —Buchanan gave his address and told the audience to write him if they wanted to. “If you want to talk to me after this lecture I will stay all night and listen, as I really want to help,” he said. “We all must find somebody to talk to. We all need someone to listen to us.” Toma added, “I am proud that because of me, hundreds of thousands have put down their drug habits and found themselves.” Obligated to people Toma is the author of three best selling books, and has been a professional baseball player, a boxer and a professional musician. He is now starring in a , movie about his own unusual life. Toma blamed the crime in this country on organized crime such as the mafia. He has been shot and stabbed over 30 times and showed the audience some incredible scars. “1 feel an obligation to people,” Toma concluded, “1 plan io spend the rest of my life doing this. All you go out there and do something. Be happ> with life.” �Appointment of Theater director expected today The problems caused by the vacancy in the technical director position of the Kathanne Cornell Theater have lessened somewhat and are expected to end today with the appointment of a new Director. When asked whether someone had actually been hired Ellicott Complex Administrator Dick Cudeck admitted, “No not yet, but we anticipate being able to appoint someone by Friday Cudeck added a that there was “preferred candidate” who was going through approval procedures, although Cudeck declined to name the person. - ’’ The theater has suffered without a director, who is needed to run lighting and sound facilities vital to productions. The vacancy was created October when John Pietruszka resigned after submitting a five-week notice. During the five week period no new director was appointed, creating a void in the theater’s operation. At first, the vacancy did not present too many problems since personnel with the technical knowlegde to work the sound and lighting board were available. Nevertheless, complications later arose. Approval hassle College B concert coordinator Mike Sheffield said, “The crisis has subsided to certain extent because they are willing to make accomodations. Things are now a tiny bit more workable.” Shows such as Arsenic and Old Lace, have been presented by “working out temporary arrangements.” Sheffield added, “This is rough to have to do every time you use the theater.” Cudeck said, “We’re not turning anyone down, we’re handling reservations with temporary technical Wp." Sheffield wondered why no director had been appointed until now saying, “It’s completely a mystery. I don’t understand, it seems to me there are a lot of people out there who are experienced in the theater.” The problem in filling the position has not been in finding a qualified person, but rather in setting up and getting approval for the a newly created one. The technical director will be a position itself lighting technician, serve as house manager, and is responsible for both billing the use of the theater, and handling reservations. It will be a fulltime, 12 month paid position, that Cudeck hopes will be operational in one to two weeks, “if everything works well.” - Audobon way opens, smooth driving ahead A section of the Decentralized power sought Quebec a troubled province, diverse cultures divide people A cultural schism continues to divide “La Belle Provence” of Quebec Since the signing of a 1763 peace treaty between France and Great Britain, French Canadians speaking (F rancophones) and English speaking Canadians (Anglophones) have battled for political power and cultural separatism. Canadian journalist Malcom Reid, a critic and supporter of the Quebec separatist addressed movement, University last the Wednesday on “Politics Culture in Quebec Today.” and The development of the separatist movement can be traced the ancestry to of the Francophone population, Reid stated. Most of the Francophones have roots in the poorer classes of northern France who came to present-day Canada in the mid 1700’s, he explained. These immigrants became the “habitants or tenants of the “seigneur” or noble estates. Reid described the easy assimilation that the newcomers experienced, “Most of them came from the same region in France, so there was no problem,” he stated. This, Reid further explained, is the cause of the strong sense of cohesion and loyalty among Francophones. The consequences today’<s of such feelings of unity are widespread, the journalist stated. prevails slang The same strong 594,000 square French newspapers printed in Montreal, throughout the miles of the province. the second largest city in Canada, are distributed through the entire province and considered “local” in nature and language, Reid elaborated. Although Clearly a minority in Quebec, the Anglophones pose a majority in the country as a whole. According to a 1976 Census, the Canadian population is 44.6 percent British and 28.7 percent French. The most drastic solution to this awkward relationship between Quebec and Canada is complete separation from the other nine provinces, but what most separatists are working for is a decentralization of power which would localize more political decisions, he explained. the 1960’s, Reid related. These activities eventually culminated in the October Crisis of 1970, when a terrorist group for Quebec independence kidnapped a diplomat and a minister, and the Trudeau government removed Canadian civil liberties and threw a large number of the Quebecians in jail. Reid explained the rise of the movement and cited current Rene Levesque the premier of Quebec, as the focus for many of its activities. “During the late 1960’s, the social upheavals in Quebec were felt by all of Canada. In 1968, Rene Levesque, a traditional Liberal anti-separatist, launched the Parti Quebecois, behind which many Francophones rallied, Reid said. separatist Levesque was elected to his position in 1976, when the Parti Quebecois took 71 of the 110 seats in Canadian government. Since the election, the conflict has come to a head battles over the federal policy of bilingualism and Social upheaval Demonstrations for - separatism as well as socialism were rampant in the streets of Quebec during recognition of cultural continue to rage. duality : PHOTOCOPYING 8c per copy NO JOB TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL! - • THE SpECTI\IIM J 355 Squire Hall ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••«•• John James Audubon Parkway, located between the Hamilton Entrance and Frontier Road on the Amherst Campus, was opened two weeks ago. According to Vice President for Facilities and Planning John Neal, the new road was ready in August, but could not be opened until traffic lights were installed at the corners of Hamilton and Audubon, and Frontier and Audubon roads. These lights were scheduled to be installed before the Labor Day weekend, but were not due to a manufacturer’s delay in the furfurealelivery. The road facilitates easier access from the Ellicoft Complex to the Academic Spine. Drivers now do not have lo travel all around Ellicott by way of Frontier Road. Bus drivers have already begun using this ‘shortcut’ on their runs from the Ellicott Complex to the Main Street Campus. - . . Off-campus extension Plans show that the Audubon Parkway will encircle the total area of the Academic Spine as well as that of the Governors’ Residence Halls, finally extending to the eastern side of Millersport Highway. According to Director of University Police Lee Griffin, the road will eventually extend off campus to replace Millersport between Maple and North Forest. The entire Parkway, which is being built piecemeal in order not to disrupt the flow of traffic both -on and off campus, was begun five years ago and was scheduled to be finished by this year. The delay resulted from the folding of the Urban Development Corporation (UDC) which was financing road construction. UDC was also to fund a bridge spanning Ellicott Creek, the construction of which has now been taken over by the Department of Transportation. According to Neal, plans for the bridge should be completed in approximately one to two years with construction following soon afterwards. Until the entire Parkway is opened now scheduled for 1982 the recent opening of the section between Hamilton and Frontier “doesn’t do a whole lot,” commented Neal.

The 9; 30 game was totally dominated by the Tinies, who kept the pressure on Puck U goalie Mike Leumer throughout the game. The fist goal for the Tinies was scored from about ten feet out by forward A1 Sweich, The Tinies layed back after the score, especially their goaltender, Jim Calucci. Calucci was caught off guard and was beaten on a soft wrist shot from Puck U’s rightwing Kenny Chen. Mark Ludlow blasted a slap shot by Leumer to put the Tinies back on the winning track where they stayed, pie fine play of Leumer kept his team in the game, even though Puck U was heavily outshot. In the closing minutes, Bob Labin put the game out of Puck U’s reach when he scored twice on Leumer. In other hockey action, The Bionic Men and SUNV Raiders played a game marred by fights, spattered with blood and ending with a bench-clearing brawl. The Bionic Men kept the puck in the Raiders’ end throughout the 11.00 p.m. game and Raider’s goalie George Barone may still be suffering from shell shock. Although the final score was 9-0 in favor of the Bionic Men, a fine effort by Barone kept the score from being much higher. Barone was peppered from the points, plauged by long slap shots and dazzled by defenseman Gene Dudek’s two goals. Dudek assisted on other goals making fine feed passes to team mates in front of the Raider net. Mike Groh, Mike Betz and Mark Allen also contributed two goals each to the efforts, and Henry Ryvacki added a single goal. Bionic Men Joe Vizzi recorded the shutout after facing only sixteen shots. A fine play by a Bionic Men defenseman thwarted the only real scoring opportunity for the Raiders as he blocked the puck with his stick as it was headed past Vizzi for the net. just IBS more point Battle for the playoffs With only three weeks left in the regular season schedule, the National Football League (NFL) playoff picture is no brighter now than it was in September. The fourteenth (but not final) week begins with the seventeen of the twenty-eight teams still in the race for those precious ten playoff spots. So far, four teams seem certain be present when the post season extravagan/a begins on December 24. In the American Football Conference (AFC) New England (10-3) and Pittsburgh (11-2) are almost assured of a first place finish in their respective divisions. Houston (9-4) will probably be one of the wild card teams. In the National Football Conference (NFC), only Los Angeles (10-3) can breathe easy these days. A rundown of each division shows the numerous and confusing possibilities that the NFL playoff rules have wrought. AFC east New England is assured to of some kind of berth in the playoffs. They hold a two game margin over Miami (8-5), and even if the Dolphins were to catch the Patriots, New England would be a wild card team. Miami is very much in the race for the last wild card spot along with the suprising New York Jets (7-6X, AFC Centrals The least confusing of the six NFL divisions. Pittsburgh and Houston are virtually assured of spots. Cleveland (7-6) has a slim chance of stealing the last wild card , The Colleges CORRECTION OF SARA LISTINGS The following courses have been duly approved by the of Undergraduate Division Education Curriculum Committee. Students should ignore the PCA notation on these courses in the current SARA; position. AFC West, Now the fun begins. Three teanis each have a shot at the top spot and the wild card position. Oakland and Denver (both 8-5), are tied for first. Seattle is one game back and very much in the race. This week the Raiders and Broncos square off in Oakland and attempt to break the deadlock. If Oakland, Denver and Seattle tie for first a distinct then only God possibility (kicker for the Saints) and Pete Ro/elle know who will be declared the winner. My outside bets are that the Cinderella Seahawks. by virtue of their two wins over Oakland and one over Denver will be declared the - — CPM 248 CPM 294 (Reg.

The mystery of the West is the key to deciding all ’ the AFC playoff possibilities. If miracles happen and Seattle ends up first, and Miami has a better record than any of the other wild card contenders, the Dolphins will garner the last berth. However, jf Miami and the Jets end up in a tie for second in the East, New York will get the nod since they have defeated the Floridians twice this season, unless Cleveland ties both the Jets and the Dolphins, in which case the Browns will haw the inside track (unless Oakland also ties) as a result of their stingy defense, and the weird NFL playoff procedures. Of course, if Seattle does not finish first, then for the Jets to make the playoffs they must go undefeated while Oakland must beat Denver Sunday, for the Jets have beaten Denver once this season but not Oakland, and Miami, Cleveland and Seattle still must lose one more time. Then again all this conjecture could have no meaning if the Dolphins don’t lose another game. If you are confused, have hope for the NFC is a little easier to explain. * NFC East, Dallas (9-4) has the edge since the Cowboys have a one game lead over Washington and Philadelphia. Even if the Redskins were to tie the Cowboys for first, Dallas would be declared the winner by virtue of their 35-17 victory last week. The Eagles best hope is a wild card berth. NFC Central, Both Minnesota and Green Bay are tied for first wjth 7-5-1 records. Their big battle for first place last week decided nothing as the teams had the gall to play to a 10-10 tie. However, if the Vikes win all their remaining games, or are tied at the end with the Pack, they will take first since they defeated the Green Machine 21-7 earlier in the year. NFC West, The Rams have first virtually sewn up with their 11-3 record. The up and coming Atlanta Falcons (8-5) are very much in the race for the wild card spots. As for the rest of the division, they can kiss this year goodbye. Unlike the AFC, there is no clear cut choice for one of the NFC wild card positions. That leaves Atlanta. Philadelphia and Washington all at (8-5) still in the race. The loser of the Green Bay-Minnesota scramble for first in the Central division has an outside chance, provided that they do not lose again. If the Skins, Falcons and Eagles were to each lose another game, that would give the Pack a wild card berth while leaving the other position up for grabs. If none of the teams lose again, then a coin flip, or some other fair NFL procedure, would decide which two teams would make it out of Philly, Washington and Atlanta. The Second place finisher in the Central would then be out of it. Two key games which will take some of the snow out of the playoff picture take place this Sunday. . Philadelphia will be battling the snow, cold and the Vikings out in Minnesota. Both teams desperately need the victory, or else thcymight find themselves watching the others play come Cluistmas weekend. Meanwhile, Washington will be at home against Miami, again with both teams needing a win. So, with seventeen teams still in the scramble for the world the remaining championship, three weeks will be anything but dull. -Harvey Shapiro • * �i of OdcJg K Remember when we last met, the illustrious Wiz had a miraculous winning percentage of some where around .625.

Robers nip Knucks in basket intramurals Terry Johnson led the Romping Robers to their first intramural basketball win of this season, a 46-35 nipping of the Knucks, on Monday night. The Knucks, playing with only five players, ran out of gas in the fourth quarter, and helplessly watched the Robers open up an insurmountable margin. Johnson scored 24 points for the Romping Robers, dazzling his opponents with a display of his shifty moves. Johnson also dominated the offensive and defensive boards, tearing down 26 rebounds. His individual efforts also resulted in three assists. Teammate Guy Gittens also shattered the Knucks with his offensive punch, scoring 10 points. The remainder of the Romping Robers scoring was done by Ranee Robert and Howard Buff each with four points. Lenny Jones and Keith Kirlew both added two. Tom Dougherty and Buff paced the Romping Robers’ defense with two steals apiece, while Jones had one. Captain Howie Wynn’s play was exceptional for the Knucks in the losing effort. His 7 points accounted for practically half the team’s points despite the fact he didn’t see the ball with any regularity until the second half. Wynn also handed out four assists and two steals. The defensive shutout, for the Knucks was Wayne Rubin. Rubin had five steals, seven points, and four rebounds. Both teams’ records now stand at 1-2. Rugged season is expected for the diminishing wrestling team The U.B, wrestling team begins its defense of last year’s NCAA Division 111 championship today. The Bulls go to Rochester, to participate in the Rochester Tech tournament, in which they have fared very well in the past. Coach Ed Michael has a tough task, as he is faced with a big rebuilding problem. Many Bulls were lost to graduation, including All-American Kirk Anderson (150), Bruce Hadsell (158), Dave Mitchell (177), and Bruce Wheeler (199). The Bulls also suffered a few unexpected defections. Sophomore Mike Jacoutot, an NCAA second place finisher at 126 last year, transferred closer to his New Jersey home for financial reasons. Another sophomore Dave Tundo, a regular last year at 142, decided not to go out for the team this year, as did Senior Chris Ness.

Buffalo will play its first 11 matches on the road, before returning home to face the University of Guelph January 24.

Hunt emphasized that before these rules went into effect calculations were made and car counts were taken to determine lot capabilities adn residential needs. Director of University Housing Madison Boyce agreed and said that he asked his staff to provide viable proposals. “The only proposal was for an additional section designated in P2, but after much discussion by the committee regarding the logistics of the situation the proposal was voted down,” said —continued from page 4— • . • , ” a.

Although membership on this committee is extensive on paper, with all sectors of the University included, attendance at the November meeting was light.

The first dusting of snow swept across the campus Monday to welcome flinching students back from the (SEL), on the Amherst Campus, relocation will mean a costly ‘duplication” of journals already available on Main Street. Why the doubling of materials? Biology and Pharmacy once they Due- to former library director moved from Carey Hall on Main Eldred Smith’s promise of Street, the schools fell out of the Amherst library services for jurisdiction of the Health Sciences Library (HSL) and into the domain of the SEL in the summer of *77. Thus, there are many journals essential to both libraries. The transfer of all Biology and Pharmacy literature to the SEL is impossible, maintained C.K. Huang. Director p.f the Health Sciences Library. The HSL also serves the School of Medicine, Dentistry and other health fields which will stay on Main Street. Most of the journals, he explained, “must be shared.and so can’t be moved.” For instance, genetics can not be assigned solely to Medicine or Biology; it is vital to both. Thus, only those periodicals belonging exclusively to Biology, such as botany journals, will be transfered, said Huang. “ warmth of Thanksgiving. This shot of venerable Hayes Hall standing intrepid in the face of the winter's christening was captured by. The Spectrum's own Buddy Korotkin. Inside: Buses roll full service ahead—P. 5 / Movies—P. 9 / SEL Responsibility The responsibility for renewing these transfered journals and purchasing additional journals lies with the Science and Engineering Library, said SEL director James Webster. Biology and Pharmacy predicted a need of $28,000 for “essential” journals, Webster said, while this year’s funds are resticted to $12,000. ($6,000 was originally allocated; an additional $6,000 was later granted.) A large portion of this meager budget must be spent on periodicals already on the shelves in HSL, he said. According to Director of the University Libraries Saktidas Roy, 75 out of 87 titles at the SEL are duplicates. Only three journals are new titles. About 30 of these journals were obtained from the Bell Collection, said Roy. The Bell Collection was sent to SEL after the University vacated the Bell Facility. The Bell Anthro-research—P. 16 / Facility, senior SEL Assistant Librarian Susan Kroll explained, was used primarily by the Medical School, with much of the material in that library also duplicated by the HSL. Kroll admitted there will be a “gap” in the Bell Collection, since the subscriptions expired in 1977 and the SEL’s subscription does not begin until 1979. Kroll does not foresee ever filling the gap with the 1978 journals because of soaring prices for science journals. She notes that although there has been a ten percent reduction in all other areas served by SEL, such as to Chemistry and Physics, supplement Biology and Pharmacy, the budget is still at a “bare minimum”. Faculty indignation Assistant Cell and Molecular Biology Professor Jeremy Bruenn contends “Library services are terrible out here.” He said that many essential journals are not available to faculty, and that acquisition requests are most often ignored. “We can’t drive four miles everytime we want to see a journal,” he said. .“If it weren’t for our private collections in this department, we’d be helpless.” Bruenn noted that many boxes of transfered material remained packed for several months, awaiting cataloguing. Bruenn believes the reason they are shelved today is only because he “screamed” at Roy about the late unpacking. Sidie, James Assistant Professor in the Division of Environmental and Organismal Biology, agrees with Bruenn. He points out that SEE will not receive any books from HSL, since journals have priority. SEE must buy its own books, but there are yet no definite plans, he said. “By the time they resolve the issue, the material is outdated.” —continued on page 18— Women’s basketball preview—P. 16 �I Carter students, and supported a marijuana smoke-in at the state capitoL invites down government J student body i clown to meetings | but this joke is i no laughing matter Representatives from the United States Student Association, National Student Educational Fund, and Coalition of Independent College and Univcmty Students were shocked when they learned of Mallon’s White House invitation, and fired off a sharp but humorous letter to “Jimmy ‘the High Beluahi’ Carter.’* “A* representatives of student organizations which work day-to-day here in D.C. on all those ‘boring’ details of the rising costs of education and the need for financial aid programs,” the letter went,“ours is only to reason why. Why?” The student leaders listed four possible hypotheses: I by Chip Berlet CHICAGO* IL (CPS) The lei den of three national student organizations have blasted President Carter for inviting a student body president to attend a series of White House anti-inflation - meeting* VnA month., And the reason, says Karon Cox of the National Student Educational Fund, is that “the student leader they invited to the meeting is a clown.” .,. More precisely, it was a clown who ran for president of the student body at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on the “Pail and Shover” platform during campus elections last year. Jim Mallon, a senior in communications, and his running mate, Leon Vaijian, who has spent the last ten years in college, both campaigned in clown costumes. They also made campaign promises to flood the football stadium to stage mock naval battles, convert parking meters to gumball dispensers, and to stuff and mount all college deans. Mallon and Vaijian, elected president and vice president on their Pail and Shovel party, also garnered 29 of the 36 student senate seats. “All the average student cares about is sex, drugs and rock and roll, in that order,” Mallon told Associated Press. The student senate has already funded a toga party that drew 12,000 robed Leftists “I. Your staff was looking for a cross-section pf student leaders, read in the papers about the perenhial election of a “clown” student government running on the “pail and shovel” platform, and was in a hurry to get the anti-inflation meeting together, and thus did not think much about the clown. (Ignorance Hypothesis.) Your staff expected the clown would 2. "shape up” within the imposing aura of the White House. (Best and the Brightest Hypothesis.) 3.

(R-E—L-I-E—F Hypothesis.) 4, The clown has a friend on your White House staff, who owed the clown a favor. (Richard J. Daley Patronage Hypothesis.)” The student leaders suggested that if, in the future, the White House had any trouble finding serious students to attend meetings, “Let us know. Well help you find a student to fit every need.” The letter went on: "If there is anything else we can do (such as staging a food fight in the White House cafeteria), don’t hesitate to call.” “We haven’t received a response back from the White House as yet,” Cox mourned, “but we hope they’ll think twice before inviting another clown to the White House, at least someone who actually admits to being a clown, that is.” - Special to The Spectrum S - - — . \ in hiding Political ‘shift to right’ seen as poor perception of reality Jby Dr. Richard Meiaier Special to The Spectrum ANN ARBOR, Ml. (CPS) What’s going on here, explains Congressman California Ron Dellums, is the spectacle of a bunch of confused political - reading of political reality. Dellums told a University of Michigan crowd here that even a wrong perception wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t intimidating leftist politicians. He says the general belief that the country is in the midst of a right- wing revival is causing politicians on the left to diyd for cover. “They’re hiding under the cover of’ conservative rhetoric.” As a result, they’re not working to preserve much less propagate madness.” Enormous sums of money, he continues are spent to “We blacks were fighting to get into the system while there were all these white kids the hippies moving to and flower children spare does not Dellums President Carter any blame. “He California to drop out of it.” Dellums, apparently a curious went to talk sort, to the on the offensive.

(CCRS) The 20 residents of the Taft Apartment building here got tired of living with cockroaches. They also tired of having no hot water - and having to leave their windows open to regulate the heat. So the 20, mostly University of Washington students, formed the Taft Tenants Union and began a rent strike. Mary Barrand of the Union says that since the strike began in August the owner had hired a new manager to break up the strike. “He has broken windows in the building and has refused to pay the bills, so the water was shut off," says Barrand. She added that the residents paid the bill so their water would be turned back on. Before the residents of the Taft decided to join forces, the owner was able to duck requests for building repairs. He even served eviction papers on seven residents who tried their own rent strike. Now, residents have become allied with the Seattle Tenants Union and have received major local media coverage in their fight for better living conditions.

Blumberg and Robbins’ advice comes at the end of their evaluation of what may one day — be law. a nationwide landlord-tenant The Uniform Residential Landlord-Tenant Act (ULTRA) was drafted by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws at its annual conference in August, 1972.

In an article for the Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review (Winter 1976), Richard E. and Blumberg Brian Quinn Robbins advise tenants to join together in tenant’s unions to increase their bargaining power against landlords. Blumberg and Robbins write,' “Whereas one tenant withholding rent is vulnerable, an entire Schwartz said that landlord-tenant law came from which law feudal common of promises included no building participating in a rent a habitability. “It was pretty much ‘You have premises, I have no obligations* by the landlord,” said the Schwartz.

The program was established by the Public Service Commission (PSC) after utility shut-offs resulted in the deaths of two elderly Buffalo residents last winter. Under the new program, utilities must personally contact during October and November all of their customers who have had service cut-off during that year. A specially trained representative of the utility must then determine if that customer is competent enough to handle their own affairs or is suffering from any hardships or handicaps. If so* the utility must then turn the case over to the State Department of Social Services. The state may then pay the utility bill or provide counseling and services to the customer suffering the hardship or handicap. But CA’s Co-Director Kenneth Sherman said, “We have had a hard time trying to get an accurate picture of the number of Western New York heating customers facing this winter without heat. We have yet to establish whether disconnected customers are getting the payments arrangement that take into account their financial ability to pay.” CA’s new statewide director, Gordon M. Boyd, met with participants in a Crisis Intervention Workshop held at the Fillmore-Leroy Community Center on Tuesday. The workshop was designed to assist neighborhood workers in counseling residents who are in danger of being shut-off or have been shut-off. “If we find it necessary, we will join the National Labor/Citizen’s Energy Coalition action to file with the PSC for a total ban on winter shut-offs,” said Boyd. CA is a statewide non-profit organization formed to meet the energy needs of low and moderate income people. Andre Kole ‘entertains’ again—| Connecticut students cry fraud j by Elena Cacavas Campus Editor After disillusioning UB students in September by transforming a magic show into a r-ligious sermon, illusionist Andre Kole ventured to the University of Connecticut to again deliver what was “the ultimate unusual advertised as in entertainment.” The Spectrum learned Monday that Kole’s controversial performance, sponsored by the Campus Crusade for Christ International, (CCC1) was not restricted to this University. Having appeared at UB on September 19, the magician performed one week later for University ofConnecticut students. Kole, himself a member of the ministry, became the target of fiery criticism this September from UB students who felt they were the victims of “false advertisement.” Maintaining that posters made no mention of a religiously oriented program, but sold the show by offering an “elaborate two-hour stage production presenting the fantasy and reality of the supernatural world,” students were dismayed to find one hour of-magic and one hour of “preaching.” —continued on page 18— TV blamed as a major cause in illiteracy issue by Elena Cacavas Campus Editor Efforts to dissect the problem of college students unable to produce coherent, orderly written expression hae -pointed nervous at . television, family student structure, teachers, apathy and 20th century culture. “Television!” is the most common cry when the villian in college illiteracy is pursued.

Noting that most TV conflicts are resolved within 30 minutes, Reynolds maintained that network programming leaves students with the impression that “real life” problems can be solved in the same amount of time. “TV,” Reynolds concluded, “gives our students fairly low-level things to ponder.” She added that without practice students are not likely to tackle complex logical problems. 93I^O jo suojssjoipv 9 spjcoay 111 111M I III 11 II II iiiiiiiiiiiiiin 111111111111111 11 < I I I 11111 MM I ( 111 MM M M > M llilillllllil ilium I I MM.

The brilliant, outspoken and insightful anthropologist has left a legacy rich with contributions to the understanding of man and his nature. Mead turned her intelligence and her energy to the study of personality and culture, psychoanalytic theory, mental health, the generation gap, and education. She published many books and articles," and presented countless lectures at colleges and universities throughout the nation. She began at Columbia.University. earning a doctoral degree in 1929 quite a feat for a woman of that era. Mead then embarked upon what was to become a landmark study of children in Samoa, focusing on the psychological and cultural development of adolescent girls. Her career blossomed; she followed her interests to cross-cultural comparisons of American and foreign ways of life, combining tenets - from many social science disciplines. Mead made her mark as a feminist long before it was popular. An inspiration to many, the anthropologist forged her success in a predominantely male field at a time when working women were highly discriminated against.

College officials are not yet sure if the $100,000 in estimated damages is covered wholly by the insurance policy, or if state emergency and private funding will be a needed. The fire erupted at 6:16 pm, just two hours before the scheduled opening of “The Legacy,” a public presentation. Planetarium director James R. Orgren met with insurance company representatives Monday. A full financial assessment is not yet available, as officials have been unable to locate the written policy from Albany, as the agent for that account is presently on vacation. The fire started in a small 35mm projector, which was considered accessory equipment. The exact cause of the projector fire, whether electrical or mechanical, is uncertain. Orgren is optimistic about potential rebuilding of the planetarium, yet according to Buffalo State director of Public Affairs, Joyce Fink, much assessment is needed before a date can be projected. Officials are awaiting a visit of the Spitz Lab of Pennsylvania, she said, to determine whether parts of the equipment can be salvaged or if entire machines must be replaced. The insurance policy must be evaluated to see if the dome of the planetarium is considered part of the building and thus covered under the policy. Administrative and public support has been enthusiastic, said Orgren, adding that he has received many sympathetic phone calls and letters both from students and community members. Fund raising procedures are under discussion, he said, and the possibility of private contributions.

Ketter is on the reappointment trail, then tonight's address before the Graduate Student Association Senate may be his an important indicator of things to tome in New Hampshire primary his quest to retain the University's Presidency. If he is not, then Squire Hall's Fillmore Room will merely set the tone of the student rights battle for the year and a halt remaining in Ketter's term. And if he is on the fence, then the results of the GSA confrontation may be a key factor in his upcoming decision. In any event, the meeting should be an interesting renewal of the sometimes hostile clashes between students and Ketter that led to two "no confidence" votes last spring and woke the President up to the need for some public image among students other than bathroom v graffiti. / I would like to express a grievance relating to 11/20/78 drawing of a pregnant woman beside an abortion article. The drawing was by Bernstein and it appeared on the front page of The Spectrum. The drawing or “art”, was, to elicit some type of emotional feeling out of the student body about the abortion issue. Or, was it? I see no reasonable justification for having this artwork beside this article. Numerous pervious stories dealing with abortion, had no visual aids associated with them Why did this one have it? Was The Spectrum suddenly noticied that the student body of UB would be unable to comprehend an article on abortion without a visual stimulus. Or, was the drawing itself v “a work of art”? Personally. 1 found the drawing disgusting and the — Public addresses before represenative bodies like the GSA Senate are still events, rather than standard procedure, but Ketter has made a meeting with conscious effort to be more visible on campus freshmen at summer orientation, re establishing open office hours and bringing back the WBpO talk show. Student leaders say he is more affable this year at closed door meetings and he has even been more all of which is certainly not cause polite to The Spectrum's reporters for alarm (or congratulations), but does hiat at some change in offensive. Further, it was biased. The “picture” was of a woman close to due date, birth. By law. don’t abortions have to occur before three months have passed (disregarding special circumstances)? Why is the drawing there then. Does it imply pregnancy beautiful and abortion bad? I don’t believe a pregnant woman is a vision of beauty. 1 may hold this belief becuase I have not been a father yet. No girlfriend of mine has had to resort to an abortion either. Regardless, of my personal opinion about “beauty” in a pregnant woman, there is no clear justification for the drawing’s appearance. The SUNYAB students probably are aware of what pregnancy is, and the figure of a pregnant woman is equally known. Thank you, but we don’t need'any pictures, drawings, or art-work about pregnancy. Louis Vrzovski — Kenneth Johnson conviction To the Editor — Your coverage of Third World Week activities (The Spectrum, November 20, 1978) contained an important mistake that may confuse people. Though it is understandable that your reporters, having seen and listened to Kenneth Johnson, thought that he was acquitted of a rape charge, the fact is that he was convicted, sentenced to a 5-15 prison term, and is currently free on $30,000 bail pending his appeal to the New York Court of Appeals. While an ever-growing number of people afe recognizing that not only is Kenneth Johnson undeniably innocent, but that he is also the type of dynamic community leader that our society should be supporting rather than jailing, the ugly fact of his June 1977 conviction remains. That conviction was arrived at by an all-white suburban Jury which had been bullied by “an overbearing prosecutor obsessed with the idea of obtaining a conviction at'all costs, ignoring the court’s rulings, deliberately asking improper and prejudicial questions, and engaging in unpardonable efforts in comments during the trial and in summation to disparage defense counsel and to destory his credibility with the jury” (People vs. Johnson dissenting opinion in the Appellate Division). And it was arrived at by a display of racism that was revealing to anyone who thought the tactic of framing black men- on charges of raping white women belonged only to the old south. Your reporters’ mistake illustrates one of the most dangerous strength or the legal system we live with. Whilst serving to prevent any movement for radical social change this legal system cloaks its repression in the clothes of reasonability. Thus, rather than charging Kenneth Johnson with being a militant community leader it charges him with rape. Rather than accusing the hundreds of thousands of poor people in prison with waging war against the system which enslaves them, the legal system charges attitude. Tonight, we will see how deep that attitude runs. Will it remain an insincere attempt to divert criticism that he is an insulated, disagreeable man? Or will it mean a change in thinking that begins to see the GSA's grievances as legitimate concerns deserving an honest approach? We will give Ketter the benefit of the doubt and say that either is possible. But candor will remain the key word. The most telling student criticism of Ketter is that he has simply not been honest. He deliberately clouds issues with his '"my hands are tied" speech andJs more than willing to shift responsibility (and the heat) to subordinates, leading exasperated students to finally ask - just what does the President have responsibility for? In response Ketter has owned up to the duties Of drafting a mission statement and precious little else. Of course, students have the responsibility to come prepared with a firm knowledge of the issues and an honest appreciation for the complexity of many problems the University faces. y The recommendations of the TA/GA Committee, which were endorsed by Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn, have not been implemented as Ketter promised. Ketter's self-proclaimed sympathy toward demands that the doors of decision-making be opened has netted students very little. There is no evidence that the GSA's citicism of Bunn's Academic Plan which, rather than standing alone, actually reflects a number of widely-held reservations within the fauclty will be taken seriously when Ketter evaluates the document. And the University Still rolls along with a poorly defined and marginally effective affirmative action plan, despite state laws and local rhetoric urging the opposite. These are the issues Ketter must confront with the knowledge that he cannot: a) fool or b) placate the grad students with his typically evasive replies. And, considering the President's penchant for long-winded, circularly-routed answers that recite, rather than resolve, the conflict, we feel the GSA erred in asking Ketter to address nine distinct issues, some of which are certainly less crucial than others. Ketter is quite skilled at avoiding the real concerns and to force him to address so many different topics is to invite a host of end runs on marginally important issues like lighted parking lots. Candor and conflict. The President must use the former to address the latter if he has any hopes of winning the respect of this Univeristy's students. They have seen too much of Robert L. Ketter to accept anything less. : — — To the Editor: A fault of college life Which many students are quick to point out is the distinction between it and the “real world”. However, students’ desires concerning this are consistent with basic human nature; that is, they want the best of both worlds”. Students want the knowledge that they gain through their courses to apply to “real world” situations, so as to benefit them when they enter the working world. However, during this same time that they are attending school, they want to receive benefits that are not, and will not be available to The Spectrum Editor-in-Chief them with common crimes. This sophisticated deception serves to blind people to the reality of what is happening. How easy to defend the political rights of a community organizer! How hard to defend an accused rapist! And it is hard to defend against a rape charge when, as with Kenneth Johnson, you-»nderstand the importance of women organizing to fight against rape and against a society which encourages and romanticizes rape. Anyone who listened to the victim in the Johnson case describe her ordeal must have been revolted by the pain and degradation she was forced to endure. Support for Kenneth Johnson does not involve minimizing the horror of her experience. Rather, by understanding Johnson’s trial and conviction as an act of political repression it becomes clear that support for Kenneth Johnspn and support for hte rights of women are not antagonistic. Because we could be excited by Kenneth Johnson’s eloquence at Third World Week it'is easy to forget that he may well, in a few weeks, be put into a prison where he will remain for at least five years. Because Governor Carey “closed the book on Attica” it is easy to forget that Dacajeweiah (John Hill) is in prison now, and may well be in prison for the rest of his life. Are we so naive that we will believe the very institutions and people that repress us? Kenneth Johnson cannot forget his conviction. It is hard to sustain the indignation ahd outrage we feel at the arrest of an innocent man. But it is as important to support Kenneth Johnson today as it was on December 3, 1975 when he was beaten and arrested by police and the long road of his frame-up began. John L. Stainthorp Editor’s note: We apologize for not taking the necessary care in reporting on Kenneth Johnson’s legal status. We hope this thoughtful letter clears things up.

Whew!!). maturity is selling your soul as a good party man and thus not recognizing the utter famine from which your city suffers; i.e., not one viable indoor community recreation and social center where comnunity members can escape the inactivity and inertia of winter.

Name withheld president, lectures Carey, Legislature middle-income and low-income lamilies. Over half of the New York state residents enrolled in SUNY have net taxable incomes under 512,000. An Open Letter to Governor Carey and the Members of the State Legislature We love New York State and we know you do too! We’re proud of SUNY and the national and international reputation it has gained in its short thirty years of existence. As the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education so aptly put it “New York is the state most watched by other states for new direction in higher learning.” And we are particularly proud of the largest unit in SUNY our own University at Buffalo proud of its giant contributions of the past and keenly aware of its tremendous potential for the economic, cultural and educational rebirth of the whole western half of our — - state. With positive thinking and actions by you, the executive and legislative leaders of our State, we can make SUNY the finest system of public higher education in the country and by completing the half-finished Amherst campus we can make it a model for the nation. What a boost this would be for the morale of New Yorkers and what an opportunity for nation-wide prominence and acclaim for our educational system. But it will require some changes in your priorities for it" was with utter disbelief and dismay that we noted the recent allocation by you of some sixteen million dollars for the luxury of a domed stadium at Syracuse University (a private institution) while our own UB students do not even have basic facilities for physical education, recreation or intramural activities much less buildings for adequate classes, books, etc. Let’s, stop being indifferent to SUNY let’s stop being on the defensive! Let’s become its biggest booster and support its mission to the community. The rewards will be many-fold. Let’s proudly publicize these facts: 1. SUNY is a state-wide network of campuses which brings higher education within commuting distance of most citizens of the State. Its geographic accessibility and low cost have provided a channel for thousands of talented young people to bypass — — — economic barriers. Though only thirty years in existence it has already produced some 605,000 graduates. It prepares students with a wide range of backgrounds for careers in a diversity of fields. Student enrollment in the fall of 1977 was 343,946, categorized in the following fields: 43,211 Business 23,6fe6 Education 28,113 6,831 19,452 Engineering Agriculture and Forestry Social and Behavioral Public Science (including Criminal Justice and Police Science) 19,100 785 Law Health Sciences 20,646 4. The Myth of Higher Cost in Educating at SUNY in Comparison to Private college: In the March, 1978 edition of “The Higher Education System of New York State,” the State Education Department provided statistics affirming its consistently held position that there are little, if any, significant differences in the costs of providing education in public and private institutions, if one uses comparable programs and comparable institutions. .In a comparison of fifteen colleges and universities, the Department found that the average cost per student was $3,110. Using the same data formula the State University compared expenditures at its ten established Colleges of Arts and Sciences and arrived at an average cost per student of $2,885. 5. SUNY’s costs for professional schools are lower than national average. What significantly drives up the cost of higher education ip the public sector are the professional schools. These are among the most expensive to maintain but we must point out that SUNY’s costs are lower than the average of public and private institutions. Medical schools top the list but the public service mission of medical schools impose this as part of higher education. And we must also stress that the state budget regarding medical schools includes the costs of operation of hospitals and patient care in some instances. SUNY prepares more physicians and nurses than any other university in the country and a significant percentage of those studying in the health professions in New York attended SUNY. A total of 20,646 SUNY students were in some phase of health care training in — — • 1977. SUNY, too, has educated a significant percentage of health professionals prepared in New York State one third of the dentists and pharmacists and nearly ninety-nine of the optometrists and veterinariaiis. Former Governor DeWitt Clinton, one of New York’s most distinguished governors, said (and his quote graces the Education Building in Albany); “The primary purpose of the state is the education of its young.” But is New York filling this commitment today? _ Undergraduate diplomas and Associate First Professional Graduate Certificates TOTAL 2,501 31,498 941 348 70,639 2.

SUNY’s authorized positions and overall work force, exclusive of hospital personnel, are significantly lower than in 1975 and 1976. The Paradox While New York State has skimped on SUNY (and particularly on the Amherst campus of the University of Buffalo), it ranks number one in the nation in state aid to private colleges. The Bundy Aid program, which provides funds to private institutions for students they graduate, gave $68,434,290 to ninety institutions in 1978 an increase of $1,400,000 over the preceding year. - Here’s the breakdown for 1977-1978: Money Spent Associate’s Degree 2,110 Participants B.A. 41,016 Participants — - M.A. 26,645 Participants Phh.D. 3,827 Participants Medical/Dental Schools 5,616 Participants Capital Construction to Private Colleges Private Schools Medical School — — — 696,300 38,555,040 17,319,250 11,863,700 11,500,000 2,700,000 1,500,000 Expansion Aid — • National Comparison Of New York and Other States Of the Bundy money dispersed by the state of New York to its private colleges, twenty-five percent was for out-of-state residents. The T AP Program Payments to private college students at all levels in 1977-1978 totalled $119,249,000. This represents about forty-five percent of a total TAP budget of $240,000,000. Summary Figures show that our great Empire State ranks twenty-seventh in the am mt per capita spent for higher education $71.82 per capita. Alaska leads the field with $176.27 followed by Hawaii, Wyoming and California (S106.SS). New York slips to thirty-seventh positioii nationwide in appropriations per $1000 of personal income with an average of $10.23. The state of Utah — leads with $17.83. Students received the following degrees and other formal awards in 1976-1977 from our State University: 26,884 Bachelor’s 7,703 Master’s 764 Doctorates certificates backroom deals. In conclusion, it’s thus the Mayor’s hope that we will mature into responsible, mature citizens who will sell their soul for our own personal gain, lead an adult life of convoluted morality, ethics and reasoning and become nice, empty organizational And New York sinks to a dismal 45th place on the national list in increased appropriations over the two-year period 1976 to 1978. The average in the in New York, nation was twenty-two percent fourteen percent. In this highly technological age, is this wise? — SUNY’s Tuition High for a Public University Tuition at SUNY ranks seventh highest in the United States amohg public universities in'the United States. At an average nine-hundred forty-five dollars, it is only lower than Pennsylvania, Vermont, New Hampshire, Michigan, Connecticutt and New Jersey. As an aside, the income generated by SUNY New York’s giving a hefty $187,633,000 to its private colleges and institutions in 1977-1978 is approximately one-third of what all other states in the nation combined gave to their private colleges! In essence. New York gave about forty percent more than Illinois, more than fifty percent more than Pennsylvania, six times more than Ohio, eight times more than California. It was about one hundred times the national average. The facts and figures really speak for themselves. So Governor Carey and Members of the Legislature, as you look at the whole picture, please be fairer with SUNY (in particular with Amherst’s half-finished campus). Let’s get more in line with other states in the nation which make public education a symbol of their states’ greatness. Our private colleges need and deserve our and your support but not at the expense of our State LIniversity, the most visible national and international symbol of our State’s well-being and .foresight. - Sincerely, Phyllis M. Kelly �feedback •-a Re; the article in the November 15 The Spectrum on “Ethics in Experiments Urged by Animal Protection Institute”. The article goes on to say that research involving animals is usually unwarranted or unnecessary. 1 don’t agree with this article. I am currently involved with research/laboratory animal care. No lab that uses animals would expect any type of recognition without the accreditation of the American Association for Accreditation or Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC), and most technicians who do the bulk of the “hands on” work with the animals are certified by the American Laboratory Assoication of Animat Science (AALAS). can be certified by AALAS, pass a written exam dealing with the use, care, diseases, nutrition, physiology and psychology of the common laboratory animals, including mice, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, cats, dogs, rhesus monkeys, and perhaps a few more, such as rabbits and goats. Following the written exam, if passed, the potential technician must pass a practical exam, in which techniques in handling and restraint must be proved to the instructor. And, the trick in the restraint is another person must be able to physically work on the animal, and the rcstrainer and the assistant must not be in danger of being bit or scratched, and the animal must not be injured in any way by the person holding it.

As far as the mistreatment of arfimals .in the labs, AAALAC, AALAS, United States government, the National Institute of Health all make surprise inspections to every facility in the United States. Any form of mistreatment, including having an animal room set at the wrong temperature, the lighting cycle off the rigid standards may jeopardize that facility’s integrity and license to operate. This past summer I worked at Rockerfeller University in Manhattan at the Laboratory Animal Research Center in the capacity of technician. It was very interesting to see all that we learned put into practice, and there was no room for mistakes, or any desire to be cruel to any of the animals. Belton P. Mouras seems to believe that cancer research, where the bulk of the animals are used at Rockerfeller, can be done without living animals. Unfortunately, you can’t have a living cell outside of a living animal for extended lengths of time. And, a large part of our training as Lab Animal Technicians does deal with the humane treatment and caring of GSA — Senate Meeting Wednesday, November 29th at 7:30pm in the Room Squire Hall Fillmore - ALL WELCOME - - animals. After all, a sick, depressed animal is useless in research. A lot of hours are spent just playing with them, especially dogs and cats* and a lot of effort is made to treat a sich animal. If research was as cruel as Mouras says, why would the top items on the list of things that had to be purchased for the animals be; food, bedding, and salaries to clean up after them?

Military Intelligence belteve To the Editor. Steve Bartz and Jay Rosen’s “Traces of FBI, CIA Spying Still on Campus,” The Spectrum, 11/20/78 contains errors of fact and of interpretation which should be corrected. The article states; “Powell believes the FBI keeps a closer eye on right wing extremists than on academic Marxists such as himself. The FBI is more interested in Bob Ketter than F.d Powell.” This passage implies that Bob Ketter is a right wing extremist and I am an academic Marxist which is neither true nor — relevant. But 1 did say to The Spectrum reporter Steve Bart?.: the surveillance of radicals may be only a pretext for the surveillance of the conservatives who occupy positions of institutional power, e.g. college presidents, government officials, judges, union leaders, media executives, even bankers. The Secret Police {SP) i.e. the intelligence apparatus consisting of the FBI, CIA, Ml, DFA. NSA, SS, LEAA, LEIU, IRS plus city and state “red squads” compiled dossiers on perhaps 25 million Americans. Between 1938 and 1978 the FBI accumulated 8 million pages of documents on the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) whose membership rarely exceeded 2,000 people. Communist Party membership during the same period probably averaged around 10,000 people in a country of — — ... 200 million. Not even Intelligence People are stupid enough to believe this thimbleful of “commies” is going to overturn the country. But the hunt for subversives justified the creation of a Secret Police machine which became the invisible government and the real power in America circa 1963-1973. The SP keeps files on every Congressman and Senator in Washington, as first revealed by Representative Bill Meyer (D-Vermont) in 1962. A critic of the War in Laos even before it had spread to Vietnam, Meyer was defeated for re-election by the SP. After the release of the Media, Pennsylvania FBI documents procured by anti-war activists. Congressman Hale Boggs compared the FBI to the Nazi SS and the Russian KGB and demanded a congressional investigation and the resignation of J. Edgar Hoover. Boggs was Democratic majority leader in the House and his demands were supported by Mike Mansfield in the Senate. Deputy Attorney General Richard Kleindienst counter-charged that Boggs was “either sick or not in possession of his faculties (see New York Times, April 6, 7, 1971 ). Some time later Boggs was killed in a plane crash in Alaska. Later still, Kleindienst was indicted and convicted in Watergate scandals. Boggs was not a radical. Victor Berger was the last radical to sit in Congress and he was expelled in 1919. But the secret agencies built for the surveillance of radicals have remained to ensnare the moderates.

So common has its use become that the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare convened a special meeting this spring to exchange opinions on the drug and investigate how to deal with it. The drug is PCP: Its generic (chemical) name is phencyclidine, and it is better know to users as “angel dust” “mist,” “crystal,” “hog,” and several other colorful nicknames. However, PCP by any other name would be as dangerous and unpredictable. First synthesized in 1956 by Parke, Davis and Co. for use as an anesthetic, PCP was found to be. effective enough but also able to produce unpleasant side effects. In 1963 it was marketed under the trade name “Sernyl,” but because of its potential for bizarre side effects, ranging from delirium to agitation to visual distortions, was deemed unacceptable for human use, PCP appeared again commercially in 1967 as “Semylan,” and sold “for veterinary use only.” Its first appearance on the streets was during the summer of 1967 in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury District. Having almost disappeared from street use for several years, PCP re-appeared again suddenly in the mid-seventies. At present only one company in the U.S. has the rights for production of PCP, which is sold commercially only as an animal tranquilizer. Its recreational use is now so widespread that PCP ranks along with alcohol as one of America’s most severe drug problems. A white powder readily soluble in water,. PCP can be snorted, pressed into capsules and tablets for swallowing, and, rarely, injected into the bloodstream. The most Common way of putting the drug into one’s system is to sprinkle it on marijuana or tobacco for smoking. Individual reactions to PCP are varied and totally unpredictable. Though most users report a pleasant high upon first taking it, the drug can and often does provide a bad trip. PCP is believed to act on specific areas of the brain which control sensation and perception, and usage can cause hallucinations and loss of muscular control. In low doses, PCP often mimics alcohol intoxication: high dose reactions can resemble symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. Other reactions include lack of muscular coordination, muscular rigidity, numbness and loss of sensation, and loss of contact with one’s environment. Large doses of PCP can produce severe convulsions, coma, and death. Primarily produced in illegal garage and basement laboratories, PCP is probably, aside from marijuana, the most commonly-used drug on the streets today. Since it is often sprinkled on marijuana, there is the danger that the grass one has bought may contain added PCP. However, in the many drug-analyses of locally-bought marijuana done through Sunshine House, not one example of PCP-cut marijuana has been found. It is our belief that educating oneself on the use and effects of PCP will alert the potential user to the many dangers associated with Its use.

Library hours were shortened one hour from the usual 10:45 p.m. closing time to 9:45 p.m. when Blue Bird curtailed bus service to 11 p.m. Buses normally run till 12:30 a.m. on weekends, yet because of the strike, UGL weeknights and 2 a.m. on weekends, yet because of the strike, UGL student workers, many of whom live at Main Street, could not work the late hours without stranding themselves at Amherst. Hours were not shortened at ' - - either Lockwood or Health Science libraries. The resumption of full library services concludes a stormy month-long period during which students were without late night transportation between campuses. Many restricted their inter-campus travel while others took the risk and sometimes lost. Stranded students wither hitched a ride home, caught a ride with University Police or slept at a friend’s house if a friend was available . “It was a - hassle all the way around,” commented Goodyear Hall Head Resident Tony Niger.

We feel this is the impetus we need to show the students at UB we are working for their interests.” In addition to the soon-to-be installed lockers on the Amherst Campus, 78 lockers have been added to Squire Hall on the Main Street Campus. Although the lockers are not yet in use, the University Division of Student Affairs along with the Commuter Council would like to convert these lockets into the “for coin-operated variety, everyone’s use”, said Weckerle. �| TV blamed as major cause... —continued from pa«* 3— in the 1970* with minimal course and requirements."

But many English professors are hesitant to accept responsibility for what they see as “remedial” instruction. And there is evidence that are they unqualified to do so. A 197S English Journal survey of 32 in institutes preparatory Wisconsin showed that the teaching program standard provided its graduates with 27 credits in literature, 3 credits in the structure of the English language, 3 and credits in composition. Teachers ill prepared Argued Stephen Dunning in the Journal, . Basic literacy hasn’t been our central aim as English teachers. Few of us are “ .. prepared to teach English from a passionate interest in the basic skills.” Most English majors are interested in literature he said, “Those entrusted to nuture his the students talents are not primarily inclined to do so.” Dunning went so far as to state, “We the teachers avoid issues of literacy, so far as we can, employing such circumventions as reading labs, writing labs, and developmental reading programs.” In his paper, What College Writert Need to Know, Director of the Learning Center here, Charles Cooper, concludes, “Much of the teaching of composition in American is high schools essentially neurotic activity.” Identifying secondary education as a student’s sole preparation for writing,” ‘‘advanced college Cooper writes that, ‘They -the teachers have too many students, they lack information, and they were not trained as — writers or writing teachers.” And there is the lack of written themselves. assignments Said Gordon, “1 suspect that the problem has to do partly with the fact that students do not write much throughout their lives.” She blamed the lack of writing practice on objective tests. - — - EARN OVER 650A MONTH RIGHT THROUGH YOUR SEMORYEAR. $ - Students also blamed According to Reynolds, “Professors are not requiring term papers. They’re giving multiple-choice tests because, frankly, it’s a lot easier to grade them.” James Kinneavy, a Texas University English professor, cited a basic unfamiliarity with words, as “a deficiency that has led to the deterioration of structure and logic in college writing.” But American educators are not the only ones to blame says UB composition instructor Marcie Sherman. She cited student indifference about their own writing incompetencies. “They don’t seem to care,” she said. Adding however that there was no real reason to feel differently “Students read that they are illiterate and they feel, ‘why exert any effort to change the situation?’ Sherman said. Another school of thought maintains that students are unaware of what their problems are and therefore cannot make efforts toward correction. Gordon said, that, at the Writing Place, rarely is there agreement on what students feel they need and what tutors believe the problem is. She attributed this unawareness to students’ ignorance of the writing process itself. ... ” If you’re a junior or a senior majoring in math, physics or engineering, the Navy has a program you should know about.

Return to basics A somewhat abstract explanation for today’s generation of semi-literates was offered by Sartisky. In the passivity-of the seventies Sartisky said, “people are largely, deprived of the capability to participate,” and thus lose the need to examine their reasoning, to analyze and to criticize their own thought processes. The analytical frame of mind necessary for examination is also vital to coherent writing, ( Sartisky reasoned. Amidst the many supposed of today’s literacy problem, a general call for a “return to basics” pervades the public scene. In a 1976 address R.R. Allen stated, “Parents, school boards, and often pupils demand that stop schools experimenting and get back to basics in reading, writing, and arithmetic, and standards of behavior to boot.” Wade also commented on this theory “Many cried out for these basic skills, declaring that getting back to the ‘old ways’ was better. Many said that to only teach writing, as a whole, was anachronistic.” Next: Proposed Remedies. agents — ... lonely?

Cudeck recently offered a reward for the return of a missing carpet in Spaulding Cafeteria. The $25 reward was given to three members of the TKE fraternity, who recovered the carpet that had been soiled and cut into five pieces. The only clues that University Police have in the case, according to Cudeck, are markings on the carpet which reveal the way furniture was arranged in the room where carpet was placed. Focus on three aspects Anthro researchers search for true nature of human species by Mary Kay Fisch Spectrum Staff Writer The nature of the human species. That’s what professors in the Department of Anthropology are searching for. Or rather, the essence of the nature of the human species. To no small one at that accomplish this feat researchers are focusing on three aspects; Culture, archaeology and physical anthropology. Frederic Gearing, researching the cultural aspect of anthropology, has been using videotapes fo study patterns of human interaction. By studying the “split second when people interact,” he said, “one Evolutionary Questions can pick out messages upon messages.” The most On an island off the coast of Puerto Rico, Professor Christine Anthropology obvious message is verbal, he explained, but body Associate motion, especially eye contact, is also telling.

Last week a couch, table and chairs were removed from a locked storage room near Spaulding Cafeteria, he reported. The door lock has been picked and the only item recovered was the couch, found in a doorway. “Evidently,” said Cudeck, “it could not have been brought through the doorway.” Cudeck is disgusted with the way students treat the dormitory furniture. To date, thousands of dollars worth of damage has been done to lounge furniture, and Cudeck believes that an incalculable amount of lounge furniture is sitting in students’ rooms. “Lounges are empty and students are complaining about inadequate facilities,” noted Cudeck, reporting that students call him at home on weekends when they want to use lounges for parties and complain about the lack of furniture. Cudeck’s only response to this is that every lounge had ample furniture when the semester began. Until he receives reports of where fumtiure is located, there is nothing he can do to improve the situation, he said. There are approximately 150 Resident Advisors (RA) living in the UB dorms. According to Cudeck, it is the RA’s job to investigate the situation and find out who has taken the lounge furniture for an individual room. Residents would then be given a 24-hour warning to remove it. If the student does not cooperate, it is the duty of the RA to report the violators to the University Housing Office, which will send custodians to collect the furniture and return it to its rightful place. Students will receive a $10 charge for everjr piece of furniture found in their room. Cudeck believes that one solution to the continuing problem of damaged and missing furniture would be to ensure that all lounge furniture remains in the lounge. Ellicott South Area Coordinator Rhys Curtis is also concerned with the problem of dorm vandalism. Curtis is currently forming a committee that will look into the situation. “Hopefully we will find a solution,” he said.

The sophomore is rejoined by juniors Jeanne Brereton and Elizabeth Krantz and second year player Soyka Dobush. Of the six freshman on the squad, four ohave potential starting line up positions. But despite the inexperience of the freshman and three other debut players, Coach Elizabeth Cousins feels the team should fare better than .last, year’s squad which produced a 7-12 record. “We have plenty of height and hustle, extremely quick guards and very solid defense this year.” Cousins explained. “I think with the returning members mixed with my recruits, we may not have the depth but we definitely have the talent.” Plenty of talent lies in freshman guard Robin Diiimage from Morristown, N Y. Cousins predicted the playmaker will be one of the best point guards in the area with her strong, smart, passing and aggressive defense. Krantz will be the other guard continuing her thievery on the court, which began last year when she was second on the squad in steals one thing I have to rely on along with their defense.” Because of the inexperience of the players, Cousins expects the usual rookie mistakes to be numerous and something that will only be cured with playing time.

Coach Jane Poland thinks the Royals have the potential to be even better than last year’s squad which posted a won 95, lost 4 mark in dual and tournament competition, and placed third in the National - - Collegiate Championships at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Co-captains are returning seniors Sue Fulton who was voted UB’s Most Outstanding Woman Athlete in 1977-78 and Cindy Coburn, the recipient of the Dorothy M. Haas Scholarship last year. Fulton and Cobum will be contending for the last time in the prestigious tourneys they have ejther placed in or won throughout their outstanding careers. Their titles combined include the New YOrk State Championships, the West Virginia Tournament, National Doubles Champions and the Western New York Invitational. Other letter winners back on the team are Marylee Braniecki, Mary , Anne Buboltz and Terry Strassel. Newcomers include two transfers from Erie Community College (ECC), Gail Simmons and Lori Mostoller, who could fill the No. 3 and 4 slots on the team. The Royals will be traveling again this season to the Arizona State Tournament Invitational at Las Vegas, Nevada, whefe they placed third last year in the overall Team Event. In assessing her team’s chances this season, Coach Poland stated, “We have the potential to be as good as last year, or better because we have more experience with the ECC transfers.” * • • • * pm * The women’s basketball team opened their season with a scrim against ECC last Tuesday. Coach Liz Cousins learned as her players did the importance of balancing a superb defense with an at least adequate offense. The basketball Royals only shot 30 percent from the field and 43 percent from the free throw line. Cousins stressed that the team’s offense would have to improve. “1 was pleased with the defense, that is definately our strength, but the shooting was poor and the squad will have to improve on that along with rebounding.” The Royals did out rebound ECC 34 to 27 but Cousins thought the Royals total should have been higher. “The player’s didn’t bo* out and jump as touch as they should have,” Cousins commented. “Instead they reached in and were called for hacking. There were alot of violations but that is to be expected in the first game situation.” Team fatigue from a lack of conditioning was also a factor in the team’s high number of fouls. Cousins hopes to have her players in better shpae so they can effectively employ their running offense against Oswego State this Friday. - pm - Amherst Campus 636-2191 � For information on Portuguese 3 Crosby Hall MSC 831 -2221 - - i �] Ketter A —continue from pm* 1— . Anticipating that Ketter may *eek reappointment, the GSA and SA plan to form a joint committee to evaluate the President’s performance. (The SA Senate also voted no confidence in Ketter last spring.) As Ketter begins to walk the reappointment wire, students feel they may be able to take advantage of his unsettled status. Student support cpuld play an important role in the reappointment decision, GSA leaders know. The GSA has asked Ketter to address a set of nine, questions some new issues, some old. The three key areas are: the status of the TA/GA Committee recommendations, academic direction of the University and the role of students in departmental and University - governance. Seek commitment “The whole point is to get Ketter on record,” said Melissa Ann Steuer, a GSA Senator and a former member of the GSA Executive Committee. “He has made promises to us in confidential meetings that he has not kept.” Public meetings with Ketter, though few in number, have often followed a consistent pattern. The President opens with a detailed speech on how the University is not self-governing, how the Governor, Legislature and state Division of Budget play their heavy hand in the affairs of the University, and how severe the fiscal crisis here has become. He then fields questions from students on mostly familiar issues, as the questioners seek some type of commitment from the man they see as pulling all the strings. Ketter’s responses are usually factual histories of the particular conflict or issue and do not often end with any new stand taken by the President. But this year, with the reappointment decision looming, things may be different. “Lately, Ketter has been saying things which seem to reinforce a favorable image of dealings with students,” said Steuer. “I’m sure this is related to the events of 1980. This may influence some of his stands.” Andre l\ole based on the recommendations of the TA/GA Committee, formed last year to deal with grad student grievances, “Our first concern,” Steuer said, “is public ratificaiton of new GA/TA rules adopted last year. Either the deans don’t know about these or they’ve chosen to ignore them.” The rules include policies on minimum stipends, guaranteed funding, course loads and the complex and potentially heated issue of equity in funding between day school TAs and Millard Filtlnore College TAs. Governance the role students play in decision making will also be a key issue. Ketter has consistently said he sympathizes with complaints that students are excluded from most policy-making at the departmental'level, but has stopped short of a pledge to order a larger role in the decision process. However, he recently added a student representative to his academic cabinet and is sure to mention that move as evidence of his personal commitment. A third central issue will be academic direction of the Univeristy and specifically Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn's Academic Plan. The GSA has taken the position that the document is essentially a reallocation plan that jeopardizes the comprehensive character of the University and the future of its graduate programs. Students will seek concrete responses to these concerns and are sure to grill Ketter on student input into the plan. Other topics GSA has asked Ketter to cover include Library funding, Amherst construction, safety of the campus, the Blue Bird strike and affirmative action as it relates to recruitment and funding of According to Meg McGoldrick, Associate News Editor of the Connecticut Daily the university newspaper, Kole made a similar appearance there. Termed by students, “a second rate performance,” the “magic” act was covered in a September 26 article of that journal. A number of students who felt they had been “tricked” chafged that no prior mention was made of the surprise ending in which Kole’s assistants passed out cards asking audience members if they were “born again Christians.” McGoldrick added that the cards, which had name spaces, requested students to check off either a request for more information, or “affirm that they had pjayed for Christ the night before.” This activity was followed with prayer led by Kole, she said. In the September article of The Spectrum UB undergraduate Ilyse Heinig recalled the format of the evening, “the first half, one hour, was fantastic magic,” she explained. “Then, however, right before a levitation act Kole explained that he was going to do magic with religion and didn’t want people to stay if they would be embarrassed” she added. - Fraud and propaganda McGoldrick accounted the Connecticut show and added that Kole’s announcement that the second half of the program dealt with spiritual events might have been misleading. “I think people just associated this with magic,” she said. The final student response, however, charged “fraud” and “religious propaganda.” Campus Crusaders responded to the irate claims by pointing out that posters did indeed indicate Kole’s religious and spiritual experiences.

Roy responded that no unit receives the same budget year after year. “It is possible that anyone can be cut,” he said. Roy explained that each unit is examined annually and allocated funds on the basis of need.

He added, “We can’t make a poster big enough to tell all.” The poster, 17 inches high, contained a line describing CCCI as the sponsor in letters measuring less than one-seventh of an inch. When questioned by thtDaily Connecticut CCCI Director at that University, Steve Seller, claimed, “We had no intention of deceiving anyone. All advertisements said it was sponsored by CCCI.” Virtually the same poster proportions as in ads for UB were employed. Reality is illusion Maintaining that the audience “was not held captive,” Seller said that the purpose of the show was to “correct the fraud which leads, people to believe that there is reality in the supematual world.” Arguing that the “ultimate reality is Jesus Christ,” the crusader claimed the need to expose that “much of what people believe is reality in the supernatural world is illusion.” Although similar “magic shows” have occurred in past years at UB and appear to be becoming a trend op university campuses, Utile has been done. The event did spur at this University formulations regarding poster lettering proportions for future on-campus activities. Other universities are aware of the student dismay with KKole’s performances and seek to avoid such encounters. Said the director of the SUNY Binghamton campus entertainment group, Fly By Night, “So far we haven’t had any such problem and I pray that we don’t in the future.” . 1— those dropped were relatively “None were unimportant. without dropped consulting faculty,” Roy stated. He said he would like more student input” since “students are getting shortchanged.” Kroll sympathizes with the Biology Department’s complaints. “Technically, SEL should have been serving Biology all along, since it’s a natural science.” But, she said, Pharmacy is in all ways a health science, and so the HSL cannot transfer any Pharmacy journals. There are only 20 Pharmacy titles, all duplicates, in SEL, said Kroll.

They would return the draft to us with suggestions which we would consider,” Schwartz said. The American Bar Association voted within a year to officially recommend the code. It is left up to each state legislature to adopt URLTA’.; System of rights 18 states have URLTA, some with revisions. The figure may be misleading because some states have previously adopted landlord-tenant laws which have elements URLTA, of says Schwartz. “Much of what we have in the been Act has adopted in piecemeal fashion by Massachusetts, for example,” he said. “It was not necessary for them to adopt URLTA because they had already covered the components of it with individual laws.” Copies of URLTA may be obtained from the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State -Laws, 1155 East 60th Street, Chicago, Illinois At this point, Price Includes: • • * * * • adopted Lamas 90 Day Money Back Guarantee On Lenses 6 Month Service Contract Cold Sterilization Kit Carrying Casa Solutions for Cleaning and Sterilizing BY APPOINTMENT ONLY BUFFALO CONTACT LENS GROUP 2777 Sheridan Drive, Tonawanda,N.Y. 834-4336 PROFESSIONAL FEES NOT INCLUDED 60637. Blumberg and Robbins say in Pharmacy, Daniel Murray, understands the problem of overlapping journal needs. He beUeves the location of the journals should be determined by the “greatest utiUzation”. He hopes that material donated by the 'Columbia School of Pharmacy after losing its accreditation two years ago, will be useful. The Columbia Collection is outdated; most journal subscriptions end around 1970. The Pharmacy faculty will be examining the collection to decide which materials are valuable enough to be kept by SEL and what will be handed down to another school. . rT"" the Harvard article, “The URLTA represents a system of rights and obligations which will for the ... first time, give tenants adequate legal protection marketplace.” in the housing “Rent strikes are illegal here,” said Bruce Proctor, Head of Public Interest Component of Group Legal Services at UB. “Since so many students have different landlords, I think it would be harder for them to get together,” he said. .Proctor attributes bad landlord-tenant relationships to the fact that'a lot of landlords don’t think students possess legal rights. “Many students sign pro-landlord leases,” Proctor related, “Students should give more input before the lease is signed and let the landlord know that students have rights too,” he urged. Landlord problems and charges can be brought to small claims court. In addition,- students here can fill out a landlord complaint form compiled by NYPIRG, Legal Aid and Off Campus Housing. Before signing a lease and running into landlord hassles, Proctor advised that students bring the lease to Legal Aid first.

The emotionally-charged meeting, the most well-attended Sub Board session in anyone’s recent memory, saw over 70 people crowd into Squire Hall’s tiny room 330 for the showdown over the abortion coverage clause. But the confrontation was four months too late to affect this year’s policy and four months too early to bear upon next year’s. The issue was brought to public attention earlier this fall when Co-Chairperson of the Right of Conscience Group and UB Law student Stephen Krason solicited signatures on campus for petitions denouncing the abortion clause, and also charging that Sub Board’s decision to include the abortion coverage was made over the summer at a time when most students were not on campus and publicity .was relatively low. — Krason contends that students are practically forced to purchase the University’s $73.50 Student Health Policy. Although students are free to choose their own insurance company if they provide a waiver form that proves other adequate health coverage Krason noted that other policies may cost at least double the University’s, Also representing the Rights of Conscience group, Co-Chairperson Robert Wise presented petitions containing 1,300 signatures of students - — who oppose the abortion fee. ‘Womens' Right’ When the group was finished, Baum turned the floor over-to the pro-coverageside, comprised mostly of undergraduates enrolled in a Women’s Study College course, Women in Contemporary Society. The women speakers attacked the petitions, saying 1,300 signatures out of a student population of over 25,000 is inconclusive. They also pointed out that it is unknown how many of those 1.300 students are covered by the UB policy. Each speaker in favor of the abortion clause was met with rousing applause.

You are being watched That very thought, the haunting spectof governmental spying, continues to knaw at the politically active minds of this University. To those who know, and wrote, the of history of SUNY imagined: a leading Buffalo, it is easily center of radicalism the Vietnam war ear; a targe, during cosmopolitan campus where almost anyone could blend in; an FBI office a few miles downtown; and the whispy, arduously obtained bits of evidence the official FBE file on a professor, curious connections among police agencies; an overheard conversation; and always the steady stream of revelations that the CIA and FBI have spied on American homes, workplaces and schools. Certainly if the government did spy on college campuses, SUNY Buffalo would be an inevitable Anti-war target. demonstrations here were among the most and volatile persistent inthe nation.

And those who believe, say spying is still going on. “There are people around here who have contact withthe FBI and other groups,” said Al Herschberger, a professor in the Social, Political and Historical Foundations of Education Department. “If something were to start happening on campus, they could get interested very quickly.” More than any fear that political activists will actually be hauled off to jail, the threat of surveillance undermines academic freedom at a University and laces freedom of expression on a college campus with teh bitter taste of governmental control.

Meetings monitored Buffalo lawyer Leonard Kiaif, a student here from 1965 to 1969, is certain of governmental spying during the anti-war period. “Every meeting Veterans Against the War of the Vietnam was monitored,” Kiaif charged. During the years 1968-71. when leftist groups met frequently, and openly on campus, when a Federally sponsored Project Themis research program, here saw its building burned to the ground, when an entire sub-culture of radicalism thrived on campus and in the surrounding community, it is overwhelminly logical — that the University.

Woudl University Police cooperate with an FBI investigation? “If they called and asked if so-and-so were a student here,” Griffin said, “We’d answer the 1971 The Buffalo Police Department has never confirmed or denied its membership in the LEIU or the alleged existence .of a “Red Squad.” The LEIU is a private club and, as such, its files are not open to the public, and not subject to Freedom of Information requests that the FBI, the CIA and other government intelligence-gathering groups must contend with. Yet the LEIU has obtained large government grants for such projects as the computerized Interstate Organized Crime Index (IOCI). The government specifically prohibited the LEIU from entering the names of political subversives into the IOCI. The $1.3 million grant used to organize the IOCI was provided by the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA), a federal agency that provides money and special training to local and state police forces for suclvitems as laser sights for police rifles, electronic eavesdropping devices and complex radio communications systems.

Sherman The UB Love Canal Task Force, formed by University faculty amidst great enthusiasm, has folded. The disappointed residents of the Love Canal had originally hoped for the organized advisory help of the faculty to interpret the findings and proposals of state investigators. While many faculty members claim they attended early August meetings, eager to involve themselves in analyzing the problems of the 20 year old chemical dumping site, they charge that they were never contacted for input thereafter. Task Force Chairman-George Lee, said that the lack of a follow-up was due to the committee’s evolution into “a sort of clearinghouse” for help and information. “I try and act as a sort of broker, introducing the specific problem to the appropriate person at the University,” he months ago explained. “I think the Task Force’s mode of function is immaterial if it isn’t doing anything,” said Lois Gibbs, head of The Love Canal Homeowners Association. Gibbs claimed that the Task Force has noLxesponded to her correspondences and expressed doubt whether things will change. Need immediate answers The University group is part of a broader Force set up in response to Erie County Legislator William Pauly’s suggestion that the vast store of knowledge at UB be applied to dealing with local environmental problems. Task Force membership has reportedly been low because participation is strictly voluntary. Task Force members work for free and on their own time. Lee said that there is also a tendency for most professors to avoid situations where they might have to make statements which could embarrass them. “We just don’t know the effects of some of these chemicals and so statements can’t be made haphazardly,’’ he said. “Any research that we might do,” he added, “would be primarily long term and they (the Canal residents) want answers now.” Linda Kolbas, University spokesperson for the Task Force, confirmed that many faculty members are Simply too busy with their own work. “There are those who have the energy to involve themselves but lack the technical know=how and there are those with the ability but not the energy,” she said. Kolbas added that “Besides the problem of working oh one’s own without funding, many professors feel uncomfortable about working with the second-hand information that the state would provide.” Closed mouth The issue of state funding for UB has also influenced many potential researchers. “Obviously,” Kolbas said, “no one wants to jeopardize anything for the campus by upsetting the state, and since they are already involved, there is definitely the risk of conflicting opinions.” Shc’added that “This is compounded by the fact that state investigators for the Canal area are pretty closed-mouthed with-their findings.” Lee is presently in contact with Federal officials to examine the possibilities of funding the development of a Love Canal cataloguing project. He said, “What we’d like to do is set up a collection of data in the Science and Engineering Library which people could refer to in investigation of future ‘Love Canals’ that are found.” The National Sciences Foundation also has a program Threats to Mankind Which Lee hopes the UB Task Force can be a part of. He regretted, though, that this too, is fundamentally a long term project, which may not really benefit the families evicted from . the Canal neighborhood. • - — > , ’ • ." 1' t * * i ’ *' *, Although The New York Times recently claimed that UB is one of only six universities in the nation university police whose are unarmed, closer examination by The Spectrum has revealed that at least two other universities in the State SUNY Stonybrook and have SUNY Binghamton university police forces without 1 officers may not carry either guns or nightsticks.

Both men feel that the $100,000 the study will cost could be spent on other city projects. The municipalization of local utilities has long been a priority project of University District Councilman Eugene Fahey, Masten District Councilman David Collins and the Peoples Power Coalition (PPC). The PPC is a statewide coalition that has been trying to establish “public power” in Buffalo for about two and a half years. According to Fahey, state law requires a feasibility study be completed before a public referendum can be held to decide whether utilities should be taken over by the city or not. If the referendum passes, the utilities, [in this case Niagara Mohawk (electric) and National’ Fuel Gas (natural gas)] would be taken to a condemnation court. In turn, the Court would sell the companies' properties within Buffalo to the city in return for a fair price. Whelan maintained that Buffalo cannot afford to pay a fair price in view of it'sstrained budget and shaky credit rating, and therefore the feasibility study is a waste of money and effort. Griffin pointed out that the city has very little money to waste and should spend the money on something else. ‘Worth the effort’ But Collins insisted that it is out of the mayor's jurisdiction to determine whether the money set aside for the project should be spent, since the Common Council has already approved the study. The councilman observed that the will be funded out of the city’s latest bond sales which Griffin himself approved. “The money is there for the study and I intend to see that it is used for that purpose,” he said. “There are people freezing (Out, there,” continued Collins, “The study will prove whether or not a city take-over is feasible and practical. It’s worth the effort to find out.” Despite repeated calls to City Hall, Griffin was unavailable for v comment. Precious stones for you both. A genuine black star for your star. His black star in 14 karat yellow gold with two diamonds is $21795. Her Hack star also in 14 karat yellow gold with two diamonds is $49.95. A very nice way to show how much you mean to each other. Critics of the proposed study have pointed to the findings of the defunct Act Sharp Committee, established by the County Legislature last year, to study the possibility of a county take-over of utilities. The committee concluded that public ownership would not bring any significant reduction in utility rates for consumers. Collins called Act Sharp “a blue-ribbon appointed committee” but said that it was unable to conduct in-depth research because the County Legislature failed to provide it with adequate funding. Kathy Connally of the PPC said, “The ad-hoc committee had one representative from the public, who later quit because it was so useless.” The rates would be between one-third and one-half what we pay now if the utilities were publicity owned because we would not have to pay for stockholder dividends,” said Connally, “The purpose of a public utility is to provide a service, not to make money.” onnally is optimistic about the eventual municipalization of Niagara Mohawk Klectric Co. and National Fuel Gas. She cites \he success of a public power drive in Messina, N.Y. which won the right to take-over Niagara-Mohawk’s facilities there three weeks ago. “All precedents have been set,” asserted Connally, “The Messina take-over of the utilities has direct correlation with the proposed municipal power study here.” now . k v. >, ( Boulevard Mall, Seneca Mall,Summit Park Mall. 1931 Main Street, Niagara Falls, N.Y , ■* 3 �South Library converts « ui into a computer center The South Library in the Ellicott Complex will reopen next semester as a computer center and study space, despite contentions that the area could be used to alleviate severe University housing shortages. Conversion of the library into office space could free 400-500 beds in Ellicott, as these rooms currently house several departmental offices. Vice President of Facilities and Planning John Neal explained that the library was not transformed into office space because the amount of money needed for renovation was prohibitive. The funds allocated for the computer installation did not come out of the Facilities and PI. nning budget, Neal said, but from the Computer Science department. Concerning dorm space shortages, Neal reassured that he would seek more dorm space next year, “1 would like to get as many beds as we can, realistically 20 to 30,” he stated. The South Library’s book collection was consolidated into the Undergraduate Library when the latter moved from Main Street to Capen Hall this summer. South Library was 'then closed until preparations for the computer center and study space were finalized. Director of Student Affairs, Scott Juisto supported the library conversion stating, “There is a definite need for study space.” He felt that it would be logistically impossible to convert the library into office areas. 1 t New Project Coordinator employed by NYPIRG After a two month gap, the position of Project Coordinator for the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) has been filled by Frank Butterini.

I would like to comment on an article appearing in The Spectrum on Wednesday, November 15th, regarding the Kthics and use of animals for experimental purposes. It seems to me that Mr. Kollwitz chose to highlight some of the more morbid aspects involving the use of animals, and failed to acknowledge the value and necessity of animal experimentation in medical research. If killing animals for medical research is wrong, so it is to have medicines developed through such research, and those people adopting this view should refuse to accept modern diagnostic and therapeutic medicines. As a point of fact, millions of people owe their health, in many cases, their lives, to animal research. They include the victims of horrible injuries, all persons who have ever required surgery, all who have ever received vaccinations against preventable diseases, and all who use drugs for diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic ailments. To be sure, Griffin's "you should be thankful for what you got" ■S attitude is insulting and infuriating to those who know the real story, but more important is the realization that many political leaders of Western New York share Griffin's general disdain for the University, if not his willingness to flaunt it. J Ten years after the fact, there is still as assembly of people in high downtown who resent the Amherst Campus because it is in Amherst and not on the Buffalo waterfront. places Eight years after the fact, there is still a large block of Buffalonians at all power levels who resent the University for fostering the campus unrest that spilled over into city streets, corrupting area youths and frightening their parents. The article suggests the use of alternative research methods, yet fo expect to understand the complexity of an animals behavior from a study of a few of its cells is totally absurd and quite irrelevant to the main issue. In addition, it stresses the need to end unnecessary duplication, yet national laws require such tests to be repeated in each country because one will not accept the evidence of another f do agree that some experiments are patently unnecessary, such as the use Of monkeys in collision experiments, and that there are experiments that involve pain. No scientist can deny this. But,wanton cruelty is not practiced. 1 hold that the majority of experiments of this type are for use in private industry and not medical research, and this is where animal experimentation is getting its bad name. It is obvious that Mr. Kollwitz knows very little indeed about the use of animals in medical research, and contend that it is due to journalism of this type that the public is misinformed and has little understanding of animal research. Michael J. ho hack There is also an impieesurable anti-intellectualism fervor in this city, aggravated, but not totally explained by the events of the University's past. All these forces lurk in between the lines of Griffin's letter. They are engrained attitudes, unassailable behind the rhetoric of fiscal austerity and political priorities and unchanged by the University's efforts to strengthen its tie to the community. They are handed down from power structure to power structure and unfairly chained to the students of 1978, most of whom watched the turbulent sixties from living gpms. Iflttie fight for the University's fair share is to be won, the studerjtp faculty and staff must confront all the forces working against us. Goitgrnor.Carey is just the most visible and serving target. Students not to prove themselves as responsible and concerned citizens of Western New York; they must disprove the crippling stereotypes’Ybat Griffin has conveniently played upon. Such a burden is unfair and Jrrational, but cannot be ignored. In a way, it is the broomstick wj|must fetch, the poll tax we must pay for our just fate. Read to tl» response is nothing more than political grandstanding aimed at a well-known sore spot in the citizenry's memory. But in its spirit, the Mayor's requiem preaches the bad faith of Buffalo tov$rd this University. It is the implications of the latter and not the chidings of the former that must be conquered. - — exil Outjof the way A study on public ownership of utilities in Buffalo is too crucial a first step, too logical a concept, too far-reaching irt its implications to be left for dead by Mayor Griffin. Griffin's battle against a $100,000 study on the municipalization of Niagara Mohawk and National Fuel Gas shows the kind of narrow-minded, status-quo thinking that allows corporate monsters like NFG to flourish. We support University District Councilman Eugene Fahey, Masten District Councilman David Collins and the Peoples Power Coalition in their push for a sophisticated study on the public takeover of utilities and we urge Griffin to step out of the way. $100,000 is small change compared to the potential of municipalization. by Jay Rosen Of all the people I know well, and 1 have at various times counted myself among them, not one seems poised for a leap into some life beyond their studentship.

Though we have met the crisis in transition before while signing yearbooks, we hardly feel like veterans before another battle for so many of our illusions were shattered the first time that we cannot even imagine what wreckings our new dreams might face.

To Wait and See begs the question of the day. There has been no peculiar melting of good and bad in our lives, but most of the pleasures have been momentary, fleeting pasttimes; a good high, a good climax, a good conversation, a good friend that is likely to be gone one morning. We can take our music with us, like all generations, but what of the harmony our lives have known will it fade in the switch from blue jeans to double kint? If it was our studentship that drew us tightly together, what is it that will take us apart? Things we’ve spent years fleeing like money and permanence we must now begin to chase. And the utter wildness we were weekend friends with will somehow burn itself out.

So what prescription have I written against this morose re-telling of a college carepr? None, other than the conviction that: somewhere between the wasteland of unknowns that haunts most of our futures and the stiff, straitjacket desk job that dulls others, is the path to take. Although the times we live in have left us all choices and none, there is danger in deciding what the system will allow then, paring down our options accordingly. If there is one thing to trust it must be our own intutions and inhibitions, and not those we cull from Parade Magazine or slick college catalogs. And always, there should be the riddle of what is wrong and what is right in this world. The leap from studentship ought to knife into that ultimate moral question, for it is timeless and absolute. �daymondaymondayi feedback f N| H ? Griffin slaps protestors . . 'Editor's Note: The following letter was sent by Buffalo Mayor James Griffin to the Buffalo Evening News concerning the protest by UB students two weeks ago.

The rally was not only a service to the University, but also to Western New York. For too long- a period of time the State Legislature and the Governor have paid little attention to the needs of the citizens in this part of the State.

I was not an “unruly mob” engaging in “adolescent antics” that confronted Governor Carey on November 3 at UB.

T i The students at the rally represented all segments of the University and the community. Despite their demographic diversity, they were able to come together on this issue, as it effects every member of the University community. In spite of you maintain about Governor Carey’s what benevolence, he has shown a blatant disregard for the needs of UB, in deference to several costly and dubious projects funded by the State of New York (e.g., the Syracuse dome).

Griffin Editor’s Note: The following letter has been sent by S/l President Karl Schwartz to Buffalo Mayor Griffin in response to Griffin’s letter chiding the protestors Mayor gym. They contacted the Western New York legislative delegation and local officials to enlist their support. Because of the need and because legislators and officials were impressed by their maturity and responsible body, funds were voted for such a gym. The UB students chose to ignore the increases in funding and the millions of dollars in construction authorized by Governor Carey, but rather sought to embarrass him. It is my hope that the demonstration of this group of students does not reflect the overall quality of the student body at UB.

Karl Schwartz President, Student Association Griffin's hands To the Editor: many members of It is gratifying to see the community are beginning to rise up against the repressive* policies of Mayor James Griffin. Mr, Griffin is, of course, like most politicians these days an inveterate conservative; and this means that he is committed to preserving the interests of the areas’s ruling businessmen and financeirs, even if this means curtailing the social and educational services offered t to the remaining classes of the population. And since the super-profits of these business titans are threateded by both Hntra-imperialist rivalries and national liberation movements, these pillars of the community are beiiffe compelled to diminish our standard of living in order to maintain the “royal” profits and power which they have long Blondie blooms To the Editor. — been accustomed to. In everyday terms, this translates into inflation, unemployment, economic stagnation, cuts in'social and educational services, unwillingness to defuse the arms race, as well as in the corruption and unresponsiveness infesting all levels of government. Hence, it is necessary to remind those parents and teachers who are protesting NUyor Griffin’s outlandish attacks against education that their adversary is just not one dimwitted politico, but rather the general policies and' perfidy of an imperialist ruling class forced into retreat and retrenchment all around the world. In a word, the struggle to stay the hands of Mayor James Griffin will not be successful unless it is simultaneously cognized as part of the general struggle to‘’reverse the reactionary policies of the capitalist monopolies which are currenly strangling the social and economic life of our country in the name of individual liberty and private enterprise.

Government officials revealed this week that President Carter plans to spend a billion dollars to bolster the nation’s civil defense. The program would emphasize educating- civilians on what to do in a nuclear crisis. Again, the military, in its never-ending treating the search to waste taxpayers symptom and not the cause. program The is the result of the Administration’s uneasiness over the size and pace of the Soviet Union’s civil defense effort. Yet, the Soviet effort seemingly makes sense when it’s recognized that the United States has copitemp using atomic weapons eight times since World War II. The Soviet move also seems to be the only logical thing to do when we recognize that the Pentagon is seriously thinking of building a $30 billion underground railway system to play hide and/ seek with our nuclear arsenal (is there an adult in the house?) Add to that a wasteful $120 billion military -budget, and it’s no wonder the Spviet Union . moving toward civil defense.

The charge stemmed from an incident on Friday November 10 when the student pulled a steel pellet revolver on a woman worker at was Hall. The gun Squire confiscated from the student at that time but no charges were placed because University Police wanted to check with the Buffalo District' 1 Attorney’s Office. University Police Investigator J.D. Denny explained that after a discussion- with the DA. the student’s psychiatric advisor, the Blind Association, and the Office of the Handicapped, it was decided charges should be pressed. By last Thursday riioming, the student had beCn arraigned and admitted to Erie County Hospital for psychiatric tests. Denny reported that tlie student would probably be held for 15 days and would then return to court for judgement on the charge. Flu epidemic rumors tire us, but ’tis the season of campus virus N»w York State’s top government leaders, testify before legislative After discussions A UB student who is legally blind was arrested and charged No outbreak Denny explianed, “This man doesn’t seem to want to hurt anyone, but because of his partial blindness one day he may shoot a student and really hurt him. Our main concern is to get him proper psychiatric care.” Denny questioned the sale of a steel pellet gun to a blind person. “It is irresponsible of any store to sell a product as potentially dangerous as a steel pellet gun to a person with a handicap such as ■blindness,” he said. The gun was purchased at a local Woolworth’s store. Visibly annoyed, Denny said “If it is allowed, then who is to say that this student won't- buy a real gun the next time?” The gun sale at Woolworth’s is under investigation, Denny said. Although “Health Services always see a lot a flu this time of year,” said Director of University Health Services M. Luther Musselman, rumors of a spreading epidemic appear to be unfounded. Cases of influenza have turned up on campus, yet Musselman assured “this is nothing out of the ordinary.” Cases of viral pneumonia have also been reported recently. Musselman said there have been more cases of pneumonia in the past four or five months than the total in the past few years. Stomach disorders, nausea, vomiting, and diahrrea are also common ailments at this time of year according to Musselman. Musselman noted that influenza is a seasonal virus, it is not solely the change in weather he explained, but the fact that many people have not yet adapted to the cold, and are not dressing accordingly. “If you are chilled,” he remarked, “you become more susceptible to bacteria which your body would normally fight off.” Pneumonia and influenza can be contagious if direct contact is made with an infected person. Symptoms may range from fever to chills to a cough, or even queasiness and vomiting. The old proper dress apd good nutrition are the key ways to ward off germs and stay healthy. - Abortion controversy... —continued from without consulting students. Krason maintains that “!,300 signatures may not seem like a large mandate, but Sub Board did not have any mandate when it made its abortion fee decision." Baum responded that last Spring Sub Board debated whether to have any student insurance policy, and did not discuss the specifics of the policy until July. She said there will be an open board meeting March 8 to discuss next year’s policy, at which time all sides will be invited to state their position. Krason pledged to be there in March with many more signatures. “Opposition to the abortion coverage is broad and deep on campus,” he said. “We’ll be back with the petitions to prove it.” Wise the pro-coverage response at the meeting “with a grain of salt” and that his group has the support of many students.” said he took In court Wise's optimism is partly due to a pending - Thursday night’s meeting had been originally scheduled for Talbert Hall on the Amherst Campus, but was moved to Squire Hall on Main Street earlier in the week. Wise hinted that Sub Board might have been trying to avoid the Rights of Conscience group, but Baum quickly disagreed, saying, “We were not trying to subvert anyone.” She explained “I was only trying to accomadate Millard Fillmore College (MFC) students, who would not have been able to attend if the meeting was on the Amherst Campus.” Wise responded, “We were why they didn’t have their act just puzzled together.” " . - / . . • ..

There are many shampoos being sold that don't indicate the pH value on the bottle or lube. For Be honest after washing your hair, does it really smell like “the first day of spring in the garden of earthly delights”?

Johnson and Johnson’s “no more tears” baby shampoo may be sympathetic only to your eyes, since it has a pH value of 7.2.

Protein works by coating the hair shaft. Producers contend that protein will give your hair new body and bounce, in addition to repairing split ends. After shampooing, your firzzies may have disappeared but that’s because the protein has in essence, glued the split ends together. “There are some bonafide conditioners,” contends Hunt, “The hops in the beer found in some shampoos and setting lotions gives body to hair.

Fragrance is added to shampoos to mask the odor of other ingredients, such as the detergents or foaming agents. More importantly, manufacturers often rely on fragrances to boost profits.

Quarterbacking the offense for Buffalo by Greg .Slater Spectrum Staff Writer UB basketball is on its way back. The arrival of new head coach Bill Hughes from Fredonia State signifies a return to the team concept of basketball. Although familiarizing his players with new styles of offense and team defense takes time, Hughes, without hesitation states that, “anybody who cones to sec the Buffalo Bulls play basketball will leave the game feeling proud of a team that hustles and performs as a team.” Contrary to popular belief, UB’s "move to Division HI this year does not mean that all their games are played within their division. The Bulls actually play 14 of their 25 games against cither Division I or II feams. All of this adds up to tough competition, where the non-scholarship will have to fight for every win. Coach Hughes is eventually hoping to establish the type of defensive play that had become his trademark at Fredonia. In the past three years, his teams led the Bulls nation defensively, giving up only 47 points per game. Currently, the weakest part of UB’s team is its defense. However, even With no outstanding defensive players Hughes’ piCssOrc half-court defense could improve it dramatically. New plays will be returning point guard Rodney McDaniel. Hughes has called the Bronx junior “the quickest player in western New York, who’s also a fine pcnetrator and excellent floorleader.” A tight battle is being fought for the other starting guard position. So far, junior Mark Sacha holds a slight edge over senior George Mendenhall. Both possess fine outside shooting ability, necessary for the shooting guard position in UB’s five point offense. Highlighting the small forward spot will the experienced six-foot-four-inch sharpshooter Tony Smith. “I wouldn’t back off from putting him up against anybody Tony’s got that kind of all-around talent,” Hughes said of «the junior. Battling Smith is six-foot-fhree-inch senior Fred Brookins, another excellent shooter. Buffalo’s offense, however, is subject to change, with some players possibly moving to different positions. be - Impressive forward The player that has most impressed Hughes throughout, scrimmages has been six-foot-five-inch power forward Mike very deceptive,” Hughes commented. “He’ll do it all without notice, and his game is very solid ail around.” freeman. “He’s The Buffalo offensive show will consist of a farff ’break whenever possible, with a more deliberate passing format when play Terry Diggs provides solid backup, showing a lot of promise with his well-balanced is Rounding out the starting five will be center Nate Bouie.

Almost as important as building a good basketball program, Hughes feels, is building fan interest as well. UB basketball is growing, and in return for the team’s time and hustling efforts, support from a school as big as Buffalo is essential. The team opens its season November 30 at Sienna College. Their Clark Hall debut will be December 9 against the University of Akron.

In a repeat of last year’s performance, George Babikian took first place in the Men's Student category with a time of 10:15 over the two and a half mile course. One hundred and thirty-four runners competed in the cross-country style meet at the golf course adjacent to the Veteran’s Hospital. Bahikian, a 4: IQ miler in high school asserted that this year's competition was much tougher than in the past. “I ran a lot harder," the lanky Penn grad revealed, "The competition was much harder and I wasn’t in as good shape.” In Men’s Student Team competition, the Almagamated Road Runners literally ran away with the turkey, compiling 85 points with four finishers in the top 20.

"We came out and we just didn’t move, we just watched for the whole period.” The Bulls had a clear case of The Hockey Bulls learned their lesson too late, after falling behind 3-0 in the first period of Friday night’s game.

At 2:12, Dan "Brown scored off a perfect feed from Todd Wescott, who had been left unguarded with the puck behind the net. With Kaminska screened, Brown’s 15-foot wrist shot had no trouble finding the net. The goal seemed to wake the Bulls up. At that point, they joined the Cardinals in using their bodies agressively. But it was the Cardinals who dominated the within one goal of the Cardinals. “That’s what happens when you try to play catch-up hockey,” explained coach Ed Wright. “You get caught up one, two goals and you give up one. You get caught up again* and you think you’ve got the momentum and something else breaks down,” he added. With the Bulls trailing 6-5, Francis Laconte, Cardinal center, iced the game with a little more than two minutes remaining in the final segment.

"If an officer had been present during the recent hold-up of Brooks Pharmacy on University Plaza,” said Nelson, “the robber seeing the uniformed, unarmed officer could have seriously injured him.” Nelson recalled the homicide at the F.llicott Complex last year. “Considering the suspect was armed,” he said, “the officers were fortunate that he offered no resistance when apprehended. We are adamant about University Police being armed to better serve the community.” Student Association (SA) President Karl Schwartz believes security that ' adequate is important, but firearms for University Police are unnecessary for the duties they perform. “It can create more problems than it will solve,” maintained Schwartz.

As Falkner noted,, “It’s sort of like super-saver on American Airlines, serving also to ‘fill in empty seats’ for the smaller firms when they aren’t busy.” The public interest firm would be comprised of various-law experts and would operate much like a secretarial pool. According to Falkner, if one lawyer is bogged down with work, another handleork is distributed according to availability and expertise. Pre paid premiums O’Laughlin believes most private firms will be interested in at least some aspect of public interest law, mostly because of their code of professional responsibility,” she said. O’Laughlin informed that just about every firm in the Buffalo area has performed public interest services in one form or another but noted that such services were provided without the realization that they were actually public interest law work. “In a way,” she said, “all wti are doing is organizing the present situation.” Dean of UB’s Law School Thomas E. Headrick believes it would be hard to employ a strategy of mandatory contribution of services from about the availability of lawyers, Headrich said “Internships for Law School students are a possibility, but the University’s involvement can’t be determined until the outcome of the committee is known.” On a different level, the beginning of a “pre-paid legal services” program is also being discussed by the ABA. It will be operated on an insurance-type basis, whereby users will pay a premium every month to cover legal services for a certain length of time. “Everything is still on the drawing board,” said ABA President Charles Dougherty, “but we are quite definitely on our way!” 9:00 am 4:30 pm 9:00 am ■ 8 00 pm - 9 00 am 9 :00 am - 4 :30 pm 8 :00 pm - - AMHERST CAMPUS 210 FRONCZAK HALL 'January 15 •(Monday - February • 2 9:00 am 4:30 pm - Friday) a home away from home PLEASE NOTE; Hour* after 5:00 pm are reserved for MFC and Graduate Students. 4) Student IF YOU WANT TO RELAX AND HAVE A GOOD TIME IS Identification Cards 1.

Consequently, Courier articles dealing with City Hall and the Mayor’s Office have been devoid of direct quotes from Griffin for several months now. Executive Editor of the Courier-Express Doug Turner maintains that the Mayor’s reluctance to talk to his reporters has not hindered his paper’s city coverage. We get the news from other sources within City Hall and, although I wish we had a more casual relationship with the Mayor, we are doing fine,” he “ asserted. Turner said he could spot no cause for the Mayor’s close-mouthed policy. “I do wish he would be more garroulous and less shy but that is his personality,” Turner commented. Griffin, however, cited poor reporting by the Courier as reasons for his silence. “I doift direct days . in Albany as an Assemblyman and • through the last campaign and my first ten months as Mayor,” Griffin said. with us,” Turner remarked. He asserted that most of the announcements missing from the Courier's coverage are items the Mayor would want some publicity on. “Most politicians statements are self serving in natdre artyhow, so what we and olir readers are spared is alot of verbiage that does not have much import.’’ said Turner. Rhetoric missing Turner that acknowledged there have been articles the Courier has printed that Griffin did not approve of, “But,” he explained, “we do not operate to be approved of.” Turner • added that his paper would not be used by politicians: “If we have to take the choice between being some politicians lapdog and writing the news of the community, we will take the latter.” Turner said the only comments that the Courier does not get are “the spur of the moment” cpiotes. “1 think that the Mayor suffers more than we do because a lot of his politically motivated statements are missing from our paper. Also, his image suffers as a result of his reluctance to speak Griffin seems to believe that the city of Buffalo is the one that suffers when he speaks to the Courier. "I have fdllhd 'that talking to the Courier doesn’t do Buffalo much good. The only results for the city are negative,” he said. Griffin described his Courier policy rather,bluntly! “I to the never speak -Cornier-Express. * Neither upset Both Turner and griffin agreed on one point: what one says about the other doer not .-bother either of them.

They blame the relatively weak showing on a combination of high campaign spending, which they were unable to match, and the high priority given to fiscal issues. “It was not a good election,” conceded Carl Pope, a spokesman for the Sierra Club and the League of Conservation Voters, a Washington, D.C-based non-profit group which supports { ,| environmental causes. “When the environment was seen as the key issue,” he said, “things wem relatively well. But in many cases candidates were also involved in issues like taxation, law and order, and inflation, and were swept away by the conservative national tide.” Of the 24 pro-environment campaigns the League backed this year, 13 won, 10 lost and one was left undecided. League president Marion Edey cited the re-election of Rep. Jum Weaver (D.-Ore.) as one of the most encouraging results” of the Nov. 7 election. “Of all the races I know of, the environment played the biggest role in that one,” she said. Weaver was attacked for his pro-environment stands on timber management,, wilderness and nuclear power. , “ The dirty dozen Action’s Dozen” “Dirty campaign, which targets the 12 congressmen with the worst environmental voting records, knocked off only two, Rep.

In some cases; these politicians later improve their environmental voting records. Even as the results of this year’s election were coming in, environmentalists were assessing the hurdles they will have to overcome in 1980. Edey identified these as “increasecLcapaign spending, the increased role of the media and the lower voter turnout.” Pope, who agreed that campaign spending is a major problem, predicted that “unless public financing of campaigns is enacted next year, environmentalists are going to be in worse trouble in the future. In a number of these races, it was high spending that made the difference against environmental candidates.” - > Nocomments DiJoseph said (’icarelli’s decision not to re-appoint Tigges was based on a random selection of survey responses obtained from faculty members! and students who have been in the OT Department for the last three years during which Tigges has been Chairman.

Bus 161 of the line replacing the striking Blue Bird fleet plowed into the back of a two door Plymouth Tuesday while making a right turn onto Bailey from Millersport Highway en route to the Amherst Campus. Students recounted that the bus, driven by Carol Zawrieucha, was unable to stop in time when the car in front stopped midturn. None of the 30 students aboard the bus were injured in the collision. The two female occupants of the automobile also escaped injury. Zawrieucha has been driving for Tonawanda Coach Lines since March 1, 1977 and according to a Tonawanda Coach Lines spokesperson, “has had no other accidents.” Zawrieucha radioed into base as soon as the accident occured and was told to “Get all of the information” from the car’s driver and to continue her run. She subsequently asked base to notify the police, who arrived a few minutes later. The incident occured at 11 a.m. A Bluebird bus arrived 10 minutes later to transport the students to the Amherst Campus. The bus incurred minimal damage, although the car’s trunk was pushed in. According to Bluebird President Louis Magnano, Bluebird buses “have been involved in only two or three very minor accidents since September.” Magnano described the accidents as “fender benders” and said they did not result in student injuries. UB chapter of NAACP finds mail open, delayed The UB chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) charged Tuesday that several letters mailed through UB’s intra-mail system were opened and delayed three days before being delivered. Several of the letters, which announced a NAACP college chapter meeting on November 11, were delivered six days after their initial November 8 mailing. According to chapter president Barbara Hilliard, in a statement to the Buffalo Courier Express, 14 persons complained Tuesday that “their mail hab had been delayed and opened, which resulted in their missing the meeting.” Hilliard blamed the action on the University’s current involvement in the annual on-campus Third World Week. During the week, minority groups sponsor events to discuss problems of discrimination and offer insight into the triumphs and tribulations of the minorities they represent. Campus mail policy Director of University News Bureau John Thurston refuted Hilliard’s allegations. He explained that the action was ta*ken in accord with the campus mail policy to open any not posted with a return address. The practice is not only a measure to prevent crank letters and campus mail distribution of commercial flyers, l>ut it enforces a requirement of the State Department of Audit Control to monitor all intra-campus mail not sent through the US Postal Service, not marked as official business, or not exhibiting a return address. Intra-campus mail service is provided by the University and is restricted to official use only. According to Thurston, the opening of mail under such conditions is completely legal. UB Director of Public Affairs, James DeSantis toldTTie Spectrum, “hHad the letters not been opened, the University could have been in trouble if it had been observed by auditors.” Thurston informed that the alternative to using a return address is sending material in regular intra-campus mail envelopes. He added, however, that any mail not following such guidelines upon being opened is clearly stamped ’’opened by campus mail. 5 The delivery delay, likewise acknowledged by university officials, was attributed to the vast amount ofmail handled by the UB office. * DISCO DANCE CLASSES AT THE RHYTHM DANCE STUDIOS 1444 Hertel Avenue corner of NorWalk - JOIN THE FUN INSTEAD OF Watching'*! the Latest New York, 3 Count and Latin Hustle SCHEDULE: 7 pm on Mon. or Wed. 8 pm on lues, Wed. or Thurs. 9 pm on lues, or Wed.or Thurs SPECIAL FALL RATES 10 WEEKS $25 PER PERSON 5 WEEKS $15 PER PERSON - Statistical Science Music Psychiatry Health Education ■ gONJ DELAY REGISTER TODAY! - PHONE (37-0390 BETWEEN 3 AND 9 PM �V ‘Flaky’ procedure i UB taking steps to ease problems caused by heavy snows • With the Buffalo winter edging ever so close, UB is talcing steps to soften the blow of a massive snowfall. The common winter practice of class cancellations is not a one step procedure. If, during the night, the University is blitzed with an excessive snowfall, requiring the use of snow removal crews, University Police notify physical plant supervisors. If the snow cannot be cleared, or if weather conditions indicate clearing efforts would be futile, the physical plant supervisors in turn call the two plant directors — one for each of the UB com puses before 5 am. The directors then make their report to yet another - superior. Eventually, if road conditions and forecasts warrant action. Burr C. Folts, Assistant President for Facilities, calls Vice President and for Finance Management E.W. Doty. Doty calls University President Robert L. Ketter by 5;30 am, and if Ketter also agrees to close classes, Doty gets the message to the University Bureau of Public Affairs which notifies radio stations by 6 am. Physical Hello, is It snowing? University Police instituted a taped telephone message that describes road and parking conditions in addition to class candellations. The phone nember is 636-2345. Even after the exceedingly high snowfall that has buried Buffala during the last two winters, the University has purchased no additional snow clearing equipment. University Police have instituted a special parting system that went into effecTWednesday. According to University officials, this should alleviate some trouble with snowed-in ears. As of Wednesday, parking restrictions are in effect after midnight. There is no overnight parking in all but the following lots: Main Street Campus Sherman faculty lot, Parker faculty lot and the Main Street lot (rows closest to Goodyear and Clement Halls). Amherst Campus P-1, P-2 sections A-l, P-3 sections A-I.B-l, P-5 east end, and P-7 west end. - - After a heavy snowfall, restrictions are reversed. the Cars must be parked in formerly restricted lots, which'have already been cleared. This permits the special lots to be plowed. The next day, the procedure returns to normal. University officials will notify car owners of changes through posted signs and the distribution of fliers. Vazquez TAKE ff AWAY; Experts say the Blizzard of '77 (above), which dumped several feet of snow on Buffalo and necessitated inter-regional transport of snow removal vehicles, was a fluke unlikely to occur again. Yet no one is venturing to predict just how hard the faleks will hit Buffalo this winter. The University has already issued specific on which campus parking lots mutt be evacuated overnight for plowing and which of these restricted areas will be used for temporary parking when the overnight lots need to be cleared. Vehicles which are not moved will be towed away, at the owner's expanse of v course. information University Police: informing students of weather conditions , ■wan PENSIVE PARAGRAPH: Writing Place tutor Mike Atpiah. a graduate student in Communication, carefully peruses the work of Sister Theresa Maria, a student bare. Learning Center eases end-of-semester panic The combination of heavy course loads and impending finals is producing end-of-smester panic for many UB students. Frantically studying, nervous undergraduates are trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible in these last few weeks of school. The University Learning Center is now offering a credit-free lecture series to help students their scholastic strengthen abilities. Beginning November 21 and continuing through May 6, lectures will focus on topics such as, How to Study for Exams, Reading Skills, Higher Education for Successful Learning, and Critical Thinking. The idea for these self-help sessions was formulated last summer by Learning Center Assistant Director Muriel Moore. Recognixing the need for such a service, Moore planned the lecture series with the entire University community in mind. The Faculty of Educational Studies as well as the instructors of Reading and Study Skill courses were called upon to organize topics and give the presentations. Reading and Study Skills Director Vanniesse Collins described the goals of the lecture series. “These sessions were designed for students who don’t need a whole semester of basic skills, but maybe just two or three sessions” she said. “Some Students just need tips.” It is hoped that this program will help make the Learning Center’s other services more widely known within Ufi, Collins said. Etivate tutoring is available to students needing in-depthT instruction in study skills and self-improvement areas. Other services at the Center include a Communications Lab Library and the Writing Place, as well as credit courses on reading and study skills. - Originally intended to serve only those, students admitted the Educational through Opportunity Program, the Learning Center was expanded in 1971 to include the entire University. The Center is staffed by paid professionals, graduate students and volunteers. University Police have recently established a Campus Conditions Report Line to provide information on the state of the campus. Now in operation, the service relates conditions of the roads and buildings, weather information affecting bus service, and University closings. The idea of a separate phone line of this type was developed by Technical Specialist for Campus Police Charles “Corky” Brunskill. "During snowstorms, our five complaint lines are completely tied up with callers inquiring about school closing and such,” he explained. “We can’t respond to the important calls.” Now comprised of one recorded and one telephone line, the system will be expanded when needed. “If it is of value, we will put out more effort,” slated Brunskill. “It all depends on how much the populous uses it.” The recorded messages will be continually updated and may eventually include additional information such as parking lot plowing times and dates. Brunskill urged students to utilize the new service number to keep University Police’s lines open for emergency. Call 636-2345 for campus conditions. SOFT CONTACT LENSES • BAUSCH • LOMB & $95°° A. O.

However, Van Baalen informed, “Away from campus, rents are as much as $20 cheaper per person.” Mayor Coming is now trying to enforce housing regulations, limiting the number of non-related individuals who can live in an apartment. This rule is usually bypassed simply by having only one or two students sign a lease. Even though the number of people sharing an apartment might decrease as a result of Coming’s enforcement plan. Van Baalen points out, rents will probably stay the same. “This means it will cost more per student,” he said. He related that Albany also has its share of landlords who “let the place run to shit but don’t give a damn.” Precautions inconsiderate Rip-offs by landlords seem to be a problem of students everywhere. Those who are in a desperate need of housing space near campus are the prime prey of slum landlords. Certain precautions can be taken to avoid potential problems, such as careful consideration of the lease. Tenants should make sure they understand the landlord’s terms and vice versa. They should make a damage check list before giving a deposit to safeguard against paying for damage they did not do. Some off campus housing agencies have begun to compile a list of landlords with whom students have had difficulties. UB is in the process of forming such an agency. On campus agencies such as NYPIRG and Group Legal Services also provide help in dealing with landlords.

Environmental awareness the spirit that has generated thousands of reforms since the first Earth Day in 1970 is slowly being stifled by voters' shift toward the right, the lethal lobbying efforts of corporations and other conservative groups, and a new value system that hesitates to alienate the private sector and its investment capital. The growing tendency to view candidates and campaigns through a single issue abortion, capital punishment, etc. is leaving pro-environmental politicians in the dust as special interest gorups seize the limelight. Familiar scare tactics that equate pollution clean-up with the loss of jobs are drawing a sympathetic audience, especially in urban areas outside the Sun Belt that cannot afford further shrinkings of the tax base. The entire environmental movement was, at birth, a product of the times. But the times now pit region against region in the battle for jobs; lead interest groups to spend huge amounts of money on campaigns and campaigners; and turn students' thoughts towards careers and economic security. The environment? Well it is there and not much else. despite its organized lobby In 1978 the environment and a history of legislative victories is in danger of becoming the black sheep among political issues, left to take care of itself while the nation wrestles with inflation and gravitates to some new moral plateau. Students have always been in the front ranks of the ecology movement, but now the issues that still smolder on college campuses almost never touch environmental concerns, with the exception of nuclear power. The students of SUNY Buffalo are no different. None of us can even pressure one of our own corporations, I RGB Inc., to self only returnable bottles. Some of us rape and leave shattered our immediate environment through mindless acts of vandalism. And most of us leave environmental awareness to the history books in a relentless drive for marketable skills. A concern for the environment begins as a way of thinking, as an attitude about man's place in the schemes of nature. We can all manage that, term papers or no term papers, buses or no buses.

Congratulations must go to the organizers of Karen Silkwood Week and Monday's candlelight vigil by the campus nuclear reactor. About 150 concerned students showed for the event, a tribute to nuclear technician Karen Silkwood, who was killed in a mysterious auto crash while transporting powerful evidence against a nuclear processing firm. In the midst of chilling apathy, pre-winter winds and mid-term hysteria, these students turned out for a cause that is selfless. In its spirit, if not its numbers, the. in essence vigil is an even more encouraging event that the Carey rally. The Silkwood case deserves continued attention and, of cburse, a Presidential inquiry. And the campus reactor is an ever-present reminder that nuclear power is upon us. Monday's demonstration can only press these two concerns firmer into mind and is more evidence of an awakening social consciousness in the student body. — — The Spectrum Vol. 29, No. 38 Editor-In-Chief - Friday, 17 November 1978 Jay Rosen David Levy Managing Editor Managing Editor Denise Stumpo Business Manager Bill Finketstein - — News Editor Backpaga Campusr Composition vacant ' Daniel S.

Even though a detailed resolution was passed l)y the SA Senate with an overwhelming majority (one of the only worthwhile things that happened at that six-hour meeting) students did not read anything about it except for a brief notice. Something spectacular, like a striker being hit by a scab bus, had to happen before The Spectrum was moved to appear on the scene. The three local newsteams had arrived an hour earlier before anything “sensational” occurred. The article itself centers on the accident. Both the front-page and the page 3 pictures show the injured striker, the violent sensation worth showing, not the numerous students and strikepersons on the picket line. Both pictures were taken by Bob Eldred, generally known to be an opponent of the strike, and the article follows his overall interpretation of the incident. Of the ten paragraphs of the article, two report the testimonies of the injured striker and Jim Colucci, the nearest witness of the accident, who pulled the victim out from under the bus just before the rear wheels would have crushed the lower part of her body. The other eight paragraphs more or less side with Bluebird’s official version about the strike and the incident or try to discredit the strikers and students presenting them as militant vandalists. If The Spectrum had bothered to talk with these a different story would have been printed. The reports of the four students Kathleen finally got hold of were dropped from the article. Thus the way was cleared for associating the strike with “vandalism and dirty tactics.” The choice of the language used in the article is also very revealing. Marrianne Moshides, the injured striker, was "allegedly struck... by her own account” and Jim Colucci “claimed,” whereas Roger McGill, an undisclosed witness with a sworn • College B corrects Michael Thau While it is true that Carlo Pinto resigned, this has no To the-Editor. Although The Spectrum article of November 10, 1978 regarding the College B Artist-in-Residence program was fairly accurate, there were a few inaccuracies we would like to correct. In the past the College B Artist-in-Residence program was able to sponsor such' artists as Spyro _Gyra, Tender Buttons, Pepperwood Green'and the Ellicott Duo. The funding for this program was discontinued as of the spring 1978 semester. We were prepared to cancel the program altogether when we were approached by Pretzel, a talented and spected musical group. Acknowledging our situation they agreed to assume the responsiblities of the position of Artist-in-Residence knowing full well they could not be financially compensated. Istaead bearing on Pretzel’s status as Artist-in-Residence. It was reported in the article that “Another College B staff problem is that two of the three present staff members for College B have just acquired their positions at the beginning of the semester.” In actuality there are six staff persons employed by College B and while threee people were only recently employed this would seem to haVe no bearing on Pretzel’s status and does not present a “staff problem” to College B. The crux of the matter is funding. The problem cannot be restored to its full potential until the University once again makes available the necessary monetary resources. Diance W. Marsh Residential Coordinator Geralyn Huxley Academic Coordinator Elaine Salzano Administrative Assistant Bob Baron Creative Assistant we are able to provide them with a storage room for equipment, practice space, publicity for all engagements, and sponsorship for all concerts and open rehearsals in addition to the honorary title of Artist-in-Residence. In return Pretzel performs their unique style of music for the College B and , University community at regular intervals. The other inaccuracy in the article concerned the College B staff a topic which is completely unrelated to that of the Artist-in-Residence program. Michael Sheffield Concert Coordinator Patti Grubb — - Art Director Barely two weeks ago we could all witness press coverage on the Carey rally and how the students and their issues were misrepresented. Kathleen McDonough’s article on Monday’s events at the Bluebird strikers’ picket line seems to be another prime example of distortion of facts, only now in the students’ “own” newspaper. There has been no detailed information in The Spectrum about why our bus drivers are on strike and Wednesday’s article was loyal to that tradition. Although students have actively supported the strikers since Friday last week The Spectrum., “our’ campus newspaper did not find it worth reporting deposition (who took many pictures and is later mantioned in the article), Blue Bird Vice-President Herbert Katz, scab driver Ronald Buttermore and Bob Eldred make “statements,” “maintain," “accuse,” “charge” and “cites” (all verbs which tend to make their reports more valid and official). Roger McGill of course everything, even though he was sitting 60 feet away in his blue van on the parking lot with 20 people standing between him and the scene of the accident. Blue Bird Vice-President of course knows that it was a staged event because everybody would be very happy to be run over by a bus. Even though most of the people present heard the sound of the impact and even ran to the scene, the scab driver (bus no. 260) did not check on what had happened, drove on and dropped the students off at Diefendorf and left the campus by the Main Street entrance and wasn’t seen for the rest of the day. If that doesn’t stink. It is usually called hit and run. The last part of the article is dedicated to discrediting the participating students. One student is picked out and presented as an opportunistic and violent trouble-maker, who “took control of the rally.” This is pure fiction. The picket line was being led by the union shop steward and the vast majority of the participating students were demonstrating peacefully and informing fellow students about the issues of the strike and how UB students relate to it. This will be underlined by the leaflets and petitions they want to distribute next week. This is an effort to make more students aware of the legitimate demands of our striking bus drivers. What is The Spectrum doing about the strike? According to 'Fisher Bus drivers, they and Tonawanda Coaches have been contracted by the University. That means that Blue Bird is not fulfilling its contract with UB. Thus the University is spending our money to make up for the breach of contract by Blue Bird. 'The bus service was not adequate before the strike. Now libraries. Squire and other facilities are being shut down earlier The University has the power to force Blue Bird to end the strike. Apart from that there have been numerous cutbacks in most UB departments. The quality of our education is steadily deteriorating and we have to put up with the mess. That is why some of us have decided to start doing something about “our” University. Anybody who is interested can call up Tolstoy (831-5383) or go over tq the picket line at Bailey and, Sherman between classes and inform him/herself.

The character To the Editor: Having made the decision to attend UB, despite acceptances to competitive private universities and despite the unyielding needling of friends who merrily went off to Harvard, Yale, and Cornell, I was beginning to enjoy a sense of victory in my decision. The University had thus far proven .to be even fairly competitive, most of the professors seemed -competent (God knows they all aren’t but one cannot expect miracles now can oneT), and 1 actually felt I -was absorbing at least a fraction of the wealth of knowledge that exists here (yes, it does, if you look hard enough). But alas, “life is not a bowl of cherries,” to quote my chemistry recitation teacher, things began getting rather tacky. I am referring to the massive cheating during exams that is regarded as a banality to almost all concerned. Let me site a specific example during my physics exam there was an abundance of teamwork. It is true that we (all 150 of us) had the same test, were sitting next to each — Music Coordinator of students other and the professor was the only guard in the room, SO WHAT!! I have been in classes (in high school yet) where a teacher sould step out for 15 minutes during an exam and not one person would be low enough to cheat. Since grades in this University are based on curves, it does not require any geneus to realize that cheating raises the average and hurts honest people. When I questioned others as to whether they had ever witnessed cheating in their classrooms, I received affirmative replies. Perhaps the problems of this University lie, not 1 m in lack of funds or faculty, but in .the character of the students themselves, or should 1 say lack of character. We are all here for the purpose of being educated (weB, at least 1 am), acts such aS this should not be tolerated at any university of high caliber is this a university of high caliber?

After all, the Record Co-op does that everyday. We know that one big fuckup could, in Dr. Ketter’s’ mind,'constitute grounds for closing us up. The pressures you feel now are the kind we face every day, all day long. organization. I This letter is directed to the Editorial Board of The Spectrufrr, it is an appeal to the entire Board to set the record straight on The Spectrum policies vis-a-vis the Record Co-op. In the past The Spectrums’s sole voice has been that of Jay Rosen, the Editor-in-Chief. 1 could male the assumption that Jay Rosen has always, and will always, be the voice. But before I accept that, a reasonable opportunity is being given to all of you to collectively establish The Spectrum policy. That assumes that all of you would like to and can intervene. The issues, 1 recognize, are extremely sensitive. Consequently, I am speaking on my own behalf and not for the Co-op. Though the members are aware of the contents of this letter, none have been asked to contribute to or endorse its content. Yes, the Co-op did post the "Lev petition” but at the insistence of Karl Schwartz, it was taken down. The explanation from Karl Schwartz was that as an SA service, the Co-op couldn’t independently endorse or promote the resolution. It would take an SA Senate resolution in favor of Lev’s petition to allow the Co-op to continue asking for signatures. OK we abided by SA’s ruling' Why did we post the resolution? It was posted prior to the hassles between the Co-op and the paper in an attempt to provide the petition some kind of forum to be viewed. You all must realize that your publication is the only one on campus that is student oriented and so successfully reaches the student community (i.e.: look at the influence* of The Spectrum endorsements in SA elections). Considering the petition is an attack on the present structure of The Spectrum (and in my opinion, more of a personal attack on Jay Rosen), even I wouldn't expect The Spectrum coverage of Lev’s actions. One does, I believe, have to look after one’s own best interest in a matter like this one one that - - - — - This year the Co-op has tried to reach the students. We opened our membership to a total of 40 members almost twice last year’s amount. We have as many new members as we have old members. We are frying to be helped by SA as a student service, and more than every before, we are working with SA to be the best student service on campus. But it has not been easy. We, right how, have no budget from SA which’, if we got one next year, would be the first. None of us get paid, except for our officers. And their stipends are miniscule compared to comparable positions on campus in student groups. For the time A1 Stein puts in (as does Scott Lewis, our Treasurer, ahd Andy Blumenthal, our Vice President) their stipends are more like honorariums than anything else. Even the new Co-op T-shirts were paid for by the members, try, at all not form Co-op sales or from SA. times, to maintain the ideals of a cooperative, while we at the same time are caught up in student politics and the administration's conservatism. We find it frustrating that student briented groups like yourselves should be unreceptive to our needs. That, I suppose, is my interpretation of the latest hassles. If the Co-op received the support of your publication as a borther/sister student organization, we’d be happy. The Co-op only sought signatures on the Lev resolution when we felt The Spectrum was being less than responsive to the Co-op and other student groups. Otherwise, the posting of the petition prior to the latest confrontations was only a part of the Co-op policy to allow all groups access to whatever lines of communication we have with — - - - Guest Opinion by Corliss Lament in men Jike Henry Jackson, and Barry Goldwater, men who cling to the dangerous illusion that the United States can continue to police the world through economic pressure, political muscle, figures nuclear blackmail, have labelled detent a an3 a “one-way street.’. These men fear the “threat of peace” and are using their considerable influence and resources to undermine and block any relaxation of tension between the United- States and the Soviet Union, any move toward making detente more real. Is detente a “deception?” Is it something that threatens our national security? We think not. Willard C. Mathias, for V2 years a member of the Board of National Estimates of the CIA, recently outlined the meaning of detente in an article for the American Committee on East-West Accord. He defined it as “(1) A continuing process of seeking to relax tensions; (2) An attempt to work out rules for coexistence as an alternative to blowing each other up; (3) An attempt to work out '/ advantageous both and “deception” because of the between the rich and the poor." It is clear that the real motive behind the attack on detente is the desire to preserve our swollen defense budget. This welfare program for the large defense corporations, served up in the guise of national security, is the single major cause of inflation and social decay, and is making America uncompetitive with the rest of the world. It is no accident or coincidence that our major competitors. West Germany and Japan, have been able to build up their industrial base and enjoy phenomenal rates of growth with relatively small military budgets, Because we have neglected our basic industries in favor of armaments, those industries are now threatened with osolescence, and goods they made are now produced in other countries and imported into the United States. As syndicated columnist Pete Hamill has recently said, ‘The single most important factor in the current inflationary nuttiness is a peacetime military machine that is eating at the economic heart of America. Until the ■' and their corporate allies art brought under A all countires it money is used for of cition is inevitable.” leads the world In ' policy ' of life* as health and safety in - , to solve these „ our go a long way towards unemployment problem. Detent is of f increasing cooperation in scientific research and'in cultural matters. It will ultimately enable us to trim our attention-away from a false external threat and toward the serious problems of a deteriorating would , industrial base and its attendant fiscal and urban , ' crises. This is the hope for detente that is shared by at least 71 percent of all Americans, according to a Harris poll conducted last May. The image of the “Communist threat,” used so often in the past to whip public opinion into line - behind a policy of increased arms spending and foreign intervention, is fading from the public mind. Significantly, this is also the view of many “Kremlinologists” who have changed their opinions in recent years. Former diplomats like Averill Harriman and George Kennan, recognizing the new situation in the world, have thrown their weight behind a policy of detente. The cast majority of Americans support such a policy because, unlike the generals of the Pentagon, they know that a nuclear war cannot be won, and that the real threats to our way of life come from increasing joblessness, poverty, crime, and attacks on our health and our environment. As Congressional Black Caucus leader Barren Mitchell has said, “I have - - .. Larry Ribler threat of war it , feeds on the created; The truth is that if reject detente by pouring untold billions of dollars into the military machine and by conducting a tough, belligerent foreign policy, we are cutting the throat of our own economy. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance has said that we must turn away from the scramble to be “Number One” military, and honestly search for ways to co-exist, reducing the burden that endangers our lives, our freedoms and ourhappiness. It is long past time for us to start building more nad better housing, to reduce taxes, improve health care, eliminate the slums, eradicate crime, and to make healthy and secure habitats out of our detriorating cities. Defense expenditures build no schools or libraries, repair no streets, and create no useful goods. And what are the alternatives to detente more military spending, higher taxes and more inflation, not to mention a crippled economy and the endless feat of nuclear war. This is a past from which we must escape, not a future to which we should condemn our children. coiaK for President To the Editor. no great fear of the Soviet Union or China. If this democracy should ever fail, it will come from' within Zbigniew Brzezinski, of Socialist - Carey Detente —We need it Powerful students. That though is limited tp posting notices on our walls arid putting leaflets in bags hardly close to The Spectrum's ability to reach students. I personally disagree with Karl Schwartz’s insistence on taking down the petititon. At the least, let Lev air his views. If you disagree with him, you have all the means to let us know it on the Editorial page. As for myself, and this is absolutely not anything the Co-op has even discussed, I am unnerved by Jay Rosen's journalism. 1 don’t think the Editor-in-Chief should allow himself front page stories, especially as Jay Rosen’s have been about the most .sensitive of campus issues. How could someone so caught up in the politics of Dr. Ketter’s reappointment be allowed to write about it? How come half The Spectrums this year have Jay Rosen’s articels on the front page? An Editor-in-Chief who thinks he is Clark Kent has to be, shaken a little, made to realize that he can’t establish editorial policy, staff policy, print policy, and be so political at the same time. It’s not that Jay Rosen has spread but that he’s laid it on too himself too thin . thick,-If he would separate the roles he’s taken upon himself, and even dropped a few and concentrated on his role as Editor-in-Chief, then I feel The Spectrum would be a more open minded enterprise. Thank you for whatever consideration the Board gives to this letter. The entire situation between the Record Co-op and The Spectrum has become ridiculous. Something constructive can be done in this regard without changing the structure of the only student newspaper we have. You see, I personally don’t appreciate the arguments Lev uses. Independence is a necessity for The Spectrum. Especially independence from an influence as outride the interests of us all as I feel Lev represents. Please remember that the views 1 have printed here are TOTALLY my own. , - <• Editor's Note: The writer is an author, teacher and Honorary President of the American Humanist Association. Thank you for running Burt' Rothenberger’s article in last Monday’ edition of The Spectrum. It was enlightening to see how badly the administration continues to represent this University. It appears that no lessons were learned from the sincere and massive'display of student opinions expressed during the Governor’s recent campaign visit. It is also obvious that the administration had chosen to turn a deaf ear to the pleadings of individual departments flghting to maintain their academic integrity. Witness, for example, the President’s reply to Mr. Pierce’s question of appropriation imbalances within the SUNY system. Stony Brook is receiving lavish grants to begin a dental school while UB’s dental school is allowed to go down the drain, a victim of fiscal starvation. Our President’s feeble non-answer was that it is more expensive to start new programs than to maintain existing ones. This is no doubt true but obfuscates the basic issues. Why is it that expensive new programs are started while the pre-existing system is greatly endangered for lack of funds? Also, why is the UB administration simply maiking excuses.for Albany rather than fighting for their constituent’s interests? I would now like to present a modest proposal concerning the future leadership of this educational institution. First, I propose that our current President gracefully retire at the expiration of his term of office. I would also propose the same action for all occupants of high UB bureaucratic officialdom. To save the Presidential search committee needless trouble I further propose that the UB presidency be offered to Hugh Carey to be held concurrently with his Governorship. lyhfle this proposal may seem a bit farfetched, please be assured that it is serious and contains a number of distinct advantages over the present situation. For one thing, the Governor and the students have already engaged in a free-wheeling colloquia and each side knows where the other stands. The ambiguity of the present administration vs. faculty and student relationship will be eliminated. Furthermore, the Governor need not receive a salary for holding the UB Presidency and savings can be allocated for more this budget productive expenditures. And finally, adminstrative channels will be greatly simplified which means further savings of scarce tax dollars. Why, after all, must all communications pass through Capen Hall? As it stands now, it appears that when the Governor says “jump!” the UB administration merely asks “how high, sir?” Think of the savings that direct communication with Albany means. The fifth floor staff in Capen Hall can be drastically reduced! If it should become necessary to appoint an official to represent the Governor here in Buffalo I’m sure Mr. Carey could find one of his out-of-work Brooklyn bums to fill the bill at minimal expense, or a TA from someplace like Jhe Political Science department could be given the appointment. ■ Paul A.

The dialogue between them continues to the present day, influencing such artists as a Tyrone Georgiou, primarily photographer, and Mark Rucker, primarily a graphic artist, both of whose work are on exhibit at the CERA Gallery through November 30th.

Art begins with social concerns. Created by men and women who live in the world, their respective creations by their very existence responds to the social fabric of the day. Withdrawal, too, Is an engagement, by denial, with the questions of one’s time. Men and women, writing, painting, singing, creating, designing. Not all art is political. But all art is social. It is created from raw materials originating in a social context that no artist can fully ignore, and it appears in a social context that no critic or viewer should ignore. Beauty, as a remote, philosophical concern with definition, lies in the pen of the critic. Beauty, as the stirrer of strong, deep passions and responses, lies within the breasts of art’s audience. Men and women who are moved by some thing in a work that relates, that is. relevant to that, I know, is beautiful.’ their lives say, "Ah, yes I find it interesting that Ross Chapman, in his reactionary essay appearing as today’s Test Patterns, cites as his authorities Immanuel Kant, a philosopher, and Oscar Wilde, a significant but second-rank literary figure. I must confess that I, however Marxian-Platonic a viewer no, his of art (in between lies the universe!) find his argument tedious: old, reactionary, fruitless, defensive rear-guard fencing elitist. Beauty is less a significant concern in our present-day condition; we need to recognize power and intent: a work with emotional power to move its audience is a work that must be understood as a potential political tool. “Art” is a term that means nothing, intrinsically; it signifies a convention, and only a convention. Creative work that lies beyond the prescribed and circumscribed limits! of the recognized, understood, accepted, is typically labelled as "art” only when modified; “Primitive” art, “women’s” art, “proletarian” art, "handicraft.” Frequently, startlingly new art-forms, searching for new forms capable of responding to contemporary reality, are ignored or castigated: how long did Cubism take to come into its rightfully acknowledged position of importance? The closed salon, indeed. Critics begin and end with aesthetic and idealized intellectual definitions. —Lester Zlpris Art begins with social concerns. adding a new dimension to the picture.. Georgiou’s quiet brown photographs depict rural roads, fields and city scenes. He also shows an interest in simple patterns and basic shapes portraying bridge grills, monument bases, and columns. Tf\e embossments often compliment and extend a basic geometric shape in the piece, as in his study of pillars and perspective. triangular The raised embossment emphasizes the recession of the pillars as they grow smaller in the distance. The use of embossment with the printed image is quite successful as in the picture of a house along a shady street. Branches filter out the sun, leaving a pattern on the ground of shadow interplaying with the light, like pieces in a puzzle, shadows are cast on the house from overhanging shades and a crisp shadow is cast beneath the extending roof of the neighboring house. Georgiou embosses two quadrangles symmetrically opposed in the center, one pushing the surface in, the other out. The indentations also create shadows supplementing the, conversation between light and dark in the composition. In other pieces, the embossment articulates a shape which the photographed subject appears capable of imprinting. Beneath a group of columns, Georgiou embosses circles corresponding to the diameter of the pillars. It is almost as if a phantom pillar made a mark on the paper and disappeared. A similar idea underlies the picture of a rectangular stone base and th4 embossment juxtaposed at an angle next to it. V at first glance, Mark Rucker's drawings appear to be photographs, a perception not far removed from truth. Newspaper pictures provide a basis for his work which he meticulously renders in pencil, making x slight alterations. His subjects are of a political and social nature. In "Shadow Puppet,” the viewer is presented wjth an image of the Pope, one J hand raised in a gesture imitative of the finger games one can play with light against u a wall. The eyes are concealed beneath 7 sunglasses. It seems possible to associate a S. number of meanings with the piece. Is this 1. revered religious leader merely the c marionette of a higher authority, God the 2. Shadow? Is the artist mocking the Pope? A j similar message of uncertainty, imparted by exacting realism, is prevalent g throughout the exhibit. 12 A series of eight drawings are described r by titles beginning with the word 7 "Phantom” "Phantom Collusion,” §• “Phantom Wealth,” "Phantom Parade,” etc. As defined by the dictionary, "phantom" means "an appearance or 2 illusion without material substance." i Perhaps Rucker is making a statement Sf about his work or about art in general 5 which seeks to capture an image but is n really just line and shade. The drawing entitled "Phantom Wealth” portrays two Arabs equipped with machine guns standing on either side of a luxury car. They look coldly at, almost through, the spectator. We are left wondering what kind of wealth the drawing alludes to. A subdued violent energy emerges in many of the works. In “Phantom Warning,” a motorcyclist - is depicted in front of a brewing storm. One finger points upward as if signaling impending doom. Is this the artist as prophet? Even though images are clearly recognizable, the pictures’ titles and precise details raise questions and instill uneasiness in the viewer. Rucker, highly sensitive to contemporary issues, uses photography to subtly transform the camera’s reality into a surrealistic nightmare. Both Rucker and Georgiou successfully employ photography in their work, one using the camera as a tool behind the finished product, one using the camera to> produce the work. • « — — Piew arts, culture Journal announced Works and Days; Essays in the Socio-Historical Dimensions of Literature and the Arts is a newly established interdisciplinary journal which will explore the interaction of art and its cultural and historical contexts.

Last month’s abandonment of the Century Theater by music promoters Harvey and Corky is such a case. To anyone who had ever witnessed a concert there, the "Sale of the Century” seemed like a deliberate selling out on the entire Buffalo music scene, enough to instill feelings of surprise and resentment among music enthusiasts throughout Erie County. Admittedly, it appeared as though Harvey and Corky were out after a financial killing, transferring their promotions to the Memorial Auditorium - where ticket sales have a seemingly unlimited potential The promoters, Harvey Weinstein and Corky Burger, who have been involved with concert promotion in Buffalo since 1972, maintain that they were equally sad at seeing the rock institution known as The Century Theater finally close its doors. "We didn’t make a killing on the closing of The Century Theater. Harvey and Corky really fed a great deal for Buffalo as was shown just by their keeping the run-down Century open for so long,” claimed booking agant, Rich Saltu>. “Obviously, we didn’t lose any money in selling the Century, but we were losing money running it.

Currently closed for re modeling purposes, the bar will reopen November 21. as “Harvey and Corky’s Stage 1," an exclusive, intimate nightspot, similar to Toronto's El Macombo or the Bottom Line, in New York City. According to the Executive Director of Harvey Gorky Promotions, Brad Grey, the bar is planned as a showcase lor a wide range of top national acts, along with a strong mixture of-up and coming local talent, comedy teams, and jazz performers, all within a classy and comfortable atmosphere. “Buffalo has needed a place like this for a long time. The club will create an alternative atmosphere not found anywhere else in the city and will attract those performers who desire a more personal rapport with their audiences,” he said. As it stood, Patrick Henry’s was basically a rock and roll bar. “It's a great place for getting rowdy,” exclaimed one patron, clad in t-shirt and jeans. Red plastic lamps hanging from the ceiling a soft, low keyed glow, which added to the informal and atmosphere. Renovating underway Renovations currently, underway are expected to transform the club's rectangular setting with unfinished tables and chairs, into what Saltus termed “classy but comfortable." To enhance the atmosphere, Tiffany lamps and two chandeliers, salvaged from the now defunct Century Theater, will replace the plastic lighting fictures. The simple mahogany bar, spanning the far end of the room, will undergo a complete metamorphosis to emerge as a T-shaped marble bar with brass railings. Besides these changes, some very practical renovations are being made to afford more seating room.

Former patrons considered Patrick Henry’s acoustics exceptional although one ABC representative disagreed. “The'ceiling is too low. Sounds emitted from the speakers have a tendency to bounce off the ceiling and become distorted. The low ceiling also makes it difficult to get really good spotlighting for the bands.” Aside from this potential problem, Grey remains optimistic. Compared to Patrick Henry’s, Stage 1 will have a totally different appeal. The walls will be decorated with promotional posters,” he said. 'The bar will have a new look from the outside as well as in; even the bathrooms are being redone.

Saltus claims that Stage 1 will be almost a perfect bar. “It’s big enough to seat over 700 people but small enough to generate an intimate atmosphere.” Geography helps Saltus maintains that Buffalo's position as a music market is definitely on the rise. “Without a doubt, this city routes will for touring bands,” he said. "Groups passing through Buffalo from appearances in Toronto and Cleveland enroute to the East will now have added incentive to stop in Buffalo. Alsp, groups from Canada, New York City and Long Island have heard about the potential exposure of State 1. We certainly have the highest expectations for the club,” he added.

People stood all evening. The four Talking Heads assembled on stage, looking tike some group of Young Republicans, obviously lost to those who try to confine the band within the trappings of classification, most often between the punks (due to Talking Hoads’ evolution from New York’s r.B.G.B.’s a pathetic misnomer) and a genre critic John Rockwell labeled as “art rock"” (catch-phrasing in an attempt to understand David Byrne’s introspective, looking-glass lyrics). The audience's first session of the motion analysis began, imperative, and the crowded floor complied stepping and swaying to the anthem "The Big Country,” an emotive panorama of America as seen by Byrne from an airplane window. ; - Cold steel surfaces in, the so-called itualism of Talking Heads surfaces as nothing more •Id steel reasoning on themes; their avant-garde to rock being nothing than a decision to abandon fonjis of rhyme and t lyrics for conversational its and vocal caricatures.

With its unbHdlcd happy beat of Dance oTering expressions of total feeing, the album (on Columbia), Drums of Passion, quickly became recognized as a classic. The Nigerian drummer; a Master of the Beat who could call the spirits leaping from the Tall Drum or make the rattling laughter thru sansa (finger piano) and xylophone, is Babatunde Olatunji. Olatunji cast a deep influence on John Coltrane, has recorded with Max Roach, Herbie Mann, Joe Henderson, Horace Silver, and is one of the great influences for artists perpetuating their own affairs (as Olatunji’s Center for African Culture in NYC can testify). Now, come see Olatunji in person. He'll be bringing a company of fifteen dancers and drummers in a Music and Dance presentation for The International "African Arts Festival,” to be held Sunday at Kleinhahs Music Hall. This event is sponsored by the Yoruba Foundation The Festival also features traditional African clothing, Yorubaland dance, artifacts, and more.

But they can also be reassuring; they can present us with certain recognizable patterns of confrontation a topography and a set of rules from which we can derive a typology of violence; who it happens to, how, where, and why. These books then often tell us more about our own unquiet fantasies'than they do about the realities of war. This point was briefly taken up in a recent column here; it is a point I would like to develop a bit further. Both Michael Herr’s Dispatches and Philip Caputo’s A Rumor of War attempt to bring home the madness and violence of the Vietnam War. They are books that invade and overwhelm, that typically try to pick the reader up and deposit him in the midst of the mud, blood, the slime of viscera and brains that supposedly constitutes the horror ot war. But then what do they tell us of this war that sets it off from other wars, that makes it specifically our war to which we may or may not finally be reconciled? Caputo and Herr share one thing in common: they both offer rather privileged views of the war. Caputo is an officer and Herr a journalist; they share a certain detachment; they are never fully absorbed in the war. Rather the war is an occasion, a series of problematic encounters, an important but passing phase in their respective careers. Their purpose is not merely to survive, it is to do well. Herr’s book I find the more disturbing of the two. There is never a lull. Story follows story as the reader is rushed from one little drama or meditation to the next. Herr whirls back and forth in and out of combat situations, ekh time retrieving the important goods. Where most everyone else is dug irt, in a war "without any measurable movement," the fantasy of absolute mobility, of whirling above and away from the scene of .violence, story in hand, complete with background music and photos is quite understandable. It is the fantasy of every soldier, a real closure and end to violence and a triumphant return, but it is also the fantasy that the Vietnam War exploded. It’s no wonder that more than one grunt lowered, locked, and loaded' on Herr. It explains why, as he admits, so many of them detested journalists. Herr’s vantage point prevents him from really understanding the complexities of the war. He tells the story of a soldier at Khe Sanh suffering from a case of “acute environmental syndrome,” or as Herr caHs it, “shell shock.” Each day this soldier sets out for the air strip at Khe Sanh to Deros home, each night he returns to his company. Books about war are bound T1 i « will always have enough to do the one big thing: to Get Out. Kevin Bowen they are after all about violence CJ1 to - — In the heads of the men who are really in the war for a year all tours end early. No one expects much from a man when he is down to one or two weeks. He becomes a luck freak, an evil-omen collector, a diviner of every bad sign. If he has the imagination, or the experience of war, he will precognize his death a thousand times a day, but he The symptom is not quite so easily explained. Herr fails to recognize the conflict and trauma involved in tearing oneself away from friends and comrades, the sense of abandonment and guilt engendered by the staggered rotation system that forced the soldier to see himself in contradictory terms, as both an individual and a collective being. Given the literal meaning of esprit de corps which contact and hardship can bring into being, leavetaking fakes, on the dimensions of a truly mutilating experience. But Herr fails to see this; he still sees men in war as inviolable and intact individuals. That is part of his privileged fantasy. Caputo is far more sensitive to these issues. He admits to the deep desire to return to Vietnam many veterans share. For Caputo, as for most, the desire is not simply motivated by a nostalgia for action and involvement, it has something to do with the war as a totality, a place and a consciousness. Caputo finds - an actual location for it, the Annamese Cordillera, the range of mountains that run like a spine throughout the North and Central Highlands down into the South. Forbidding... hostile and utterly alien. The Vietnamese themselves regarded it with dread. "Out there" they called that humid wilderness where the Bengal tiger stalked and the cobra coiled beneath its rock and the Vietcong lurked in ambush. This landscape which even the B52s could not finally obliviate or even penetrate becomes an emblem of the war for Caputo. The Cordillera, an enchanting and forbidding romantic landscape, comes to represent the constancy, the persistence of the archaic, the primitive, and the imaginary which define the quality of the war and its location Out There. ■ ,v : v. HoW then is this war finally our war? Both of these books, which may be about as close to the war as most Americans get, have severe limitations. They each deal with the war very strategically, reading its violence in the contexts of specific cultural myths or individual fantasies. Though these myths and fantasies may tell us something about the fascination and mystique of war, they fail to truly bring home the basic facts of what it is. Such knowledge is not bought cheap, and we should beware accepting the glib answers and easy solutions others would sell us. Perhaps, the best explication of the problem is summed up in a brief story passed on to Herr by a non-com on his third tour. ' Olatunji's powerful drums I Patrol went up the hill. One man came back. He died beforehe could tell us what happened. It’s part riddle, part bad joke, of course. Herr says it took him a year to get it, but then, as with all jokes, you had to be there ...

Steel-string guitar Grossman and Renbourn delight fans “sitting-on-the-floor-room-only” audience, the sly, by Steven N. Swartz There’s just no escaping the steel-string acoustic as someone op your hall guitar. It’s everywhere struggles with the first four bars of “Stairway to Heaven,” the sound filters down to your room. Step into an elevator and you might notice that a gentle strum has been added to the Muzak tape. Tunc your radio to AM, FM, or even Short Wave there’s that sound again. Therefore, it’s not surprising that many people take the instrument for granted. We lose sight of its heroic versatility and expressive power. As a matter, of fact, the acoustic steel-string guitar seldom gets the tribute it deserves. While many fine players do exist, the instrument is all too frequently a megaphone for a performer’s ego. True mastery exists only when the instrument is allowed to speak for itself.

While Grossman often had us in stitches with his wry comments on college life, the focus was always on the guitar. When the two players did duets, the effect was one of skillful and witty interplay never of duelling egos, however, this is not to say that Renbourn and Grossman are stylistic twins, each played a solo set in which we could appreciate the contrasts between their respective sounds and personalities. Grossman’s guitar sound was bright, percussive, syncopated. His voice is New York City streetwise funky as opposed to Mississippi rural funky, but hfc had the wit and style to make his blues renditions convincing. He played an old Gary Davis tune, ‘‘Cocaine,’, and John Hurt.s “My Creole Bell$,” introducing the latter with'a hilarious monologue about learning to play the guitar (in order to impress your girlfriend in' Rochester), But for many, the highlight of Grossman’s solo set .was in intrumental -J*C, y . ’ 1 r*-* ■ ���M movies I Watership Down' entertains An animated allegory from a rabbit's eye view by David Gurzynski When I first went to see Watership Down a few weeks ago at a spciai sneak preview, I was amazed to see more people seeing this new animated production than those going to see Animal House. How could a movie about rabbits hope to compete with a big box office hit like that? That question can only be answered after you see the movie for yourself, but I can tell you that it is well worth seeing. The movie is based on the novel "Watership Down" by Richard Adams, and as I have said, it is about rabbits. Hie three not lacking, although it more main characters are Hazel, Fiver, resembles the retelling of legends and Bigwig, who with several rather than religion in its modern other rabbits, leave their warren sense. There are only a few things (burrough) after Fiver gets a which did hot live up to my vision of the warren covered with expectations in this movie: its blood. The adventure revolves length, style ofanimation in some around their experiences as they scenes, and the music by Art try to find a proper location for a Garftfhkel. new warren and more mates. This movie is not as juvenile as it may From print to film The movie was only an hour sound; it is not merely a remake of Bomb! with different animals; and a half, and so lacked some of but then again it is not completely the development and continuity serious either. Martin Rosen has of the book. If you have not read done a very good job on keeping the book, you may be confused with the original spirit of the by some of the film’s vocabulary, story and creating a society for such as hrududu (an automobile), these rabbits; even a theology is Frith (God), and Elarhairah (the Maple Forest I &II HHN MM/nif reality, or credibility, because of an absence of sufficient detail which the book had, but its shortcomings are ■ only mildly noticeable. The animation was a work of art, in most places. It did not lack in detail (which I believe is the major fault of most animated movies) and the movement was very good. The characters did not look like they were separate from the ground on which they walked. The animati6n style (I should say the type of art) during the opening scenes (where the narrator explained about the creation of the world from a rabbit’s eye view, of course) resembled a folkdrawing or woodcut, which was a nice 1360 N.

The few problems with the animation were along the lines of interpretation, such as in the way that I saw the Black Rabbit of Inie, as compared to the way that the film portrayed him; its interpretation lacked the fear that surrounded him in the book. There could have been more care in the detail of the creatures, although they were admirably done. The song “Brighteyes” by Art Garfunkel is a very pretty song and it is quite well sung but I feel that it detracted somewhat from the basic theme of the movie, and approached the characters from the wrong angle.

Watership Down, because of its- animal, animated characters, suffers the more, for the reality of the movie must stand on the fact that our interest must be stimulated through analogy. Watership Down is probably one of the most enjoyable movies to come along in a while. Unlike other fantasy movies such as Star Wars, the plot is solid, the world in which the action takes place is our own, and the motivations of the characters are quite reasonable and justified by the plot. Unlike Wizards by Ralph Bakshi, Watership Down is not spaced out but rather spaced in, and if you can just suspend your disbelief for a time, you may find yourself quite involved with this “juvenile” movie.

Forget the aridity that whenever I tell my more sophisticated acquaintances aridity that whenever I te!l my more sophisticated acquaintenances that I'm i TV critic, I am met with strange looks and upturned noses. “Why bother?” they seem to say. Well, I understand their disdain but I feel I must bother. In terms of quality, television may not be aesthetically productive but it is aesthetically important by way of implication. Even if there is no art whatever on television, the. question of wlyt, artistically, TV lacks presents itself. Of course, this is just a negative way of asking "What is art?” a question important to me both as a philosophy student and as a film critic. A feature of television which strongly lends itself to this question is the TV commercial. While it is obvious that commercials are different from a sculpture by Henry Moore, a novel by Albert Camus, a toccata by J.S. Bach, or a film by Jean-Luc Godard, it is not obvious why they are different. The technique used in a Pepsi or Revlon commercial is staggering. These commercials are not just technically acute; they’re technically perfect. The best TV commercials represent the fullest utilization of the television medium yet achieved. And still, commercials are not art. It is clear then that art is more than technique, for if it were not, we would have to place Godard along side TV commercials and that would be impossible to live with..

Standing ovation! Encore! To be continued. " ” .. �Alma Brasilera' a Musical magic heard at the Tralf by Michael F. Hopkins Two men wove the spell of fesu this weekend past. A womb openly embraced and graced us with the bold flair of ritual dance. Out came the Makers of the Herb, robed with open air and coming dare of clean beauty. A thunder would rend the void with the turbulence of calm. Hereafter, a silence hungers. To the Tralfamadore Cafe came Egberto Gismonti and Nana Vasconcelos, offering the powerful tonal richness of Brazil. The overflow audience added its willing awareness to the cauldron already brimmed by magic forests, tribal folklore, and sun-trimmed earthen paths leading on. Shared, the Herb, took us by the hand onto such a path, and many -who tread the fine pavements spun those two nights may carry its directive forever. The path is more powerful than any yellow brick road because those who walk this way must already be something of a wizard, merely to grow. And to live to this music is not about anything describably as “mere” or “callous." And, to be dear. the Herb is Music. Transpose that onto whatever your preference of form. Or let it, and yourself, be. Not alone. .. Streams What is striking about Gismonti and Vasconcelos is the carefree, yet concise, flow they convey. On 8-string guitar, Gismonti can shimmer with harp-like delicacy in extremely high registers, or twang seemingly unreachable depths with an uncanny feel for applying so-called sounds within a rhythmic space to create a fantastic sense of harmonic intrigue. Nothing is wasted in Gismonti’s play, and nothing is left out. One could hear strong flavors of world flok musics congealing into a very compelling statement, and the word sang without inhibition. Vogues of Villa-Lobos, hear strong flavors of folk music congealing into a very compelling of Spanish Flamenco, all danced with delight. His piano work romps and caresses with a touch of rain fertility and high-stepping gospel, and it swelled the already-crowded Cafe with melodic thunder that ended every played converstaion. Brazilian wizard Egberto Gismonti. master of eight-string guitar and piano With vocalist Nana Vasconcelos, Gismohti enlivened the crowd at the Trail The water bearer tendency of his music appeared prominently in Gismonti's kalimba (finger piano). Again, he showed the softness of lightning along with the strength of a breath drawing air tenderly. Gismonti's wood flutes often brought an urge to dance the Sun Dance in the street, while his work on a many-bamboo-stalkcd reed instrument from Thailand crossed the rustic feel of the harmonic with the equally high eloquence of a brass choir. The eloquence was gritty with feeling. Cascades Supplying some of the raw fire of the Ages was Nana Vasconcelos (No quibbles, please on the name just sing it!). He brings to present the timeless spirit of the Drum calling the morning to reverent awakening. One moment found him crouched silently behind the cungas, aWaiting the proper moment to spring upright upon some lifting rhapsody woven by Gismonti. Another moment found him extracting the beat of Dance from his own body, dancing as he makes of himself the ultimate rhythm play; a lifebeat. At one point, Nana, using the berimbau, wove an echoing reach when the sound system rebelled via feedback. Not to be outdone by mere contrivances, Nana promptly transformed the feedback into a resonance of the Music! The moaning laugh Nana brought from the quica (talking drum) roared and chuckled with beautiful wit. The many unison runs between Nana and his instrumetn revealed a high skill that is versatile enough fo be human in penetrating depth, and the depth is rick with smiles of Brazilian Soul. Alma Brasilera, here. Together, Gismonti and Vasconcelos created a perpetula motivation for being alive. The evening was bold in simplicity, and the simplicity, bore a subtletely that carried dance beyond neon facetiousness, and into the Stars of one’s heart, beating down the streets. Trying new keys Genius and fool alike provide eclectic vision by DaitiBarrett Space has seen so much transmigration lately that modern sounds cannot stay on their respective planets.

Or the mix can be a positive solution, relying totally on one’s vision, If the persona unifies mosaic notes to create artful communication. Success hinges on eclectic strength, muse-brain using modern tools. A tool often fooled with by genius and hack alike is the keyboard, id est, electrified, brainchild of Buffalo’s Robert'Moog. On the debit side, this has allowed once innovative Ramsey Lewis to foist something called “Moogin 1 On” upon ears already jaded by his disco “classical” release, Legacy (Columbia). Lewis would have us believe him an amalgam of twentieth-century composers (see the cartoon-schizoid cover). His new image is as mayor of "MacDonaldland” jazz; this lame stuff is supposed to "do it all for you.” All that’s done here is a clumsy clone approaching none of its obviously stated goals. In short, a stinker in any language, to be avoided even by Lewis fans. If more care was taken with the classical side, and some true adventurousness was present in the music, then this dog might’ve been lively instead of a dead one.

First you get a laW passed, then you fight for its establishment.” The new law provides that opportunities available to the “normal" citizen must be made equally accessible to the handicapped person. Equal access requires the alteration of present facilities and practices to accomodate the handicapped s special needs, including changes in current teaching methods and special regard for the maintenance of public facilities. In 1976, The Independents (the organization for UB’s handicapped students) was formed by Tony Serra, the group's present treasurer.

The money is SA’s required fee for membership in the statewide lobbying organization. Former SA Treasurer Fred Wawrzonek refused to pay SASU but newly elected treasurer Jim Killigrew will release the money in installments. According to SASU Executive Vice President Ed Rothstein, UB described “a lack of cash” on hand as the reason for their failure to pay. Killigrew contends that Wawrzonek refused to pay because spending the cash would create a budget deficit. “By holding back the payments, Wawrzonek t tough I he would prevent the deficit in SA,” Killigrew charged. Instead of taking the lime to repay their debts, SA amply avoided them, Killigrew added. Schwartz said there wasn’t a “good reason” why SA did not pay SASU. “It reduced our credibility considerably and threatened the financial status of SASU,” he commented. The decision to pay the debt in installments was solely SA’s, Schwartz said. By paying the overdue bill in installments, the burden of making the payment in one lump sum has been solved. Since UB is the largest university center in the SUNY system, it also pays the highest of SI0.S6S owed membership fee in SASU. According to, Rothstein, “SASU has never received payment in installments before.” Rothstein added that given the choice, SASU would want the money in one lump sum. “Unfortuantcly, SASU does not have a choice,” the Vice President remarked. “If UB’s Student Association did not pay up SASU would have been in deep financial trouble,” Rothstein revealed- Rothstein is confident that SA will pay up, and as far as he knows the first check is in the mail. The new SA administration must also contend with other outstanding debts not paid by Wawrzonek. Debts owed to The Spectrum and The Buffalonian will be taken care of soon, according to Killigrew. iURANT • TERIYAKI • • YAKI 90BA MORI AWASE FULL DINNERS FROM *2.60 6 9 pm Closed Open Tues.

There’s so much phdniness that goes on under the cover of reform.” The words that have described Nader since his emergence as a public figure in 1965 still fit him today at age 44. Ascetic. Reedy, Intense. His spartan lifestyle and long work days were famous before anyone even cared that Jerry Brown had studied to be a Jesuit. One close aide said he has worked every single day since joining Nader earlier this year: “Ralph says, Tf you want to beat them, you got to work harder than do.’ This spring “they" won a major victory when Nader's Office of Consumer Representation went down to defeat on the House floor. The Office would have argued consumers’ interests before other federal agencies; in effect, it would have been the people’s lawyer. The bill’s defeat was widely perceived as a repudiation of Nader himself. Many observers said he had killed his dream with his own hands. He was “too arrogant, too abrasive,” out of 836-3177 ” Soften stands The criticism hasn’t changed his style. Or softened his stands. “Most of the big battles going on in Washington now are oii trivia,” he said in a recent interview. “Things that aren’t going to work. We’re dickerifig over micro-trivia. Things that sound good, but don’t make a difference ..” “Until we solve the problem of how to get Congress off the auction block,” he continued, “we’re not going to see Congress except in very small ways, pass legislation that shifts the possession of power more equitably to people who have the votes away from people who have the dollars.” By the time he’s finished speaking in his sharp, infinitely assured tones, you can almost see the congressmen bristling. “Abrasive” and “arrogant” may have only been the printable adjectives. Then there’s Nader’s view of President Jimmy . ' _ “He has not tried to root his campaign pledges in,the neighborhoods and communities around the country. He’s basically content to deal only with the organized interest groups in Washington. Once you do that, you’re down very subtantially from the beginning,” said Nader, himsilf the founder of a slew of organizations, centers, and study groups. Nader’s own legislative priorities continue to center around opening up government to as many people as possible: providing reimbursement for people who can’t afford to participate in government citizens to proceedings, allowing challenge government illegalities in court, and expanding federal consumer class action rights. “We have to develop new modes of citizen instruments, citizen action,” he said. But Nader isn’t exactly sure where the stydents of the 1970s fit into that new scheme of citizen action. where the conceptual gap is now “I think (is) trying to find what really grabs students. Very few people could have predicted that South Africa would become the biggest issue on campus last year. So, you know, it’s not like we got our finger on the pulse when we miss that kind of development.” Like many other observers, he thinks the student movement has stalled because the goals of the seventies are far more complex than the goals of the sixties. . .. . . In the summer of 1976, Nader made a well publicized visit to Plains to see Jimmy Carter, then the Democractic nominee for President. The two huddled inside, then went outside for one of Carter’s pick-up softball games.

That is, the goal of stopping the war was pretty clear. This is more of a process of advance with little goals, not one big goal,” he said. “And you need the big goals,” he continued. “The trouble is you’re not organized for the big goals yet.” Predictably, Nader believes, “the great are yet to come.” “It’s got to be made dramatic,” said Nader of his consumer movement. “There’s got to be emotion in it, not just the hard evidence of the abuses and remedies.

That’s how the Dow Chemical Corporation describes Agent herbicide Orange manufactured by the chemical to defoliate combat areas in Vietnam during the late 1960’s. But Robert Schafer and many other Vietnam veterans disagree. Shortly after returning from “Nam,” Schafer was plagued by numerous medical problems such as; numbness in his fingers, giant, used - headaches, increasing irritability and liver problems. He learned further that he had become impotent. first, At doctors were bewildered as to the source of his but they’ve now illness, pinpointed the culprit the “harmless” Agent Orange which Schafer was exposed to during his military stint in Vietnam. Although Schafer knew of the consequences, most G.I.’s exposed to Agent Orfcnge were unaware of the chemical’s dangers. Ex-Green Beret Milton Ross, remembers being told to “Wash it off when convenient.” “The stuff would remove aircraft paint, but all we had to do was shower and change clothes,” he said. For Ross, the agony of Agent Orange bypassed him. However, his son was born with,the last joint in his fingers and toes missing. Agent Orange is a combination of two herbicides. One of the components, 2-4-5-T, yields a dioxyn as a byproduct, which is directly responsible for the toxicity of Agent Orange. — Barry Commoner describes dioxyn as, one of the deadliest substances known to mankind.” Public attention The chemical has been proven to cause cancer in laboratory animals and causes liver abcesses, skin disorders, limb numbness, personality changes and birth defects, according to a World Health Organiztion (WHO) study of Vietnamese people. The issue of dioxyn poisioning was brought to the public’s attention this year when a Veterans Administration (VA) Counselor in Chicago, Maude DeVictor, began noticing similarities in the backgrounds of Vets filing health claims. The common element they were all in Vietnam within a certain period of time She recorded more than 50 cases of dioxyn poisoning before being ordered to cease correlating the dates by her supervisor. DeVictor then broke - the story to the press. A TV documentary aired by WBBM in Chicago, concerning the dhemical poisoning, resulted in 800 Vets contacting the Chicage VA office in an attempt to file claims. But the VA there and across the nation was anything but helpful in dealing with poisoning claims. The VA Hospital here in Buffalo would not comment on how many local Vets have filed such claims, but stated that those servicemen wishing to file a claim must first undergo a medical examination and then the claim would “go through the necessary channels.” Put on the defensive by the threat of a public health scandal initiated by veterans, the VA in Washington, D.C. circulated a memo instructing all offices to demand speific dates of exposure and sy mptoms. It also stated that there were no provisions for claims of genetic damage to children and that “mere exposure in itself is not a disease of disability.” Refusing to admit that the veterans’ problems were caused by a poisoning, VA dioxyn spokesman claimed WHO report was that, “the communist propoganda” and that “Agent Orange’s toxicity is no higher than that of aspirin.” Many Veterans groups, as the New York Citizen Soldier, and however, such based environmental organizations calling the VA’s beginning massive are by publicity bluff campaigns. But the issue of dioxyn poisioning reaches far beyond the VA and Vietnam. Dioxyn is presently sprayed over 5 millions acres of national forest land and is also found in commercial weed killers. Symptons of dioxyn poisioning were reported in Oregon, Minnesota, and Wisconsin after 2-4-5-T was sprayed in those areas. Dow Chemical, engaging in a relations compaign for 2-4-S-T, continues to manufacture the “harmless” Agent Orange with little interference. The strongest action taken to date has been by the Environmental Protection Agency which placed the agent on a list of “suspect chemicals.” public The same toxic chemical which has been linked to the poisoning of Vietnam veterans is suspected of being amoung the. contaminants in landfills in the city of Niagara Falls. Slate and federal researchers began their hunt for the suspect chemical after the Hooker Chemical and Plastics dioxyn Corporation notified the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) that the dangrous and elusive chemical might be present in waste dumped at a landfill at the city’s main recreational spot, Hyde Park. Furthermore, 2-4-5-Trichlorophenol, a chemical •associated with dioxyn, was discovered at the Love Canal site. Although Hooker claims it kept no records of what was dumped at tire Love Canal site, researchers have been informed that the company manufactured enormous quantities of 2-4-5-Tricholophenol prior to 1953; the date that the canal area was closed. Runoff water from the Hyde Park landfill which was tested at the agency’s Beltsville, Md. lab, showed no trace of dioxyn at 500 parts per trillion. Similarly, water supplies analyzed at the agency’s Edison, N.J. laboratory which can detect traces of dioxyn at 10 parts per billion, also failed to confirm the presence of the toxic chemical. However, EPA surveillance and Analysis Director Barbara Metzger described the test as inconclusive, pointing out that the level of dioxyn tested for was much higher than what can be considered critical. The toxic effects of dioxyn have already been demonstrated on laboratory animals at traces as low as 50 parts per trillion according to Arthur Gebertz of the EPA. Among the disorders dioxyn is responsible for are cancer,, liver abcesses, skin problems, limb numbness, personality changes, and birth defects. In initial work at the Love Canal, the two investigating agencies are for detecting a currently preparing monitoring system 2-4-5-Trichlorophenol. If a significant quantity of the chemical is discovered during excavation of the drainage trench located in die Love Canal site, more difficult and specific tests for dioxyn will be conducted.

Or perhaps you are pregnant and don’t know where to turn. Do you have a term paper due and need some revolutionary or commercially unobtainable material? If so, these are all valid reasons for visiting Emma, the woman’s Bookstore located at 2474 Main Street on the corner of Greenfield Street. Emma, named after three women, anarchist Emma Goldman and the fictional characters Emma Bovary and Jane Austin’s Emma, began its service to the women’s community two and one half years ago. It was founded by a woman professor at UB, who discovered that her students wanted more books for her course in Women’s Studies, but were unable to get them. From it meager beginnings in a van traveling from site to site, Emma has recently settled down to its present, more centralized location. It functions as both lesbian a collective of twelve and straight, whose singular compensation is the joy of bringing the women of Buffalo closer to themselves, their past, their bodies, and their culture through literature. concern is women,” “Our primary target related Lisa Heide, a collective member. “Emma stocks informational pamphlets, paperbak books (to keep costs down) and periodicals on topics ranging from health care; the women’s movement; labor and music; to the Third World. These are materials which are interesting to anybody.” Emma also carries a selection of non-sexist, anti-racist children's books as well as books for adolescents Posters, stationary, calenders, greeting cards, buttons and albums dealing with the history and goals of women can also be purchased. “Emma is a unique and revolutionary bookstore. People come to Emma to buy materials not availbale at larger commercial stores. Qur primary objective is to serve the community, not ourselves,” said another collective sister. Rose Anne Faraci. Besides Emma’s limited but growing inventory literature packed into one bookroom, a lending — library in the back is open to children and adults. These books are usually donated by libraries and private citizens, or are used but still in good condition. The collective invites people to stop and relax in their back room equipped with a sofa and enough books to delve into for hours. Another feature of Emma is their “free table and sizeable bulletin board. Anyone can place uncensored information or announcements here and much useful information is freely available. A recent addition to Emma is their arts and crafts section where local women can bring in their wares to sell. Emma actively suports the women’s cultural community through their sponsorship of film, concerts, and poetry readings. Past events include the Wallflower Dance Company and Izquierda, a Third World four women band from Oregon. Some upcoming events are a women’s arts and crafts Christmas sale and a performance by Mischief Mime, a women’s pantoraine group hailing from Ithaca. One stereotype that the collective is quick to deny is the “no men allowed” attitude. “We are able to serve the entire community because of our belief that the liberation of women is integral to the liberation of all oppressed people,” Lisa Albrescht, a long standing collective member emphasized. “We have literature written by both men and women, demanding no particular sexual preference. It takes dollars to turn a dream into a reality and the Emma collective knows this only too well. “Our recent move from Fillmore Avenue to Main Street has strained our budget,” Heide revealed. “However, we’re optimistic that the more people know about Emma, the more support we will receive. Finances at present are on an upswing.” Currently, Emma is applying for an Arts Development Services Grant which would help bring local poets and writers in and allow the co-op to buy more books. Some fund-raising events are in the planning stages and donations are always welcome. Gift certificates and “Emma coupons” are alternative ways of making donations. Emma’s Bookstore is open Tuesday through Friday between 3 p,m. and 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Any additional information can be obtained by calling 836-8970 during the specified hours. - — — ~ November 13, 1978 Porter Burglary A student reports that unknown persons removed a camera and one lens, from his room.

Califano estimates that in ten years the country could have as many as 150,000 “excess” physicians. In the early 1960’s, the Federal government’s concern for the shortage of physicians encouraged the expansion of medical school enrollment and facilities. As a result of the government ampaign, the number of graduating doctors jumped 100 percent between 1960 and 1975. Medicine here John School # of Naughton believes that “the point has been reached where the number of physicians graduating l> near the ideal level.” Naughton disagreed with Califano’s proposal to limit the number of doctors, saying, there is no need for a downward adjustment of enrollment, but rather the current level should be with adjustments substained, made proportional to need. Naughton believes that the physician “oversupply” is an oversimplified reaction to a more complex issue. “There is little doubt that terms of in and 'specialization geographic concentration that there is a problem,” he said, “but there are still broad needs that are not ' being met.” Naughton pointed to a critical lack of physicians in rural and inner city areas. Califano blames rising health care costs on the physician oversupply. According to Califano, excess doctors have been a contributing. 'factor to this $180 billion annual health bill. Califano contends that the medical system “runs directly counter to the usual working laws of supply and demand.” He that physicians make most of the decisions that control the health care marketplace consequently, governing the law explained - of demand.

According A December 1975 Newsweek article forecasted that by gtaduation day most college students “will be unable to write ordinary, expository English with any real degree of structure and lucidity.” It went on to say that students then preparing for college will write at only a minimal level of competence.

Western New York Peace Center Coordinator Walter Simpson identified a “technological imperative.” Advances in technology, have spurred the creation of very sophisticated weaponry. “It seems like there’s a tremendous movement to build them because ,we can, not because we need them,” Simpson said. Calling the Pentagon “the most wasteful bureaucracy in Washington”, Jimmy Carter promised two years ago to cut .military expenditures by at least $S billion if elected President. That pledge has completely evaporated, leaving in its plac6 the familiar spiral ofincreased defense spending. Carter’s fiscal year 1979 budget fattens the Pentagon’s an increase checking account by over $9 billion clearly above the rate of inflation. And the President last week proposed a three percent increase in military expenditures for fiscal year 1980 as well. Why has the President so drastically reversed his military policy? Unyielding pressure, both public and private, has had a huge effect. The military establishment is engrained so deeply into the American economy that almost every congressman has a missile or weaponry plant in his district. These plants are often tied to the economic survival of their communities since they employ large numbers of residents. Public pressure on congressmen is magnified by the lobbying efforts of such mammoth defense contractors as General Dynamics and Litton Industries and Boeing Corporation. - People killer An example is the neutron bomb, which kills with a burst of neutrons while leaving property and buildings undamaged. “Because the neutron bomb won’t Cause the physical destruction that other nuclear weapons would, its use will be viewed as less thinkable, or, in other words, more acceptable,” Simpson charged. Acceptable indeed. Buffalo congressman Jack Kemp (Rep. Hamburg), who has supported neutron bomb legislation in the past, feels that the device is “more humane” because it can be directed at a more specific area, thereby sparing innocent people, according to a spokesman. Recovering from a war would be easier, Kemp’s spokesman continued, because the neUtron bomb causes no physical devastation. Representative John LaFalce (Dem. Tonawanda), hasalso endorsed neutron bomb legislation. Behind the technological imperative is the dream of first strike power, the idea that one side could gain an equipment edge great enough to enable it to knock out the other’s offensive capabilities with one attack. — Less objectionable Regardless of the president’s reversal, do we need more money for the military? A study by Promoting Enduring Peace, a Connecticut based firm, suggests not bringing up long-standing claims of overkill. “Our present mlclear arsenal can kill every Russian 38 times and every person in the world 14 times,” the study revealed. “The United States and the Soviet Union together have firepower — - -continued on page 16 TWO-FACED: When Jimmy Carter was campaigning for the U.S. Presidency two yeers ago, he vowed to cut military expenditures by at least $5 billion.

The announcement, which came just before Election Day, has complicated the dangling fate of the Psychology Department and the Clinical Psychology division. Last spring, an accreditation team from the American Psychological Association (APA) finally renewed the Clinical Psychology program’s accreditation, only after it received a guarantee from the U niversity Administration that inadequate the facilities at Ridge Lea would be improved in future, the near according to Pomerantz. This promire was made even after the University, with plans to move the department to Parker Hall on the Main Street Campus, did not receive the necessary funding the in Supplemental Budget leaving the - Psychology Department confused and concerned about its jeopardized status. few small A renovations were made VP for Facilities Planning at Ridge Lea, but the administrators still planned to try to move the department to Parker next year as this shift was considered the “most feasible” thing to do, said Vice President of Academic Affairs Ronald F. John —Smith Bunn. Now,~with the announcement of funding for the planning of a Social Sciences building at Amherst, “nobody knows” what is going to happen to the Psychology Department according to Vice President of Facilities Planning, John Neal. “A decision will be made in the next few weeks,” he said. Meanwhile, the University Administration and the anxious Psychology Department are running out of time. Inadequate facilities at Ridge Lea still threaten the loss of accreditation of the renowned Clinical Psychology program. “If there is no sign of improvement within a year, there will be trouble,” claimed Pomerantz. Pomerantz cited another problem saying, “Even if the funds for the move to Parker are approved, it will take at least one year to renovate the building so the department can move into it.” Pomerantz also feared the State Division of Budget (DOB) might futher reduce rental funds currently allocated for Ridge Lea. Rental of the isolated campus costs this University over $300,000 per year. In the October, 1977 issue of American Psychologist the department was rated sixteenth in the nation in terms of research ' productivity.

Neal explained that before the design can start, the University must complete the planning and development of each project. “On some projects, such as the Gym, we have already completed this, he said. After the development is complete, the University Construction Fund then must contract an architect to design the building. “That can take up to a month, or, if there are contract difficulties even longer,” Neal said. Actual design will take up to a year or more. “Hopefully, if there are no constractual problems, in two years’ time the projects will be ready for construction,” he added. Neal continued, “These are all major construction projects, so actual construction will take a long time.” He further explained that appropriations for design does not mean that construction will follow soon after, “We still must go through the bond procedure and sell the bonds in order to build,” he take - emphasized. Earlier this year, Governor Hugh Carey announced $45 million in actual construction funding. That money will go to a number of projects, including Phase I of the gym, an engineering building and a music and chamber hall. a far as 1 can see,” Colucci claimed, “she was knocked down by the bus.” He said that Moshides then attempted to crawl onto the curb to avoid the oncoming bus. “If I hadn’t pulled her out of the way,” 1 he said, “her lower body would have been crushed by the rear wheels.” Accounts of other witnesses differed, however. In a sworn deposition, received by University Police, an undisclosed witness stated the Moshides “banged on the mirror of the stopped bus with her fist.” Then, according to the witness, “she fell where the bus driver couldn’t see.” He believes Moshides, who was taken to Sister’s Hospital “and sent home, was not hit. The driver of bus number 260, Ronald Buttermore, said in a statement to Blue Bird, “At no time was I aware that anyone was struck.” Director of University Busing, Roger McGill supports Buttermore, maintaining that Moshides tripped and fell. “From, my vantage,” said McGill, “it didn’t seem as" if the bus struck STRIKER 'STRUCK’: Ambulance attendants transport striking Blue Bird busdriver Marrianne Moshides to Sisters Hospital Monday afternoon.

The four structures currently entering the design stage are the second phase of the Gym, the second pahse of a Student Activity Center, a Social Science Building, and a computer center. Although construction of these projects is still years away, Neal termed the appropriation as a “positive development” towards completion of the Amherst Campus. “Although design has nothing to do with construction,” he said, “it’s a good start because we haven’t received any design money for a couple of Jim Colucci, student witness, Moshides could have been seriously injured. “As them.’.’ A student who picketed with the strikers was arrested by University Police.

Iw �Lack of revenue * I points by Uni vanity Learning Cantar It goes without saying that to write a good research paper, you must first be a competent researcher. Becoming familiar-with the procedures for locating information in the library is the first step toward a successful paper, and today’s column will discuss several important resources that will help you get off to a good start. If you’re having trouble deciding on a topic, or if you’ve already chosen One and don’t know where to start, proceed directly to the reference desk in the library. (Do not pass “Go”; Do collect $200 if you can get away with it somehow.) Ask the reference librarian to show you the “Pathfinder” volumes. There is a "Pathfinder” volume for the Humanities, one for the Social Sciences, and one for Science and Technology. Each volume contains an extensive list of narrowly-defined research paper topics. For each suggested topic, a list of sources (books, indexes, journals, etc.) is provided, along with the appropriate subject headings in the card catalogue. Before diving .into books and articles that contain specific information, however, it may be wise to read a general discussion of your subject. These can often be found in encyclopedia articles. Since they are intended for a general audience, encyclopedia articles provide a good overview of a topic and serve to acquaint you with the vocabulary that is needed to discuss the topic you’ve chosen to investigate. (A precautionary note: avoid listing encyclopedia articles in your bibliography. Although they are quite helpful, many professors aren’t interested in seeing them included in your bibliography.) Depending on your subject, you might consult a general encyclopedia such as Britannica, or for more specialized information. The International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences, or McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology. After choosing a topic and reading a general discussion, a good place to begin locating further information is the subject section of the card catalog. If you have trouble finding sources under a particular subject heading, you may not be looking under the right one. (Unfortunately, sources are listed under only one heading, and UB's subject catalog is not cross-referenced.) But don’t throw in the towel yet. Simply go to the reference desk and ask for the Library of Congress Subject Headings; here you’ll find subject headings cross-referenced, making it easy to spot the precise headingfor your topic. .; Another place to find information is in a bibliography. Surprisingly, bibliographies "(books containing an exhaustive list of sources) are for many highly specialized topics. (For example, there are bibliographies for Parapsychology and Bioethics.) To find out if there is a bibliography available for your topic, you can even consult a Bibliography of Bibliographies. For the most current information on your subject, you 11 have to look in periodicals. To locate relevant articles in journals and periodicals, several sources can be used. The most widely-known is perhaps the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature which lists articles published in popular magazines. To find articles in more scholarly publications, consult the Social Sciences Index, the Humanities Index, or for literary study, the annual MLA Bibliography. Indexes are also available for even more specialized areas. For example, there is a Business Periodicals Index and an Education Index. Today’s column has provided only a brief sampling of the vast wealth of resources that is available for library research. With the help of a reference librarian, you are sure to find what you need to research your topic thorough Don’t be deceived into thinking, “There aren’t any materials available on my topic.” In most cases the information is there, you just have to know how to find it.

The art glass windows, the barely visible under overhanging shallow roof and porch eaves, offer maximum leaves, contour privacy. These elements of architecture were the organic parts of the architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s plan to unite the interior and exterior in artistic form. The Darwin D. Martin house was a stucture, created. This prestigous asset acquired by UB in 1967, is honored as a National Historic Place and houses the UB Alumni Association. tourist Aronoff, Jason coordinator of the Western New York Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians, makes the rounds of this house every month and is well versed in its living past. “Wright had an intense love of land and intense dislike of fakery,” Aronoff declared. “His architecture is planned to fit the environment. It was ahead of the times, encompassing feelings; free and liberating, a. flowing from room to room, a sense of placing people in their spaces,” related Aronoff. The Martin House was built from 1904 to 1906, utilizing the “prairie style” architectural of the rectangular elements the structures as is displayed in the brick exterior of the Martin House. The contrast between the horizontal and vertical lines continues within the interior of the building in the design of the fireplace, pillars, art glass, windows, furniture and even fabrics.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture was considered to be at its best between the years 1899 and 1914. Yet Wright was not widely praised until 1914, when his work took him to Europe. Subsequently interest caught on in America. Wright was acclaimed for his ability to successfully deal with space.

The Martin Complex was finished for the Martin family in 1906, and remained under their ownership until 1935. Unfortunately by 1950 some decompsition of the structures had occured and during that decade the three houses permanently separated. The Martin House laid vacant for some years until UB purchased it in 1967. After restoration, it became the residence of Jhen UB President Martin Meyerson.

Shonn, pointing to the increasing demand for student off campus housing said, “I would like to get the information out to the student body at large.” The main problems encountered by students, according to GLS Assistant Director Phil Dinhoffer, are violations of the New York State Housing Code, such as broken pipes or faulty wiring. Another complaint is the witholding of security deposits by landlords, an action that many students deem “unfair”. Shonn said, “Damage deposits should be pro-rated by the cost or extent of the damage. He added that deposits should not simply be liquidated just because damage is discovered. Simplify the lease On November 1, 1978 a new law was passed known as the “Plain Language Law,” which states that leases must be written in simple, understandable terms. GLS hopes to have a model of the simplified lease ready for distribution to interested off-campus landlords and tenants within a week. GLS Director Stephanie Kratchak said “We don’t know yet if the ignores has few alternatives. A student can fix the problem himself, and hope to get reimbursed, or a tenant can withhold part, or all, of his rent. The latter choice provides the landlord with legal grounds for eviction. Shonn believes, “Student tenants should not be put in an eviction situation just to bring attention to lousy conditions.” Shonn offered suggestions to avoad this extreme recourse, pointing out that a tenant should prepare an inventory of the apartment’s condition upon arrival. In addition, when both parties sign a lease, there should be an understanding that if conditions are not maintained, the landlord can be sued for damages in Small Claams Court. Arbitration??? Shonn hopes that in the future an informal dispute mechanism using the University for the source of arbitrators, will settle disputes without worrying about the legalities of court.” He noted, “This would be a speedier way to work out problems that exist during the term of the lease.” In addition, Shonn stressed the importance- that tenants bring tangible documents when coming to see attomies to simplify understanding of the problems. GLS is also starting a new complaint file where student gripes about landlords and specific houses will be kept on record for future renters to check. These files will be cross-referenced in the OCH and NYPIRG offices to help students avoid recurrent problems.

The Animal Protection Institute of America (API) announced last week that student and faculty across the nation will be asked to participate in a drive to persuade college administration's to adopt courses in “ethics in experimentation” as a way of curbing the so called “morbid” over-use of animals in lab work, science research and student instruction. API Prsident Belton P. Mouras announced that the national campaign is aimed directly at those campuses where future experimenters are trained. “Nearly all authorities agree that a percentage, a probably high percentage, of the more than 100 million animals annually sacrificed could be saved or not used with to damage any science or society,” Mouras stated. Well-prepared and intellegent courses, stressing humanity and offering effective alternatives to experimenting with live specimens, can give beginning and advanced students in the life and sciences ”a biological sufficiently good background so they’ll know when the use of animals is justified and when it is preparatory Fraternity offers fellowships Alpha Lambda Delta, the national freshman honor society is offering 12 fellowships for graduate study.

Although we feel the drivers have been treated unfairly even cruelly by some of the firm's work rules the issue does not end there. It is unrealistic to demand that the University Administration actively support the drivers. The school contracts with the company; and that contract forces Blue Bird to keep buses running even in the case of a strike. Administrators can hardly be expected to insist on continued service and then support the interuption of that - — service. But the ban on picketers is a different story. Here the University gets directly involved in the strike by clearly supporting the company. The ban comes without much thought at a school whose history has been heavily influenced by the exercised right to demonstrate. By contracting for daily bus service, the Administration accepts the drivers as members of the University community. Their right to picket should be respected accordingly. The student side must face an equally perplexing dilemma. How can students support the drivers without supporting the complete snarling of service and the shut-down of the University? Some would say a shut down is necessary- But we take a more practical view.. If the Administration closes the school. Blue Bird is suddenly off the hook. The company can cut service way back and the pressure to keep the buses rolling dissipates. The firm can thus breathe easier, and stand firmer, while students caught between campuses suffer. The drivers have lost their cutting edge. Nonetheless, we reject the attitude that the strike is strictly a labor/management dispute and does not involve students. The drivers are fellow members of the University community and their struggle is no less a part of life here than the bus runs themselves. Uninvolvement is tacit support for the company, which has shown little regard for the drivers and might show just as little concern for students' safety or comfort. But not to be forgotten is the real and present danger some of the disruption tactics have brought. We are hard pressed to support rock-throwing at moving buses. There are other instances where the drivers have gone too far, imperiling the well-being of those who have chosen to remain uninvolved. The right of students to travel between campuses is not suddenly irrelevant now that the striking drivers need support. The two goals must be balanced, although it is surely easier and morally purer to shout otherwise. Picketing, leafleting, jamming the buses, stirring an awareness of the drivers' mostly reasonable demands all are legitimate methods of support. The Blue Bird firm deserves to be embarassed and embattled. The drivers deserve our backing. And students deserve to live undisrupted lives. There is no separating these three concerns. SA Senate iaywednesdaywedn fiasco concrete student action should be undertaken to hasten construction of the Amherst Campus (such as To the Editor On Friday, November 10, we attended an SA Senate meeting. Having never witnessed a gathering of our undergraduate representatives, we were curious as to what exactly takes place. To put it bluntly, the meeting was one of the most ridiculous events we have ever attended. The Senate is dominated by special interest groups, narrow minded people, pettg infighting as well as good, old fashioned stupidity. At any rate, they certainly do not represent the undergraduate student body as we know it. The meeting began at 3 p.m. and when we left at 7:30, it was still going on. We realized that nothing had been accomplished up to that point except the passage of a rather meaningless resolution supporting the striking Blue Bird bus drivers (but not without at least a half hour of debate, much of which was inane babble). Like most undergraduates, we support the Blue Bird bus drivers. But just what did this resolution accomplish? More importantly, the Senate as a whole displayed a striking lack of foresight and imaginative thinking. For example, at one point, the issue of follow-up action to the demonstration against Governor Carey was suggested. Just as we started to gel interested, a senator raised a question concerning the legality of a certain SA executive in sponsoring the demonstration in SA’s name, without the Senate’s approval. He was soon joined by his friends, and the topic quickly turned to a question of legality superimposed on blatant personality conflicts. This went on for at least an hour, and although a few constructive suggestions were made, they were usu; illy ignored by the majority of senators, Very lit 11 discussion took place concerning exactly what - pressure on area newspapers and political representatives to band together and achieve our goals). Other examples of SA’s behavior: Very often while one senator was speaking, many others were not paying attention to what was — being said. This often included those who were supposed to be running the meeting; It was obvious that some senators had no grasp of campus issues that affect us all (i.e., Follett Bookstore issue); As the meeting went on, the number of senators dwindled down considerably. If someone chooses to become an SA senator, they should at least stay for an entire meeting; There was at least one group in a corner that voted as a block (no matter what the issue) following, like sheep, a certain unnamed leader; Repeatedly, time after time, debates had to be stopped to explain parliamentary rules to — - objecting senators; Personality conflicts were rampant. People work together. The above is only a general overview of what went on at this fiasco. Much more could have been written. We wrote this letter inllopes of sparking much needed change in student government here at UB. As shown by the recent resignations, etc concerning SA, we feel something should be done. There are too many important issues that must be dealt with- concerning UB to have student representatives wasting time and money with useless, were just not willing to immature bickering. George A.

The Senate refuses to allocate funds to the UB Strike Support Committee (895-6561) or the strikers because it fears a reaction from Dr. Ketter.

Third World Week ’78 is being organized by the Third World Student Association as a continuation of Third World Week '76 and ’77. Its purpose is to inform the Buffalo community of the nature and conditions affecting U.S. minorities and the peoples of the Third World, of the factors that are responsible for the same, and of the resultant impact globally. The U.S., to maintain the profit system, relies on the pluhder of the resources and cheap labor of the Third World as well as the exploitation of a discriminated labor force respond to at home. Both realities an inter-related historical process. While underdevelopment in the Third World is the product of years of foreign domination, racial inequalities in the U.S. are the legacy of racial oppression and exploitation of minority peoples. Racism is economically useful to achieve a maximization of profits. It is also used to create divisions, thus preventing the development of a common consciousness. It is a powerful yet false ideology with a world view that cannot explain the FT actual conditions facing not only minorities in the U.S., but also blacks in South Africa, Indians in the Americas, Asians in Vietnam, etc. Racism attempts to justify these conditions and sees the victims as culprits of their own destiny. However, Third World people as well as U.S. minorities have begun to respond to injustices being forced upon them,. Recently struggles have sharpened in Iran, Nicaragua, Zimbabwe, South Africa as well as in Tupelo (Miss.), New York, Nashville, etc. What is the relationship between these mass movements? How are they connected? A distinguished group of speakers will address these questions. They will also try to bring an understanding of why minority groups came to this country and how racism developed affecting the whole of society. These issues will be explored also in their connection to Third World countries. clarifications To the Editor. I am writing in regard to the article concerning the Physical Therapy Department which appeared in The Spectrum, 11-8-78. 1 am a Senior in the Physical Therapy Department. Joe Simon, who wrote the article, called me approximately one week prior to the printing of the article and asked my views on the “overcrowding” situation which exists in the department. Since he did not make it clear that he was talking about admissions policies, I had no idea what point he was trying to make. There is no problem of overcrowding in the department. It is true that the number of people trying to gain admittance to the P.T. program increases every year, but it is not feasible to keep raising the number of people who are accepted for the purpose of lowering the attrition rate. Almost any Senior in P.T. will tell you that fhey would prefer a class even smaller than Third World Student Association 50. Staunch and raunch supporters To the Editor. I’d like to give credit to the one “wild and crazy guy” who helped turn around the UB football program as much as anyone else: the dapper Uncle Vito. This frenzied soul epitomized support for our Bulls. They were 0-4 on the road, and (counting the Canisius game), 3-1 at home. The obvious reason for such a dramatic difference is the almighty home crowd advantage. The fans were loud and boisterous and behind the Bulls 150 percent. And who daringly led the cheers? The dashing Uncle Vito. What motivates this debonair fellow is beyond me. But 1, along with 1,000 other people, love him for it. Uncle Vito will be sorely missed by his staunch supporters. In just one season, he has become something short of a legend. 1 hope through his antics. Uncle Vito has inspired his fans to return next year and to help the Bulls gain a winning season. Uncle Vito: I tip my hard hat to you. We’re gonna miss ya. Bird Abortion coverage: the rights To the Editor. When a majority of the Supreme Court on January 22, 1973 struck down all the states’ laws against abortion, the issue was immediately raised of what then are the legal rights of those who object to abortion. Pro-abortionists going on the offensive appealed to the courts to rule that.any hospital that received Medicare payments had to open its facilities for abortion. The courts said no. The rights of institutions were then protected, but the rights of individual objectors to abortion are under a cloud. What of their rights to appointment and promotion in the medical professions, or even of their right to enter professional schools? Many will tell you that the heat is on to conform to the abortion mentality. Of its very nature the abortion mentality needs to deny that any question of conscience is involved. It will not allow exception, but can this presumption be allowed to remove all protection frqm conscientious objectors to abortinn? It may be that no doctor or nurse can be required to perform or help perform an abortion. But anyone can be required to clean up afterwards. At one area hospital even attendants of high school age are required to remove the remains from the suction apparatus, or the table and carry them to the pathology lab where the “products of conception” will be measured and a fetal death certificate signed. Being at the bottom of Physical Therapy is not a program where you can go to class, take notes, go home and memorize of conscience efforts so far is encouraging. It convinces us that opposition to this policy runs deep, orl this campus, and we want Sub Board to know it, a Sub Board that may have suspected this is so when it decided on this policy during the summer when most students were away. We need volunteers to further our petition effort. We can be reached at: University of Buffalo Rights of Conscience Group, c/o S. Krasen, Squire Hall, Box 22, or at 838-5568 (evenings). We will be reserving tables at Squire and Norton Halls where we will have petitions ready for signing or taking. The University of Buffalo Rights of Conscience Group is just that. We are not an avowedly “pro-life” group. Many have signed our petition solely because they respect conscience and believe that no one should be forced to pay for abortion. The University of Buffalo Rights of Conscience Group is not a “pro-choice” group. We leave the issue of abortion itself to the larger society and individual efforts. As a group we are focused on the limited question of the University of Buffalo’s mandatory student health insurance plan and its mandatory payment for abortion. We are people of many different philosophies and beliefs, from different backgrounds, different nations. We reflect the variety of this world, but on this we agree that the rights of conscience of many students at this University are- being violated and we are aroused and opposed to it. There can be no justification for this roughshod disregard of one of the highest faculties humanity possesses conscience! Certainly not when conscience is here weighing a matter of life and death. We will not accept, cannot reconcile ourselves to any policy that forces anyone to pay for what they believe to be the killing of innocent human life. This runs counter to the spirit of American law which in our lifetime has greatly expanded the rights of conscientious objectors to war. The rights of conscientious objectors to abortion should be even more established and respected given that the unborn are not aggressors. We ask then for respect of conscience. The word respect means “to look again,” and we are asking, demanding, that Sub Board “look again” not only at their policy but at the people whose consciences they have chosen to ignore. - the institutional totem they are typically assigned to this task as if there were no difference between abortion and other operations. We students at the University of Buffalo are now confronted with an attempt less direct but just as sure to involve conscientious objectors to abortion in the abortion system. This is the action of Sub Board I to demand as part of our mandatory student health insurance coverage for abortion, which coverage levies on each student who needs the insurance an additional dollar’s payment. These bills are going out now and they demand the They conscientious objector farthanmore than a dollar.moral a sacrifice of demand nothing less principles. Those who would reduce this issue to the matter of a dollar are being obtuse, choosing to ignore that objectors gladly pay what is a greater amount for pregnancy coverage, choosing to ignore Stephen Krason, Co-Chairperson that there is a quantum leap between general health Tori Ann Kolinski, Co-Chairperson care and the abortion procedure.

It requires much one-to-one interaction between the students and instructors. The Senior class is split up into three laboratory sessions a week, and each of these takes place at a local hospital. To accomplish this, we must first find a hospital that is willing to give up part of their P.T. Department and work their schedules around a group of students three days a week, and then we must have patients willing to work with the students. For other laboratory sessions, the size' of the lab at school and the amount of equipment in the lab are limiting factors. The number of faculty members available for lab sessions is also a limiting factor. One-to-one communication with the faculty is one of the most important parts of a Physical Therapy education. We have to build evaluation skills and then form treatment programs based on the evaluations we perform. This cannot be accomplished through lectures alone. We need the closeness and good individual rapport we have with our faculty. As my conversation with Mr. Simon was coming to an end, he asked about my personal complaints about the Department. When 1 assured him I had none, he reacted with disbelief and said that he probably would not use any of what I said in his article. I didn’t understand why until I read the article. Mr. Simon was out to get the Physical Therapy Department and did not Want to use any information which might interfer with the mood he was trying to set. He was trying to make the P.T. Department look cold and unfeeling concerning their admissions policies. Mr. Simon doesn’t know or did not bother to explain about the long hours and hard work the faculty puts in in making their acceptance decisions. He has also never seen the effect it has on a faculty member when they have to tell someone that they were not accepted What Mr. Simon failed to mention are the good things about the P.T. Department. The faculty is devoted to the education of their students. They all put in more than an 8-hour day. We have instructors who are known nation-wide for their expertise in therapeutic exercise tepjiniques and Physical Therapy modalities. They Treat us as individuals. Most importantly, they listen to what we have to say. We are not students passing through three years in the department bn a conveyor belt with no input into the way the department is run and the courses are taught. Some students sit in at faculty meetings and all P.T. students are asked to contribute ideas to better the department. There is an integration of faculty and student ideas and the outcome is the operation of a Physical Therapy Department which improves with every year. How many students at UB can say of this about their departments? I’m sure there are some and the rest of the University should know about them. There is too much negativism concerning UB presently, so we should be searching out the good things and making them public instead of trying hard to look for negative things. Please Mr. Simon, try to be more objective next time. I do not mean this letter as a personal attack against Mr. Simon, it just seems a shame that with so many good things to write about not one of them found their way into his article even though some of them were brought to his attention by myself. I know how hard it is to get in, 1 went through all of the frustrations and worrying too, but the P I Department is trying hard to select people who they feel are best suited for careers in Physical Therapy.

By day, the newly widened intersection at Millersport and Frontier Road on the Amherst Campus is a welcome relief. By night, it is a safety hazard for anyone who dares venture down this unlit byway. Instead of street lights marking the entrance from Millersport, there is an obscure sign and a barrel (mind you, just one) with white lines painted on it, which proves to be merely another obstacle to avoid hitting than a useful marker. If you actually find Frontier Road at night, you're not out of trouble yet. Bounded on one side by a car-eating gully and on the other by Lake LaSalle, the average driver risks injury to self and auto with one wrong move.

Although the final outcome is buried in bureaucratic red tape, we as students should not let ourselves be intimidated by Carl C. Cavage, The affairs of our University should be of no concern to Mr. Cavage. This is our University, not Mr. Cavage’s, and we should not allow a ruthless cutthroat capitalist robber-baron record entrepreneur to tell us how to The ruti our University. Mr. Cavage has stated our Record Co-op is an infringement on his “right to free enterprise” We say, "Bullshit.” To our knowledge ho student has ever told Carl C. Cavage how to fun his record stores; so why is Mr. Cavage being allowed to tell us what to do with our Co-op? We as students could care less what Mr. Cavage does with his record stores (besides the fact he has driven all the local competition out of business, one way or another, and is attempting to do the same to us). It is exactly issues such as this that give students the feeling Dr. Ketter is totally negligent of student wants and needs. Many students cannot afford to pay the exorbitant prices charged for records by businesses such as Mr. Cavage’s. We not only should be allowed to have our Co-op, but as students we cannot afford to be without one. The exact reason Dr. Ketter wishes to appease Mr. Cavage is unknown to us. Perhaps, pressure from the board is forcing Dr. Ketter into a poor compromise. Our board of directors is comprised of many men with similar views and goals to Mr. Cavage. (Many are wealthy businessmen, who probably belong the same clubs and travel in the same social circles as Mr. Cavage.) But what care we of that (we are not wealthy businessmen, we are students)? Local politics should have nothing to do with our Co-op. We as students should have the right to run our Record Co-op as we see fit, without outside interference from ‘across the street.’ Mr. Cavage should not be allowed to infringe on our ‘right to free enterprise.’ v * ' Most people at this University are aware of our lawsuit with Cavage’s, yet hundreds of students still patronize his University Plaza Record Store every day. The Spectrum runs his record ads, and no one seems to care. We ask; “Why?” We don’t need Mr. Cavage, Mr. Cavage needs us! We as students are this University. We as a whole have the power, to mold our Record Co-op into whatever we want. ‘Students of this University Unite,, you have nothing to lose, but your chains!’ - Frtd K.

Meet RACHEL BERKEY Placement Director November 16th-10 am 4 pm - for a Personal Interview * I The reason is that Americans have consistently ignored facts about the Shah and Iran that are all too evident to Iranians themselves. After 25 years of the Shah’s White Revolution and billions of dollars in oil revenues, three out of five rural families are either landless or nearly landless. Millions of agricultural workers have been uprooted, forced into the cities in Search of work. U.S. newspapers have reported the Shah’s comments about education for years; they have paid far less attention to the fact that 60 percent of the adult population remains illiterate. Over the years Americans have read much about Iran’s 2500-year-old monarchy. It seldom has been shown, on our television screens that the Shah’s family only gained power in fhe 1920s when his father overthrew the constitutional government; tljat the Shah himself kept his thrown in the 1950s only by overthrowing another constitutional government; and that this year the Shah has kept power again only by ordering the most brutal public killings since the Constitutional Revolution that ended in 1911.

In downtown Tehran, the Shah’s troops until now considered a bulwark against communism and terrorism fire American-made rifles into a crowd of 2000 unarmed demonstrators staging a peaceful sit-down strike. A European eyewitness says the scene reminds him of a firing squad. The British Broadcasting Corp. estimates that in 45 minutes the Shah’s troops have killed 475 of their own countrymen. What is happening in Iran, until so recently considered, along with Israel, America’s most stable ally in the Mideast? What is happening to the Shah, until the latest killings considered not only a loyal friend of America, but also a model of enlightened Third World leadership? The size and intensity of the disturbances have shaken the Shah. They also should have shaken a quarter-century of American myths about the oil-rich Asian nation and its repressive royal autocracy. Since 1953 when the CIA helped overthrow the constitutionally elected Iranian government led by Dr. Muhammed Mossadeq, American diplomats, officials and the press have protrayed Shah Mohammed Reza Pah lav i as a “popular reformer” distributing land to the poor, eradicating “feudal inequality” among his subjects, .performing “economic miracles” with Iran’s oil revenues and creating “an island of stability amid Middle East Chaos” that meant a better life for the country’s 36 million people and also served U.S. strategic interests.

Harsh military rule marks the Shah’s faalure to get any opposition group to form a government or to participate in one. The Shah’s announcement of military rule on Iran radio was apologetic and defensive in tone, as he conceded that most of the strikes were justified and tl\at torture and corruption had prevailed. Particularly troubling to the upper echelons of the U.S. government is the seeming impossibility of any effective intervention. The present popular upsurge is very different from the one in 1953 When less than $100,000 in CIA funds and a few agents headed by Kermitt Roosevelt could turn the tide against Muhammand Mossadegh and restore the Peascock Throne. The enormous expansion of the officer corps has impeded reliable intelligence on its varying political aspirations, and the soldiers themselves arc-, less likely to support the Shah- It should be remembered that the demonstrations of the last few months have'all taken place under martial law.

Right now the high price of oil from Iran is offset by the Shah’s huge arms mainly from U.S. These sales, which have been under pressure for the last few months, now hang in the balance. U.S. economic involvement in Iran is immense. Over a quarter of all current arms sales from U.S. companies are earmarked for Iran. As of the end of 1977, U.S. banks held $2.2 billion in loans to Iran, of which $1 billion was due in one year or less. This does not include U.S. bank loans to American corporations meeting contracts to Iran. —Threats to the fuel supplies of South Africa, Israel and Japan. —The possibility of a major geo-political set-back for the United States.

Stocking up The strike by Iranian technicians in the fields of Khuzesfan province has already cut the flow of crude to the shipping terminal on Kharg Island from 5.5 million barrels a day to 700,000 as of early November. The strike involves some 19,000 workers in the oil fields, and several local tanker pilots, thereby stranding 20 to 30 tankers awaiting cargo off Kharg island.

As long ago as 1975, it was costing Iran $9000 per man per month for the 20,000 technicians involved in installation and training of defense hardware: a bill of $2.16 billion in all. For other countries, the prospects for an interruption in trade with Iran are equally dire. Aside from specific defense sales, to take one example, the Shah despite his bquntiful supplies of natural gas launched himself in 1974 on the nuclear path. Four power plants are now being built by the West Germans and French at a cost of $10 billion. The remaining 16 from West Germany’s Kraftwerk Union will probably be cancelled. — - - — Scarcity ofofl Three nations may be especially hard hit by the Iranian oil shut-off. The first is South Africa, a country which produces —continued from almost no oil of its own. But 20 percent ot its overall energy needs is furnished by oil, and some 90 percent of this oil comes from Iran. Even without the possibility of a UN embargo of oil supplies South Africa now faces a calamity: expensive purchases of scarce oil on the spot market, with corresponding drain on gold reserves. This pressure will have a redoubled effect in Rhodesia, whose oil supplies are smuggled through South Africa. Scarcity of oil, crucial to transportation in South Africa, has evident military consequences. Israel also relies on Iran for morythan half its oil supplies. If Iran supplies are cut off, Israel’s reliance on other foreign sources will be doubled. Producers such as Mexico may take up some of the slack, but the real pressure will be on Egypt, whose bargaining power in the final stages of the Can»p David agreements has thus been abruptly increased. The Japanese, who in 1973 drew 40 percent of their supplies from Iran, have had the foresight to diversify their sources. Only 19.5 percent of the country’s needs page 13— Afghanistan tilts to the Soviet Union; the 'jnilitary regime in Pakistan is shaky; the Shah totters. Amid such far-ranging upheavals, an accord between Israel and now come from Iran. Even so, Japan which has 90 days supply of oil — already experiencing contraction. On the diplomatic front, the present collapse of the Shah has equally dire consequence. Since the start of the cold war Iran has been perceived by one adminsitration after the other as the pillar of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. It is an extraordinary irony that ot the very moment President Carter is hailing the onset of peace in the area superintended the American position of by the U.S. dominance is being threatened. It had always been the view of critics of Camp David that a seperate peace between Israel and Egypt might be palatable domestically (in all three countries) but could have most unpleasant consequences elsewhere. The - — are consequences rapidly becoming apparent: friendly relations between Syria and Iraq (which is a major oil supplier and which has a large army); the increasing caution of King Hussein towards the spirit of Camp David; threats to the security of Saudi Arabia as a result of the crisis of the Shah; and a orsening geo-political picture. Eygpt becomes much reduced in political i importance. For Iran itself, the overall crisis will persist no matter what happens in the next days and weeks. Iran has supported its economy on oil, which won’t last indefinitely. It will run out, on some accounts, towards the end of the 1980s, and then Iran will have no money to buy food to feed its population. This is the harsh reality behind the: Shah’s dream of an industrial empire he had.hoped would rank as the fifth greatest in the world. His achievement, contrary to such hopes, has been the almost impossible feat of uniting every class against him. What Iran is presently experiencing is a popular revolt. In this situation he can rely on no one. For what will happen if the soldiers themselves refuse to turn their guns on the conspirators against the Peacock Throne the large bulk of the Iranian people? — U.5. hypocrisy Why the Shah coverage? Ordinarily, The Spectrum would never approach international news with the depth of coverage the Iran turmoil receives on these pages. Why the exception? Well, not only did we have well-written insightful analysis at hand to run for this edition, but we saw in the Iran issue a chance to introduce, with some degree of sophistication, the twisted morality of the global power game as played here by Jimmy Carter. Carter is bobbing in an undertow of hypocrisy as he continues to support the Shah of Iran’s oppressive and at times ruthless reign. Critics have seized on the President’s tough-guy human rights stand in the Soviet Union, wondering loudly why the U.S. can be so firm with Russia’s violations and so loose with the Shah’-s tyranny. The Iran crisis shows clearly the political and economic threadings that weave the President into hopelessly incompatible stands. There is no way, finally, for Carter to sound the fanfare of human rights equally across the globe and live with wrecked power structure and political embarrassment his trumpets would signal. But it is a dilemma worth studying, for the American Presidency now hinges on the balancing of competing interests, whether they be global, or national in scope. It is not difficult to see how Carter was backed into a corner by the Shah. Iran is the world’s second largest oil producer and occupies a critical position in the balance of Middle East power. The U S. ecpnomy was eager to feed the Shah’s gargantuan appetite for sophisticated weaponry. With the Camp David accords no firmer than a Georgia marsh, Carter must be horrified by the threat of a Shall overthrow and a doubly-discouraging setback in the Middle East. The weaker the Shah’s rule becomes, the more-it costs the U.S. as oil prices climb, arms sales fall and the OPEC nations tighten their grip on the world economy. But yet the human rights violations of the Shah remain, aggravated by Carter’s cooly-received moral stands elsewhere in the world. America has supported totalitarian regimes in Chile and Vietnam, among other places, but the Iranian hypocrisy comes at a time when America and its President are aspiring to the role ofmoral guardian for the world. For this reason, we sought to at least introduce the issue and leave our readers to contemplate its implications. -Jay Rosen - Protest oppressive rule Workers defy orders of Shah; oil production trickles Oil production continued wells of this internally-torn nation Monday and Tuesday as most of the 37,000 striking oil workers defied a military government order to return to the fields. However, an a blow to the opposition ot Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi’s reign, workers in TEHRAN, Iran — to trickle through the the capital city of Tehran failed to heed the call for a one-day general strike. Oil workers struck October 3 1, in opposition to the Shah’s oppressive rule, demanding the freeing of political prisoners and the ousting of foreign oil workers. The Shah, who instituted a military government in' the wake of daily demonstrations and violent- opposition, has offered a 22 percent wage hike to the workers. Iran is the world’s second biggest exporter of oil. American corporate officials and workers have fled the country during the violence while anti-Shah protests continue to pit troops and police against angry townspeople. At least two dozen people died in last weekend’s clashes, concentrated around the oil-producing towns. Despite threats of massive firings, the oil workers have remained idle, dropping Iran’s oil prdduction from 5.7 million to 2.7 million barrels a day. A 9 p.m. curfew remains in effect in Tehran as soldiers patrol universities and public squares where rallies might begin. Newspapers and radio stations have been virtually shut down by the government. Schools remained closed as teachers throughout the nation called a strike that is expected to last another three or four days. Meanwhile, speculation flared that the embattled Shah would attempt to calm the nation by ending the strikes, then offer a coalition government with the opposition National Front.

The Shah’s religious opponents have been equally misrepresented. Dismissing them as Islamic reactionaries is a little like accusing liberal Catholic reformers in Latin America of wanting to bring back the Inquisition. Iran’s religious authorities support the national Front’s demands for constitutionals™ and a neutralist foreign policy. They also Want to establish Islamic social justice: Outside observers frequently forget that, like Christianity, Islam has a stong strain of social egalitarianism. By ruling through a small, rich and largely ,onupt elite, the Shah has offended the belief in fundamental human equality that many Moslems share. Far from wanting to return Iran to the Middle Ages, many of the Shah’s religious oppenents want to use the tools of modernity to realize their philosophic ideals, which include distributing Iran’s oil wealth more equitably, eliminating mass poverty and taking action against corruption among the ruling elite. Millions demonstrate The reason opposition to the Shah is centered in the mosques is that with all secular means of opposition rigidly suppressed, the mosques have been the only non-govemment forums allowed to function in the country. While the opposition leaders predominantly come'from the clergy and the intelligentsia, the millions of Iranians who have demonstrated the salaried against the Shah come from the three majof groups middle classes, especially teachers, engineers and white-collar employees and university students; the commercial middle class, particularly shopkeepers, small merchants and self-employed craftsman; and the urban working class, notably factory workers, day laborers and other low-paid wage-earners. United by the opposition’s rallying cry “End the Dictatorship” these three groups each have special social and economic grievances that the Shah has ignored. Over the last five years, the salaried middle classes have been hit by a 200 percent rise in food prices, while rents have tripled. Shopkeepers have been burdened with price controls and been used as a scapegoat for government incompetence, especially the failure to control inflation.

He can continue to rule as a military dictator relying on the army and the secret police to terrorize permit opposition the public into submission. Or he can liberalize parties, professional associations, craft guilds and labor unions to organize, express their views and campaign in free elections. — Both courses are full of peril, both for U.S. interests in Iran and for the Iranians. Continued repression may permit the shah to preserve his total power for a while. But in the long run it seems sure to guarantee chaos, especially Ss the decline of oU revenues in the 1980s leads to even greater discontent. This probably .vill be followed by violent revolution and the demise of the Shah’s dynasty. Liberalization, however, is also full of hazards, as dictators everywhere learn when they try to take the lid off the pressure cooker. But it would offer the possibility of channeling dissent into peaceful and legal activities and permit the gradual transformation of the military autocracy into an eventual parliamentary democracy.

I « f I Med School University Georgetown increased its tuition to $ 11,000 per year; causing one-third of the student body to join the Corps and as a result, receive financial aid in order to stay in school. Naughton emphasized, “The only negative aspect of the Corps is that students are joining it because it is the only way to get at z through school." An even larger headache exists in directing medical students into primary care or general practice areas. In 1931, approximately 94 percent of the physicians in the US were general practitioners. That figure plummented to 38 percent by 1975. As a response to the specialization, increased the proposed Califano in development of courses problems health which will increase “exposure” to the need for primary care. Although the overall interest at UB in primary care is considerably higher than the national average, this follows the University nation’s declining interest in primary care. In 1972, 80 percent of the internship choices by UB med students were in primary care areas, dropping to 60 percent in 1978. Naughton attributes this difference to UB’s status as a public school, following public policy. Specialization not generalization Naughton traces the shortage of general practicioners to the increasing number of specialized physicians. He said, “Because you —continued from • • page 1— • Military spending remains a key battlefield in an “With these new, accurate warheads, the illusion may come to exist on either side that it can intensifying ideological war between experts on the warned. lagging American economy.

He said, “The rapid growth of specialists was a response to the advance needs of health care. Consequently, we have over-specialized.” He added that new emphasis should be placed on primary care but should not be specialization de-emphasized. The new health policy is likely to run into many stumbling blocks. Califano acknowledges that to change medical school curricula will be as difficult as “moving a cemetery.” Naughton agrees. He said, “In a society where heterogenous not problems wholey are common, there is no single Naughton solution.” blanket claims that UB’s curriculum is “sufficiently flexible” and will not feel the pressure as much as other schools that have been more resistant to change.

BOULEVARD MALL 837-2100 continued from page 1 — — An old problem? Educators have long questioned when the illiteracy alarm arose and whether the problem plagues only newer generations. A 1974 issue of U.S. News and World Report described illiteracy as “surfacing as an amazing worry in a nation that spends unending billions of dollars on one of the world’s finest systems of education.” But is it just surfacing? In 1956 the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural a Organization produced The Teaching of monograph Reading and Writing which awakened interest in the need for noticed the attention functional Illiteracy gained in 1969 or 1970. “As I was graduating from college,” she said, “there was a tremendous push in the area of educational She literacy.” maintained that although trends in higher education are usually discipline oriented, “this push was generalized.” The most chilling effect of functional illiteracy is that it obscures basic intellectual ability. James Kinneavy, an English Professor at the University of Texas, termed it “a lack of fluency in written words, not a lack of intellect.” In her book Errors and Expectations, Mina with Shaughnessy agrees Kinneavy’s stance, terming college-age functional illiterates, “badly educated young adults whose intellect is imprisoned by a lack of skill.” ... Educated illiterates Kinneavy further identifies the affliction as “a basic unfamiliarity with words a deficiency that has led to a deterioration of structure and logic in college writing.” Socio-economic trends in literacy are becoming less noticable as the issue continues to draw more national attention Five years ago the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare produced a survey which showed illiteracy lower in girls, wliites, urban dwellers, people of the midwest region and families with incomes over $15,000 per year. A 1975 survey conducted literacy. by Bowdoin College in Maine In the English Journal of found that the most inept writers September 1976 H.

A Creativity Day sponsored by the UUAB Programming Committee and Student Association Speakers Bureau was held to alert the public to an up and coming science: creative problem solving. Through workshops in brainstorming, Kirlian “think-tank” photography, and an sessions, symposium, creativity advocates asked UB students to become aare of their potential.

Punk rock band draws crowd of 600 at the Pub An experimental plan to bring a nationally recognized band to the Wilkeson Pub Friday night in an attempt to increase attendance has been deemed successful by Pub manager George Endres.

Although Endres is well aware that students cannot afford a S4.50 cover charge every week, he said he believes students would support a well known act on a bi-weekly basis.

Bulls Head coach Tom Bremer noted a few days before the decision. “We couldn’t go through the with a straight season with a team like this face.” Last year’s highly successful 7-2 record (Bremer’s debut season), which marked the team’s ascent from club status-, the team arranged a collossal schedule including meets with three of the top ten teams in the nation. But this year’s attempt |o meet last year’s expectations was not even close. Although there was more than in recent a fresh crop of newcomers memory many veterans either failed to rejoin this year or quit when initial week of practice strained academic workloads and part-time job commitments. The team simply lacked enthusiasm. “You could see it coming,” lamented last year’s epee sensation Ted Pawlicki. “We barely had a full squad.” Pawlicki cited “rank conditions” at the heart of the team’s demoralization. He pointed out the small tattered fencing room, the dimly lit and narrow hallway fencers practiced in, and fencing uniforms which were in constant need of repair as examples of the hardships that the team faced. “Some of the new guys are really disappointed with UB,” Pawlicki continued. Last year, one of the Bull’s two losses was directly related to inadequate equipment. At a meet with • Oswego, not a single epee, was functioning properly.

Thr Studs looked unimpressive in losing their season opener, exhibiting little hustle and forcing their shots. Dynasty is now 1-1. Dynasty’s 6’3 center. Steve Ward, and 6’2” forward Frank Boggan anchored a solid zone defense and intimidated the uncoordinated Studs under the boards. This pressure enabled them la immediately establish control by taking a "14-2 lead after only 10 minutes. The Studs were continually being called for three-second violations, which added to their early troubles. Guard Sieve Yuen’s expert ball handling and passing, plus his ability to sink long jump shots helped Dynasty to a comfortable 24-14 halftime lead. At this time they felt confident enough to change their defensive strategy, “We played zone defense at first." said Yuen. “But when we saw that they weren’t as good as we were, and we took a big lead, we switched to man-to-man, just to see what would happen.” Same for second half Nothing much changed. The Cynasty put down the Studs’ halfhearted comeback attempts, outmuscling their opponent for the rebound, never letting them come within eight points. One of the few bright spots for the Studs was center Howie Tillman, who displayed hustle and determination in his team’s lackluster performance. As the only inside threat, his team went to him often, instead of talented guard Alex Roth, the man they had hoped would be their catalyst on offense. “I couldn’t play well ‘cause I have a bad back,” Roth explained. Without the full contribution of their star player, the Studs couldn’t put together a consistent scoring drive. Their offense rtever threatened the Dynasty’s solid wall defense of Ward and Boggan. Add this to their sometime sloppy passing, and the second half was a lost cause from the start. It turned out the Studs had as much trouble with the man-to-man defense as they’d had with the zone, and relied mostly on outside shooting for their points. The Dynasty kept penetrating and forced contact on offense to draw the foul, naturally earning more than their share of foul shots. The guards took advantage of the Studs’ mistakes, with steals and quick driving lay-ups, contributing to the easy victory Carlos Vallarino " - — - This year’s budget was increased 100 per cent to $2,000, enough to supply the team with blades to last the season and to schedule three overnight trips. Still, Bremer’s efforts, along with the assistant - coaches, Jules Goldstein and Glenn Miller, went unpaid, and without the aide of returning veterans, Bremer remarked that it would not be worth his effort to continue with a team which would win “maybe three or four of twenty-seven bouts every match.” Bremer, a third year law student here, expressed fear that this season’s early and depressing finale would signal the end of fencing at UB, at least as a team.

Bulls head coach Ed Wright noted this, hoping the Bulls’ potent offense & of sorts is a sign of things to come. The biggest factor in the Bulls’ defeat he noted, was the lack of unity displayed on the offense. “The fourth line played well and I could see going to them more often,” he said, “but some of, the guys had first game jitters.” Sports Editor * * — - ‘Ice cold’ play results in a loss for hockey team AMERICAN AUTO PARTS IMPORTED Despite allowing ten goals, Wright emphatically noted that Kaminska had a fine game in the nets. Battling a persistant Colgate scoring machine, the Kenmore junior stopped 47 shots, about 20 more than any sane goalie would be expected to. Colgate netminder Steve Shaeffer stopped 27 out of 31 attempts to pick up the win. The Bulls next face off is against the improved skills of Plattsburgh. One of the top teams in the Bull’s division, they figure to fight it out with either Elmira or UB for a post-season playoffs position.

I ■I Eastern Hills Mall' ST ! i • Mam Slr.i �Today’s stars grapple | with wrestlers of past i Clark Hill will soon be an arena filled with mats and memories. The wrestling Alumni Meet on Sunday will feature the standouts from the past grappling with the stars of today. All Americans, an Olympic participant, a Junior World Team member and former Bulls’ coachers will be some of the men telling their past triumphs to the present team. 1975 graduate Emad Faddual will be able to relate the thrill of participating in the Olympic games. Faddual and his brother represented Lebanon in hte 1976 Montreal Olynpic games. He will be reunited with former teammate Charlie Wright (‘77) who came within one natch of being heavyweight NCAA Eastern Regional champion but qulaified as a Junior World wrestler. Last year’s All Americans DAve Mitchell and Kirk Anderson will return to the mats to contend with Coach Ed Michael’s current roster of promising All American prospects. Grappling with history Michael siad that bringing the group of former wrestlers together at this meet is important. “We have a feeling of being family,” he said. “This meet allows the chance for yesterday’s athletes to return to their alma mater and for friends and family to see once more the people they have followed. It also gives the new athletes a chance to compete against some very distinguished men,” he rioted. Former coaches returning to Clark Hall will be George King and Ron L Rougue. Among the numberous players-tumed-coaches will be Eric Knuntila, a ‘73 graduate now coaching at Niagara Community College. — Kevin Brink worth (‘64) and Pete Durham (‘65) will be the most senior alumni competing in the three minute bouts. Michael has set this time in lieu of the standard eight minute bouts. Other former stars who will be remincising in the familar surroundings include Jerry Nowakovwkf (‘74), Glenn Genfzke (‘73), Mike Waston (‘69), and Bruce Hadsell (‘77). Michael hopes to make the Alumni Meet an annual event as he feels it is important to keep the ties of UB’s wrestling past together. The meet, free ot the public, begins at 2 p.m. Sunday. Paddv Guthrie more oint iust Bill Dando: A credit to his players Saturday’s loss to Alfred may have ended the active football campaign for 1978, but it signals the beginning of the 1979 season. Head coach .Bill Dando must now try to spark the interests of high school athletes in order to convince them to attend UB What could sell this school to such a person? Aside from all the negative points about the poor quality of life here and the lack of athletic facilities, after witnessing the 1978 Bulls, there’s plenty to pull in the freshman. First there is Dando himself. If you even try to dig into the surface of the personnel he recruits, you’d come up with 60 different personalities. As head coach, he must deal with each and every one; and has done so admirably. Without the luxury of tutors to help ballplayers with academic standings, the coach must bear the burden involved with motivating his students to achieve academic success. Just watching Dando operate at practice in a single afternoon, the rapport he establishes is evidence that he gets through to his people. Would Woody Hayes joke with an injured player about how he hurt himself just to avoid running? A safe guess would say no; but Dando would. After all, if he became an enemy to his own players, what would he have to function with? Most of all, just getting 60 guys out to practice and keeping them interested is what designates Dando as a truly first-rate person. As a result, recruiting new members for next season won’t be hard, with Dando’s reputation spread wide by his own players, he can depend on word of mouth to draw the high school stars what better method than to have a Mark Ciabryel go back to Lackawanna High and tell the top seniors about - UB football? Apparently that system has already paid off. The Bulls of 1978 already have first-class caliber athletes, some who could just as well be playing on scholarships at other institutions. One of those men is freshman linebacker Shane Currey, Before this season, Currey was marked as possessing a world of potential. His best teacher, fellow UB linebacker Dan Vecchies was hurt after the initial game and was lost for the season. After one game, Currey became the instant back-bone of the defense. Did he fill the slot? Very basically, Currey was the best of the best. In eSch game he either led the defense in tackles or came very close to it. This isn’t intended to laud his efforts that but is meant to commend Dando. will come later - - * * * November 30 marks the opening of the men’s basketball season, one that will be a slight change from the last five years of hoop here. Gone of course is Leo Richardson, who in five years failed to provide the Bulls with a winning season as head coach. In his place is Bill Hughes, a man who seems to fit the bill as a patient, but firm leader. Instead of the run and gun-style the Bulls have displayed in the past, look for Hughes to control the tempo and direct a more conservative game plan. The hopeful result of Hughes’ technique will Bulls can stay in the ballgame a bit longer. There are no superstars this year and perhaps the Bulls will be able to survive with only one ball out on the court. It’s a wait and see time right now, but all factors considered, attending a basketball game at Clark Hall this winter might be a great way to stay warm.

Ketter. At a meeting of the College Council Friday, Ketter cited declining student enrollments in the upper division undergraduate level as the root of possible UB cutbacks by the State Division of the Budget (DOB). Theater Ugh t and sounding boards remain unmanned —Swan Katharine Cornell Theater Lack of director restricts shows by Angela Peters Staff Writer student is injured in the process of setting up equipment, he can sue the University, whereas a Spectrum technical director, covered by University insurance, cannot. For this reason, Pietruszka was not allowed to show anyone “the ropes.” “It’s a one man show,” Sheffield pointed out. The Katharine Cornell Theater, a versatile and home for the performing arts, is being crippled by an unprecedented case of “Catch-22” intimate syndrome. Even though no one was allowed access to the The theater’s operation has been hampered by equipment but Pietruszka, he nonetheless showed the la'ck of a technical director. Without a director, certain students how to operate the light board “out needed technical facilities such as lighting and sound of necessity,” Sheffield said. Pietruszka could not equipment cannot be offered. Performers scheduled have possibly worked both the lights and sound at to appear at the theater, in dire need of these the same time since the sounding board is located on facilities, are now doubting if “the show will go on.” the floor and the lights are up "above, Sheffield Though money was allocated November 1 for a explained. director’s salary, the position still has not been filled. According to the concert coordinator of College No lights, no sound B Mike Sheffield, former technical director John Another reason why this University will not Pietruszka resigned his position on October 1 of this authorize anyone but an appointed director to year after submitting a five-week notice. During utilize the facilities, Sheffield speculated, is that they those five weeks, no new director was appointed, will not entrust their expensive machinery to an creating-a void on the theater’s operation. At first, outsider. this did not. appear to be a problem, since Since the cancellation of the Overground Road technicians with the know-how to work the sound Show, other acts presented by University Union system and light board were available, yet Activities Board (UUAB) and co-produced by complications arose. College B have been forced to perform under restricted conditions. Dave Van Ronk performed with a sound system and spotlight brought in by UUAB and Mike Seeger strummed and hummed his way through the night with no lights or sound. Lighting for “Arsenic and Old Lace” and John Renbourne and- Stefan Grossman is “still an open question,” Sheffield said. As of November 1, a presidential budget line for a new technical director was appropriated. Assistant Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Letters Ward Williamson "has the responsibility of appointing someone to fill the position. According to Maintenance Director Cudek, no such person has yet been found, but Williamson “has been making arrangements.” Cudek expects to have a director by the time the curtain goes up on Arsenic and Old Lace this Wednesday. If not, Cudek claims that he will call someone in to operate the technical equipment. Meanwhile, Cudek has assured the Colleges' “there is no problem.” ‘Emergency measure’ Last Spring, Spyro Gyra had been booked to appear at the theater for the second weekend of October. “There was no forewarning that there would be a shutdown of technical facilities,” said Sheffield. To complicate matters, Sheffield claimed that there existed a “signed contract committing a significant amount of student money to the Spyro Gyra concert.” The two men responsible for the theater, Director of Maintenance Dick Cudek and Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Letters George Levine did not give their authorization to use the technical facilities until 12 noon on the day of the Spyro Gyra show.. In arranging for lighting, Sheffield quoted Levine as saying, “This is an emergency measure and is not a precedent for the future.” After the problem of the Spyro Gyra concert subsided, Levine refused to give his authorization for the use of technical facilities at a subsequent concert, said Sheffield. The Overground Road Show, a Groundling Production sponsored by College B, was cancelled due to the lack of a sound system. “This makes people who had reseaved the theater pull out because our credibility is so bad,” Sheffield stated. In effect, this situation may have killed the College B concert series for the academic year, he remarked. Lost our chance Jerome Barber, promoter for the Overland Road Show, and guitar instructor at College B, flatly stated, “The theater is being run poorly. Decision making passes from person to person to person.” Barber had intentions of promoting a benefit at the Theater, featuring a nationally known singer. The Losing respectability concert would have been taped and included in a television documentary concerned with saving the “Also,” said Sheffield, “the Amherst Campus loses respectability. People will think twixe about making the drive out to Amherst.” Sheffield said the crisis stemms from the administrative chain of command. “Nobody wants to take responsibility for something they don’t have to take the responsibility for,” he commented. The administration will not set up a temporary staff of students and outsiders, Sheffield claimed, because “officials don’t want the responsibility of anything going wrong,” Sheffield claimed. For instance, if a whales. The date for filming was set for April 15, but when the television technicians caught wind of the facility shutdown, the deal fell through. Barber theorized that this University lost its chance for free, positive publicity, and is upset by the fact that local bands who would Imve for the benefit also lost out. “It’s a *Catch-22’ situation” he sadly remarked. “It’s like being in a Kafka novel. No matter where yoa turn, you can find no answers to the problem.” v Inside: The unique George Plimpton—P. 4 ' _ / Rape and Worst ratio Although no enrollment or budget problems currently exist in Health Sciences, the same is not true for the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences or the School of Management. Management classes are among the most crowded at'this University. Average class size in Management runs between 28-40 students, the stated Ketter. SUNY Buffalo, as a major university center, is one of 25 higher institutions of learning in the U.S. which must conform to a set of six criteria. These criteria set standards for total enrollment, research grants obtained, and other figures. Of these 25 institutions, UB has the highest student-faculty ratio in the faculty'of engineering: 22-1. The second highest ratio in the group of 25 schools is much lower, at 11-1. Ketter implied that this may cause accreditation difficulties for the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Because of the heavy bureaucratic regulations built into the SUNY system, it is not possible to transfer University resources from one division to another, explained Ketter. He also noted that many UB employees are tenured, making such a transfer virtually impossible. Thus, if the budget is cut back, these divisions will be faced with increased enrollment without any increases in faculty or funding; a problem which already plagues several departments here, * including Math, Music and English. Ketter cited disheartening statistics, which revealed that over the past 10 years, funding for higher education has increased 164 in New York State, while nationwide, the average increase was 235 percent. Furthermore, over the past two years, the funding increase in New York amounted to just 14 percent, of which 10 percent went to private schools and only 4 percent to public institutions; while the nationwide average was up 22 percent. percent Eroded jewel In related business, Council student representative Michael Pierce raised the question of “imbalance in programs between Buffalo and other SUNY institutions.” Pierce referred specifically to the antiquated-conditions at the Dental School here, compared to SUNY at Stony Brook, which is receiving funds for a new $18 million dental center through DOB. Bob Cronyn, a dental student here, detailed the problems of the School, emphasizing the large difference in funding between the two Dental Schools, the severe lack of space here, and the accreditation problems this may cua"Se. UB has received only $50,000 from the state since 1962. SUNY Buffalo has been envisioned as the “crown jewel of the SUNY system.” Cronyn lamented, “The loss of space, loss of funds, and loss of faculty are eroding what is already a jewel here.” Ketter replied that the comparison to Stony Brook is inappropriate because they are just beginning a dental program, and require more funding However, Ketter and the Council sympathized with the problems of the Dental School. “It is one of the programs in which •we have extreme disability,” Ketter noted.. In other' business, the Council decided to hold dedication ceremonies for both the new Lockwood Memorial Library and Christopher Baldy Hall before the end of the present academic year, most likely next spring. The Council also gave permission for the University Libraries to hold their own dedication ceremony for their Polish Collection of books, recently moved to Capen Hall from Main Street. CoUege Council Chairman Robert Millonzi recommended that the Council hear from a faculty representative and a student representative at future meetings. Milionzi suggested that Faculty Senate Parliamentarian Newton Carver and Student Association President Karl Schwartz address the Council at the January and February meetings of the Council, respectively. i College B concert coordinator Mike Sheffield Although freshman and transfer enrollments have increased, Ketter said, the. number of Millard Fillmore College and upper division undergraduate students decreased this year, continuing the 1977 trend. The University budget depends largely on enrollment, thus declines in these areas could mean less money next year. Much of the decrease in the number of upper undergraduates is due lo students who are either dripping out of school or are transferring to other institutions after their sophomore year. “They are not staying,” explained Ketter, “the question is why.” An ongoing “major study” is attempting to discover just why people are leaving UB, he said. Previous studies have shown that the composition of the average university student population is changing nationwide. The studies show that the “pool” or number of students presently at college age, is down. However, there are now more younger students in college than in the past. Ketter described the students now entering college as “very vocationally oriented.” He backed up this claim by informing that 80 percent of incoming freshmen this year listed either engineering, management or health sciences as their Held of concentration. „ aftermath—Centerfold Landlords talk rent—P. 10 Football / / season ends—P. 14 �| [The Tralf Presents — W' WQsm Tonight at 10 pm !

Main at Fillmore New administration Infighting plagues SA Senate meeting After six hours of exhaustive polemics that included more than a dozen roll call votes, uncountable parliamentary logjams and caustic, sometimes angry debate, Friday’s Student Association (SA) Student Senate meeting fizzled out at 9 p.m. when a quorum could not be maintained. Two resolutions, one supporting the striking Blue Bird Bus Drivers and one authorizing follow-up actions to the November 3 rally for Amherst construction, were the only substantive decisions to emerge from the marathon bickering session, which was marred by many senators’ ignorance of parliamentary procedure. SA Vice President for Sub Board Jane Baum, who chaired the meeting, was forced to repeatedly stop the proceedings and explain Robert’s Rules of Order to objecting senators. At least half the meeting was devoted to debate on a motion to put Michael Levinson’s referendum on The Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc. to a student-wide vote. The referendum seeks to dissolve The Spectrum and institute in its place a new newspaper headed by a “steering committee.” That committee includes present and former Student Association officials such as former Director of Student Affairs Lori Pasternak, Black Student Union President Turner Robinson and SA Senators Bob Sinkewicz and Chuck Froelich. Levinson said there is also one “mystery member” on the committee but declined to name him. The motion never came to a vote, though, as its opponents were able to use parliamentary wrangling and keep debate open. Finally, the matter was referred to the Senates Operations and Rules Committee, where its legitimacy as a referendum will be decided. The Spectrum presented an official statement at the meeting, objecting to attempted control of the press by the government.

The weapon, later revealed to be a crossman pellet pistol, was purchased by the student at a Woolworth’s store earlier Friday afternoon. It uses small metal tipped darts which could be extremely dangerous, if fired at someone. “He said he just wanted to play with it,” commented Lt. James Green of University Police. The student approached the information counter shortly ,after 7 p.m. asking for the time, when Celia Sgroi, the clerk, spotted the foot long barrel protruding from his pocket and called University Police. The student denied any intention of ever firing the weapon “1 had the instructions with me and 1 figured someone could read them,” ' he said. “If he just accidently slips,” Lt. Green said, “someone can really get hurt.” The gun is illegal on campus under rule 6.17 of the student rules and regulations,. Green said. The case will be brought to the student wide judiciary. Why would a store sell a dangerous weapon to a blind person? “I can’t understand why they (the sales clerks) would do that,” the store manager said. A store investigation is planned, University Police said. TUCK AWAYA LITTLE TWO FINGERS. — • The Two Fingers T-shirt. # it 4>nly 4.95 ?

However, pinball machines, illegal in this city since the 1950s, may soon be legalized. Such moratoriums are usually established when residents begin to complain about the number of bars and fast food places in their area. According to North District Councilman Daniel Quider, who - “inherited” a moratorium on Hertel Avenue from his predecessor, vandalism and parking difficulties are the t wo other problems thatlead to upset residents and subsequent “bar bans.” JJniversity District Councilman Eugene Fahey cited all three reasons in asking for a bar ban in the Kensington-Bailey area. Fahey said that with the current 42 taverns there, “people have enough places to get drunk,” adding that some of the bars’ patrons are “causing trouble.” Delaware District Councilman William Marcy, Jr. said the same logic resulted in a bar ban in the Elmwood-Alien area last year. Fahey,-Quider and Marcy each emphasized that no existing bars will be forced to close. The councilmen claim they just don’t want any new bars to open. Pinball banned Fillmore District Councilwoman Shirley although opposed to moratoriums, is considering- getting one for Fillmore Avenue. She said that although “there’s a long stretch of street with only two bars on it,” local residents are opposed to the opening of any new pubs. Some groups question die city’s authority to impose bar bans, particularly the one on the Stolarski, Elmwood-Alien “strip,” and these groups are considering legal action. To counter this, Quider has taken steps to have the Elmwood strip rezoned from a commercial district to a residential one. The only way then for a new bar to legally open along the strip would be for hopeful proprietors to go before the Zoning Board of Appeals. Although drinking and pinball seem to go together, Buffalonians have restricted themselves to drinking since pinball ia illegal here. However, Stolarksi is considering the introduction of a bill that would legalize the pastime once again. “It’s the ‘Ma and Pa’ taverns that are hurt by not having pinball machines,” she maintains. “This law forces kids who might want to go out and have a few drinks and play pinball to go out of the city.” Enormous scandals Fahey is opposed to legalizing pinball in Buffalo. He cfted the “enormous scandels” of the fifties which resulted in the declaration of this “method of gambling” as illegal. “The average person in the city can exist without pinball,” Fahey remarked. While Stolarski admits that pinball machines may have been considered corrupt 28 years ago, she said, “I don’t think it’s like that nowadays.” Stolarski added that she believes pinball can be controlled as well as Off Track Betting and Bingo are , presently. Quider declared, “If the proper control can be set up to avoid the abuses that occurred in the Fifties, I’d be inclined to support it.” Critics claim that the manpower of Buffalo’s entire police force would be required to ensnre that pinball machines are operated legally. Stolarski disagreed, saying, “Other towns have just one man checking on all the pinball machines and I don’t think he’s overworked.” She a 1so pointed out that Buffalo is the only city in the entire state which bans pinball. Stolarski extended an invitation to “anyone at UB who is interested” ten attend the meeting of the Common Council on November 21, where the Council will hear citizen’s views on the legalization of pinball machines. katba cprw- tw&tpg tickets <150 cp8?JpsaDitg„ studsm* 7ta eitizpDt SIS© c.h-isc.f^.pay^r’S icMt kVtilaJblff »t Sysrirt Hnll' ... , or nigM of *W i CO �■* holdup foiled, A versatile man warning shot later fired Plimpton tries to bridge the gap i Bookstore Gun shot sounds pierced the Amherst silence Wednesday as Buffalo City Police, on the grounds of UB Campus Security headquarters, fired a warning bullet into the air in an effort to stop a fleeing area man. Eighteen year old Gerald Standard had been taken into custody for an attempted hold-up by two city officers and a campus security guard after an incident on the Main Street Campus. Originally charged with a felony for attempted grand larceny. Standard was apprehended at Winspear and Winridge Streets after leaving the Main Street Campus. According to south campus Assistant Security Director Jack Eggert, Standard approached the post office counter in Squire Hall and asked for “all the money.” When the cashier denied this initial request, Eggert said, Standard demanded “all the stamps.” Upon receiving a second refusal, the non-student walked away from the scene. After the “hold-up” attempt, and Standard’s subsequent move off campus, a call was aired over Buffalo Police radio. Standard was spotted by two Precinct 16 officers walking along Winspear. A mutual arrest by campus and city officers ensued. Although the statement by the Squire cashier was not, according to Eggert, enough to sustain an armed robbery charge, the suspect was taken to the Amherst Campus Security Headquarters and searched. As he was putting on his shoes, Standard bolted out the door and ran. After Standard’s attempt to flee a Buffalo police officer fired a warning shot into the air. According to Eggert, the individual was about a half a mile from the detention facility when he was reapprehended. At no time was Standard armed. Although the case has not yet been arraigned, Campus Security is charging with resisting arrest. Meanwhile, Buffalo police are pressing charges on teh grounds of escape and resisting arrest, possession of controlled substances (barbituates), and obstruction of government administration. Eggert informed that the charges of escape under custody are to be determined by the District Attorney’s Office, but that the original felony charges Are virtually invalid. COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS — Broadcasting Company came to Plimpton with the idea of fighting All, a friend of Plimpton’s. Although by CaH Sferrazza Spectrum Staff Writer Tbere still are Renaissance men around. Last Thursday, in Squire’s Fillmore Room, UB students were fascinated and entertained by one of these rare George Plimpton, the journalist who knows what he’s writing about and probably has the scars to prove it. Plimpton had his first participatory journalism experience at Harvard when he wanted to join the college’s humor magazine, the Lampoon. The magazine practices fraternity-like admissions and his initiation task was to run the 26 mile Boston Marathon. Whimsical then as he is today, he decided to start running about one and a half miles before the finish line, right behind the leader. Plimpton mused, “When the gentleman in first place heard running behind him, he, who was thoroughly exhausted already, started running to more exhaustion.” Placing second.PIimpton was taken to the press tent by reporters, where it was discovered that he was not an entrant. The winner had to be restrained from punching him. The lecture was heavily dosed with similar stories, sprinkled funny with Plimpton’s audience characteristic witticisms. The was responsive and attentive like children listening to fairy tales. specimens - - The lanky writer-author-lecturer- joumalist-adventurer started recounting athletic experiences as a writer for Sports Illustrated. “I’m a writer, not an athlete,” Plimpton said. “Most real athletes are not articulate enough to write a genuinely good book.

His first experience was aa a pitcher for the New York Yankees. “I lived a dream that most American males have” he said. Plimpton spoke of how much he relished that particular experience. He eventually authored Out of My League, his first work on sports journalism. Next, as a boxer, Plimpton challenged middle-weight champion Archie Moore. Plimpton had written to Moore, hoping for such an “in the interest of literature.” Moore let him have it in the beginning and George was left “bleeding and weeping.” One of Plimpton’s most hilarious schemes was when he played goalie for the Boston Bruins. Plimpton attempted to scare the other team by painting a frightening face on.his goalie mask. The most of “huge and brutal” hockey players coming towards you, as you try to defend the goal. opportunity, According to Plimpton an interesting almost came about with Muhammed ■mrirmniiinii ~0O t v * • . m • « ««*-*•>.«» i if.■**'** • M »»«»'«»** event Ali. The British the fight never came off, Plimpton commented that Ah would call him at three in the morning and tell him, “You is gonna fall during the ring instructions." Soccer next? To Plimpton, survival is the most satisfying sport. Through his adventures, Plimpton has learned about the types of people in sports, which interested him more than the actual confrontations. Plimpton expressed a desire to cover soccer, one of the few sports that has evaded his whimsical prose. maintains that no however, Plimpton, experience was more frightening than playing the triangle for the New York Philharmonic. In sports, he said, one tries to make the other team foul, but in music, a mistake means destruction. Once, because of bad timing, conductor Leonard Bernstein yelled at Plimpton for “destroying” a piece. But, given a second chance, he made a great comeback on the gong. “I hit it so hard and loud that it shocked the whole audience, and popped Leonard Bernstein’s eyes out of his head,” he quipped. in Plimpton has also tried his hand at acting “Rio Lobo” with John Wayne. He played a gunman trying to kill the well known actor “and as everyone - knows, nobody kills John Wayne.” Plimpton distinctly recalls Wayne’s tobacco chewing and his penchant for calling him Pimpleton. The author also did a stint in Las Vegas, playing the part of a stand-up comedian. There are only a handful of great comics because comics must develop certain characteristics personally associated with themselves in order to always get a good response. Plimpton compared the comedy field to “You throw out a line, and fishing in the dark sometimes you catch something.” - President for a day? Probably one of greatest honors, however, was the promise President Kennedy made to him. Kennedy told him that he could be President for a day. “Imagine that,” Plimpton said, adding, “Then I asked him when and he told me on February 31. That’s how much he thought of that idea!” Plimpton views sports as something very important to the psyche. He said that some communities view sports and sports’ centers as being equally important as the Church to their well-being. As a sports journalist Plimpton also sees himself as the first to examine sports in depth. He said, “Sports writers before were limited to straight sports columns which never allowed foi anything but a superficial overview.” In many respects Plimpton is also a philosopher, offering witty but serious analogies to many different professions. Leonard Bernstein offered the best description of Plimpton '“He did very well for an amateur, but then . that’s his profession, isn’t - . it?” . �‘Silenced’ nuclear technician honored tonight in candle vigil [Xh, Icn by Denise Stumpo Managing Editor Four years ago today, nuclear technician Karen Silkwood was killed instantly in a car crash on her way to a meeting with a New York Tunes reporter and a top official of the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union (OCAW).

Qj My A ngel Wing begonia as losing its leaves. What should / do A) Your plant is probably shedding its leaves due to hot dry air in your home. Remedy this situation by placing the plant where it is cooler (65-70 degrees) or make a tip cutting and start again. P;ace the cutting in moist vermiculite or perlite. Don’t discard the old plant; it will make branches from the side. Q) I have an Asparagus fern in a southern window and I water it whenever it's dry. It has been turning yellow and dropping leaves, and is not putting out new sprouts. What could be wrong? A) The Asparagus fern likes plenty of light, adequate air space and regular watering once a day, for at is not a true fern. Its leaves ill turn yellow from lack of nutrients if the plant is pot bound, or if the temperature is above or below 55r65 degrees. Q) I recently purchased a Bird of Paradise plant, which has six leaves. I have no idea how to rake care of at or how to help it produce one of ats famous birds. Can you help? A) Give the plant a sunny place and plenty of water, except in winter when it can be kept somewhat dry and cool (60 degrees).

Like it or not, the University must face the realities of budgeting in New York State; and this year, it means finding a way to keep undergraduate students in school and the dollars in the bank. At SUNY Buffalo, this is no simple task, for the highest attrition rate in the SUNY system will have to be scaled. While we appreciate the difficulties the state's absurd budget process leaves administrators, we find more than a touch of insincerity in the rhetoric heard during the attrition and enrollment crisis. Although the continually-cited Study Group on Attrition/ Retention will probably uncover a complex set of sources for the drop-out rate, the bottom line is that the quality of student life here is dismal. And it has been dismal for at least the last four years. But only since last Spring and its sobering enrollment figures do we hear such heart felt concern for the poor learning environment here. Only when the problems of split campuses, large classes, insensitive faculty, and unadequate advisement lead students to quit school or transfer is it time for a conscience-easing "study group." Only when students' misery is reflected in dollar signs does the administration's utter ambivalence toward undergraduates get put on hold and a hard look at student life here begin. So we find the current scramble to reduce the attrition rate bitterly ironic. Here we have a University and Administration its transparent President that for years cut advisement programs, split student groups, decentralized social life, wvept away dormitory space and generally neglected dozens of other quality-of-life problems; and then looked up one day to a perplexing drop-out rate to say: "Let's study it." Surely we cannot blame the attrition rate solely on the administration's insensitivity; there are a complex set of factors involved. Yet we are not fooled by this sudden concern for the psyche of students. We are not satisfied with a study-group to determine why life here can be so miserable and we are not naive enough to believe that if attrition didn't threaten the operating budget it would still be problem number 1-in Capen Hall. It is numbers of dollars, and nothing else, that is at the core of the University's concern for attrition. And we need r no study groups, committees or long-winded reports to tell us that. Clubbing Poli-Sci — — Ta the Editor. It has become aware to an unfortunately few number of Political Science majors of the need and the importance for establishing a formal group of interested Political Science students. This group has been attempting to expand its membership for the past couple of years with only limited success. The benefits of becoming involved with this group far outweigh the apathetic attitude that many students are currently experiencing. Whether this apathy is due to a general consensus among the majority of educational institutions around the U.S. or whether due to the seeming lazy and content nature of individual students, is not important. What is important is the need for a revisal of the feeling that leadership and political bureaucracy can be substantially influenced by what we, the students. Ketter and Cavage: force To the Editor. Letters imposed to The Spectrum on the limitations on the Record Co-op are always highly critical of Cavages and Ketter. The fault for the closing of the Co-op lies with neither of the two aforementioned entities, after ail Cavages is just protecting its business and Ketter is just protecting his job. Both are just defending their respective self-interests. If guilt is to be assigned it must be placed in the laps of students. Students are the only party to the dispute who are not looking after their have to say. It is up to us, as Political Science majors, to initiate this revisal by uniting into a political body. Only through this initihl step will our ability to influence and be recognized as benevolent become a reality. It is for this reason that I urge all Political majors to become a part of our Science Undergraduate Political Science Club, and to become acquainted with our variety of committees and available positions that make up the club. Let’s not wait until we are in graduate school or law school before we start becoming participants in the internal affairs of our profession, let’s do it now! Come to our P.S.C. meeting this Monday, Nov. 13 at 4 p.m. in room 562 Spaulding. Joseph Fisher A cling Presiden t. Political Science Club them own interests. If the average student would pay more than lip service to the Co-op’s cause, and if he/she would adamantly refuse to buy records at a store which is making a direct assault upon the students’ own business (after all we as' fee-payers own the Co-op), then Cavages would find it economically detrimental to continue pursuing its suit. Withdrawal of the suit will lead inevitably to the lifting of the “Ketter restrictions” on the Co-op’s operations. We can’t ask Ketter and Cavage to stop attacking us, we must force them. Patrick Young Candlelight vigil for Silkwood To the Editor. Karen Silkwood, a woman, worker, and active member of the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union died November 13, 1974. We at Women’s Studies College see the need to commemorate Karen Silkwood's death so that the findings documented in .her report are not ignored. Her investigation concerning health and safety violations at the plutonium plant where she worked most likely would describe conditions that exist at other plants and factories throughout the nation. We as women understand the importance of organizing to make conditions of people’s lives better. We cannot let the work of Karen Silkwood c which has so vanished, mysteriously go unrecognized. We must, continue to uncover and publicize the potentially dangerous conditions that exist for working people hr various industries. We feel strongly about the seriousness of her death, its implications and the various issues involved. We can take a stand on these issues be attending the candlelight vigil which will be organized at the center lounge of Squire Hall. We will proceed to the nuclear reactor site on campus and then return to Squire. The event will be held at 7 p.m. Monday, November 13. Bring candles.

Since the very first I saw that there was a glaring problem in that someone forgot to place a handle on the inside to allow for privacy when using the facilities. Everyone to whom I’ve spoken readily realizes that if a non-handicapped student cannot successfully close the door from a standing position then certainly it is a much larger problem for someone in a wheelchair. I keep waiting for maintenance to correct the _ - Guest Opinion situation here in Squire and find myself wondering just how many other lavatories are suffering from this particular dilemma. My parents had an old saying which was, “If you can’t do it right, then don’t do it at all.” If the maintenance and facilities planning people utilized this cliche effectively then I’m sure that not only would valuable time be saved but also huge sums of money, which is what they seem to be -concerned with when requests for compliance with the laws are made. Perhaps you could simply call me “bewitched, bothered and bewildered.’’ Appreciation To the Editor As an undergraduate in this institution, I wish to express my appreciation to Mr. Jay Rosen, Mr. Karl Schwartz, Mr. Scott Jiusto and the many organizers of the rally to welcome our beloved governor Hugh Carey. It was necessary; it was a success; it was fun — Colleen Marie Miller Member e A. Ruben Lopez of INDEPENDENTS On ‘The Spectrum’s’ religion coverage policy by Rod Saunders Wesley Foundation Director Pgr any thinking/caring person much has been written , in The Spectrum this year that could lead to comment, Several people have mentioned past comments and wondered about the absence of such from me this year, (How about that The Spectrum staff, some of what is read is even remembered) he he. Well, 1 can no longer restrain myself (no one will believe I was really trying anyway). Let me begin with The Spectrum itself. I would have to begrudingly say it shows the best overall quality in the seven years I’ve been here. Why? It is covering specific, major, campus concerns especially SA, Academic Plan, and the way we treat each other in dorms by vandalism; encouraging and giving large amounts of space to the printing comments from all segments of the campus community; at least one creative “Exile on Main Street” (10/16) covering intramurals for better than ever and rightly so considering the large number of students involved); printing outside pieces of pertinent content: indeed the best single piece I have ever read in The Spectrum appeared in the November I issue, entitled “Defense Attorney Confronts Role of Dramatic Persuasion every law student, indeed every lawyer, in Justice” should read it and begin to face the realities of its meaning, and begin to form educational experiences and system changes to deal with this reality. It was a very honest and human piece, hauntingly reminiscent of Cam Us’ The Fall, But 1 said begrudgingly this affirmation is given. Why? There is still far too much indulgence of sophomoric spectacles, still far too much sloppy reporting (it can’t all be inexperience), and far too much inept, even distorted especially in terms of use of quotes from interviews comments by University Police officials on the “assault” case in the gym incident, and in the intramural coverage. There is also too much insertion of editorial nad reporter is not bias in serveral of the stories and reports. THere nearly enough space given to what is right around this institution, or positive solutions to what is wrong, Nitpicking’ Maybe, but I think not; neither 1 nor anyone P there is one else would haveto search much for proof.

An obvious exclusion example was the non-mention of the Bill of Rights and Religion in the article reporting on that conference. It is obvious that both our forefathers and mothers and present persons see religion as very significant, And now for a matter I may know more about, l am not sure what Carol DiBart wanted to really say to us. 1 m never sure what any Christian or non-Christian is trying to do when it comes to discussing/condemning persons professing a homosexual preference. I don’t understand the inordinant fear, the hate, the assumption that the person is less than human, or. the presumption that God is so harsh, hard and hateful as to condemn 'totally and completely anyone with a homosexual preference. 1 know that psychiatrists suggest that those who are bitterly comtemptuous of homosexuals are struggling with their own unconscious tendencies, though that does not explain it all. I realize that those with homosexual preference call into questidn our comfortable categories we have in dealing with persons. This does not mean they are less than a person When was the last time you heard a person who prefers heterosexuality say, “I’m a heterosexual, Probably never; they don’t have to; yet the person ot homosexual preference feels he/she must. But that is a a person who false/wrong use of an adjectival-modifier prefers to satisfy his/her sexual desires in relationships with persons of his/her own sex is of a homosexual but he/she is not a homosexual, he/she is a preference homosexual is only one of may adjectives taht person describe that person, just as heterosexual is an adjective and neither is all there is to- a person. Our sexual preference does not descnbe us completely, we relate in - - - manyother ways. There is no way to deny the Hebraic and Christian condemnation of homosexual preference in terms of though Ronald S. Wojcicchowski is on Scriptural data the right track in appealing to reading and interpreting in terms of the context indeed the Scriptural, the historical, the traditional, and the exponential contexts are necessary. The BiMe does not mince words The Bible does with the Bible and make nothing: it is people claims as to what it says and does not say Ronald was wrong in his definitions of Christianity by suggesting Jesus was a Jew that the Old Testement is unimportant and his teachings are very specifically tied to the Old it was all he had, and he saw it very Testament important as do many, many Christians. Marc Sherman is wrong when he asserts that the prime doctrines of soul Christianity are “God as mental judge, the and male superiority Christianity is not formed of so singular a teaching or doctrine, though if I were forced to reduce I. to such tt would be concerned,Irene,™ to nett to and - - . - - ™ between out of 24,500. I find such editorial policy immortal . denominations (the the faithful similarities do wShin outweigt “I single the differences, however.) And Christianity is guilty, especially specific people claiming to be Christian, of terrible prejudice and persecution of those with homosexual preference. It is also true that many of the real and struggles meaningful of conscience concerning homosexuality are taking place within the Christian churches. Many who have come publicly to the defense of persons with homosexual preference do so out of a strong Christian faith stance. There is much more to the way this manifested itself than just Hebraic/Christian Bible should not be used as Carol DiBary did, but it will be, and by people who believe deeply they must. Arguing within the context of Biblical literature accomplishes very little, ever, but especially with this issue. Besides, it would be more correct Biblically to say, “we are all bastards but God loves us anyway” and that is not a judgement but grace. 1 am sure that each of us has probably had significant imput into our lives by persons with homosexual preference, though we never knew of that preference, it wasn’t even significant to know. The key is personhood, not sexual preference. Another major concern written about to a great extent in The Spectrum is the issue of alienation versus some sense of community. It is obvious that we have very committees on domf little sense of community here problems, attrition/retention, and others point to some significant problems. There is no question that any town/city or 25,000 will have more than its share of, alienation. When that town/city is split residentially and functionally by nearly five miles necessitating unending by thousands of bus bouncing, additionally staff, faculty, and administration many (not all) of whom seem to care about the place only as space to put in job time, then the problems multiply. The problems have been so obvious that administration officials have warmly welcomed back fraternities and sororities as a needed unifying force. That was rarely, if ever, the adjective phrase used in past years? However, there does exist already on campus several organizations which have as one of their chief priorities the establishing, maintaining, and broadening some sense of community amid the vastness of the institution. In short, we of some of the campus ministries care for yop. We are here because our churches recongnize your importance now and in the future. WE have been saying for years, the University exists to serve students. And yet, we also care for faculty, staff, and administration about the person you are and want to become, about the environment you live in here, or near here. We want to and do, foster a sense of community that enables you to be who you are. Please, don’t assume that every campus ministry will require or force you to accept something you can not. Each of us is involved in a search, and several of the campus ministries will be a support to that, not a road block. We will galdly welcome your help in our working to enable some meaningful, caring, enjoyable, growing community. We are here to serve you.

Sometimes even both. A common belief is that many landlords ,Jake advantage of desperate students trying to find an apartment dose to campus, especially during the end of the semester's mad rush for living accomodations for the following supply and year. "It is a benjamin demand,” said Tullemello, a local landlord who admits he charges more for his ' apartments closer to campus. “You have to remember the real Analysis estate In an Evening of Humor and Merriment!

Besides proximity to campus, there is the matter of how many people will live in the unit, many landlords believe the more people in an apartment, fhe more abuse it will take, and consequently, they charge a higher rent. Tullemello offers his apartments to families or students but changes prices for the differing clientele. “We have different prices for the different plans of use,” he sdid. “When we the only* because of more abuse" syndrome. Tullemello pointed out an instance where a professor, his wife, and their three dogs were paying more for the same apartment than two law students because "those dogs are going to cause more wear and tear." Other landlords prefer to rent only to students. Louise Cicelsky, who owns at least ten apartments in the UB area, is one of them. “Years ago, when I first started renting out apartments, nobody would rent to students. So I decided I would giye it a try," she recalled. “So far, it has been a good experience.” In fact, she says, she would never lease to a family. In her opinion they are love “too destructive.” “I children, but did you ever see what they can do to a house?” she asked. Cicelsky admits, however, that she charges more for an apartment leased to Students than for a family because with students there is more than one source of income. However this extra rent is not always used to rehabilitate the apartment to its normal state. Many apartments get worse and worse while the extra income finds its way into the landlord’s bank account. Furthermore, many students complain that after signing the lease, their landlord disappears except for the first of every month. With a high cbncern for profit and a low concern for living conditions, student landlords have been accused for fostering “student ghettos.” Cloisters While some students cannot seem to /ind their landlords when they need them, others cannot seem to get away from them. Many landlords feel they have the moral obligation to oversee their tenants’ lives. Some feel they have their female clients from boyfriends who might try to to “protect” sleep over. The restrictions landlords put on some apartments make them little different from cloisters.

Although several proposals have been considered by FSA, the land currently lies dormant. At Wednesday’s FSA Board meeting, Kate Carroll and Andy Attison from the School of Architecture and Environmental Design gave their final report on options for the land nightmare. The wet land, four miles away from the Amherst Campus, lies untouched after fourteen years of FSA ownership. FSA purchased the land in 1964, a time when Amherst land rates were on the rise, in hopes of utilizing it for or educational recreational purposes. But what was originally considered a wise investment has cost S250,000 in taxes. C 'arroll and Attison said there is not a strong residential marketability for. the 500 acres. However, they reported that there is still a possibility of developing the land. In fad, they continued, future tax problems will be solved if it turned into an educational credit-bearing facility. Newly elected FSA Board Chairman Joe Darcy said, “According to Carroll and Attison, for $15-20,000 it could be converted into a rr?01 � i: and credit-bearing facility, therefore tax exemptable.” That- weed-filled of Chicago, Illinois. FSA Treasurer Len Snyder said, “Follett is conscious of students’ needs, like check cashing. They have also been very positive to the eomployees.” Snyder has been supervising the transition from FSA to Follett. Snyder said that Follett has reason to be concerned in light of recent bookstore problems. Snyder reported, “A fraudulent check cashing ring got away with $1500 last week. That’s FSA’j loss.

Then after 16 weeks of Officer Candidate School, you’ll receive an additional year of advanced technical education. This would cost you thousands in a civilian school, but in the Navy, we pay you. And at the end of the year of training, you’ll receive a $3,000 cash bonus. It isn’t easy. There are fewer than 400 openings and only one of every six applicants will be selected. But if you make it, you’ll have qualified for an elite engineering training program.

Other business Another issue discussed at the FSA’s Board meeting was FSA’s selling University of the Bookstores to Follett Corporation - of EARN 0VER 650A MONTH RIGHT THROUGH YOUR SENIOR YEAR. ‘Nature preserve’ FSA’s real estate broker, W.D. Hassett, Inc., recently found a partial buyer for the land, who offered to purchase 25 acres at $1500 each. This relatively small portion of the land would not interfere with possible construction, FSA reports, since it would be used for a single dwelling house. The report proposed three possible levels of investment: low, medium or high. According to Attison, Carroll and the investment can turn the land into a “nature.preserve.” Some of their ideas included hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and other outdoor sports. There is also the possibility, they believe, of outdoor classrooms and environmental studies. The FSA promises to research the subject of what to do with the land more thoroughly and hopes to come up with a decision at the next meeting. 9:30 tract undeveloped, but ESA it hoping to put it to educational or recreational use.

OCH, a service of Sub Board I, Inc., is reorganizing under the guidance of its director Harold Fleisher. Fleisher is instituting a new filing system to update the cumbersome system now in use. Under the old system, each available house or apartment was listed on a separate page. The new filing system is condensed, containing only vital information, and lists as many as 25 houses and apartments per page. Information such as address, area, bedrooms available, price, parking, accessibility to handicapped, and the landlord's phone number are included. This new system should be in use by Thanksgiving. This week is off campus housing week with representatives from OCH, Group Legal Services and NYPIRG discussing issues such as tenants’ rights, energy conservation and off campus housing services. The discussions will take place today in Squire Hall’s Haas Lounge at 12 noon, Wedrtesday in 232 Squire from 2-3 p.m. and Thursday again in 232 Squire between 2-4 p.m. Other ideas to be introduced by the director are the updating of old files and a supplemental file outlining other houses available in two months. All the new filing system changes were made with the hope of someday becoming part of a computer system, if funds are available. .

Supporters of the national Silk vyood effort charge that the congressional committees, reporters and investigators have thus far turned up enough evidence to warrant a full-scale investigation, and- feel that the time has come for President Carter to demand one. Locally, such petitions have been circulated by anti-nuclear groups at LIB and Buffalo State College. “This suit is extremely important to our public safety and our most fundamental civil liberties,” charged former Congresswoman Bella Abzug in a recent letter soliciting support for the Siikwood investigation. “The nuclear industry and certain government agencies have repeatedly acted to stall the truth over the past three years,” she declared. According to Rolling Stone Silkwood knew that 4S pounds of plutonium (enough to make 4 atomic bombs) were unaccounted for at the Kerr-McGee plant and suspected the existence of a corporate smuggling ring. She reported this and the radioactive contamination of 73 plants workers to the Atomic Energy Commission in the fall of 1974, as an elected OCAW official. , Silkwood investigators claim they have evidence Kerr-McGee security agents supplied with CIA-connected equipment, and the Oklahoma City unit Silkwood’s bugged Police Intelligence that apartment, tapped her phone, and monitored her personal and political A six-month suspension was imposed upon Rosenblatt-Roth in the Fall of 1977 after ne requested that his teaching schedule be modified to allow him time to fly to New York on Fridays before the Sabbath.

The amount of time involved is another factor since students may be “long gone” before anything decided. will be significant Landlords can use this skepticism and transiency of the students to their advantage. They can afford to sit out a lengthy court decision. Though a student can threaten to hold back rent, the legalities of that action are questionable. There are only a few extreme cases where a tenant can hold back rent, and then it is usually to put the money in an escrow account.

Head coach Dando, Bill in the pivotal King spot, directed his relatively young Buffalo squad to an early lead. However, a few short-sided moves by UB pavwd the way for Alfred University to capture the game. positioned Former UB linebacker Sam Sanders trium|5hantly returned to Rotary Field, not as a combatant, but as head coach of the Saxons who by hook or by crook, came from behind to stop the Bulls 20-12. In this game it was the offensive linemen who were the pawns. Glory seems to elude them, yet they are the ones who determine the game's outcome. Late in the first quarter, .the line was instrumental in a 76-yard scoring drive for UB. Quarterback Jim Rodriguez began to get his passing act together after early difficulties. Failing to hit on his first seven attempts, Rodriguez received noteworthy protection and fired to Gary Quatrani for a quick \ I yards. Just as the Queen is the most potent weapon on a chessboard, so was Rodriquez as the Bulls’ field general. Once the ice was broken, he again went to Quatrani for two more first and plays downs, in six maneuvered the Bulls 60 yards downfield. Deflected touchdown Crossing up the defense, Potsdam wins, 58 6-0. The Buffalo defense, which held the Saxons to a draw in the first quarter, saw mother luck turn against them in the next series. Free safety Boh Castanzo stepped in to pick off a Bob Shuster pass, only to deflect it into the hands of fullback Jim Bundy who ran the length of the field unscathed, for the go ahead Saxon lead, 7-6. The ball then changed hands six times, just as the Bulls were forced to change quarterbacks. Rodriguez, the blossoming signal-caller, was forced to leave the match when Poley imbedded his helmet into the quarterback's ribcage." Spitting blood and dizziness, complaining of Rodriguez was removed from the game by Bulls head coach Dando. Freshman Angelo Scappa was inserted into the lineup. Though Poley too grasped his head after the collision and was escorted off the field, he soon rolled back on and prrived to be the instrumental force in the Saxons' victory. High 'Price' performance On the Bulls’ next possession, with Poley still on the sidelines, Scappa appeared to be the Bulls' ray of hope. Costanza dropped back to receive a Saxon punt. Clutching the ball, he slipped' through the Alfred special team defense and was finally thwarted by Paddy Guthrie A fingertip's touch,‘two judges’ decisions. Governor Carey and two feet of water all had something in common Saturday afternoon at Clark Pool. Together they all were blamed for the loss of UB’s sv^inj -team, 58-51, to Potsdam State. It all began when the Potsdam coach pulled out her diving team five minutes before the meet, refusing to allovy' them to compete. She argued that the pool’s depth below the diving board was only ten feet, two feet less than regulation depth and that one of her divers had hit her head on the bottom during' warmups. The complaint was valid according to the fudges, even though it had„jiever been an issue in the pool’s 30-yegr history. Exhibition diving was held instead by the UB divers for the needed experience and in the. process Eileen Wood broke the school’s by ten points. But her efforts went unrecorded and the probable 16 points that would have been scored went uncounted. record However, there were varsity records that did make it into the books. Co-captain Amy Brisson 100-yard set records in the butterfly and 200 freestyle. Becker broke the Holly 50-yard breaststroke record in a 34.6 second seim. In the 100 breaststroke Jennifer Fischer broke another record and put the team ahead, 55-51, going into the final event, the 200-yard freestyle relay.

Coach Pamela Noakes was amazed by the Potsdam coach’s refusal to let her divers compete. “That has never happened to any team at this pool,”, she fumed. “We lost the 16 points that I know we would have had. If I can help it such an incident will never happen again.” She blamed the archaic pool on both the diving and relay disputes. “If our new pool had been built as promised by Governor Carey, then we would have an electronic timing system and the pool would be regulation depth.” — — * Roily Poley all Buffalo end zone Scappa once again tried to ignite the Bulls, but his failure to seek alternate receivers hurt his effectiveness. Poley again was the thorn in the Bulls’ side just minutps into the fourth quarter. Defensive tackle Andy Lasky tipped a Scappa pass into and Poley, undaunted, took the ball and waltzed in for the 20-yard score. When the Buffalo offense looked up at the scoreboard,-they found themselves behind by eight, with time running out. With just- over two minutes remaining, Scappa had the Bulls on the move just inside Saxon Again, penalty flags drove them back and eventually they had to give up the ball. The Saxons took the ball over and check-mated the Bulls in~ their season finale. For the season, the territory. Despite the setback, Scappa asserted himself. Throwing strikes of 42 and 12 yards respectively to Quatrani, the Bulls’ offense advanced to the Saxon 34 yard line, but stalled there. Pawluk attempted the field goal, but number 61, Poley, scooted ' through the middle, blocking the kick.

The new administration did not have much time to bask in the glory. All new officials took office Thursday morning, just eight hours after the results were made known. The first Student Senate meeting with the new officers is today at 3 p.m. in Talbert Hall. Two related referendums on the ballot were solidly approved. The first, asking for support for a Student Course And Teacher Evaluation program (SCATE) was given the nod, 822 to 70. A second referendum asking for authorization to use mandatory fees for SCATE was approved 519 to 352. The elections thus close the book on the wildest, mqst bitter, most divisive two months in recent SA history a period that saw the SA Executive Committee do lowest every position. Schwartz, with no opponent in the race for President, and Scott Jiusto, who also ran unopposed for Director of Student Affairs, had an easy time, of course. But the other races wre teasingly close the — Advocate Party narrowly defeating Epic Party candidates and two independents in some of the closest tallying in recent £A history. • Joel Mayersohn of Advocate, a former campus editor of The Spectrum, slipped by Epic’s Turner Robinson, president of the Black Student Union, 460 votes to 352. Incumbent ,Jane Baum defeated Epic challenger Ed Guity in the contest for Vice President for Sub Board I, 428 to 368. Adovcate’s Jim Killigrew edged Epic’s Dana Cowan for the Treasurer’s position; 406 to 362. In the tightest race in recent memory, Carlos Benitez, running on the Epic and - daily battle; that dragged the participants the Student Wide Judiciary (SWJ) several times to settle constitutional questions; and that ended in mid-term the tumultuous political careers of former SA to Advocate Parties, became the new Director of Student Activities and Services, beating Independent Barry Calder by a mere 17 votes, 406,to 389. And in the election’s biggest trouncing, incumbent Director of Academic Affairs Sheldon Gopstein was solidly beaten by Advocate’s Diane Fade, 466 to 289. Gopstein is a member of the SA faction N«wly-«lacted SA President Kart Treasurer Fred Wawrzonek, Director of Student Activities Barry Rubin, Director of Student Affairs Lori Pasternak and Director of Academic Affairs Sheldon Schwartz An end to the in-fighting of the last two months that for the past month has been battling both Schwartz and his support for the mid-term elections. In the contest for Student Association of the State University (SASU) delegates, three incumbents were returned to their posts. Don Berey with 445, Marcia Edelstein with 526 and James Stern with 487 defeated lone challenger Francis Cobian with 387. Edelstein’s totaHvas the highest in the election. The voter turnout, 962, is one of the Gopstein. Only Gopstein attempted to retain his position in this week’s elections. For Schwartz, Thursday brought an office full of friendly faces and an end to the daily confrontations that had characterized SA through October. Vol. 29, No. 35 10 November 1978 State University of Friday, New York at Buffalo History Dept, turmoil revealed Yearley’s ‘outrageous evaluations sealed in Archives ’ case, the Dean of Social Sciences. by Daniel S. Parser Campus Editor Any day now approval of Professor Leo Loubere as the new Chairman of the History Department is expected from Vice President of Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn’s office. But the selection of a new chairman carries special significance as the final chapter in a period of internal turmoil that rocked the History faculty members, after History Department last spring discovering Yearley’s comments, and abbreviated Clifton Yearley’s had two main concerns. One tenure as History Chairman centered around the question: Yearley, who became chairman how could such extraneous in 1973, is co-author of the material go so .far up the a renow ted Hull-Yearly report administrative ladder without forerunner to the proposed someone screaming “Foul?” The Academic Plan; was head of the second was the fear that the search committee for the new comments could be used against dean of Undergraduate Education faculty members and jeopardize (DUE), and was a leading their standing in either the contender for the position of dean University or damage their of the Graduate School. professional and personal In compiling a 197 7 reputations. - departmental annual report, Yearley opted to include personal evaluations in alphabetical order of every faculty member in History. These extraofous evaluations included personal judgements that faculty members termed, “totally inappropriate, vicious and outrageous.” History professors charged Yearley’s comments included sexist remarks and contained gratituous - — inormation' and ad* homin.m (irrelevant) comments. In the year 2008 After incensed faculty Acting History Department R. Arthur Bowler explained the department’s Chairman selection of a new chairman. “Deliberate discussion about the role of the chairman in the department was vague,” Bowler said. “Yearley was a strong chairman. The History Department wanted and benefited from a strong chair for a tirtre. Then this issue came up and the Department decided it wanted to re-think the role of the chairman.” . . members read the report, Yearley was pressured to resign cutting short his term as chairman by one - year. Beyond an ann lal report An annual report, required by the SUNY Board of Trustees, usually contains statistical data on enrollment figures, new The report brought a storm of appointments, publications by objections from the History faculty members and the number faculty and University of faculty on leave or working on administrators, and was eventually grants although evaluations of sealed in the University Archives, the status of the department are where it will officially remain not unheard of.

The Dean’s annual report is then sent to the Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn’s office, with individual chairman's reports included as appendices. Bunn’s office condenses the documents even more before copies are sent 1976-77 report. The document, plus Yearley’s reports from the two previous years, were sealed in the University archives where they Will remain untouched for 30 years barring a court order for their use. University to Department, • Yearley’s annual report did not limit itself to the type of statistical data that usually dominates an annual report. Over one year ago Yearley drafted his annual report for the 1976-1977 year. The report, which was completed by June, The internal problem had been handled and the search for a new chairman concluded. Overwhelming support, emerging from a mail ballot, pushed Loubere into the spotlight. He is currently awaiting reports according to most facuiiy members, bad memories still linger. History Professor Richard Ellis, claiming Yearley overstepped his bounds, remarked, “Yearley described the report 'as jocular, but a lot of people didn’t find it funny. He clearly wanted to get some people.” History Professor Larry handled, History annual report almost one year after it was written in May, 1978. Departmental meetings in May witnessed Yearley voluntarily - his chairmanship and the of two History department committees: one. responsible for negotiations with the University Administration to determine the eventual outcome of Yearley’s report; and the other to draft a letter repudiating the creation Schneider, who served on both intra-departmental noted, committees continually with Ketter’s office and, after considerable re-writing, a cover letter from Ketter endorsing the History met by ‘Embarrassing and damaging' Although the issue was efficiently and adequately History faculty reviewed Yearley’s controversial report. The negotiating approval Bunn’s office.— One year later ... The turmoil surfaced when resign Allen added he did not know why Yearley added the extra material, but suggested, “Some of . was forwarded to former Social Science Provost Arthur Butler. In early July, the report was sitting on Bunn’s desk, and by the end of the month, Ketter had received the Vice President for Academic Affairs annual report with approximately 121 other departmental annual attached as supplements. Butler.” A cover letter from Ketter endorsing the History faculty’s objections was permanently affixed to Yearley’s 1976-77 report. That document, plus Yearley’s reports from the previous two years, were sealed in the University Archives where they will remain untouched for 20 years President Robert L. Ketter.

Regan stunned both his fellow Republican-Conservatives and the £ o opposition Democrat-Liberals with his upset win over Harrison -3 Goldin for the state comptrollers it office. The win will make Regan the highest ranking Republican holding office and will likely make him a contender for the 1982 gubernatorial campaign. While Governor Hugh Carey’s defeat of Assembly Minority Leader Perry Duryea was predicted by the major networks and newsservices less than 20 minutes after the polls closed, Regan was not predicted to be the new comptroller until nearly 3 a.m. Wednesday morning. The predictions were delayed by a breakdown in the computer system which tallies and gives statisticaf analyses of the vote totals to the three major television networks, the Associated Press and United Press International. Goldin did not officially concede the election to Regan until 10 a.m. Wednesday morning. Official vote counts showed Goldin leading heavily -in the downstate areas with the exception of Long Island which came in very heavily for Regan. But Regan trounced Goldin in the upstate areas, particularly here in Erie County where he garnered more than a two-to-one margin over Goldin. The distribution of the votes was not at all surprising since Regan has served as County Executive here for three years and Goldin has been New York City’s comptroller for a number of years. • Underdog While Regan had been the self admitted underdog through the campaign, he had capitalized on the fact that Goldin was comptroller during the time of New York City’s severe fiscal crisis. Forseeing this strategy, since early September Goldin had virtually flooded the television airwaves with commercials which stressed his accomplishments. Goldin also gained strength from Regan’s virtual anonymity in the downslate areas. TTie situation reached a humorous climax whfen the New York Daily News recently identified Regan as Duryea’s son in a photograph. Regan spent most of Election Day in New York City until his victory was assured. He returned to Buffalo Wednesday night, where he was greeted by a jubilant crowd and a party at Club 747. Speculation as to who will succeed Regan is already running rampant. Under present law, the county legislature will appoint an interim executive to serve until next year when Regan's term of office would have expired. Since the county legislature is presently dominated by Republicans, the interim county executive is likely to be a Republican also. Among the names being mentioned for th r interim post is that of County Comptroller THE NEW MAN: Erie County Executive Edward Regan's characteristic smile is quite appropriate these days since his upset win over Harrison Goldin for the state's comptroller's seat, vacated by the retiring Arthur Levitt. Will Regan's smile last through his next four years in the grueling office? Alfreda Slotninski. Regarv\ was clearly not pleased at the thought of Slominski succeeding hint when the subject was brought up at his airport reception Wednesday. Earlier this year, Regan accused Slominski of trying to sabotage his nomination as the Republican candidate for state comptroller. The comptroller’s office is designed to be the fiscal watchdog of state government but it is unclear just what effect a Republican comptroller will have on Carey’s Democratic administration. The state’s Department_of the Budget (DOB) has a heavy hand in financial disbursements, including a considerable amount of autonomy from the rest of the state government. In Erie County: Voters approve propositions to recall officials, limit taxes City of Buffalo Proposition One, which enables Buffalo, voters to recall elected officials before their term of office has expired, was approved by an almost three to one margin in last Tuesday’s elections. Two Erie County propositions. Propositions One and Two, both tax limiting proposals devised in the wake of this year’s tax revolt, passed by margins of almost 80 percent. Proposition One requires a reduction in the county’s property taxing limit from one and one-half percent to one percent of full valuation. Proposition Two mandates a two-thirds vote, rather than a simple majority, for the county legislature to raise taxes of levy new ones. Under the measure, taxes can also be raised by a simple majority vote but the approval of the public must be sought through a referendum. The recall proposition was placed on the ballot after the Common Council overrode Mayor James Griffin’s veto of the proposal. A recall amendment was first proposed two years ago by a citizen’s commission but was voted down by the Common Council. However, last years elections new put eight councilmen in office, including University District Councilman Eugene Fahey who revived the recall proposal and sponsored it through the council. Fahey has denied that the recall measure is designed to attack Griffin personally and points out that most other American cities already have recall measures built into their city charters. Fahey insists that the recall measure is simply a logical way of insuring that elected government officials will be more responsive to their constituents. None the less, shortly after the Common Council overrode the mayor’s veto in September, Buffalo firefighters called for Griffin’s removal from office even though a recall was not possible until this week’s elections. The firefighters are over angry manpower cuts and delayed promotions the Fire in Department. Under the new measure, a recall election will be mandated when at least 20 percent of the registered voters in the district of the city official sign a recall petition. The petition signatures must have voted in the most recent gubernatotial election. If the official loses the subsequent election by a aimple majority, he will be out of office.

We expect it in sports stars, film giants or newpaper reporters. But arrogant politicians? In the mad, mad world of campaigning and public appeal, the nice guys usually finish first. The political winners are often the Jack Kemp types pleasant but firm, always a smile, willing to listen, polite even to adversaries and so on. - All of which makes Hugh Carey somewhat of an anomoly. To David Garth, media wizard and high-priced Carey’s campaign consultant, the Governor must be tough. Tough on crime, tough on taxes, tough on special interests. But to anyone who watches Carey closely, even during the height of a campaign, the man is arrogant brutally, blatantly arrogant. He sneers, he scoffs, he ridicules and he gloats over his own popularity at the polls. That such irreverance carried the state convincingly Tuesday is - Commentary breaks all the rules of image politics. Hence we are blitzed with the television Garth-produced commercials that show only a fleeting glimpse of the Governor after the facts on his toughness have been thrust across the screen for 27 of the spot’s 30 seconds. So perhaps Carey is the first “burglar alarm” candidate. People don’t want to see him. They just want to know he’s there. And Carey was everywhere Tuesday, winning solidy upstate and down sweeping the urban centers of Buffalo and New York. With incumbents who aren’t good both a remarkable example of voter’s mercurial ways, and a curious tribute to the Brooklyn street-fighter’s redefinition of populist politics. “You don’t have to like me to vote for me,” Carey is fond of saying. Indeed, there is not much for the casual observer to like about the Governor. He is not a a particularly handsome man thick grizzly neck, deep set eyes, unevenly graying hair, a tight, controlled smile that borders on a — smirk. Charisma? Not quite. Nobody falls in love with Carey’s demeanor and the Governor will never be accused of inspiring the masses. Garth’s blitz Hugh Carey, quite simply, strategy campaign the looking, is always: ‘Took at the spout facts, Talk numbers, point out exactly what your candidates, has done and what your opponent has failed to do, all in units like tax dollars, specific bills, thousands of jobs etc. faarth, right now the most valuable political consultant in America (He has already received a feeler from Jimmy Carter) strategy works this simple brilliantly, bombarding the public with straight-talk: “The more you know the facts, the more you know Hugh Carey is right for 'record”.

What has been called "tough crime” legislation was an even late* last minute affair, passed in the final hours of the legislative session. Carey the Irish-Catholic fought ' for state funding for abortions some angering conservatives and pitting the interest special machine-like group, the Right to Lifer’s, against him. Carey has been no friend to education, losing the endorsement of almost all education labor groups like the NYEA to Perry - Duryea. With all these people mad at would him, you think the Governor would at least cater to his supporters. But no, Carey appears to loathe campaigning and his consistent arrogance turns a lot of heavyweights off. Thus, the “you don’t have to like me” line. was Carey’s arrogance practically paraded in glory at last Friday’s rally on the Main Street Campus. The Governor was not timid, not apologetic, not polite a certainly not in and comprimising mood as he faced the difficult task of confronting an angry/ crowd that wanted, as the saying goes, blood. Special interests But even some of the facts seemed to be violently against Governor Hugh L. Carey won reelection in Tuesday’s gubernatorial election, ending a rigorous and frequently vicious campaign against Assembly Minority Leader Perry Duryea. Carey took 53 percent of the electorate to Duryea’s 47 percent and won in virtually all the upstate and New York City counties with the exception of Binghamton and Long Island which came out for Duryea. New York City Democrats filled two of the remaining three top offices in the state government “but were blocked from a complete sweep by the election of Republican-Conservative Ned Regan of Buffalo to the State Comptrollers office. Mario Coumo of Queens was elected Lieutenant Governor on the same ticket as Carey’s-over Bruce Caputo of Yonkers. Bronx Bourough President Robert Abrams easily defeated Republican-Conservative Michael Roth for Attorney-general DemocraULiberal Abrams will succeed Republican Attorney-General Louis Lefkowitz who is retiring. Voter tirrnout was predictably light with only 60 percent of all registered voters, casting their ballots. A light turnout had been expected to favor the Republicans but Duryea’s supporters were disappointed, particularly when polls taken early this summer had shown Duryea with a 29 percent lead over Carey. That early lead an uncommon string of personal there are big things he won’t do and political attacks.

The of the Assembly, with 88 Democrats But, the Democrats have lost their most powerful state legislator, Assembly Speaker Stanley Steingut of Brooklyn, who was defeated in his re-election bid on Tuesday after serving for 26 years in the Legislature. Locally, Democrat-Conservative G. James Fremming lost a very close race for the 141st Assembly district, which surrounds the Amherst Campus, to Williamsville Mayor John B. Sheffer 11, A Republican. The race had been close from the very beginning-but Sheffer’s victory was not entirely surprising since the 141st district is a solidly Republican area with more than 60 percent of the voters registered as Republicans. Fremming has held the office since 1974 but in his two races for it he has won by margins of only several hundred Votes.

The Food and (FDA) Administration Drug sought a ban against the artificial sweetner in 1977, but was stalled 18-month moratorium by an imposed by Congress. Last week, the National Academy of Sciences concluded that saccharin “must be viewed as a potential cause of cancer in humans,” not only because of its direct carcinogenic properties, but because “of its possible action as a promoter of cancer.” A report released by the Academy concluded that the artificial sweetener may act as a catalyst with other carcinogens and increase the risks of cancer dramatically. Safety and welfare The FDA is the governmental agency endowed with the power to affect the welfare of over 218 million Americans. It is charged with protecting the health and safety of consumers against unsafe and improperly labeled foods, drugs and cosmetics. The main thrust of FDA’s efforts in insuring food additive around the safety center Generally Regarded As Safe list (GRAS). Established in 1958 by a Congressional amendment to a Food Additive Act, GRAS is a comprehensive listing of all food additives certified as safe for human consumption on the basis of research by qualified scientists. The GRAS listing was accepted without review from 1958 till 1969 when the cyclamate issue arose. Discovered to cause bladder cancer, mutations and birth defects in laboratory animals, cyclamates were banned from the market by the FDA in 1970. As a result.

According to Cornell University economist Duane Chapmen Chapmen spoke on “The Case of.Public Ownership” of the American energy industry Tuesday evening in the Millard Fillmore Academic Complex. Chapmen, the principle investigator for a research program on the economic structure of the oil industry at Cornell, revealed that the petroleum industry brought pressure upon the Cornell administration to threaten him wiht the loss of tenure and possible imprisonment if the program results were made public. In cooperation with other economists at the Ivy League institution, Chapment demonstrated that the oil industry in neither a competitive, free market, as the oil companies contend,, or a profit-hungry monopoly ripe for divestiture, as liberals and some conservation groups have claimed, instead waht Chapmen terms a . “growth monopoly”. Cries of monopoly The growth monopoly, Chapmen stated, does not attempt to reap astronomical profits from the public, but simply to have the buyer use enormous amounts of their product while making reasonable profit on each item sold. In the case of the petroleum industry, Chapmen contended, the industry encourages the public to consume electricity, gasoline, fuel oil and plastics at an every-increasing rate while maintaining a profit margin of about 10 percent. While many liberals in this country have called for the breakup of huge oil companies like Exxon, Texaco, Shell and Standard of Indiana, Chapmen felt that there is little basis for the cries of “Monopoly” raised by consumer and conservation groups. Prices for all petroleum energy sources he as measured in constant dollars (dollars whose value does not change, even taking into account inflation and deflation), had declined from the time of their introduction until 1973 he said. The only exception was heating oil, with a nearly constant price from 1900 to 1973. During the' same time period, production has also increased. Chapmen concluded hold back production. On the other hand. Chapmen does not take the competition between the major oil companies seriously. The oil companies are so mired, he believes, in agreements, contracts and interlocking ownerships and refineries that they are not able to operate independently. Many companies take oil idea of from jointly owned wells, process it at co-owned refineries, sell and buy from other companies, and market it through subsidaries of smaller companies under a completely different brand name. A thesis prepared by a graduate student at Cornell states that “perhaps ten percent of the gasoline sold in this company is controlled, produced and refined by the same company.” Chapmen also quoted the President of Phillips Petroleum, who, when questioned by the 'federal Trade feommission stated that “We use additives in gasoline so that we can sell them under different brand names. 1 don’t know if they make any difference in the gasoline at all.” The goal of the big petroleum companies, by Jean-Marc Brun Spectrum Staff Writer students at Stanford University. The University of California Regents recently' rejected a proposal to sell $500 million worth of stocks in companies doing business in South Africa, even though 59 protesting students were arrested while occupying the Administration building at U.C. at Berkley. According to Student Association (SA) President Karl Schwartz, UB has an annual account balance of $150 million which is held in banks that are large investors in South Africa. Schwartz says, “There is no movement protesting this yet, but I'd like to organize a campaign to get UB money out of banks which have interests in South Africa. UB’s Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty contest* this, claiming that ddr funds are held in banks that conduct few international transactions. "There is no bank,” Doty admits, “that if you didn’t look hard enough, you wouldn’t find a connection with South Africa in some way.” Racial segregation The South African government is founded on the principles of apartheid which advocates a strict system of racial segregation. Positions of importance and responsibility are virtually monopolized by whites. The blacks, who comprise the vast majority of the population, occupy lower echelon positions on all levels of government and business. By owning shares in companies dealing in South Africa, students charge, universities are indirectly supporting this racial - Public-owned companies in the process, he stated, “The public is exposed to nuclear radiation, increased car accidents, greater energy waste, and,a drain on the average American’s budget.” And the trend, lie continued is spreading. “Most major companies in other energy fields are owned by oil companies.” The nuclear industry is seventy percent controlled by oil interests, and the coal companies are 50 percent owned by petroleum inequity. The State University of New York (SUNY) system has an Endowmeht Fund of $55 million from which LIB collects $3 million a year, or roughly two percent of its annual budget. Doty Admits that a large number of UB stocks are held by corporations having subsidiaries in South Africa. However Doty explains, “Almost all major U.S.' corporations do business in South Africa, and fh? larger corporations are safer investments." “Divestiture combined with other factors will the apartheid make a substantial difference in the supporting government,” Schwartz believes. "A' country which is founded on the ideals of liberty and equality such as the U.S. should not be guilty of helping perpetuate a racist regime.” said. Chapmen recomended that the present energy industry be replaced by smaller, publicly-owned companies. Large public projects are not the answer; “The Tennessee Valley Authority (a public power system) has the worst pollution record of all the major utilities,’’ and he believes the situation would be much the same for public energy corporations. Withdrawal harm Corporate leaders who have decided to stay in South Africa despite threats of divestituri contend that it would harm-blacks there if companies pursued a policy of total withdrawal. By discontinuing economic relations with South Africa, some 60,000 blacks would lose their jobs. According to Freddy Sauls, an organizer for black workers in the Port Elizabeth, South Africa auto industry, “It’s all very well for people to urge disinvestment while they sit comfortably in aome nice office 8,000 miles away. But if the American auto plants here closed down, l*d have thousands of men looking for work and literally wondering where the next meal would come from.” Doty believes that American corporations may have actually lessened racial inequity through their enlightened outlook on equality Senate Meeting • of races. Reverend Dr. Leon Sullivan, a civil rights activist and member of the Board of Directors at General Motors, has set up a code of conduct that U.S. corporations should comply with based on fair-employment TODAY practices and equal opportunity.

Ann Seidman, an economist and professor at Brown University, claims -•that U.S. business investments are, in fact, “one of the key factors in supporting the militarist government that uses a variety of brutal means to suppress the black mdjdrity.” The cost of divestiture for schools like Harvard, Princeton, Yale and Stanford would be enormous since each school has over $100 million invested in corporations with subsidiaries in South Africa. Schools, like Harvard, have not yielded to student demands, but established committees to monitor the affirmative action policies of companies in which they have stock. One protest at Harvard last year drew 5,000 demonstrators to demand divestiture. Students across the country continue to demand total divestiture. Over 300 students and activists are currently attending the Midwest Conference on University and Corporate Involvement in South Africa in Evanston, Illinois.

Apathy for all its varied sources has \fery little to do with walking by the voting booth and not stopping. More than inaction, it is ignorance in its purest form, where ® ojir allies are To the Editor - I want to commend the SA, The Spectrum and NYPIRG for leading the protest last Friday against cut-backs in state funding for our campus. Finally, it seems, students are drawing the line at how much they are willing to put up with. Good! But it troubled me that, by opposing the domed stadium at Syracuse University, we are being pitted against toxic spills! We live in Niagara Falls, or in some other threat is just at clear. They are us! If the state: it’s either funds for UB or funds for cleaning up the Love Canal then we are being pitted against ourselves! “Stop Red-lining in Buffalo To me l’ ve been teaching here at UB for ten years it came as no surprise to leam that of all the research into business and finance problems that goes on, highly paid research, that no one bothered to investigate back red-lining here in Buffalo, or dis-investment of funds out of the city; and that it took three under-paid VISTA volunteers working with NYP1RG to do that needed research! I agree with The Spectrum editorial completely: what an indictment of this University’s idea of priorities that this is so! I see our fight for a better University, one more in keeping with what a university ought to be doing for the people, as allied with the interests of those who live,, for instance, in the Leroy-Fillmore area and who are organizing to fight the by banks in Buffalo. To cooperate with them, we need to re-orient the direction of our research owrk at city where the we are told by - ” - - - — other students' needs, as they define them. True, that is a private university, but . . .

Are you kidding? Whose needs are being satisfied by larger lecture classes, more and more running between buildings, fewer hours when the libraries are open, fewer books in them, more overcrowding in the dorms, and so on? Our needs? Really? Governors of both political parties-confront us at this State University with a dilemma: the state budget is limited, so who shall be cut back? You here at UB? or the state mental patients? Or those UB. on welfare? or the Handicapped? Or the public “Clean Up West Valley Nuclear Wastes Getty school teachers? or funds for the environmental Oil Corporation dumped this 250,000-year mess into protection? This is the logic of both parties; it is the our backyard, and dumped the costs into the lap of students cannot even imagine what they're missing, much logic of “limited state funds.” We, citizens of New New York State taxpayers some say $500 million less analyze or criticize it. York State, are being asked: which of you shall be to clean it up now. Nice trick, eh? Well, we don’t cut-back? Let the voters decide! Go ahead, fight it have to accept this rip-off scheme. We can ally Without any constituency in mind, student officials out! ourselves with the citizens of the West Valley area come to grips with apathy by telling themselves; we'll do Rather than allow our interests to be pitted who are organized to fight this dump of nuclear what is best for students, in general.

What ever happened to notion has legitimatized SA officers' self-perceptions and is, ourselves with these same people, and with their the old spirit of “free enterprise” we hear so much usually, a sincere pledge, it is largely-a hollow one for the interests to fight against this logic of “limited state money? What ever happened' to the old spirit of realization slowly builds that no one knows what's best for funds,” Just who are these other groups? and what taking risks? Hell, there’s not risk involved for Getty students. Because apathy leaves officers with no external are their interests?

So it is hardly a surprise when officers conflict, programs University.

At about ten minutes to eleven, the line began were crowding around and the vague semblance of an orderly 1 file disappeared in the confusion. 1 found myself 20th on line. This was annoying, but not as disturbing as the ensuing events. 1 had thought that you only needed an ID card to obtain tickets at Squrie and then you received only four tickets per ID. Some of my friends at the front of the line had 10 or 15 ID s and were buying tickets in 40 and 50 seat blocks. As a result, I am nowhere near the first vfive rows, despite waiting on line for hours. What 1 propose is a redefinement of ticket allotment maxims. Insfead of four tickets per ID, it should be four tickets per person with an ID. Also, a sticel of paper could be passed around and signed to eliminate any unnecessary cutting into line. 1 think these two adjustments are only fair to those who wait on line.

Backpage Campus > >9 �dayfrldayfrldayfridayfrldayfridoA IRCB feedback clarifies To the Editor: As Chairman of the IRCB, Inc. Board of Directors, I feel a responsibility to clarify certain issues and misconceptions that may have paused confusion recently. Allow me to begin with the misunderstanding that IRCB had almost S600,000 in profits last year. Not quite. Total sales reached almost $600,000, not profits. IRCB is a not-for-profit corporation and any excess revenue is channelled back into IRCB. This year, we have been able to buy a substantial amount of durable equipment which will seiVe our clientele for many years. This is quite an improvement over the make-shift equipment which IRCB had been using (and repairing) for the last few years. Additionally some money is granted to IRC and WIRC for their operations. A recent quote attributed to me implied that the success of IRCB this year is due solely to the Board of Directors. While we have certainly made a sizeable contribution to IRCB’s Success, the vastmajority of the credit must go to our executives, managers and employees. It is a rare and dedicated individual who is willing to continuously devote so much time and energy to the student body with so little in return. Fortunately for IRCB. our management staff, led by Business Manager John Sandmder, consists of such individuals. It is due to the many hours of work put in by these people that IRCB is the viable, student run corporation that it is. This leads me to my next point. IRCB is the only major corporation on this campus run completely by students. There are no full-time employees, as there are at Sub Board I and F.S.A. Of course, this has never stopped any of our managers or controllers from putting in over 40 hours a week. We are students, we are learning, and we are improving all the time. However, we do make mistakes sometimes, in spite of our best intentions. When that happens, we would ask you to bear with us, and we will rectify the problem as soon as possible. If you see something that upsets you, ask someone in charge for an explanation. We would rather that you voice your complaints, than walk away unsatisfied. Finally, on behalf of the Board of Directors, let me thank everyone for their patronage and cooperation in the past and express our sincere wish that we will be able to serve the dorm students at UB for many years. Matthew S. Conick Chairman of Board of Directors IRCB, Inc. ‘State of the SA’ • Today at 3 p.m, in the Talbert Hall Senate Chamber, Student Association (SA) President Kiri Schwartz will address the Student Senate on the “State of the Student Association.” Schwartz plans to spotlight the roster of issues SA plans to attack in the coming months. All students are invited to the meeting for a first hand look at their student government in operation. That’s today, in Talbert Hall (next to Capen) at 3 p.m. The State of SA. All students welcome. Who are the subversives? To the Editor. The other day I happened to stumble across a bulletin published by the local chapter of the League of Women Voters which purported to be a “non-partisan voters guide” to the candidates in the 197$ elections. However, the front page list of candidates for statewide offices omits the candidates sponsored by I) The Fjee Libertarian Party, 2) the Socialist Workers Party, and 3) The Communist Party USA. All-three of the omitted parties are definitely sponsoring candidates at least for - Governor and Lt. Governor. Upset about this, I decided to call the LWV’s in Buffalo. I did, and was referred to Mrs. Doris Edwards, President of the Erie County chapter. She wanted to refer me to someone else. When I toed to tell her that I had already been referred once, she hung up on me! This act prompted my letter to the editor. To . my mind, the LWV’s guide is certainly partisan. It says to me that the LWV is supporting only those candidates listed in their guide. What does this mean concerning their credibility as a y;inon-partisan organization. I am no stranger to the League of Women Voters. I know that they have in the past taken, at least in principle, progressive stands on many issues. However, when it comes to practice, to living up to principles, this case indicates to me a shortsighted basic and self-contained to the approach constitutional notion of political freedom. 1 would sincerely like to know just who the subversives are when it comes to the U.S. Constitution. Disappointed, ? — Football ends William C. Foege, Jr. To the Editor AGGRESSIVE. Thanks girls. Third, is da’ Bird. He is a very sick individual who I feel sorry for. With three more years of college he could become a jerk. Seriously, he’s the greatest, and has more spirit than a quart of grain. Without you Bird, it wouldn’t be worth it. Thanks, . trying to be Well, the UB football season ends Saturday on a semi-national holiday Jumbo Doghouse. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who made this part of my senior year just a little more fun. First, ar? those moronic, drunk, high, screaming, low intelligence level, crude, corrupt, oversexed, rowdy, raunchy, horny, (in one word fucked-up) members of the “MYAH” crowd. I think it was great for anyone to show up at the games, but these low-lifes added a special flavor to any game guarenteed to leave a bad taste in opponents fan’s mouths. You morons had spirit, (or is that spirits) and are the greatest. I can’t believe there were even some really rowdy bitches. So thanks to anyone who — showed at the games, especially the Tampon Bay Bushmen, (nice fucking name), the members of that great (just ask Greg) fraternity, TKE (you guys are number 12 in my book), and of course My ah Delta Doghouse, of which I’m a due playing member(you lugas, no r in that word). Second, are Mrs. Dando and the cheerleaders. Mrs. Dando is a truly super lady and has done a great job. As for the cheerleaders, anytime any of you wants ACTION call me, you were fantastic, just keep aquaintance. Last, but most important is Coach Dando and the team. Fqr a team that the Reporter thought might never win, you guys were pretty impressive. Nobody could ever accuse you of quitting although you usually didn’t start until the fourth quarter. Coach Dando may have of had a computer offense, but some of his game winning plays would overload a computer’s circuits. This team was as much fun to watch as any big time team, and they played as hard. I’ll miss UB football when I’m gone next year because of this. Thanks. So, Saturday will be my last game, but I hope for many it’ll be a first, and the start of a long winning streak. If you come, you’ll have a lot of fun, if not it’s only because you didn’t want to, or aren’t smashed. So give me a “MMMM”, give me a “YYYY”, give me a “AHAHAH”, what have you got? Tell me at the game. , Uncle Vito The Waxperson strikes To the Editor: I could not help the position I was in. I did not park me. She did. But of course she was not there to protect me when I was so viciously attacked. No, as usual, she was inside the Undergraduate Library . nice and warm, quietly consuming 300 pages of American History. While I was in my familiar spot, the last car of the row parked out of the bounds of the white lines. There I was in Parking Lot 7 surrounded by selfish Chevys and Toyotas who had already stolen all the legal parking placed. And then it happened. That somebody attacked. But not with pen and paper in hand. Strangely enough with wax, mcilessly marking up my front window. “No Parking” was the message that was scrawled across my vision. “Oh Shit!”, was the reaction of my owner as she approached me after a long night buried in books. “What is this crap across your windshield?” she asked. I said that it wasn’t crap but wax, but that did not seem to reconcile her. I had nothing to offer her in sympathy no Kleenex or spit to wash off the disgrace in my eyes. So the whole way home I Mayor should forget studying, forget trying to legally park getting mentally deranged like she wted anyway? Will I be victimized again in the same way if my master dares repeat such an outrageous act? Did you take down my rank, name and serial number so ne*t time you can really attack me and give me a wax ticket? Or will you attack my back window soon to and stay home make me a matching set? Waxperson, will I ever know your position of unimportance? Why not stop wasting your time and your wax? Do something useful with your useless time. Like change my oil. Fix my muffler. Or paint some more stripes in the parking lot. a disgrace To the Editor; Mayor James Griffin, a man who knows nothing about education or the advancement of learning, has dared to address the citizens of Buffalo as if he were a supernatural god. In the typical manner of the militantly anti-intellectual entrepreneur, he has the audcaity to throw the awe-inspiring notion of accountability before a weary public, and, in response, we are all supposed to bow down at his feet. However, in the world of science Mr. Griffin opinion is not swayed to account by an appeal to conservative entrepreneurs who euphemistically dub themselves “taxpayers,” but rather, on the contrary, by an appeal to reason and the logical weighing of - - evidence. Consequently, there is no palpable reason any striaght thinking person should be bullied submission by an argument which rests on questionable notions as cost-effectiveness why into such and the accountability, while, in reality, saddling community with what amounts to the religious authority of the most conservative sector of the business establishment. The schools of this city and for your informaiton, Mr. Griffin are bulwarks of the republic, and, therefore, like the government itself, rest on the authority of the governed, and not the illegitimate and bankrupt claims of impudent capitalists bandying around the country had to listen to her curse at the mysterious waxperson of the night at Amherst Campus, as she struggled to see through the letters in my eyes. Come on now, waxperson, own up to»your actions. Who the hell are you? Was that an official method of deterring illegal parkers? Or was it a leftover Halloween prank? Was it a subtle hint that my owner Griffin - - epithet, “taxpayers.” Moreover, Mr. Mayor, you as well as the ruling members of the Easiness community are the ones who are responsible for the present contraction of the capitalist system, and, therefore, an appeal to the democratic principle would cause a free-thinking person to place the onus of opprobrium around your corpulent neck, and not upon the dejected shoulders of the rest of the populace. In a word, Mr. Griffin, ,you have been getting away with pushing people around for too long, and it is, therefore, time that your incompetence and anti-democratic arrogance be thoroughly exposed and categorically condemned. To be blunt, you and your policies are a disgrace not only to the City of Buffalo, but also to the democractic heritage which is the backbone of our country’s historic greatness and vitality. — - 519 HKU Ihiviil Slirr �t ----- — . nMHMH m V- Now comes Miller time. ©1978 MWer Brewing Co..

Threepenny Opera' Brecht play opens Theatre Research season itilh'" by Ralph Allen It is unlikely that Buffalo will become like the Berlin of 1928, a city aroused with Threepenny Opera fever after its debut. However, with the Center for Theater Research's premier production of Bertold Brecht’s The Threepenny Opera, it becomes possible. This production, a keystone of modem theater, revolves around the way a society deals with the byproducts of its conspicuous wealth and its conspicuous poor. In a protracted battle between Peachum, a vendor of beggars' licences and Macheath, a prince of the underworld, respectable society flows as a netherworld. Macheath takes what Peachum feels is not for him to take Peachum's daughter, Polly. But peachum’s vendetta is not to avenge the honor of his daughter; his actions uphold the sanctity of himself. It’s just as Macheath, or as he is better known, Mack the Knife, marries for the same reasons he steals, to keep the aura of charmed isolation aliv.e. Everyone reconciles his action according t6 the gospel of survival, and if someone gets hurt, well, it would have been "me” otherwise. When Macheath’s bluff is' called by a close prostitute friend, |enny, and he faces the gallows, she visits him but there is no enmity between them. The message is clear ■* sentiment is fatal in the business of getting — along. The cast, united under Ray Leslce’s direction of Kurt Weill’s score, completes that aura of uniqueness in theater. With full orchestration, the demanding and sometimes acrobatic score figures prominently in the production. Peachum, protrayed by James McGuire, commands the space of the stage well. Skitting around his shop, herding his troupe of beggars, his actions emphasize the immediacy of the stage. Max Bommer, Peter Vogue and Esther Swartz compliment 1 McGuire as society’s professional cripples, evoking the mix of piety and .revulsion that is a beggar’s revenue. Peachum’s antagonist, Mack, is played with the elan of underworld nobility by Ted Krycko. Like Peachum he has his retinue of lackeys a gang of criminals whom for the most part did not develop beyond caricatures but provided the proper background to Macheath’s actions. David Lamb’s portrayal of Mack’s childhood friend, the police commissioner Tiger Brown was fell effective. As Finch, Gerry Ringwald fleshed out the comic in the character. With all of the positive energy going into this production, its faults seem to appear more blatant — Battle of the sexes 'Funny, you don’t look like Lotte Lenya' 1 Bfcht's 'Thnwpenny Opra Doing the Underworld Watlz than they actually may be. The end of Act two lacks the snap to keep us vitally engaged and the Weil score cuts the margin of error to year zero. As a crack exercise in the modern theater, Threepenny Opera is demanding, both of the audience and the cast. However, the burden of proof lies>vith the cast. Erratic pacing as found in the second and third acts quiokly sap the audience’s willingness to pursue the theatrical ends and even the slightest vagueries in characterizations as in Lorna Hill’s )enny, threaten to remove us from any commitment to the action. It becomes loo easy to lapse from the audience to bystander status. Despite the shortcomings of production, the magic of the lavish theater production is astounding. Theater is for artists willing to take a chance every night, and like a high jumper in corrpetition, the artist tries for a record every time. The determinant of whether or not he makes it is the height of the bar. Threepenny Opera is a very high bar to hurdle and for the most part, pulls itself over. But almost rarely counts^ Jazz across the border: From Toronto to by Michael F. Hopkins It began Halloween Night, this time of Spirits. Queen Exizabeth Hall, CNE grounds (a vast terrain!), yielded the auspices of the many ages of Great Black Music. Rising from rich earth, mean streets and magic sky came Anthony Braxton and The Art Ensemble Of Chicago to deliver the whisper and timeless shout of lyrical Love into all hearts. Throughout the Hall could be heard the sound of the blood pumping fiery fluidity through our veins. We flow. Braxton. Solo performance on alto saxophone commands the awesome brilliance of Miriam Makeba’s Xhosa chant curving its own straight and searching way. He is best seen as himself (who he is), and yet it is interesting (as in entertaining) to look at the places he has touched upon. One tune he played first invoked an Oriental lullaby,'upon which built one of the most eloquent employments of the horn’s vibrato since Johnny Hodges left us not that long ago... a beautifully sentimental shine (Please, Anthony record this!). His tonal clarity and expression in virtually all the ranges of the alto marked this soliloquy with high, distinctive feeling. Next, the added silence of an ensemble Music. The scent of the musicians’ ceremonial face paint drifted to center stage almost as boldly salient as the people whose faces reflect the'urge to paint in tone poem of spectrum Black (No pun intended). Roscoe - Buffalo Mitchell, Joseph Jarman, Lester Bowie, Malachi Favors, Famoudou Don Moye. The Art Ensemble Of Chicago swept us into an epic panorama 6f living harmony, from African austerity to New Orleans stomp, Kansas City romp, Miles breezin’ cool, screams and hush of freedom opening song, and backing it all upfront were 5 men making us together through the magic of a total Music. GBM produced this concert, and the Black Arts brought us directive. The Saints were hallowed, all, this night Sunrise at Sundown Next came the Buff State Loves jazz festival to open November. I must say that it was quite opening, indeed. Despite limited representation of local Jazz (no blame, just fact), and an overproduced performance by-Mark Murphy on Saturday night, the fest was a very fine affair, one that will expand even more in excellence with the yearly ritual of allotted Time.

I’d like to think it is because of the writing. Judging from recent letters to the Editor concerning the Sun, I’m right. Unfortunately, the opinions expressed have not been too encouraging. They, and opinions expressed elsewhere, dwell on the ’’negativity’* of Prodigal Sun. The term implies a lack of positive features. If this is truly the tone of the Sun, then somewhere along the way this semester, those of us involved with its content have lost sight of our objective. Yet, do not believe we have.

The meeting of Shorter’s spin-dancing romanticism and Nascimento’s flowing folk directives not only produced a rare magic (even for these two), but it revived a existing amongst Pan-American and varied musical forms along before the Pozo-Gillespie fire of Afro-Cuban jazz. That bond is full of bold color and powerful beat unafraid of invoking , people's dance. In 1978, there is this pair of Brazilian wizards who create some of the most daring musical invitations of all. Egberto Gismonti is a self-taught guitarist who draws, from the 8 string model, the vividness of the harp combined with the sharpness of the messenger’s drum. On piano, Gismonti can command the raw melodic shine shared by such as Villa-Lobos himself, while his flutes and other instruments call awareness whistling through the air. Nana Vasconcelos is a percussionist who can rattle your soul-awake with the broad smile of sudden, shifting beat. Together, they created Danca Das Cabecas (Gismonti’s 1st ECM Ip), which won the 1978 German Grammy as the best record in popular music. Step into the bright day.

Sleight of hand is achieved through a subtlety of the hand. Richard Attenborough, director of the film Magic, is no nimble magician. He shoots his film as if the camera were a blunderbluss. He doesn’t do anything particularly wrong. He isn’t guilty of the pretensions of directors like Karel Reisz nor is he an incompetent. He knows what he is doing. He just doesn’t do it particularly well. Like a keyboard, film is composed of many elements which the director “plays.” The difference between Attenborough and directors like Robert Altman or Michaelangelo Antonioni is the difference between a player piano and Vladmir Horowitz. Both can play a tune. What’s lacking in the player piano and in Attenborough is magic, that ineffable vision which fertilizes technical acuity. intriguing has an Magic premise. A ventriloquist’s schizophrenia manifests itself by dividing the two halves of his personality between him and his dummy. The dummy acquires a voice and will of its own with which it torments its owner. This idea is interesting cinematically because it allows for the visual expression of schizophrenia and for the visual evocation of the struggle between the two halves. A climactic exhibition But Magic is based on a novel written by William Goldman (who also wrote the screenplay). Since a novel can easily express a character’s internal state, one wonders what is the reason for using the ventriloquist-dummy device. If the book is at all isomorphic with the film, the only conclusion is that this twist rather than the torment of the ventriloquist Corky is Goldman’s concern. Magic makes two major mistakes in relating to Corky’s schizophrenia. First is the dummy itself. Fats is, even from the feeginning, decidedly malignant His evil is too prlma facie. His features are a bit gargoylish and his comments appear to be more than just good-natured jibing. I kept wondering why no one else could see Fats’ malice. The film’s major twist is more like an easy bend and it comes to us, not as a shock, but as a fulfilled “His career is an honor to music and to the king of instruments, the violin.’* -New York Timet Tickett $9.00, 8.06, 7.00, 6.00 Charge Cards Accepted Tickets may be purchased at QRS Arts Foundation. 1026 Niagara St. Box Ofc.

CANADIAN BRASS, FESTIVAL OF DANCE. BEVERLY SILLS Retervationt A Information (716) 885 4600 with an acid tongue This magic-spell was cast by slight of hand of manipulated expectation. The film’s second error is in having Fats perform a bloody couplet of murders. Since Fats could not commit these crimes without Corky’s hand pulling the levers, Corky is immediately implicated in a social, moral and legal predicament. Corky’s penance becomes external rather than internal. Instead of Corky’s torments being private, Goldman opts for a climactic exhibition. Corky’s death at the end of the film is not the pitiable demise of an isolated innocent; it is the denouement of a bloody psychotic murderer. In place of an unsettling vision of • mental dissolution, we have the same old murder flick given a feeble new twist. Magic lacks particularity. It achieves its effects with broad gestures recognizable a mile away. Burgess Meredith plays Gangrene, Corky’s agent. Gangrene is so typical, he’s bizarre. His slock Hollywood-Jewish jargon and fat one-dollar cigars cast a depiction of an agent that is only revived for comic purposes that is until William Goldman came along. This wouldn't bother me so much except that it’s such a shameful waste of Burgess Meredith. Ann Margaret plays Peggy Anne Snow, a high school chum of Corky’s. After fifteen years, they fall in love with each other. There seems to be little point to this affair except for its titillating possibilities. It seems unnecessary to have Corky fall in love in order to make his death tragic. If Corky is a sympathetic character, that should suffice. Anthony Hopkins does manage to make Corky sympathetic. Hopkins’ acting is reminiscent of Richard Burton, except for the latter's baroqueness. Like Burton, Hopkins invests even the worst lines with searing, emotional energy, miking them sound good. Anthony Hopkins is an actor who takes his roles to heart and his sincerity makes him irresisttible. Ann-Margaret on the other hand is a cold fish who was best left awash in Ken Russell’s baked beans (in Tommy). The woman has no talent, her portrals indistinguishable with each film. She is totally ingenujne, her lines dropping from her pouty lips like dead toads. Peggy Anne is married to Duke (Ed Lauter), an ugly man of extreme vulgarity.

Magic is a good example of how a director needs more than technical skills to make a good Attenborough Richard film. knows what to do, he just doesn’t know" why he’s doing it.

The funniest show on the air just isn’t funny any more. Granted, there remain flashes of that old innovative wit but these are like the flickerings of marsh gas over a fetid and feculent swamp. When it first appeared in 1975, Saturday Night Live was fresh and living, garnering the well-deserved praise of both critics and audiences. The show broke new ground, championing a type of comedy I call ia comedie de mat gout and priming the public for comic superstars like Steve Martin and Chevy Chase. In 1978, the show is a prototypical example of the staleness that is infecting both Martin and Chase. Saturday Night Live is tired, and just as the yawns of one person incite yawns in others, so the fatigue of Saturday Night Live is spreading throughout the world of "new” comedy. A brief look at each of the Not Ready For Prime Time Players will crisply define this fatigue. Dan Akroyd is one of the major writing influences behind the show and therefore, bears a great responsibility for the show’s decline. His Jimmy Carter and Tom Snyder routines were played out long ago and his endless parodies of old TV shows (like "Danger Probe”) are reiterative and boring. John Belushi has made a lucrative career out of being a slob. Of all the NRFPT Players, he is the least targeted, the least controlled. Unlike Chase, who can really zero in on a topic, John Belushi just plants himself on the stage and croaks like a toad. His old Samurai bits and frothing news editorials were good because they played off his inarticulateness. But inarticulateness and a raw lack of finesse have only so many possibilities and Belushi has long since exhausted his. His role in Animal House epitomized that movie's tastelessness and his part in Going South was a liability to an otherwise excellent film. Belushi’s popularity is one of compliant commiseration: his unshaven, corpulent lack of genuine talent is a glorification of this age of slobs. Jane Curtin's strident voice and stiff demeanor make her the least convincing performer in the troupe. This wouldn’t be so bad except that since Chevy Chase's departure, she’s been soloing bn “Weekend Update." She has not only blunted that feature but damages the show as a whole in that a block of every program is devoted to it. My feeling is that Curtin just tries too hard; the job doesn’t come naturally to her. Garrett Morris is on infrequently, which is a shame as he has a subtle, under-the-table humor which could help offset the show’s garishness. But he's only called upon for black caricatures and his tired impersonation of Anwar Sadat. Much the same can be said of Laraine Newman who is only exploited for that frazzled, hip paranoia she so skillfully portrays. Bill Murray along with Gilda Radner form the last pocket of dependable humor in the show. Radner has progressed through a series of characters beginning with Miss Emily Littela and including Baba Wawa and Roseanne Roseannadanna. Akroyd does impersonations but Radner does characters much the way Lily Tomlin docs. And Akroyd clings to his impersonations but Radner knows when to retire one of her creations. Murray comes closest to Chase in his versatility and control. His talent ties in his ability to satirize character traits without camp or bloated Belushisms. And with Radner, he makes the Lubners an enduring running gag. But alt of this is not to say that the NRFPT Players are without talent (with the possible exception of Belushi). Their recent special, What I Did This Summer, proved otherwise (except for Akroyd’s and Belushi's self-indulgent Blues Brothers crapola). What often happens when you get to the top is that you realize that you don’t have to sweat so much to get results. You can lean on your reputation. This has happened to Saturday Night Live. The strains of coming up with original material for a ninety-minute live comedy show each week must be enormous. It is no wonder that the NRFPT Players and writers slacked off when they could. Thus, Saturday Night Live has been reduced to a series of popular signatures and success formulas. The rotating guest host can help to alleviate this but most of the guest hosts are obviously ill-equipped to deal with a live comedy show and those who can are used too often (like Steve Martin). Still, someone like Monty Python’s Michael Palin could really shore up Saturday Night Live's flagging energies, as he did last season. Feature presentations such as “the Mr. Bill Show,” "The Franken and Davis Show," and films by Gary Weiss do help break the tedium but they are also subject to the same forces as Saturday Night and become as tedious. Weekly rock bands may make the show more interesting but they have no impact on the show’s comic quality. Still, I don’t wish to give the impression that this column is a put-down ofSaturday Night Live. I have an abiding respect and trust in the talents of its writers and performers. Hell, I watch the show almost every week. But I cannot ignore its protracted decline. Rather, this i$,a lament, a lament that could very well turn into a dirge. Next week: TV commercials and formalism. * Art for everyone AC Gallery hosts 84th annual USA Members' Exhibition by David MacLeod If there is any style of art that interests you, then visit the AC Gallery at 30 Essex Street There is something there for everyone at the current Eighty-Fourth Annual of Artists Society Buffalo Members’ Exhibition running through November 26. The gallery is filled with paintings, drawings, prints and photographs from a great many artists. Abstract to realism, conceptual to objective, with techniques from air brusn to palette knife, colored pencil to painted cardboard; this exhibit displays the many things that are going on in the art world today. It would be impossible to mention every piece by every artist so following are some of the many outstanding works that give some idea of the diversity of the show. First, drawn into the entanglement of flesh and bone both animal and human, one finds oneself spending a great deal of time peering into “Symposium" by Frances Crohn. She writes that she never stopped doodling and, true to her words, this is a doodle that "never stops" except to contrast the ever entwining colored pencil lines with outer negative space. If you’ve ever visited the art library when it was out at the Ellicott Complex, you might remember the large grey paintings Crohn showed there. “Passage" by Helen G. Fried is an interesting interplay of a pure white background (which at one area becomes foreground) with the suggestion of painted blue figures. The white background is divided into geometric planes by two perpendicular lines running diagonally across the picture plane and spatially defined by the distorted human figures. The figures are spread on with a palette knife in different levels of transparency to successfully define human form and features. Stenciled numerals complete the compositional space and give the painting greater conceptual depth. A color photograph from inside the window of a Chinese restaurant affords a beautiful composition in reds and blues entitled “Pekin Duck” by Bernice L. Marschall. Repetition of red forms balanced by red calligraphy are set against the blue scenes outside the hazy restaurant window, achieving a misty, rainy mood. Drawings of photographs over drawings of objects over drawings of drawings is what makes up "Front" by Charles N. Houseman. This is a marvelous “collage" of subject matter drawn in an aary changing light. Sheet music and bow ties make up one field and a woman’s breasts appear from beneath a drawing of tandem radiators "placed" over a portion of the drawing. This is again supplemented by more sheet music, tying it in with the other field, and with several drawings of small photographs of male dancers and firemen. This excellent work is accompanied by a print entitled “Wailing Wall,” which looks to be someone peering from a train window. “Tpuch of Earth” by Dorothy Sides is a powerful painting of sweeping, dynamic gesture and color contrast. Two large "organic” shapes in red and red-orange stretch and fold across a backdrop of large sketchy geometric shapes in grey-greens into black. Another powerful painting is "Hunter” by Joan Fitzgerald. This large ominous figure, looking more like "Warrior” than anything else, has a noticeably “Baconesque” quality about the gesture of lines and deformed figure. On the other hand, the colors are more subdued and the form more geometric. Bits of cutout “collage” material serve to add dimension to an already ' strong piece. There is so much more and so little space to print it that I must apologize to Ruth Skokoff, Shirley Kassman and the many others whose works could not be mentioned. To the public, I say, take the time and see this exhibit. It’s not hard to find and worth the visit. The AC Gallery is open 1—4:30pm, Wednesday from through Sunday.

The Sun rose and Buffalo got down with one of Ra’s most wonaerous performances (as always!). As the Arkestra assembled, not only member by member, but instrument by instrument (including the fastest percussion setup I have ever seen!), we were witness to something akin to old theater: the virtuosity of one or a few performers swept one so away that the assembling of a stage scene went virtually unnoticed.

Health Insurance Administrator til ecu Reichman reported approximately 10 complaints since the decision to reinstate abortion coverage was instituted this year. “After the media forgot about it." said Reichman, we received less complaints." She noted some people called her office saying how ridiculous all the complaining was, and voicing their worry over the possible removal of the clause.” According to Reichman, the two Sub Board members on the President’s Advisory Committee on Insurance Executive Director Dennis Black and Vice-Presidnet Jane Baum pushed for the coverage of abortion on this year’s insurance policy. “People on Sub Board pushed abortion because they felt constituents wanted it,” said Reichman. About a dozen people have taken advantage of the new clause thus far said Reichman. Baum reports receiving only a couple of complaints” concerning the new abortion coverage. Baum believes, “people that were upset about it are still upset about it, but it’s just not getting the same media coverage.’ Petitions both pro and anti abortion are presently circulating within this University. Baum noted that these petitions will be discussed at this month’s Sub Board meeting. Sexuality Education Center Director Ellen Christensen described the abortion coverage in the Student Health Insurance Plan as “a very touchy subject.” She said, “We’ve tried to slay out of the political controversy.!’ Christensen does not believe the coverage is being abused. “It’s not being used as a method of’birth control,” sire remarked, “but women we’ve seen are very relieved to find abortion is covered.” Maternity benefits are also coVered by the Insurance Plan and Christensen pointed out that “people are unaware of this.” One alternative to abortion is giving birth and getting counseling through the Unwed Mothers Group which meets once a week on campus mentioned Christensen. “Having an abortion is not an easy decision for a woman to make,” she said, “and not something taken lightly by the women we see.” insurance _ r KNOW YOURSELFBeginning November 14th & 15 BE WHOLE ENTERPRISES will be sponsoring two-six week courses.

One History professor remarked, “Pm shocked Butler didn't send it back.” Former Provost Butler, who is currently in Africa, could not be reached for comment, but Associate Provost of Social Sciences John Lane wondered why it took the History faculty three years to discover what Yearley had included in his annual reports. Although the reports were always available and open to scrutiny, apparently none of History facility chose to examine the usually mundane annual report until May, 1978. Lane claimed he did not pay much attention to Yearley’s personnel comments upon receipt of the report, “because nobody paid much attention to it.” He said, “It was extraneous information that would not be I just looked at the hard data in every annual put to any use. report.” Pointing to the overwhelming amount of paperwork that frequently drowns an administrator. Lane said, “Out of self-protection, one must ignore the extraneous material.” Lane, acknowledging that annual report, said that explicit requirements for what annual reports should say do not include personnel comments. “It ought to answer the questions that were asked," Lane asserted. Gratifying solution He said he understood the History Department's fears, but found them unjustified. “Both in teems of what happened when it was public, and once the fears were expressed*” Lane said, “the President gave the assurance that no damage could result.” Lane, terming the whole affair “unfortunate;” echoed the feeling of many of his colleagues saying, “It was gratifying that people were able and willing to openly work out a solution to the problem. No one suffered damage to their careers or reputations.” Bunn, who read the report in August 1977, termed an annual report the chairman’s assessment of the condition of a department. ‘‘It did not strike me as necessarily inappropriate,” Bunn said. “It probably was presented with language that was unnecessary. I assumed the Chairman (Yearley) was trying to report on his perceptions of the strengths and weaknesses of his Department. The Department voted its gratification to Yearley for his contributions as chairman. Lane commented, “Yearley was one of the strongest and most effective chairmen that I have from PM* l- considered the controversial material in Yearley’s report as “inappropriate, because an annua) report is not where you seek information regarding personnel evaluations.” Refuting a charge by one University administrator that Ketter was humored by Yearley’s comments, Ketter related, “I have been humored by Yearley’s comments for a number of years. He has a writing style that I find humorous. He’s pretty good with the pen.” Ketter, who said he did not consider asking Yearley to re-write the report when he initially read it, said that the matter was brought up in June, 1978 at a monthly labor-management meeting with Faculty Union Executive Committee officers. Ketter noted, “Annual reports were never used as personnel evaluations. Since the issue was being discussed within the History Department and Social Sciences, it was kept settled.” Allen raised the currently debated issue of evaluations, expressing concern over what information belongs in an informal review by an administrative superior. He noted, “On one hand, you can’t defend informal evaluation judgements. On the other hand, who is going to see these evaluations?” known in the defense of departmental interests.” Under Yearley’s reign, the History Department became a fully tenured department, with the addition of four faculty members "at a time when the University was in the midst of retrenchment,” one source told The Spectrum. General consensus among Back to business The storm has since quieted History faculty and University administrators is that the issue and no legal action or union grievances are pending, according to sources ih the History was handled with “expediency and with a quick, logical, positive and humane response,” according to Michaels. One faculty member remarked, “Since July, the Department seems like a much more relaxed and business-like place.” Editor 'i note: Evaluations by administrative superiors of faculty members is an ongoing process that occurs in both formal and informal arenas at this University. The controversial annual report written by former History Chairman Clifton K. Yearley in May, 1977 created an outbreak of protest from History faculty. Yearley was informed of the nature and direction of this story, hut declined all comment. Ketter explains Archives sealing of History Dept evaluations Editor's note: The following is the text of a letter sent by University President Robert I,. Ketter to History Department faculty members explaining his decision to seal former Chairman Clifton Yearley’s evaluations of faculty members in the University Archives. there.” Settled issue Professor Allen, who is President-elect of the faculty union the United University explained Professions (UUP) that in the June meeting with Ketter, Union officials said they considered Yearley’s report, and the Administration’s acceptance of it, a violation of the union contract. Allen said, “Personnel evaluations are made on certain terms.” He noted they are available for review, placed in a The Annual Reports of the Department of History for the years 1974/75, 1975/76 and 1976/77 contained evaluative sections on individual faculty members which might be confused with legitimate personnel evaluations. This letter is to confirm that such materials have not been and will not be treated as. and do not constitute, a legitimate personnel evaluation for any purpose, and the University will not initiate any steps to have them placed in any individual personnel files. The Reports contained numerous ad hominem judgements concerning the personality and behavior of individuals in the History Department, and they included repeated inaccurate and gratuitous characterizations which could be potentially damaging. Accordingly, the President, the Vice President for Academic Affairs, and the Dean of the Social Sciences Faculty accept and endorse the History Department’s repudiation of these Annual Reports in their original form. A revised version, containing only the departmental information and evaluations appropriate to an Annual Report, has been substituted in the relevant files. One copy of the original Reports - person's file, then subject to repudiation in a formal hearing. Allen claimed the Union viewed document as '‘an informal evaluation by an administrative superior.” Allen maintained that the extent of the Union’s involvement was limited to its meeting last Spring with Ketter. He said, “The committee was formed to work Yearley’a out a joint statement of repudiation and Dr. Ketter directed people to stick to statistical data in their annual reports. Except for individual personal .action, the issue was has been deposited in the University Archives, with a restriction on access that will prevent the use of these materials in any personnel actions, or in any other manner likely to be detrimental to the individual affected. This University is committed to personnel review procedures which are specified in the Policies of the Board of Trustees and’in the contract between SUNY and UUP. They look to evaluation limited to appropriate areas of professional performance, excluding personality and political judgements. They seek to prevent the play of individual prejudice and malice, and to avoid unsupported subjective judgements. Individuals are guaranteed the right to be notified of such evaluations, to examine them, and to respond to them. V The University regrets any damage or embarrassment which may have been caused you during the time these Reports were in the open public record. It is our understanding that some members the History Department have contemplated libel actions and/or union grievance actions, as a means of protecting their personal and professional reputations. We trust that this letter and other actions taken by the History Department and University officers obviate the felt need for such actions. Sincerely yours. Robert L. Ketter President .I***************************** - GOING OUT OF BUSINESS department.” Defending his approval of the sensitive document Bunn remarked, “I did not presume any of these assessments would be used in the formal evaluation of faculty that we periodically conduct in tenure and discretionary salary areas.” Reaffirming Lane’s question to what extent should the report from a departmental chairman be subject to censor by a University^ administrator Bunn said, “1 have not presumed it is my responsibility to edit or censor or suggest proper language to chairmen in submitting their reports.” — The University Bookstores — i*retty good with the pen’ The report was forwarded to University President Robert L. Ketter in mid-July, 1977. Ketter, who read the full copy of Yearley’s annual report, claimed he usually extracts the statistical information so he can prepare his annual report that is sent to the SUNY Board of Trustees and to the University Council. Ketter told The Spectrum that he reads the reports for particular information that he needs, although many departmental annual reports are not limited to statistical data. Ketter said, “Cliff Yearley writes more in his reports than many chairmen do. He puts in what he feels is important, in addition to what I requested."

They are inv61ved in the very important research of Biology Department Professor James Sidie whose work deals with neuralethology. “Ethology” is the biological of study animal behavior - studies the neuralethology nervous system’s effect on 'an organism’s behavigr. Karl von Firsh founded the field of ethology 30 years ago, and in 1973, he and two associates won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their work. Ethology differs from psychological traditional paradigms. Subjects are studied “in the field” in their natural habitat, not under controlled laboratory conditions. In addition, ethologists question the evolution of behavior and its function: the “genetics” of behavior. Ultimately, ethology compares the aspects of behavior in different species in an effort to „ define - general principles that apply to all species. Beginning his third year of work at UB, Sidie is trying to discover how the nervous system controls behavior at the cellular level. Although interested in invertebrate animals, Sidie’s research deals exclusively with honeybees, which were chosen because of the complex social behaviors exhibited by - these animals. Bees also show forms of learning that parallel that shown by white rats, such as classical and instrumental conditioning, Sidie Denoting the bees In an attempt to answer this question, Sidie has trained foraging bees to fly to feeding stations at known distances from / the hives, which are located at Hochstetter Hall. Jars of concentrated sucrose, which is the same type of substance found in flower nectar, are used to attract bees to distances from 50 to 500 meters from the hive. In order to identify the experimental bees, a special shellac-based paint is applied to their backs. The paint causes no harm to the insects, nor does it interfere with their ability to fly. Upon returning from the feeding stations, the bees are observed in the hive as they perform the waggle dance, which - - January as a “vigorous effort against smoking to protect the rights of the non-smoking majority.” He announced that he wds banning smoking in certain is accompanied by a humming HEW locations and was recommending that other government agencies similarly comply.

The existing hypothesis claims that bees measure distance by a “metabolic odometer,” whereby they measure distance as a function of the amount of energy needed to fly there. Alas, but after two years of research, there is no evidence to support this Counter-weight press conference, Califano that of $20 million for research into the causes and effects of the cigarette habit. However, this allocation of funds ranks insignificantly low when compared with the hundreds of millions of dollars spent researching other habits and diseases and by virtue of the fact that the tobacco industry poured more than $20 million into California to thwart Proposition 5 ban theory. At Sidie is now working on the hypothesis that the distance to the feeding station is coded as a function of the time the bee makes the sound.

Why did Califano ask only for $30 million dollars to counter “the nation’s primary cause of death,” ehen $250 million had been available for a nonexistent disease like swine flu? Still others have pointed out that Califano owned a hefty chunk of Phillip Morris (one of the largest tobacco producing companies) stock during the time of his confirmation as Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. Many Congressmen have questioned Califano’s committment to an anti-smoking campaign, citing a half-hearted attempt while the American public is left pondering whether such a campaign will seemingly go up in smoke. ■i ™ tm mm COUPON LIP OFF OUR SPAGHETTI 8 - not valid on takeouts) | The Miner it open tor lunch, dinner & late nite snacks 7 days a *eek with the Mine Bar open downstairs till 3 am. — Jk * You must stake your claim with this coupon Each coupon good for 2 people only.

Buffalo led 14-10 in the third and fourth game. Sue Trabert had just scored on two spikes, but her would-be game winner landed about a foot out of bounds, returning tjhe serve to Fredonia. They scored twice before Royal Judy Barday’s block brought the serve back to Buffalo. The Royals failed to score, and then the Blue Devils scored four straight points, the last two coming on sloppy backcourt play by UB. “We don’t play well in the clutch,” lamented Buffalo coach Peter Weinreich. Thus, Buffalo finished its regular season with a 14-27 record, but the Royals may have one more chance to beat Fredonia, since both teams will be competing today and tomorrow at the New York State Championships in Cortland. The Buffalo-Fredonia rivalry has produced some exciting volleyball matches over the last few years. Two years ago, Fredonia beat the Royals twice in the regular season, but Buffalo had the last laugh, defeating the Blue Devils in the consolation finals of the New York State Championships. Last year, Fredonia won twice! This year, the record has been the same as last, with Fredonia’s first win coming last Saturday in the fihals of the District Tournament. “Wd always want to beat Fredonia,” said Buffalo co-captain Akemi Tsuji. “But they always want to beat us, too. Saturday, we were so happy about making the State Championships that we didn't care about Fredonia. Tonight we were psyched for them.” The Royals knew that if they were going to beat Fredonia, Tuesday would be the night to do it. Buffalo opened the evening by defeating Mainsfield 15-10, 15-9, and then Mansfield very nearly defeated Fredonia, tying the third game at 13-all. The Blue Devils prevailed arch-enemy 10-15, 15-5, 15-13. Wouldn't drop It took the Royals one game to adjust to the taller Fredonia team. One play, which turned Royals’ spiker Wanda Mesmer into a terror against Mansfield, had to be scrapped when Frednoia stationed their tallest player, Trudy Krause, in the middle. The rest of Buffalo's spikers also had trouble getting their shots to drop in the first game. did manage to correct some, of the deficiencies However, which had cost them Saturday’s match against Fredonia. “The serves were getting in more consistently,” said Weinreich. "Our serve reception was improved.” Buffalo’s spikers found the range in the second game, as the Royals scored five straight points to break a 5-5 tie. Buffalo went on to take the second game. The third game seesawed. Buffalo took an 8-5 lead, but Fredonia, with Peg Santoro serving, took the lead 9-8. Buffalo tied the game afid then a block by Krause put Fredonia back on top. Buffalo scored when Fredonia’s Gail Hunter touched the net. A well-placed shot by Tsuji, an illegal hit by Fredonia and the two spikes by Trabert made it 14-10, but the Royals couldn’t score again. “We have more hitters and better blockers,’’ summarized Weinreich. “Their backcourt played a little better than ours. That was the difference.” Throughout the night, Weinreich used his freshmen reserves, Sheri Loessl, Maureen Strick and Diane Nelson, something he hadn’t done earlier in the year. He explained his use of the freshmen in such a close game, saying, “I think I used the freshmen where they play best. They’ve developed their skills to the point where I have confidence in them.” He also noted that freshman setter Lori Hansen had improved tremendously throughout the year. Weinreich felt that the Royals will have to improve their serve reception and ball handling before facing the state’s top teams today and tomorrow, "but he anticipated that Buffalo will be “respectable” at the State Championships. Now, if only they had beaten Fredonia . . Staff Writer At 'the crack of the starter’s gun at 11 a.m. on Saturday, UB women’s swim team will be off and swimming through a 13-meet season. Only six returnees from last year’s squad will be mounting the blocks, while 29 other women will - be taking “Ready, Set” positions for the first time at the collegiate level. Senior co-captain Kim Adrews is rejoined this season by Beth Prescott (Most Improved of 1977), Eileen Wood (Most Valuable of ’77) and three other returning letter winners, Deenie Lambie, Mary Jo Cloutier, and Kathy Brown. They formed not only the team’s nucleus last year but almost the entire team. The 1977 squad ended the season with only ten members, a weakness that reflected in their 3-10 record. But this season, things are definitely looking better. And bigger. With a 35 member team, having enough swimmers to fill the line-up will not be the crucial problem it was last year. The new Richmond Quad 636-5472 - Box E577 imencan choice with each reservation made! Ft. Lauderdale awaits The only weakness of the team may be in a shortage of backstrokers. Andrews was the strongest backstroker last year but the coach would like to see her swim the butterfly stroke this Noakes is definitely looking to rookie Barb Goyette to fill one of the backstroking spots, but is undecided on who will fill the other slots. Shunning the snow of Buffalo for the sunny skies of Florida will provide, the team with their season’s highlight. Over winter break, the team plan£ to travel to Ft. Lauderdale to train at The Hall of Fame with other college and high schools teams. The women have raised money for their travels so far with a Swim-a-Thon and have more fund raising ideas in the works. The team will also be heading north to Waterloo, Canada in January for an international invitational meet. After two months of watching the team train steadily this season, Noakes said that the future looks very bright for UB's women’s swim team. “This season looks to be the beginning of a successful rebuilding of the team.” Co-captain Andres agreed, season explaining, “There is a tremendous improvement in the skill, size, and enthusiasm of this year’s squad over last year’s team. This new quantity and quality should really produce a great season.” Andrews hopes to begin that great season at home on Saturday against Potsdam State. She reasons, “Since we beat them last year, we should really destroy them this time around.” SOFT CONTACT LENSES • BAUSCH & LOMB $95°° A. O. SOFT HYDROCURVE • Price Includes: • * ' - .

Professional Fees Not Included �a t Season Hockey Bulls face off at Colgate U. tomorrow A sure fire offense, solid goaltending and suspect defense characterize the 1978-79 version of the hockey Bulls tomorrow night when they face off in the season opener at Colgate U. Bill Kaminska is slated by veteran coach Ed Wright as the number one man behind the mask. In the goal last year, the Kenmore junior compiled a nine win-nine loss record while allowing just over four goals per game. Wright will go with Kaminska at every feasible opportunity but in case he needs a back-up, junior, college transfer Tim Currey and last year’s back-up Dan Kowalchuk provide a fair amount of experience. The loss of Carl Koeppel will weaken the defensive corps until newcomers Pete Dombrowski and John Sucese establish themselves with substantial playing time. In the meantime, Rich McLean will have to handle a tremendous amount of responsibility. “Rich put on some extra weight, and should really be a lot stronger. Sucese and Dombrowski are extremely quick for big men and as a team should make a great pair of defensemen,” said Wright. With the addition of a talented fourth line on offense, the Bulls should be able to skate hard for the entire 60 minutes. At the wing is last year’s top returning scorer Tom Wilde. The Williamsville junior added 19 assists to his 16 goals for 35 points. Wilde will be complimented by team captain Ed Patterson, whose 31 points last winter was right behind Wilde. In addition to his scoring, Patterson has also been noted as a great team leader by Wright. Need balance Lost from last winter’s squad arc leading scorers, Frank Anzalone and Chris Bonn (both graduated). With the high scoring threats gone, Wright will depend on steady team play to pack the punch. “We have no outstanding forward and we must gel balance form all four lines; it must be a team effort,” noted Wriglil. One key to the Bulls stamina will be the dependability of last year’s freshman line of TomTgo, Don Osborn and Keith Sawyers. The Bulls will be playing virtually the same schedule • as last year when they compiled a 14-13 record. In addition to playing in 14 New York College Hockey Association games against SUNY rivals, UB will also clash with Union College twice, as well as participating in two tournaments. The toughest opponents according to Wright, are Plattsburgh and Elmira. SUNY schools he noted are always tough for the Bulls because UB is often the “team to beat.” Saturday’s match with Colgate is the Bulls only Division I game. The Bulls will play their first home game a week from tonight versus Plattsburgh at 7:30 p.pi. All home games are played in the Tonawanda Sports Center in North Tonawanda. -DavidDavidson more just Carrying a 3-5 record into their season finale against Alfred, the football Bulls are aiming to achieve moderate success by ending the year on a positive note Saturday afternoon. The Saxons, who are currently riding a four game winning streak might be the toughest opponent UB has encountered this year but provided Buffalo limits errors to a minimum, the game should be an interesting look into the future. After struggling during the early part of the season, the Bulls have demonstrated they have the tools in every facet of the game offensively to. beat anybody on their schedule. The passing game woke up last weekend in Connecticut as Jim Rodrigue/, broke all kinds of records in throwing for over 400 yards. His receivers, Frank Price and Gary Quatrani have put fear in the eyes of opposing defenders with dazzling running displays in the open field, eating up yardage with second and third efforts. Price has been a pleasant surprise to the Bulls offense. As a freshman last year in the short season* he led the team with 11 receptions, at the season’s outset he was not considered the threat he' has emerged to be. He hasn’t racked up the yardage of Quatrani, nor made the headlines. He has however blocked when he is not the primary fixture in the play, and though that does not show up in the stats, it is the reason the big plays cpme off. As a primary receiver. Price has caught the ball in a crowd, come back under the secondary when nobody was open and most of all he’s been in the spot he was supposed to be in. On the other end, Gary Quatrani has beat the bad hands rap game after game in totaling over 600 yards in pass yardage. He’s most importantly made the adjustment from being a sprinter to a football player. Instead of 1 —Krim RECORD HOLDER: Gary Quatrani's 10 recaptions for 191 yarda wrote him into the record books of UB football.

Quatrani now cuts back on the defense for the short gain. Once he has got the secondary drawn in close, he then burns away for the big gain. In eight games, Quatrani has„ “bad handed” at most three passes while making lunging finger-tip catches in the clutch. Next season he’ll be known as a “sure-handed” receiver.

Gary Felt/ at times has at complimented Gabryel fallback, but not consistently enough to pose any real challenge. The play of Rodrigue/ at quarterback for the most part has been superb. Plagued by early season interception problems, he’s learned to adjust and find secondary receivers. In many cases he’ll just unload the ball out of bounds instead of in the hands of the defense. He’s not afraid to put the ball .in the air, and is becoming UB’s best quarterback ever. Without the play of the offensive line, Rodrigue/. Price of anyone else would not be enjoying any measure of success. Anchored by die leadership of tackle Jim Vaux, the front men have pushed out or held back the opponent, giving 110 percent for 60 minutes. The young Bulls are no longer raw. They’ve passed that stage and must now account fot themselves as football players. What ever mistakes are made on Saturday are not the fault of immaturity. The fumbles are now a result of intense competition. No opponent takes on Buffalo as a joke.

The new frontier Abzug reminded the delegates that they are the future leaders of the nation; those who will set the course for the rest of the world. Today, Abzug contends, there is a “vacuum of leadership” which must be filled by responsible people who are not controlled by “forces with vested interests.” Peering over her economic low-slung Abzug asserted that a historical perspective is crucial if glasses, is to be wrested from powerful economic control these interests. Thus, she contended, a liberally-based general education is vital. “Without it, people don’t have an understanding of history or how to change it,” she said, striking a note of disappointment that the bulk of students are concerned solely with a career and remain politically inactive.

Without student support, she maintained, these movements campuses would have died. “Young people showed their parents that the people have a responsibility to change the course of government if it’s wrong,” she shouted, to vigorous applause. Applause, seemingly evoked by Abzug in order to underscore key phrases, spiced her -30-minute speech. Adorned in one of her Commentary by Harvey Shapiro tin^Bdtrbr Friday’s confrontation with Hugh Carey may not have changed the Governor’s mind, but it certainly struck at something in the Buffalo media. All three television stations and both local dailies spotlighted the protest with liberal amounts of time and space devoted to the event.

DeSantis while he thought the reporting was fairly accurate, Friday’s also pointed out the different protest and the protests of the types of issues involved. “The 60’s saw protests over national issues 60’s were in no way similar. “The reference to a shade of while Friday’s demonstration,was-, with education.” This drew a ovation from the delegates.

Still, some energy activists give the STTF and projects like it mixed reviews. “I find it offensive that a laboratory building plutonium triggers is also moving into solar," says of the Washington-based Richard Grossman Environmentalists for Full Employment. by Harvey Wasserman Pacific Newt Service The emphasis of large military-related corporations involved in government solar programs galls many researchers who fee! the best work has been done by small independents, particularly in areas such as New Mexico, where predominating sunshine makes the climate ideal for decentralized units. "It is distressing,” adds Albuquerque solar activist Dede Feldman, “to see them spending $21 million on that project when so many people with small units could use the money. It makes you wonder what they’re driving at.” At 10 m. on Oct. 27. ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Sandia Laboratories technician Debbie Riszold aimed a large array of mirrors toward the top of a massive 200-foot concrete tower in the midst of the New Mexico desert. The reflected solar rays struck a one megawatt prototype boiler built by the Boeing Co., and in so doing inaugurated a controversial government project designed to pave the way a - for large scale solar generation of electricity. Tower,” the the Widely dubbed “Power S21 -million-plus Solar Thermal Test Facility (STTF) represents a major foray by the Department of Energy (DOE) into the solar field. Under construction since July, 197 the huge gray monolith already has consumed more than 4,S00 cubic yards of concrete. At its core is an elevator weighing 100 tons, designed to lift that much 'again. 1 Outside, 222 movable heliostats each mounted with 25 movable mirrors have been undergoing more or less continuous testing. In May 1977, Sandia engineers aimed 71 heliostats (1,775 mirrors) at the tower’s 114-foot mark. The concentrated sunlight from the tower produced temperatures of more than 3,000 F., melting a two-foot by three-foot hole in a quarter-inch thick steel plate in less than two minutes. Last week’s less dramatic inauguration was designed to start proving that choreographed focusing of sunlight can indeed generate Heat and electricity. Testing of the one Mostly ambivalence Beyond the questions about the developers involved or the money, however, the Power Tower generally evokes a certain ambivalence among solar proponents. On the one hand, it is a centralized project; on the other, it isn’t an oil refinery or a nuclear plant. “To the extent that they keep the size down, there doesn’t seem to be much indication of enviromental damage,” says Dennis Hayes of the Worldwatch Institute and a moving force in the SunDay celebration. “But, economically. I’d bet on photovoltaics (solar cells).” Indeed, photovoltaic cells, which can convert sunlight directly into electricity, are considered by many solar experts to be both financially and politically preferable. Though a number of different techniques are under development, the cells can be made of simple silicon and involve lightweight mechanisms that can be established in a decentralized manner on rooftops throughout the country, even in cold climates and in a wide range of sizes. Ecologists such as Barry Commoner claim the cells can easily be made cheaper than nuclear systems and other solar proponents say they are more practical than centralized solar systems such as the New Mexico test , *'* ' ’ - — megawatt Boeing prototype i the sun is shining.” is being sponsored by the Electric Power Research Institute, a utilities consortium. These tests are scheduled to be followed in January by DOE-sponsored trial runs of a five megawatt McDonnell Douglas plant. Familiar corporate names However, the real question may not be whether this and similar projects work, but what they mean for the goverment and corporate role in the nation’s future power options. -> Sandia Laboratories is better known for its work in the nuclear field than for its ventures into solar energy. Its headquarters and test facilities including the 100-acre STTF sits are within the confines of Albuquerque’s huge Kirkland Air Force Base. The main office sits two blocks from the Air Force’s Atomic'Museum, where replicas of “Little Boy” and “Fat Man,” the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs, are mounted amidst nuclear memorabilia and v. scale-m.odel weaponry. Sandia is a private corporation, a subsidiary of Western Electric. As Bob Gatt, a company public relations man, explains it, Sandia manages STTF operations for the Department of Energy “without profit or fee.

Noah, vice president of Manufacturer’s and Trader’s Trust Company (M&T Bank). Noah wishes that charges of redlining in this city would just go away. “Maybe at one time, banks were in sort of an ivory tower and could get away with redlining,” he said, “But nowadays there’s no way they could get away with it or even want to; it’s just not sensible banking.” In particular, Noah refutes a report published by the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYP1RG) entitled Where Has All The Money Gone? as well as series of articles published by The Spec/rnm investigating' redlining in the city of Buffalo. “I suspect they, had conclusions formed and the report was just an attempt to justify the claim,” Noah said. In NYPIRG’s report, the amount of money deposited in particular banks by residents of certain areas was compared to the amount of money reinvested by the banks as mortgages in those same areas. The report concluded that more of the deposit money was being reinvested into the suburbs, an indication of redlining. The NYPIRG report alleged that the banks have redlined because they feel that these areas,are a “bad risk.” “We do not label any area a bad risk,” insisted Noah. He claimed that banks put more of their mortgage money into the suburbs because “there is no great demand for mortgages” in the city, since more people there have already paid off their mortgages over the years. “For whatever reasons, people like to move out to the suburbs,” Noah said. Credit scoring Noah informed that loan applications in the city are more often for home improvements and automobiles. Noah claimed that if public advocacy groups would include these other loans in their studies, the charge that banks are labeling communities prove baseless. Furthermore, Noah said that it would not be in M&T’s best interests to arbitrarily label areas since M&T.“does not make money by turning loans down.” Noah demonstrated to The Spectrum that M&T has a very precise method of evaluating loan applications known as “credit scoring.” Credit scoring is a means of figuring out what the odds are that any potential borrower will be able to pay back a loan, based on statistical information of past experience and information gained from the applicant during a brief interview by a bank loan officer. If necessary, a computer credit check is made on the applicant. Information on each individual applicant is then stored on microfilm. Noah insists that with all of the technology available there is no need for them to discriminate against certain groups of people; each person is treated as an individual case. Also, loan officers have no discretion when figuring out the odds on any particular applicant and are checked constantly. Noah stated that “it’s a very objective way” of evaluating loan requests. But Lawrence Fareber, one of the authors of NYPIRG’s report, has alleged that banks redline by discouraging minorities and o'ther groups from ever even filling out a loan application. Noah responds, “Show me the person who was denied a loan request. How can we answer a statement like that without being more specific?” Noah did admit that M&T’s use of credit scoring was the exception and not the rule among Western New York banks but he maintains that M&T has been so successful in the two and one-half years since it introduced credit scoring that other banks will also have to adopt it in order to compete. Noah conveyed that it was in the banks’ own interests to avoid redlining the city of Buffalo since it is the economic heart of the Niagara Frontier. “We cannot exist without the city,” he said. “Without the city, the suburbs are dead.” 10:45 UGL closes atUndergraduate The Library will continue to close at 10:4S p.m. Sunday through Thursday during the bus strike.

Moynihan, who accompained Hugh Carey on his election swing, had deemed the Governor gym “adequate and nice" before learning that the facility, built in 1938 and designed for 3,000 students, now services 24,000 students. Moynihan arrived at the Main for the Campus groundbreaking ceremonies of the Buffalo Light Rail Rapid Transit (LRRT) system an hour before Carey, the keynote speaker. The Senator cast an admiring eye at the traditional style of the UB Street campus as his student convoy detailed the inadequacies of the gym. Once inside the facilitity that has been harshly criticized by UB faculty and students, Moynihan glibly remarked, “When 1 was a student at CCNY, we had no gym.” Moynihan, who has yet to visit Campus, the Amherst was unwittingly cast by the governor as his proxy in a meeting he aimed at setting SUNY construction priorities.

It was during that period of profound unemployment and social neglect that the government began to make an influence on economic affairs as a means of stimulating demand and offering a sense of security through unemployment programs. “It took 20-30 years for the new role of government to have effect; the change from the child of the 1930’s with his insecurities to the secure child of the 1960’s,” Heilbronensaid. “A new psychology prevails in the system today. People no longer feel insecure. There are safeguards behind them of unemployment and welfare payments, so nowadays people ask for more and hold out for more,” Heilbroner claimed. As the best solution to this inflationary unrest, Heilbroner proposed a movement away from government intervention in an "A new psychology prevails in the system today. People no longer feel insecure. Robert L.

The celebrated economist) nationally known for his books and articles on political economy and contemporary trends in capitalism, spoke to an audience of 450 students, faculty and members of the community at Woldman Theater last Thursday. Robert Heilbroner rephrased the title of his speech on “Our Economic Future” to “What the Hell Is Going On Here Anyway?” According to Heilbroner, a plausible account of our economic times may be found by defining and tracing the origin of inflation; the essence of the economic crisis we face. economic affairs. Heilbroner predicted the foreshadowing of another economic problem; depletion of our once believed unlimited resources. With the rate of industrial growth continuing, a new crisis will arise within the next twenty-five years. If a crisis in fact occurs, there will be an increased need for government intervention as a regulator and distributor of resources and income. The economist said, “The rolling away of government is only a win in the short term battle on inflation and merely a retreat in the long term war on economic stabilization.” A concerned listener asked about the status of our capitalist society should a strengthening of government influence occur. Heilbroner replied that the basic characteristic of capitalism is the profit motive which would still remain present in our society. Heilbroner did not guarantee a definite course of action for the future. He offered his two suggestions according to what knowledge we have of the past and present.

According to Rose, “a salami-slicing procedure occurs as Staff Writer Confronted with rising student demand for its program, the Physical Therapy (PT) department Q has remained firm in its committment to limit the size of the department. The PT department accepts only 50 students out of 500 applicants each year, and those students must have at least a 3.2 grade point average (GPA), according to Chairman Steven Rose. Rose wants the department to maintain a one-to-one basis between teacher and student. He remarked, “The PT faculty is very dedicated to keeping a close relationship with students; a lot of UB professional schools using goals, not quotas in acceptance by Steven J. Sherman Spectrum Staff Writer Although the Bakke decision and its related cases Ijave sparked inquiry into minority enrollment in the University’s Professional schools, investigation Popularity rising Rose indicated that PT “has, had a lot of visibility over the pdsf few years” and that it is becoming more popular as a major for several reasons. “A job in Physical Therapy offers many things,” he remarked. “There’s a lot of mobility and good salary positions are usually aVailable.” Rose hinted that the small job market has also caused the department to limit its size. “It’s a question of how many PT majors we want to turn out. It’s all relative to the job market.” Protas disagreed, saying “There are plenty of opportunities for someone graduating with a B.S. in Physical Therapy. Someone out of college with a degree in PT, can usually get a good clinical position” she commented. Protas also noted that the high salaries other schools are offering faculty members is giving the PT department “trouble.” ‘They can get a lot more money than we’re offering,” she said. All applicants for the PT department are initially judged on theirl PA and then the candidates Don’t need . $ The department has not received a budget increase in the last ten years but according to Rose “we have not asked for one.” The continued, '“We’re always in need of more teachers and we keep asking for them.” students travel to SUNY each year.

Since that time, exchange programs for faculty members and graduate students have been added, making MGU exchange the SUNY program the most complete in the country, according to Director of International Studies Albert Michaels.

Director of the School of Medicines Admission Committee Harry Metcalf said, “Bakke has not affected us at all here. Harvard’s (Medical School) policies were pointed to as an example of what to do as far as the decision is concerned and that is the course of action that we’ve always taken.” Metcalf added “Our Admissions Committee has never Used any quotas but we do set goals and try to ascribe to the ideals of the Affirmative Action program.” The most detrimental effect of the highly publicized Supreme Court- case has been on the number of minority students applying to Professional schools, he said. “This decrease in minority applicants,” Metcalf explained, “combined with such factors as ineligibility due to incomplete files and interviewees that fail to show, substantially shrunk our candidate pool.” The results of this decline are quite obvious in the near 50 percent drop of Professor Elizabeth Protas also that the extensive clinical work required of PT students limits the department’s size. Each student must work in a hospital or rehabilitation center where spaces are limited. Most UB students perform their clinical work in the Buffalo area, although Protas noted that some are as far away as Denver, Colorado and Los Angeles, California. drop in minority applications which subsequently caused a smaller minority group within this year’s freshman class. Associate Dean of Law William Greiner commented that the 40 minority students in this year’s total enrollment of 740 is down from 5 or 6 years ago, but claimed the decrease has nothing to do with the Bakke decision. “Being an institution of law,” Greiner said, “I think it would’ve been pretty embarrassing if we didn’t have an advanced idea of what happening in California and got caught with our pants down. The decline is more financially related, due to changes in tuition waivers and other forms of financial aid.” The number of new students admitted to the School of Dentistry each year is as static as that of the Med School. Of the 87 new students admitted to the Dental School this year, only one is classified as a minority student down from 3 last year. “Our drop in minority, students is due more to declines by accepted students than anything else,” explained Admissions Assistant in the Dental School Violet Shannon. “Quotas is a dirty word around here. We try and evaluate each applicant on an individual basis.” This trend to evaluation on a human rather than mechanical level is becoming increasingly prevalent within the three schools. Rhodes of the University’s Roosevelt Affirmative Action Program believes the Bakke decision will have a great impact on attitudes within the Professional Schools. He said, “Now there not only will be additional difficulty getting in, but the minority students will have an even harder time successfully getting through.” Alan Bakke, a 33 year old engineer was denied admission into the University of California at Davis’ Medical School. Bakke investigated his rejection and found that his qualifications surpassed those of numerous students selected, who were mainly Interpreters-Maurice explained freshman class.

Nome . Address Expires Nov, IS, '78 �editorial I | Playing „Jaywednesdaywedn upon hysteria Congratulations, students In a city that eight years ago looked upon demonstrating students as invading aliens, we were somewhat apprehensive about the reactions Friday's rally might get in the community. And sure enough, the media coverage was disappointing in its misleading portrayal of the demonstrators as disruptive relics of the protest years 1969-71. It is disheartening to realize that UB students have still not shaken the image of rock-throwing rebels that was exaggerated at best in 1970 and is now nothing more than media-fueled fabrication. There are protest rallys dozens of times a year in Buffalo; and one of them seem to be instant replays of the civil rights and campus unrest movements except one." , Every sign carried, every slogan chanted, every response to Carey Friday centered around the issues of the rally. Build-out of the Amherst Campus and equitable funding treatment of SUNY Buffalo are not only election-year, voter-concern issues, they are Western New York issues affecting the crippled construction industry here and the area's seventh largest employer UB. If Bethlehem Steel workers took to the picket lines to pressure the firm into expanding their Western New York facilities, would they be "reminiscent" of radical, communist-led unions of the industrial age of expansion in America? We doubt it. The relationship between the University and the Buffalo community has always been a volatile one. But at a time when UB is improving its public image as a critical asset to the Western New York area, we expected and deserved fairer and more incisivie reporting. The rally was disruptive, there is no denying that. Yet the disruption came not for its own sake but as a by-product of a reasonable, rational and broad-based stand that sought much more than a shiny new gym floor. As student-advocates, we find it extremely discouraging to be shackled by the community's still-smoldering hysteria. And we are frankly offended by the media's conscious play upon that hysteria. Disruption, vulgarity and overtones of violence may make for snappy headlines and inticing newsreels; but they were neither the ends nor the means of Friday's demonstration. — - — Solar control Environmentalists specializing in solar energy have been appalled by the emerging role of military-related corporations in their field. While we are not about to pull the plug on any progress in this most crucial research, there is a need to think carefully about the financing and control of solar energy. My warmest congratulations go to my fellow students. You have proven that theTJB students of the 1970s are not necessarily the mindless, apathetic, hedonist bunch we have been made out to be. Just as important as any influence we may have had on Governor Carey on Friday is the realization tht UB - subsidiary of Western Electric, which is owned by corporate monster AT&T. With Washington still holding the purse-strings on much of research money that solar power will need within the next decade, there is the opportunity to prevent corporate monopolization of what we hope will become a leading source of energy in our lifetimes. We firmly believe that decentralized, public ownership of utilities deserves a close look. Hence, huge corporate forays into a still-developing field like solar energy point in the wrong direction. Were we at the same rally on Friday? Perhaps its “stirring afterglow” was only apparent to those in the front of the mass. I stood in the back and experienced a rally which certainly left an “imprint” but not one “pressing the strength in numbers, the excitement of a common goal and the power of a strong, reasonable stand firmly into mind.” On the contrary, I left the rally saddened. There was a great feeling on anticipation on Main Street Friday morning. 1 felt myself succumb to it just as willingly as everyone else; the promise of taking part in a demonstration for our inherent right to equality of education enough to excite one. At last, here was a cause important enough, indeed, vital enough to bring the vast silent majority of students at this University together to make a statement. And wasn’t the statement that we, caring and concerned students, were being denied the full potential of our four years here because of neglect on the part of the Carey administration for whatever reasons and that we were no lunger content to accept this injustice? Then why did I feel on Friday afternoon that this was not the statement most of the rallyers seemed to want to make but rather, “We want a gym and nothing mure!”? Then we have no right to accuse Syracuse University of selfishness just because of their extra request for a dome. We should have been protesting tor not just ourselves, but students everywhere who are being slighted by those in positions of power. A new gym is just one of many (and not the only as 1 fear many still think) necessities we've been denied. My own anticipation lessened with the realization of the reason for much of the anticipation belonging to those around me. a chance to recreate what we students of the Seventies lost out on the campus unrest of the Sixties.

And then there were also those who came because everyone else was there, those who had no idea of any of the issues involved. They joked and complained of not being able to hear a thing that was said on the podium while continuing to yell “Bullshit, bullshit” and “Fuck Carey.” There were those who Wanted to go all the way in playacting and instigate violence by pushing the crowd forward. The plan to sit down and listen quietly until Carey came was never followed. The organizers’ pleas for the crowd to quiet and listen to Carey’s defense were ignored. Did we only want to hear our own curses? We didn’t resolve anything.

The HuJJalo hveiling News estimated that by the year 2050 the average worker, who now makes $10,500 a year, will be making $656,000 a year and a loaf of bread will cost $47. In the year 2050, I will be 92 years old and hoping to spend whatever is left of my hard-earned savings. At the rate things are going now, most of my pension will be able to get me into a pay toilet with a broken door. - There are two important points to note regarding the financial disaster known as inflation; the first is the twisted perception that our children will have of history; the second is how should we adjust our spending habits. “The buck slops here,” said Harry Truman but our children will think he was President with about as much economic strength as a drunk who just found booze money in a dark alley. “A penny saved is a penny earned” will mean zilcho to tots who will be buying bubble gum for a dollar. Five and ten stores will apply to small items being sold under five and ten thousand. Spare change will mean extra singles in your wallet, loll booths will have exact hill lanes; and “nickle and diming” will be the epitome of cheap. This doesn’t phase me too much because my money is already no good. The vicious cycle of scratching cash from today’s vocabulary has already started Sure, if I have a Master Charge, Visa or Bank-America card, I can get breakfast. But, flash a dollar bill and people assume I must be printing my own.

As for $3.4 million for a house, I could build — spending an apartment complex now, rent out the rooms, and clear enough profit to re-invest in a tent by then. Thus, with prices, wages and taxes reaching astronomical, proportions, I’m Virtually left with no choice. I’ve decided to take that vacation for two in the Bahamas including drinks next week, and I’ll skip lunch one day in about 70 years.

Finally, I urge all students to support their newly elected officials, whoever they may be, for it is only by concerted student support that they can hope to get anything accomplished. Once again thank you. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the undergraduate students for allowing me the chance to serve them as the treasurer of their Student Association. It has been an interesting and educational eight months. — Regardless of what others might have suggested my primary concern has always been “what is best Fred Wawrzonek Treasurer, Student Association Niman speaks To the Editor, Speaking of Rosen brings up-another question, why is everyone speaking of Rosen, why does a non elected, non representative entity such as Rosen, dominate campus politics and control student activism? Oh, 1 know; good ol Jay said The Spectrum has an open door policy and is not h|s exclusice domain. 1 read the editors note, inviting anybody interested to come -work for The Spectrum some offer, huh? Well Jay, we too have an open door policy, you can come to our apartment and work for us too, do you do windows? Quite simply, it is very difficult to work with insecure egotistical editors. This new S.A. election on the other hand, I must admit is not a Rosen ploy, it’s just a simple misunderstanding. Karl Schwartz was complaining to Mott that hadn't had an erection since March, so Mott, misunderstanding him thought he wanted an election. By the time he realized that Karl was begging not for an election, but for an erection, it was too late. Oh, and speaking of erections. I always wondered what one had to do fof a The Spectrum endorsement, or shall 1 say appointment. • Friday’s farce (Rosen vs. Carey, chanting for chumps) is a typical example of elitist dominated misdirected wasted student energy. Why, tell me why, with all that we should be protesting about (such as human rights, the nuclear waste problems, the conservative revolution, world domination by assholes, etc.) is the protest with the biggest turnout the most meaningless. No matter what the outcome of Friday’s “protest,” (SUNNY over SUNY), we, the students, lose. 1) If we didn’t protest we’re left with no money, we lose. 2) If our protest is successful and Carey gets bad press and loses the election, we are stuck with four years of the Duryea Rockefeller Republican trip, we lose. 3) If Carey wins, he’ll still hate us for defiling his dirt pushing party and make sure we’re screwed, we lose. Or 4) If Carey listens to us and gives us our gym, we’re left with a jock dominated, politically sterile 40 year toga party, we lose Did this rally actually have a purpose, or was it just another Rosen, Jay Baby power play. Media , ! over Matter. The role Mike /Vivian of ‘The Spectrum To the Editor Re: my letter of November first and your reply. First, I suppose that misspelled words are a risk one takes in having something published in The Spectrum, but 1 would appreciate it if you could at least spell my name correctly. Secondly, it is obvious from my letter and your conduct that we view the role of The Spectrum in radically different ways. What I would like to know is the rationale behind your view and why it is the most proper view to which The Spectrum should conform. This should include how your view better serves the needs of the students. Finally, I would like to know by what means you were chosen for your position. I have a sneaking suspicion that very few students (this is a student newspaper) were consulted in this matter. If this is the case, maybe you should take some time to explain your legitimacy in this position. Please keep in mind that the students are the publishers of The Spectrum and you are our employee. David Milliken Editor’s Note: The Editor-in-Chief is elected by a vote o/The Spectrum Editorial Board, which at lust count included 30 members. The Editorial Board is chosen by the previous year’s Editor, with input from the two Managing Editors. The rest of your questions are rather far-reaching ones and would take page after page to adequately answer. I believe The Spectrum has Jour fundamental roles. One is to provide a learning environment for students, i.e., our staff. The second is to furnish a forum for public opinion through the editorial page and certain types of other coverage. The third and most general is to provide the University community with a high-quality newspaper (news coverage and analysis as well as feature material). The fourth is to play an advocates rote in student-rights issues, both within the University and * the outside world, us it were. You have contended that the paper ought to function something like a union newsletter, where such stands as candidate endorsements could not he. taken. The analogy fails to draw the very important distinction between the ways in which a news/ia/ter must advocate student rights and the wav in which a government must advocate student rights. The key difference is. ol course, that the former includes reportage, analysis and criticism oj the latter. .1 union newsletter which is a printed version of I he government’s advocacy role is neither expected, nor equipped to play the newspaper's role. Why ' The union government is also the newsletter publisher. Therefore, the freedom of the /tress and by extension of logic, editorial control rests with the publishers, hot with the newsletter. The implications here, censorship, etc., are obvious. The critical need for a separation between the government and the publisher rests at the core 01 The Spectrum's status as a autonomous corporation, ruled solely by its hoard ol directors (Editorial Board). The Student Assoeallon. comprised, in theory, of all undergraduate students does not publish the newspaper. The newspaper's officials are not the legal representatives ol the students, hence the paper cannot lake stands in the name of the student body. The student body, in turn, does not choose the newspaper’s officials. Hence, contrary to your claim, the Ed it or-in -Ch ief is not an employee of the students. Nor is any other member of the staff. None oj this means The Spectrum has no responsiblity to serve the students. On the contrary, that is the paper’s singular purpose. The Letters to the Editor column and the open-door policy for the staffreflect this responsibility. But the definition of what is and is not sevice must necessarily rest with the editors, not with the student government, not with an individual reader, and most certainly not with the University administration. The history of press and government in this country and at this Univesrity bears this very fundamental point out. „ - - 'Prodigal Sun’ negativism MFC sets it straight on Panthers To the Editor. As President of the Millard Fillmore College Student Association (MFCSA), 1 would like to sit the record straight regarding MFCSA by the Student Gray Panthers. Last spring, Jacob Kramer was referred to MFCSA by the Student Association (SA), who felt MFC met the needs of the Gray Panthers, not SA. It took approximately two months before Kreamer provided MFCSA with all the material needed for club recognition within the University. At that time, Kramer stated he wanted to bring Maggie Kuhn to speak on campus and that the costs would be $500. When the Gray Panthers were formally recognized, MFCSA’s Executive Committe voted to allocate $500 for the Panthers. We also offered our assistance and the help of our secretary, which Kramer accepted and took full advantage of. At the time of his initial allocation, Kramer was advised of the following: I) that any functions hosted by the Gray Panthers must be held at a time when MFC students could attend, since their fees were supporting the Panther’s cause, 2) that each fall semester, he would have to come before the Executive Committee with his proposed budget for the academic year. Kramer was never led to believe that funds would be allocated to cover his full budget request or that MFC would allocate the same monetary figure each year, 3) Kramer was advised to go before other organizations on campus to seek additional funding. 1 Kramer’s allegation that his $750 budget request for Maggie Kuhn was reduced by MFC Treasurer, Kurt van de Velde, in conjunction with the Executive Committee, is incorrect. The Executive Committee voted at the Octber 18, 1978 meeting to allocate $500 for the funding of the Gray Panthers for the 1978-79 academic year. The Gray Panther’s funding was not cut, in fact, they received the same amount of funding as last spring. It was pointed out to Kramer at the October 19, 1878 meeting that there were still unpaid bills which he requested funding for. The committee informed his afterwards that the payment of these bills would be made, however, they would be deducted from the funding allocated to him for the academic year. During the course of the meeting, Kramer acknowledged monies received from the Community Action Corps (CAC), however, only after having been asked directly about other sources of funding. (The CAC gave normal funding last Spring and this fall.) It Was also brough to Kramer’s attention that the functions hosted by the Gray Panthers were held at a time When the majority of our constituency were unable to attend because they were working. Kramer was then advised that the Executive Committee would vote on the monetary allocation after completion of our budget hearing and that he would be informed shortly thereafter. The contributions of the Gray Panthers to MFC students are somewhat vague. Although they had a Square Dance last spring, and put up signs indicating MFC support, timewise, it was inconvenient for MFC students to attend. The dance was held in the afternoon, at a time when our constituency are still working. Regarding Maggie Kuhn’s recent speech, Kramer stated he could only have second choice in her services because the Rosa Coplon Home initially brought her to Buffalo, not the Gray Panthers. This meant a reduction in costs for the Gray Panthers. It was made clear several times that he was not to depend on MFC for total funding for the Maggie Kuhn appearance. I take exception to Kramer’s statement regarding MFCSA’s “shabby treatment of an organization that has contributed so much to MFC community.” Contrarily, and the MFCSA’s treatment of the Gary Panthers has been just the opposite. We offered funding which the Panthers accepted, we offered out assistance to get the Panthers recognized, which they accepted, we offered the use of our office secretary, which they accepted and utilized. Yet, 'aside from the two functions mentioned above, we have seen little in the way of benefits to our students. Furthermore, we would also like to make a correction concerning the spelling of the MFCSA Treasurer’s name, it is Kurt van de Velde, not Vandebeveld. To the Editor.

All the research companies contacted by The Spectrum refused to comment on any phase of their operations, however, every one of them is most willing to send a prospective buyer a catalog describing their wares. The 237 page catalog of research and writing services circulated by Ned Wod (not his real name), is a third year English-History major at this University. So far this his semester effort has been enough to keep him doing “C” work. But now it's mid-November and his professors are really beginning to pile on the assignments. In a period of three passable - weeks, he has four different research papers due. All those nights of leaving the UGL at 9 p.m. and heading back to his apartment for bong hits and beers are over, or so he thinks. One day, while attending a class in Clemens Hall, Ned spies an eye-catching advertisement hanging on the wall next to the magazine ads. “Got those term papers blues again?" the ad inquires. “Do yourself a favor and try Research Unlimited Just mail us $2 and we'll send you our Pacific Research Inc. tells students not to despair if they can't find a research paper in the catalog that meets their particular needs.

According to Assistant to the President Ron Stein, the sale and purchase of verbatim research papers is not who, gathered several hundred college term papers to create their first term paper library. According to the catalog, it didn't take long for the news of Pacific Research's “better mousetrap" to get around. “We now have a library of thousands of quality research papers, the most comprehensive and descriptive catalog around, a staff of almost 40 professional writers and thousands of pleased customers enough to make college life easier and more meaningful for college students we serve," informs the catalog. The price of papers, ordered from the Research Unlimited Company is S3 per page. Custom research papers cost S6.50 per page for undergraduate or - - only unethical, but downright illegal. “The K ducat ion Law, amended two years ago, expressly forbids the sale or purchase 6T ready made term papers in New York State," he said. “As far as University rules go, it’s a clear case of plagiarism and violates the level undergraduate advanced research and $8 per page for graduate studies.

The “deal” is one free page for each original paper, in response to a question about an other possible outlet for original papers, a Research Unlimited spokesman said, “Hey. you can start your own company!” Causes Although doing business with such “paper producers” seems to be the easy way out of endless library research hours. Director of Libraries Satikas Roy sees the situation quite differently. “It he should an unthinkable alternative in the mind of a student.” he said, “The only person getting cheated is the student himself. He loses all the ducational experiences his any particular research company. “A newspaper has the right to refuse any advertisement from any company it feels is in any way fraudulent,” said Courier Melvin Pauly. Advertising Manager "We don’t knowingly print anything that is questionable of being reader’s best in the interest,” said News Advertising Manager Charlie Sands. “It’s our policy to check the validity of suspicious ads with advertising agencies and other papers. And we don’t feel obligated to give reasons for refusing any ads,” he added. Treat as plagiarism The educators’ reactions to the research paper business fall under a wide range of sentiments. Although many maintain that a student is placing himself in academic jeopardy by attempting such acts of plagiarism, most agree that it is extremely difficult for a to professor detect such fraudulent papers. “Although, to my knowledge, I’ve never received such a paper, it seems like awful stuff. I would treat it as a case of said plagiarism." American Studies professor Mike Frisch. “I would definitely return the paper to the student and tell him to do it over again,” History Professor H.A. Bennett remarked. “It seems like such stupidity an to pay inconceivable someone for else’s work. But I’m not paid to be a policeman," she noted “I don’t go snooping around to insure the of a student’s work.” However. Political Science Mark Huddleston, claims that his department employs certain measures to insure that a students* work is indeed their own. “We keep various copies of catalogs circulated by research companies and do keep a running check on the areas dealing With our own subject,” he said. “Nonetheless it would be difficult in dealing with a paper of doubtful origin to determine whether the project was purchased from a research company. If I could be sure that a student had, in fact, bought a paper, I would take the strongest action possible fail the student on the assignment at least, and possibly in the course,” he added. Professor - Out of New York “I’d have no alternative but to mark the paper, but from what I’ve heard of the quality of the work put out .by these research companies, the student probably wouldn’t do very well,” quipped another English professor, Marcus Klein. Due to strict enforcement of the New York State education law by State Attorney General Louis Lefkowitz, “research” companies have been forced to set up their operations outside of the state. This does not, however, stop them from their circulating advertisements in New York. Ron Stein said that anyone who is contacted by such a company should contact his office for investigation. Stein maintained that although students can and will be expelled for plagiarism of this sort, it is purely an academic matter to be handled through the Undergraduate Education Department. ������������� Speakers Bureau presents: Liberal Arts Workshop University Placement & Career Guidance presents a Liberal Arts Workshop (English.

The request was quickly denied by the Student-Wide Judiciary (SWJ) on jurisdictional grounds, according to Chief Justice of the SWJ Michelle Seidner. The plaintiffs argued that several procedural issues were lacking in the call for elections. First, they charged, the SA Constitution mandates that the Student Senate approve, the call for elections, which did not occur in this case. The Constitution also states that rules to be followed during the election must be approved by the Senate. The plaintiffs’ brief also that the Senate passed a resolution October 23 stating that the Constitution was being violated by the new elections. The Court denied the request because the plaintiffs did not go to the right agency. Under the SA .Constitution, thei Elections and Credentials Committee has jurisdiction over all election disputes. “The Court does not have original jurisdiction on election matters,” Seidner said, “we only have appellate jurisdiction.” The Court added that the plaintiffs in the brief were not in fact plaintiffs at all, since they were not candidates in the election. “The proper people to bring this action should have been candidates in the election. Since the plaintiffs are not affected, they can’t bring suit,” Saidner said. The plaintiffs Wawrzonek, Rubin, Director of Academic Affairs Sheldon Gopstein and Director' of Student Affairs Lori Pasternak were previously denied an injunction against the elections October 31. At that time, the plaintiffs attempted to prove that the elections violated both the letter and the spirit of the SA Constitution. The Court also pointed out that the plaintiffs were not acting in “good faith” by secretly submitting the brief on Sunday to the SWJ without notifying the defendant Acting SA President Karl Schwartz. ‘They never provided Karl with a copy, and he never would have known about the existence of the complaint if I didn’t tell him;” Seidner said. Seidner added that the plaintiffs were not acting in good faith bytrying to merely stall the elections. “They brought up procedural questions, not substantive ones,” she said, “This means the best they could hope for was a delay in the election. They couldn’t stop the elections from occurring.” Harvey Shapiro — — Negotiations resumed yesterday between accustomed to the University and the various officials of the Blue Bird Bus Corporation and routes between the campuses. ‘There were no representatives of the striking driver’s union.

The Baldy Center, opened last September, is offering two joint programs to Law students or dual degree that will allow discipline in Law as well as any program within the Faculty of Social Sciences. These programs - — will allow students to specialize their studies to an aspect of the law that not only interests them, but will also be practical after graduation. The joint degree program requires 5 to 6 years to complete and leads to both JD and PhD degrees. According to assistant director of the center, Wendy Katkin, it is designed "for those individuals who DISCO DANCE CLASSES AT are interested in studying law in a broad and social context." Objectives of the joint degree include* emphasis on development of research anti writing personal skills, a curriculum based on the students' secondary field of study and opportunities for students to work together with people in their secondary field of interest.

According to Assistant News Editor of the Binghamton Pipedream Michael T.

A week after the Lehman fire, on October 28, another highly suspicious fire was discovered in O'Conner Hall. According to Fiur, a paper was left burning on a couch, and “it was only the quality of the flame retardent couch that prevented the fire from spreading." Last Sunday night, a small garbage can blaze set off the Lehman alarm system again, but the fire was quickly brought under control.

Beyer found Buffalo to be a welcome change. “I missed the familiarity of streets, of people and of places,” he recalled. “In the very beginning, I spent a lot of hours just walking around the city.

He has lectured in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Syracuse, Rochester and in Buffalo. Supportive of two political-social groups, Mobilization for Survival and College F, Beyer is currently teaching a College F course on the Vietnam War and war resisters.

Another problem slowing the reinstatement of SCATE is the memory of the last evaluation done three years ago, “The last one was too long, many of the questions were irrelevant, and it was done without official sanction said Gopstein, adding, “Some degree of uncooperation was exhibited by some facaulty members.” “1 would like to correct those faults with a new SCATE format,” Gopstein proposed. “We gee; to .shorten it and make the questions more applicable. The questions should be concerned with the outcome of a class, not whether the student feels that the teacher performed well.” Some have departments conducted their own surveys for the past three years. None have made the results open to students. The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences is one such department. If SCATE evaluations are re-instated, the continuation of separate FEAS evaluations will depend on the mandates behind SCATE.

The conference, held in UB’s Squire Hall, focused on the seven point program designed by UB Over the past few years the financial resources allocated to SUNY libraries has decreased. SASU’s goal is to enhance the quality of school libraries by seeking an increase in the library reservoirs of materials and services available to users. Students’ inability to vote in their college communities a problem that has prevented many is another students here from voting in Buffalo SASU goal. According to a SASU platform brief, “Despite the fact that students live a majority of the year in their college community, pay local taxes, are subject to the laws and ordinances of that locality, Zenebe Knifle, Karl Schwartz.

The UB soccer concluded their disappointing season in their familiar 1978 manner with a loss. The Bulls finished at 4-10-1, getting shutout 2-0 Saturday by Brockport. The game was an important one for the Golden Eagles, bringing a possible berth in the nationals into sight. “It was the last game of the season for a lot of us,” explained UB co-captain Barry Kieeman. “We didn’t have too much on the tine; they had everything on the Une.” Kleeman thought that this would be an advantage for the Buffalo squad. UB did put up a good fight, but Brockport’s dream of a spot in the nationals was too strong a motivating force. In the first half the Bulls played even with Brockport, but were able to work their way upfield effectively. UB keyed their passing around halfback Bobby DeShaies who led both teams in shots-on-goal for the first half. The Golden Eagles had their hands full with DeShaies’ passing and Kleeman’s dribbling. Kieeman got the small but anxious crowd cheering his ability to weave in and out Brockport’s defense, but failed to score. The second half proved to be a pushing and shoving match to see who would control the ball. DeShaies and his Brockport counterpart both got referee for “poor warnings sportsmanship” and Ramsey Quartey received a yellow card for pushing. But UB’s aggressiveness was soon cooled off by Brockport’s finesse and skill. The Golden Eagles waited for UB to make mistakes. After a flawless first half, the Bulls committed two costly ones which is all Brockport needed. Five minutes into the second half, Brockport scored on a long throw from their goalie to forward Gavin Timoney. Timoney passed the UB defense almost unnoticed as he broke team — tries. Sostowski mixed his plays well, balanecing his aerial attack with a sweeping ground game. He hit wide receiver Kevin Haggerty often on the left side and threw to both Van Gorden and Meassick on the right. But Miller Time had trouble moving the ball over the goal line. “Our defence kept us in the game, Meassick said. And Haggerty agreed: “We moved the ball pretty well all day,” he said, „but it’s usually a defensive mistake that gives up a touchdown.” Miller- Time made few mistakes, despite the muddy field. Blitzing their outside lineman occasionally. Miller Time forced Helter Skelter to rush their plays. “It kept Us off guard,” admitted running back Bill Eckhardt. Helter Skelter went down passing. Haggerty knocked down passes on two successive plays to stymie Helter Skelter’s final scoring try of the day. “I think they’re the best team we’ve played so far,” Haggerty said. But Eckhardt was not so complimentary. “We’ve played a lot better teams,” he said. “The other teams are going to tear them - . Quarterback Mike Sostowski hooked up with teammate Chuck Meassick for two touchdowns using the very same play Saturday, leading Miller Time (6-0) to a 12-0 shutout of Helter Skelter (5-2), as the Intramural Playoffs kicked off at Ellicott. Sostowski found Meassick open on a square out in the right corner of the endzone midway through the first half and then again early in the second half. Miller Time failed on both extra point attempts as Ken Keast and Tom Van Gorden both missed diving *’ apart.” Meassick thinks the winner will come from Miller Time’s playoff bracket, which includes such' stalwarts as Tolchok, Catch 22, and the Panama Redskins.

But no one touched the ball.” The offsides can only be called if it is touched by either team on that side of the field. Another one A repeat performance was enacted by Brockport's Gerald Peckich. With the Bulls defense concentrating on the ball, Peckich stood behind UB fullback George Daddarrio, awaiting the fast break. He got the break and along with it the second Brockport goal. “It was my fault,” said defensive captain Daddarrio. “I called for the offsides and let the man get behind me, hoping he’d get called.

As he was being ushered out the door, he said, “Well, let’s make it $40,000 and one new Cadillac.” best running back, at about $750,000, Rutkowski contended, shouldn’t Walter Payton be worthy of an equivalent sum? Get the most you can A more dangerous precedent, Rutkowski said, is the rumor that a proposed NFL competitor the International Football League may be offering Baltimore Colts quarterback Bert Jones a five year pact for one million dollars annually. “The owners always see fit to pay and then complain about the high salaries,” charged panelist Lemer. Of course the agent is out to get the most he can for his client, and it the owner can afford it, he will pay. The inevitable result is higher ticket prices for the fan. One reason for the upward salary spiral is the liberalization of restrictions that in the past inhibited player movement. Baseball's system is the most emancipating, requiring no compensation to the ravaged team after a free agent leaves. All three other major sports basketball, football and hockey require some form of compensation be given by the — — That story, told by former Buffalp Bills wide receiver Ed RAtkowski, illustrates the growing need for player agents in modern professional sports. Rutkowski joined four other experts in the plush on Moot Courtroom at O’Brian Hall fora “Sports and the Law,” as part of the LIB Taw School’s third annual Alumni Convocation. Present were Bill Lerner of Sportsystems. Inc., a player advisement firm; Toronto Blue Jays General Manager Pat Gillick; Buffalo lawyer Robert Swados, former Vice President of the Buffalo Sabres; and Ralph Halpern, also a lawyer. The five-man panel offered insights into the agents role telling an audience composed primarily of law students and alumni that, ‘The athlete doesn’t need a friend. He needs someone to tell him what his actual market value is.” This maintains harmony in the negotiations, Rutkowski asserted, because both sides have a rough idea of the players worth. discussir^T How much? But the advent of a limited free agent system in each of the four major sports has made “worth” a very nebulous term. The best way to determine a player’s worth, the panel said, is by comparison, but such information is not always readily acquired. In football, for example, the Players Association reveals only average salaries by position. So if an agent wants to find out what a player is earning, he can either ask that player, or as panelist Halpern laughingly suggested, “He can read the paper and then divide by two.” The Major League Baseball Players Association however, does provide fairly reliable salary figures, according to Gillick. He claimed management is just as interested in those figures as the players are. “We try to establish credibility,” Gillick remarked. While the furor surrounding high salaries grows, management continues to comply with player demands for salaries in the hundreds of thousands per year. Rutkowski suggested that the owners are digging their own graves by offering these precedent setting deals. If O J. Simpson set a standard for the - signing team “Collective bargaining agreements in all sports have recognized the concept of reasonable restraint against pilferage.’’ Swados noted. Even in baseball, a free agent may negotiate with only twelve teams. McCourt won’t go But that restraint is being challenged as well. After failing to agree on compensation with the Los Angeles Kings for signing star goalie Regie Vachon, the Detroit Red Wings were told to part with forward Dale McCojlff, their top player, by an independent arbitrator. McCourt however was not so inclined. He refused to report to Los Angeles and filed suit, challenging the league’s authority to trade him against his will. A McCourt victory could set a precedent, rendering collective bargaining restraints in all major sports illegal, according to National Hockey League President John Ziegler. “There’s great uncertainty in the league and there will be until we get a decision,” Ziegler said in his keynote luncheon address Saturday. Conceivably, such a decision could end legal sanction of the draft systems currently used to maintain competitive balance in each league, making a collegiate star eligible to sign with any team he wished. So the field for player agents could widen even more. Let’s see. what’s 15 percent of two million?' After making hits for everyone else, Fuller and Kaz have one tor themselves.

The Royqjs play in Cortland this weekend in the state-wide tourney. Royals ‘crown' season with championship berth The new, improved version of the volleyball Royals contivued their winning ways last Saturday finishing second at the District Tournament and. at the same time, earning a berth in the New York State Championships. The change in the Royals in the last week has been dramatic and somewhat unexpected. One week ago, coach Peter Weinreich expressed some doubt as to his team even getting to the State Championships. “I thought it would be difficult at best, but I wasn’t about to give anybody odds,” Weinreich said. All the Royals did was win their first four matches with almost no difficulty guaranteeing themselves either first or second place. “Kverything came together,” Weinreich said. “The team played as a unit today instead of as individuals.” The team play could be attributed to the greater emphasis given to it in practice last week. “We’ve been scrimmaging a lot In practice,” said co-captain Sue Trabert, “and it’s starting to pay off. We’ve been able to work more on strategy.” New play One play, which Buffalo unveiled for against Genesee Community College, and the first time Thursday night used effectively on Saturday, involved setter Lori Hansen and spiker Wanda Mesmer. Hansen set the ball low, and right in the cqnter of the court, and Mesmer quickly hammered the ball into the floor for a Buffalo point. But things were going so well Saturday that on several occasions, Mesmer set the ball for Hansen, who then scored on a spike. Buffalo State gave the Royals the most trouble, winning the first game IS-13. Buffalo fought back and took the lead in the second game after a long rally, in which Royal Debbie Bateman made a head-first diving save, Judy Bardak blocked a spike and then scored on a spike of her own. Hansen then scored on two serves to give the game to Buffalo 15 12. The match also went to Buffalo because they had scored one more point than Buffalo State in the two games combined. Royals looked even sharper in disposing of St. Bonaventure in the next round, 15-8, 15-11. Freshman Maureen Strick, who has not seen much playing time this year, had an excellent match, scoring on serves and spikes and playing strong defense. — Strick strikes Those with wins, coupled two a split in the St. Bonaventure-Buffalo State march, put UB into the quarterfinals against a hapless D’Youville team. What the Spartans lacked in talent, however, they made up fur in desire, as they defeated Buffalo in the second game IS-13, the only game they won all day. Buffalo sandwiched this lost between 15-5 wins, thereby advancing into the semifinals. Strick had another fine match, and Royals spikers Mesmer and Akemi Tsuji had little trouble scoring. In another quarterfinal, St. Bonaventure overcame a first game loss to defeat Niagara in a hard fought match, 10-15, 15-12, 15-13. The Bonnies win almost guaranteed Buffalo an easy time in the semifinals, since Buffalo had already beaten St. Bonaventure. As expected, St. Bonaventure rolled over and played dead, The Royals scored 20 straight points making a mockery of the first game, 15-2, and building an insurmountable 7-0 lead in the second game. Meanwhile, Fredonia didn’t lose a game all day, as they knocked off Buffalo Sate in the other semi-final 1,5-10, lS-6, setting up a Buffalo-Fredonia final for the third consecutive year. And for the third consecutive year, Fredonia came out on top. “Fredonia has better serves than the other teams,” Weinreich said. “Our serve reception was very poor for the Fredonia match.” Despite the Royals season-long problems and a 13-26 record, Weinrech still felt that the year was a success. “Our goal Whs to go to the States this year, and we made it.” Friday and Saturday, the Royals will be at Cortland for the New York State Championships, and although Weinreich feels that the Royals will be “respectable," he doesn’t expect them to go too far. �I CREATIVITY DAY Wednesday, November 8, 1978 Squire Hall, 9 a.m. Featuring an Evening Symposium at 8 p.m. with Four of the Nation’s Creativity Experts; — Carol Liaros ~ _ Ruth Noller — John Sed&ewick Dick Thorn — FREE BY DAY!!

The lawn adjacent to Abbott Lot was being readied for a low-keyed, if landmark, ceremonial function: the long awaited groundbreaking of the Buffalo Light Rail Rapid Transit System. Dozens of city and state officials were to be present including Senator Daniel Swing through the Patrick Moymhan, Bofiaio Mayor »ttetrjpt to twItcneViannels James Griffin and an embattled incumbant Governor on the home stretch of his re-election bid Hugh Carey But the scene was not to be the quiet affair of smiling faces, polite the crowd hold fast inviting th« Governor to tour the crumbling caverns of Clark Hall.

Why should Syracuse, a school that is not part of the SUNY system, receive state funding for an ambitious athletic recreation complex while UB has to live with axpatbetically inadequate facility and moreover receive these monies from state coffers that are ostensibly scant? And how could area legislators go along with this injustice? These questions formed an undercurrent of indignation all to the indifference of the Akuny czars, the loftiest of whom they had gathered to topple—if not from office than surely from dignity. afternoon. When it And there they stood was learned v that Governor Carey would be present for the Light Rail Rapid Transit groundbreaking, a coalition of organizations student that included the Student Association (SA), the New York Public Interest Relations Group (NYPIRG) and The Spectrum hastily mobilized a protest rally to greet Carey’s appearance and thus publicize the University’s plight. Banners and signs were painted and posted up all over campus; resident advisors were contacted and instructed inform their floor residents of the rally, while Friday’s The Spectrum featured a bold face announcement atop the newspaper logo urging students to picket the Governor’s appearance. Spearhead boxed A section of demonstration facts on the front page instructed student, faculty and staff to assemble at the Squire Fountain area at 3;30 reminding participants that the demonstration was to proceed in an orderly manner lest it turn into an unruly mob, and effect negative media coverage. The was day’s turnout respectable. Five tb six hundred people gathered anxiously aroung the fountain area at about 3:30 waiting for the rally to begin. One hundred seventy-four signs were brought down from The Spectrum office and distributed among the crowd. A large banner was unfurled as the spearhead of the march and the demonstration was underway.

All three television stations carried film reports on the 6 and. 11 p.m. newscasts and the two Buffalo newspapers featured the sotry on the front page Saturday. Long Island's "Newsday" also covered the event. 1 itklri' ' / �Special to The Spectrum gubernatorial Republican candidate Perry Duryea told The Spectrum Saturday he is committed to the completion of the Amherst Campus but the Long Island Assemblyman fell short of detailing a specific plan or setting a construction time-table. Duryea, who was in Buffalo this weekend as part of a final state-wide campaign swing, blamed New York Governor Hugh Carey for the state’s failure to build the campus and played down Carey’s excuses that the State Division of the Budget (DOB), the SUNY Board of Trustees and a failing bond market are all to blame for the delays. “The Campus was not build due to the Governor’s reluctance to recognize the need for expansion,” he said. The State Assembly Minority leader stated that Carey “absolutely” could have built the Campus if he wanted to and maintained that under the Republicans the project "was on the front burners.” He claimed he is “committed to the orderly completion of the Amherst Campus in a logical manner,” and will “move specifically with mryhey in the 1979 budget.” When asked hovrTnuch he intended to recommend for Buffalo construction he said it would be impossible for him to determine now, but promised there “will be a specific line in the budget for Amherst construction.” Republican leaders were with Friday’s tumultuous assailing Carey, Duryea ironically Although local undoubtedly pleased demonstration supports the Governor's $15.3 million allocation to Syracuse University for a domed stadium which triggered the rally. He explained that the two are not mutually exclusive and that “It has been possible to lake care of the State University’s needs.” as well as those of others. He did indicate that as Governor he would have reordered his priorities and served the State University in 1975-6, before embarking on ambitious construction at private institutions. Duryea was accompanied throughout the day by tax-cut proponent Jack Kemp (R. Hamburg). Duryea, a long time proponent of Stony Brook Construction, denied that the Long Island institution’s success in gaining state funds has crippled progress here. Rather, Duryea held that both Universities could have moved forward with the Governor’s cooperation. “Stony Brook and the Amherst Campus are both jewels of SUNY with the most extensive programs,” he said. “Stony Brook’s receiving of funds was not detrimental to Amherst.” Duryea struck down what has become the most popular refrain sung by Carey and the DOB: that work at Amherst has crawled because of an unfavorable bond market climate. The Governor has consistently blamed New York City’s fiscal crisis for - undermining the market and making it impossible to sell bonds in 1975. But Duryea claimed that the bond market didn’t turn sour until June, 1975, five months after Carey took office. “Until then," he explained. “New York State sold bonds on an attractive basis as if had previously. A good market was available in the state. Once New York City was i ■D CO over that crisis, the bond market opened up, and although'it wasn’t as good, it was not that bad.” When asked why Carey would be so reluctant to fund SUNY, Duryea guessed the Governor might be contemplating a merger with CUNY. “He wants to take over CUNY’ which is independent, mold it into SUNY and then spend the money on CUNY,” he hypothesised. “I would assume that’s the answer.” Duryea scoffed at Carey’s commitment Friday to arrange a meeting with New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton, Wharton’s commission on construction, University President Robert Ketter and a student reprcsentive to ponder the question of Amherst construction. “Anything he says 1 discount,” he ' Duryea shows in Squire; vows completed campus supports Syracuse dome ...... by John H. Reiss commented. “I just don’t believe it.” After holding a brief press conference at Buffalo International Airport Saturday and stumping in Williamsville for Republican candidate for tht'State Assembly John Sheffer, Duryea struck while the students were hot, making an unscheduled stop at the Student Association of the State University (SASU) meeting in Squire Hall. He told the Tiffin Room-gathering-ef students from-throughout the state that he is cognizant of the hardships facing SUNY and pledged to , do “everything humanly possible” to expand the Tuition Assistance Program which he said should include part-time students. Duryea struck a bitter note with his audience when he reaffirmed his support of the death penalty. He stated that the tricky problem of racism would be avoided by following proper guidelines, utilizing a two jury system and maintaining the right of clemency. Executive He claimed “Capital punishment can be applied without prejudice,” and that the state must protect its citizens from criminals. As he spoke, four black members of the conference walked out in silent protest. The problem of institutionalized racism, he remarked, could be solved by "De-institutionalizing it.” Earlier in the day, Duryea met with two widows of policemen murdered in the line of duty and called for the enactment of “sensible-crime laws” in New York. He also dr£w hisses from the crowd when he called the absentee ballot procedures in the state “adequate,” and refused to support legislation which would allow college students to vote in the counties where they attend school. New York is only one of three states in the nation which denies this right. —Bui THE TRAIL LEADS TO SQUIRE: Republican candidate for Governor Perry Ouryea was also in town Saturday and, after hearing about the Carey protest here the day before, decided to drop in on the Student Association of the State University (SASU) state-wide conference in Squire Hall (above).

Fremming made the allegation during a lull in the ground-breaking ceremonies of the Buffalo Light Rail Transit (LRRT) near Foster Hall before Governor Carey arrived. He claimed that “Perry Duryea is actively trying to undermine what’s going on here.” Duryea, who arrived in Buffalo on Saturday, denied the charge calling it “absolute nonsense.” The State Assenfbly Minority Leader who trails Carey in most polls, said Fremming’s remark was “a complete falsehood. I’ve always pledged my support.” Fremming made the charge as part of a long explanation in which he apparently tried to link UB Wrestling Coach Ed Michael with Duryea. Michael has written a long, well publicized letter criticizing the Democratic Governor for his support of a $15.3 million appropriation to help fund a domed stadium at Syracuse University, a private institution. iifiit ask him Fremming explained that Michael is a "good friend” of Gerry Philbin, a former NFL defensive end and UB football star. He claimed that Philbin is on Duryea’s staff and that Duryea is concentrating his efforts against Amherst build-out. “Just ask Duryea about Philbin,” he said. Fremming told the same story to University Director of Public Relations Jim DeSantis, who said he didn't believe a word of it. Interestingly, Fremming has come under recent criticism for failing to show full support of the Amherst Campus by voting for the Syracuse appropriation. When asked why he favored the measure, Fremming opened a rapid fire account of his accomplishments in aiding Amherst. “I brought $50 million into the University this year," he boasted. “I broke the freeze on Capital construction. I got $10 million for Millersport. You can see me working." When asked about the future of the skeletal Campus, Fremming was somewhat less enthusiastic, saying, “We will expedite and move as fast as we can." The Assemblyman blamed the Campus’s delay on the Albany bureaucracy and an unstable bond market, saying that bonds needed for new buildings couldn’t be sold in 1975. Williamsville Mayor John Sheffer (Rep.) who is opposing Fremming for his Assembly seat had a different explanation. He has been contacting members of the University community asking for their support and claiming that Fremming has made less than a full effort to help move the Campus towards completion. Sheffer has also circulated a September 5 letter written by Fremming to the Conservative Party soliciting its backing. In the letter, Fremming affirms his support for a number of arch-conservative causes including the move to fight decriminalization ofAnarjjuana and to reinstate the death penalty. He has voted to cut taxes, impose across the board welfare cuts and support pro-life legislation, including a measure Requiring parental consent for abortions. , John H.

And this moment Carey was arch-villain, and nothing he could say would change the demonstrators’ minds. Although he proffered no firm commitment, Carey attempted to convince the crowd of his long-standing pledge to. complete the Amherst Campus. During the course of the ceremony turned confrontation, Carey made several gaffes. One that was scoffed at more than any other for its convoluted logic was an ostensible rationale for building the Syracuse dome, “One of these days you * Carey proceeded to attempt to endear himself to the sympathies of the crowd by recalling his —continued from page 2— might find a Syracuse coed to marry.” The Governor was at an obvious loss for how to deal with this hostile audience as he switched from tack to another, dropping names, fumbling over University President’s Ketter’s Robert ndme and frequently shifting into condescending tones.

The striking union was more specific in detailing the dispute. “The dispute does not center on wages,” ssaid Glowniak. “There issues are other important involved.” The key issues are the pension plan, health benefits, and the elimination of a “cap” on the cost of living increases, she said.

Curto said that employees who drive 60-80 hours per week might be considered part-time because they do not drive 2300 hours a year. “1 am considered a part-time driver even though during peak business periods 1 drive up to 80 hours per week.” Curto explained that he does not drive the required2300 hours a year because during slack business periods he does not work that often. “1 need the cost of living increase, I can’t afford to lose it,” he said. Glowniak Said that her fellow drivers need the cost of living increase,“to stay competitive in order to live.” Blue Bird said that they have been receptive to the Island Transit and the Cottrell Bus Corporation did not cross the picket lines. "We are happy that our brother and sister union members acknowledged our lines. They can count on our support if they are ever on strike,” Cdowniak said. companies. substitute The strikers, meanwhile, asked for student support during the strike. “Students can support us by riding the buses as often as possible,” Glowniak said, “that way. Blue Bird will need more buses, but they won’t have the personnel to drive them.

Sometime during Thursday night the air was let out of 'tires on several buses and the radio equipment was ripped out, he said. “We know who is responsible for these actions and we are filing formal charges with the authorities,” Katz said. He added that these incidents are “isolated” and said the majority of the strikers are picketing in an orderly fashion. “We don’t deny their right to strike, but they must realize that we have a right to operate and we will,” Katz said.

We are not such dreamers. But the current of protest running through Friday's 1100 need not burn itself out after the media attention has died and Tuesday's polls have closed. There is much more to be done. The sheer emotional power of fighting for a cause can be tapped for dozens of other student-rights projects, as well as for the continuing fight to build the Amherst Campus. No, we are not envisioning weekly demonstrations, but we do sense an emerging energy in the student body that must be put to use. While there is good reason for the lingering optimism this weekend, none of it springs from Carey's weak and at times laughable performance. The Governor came, he saw, he faltered and then sank in the mirth of his own feeble attempts at patronage. Admittedly, Carey was put in a tough Spot literally surrounded by hostility but most of his replies never deserved a chance. They were either contrived {I once walked beside Bobby Kennedy), insincere (I will do my utmost), or totally beside the point (I fought for TAP increases). He did not talk straight with the students; and failed to perceive that around him stood a group of people who knew what they wanted, knew what they deserved and very much knew the details and facts that Carey either tripped blindly over or summarily ignored. Governor Hugh Carey has, and has had, the power to complete the Amherst Campus. It was that simple to the banner-waving crowd. It was that simple somewhere in Carey's own mind. It remains that simple after the Governor's bungled round of charades Friday. Although we must cpmmend Carey for staying that long amid the combative and, at times vulgar mass, he did nothing to dredge himself, in our view, from his anchoring as SUNY Buffalo's punlic enemy Number 1. Nevertheless, Friday's utfer rejection of Carey must not serve as a tacit approval of Perry Duryea. We are uncomfortable with Duryea's strong alliance with SUNY Stony Brook and put off by his consistently conservative stances on the death penalty and other moral issues. Despite his finely tuned rhetoric to the contrary, Duryea has not come off as a supporter of student rights adamantly refusing to support legislation that would allow students to vote in their college £ . Fusion Energy Club objects - - — - - - community, for example. Sadly, the Governor's race this year is almost like choosing a method for suicide. Minimizing pain becomes the only objective. But despite such unanimously negative overtones in Tuesday's elections, students took a thousand positive steps forward Friday, each pressing the of which should leave an imprint on the individual strength in numbers, the excitement of a common goal and.the power of a strong, reasonable stand firmly into mind. There were lessons learned on that grassy hill Friday that run much deeper than Carey's rhetoric or even the protestor's replies can reflect. To merely know that students are neither prisoners of an unreachable bureaucracy, nor victim* of their own passivity is a powerful and usable tool. Every University-wide issue, every affront to our lives as students, every twisting of right and wrong can be viewed with the conviction if not the emotion of Friday's demonstration. There is nothing dreamy or far-away about such a notion. It was unalienable in the minds of the Carey protestors and refuses to be erased from our vision of student activism at this University in 1978. With 1100 students suddenly part of the solution Friday, the in all its depth and complexity student-rights problem can no longer appear insurmountable. And although we have surely taken only the first steps as a union of students, the path before us is brightly lit and clearly marked in Friday's stirring afterglow. Let's not lose ourselves again. evidence by the judicious intellects of the GSA Executive Board to ban the club.

Food Service recently pushed through a two half-keg limit on all parties in the Fargo Cafeteria. Beer blasts have in effect, been eliminated from Fllicott. Director of Food and Vending Services Donald Hosie claims that “persons living in residence ahlls should not be intimidated. The parties would be a threat to my safety if I lived in that hall.” Who is he trying to fool? This is another example of Food Service’s lust for profit at the student’s expense. Hosie is just worried that parties detract from Pub business. The students need an alternative; the fact that hundreds of dorm students go off-campus to bars if proof that the Pub does not meet the needs of the student population living at Ellicott. Hosie cites noise level complaints as a reason to beer blasts to Talbert Hall, over a half-mile away from the Fllicott Complex. Why then aren’t similar complaints aimed at the Pub dealt with in a similar way? As a resident of Wilkeson Quadrangle 1 am forced to listen to disco music on Wednesdays and to loud rock bands on the weekends; not to mention the frequent, middle of the night fire alarms pulled by intoxicated patrons of Mr. Hoise’s bar. Why not move the Pub to Talbert Hall? In closing, I ask for total student support in a boycott of the Pub. IRC is now running busses to the'local bars. I urge you to take advantage of this service.

God votes are only a by Jay Rosen This came special delivery today Dear students of SUNY Buffalo First off, allow me to say that I hope our little misunderstanding these past four years doesn’t jeopardize our friendship. No. I am not naive enough to ask you to forgive and forget. One or the other will do. In any event, since I assume we still share mutual respect, let me qualify some of the things 1 said in the heat of battle Friday. When I mentioned that I once walked beside Bobby and A1 Lowenstein in protest of the Vietnam war, I was not attempting to skirt the issue of UB's incomplete campus by appealing to my perceived anti-war fervence among you. You see, Bobby Kennedy bless him was a real devotee to physical fitness, as I's sure you know .1 am. And while A1 Lowenstein was a trifle uncoordinated, he too knew that exercises like walking were important for a strong mind. Which is why I want your gym built and why I’m going to try to attempt to propose that the Governor's office arrange a meeting where a student representative can present a draft of a proposal to allow the posting of a hearing where, in front of each member of my custodial staff, the student body can move, in executive session, to force consideration of an informal recommendation to vote on an ammemdment to the state education law that would, for the first time, make hearings like this completely public. This is my commitment and when I give you my word, you can count on it. What I mean to say is that, the more you know the facts the toucher you are to confront at a ground-breaking session, which is my way of congratulating the students on a job well done. You see. I’ve been in favor of this rapid transit line since it was first approved and readied for construction almost one week ago. Now, on the issue of the Syracuse dome and the allegation that 1 was attempting to “buy votes” by approving it. That charge is utterly baseless, potentially libelous, brutally slanderous, hopelessly porous and frankly ridiculous.

You know in your hearts that I have always been committed to the Amherst Campus. 1 was the man who made sure there were doors in Ellicott when designers wanted to seal the students forever inside. 1 was the one who suggested the bubble be constructed totally of-recycled biodegradable fibbed condoms. I was the one who pushed for a Governor's residence halls so the latest wing would be named after me. Yes 1 did. Speaking of wings, on the helicopter ride back to the airport, one of my aides asked me why I didn’t wade through the crowd shaking hands and kissing babies like I do so well. I told him that for one thing, I didn’t see anything that looked even remotely like a baby, which is not to say that 1 didn’t see things worth kissing, if you know what I mean. (1 have gone on record in favor of state funding for blow-dryers). Also, the crowd was holding signs and they were too close together and most of them had their hands in their pockets and they didn't look like the hand-shaking type and besides. I’ve consistently opposed the death penalty. All of which is somewhat beside the point of this letter, which concerns tomorrow’s election. I understand my opponeht, Mr. Duryea, was quite pleased with the events of Friday afternoon. He must feel he has some sort of-rapport with young people. But if you look at the facts, the plain hard you’ll find that figures, the numbers, the record since 1974 Perry Duryea has had about 34 percent - more gray hairs per scalp-inch and the gap between his head and mine is widening.

To those with any knowledge of international and Middle Eastern affairs, this is an absurd statement. Zionism is the national liberation movement of the Jewish people. It is the oldest national liberation ''movement in history. The Palestine national Covenant calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. It demands self-determination for the Palestinian Arab people but in Article 20 of its charter it flatly denies the inalienable rights of the Jewish people to a homeland. The message is clear in this covenant. We cannot have peace and the PLO at the same time. Information Center ’ Chuck Guizzotti Mike Pellicone Boh Henning The Israel Candidate 3: No a Fallsfest.

A set of courses would be developed the in each of three major distribution fields student choosing which one to take. It might be argued that comprehensive courses could only skim the top of the discipline, leaving the student with nothing but a fleeting grasp of the subject matter, but it should be noted that most of us usually retain only a small amount (usually basics) of what we leam in class anyway, the rest of which ascends to that great storehouse of knowledge in the sky.

While possibly not the most important issue in election campaign, the availability of health care services to students is the type of issue with serious practical impact. I have recently upcoming inquired of politicians running for office locally concerning their positions for the Michael Hall Dental Clinic, a preventative dental clinic. The Clinic, which was closed due to lack of funds last yeaf and most of this year provided x-rays and diagnostic work, cleaning of teeth and fluoride treatments, emergency dental care and other preventative dental services, free to students. It was also a site of training for the dental students and allied dental health personnel. M. Volker (58th State Senatorial District-Repubican) has agreed to support a high quality, well utilized clinic program, as has been run in the past. Senator Volker expressed a genuine concern for the needs of the University students, in general and in the field of health care. It was quite refreshing to discuss this issue with an obviously — US Congressional District-Democrat) is investigating methods of garnering federal support for such a program, and is assiting in gaining access to the HEW bureaucracy. Several year ago, the Clinic was operated with funds from a federal grant. His prompt response to my request for information is a credit to his method of effective handling of problems of his constituents. Mrs. Laverne Hoover (56th State Senatorial District-Republican) considers dental care important. She has suggested a student user’s fee to help subsidize the Clinic program. The Michael Hall Dental Clinic is now operating under an abbreviated schedule. Its hours are Monday 9-12, Tuesday 9-12, and Thursday 9-12 and 1-5. Appointments can be made by calling 831-5341. If you believe that this is a valubale service, please use it and support the local political hopefuls who have been concerned enought to state a position favorable to the condition of student health services on this campus. Brian Weiner - �m feedback i Other endorsements r The International Coalition, feeling the necessity to participate j the SA elections, invited all candidates to address them. They were given the opportunity to express their perceptions of the student'' needs, their understanding of student government, and of Universitx policy and practices. They were also asked to present their platforms The following represents an objective, candid and honest evaluation oi the candidates. President Karl is willing to work, he expresses an interest in the International Coalition. He did not presen a concrete proposal indicating the manner in which he could effectively remedy SA’s recent turmoils. He felt that the impetus for changi should come from those students and student groups that wen affected by the problem. He sees the president in rather narrow terms He does not feel that it is the'president’s responsibility to effect smal changes. He seems to lack a definite and clear framework which wouh facilitate a higher level of student involvement. His attitude toward international and minority students is not progressive, because he fail to see the need to makeconsiderational of the needs and problems o international and minority students in SA prioities. For these reason we do not endorse the candidate. Karl Schwartz — Turner Robinson understanding of Executive Vice President He evidences a dear the problems affecting both minority and international students as well as the majority of SUNYAB students Hu has a great deal of experience with the workings of SA. He has been SA minority affairs coordinator and a member of Sub-Board 1, Inc Board of Directors. He evidenced a strong desire to act on issues and to bring about changes. He appears to be the most credible candidate lor the position of executive vice president. We strongly endorse the candidate. Joel Mayersohn - Executive Vice President He did not appear to have independent views but merely reflected the views of Karl Schwartz. Evidencing dedication, he nonetheless showed a definite lack of understanding of the issues facing the students today. He seemed to - any be unprepared for the position. We do not endorse the candidate. Ed Guity Vice President for Sub-Board I, Inc. He was minority affairs co-ordinator and also helped establish the minority programming board in Sub-Board. His goal is to make Sub-Board more efficient. He feels that Sub-Board is not providing the quality of services which it can and should. He is'aware of the problems which currently exist in Sub-Board at the higher and lower bureaucracies of the organization. We endorse the candidate. - Jane Baum Vice President for Sub-Board I, Inc. She did not show up. Our previous contact with her shows that she does not have a clear understanding of the problems of the international and minority students. We do not endorse the candidate. - ING OUT OF BUSINESS! 50%off assorted books at Squire and Ellicott (Hard and Paper) Dana Cowen 1 Treasurer He showed organized thinking in responding to the questions. He showed a progressive attitude and expressed an - interest in promoting student participation in every aspect of student government. He showed a clear understanding of the role and importance of the education which a student receives. He seems to be fiscally responsible. We endorse the candidate. James Killigrew Treasurer He did not come and we have no knowledge of where he stands on the issues, therefore we do not endorse him. — Scott Jiusto — Director of Student Affairs He expressed an understanding of and knowledge of the problems existing within the University structure and the drastic changes which have taken place. We endorse the candidate. 99C Books now 50© each at Baldy and Squire Assorted paperbacks Diane Eade Director of Academic Affairs She had effective and good ideas but seemed unwilling to take an active role in mobilizing student opinion. She could not state in definite terms that students should have a say as well as a decisive role in academic planning. Although many of her ideas and plans sounded good and were well intentioned they seemed to be impractical. Thus it seemed that she had little understanding of what can be done. We do not endorse the candidate - Sheldon Gopstein Director of Academic Affairs He did not come, but in consideration of his dealings with us in the past he has been receptive to our ideas and ideas from other students. We support this candidate - Te tbo ' Barry Calder Director of Student Activities and Services He has a very limited view on the nature of student activities and he has not much to say about the quality of the programs being offered. Although we think his idea of bus trips to state parks is a good one, we don’t feel he has a clear understanding of how to integrate all students into activities, (outside of beer blasts), which we feel is so badly needed on this campus. We do not endorse this candidate. - Carlos Benitez — Director of Student Activities and Services Although Carlos did not show up, we feel he is aware of the needs of the International and Minority students. He has shown through his previous eflorts a receptive and open attitude towards students. He has been accepted as a candidate by both the hpic and Advocate parties. We support this candidate. I‘°r those candidates who were not present at the meeting, we based our opinions on our knowledge of their previous stands. We fell we should state our views on their candidacy; though we cannot officially endorse them, we offer our support.

Lippes continued. “Niagara Falls was booming and there was a tremendous need for schools." The Board of Education wanted to build a school in the area of the canal, he explained, and Hooker sold the desired parcel of land to the cap Spectrum Stall ItV/'/ir representation, I Board for one dollar. The construction, of the school continued, in spite of recommendations by the Board's lawyer against it, due to the chemical hazards, Lippes informed. While the school was being built, he elaborated, the builders hit a pocket of chemicals. “They too went back to the Board whose only reaction was to move the site 10 yards,” he said. No thought was given to the young children who would attend school there, and children are the most susceptible to toxic diseases, the attorney added.

The attorney explained that as the homes were built, the clay cap was broken and Commuters! the process of contamination accelerated, Comparing the canal to a bathtub, Lippes claimed that the cracked clay cap caused water to seep m, raising tha water table.

"Oh, how nice," Carey continues, as he steps into the trainers' room, "A whirl pool and two training tables for the coaches." "That's not for the coach, Mr. Governor, that's for the athletes. You should see it when 80 guys want their ankles taped at the same time;" "I see. And is that room over there where all the old equipment is stored?"

"Yeah, it's kind of nice, but you know they deserve it, they're big time." - „ The recruitment problem sits in the laps of the UB coaches. Shackled by Clark Hall's inadequacy and the lack of any scholarship offerings, they have little to attract athletes. Baseball coach Bill Monkarsh can boast a respected Division I program and Ed Michael can point to last year’s National Championship wrestling trophy, but the others are not as fortunate. Even Liz Cousins' charm loses some of its effectiveness in the face of Clark Hall's decadence. "By letter I can encourage a player to come to the University of Buffalo, strictly on program," the women's basketball coach related, "but the minute she steps foot on this campus and looks at the facility, our only facility, I might as well say goodbye." She is just not interested in coming here under these conditions," Cousins stated. Getting athletes here isn'rt the only problem. The dropout rate is climbing, and as Cousins noted, the reasons are not solely academic. Dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education Jack Perradotto agrees.

'There's no doubt in my mind that the lack of adequate gym facilities is one of the major factors." However, Richard Siggelkow, Vice President for Student Affairs and head of a task force designed to study the attrition problem, did not agree. "Even though I'm anxious to improve the gym, the recreational impact is not as great as I thought it would be," he said. Ten years late "Everything was stopped when the fiscal crunch hit the State of New York two and a half ago,” years explained. Neal was Money appropriated for construction of the gym many years ago by the New York State Legislature, but that money must be approved by the Division of Budget (DOB), "And that's where the approvals have not been forthcoming." Neal said. Money has been approved for work on a 10,000 seat fieldhouse Phase I of the new gym and Neal expects bids on the contract to be advertised next month. After that, it should take about 30 days to receive bids and another month before the contract is signed. On that schedule, ground will be broken for Phase I around February 1; and by February 1982, the fieldhouse should be ready for use neariy 10 years late. But Phase I will include only a basketball court, seats, locker rooms, six handball courts and a few offices. Lacking will be a pool, three small gyms and a wrestling area all scheduled for inclusion in Phase II. That project is currently stalled in the schematic stage. "There's another year's worth of cfesign work to be done on that before we can hit the market to build it," Neal said. "We have been told that it’s going to be re-started any minute," he added, "but whether or not that's true, I don't know." Phase II will be finished, Neal estimated, about three and a half years after design work is reinitiated. Until then, UB has requested funding for a second air-inflated recreational facility, to partly ease the need here. But the request for that money is in next year's budget, and Neal doesn't expect a verdict until April. If approved, the new bubble would be erected adjacent to the current structure on Amherst, even though varsity practice schedules currently make open recreation on Main Street almost a forgotten concept.. "I don't have a place to put the new bubble on Main Street," Neal stated. However, he said, that problem could be circumvented by simply moving the practices to Amherst, Yet such stopgap measures hardly provide relief for students, who will be long gone by the time the doors to the new gym open.

Carey tried in vain to begin speaking as students aired their most inventive slogan of the day: “Half done. How come?”. Remarked the Governor: “You’re making it difficult for the taxpayers of New the York to justify the building gym. This frankly is what I've been asking for across the state for the last four years. I’ve been asking the students, the faculty and the intellectual leadership to sound off.” Chaucerian English Carey, presumably attempting endear himself to what he perceived to be the radical nature to of the students, explained how he "Stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial aud walked in a district with Robert hawk Kennedy and A1 Lowenstein to stop the War.

The crowd roared in abusive laughter as Carey searched for help and (setter recoiled in embarrassment. Attempting to correct himself, Carey adjusted: “OK,OK. President Kilter." After the ceremony Ketter remarked that the incident was “rather humorous," but allowed that “the Governor has to repeat a lot of names Recovering from the gaff, Carey asserted that he has been fair in his statewide allocation of funds and that “There is one word that I have introduced into the lexicon of higher education, and that word is parity Further defending his Syracuse support the Governor argued that tuition a the private institution is higher than at Buffalo but that despite the state’s financial woes he has increased TAP payments. “Yes we did.

UUAB had over eight sell-out concerts and still lost 553,000 dollars. If it were my job 16 make sure thafSA money is used more efficiently, one way would be to research the amount of student-non-student ratio who buy tickets because much of our student money is used for non-students.

The problems then seem not to be personal, but reflect the ineptitude present of the administration. 1 1 appears evident that the present administration is one suffering vindictiveness, from coupled with this is a lack of concern for the student body, or else they (officers of SA) would have been able to transcend their petty odiosyncracies, and deal for the betterment of SA services to the students. they But think this is Washington, D.C. and they’re out and self-aggrondizement for making decisions to masses. control the They don’t see SA as I do, and as I have repeatedly, stated, I see SA as a student service oriented organization Fully understanding the duties of the Treasurer and understanding the fiscal policies of SA as well as that being qualified to deal with the office successfully, is a fact which has been stated by The Spectrum prior to this article. But, just as important is the fact that I see myself as a student; also I am very sensitive and responsive to- the needs of students. The problem, as I see it, is not one of qualification, for most are capable of handling positions they sincerely students most desire. The problem, as 1 see it, is what does one want to do with his/her qualifications. Do you want some hard-line leftist administrator, who runs people away from the office and from their (student) organizations; or do you want someone who js student oriented, thus bettering increasing and services to students, and a sense of belonging and a desire to help, learn, and be involved. James Killigrew. The role of treasurer in any organization is to be the fiscal watchdog. As treasurer of SA, 1 would try to insure financial integrity in SA through the following policies. First, I will randomly spot , check and audit the books of various SA organizations. In the past, many times organizations would not have their books checked for a long period of time. When the organization’s books finally were audited, sometimes receipts would be missing and funds would be unaccounted for. I feel that if the organizations knew that they could be checked at any time, they would be more aware , of their financial responsibilities. Next, 1 would try to establish an inventory of the equipment owned by various SA clubs. In the past, there has been no inventory and people could just walk off with things purchased with SA money at the end of the year. Also, I would see to it that the financial priorities committee does review the spending of the various clubs this year. If the Financial Priorities Committee SA determine which organizations are making effective use of their funds and the future does needs of the various organizations, then the Finance Committee and Financial Assembly will have a better idea of how budget lines should be drawn. This will help.to insure a smoother budget process. Finally, there are "many other ideas that I have, but will only mention here. These include evaluating the SA office budget, and taking a critical look at the Sub-Board accounting system. By the adoption of policies such as these, 1 feel we can make SA a more effective organization for all the undergraduate students at SUNYAB. Director of Academic Affairs ' Diane Eade I am running for Director of Academic Affairs because 1 feel there is a definite need to broaden the responsibilities of that office. At the present time, the Academic Affairs Task Force is working on publishing SCATE and presenting student awards for excellence in teaching.

For that position, 1 had 60 hours of training specifically about different facets of this University. 1 am not a scared little girl, and I Want to help SA out of its present mess. Sheldon Gopstein The key to input and influence organized advocacy. The is the Student organization is Association and the advocates are those students who we elect to represent us in SA. SA should hear the collective voice of the student body and act as the channel through which'“Student opinions are voiced. SA officials stand as the concerted effort to organize and promulgate student Mass demonstrations interests. and mass campaigns are effective means of lobbying, but they are extremely difficult to mobilize and coordinate. Students must be informed and stay abreast of the issues. This is mainly our own responsibility as individuals. Once the desire to be influenced and to influence decisions has been nurtured, there are various ways to attack the academic bureaucracy. Attend and speak up at Faculty Senate meetings. Attend and speak up at Student Senate meetings. . Get involved with the General Education the Committee, Springer implementation committee (concerning the 4 course load), the DUE Curriculum Committee, the President’s the Board, College Review Council. All of these meetings are open to the public and most of the committees need students to fill committee seats. The way to attack a monster is to get at its vital parts. The issue of input -and is a basically influence motivational problem. It is easy to sit back and let things slide, but I’m not about to and shouldn’t either. I have and will continue to fight for university-wide course and teacher evaluations. I have created the SA Teaching Awards to reward teachers for teaching, not for doing research. I presently sit on the President’s Board for Tenure and Promotion. I have had a myriad of meetings with Dr. Bunn, Dean Peradofto, President Ketter, etc. concerning a broad range of topics from SCATE to study psace on Main Street. The way towards influence is to present convincing arguments about what students need at this University. I’m doing that. Director of Student Activities and Services Carlos Benitez My name is You all know Director of Services.

The Spectrum quoted, “I have experience.” The reason I chose not to mention more specific suggestions was because that wasn’t the criteria for endorsements according to last year’s endorsements.

In voting select the qualified, most fair and interested candidate. I would like to take time out to wish all candidates good luck and let the best man or woman win. Barry Calder It has been quite difficult to keep the momentum going for these elections due to the restraining order two weeks ago. But the student body has to get back into the swing of things and vote. I’ve already stated several of my ideas during the last couple of weeks. Here is a brief run thru of some of them. Being inler-collegiate athlete, I know how important it is to have proper funding for sports. Right now, Albany Stale has cut hack certain dubs because their SA can’t handle the financial burden. Their SA is working with SASU to see if some, or all of their athletic funding, can come from the State. I would like to work with SUNYAB and SASU to see if UB and the other state colleges and universities can gut the assistance too. A post office is needed out at the academic spine area in Amherst. Although there is a post office at Fllicott it is difficult for many students to get over there. Free day bus trips in the spring, run once a week to state parks, would let students get away for a day of romping in the woods. Anil once a month beer-wine blasts would alleviate some tension from too much lime at the hooks. These are some of my ideas. Time (250 word limit) docs not allow for further information. But just remember that there will never be changes unless students show their feelings. So please, come out and vote./ regarding SASU, our views on the questions posed by The Spectrum editorial staff coincide. Therefore, have chosen to make the candidates a joint endeavor. In order to protect student we this University center, an organization to keep abreast of what is happening in Albany. Vital decisions are made interests at we need every day in the legislature, in the governor’s office, and in the SUNY Central Administration. It woul; be difficult, if not for each impossible, student government successfully to the intersts of their protect students separately. Furthermore, it would be fiscally infeasible for a single student association to establish their own lobbying organization. A major premise of SASU is to present a unified coalition of students; separately, SA’s could not have the same impact. SASU is an established group, those in Albany 'as the -organization representative of recognized by 350,000 students. In addition, SASU has the experience and the resources which are drawn upon students and legislators.

COMPLIMENTS OF - U/B Athletic Department �sports < Coast Guard Bears Bulls beaten 29-25 despite strong air attack by Eric Smith Spectrum Staff Writer UB NEW LONDON, CONN. Jim Rodriguez quarterback launched a spectacular air attack against the U.S. Coast Guard Academy football team, but when the battle was over the Cadets - were still victorious by the score of 29-25. A touchdown in the waning moments of the game gave the Cadets the winning margin. The loss dropped the Bull’s record to 3-5. Memorial Stadium, Cadet which rests on the banks of the New London, Thames River Connecticut, was the arena where Rodriguez threw 30 completions in 41 attempts for 417 yards in the air. All those totals broke UB records. Bulls scored first when sophomore defensive back Kent Keating broke through the Coast Guard line at the 20 and blocked a punt, the ball deflected off Keating and rolled out of the CG end zone for a safety, giving UB a 2-0 lead. UB later regained possession on a Larry Rothman fumble recovery at the Bulls 31. Wide receiver Frank Price then made on over-the-shoulder grab of a 34 scoring from yard strike Rodriguez. Buffalo led 8-0. The Roaring Bears J-6, came roaring back. A reverse on the kick-off gave the Cadets good field position at their own 40. On a second and eight, CG quarterback Mark Feldman found his favorite receiver, S’5” Alex Simonka, for a first down at the 50. One play later Simonka came back for a Feldman pass at the 15, dodged two defenders, and scampered in for the score. A successful 2 point conversion tied the score at eight with 3:5Sleft in the first quarter Just two minutes passed and the Bear scored again. Simonka took a Kevin Groody punt at the UB 44, broke two tackles and fought his way down to the Bulls’ 23. On the very next play Feldman found fullback Fred Pendleton wide open over the middle for a 23-yard touchdown pass. The extra point kick made it 15-8. Buffalo was again forced to punt on their next possession, and the fired-up Bears, playing their last home game of the season drove in for their third TD of the first half. On a fourth and one at the UB 22, Quarterback Feldman surprised the Bulls’ defense by passing to halfback Tony Radecki who was stopped at the three by safety Bob Constanza. Fullback Pendleton then sliced through the UB line on a counter run up the middle, giving the Bears a 22-8 lead just a minute into the second But the Coast GuardBears, now quarter. But the Bulls came charging back. From the CG 47, Rodriguez connected with split end Gary Quatrani on one of their patented touchdown bombs, pulling UB back to within 7 points of the lead. With 2:15 remaining in the half, Buffalo took possession on their own 47. An 1 1 play, SI yard drive set up a 32 yard field goal by Steve Pawluk, and the Bulls went into the locker room trailing 22-18. Buffalo continued to dominate as the second half opened. From his own 47, Rodriguez faded back and lofted a pass down the right which the speedy Quatrani pulled in at the play later, Price made a diving catch in the end zone. The extra point followed, giving the Bulls a sideline 25—22 lead with 9:30 remaining in the third quarter. Two Mark DiFrancesco interceptions led the Bulls defense in shutting down the Cadet passing game, while the Buffalo air attack kept the UB offense on the field for half. On the most of the second day Price caught 8 112 yards, while passes for Quatrani grabbed 10 (tied school record) for 196 yards (previous record 144 yards) and 1 TD. - Ouch! But, Dando as UB head coach Bill admitted, “All those impressive statistics didn’t put points on the board. We had our chances to win this one, but we just couldn’t nail it down.” Mistakes, such as a hobbled snap on a field goal attempt, hurt the Bulls. And twelve penalties, mostly for holding and illegal procedure, cost UB 120 yards, stalling several drives. The Bulls were irate over the officiating, A clipping penalty was called on UB when there were not even any Buffalo players in the area of the supposed infraction. 3; 58 remaining in the the Cadets gained possession on their own 22, after a holding call stifled a UB drive.

Nonetheless, the Bulls managed to improve over last year’s 41-14 shellaking received at the hands of the Cadets. Coast Guard head coach Bill Hickey commented, “Buffalo has made fantastic progress both offensively and defensively. My hat goes off to Coach Dando and his staff. I’ve never faced a better passing attack.” This, Saturday the Bulls play their final home 'game of the season when they meet Alfred U.

FOR MORE INFORMATION CALL 636 2497 to net first cc home victory by Paige Miller Special to The Spectrum it took time, but the volleyball Royals finally scored their first home win, and in the process snapped a seven match losing streak. UB topped Genesee Community College 15-13, 15-12, 15-9 Thursday to bring their season’s record to 9-25. The win was all the more impressive because the Royals were the antithesis of the team that had just lost seven straight times. They played as a team, they played intelligently and provied tha they could come from behind, erasing Genesee leads in each game. And as so often happens, there was rto individual star. “Judy Bardak was on, Debbie everyone had a good night. It was fantastic,” said Bateman was on Royals junior Wanda Mesmer, who had a fine night herself. Buffalo’s first comeback began when they were trailing 13-8. Bateman scored on a serve to start things off. Buffalo’s next point came when a Genesee player touched the net. Bateman then scored on a serve and Bardak made two blocks to tie the game. Two mis-hits by - Genesee finished the game. The Royals fell behind 7-1 in the second game, and again the comeback began with Bateman serving. Later, freshman Sheri Loessl served three straight aces to put Buffalo on top. Mesmer spiked sharply and blocked two Genesee shots as UB battled back. Heads-up play In the third game, Buffalo rallied from a 6-2.hole, outscoring Genesee 13-3 to win the game and the match. Almost every Royal contributed to the surge. Mesmer began it with an ace, Leri Hansen set the Lu!? well and Akemi Tsuji had a few spikes and two consecutive blocks. With Buffalo leading 13-8, Royals freshman Maureen Strick’s serve was out but she made up for it two plays later with a heads-up play. She was about to return a Genesee spike, but then thought better of it and the ball landed about a foot out of bounds, returning the serve to Buffalo. Tsuji’s serve barely cleared the net and Genesee couldn’t handle it. A bad spike by Genesee ended the game. What accounted for the Royal’s improved performance? Coach Peter Weinreich felt the team was more relaxed. “Genesee wasn’t as strong as some of the other schools we’ve played. The pressure was off,”he said. The team's confidence also returned, Weinreich noted. Mesmer also pointed out that the Royal’s plays were working well, primarily due to the special attention paid them in practice. There was also a psychological factor. “The girls really wanted to win,” Mesmer said. “We were frustrated.” The Royals regular seaston ends tomorrow night against Mansfield and perennial rival Fredonia. Game time is 5 p.m. at Clark Hall. �Speedy returns n nickels isn’t ripe.

There are many cartoned, bottled and canned “It is that kluger explained. contracts with CTG. - ; enough." informs Consumer Reports. Most popular among juice lovers is reconstituted frozen orange juice. Because it's concentrated, it’s usually cheaper because manufacturers don't have to pay to ship water to the processing plant. But no one can deny that the best tasting orange juice is the kind you squeeze youself. Which oranges should you squeeze? The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) grades oranges and if the fruit is still in the crates, look on the sides for this grading. For example, oranges from Florida are graded Fancy, No. 1 Bright. No. 1 Golden, or No. 1. (f grading is of no help, let your eyes and fingers make your decision. Don't accept any oranges with physical decay, soft spots, cuts or skin punctures. Avoid fruit with dry looking, spongy or very rough skin. Select oranges that are smooth, heavy and firm. “Don’t judge an orange by its color,” says Consumer Reports. Since Florida oranges don’t possess the same bright color as the California varieties, growers and manufacturers often dye them." A green orange doesn’t necessarily mean it varieties from which to choose. All frozen orangejuice concentrates are blends of juices from different varieties of oranges The juice sold in cartons is chilled and not necessarily blended from different varieties. Depending on which orange happens to be in season, the quality of juice in cartons may vary. The people at Consumer Reports bought and tested two nationally popular samples of cartoned juice: Minute Maid and Tropicana. Consumer Reports informs that the Minute Maid brand along with “other juices from concentrate," is actually a frozen product thawed, diluted and remixed. Tropicana is a bit different. Although Tropic Annie says “squeezed from fresh oranges.” she fails to fell you when they were squeezed. The USDA sgys Tropicana blends “current squeezings with frozen whole juice held from previous crops." Consumer Reports says they can get away with it. “Because the blended in juice wasn't concentrated before being frozen for storage, so the resulting blend doesn't have to be labeled ‘from concentrate implemented.” No commercial stations The proposed election night operation under Delta directs that new tape data available at CTG is transmitted to the Ridge Lea Cyber 173 computer, which then sends the data to a channel 17 terminal from which the new information is printed.

Communications of two years ago centered on Asante himself and his role as chairman. The strife, according to Petrie, was based on “different philosophies” regarding the role of the chairman'.

Never again will students have such a crystalline opportunity to confront with as much public attention and impact the man who has, at times, made life miserable for us all. Today, at 4 p.m., the Honorable Hugh Carey will hike up the Main Street Campus front lawn for the ground-breaking ceremony adjacent to the Abbott parking lot. With every area poiitican, banker, labor leader, big business executive and civic father in the audience, the ceremony promises to be the biggest media event of the year in 'yr Buffalo. And with the election only four days away, statewide attention will be focused on the grassy hill only steps away from Squire Hall. ~ Governor Carey is arriving in Buffalo today to attend the official ground-breaking ceremonies for the Buffalo Rapid Transit System. The ceremony will be held directly off the Abbott parking lot, near the circular drive that connects to Main Street. This afternoon, right here, the long-neglected students of SUNY Buffalo will appear out of every corner of the University to confront Carey face-to-face with their reasonable, rational, simply-understood stand — The demonstration will begin Squire Hall fountain area. a completed campus. —The key to the demonstration is to attract Governor Carey’s and the public’s attenffmrto the facility shortages oiv our campuses. Every effort must be made to keep this goal in mind. The demonstration will proceed in an orderly fashion and maintain a firm but reasonable posture. And Hugh Carey, who has turned his back so many times to the needs of the scholars and students here, will have to look this University squarely in the eye and face the victims of his neglect. The demonstration is open staff. There will be no interference with traffic, pedestrian or \ (" ceremonies -The demonstration is being organized by Student Association, NYPIRG and The Spectrum.

Despite the late hour of the strike, buses were on University grounds at 7 a.m. Director of University Busing Roger McGill explained that Blue drivers picketed outside University grounds. Blue Blue office personnel and njanage'ment officials drove the Blue Bird buses while three other bus companies were called in to uphold Blue Bird’s contract with the University. By mid-afternoon, only one company the Tonawanda Bus Corporation was crossing the picket line; leaving seven of the morning’s 23 buses without drivers. THe normally tranquil process of busing [ students was broken )iy reports of rock-throwing, deliberate interference in bus runs, and a near run-down of a pickeler by one angry driver. The two sides accused each other of a host of "dirty tricks” as management used every means available to,keep the buses rolling and labor allegedly attempted to slow down runs. A frazzled Roger M :Gill, Director of Busing, remained on the jdb for 40 hours straight as the University’s middle man in the at-times bitter dispute. At press time there were no negotiations scheduled; and McGill was bracing for several days of disrupted service. A “performance bond” between the University and the Blue Bird Bus Company requires that Blue Bird fulfill its obligation to transport students between the Main Street, Amherst and Ridge Lea Campuses. Although the University legally can bind Blue Bird for full service at no extra cost strike or no strike University Director of Busing Roger McGill explained that “mall service has been cut and bus service after 11 p.m. has been cancelled until the issue is resolved.” — - - - Bus drivers walk out; service 5CI VK-C mildly UIM upicu IMIIUI/ disrupted as strikers hit campuses decision is reviewed— P. 4 all students,Taculty and to vehicular, and the demonstrators will not attempt to prevent guests from teaching the ground-breaking Through all the warped finances, unpassed legislation and reshuffled priority lists; through all the broken promises, maddening delays and the unceasing refrain: there comes a time when "no money" right and wrong and fair and unfair present themselves very clearly. That time is now. The link between the University’s three campuses weakened early Wednesday morning when Blue Bird Bus Company drivers went on strike after contract negotiations deadlocked. Buses continued to run between campuses as SWJ 3:30 p.m. today in the The organizers will explain the picket line procedure and will furnish signs and banners.

Three buses stopped University runs. A personnel. “In fact,” McGill said, “we had 23 buses rolling in the morning three more than usual.” For a few hours everything ran smoothly as the four companies carried students from campus to campus. However, picket lines sprung up on both Amherst and Main Street by the striking drivers and problems began. Grand Island drivers fearing decided against crossing the damage to their buses picket'lines three buses stopped University runs. A spokesman for Grand Island, Tom Weeks told The Spectrum: "We told the drivers that at any appearance of any rough stuff they should pull the buses out of service.” He said, “It’s not worth it to risk the valuable bus equipment.” Midway through the afternoon, the Cottrell Bus Corporation told its drivers not to cross the picket lines at either campus. The drivers stopped picking up passengers and just drove from campus to campus, stopping on the Bgiley entrance for Main Street and Millersport Highway entrance for Amherst. Soon after that, Cottrell pulled out its five buses completely leaving McGill with only 16 operating buses. “Things happened so fast today,” McGill commented. “At one point everything was running smoothly; then total chaos.” - — - - — ~ , Hugh Carey is coming to town The man most responsible for splitting our campuses, fragmenting our lives as students, frustrating our teachers and ripping apart any sense of academic community here Violence and obstruction McGill explained that UB’s role in the strike is two-fold: first, the University must see that Blue Bird fulfills its contractual obligations; and second, if Blue Bird fails to provide service then the University must step in and do whatever is necessary fo keep things functioning.

However, 'in this election year, the two leading gubernatorial candidates, Democrat-Liberal Hugh I , Carey Republican-Con ..native and Perry B. Duryea, have ti lay la remark ible talent fur avoiding the issue with a profusion of conflicting claims, statistics and character attacks.

Duryta claims to be the “fathf- of the Tuition Assistance Program” noting that TAP is the it, st “progressive” program of its kind Carey the nation.” in acknowledges Duryea that introduced The legislation creating TAP in 1974, “but I refuse to think of Mr. Duryea as a father figure,” says Carjy. Duryea alleges that in 1976 Carey advised a ten percent cut in TAP to the State Legislature. “Fortunately these cutbacks did not occur,” says Duryea “The Legislature responded with a $25.1 million increas".” over and above the Governor’s proposed -, reduction. c denies this saying instead that he was responsible for raising not cutting the minimum TAP award from $100 to $200. Furthermore, Carey has recently vowed that he will repeal the mandatory $17 Health Services Fee. Duryea also Has pledged to repeal the Health Fee and plans to further his political child, TAP, through a bill he introduced last year. Th? TAP Improvement bill would allow part to receive TAP aid they previously were ineligible for If elected Carey governor Duryea promises to “make the TAP Improvemnet bill a priority in the higher education program.” Ironically, Carey has Carey claim \ D awards as> Sfjte Board of Regents d tady a pioposal very similai .o yea’s bill which he says he will the Legislature if it h the Regents approval, Rv-n i* i- Regents disapprove, tb;, he still might introduce such a >ail.

Plans include the installation of three Multiplexing Systems, one on each campus. Sites for the operation include: Crosby Hall on the Main Street Campus, Furnas Hall on the Amherst Campus and the Computer Center building on the Ridge Lea Campus. According to Whitlock, each system will be initially equipped with Timeplexers, which “allow up to 96 individual temtinals or computer ports to share one high speed communications channel.” According to Vice President of Finance and Management Edward Doty, the estimated $242,000 to pay for the initial equipment was not included in the SUNY Supplemental Budget request to Albany because the University’s request was “already too large”. Doty told The Spectrum that money needed for the new system would be pulled from excess appropriations for other departments. by Bill Swanson Spectrum Staff Writer - - Dury*a Computer costs increase ten fold due to telephone rate jump fp meets >» Jolted by a New York Telephone rate increase, the cost of the University Computing Services (UCS) phone lines, which link campus terminals to the central Ridge Lea computers has increased tenfold. The annual $18,000 charge may jump as high as $180,000 this year, therefore, UB has opted to install its own, permanent, multiplexing system. The University requested $242,000 in additional money in the State Supplemental budget for this replacement system, but the money was not included in the SUNY Central request and therefore never even discussed by the State Legislature. Currently, computer therminals are located throughout the three UB campuses and all information must be rela> to the Ridge Lea campus via phone lines.

She said, “MFC instructors would have to work harder to earn as the day much as school teachers. The Administration, however, is unwilling to let MFC instructors teach more courses because they would have to increase MFC's budget by 50 percent.” Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn admitted that the 15-20 hour per week workload prohibits graduate instructors from earning more money. He said, however, “We’re trying not to overload TAs jjnd GAs so they can teach and maintain their studies as well.” According to Anthropology Chairman Frederick Gearing, Anthro grad students are teaching three courses per year. “MFC gives our department X number of courses to be offered and we have the option of giving them to any students we want. We’ve been giving the teaching positions to our higher level grad students who are close to PhD’s and they’ve been earning less than day school TAs.” Anthropology grad student Hal Foss, along with several others, raised the parity issue last September when they Circulated a petition within MFC to evaluate grad student sentiment. “To our surprise,” said Foss, “the department wrote a resolution that MFC Grad students be given $1600 and full tuition waiver to be presented to the Graduate Student Association (GSA). It would be nice now if the resolution was adopted and presented to Ketter.” Graduate instructors in MFC presently receive $930 for each course they teach and are expected to work no more than 15-20 hours per week. Day school graduate assistants, however, receive $1550 Lowered further per course and are also expected to work 15-20 Bunn was unaware of Anthropology’s three hours per week. course workload.

Music budget slash strikes a ‘sour’ note by Cathy Carlson Spectrum Staff Writer The University Music Department is singing a sad tune these days as continual budget and faculty cuts plague the program. Despite an increase in enrollment the Music Department budget is still being slashed. Music Department Chairmen William Thompson said, “The Faculty of Arts and Letters is experiencing deceasing enrollment so the Administrative cuts are passed down to the various departments.” Vice President of Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn put a freeze on faculty hiring last week, according to Thompso i. He explained that the moratorium on faculty hiring has created serious problems for Music because 50 percent of Music Education’s staff is gone, and the Department is unable to start its recruiting procedures for new faculty. Bunn explained Music’s faculty cuts, pointing to the nation-wide trend towards pre-professional and professional vocations as reasons for the drop in enrollment in Arts and Letters. He said, “They are swimming against a perpetual tide.” Sour notes Dean of Arts and Letters George Levine agrees that the “flight from the humanities Jp vocational and professional programs is a national phenomenon.” He maintains that some reasons for the trend are unique at UB. Split campuses and the fact that most professional programs do not require Arts and Letters courses, are both contributing factors. Bunn added that the University is facing the prospect next year of further cuts in faculty lines. The cuts could be as much as seven percent, though he cautiously added, “It is up in the air to how much.” Not only is faculty in short supply, but so is the Music Department’s service personnel. Levine noted Music needs more secretaries, but “their hands are tied because they have to maintain a certain quota of vacancies.” He explained that the University is mandated by SUNY Central to keep a certain number of vacant positions open in effect, an unofficial budget reduction because no one is paid for these positions. The Music Department is required to keep two secretarial positions vacant''said Thompson. Terming the quota “ridiculous”, Thompson claims he has tried to have the quota lowered, which met with a negative response. Bunn said that the Administration is currently reviewing distribution of support staff, but that they have not concluded the review. The results will be available later this year, he said. - — Raindrops keep falling Music is currently functioning out of two buildings, Baird and Pritchard Hall, both on Main Street campus. This split has not only heightened the secretary shortage, but has introduced new problems. Thompson remarked, “With the physical set-up, we can’t get by with the current number of office staff and faculty.” The buildings presently being used by Music are sub-standard, according to Thompson. He remarked, “With the buildings declining, the student and faculty morale is also deteriorating.” The corridor and practice room ceilings are “crumbling asbestos,” he said, and have been labelled a potential health hazard, but have yet to be repaired,. “Nothing is ever done because of executive constipation,” Thompson quipped. Although it is estimated to take at least two years, plans for a new Music and Chamber Hall building on the Amherst Campus have been r approved by SUMY Central. The real problem, according to Thompson, stems from the fact that the various performing arts “are not recognized as having different needs.” He commented, The Administration finds it hard to understand why there is a need for selective recruitment in Music. The Department has to recruit people skilled in particular areas to achieve a balance,” Thompson informed. “The band cannot function with all flute players. p He suggested that the Administration works on the erronous assupmtion that UB’s Music Department is going to attract a variety of students. Another need Thompson claims is being ignored is the Music Department’s desire for a traveling budget. “Average touring budgets for chorus and bands for similar schools are $12,000,” Thompson “Ours is zero.” claimed; J TST f’nef-vic-n ■ t'.i.r 1 , »!v ... “ Take A Delightful Ride Through The Mon-fri. —Sheer CRAMPED QUARTERS: Chairman of the Music Department William Thompson attempts to clear some much needed space in Baird Hall.

In the wake of the one keg limit placed on beer parties at Fargo Cafeteria, the University Alcohol Review Board (ARB), responsible for alcohol distribution and sale on campus, is searching for a linked to system that will deal with the'vandalism problems student drinking which have plagued UB buildings this fall. Recent complaints from Ellicott Complex residents and the University Colleges have led to the restriction of large parties (four kegs or more) in the Talbert Hall dining area. “We can’t stop vandalism by moving the parties to a new location,” asserted Mike DiTomaSto, Vice President of Inter-Residence Council (IRC). “We must pose an alternative that will enable us to control the drinking of the students, such as handing out a certain amount of tickets limiting the amount of drinks per student,” he said. The tickets would protect the University liquor license by placing a limit on Student drinking, and thus a limit of vandalism, it is felt. “I have nothing against getting drunk; I’m concerned about my liquor license,” commented Hosie. Discussing the increase of vandalism related to alcohol abuse, ARB Chairman Anthony Lorenzetti said, “I think it is quite feasible that the University will lose it’s liquor license which will lead to an increase in problems.” - - Lorenzetti continued, “We are not acting responsibly to the rights of the student if we enforce stronger controls on the students by following them around after the parties.” JAPANESE FAMILY RESTAURANT \1/]} — J ENJOY Truly Japanese Cuisine • TER1YAKI YAK1 SOBA TENPURA SUKIYAKI MORI AWASE HOTSAKE FRIED ICE CREAM • • • • • • FULL DINNERS FROM $2.60 Open Tuet.

Dan Bowman General elections ok’d Mixed reviews forSWJ ruling by Harvey Shapiro Contributing Editor “The term general elections only means that the undergraduate student body, all the members ofSA, can vote in the election,” .Gopstein claimed. “The proper means to use a general election is during the recall procedure.” Gopstein also disagreed with the Court’s belief that the general election was an evaluation of the administration. “If it was an evaluation then all our names should have been automatically placed on the ballot, but this was not the case,” Gopstein related. “Anyhow, the proper means of evaluating an administration is through the referendum procedure.” Schwartz concluded, however, that the Court was correct in its interpretation. “The provision for new elections is a safeguard against an ineffective administration,” he said. Schwartz added that he doubts future Presidents will abuse the privilege. “It’s a good precendent,” he said. “Also, there can be no abuse of the privilege as long as the President puts his office in jeopardy.” The Student Wide Judiciary’s (SWJ) opinion into the constitutionality of former SA President Richard Mott’s call for a new general election received mixed reviews from Monday’s winners and losers. Acting SA President Karl Schwartz, Monday’s victor, called the decision “correct and straight forward. The opinion of the court concurred with Schwartz's logic. “I was hoping they would agree with the way I answered the charges,’’ Schwartz said. “I knew 1 was within my constitutional guildeines in holding the elections.’’ SA Director of ’ Academic Affairs, Sheldon Gopstein, who came out on the short side in Monday’s hearing, carried on a vigorous dissent in an interview with The Spectrum. “Generally, I think the SWJ has set an ugly precendent,” Gopstein said. "Unfortunately, the justices did not have as good a grasp on the entire situation as the participants in the hearing.” Gopstein added that it was “absolutely absurd that the SWJ used other Constitutions to support Karl s position.” Gopstein claimed that the Court ignored other examples of prior precendent. “Two former SA Presidents, Steve Schwartz, who represented the plantiffs, and Frank Jackalone, said that no President has ever had the power to call for a new election.” Q. ae on p rase . “xif C -i Mott resigned C , i C ° d C rCSI *^ se on l^ie mean n 8 of the h aS thC rieht t0 cal1 for f rendum The Court > U j' 8 an infermxtpr^tt. 10e meaning re^ to l . ,- " - t at general elections PU *, eaC ice up ,or a vote - The rCourt m i denied the pla.nt.fTs’ contention that the th the tire S,Uden body V0tes r » L ° MS ,i'!!

May 8. 1978 The May meeting of the College Council. With the Ketter furor still near its peak, Whiting motions for a special committee to look into the charges. After debate, the Council relents and rejects the motion but votes to schedule a special session to discuss the matter. May 10, 1978 University Attorney Bradford sends the 1976 opinion from Lefkowitz to Millonzi. Bradford’s signed letter includes the implication that Whiting's motioning rights may be affected. Neither the Legislature’s amendment of June 1977, nor the SUNY memo of a month later is mentioned. May 19, 1978 The Council holds its special session, Ketter is given a unanimous vote of confidence. The investigation consists solely of letters sent to the Council by Ketter’s supporters, Whiting objects to no avail. May 24, 1978 The Council is recessed for the summer. Millonzi sends a copy of the 1976 attorney general opinion to Student Association lawyer Richard Lippes, for Lippes’ information. Millonzi asks Lippes to look into it. September 1 1, 1978 Millonzi informs the Council of the 1976 opinion and instructs Pierce that he no longer will be allowed motioning power, September IS. 1978 The Spectrum reports on the history of the student rep’s motioning rights, noting the legislature’s amendment that protects those rights. October 9, 1978 Pierce’s right to make and second motions is restored at the October meeting of the Council. Millonzi terms the matter “an oversight” noting that he had informed SA lawyer Lippes of the 1976 Attorney General opinion five months before. SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton October 12, 1978 responds to SA Acting President Karl Schwartz’s request for an investigation and sends with his letter a copy of the July 1977 memo from the SUNY attorney that notes the Legislature’s amendment protecting the student rep’s — A memo from SUNY-central dearly protecting the motioning rights of the student representative to the College Council was sent to University President Robert L. Ketter and former Council Chairman William Baird more than a year before the Council stripped those rights from current student rep Michael Pierce, The 1 -Spedrum has learned. A copy of the memo, recently sent to Student Association (SA) Acting President Karl Schwartz by SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton, shows that both the Council and the University were informed in July of 1977 that, by state law, the non-voting student member to the Council has the right to make and second motions. In September of this year 14 months later new Council Chairman Robert Millonzi received an obsolete 1976 opinion, of the state attorney general and, using it, informed Pierce he would no longer allow motions from the student rep. That outdated opinion was sent to Millonzi by Hilary . . Bradford, the University attorney. — — - — . — - , Rendered obsolete Pierce’s motioning rights were later restored when his investigation and The Spectrum's detailing of. the event made it clear that a 1977 ammendment to the state education law specifically protected the student rep’s motioning rights and rendered the 1976 attorney general interpretation obsolete. The Spectrum reported September 15 that Bradford, the University’s official legal representative, sent the outdated opinion questioning the legal right of the student member to make and second motions on May 10, 1978 during the height »of the controversy whipping around President Ketter. The Council had voted two days earlier to conduct its own investigation into charges of widespread disenchantment with Ketter. Cynthia Whiting, then the student rep to the Council, had motioned at the May 8 meeting to create a special council committee to review various allegations against Ketter, which were being reported in the Buffalo media and in The Spectrum. The motion was not seconded, but the Council did then agree to conduct an inquiry at its next meeting. Two days later, Bradford sent the outdated opinion — The chain of events nowreads like this: 1976 State Attorney General Lewis Lefkowitz sent an opinion to SUNY* Attorney Walter Relihan, noting that the non-voting student representative to the SUNY Board of Trustees does, not have the right to make or second motions. Since similar principles are involved, the opinion was later interpreted at other SUNY units to remove the College Council student members’ motioning rights. This is the opinion that, nearly- two years later, would return to strip Michael Pierce of his motioning June 14, — rights. May 24, 1977 The State Legislature amends the state — College Council Chairman Robert Millonzi education law to add Section 356.1 that specifically protects the right of the College Council student rep to make and second motions. July 22, 1977 SUNY Attorney Walter Relihan sends a memo to all SUNY Presidents and all College Councils explaining the new amendment. The memo explicitly states that the student rep’s right to make and second motions is protected by law. July 28, 1977 The memo from SUNY Attorney Relihan is received by President Ketter. Copies are sent on August 8 to Executive Vice President Albert Somit, Assistant to the President Ron Stein and College Council Chairman William Baird, according -to Stein. Bradford, the University’s attorney, was not sent a copy of the memo, Stein said. April 17, 1978 The Spectrum following more cautious reports in the Buffalo Evening News and Courier Express reports widespread disenchantment in the day before the Ketter administration and calls for the Council to initiate Ketter’s removal. Student leaders jump into the controversy. At a College Council meeting the same day, student rep Cynthia Whiting makes a motion asking the Council to discuss the matter in public session. New Council Chairman Robert Millonzi reserves discussion for — - Wharton’s one paragraph letter to Schwartz read: “I am advised . . that this was merely an oversight.” Schwartz, noting he was not contacted by Wharton, was hardly convinced that the Chancellor’s investigation had cleared the air. “It’s reassuring to know,” Schwartz sneered, “that the Chancellor is such a watchdog of equity and fairness in the SUNY system. The least he could have done is to contact the parties involved.” “1 am not accusing Dr. Ketter or Bradford or Millonzi . -x>f deliberately improper actions,” Schwartz continued. “But the situation clearly deserves a superficial investigation at least. “This was probably orte phone call.” Millonzi told The Spectrum that he was not, sent a copy of the SUNY-central memo outlining the student rep’s rights and thus was acting on the obsolete 1976 attorney general opinion in removing Pierce’s motioning powers September 15, He stressed that SA’s lawyer was informed of the attorney general opinion and was invited to research it.

In a colloquium sponsored Wednesday the School of Library by Information and Sciences, James related his experiences of fighting for his first amendment right, freedom of speech. An he learned in exercising a hard lesson freedom of speech, “you go through five years of anguish.” — E 7" 7* 7* Suspended and fired James had been a Methodist Minister prior to becoming a teacher. On November 14, 1969 a moratorium was held at the highly conservative Addison school located outside of Corning, New York. As a Quaker and a man of deep religious beliefs, James decided to wear a black armband to the school, believing “it won’t offend anyone and would show my position in regard to the war." The result of this expression was an admonition by the principal of the school that James was “corrupting the youth” in “an act against the President of the United States,” Before he could say, “Give me liberty or me death,” James was give suspended. The teacher then went to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) chapter in Ithaca, New York, which asked for James’ reinstatement. The school, never responded to the ACLU request but reinstated James due to a lack of faculty. The however. case was not closed, A second moratorium followed on December 12,1969, and James was once more faced with the decision of whether to wear the popular anti-war symbol. “If I didn’t wear it, I would have been saying that they (the school board) were right, and I was wrong,” James recalled. With that, he pinned the black armband to his sleeve. The principal was waiting at eh door for James’ arrival, that day. When he took off his topcoat, revealing the armband, James was immediately fired. Trials and tribulations The following five years were a confusion of courtrooms, lawyers, and appeals. Much of James’ time was spent unemployed, and financial support for his wife and four daughters consisted of welfare. James worked as a truckdriver, a janitor, and as a philosophy teacher for one semester at Ithaca College. Twenty-two months later, after an unfruitful visit to Rochester to appeal the ruling that favored the school’s decision, James appeared at the Circuit Court of Appeals in New York. His anguish over the trial was apparent. “They do all they can to get you and drill you emotionally,” James related. On one hand, th? school and lower court insisted that he wore the armband to make a political statement, which sought effect through action. Conversely, James claimed that the armband was a purely religious act, expressing a statement he felt had to be made. The/ Circuit Court ruled that James was within his rights to calling it wear the armband , “abenign symbol.” James looks back upon this period of his and his family’s life alternately laughing and crying. Referring to the first amendment, he commented, “We should make people in responsible positions take responsible views of these myths,” he told the audience. “I’m a coward now,” he admitted. “There are alot of things I don’t say.” �.ciayfridayfridayfridayfri Elections, cont.

To the Hditor. As a result of a comprehensive article in the student newspaper at SUNY at Buffalo and editorials in other local newspapers recently, the student body of the Dental School at SUNY A B has expressed disenchantment and concern over the inadequate financial support of ouf school-by the state. Like most divisions by the University at Buffalo, the Dental School suffers from large inequities and insufficieffeies in funding from Albany. Particularly galling in our case, however, is the apparent lavish and generous funding afforded by the state to theldental school at Stony Brook, the only other dental school in the SUNY system. For example, why can’t Buffalo dental students rent state-owned instruments as is done at Stony Brook? This incredibly unfair policy costs each Buffalo dental student about $4000 more in his four years of study than his Stony Brook counterpart. This is not even to mention the $18 million appropriation received by the Long Island school recently while Bob Basil Sports Mark Meltzer Asst David Davidson The Spectrum is served by College Press Service, Field Newspaper Syndicate, Los Angeles Times Syndicate, Collegiate Headlines Service and Pacific News Service. » Dental students on inequities The Spectrum is represented for national advertising by Communications and Advertising Services to Students, Inc.

Buffalo’s dental school was allotted a pittance. We have one of the best dental schools in America; nevertheless, continued inadequate support ' from the state will lead to a worsening of already crowded conditions, a lowering of quality, and further loss’of valuable faculty. When one considers that our upcoming accreditation review (March, 1979) will focus on the serious erosion of our funds, especially in light of the facilities, and faculty one prolific spending lavished upon Stony Brook has to doubt seriously SUNY at Buffalo’s ability to maintain its top ranked status. The Dental Student Association is hopeful that these gross funding inequities and the urgency of the problem can be brought to the forefront. The people of Western New York pay the same taxes to Albany as do those residing on Long Island; it is high time that Buffalonians get a fair return for their state tax dollars through growth and dvelopment of local - - institutions.

Each semester for the last two years Sister Virginia, Principal of St. Mary’s, has served as a volunteer for leader the Life Workshop, “Communication and the Deaf.” The workshop content typically covers language and special problems of the deaf, basic use of the manual alphabet, demonstrations with deaf children, and discussion of the educational, social and vocational implications of deafness. Nearly 300 UB students, faculty and staff have participated in and benefitted from her three week series to date. Her dedication to and the excellence of her work is impressive.

Carole Hennessy Reporting Carter straight Carter: discouraging on disarmament When Carter stopped in Buffalo we were lucky enough to be there but upon reading Joel DiMarco’s article “Carter endorses Carey here’’ we came to the To the Editor. Anyone watching the 6 o’clock TV news on Saturday, October 28, would have seen us. Members of the Western New York Peace Center were there when President Jimmy Carter spoke at the Buffalo airport. In an attempt to communicate with the President, we held placecards reading “No Neutron Bombs” and Zero Nuclear Weapons.” We felt that it was important to speak out because the President’s record on disarmament issues is at best a mixed one. Jimmy Carter campaigned on a platform calling for military spending cuts. In his inaugural address he noted the dangers posed by the arms race and called for progress toward the elimination of nuclear weapons from the face of thfc earth. Yet the President’s first two budgets called, for increasing the amounts of military spending (up to around SI20 billion this year), far beyond what is actually needed to provide an adequate defense and deterrent for our country Jimmy Carter’s excessive military budgets unnecessary have fueled inflation, caused unemployment, contributed to a larger national debt, reduced the amount of funds available for needed social and environmental programs, and perpetuated the dangers of the escalating arms race. We hailed the President’s decision to stop the production of the multi-billion dollar B-l bomber system,' but we were discouraged by his reasoning and the consequent support he gave to the Cruise missile, another new and unnecessary nuclear a weapon even more dangerous weapon system than the B-l. — In our opinion, the Carter Administration deserves much criticism for its treatment of the UN Special Session on Disarmament, held in New York City during the months of May and June, 1978. Then, 15,000 people flocked to New York to demonstrate support for the Special Session. But not only did President Carter fail to address the historic international gathering, he chose the time of the Special Session to announce a buildup of NATO forces. His “get tough” talk brought back the Cold War and all its dangers. Perhaps Carter’s acquiescence to the arms race is shown no more clearly than in his support for the neutron bomb, the so-called “people-killer”. This weapon is not needed for defensive purposes. It is a the provocative destabilizing weapon, and deployment of which will increase the chances of nuclear conflict. Tragically and unbelievably, the threat of nuclear war is always with us. In the coming years, the threat is likely to increase as the spread of nuclear power technology results in the proliferation of nuclear weapons. The future of the human race is in jeopardy. That is why we were at the airport calling on Jimmy Carter to move toward “zero nuclear weapons” with much greater spped, and commitment. If you are wondering what you can do to help, here are two suggestions. First, drop Carter a line at the White House. He needs to know that the arn*s race is an issue and that voters are waiting for him to exert real leadership for disarmement. Second, contact us at the Western New York Peace Center, 440 Leroy Avenue, Buffalo, New York 14215 (835-4073). We have an ongoing disarmament campaign and can always use more help. consistency, Walter SimpSon the state had taken care of it. That remark is astonishing to anyone that is informed on the Love Canal crisis. He did not recognize the anti-nuclear protestors. A large anti-nuclear movement is growing in Buffalo and countrywide and while writing meaningful articles on West Valley, The Spectrum seems to overlook the struggle on thfe local level. DiMarco, in his article centers about the Mideast crisis but that was only a minor point in Carter’s speech. The president spent a lot of time supporting Carey (although he didn’t Include any swaying arguments, he just sort of blindly cheered him on. For instance, glorifying Buffalo and the blizzard, and how when it happened Carey called him on the phone and they were able to send help. We know it took a long time for any action.). We criticize the whole ideology of the article. DiMarco fails to analyze Carter's message and the true nature of the event. We are tired of this bland coverage in the name of being non-partisan. saying that To the Editor. conclusion that DiMarco couldn’t have been there or else there’s deliberate fabrication involved. We would like to give our view of what happened. The event was very poorly publicized before hand (on purpose?) and when we got there we were surprised how small the crowd was. It consisted of: (.leading democractic politicians, 2. the press, 3. Democratic party people, 4. Secret Service, police, S. a large black choir, 6. Kenmore West H.S. marching band and 7. about 100 concerned citizens. DiMarco refers to the general bedlam, confusion and rainsoaked pants of the crowd. Well, it only started to drizzle at the end and the scenario was far from bedlam. In fact, the crowd was quite conservative. Carter got a good reception and everyone was able to catch a good look at the president. DiMarco talks about the people from the Love. DiMarco, by taking an apolitical stands instead of Canal Homeowners Association. Here he makes a giving an honest appraisal of the speech It promoting major error. There couldn’t have been more than a Carter's policies of corporate expansion at the handful of protestors there. We saw one rather expense of human needs. What we got out of the obscure sign. DiMarco states that when Carey asked speech is that he glossed over issues that directly for the people to lower the signs he was referring to affect people (such as his reaction, or lack of to Love the Love Canal people. He also says Carey said Canal, No Nukes, etc.). Instead he preferred to “—the President has seen them. We have already preach to his audience (who he knew was largely composed of leading Buffalo Democrats) on U.S. stated that we will do all we can for you.” Carey said nothing of the sort. All he said was “Please lower strength in domestic and foreign affairs. Carter clearly denied tfiat there is a crisis as far as your signs so everyone con see the president.” Furthermore, Carey was not referring to the nine or unemployment or inflation goes. He chose instead to so anti-nuclear weapon protestors whose signs were harp on sustaining corporate profits and military undoubtedly predominant in the crowd. (Other signs read: USW supports Carter, LaFalce, Carter, etc.) This obvious mistake means to us either that DiMarco was not on the scene and he got the information from a second source or is he so against anti-nuclear forces that he will deliberatly falsify information? The one significant thing about the Love Canal business there was that at one point a woman in strength. To a student of this University looking ahead to entering the job market, Carter’s speech is a stab in the back. More corporate profits at the expense of jobs, We hope our letter provided an alternative to the weak coverage offered by The Spectrum. The popular-news media is already slanted, why can’t our school newspaper report it straight? back of me militantly shouted, “What about Love Canal?” The president heard it and subsequently included it in his speech, or rather glossed over it, Hoyt Michael Schwartz Liz Boronow clarifies To the Editor. I am writing in regard to an article entitled, “Taxpayers bear toxic burden of West Valley nuclear waste,” which appeared in the October 23, 1978 issue of The Spectrum. I found the article to be generally well written and very informative. I am concerned, however, that one passage of the article may have left a false impression regarding a bill which I have sponsored. The opening paragraph of the article talks about both a federal waste repository bill and a bill before the New York State Legislature which 1 have sponsored. The federal government, in a recent report, has that federal financial assistance for the solidification of the high-level radioactive wastes at West Valley be conditioned upon acceptance by New York' State of a permanent waste repository. This approach'has quite rightly been labeled “nuclear by Energy blackmail” New York State Commissioner James LaRocca. Federal assistance in solidification, which is estimated to cost more than $500-mUlion, Should not be conditioned upon the acceptance by New York State of another unproven technology, that of deep-well disposal or solidified indicated Coordinator, Western New York Peace Center I lid , i t i . > nuclear wastes. My bill (A. 12305) is designed to deal with the problems of deep-well permanent repositories. This bell provides that no deep-well repository shall be permitted within New York State unless the Legislature, with the concurrence of the Governor, approves of such a facility. The bill requires reports, public hearings, and recommendations by several state agencies prior to the Legislature considering the issue. the issue of the very firmly believe location of a permanent waste repository whould be separated from that of the fate of the West Valley site. The state should not be force to accept the waste repository which would have health and environmental implications for literally hundreds of thousands of years because of financial pressures imposed by the West Valley disaster. 1 introduced A. 12305 in pant because of my desire to separate these issues. This bill passed the State Assembly in the 1978 session, and 1 am hopeful that when it is reintroduced in 1979 it will be passed by both the Assembly and Senate, and signed by the Governor. !

This included students having problems with Alcho-Drug Abuse, Arthritis, Blindness, Cancer, Deafness, Diabetes, and Impaired Speech and Vision Students with Emotional, Neurological, and Orthopedic problems are also in the program, along with the Multiple Handicapped. There are only three staff members and 50 students employed on an hourly basis. The one service that was up to my expectations was the note taking. With my auditory problem, I can’t gel the message that is communicated to me on paper; therefore, I need someone to take my notes. The only reason the note taking is going well is because I found two conscientious students willing to help me. However, there are some aspects of the programs that don’t live up to my expectations. Ther service for the handicapped mandates that you have your paper done three to four days in advance of its due date, if you want to take advantage of the typing service. I am not able to take advantage of this service because my papers are assigned on a weekly basis, which would leave me only three days them mine. In addition I have to supply my own tapes. The student that is taping for me is also taping for four other students, so it is understandable why I am behind in all my courses except English. There is even one class where I have yet to receive any tapes! These problems should not exist, I should be given the same chance to learn as everyone else. Now I am seeking assistance from other organizations such as the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation and the Association for Children with Learning Disabilities; I hope to find assistance from them in the future. There is a chance two years Buffalo's program for the handicapped Arpay end, since the grant runs out then. The state" would have to fund the program if it were to continue. I was led to believe that this school would be able to handle all my needs. Up till now, I have found this true but because of the lack of readers, staff, and most of all money, the potentially excellent program for the handicapped at UB isn’t what it should he.s. I’cter Titlehaum Student loan-some To the Editor. Last Wednesday I got good news in the mail my student loan. Since the check was made out to me and SUNY Buffalo, and since I am one of those who has all his classes and activities on the Amherst Campus, it meant a special trip to Main Street so that the Bursar’s Office could endorse it. Not happy about it, but not much choice. When I got there I decided that the safest thing to do was to go get a statement of my fees from the information window, since I am a C.A my tuition had been waived. The figure they gave me reflected no such waiver. I informed them that the figure was erroneous and that I had a waiver. They told me that there was no way they could verify my claim, because although they had the waivers in the office they were not in alphabetical order and they did not have the manpower to look for mine. I then asked for a statement of my fees which the woman gave to me verbally, but refused to give me in writing. From there I went to the cashier window. The woman at this window repeated that as far as they - were concerned I owed the full tuition and fees. I had been prepared to pay my fees, hut not fees plus tuition besides could anyone tell me when I would be reimbursed for the tuition? The woman showed me a regulation requiring me to turn over my loan check. She then asked me why I had not brought my fetter informing of my waive. Ilct tone and words clearly implied that I had been somehow negligent in my responsibility by failing to bring it. The point of all this is that we are now half way through the semester and 1 was attempting a simpletransaction. I had fulfilled my obligation by filing the waiver within the first week of the semester and a month and a half later it still had progressed littlefurther. Moreover, the Bursar's Office attempted to shift responsibility by implying my negligence. The problem was only resolved by yet another trip to the Main Street Campus the following day. Does that office not exist as a service- for the- students? They do not seem to feel so. Do they sincerely seek to improve relations with students? All I know is that once again I came away from there angry. «s, * • This law * is th. > not i.— only * .-v * J. V dangerous in its implications, it is also absurd. The sponsors knew all along that the State Health Department considers the law unconstitutional and that the State most likely will not certify it. Even if it could be signed it is still meaningless, since most women in Niagara County who need abortions come to Erie County to have them. These legislators are using our tax money to build their careers by pushing simplistic, authoritarian and unenforceable laws. If they were serious about their responsibility to their constituencies, as well as sincere in their moral opposition to abortion, they would start dealing with some of the root causes of the rise in abortions. Problems such as teenage pregnancy, the increase in rape and child abuse, birth defects caused by industrial poison and radiation and the simple fact that it is getting harder every day to afford or support a large family in these inflationary limes are not solved by repressive measures aimed at the poor and powerless in society. The problem will not go away because sixteen men in Niagara County are thinking of (heir restrictions on teenagers and married women with no independent income, as well as on doctors, is a cynical attempt on the part of its sponsors to impose a moral view on the people in this area and to hack away at the most important of women’s rights reproductive freedom. The decision to have an abortion is a highly emotional one to begin with. To call mandatory sessions, in which women are grilled and guilt-tripped over their decision, “informed consent” is to make a mockery of both the medical meaning of the term and the democratic process these men are supposed to be upholding. Genuine informed consent on the issue of abortion is a desireable goal, but in Niagara County today the term is used to mask an ordinance that would be at home in a police state. As such, it is part of an attack on abortion rights that is nationwide in scope and heavily backed by both the right-wing and the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. Informed re-election. In the face of laws far more repressive consent, to really mean something, must be based on than this, women throughout history who have two things: accurate information of sexuality, needed abortions have found ways to gel them pregnancy and contraception for all women, and the Niagara County would limit women’s choices lo a guaranteed right to choose an abortion as the life of enforced motherhood, the butchery of alternative to an unwanted pregnancy. It is exactly backroom abortions or the finality of sterilization. this freedom of choice that the Niagara County ordinance attacks.

Susan Turner Claudia Lawrence Put it here, Cavage To the Editor In response to Monday’s article about the Record Co-op and Carl Cavage’s lawsuit, 1 would like to add a few things. It seems to me that Carl Cavage can’t handle the simple theory of competition. That’s tough. If the students can save a dollar or two on an album, why not. We are on a limited budget and are going to spend our money as wisely as possible. If his prices were competitive, which they could be since he deals in such quantity, then he would have no problem. I can’t speak for others but as for myself, the Record Co-op has not taken my business away from Cavages. The man shows obvious symptoms of greed and that’s plenty sad when he owns a multi-million dollar business. I’d like to personally tell Mr. Cavage where he can put it. Stu Chaiken Bombing out To the- Editor. Glenn Bowman’s article in Friday Prodigal Sun was quite interesting. However, he made one small mistake: the United States used b-52s to bomb North Vietnam, not B-29s. The B-29 was the four-engined, propeller-driven aircraft used to bomb Japan during World War II. The B-52s used in Vietnam were eight-engined, jet-propelled aircraft. The only airworthy B- 9s possessed hy this country in 1972 were those owned by private groups, such as the Confederate Air Force.

I’ve had cars cut me off as they turn into streets a foot if front, making it necessary for me to swerve out into the middle of a street when I didn't know what was behind me. It was either that or hit the car at fifteen miles per hour. I’ve had cars blast their horns in my ear to get out of the road.

He came about once a month to ‘get two revitalized’; the youngest years old came with her mother who was asking for help,” she — - said. The atmosphere of 67S belies its function.

Wrong again the Ramones and Blondie have much more in common than a) being New York based'bands; b) having been consistently more successful in Europe than on their home soil, and c) both having their lead singers appear in the underground classic “Monster Beach Party” (as newlyweds, no less!). Both of these bands, with their fourth and third releases (respectively), have shown developmental direction and an aggrandizing maturity that eclipses the faddish appeal that has sprung up around them. The Ramones especially have been able to widen their appeal considerably, with their bazooka approach (which was unique and original no matter how you look at it; they were the first and remain the best) offset by a never-before-heard of gaggle percussive toys, lead guitar (heavens overdubs and to Murgatroyd!) acoustic guitars. Yep, the same band that brought you "Beat On The Brat” and "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue” delivers the Searchers’ classic "Needles and Pins" with as much conviction, if not more, than any cheap-shot angst-meister could.

If the Ramones don’t satisfy every member of the listening audience with "Road to Ruin" (hoping that the Pandora's Box called FM radio doesntt spring any more goblins on them), then all it will prove is that media manipulation has reached its ultimate level of effectiveness. Those oflen-malcvolent powers-that-bc have prevented a truly original band (and that’s the key phrase) from being able to carry on the true message of rock and roll. Fun is what it's all about, people, and the Ramones know it. Their music is not just a hip vogue. It’s rock and roll, and rock and roll is celebrating its second decade. That’s hardly what you could call .passing fancy.

Their accompanyment recalls every ’60s favorite from the Rascals to the Beach Boys. Yet they are never redundant. This is the quality that both the Ramones and Blondie exhibit with power and grace. They arc simultaneously adventurous and faithful. Many bands can’t seem to avoid being too closed in or too far out. After a couple of albums they become too rigid or ambitious, thus losing sight of their original objectives. Don’t let them fool you the Ramones aren’t making records just because they ’'wanna have somethin' to do.” Nor are Blondie in this business to tease you with little girl lies.

' , Catching Rays Piew club, music turned-on Buffalo A Toronto radio station holds a contest; the winners, numbering three hundred, assemble and are taken on a bus ride, destination unknown. When it is all over, this elite bunch find themselves within the confines of the El Mocombo, watching the Rolling Stones create a scene ten years old. Monday evening 1 trekked to Toronto, to the El Mocombo, where Todd Rundgrcn and Utopia exchanged energy with the1 first of two sellout audiences. Todd reminded the audience of things they will never forget, "O.K., so we’re not the Rolling Stones... but I bet you’re sick of bearin’ about it anyways." When you think about it, however, seeing Todd and Co. under the same circumstances (minus event on a number of levels. Or the magic bus ride) parallels better yet, just having a group the caliber of Utopia is quite indicative of the quality of talent brought nightly to the El Mocombo. Anyone familiar with Rundgren’s status of the past few years knows of his ability to fill large arenas with performances that incorporate everything from fire-breathing sphinxes to highly polished video trips imp lands surreal. But Rundgrcn is no different from other performers who crave the alternative of Intimacy and spontaneity (surely no different from the extreme cases of the Stones, who have at times billed themselves as The Cockroaches in order to play small clubs) that a mid-size club like the ■» i. El Mocombo has to offer. Early Tuesday morning I re-entered the .of Buffalo. 6ut I am not totally depressed,’ contract between Toronto and Buffalo undoubtedly exists; people actually mill about the Canadian city at night, street emotion converts into electrical energy Ji^tyi^yjihe,countless number of flickering neon lights. It wa$ a Monday evening ahd'the excitement that surrounded the El Mocorrtbo alonfc Was more than downtown Buffalo sees on any weekend. Still, I am not totally depressed. Recently, Ttarvfty and Corky purchased the dub known as Patrick Henry's, located on Main Street near Transit Road. Their projected plans provide the most realistic nod towards something along the lines of the El Mocombo, the likes of which this city has never seen. Prior to this increased activity at Patrick Henry’s (among which have been recent appearances by 1994 and. David Johansen, with performances soon by Blondie and Brand X) various area clubs provided either random promotion or bands of select breeding: the consistent Belle Starr Lodge with acts like Muddy Waters and Grinderswitch; After Dark’s occasional staging of people like Nick Gilder and Starcastle; the Dead Boys, Toots and the Maytals, the Talking Heads (soon to appear) and Willie Alexander at the Spectrum. The potential that has been expressed by people involved at Patrick Henry’s is that of four national acts a week, showcasing talent that will extend from Cheap Trick to the Charlie Daniels Band. Patrick Henry’s (probably to be renamed Stage One) will create the alternatives that other clubs cannot, while providing the Buffalo with the desirable situation of the El Mocombo: top billing entertainers in an intimate atmosphere. Whereas places like the Belle Starr require lengthy drives out to Golden, Patrick Henry’s becomes more accessible to students, located on Main Street in Clarence. After Dark or McVan’s will simply annex this area’s expansive for the music scene with their random placement of bands. Spectrum, although I respect its immediacy, as well as the fine packaging of New Wave and Reggae music there, I find a night of drinking there to be beyond the financial capability of your average college students1; I’m not so sure that this is trivial when one must pay $1.25 per beer after already shelling out $3.50 just to get in. No one can be absolutely certain of the outcome of Patrick Henry’s; it is still too early to tell. And although the action will again be alien to the city limits, if the projected planning of Patrick Henry’s connects, we just might find Stage II lighting a third neon bulb in downtown Buffalo. If you’ve ever seen the beauty of the El Mocombo, you can only hope it takes form here. Keep aware.

But of an silent" some Colvin. i si). X 1ST •AG moguls of Hollywood believe themselves justified in smearing the screen,with gratuitous gore and blood-letting as long as the incidents are based on real life. from the true Adapted of who Billy Hayes experiences was imprisoned in 1970 in Turkey for smuggling, Midnight Express is an unrelentless assault on our sensibilities. Violence and degradation appear almost from and grow beginning the progressively worse.- Midnight is an Express open-ended crescendo of squalor. Granted, Turkish prisons are horrible hell holes but do we need to be subjected to the fact for two excruciating hours? I thlnjc most of us are aware of the situation already and don’t need this gory education. But it becomes clear that Hollywood’s intent is not to educate us but to give us a titillating scare. Midnight Express looms darkly above the viewer, gurgling blood and gall. The film is lurid rather than horrifying because it attempts to incite horror through hyperbolic manipulations. From the very start, rrxdirector. Alan Parljcr overplays his hand. To express Billy’s fear as he straps bars of hashish to his chest, Parker fills the soundtrack with Billy’s labored heartbeat. The electronic score, written by Giorfgio Moroder, is screeching-and weird. Casting Brad Davis is an obvious-ploy. Davis is not merely attractive; he is beautiful. And if anyone so much as squints at hirti, we’re offended. With his puppy dog eyes and athletic figure, anyone who could torture him has to be an incredible monster. Voyeuristic thrill Another reason for Davis’ casting as Billy Hayes is to accommodate an undertone of “threatening” homosexuality. Homosexual rape is a common theme in modern prison films and Midnight Express picks up on this in the first 15 minutes. After being arrested, Billy is forced to strip and stand naked before his captors while they eye his fair, firm American flesh. Later, to save himself from being raped by his fat Turkish warden, Billy tackles him. The warden falls back and, impaling his head on an ornamental spike, slides to the floor leaving a slimy trail of blood and brains on the wall. This death is horrible but it is obvious that the threat of rape is supposed to more than justify it. Still, the film does make a feeble distinction between homosexuality and rape. While in prison, Billy becomes friends with Eric, a blonde-haired lovely from Scandinavia. Parker spends quite some time working up to their lush, voluptuously photographed kiss in the shower only to have Billy pull back and make a kind refusal. If Billy doesn’t engage in homosexual acts while in prison, why include this sequence at all? mais Bmy The slobbering, spume-flecked §U)M APRJ L 13 m Good seats available _ “~Ninr YORK.

It is no mistake that Eric is the only other attractive person in the prison. Parker dangles Eric in front of Billy (and in front of us) to show us what a good boy Billy is and to give us ,a voyeuristic thrill as well 1> But prison gets the best of Billy; Parker shows us his decay by having him go berserk and kill the prison guard who turned in hi$ friend Max (played by John Hurt). Billy accomplishes his 1 murder Jb& slamming the-guard #. steps and then f»pp: into stone bjting off his tongue. The camera lingers on Billy’s blood drenched face as he spits out the tongue in slow, motion. For this murder, Billy-li put into the section of the prison for the criminally insane. The ward is filled with old men rubbing their genitals and lurching down septic corridors, mumbling to themselves. While there, Billy’s girlfriend comes to visit him. To exhibit his abasement, the film has Billy demand that she take off her blouse while he masturbates himself like an animal. > ' * actually transpired and therefore it’s okay, even laudable, to show it. But is it? Midnight Express is a glossy Hollywood product. The excellent photography of Michael Seresin and the superb pacing of director Alan Parker give the film a dramatic rather than a factual artifice is"? tone-! Tft e used to evoke a gut not to inform.

Still, none of this will prevent people like Gene Shalit and Rex Reed from praising Midnight Express as a film which ‘‘packs a mean wallop.” And it does but in the original sense of the term. Watching Midnight Express is like being hit on the head repeatedly with a two-by-four or having your face slammed into a stone wall for two hours. ., ; Evoke a gut response Promoters and defenders of the film might counter this by pointing out that this is what I I MESSAGE FROM SPACE Sat.

Onstage, bassist Nick Lowe is given equal time in the spotlight with Edmunds. Lowe’s “So It Goes" is the second song of the set, and by the end, Edmunds and Lowe are about 50/50 on lead vocals. And yet the two sharing the spotlight is a visual fascination, as well as gum-popping ear candy. Picture Edmunds, his choir-boy face framed in waves of blonde hair, all in black but for his red tie. His reticent demeanor is offset by that of Lowe, a swinging jester, a harlequin in black and red, pin-straight hair as much in his eyes as Rollins ' out. They weren’t on their feel, but the audience was bopping visibly for the duration of the set. Especially outstanding were Chuck Berry’s “The Promised Land,’’ "Deborah,” from Edmunds’ latest Tracks on Tax, and “Ju-Ju Man,” from Edmunds’ last, Get It. Guitarist Billy Bremncr delivered the raucous “Trouble Boys” perfectly, down to the last growl. Unfortunately, the good time mood was lost Somewhere around the time Van Morrison allowed his female vocalist to sing “Crazy Love.” But a substantial number of people there concurred on one point: Rockpile was good enough to be and should have been the headliner. Morrison -continued from . . page 11— . astounded by the gall of it; that he would play with his image at stake, even if there were a bunch of bucks in it. Now when it happens, I want to take a gun and shoot the artist because he’s not trying to give me his best. Anyone who stumbles in front of thousands of people like Cra/y Guggenheim ought to be made to drink his own vomit (especially if we have to drink his). How can I apologize for such writing? The man has struck a nerve; he should be dealt a blow; I have no sympathy for this plight, no vengeance, but am full of anger, B. Stagefright If Morrison has stagefright which prompts his lack of soul onstage, he ought to be like Carly Simon retire from the road, conserve energy and do one gig per two years. That’d blow someone away, wouldn't it? C. The Big Band They covered for Morrison’s lack of stature, lack of range, his mendicity, and he knew it. That’s why he hired them. Proves that Morrison knew he shouldn’t have D. Short Set given a concert at all. But for a sleepy hour, he made a fool of himself, his image, and the audience. To review the concert more incisively would be an insult to the reader. His songs lacked punch, verve, improvisation, and imagination. Until his live performances once again sound better than his studio records, Van Morrison should retire, or practice, or make us a gift of his vocal cords. Morrison is a pontiff, in search of a forgotten faith. If he pontificates, I have that same "right.” I am still hurt.

An interesting affair'looms for the many jazz listeners of this city, as Buffalo State College’s Student Union Board presents a three day festival offering the diverse interests of what is Jazz to the world at large. From the eveninglit vocalism of Mark Murphy to the neon funk of Spyro Gyra, the rich traditions brewing in the tenor saxophone of Sonny Rollins, and the legacies widening thru the powerful formulations of Anthony Braxton and Sun Ra, you will see a powerful presentation of what the Music is, can be, and what too many either don’t know about or too often take for granted. You determine your perspective; it is, you know, what this is all about. All happening on the Elmwood Campus. Friday, November 3: Buffalo Jazz Workshop featuring Al Tinney and Sam Fajzone, FREE in Student Union Lobby at one o’clock. 2 p.m.: Instrumental Big Band Workshop, directed by Dr. James Mabry, Buffalo State Performing Arts Department (bring your instrument). 5 p.m.; “Jazz On A Summer’s Day,” rare film of the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival, free in the Assembly Hall. 8 p.m.; Concert in Student Union Social Hall: Spyro Gyra, Sam Noto Quartet, and the St. Joseph’s High School Jazz Band (Downbeat Magazine National Award Winners). $2 for students, $5 for the public. at Buff State Tomorrow: 11 a.m.: Jazz Vocal Workshop, directed by Chuck Mancuso and vocalist' Mark Murphy, free in Communications South. 1 |3.m.: Jazz Critics Symposium, moderated by John Hunt, featuring Gary Giddens (Village Voice), Robert Palmer (New York Times), Dan Morganstern (Rutgers University Institute Of Jazz Studies), and poet/musician Stanley Crouch (Village Voice).

Mime Troupe Vasulkas Street Theater comes to Third World Week The San Francisco Mime Troupe, to appear on campus later this month, is one of America’s few politically oriented theatrical groups. Fifteen young American actors blacks, whites and Chicanos expose all the brutality of the hidden face of the "American Dream." Their production False Promlses/Nos Enganaron is the true story of a strike for the 40-hour working week in the copper mines of Colorado around 1898. The group, with a relatively small cast, performs with economy. The players also provide the live music for the show. There is continual movement across the simplistic sets from role to role, between the musicians and actors. Dancing, singing, melodrama and cabaret, all elements of street theater, into an merge exciting - - - performance. The Troupe’s commitment to popular theater underscores the need to attract ordinary people so that they can see that art and theater are also for them. But this company is not content merely to entertain: False Promlses/Nos Enganaron reflects upon the human conditions of social reality through the use of popular methods of artistic presentation. The group’s realistic approach goes hand in hand with moments of tremendous emotionalism and of pure comedy, a mixture of sentimentality and common sense that was the material of so many Brechtian dramas. Elements of popular culture, such as the western, the folk tale, and musical comedy, are incorporated into stark representative tableaux. A collective orientation becomes part and parcel of the political stance and aesthetics of the performance. False Promlses/Nos Enganaron will be staged November 15 at 7:30 p.m. in the Fillmore Room, Squire Hall, as part of the Third World Week 1978, and is being presented by the Third World Student Association 'and the Theater Department and several other campus organizations. Tickets are $3 and are available at the Ticket Office, Squire Hall. —Alvaro Carrasco un knowledgeable to person understand the medium more fully. —continued from • • page 1 1— • and engage the spectator.

SWJ delivers verdict, comments on decision On Monday, October 30, 1978, the Student-Wide Judiciary (SWJ) convened for a bearin'? on the constitutional issue raised by former SA President Richard Mott’s call for a general election upon his resignation from office-Following the deliberations !he Court found that Richard Mot. was within his constitutionally delegated powers by calling for this general election. The Court notes at the outset that where the plaintiffs contend that they were, in effect, removed from office by the Presidential act, being deprived of due process of law, we must disagree. Due process of law requires two basic privileges: notice and the opportunity to be heard. Notice was served when Richard Mott publicly announced his decision to schedule a general election. The opportunity to bejieard was afforded by the instant hearing by the SWJ, Furthermore, the crucial point is that the plaintiff’s were not removed from office; the act of the President was a general indictment against the entire administration. It did not single out any officer or director, nor did it preclude any of these officers or directors from running in office. What it did do was bring the question directly to the student body for their ultimate decision. The plaintiffs contend that a referendum could have been held asking explicitly whether these officers should remain in power. However, since we hold that the President had the power to call fora general election, we cannot agree with the plaintiffs logic. The President is simply exercising a constitutionally delegated power and the burden is properly placed on fhe plaintiffs to affirmatively seek re-election if they so desire. Indeed, the plaintiffs anticipated when they commenced their term of office that it would be a full year’s term. However, whether they realized that this power of the President existed; it did, just as it exists now in the middle of their terms. Their right to hold office for a one "year termTs not an absolute right of which .he plaintiffs are well aware. One possibility is that they can be recalled; another is that the President can, under Article 3A6 of the SA Constitution, effectively force these, officers and directors to affirmatively seek re-election if they desire to remain in office. Nevertheless, the President has sti’l not removed them from office if the student population is in disagreement with the President general In indictment, they would simply re-elect these officers terms of the plaintiffs claim of procedural safeguards and the necessity of having a system of checks and balances, we believe'that this power is wholly consistent with such a system. It allows for a President to bring before the students an administration with which he is some way displeased with and asks them to vote and make the final decision. We assert that this is not only proper but completely democratic. It is a check upon an entire administration. We find that the :oom for abuse of this power is minimal because the President is putting his own position on the line as well. However, it must be noted that we are not ruling on the ethical question of whether or not a President should have this power It is not the job of the judiciary to rewrite existing law, it is our position to interpret the law as it is. Nor does the Court think that we were limited to a strict construction - f the letter of the Constitution. We read the document as a wh.Je and we examined its many parts. We considered evidence regarding previous UB SA constitutions and we allowed into evidence the Constitutions of other universities from a random sampling. We heard extensive testimony from both parties. The power of the President which is in dispute raises various questions concerning the intent of this provision when read in light of the entire document, the potential consequences of such a provision, if found to be constitutional, and the desirability of granting such a power to the President. We must stress that it’s not the proper function of this court to pass upon the desirability of such a power except to say that we are confident it is a power that will not be abused because the student body is ultimate arbiter when such a power is exercised. For the foregoing reasons we find that the President has the Constitutional power to call for a general election under Article 3A6. -Michelle Seidner Chief Justice Paula Katz Scott Epstein - Senate infighting continues as battle rages over altered minutes by Daniel S. Parker Campus Editor “The Student Senate voted to change history,” Acting Student Association (SA) President Karl Schwartz has charged. Schwartz and several of his political allies have claimed that at last Monday’s Senate meeting the minutes of a previous meeting were incorrectly altered.

He said, "The Senate did not voice any objections to Finkelstein’s suggestion that it wait to approve her appointment.” Schwartz claims that the Senate went on to further business and the routine approval was postponed. Finkelstein contends that he not only suggested her approval be delayed, but that the Senate agreed to question her at its next meeting on her voting policies. After argument persisted. Rubin’s motion was ■called to question and the Senate voted to correct tire minutes, stipulating there were “ho objections” and striking Finkelstein’s suggestion from the - minutes.

Deadline and produced directed by UB student Jim Paul, humorously traces the lives of reporters involved in a college newspaper. “BastCalty the plot is about a reporter with The Spectrum, who is assigned to a cloning story,” explained Paul. “The professor, working on a form of cloning, arrives from Europe, and meets the reporters at Grand Central Station. The professor is murdered and The Spectrum reporter is blamed and has to elude police, villians and a others,” of Paul variety elaborated. He further noted that Deadline is, “an eclectic comdey approach, comprising elements of MASH, North by Northwest Woody Alien, Alfred Hitchcock ... it’s a screwball thriller.” Deadline filming began in July and the flick should be ready for viewing by the end of this semester. “We predominately filmed at the University,” related Paul, “and also during the summer in New York City, Niagara Falls, downtown Buffalo and at the Basilica in Lackawanna.” Further filming will take place in The Spectrum office in Squire Hall and possibly at the Club 747, he said. , the UB Law School, last spring Paul had to overcome various obstacles during the filming of his ambitious project. The most difficult of the problems was lack of production equipment “It’s difficult to do a film like this,” asserted Paul. “The Education Communication Center (ECC) has color video tape equipment, but won’t lend it to students,” said the disgruntled Paul, “I’m a student and I’ve paid tuition, so this type of equipment should be for student use.” Due to this difficulty. Deadline is being filmed in black and white only. Canisius College however, has granted Paul the use of their film-making equipment. “I’m doing the editing and post production work at Canisius,” Paul informed. Commercial film Paul is extremely enthusiastic it about Deadline because represents a departure from his previous style of film making. “My last film {Nuts) was a sum ary of all my previous films,” he explained. “I always worked in super eight and concentrated on visuals, Deadline is a film that relies a lot on sound.” . He also noted that Deadline is his first attempt to follow a real movie, with the emphasis on the narrative; a more to approach commercial hopes Paul to pursue film-making. a career in film-making with the intent of attending graduate school at the University of California at Los Angeles. What should prospective viewers expect?

Paul has done eight other The Spectrum Backpage for films, including Nuts a farce of upcoming announcements. Staff upcoming midterms, said Curtis. “Students are lied to their books because tests are coming up.” said Writer Vandalism, which has left its scars on buildings throughout the University appears to have decreased within the past few weeks. Why? More police, a heightened student awareness and upcoming mid-terms are among the theories The Spectrum has been offered. Assistant Director for University Police, Wayne Robinson-cited the “increased visibility of his staff’ as a major deterrent to vandals. “More people are on duty,” he slated. The “Animal House Syndrome” which Robinson cited as a primary villain in the vandalism spree, is losing its novelty. “Most have seen it and its effects have worn off," he said. Peer group pressure was also attributed to the drop. “Most students are tired of seeing the walls kicked in." Robinson observed. “People are still getting drunk and breaking things but not on the same level." Arrests up Area Coordinators of the Ellicott complex, Rhys Curtis and Nancy Marmarous also noticed a vandalism drop. “There have been less incidents reported through me," stated Curtis. “There is an increased awareness of the consequences pf these criminal acts. Students are also keeping"an eye out for property which is important to them." Other deterrents include colder weather and Recent arrests by University Police might also scare away prospective vandals. Even so, Curtis cautioned, the relative calm may be just a short lull in the damaging mischief. Marmarous credits the Resident Advisor Staff. Halloween weekend, traditionally a reckless time, showed few signs of vandalism she said, adding, “All seemed to have handled it well. People were watched and kept in line.” Marmarous saw last weekend as a positive sign that things have calmed down. Not as cost! '‘People are getting caught,” she said, “this deters others from committing these criminal acts.” But Director of Housing Custodial Services Richard J. Cudeck said the frequency of vandalism has remained high, though the dollar damage has dropped. He cited a “decrease in large incidents” but warned: “it is wrong to measure vandalism by dollars alone.” Though recent incidents have not been as costly they are just as serio ;s, Cudeck said. “People are talking about dollars. That jast turns me right off,” he said. Cudeck is more concerned with the welfare of students who might be effected by this criminal misch.ef. “We can always afford to pay for the consequences of these incidents in dollars but a price tag can not be put on the personal injury of a student,” he said. - , These three SA candidates did not have their pictures published in our election supplement two weeks ago.

Devalued dollar Faculty wages at all time high but real earnings continue to fall As tuition costs (CPS) continue to rise, students are often left wondering where all the money goes. One expert has spoken up to say that he knows that, though faculty and staff salaries account for about three-fourths of a school’s budget, the money doesn’t seem to be going to faculty members. — Howard Bowen, economics professor at Claremont Graduate School, has charted average faculty wages and benefits from 1903-04 through 1976-77. His figures show that, although salaries have come a long way from 1903’s average of $1500, real wages have been declining in comparison to other occupations. Bowen disparity earnings in 18 percent warns that if the continues, faculty ten years will be 9 to below those in other occupations and, in 20 years, a* —continued on page 22— Free energy audits Sick of high utility bills?

I —continued from page 1— Mangotti, one management official who filled in at the driver’s seat, and the son of the owner of Blue Bird claimed that the striking drivers took their own cars and drove in front of Blue Bird buses. “Some strikers are driving very slowly in front of us trying to knock us off schedule,” he said. University Police Captain Jack Eggert related reports of a white Pontiac driving in front of buses, but said, “No one could find it.” Mangotti added that he was on schedule and was, at the time he was talking to The Spectrum, 15 minutes ahead of schedule. The strikers, meanwhile, claimed that the fill-in drivers attempted to hit one of the picketers. Buffalo driver’s union secretary Jane Glowniak said that although she did not see it, a striker told her that a bus “shot right through and broke off one of the picketer’s signs.” She claimed there have been no incidents of violence on the strikers’ part. ‘Secondary boycott’ McGill acknowledged complaints of slow moving vehicles obstructing the bus service on Millersport, but added he was not an eyewitness. He also said that in his opinion, the pickets which forced Ihe Grand Island Company and the Cottrell Company to stop running are illegal. “It’s a secondary boycott which should not be allowed,” he contended. “The University is not the drivers-’ place of business and they have no right to picket here.” University Police which has an officer guarding every picket at all times said that the pickets were within the law. Eggert said there was nothing that University Police could do since the pickets are on city-owned sidewalks. “As long as they don’t interfere with traffic, and keep off state property, they are allowed to picket,” he said. Eggert added .that he does not know whether University Police will be able to monitor the pickets all the time. “Well probably just spot-check them,” - — — - Playing the Univarsity's middleman In Sherman lot The VA violators have been caught For years, student drivers have complained that VA hospital employees arc taking up parking spaces in the Sherman Lot across from the hospital. According to University Police Lieutenant James Hisenmann, “125 to 150 cars have been thrown out this semester.” hisenmann, who is in charge of the patrol, said “two to four men worked consistently every day for a month patrolling the Sherman Lot.” Officers observed can on Bailey Avenue as they entered the University. If they didn’t have a parking sticker along with a valid student ID, they were not allowed to park in the lot. Eisenmann believes this is the tint time in twelve years there has been ample parking in Sherman Lot. Captain James Eggert noticed the improvement. “The parking situation this year is much better than last year. There’s plenty of spaces in the Main-Bailey lot, and now the Sherman lot, even though some people still sneak in.” VA woes The VA Medical Center has a similar parking dilemma. John Pulli from VA Public Relations says, “One way to alleviate the problem is by car pooling." The Buffalo Common Council has leased part of the golf course to the VA hospital adjacent to their North Fence to help ease the crunch. There will be 156 new parking spaces when the new lot is completed. Work should be started sometime in the spring. The VA Hospital has also requested to park on Jasper Drive and Motor Drive from the town of Amherst. VA Hospital has requested several times to park in campus lots but has been flatly refused by University officials. The additional parking woes may arise with the construction of Buffalo’s new rapid transit system. The system’s construction will result in a loss of Main Street’s Abbott Lot. full third below The overall effect of the decline. Bowen says, is likely to entice the most able academicians into other, more lucrative fields. Bowen computed the salaries in terms of 1967-value dollars. Thus, while today's average salary of over S20.000 is the highest it represents only SI2.500 in 1967 dollars. Such salaries. Bowen fears, will make higher education uncompetitive with businesses of similar sizes. Dark outlook The problem becomes even more serious because, according to Bowen’s numbers, two-thirds o( the nation’s faculty members will have to be replaced in the next 25-30 years. Sixty percent of the current faculty is over 40 years old. and 30 percent is over 50. With the healthy supply of PhDs, filling the open positions won’t be hard. Bowen thinks the problem is filling them with the best people. Because of salary - — '' Willing to negotiate Glowniak said all three divisions turned down tltfe company’s offer, so at midnight “we went on strike automatically.” She noted, “We didn’t have a working agreement.” Glowniak explained that the drivers’ main demands covered both money and benefits. She said the drivers were limited by a “cap” on cost-of-living increases, pointing out that “last year cost of living rose 11 percent, and we only got a five percent raise.” In'addition to cost Qf living, drivers are seeking time and a half for hours over a 40-hour week, a health and welfare plan that includes all employees, betteruniform allowances, and improved pension benefits. Negotiations between the two parties have extended only eight days. For this reason, both Glowniak and Katz suggested that although both parties were bargaining in good faith, the contract deadline limited the scope and specifics of the talks. Both parties told The Spectrum that they are willing to resume talks at any time. Katz explained that the company’s attorney had discussed Blue Bird’s availability with federal mediator Kevin Powers. Glowniak said, “We are relying on ATU Vice President George Link and Powers to get us back to the bargaining table.

Historically, faculty wages have been determined by public attitudes as much as by market forces. So the public’s current cost-cutting mood, Bowen predicts, is going to result in a “gradual but persistent financial squeeze” on faculty paychecks.

Nazareth, a schpol of about one thousand students in Rochester, entered the match as an unknown quantity. “I hadn’t seeh them play, but someone told me they were good,” said Buffalo coach Peter Weinreich. Nazareth quickly convinced any skeptics by whipping a strong Ithaca squad 8-15. 15-9-, 15-9, as their front line, led by Meg Tuttle, came up with the blocks necessary to shut down Ithaca’s offense. Nazareth went on to top Buffalo 15-9, 15-6, to raise their won/loss record to 15-3.

What changes does he have in mind for tomorrow’s District Tournament with invitations for the New York State Championships on the line? “I’ve changed as much as I’m going to change,” he said. “This starting lineup is the best I’ve got.” If the Royals don't finish either first or second tomorrow, it will be the first time in Weinreich’s four years as UB coach that Buffalo has not been invited to the State Championships. Tuesday night’s double loss was a good example of what’s been wrong with the Royals this year. “We have to work as a team more,” said Buffalo co-captain She Trabert. “A lot of times we were playing as individuals.” "That’s been our problem all year,” Weinreich agreed. “We’re a young team and there’s a lot of inexperience. Unfortunately, we’re learning at a rate that has not kept up with the competition.” As a result, Weinreich has been reluctant to go to his bench all year. Poor returns Buffalo dug a hole for itself in each game against Ithaca, getting behind 7-0 in the first game and 10-0 in the second. Each' time it was Buffalo’s serve reception that was at fault either two players got confused as to who would return the ball, or there was simply a poor return. After running up big leads, Ithaca had little trouble finishing off the Royals. Welnreich noted that while Ithaca’s Pat O’Conner could serve ten straight points, he didn’t feel that anyone on Buffalo was capable of doing that right now, another of the Royals’ weaknesses. Of course, both Ithaca and Nazareth recruit heavily and give scholarships, while Buffalo cannot. Nazareth took advantage of many UR errors, scoring seven unanswered points in the first game to break a 6-6 tie. Tuttle again led the way with her spiking and blocking. In the second game, they took a 5-0 lead and cruised the rest of the way, with Tuttle serving the last four points. Royals Akemi Tsuji, Wanda Mesmer and Trabert all looked sharp at times throughout the night, and bad at other times. Tomorrow’s District Tournament (Clark Hall, 9 a.m. and throughout the day) will feature UB, two teams that have already beaten the Royals Buffalo State and Niagara along with Alfred, St. Bonaventure, D’Youville and last year’s winner, Fredonia. — - — lIx^flNfiCONE’S'v.

The Bulls came away Wednesday with a 201 win over the Oswego Lakers in a game that was no surprise to the team. “They played the same as they’ve been playing all season,” said Coach Sal Esposito. But UB, with a 4-9-1 record, never put it together like they did against Oswego. The coach’s sentiments were repeated by forwards Barry Kleeman and Ramsey Quartey. “We didn’t do anything different today,” said Kleeman. Except win. The first half proved to be UB’s most successful half of the season, due to forward Mike Brotherton’s superb play he was super,” commented Esposito. “Brotherton was flying high The fast forward may just as well have been wearing wings. He controlled the ball at midfield, working with his wings, and led the team with six of its total 20 shots on goal. Three of those shots came in the first 15 minutes of play. The first shot was a 20-yard looper that just skimmed the upper right comer only to go out of bounds. The second was a fake trap by wing Luis Azcue which ended up at Brotherton’s feet just to the left of the goal. At this point the team encountered its biggest problem of the year; the ability to take shots but “just” miss. The problem quickly disappeared as Brotherton cut off an Oswego pass and again looped it in the direction of the goal, only this one sank in for UB’s first gaol in the past four games. - Quartey connects Buffalo got their second break of the half with 50 seconds left. Barry Kleeman looped a free kick from 35 yards out to find Ramsey Quartey’s head. Quartey connected with the ball and UB floated its way to a 2-0 lead. Things fell apart for the Bulls in the second half. Center fullback George Daddario stopped making the incredible plays he did in the first half. Forwards Brotherton, Quartey and Kleeman couldn’t beat their men to the ball. Goalie Mike Preston had to make a coupleof incredible plays to keep the two point lead. One diving catch, incidentally, later took Preston out of the game. The team lost its control nad Oswego didn’t just stand and watch. The Lakers barrtged lfB with long range shots. One of these shots rolled across the goal’s brim, untouched by either team, only to creep out of bounds. Soon afterward, Oswego forward Bob Knowles dribbled by two UB defenders and scored, making the score 2-1. The Bulls stalled for time to end up with their fourth win of the season. But the team was not pleased with their second half play. “We punched a little. We started kicking and running after the ball,” said Daddario. According to Esposito, UB played defensive ball the whole second half. “That kind of stuff drives you crazy,” he added. UB’s last game of the season is*at home against Brockport State this Saturday at 1 p.m. “We want to win the I a",t two games. That’s all that counts,” said Brotherton. Esposito wasn’t sure why the team played so poorly the .second half. He said, “I thought we deserved to win it and we almost deserved to lese it,” referring to the second half. He added, “I’ve got hopes for these guys.” Looking at his calendar, Esposito smiled optimistically. “If we win Saturday, we’ll be undefeated in November.” „• FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES s presents the film The Wor Game You will be convinced of the ease in which a Nuclear War could happen.

Acting SA President Karl Schwartz, said the elections, originally scheduled for las! Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, will be held Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday November 6-8. The SWJ decision followed a four-hour hearing Monday night at which the plaintiffs in the case SA Director of Student Affairs Lori Pasternak, Director of Student Activities Barry Rubin, Director of Academic Affairs Sheldon Gopstein and Treasurer Fred Wawr/.onek attempted to prove that the elections violated both the spirit and the letter of the SA constitution. The elections next week, barring additional legal manuevers, will bring an end to one of the most tumultuous, divisive chapters in recent SA history. The plaintiffs’ three-week struggle to stop the elections one headed by split the SA Executive Committee into two factions Wawrzonek, Pasternak, Gopstein and Rubin and the other led primarily by Schwartz. —Korotkln SHOWDOWN AT SWJ: Monday evening's hearing to retolva the constitutionality challenge to the Student Association (SA) elections saw the two sides in the three-week long dispute debate for about four hours. From left to right: Richard Mott (former SA President); Karl Schwartz (Acting — SA President}; Fred Wewrzonek (Treasurer); Steve Schwartz (Counsel for the plaintiffs); Sheldon Gopstein (Director of Academic Affairs); and Barry Rubin (Director of Activities and Services). - — Carey shafts UB gym State funds Syracuse U. dome by David Davidson Assistant Sports Editor With the same stroke of- the pen that has yet a check for the completion of physical education facilities at this University, Governor Hugh Carey has assigned SIS.3 million in state funds to furnish Syracuse University (SU), a private school, with a domed stadium complex. As part of the state’s Urban Development Corporation (UDC) supplemental budget, the to sign - Onondaga County. The stadium will bring in at least 100 permanent jobs not counting the construction,” he said. A spokesman for Zimmer denied that any political maneuvers might have influenced the appropriation. “It’s not a completely unique development,” he stated. “The UDC does give grants to private business in order to operate.” One rationalization of the state’s grant to the private institution is the location of the SUNY College of Environment and Forestry on the Syracuse campus, Zimmer said. Its 1870 students have access to inter-collegiate activities as well as full use of all campus facilities. Zimmer failed to point out that SUNY shells out SI.5 million to SU for the privilege. Another consideration should be the fact that SU has 10,000 less students than UB. Halted elections At Monday’s hearing, Schwartz defended former SA President Richard Mott’s call for general elections against the plaintiffs’ claim that the section of the document Mott used (Sec 3-A-6) was being wrongly interpreted. Mott resigned his office October 6 and the same day informed the SA officers he was calling for new elections. Since then only Gopstein, among the four plaintiffs, gathered enough petition signatures to place his name on the ballot next week. Hence, Rubin, Wawrzonek and Pasternak will be replaced by next week’s winners. SWJ halted the elections last Wednesday in anticipation of Monday’s hearing on the constitutionality question. ' funds will help provide for a 50,000 seat arena which will function primarily for football and other large events. The stadium itself will cost $26 million with additional buildings in the complex pegged at S14 million. According to SU officials, the present Archibold Stadium has deteriorated beyond repair. A larger facility is needed, they contend, in order for the current Division I sports Another gift The President shall have the power to call general elections and referendums. These dozen words, and all that should or should not be implied by their application, formed the core of the debate at Monday’s hearing. The lightly attended session, modeled after a classic legal hearing in nearly every respect, saw Steve Schwartz, SA President during 1976-77 year, argue the plaintiffs side and Karl Schwartz represent the defense. Steve Schwartz now a second year law student here had agreed to represent the plaintiffs in their attempt to prove the constitution was being misused. Steve Schwartz centered the plaintiffs’ arguments around the contention that; only through constitutionally prescribed recall procedures can SA officers be removed. He repeatedly stressed to the three SWJ justices that the term “general elections” was intended only to mean “elections where all undergraduate students are eligible to vote.” He also brought out the plaintiffs’ view that a Presidential power to call elections for all officers would be dramatically inconsistent with the system of checks and balances the constitution provides, in that it would allow the President, acting alone, to remove an entire administration at any time, without valid charges. program to advance. Buffalo Assemblyman Stephen R. Greco Carey’s signature comes in the wake of an voted in favor of the stadium. “Of course I announcement last November that a stadium in supported it; they need it,” he said. “We can’t be Onondaga County was not on the list of fundable picky about $ 15 million going for another project. projects for the state.

Risks job Karl Schwartz, representing himself and Mott, agreed with the plaintiffs’ definition of “general elections” but contended that the term also extended to the right to call elections for all officers at any time. He stressed that the President, in using that right, also risks his own job. He also contended that elections for all officials give the student body the ultimate choice, a procedure he termed “as democratic as possible.” Steve Schwartz,.honed in on the recall procedure, noting that it includes “due process,” i.e., a system to insure legitimate grounds for removing an officer. Under the defendant’s interpretation of Article 3-A-6, he staled, “there are no valid charges. There are no hearings. He (the president) just does it. It’s arbitrary and capricious.” Karl Schwartz countered this argument by proposing that organization-wide elections are not meant as an indictment of an individual or groups of officers, but as a chance for the student body to judge the entire administration. He also stressed that what he felt was the president’s sole right to call elections for all officers logically complimented the president’s sole constitutional right to call referendums and. through the two procedures, allowed the President to “bring the government to the students.” Editor’s note: A fpll explanation of the SWJ decision and an analysis of the reactions to it will appear, along with other election coverage, in Friday's issue of The Spectrum. * Inside: Persuasion or justice?—P. 4 / Ingenious engineers—P. 11 / ‘Inside Professors—see second section x �n t i The Spectrum’ looking for skilled Art Director The Spectrum is looking for an Art Director.

Director of Food and Vending Services Donald Hosia. who termed the bear blasts a threat to students' safety, is shown above in Goodyear Cafeteria removing a tray in an attempt to quash a rumored food two weeks ago. How dry I am? Food Service places limits on consumption of beer in Fargo two kegs, except the Pub which has a 15 keg limit." by Joel Mayersohn DiTomasso was also upset that the ‘‘majority was being punished for the minority.” Campus editor Beer nothing blasts in Fargo Cafeteria will soon be more than a hung-over memory. Food Service, in conjunction with University officials, has mandated that parties in the cafeteria be limited to two half-kegs of beer. The decision was a direct result of letters from residential colleges to Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty. The letters condemned the deplorable condition of the cafeteria both before and after beer blasts and other large events. Doty indicated that a large amount of damage had occurred in Fargo; “the parties seem to be contributing to this damage,” he said, adding that the residents of Fargo had “suffered unduly.” Director of Food and Vending Services Donald Ifosie concurred. “Persons living in residence halls should not be intimidated,” said Hosie. “The parties would be a threat to my safety if I lived in that hall,” he noted.The new regulation had no student input. Student groups throughout the Amherst Campus are outraged that Tau Kappa Epsilon spokesman Matthew Reid Gary growled that the decision “is not serving students. The best place to hold a party is in our own back yard he said. “We are trying to improve the social life here and we’re just hitting our heads against brick walls.” ” Ail aboard The Inter Residence Council (IRC) believes that the decision was more for .the benefit of Food Service than the students. IRC Vice President Mike DiTomasso indicated that “all parties are limited to We Scalabrinians have for the past 90 years.

IRC is also urging students to “spend their dollars elsewhere, not in the Pub,” said DiTomasso. According to Assistant Director of Food Service Don Bozek, “The parties will be shifted to' facilities that are designed to handle them.” The directive states that the groups will be encouraged to schedule their events in the Talbert dining area. Talbert Hall is more conducive to these events, according to Bozek. “As far rfs we‘fcfb"c»ncerne(J. noise complaints will be eliminated; we will be able to control who enters and leaves the facility.” Hosie added that cleanup will be easier and that groups will now “be more accountable for damage that may occur.” Hosie dismissed student complaints that the move would eliminate parties in Ellicott. “Two half kegs of beer (350 glasses) is a party of 75-100 students, which is a manageable event,” he said. Hosie indicated that the distant Talbert Hall location will not deter students from partying. “If there is a party where you can get beer for 25 cents, you will have people there,” he reasoned. Clifford Furnas College member Erie Martens, part of the group who wrote the letters of protest, commented, “We did not attempt to bar anyone from using the facility and we did not ask for a keg limit. We just wanted to make sure that each group using the cafeteria acted in a responsible manner.” �i Corporate ideology gets the hard sell ' u ‘Advocacy’: advertising is undergoing a subtle change that opens corporations to criticism is received as if it might be a death blow." The corporate instinct, in such cases, is to retaliate on a massive scale. And so an environmentalist ad campaign against the Alaska pipeline, waged at a cost of less than S200.000. is met with' an industrial campaign with a price tag upwards of S25 million. A bill now being debated in the California State Legislature, that would make public smoking illegal in that state, is being clouded with a wave of full-page magazine and newspaper ads sponsored by major tobacco companies, calling the bill “unconstitutional." by John M. Glionna Asst. Special Feature Editor Leafing through most any popular magazine or newspaper, whether it be an issuers Time. Newsweek, Pktyboy or even the Parade publication found in the Sunday supplement, brings the realization that nature advertisements are undergoing drastic changes in their appeal to the reader. Along with the hard sell, our “buy product” promotions, the public has been bombarded with drastically less subtle attempts to influence popular opinion. A recent issue of Time magazine contained an ad from a paper company observing that the firm has lately been “breeding better trees.” Not only are they “taller and straighter than ordinary trees,” the ad said, but “they also grow faster. And they have fewer, smaller branches.” They contain, the ad contended, more useable fiber than the ordinary kind of tree designed by Third class Most recently, big business have been vocally advocating first amendment rights that, up to now, have been reserved for individuals, in the light of a court decision in Massachusetts the affirming corporate right of free speech. Cases like the Massachusetts one have put liberals in a difficult position. Traditionally defenders of free speech and the right of any no matter how Organization to voice their objectionable views, liberals have also consistently fought for consumer interest groups, public organizations, the little man, etc. from the abuses of corporate power. A court case seeking to stop corporations from advertising to influence opinion forces liberal to choose an unpleasant path either way. “While there are admittedly a lot of well intentioned people in the media who think we ought to hide under a rock, 1 don’t happen to think there’s anything in the Constitution that says business is a third or fourth class citizen and doesn’t have the right to present its views, just as anyone else,” said Mobil Oil Vice Chairman Herman Schmidt. “You not only have the right to express your point of view, but as a company whose product, pricing and activities affect many people, you have an obligation to let your customers know where you stand on issues that affect you and theni jointly,” he added. interests nature. A few pages farther on, a Food Marketing Institute ad sought to explain “America’s most misunderstood great invention” the supermarket. This invention, the ad suggested, keeps down the cost of food, raises its quality, and stimulates competition. In the same issue, a defense contractor explains why the country needs a new fighter bomber. And several oil and power companies advocated solutions to our energy problems. — — Crisp communication Nowehere to be found were ads from environmental groups which might have felt there was something nice about those ordinary, unimproved trees. There were no ads charging that the growth of super-markets may drive out small businesses, decrease competition, raise prices, and lower the quality of food And there were no ads that opposed expanding military hardware The ads in questions are examples of what is variously called “advocacy advertising” and “controversy advertising,” among other characterizations. They don’t sell products directly; rather, they seek to advance ideas and/or political positions', which. ultimately, will result in the increased sale of products, although products ate rarely mentioned fh the ads themselves. Advocacy ads clearly represent a notable kind of crisp and convincing communication, although the genre of ads ip most cases tends to be self serving and one-sided. Their appeal has been a source of controversy between the media and business big throughout the 1970’s, enough so to prompt the writing of several books and articles studying this advertising practice. - utaji icty. • • Public issues The reason for this attention, writes Columbia Journalism Review book critic, Jerry Mander, is two-fold. “Since the ads exist within a framework of obvious political and social persuasion be raised questions must concerning their ultimate political impact, their legitimacy and the means at hand to ensure their truthfulness,” he wrote. The trend of publications to print advocacy ads was initiated ‘ almost a decade ago when Mobil Oil began publishing a highly literate of outpouring newspaper ads. editorial-type Those hitting “public issues” prtimoftohs which appeared on the “op-ed” page (ads displayed opposite the editorial page) of the York New Times r before spreading to other top, U.S. newspapers, gave the company’s viewpoint on a variety of thorny public questions especially those relating to the energy crunch. Mobil’s “observations,” a supplement to the “op-ed” messages, soon began appearing in the Sunday editorial section of many papers, containing a half dozen so or interesting, entertaining “briefs” on a variety of topics in such areas as energy, profits and public regulation. Mobil still runs its “observations” ads 36 times a year in such publications as Parade magazine and Family Weekly. — has maintained that advocacy ads one side of the story on many have a particular audience in mind issues and wanted our side of the told,” Mobil Oil lawmakers, opinion leaders, story journalists, businessmen and spokesperson Debbie Urso told educators, segment of the The Spectrum. public which makes it a practice •tb turn to the editorial pages.1 Nixonian view According to Columbia In and of themselves', the ads have caused an outcry from Journalism Review editor James nationwide consumer groups who Boylan that journalistic trade demand equal advertising time to magazine first began publishing present their views. More than advocacy ads in 1975: “Although $30 billion is not spent annually we do run the ads,” Boyland said, on all forms of advertising in this “we’re open io rebuttles from country and virtually all of it by consumer groups and we’ve corporations.

In many university courses, a research or term paper weighs heavily in the determination of a final grade. Specific requirements will differ ffbm instructor to instructor and from subject to subject. Generally, however, when instructors evaluate research papers, they look for evidence that you have exposed yourself to a broad range of informational sources and that you have made intelligent, knowledgeable decisions about which information is currently most important, in addition, it is essential that any conclusions you reach are based squarely on the information you have chosen to present. Finally, instructors are concerned that throughout your paper, as well as at the end in a final bibliography, you acknowledge your indebtedness to previous authors and their work in proper footnote and bibliography citations. Practically speaking, this means that to. write an effective research paper, you must acquire the skills needed to locate information in the library. In turn you must gather and record selected information in an efficient and orderly manner, then organize the material into an authoritative, well-focused, and carefully-documented report. You may be thinking, “That sounds nice, but how do I do it?.” First of all, begin to think of writing a research paper as a prqcess having several discrete steps and procedures: Choosing and Narrowing a Topic. If the choice of topic is left to you, make sure to choose something you 're interested in. If you don't, the whole business will be a drag. Preliminary Research. Get a sense of how much and what kind of information fs available before you begin to take notes; this may lead you to narrow tht topic still further. Working Bibliography. F{om the beginning, keep a record of all your sources on 3x5 note cards. Note-Taking. Many people find cards helpful here also. One fact or idea per card is recommended. A notebook works just as well if you keep everying in one section. Organizing a First Draft. Outlining is traditionally an effective method of organization. Idea trees or cognitive maps are excellent alternatives. (More on these in a future column.) Writing a First Draft. If you get stuck, consult previous columns on freewriting and other strategies to keep you going. Revising and Editing. If you can, let the draft “cool” awhile before working on it further. You’ll approach your own writing more objectively from a distance. Each of these steps (in roughly this order) will be treated more extensively in subsequent columns. Meanwhile, devise a schedule that allows a suitable amount of-time for each phase of the process, and do your best to meet the deadlines you set for yourself. Also, keep in -mind that reference librarians can be of invaluable assistance; don’t hesitate to consult them at any time during your research. -Roger Cherry Useful Reading on Reserve in the ULC Library 366 Baldy Hail.

Mews Sen ice It was past 10 on a sweaty summer night when I accompanied the sister of a client to the emergency ward of Newark City Hospital. I had successfully defended her brother against a mugging charge about a year before. Now that brother had been shot during an alleged burglary, and I was rushing to the hospital to prevent him from saying anything or. worse, the incriminating to a nurse or doctor police. My client’s sister and I joined the parade of wounded and mutilated bodies staggering through the swinging doors. Suddenly, across the lobby, a heavy-but-not-unattractive woman in a nurse’s out of uniform shrieked, “Get that mother here.” Two women rtished forward to restrain her. lawyer!” “That’s the lawyer, that's the mother she shouted. I looked around. No one else resembled a criminal lawyer. Still screaming, she dragged her two restrainers toward me- I was quite baffled. As the only while face in a crowd of 40, I felt a growing sense of anxiety. “That’s the son-of-a-bitch that did it to me!” she screamed. I didn’t know what she was talking about. “Kill him and that nigger Horton!” - - — — A good time or course. Larry Horton was a Larry Horton client of mine. Six months before, I had represented him at his trial for sodomy and rape. At last I recognized the woman’s face. She had testified as the “complaining” witness against Horton; WISHMAN: Isn’t if a fact that after you met the defendant at a bar you asked him if he wanted to have a good time? LEWIS; No! That’s a lie! WISHMAN; Isn’t it true that you took him and his friends back to your a-artment and had that good ... had done a job on th$ victim ... alleged victim. But, of course, to be effective in court a criminal lawyer has to act forcefully even brutally at times. I had come early in my career to regard the “cross” as an art form. I’ve frequently discredi'ted witnesses. Nothing personal. This woman simply didn't understand that. But this woman was upsetting me. I couldn’t dismiss her with jurisprudential arguments. Maybe she was one of many humiliated witnesses who were not as despecalbe as I had made them out to be. Maybe she was telling the truth. Maybe she had been raped and sodomized. And maybe 1 was responsible for her unjustified public disgrace. Worse, she may have been one of many. I have come to believe that my discomfort after this episode was not just a personal matter, that it also revealed certain occupational hazards of my time; LEWIS; No! - - WISHMAN: And after you had that good time, didn't you ask for money? LEWIS: No such way! WISHMAN; You claim to have been raped and sodomized. As a nurse, you surely have an idea of the effect of such an assault on a woman’s body. Are you aware, Mrs. Lewis, the police doctor found no evidence of force or trauma? LEWIS; 1 don’t know what the doctors found 1 walked past the screaming nurse without acknowledging her and went off to tend to business with my burglar. Later that night, as I drove home from the hospital, 1 tried to recall all the details of the trial. 1 —continued on page 8— Hi UB Come Visit The Brownberry “Natural” Bread Thrift Store 959 Englewood Ave. 873-4277 across from Elwood Firehouse — ALL BREAD BAKED WITH NATURAL INGREDIENTS CONTAINS NO ARTIFICAL PRESERVATIVES We Accept Food Stamps Every Tuesday Is SUPER DISCOUNT 10% Off total purchase Hours 9 6 Daily % \ \ BROWNBERRY • THRIFT STORE o o o MAIN STREET - ;v£k. :. : . 1 UB Homebaked Flavor 7 Dz. on/y $159 Friday Till 8 pm Closed Sunday - tn Penn Dutch Cookies r------- ■*-----------. 10% Valuable Coupon Soectrum | An extria 10% Discount on all purchases (Except Tuesday) •rownb.rry Quality Thrift Star* *S9 Inflawood Av»„ Ton*w*n4 a> N.T. ■ Nome | I .

The statue is the work of Eugene Hillman, a former art pupil of St. Mary’s School for the Deaf. St. Mary's was founded by the Sister of St. Joseph in 1853 with an enrollment of seven students. This year St. Mary's celebrates its 125th anniversary with 250 students of all nationalities. Sister Virginia, principal of St. Mary’s, stressed that the key to helping these special children is total communication or “TC.” “TC utilizes the full spectrum of language modes by the formal language of signs, lip reading and finger spelling,” sjid Sister Virginia. “A child who knows how to do all of these things plus the basic reading and writing will have an easier time communicating,” she explained. St. Mary’s educates children from birth through high school. The school follows a regular academic curriculum as well as providing the necessary training to help these children overcome their handicap. “It is extremely rewarding to work with these children,” smiled Sister Virginia, “They have such a strong desire to learn.” —Floss MANUAL ALPHABET: Abba de I'Eppa, creator of th» hand-signing system tor the deaf, is memorialized in bronze at the entrance to St. Mary's School for the Deaf, located on Main Street.

Ah, yes. Priorities, gentlemen. While we could continue to throw darts at Carey's craggy face, he surely cannot sink any lower in our minds than his current status as Public Enemy Number 1. We are more shocked by the attitude of Western New York legislators who not only condoned, but supported the Syracuse folly. 1 Amherst Assemblyman James Fremming, in particular, should be singled out or perhaps, run out of town. Fremming, who lamely attempted to claim some of the glory for Carey's election-year construction bequest here this summer, voted for the dome and had the utter gall to tell The Spectrum: "they needed it." For fear of libel, we will hold in reserve our on Mr. Fremming. But if he shows his insincere mug on this campus again, perhaps we will recite the things the University in his district needs. Books, lab equipment, teachers, etc. Nevertheless, special commendations should go to UB wrestling coach Ed Michael, who drafted an appropriately outraged letter to Carey and had the perseverance to send it to everyone he could think of with an interest in this Everest of en inequity. We will look for others in the University community to follow Michael's lead. For openers: the College Council, alLthe student governments, the UUP, CSEA, the Faculty Senate, the Professional Staff Senate, the Alumni Association and any other student body, staff, or faculty member with a conscience and a sense of moral indignation. The Administration, of course, must be careful not to bite too hard the hand that doesn't feed, but the Syracuse fiasco should not pass without official comment. All this election year illogic must be getting the better of us. We can't even imagine what else can.be done here, other than to oust those who deserve ousting. Even then, SUNY Buffalo's chances for equitable treatment from the state will continue to rest on the dubious whims of political huns like Carey. But when private schools such as Syracuse are handed $15 million for projects as crucial as a domed stadium, while at New York State's own University Center frivolities like new books, a gymnasium and simple space to live are brutally ignored, we can't help but wonder: to whom do we turn? — — — — In recent issues you have eloquently, although rather sardonically, defended the right of a newspaper to endorse candidates for political office. With this position I couldn’t agree more. This arguement, however, is somewhat irrelevant to the present controversy* concerning the propriety of the endorsement of cnadidates for SA by The Spectrum. The It seems that you view the role of Spectrum as similar to that of the Buffalo Evening News or the Courier Express. That is, an subscribers. independent serving newspaper However, the students you serve (emphasis on serve) are not subscribers to, but rather the publishers of The Spectrum. 1 don’t think that many editors are so presumptuous as to offer their unsolicited opinions to their publichers as to how they should pick to govern themsilves. Now you will probably note that, in most cases, a newspaper is not published for a readership mainly consisting of its publishers. This is quite true and it further shows that The Spectrum is not a newspaper in hte normal sense of the word. A much more analogous situation is that of a union newspaper. There a group of people publish a paper for an audience mainly consisting of themselves . In union elections, however, the newspaper's role is not to endorse but merely to provide a forum in which the candidates can express their positions. (Admittely, The power Vo|. KJb.t 29.

Finally in 1972 George McGovern received 40 percent fewer votes than Richard Nixon."From these statistics we can agree that any election in which the winners vote tally exceeds the loser’s by more than one third is a clear “landslide”. Now thaf the definition of what a landslide is has been established we can see if we can apply this votes. Friday’s paper contained a letter I wrote detailing The Spectrum's strangle hold on Student Association (SA) elections. In it I presented the fact that 93 percent of those candidates endorsed by The Spectrum in the last five years have won their respective elections. I stated that this tends to prove the assertion that democracy in student politics is illusionary since whomever The Spectrum chooses for an office is almost certain to win. Jay Rosen chose to controvert this point claiming that I did not “tell the whole story.” He went on to say in his reply; “An individual race may be very close, with for example the endorsed candidate drawing 55 percent of the vote and the unendorsed candidate getting 45 percent If the power-of The Spectrum's endorsement was as huge as some people claipi it to be, we would expect endorsed candidates to always win by huge - - ... margins.” What Mr. Rosen seems to be saying is that while The Spectrum endorsement might be a factor in an election it is only a marginal one not a decisive one. As proof of this he says that most elections are close with The Spectrum endorsee usually only eeking out a victory. Only if the victor were to win by a landslide would my theory of The Spectrum electoral control be correct. I am glad Mr. Rosen has established this as the criterion for verification of my theory. I assume that if I can demonstrate that the candidates given the nod by The Spectrum won their elections by landslide, then my theory will have to be acknowledged as being' correct. Pil-sf I wish to establish ‘what constitutes a landslide. A material anaylsis is ip order. Three American elections provide a base for this analysis. All three are considered poinient examples of the landslide phenomena by political scientist. The first election I will use as an example was in when Franklin Roosevelt gained over 22 million votes to triumph over Herbert Hoover who had 15 million ballots cast for him. Hoover got 32 percent fewer votes than FDR. In 1964 Lyndon Johnson was elected president with 43 million votes. definition to recent SA Presidential elections. In 1974 The Spectrum endorsed candidate received 1,355 votes. The nearest runner up had only 785 votes. This was a clear landslide. In 1975 The Spectrum endorsed candidate received 1,182 votes. This nearest runner up had only 365 votes. This was'a clear landslide. In 1976 Tin' Spectrum endorsed candidate received 1,134 votes. The nearest runner up had only 589 votes. This was a clear landslide. In 1977 The Spectrum endorsed candidate received 1,245 votes. T he nearest runner up had only 624 votes. This was a clear landslide. Finally, in 1978 The Spectrum endorsed candidate received 1,163 votes The nearest runner up had only 613 votes. Another clear landslide.

TJ « xl S' <t The Bible as a basis To the Editor When public policy is being debated in regard to 5 social behavior, it is'common to hear Biblical & exhortations. Such was the case of Carol DiBart in n On Christian bigotry To the Editor On Friday, October 27, a letter appeared from Carol DiBart which was supposed to justify Christian opposition to anything Gay. In point of fact, she chose to justify Christian bigotry. She alluded to the Bible five times: “the Bible doesn't mince words over homosexuality or the seriousness of this act before God”; 1 Timothy 1:9-10, Romans 1:26-28, Leviticus 18:22, and finally Jeremiah 29:11. She forgot ,a few others, but a really relevant one is Genisis 19:1-11 (the narration of how Lot had to protect two visiting angels from the men of Sodom who wanted to abuse the visitors.) My references while Writing this letter were the Bible, Douay Version fro all books except Genesis, Ruth, Job to Sirach and the Prophetical Books, and the New Testament, all of which is the new Confraternity of Christian Doctrine translation (with an imprimatur by Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York, June 8, 1961, and published by Benziger Brothers, Inc.); and Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, Encyclopedia Britannica, (c) 1966 by G. and C. Merriam co. A Christian is one who embraces the teachings of Jesus Christ. Those are the teachings of the New Testament. The Old Testament contained teachings and beliefs for people until the coming of the Savior, Jesus Christ. For a Chirstian, those teachings are now unimportant since they have already served their purpose, that is, .mankind struggled through the years before the coming of Christ with those teachings, teachings geared to survival. Now we have the teachings of Christ, teachings geared to help mankind through the years until the second coming of Christ at the end of the world. A Christian believes that he has now been saved but only if he are, very follows those teachings. Those simple. Those teachings stress belief that God is a loving, embracing God who wants mankind with Him for eternity, that God wants to forgive any wrongdoing based simply on an acknowledgement that a wrong has been committed and that a genuine remorse exists, and that forgiveness is desired.. Those teachings then stress that the way to go about all that is to simply love one another, with respect and without judgement, as the Christian, or any man, would love himself and want to be loved by any other. If a Christian wants to make a point from the Bible, he has the responsibility to interpret for himself not only the spirit of the Bible, but to quote it in context. In the letter by Saint Paul to Timothy, Saint Paul is charging Timothy, Bishop at Ephesus, to energetically combat false teachers. Those false teachers are prone to interpret the Law without understanding it. He then goes on to say that the Law is good, but it is intended not for just people, but for all those unjust listed in the quote by Miss DiBart. Curiously, that list of people who need the Law does not make reference to homosexuals but to sodomites. Sodomy has been defined as the “homosexual proclivities of the men of Sodom as narrated in Geneisi,” and is today defined as “the penetration of the male organ into the mouth or anus of another used by Saint Paul the term meant a depraved sexual abuse by men of men; as used today the term means anyone giving sexual gratification to a man without using a vagina, including wives and girlfriends. Biblically, since that is the way Miss DiBart is using the term, a sodomite is an unjust person ranking with murderers and sundry other unsavory characters because they abuse others contrary to Christian teaching which demands love and respect. While a minority, very small at that, of Gays today might be sexual abusers, the vast majority cannot be characterized that way and are therefore consistent with Christ. Referring to Romans, Saint Paul is again teaching the Christian Doctrine. In the text referred to by Miss DiBart, he is talking about idolaters who do not acknowledge God and are therefore abandoned by Him so that they sink into a depravity; depravity again does not contain love or respect and is contrary to Christian teachin. In this text it is implied that it is fine to have nothing to do with unjust people, but it does not imply that judgements should be made to homosexuals except by God Himself. No reference is made to homosexuals except in the large sense that a few may be depraved and should be avoided. The texts in Leviticus and Jeremiah are both in the Old Testament. The teachings in the Old Testament were designed to help mankind survive somehow until the savior arrived and should not be given primacy by a Christian, In Leviticus they are rules for sexual conduct (in a strict patriarchy) with As practical objectives for propagating a population wandering in the wilderness. In Jeremiah they are an exhortation telling the exiles in Babylon that when they seek the Lord (God) they will find Him He, JtaS- a plan'for them;*again, the subject'is a practical one, propagation, because He has a plan for them to end their woe. These people had been banished some time before for displeasing God. because The Bible is a fine book for many reasons. Unfortunately some people find quotations which fit a particular bias and use them without' the logic of the context. The Bible is many things, but it is not a series of unrelated statements. The Bible is a series of teachings each with a point of view reflecting .the time it was written. It is for that reason that the spirit of the Bible should be sought rather than an empirical evaluation of the words. Remember, too, that the Bible read today is a translation of languages used many years ago with nuances lost just because of that and nuances added because we can only relate to it in our own language. Finally, Jesus Christ did not teach anything negative, but rather a very positive action for love. That does not preclude avoiding anything which is irreconcilable with conscience (or whatever you care to call it) but does require avoiding negative, abusive action which is the antithesis of love and respect. Using selected quotes form the Bible, out of context, to slander anyone or push a point of view in order to subjugate anyone is not in keeping with Christian teachings. Ronald S. Wofciechowski g last friday’s The Spectrum, concerning proposed anti-gay legislation for California employees. Pointing to phrases in the Bible as ultimate references for everything we do can be a narrow-minded habit. Much of the Bible is beautiful and inspiring but certainly not every word is a gem. To extract phrases that support one's position while ignoring contradictions and open-ended ethical questions is of course biased. It is difficult to castigate the moral character of a homosexual teacher in light of the crude hedonist culture we live in. Copulate and consume, the corporations pound us with day and night on television, newspapers, billboards, ad nauseum. This wasteful and deceptive lifestyle is more dangerous to children than the private sex life of a teacher. Perhaps unknown to Miss DiBart the prime doctrines of Christianity (God as a moral judge, the immortal and male soul, superiority) were expounded by Socrates 400 years before Jesus, and by Egyptian priests before him. The eminent Bertrand Russell •'oted that for many Christians the death of Scorates is second only to Christ's death. Rev. Benjamin Jowett avowed the same sentiment to be avoided (as Hobbes did) instead of the relatively trivial desires of the stronger degree. Sorry to upset Miss DiBart, but Socrates was a fuggin’ faggot! Christianity is strongly based on his veiws, which is ironic in light of the anti-homosexual g | ff , fervore undertaken by some Christians. In Plato’s Phaedo Socrates is depicted as an old man condemned to death. He conveniently criticizes a life of bodily indulgence and hopes for death to be an eternal Shangri-La. The Phuedo had an amazing impact op phijpsophy and religion. If only Spcrates had emphasized political evil as the math sin to be aVb'lde’cl '(SS Hobbes did) instead of Wte relatively trivial ’desires of the flesh, history might have followed a different path. However the obsession with bodily “sins" perservered over the theme of social obligation. Though, many Catholics have altered their views on such Issues as favoring birth control, and premarital sex. The thoughtful decision maker undergoes self-examination and current events in addition to ancient books. Of course the Bible is a classic and many of its ideas will outlast its dusty covers. But even if religion is more than psychological utility, using the Bible as a basis for legislation is too precarious a practice for politicians. Marc Sherman Hard as in Rock To the Editor A letter to the editor concerning Neil Young’s latest concert and album appeared in Friday’s edition of The Spectrum. A portion of the letter stated, “Neil Young desires not to be sucked into the contemporary popular myth that louder and raunchier is better (a la Kiss, Aerosmith, Funk Rock and all other shit passed off as music.) What I would like to point out does not concern general lack of appreciation for hard rock musicreflected by many students and. especially today by the music critics of The Spectrum. It’s a shame that good, basic raunchy (who says raunchier isn’t better?), rock *n roll is being over looked today. Sometimes I get the impression (especially from reading many “stoned-out written” concert reviews in The Spectrum) that unless a band performs with a $10,000 lazer-light show and uses elaborate foot-pedals and electronic devices, they aren’t worth a shit. Not that I condone progressive, jazz or Jazz/fusion music. I can get into all types of music. It’s just that I don’t think people are giving hard - The Bible and judgement To the Editor. I would like to respond to the letter by Carol DiBart concerning ‘The Bible on Gay Rights’. I don’t pretend to represent the countless thousands who disagree with Carol, only myself. I would like to begin by asking Carol, and others who agree with her to give me the benefit of the doubt when I say that I am a very religious person. I believe in the Divine Illumination of Jesus the Christ. I also believe that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as well as Moses were all witnesses to the One True, Living God. Further, I believe that Muhammud and Buddha and Krishna were also Illumined by the same Living God. Unfortunately, J must confess to an inadequate knowledge of the Bible. So I won’t try to use quotations to counter Carol’s argument. Rather, 1 would point to the fact, which, I am certain, any good Christian will acknowledge: namely, that God, through the Divine Personage of Jesus the Christ is to this dya working in our midst. Now, I would suppose that God views the Covenant of Israel as a continuous, dynamic and therefore, constantly changing relationship. Or why would continued Divine Presence on Earth be necessary? Surely, the Catholic Church has changed a few things over the years because of Revelations. Of course, the Protestant sects also believe that things can change over time, The Reformation had no Biblical justification. None of us is all-knowing or all-seeing, if we were, history would be quite different. Who is this God we speak of? I have yet to be ‘born again’ so I can only see the tremendous diversity of His/Her Creation and wonder. In such a position, I find it most difficult, indeed impossible, to judge human behavior. My Masters degree in Psychology only taught me of the need to try and accept and understand what I don’t agree with. Life is a learning process. Mankind is learning to be more the children of God. And yet, in any learning there are bound to be mistakes, and I would assert that society’s repression of gaynessis a mistake. I would not presume, however, to label her reaction to homosexualities as ungodly even though I disagree; because there is truth in the cliche that God works in strange ways. Fortunately, I am convinced (as is every believer in the Divine Spirit) that ultimately there shall be peace in Heaven and on Karth. I ask Carol to remember that I also am a creation of the Christian God, and am lead to believe by all that is Christian that all my sins may be forgiven if I have the Spirit in my heart. Finally, I would like to call your attention to the First Book of Samuel 18:1. Now. who of us will dare speculate in what manner David expressed his love for Jonathap? In peace profound.

(I don’t mean the slicked-up, commercialized groups such as Boston,\Foreigner, Kansas, Journey, etc.) An ex celfehr example is the group Judas Priest” (four albums). Robert Halford, the lead singer of J.P., probably has the best voice (as far as range and intensity is concerned) of any lead singer around. From F.ngland, a group called Budgie (seven albums), are also amazing. Hard rock bands from Canada also deserve mentioning: Moxy (five albums), Trooper (four albums). Triumph (three albums), Max Webster (three albums), (loddo (twoalbums, and next month going to Fngland to record their third), and Bu/./.saw (one album). Any of the above Canadian groups usually can be seen playing in various Toronto bars on Young Street (The Glassworks, Piccadilly Tube, Hard Rock Cafe, etc.) The local rock scene in Buffalo also deserves mentioning.

The commissions are expected to meet mid-November and announcement in official the of the group’s formation and name will be made then. The coalition was agreed on last month (October) at a Detroit meeting called by Fraser who said in his invitation, “The time has come for a vigorous counterattack against the right-wing corporate forces and . the . . political system they dominate.” Organizations attending the one-day conference included 31 labor unions, and over 70 groups active in such diverse areas as civil rights, women’s rights, environmental issues, social action, consumer rights, health care, housing, tax reform, urban problems, economics, senior citizens’ rights, energy reform, education, rights of small farmers and protection for the now too familiar the “haves” take more and “have-nots” get less.

In reality, the second priority is an attempt to pressure the Democratic Party; “The strategy we propose,” said Fraser, “aims to make the Democratic Party in fact what in principle it has proclaimed itself to be since the New Deal a progressive party - struggling against the" reactionary capitalist money power of the Republicans to transform America into a fair and decent society.” Although there is a strong Democratic Congress, and a Democrat in the White House, many conference speakers observed that much of the progressive legislation proposed in the 1976 Democratic Party platform has been killed, diluted or ignored by Congress. “You don't need a new platform in 1980,” said the representative from Americans for Democratic Action, “because the 1976 one hasn’t been touched.” In several cases, notably labor law reform and the energy bill, defeat came at the hands of a well-organized and well-financed right-wing lobbying drive that reached both sides of the Congressional aisle, conferees claimed.

However, he acknowledged that the breadth of organizations represented at Fraser’s conference was far greater than previous efforts to form a progressive Democratic coalition, and therefore there was more potential to get some real commitments for change.

Each customer has a specially designed sound-system, provided by Muzak, which can pick up Muzak's 99.5 frequency. Segmented sound Muzak programs are arranged in eight hour segments to correspond with morning, evening and night work shifts. This “Stimulus Progression” provides precise and pre-programmed timing, tempo and instrumentation. For example, the morning shift wilt start the day off with a soothing melody while the night shfft walks in to a snappy rendition of a popular hit. Each Sight hour segment is further divided into 15 minute periods of Muzak followed by 15 minutes of silence. In most work situations, Muzak researchers have found, this segmented approach proves to be more effective than continuous sound. The high and low points of a worker’s physical energy-are also taken into account. During slack periods when monotony, fatigue or stress set in, Muzak responds with an increase in tempo, “bra ;y” sounds, or a change in rhythm, hopefully providing heightened stimulation and a psychological boost. Muzak originated in 1934. At that time, the recordings were transmitted via telephone lines. Today, Muzak is distributed from the parent company, located in New York City, on tape, to oyer 500 franchises located throughout five continents. Top ten tunes The trend fn "functional music” is to follow the contemporary sounds. Tunes are chosen from billboard charts. Broadway shows, and film soundtracks. Already, Muzak tapes have been affected, or infected, with “Disco Fever.” The company prides itself on using the ‘best instrumentalists in contemporary music today,” Gordon said.* As the company’s research continues. Muzak officials are finding more and more ways to apply its "sound therapy” to new environments. Results of experiments wjth Muzak to facilitate quick recoveries with cardiac patients in hospitals are currently being analyzed. Not everyone considers "functional music” a pleasant antj relaxing background of sound. Some consider it an invasion of privacy or a virtual ubiquitous force over which the worker, consumer, or customer has no control. ■p ■8 �o I • ■■■■■■■■■COUPON M ■■■■■■■■■■ M a ■■ RIP OFF OUR SPAGHETTI j ■■ !

And one cost of the administration of justice is the damage done to the participants. THough surely the emotional and spiritual damage is worse for defendants and still worse for victims the lawyer can be scarred in the process. I’ve had to adjust. Just about every client has, at some point, lied to me. Several clients have insisted on taking lie-detector tests until I've told them I believed the machine to be 100 percent effective. The few clients who have gone ahead with the test failed. But while I do consider the lie detector to be fairly accurate, 1 must confess that when I said 1 thought the machine was “100 percent effective", 1 was lying. And criminals are not the only liars.

But there’s a problem with that strategy. Nearly all my clients have been guilty of something, although occasionally not of the crime charged. In law school 1 had been taught that in protecting our citizens, it is “better 100 guilty to go free than one innocent be convicted.” I had assumed that was an exaggeration to make a point rather than a warning to consider before becoming a criminal lawyer. I have often wondered which lawyer kept, getting the “one”. Perhaps some other lawyer was getting my share. Many of my clients are monsters who have done monstrous things. They are people of bestial cruelty, without grace or remorse. One way to deal with shocking behavior is to create a separating distance. But at some deeper level, regardless of how detached one feels, there is a psychological cost of each slice of courtroom life for the criminal lawyer too long in the business. Destroying witnesses can lead to arrogance and an inflated sense of control over people that is, at times, difficult to leave behind in the courtroom. Even more dismaying, the need to function dispassionately has widened the distance between my natural emotions and intellectual reactions. In the murder case where my client was charged with murdering his daughter. I constantly resisted calling the two-year-old victim “it” in front of the jury, but it was usually what I though.

When too many such performances are successful, emotions in other contexts become successful. Disassociation Part of the problem is that the trial is ritualized aggression. The object of the contest is not “a search for truth”, it's simple a struggle for victory. Fighting as vigorously as possible to win for one’s client is in the highest tradition of the profession. The less worthy the client, the more noble the effort. (I was distressed, not long ago. to realize that I'd rather represent someone who was guilty, because the pressure of fighting for someone innocent might disturb my detachment.) This “professionalism” makes a virtue out of detachment from the client and fosters a disassociation that can distort other parts of one’s life. I see myself, finally, as having chosen to be an essential part of an arbitrary, frequently racist and often brutal process. Many defendants are convicted for acts made inevitable by poverty. When such a client df mine goes to jail, 1 am despondent not only for having personally failed in beating “the system”, but for having, in effect, been party to a savage conspiracy of a society that has failed. The courts were never intended to discipline, and they are by no means capable of regulating such a large segment of our population, which has developed its own rules of survival. Pompous judges robed in majestic principles merely administer society’s inequities. The statistics evidence the design the percentage of black and Hispanic prisoners as compared to whites is chilling. And what we do with prisoners degrades us even warehousing them wile furnishing all basic more needs except heterosex is not only silly, it’s vicious. But there’s still the dilemma of deciding what to do with a rapist, or someone who burns buildings, or a man who sprays mace at old women, or a father who bludgeons his two-year-old daughter to death. “How can you defend such people?” I am asked. Wondering My initial response is usually that everyone is, of course, entitled to the best defense. Then I admit to ego gratification and the joys of good craftsmanship. Most people nod when 1 mention the need to make a living. And it is certainly a possibility that some qf my clients are innocent. But sometimes, late at night, I think back to when I entered law school filled with high expectations and principles several hundred criminals ago.

At one point, the D.A. showed her photographs of her two-year-old daughter lying naked on a slab, her little body scarred from whipping and cigarette burns, holes visible where pieces of flesh had been torn away. 1 can still hear her agonizing wail. I then had to put the father on the stand to deny being a cold, remorseless killer. The jury had to be convinced he was human before they could believe he was innocent. But through most of his testimony he failed to change that ruthless image, speaking impassively, with a mean mask of a face.

On the left is Fuhrmann Boulevard, its noisy cars and huge trucks whining down the htghway Straight ahead is Huron Cement whose dirty brick walls are an eyesore to every citizen who rides by. Surrounded by these concrete captors is 264 acres of open green land, known as Tifft Farms. Located at 1200 Fuhrmann Boulevard, Tifft Farms has been developed as an environmental education center for the school children of Buffalo, from its use in the past as a dumping ground for industrial wastes. In 1858, the land which is now known as Tifft Farms was purchased by a man named George Tifft, after whom the farm is named. Twenty-five years later, the land was leased to the Lehigh Valley Railroad, who installed a rail and canal system on it. The passing of anti-monopoly legislation in the form of the Panama Canal Act prohibited the construction of planned dock and storage facilities. Limbo The land remained in a state of limbo for more than half a century, until it was purchased by Republic Steel in 1955 and used as a dump. In 1972 the land was purchased by the city for use as a disposal site for refuse from Squaw Island, the site of the municipal sewage treatment plant. A group of concerned citizens who wished to protect the area’s wildlife organized an informal committee to investigate the situation and after much publicity and public pressure, Tifft Farms was bom.

The game started out as a hard hitting affair. On the Patrol’s first pass completion of the game, co-captain Vic Note was hit hard by a Soul on Ice defender, and left the field bleeding. The game stayed scoreless until the midway point of the first half. After a Sou) on Ice punt went into the Beaver Patrol end zone, the Patrol took over on their own •20. On second down, quarterback Mike Abatemarco, who passed for two TD’s during the game, found no receivers open and sprinted down the right side of the field eighty yards for a touchdown. The conversion failed and the Beavers led 6-0. Soon after Soul on Ice quarterback Cgerton Maitland was led off the field after running back the ensuing kickoff to midfield. Maitland fell on the muddy turf, was stunned, but walked off with the help of his teammates. The Patrol defense stiffened and stifled the Soul on Ice drive. On the next set of downs, Abatemarco tossed a beautiful sixty yard touchdown bomb to Rich Sherman. Sherman never broke stride, easily beating the Intramural Basketball transfers The intramural Basketball season opens tonight, but due to varsity practice schedules, Clark Hall will be unavailable for Intramural use.

The Beaver Patrol ended the game for all intents and purposes, on the opening drive of the second half. On the first play, Abatemarco scrambled all the way to the Soul on Ice thirty yard line. Three plays later, he veered left and found Note, who had returned to the game, wide open to a pass in the right side of the end zone. Nole’s touchdown and the Abatemarco to Steve King conversion gave the Beavers an insurmountable 19-0 lead. Tempers continued to flare, as the Soul on Ice frustrations began to grow. After an incomplete pass, a brawl started, and a Soul on Ice player was ejected from the game. Maitland returned midway through the half, and tried to rally the Soul on Ice. A long pass put the Soul on Ice deep into Beaver Patrol territory. Two plays later, Maitland hit Charlie Spahn on a short pass, and the lead was cut to 19-7. The touchdown was only the second the Patrol had given up all season. No second chance The Soul on Ice got the ball back once more, but the Beaver Patrol wsn’t about to let this one slip away. Maitland filled the air with passes, but they fell harmlessly incomplete. Th« game ended and the Beavers and their partisan fans, went wild. Co-captains Nole and defensive lineman Mark McLane, were ecstatic after the victory. “Soul on Ice came in playing physical, but not really good football,” McLane said. “Our defense was solid as we held them scoreless until the second half. We gave them the short gains, but stopped the long gainers.” He credited Abatermarco, saying that he is “a great asset to a touch football team —Smith PRESSURING THE PASSER: Soul on lea quarterback Egerton Maitland came under heavy pressure last Saturday during his team's intramural football playoff game against the Beaver Patrol.

Former UB golfer. Dr. William Williams (1953 graduate) took the overall title with a score of 76 in two rounds. Tied for second were UB golf coach Mike Hirsch, Whitey Nichols and Jim Gallery all at 76. The tourney, which was held at the River Oak Country Club’s par 72 course, was divided into three divisions. Mike Smith of St. Francis High took the handicap division with a 67 score (79-12) while Bob Empiric, Red Evans, Tom Rush and Mike Boss combined for a 66-67 to win the two low balls in four ball competition. UB alumni got the biggest thrill out of the tournament, having the opportunity to see former UB golfers in action once again. The tournament was very successful, according to Hirsch. “I plan to follow a similar format next year,” he said, “I’d like to make it a regular thing. It’s kind of a reunion.” TONIGHT ED HOLSTEIN by Paddy Guthrie Staff Writer against the Buffalo State squad whom they were hellbent on beating. UB's Helfrich, Jean West Spectrum Vicky Meek proved to be the saving grace of the women’s field hockey team in more ways than one this season. As goalie, she let only 13 of 93 shots on goal slip past her (86 percent). “Vicky did a tremendous job in goal at every' game." related Betty Dimmick. “The would have been much higher if she hadn't been the one in there.” coach scores Meek saved not only the shots from going in but also saved her team from going down further in defeat. As it was the team only managed a 2-8-1 Season , with the offensive unit only scoring nine goals in eleven games. Holly Helfrich, high scorer of the team with six goals, scored the last goal of the season at Syracuse last Wednesday as the Royals succumbed to the power house team, 3-1. “Our record doesn't really reflect our at all,” Meek rationalized after the Syracuse game. “We lost five games by the score of 1-0. In all those games the score could have gone either way.” Only five returnees Dimmick cited the inexperience of the players as the team’s vital weakness. “There five only were returning members this year out of twenty-one. Half the squad was freshmen and five were seniors coming out for their.first year. All those young players needed was a year or two of experience,” she said. “Hopefully, next year, sixteen players will be returning so the team may perhaps finally finish rebuilding and reach its peak.” _ The team’s best and most memorable game was played and Patti protegees Adams all of State ’ coach Gail were who had previously coached them at Amherst High School.

The team is currently coming off a 2-0 loss to SUNY Albany. They finish the season with a two o’clock game today against Oswego, and a one o’clock game this Saturday versus Brockport, both at home. But soccer Coach Sal Esposito believes that the record does not show the team’s true worth. “If anyone had come to see us play they wouldn’t have believed that’s our record,” said Esposito. The Bulls played tough ball all season and were especially strong defensively. Fullback George Daddario and halfback Barry Kleeman led the team with goal-saving plays. Though forwards Ramsey Quartey and Luis Azcue kept pressure on the opposition, they were ineffective in scoring goals. “As far as scoring’s concerned, nothing’s worked. As far as playing’s concerned, everything worked well,” commented Esposito. The Buffalo coach informed that the Albany game could have been one of the team’s best, except for the fact the team was shutout.

Illogic affect the mathematician? We often suspect, but never quite conclude that the professor does something more basic and sustaining than simple teaching; that he is also a student of his discipline in some advanced state. But the research process, the scholarly side of professors, is an untouchable one: removed from the world of the student by more than a locked door or filing cabinet; defined, or perhaps ordained, by the PhD. We may be mystified, or even taken back by the “Doctor” we blurt out before our first question; and are left to imagine how much dedication and pain that title of the academic world and the beastliness of their minds, professors are individuals, well, more than the average individual. by Jay Rosen i - - - - - - — — — - Research consumes Thus, the idea behind this special issue. requires. We, the people of The Spectrum, have attempted to present here a thorough, but by no means exhaustive, look at the real life world of the faculty from the and ecstasies of the agonies thought-consuming research project to the self doubts and inner rewards of teaching at the college level. We went into this project suspecting that students particularly undergraduates realize very little of what goes on in a professor’s head. Not that we’re experts. Indeed, we found the subject difficult to approach and were hampered by: uncooperative prof’s, the diversity of views and roles within the faculty, and our own limits as a thrice-weekly newspaper attempting to freeze the world of the professor for a close, personal rendering. So the story told here is far from a complete one. Nor is it necessarily an accurate reflection of the average professor’s world. Of course, by the nature I played basketball last winter with a group of professors, one of whom taught my economics course the year before. He was young, but already the professorial type turtleneck sweaters, corduroy blazers, a deep booming voice and a well chosen, smoothly-styled speaking manner. He was the quintessential defender of cool logic and practiced reasoning, (you have to be in economics). — . — - The dichotomy On the basketball court, this smooth, dapper professor was an infamous referee-baiter, given • to wildly irrational tirades delivered with shaking fist and cursing breath to cringing 19-year-old amateur ref’s. He was also a helluva rebounder and, more predictably, a smart, effective player. And though alot of players differ on and off the court, the dichotomy in this man struck me as more interesting and revealing than the average Jekyl-Hyde case in sneakers. The point, then, of this special issue is not to proclaim the unveiling of the true-to-life professor, but rather to strike in readers the same sort of interest; and perhaps raise new questions about that smallish figure in the front of the lecture hall.

She was too handsome, had published too many poems. So, she'd tone down. —“Sayre" (Woman Professor) by Lynn Strongin In this age of liberation, more and more women are breaking into male-dominated fields. Universities most of them rich in a tradition that is peculiarly male have been slower to embrace their female faculty than most liberally-thinking, progressive sounding academicians would care to admit. Vassar College, Smith* Bryn Mawr slowly the academic world opens its doors to women via all-girl colleges. Co-education became more socially acceptable as major universities started to allow a limited number of female students.

And at this University, New York State’s public center of higher education, there are but 171 women on a faculty of 1,897. Role models The academic lives of woman professors their roles as teachers, advisors, as researchers, their day-to-day routines are more complex and-more difficult than that of her male colleagues. Communication between male and female colleagues within a department is often marred by deeply engrained but subtely revealed sexist attitudes. Sexist jokes, casual references to a female, physical appearance and to the supposed inferiority of women, leave female professors angry, resentful and uncomfortable about their place among male — — counterparts, a "1 just ra» th(em right back,” dne woman prof observed. “You have to be thick-skinned with the MCP's Treating Women as equals means to some male professors "including you in their jokes," English Professor Mili Clark said. "They have to attitude: ” The women that reaped the benefits of a college education in turn encouraged other women to pursue academic careers. But even in this age of liberation the 1970’s academia is still a male ' I Though we may first view them like any of our earlier mentors except, of course, for the casual dress, loose language and cigarette in the classroom we soon break any mental connection between what has come before in our studentship and what the smallish figure in the front of the lecture hall tells us about learning, university-style. After looking up to teachers all of our pre-adult lives, we do little more than look out upon that strange melting of instructor, scholar and eccentric the professor. Frorn the first lecture on, the professor chalks an evershifting image in our minds. Like the shapes and silhouettes that can be picked out of the afternoon clouds, professors may appear as anything we now the insidious imagine them to be snob, now the warm sensitive wise man; self-styled and ego-centric to a fault or a hard working professional deserving of emulation. We find them and perhaps they find mostly aloof creatures, spinning in us their own small spheres of interest. Only rarely, and usually by accident, do we come to know the professors offstage outside the lecture hall or laboratory role-playing. These encounters, however brief or trivial, often tell us more about professors than a dozen hours in the classroom might; for professors polish their ’ | armor to a shine and rarely bare the breast to the individual student. Hope, despair, confidence, paranoia all may spring eternal, but the average professor paints himself« a colorless portrait in the classroom, leaving students to sit and daydream: what’s he really like? Working madness That they sometimes may be prisoners of emotions or anxieties is not at all surprising but somehow significant since we view professors and they mostly view as thinkers of rational themselves thoughts. What place do jealousy paranoia, and trepidation have in a great mind, in an expert, in a wise man or woman? How does - -continued on page 6- �I u> Life and death of a salesman Professors ufith must pack their briefcases effective motivators for today's student by Denise Stumpo —Swan No more pencils, no more books— No more teacher’s dirty looks! While books and pencils may be necessary, any student knows that only the professor can make or break the class. That’s where the dirty looks come in Whether boring or stimulating, balding or afroed, the teacher is still an authority figure. Since the beginning of time, students have resisted the efforts of teachers, until either professorial wit and charm or the knowledge itself wins them over. Today; the successful prof has to be a stand-up scholar, salesman, show-off and saint. Increased college enrollments, tighter finances and the eliminatioh of many teaching positions have placed greater pressures on profs: larger classes, more courses, pupils who are here only at. their parents’ insistence and expense. The communication and transmission of knowledge has accordingly become more of an art than an activity. Performance is now part of the practice as theatrics help to -x get the theories across. ‘Try like crazy’ Students today are more sophisticated and cynical about a college education, professors agree. Most demand •information that is ‘relevant,’ and those who are apathetic almost defy the prof to move them. Prosperous times have yielded young people who have come to expect immediate gratification and entertainment. It seems that if a prof is considered boring, it’s because he relics on the subject itself to create student interest, rather than the manner in which it is presented. "As a teacher, one has to be somewhat of a ham," acknowledged Professor S.P. Prawel, who has taught here for 20 years. “Sometimes you make a fool of yourself," said the Civil Engineering prof. Humor, in the form of jokes, anecdotes or antics is considered a risk, since it often backfires. Most profs also use other techniques to get students involved, such as asking pointed questions designed to incite class discussions. "You have to try like crazy,” said Walter Gantz, Associate Professor of Communication. "The professor who doesn’t try to motivate his students is not fulfilling his duties,” he continued. Gantz, now in his fourth year of teaching at UB, regularly employs humor, eye contact, movement, questions, practical applications and personal experiences in teaching. “I utilize every possible technique,” he said. Other profs feel quite strongly that education and entertainment do not mix. "Knowledge is its’ own justification,” stated Harold Segal of the Biological Science Department. "Undergrads should be like a sponge, sopping up as much information as they can," he said. “I don’t believe in coddling them. I don’t have the time to make a sport of it. "Teaching motivated students is a pleasure," Segal continued, “but teaching unmotivated students is a drag.” Good vibes Profs claim to be very attuned to their classes, and aware of non-verbal signals in the classroom. “You can feel your class,” explained Assistant Professor Edward Rhodes of the School of Management. "Some students need to be called on, others are trying to hide.” Rhodes and other profs have recognized the "Success T,” the triangular section of class seating with which the teacher has most eye and verbal contact. Students seated in the triangle area seem to get the best grades. Verbal feedback is less frequent in the classroom. A student may hesitate to raise his hand because of the subtle way in which a prof can make him self conscious, or make his comment seem ridiculous. "Teachers have a tendency to make fun of questions," observed Rhodes, who has taught here for two years. “You have to know the student in order to crack a joke," he cautioned, “in a threatening environment little information will be exchanged.” Professor of English David Ba/elon always tells students that his bark is worse than his bite. "I try to engage students in conversation, and sometimes I have to provoke them in order to do so,” he stated. "But I have to be careful not to scare them," Bazelon said, "Students are delicate.” Profs who feel they are losing attention and control of the class may over-compensate by joking and consequently embarrassing a student, which alienates the rest of the crass. No one wants to be the next victim. —Englese can be opened up and explored. Most academians feel that undergrad education is only a stepping stone to personal knowledge. They prefer to teach graduate courses only. “Grad students have defined goals, they know more where they’re going,” said Professor of Biophysical Sciences Fred Snell. “I consult with them and learn a great deal. Graduate students accept new ideas, are less afraid of uncertainty than my peers,” he furthered. Snell, who has taught here for 19 years, urges his students to take his courses Pass-Fail. "Grades are the antithesis to learning,” he commented., "I avoid exams, which are oriented toward regurgitation.” Many profs who teach for the sheer joy of knowledge feel- that exams are an administrative function, and should not be part of their duties. "I don’t like to discuss,grades ...and 1' exams with students,” said Segal. "That’s To think o* not to bookkeeping. I* know it’s important to students, but it’s The classroom to the prof .is a* learning environment, part of their personal, not academic, lives." Segal siidhcis but students who feef great pressures to get top grades fairly generous with grades, view it as testing ground. "Students arc afraid to make Professor irvthe mistakes,” noted Joe Scibetta, Assistant Not depressing School of Social Work, "they don’t realize that mistakes Other profs, though not entirely pleased with it, can be learned from, and used creatively.” Scibetta, accept the grading system and swear they are not teaching for his first year, said that grad students especially perpetrators of the recent trend of grade inflation. “You feel that perfection is expected of them. get what you deserve,” said Gantz, who believes he is six Professors spend an average of four to hours in hardnosed about grades. time, for of class on how depending one hour preparation Professors report that they are sought out by droves familiar they are with the material and how advanced the of students during their office hours. The phone also rings students’ concepts are.

Curriculums and programs are often criticized by What possesses people to enter this rigorous across professors and students for lack of consistency profession? Most say they like the environment of semesters. Yet professors feel that the most important thing students can learn here, no matter what their area of constant learning, the opportunities for research, flic interaction with bright young minds, and the rewards of a study, is how to think; how to bring concepts together, job well done. organize thoughts, reach conclusions. Or as Rhodes illustrated, "People can make much more money elsewhere, in business for example.

Through endless speculation and imagination they have been able to claim new ground on the frontiers of knowledge. In every discipline there are individuals who dedicate their life to this ideal. A scientist works to develop a drug that will retard the growth of cancer cells in humans. In the midst of a sweltering summer in Washington, D.C., an historian analyzes documents at the National Archives. On a farm in Nova Scotia a literary critic contemplates the relationship between words and images.

Active in knowledge “Research is vital to this University," said the man who should know, Vice President for Research Robert Fitzpatrick. "The job of a university is to create and to knowledge disseminate it to students. You can't give knowledge, if you're not active in it." A steadily growing portion of the University's budget is’ the income generated by research and training grants. Now approaching $23 million, this external money is commissioned from state, federal and private foundation funds. Research grants are heavily in the sciences, particulanV the Health Sciences. In the 1ST77-78 academic year, 59 percent of tout research dollars went to the Health Science sector; while the remaining 41 percent went to non-health science related concentred fields. According to Fitzpatrick, 94 percent of all grant proposals by are the generated The science-related fields. humanities, though meager in have steadily comparison, increased their outside funding. Approximately 6 percent, or $143,590, of all sponsored research is conducted in the humanities.

Urgent research “Unless we come up with productive research, that is clinically relevant, we will lose grants to other research agencies," Rosen said. Roswell Park relies heavily on outside funding for its research activities and draws $23 approximately million outside research annually in funds.

Imagining your professor in embarrassing situations tends to make them appear “more human” and lessen the everpresent distance between student and teacher. One of Milton Plesur’s female students, however, didn’t have to use her imagination. "She saw me nude," the history professor said, then quickly added, “but I was in the gym, not the bushes.” It happened one day when she succumbed to the confusion of Clark Hall and became hopelessly lost. Seeing the familiar face of Plesur, not realizing he had just come out of the steam room stark naked, she ran up to him to ask for directions. Only then did her eyes lower and his color rise. No doubt hers did, too, for she was never seen'in his class again Red faces in high places The dignity and poise of professors can crumble in the classroom's lighter moments Shot to hell While teaching a communications course as a requirement for his doctorate David Rondon gained some insights as to the nature and effects of embarrassing situations on professors. “Students put you up on a pedestal and have high expectations," he explained. "Credibility is not static. Professors can lose their credibility in one day." This was almost the case for the gregarious Charles Cazeau of the Geology department. Cazeau, who once unabashedly threw snowballs at a student arriving late to class, told the following story. “It was my first year teaching. A student asked a question to which I hadn’t the slightest idea what the answer was,” he recalled. “I Bs-ed a reply at length and when I finished, another student raised his hand and shot my answer to hell. My credibility for the whole semester was at stake.” According to Charles Lamb, a Political Science professor, "Sometimes you have to say ‘I don’t know’. A good professor won’t be embarrassedtcrsay that." Rodon evidenced a broader outlook on embarrassment. "It’s not whether you get embarrassed or not, it’s how you deal with it,” he maintained. Cold calamity Chemistery professor Melvyn Churchill had to deal with a very unnerving incident. During a Chem 101 class, he was experimenting with liquid nitrogen. (Temperature: approximately 200 degrees below zero, celcius). He was enjoying himself until the nitrogen spilled and ran down the front of his pants. “It was a chilling experience," exclaimed Churchill with his jovial British accent. "I recall it quite vividly. I had quite a time trying to shake the icicles off certain parts,” he laughed An embarrassing moment in Saul Elkin's Career arose from the fact that large numbers of students enrolled in his Theater classes. “You can never get to know ail of them, though they feel they kijow you,” he said. "One day a young man he must have been from one of my classes approached me on the street and said ‘Saul, Alice is out of the hospital and is feeling much better’,” he related, continuing, “Having no idea who Alice or this young man were, I did the natural thing. I - by Diai me LaVallee Sexism - said, ‘That’s great. I’m glad to hear that,’ and walked away." About a year later, Elkin retold this story in another class. “The same young man, Alice’s friend, was in that class and I never even recognized him," Elkin sighed. Giddy pee-ple Most professors know that a little laughter can'break the ice in the classroom. Robert Pope’s history classes have enjoyed some warm lectures as a result. While lecturing and sitting on the edge of his desk, Pope began to unconsciously play with the waste basket at his feet. As the lecture continued, he realized that his foot was stuck in the garbage can Trying not to divert .the class’s attention from the lecture unsuccessfully material, he attempted to remove the can with his other foot. In no time, it was apparent that the entire class had focused their undivided attention on his foot stuck in the garbage can. With much humility he jumped off the desk and removed the basket manually. Biology One of the department’s Research -continued from page 2- Role model But the most rewarding aspect of being a woman professor is playing part of role model to undergraduate women and men. "Just physically being there, having students see a professional woman teaching and working is enough," remarked Nancy McGien of the Political Science Department. "We need more women professors; we need more successful women for role models," she stressed. Mill Clark uses her job as teacher to educate both sexes as to the equal status of women. “I sensitize the male students not to repeat the mistakes of their fathers as well as encourage female popular Masked pie man Certainly the most bizarre incident happened during a chemistry lecture given by Howard Tieckelmann two years ago during the "pie-kill" fad. “People would put contracts out on certain members of the faculty and administration,” he explained. “I was at the chalk board and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a student with a white lab coat and a scarf around his face walk in with a cream pie,” Tieckelmann recounted. “He came up and yelling ‘Bonzail’ hurled the pie at me. I ducked, the pie hit the board, and missed me entirely," he stated “I was about to run after the guy and jump on him, when the whole class began to cheer because he had missed me, so I let the culprit go. I wasn’t embarrassed at all, but the student must have been. I sure made him look like a fool," boasted Tieckelmann. A surprising number of .professors swear they have never been embarrassed. The English department has two of these fortunate persons. "My career has been so perfect,” marvelled Neil Schmitz. Colleague Carl Dennis has had similar luck. "My teaching experience has been a series of uneventful triumphs.” , look baby, you're one of uv.and as one of us, you can share in our jokes." To these MCP’s filar ksaid, "My upwiliingnessto laugh means there’s something wrong with me.” The subtle forms of discrimination, snide comments, off color remarks, etc. are hardest to fight. "It’s an inherent attitude,” Clark stated. "I battled it for four and a half years, then I gave up. I got tired of screaming. I was having little effect." Not alt woman profs are continually perplexed by sexism in the academy. "The first few weeks, the guys tested out all the dirty words on me. But other than that I’ve had no problems at all,” Economics Professors Barbara White said. What warms the heart of most. women professors are their relationships with students. "Teaching is a delight. It's the most important part," commented Clark. most professors, C.E. Smith, related the necessity of maintaining a proper learning environment in a lecture Embarrassing moments can destroy that environment, and essentially make that lecture useless. Such was the case in lab full of freshmen student nurses one day, Smith recalled. "They were giddy and bored with physiology,” he remembered. “We were doing urine tests with pH test paper. I said, ‘The proper pH of urine will turn the paper “pee” green.’ Before I realized what 1 had said, one girl in the back started to laugh and the whole class went hysterical. I was trying to keep a straight face so the lab could continue, but I broke up and ran down the hall to the men’s room and laughed and laughed,” he admitted. Smith summed it up when he said, “When you put hundreds of people together in one room, it always causes something bizarre to happen." students,” she said, “everyone has to be liberated.” Clark teaches courses in Milton, Chaucer and 17th Century Literature. -continued from page -4 . a nobet prize," in 1963 for Physiology and Medicine. A woman’s place Child care Psychology Professor Naomi “Society, our. culture, discriminates against the Weisstein also feels that success in professional woman,” commented Martha Fleischer, research is linked to dedication former English professor. "Repairmen expect you to and devotion. “A professor can’t sit home all day and wait for them, no matter what teach and do research at the same time unless he dedicates his life to your iob responsibilities or career,” she added. Children? "Sometimes women have to Choose both,” she claims. Weisstein does between their tenure and a baby book or baby,” research in vision, perception and Fleischer remarked. It is difficult to do both, she cognition, and has published said. "You have to have a flexible schedule. And extensively in all three areas while there's always the problem of finding adequate child remaining ajso active in the care." feminist movement. The "thirty year old panic” Hits a lot of women She feels that the particular professionals, Fleischer maintained. When women obstacles women face in research reach thirty, they know that if they want to have are "enormous” and attributes her children now’s the time, she explained. Academic professional survival to the excellence, a chance to attain notoriety, a move up emergence of the women’s movement. “I am an experimental in a department, all may have to wait. The career opportunities for women in the psychologist, a scientist. I am also academic world are discouraging. Despite affirmative a feminist because I have seen my action programs, budget crunches and dropping life and lives of women I know enrollments have slashed into hiring rates and harassed, dismissed and competition has sharpened. "Women are going to destroyed.” Weisstein feels that suffer,” Clark remarked, shaking her head. "There’s the woman who survives in lots of competition,” said Management Professor research must marshall twice as Janice Bcyer-Trice. “There’s pressure to get tenure, much dedication and devotion as a man. “It’s as if women are in a get job security; it’s hard to get published. I was not totally rigged race. Men are prepared.” i * Jfc — * — . - . driving souped-up,- low-slung racing cars, and we're running in tennis shoes we managed to salvage from a local garage sale,” she observed. A strange thing For many professor’s research is more than a chore or an activity, it is a passion. While Weisstein refers to it as “the most important thing” in her life, Literary Critic Leslie Fiedler refers to it as his "addiction.” Fiedler describes himself as psychologically dependent on writing. “When I’m not writing I feel miserable. I feel incomplete and unsatisfied with myself. I turn surly to my family and friends." Fiedler recently published his 19th book, Freaks: Semi-Myths and Images of die Secret-Self, which established him in many critics minds as the “Dean” of pop culture writers. Many professors look back on their research years with nostalgia and a little awe. "After all, if you're doing whai you want and getting paid for it that's a rather strange thing in this world,” said Rennie. �The author, ostensibly a professor, picks the teeth by - — orperish . . profession.” Teaching; doing thinking image of professors expending virtually all their energies to research, either out of personal desire or Evil creeps in “The Chairman or the Dean tell you to produce or not get tenure,” Smith said. “And if you are tenured, you’ll be miserable if you don’t continue to produce.” He said many people are dropped while working on projects because they take too long and the University is unwilling to wail. He described this as “very cruel” and allowed that "evil creeps in every now and then. They’re dropped just when they begin to flower." As severe as departmental pressure may be, peer pressure is even more acute, Smith my head. Worse, in this context, other mnemonic devices kick in and remind me of another professor’s (Thorstein Veblen) crack that we, meaning me too, simply constitute the "higher ignorance.” The adjective “higher” does little to resurrect my self-esteem. No help in that quadrant; and Veblen, a misanthrope, wouldn’t have offered it anyway. The past is no refuge either, not even when distorted. It would be nice to think of Woodrow Wilson’s generation ensconced in booklined studies in cozy institutions having commerce with truth and training Christian gentlement. But it won't wash. Wilson left truth for politics; he trained neither notable Christians nor gentlemen, thereby sustaining a great univresity tradition and both categories leave out enough of humanity to trouble me. Moreover he vigorously hated and was hated by his quondam collegues. Of course, he came to a bad end. Since everybody has to be someplace and I am here, there are advantages that can be picked from the teeth of theserealities. The pay and the perks are good. Then, too, having sailed and soldiered for a time, my longevity is probably greater than a horse marine’s, a steeplejack’s, a stunt man’s, or a buglar’s. Because longevity matters in our society, I figure I must be ahead. My office affords a fine prospect. Lost in this mall of the mind, I can ply my trade in creative destruction freed by the vast inefficiencies around me from dogmatic authority or from reformist impulses. And, given the witlessness of the architects, only an experienced guide can find me. Almost invariably I deal with intelligent people; many I don’t like, but nearly all deserve tespect and that means that I can pretend to be civilized, a nice feeling. I don’t regularly have to hurt people; and if anyone is mean to me, I retaliate by inflicting more books and articles on them, or by extending my lectures. Finally, at least twice a year I am awarded the highest gift that society can bestow its sons and daughters. And I am blessed and renewed. I know again that what was said of Nietzsche as he was hustled to the asylum is also true of me: “At last the right man in the right place!” Of course, my colleagues will not agree with much of this. — — . claimed. “Peer pressure is tremendous. They exercise powerful influence. Assistant professors live their first few years in dread. They work all night because peers expect it and the department requires it. It's a killing life.” Communications Speech Assistant Professor Walter Gantz said although he feels no direct pressure to publish from his department, he must exhibit what he has accomplished each year. And what he and his colleagues do, is crucial to their “Individuals in survival. Explained departments are .evaluated by productivity and productivity means research output, not teaching well.” Biology Professor Charles E. Smith held that research is essential because it distinguishes a university, which generates knowledge, from a college which merely transmits and preserves information. Smith, who does'no research himself due to a unique arrangement he has with the University, said the pressure to produce publishable work is enormous and comes from three areas; internally, from peers and from superiors. Shakespeare I am in way over -continued from page 5- Associate Management Professor Arun agreed that professors have shown a proclivity to publish but denied that he feels external pressure. He explained that most of it comes from within: “I have never been told that I have to publish. I do it because I like to. I don’t thinkth* dean or the president could really influencelthat. We are all very research oriented anjd we want to do it for our own interest." He said the School of Management has no set standards but that a certain parity of about one or two articles annually is established. “It would truly be a mistake to research,” Jain continued. "It would hurt the students, the faculty members, the institution and the Jain of his existence here Clifton Yearley Any effort briefly to depict what professors are really like is bound to fail by falling between banal generalities on the one hand and parochial confessions on the other. In that sense, this effort will not disappoint anyone by succeeding. Nonetheless, after thirty-two years of ostensibly being a professor, I am undaunted when it comes to menacing the public with flying leaps. No harm in it. The reader will recognize a lost cause when he sees one. Years ago a noted wit remarked that “bankers are just like everyone else, just richer." Paraphrasing that better line, it seems to me that professors are much like everyone else, except that we are more regularly inquiring and more persistently contentious. No surprise, friends, it could hardly be otherwise. For to profess is to glaim to know, which is not necessarily, as we know, the same as knowing. If that sounds like catch-up ball, that is the nature of our calling. On rare Tuesday and Thursdays or on a given Sunday every seventh year, I am quite certain that 1 have a stranglehold on some substantial part of a truth, maybe on'beauty as well. Meantime, and note there is a lot of meantime here, 1 am certain only that I have asked only the wrong questions, that I don’t know much of anything which in some form anciently the human race hasn’t already picked up with its teddy bears, that I have nothing to say and that even if I faked it there would be no point to anyone listening, or to put it more accurately, that no one wants to hear it and, certainly, no one wants to read it. Thus, what charitable but misguided souls may interpret as my calm demeanor, prescence, command, articulateness and poise, all emanating from an inner peace, is a false front. This is merely the carapace that shields the uncertainty and indecisiveness that breed the sheep flies in my vitals which abort my assault on greatness. Whatever outward poise I evince, to quote someone wiser than me (and thereby to launch another raft of straws), is the calm of the storm center. On top of this, it disquiets me to be biought-the observation of a colleague to the effect that any sophomore in Physics knows more physics than Newton did what I know of physics wouldn’t dislodge a seamstress’s forefinger from her timble and that Shakespeare knew as much about Man as we do. Between the sophomore in Physics and Publish I Teaching. The external pressure, raises the spector of a neglected, ignored student body. Do professors embrace their research at the expense of students? Absolutely not, said one Political Science professor who claimed that the best teachers arc those who arc doing the most writing. "Publishing as a very good indicator of leaching ability since it shows Ihat you’re doing thinking in your field, and work that your peers are prepared to listen to. The alternative would be a worse University and the students would be worse off. They might be receiving more but not necessarily better attention.” Jain said research U essential because it helps professors leach and enables them to better relate to their students. He said a study conducted at Wharton in which to evaluate students were asked hypothetical professors revealed a preference for instructors who have been prolific in their field. ( 'Furthermore, Jain stated that students are better off under the tutalage of a prominent scholar because it increases their marketability. "You can bring more* realism, into the classroom," he claimed, “You must be able to operationalize helps situations and research considerably." Jain struck down the notion that students are neglected by active teachers, remarking that research brings teacher and student closer together and that as a result, the two tend to socialize more. ___ No way Gantz said that research helps him to better articulate new material in an understandable fashion. He added that professors would be cheating their students by not constantly keeping abreast of new material in their field. "So much new information has come up in the Social Sciences in the last five to ten years,” Gantz said, "that if you don’t keep up, you may be presenting outdated or erroneous information. You can’t be a good teacher without research." Rubbish says Smith who calls that belief a myth. He termed the concept “self serving fiction," claiming, “Most people who do research are illiterate. They never learned how to communicate ideas. They arc undeveloped people in terms of breadth.” Smith said that the best Jeacher “is one who is doing research on a regular basis, enjoys leaching and has a high metabolic rale.” He scoffed at the quality qf research performed at UB. “This is a fourth-rate school in terms of research,” he said. "There is so much false pride. Buffalo is laughed at in the research world. People here give the internal impression that / - . ■ they’re on the brink of a Nobel prize." Smith maintained that undergraduates here are ignored and poorly taught but that they can learn despite these disadvantages because of their intellectual talent. He said students are subjected to professors who are gifted researchers but forced to teach. "The student loses by having teachers who hate him or her," Smith said. Follow your own star Most agree that a major disadvantage of having to publish for job security is ,that the field pfstpdy is narrowed. The, Political Science professor noted that ,people often work in afeas. where there are known "publishable payoffs.'* Publishing’s time keep professors from investigating more novel, unorthodox and time consuming topics, he said. Gantz indicated there are paradigms of accepted theories in every field that make it difficult to publish outside those parameters. There is a gamble in trying something new; you may become a leader in the field but may just as well come up empty handed. Wolf called English a special case, built on the principles of mid 1960’s Chairman Albert Cooke who allowed for great variety of thought and study. He said the Department was built around poets, novelists, scholars and experimental writers and fostered an \“atmosphere of pluralism (which| has allowed people to flourishon their own ideals. People can follow their own star.” Of ail the pressures great and small exerted op the faculty of ,3 large university, the inescapable peed to publish scholarly work drums the loudest in nearly every professor’s head. And at an institution absolutely devoted to churning out volume upon volume of, research, the publish or perish beat goes on and oh. , 1 A flying leap from a false front �m f The Faculty-Finder A semi-formal sampling of views on professors reveals some compelling differences of opinion In trying to get a rough handle on what students think of professors and what professors think of professors, 77ie Spectrum launched out into the university to conduct a semi-formal sampling of views on ten issues we thought were interesting. We asked 50 students and 50 professors identical questions and compared the responses in the chart below. Although students and faculty concurred on many of the issues with a surprising consistency, there were some compelling differences of opinion. With resounding force, professors insisted that they feel a sense of failure when students are not grasping the material. Only 4 percent dissented here, with 74 percent agreeing, 18 percent agreeing strongly. Students were no so convinced. Only 32 percent agreed with their teachers and 40 percent disagreed, 12 percent feeling strongly that no such sense of failure exists.

In fact, the largest “strongly” response came on the issue of salaries, 28 percent of prof’s feeling strongly that they’re underpaid, with 24 percent agreeing, but less adamantly, and an equal number disagreeing. Profs mildly scoffed at the self-doubts notion, with three of five feeling such doubts are not prominent in most professors’ minds. One of the most volatile but harmonious responses came on the issue of students in awe of professors. A healthy 64 percent of the professors perceived no such awe, with eight percent kicking in with i strong “no.” Student feelings followed very closely, differing only a couple of percentage points on all responses. Students were more likely to believe professors enjoy research over teaching; more likely to agree that younger profs are more sensitive and effective teachers; and more likely to conclude that faculty members often lose sight of the fact that students are not nearly as interested in their Research by Haruey Shapiro and Marshall Rosenthal Student!

Buffalo, who took a 7-3 3l'2l victory halftime lead, committed four turnovers in the second half, dropping their won-lost record to 3-4. Rochester took advantage of UB’s first mistake early in the game after Tony Grisanti hobbled the opening kick-off at the seven-yard line. Tony Cipolla drove a 22-yard field goal between the uprights after UB failed to move the ball on the stubborn Bulls defense. Once settled, the Bulls’ defense came up with the big play when they needed it most, playing UR even for the first half. Cornerback Kent Keating came up with a spectacular play a lunging dive at the last possible instant to break up a touchdown-bound pass from quarterback Rick Stark to his end Rich DeCantis. The Bulls followed one timely play with another when Shane Currey snuck into the UR backfield to block Tom Murrey’s punt at the midfield stripe. Rochester’s front four shut off Rodriguez from making the big play, and took over the ball on an ensuing punt. - — STORED COLO; Sam Shatkin of Racti attar it atopy ad by Frank Barratato (17) of I* in tacood quartar action —continued on page 12— Saturday.

Kurtz charged that AHA members have “been making phone calls’* in an attempt to have him removed. Kurtz, who has served as Editor-in-Chief of the magazine for the past eleven years, was dismissed on October 20 for what AHA President Bette Chambers termed “loose business and promotional activities and administrative policies.” Kurtz categorically denied the charges, calling them “a type of McCarthyism. This is an organization outside the University making totally unfounded charges.” In an exclusive statement to The Spectrum, Kurtz said that Chambers censored an insert to be included in themost recent edition of the magazine, which Kurtz edited. The insert stated that Kurtz and six other Humanist staff members were “summarily dismissed without a hearing by a faction of the Board of Directors.” of the AHA. In reply to the “loose business and promotional activities” charges, Kurtz stated that the magazine has been operating in deficit, “but we have done our best to try to correct that, as every magazine has had to.” The AHA is a national organization of advocates of humanism, a philosophy expressing the nonexistence of God, the ability of man to function as an independent, self-reliant being, and the need for human cooperation to solve world problems. Kurtz has also been active as a spokesperson for the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims fo the Paranormal (CSICP), a group dedicated to investigating sensational claims of UFO’s, psychic healing, clairvoyance, and related subjects. On October 20, the AHA Board of Directors met and moved to dismiss Kurtz from his Editor-inrChief position and revoke the charter of the magazine. The decision of the Board, of which Kurtz is a voting member, was to name Lloyd L. Morain the new Editor-in-Chief and to place The Humanist under-the directives of the new charter. No effect Morain has edited four of the last six editions of The Humanist while Kurtz was on sabbatical, but Kurtz points out that beyond that Morain had “no experience in editing a national magazine.’’ Although the magazine will “continue to follow the high editorial standards set in past years,” according to the AHA spokesperson, Kurtz believes that The Humanist will present a “lower level of intellectual quality, a more folksy attitude.” Kurtz’s firing, he believes, is Mnked with the question of whether the AHA Board of Directors or the Editor-in-Chief should have control over the magazine. Both the AHA and Durtz agree that the magazine was almost totally autonomous under Kurtz’s direction, but they differ violently over whether it should remain that way. Kurtz noted that “it is ironic that an organization like the AHA* so dedicated to freedom of speech and idea, should limit the freedom of it’s official publication in this manner.” Under the new charter, control of the paper will Lie in the hands of the Board of Directors, Kurtz contends. Kurtz doesn’t think his dismissal as The Humanist Editor-in-Chief will affect his CSICP position. “That, he says, “is a completely autonomous organization.” In an article in last Friday’s Courier-Express, Sidney Hook, one of the five Humanist staff members who tendered their resignations after Kurtz’s dismissal, stated he thought the firing might have had a personal basis. Kurtz declined to comment on that possibility. ‘The members of the AHA have the highest esteem for Kurtz, and the greatest respect for his abilities. God, I wish I had his energy,” stated a spokesperson for the atheistic organization. Inside: Record Co-op suit—P. 2 / President Jimmy Carter paid a brief visit to Buffalo on Saturday in an effort to strengthen Governor Hugh Carey’s re-election campaign and to announce a new development in the Middle East peace negotiations. “We’ve had trouble in recent hours with the Middle Eastern peace talks,’’ said Carter. “I contacted President Sadat, he sent me word; ‘I’ll do what my friend Jimmy Carter asked me to do and leave the negotiators there.’ On Friday the peace talks had run difficulty regarding into Israel's settlements on the West Bank of the Jordan River. Newspapers across the country had announced in their Saturday editions that Egypt morning would soon recall its negotiators.

The new system, thanks to modern computer technology, is able to turn manual laborers into finely-tubed, highly efficient human machines whose every muscle movement is timed and regulated down tb the split Works. Taylor popularized time study second. But there’s one hitch: The human machines are rebelling. Last April, the Safeway retail chain brought in a flood of roving supervisors armed with stop of the labor process, using a slop watch to measure the elapsed time for each step of production. As associate of Taylor’s, Frank Gilbreth, added the concept of motion study shortly afterward. Gilbreth classified all the basic motions of the body, regardless of the particular work being done. He analyzed these movements by the using photographs of work-place with laborers’ paths , watches to its huge Richmond, California, distribution center and announced it was beginning a new Work Rate System.

Most of these parties admit that they are not very likely to win the election, but they do hope to use it as atyjp port unity to espouse their various political beliefs. For example, the Right to Life party and its gubernatorial candidate. Mary Jane Tobin, hope to use the campaign to gain support for their efforts to have this state’s liberalized abortion law repealed and prevent the reinstatement of the death penalty. The U.S. Labor Party has a broader aim. intend to bring about a new industrial revolution in this country," said Philip Rubenstein, rhe USLP’s candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Rubenstein detailed that .the party supports the continued development of nuclear power "as a way of decreasing our dependence on foreign oil” as well as the reopening of the West Valley nuclear reprocessing facility. “West Valley is viable,” insists Rubenstein. “All that's needed is an influx of technology to solve the problems of disposal of nuclear wastes.” USLP gubernatorial candidate, Paul Gallagher, announced Thursday his opposition to the decriminalization of marijuana by the State Legislature and the “failure of the Carey administration to deal with the rising tide of drug use.” *p Seek help from SA { U) Gray Panthers on the prowl for alternate source of funds by Elena Cacavas Contributing Editor The UB branch of the Gray Panthers, a national group organized by and for senior citizens, is on the prowl for a new source of financial support.

In these days of Proposition 13 and the like, Greenberg felt that his party would do very well this year. Marxist groups The Communist and Socialist-Workers parties, are both Marxist groups. Dianne Feely, gubernatorial candidate for the Socialist-Workers party, spoke several times at UB last week. Feely illustrated that “the party seeks human needs before profits,” by shortening the work week with no reduction in salary “to provide jobs for all who heed them.” She also urged a full defense of abortion rights and affirmative action programs as well as the “establishment of full civil and social rights to gays.” The Communist party has almost precisely the same goals and as the Socialist-Workers party but both refuse to admit it, calling each other “reactionary”. The Communist slate is headed by Jarvis Tyner, their candidate for governor. According to the official party newspaper, The Daily World, Tyner is promoting “emergency measures to build massive new housing, provide a. million new jobs, municipalize the utility monopolies, alleviate the tax burden on working people and carry out a comprehensive affirmative action • program.” V To be on the ballot, each of these parties has had to collect at least 20,000 names bn petitions and submit the petition to the State Board of Elections. It is the hope of each party to get at least 50,000 votes on November 7 which would automatically place that party on the next ballot without having to go through the rigorous petitioning procedure. The last party to win automatic placement on the ballot and maintain it was the Conservative party in 1962 with 141,877 votes cast. objectives ■ “In a meeting with MFC that night they asked me to shave my foi $2600 request budget 1978 1978,”Kramer maintained. “After 1 said 1 could get by with $1500 for the year, 1 added that $600 was needed for Kuhn.

CNDAII �in the groove n nickels Record Co-op is still Cavalawsuit limited by by Carole Amos Spectrum Staff Writer Three years after Carl Cavage, owner of Cavages Record Stores, dragged the UB Record Co-op into a time consuming and damaging law suit, the Squire Hall based outlet continues to operate under the restrictive guidelines imposed by University President Robert Ketter. The Co-op has been forced to severly limit its hours and overhead in order to prevent its total shutdown by the University administration while the court battle ensues. Ketter has come under repeated criticism from students for imposing the restrictions which he claims he must mandate in order to comply with SUNY Mandatory Fee Guidelines Students have consistently noted that other Presidents at SUNY schools allow record co-ops to exist free from the burdens of such restrictions. Cavage claims that the Record Co-op represents unfair competition since it is tax supported as part of the SUNY system and does not have to pay rent. It is widely believed that the outcome of the court case wilf spell the fate for co-ops of all kinds throughout SUNY. v — ' ' - Dig their groove Record co-ops exist at other SUNY schools under the same conditions as the co-op here: they are all non'-profit and operated on school grounds. The co-op at Fredonia was open for one semester, but did not re-open because of student disinterest. A Student Association (SA) representative expressed surprise upon hearing of UB’s guidelines. He said, “We were lucky to take $.100 a week! No one ever mentioned guidelines. I guess we were too small to cause any trouble.” The SUNY Binghamton co-op takes in approximately $400 per day in business, according to Manager Jeff Rosen. “We have no guidelines except that the SA checks our books once a month,” Rosen said. “They give us the money to run this place so they want to know how it’s spcjrt.” No complaints have been heard from the city’s other record stores. “There’s been nothing said but if you guys loose your case, who knows what would happen,” Rosen remarked. The SUNY Albany co-op has just recently been given a permanent location Co-Manager Hope Margulies explained its business is small approximately $12,000 a year because the co-op has been forced to relocate a few times. “Even if we achieve the volume that you have,” she commented, “I don’t think that well have the same problem because we get our recordsfrom the only big store in town. So the more we sell, the more money they make!” - — Could mean trouble SUNY Stony Brook’s co-op which has been open for five years, is run by an on campus corporation which also controls a food co-op, a coffee shop, and an ice cream shop, among other businesses. The record co-op’s volume is $150-$200 per day. Co-op officials have had no complaints and the co-op has no restrictions. Stony Brook does have an outside auditor to check the books semi-annually as well as a full-time bookeeper. Manager Steve Finkelman said, “No one feels that we are competition, but 1 can see that the outcome of your case will affect us as soon as our business is comparable to yours. If you lose this, it would definitely mean trouble for us.” Long saga UB’s co-op started in 1971 with a small table in Squire Hall. From its modest beginning, the fledgling co-op grew until it was moved to a small room in the basement of Squire Hall, where it continued to prosper reaching short-lived peaks of $20,000 worth of business per month. In October 1975, Carl Cavage, owner of the multi-branch, multi-million dollar Cavage Records, complained to University Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty, that the co-op was hurting his business. Doty ordered the co-op to shut down by November 7, 1975. indeed, when a25, complained to University Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Students’ cries of protest were heard lung and loud loud enough for Ketter to re-open the co-op under strict guidelines. Immediately afterward, however, Cavage filed suit against the co-op. He claimed, “the contiftued use of resources of New York State to conduct ruinous competition with private enterprise is contrary to the charter of the University and a misues of public funds.” — — Being negotiated The situation still stands, unchanged from that day. The case is still in court awaiting resolution. Ketter’s guidelines are still in effect. The co-op can take in no more than $10,000 per month, its inventory can not exceed $20,000 at any time, and it is prohibited from advertising. Before the guidelines were imposed, the yearly sales were over $250,000. The yearly volume is now limited to $120,000, which has forced co-op officials to limit store hours to ten each week. Present Manager of UB’s co-op Alan Stein said no one has a clue as to the outcome of the case. “If the co-op loses the suit, there are two alternatives: either appeal the decision, or close altogether,” he noted. Student Association attorney Richard Lippes, representing the co-op, indicated that the involved parties are negotiating an out-of-court settlement. Lippes could not disclose the current standing of the talks. “If we do go to court,” he said, “the precedent that this case would set depends upon how the judge views the case.” If the judge regards the case broadly, and the suit is lost, hte legality of any student service from UUAB films to The Spectrum could be challenged. v *... / by Leah B.

You are covered for one full student health under year insurance. Any registered student here is eligible for this insurance plan. Dependent spouses and children over 14 days of age and dependents up to age 19 may be included for coverage. The benefits of the insurance plan are divided into three Accident Medical categories: Sickness Benefits, Expense Medical Expense Benefits and the Supplemental Expense Benefit. The Accident Medical Expense Benefits covers any injury requireing treatment by a legally qualified physician or surgeon, the services hospitalization, and rendered by practical registered nurses, x-ray services, use of operating room, anesthesia, laboratory services, medicines, surgical dressing, casts, the use of an ambulance, wheelchairs or crutches. You are insured for 52 weeks after the time of injury for up to $1,000. Sickness Medical Expense Benefits cover medical expenses within 52 weeks of the date of the first medical treatment for each sickness. Again, you are covered for up to $1,000. This includes: room and hospital board. University Health Service room and board, miscellaneous hospital expenses (x-rays, medication, lab tests), pre-admission tests benefits (out patient tests ordered by a physician), surgical operations, second surgical opinion fees, physicians’ fees, in or out of the consultants’ fees, hospital, ambulance expenses, out patient expenses, abortion (for all expenses resulting from an abortion), and maternity care expense. The Supplemental Expense Benefit pays for 80 percent of the medical expenses over $1,000 to a maximum of $5,000.

The elections, set to begin last Wednesday, were halted late luesdaynight when SWJ issued a restraining order. That order stated that the student body would suffer "irreparable harm” if the elections were to take place prior to a ruling on the constitutionality of Mott's decision. The case pits the plaintiffs Treasurer Fred Wawrzonek, Director of Academic Affairs Sheldon Gopstein, Director of Student Affairs Lori Pasternak, Director of Activities and Services Barry Rubin and the SA Executive Committee against Mott. Acting SA President Karl Schwartz and S.A.. by Alan Cohen Spectrum The Student Bar Association (SBA) is holding a student-wide referendum today and tomorrow in an effort to change what it considers to be the Law School’s nebulous grading system. The Law School currently employs a four tier system using the letter grades II (Honors), Q (Quality), D and F. Although an H can be considered to be equivalent to an A, a Q may represent anything from a B plus to a C minus and it is this gradesparked which has the controversy. SBA President Tony Leavy said many faculty members feel the vague Q grade encouraged students to put in less effort since a C student can get the same grade as a B student. Professor William Greiner and some of his peers have criticized less being system the as competitive than those utilized by other law schools. And SBA member Ted Donivan claimed: “There is also a psychological problem with giving so many students Q’s. There is no ranking between different students who get this grade.” At this evening's hearing, both the plaintiffs and defense will at a later time if the call for the elections is constitutional. Late Monday afternoon, the plaintiffs petitioned SWJ to force Mott to show cause why there should he new' general elections. The Court denied the motion for the show cause order, but granted the restraining order, effectively quashing last week's elections. Last October 18, SWJ denied a previous request for a restraining order stating that the student body would not suffer irreparable harm if the elections were to be held as planned. deliver their arguments.

Limited funds and student apathy have made it difficult for IRC to “function in the best interests of the students,” Paul informed. He added that the reputation of the previous administration has induced student disinterest, despite a membership basically as strong as last year’s. “That administration,” he said, “seems to have left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.” According to Paul, debts incurred last year were just recently paid out of current funds. “Movies, food service bills for beer blasts, lock changes, and unpaid telephone bills all totalled up to about $2500. The last administration just dropped too many items in our laps to cope with immediately,” he said. Stating that financial matters are now cleaned up, Paul commented that the “failure” of last year’s IRC has imposed upon the present administration . He added, however, “The Housing Office and Student Association feel we’re making good progress considering the obstacles we have and have yet to overcome.” Council (IRC) views itself as “making progress - Recommendation Twenty IRC membership this year has brought the Council’s budget to approximately $25,000. Figures show that Main Street membership has risen and Governor’s has dropped. Describing IRC’s system of allocating funds, Paul said that project plans, rather than area membership, determine the Council’s support, “if Governor’s is hypothetically ten percent of our membership, that doesn’t mean that ten percent of our funds are allocated toward their activities,” Paul stated, adding that plans for a “viable” activity, at Governor’s receive as much support as plans for the other two areas. —continued on page Seniors and Graduate Students.

Freedom of the mind The American Humanist Association's (AHA) caJI for the dismissal of Paul Kurtz as a philosophy professor here following his removal as Editor-in-Chief of The Humanist, the organization's official publication, raises serious ethical questions. While we would not deny the AHA its right to hire and fire individuals as it pleases, we are concerned with its interest in spreading its wrath towards Kurtz outside the domain of the organization. According to a press release, Kurtz was relieved of his duties for "loose business and promotional activities," a charge which Kurtz feels is damaging to his reputation even if unsubstantiated. Kurtz, and others within the AHA who support him, claim that he was fired for personal, not professional, reasons, and five members of The Humanist's editorial board have tendered their resignations in support of him. Whatever the reasons, concrete or fabricated, they should have no bearing at all on Kurtz' position within the University. We are not too concerned that a tenured professor will lose his job, but hostile AHA members could try to make Kurtz' life here so unpleasant that he could be moved to resign. It is curious that the AHA, which is dedicated to the freedom of the mind, should fire its publication's Editor-in-Chief and rescind its charter so that the Board of Directors can maintain more control. It is dangerous when this free thinking body attempts to impose its decisions on others and tampers however subtly with academic freedom at a university. ... To the Editor. I'm so fed up with the people who can t speak English, that I’m seriously thinking of getting put of this place. I was, in August, actually enthused about coming to UB, it would shape my future and get me on the road to a well-paying, enjoyable job.

I am refering to the parking facilities on the Amherst Campus, SUNYAB. It si a problem not for students only, but for staff and faculty who also have to spend more than fifteen minutes looking for a place to park their cars. The person or persons who designed these parking lots didn’t think of the library moving from Main Campus to Amherst Campus. Besides this everybody knows that SUNYAB made a new record admitting new students this year and it doesn’t matter that they are still offering new and more courses if there is nowhere to park to reach the course. The winter is coming and the snow acummulation in the parking lot is going to make it less spacious than it is right After Spectrum reading the article in Wednesday’s The on the condition of Fargo Cafeteria, I was left with the impression that the students involved were, once again, brushed aside, along with any rights they may be entitled to. Mr. Cudeck’s statement implies that because conditions could be worse, we should accept conditions that are bad. There seems to be one facet of this problem that has been overlooked; THIS IS WHERE WE LIVE! Would a situation of this sort be acceptable in any other living environment? I think not! Vandalism here has become more than a few drunkards getting carried away. It has chipped away at a respect for our living environment and at a social consciousness that recognizes the rights of the individual to remain free from fear. It is instant, visible hypocracy to destroy an environment students are constantly seeking to improve. We do not doubt that the alienation and frustration that often comes with being a student here sting somewhere in the vandal's mind. But we have more difficulty imagining a way to ease whatever sociological forces are at work than we do picturing what the average student might do to help curb Vol. 29, No. 30 Monday, Editor-in-Chief — 30 October 1978 Jay Rosen Managing Editor David Levy Managing Editor Denise Stumpo Business Manager Bill Finkelstein - — Just when i think I’ve gotten over the crest of bewilderment and basic ignorance and have approached some understanding of the way political and economic systems combine to pattern the environment in which 1 exist; just when things like urban decay, social stratification, the business of business and the political power game have begun to make some sense, something a compelling conversation, an insightful journal, a head-snapping sweeps me under like a trap door, back /experience to the basement of understanding, where the smallest fact revealed may instantly . change my views; where an intellectual .peace with my environment is shattered daily by the unanswerable questions rifling through my mind; where every new thing i read and hear can bring the realization that another layer of ignorance has been placed over the unreachable core of Comprehending the world.

Still a little confused? Try just try to figure out how the economy works and what causes Inflation by listening to the experts.

One is just to keep your distance, don’t bother, stay ayay. Well, ignorance may very well be bliss, but it’s boring as hell believing such pristine things as a university exists for its students, politicians are elected by the people, corporations care about their customers. Td fall asleep with those comforting thoughts. The other route is, of course, to surrender to a rampaging dogma that can explain everything in its path: the power of positive thinking, i.e. “I am positively right about what I positively knew all along and don’t bother me with positively conflicting details.” Under this approach, you come to your theories and stand intrepidly behind them, remaining an intellectual Alamo no matter what the costs. We all know professors like this, daring in their arrogance and corduroy jackets to think that they have it all figured out; bending and hammering all issues into submissive agreement with their published or spoken theories on the world. “It’s all television!" one screams. “No, it’s alt capitalism!” his colleague insists. “You’re wrong,” spouts a thirds “It’s all — - - - latent homosexuality.” It’s all monotonous, I say, believing you’re right all the time.

The driver unfurrowed his •Jrrow. To his astonishment, the ancient dog-walker had vanished. His wife was flabbergasted; she had also witnessed the dematerialization of the old fellow and his dog. Wife and husband searched, in vain, for the disappeared duo. Ahead they discovered a massive road block. The road ended in a dense forest.

With an eerie gleam in his eye, Dye recounted the story of a man whose house was inhabited by a ghost. The man had remarried a short time after his first wife passed away. The couple remained in where the newlywed the house first wife, a devout Catholic, had lived. The walls of the rooms were covered with religious . pictures, statues and crucifixes.

Was she protecting a territory which she still felt to be her own? These mysterious questions vexed the couple and they turned to Dye for advice. the former wife “Maybe doesn’t realize she’s dead or maybe she’s resisting that fact,” he explained. Dye advised the couple to deter the spirit by rearranging the furniture, painting a wall or two, and firmly telling the ghost, “You’re dead, go away.” The newlyweds did just that and from then ori their earthly possessions were undisturbed. Most spirits are benevolent, Dye related. “The most common kind of ghostly manifestations is for the handicapped Various services are available to assist students who have a medical and/or physical handicap experience as full and as successful a college life possible.

Fashion on Campus Casual vs. Chic by Leah B. Levine / / don't wear nothing not too fussy or neat just want something I can wear out on the street Hey baby, Igt's get on down to the boutique Let’s bring back something that's funky but chic D. Johansen and S. Sylvain Your sex, your physical features and your clothes are the initial things most people notice. However superficial, these qualities determine how people first react towards each other. The fabric of a woman’s dress once indicated her social status; a gentleman’s was determined by the length of his waistcoat. Townspeople were easily distinguishable from the country folk by their clothing. Little has changed. We still classify people by Their clothing. A young man wearing a football jacket, tube socks and Nike sneakers (preferably the high top leather kind) typifies the “jock.” A college-age woman adorned with gold jewelry, Vidal Sassoon and often jeans and a Hukapoo blouse may be is stereotypically referred to as “Jappy.”. UB is an ornamental salad of hip, straight, and — — everything in between. Gucci, Gucci Glance up for a moment and notice the whirlwind of college fashion around you. Today, anything goes; unless you can afford designer name clothing (e.g. Gucci, Pierre Cardin), anything from Bobby socks to "love beads” is in vogue around campus. Roseanne Gerace, Assistant Junior Women’s buyer at L.L. Berger’s downtown asserts, “Fashion always repeats itself so you shouldn’t throw anything away.” Emerging today is the 1940’s look. “The clothes are getting slimmer,” says Gerace, “straight leg pants, narrow skirts, and padded shoulders are coming back in.” The big evening style is the "Tango Look,” a combination of high glamour, and the "Hustle Look.” What influences the styles? "Mostly I think it is the jnusic,” relates Gerace, Grease and Saturday Night Fever had a great influence on fashion along with women’s fashion magazines such as — Vogue." Gerace feels that women are more clothes conscious today than they were about twenty years ago, attributing the difference to such designer influences as Anne Klein and Diane Von Furstenburg. And Men’s fashions? I dress grubby The variety of styles for men have remained somewhat limited over the years-when compared to women’s clothing. However, Michael Strange, a men’s clothes buyer for Berger’s believes, “Men are far more clothes Conscious today than they were five years ago. (They) are coming into their own clothes-wise, and are even starting to da their shopping.” Strange reports that men’s fashions today are more “individual-conscious.” “There is a concern now with the' quality of clothing: the way it looks, the way it feels.” “In the rooming I dress for myself,” relates one nicely clad blond male, "But when I go out for the evening, I’m geared towards impressing own ' always in season (bottom). others." Another revealed, “If I feel bad, I dress grubby.” Female students tend to express the same response.

He was pronounced dead that evening from multiple After a victorious battle to repeal the S17 mandatory student health fee. the Student Association of the State University (SASU) will re-direct its major lobbying efforts on a variety of chest and abdominal wounds. Rivera, who is being represented by local attorney Terry Naples, has waived his right to trial by jury. The case is being heard by Justice Leon issues S/\SU the statewide lobbying organization comprised of representatives from each of the SUNY schools received a 'commitment from Governor Hugh L. Carey two weeks ago to repeal the mislabeled health fee. Tire fee was being used to offset a S2.3 million budget cut. not to supplement health services as had been originally announced. In accordance with Governor Carey’s concern for adequate health insurance at all SUNY schools, SASU will meet with Carey’s Education and Cultural Advisor. Henrik Dullea to help formulate the soon-to-be proposed Health Foundation Plan. Former Executive Vice President of SASU Arthur Hi4algo is examining the problems of the financial aid System. He believes the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) does not support as many students as it should. SONY Vice Chancellor of Special Programs George Blair is working to reinstate tutoring and counseling services, according to SASU Director of Communications Dennis Enright.

If the Court finds the suspect insane he will be remanded in the custody of the State Commissioner of Mental Hygiene. Assistant District Attorney Barry Zavah. who is prosecuting , the case, would not estimate when a verdict would be rendered. IRC —continued from page 5 ... A major concern of IRC centers around housing facilities. Paul informed that funds are being channelled toward off-campus housing improvements and efforts are being made to insure new students a place to live. Recommendation Twenty, a recently formulated proposal involving residence maintenance, has been submitted to the Office of Housing. The IRC proposal recommends That residence hall representatives consider ways in which minor custodial responsibilities can be assumed by residents themselves. Through this proposal, IRC is attempting to give students sufficient power whereby they will avoid red tape about menial tasks, Paul said. However, the largest deterrent to the recommendation i*s “a very disappointing turnout of floor representatives at area meetings,” according to Paul. Making progress Last year’s Inter-Residence Council Business (IRCB) records chart profits just below $600,000, from vacation travel services, refrigerator rentals, and the operation of the three on-campus “delis” The Underground, The Ellicottessen, and The Grub. Head of IRCB Matt Cornick said “The stores are doing better than last year. Most of last year’s profits went back into the stores for facility improvements." Cornick attributed this year’s success to a strong Board of Directors Another recipient of a provisional IRCB grant was the on-campus radio station, W1RC. While WIRC received $3000 in funds last year, it is estimated that additional support would allow the station to eventually become commercial. Presently, IRC’s most recognized activity is the presentation of movies. Although films currently shown are relatively recent releases, most were ordered last year. Paul expects that beginning next month newer selections will be offered. — and counseling services. Another problem stemming from the Statewide funding of SUNY schools and light fiscal grasp of the Division of the Budget (DOB) is the limited allocations allowed for inter-collegiate athletics. A majority of state universities fund inter-collegiate athletics 100 percent, but SUNY only covers 70 percent of the cost. Enright is hoping SASU can increase the amount of funding for next year. Statewide reform SASU will also direct its lobbying efforts to gllow students the right to vote in the area where they go to school. Board of Elections regulations have prevented SUNY Buffalo students who are not from Erie County to register to vote here for next week's elections. Although students here are fighting this on the local level with the assistance of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), S’ASU will concentrate on Statewide reform. SASU will hold its annual membership conference at this University November 3-5. In addition to its major goals, representatives will discuss the problems at Old Westbury College where students have been plagued with inadequate classrooms and a limited supply of badly needed textbooks. The College is mostly comprised of Third World and minority students, which Enright believes is the reason it has been “overlooked” by the State. Karen Shapiro — Arson suspected in Binghamton fires, precautions are installed — The smoke has long since cleared, but it is now apprehension that fills the air at SUNY Binghamton. Students and administrators have joined to institute precautions in the wake of a round of dormitory fires, one of which left about 100 residents of Lehman Hall 'temporarily homeless. Arson is suspected as the cause of the blazes. Head of Binghamton Security, John A. Schwartz, was quoted in the student newspaper Pipedream as saying, “We’re investigating a very suspicious fire; there are no prime suspects.” Security patrols been stretched from 8 to 12 hour shifts in the wake of the fires.

Severe damage precludes opening the first floor of the East Wing until at least next semsster. Binghamton University President Clifford Clark made arrangements with a nearby motel to house the displaced students. The Colonial Inn 'is providing rooms at a reduced rate. Actually, the University is paying resident’s housing refund directly to the motel, so that the students will not have to pay. Although there is tripling in some rooms, Ferzinger said, all students f&ve been accomodated. The cause of the Lehman Hall blaze has yet to be determined, but authorities suspect arson. Four bulletin board fires occured shortly after the Lehman fire in other campus buildings.

Firestone has also been ordered to recall the 1975 and 1976 TPC steel belted radials, originally on new General Motors cars. The terms of the recall agreement specify that Firestone will replace all 500’s with the company’s rumors that Firestone would continue its opposition to the recall. Company sources revealed that Firestone only accepted the federal agreement after it was written into the agreement that the company would receive a tax deduction for absorbing losses levied by the recall.

In response to the information gap, Academic Advisement has established a Peer intervention from the professional staff, Blatt related. “Problems occur when students are working exclusively: they’re unable to get cooperation, they leave when they trained students who counsel fellow "students on academic opportunities, services and programs at the University. The Peer Advisors, chosen last spring, are “a group of twelve students who possess decent cumulative averages, commitment, a positive attitude and a desire to help,” explained June Blatt, Senior Academic Advisor and ining Coordinator. The group received training by attending weekly seminars and lectures, as well as on the job experience. the professional staff. Assistant Dean and Director of Academic Advisement Marilou Healy stated. “As the University tightened its belt, the advisement staff has been reduced in size from twenty-two professionals to twelve, causing the number of students assigned to an advisor to increase from one hundred and fifty to eight hundred,” she detailed. “With a caseload of eight hundred students, it’s difficult to convince Advisement Program.

Throughout the preliminary rounds, it had been Buffalo coach Peter Weinreich’s strategy to give reserves Bardak. Diane Nelson and much action this year, and needed the experience. Weinreich noted. The move also gave Buffalo's regulars a chance to rest before the playoffs. Plenty of rest seemed like a good idea since someone had forgotten to turn down the heat at Canisius' Koessler Athletic Center, and with temperatures soaring into the 8D’s. many players tired faster than usual. However, the rest didn’t help The Royals were aiming for their fourth straight Big Four title, but Wednesday was not their night. They began the preliminary rounds by barely defeating Canisius by two points. (Each of the preliminary found matches consisted of only two games and if the teams split the games, total points were used to decide the match.

B.H ISRAEL INFORMATION CENTER, JEWISH STUDENT UNION, CHABAD AND HILLEL present ISRAEL INFORMATION DAY — 3 pm The Vellowjackets made a serious error in judgement at the outset of the second quarter when they elected to go for a first down with eight yards to go, even though they were in close proximity for C’ipolla’s field goal foot. Reserve quarterback John Kowba overthrew Andy Fornarola, who was covered like a glove by Frank Berrafato, deep in the end zone. The Bulls then followed with a 78-yard TD drive in the time it takes speedster Gary Quatrani to sprint down field. On a third down play, quarterback Jim Rodriguez fired long to Quatrani, who after slowing down to catch the ball, left his double coverage in the dust 10 yards away. Rodriguez and Quatrani teamed up for seven passes on the afternoon, but except for the one explosion, were rendered ineffective for the major portion of the day. One explanation perhaps was the absence of Frank Price, who coming into the contest had been the Bulls' leading receiver and Rodriguez’ main target in the clutch. “He gave us a little more speed," noted Assistant Coach Denny Mason. “Grisanti and Tony Forrmttp caught the ball, but are a step or two slower than Frank.” Price injured his knee in practice last week, but though he was reported feeling no pain Saturday, Coach Bill Dando decided not to risk further damage and held Price out. Minus 41 yards Rochester failed to capitalize on excellent field position twice at the end of the second quarter. Cipolla missed a 32-yard screen which gave UR a first down at the Buffalo 15. Minutes later when the Bulls were forced into a punt formation, the snap to punter Gary Monaco went 10 feet over his head. Monaco scooped up the ball, hobbled it ala Garo Yepremian, then dove on it for a vnet loss of 41 yards. Once again, thf-Yellowjackets turned down the field goal opportunity from the eyght yard line. UB’s Kevin Groody sacked Kowba from the left, ending the half with UB holding the edge. Rochester took possession at the start of the second half and completely turned their game around. Controlling the ball for 8:30 of the third quarter, the Yellowjackets marched 80 yards in 15 plays to take a 10-7 lead. Moments later* the Bulls lost their chancerof a quick comeback when Sam Shatkin ran a sucker play right up the middle and went 70 yards untouched. Shatkin finished the game 96 yards in 18 carries. The UR scoring barrage still had one more trick to pull on this Halloween weekend, and treated themselves to a Rodriguez screen pass. Rodriguez attempted to lob the ball out to Mark Gabryel, but a brief moment of hesitation made the ball float out about three yards and into the hands of a surprised defensive end Phil Newman. Newman returned the errant pass for another score, and a 24-7 lead, “You can’t have those kinds of errors,” said Mason, “Jimmy came out throwing well in the second half. When you have to throw, you have to go to a drop back passer. We did generate some offense, but too little too late."” The Bulls did cut the gap in the fourth period, making the most of a serious UR mistake. Mark Maier dropped a punt at the 12-yard line and Grisanti recovered. Rodriguez hit a spinning Gabryel at the goal line for a seven yard TD which made the score 24-13. The teams traded scores in the waning moments of the contest to close the scoring. Sophomore fullback Jeff Martin scored his first touchdown as a Bull with a minute remaining off a 25-yard throw from - Rodriguez.

In it, he revealed optimism about the upcoming grid season, but noted that the Bulls were playing a tough schedule, which might make improving their 5-4 record a tough task. The Bulls opened up 1958 in Cambridge, Massachusetts by escaping with a 6-3 win over Harvard. Buffalo looked a bit shaky against the Crimson, but Joe O "Grady blocked a goalline punt and Nick Bottini fell on the ball in the end-zone for the game’s only touchdown. Today the same -Joe O’Grady is still involved with UB football, as the coach of the receivers. In 1978, Cortland handed Buffalo a 35-14 loss, but in ‘58 it was the Bulls who' handed out the losses. Though their offense still showed no signs of life, sophomore quarterback Joe Oliver mustered up one 53 yard drive, which was capped by Dick Van Valkenburg’s 14 yard run for a score. A home-coming crowd of 10,000 greeted the Bulls at Rotary Field at homecoming, but were disappointed as the Bulls were bombed by Baldwin-Wallace College. The Yellowjackets were later found guilty of having an ineligible player and offered to forfeit the game to UB. But Buffalo refused to accept the forfeit on the ground that “Football games are won on the field and not by rules and regulations.” Offenhamer finally got the opportunity to test his bench in the fourth game when the Bulls got their offensive show together and stopped a strong Columbia team 34-T4 before 13,000 at Civic Stadium (War Memorial). A 54-6 clout over Temple University continued the offensive explosion for UB. In the third quarter, the Bulls scored 26 points over the hapless Owls. Boasting a 4-1 record at the mid-point of the season, the Bulls led the polls for the Lambert Cup for the first time, but only by a small margin over Lehigh, Buffalo moved ahead though when Gordie Bukaty scored two TD’s and threw for three in 30 minutes of play in a 44-6 blowout of Wayne State. . 509 Elmwood Ave. (Near Utica) Offers you the chance to be a MODEL for its advanced haircutters (trained, experience haircutters, studying advance techniques) a $20 value for $5.00 CALL 881-5212 L The Amos Tuck School of Business Administration Dartmouth College Hanover, N.

Thick reports, issued by government agencies, foreign countries and the electric power industry, laud nuclear energy as the most efficient energy producer with the fewest environmental and health effects, and point to the nuclear power industry's perfect accident record. None. Thinner reports, issued by consumer groups, environmentalists and grassroots anti-nuke alliances, decry the inherent and far reaching public hazards of nuclear power predominately its deadly radioactive wastes for which no safe disposal method exists. They also argue that the spread of reactors may lead to nuclear terrorism. Pro-nuclear agencies such as the Atomic Industrial Forum (AIF) cite a loss to the U.S. economy through President Carter'sNon-Proliferation Act of I Enacted last March, the act tightened controls governing the export of U.S. nuclear technology. An AIF survey has revealed that only two of the 29 scheduled reactor orders in 1978 will go to U.S. nuclear manufacturers; 27 will be ordered from Europe and Canada. President Carter's 1.977 moratorium on fuel reprocessing additional plants and his concern about nuclear hazards (Carter is himself a nuclear physicist), have not been received well by U.S. nuclear scientists. “We are experiencing a stagnation, a retrenchment of our nuclear progress,” voiced Won Y. Chon, Director of the Nuclear Science and Technology Facility (reactor) here. “The U.S. is suffering because Carter is not an enthusiastic supporter of nuclear energy. We are losing our lead in nuclear power while France, Russia, Japan and many others are forging ahead,” Chon stated. While the professor believes that we should push for non-proliferation, he noted that the U.S. must be in a strong position ■ - I \ KnMS: "The U.S. is suffering because Carter is not an enthusiastic supporter of nuclear energy. We are experiencing a stagnation a retrenchment —Wan Y. Chon . -continued on page 22 “Nuclear industry is dying in this country. They are their own worst enemies and need to clean up their act. " — Marvin Resnikoff — Vol. 29, No. 29 State University of Friday, 27 October 1978 New York at Buffalo Victory for SA officials SWJ halts elections, cites ‘irreparable harm’ to students by Harvey Shapiro Contributing Editor Hours before the polls were set to open Wednesday, the Student Wide Judiciary (SWJ) clamped a ten-day restraining order on the Student Association Elections, scheduled to run through today. The Court granted the order in response to second plea by four SA officials to half the elections which were called midway through the officer’s terms by former SA President Richard Mott. The Court, at the same, time denied the Treasurer Fred Wawrzonek, Director petitioner’s of Academic Affairs Sheldon Gopstein, Director of Student Affairs Lori Pasternak and Director of Activities and Services Barry Rubin request to issue an order forcing Mott to show cause for special elections. Although no firm date has been announced, SWJ Chief Justice Michelle Seidner said the hearing on the constitutionality of Mott’s move will be held “within a week.”” — - - No immediate need The unanimous opinion of the court, in granting the restraining order, stated that the general student body would suffer “irreparable harm” if the elections were held before a ruling on the constitutionality of Mott’s call for new elections. Assisting Seidner of the case were Associate Justices Jay Flatow and Scott Epstein. Last Monday the Court had denied a request for a temporary restraining order saying that the petitioners had not shown that irreparable harm would be done. In explaining why the SWJ granted the second request and not the first, Seidner pointed to time as a factor in the decision. “Last time there was no immediate need,” she said, “but this time, due to the fact that the elections were to begin the next day, students could suffer irreparable harm if the restraining order was not granted. Seidner added SA diary—P. 2 / that the first motion was not granted because there was still plenty of time for the plaintiffs to file a brief asking for a hearing into the constitutionality of Motfs decision. “They (the petitioners) had a week and a half to ask for a hearing at the time they asked for the original restraining order. The second time they asked for a restraining order, there wasn’t enough time to hold a hearing,” Seidner explained. American Studies finds response is inadequate by Dan Bowman Staff Writer Spectrum The University Administration’s response to the long-standing of the American Studies Program has been deemed “insufficient and unsatisfactory” by Temporary Coordinator Charles Keil. American Studies faculty members met yesterday with University officials seeking a compromise in the Administration’s position. Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn asserted, “We will listen to what (American Studies) has to say, but I cannot see how we will be able to increase their budget beyond what has already been allocated for them.” A long-awaited PhD program for American Studies has been approved by Bunn who will deliver a “letter of intent” to University Still holds office President Robert L. Ketter. Ketter previously stated that he will agree Seidner pointed to the text of the opinion to to whatever Bunn decides. It is expected that Ketter will send a “letter further explain the decision. “The repercussions of of intent” to Albany for final approval of the doctorate program. The paving no clear cut representation or recognizable PhD program was one of the primary disagreements between the two authority would promote the type of damage of sides, with American Studies continually insisting on the letter oT intent while the administration studied the cost of the proposal. irreparable harm,” the opinion stated. That portion The meeting included Bunn, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and of the opinion pertains to Gopstein’s belief that Letters George Levine, Elizabeth Kennedy of Women’s Studies, Oren since he had not resigned or been impeached, he was Lyons of Native American Studies, and'Francisco Pabon of Puerto the holder of the Office of Director of Academic Rican Studies. Results of the meeting were not available by press time. The main issue facing American Studies is the appointment of a Affairs even if his opponent were to be elected in the permanent director for the program. Temporary Coordinator Keil will special election. “The irreparable harm could occur be leaving next year On a Guggenheim Fellowship, which he has due to the fact that more than one person could delayed.

Follett is negotiating with FSA Forty-four percent of the auto repair shops in a New York Public Interest REsearch Group’s (NYPIRG) study failed to diagnose one of the two simple malfunctions or gave bloated estimates for uneeded repairs. The study included 33 repair shops, predominately in the North Buffalo and surrounding area. Written estimates for what was at most a $5.00 repair job soared as high as $48 as NYPIRG tested the honesty and competency of auto repair shops in an effort to tighten legislation on shop licensing and consumer complaint procedures. The just-released Buffalo results paralled national statistics that have shown 40 percent of auto mechanics incompetent or dishonest, Lew Rose, project director for NYPIRG said. “These days, a car is a necessity, not a luxury. Low cost, high quality repair work is every motorist’s right,” declared Rose. NYPIRG investigated 33 randomly chosen repair shops “with a pre-inspected, certified auto adjusted with two simple, obvious and inexpensive problems.” A pollution control - valve vacuum hose was disconnected, and a fuse for the heater fan was replaced with a burnt out one. The hose could be reconnected manually, and a new fuse costs 25 cents, retail. The results were disconcerting. “Forty-four percent of the repair drop estimates incorrectly diagnosed at least one of the two problems or recommended far more expensive repairs than necessary,” NYP1RG Stated. Eighteen shops (56 percent) correctly diagnosed the problems and charged $8.00 or less. One shop refused to give an estimate, an illegal practice under the New York Motor Vehicle Repair Shop ~ s Registration Act. The 1974 law was passed “to protect consumers from dishonest, deceptive, practices and to oblige shops to provide quality repairs at a fair and reasonable price.” Study results The study showed that four of the six most expensive repair shops were car dealers. ‘'Alien Brown Motors, Inc. (2262 Delaware Ave.) found the diconnected vacuum hose,” the report stated, “but failed to correctly diagnose the faulty fuse. The service manager claimed that it was necessary to replace and repair the heater control cable. The cost of this work was estimated at $48.00.” Sheridan-Aotoertt Motor Sales. Inc. (3900 Sheridan Drive) also failed to diagnose the burnt fuse, the finding showed. “The mechanic Rioted a $45 charge to fepair the heater fan, claiming that he had to remove the dashboard to rewire the fan’s electrical system,” the report « ' operator of ali University bookstores to purchase its remaining inventory — and fixed assets, such as trucks, fixtures and desks. Snyder called the deal “a sizeable transaction” and roughly estimated that FSA would receive in excess of 1500,000.

The major problem with the Motor Vehicles Act is the lack of enforcement. Dissatisfied customers may file complaints with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), the only enforcement agency, but its disciplanary measures merely include suspending or revoking the shop’s registration. Follow-up studies have already indicated that only a few complaints ultimately lead to such actions being taken Recommendations “There is no incentive for a motorist to file a complaint unless he is very vindictive,” maintained Rose. “Even if the complaint is deemed valid, the consumer still won’t be reimbursed for the faulty work. It’s just a waste of the motorist’s time.” The study made several recommendations: First, competency standards should be set to insure that qualified mechanics are working on your car as it stands now,, anyone can get a registration and set up a shop; a list of repair shops receiving warning letters should be made readily available to motorists; automotive diagnostic clinics should be the motorist can set up to detail exactly what is wrong with a car then find the service station that will provide those repairs for the - - lowest price. “NYP1RG has written- a bill to amend the act to allow restitution directly to the consumer,” related Rose. “We need sponsored in the state assembly and senate.

Sponsored by the Governors Programming Committee. m - - by Adrienne McCann Spectrum Staff Writer Walking into “the Aud” early Tuesday, afternoon, it teemed almost inconceivable that the nationally known Ice Capades would be performing here. Well-worn flats and crudely painted scenery lay scattered about, stage and spot lights, too, decorated the icy floor. Boxes upon boxes labeled “Property of Ice Capades” rested untouched. The all-new Ice Capades. featuring never-before-seen productions, opened last Tuesday at Buffalo’s Memorial Auditorium. The show will run through Sunday, October 29, offering both Split in Phys. Ed. Dept. working out ‘gym dandy’ evening and matinee performances. The tights dimmed low. Children, many-many tots in the audience, fidgeted in restless anticipation. The clear ice, brushed and wet down, shines. Christmas tree-like lights sparkle behind a silky curtain forecasting a touch of magic. Already, the artistic flow of energy has been tapped. In the midst of this creative confusion, one might expect to find performers practicing routines and perfecting steps. Not so, according to Ice Capader Nicole Masson. A skater as well as a show publicist, the pert blue-eyed blond remarked, “There’s really no practice on opening day, not until just before showtime. When we do rehearse, we practice steps that get ‘messy’. Because the show is performed in a circular auditorium, it’s viewpd from many angles and we have to be perfect.” A nymph, exquisite and delicate, and oh so fragile, gracefully rose from the mist swirling from a far corner of the ice. She too swirled . .. and just as elusively, left. And Terry Kubika, holder of the U.S. Senior Men’s Championship and World Freestyle titles he jumped and lept vibrantly. He was in love with his work and the audience was in love with him. Spinning 'round and 'round the ice, he smiled and meant it. The crowd smiled back with our lips as well as thunderous applause. Preparatory rehearsals are strenuous. The Ice Capetters, a chorus line group to which Nicole belongs, rehears together six hours a week. For the entire Ice Clpades production, the performers learn the whole show in five weeks, working eight hours a day. The company covers 27 cities in their 10 months on the road. “It’s a nice steady job,” Masson by Cathy Carlson Staff Writer Spectrum - - smiled. A skater-dancer flies high above the ground. The harness was twisting around too quickly, he was spinning much, much too fast. Yet when he finally —Korotkln stopped his wild twirlings, his head held up in pose. Floating down to earth, stiH proudly holding that pose, the audience watched him, intrigued. Only after the lights were dimmed, signaling the end of the scene, another skater slid up, held him for a moment, and they slowly glided off stage. Professional skating has been a tough world and it becoming increasingly competitive, Masson remarked. “Skaters are getting better and better. Steps and routines are getting more and more complicated. You really have to keep up your skating to stay good and to keep your job,” she explained. The funny little Englishman he slid and he scampered across the slippery ice. Tripping and dancing about, he was a Viking without horns, playing with a wind-up skater doll. He was rowdy and he was bawdy. Most importantly, he. was beloved; adults and children alike enjoyed his antics and he basked in the. warm glory of his success. The company not only works together, but plays together. “During our free time, we try to organize activities like tennis and softball. In the summer, we’ll play against media teams and area high schools,” the skater described. “We’re night people, most of us. We live on a different schedule than normal,” she added. “We stay pretty much in a — group when we do go out. We go out dancing, sometimes, after a show.” The cast loves parties. —continued on page 22— The split three years ago between athletics and academics in the Education Department seems to be working out to the satisfaction of everyone involved. In 1973, University President Robert L. Ketter created the School of Health Education, which included both the academic and athletic programs of the Physical Education Department. A division occurred in 1975 when the existing Health Education budget could no longer support both programs. The academic department, which includes health education, professional physical education majors and a graduate research program, was placed under the Faculty of Health Sciences. Recreation, Athletics and Related Instruction (RARIT- the Athletic department was placed under the Department of Undergraduate Education. RARI Rovers intramurals, collegiate sports and required gym classes. Physical — Wanted no part The Faculty of Health Sciences wanted no part of athletics, according to Chairman of RARI Sal Esposito. He sS13, “Vice President of Health Sciences Carter Pannill made it clear that he did not like the idea of athletics in the Health Sciences. The only thing Pannill took was health education and physical education majors." Pannill admitted at the beginning that “some faculty were happy with the arrangement and some were not,” though he was quick to point out that it “did not bother anyone greatly.” He explained that Health Sciences has traditionally been oriented towards a specific discipline such as nursing or pharmacy. “It was strange at first for Health Sciences to be involved in an area that was not specifically categorized,”, he commented. Despite the initial hesitation, Pannill remarked that a good relationship now exists between the Health Science program of Physical Education and other Health Science departments. He said this developed when the Health Sciences realized how closely related physical education was to their disciplines.

We - have a lot to offer the community,” he remarked. MFC more than day school MFC Director Eric Streiff explained that before Buffalo became part of the SUNY system in 1962, the enrollment in night school topped the day division. He asserted a major problem of most universities, including UB, is a bias towards night-time students. “If a school wants to get non-traditional students, it must change its orientation,” he declared. “All services available to students must be available to night students.” Another MFC is the problem facing decentralized University structure different courses meet . in different buildings, rather than one centralized location. According to Blaekhurst, the school is spread throughout the Main Street Campus and that for someone who has a job, a family, and other responsibilities, “it’s hard to get acquainted with the University.” MFC’s present enrollment stands between 3400 md 3500 with the bulk of that figure students in day - their late twenties or early thirties. According to Strciff, only 15 percent of the college is over 35. He said, “We don't have a lot of" retirees, but mainly alumni going for further education or change of careers." Fertile field President of the local chapter of the Gray Panthers a coalition of senior citizens and young described the people working for social change - - University as a major asset to elderly people. Kramer, who graduated from UB last year said, “A tremendous amount of the older generation is capable of enriching the world, we have a lot to contribute.” Kramer estimated that by the year 2000, twenty percent of the population will be over 65 and colleges will find senior citizens “a fertile field for recruiting." To encourage older students back to school, UB is involved in a state-wide program which allows anyone 60 or over to audit night classes at no cost. Streiff revealed that only 30 people are signed up for program here to date, but that many more are involved informally. Blaekhurst noted that older students are important to everyone at the University because of the different perspective they can offer; but that he’s most concerned in attracting local workers to further their training. “I hope to go around to area personnel directors," he said, “and find out where the University could be most useful.” According to Streiff, “We’re essentially a part of the University th&t looks outward to the community differently than the rtfsl of the school." Streiff added that 50 percent Of all students in MFC are taking^either management or engineering courses. He said that 62 percent of the school is comprised of men, but “more and ifiore women seem to be enrolling each year,” MFC has many day students enrolled also.

President of the Black Student Union asked Kaetz and Hoyt whether or not they felt reinstating a state death penalty would be discriminatory to blacks. Kaetz said that “the death penalty is a moral issue” and only part of the answer to lessening crime in New York. According to Kaetz, the major issue is court reform to insure that criminals will be brought to justice, including an end to plea bargaining which Kaetz termed “morally wrong.” “If it saves one life in the coming year, then we happens to senior had better reinstate the death afford to maintain them. penalty,” completed Kaetz. Hoyt, disagreed," however, saying that the death penalty would probably not be considered by a criminal before committing a murder. “Study after sutdy has shown that the death penalty is not a deterrent,” declared Hoyt. Hoyt further said he believed a death would be penalty diserminatory because “if you have money, your chances getting off are pretty good.” ' of Robinson then asked Tauricllo his feelings on bank redlining in the city of Buffalo. Tauricllo took a strong stance against redlining, pointing out that one of his has collcgues persuaded _47 banking institutions to “loosen up” and increased provide mortgage and home improvement loans to inner city neighborhoods.

Rosen alleged that DOB officials Legislature were largely responsible for the being Campus Amherst incomplete.

In denying four SA officials' original request for a restraining order, the court held that no form of "injunctive relief can or should be granted" until a full hearing on the constitutionality of the elections was held. Wednesday's temporary injunction, of course, comes without such a hearing. Why? Because the plaintiffs waited until 3:30 Monday to re-file a brief that was submitted once, then taken back for revision. surprise The tardiness thus forced SWJ to reverse itself and allowed the plaintiffs to get exactly what they wanted, a halt .to the elections. The late ruling also frustrated the candidates who wore through: forums, interviews by The Spectrum staff and untold ant ,ety over the expected balloting Wednesday through today. The election halt probably alienated whatever students were interested in the outcome as well as wasting money; time and effort SA and The Spectrum put into the procedure. Yes, a hearing on the constitutionality of the elections is necessary. But how can the court justify itself in reversing an earlier position because of the plaintiff's tardiness? The "irreparable harm" the court cited in Wednesday's opinion is due, we feel, not so much to the case itself or the brief filed, but to the timing of the request for a restraining order. Perhaps the plaintiffs were smart enough to recognize this and planned their actions accordingly. And perhaps SWJ should have been that much smarter. two public Basic right The recently released New York State Public Interest Group (NYPIRG) study on auto repair shops in the Buffalo area is a shocking example of how government has failed to regulate businesses and enterprises that serve the most basic needs of the public. America, With over 137 million vehicles on the road, is society largely dependent on those vehicles to serve basic need;, such as food shopping and getting to work. While we would not go so far as to say that proper auto repair is akin to proper medical care, in both cases we are at the mercy of "experts” who diagnose, repair and charge highly for work done. In any case, as we have a right to high quality, low cost medical care, auto repair should take on the same attributes. But, as the NYPIRG study revealed, auto repair shops have been blatantly negligent in providing such repair. The 1974 New York Motor Vehicle Repair Shop Registration Act, while passed with good intent of the part of state legislators, is basically impotent. It does not give consumers any incentive to file complaints against repair shops ih the first place and has little disciplinary power to force these shops to take corrective action once shoddy repair work has been performed. State legislators have an obligation to pass new legislation to correct the deficiences of the original Motor Vehicle Act. The solutions proposed by NYPIRG, including basic competency standards for auto mechanics, are good ones. They would go a long way to insure that consumer' don't continue being ripped off by unscrupulous repair shops. This is a basic right that government must provide for its citizens. of SA and the apathetic don’t offer everyone the right to vote? I suggest that its time for the undergrads to unite!

How can vou student apathy when you Pam Rossi Endorsement power To the Editor For years The Spectrum has endorsed candidate for the various elected positions within Student Association (SA). Despite the objections that, as the only student paper at UB, The Spectrum exerts undue influence in the electoral process, the editors of the paper have consistently deemed it in the students best interests their own choices for the office be made known on the editorial pages. Jay Rosen, The Spectrum’s present editor in his October 23 "Why we Kndorse" editorial justifys this position saying "students are given a great and through The SpectruA, a greater opportunity opportunity to make up their own minds on election day. There is no tyranny here, no thought-control, no mental rnaipulation.” In another part of the same editorial he states; “It has simply never been made clear that The Spectrum determines the winners.” It is strange to find a newspaper as reliable as The Spectrum printing such a blantant piece of misinformation. In the last five years The Spectrum has endorsed 31 candidates for paid SA positions. Of those 31, only 2 have gone down in defeat. In other words 93 percent of those endorsed by The Spectrum have emerged victorious. One hundred percent pf the people endorsed by The Spectrum for — the two top SA posts of President and Vice-President have won. Is it mere coincidence that those whom The Spectrum has endorsed have also been the choice of the majority of the student electorate? Perhaps the charges of electoral tyranny are more than just the cries of a few benighted political hacks. Tatrick You lift Editor’s note: Our only point on the literal effect of endorsements is this: some students arrive at their own conclusions that coincide with The Spectrum's choices. Others follow the endorsements strictly, ignoring other input. Neither we, nor anyone else, has a way of knowing the mix between the two. And though your'figures are no doubt accurate, they do not tell the whole story. An individual race may he the endorsed very close, with for example candidate drawing 55 percent of the vole and the unendorsed candidate getting 45 percent. The latter figure represents all the student who ignored the endorsement and is not reflected in your arguemenls or mint hers. The question of a causa! connection is, we feel, still an unresolved one. Winners are winners, of course, hut if the power of The Spectrum's endorsement was as huge as some people claim it to he, we would expect endorsed candidates to always win by huge margins. - - » The Spectrum Vol. 29, No. 29 Friday, 27 October 1978 Editor-in-Chief — Jay Rosen David Levy' Managing Editor Managing Editor Denise Stumpo Business Manager Bill Finkelstein - ‘Born tew - — Backpay* .Larry Motyka .

The Bible on gay rights To the Kditnrs~ Your article on proposition 6 in the October 23 issue of The Si>ectruin mentioned John Briggs “who claimed to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ”, as the man leading the stand against homosexual school teachers in California. The article didn’t explain why Christian such as Mr. takes Briggs such a strong stand against homosexuality. The reason being the Bible doesn’t mince words over homosexuality or the seriousness of this act before God. I Timothy 1:9-10 ranks homosexuals as those who are rebellious and ungodly, along with murderers, kidnappers, and liars. From man’s point of view a homosexual may be a nice person but from God s point of view homosexuals are to Him as murders! Romans 1:26-28 states “For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire towards one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are nbt proper. In Leviticus 18:22, it says that males lying together as they would with a female are an men abomination to the Lord. Webster’s Dictionary defines abomination as somethipg extremely disgusting or loathed. Christians take such a strong stand against homosexuality because God had He also said in Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plan I have for you declares the Lord, a plan for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hopp.” If God denies us something it’s because He knows what’s best for us and considering He created man. He should. Carol DiBart �dayfrldayfridayfridayfrid feedback of Rubin's song When I first arrived at this large and confusing university, I was overwhelmed with slogans and advertisements concerning various groups and organizations. One of the more prominent organizations, IRC, promised me free movies, discount flight and bus fares, beer blasts, and even rollerskating. All for a small fee of fifteen dollars. At the time I was dazzled at all the IRC was doing for me. Well as the old saying goes, “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, dazzle them with BULLSHIT,” that’s exactly what IRC did to me. I have been at this university for two months now, one-half a semester, and I have not seen one organized trip to a concert or IRC beer blast. Yes, I’ve been to a few beer blasts run by the well known fraternity TKE, at $.25 a beer. Sometimes! wonder if my $15 fee would of gotten me more at my local liquor store. As far as discount flight and bus fares go, I would like to expose the terrible organization of IRC. After reading a notice on my bathroom door informing me that IRC flights and busses would go on sale Oct. 23 and 24, I learned otherwise. When I arrived at the Elli at 8 pm, one half hour before the tickets were scheduled to go on sale, I learned that the choice I think that the Navy advertisement on page fifteen is a good example of the seriousness of the nuclear problem. A similar offer was received by me on June 22, two days before the Seabrook occupation. Wonder who is taking sides? Naval nuclear power treads a fine line between atoms for peace and nuclear weapons. One could argue that the technology has peaceful applications (for petroleum tankers perhaps?) but then why not center activities on civilian institutions? The answers are that Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate Collegiate Program Graduates come out running reactors on nuclear submarines or carriers (carrying nuclear weapons) and that the government doesn’t flights had gone on sale the previous week. I also for a “discount” flight leaving at the wrong time, arriving at the wrong place. Well that’s life! The well organized busses leaving for New York the Thanksgiving holidays depart at 2 pm Tuesday Nov. 21. If this university intended for its students to miss classes on Wed. Nov. 22 they would have declared it an official holiday. Although the state of New York doesn’t usually cancel classes for an I-rratiOnal R-epugnant C-lan such as the IRC. Their ingenious idea of having busses to the local bars in Buffalo lacked one key concept; return busses. Either IRC is trying to give university students a subtle hint, or they wish to educate the female population of UB on the art of being “picked up.” If you try to call the IRC during their office hours you will probably be greeted by a voice on a recording. This tends to make it quite difficult to obtain the information you originally called for. In this world of “who you know” is who you are, IRC is striving. While waiting in line for one and a half hours for a flight home, an unknown friend of the IRC representative made her reservations by phone. How convenient! IRC I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore. r payed $88 ... ... Cindi Helfant I’ve got two questions. The first is a bit of clarification. What is the differences between Nuclear Propulsion technology and nuclear power question is technology? This next more fundamental. If our government is paying students to study nuclear power then why aren’t similar offers being made for the study of appropriate technology and energy conservation? Are these any less important? Come on gentlemen! Are you really sure that nuclear power holds the keys to our future? You’ll have to show me an awful lot because right now 1 just don’t believe you. But let us be realistic. Fair is fair. Charles Schwartz, Senior Engineering Student care about what civilians think. Goldberg: Young again To the Editor. I write this letter in reference to Harold Goldberg’s review of the new Neil Young album. Comes a Time, (The Spectrum, Friday October 13). There seems to be a conflict of opinion among the Spectrum’s reviewing staff. Barbara Komansky’s review of the Neil Young concert indicates her awareness and appreciation of the man and his music! On the other hand, Harold Goldberg’s article is devoid of any knowledge concerning Neil Young's role as a major force in American music. Contrary to Mr. Goldberg’s opinion, one of Neil Young’s primary objectives is not to rock for rock’s sake. Neil Young is inventive and creative; he desires not to be sucked into .the contemporarily 1 popular myfh that louder and raunchier is better. (A la.Kiss, Aerosmith.Punk Rock, and all other shit passed off as music.) Neil Young’s greatness lies not only in the music but in his lyrics and intentions as well. Mr. Goldberg would perhaps agree that “Like a Hurricane” is a great song because it is loud and rocking. We would also adhere to the point that this song is great, but for reasons of intensity and meaning, not sheer volume. , Mr. Goldberg is obviously not familiar with much of Young’s previous work or he most assuredly would have noticed the following: 1) Neil Young’s vocals are far clearer and cleaner in Comes a Time than in his other recently released albums. 2) His lyrics are understandable, intense and never silly.,3) General musicianship is all around great. Mr. Goldberg blatantly revolts us by including such mediocre talents as.Linda Ronstadt and Van Morrison in the same article as Neil Young. These other two artists cannot be considered in the same league as a man who has 175 unreleased songs (several of which are considered classics before they’re even released). The sheer talent of this man is overwhelming and we wholeheartedly agree with Rolling Stone's recent acclamation that, “he may very well be Uiegreafest.” Mr. Goldberg does a greatiiuujtice to all Neil Young fans (past, present and future) with such a negative and uninformed review. We would hope that Harold Goldberg will refrain from demonstrating his ignorance in future reviews, God's Disciples Glenn Mo'dre Brian Hoffmann Gary St. Onger Marc Candren Howard Brandenburg Decker Larry Leigh Harrington , Window on the world To the Editor. I get the sensation of a cool breeze blowing through my hair, and a tingling up and down my spine. No, I’m not eating a York Peppermint Patty, I’m sitting next to a window in Foster 110. A CLOSED WINDOW! Nonetheless the wind keeps coming through (approximately 5-10 mph) turning pages and chilling ankles, if this is a new school policy for keeping students awake during boring lectures, it is doing a good job. If not, I think it should be fixed before it gets really cold outside. 1, like most students don’t mind a little cold in the classroom, but when cold is compounded with a wind chill factor, it becomes obnoxious. John Ibfti tsaaiG Um’I SUNYAB f | Mr. Rosen, 1 would like to respond to the short article on page 4 of The Spectrum of Friday, October 20th in regard to my programming the poetry reading at Baird Point entitled “Rubin g. estimates $500.00 allocated to Lev’s poetry". In the 5 article, as well as noted at the top of the headline 3 you noted Karl Schwartz’s discontent for the oo program in which 1 spent student money and much time. Schwartz was quoted as saying “That an event of the kind makes students sick to their stomachs when they realize where their $70.00 is going." Obviously your memory is not as good as my own, if it were, neither you, nor Karl Schwartz would be dicontented about Baird Point. I pose a question to you; where were you on April 19, 1978, about 5 p.m.? If you or Karj Schwartz do not recall, I most certainly do indeed. You were in Haas Lounge along with many other students at a Senate meeting. Sound familiar? At that meeting in which you and Karl Schwartz were most certainly in attendance, the following resolution was passes by the SA Senate: (1 am quoting from the minutes). “Be it resolved that the Senate should sponsor Lev to sing giant chunks of his poems and songs and to present his own academic master plan for the University to the Undergraduates." The vote was 25 in favor, 5 opposed, 3 abstained, clearly passed! At no time have 1 ever overextended my bounds as Director of Student Activities and Services. In addition, in regard to Baird Point, 1 followed a directive of the Senate. Karl Schwartz had no right or authority to even advise against a Senate Mandate, and would indeed have abused his office again by trying to stop it, based on his own personal conflict with Michael Levinson. Finally, I teel that you and Karl Schwartz have done me an injustice as so printed in The Spectrum, and I would expect an apology from Karl Schwartz as well as yourself, the * Realistic on nuclear power To the Editor: H To the Editor.

Barry Rubin, Director of Student Activities and Services Student Association Editor’s note: I anight say immediately that the expenditure of money, and not the label of sponsorship, is the issue here. I might say that the Senate voted to sponsor Lev and not necessarily spend $$00 on it. I might say that the vole could have been substantially different if such a figure had been included in the motion. / might say that no one, least of all The Spectrum, would object to such an event if it included the mere sponsoring of Levinson. But since I am not a SA official, it is quite outside my responsibilities to mention such things. / will say that The Spectrum accurately reported what Schwartz said. If you feel an apology is owed, then that is your own personal matter. And if you jeei that the Song of SUNYAB is an example of responsible, and relevant programming than I can fully understand your concern in this matter. Song sang through To the Editor: Over the past week or so I’ve been reading bits in The Spectrum about Michael Steven Levinson’s Song of SUNYAB fiasco and the five supporters in attendance. I’m evidently one of the said “supporters” and would like to clarify things a bit. Mr. Levinson does have his place in this University but I can’t say that 1 was inspired by the idea of my activity dollars going to the much-publicized event at the newly completed and still virtually isolated Baird Point. Just the same, my buddy Willy and myself figured we’d head over to suck up a few beers and see what kind of a crowd would show up. We were greeted by a handful of the SA sponsors, a sound crew which said that they were to be paid $ 155 for not setting up as the power was never turned on, 3 people who thought that there was a band playing, and one dog. We were told that the bags upon bags of bagels totaled 220 dozen and there was 60 pounds of cream cheese to go with them. A large stack of plywood on which to seat the “crowd” was barely touched and Mr. Levinson siad that they would be able to sell it back to the lumber company for at least half the cost. As the Song of SUNYAB was over before we had even arrived we decided to take off before the photographer got us in a group shot of the “supporters”, but not before we were told to take some of the bagels off of their hands; We filled my Subaru with 45 dozen, spent an hour distributing them throughout the dorms, gave some to the University Police, friends, relatives, and people at traffic lights. still eating tji,e evidence.

But this is another Gabriel concert, “and in case you don’t believe we’re really working,” Peter and company put orange luminescent vests over head onto chest as if to say "we got a job to do,” and there’s bald bassist Tony Levin and leatherstud guitarist, both mirror-shaded (in unison): “Yeah, and it’s to kickyerass with RIFFS!” Drummer with fitting madman grimace, plus one “Timmy Capella,” wielder of punksax and suggestive pelvic movement.

The All-Female Cast’s production, s Some Enchanted Evening, premiered here last spring, is a montage of pieces amplifying a consciousness of rape. This consciousness, a skin of fear, covers the bones of most every woman’s actions, even those as deceptively simple as going out for cigarettes. In the short vignette, "Cigarette Break,” Laura Kramer hits the streets in the yips of a serious nicotine fit, but the consciousness of rape has a still tighter grip. Before she leaves her heavily secured apartment, her must body undergo “uglification.” A towel is pushed into the back of her sweater to resemble the hunch of Quasimodo, a down coat is donned to change her carves to bulges, hair is pinned up lest a strand betray her, and cigarette ashes become a goulish mascafa. Thus outfitted, only now can she take to the street, sporting a mannerism worthy of a derelict. The piece is so short, so silent that it hardly engenders applause, but only comparison with our own experience. Some of us will say no, that it smacks of hyperbole, others will nod affirmatively. In a sense, it doesn’t matter the piece works. The audience may quibble over the degree that fear has infiltrated but no one seriously can deny the genesis of the character’s actions night," the daughter says almost pleadingly. And, amidst all the frou-frou of bridge parties and daughters who remain annoyingly single at the overripe age of 20, the salve, the tact the mother offers her daughter through her trauma is, "Don’t worry, time heals." The mother, by the end of the piece, finally acknowledges her daughter’s rape but it is dearly evident that everything, even rape, must be judged by the ultimate denominator of whether or not it helps you get a man. with Monique Monica as the daughter and Frazer Lively as the mother, this piece probably packs more horror per second than any other piece during the evening. "Rape Poem" by Marge Piercy provided a level of terror approaching that of "Daddy’s Little Girl." A piece combining dance and poetry, its tension lay in the stark contrast between the slow emphatic — Rape of body and earth Thirteen vignettes comprise Some Enchanted Evening. Five of these are new to the program. All are individually strong but several evoke superlatives even in the strong company they hold. The last piece “The Earth and I are both Female,” a poem by Monique Mojica, dwelling on the dual nature of women and earth and the rape experienced by both, was one of these. The environmental rape and the personal rape are presented as flip „f ah F.mi. sides of the same brutal coin. The confronting issue we all must face imagery and emotional intensity make this a good piece to conclude with, however movements of Monique Monica and her coolly disapassionate description of how rape was no some of the spoken passages diffuse, and to an extent, confuse what’s going on.

Director Alan Pakula and scriptwriter Dennis Lytton Clark can’t share the credit. Comes a Horseman, a "modern day Western,” paces lyrically along for two hours on the dramatic mood set by Willis’ vision of the Pastoral but often crude West of the 1940’s. Unlike The Godfather or Interiors, where the artistic reins are clearly and firmly held in the hands of directors Coppola and Allen, Comes a Horseman is dominated by Willis’ lush photography. Pakula’s style (not auteur by any means) is still undefinable (the magnitude of the acting in Klute and AH the President's Men is what brought them off), and in Comes a Horseman, almost negligible. The story of Ella Connors (Jane Fonda) who, as the tacky advertising poster proclaims, is "as strong and vulnerable as the land she fought for," the film contains dashes of every Western cliche around, with the exception of Indians. There is the barroom brawl between the good buys and heavies and of course, the aging cowhand no longer fit to round up cattle but who can still chew tobacco and strum a guitar with 1\ the best of ’em. With scenes of villain Jason Robards and cohorts galloping towards us and an aggravatingly mannish Jane Fonda taking an apple pie hot out of the oven, Comes a Horseman smacks of bits ranging from Bonanza to The Waltons.

The independent for the expected The film's title refers to James Caan as an ex-soldier who buys land from Fonda. He helps her save her own land and ranch from Ewing, the power hungry land baron (played sardonically by the usually saintly Robards), and of course, falls in love,with her. An undeveloped subplot dealing with ecology ends with the quick demise of sadly wasted talent George Grizzard who wants to test the land for oil. But the plot’s only sustained Suspense stems from the suspense of waiting to see Fonda and Caan in bed together. And when we do, we know there’s nothing else left to wait for. Waiting But do wait.

Ella is all three. She stands tall and tanned in tight Levis, pert breasts to the wind, ready to fight for the land she so deeply loves only to shrink in stature as soon as Caan comes riding up. Her character reveals one of the film’s many credibility gaps. The film’s sole credible performance comes from character actor Richard Farnsworth the as Jgmg cowhand.” He is a natural in this cliche of a role and tugs at the old heartstrings in a scene where he acknowledges his morality to an uncomfortable Ella. Farnsworth’s sincere performance is the only element of Comes a Horseman which transcends its trappings.

Based upon the novel Momo by Emilie Ajar, the story line is a simple vine of roses and thorns intertwined. Madame Rosa, portrayed by sandy-voiced, over-rouged Simone Signoret, is a flabby, sixtyish grande dame among fnadams whose darting eyes, sharp humor, alert mind and personality give one the impression of a French Mae West. A prostitute during World War 11, her life revolves around running a, home for~the children of other streetwalkers, supported by money orders sent by the mothers providing financial support. Now a venerable and respected woman living on the top floor of a typically shabby, typically crowded Parisian-type tenement, Madame Rosa has evolved into a lady of moral fiber. She constantly defends the children from evil, feeds them well, dresses for company, and shows her greatest concern over -< - om eP®f -$&»* *,0^' BOARD i 2 iONE, INC. Memo’s graveness.

Left at Madame Rosa’s longer than any of the others, Momo (a nickname for Mohammed) is a Played permanent fixture. convincingly by Sarny Ben Youb, he is a lost child, a witness to much hate and evil. As the house empties of the other children, Momo stays on. It is here that the film's concept, "Life without loving is impossible,” begins to show itself.

As the film progresses, Madame Rosa’s health seriously, •weakens. At the implication that she may die, Momo, as her "only true love in life,/’ rushes to her aid constantly. But Rosa is dying. The delightful excursions in orange wig and painted face to favorite haunts, the suave and chatty cafes, arc curtailed. On a last expedition out to the country, accompanied by her admiring neighbors, Madame Rosa declares, "It is also impossible to live when you arc just trying to survive.” Despite the gallic coldness of the characters, Moshe Mizrahi, writer and director, installs warmth and a love of life in this visual demonstration of love’s, Mi/rahi’s powerful force. slow-moving direction wraps the audience in the web of a life lived with love.

Sferrazza �i movies ■* w •o I Dreyfuss in Big Fix' of the sixties by Ross Chapman There’s a good little film called The Big Fix where hipness is as cool as it’s purported to be. Richard Dreyfuss, his head haloed in golden curls, is Moses Wine, a left-over from the student uprisings at Berkeley. His life has slipped from West Coast radical to California suburban liberal. For him, as for us, the sixties are over. I might applaud this if not for the fact that the passing of the sixties implies the beginning of the seventies. The hysterical hipness of days past has faded into the hollow hipness of days present To argue the merits and demerits of hysteria over hollowness is a waste of time. If given a choice between the two, I would opt for a third alternative. The fact is that at no time has hipness been anything other than unpleasant It’s either been the froth on the mouth of a mad dog or the empty gesturing of contemporary ciphers. Hip humor has remained a private joke between leering filmmakers and sniggering audiences. Private jokes are like private parts, in that it’s best not to publically air either of them. In the sixties, films peppered with hip signatures, quivered with polemical rad-lib ornariness. In the seventies, hipness in films like Animat House and Up tn Smoke is a transparent substitute for something to say. On either end, I’m left cold, bored, and often depressed. The subtle self-criticism of parody But in The Big Fix, hipness isn’t a political reflex nor is it an mannerism. Director Jeremy Paul Kagan looks at hipness and finds fun and poignancy in it without getting reverent and righteous. There is throughout the film a subtle sense of self-criticism. Divorced with two kids and burdened with large child-support payments, Moses Wine turns to private investigating. He has a gun just like all movie private eyes before him, only his has a crayon stuck in it. His work consists of degradingly, ridiculous things like counting chickens. That is, until he is hired by the campaign manager of a political nominee to find Howard Ripis, a radical, self-styled media event ala Abbie Hoffman who is apparently the candidate’s sabotaging campaign by aligning himself with it. Here finally is an investigation for Moses worthy of a movie. The Big Fix follows Dreyfuss through his long search. If Bogart’s Philip Marlowe was a creature of film noir, then Dreyfuss’ Moses Wine is of film or. Much of The Big Fix is suffused in a golden haze of and n ostalgia weepy marijuana-induced euphoria. In this romantic world, violence is a surprise rather than an anticipated empty outcome. The film is littered with “remembrance of things past.” When Moses links up with a woman (Susan Anspach) who had been his flame and comrade on the Berkeley barricades, we see, through them, how much things have changed. She has abandoned her feverish feminism to become a campaigner for the candidate Ripis is sabatoging. Ripis himself as private dick Moses Wina suffered, I was there.' was the man, 7 I Richard Drey fuss has undergone what he describes as a “sex-change operation” and is now an ad man with short hair, a ranch-style home with a pool and a backyard barbeque. Dreyfuss and Anspach look around them, then at themselves and sigh about the old days. This nostalgia is easily shared by the audience, except for a few hokey touches like the tear wine sheds as he watches old video tapes of student demonstrations.

It might not seem to you that nostalgia, hilarity and violence would mix very well and you’re right; it doesn’t. They’re like oil, water and But Richard vinegar. Dreyfuss’ cocky performance keeps things shook up enough so that if you don’t look too closely, things appear harmonious. The Big Fix struts onto the screen carrying the baggage of a past era. It comes to us cool and breezy without the polemical slobbering or listless mindlessness usually associated with all that is hip. Hipness here isn’t a banner or a gesture; it’s an integral part of Moses Wine who’s the kind of guy everyone likes. Much the same can be said of the film. A successful mixture Moses Wine is a funny guy; he plays Clue to sharpen his wits, he purposely picks his nose to avoid the attention of someone he's following; his mother is a wrinkled Communist spouting Marxist doctrine; and he emits a never-ending stream of puns.

In some respects, it becomes an embarrassment of riches we may not fully appreciate. Part of this may be attributed to the performance that preceded it. But a little indulgence on our part is our gain. It would be a shame if the artistry of Kariamu Welsh, Yvonne James and Frances Hare were to be degenerated by our fidgetiness. Of the three pieces, perhaps the last two could have been abbreviated. However, the strength of "La Luta Continua (The Struggle Continues)” and "Gestures: A Tale of Rag Women" is bracing, in spite of their length. When you g6 to see Kariamu and Company and All-Female Cast, be prepared for an evening of theater. In a culture where commercial interruptions are sometimes seen as a relief from the vapid tensions fabricated within television, theater-goers do not remain immune to this attitude. The acting is of good or better quality, the material is engaging. You are immersed in swirling emotions for about two hours. Therefore, the better you learn to swim with the current instead of struggling against it, the more you marvel at its strength. And the strength of this current simply has to be experienced to be believed. detracts from this tour de force. "Mental clutter” becomes a definite danger as the number of vignettes file up. Compared to this overload., the excessive rawness in parts of ‘The Midnight Rambler” and “Eggwoman; A Case of Rape” pales. What All-Female Cast has token on is the formidable task of cleaning the Aegean Stables in which the acceptance of rape festers; while the task can use all the purifying force they can muster, our limits as an audience are tested. Our Weltanslcht of rape becomes unmanageable; the problem acquires an air of hopelessness, of being almost too large to deal with. We barely savor the flavor of any one piece because it mingles with that of so many others, and their pungent aroma threatens to finish us off before we can sort most of it out But to exterminate the acceptance of rape on levels unconscious as well as conscious the delicate balance between touching us and numbing us becomes a subtle question of degree. * . » Kariamu and Company is professional in a sense that has little to do with financial remuneration. By the end of their first piece, they had demonstrated clearly their commitment to movement. By the end. of the evening, their commitment had become patently evident.

Johansen later says that he agrees with rock critic Billy Altman that the Jumpers are good enough to be part of the rock and roll future.

Up With People' Joy to the world! by Marcy Phillips Last Saturday, a most singular musical enscmljje appeared on stage Shea’s Buffalo Theater. Up With People finally came to Buffalo. The Tucson, Arizona-based organization, has as its main goal the building of communication bridges among the peoples of this earth. It was most unfortunate that their only performance conflicted with the Convention Center gala ball. Approximately 400 young people, ages 17-25, from 17 different countries and 40 states are currently traveling with the group. Their professionally executed performance included a broad range of original, contemporary and traditional vocal material backed by a spirited instrumental section of guitars, percussion, piano and brass. at Troup acknowledges public responsibility The group is internationally acclaimed for its energetic, appealing performances and professional staging, but their charitable attitude is worthy of note. For every paid performance, Up with People give approximately three unpaid shows wherever they go. While here in Buffalo, their stay included performances at The Golden Agers of the Salvation Army, a United Way meeting, and St. Mary’s School for The Deaf. In the past, Up with People has performed in prisons, hospitals, colleges, ghettos, and Indian Reservations. The musical festivities began Saturday evening with a song that has become an Up With People trademark, "Push on Through.” The cast’s feverish pace, marked by exuberant dancing and singing, set the lone for the rest of the evening. Spanning the years The audience was taken on a quick world lour via music, when the cast performed ballads and folk songs from countries such as Venezuela, China, Mexico, Quebec, Spain and the United Slates. Increased audience participation came midway through the show as members of the crowd sang along with the lead singer in "A Memorable Tune." On “Give the Children Back Their Childhood,” the emotional exchange between the performers and the audience became indicative of the evening. The second medley spanned a number of years, with each rendition evoking responses from various segments of the audience. Beginning with a beautifully, harmonized barbershop quartet, the cast swiftly moved through the years to the Cole Porter favorites, "Anything Goes” and "I Got Rhythm.” “Boogie Woogic Bugle Boy” was the next number to grab the audience, with “Yakety Yak” and “Disco Inferno” bringing the crowd into the present era. Their last number was titled “Moonrider," and is based around a quote by Eugene A. Cernan, Commander of Appollo Xyil: “When you look at the earth from far out in space, you see no boundaries and in Up With People there are no boundaries.” In a span of two hours, the audience of approximately 1200 had spanned two centuries, crossed international boundaries, shattered racial and religious barriers, and closed many generation gaps.

Fargo’s transformer broke down Sunday, necessitating the connection of Fargo’s power lines to Porter’s transformer. A memo from University Housing asked students from both quads to conserve power to reduce the possibility of Porter's transformer also breaking down because of the increased power drain. After the transformer malfunctioned, an emergency generator automatically supplied electricity to the fire alarm system and corridor lights, said Lewis. Then, he explained, the generator shut down after five or six hours, prompting the connection of the lines to Porter. Lewis said that Physical Plant personnel are investigating the reason for the emergency generator’s breakdown. -Buchanan IN THE DARK: Maintenance workers, armed with a giant flashlight, brought in an outside power transformer Sunday night after Fargo's emergency generator failed. Power lines were later connected to nearby Porter Quad's transformer. The two quads will continue to share electrical power until needed parts are delivered on Wednesday. Currently, Lewis said, only two of the elevators in Fargo, A4 and A7, are operating, and the Fargo laundries are also closed. However, according to Lewis, all electrical systems are operating in Porter. “Right now,” he said, “we’re observing conditions in both quads. If more power is needed, we have a number of options." W( One of those options, said Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal, is to tap electricity from the Millard Fillmore Academic Core which contains classrooms and offices. Neal hopes that this will not be necessary since a repair crew from the General Electric power company has examined the 5 f transformer and promised that the needed parts will be delivered by Wednesday. If the parts arrive. Neal projected, the Fargo transformer should be repaired by Friday. Meanwhile, because of the power shortage, residents of Fargo were without heat most of the day Monday. However, limited heat and hot water did become available Tuesday afternoon. Ellicott South Area Coordinator Rhys Curtis said that the temporary heat loss was not too severe since heat was regained during the night. Me believes that most students are cooperating in the effort to conserve both heat and electricity. Curtis, speculating why there is no system that automatically hooks up Ellicotl’s six transformers (each quad has its own transformer) in the event that one malfunctions, commented. "1 don't know that they (Facilities Planning) really expected it; a transformer is usually a very reliable thing.” He added, “The transformer itself didn’t break down; it was the cooling system.” STILL HAVE SOME FUNNIKINS the original ; MULLIGANS BRICK BAD i „ Forum to examine the working women PAINTED PUMPKINS There Are All Kindi of U» Come Iqpk Ui Over.

Carolyn Thomas, was a “difference in philosophies.” She commenced. “In the past a faculty member was expected to do both research and coaching, which was difficult. These are two separate and distinct fields.” Thomas added that the current arrangement seems “to be functioning better.” Esposito agreed that the split has proven beneficial, although he said “it was unfortunate that we have to be split. After all we are all in the same business.” Since the separation, some difficulties have arisen from the conflicting use of gym and equipment facilities. Esposito remarked, “The problems are being resolved. This is mainly due to the good working relationship between academics and athletics.” A problem not so easily solved is the lack of funding for both RARI and the Health Sciences. “We need additional resources like everyone else,” Pannilt explained. “Physical facilities are badly needed, but there is just not enough money.” Though both RARI and Health Science Physical Education submit a proposed budget to SUNY Centra) in Albany, and compete with the rest of the University for funding, it is the Undergraduate Student Association that underwrites the cost of the undergraduate athletic program through mandatory student fees. Concerning State funding for other RARI expenses, Esposito remarked, “We are low man on the totem pole as far as priority is concerned.” In addition to their budgeting, the two departments differ in tenure procedures. RARI coaches’ ineligibility for tenure is causing new controversy. Esposito held that RARI is “unhappy with the non-tenured status.” He insisted, “RARI is an academic department. We are no different from librarians that receive tenure. The criteria for excellence in teaching that is applied to other faculty can beused for Rising ]price to pay’ Placing choke on foodlifters: penalties are hard to swallow ours.” Pannill is of a different opinion, maintaining athletic coaches should remain as non-tenured faculty. He said, “Coaches should remain ineligible for tenure unless they also have qualifications to perform as academic professors.” The Center of the Creative and Performing Arts by Meryl Moss EVENINGS FOR NEW MUSIC Spectrum Staff Writer Saturday, October 28th at 8:00 pm Albright-Knox Art Gallery ' Two twentieth century classics Schoenberg String Trio, Opus 45 Berg Kammerkonzert and William Kraft’s DES IMAGISTES - with the U/B Percussion Ensemble and Elizabeth Hiller and Saul Elkin Tickets: ft students <S UB Community $3 Gen.

A stern man in a three piece suit taps the shopper on the shoulder and requests that he accompany him to the office. If this fictional foodlifter was apprehended at Bells, “1 would definitely prosecute,” said Dick Vallone, owner of the supermarket at Kenmore Avenue and Englewood. Shoplifting in supermarkets is an increasingly popular crime in this decade of rising food costs and inflation. The basic prototype of a shoplifter is the female senior citizen in the afternoon and the young male between 17 and 25 years old in the evening, most store owners agree. However, the manager of Acme, located at 416 Kenmore feels Avenue, differently. “College kids are the major violators of the shoplifting laws,” manager Frank Vaccaro flatly stated. “One of the reasons we are not open 24 hours a day anymore is because of the shoplifting,” he added. A survey of area supermarkets has shown that the most commonly shoplifted items are: meats, health products, beauty aids, school supplies, and penny the category of shrinkage, and the customer does absorb this in the price of any item he buys.” Watchdog employees Wilson Farms at Winspear and Main Street was the only store surveyed which did not express a problem with shoplifting. The only preventive measure used is their low shelving which helps to deter shoplifters, manager Tony Bellanti stated. "Our employees are our watchguards,” he added. Food and beauty aids are not the, only items stolen from supermarkets. “Shopping carts areal so a big problem. Only 50 of my 75 carts are left. People are taking candy. The most common way a shoplifter operates is by placing items underneath their coats, particularly meats, and in their purses or knapsacks. The average shoplifter caught usually has enough money on him to pay for the items he has lifted,” Vaccaro said. “If he has money on him, he figures he can get out of the charges,” he remarked. Acme, Bells and Wegmans all employ plainclothesmen, cat walks, and then,” one The law is clear: shoplifting is a criminal offense. Bells manager -Vallone prosecutes in all cases. Wegmans, located at 575 Alberta Drive, Amherst, also takes a hard line on lifters./ “The police are immediately called and they take it from there,” the assistant mirrors as preventative methods against shoplifters. Most large supermarkets find shoplifting a major financial problem which is eventually reflected in their prices. Customer manager stated. The procedure at Acme is different. “We usually prosecute if we feel it is a professional shoplifter; if it is a first offense, it is put on record slightly Consultant for Wegmans Patricia Haydanek remarked, “Theft and spoilage are all taken up in the expenses of the company under I home with them nldnager said. and sent through computers and the second tipie the offender is prosecuted,” Vaccaro explained. : PHOTOCOPYING - 8c per copy NO JOB TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL!

Huang. only the Currently, two libraries that are open to students Street the Main are on overcrowded’ Health Science Library and the sheet metal, distant, recently-reopened Science and Engineering Library (SEL) also known as the Main Street - Library. Plans for Abbott Library to become the Health Science massive Library call for high, construction. The museum-like ceiling of the central reading room will be lowered to accomodate two more floors. Huang said, “None of us want Abbot to become the Health Science Library. We believe there is a need for a new library instead, like UGL.” Huang suggested it would be less expensive to build a than to complete the extensive renovations needed for Abbott. “It seems that a new modern structure would be more efficient," he remarked, “Abbott is not efficient and was built for beauty.” According to Huang, the Health Science Library now located in Stockton-Kimball Tower has located study carrels, - - tables and chairs in every spare inch of available space, making it an uncomfortable place to study.

Roy said that there will be available study space in the Diefendorf Annex. He remarked. “In the next weeks, we hope to increase study space for about 500 students. This will make more room available during exam time.” Neal contends that although the prestigious-looking Abbott structure will not be used for a few it should not be made into a temporary study space. . “What we have now has not been filled,” he said. “The problem into Abbott with making additional study space is that we need someone to watch over it, as with book stacks around them, rather than at open tables, but the basement of Health Science, which is a converted dormitory, cannot have its big stacks of books on the main floor because there is a possibility of the floor caving in. Huang said, “Students like to stu&y around shelves of books, but downstairs is stuffy and there is just not enough room.” The Main Street Library, which has a fair amount of open study space, is relatively unknown and not frequented by students. Director of University Libraries Saktidas Roy informed that the Abbott Street Library is adding study space and is open conditions. Many students prefer to study cannot be temporarily used for needed study space because students would require supervision, according to Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal. people go (TM*<d after each other.” . a by getting into the Nuclear Navy The Navy operates more than half the reactors in America.

The air was tense as the Bulls fought their way towards Oneonta’s goal. But all UB did was threaten. The mood of the game surfaced early. A' warning was given to Oneonta’s center halfback, soon followed by a yellow card to the same player. The yellow card is a warning one step away from ejection from the game. The pressure and tension grew as unnecessary pushing and shoving marked the play from both teams. Then, suddenly the air was shattered by a brawl. Going for the ball at midfield. Oneonta’s Tony Heap ran into UB’s Mike Brotherton. There was a yell from the crowd as the two players exchanged punches. Several players joined in. The referees, assisted by players from both teams, broke it up. Both players were ejected from the game, and both teams had to finish the game playing a man short. Mike Preston really had his work cut out for him. And so did the rest of the UB soccer team as they lost Wednesday to the Oneonta Red Dragons, 4-0.

The Dragons soon showed exactly why they were ranked eighth in the state. There was constant communication between their players, and they rarely failed to capitalize on UB’s mistakes. that game, 4-0; Brotherton was later elected from the game for participating in a fight. Oneonta’s standout was Keith To/.er. who scored the second goal of the game on a breakaway down the side, midway through the second half. Minutes later, Tozer took advantage of a referee’s oversight as he received a pass, while apparently offsides. Hsposito was upset, but could do nothing except credit To/.er for his clever play. The last of Oneonta’s goals came in the final 10 minutes when they unleashed a barrage of shots on the shell shocked Buffalo squad. Co-captain George Daddario described the loss as an offensive struggle. “Their defense was intimidating. Our offense tended to shy away. When you get hit hard, you tend to think twice about going after them the next time.” OneontaV defense was so physical that the game had to be held up four times for injuries. The last delay was for UB’s Chuck Bochane, who injured his knee and may be out for the rest of the season. Esposito could only say of the game, “I was proud of them.

In 1974, he initiated a Nuclear Safety Research study, which has since developed into the largest university project of its kind in the nation. While admitting that the level of radioactivity in the core of any nuclear reactor is highly toxic, Chon assured that numerous interlocking safety devices and reactor shields keep all but an insignificant amount of radiation within the reactor walls. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires that gaseous radioactivity release at the nuclear plant boundary be less than five m-rems (milli-roentgens equivalent man) per year. (A roentgen is a unit of radioactive field intensity.) Chon explained that an average American receives 100 to ISO m-rems yearly from his environment. Natural radioactivity is present all around us; in concrete buildings and sidewalks, in our air (tritium, radon) and in rocks and minerals (uranium, potassium). Cosmic radiation constantly, bombards us from outer space and x-rays, television and luminescent watches also contain low level radiation. We live, eat and breathe radiation. Compared with beer (130), whiskey (1200), milk (1400) and salad oil (4900), the liquid radioactive level (as measured in pico-curies per liter) of water containing waste from a typical nuclear power plant is surprisingly low (1-10), Chon said. Chon summarized the figures by stating that a person living in the immediate vicinity of a nuclear reactor (as do those on the Main Street Campus) receives one m-rem per year; only one percent of the total radiation received yearly from the environment. Look to future While Resnikoff conceded the above figure is accurate, he countered that Chon’s is the “old-time view” of radiation and its biological effects. “One has to look at the whole picture, at the total number of rems per person over time,” he said. The effects of radiation on the body are cumulative and are known causes of birth defects and various cancers, tye said. “It’s not a question of how many people are radiated today," observed Resnikoff. “What about the radiation total for future generations?” All the sources of radiation that exist as a result of nuclear operations must be considered, net just the radioactive level of reactor waste water or the danger of leaks, noted Resnikoff. Environmentalists cite the uranium mining and milling process as extremely hazardous to the public's and workers' health. Uranium miH tail pilings are simply left in heaps on the open ground in Colorado and New Mexico, said Resnikoff. The pilings produced to operate one reactor for one year have a radioactive doae powerful enough to produce 400 lung cancers over a 100,000-year period of time, according to Resnikoff. The effects of radioactive exposure on nuclear plant personnel must also be taken into account/ Current regulations set the maximum permissible exposure for nuclear professionals at 5000 m-rems per year, while the dose for the average citizen is not to exceed 100 m-rems. Studies -in 1971 at the West Valley Nuclear Fuel Services reprocessing plant revealed that the radiation level per full-timer was 7200 m-rems per year one of several factors which forced the shutdown of the plant in January 1972. Highly radioactive liquid waste still remains in the West Valley reprocesset, Resnikoff informed, in addition to 600,000 gallons of toxic liquid buried underground in twq tanks, one carbon steel and the newer one, stainless steel. Chon contends that in 1000 years the buried stainless steel tank, which ii 18 percent chrome, will be more toxic than the waste it contains. The substances strontium and plutonium, cited by anti-nukes as remaining highly radioactive for half a million years or more, are not the main nuclear waste products, said Chon. The amount of these long-lived substances is so small that it becomes negligible over time, he - Ice Capades.. —continued from page 4 “We’ll be having a Halloween party next week.

Specks of rainbowed light reflected from a silvery ball covered the audience and the beautiful flying butterflies came out, visiting for life-span of a moment. “1 don’t think I’ll miss being on the road. Oh, maybe I will for a while.” the slender silvery skater wistfully sighed. — f FAST FOOD! continued. Breeder reactors Resnikoff did not agree. In general, he said, the longer the life of the substance (measured in curies), the less of it that will be present. However, when substances are present in equal amounts (measured in atoms), they give off the same amount of radiation, he said, regardless of their half-life. Strontium, for example, gives off large doses but for a short period of time. Cesium, another waste product, gives off less radiation but for a longer time. The two are present in equaf amounts of atoms, Resnikoff said. The West Valley tanks were built to last for 40 years. If the wastes are not solidified by that time, it is assumed that they will seep into the ground and eventually into our air, water and food chain. West Valley is 35 miles southeast of Buffalo. A S1 million study by Argonne Laboratories for the Department of Energy is to be released November '24. It will discuss alternatives for safe disposal of the waste, but offer no conclusions, according to a DOE spokeswoman at Tuesday’s public hearing on West Valley. There are now 72 nuclear reactors operating in the U.S., generating 12 percent of our electricity. Another 132 are now either under construction or on order. These reactors are fueled with Uranium-235, which is expected to run out in 50-100 years. Hence the advent of the breeder reactor, which converts abundant Uranium-238 (99 percent of uranium is of this type) directly into plutonium for use by standard reactors. The world’s oil supply is expected to give out within the next 30 years. “We have no choice but to follow nuclear energy,” said Chon, who teaches the only solar energy course at UB. While he recognizes the value of alternative forms of energy such as solar, wind and tidal, Chon stated that these relatively inefficient forms can be supplemental only, and will never play a major role in energy production. “These trivial powers have been overemphasized by Carter,” Chon stated. “He is ill-advised.” Chon said that myths about nuclear power abound and welcomed questions from the University cortimunity. A nuclear engineer for 25 years, he informed that the first organized opposition came in the mid-70s with consumer activist Ralph Nader. “I like Ralph Nader,” Chon said, but added, “He can talk about safety belt?, but he doesn’t qualify to talk about nuclear technology.” “THE BULLPEfT Talbert cafeteria Amherst Campus Ham-2pm H-F A division of FSA I �classified Sales Service Parts Collision & Mechanical Service For Imported & Domestic Cars ■ - 10% Discount with UB I.D Free 10 am Shuttle to No. OFFICE HOURS: Mon.—Fri., 9 a.m—5 p.m. LOCATION: 355 Squire Hall, MSC.

Specifically, the petitions request, written with the aid of former SA President Steve Schwartz, calls for “a motion for an order to show cause as to the right to remove the plaintiffs as officers and directors of SA and the need to hold an election for said officeri.” This atteqipt to halt the special election may be in vain simply because the plaintiffs waited too long. According to Director of Information and Resource Services Ronald Dotlman, there may not be sufficient time for Mott to prepare his case, if the hearing is to be held before the election, which begins on Wednesday. “It’s a question of judicial fairness,” Dollman commented. At press time, it was uncertain if SWJ would hear the case on Tuesday (last) night. “Right now, there has been no decision made,” Dollman said on Monday. If the order to show cause is denied, the plaintiffs may stiH.be able to challenge the results of the election. “They may be able to petition for a hearing after the elections are over,” Dollmann informed. The defendants in the case, former SA President Richard Mott, Acting President Karl Schwartz and SA, would then have had ample time in which to prepare and present their case. The plaintiffs in the case have already had one motion denied. Last week!, the SWJ turned down their request for an injunction which would have halted the special election. The Court’s opinion then was that the petitioners did not show that the new elections caused irreparable harm to themselves or the student body. Despite this setback, the spirit of the four officers has not been broken.

The reader should hole this, although It in no way undermines Bunn’s > comments here. by Jay Rosen The Spectrum How — would you characterize response to the Academic Plan, particularly in how the Art* and Sciences and profeahonal schools differ? Well, let’s see. I’ve met with Bunn most of the faculties or schools in one way or another The responses share one thing in common, I would say at the beginning. All tend to focus on the things in the document that pertain directly to them. That’s usually the focus, or at least that's where they'd like to begin: Those aspects of the plan that suggest the considerations taken into account, or at least those we think ought to be taken into account in determining the allocation of resources, enrollment, growths or declines; comments on the particular school or - and they’re very concerned about drawing such a conclusion draw the conclusion, as I have to, that they may have to give up some additional instructional lines to enable me, in turn, to accommodate some of the needs of other schools and faculties. You may want to direct me here more, but let me add this. Reallocation does not solely affect adversely Arts and Letters. It a number of units, for example the Faculty of Educational Studies, already in the last two years has been asked to give up a number of faculty lines so that we can shift lines to still other units. I’ve already they faculties - - affects asked that there be a better relationship between enrollment and instructional lines in Social Work and the School of Information and Library Science. I have had to reduce Social Sciences and its faculty lines at we try to insure that there is a better match between the availability of resources and a school’s numbers at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. The Spectrum How far has the planning gone in identifying these centers — quality, distinguished faculty to join me in reviewing the nominations that come from die deans so we might make our judgement ajid recommendation to the President. pertain directly to The Spectrum Has the President given any indication on how he feels about this ■lea? Well, the President has expressed, I think, great support. He has deliberately refrained from taking a formal position until 1 complete my discussions. I am certain that he is interested in the whole idea. Bunn - an Doesn't Spectrum The environment characterized, as ours is, by a competition for resources and a sort of — within departments, work of the establishment against cross-disciplinary study; and isn’t it then left to the leadership of the University, the Vice President for particularly Academic Affairs, to take an active role in what financial the encouraging environment might work against? t’m not sure that it does work Bunn against it. I can see that it might but nationalism - Bunn Well, we are in a great dilemma here and I don't think we do ourselves a service by ignoring it. We are now experiencing, for the third year in a row, a — failure to meet our student enrollment sdrae call it an target. And the dilemma is that we probably can mak$ our irony enrollment target by opening our doors of study for the pre-professional and professionally oriented students. We can probably get inexhaustible numbers of undergraduates., we are prepared to admit them en masse to the - — - - continue to review what we have set forth; and tries to test the results during the planning period and draw some conclusions about the next period. So most of them have seen it in that - - in the meetings 1 have had they show more pointed with them interest and concern in my conclusion that there is necessarily a judgement and a relationship between enrollments and the prospects for resource additives or increases. And they are especially distressed by the application of that — —Ronald F. Bunn of excellence and where might they come from? Bunn We have deliberately refrained from making any decisions. This is simply a proposal. I think it’s one that the President will want to support. But until the plan, in its final form, is submitted to the President and he has a chance to respond whole thing, including that aspect of the — conceptually there’s no reason for it; and I as a practical matter, how it might can see, encourage it. In some I am not trying to suggest that all of our discussions around here be on such grubby things as numbers of students and student . . . their current condition. did suggest in the planning statement, that if we are to enable several schools and faculties to have the opportunity to serve the school and to develop the quality we think they ought to have, it may suggest some reallocations across schools and faculties. The match between the workload of the students they are serving in Arts and Letters and the numbers of .instructional lines they currently have is so far out of kilter relative to most other schools and /. . to plan, I think it’s inappropriate to try to make a judgement. I might also add that if that idea is accepted by the President, we need to put in place a system that will identify in the first round a few areas that can be designated as centers of excellence. I would expect that system to have two levels of articulation. One, I would expect each of the three faculties in Arts and Sciences, under the leadership of the dean, to review within its own faculty candidates or prospects for such designation. I would like to assemble a small group of high units the inter-disciplinary or multi-disciplinary units can develop greater responsiveness to students’ interests and needs. It might be an incentive to engage in that kind of cooperation. The Spectrum But do you think that there is enough cross-disciplinary programs, especially at the undergraduate level? Bunn In the discussions I’ve had with several faculties, we have finally addressed that point. And I would say especially that I am experiencing in some faculties great interest in how they can strengthen their responsibility in serving students by supporting more strongly the curriculum in other areas. That is, the Social Sciences are asking, for example, they’re asking themselves and that’s most important that they mk themselves what are the ways in which they can provide instructional support, in addition to what they already do, for the- professional schools: are we missing some good opportunities here to strengthen the professional education schools by failing to take into account the relationship between - "... faculty ratios of undermine a strict reliance on engineering. - f discussions. I an not trying to suggest that all of our discussions around here should be on such grubby things as numbers of students and student/faculty ratios. I’m suggesting that there has to be a relationship between the students we’re asked to serve and the programs we offer. And by suggesting that, this in turn may lead many faculties to ask programatically, how can they support enrollment figures? We would never conceive of a University, obviously, where 40 percent of our attention was paid to - Because I expressing great interest in how the human perspective and human condition can be placed more deliberately in the curriculum of the Engineering schools. 1 think there is the beginning of sorfre very exciting sort - . — their sense. And considerable interest has been shown by all of them in the centers of excellence, with I think a concern as we all must have as to whether we can carry that off given the restraints, monetarily, we may be under the next several years. ‘Can we do it all?' 1 think they’re asking. Arts and Letters I would say are more . The Spectrum There was a figure in the Reporter a few weeks ago that said that 40 percent of the entering freshmen want to be engineering students. Doesn’t that those areas there will be some disagreement about some of the conclusions I may have drawn compared to their impressions. But mostly, the impression I have. is that they are understanding our attempt to provide a framework within which planning ought to occur. It’s not what I would call and I think they’ve understood this in most cases a comprehensive institutional plan that attempts to take a snapshot of the campus, in all of its detail, and say over the next three to five years: here specifically are programs that are marked for growth, maintenance or decline. Instead they see it and this is the correct interpretation as trying to set forth the criteria that we think are appropriate for the deans and the themselves faculty to draw some conclusions about their priorities; set forth some principles we think are important about the ways'we can grow and develop; tries to indicate that there ought to be put into place a process by which we can reasoning The English Department had a much higher student faculty ratio in 74 than they currently have. Now. were they less strong in 1974 than they are now? ...” ", each other and, by the way, strengthen their student enrollment figures. In pointedly — - - ... faculty that program. the needs of professionals and the Social Science perspective? Similarly, I would say there is serious discussion going on, for at least at the deans level it’s example between Engineering and Arts going on and Letters in which Engineering is - — - Management program and the Engineering program. We deliberately in the past have kept down our capability to serve the Management and Engineering schools because we are interested and do intend to maintaiaa broad based university here. But the dilemma is, ''finally, that unless we make a certain level' of enrollment, in the aggregate, we may be presiding over a continuous erosion of resources, and we will have very little left to distribute for any program. It’s especially because it is especially difficult to shape the mix of enrollments at the entering level. It’s very difficult for us to know at the time a student iS applying. It’s difficult to take steps to enlarge the number of students that are interested, finally, in the Arts and Sciences. So we are partly dependent on students who come here without indicating their interests deciding thiy want to go a professional route; and so we’re not totally masters of our own fate here in governing entirely our enrollment. There’s a real art here in trying to maintain a good sense about taking all the steps that are appropriate to insure that we get a mix of students some of whom will be professionally oriented in their interests and others who will be Arts and Sciences - oriented. The Spectrum Isn’t there an art to encouraging or exciting students about the Arts and Sciences, the humanities in particular, espcially at the undergraduate level, and about .-the legitimacy an education in those programs provides? Aren’t there ways to do that that we’re not exploring? Bunn Well, I think some of our steps now to re-examine general education may have that result.

The plan blames recent cuts in faculty lines nad increasing enrollment in concluding that “the quality of instruction offered has measurably suffered.” Recitations and lectures are overcrowded and for Math drafted the Plan, said that a copy was submitted to Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn this week. Isbell hopes that the Plan will “at least encourage him (Bunn) not to cut us again.” Stony Brook The Plan compares UB’s Math department to others in the SUNY system, citing Stony Brook’s as excellent. “But if it is clear to all that Stony Brook now has a first class Mathematics Department,” the report said, “it is equally clear that that department has had first class support from their administration; they have not lost a single line and still growing; since 1975 we have lost over 7 and one halflines.” Bunn was not available for comment. Another Math professor, Scott Invest in Buffalo’ campaigns in an endeavor to cross redlining Williams, agreed that more faculty necessary; to teach both undergraduate and graduate courses. Williams said that this is the first year that every calculus course he has taught included over 100 students. Williams believes that 40 should be the maximum number of students in a lecture with 20 being the ideal for solid teacher-student realtionships. Isbell, on the,, other hand, believes that 60 students per lecture is reasonable. “But,” he added, “100 to 200 students in a cl?ss impairs instruction.” A senior who assists in the Math Learning Lab in Hayes Hall, Debbie Haendinges, said that many freshmen she instructs would like more personal attention. She said that most of the students who use the Lab are engineering or management majors who are required to take calculus. The problem, Haendiges contends, is that “in recitations there isn’t enough time to ask individual questions.” The department has encountered snarls in scheduling by Paul Privitera Staff Writer are Math Professor John Isbell “200students Buchanan impairs instruction' the department has difficulty attracting highly qualified graduate students to low TA stipends, the plan states. The document asserts that “a strong case can now be made for at least a modest increase in mathematics faculty”, since “a greater percentage of freshmen are choosing programs that require mathematics courses.” The Plan points to revealing statistics: the student/faculty ratio spiked from 18.5 in 1973 to 27.6 in 1978, while the number of authorized faculty has dipped form 50 in 1973 to 42 in 1978.

The “invest in Buffalo” campaign was officially born at a community meeting sponsored by the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYP1RG) at the Prince of Peace church. The 40 people attending the meeting all expressed anger and concern over rampant redlining in Buffalo, but mixed in with these attitudes was a shared feeling of commitment and optimism. Brandishing- the slogans “Stop ready to Neighborhood Decay”, “Fight Redlining”, and “Invest in Buffalo,” the charged assembly became an impressive hotbed of citizen anger and enthusiasm. Most of those present were residents of Fillmore-Leroy, Delevan-Grider, and Bailey-Delavan, the neighborhoods hardest hit by redlining.

Naturally, most politicians are against it and the two candidates for governor, Republican-Conservative Perry B. Duryea and Democratic-Liberal Hugh L. Carey, are no exceptions. In fact, neither candidate differs substantially from the status quo in his answers to the problems of crime. Both agree that sentences should be lengthened, paroles restricted, prosecutions quickened and juvenile offenders imprisoned. But when it comes to the subject of reinstating the death penalty in New York, Carey and Duryea disagree violently. One of Duryea’s most stinging criticisms of what he calls “Carey's administration” is his failure “to yield to overwhelming public opinion and sign a bill that would reinstate the dealth penalty do nothing for violent crimes.” In statements made in Albany last week, Carey defended his position by reminding the press that “I have been merely upholding the campaign promise 1 made during the ’74 election campaign. 1 said then that I could not allow the state to be used to sanction murder. Why does my opponent fault me for this? If 1 had broken my campaign promise. I’m certain that Mr. Duryea would accuse me of being hypocritical.” - ‘A hypocrite anyway’ A day later, Duryea responded to Carey’s remarks at a Manhattan luncheon saying that Carey “is a hypocrite anyway, so why does he hide behind one of his campaign promises when he knows full well that the polls have shown that more than two-thirds of the electorate want the death penalty back?” “But the matter extends beyond just the death penalty issue,” charged Duryea. “Carey’s criminal and economic policies have led to a sharp increase in juvenile crime. Most young criminals receive nothing more than a slap on the wrist for crimes as serious as rape and murder.” The ball was now back in Carey’s court and Carey did not fail to extensive research on the issue of General Education. She called for more student involvement in the University’s General Education policy decisions. —continued on page 19 Energy Conservation group is created here by Susan Kushner Staff Writer Spectrum “I am not trying to preach ‘do this’ and ‘don’t do that’.

Members of Clifford Furnas Collage are charging that Fargo Cafeteria in the Ellicott Complex has become a health hazard because the —Markowitz kitchen has not been cleaned since the beginning of the semester. Food Service said that it can't keep up with the damage from parties and beer blasts. Health hazard Fargo Cafeteria plagued by rising costs, overdue repairs by Kevin Walbesser Spectrum Staff Writer Increased expenses and a delay in repairs by Food Service have resulted in deteriorating conditions at the Fargo Cafeteria, now “bordering on a health hazard”, according to the members of Clifford Fornas College (CFC). “The kitchen has not been cleaned in quite awhile. Apart from the dirt and unpleasant smell, this condition is bordering on a health hazard,” said members of CFC in a recent letter to Food Service. The college, which uses tire cafeteria as a focal point for their activities, complained that parts are being taken from the Fargo kitchen for use jn other cafeterias, and that electrical systems have been left exposed, presenting a fire hazard. Assistant Director of Food Service Donald Bozek said that the kitchen in Fargo Cafeteria has not been cleaned “thoroughly” because “it is presenly being used to store refrigerators, which should be moved by the end of the week.” Bozek also said that the clean up will not begin until repairs have been made on kitchen equipment. • Canada by Century Importers, Inc., New York. NY Six week delivery According to Bozek, parts and equipment for the Fargo kitchen have been ordered from California and will require “approximately six weeks for delivery. Bozek feels that it is legitimate in the meantime to interchange parts between kitchens to offset the time delay. Residential Coordinator at Clifford Furnas College John M. Bowman, claimed that the cafeteria has not been cleaned since the beginning of the semester, and that the area is filthy. Director, of Custodial Services Dick Cudeck, refuted Bowman’s claim saying, “If it had not been cleaned since the beginning of the semester you would not be able to walk through there, let alone stand the smell.” Cudeck added that furniture and the carpeting is being damaged from beer blasts and parties. “We cannot keep up with the parties,” he said adding that the area is becoming, harder and harder to clean. “We don’t have the money to bring in extra crews to clean up after every party,” Cudeck explained. In the future a cleaning charge may be issued to those who reserve the cafeteria, he said. No clean up Any University group or organization can reserve Fargo cafeteria through the Management Student Club. The groups or organizations are responsible for cleaning according -to agreements made with either Custodial or Food Services. According to Bozek, problems arise when groups who reserve the area fail to clean up or when there is an unscheduled party. Clean-up in these cases is done by Custodial Services when they discover the mess and are able to spare crews. “The irresponsible people who have parties in Fargo and do nut clean up are making it hard for residents there,” said Bowman. Both Food and Custodial Services are searching for alternative beer blast locations, where clean up would be easier and faster. �/ * Battle —continued from psg* 1 . , S „SA senator Chuck Froehlich, constitutional article that stipulates the Senate must jf approve the rules of the election at least two weeks before polls moved that the Senate 5 open today’s scheduled postpone i voting.

The fire, which started between 9:30 and 10 p.m., has forced the relocation of the approximately 100 students living in the dormitory to nearby resident halls. The fire will prevent the opening of the first floor wing until next semester at the earliest. Although the cause of the blaze has not been determined, arson is suspected because four minor bulletin board fires occurred shortly thereafter in other buildings on campus. Students rushed quickly from the three-story, 200 student dormitory as local firemen arrived on the scene 15 minutes after the alarm was sounded. Two female students who were trapped on the third floor escaped without injury through a window when firmen extended a ladder to them.

To the Editor to any other - In The Spectrum, Monday October 23, Carlos Benitez, a contender for SA Director of Activities and Services, was mentioned as a candidate, it should be noted that Carlos is running as a member Karl Sch wari Acting President Student Association Any careful examination of the spirit of General Education and the substance of the Academic Plan will provide a similarly confounding message. For whatever reasons, the Academic Plan allows the future of the University to follow the existing enrollment patterns of students, predominantly undergraduates. But General Education, in many basic, undeniable ways is a reaction against what educators feel i.e. a redirection of undergraduate are warped course selections — enrollment patterns. While the Academic Plan says we can't deny that Management and Engineering are where student interests lie. General Education screams that we can’t rely on student interests to provide a legitimate undergraduate education. While we are sure that this Catch-22 has not gone unrecognized, we are concerned about its implications. There are simple, but questions to be asked here that strike deeper than bureaucratic logjams like class size and scheduling elasticity right to important Ian Smith denounced To the Editor We, the Black Student Union, denounce the presence of the notorious Ian Smith in this country. It amazes us that a man who is reknown for practicing exploitation, discrimination, oppression, humiliation and genocide of black people is allowed to leisurely tour this country without any major obstructions. What is more ironic is the fact that the Carter administration is supposedly functioning under a humanistic premise and then turns around and meets with this pathetic specimen of a human. What in the universe could Carter and Smith possibly be talking about. If anything. Carter should be telling Smith and his puppets to give up his position as Prime Minister of Zimbawe (Rhodesia) and give the government back to the people with one one vote sufferage. Ian Smith is man procrastinating giving up the power because he is a racist. He cannot see beyond his own personal superiority complex, which many other people possess also. Are we as citizens going in reverse when we let entertain presidents hypocritical hypocritical detrimental Prime Ministers at a house of which we pay for with our hard-earned money? - The Black Student Linn — the core of how we define education and the educated person. of higher education in admitting that the academic freedoms of the late 1960's and early 1970's went top far, or are now out of touch, than how can it accept a on the enrollment dollar for dollar plan that bases support If the University agrees with the rest — — patterns those freedoms gave rise to? If the Academic Plan is more than a budget document, if it is a framework for future planning, how does it help us plan for the ?edefinition of undergraduate education, the reshaping of college graduates' intellectual skills and the recharging of faculty interest in the art of teaching? Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn has said himself that, to the extent plans are unrealizable, they are frustrating to the system. What evidence can he offer that the General Education program or what the committee feels should be the program will not be unrealizable? And just why should we discard fears that an eroding base of support (and its resultant wrecking of faculty morale) in Arts and Sciences will render General Education nothing more than a revamping of distribution requirements? Not ail these fears are two or three years off. We doubt that the framers of the General Education program are envisioning Mathematics recitations bulging with 60 students, or composition courses with twice as high a student to teacher ratio as the ideal. But these are the things we see here now, as we look up from a plan that reluctantly promises to tighten such stranglings of the learning process. To the extent that General Education is an attitude, a way of thinking about education, the rhetoric floating around the University shrouds that attitude in pessimism. It matters that the Arts and Sciences who will surely find themselves with most of the feel the VPAA's commitment is responsibility for General Education an empty one. It matters that Bunn has failed to address the scarecrow syndrome General Education hangs on the University. It matters that, for a movement built around the excitement of intellectual discovery. General Education is left to flourish in an atmosphere still stinging with cynicism and mistrust. - — The review didn't have heart passionately desires to get it on in the midst of a Memorial Aud crowd can complain about incoherent To the Editor Mr, Goldberg’s Heart article made mine beat a little faster. I had confidence, at first sight, of reading a good review of what was an even better concert or maybe even some quick criticism which any band can use. But it became obvious that I was to find neither. I proceeded to wade through a sea of topics reminiscent of Roseanne Roseannadanna; everything from Mr. Goldberg’s ulcers to nearly 30 percent of the column outlining the ways and means of having sex with a band in concert; of being raped by a rock band. Not that willfully mind you anyone is for, or opposed, or even cares; but is this the place for his warped theories? Half of his article is so general and philosophical that if not for his reference to Ann Wilson’s flute solo I’d have wondered if he had even attended this concert at all. A review matters to respective newcomers. Most will only get friend's opinions or read the reviews. Few saw this one a concert where not even a stray frisbee could find its way to the ‘oranges,’ and last-minute ticket buyers could get ‘reds.’ This was a good, under-rated concert which definitely needed more publicity and we find ourselves reading about what “Dreamboat Annie” and “Little Queen” did wrong.

To begin with, it can hardly be denied that Lev has in fact saved the SA over $400, by only spending an estimated $550, instead of the $1000 that The Spectrum originally accused him of wasting. It also behooves us to protest Karl Schwartz’s outrageous allegation, that this “kind of event . makes students sick to their .. stomachs.” How can he make this kind of preposterous statement when everybody knows that bagels are conducive to a salubrious diet? If anything, the $250 for bagels was well-spent, insofar as it evidenced a rather extreme concern on Lev’s part for the health of both the bodies and spirits of the student population. And not the least of the issues we wish to address is that of the cultural value of this kind of well-nigh “non-event.” For it was apparent to us that the amount of pleasure and entertainment generated by his “non-event” far surpassed that provided by any othef' SA-sponsored event to date.

Spectrum . - , Failure to cover the Pope To the Editor: We have enjoyed reading your newspaper since became students here, two years ago, and we have always regarded it as a fine publication, at least we up until recently. On October 16, Cardinal Karl Wojtyla of Poland elected Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. We realize that the position of a student newspaper is to place emphasis on University related events, but this has never stopped your staff from going beyond campus news and reporting on Ideal, national and international affairs. Our criticism of your newspaper, which in many cases is the only form of information available to students on this campus, is your failure to provide any information on an event affecting some 700 million Roman Catholics around the world. As members of the Polish American population here at UB we find it insulting that a paper dedicated to students' needs and interests should choose to completely disregard this history making event. The former Cardinal Woityla, who speaks in excess of was five languages fluently, is among the most learned men to be chosen for the Papacy and the first non-Italian to be chosen in 455 years. Karl Wojtyla has succeeded in shattering defamatory stereotyping of Poles and Polish Americans. Pope John Paul li is a source of pride and prestige to both Catholics and Poles alike, and it is time that the neglect of issues and events pertinent to studetns, and especially to Polish Americans here at this University, be recognized and be corrected.

The most important fact to keep in mind when reading The Spectrum's SA candidate endorsements is that they represent the subjective and biased, and probably predetermined, opinions of one overriding Editor-in-Chief. Yes, there were several editors present at the candidate interviews, but their presence proved only to be a rubber-stamp justification of Jay Rosen’s solitary conclusions. It is not surprising that in the editorial preamble to the endorsements, all that is discussed is The Spectrum's right and privilege to endorse candidates, a right which is not even being contested (1 see the defensiveness of a guilty conscience here). The more crucial matters of criteria for judgement and basis vehemently for course and teaching evaluations, who has met with everybody who has anything to do with academics (including Bunn, Peradotto, Ketter, Welch. Kung, Coppiello, etc.) . . And they endorsed for evaluation are nowhere to be found. If you are a girl who they admit is a gamble, who probably going to be opinionated, at least say so. What makes doesn't even know who the people 1 listed above are, things worse is that The Spectrum has obtrusively and by the time she finds out it will be March time involved itself in the events leading to this election for another election. Sounds a bit absurd to me. You by taking a clear stance in favor of certain SA decide. . - officials and against others. So, they didn't endorse me me, who has created the SA Teaching Awards, who has fought Sheldon Gopsiein - Director of Academic Affairs Student Association Inscrutable endorsements To the Editor Your editorial on October 23 (“Why we endorse”) has the appearance of a responsible editor disburdening his conscience over the power of his political endorsements. I find great value in the need for such an explanation; and I sincerely commend you for having made it. But in the interests of responsible journalism, which is,the issue of the editorial, 1 must inform and demonstrate to your readers that your views have more appearance than substance. You are rankly coy when you speak of “the traditional heavy hand [that] The Spectrum's endorsements appear [my italics] to have on the election outcome.” You self-rigtheously answer “No” to whether your endorsements are the final words. Your endorsements are not only the “final word;” in the past election they were practically the only words. I realize this year’s freshmen are in the dark about the last March election. 1 will inform them and remind the others that The Spectrum's endorsements then were based upon an interview with the candidates, an interview that was never published. (1 am sure, Mr. Rosen, that you remember the tirade of mail protesting this fact.) The Spectrum staff therefore denied its readers of the raw data needed for them to arrive at an independent decision, one that can be contrasted with The Spectrum's editorial. I am not denying the editor’s right to feel competent about his qualifications to pick the best and the brightest. What I am contending is that his reporting does not allow each of the 25,000 students of UB the same right under roughly the same conditions. You may have noticed that in responsible journals, the editorial staff allows various amounts of time for the raw data to be digested by the public, before the dramatic moment of endorsing its candidate. The reason for this delay is because these responsible journals are aware that a person’s opinion can be contaminated by a previously stated opinion. This psychological fact is especially true for personal relationships. A person can be favorably or ill-disposed towards another because of memory of a third person’s opinion, in politics, where personality and ideology is intertwined, an editor should delay his endorsement so that reason can actually have some sway. His delayed endorsement, when finally made, should serve in helping the undecided, and in giving the decided something to bounce off. All of this lovely democracy is damaged when the raw data and the endorsements are printed simultaneously, or worse, when the latter is printed before the former, as was the case. The only “raw data” allowed was a brief statement from each candidate, a far cry from printing the text of the interview. An interview better measures how a candidate can respond to questions. A political statement leaves a candidate too much freedom to exercise his rhetorical abilities. i vt Such vitas the case with those statement*!.''* You bring up a useful distinction when you identify voters who smuggle editorials into the voting booth, and those who “absorb all the news coverage,” then “coincidentally” arrive at the same decision as the editorial. But here, your logic is again abandoned, because you naively assume that there was adequate news coverage for the second group to exist. That is; since you did not print the interview, virtually the only basis voters had last March was those endorsements. Therefore, there was no “coincidence” that people arrived at the same “informed decision” as The Spectrum’s. I hope you don’t naively respond that there is other news coverage than- The Spectrum's. I know there are radioed debates. The Reporter, and the political events themselves. This is besides the point. Are you being realistic in assuming 25,000 students are going, e.g., to attend a live debate? Nonsense. You should recognize your paper not as the only source, but as the most convenient, thus the most influential news source. Then’ you can plan accordingly, by trying for as complete coverage as possible for all races. The coverage should be of facts, not endorsements. if you pride yourself on being so competent to endorse candidates, shouldn’t you now feel humbled by the very fact of this strange election? After all, before they began dismembering each other, they all your candidates. Why are so many of them egotistical? 1 believe The Spectrum's irresponsible election coverage is indirectly at fault. It did not test the March candidates thoroughly; it simply aggrandized some feeble intellects. Once in power, some of the products of your demagoguery act with as much contempt as The Spectrum for the ideal of responsiblity to voters. Jane Baum (who not surprisingly also works for The Spectrum) is an outstanding example of an official with such contempt. As you may recall, she acted upon an issue no less controversial than abortion, during the summer when dissenting students would be least likely present to oppose her. 1 advise all students to question the political ethics of her tactics, regardless of their questions on the religious ethics of abortion, I advise jaded law students to not quibble whether her tactics are legal, to ask but whether there was true voter representation. And I advise The Spectrum to reconsider the flowery terms of her endorsement last March, remembered so grimly by my stomach. If her challenger, Ed Guity, so much as believes in democracy, he has my vote. Mr. Rosen, as managing editor at the time, you belonged to the junta that was part of the March ’78 shammery. From this, have you learned anything about election coverage? Your October 23 editorial means you have a little more awareness about responsibility than your predecessor. I’m glad you also arrested your itchy endorsement finger on the contests for Executive Vice President, and Vice President for Sub Board I, because of clear interest conflicts. Vou also gave reasonable, not conclusive, arguments for endorsing the other candidates, based on an interview two days earlier. Other endorsements you made are not reasonable at all, much less comprehensible. In the were unreasonable. Instead, we take what we feel are the most crucial issues and prepare written questions on them that the candidates prepare themselves. We then print those verbatim. Last year we spent eight pages on the candidates statements alone, and one and a half on endorsements. So your claim that our endorsements were “practically the only words" simply holds no water - particularly when you throw in the Letters to the Editor column and our news coverage of the candidates forums. No. we did not deny our readers the raw data with which to make a decision. -/ don’t remember any tirade of mail protesting the fact that we never published The interview. Looking through hack issues. I found three letters opposing the endorsements, two from candidates who were not endorsed. Perhaps vve differ on the definition of a tirade. Your points on the timing of endorsements, relative to the raw data, are all good ones. But once again, you lack the knowledge necessary for responsible criticism. The timetable for SA elections does nut allow us to do what you are asking. This year, for example, candidates' petitions were due on Thursday, October 19. The campaign officially began on Friday, October 20. Interviews were scheduled for Saturday, October 21. Endorsements were written on Sunday, October 22, and appeared Monday, October 23. Candidates' statements were the day the printed Wednesday, October 24' elections begin. Where might we.stretch this out?. This year, we had a choice of printing endorsements Monday or Wednesday. Last year’s timetable was nearly identical. In the past, we have been criticized for a.) making endorsements the final thing voters read before entering the booths and b.) not allowing To time for a reply to our endorsements. accommodate both of these very legitimate crucial race for Student Activities Director, for concerns, we ran endorsements first and made the example, you prefer Barry Caulder over Carlos candidates own thoughts on the issues the last thing Benitez. You say Caulder has “ideas,” some of which voters absorbed. We also allowed time for replies, you admit are “infeasible.” Meanwhile, you discredit which the candidates themselves requested. Your incumbent Benitez, for despite his “hard work” he argument is the SA officials and the limited has “few concrete ideas.” And so, you prefer a man campaign time they allow. A lot of thinking went with sometimes infeasible ideas over a man whose into the liming of the endorsements; none of it fault might be that he knows, through experience, concerned with how we can make them more how hard it is to put ideas in practice. The worst powerful. -In attempting to criticize the results of the part is that all your readers don’t even know exactly what ideas you are talking about! I find even less entire endorsement process, you say that The Spectrum editors selfishly kept the "all important profundity in other endorsements. I hope you can see you have only made token interview" to themselves, denying the student body Us informational rights. The you say we did not attempts at responsible journalism. If, Mr. Rosen, you are still following my line of argument, you may “lest the candidates thoroughly"in those interviews. see that you have not done enough. Again, The The magic interview is thus cast as crucial in one Spectrum did not print the all-important interview. sentence and blamed for undesirable candidates in Why do you make elections in this school hinge so another. If our interviews led us to select such much upon, not an interview, but a newspaper’s "egotistical" candidates, then why would you impression of an interview? Are you capable of scream for their publication? The real point here is imagining if the media merely presented its that we do not claim, nor will we accept, endorsements for U.S. president, solely on an responsiblity for the performance of the candidates interview made in some dark conclave? When are we endorse. We promote them, as the "best choice” you going to pursue the goal of having the greatest given the competition and nothing more. If you, pGssible degitee of independent judgment by your cannot understand that the label "best choice ”j readers? might mean the lesser of three evils and does nof or anything else I hope in the next election that you do print the necessarily insure competency full text of the interview, and that you schedule then this response will probably not mean much. To publication of this text before your inscrutable say they were “our candidates" is naivete with a passion. Think about it. endorsements. You have a point on the wording of the Boh Lombardi endorsements. They may he vague in places.

Failure to obtain quorum meeting delays first The student Association (SA) did not convene this semester until Monday because acting President Karl Schwartz has been unable to assemble enough representatives for a quorum. The first meeting was rescheduled from October 1 5 to October 23. The three SA Task Forces, Student Activities and Services, Student Affairs and Academic Affairs, had not elected their contingent of representatives to the Senate until last week. The Task Forces, which had only represent student interests in the three different elected 7 of a potential total of 27 senators: 5 are to be drawn from the Student Activities and Services Task Force, 10 from the Student Affairs Task Force and 2 from the Academic Affairs Task Force. Director of Student Affairs and Services, Barry Rubin, said since some clubs and organizations have not sent representatives to the Task Force, his group has been unable to elect the full allotment of senators. Rubin, who chairs the Student Activities and Services Task Force, blamed the lack of elected senators on communication problems with the organizations. “My hands are tied,” Rubin said. “Many organizations don’t understand what the Task Force is.” \ — by Denise Stumpo Pasta is cheap and filling but even the most diehard of spaghetti benders eventually tire of Mama Ragu’s tomato sauce and the stains it leaves.

I can think of no better safeguard for divisiveness than that. Karl Schwartz How much of what appears to be an annual divisiveness within the upper levels of SA can be traced to the nature of student government at SUNY Buffalo and how much is a result of the particular personalities of SA officers in recent years. What steps will you take to guard against these two sources of dissension? The Structure of the Student Association, as outlined- in its constitution, is far too conducive to the creation of an 6lite ruling body beholden to no one. A non-representative senate, with virtually explicit no is hardly an responsibilities, adequate check on the power wielded by the officers, directors Every SA administration has talked about getting the student body involved and every one summarily failed. How do you explain this failure and what are the practical implications of annual apathy for the Student Association? The lack of student participation in SA relates to some degree again to the structure the organization. of There exists no viable currently by mechanism which students undergraduate may become active participants in SA, other than running for office. Revamping the Student Senate along the lines that 1 have my previous in suggested statement will certainly make participation in the Senate a more and coordinators of the Student proposition. More Association. Year after year, ‘attractive student leaders lose sight of the students would participate if they fact that they are (or ought to be) knew that as Senators they would directly accountable to the entire not just have token input, but an effective voice in the organization. undergraduate student body Additionally, if students were not just themselves. given course credit 'for legitimate Student Association executive participation in SA, achieving positions become little fiefdoms student body involvement would for the office holders to pfay certainly be less difficult.

Absolute SA has failed to involve the control facilitates an attitude of student body primarily because intrangence and non-acceptance SA has failed to adequately of varying points of view (e.g. represent the rights and interests “This is my area, therefore I know of undergraduate students. If we best”). were an effective organization, Although much of the problem students would be far more of divisiveness can be traced to inclined to take part. We must the structure of SA, to a greater become a socially conscious extent it is a result of the organization, viewing ourselves as particular personalities of SA advocates for a particular class of officers in recent years. Each year people. It is imperative that we candidates who are ill equipped in move away from the notion of SA terms of and personality as simply a fee disburser and - professional ability to adequately fulfill the responsibilities of their positions are elected to office. Sandbox politicians, adept at political gamesmanship, yet lacking ideological perspective or practical insight are ushered into office I I have taken specific action which 1 feel will help prevent, in the future, the type of destructive divisiveness which has occurred in SA this year: I have proposed Constitutional Amendments which if enacted, will make the Student Senate a more and broadly based representative body. In addition, the amendments confer to the powers Senate actual and responsiblities and mandate accountability to it by the SA and officers, Directors Coordinators. To best insure that the most qualified candidates get elected, I strongly supported the recent SA to allow any decision to endorse organization candidates. In democratizing the endorsement procedure, Student Association has taken a step which can only improve the credibility of its elective process. Finally, I have been fortunate enough to assemble a very particular group of people who are willing to run for office with me. They are characterized by Executive Vice President activity planner. Students have very needs and desires particular and as the recognized representative body of the students it time we is organized around these concerns. We are not a government, we govern no one. We are closer to being a union. Unfortunately, we have been a very ineffective student union, unable to organize our leaders let alone the undergraduate student body. Non-involvement in SA causes the organization to become top handful of students end up making decisions for 14,000 undergraduates. In addition these few students are not capable by themselves of effectively dealing with the many issues and heavy. A problems confronting undergraduates. A more severe consequence of non-concern on the part of undergrads is the effect that it has on SA’s various The credibility. departments, the administration. and the community will show small concern for an organization that has not the respect of its constituency. exist, will alway Apathy however, it is important to realize that as student participation in SA increases, so does its ability to represent and safeguard undergraduate interests. those tasks out? There are roles specifically outlined the in Student Association Constitution for the vice president. The two primary roles are to chair the SA Senate and to coordinate the internal structure of the Student (Directors, Associaiton Coordinators,, etc.). These two roles must be expanded and to increase the developed effectiveness of SA. The vice president must make use of the senate. more effective The senate for the past years has been a vast untapped resource. There is a great deal of knowledge available to be pulled from these 45 individuals who compose the legislative body of SA. The senator’s skills can be put Joel Mayersohn Should the Executive Vice President, in his role as chairman of the SA Senate, be a leader of the senate, one frho attempts to guide policy; or should he be an impartial mediator who carefully avoides taking sides? How does your answer help to provide an appropriate balance of power between the executive and branches of the legislative government? The effective functioning of the Student Association Senate is vital to a successful Student Association. As chairman of the senate the Executive Vice President must be aware of this and alter his actions accordingly. Autocratic rule of the senate by the vice president is not the answer. The vice president must allow the senate to be an open forum of ideas and opinions. A not a dialogue constant must prevail. As monologue chairman of the senate the vice president must insist that a free and equal exchange of ideas occur in order to allow the senate to study all available options, when to formulate attempting legislation. As an elected representative of the students the vice president has an obligation and valid interest in the outcome of all legislation passed by the senate. In this respect, it is important for the vice president not so much to “guide policy” but to indicate to the senate ideas which they may have neglected to study. The vice president should be an impartial observer to the extent that he is able to view the senate as an “outsider looking in” who is carefully studying, processing and analyzing all the information present. Once the vice president has formulated all the data, he should report to his colleagues with an object summarization of the issues present and indicate those ideas or issues which merit The role of Chairman of the o Student Senate is a leadership § responsiblity which requires this ® a to have clear understanding of the constitution jJ government. and student In addition the chairman must have a better than general understanding of the problems which confront academically students and person on these facts the chairman of the senate cannot separate his (or her) responsiblity to lead where necessary, interpret where necessary and mediate while necessary, where all the ideals and forwarding principles of good government. This approach provides the socially.

This has been done to a minimal What tasks should be delegated extent in the past bur this ideology must become entrenched to the Vice President and what in the functioning of the senate. new ideas do you have to carry Also essential to the successful functioning of SA is establishment of open lines of communication within the a organization, problem that has been plaguing SA most recently,., The vice must meet with president directors and coordinators on a regular basis to help establish direction in SA. These meetings will attempt to prevent SA from becoming bogged with internal strife, a predominant factor ,in past years. The vice president must also act as a liason between the directors and the president. The vice president should confer daily with the president to discuss the immediate and long term goals of SA, the methods being taken to achieve these expectations and the those tasks out? I believe the tasks and/or duties of the Exeuctive Vice President are extensive enough at present and fulfilling these responsibilities is a full-time job for calling real dedication. Basically, the new ideas that 1 have all revolve around providing the best possible representation for undergraduate students at this University. Vice President for Sub Board I - consideration. By following this line of action a firm balance is struck between the legislative and executive branches of government. The constant flow of ideas is in a direct with the relationship ideology of legislative power.

How , does your answer help to provide an appropriate balance of power between legislative the executive branches pf. and the students’ needs. These needs tend more easily analyzed in terms but much more difficult to translate into popular and heavily used activities and to be genral services. Advertising for student involvement and feedback usually reaps a meager response, and always there is the unavoidable suspicion that the largest sector of studeht opinion gpes unexpressed. Consequently, thdse individuals — �from P»Q* 11— « •» «re given the responsibility of prgoramming for a university of Jwho over 25,000 are more often e g g ft 2 • “ ? j g O £ }* than forced to rely on their intuitive feelings as to what students actually want. Of course this institution can be more skillfully developed by Experience, some leaders. rationality and basic common sense are the qualities that when the most combined form competent student programmers. These leaders must possess the not ability to gauge the potential response to an activity or service and to weed through those ideas fairly which are sometimes appealing yet highly unpractical. Due to the realization that the largest sector of those who will eventually participate in a service are silent in its planning, we must always attempt to remain sensitive to what are foten subtle cues. These barriers to student input are not insurmountable. Often I have found that eavesdropping on casual conversations about Sub Board on the buses or in the extremely Student Club is enlightening. In addition, people have come to me and detailed various personal problems they have encountered in utilizing a Sub Board service. Besides these rather informal techniques there are certain elements which have been incorporated into Sub Board for the purpose of more effective programming. One such method is the utilization of programming committees, especially in UUAB to gather ideas. These committees provide more widely based input from which the committee chairpeople can reap information for programming. The Board of Directors is also used towards this end. Through their discussions at monthly meetings the various government student representatives can bring the ideas of their constiuents to Sub Board I. For me the real problem in student programming once we move from the more popular area such as movies and concerts is not determining what in solely students want but in isolating responsible and diligent students who are capable of transforming these ideas into reality. of concern, lack of energy, and a lack of direction and leadership. What innovative steps will you take to ensure that all SA clubs and organizations are fiscally responsible and spend every dollar wisely? What might be the problems with your approach, i.e. what negative effects might it on the organizations have involved? Innovative steps I would take to ensure that all SA clubs and fiscally organizations are responsible and spending every dollar wisely would be to work closely with the clubs. From that the Treasurer’s office would implement a system of short and long term planning, accompanying this would have to be cost and benefit analysis, so that monies were spent wisely. have to Groups would demonstrate to me that in their planning they would be pretty much accurate as to the cost and return of any event. Spending would be checked closely and would be further spending planned to a “T.” I see no problem with my approach, nor do I feel that the SA clubs will see any problems with my approach. For, as SA Treasurer, it would be my duty and responsibility to ensure fiscal responsibility among the various will see any problems with my approach. For, as SA Trasurer, it would be duty and ensure fiscal among the various SA clubs and organizations, in an attempt to keep SA fiscally sound, so that there might be an SA next year and the year after and so on. Because SA is a student service oriented government, which is essential to every student at the my to responsiblity responsiblity University, there must always be funds so that these student services can and will be carried out. So, | couldn't possibly see anyone objecting to maintaining and ensuring the survival and viability of SA so that it might continue to be a student service oriented government. Treasurer Last spring, the Finance Committee could not agree on an SA budget and members of the Executive Committee stepped in, circamventing the treasurer to prepare what ultimately became this year’s budget. What were the implications of this budget battle and how would you ensure a smoother budget process? The implications of the 1978 budget battle were far reaching in that it showed that the Financial Assembly didn’t seem to have direction nor leadership, which eventually led to the Executive Committee virtually deciding this year’s budget. This l~ see as usurpation of the rights of the Financial Assembly’s job in proposing the budget. From the above it could be construed that the Executive Committee might want to make the 1979 budget, they virtually make up 1978’s budget. This could be seen select elitist, as an few monopolizing the policies and monies of government SA, whose they do would be to that the Financial thin* to see to it Committee should Priorities evaluate how each area that receives funding from SA is using that funding, and determine the future needs of each area. The Financial Priorities Committee s evaluation and recommendations should then be presented to the Finance Committee and the Financial Assembly. Financial the year Last Priorities Committee never met, and this could explain some of the porblems that arose. If the Financial Priorities Committee does function properly and prepares an evaluation, then the Finance Committee and the Financial Assembly will have a better idea of how the budget lines should be drawn. What innovative steps will you take to ensure that all SA clubs and organizations are fiscally responsible and spend every dollar might be the wisely? What problems with your approach, i.e. what negative effects might it have on the organizations involved? There are three things that could be done which I feel could help ensure that SA clubs and fiscally are organizations responsible. They are: randomly I’m sure the students that heed these supplies would be and willing to participate in running it. The only major problem 1 can forsee with this co-op is deciding whether to place it on the Main Street Campus or at Bethune. This, however, could be worked out by the students involved. Another co-op that exists on the campus is Wilkeson Quad/Rachel Carson food co-op. This service is limited to a small number of students at Ellicotl. The co-op has the potential to serve all interested students of the cooperative? Can you forsee any problems in starting a cooperative on this campus? Large-scale, our books of clubs that receive SA funding, developing an inventory of equipment owned by clubs and out events, economical status. Moreover, the only way to get of the fiscal restraints faced by Student Association is to begin to turn the enormous profits made off of the student body by the Bookstore and Food Services concessions other and concessions. Let’s turn those excess profits into more Services and jobs for students. More money would be made available for more cultural activities, new jobs could be created and existing services expanded! Both the general student body as well as particular smaller groups could be served in their best interest and SA's most imaginative leadership. You got restraints, get rid of them, how, turn profits into more money for services and jobs, how, turn the concessions into student cooperatives, the excess money would cover all these new services and jobs. The only problem that 1 can foresee is that we may not get the right to decide for ourselves who should get these concessions. the and organizations, development of a set of guidelines for use in determining spending. In the past many organizations and clubs never had their books audited on any kind of regualr basis. When an audit finally was performed, sometimes organizations would be have and receipts elaborate could be worked out within SA fiscal constraints. The main problems was that the large-scale event did not provide the input of smaller particular groups. 1 would directly solicit input which I’m sure people would partake and SA gladly approve. The services now rendered by SA are profoundly large profitmakers. We should utilize this profit money to relieve checking and auditing the spot missing funds unaccounted for. If the clubs and organizations knew that their books could be checked at any time, I think it would keep people more aware of their financial accountability. 1 can not foresee any problems implementing a procedure such as this. At the present time there is no inventory of equipment belonging to the various organisations and clubs. If there were some system of inventory, we would help prevent the possibility of theft. When we reduce the possiblity of theft, we reduce the poSsiblity of having to replace equipment. I really can not foresee any ill the a student constituents are vast. As Treasurer of SA given the time frame in which to prepare and propose the budget, it most assuredly would have been passed before the last day of school, ensuring the greatest input from the student community in passing it. I feel that from fream March to mid May is amply time in which to pass the budget of SA. Failure to do so, I see as being either lack If a set of guidelines for spending were drafted, SA should be able to cut some needless expenditures. These would not specify exactly what James Killigrew Last the Finance spring, Committee could not agree on an SA budget and members of the Executive Committee stepped in, circumventing the treasurer to prepare what ultimately became this year's budget. What were the implications of this budget battle and how would you ensure a smoother budget process? The minor implication of this budget battle is that it could set a dangerous precendent. In the future," the SA Executive Committee might look to this and try to stall the budget in the Finance Committee. If the Executive Committee is successful in delaying the preparation-of the budget until the end of the spring semester, then they would have the constitutionally authority to approve,, the entire budget. This authority if abused could lead to rule of all aspects of SA by the Executive Committee. In regard to smoothing the process, the most budget Barry Colder Within the present fiscal of Student constraints the Director of Association, Student Activities and Services funds can and can not be spent on, but rather would be an outline for determining if an expenditure is appropriate. In some rare cases, however, an organization may want to make an expenditure which falls outside of the guidelines. If they then do not apply for funding on account of this, their effectiveness may be diminished. feel that I adoption of innovations such as these could insiue financial integrity in SA organizations and clubs. Director of Student Activities Carlos Benitez Within the present fiscal constraints of Student the Director of Association, Student Activities and Services must decide whether to on concentrate large-scale, elaborate events, like Fallfest, or plan smaller and much simpler programs aimed at particular groups. What path would you take and what kinds or programs wottl come out of your philosophies? Also, in addition to the record co-op, can you preceive any services that could be provided to students through the mechanism use for their projects. The prices are high and it is quite often difficult to find stores that carry exactly what the students want. Having a co-op selling these supplies would be advantageous, effects on account of this. Dana Cowan since important must to decide whether concentrate on large-scale, elaborate events, like Fallfest, or plan • smaller and much simpler programs aimed at particular groups. What path would you take and what kinds of programs would of, your come out philosophies? WJ w Despite the fiscal constraints within SA, it is not necessary to concentrate on just one type of event. I’m aware that it’s difficult to direct activities towards everyone, since people are into different things. There has to be some between compromise holding large scale events that to many people, and smaller events that focus on a appeal particular group. sacrifice for the other. one We can’t In addition to the record co-op, can you perceive any services that would be provided to students through the mechanism of the cooperative? Can you forsee any problems in starting a' cooperative on this campus? The record co-op is a great service for the students of this school, and if other co-ops were started, they would be widely used. For example, art, design, and architecture students share a number of common materials that throughout Ellicott. This co-op would need more space, and a central location within the dorm complex. By working with the administration, facilities could hopefully be provided. These are just two co-ops that come to my mind. The Student Activities and Services Task Force will always be open for new ideas dealing with co-ops, as well as any other services that may be desired. Director of Academic Affairs Diane Bade Besides through the Director of Academic Affairs position itself, how can students gain input and influence into academic decisions? What steps will you take to see that such input is gained? There are several methods 1 important consider towards increasing student input and influence into academic decisions. One of the first moves 1 would make is to initiate monthly open undergraduates forums where could address issues to Student Association officers. This would be a means of soliciting help from interested individuals, thus aiding me in my effort to be truly representative. I will openly seek critical thinkers to help evaluate Bunn’s proposed Academic Plan, and to work on academic committees. Also, students could help make a study of departmental committees to determine, whether or not adequately undergraduates are represented on those committees, and if not, why not? It is important to see that academic committees begin to address the Student Senate on a regular basis, just as they do the Senate. This will keep us Faculty informed of committees any and/or decisions in which students should have a voice. more Undergraduates need than token representation on Two important committees. undergraduates on the General Education committee is an insult, and I would use every means available as Director of Academic Affairs to improve that situation. SCATE should be published as soon and as often as possible, because students need to be evaluating teacher performance �I regularly. think the implementation of a program to evaluate teaching effectiveness will help instructors develop better teaching methods and styles. The office of the Director of Academic Affairs should work in conjunction with the faculty toward that end. What kinds of courses and programs whould be included in the developing General Education plan here and how do your suggestions fill the holes in the average student’s education? Seventy-seven percent of the faculty at this University feel that it is necessary to develop a General Education plan. This will require that all undergraduates meet certain criteria in several fields to qualify for a degree. This system of education is meant to help students become well-rounded before they graduate. If the plan is well thought out and and foresight is used, this can be a tremendous asset to undergraduate education. If not, the results could make college an advanced level of high school days. The reason that there are holes in the typical student’s education, here and now, is because requirements are very vague and loose. Rather than meeting distribution requirements for the three faculties, as is presently the further breakdown of those faculties should occui. For example, academics could be broken into eight areas of study, case, a and students could be required to take at least one course from six of the areas. Then, they could be required to continue beyond that introductory stage in say, four of the six chosen fields. This would mean that students would receive more than a smattering of knowledge, and would in fact, advance to intermediate and later a more focused degree of knowledge in several areas. Over the course of four years, this type nt program .pould help to give s tfWetfts' a more balanced education than is presently being achieved. It is preferable by far to a program that forces students to take specific cburses, and I would work very hard to be certain that students continue to maintain power over their individual course loads. stand as the concerted effort to organize and promulgate student interests. Mass demonstrations and mass campaigns are effective means of lobbying, but they are extremely difficult to mobilize and coordinate. Students must be informed and stay abreast of the issues. This is SASU is an established group, recognized by those in Albany as the organization representative of 350,000 students. In addition, SASU has the experience and the resources which are drawn upon students and legislators. It would be difficult for a newly formed unit to duplicate what SASU has already achieved.

SASU served as the mechanism to make students aware of the lobbying Association should support as the vehicle to unify SUNY students, or should some new organization be developed? In order for SASU to be effective, they must have the support of all the member schools. What is immediately apparent is that SASU because of its experience is beginning to push forward in its drive for respect in impropriety of the health fee. This additional charge was, in a covert fact, vehicle for increasing tuition. Letter writing campaigns and a health fee boycott, in conjunction with lobbying efforts on the part of SASU in Albany forced the University. I’m doing that. english wholly responsible for bringing I the matter to his attention in the first place. For the past year and a half, SASU has strongly lobbied in the legislature and the Governor’s office to show student outrage to this illegal fee.

SASU in its role as the student organization about what students need at this What kinds of courses and programs should be included in the developing General Education plan here and how do 1 your suggestions fill the holes in the average student's education? As far as general education goes, I see a conflict between what the administration claims to be doing and what they actually propose for the future. Despite the expressed need for general education. Dr. Bunn’s academic plan proposes to cut funds for several departments the in humanities and social sciences. His plan effectively cuts the “general” out of general education. We need to at least maintain these areas at their present level 6f funding to student to impact. the President’s Board for Tenure and Promotion. 1 have had a myriad of meetings with Dr. Bunn, Dean Peradotto, President Ketter, etc. concerning a broad range of topics from SCATE to study space on Main Street. The way towards influence, is to convincing each successfully protect tlie interests of their students separately. Furthermore, it would be fiscally infeasible for a single student association to establish their own lobbying Organization. A premise of SASU is to present a unified coalition of students; separately, SA’s could not have the same Springer implementation committee (concerning the 4 course load), the DUE Curriculum the Committee, President’s Review the Board, College Council. All of these meetings are open to the public and most of the committees need students to fill committee seats. The way to attack a monster is to get at its vital parts. The issue of input and is influence basically a motivational problem. It is easy to sit back and let things slide, but I’m not about to and you shouldn’t either. I have and will to fight continue for university-wide course and teacher evaluations. I have created the SA Awards Teaching to reward teachers for teaching, not for doing research. I presently sit on present for government involved with the General Education Committee, the versa. Besides through the Director of Academic Affairs position itself, how can students gain input and influence into academic decisions? What steps will you take to see that such input is gained? The second part of the first question should read; “What steps have I taken and will I continue to take to see that such input is gained?” It is through this revision that I will answer the question. The key to input and influence is organized advocacy. The organization is the Student Association and the advocates are those students, who we elect to represent us in SA. SA should hear the collective voice of the student body and act as the channel through which student opinions are voiced. SA officials impossible, mainly our own responsibility as individuals.

Marion Vosburgh, who teaches second and third grades in the Buffalo City School System, has been selected Teacher of.the Year by the State Education Department from a field of more than 50 nominees. The selection process started last April. The outspoken elementary school teacher, who will now go on to compete for the national title, will be formally honored by the Board of Regents on October 19, when the Regents will be meeting in Albany. Vosburgh said she intends to voice the concerns that she and her colleagues share about the current testing program when she addresses the Board at its October 19 meeting. “If the competency test were being used as a tool or aid for individual children, that would be one thing, but that’s not the way it’s being given now,” said the Teacher of the Year, In addition, the Pupil Evaluation Program (PEP) test given to third and sixth graders are also Make love A /■ BK* < foi during lovemaking Nearly every006 has experi- S ’> ' . if Deptula strong suggested student initiating awareness programs on campus, especially for the dormitory residents.

He noted that he has signed into law legislation that allows “juveniles accused of violent crimes to be tried in the adult court system and to be subject to stiffer penalties.” Carey also claimed responsibility for legislation- stiffening prison sentences for violent felony (Class E) offenders; requiring mandatory maximum life sentences for those convicted of certain felonies; restricting the use of plea bargaining; and strenthening the powers of the Board of Parole, “allowing it to hold inmates longer, based on the previous criminal record and nature of the crime,”t said Carey.

One politician can take credit for introducing the bill; another for voting for it in committee; still another may take credit for the bill by making a stirring speech in its favor on the floor of the assembly and naturally the governor takes credit if he happens to sign the bill.

Over ihe weekend, they competed against more than 40 other universities, including such standouts as Colgate and Syracuse. The two schools,- in fact, finished first and second, respectively, in the overall team finals. Colgate won it with 32 points, which included the doubles championship (Amy Lockwood and Jeanne Gengler). Syracuse ended with 26'/i, taking the doubles consolation event. Saint Lawrence, led by eighth seeded Michelle Langdon’s upset of first seeded Betsy Gottlieb (Syracuse) in singles, scored 24 points, good for third place. The Royals did not finish high in the team BINGHAMTON. N Y. - tennis team, as standings, nor did they upset any seeded players. Yet they earned 7Vi points (4Vi more than last year) and provided some excitement. April Zolczer thought they could have done better if not for the tournament’s “no ad” format, designed to speed up play in early singles and doubles, and consolation matches. “The 4-3 games, you could throw them up for grabs . they could go either way. It was like a sudden death; there was no place for an error," she said. Several players felt the different scoring favored the better schools, who had used it all year. . . Drew fourth seed Individually, none of Buffalo’s representatives got farther than the second round, in consolations, the doubles team of Kris Schum and Judy Wisniewski and first singles player Zolczer lost in the third round. Heidi Juhl went as far as the second round, and doubles pair Carol Waddell-Kaitee Jung lost on their first try. Zolczer did very well, especially after drawing the number four seed (Lenore Sikorski of Concordia) in the first round. Sikorski, who ended up as the consolation singles champion, quickly put Zolczer in the consolation round, winning 6-2, 6-0. Zolczer took three straight matches before being edged by another top player, tenth seeded Carolyn Schleicher (Skidmore)*. “She had a very good forehand, good attack," a saddened Zolczer said after an almost errorless match. She thus ended her illustrious career at the University of Buffalo honorably. One who is just starting is freshman Heidi Juhl; she split four matches, starting off by losing to Jodi Hill of Cornell. Once in the consolation event, Juhl breezed by Stony Brook and New Paltz. In the latter, Juhl found her perfect match in Terri Speisman, jpother player who despises net play, but also one who consistently tested her bakh'and. Adding to her problems, Juhl’s serve was below par, but she recovered in time to pull out a victory and bolster her confidence. Doubles does it again Early Sunday morning, though, she lacked the comeback power she’d had before. “I couldn't get it together at all. She used a lot of spin and was a very good player,” Juhl said of Pal Jordan (Wagner), who won easily, 6-0, 6-3. As might be expected, the first doubles team contributed the largest share of points, three in all. UB’s Kris Schum and Judy Wisniewski, two experienced seniors, were matched against Lauren Bernardi and Sue Conger of LeMoyne, who played together for the first time. Wisniewski talked about the game plan, “Our usual strategy is: 1 take the forehand and she (Schum) takes the backhand side. Today, 1 took the serve, hit it cross-court, and then set her up with the (opponent’s) lob, which was an . easy put away.”It worked against LeMbyne, but not against second round adversary St. John’s. One game away from losing the match, they shocked the UB pari with a barnstorming comeback, sweeping 11 games. “We just didn'J have it,” explained a demoralized Schum after losing the match. They seemed to have it in their next two matches, beating Stony Brook (6*3, 6-0), and Queens (6-4, 6-4). They lost a close three-setter to Wagner in the third round to end their weekend, and thus their careers with the Royals. Competing together for the first time, UB’s Carol Waddell College in the and Kaitee Jung surprised Wells first round, 6-4, 6-4. Then, after a 10-hour intermission, they came up against first seeded Colgate, and were literally blown out, 6-0, 6-1. Lockwood-Gengler are the epitome of a doubles team; talented in every facet, they gear together perfectly on the court, overpowering their opponents with ease. It was then a strange sight indeed to watch Buffalo State’s only representatives, Anne Waddell and Cathy LaPenna, giving Colgate a tough time in their very first match. After losing that one 1-6, 2-6, Waddell-LaPenna put dh a brilliant display of consistency, using hard forehands and accurate serves to win five consecutive matches in consolation doubles, before finally bowing out to Colgate’s second doubles pair in the quarter finals. sports Hard-luck Bulls tie Bonaventure in 2 OTs ’ ‘ OLEAN, NEW YORK: Last Friday afternoon the UB Soccer team hooked up with the St. Bonaventure Brown Indians in what will be remembered as “another one of those games” for the Bulls. The team rode into St. Bonnies’ town pumped up and psyched to play ball. The team had the desire to finally get on the "right track”. In pregame warmups, senior co-captain George Daddario reminded the team “We’re better than our record shows, we’ve just got to prove it." True to form, Buffalo outshot, outsaved, and outplayed the Brown Indians in a double-overtime game, but just couldn't put it away, and ended up tying St. Bonaventure, 0-0. “What happened today has happened the last four games . . but we haven’t been able to get the finishing goal," commented junior forward Luis Azcue. From start to finish, the Bulls demonstrated some superior passing techniques. Midfielders Barry Kleeman and Dave Gauss worked out give and go feeds to-forward Ramsey Quartey. Quartey led the Bulls in outshooting the Brown Indians 27-9, Kleeman, the other UB co-captain, particularly noted Gauss’ display. “He hasn’t gotten credit he deserves, he’s improved his play from the beginning of the year and has helped the team a lot,” he Said. . Daddario threatens While Buffalo held onto the ball, St. Bonaventure played impatiently, going for the long kick-whenever they could get a chance. Any scoring threats that UB made were from center fullback George Daddario. Daddario made sure that UB goalie Mike Preston didn’t get too much to handle, and that his forwards did. Buffalo coach Sal Esposito was discouraged by the fact that his team played well the whole game but couldn’t put it away. “Maybe they want it too bad,” said Esposito, “This isn’t the first time something like this has happened to us.” But the discouragement passed away on the bus ride home, as Esposito and the 3-7-1 Bulls began looking forward to today's game against Oneonta. • - Fred Salloum Big Four co-champs The Soccer Bulls face tough competitor today The powerful soccer Red Dragons of Oneonta, eighth ranked in New York State, invade Rotary Field today for a battle with the Bulls. The Red Dragons formerly were ranked first in the state, coming off last year’s 11-1-1 record. This year, however, has been a tough season for Oneonta. The Red Dragons have been hurt by the graduation of three key players, including captain Chris Collins from Rochester, who was drafted by the North American Soccer League’s Dallas Tornados. Oneonta’s last game was a tough 2-1 overtime loss to second ranked St. Francis (Brooklyn). The Bulls, coming off Saturday's 0-0 tie witkSt. Bonaventure, are now 3-7-1. Junior midfielder Ramsey Quartey currently leads the Buffalo scoring attack. Other dangerous UB scorers are Luis Azcue and Mike Brotherton. Big Four co-champs Senior Barry Kleeman has been a steadying influence of the defense, and senior transfer Jim (Pooh) Papoulis has played welt"at halfback. Key injuries have forced senior captain George Daddario to play several positions. Rounding out the UB starting line-up are Ed Sorkin, freshman Steve Cate, and Alan Derner. According to Quartey, Coach Sal Esposito favors easygoing junior Mike (Billy) Preston over temperamental Mark Celeste in goal. The Bulls have had a disappointing season, but a win over a team like Oneonta could help salvage the season. The Bulls, despite their poor record, became co-chan>pions of the Big Four last week. UB, with victories over Buff State and Canisius, and a loss to Niagara, finished 2-1 in the Big Four race. UB shared the honors with Buff State (also 2-1), and finished ahead of Niagara and Canisius (both 1-2). Esposito expects a tough game today. “We’ll have our work cut for us,” he said. “Oneonta is a very tough team. They’re in good physical shape for the game and we’ll just have to go out and do the best we possibly can to beajjhem.” Sophomore Luke Dimaggio i£ among those fired up for the Red Dragons. “We’re out for revenge," he said. “They humiliated us 9-0 last year. They’re always a strong team and a win over them would make out the season worthwhile.” Bruce Collop Tourney Campus level qualifying tournaments to determine the UB champions in two events: foosbali and billiards, are currently being conducted. The UB campus winners will participate in the Region II tournament February 8-10, 1979 at Cornell University with champions from 40 other schools around the country. Foosbali players have a chance to win the intercollegiate championship in Reno, Nevada (April 6-8): billiard champs will compete in the finals at the University of Michigan (April 5-7).

But after two dismal games against Syracuse they turned in a creditable third game performance, despite losing the game and the match. The Royals fared slightly better Saturday at the Brock University Tournament. They defeated the hosts two games to one, but lost to a strong club team from Windsor (made up mostly of post-collegiate players) and to Queen’s University. Buffalo, now 2-4 in non-tournament play and 5-15 overall, will try to win their fourth consecutive Big Four Championship tonight at Canisius’ Koessler Athletic Center, starting at 5 p.m. The Royals have never had much trouble with their Big Four opponents, and coach Peter Weinreich feels confident that his team is playing well enough to win. No movement If the Royals play like they did in the first two games against however, they might as well not show up for the Big Four. “We lost it by ourselves,” said Buffalo co-captain Sue Trabert, referring to the first game against Syracuse. “We didn’t have any movement. It was like we were planted.” The Orangewomen scored 14 straight points to win the first game 15-1. Buffalo tied the second game at 5-5, but got only one more point the jest of the way. Weinreich explained that he was experimenting with a new lineup in the first two games, in which Trabert had a different position than usual. The coach scrapped that lineup for the third game and his tactic paid off as Buffalo made the Orangewomen struggle for a 19-17 victory. The Royals took a 10-3 lead as Trabert served three balls that were not returned and contributed two spikes. But then the Royals forgot how to serve and Syracuse came roaring back. Syracuse, Lost on serves First, a serve by Buffalo’s Debbie Bateman went under the net and Syracuse followed with a couple of points. Dana Chadwick’s serve landed out of bounds, but the Orange couldn’t score. Wanda Mesmer’s serve went into the net and Syracuse scored a few more. Akemi Tsuji’s serve hit the net, and when Buffalo next got the serve, Syracuse led by 13-11. “We missed two or three serves the whole match. They gave us the last game on serves,” noted Syracuse coach Elaine Goldband. Still, Buffalo managed to tie the game at 15-15, and then take the lead 17-16, but Syracuse’s Carolyn Smith served for three points to win. Although Syracuse has four players on scholarship (compared to none for Buffalo), and a reputation for athletic excellence which also helps attract the top athletes, Buffalo was not making any excuses for the loss. Weinreich felt that it was to Buffalo’s advantage to play a high caliber team and that he would rather face a team like Syracuse. Trabert noted that the Royals tend to play better against better teams, and not as well against the poorer teams. —•Hear 0 Israel— For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 CLOG SUM* When rwr ntMl a frt*n4. 719 Elmwood Avenue Buffalo, New York 8867326 <<2\ Organizational Meeting Wednesday, Oct. 25th at 5 pm 10 Capen Hall, Amherst Campus Students with advanced first aid or EAAT Training are still needed Anyone Interested In helping must Mon - Football Coach Mason 'Had to justify football' 'Coaching is more nerve-racking' meeting Frl. 9 am — 4:30 pm today Comparing past and present: former player turned coach by David Davidson Assistant Sports Editor Every afternoon Denny Mason bolts over from his teaching job in Cheektowaga to his part-time job at UB. Ten years ago, Mason bolted off tackles when his receivers were covered. Back in 1965, Mason was the quarterback of Bishop Fallon High in Buffalo. After deciding to attend UB, he appeared on the practice field on his first day as a freshman. Facing the drawback of not being a recruited ballplayer, Mason worked his way onto the freshman team, and by his senior year, moved up to the number one spot at quarterback. “Our freshman team was 1-4 that year. Our basic role was to prepare the varsity club by running the opponents’ plays in practice,” he memembers, “then on Friday, before the game, we’d work on our plays.” Today, the Bulls don’t have a freshman team. It’s factors like that which make Mason’s influence on ballplayers a tough challenge. “We have less chance of meeting as a group now,” he states. “In Division I we had meetings, we’d spend 45 minutes at a time looking at films in post-game meetings. The coaches were full time, they had all day to prepare." Yesterday, today Mason’s heydays Division I program were at at UB, the peak of the Players received scholarships and were secure in theirrole as football players. Now of course, the Bulls must compete under Division III rules. Of course, the major restriction is that scholarships are not handed out. In spite of that, Mason feels today’s players are as good and maybe better. “They’re bigger, stronger and faster. They’ve really been able to profit from weight training programs in high school.” Still, Denny realizes a kid without a scholarship will quit easier. “A lot of players want to be an instant success. We need 66 people on this team.” Mason never quit. As a sophomore he played the bench, and helped the team. With a philosophy that he wanted every player to have, Denny helped out starting QB Mick Murtha from the sidelines but most of all prepared himself in the event that he was needed. “I want guys to be patient, 1 guess that’s where it comes from,” he noted. Mason was calling football signals at a time when students at this University were calling for the eviction of the National Guard. “We had to justify football to various groups on campus. At other schools this size, football was traditional,” says Mason recalling the differences between UB and UCLA, perhaps. But as a student he took an interest. "You had to take a side, 1 didn’t protest at the time, but you couldn’t help be involved.” Pins and needles As a senior, Mason led the Bulls to a 7-3 record. Today the former quarterback along with Bill Dando and two other assistants call the plays from the sidelines. In comparison to playing, he said that coaching is more nerve racking than playing. “You’re up in the press box on pins and needles. Is that play right, what will we run next, what will he do. As a player you were only nervous until the game started.” Denny graduated the University in 1969, and except for a fling in the JFK Touch Football League, pretty much moved away from playing competitive tackle ball. Mason later completed his graduate work at Buffalo State, adding a Masters Degree in Exceptional Education to his UB diploma. Eight years after his graduation, football returned to UB. “I knew once they got football back, I wanted it,” acknowledges Mason, in reverence to his present position. -Hi UB Come Visit The Brownbeny Na Bread “ FIRST AID SQUAD attend this Football star Danny Mason ” Thrift Store 959 Englewood Ave. across from Elwood Firehouse 873-4277 — ALL BREAD BAKED WITH NATURAL INGREDIENTS CONTAINS NO ARTIFICAL PRESERVATIVES We Accept Food Stamps Every Tuesday Is SUPER DISCOUNT 10% Off total purchase Hours 9 6 Daily BROWNBERRY 0 If you cannot attend call SA THRIFT STORE 7 Dz. only $159 Friday Till 8 pm Closed Sunday • o Penn Dutch Cookies Homebaked Flavor rm | ■ ...

After several attempts and failures using conventional methods, she and about a dozen others went into the bank at noon, normally its busiest time, stationed themselves before all the tellers, and asked for two dollars in pennies. As they ever so slowly counted the coins given them, occasionally dropping them or losing count thus having to start all over, the lines in the bank grew increasingly longer and more restless. Pratner was quickly led to the bank president’s office. Get our share The first organized citizen action against banks guilty of mortgage redlining in Buffalo history will be held October 30, This date was ironically chosen to coincide with “Beggar’s day”. Although any positive action by Western Savings Bank regarding are having to accomodate, those programs — can provide. - numbers of students that some programs — that although 1 talk about quality as well as qutity, 1 seem to be driven solely to quantity. I have a hard time with that one because i’m not willing to accept any theory or analysis that separates the two and I have no way, some finally, with type of magic calculation that tells me the weight that I should assign to each. 1 do know, I hope, that we try to judge the base of support we drawing maintained? Bunn Well, I don’t guess I would concede that the credibility has not been maintained. You see there’s very little effort in that plan to identify, program by program, all the strengths and weaknesses of each unit, as well as the apparent student enrollment and demand in the next several years, and draw tight conclusions. The plan does try to provide a skeleton, a framework, within which we think these questions can be raised and be addressed. I’m looking particularly to the deans to begin to make these judgements and bring to our attention, at our level, the as they conclusions they would draw apply these criteria in any given period of as to what their priorities are. time -continued a difficult time sharing the as you say some may be I do know this: that we have a number programs on campus, which are will be doomed forever. The English department had a much higher student/faculty ratio in ’74 than they currently have. Now, were they less strong in 1974 than they are now; or are they more strong? 1 don’t know which is true. I don’t think English is frying to say that they must have £n 11 or 12 to one FTE student/faculty ratio. What they are saying is that, as they look around, they don’t see which persons they can give up without losing quality in the program. I’m saying that, over time, we are not in a position to afford programs with that low a rgtio of students to faculty. Over time, we must make plans now to bring about a better relationship between the resources they have and the resources we’re going to have available.

Some future actions planned by NYPIRG include organizing community action groups against mortgage redlining on thy West side in January and organizing people to fight insurance redlining. The meeting ended with a song about redlining set to the tune of “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” Called “Where Has All the Money Gone?”. The closing stanza expressed the hope and determination of the area residents to improve their neighborhoods and their city. “What is left for us to do, to save our neighborhoods?/Is there hope for me and you, and our city too?/To the bankers we shall go,/And tell them ‘Invest in Buffalo./Then we will get our share, then we will get our share.” L-t The Academic Affairs Task Force will meet Thursday, Oct. 26th at 4 pm in room 332 of Squire Hall I urge all academic club ANNOUNCING representatives to attend. \ Any time conflicts oragenda items The 1978 79 Student Association Excellence in Teaching Awards - A search is now underway for those faculty members who deserve special praise and distinction for their ability to impart knowledge and wisdom to students.

A young couple finds the house they have been seeking for a long time. It’s an older home in an even older neighborhood and it needs some repair, but the price is right. The couple has a good credit rating, so they should have no problem getting a mortgage. The banks, however, turn them down. The couple has become another victim of redlining. According to Lawrence Farber, one of the authors of a New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) report on redlining in Buffalo, once banks redline an area, that area adopts a “second-class label.” Insurance Companies then become reluctant to grant home insurance in the neighborhood. Unscrupulous real estate agents have been known to spread rumors that a neighborhood is deteriorating and that property values are falling. This prompts many white residents to flee to the suburbs. Small businesses leave, fearing a shrunken market. In the final stages of deterioration, municipal services such as sanitation and fire protection often decrease, and the neighborhood sinks lower and lower. The prophecy of-the bank has been fulfilled. Many city officials agree that redlining is a problem in Buffalo. “Everybody knows it’s going on, but it’s the banks that won’t do anything about it," complained University District Councilman Eugene Fahey. He declared that the Common Council has gone on record as opposing redlining. Masten District Councilman David Collins concurs, noting that while almost all of the main branches of local banks are concentrated —continued on page 14— Math Dept, bulging at seams; causes: faculty loss, enrollment by Kathleen McDonough Spectrum Staff Writer of Department The Mathematics is grappling with a 32 percent increase in freshman this The year. enrollment additional students, 879 aggravated by the loss of ten faculty lines over the past few years, has caused overcrowded recitations and strained tensions in the department, according to of the Acting Chairman Department of Mathematics John Duskin. teaching experience under less than optimal conditions, Duskin departments which require the Math suggested. troubles.

The junk from this scrap pile is fed into a machine and recycled, while we throw people away without any conscience.” These poignant words were spoken by Maggie Kuhn, the "wrinkled radical,” to a receptive audience in the Katharine Cornell Theatre last Thursday afternoon. The 73 year-old* woman is the founder of the Gray Panthers, a nationwide coalition of people of all ages working together for social change. Kuhn, a vision of life and vitality, began her presentation with an introduction of the sociological term “gerentophobia” a fear of old people and a fear of getting old. “It is a disease that has reached enormous size,” she informed. “We must take steps to immunize ourselves against this disease.” — No naps The social activist views life as a continuum. “Life begins with your birth and ends with rigor mortis,” said Kuhn. "Aging begins at the moment of birth. It is a and continuing process development that we share with each other, animals, and plants,” she stated. Kuhn mocked the stereotypical definition of old age that advocates taking naps, trips and and playing, firmly recommended reconstruction of ! odr society. Kuhn out the pointed importantce of changing those areas in society which have .contributed to the negative attitude toward the aging process. She Cited the term “sociological imagination,” created by author C. Wright 'Mills. “The concept of sociological imagination,” she explained, “constitute* the kind of understanding of our human condition that puts together individual history with the history of our society.” Old people have a contribution to make to society because they have a sense of history, she illustrated. Pull together After asking how many members of the audience remembered the Great Depression of the 1930’s, the great show of hands led her to reflect, “Older Americans remember the past and we might need their experience for the hungry ’80’s and ’90’s.” Ironically, these older Americans do not want to donate their valuable ideas, Kuhn remarked. ‘The average American thinks in private terms and asks ‘What is in it for me?’ This kind of privatism, Mills argues, is C. Wright ultimately doing us in,” stated Kuhn. “We can’t survive alone. We need to join in a community, construct a network of old people,” she continued. The Gray Panther analysis of society focuses on the university as a tool for major social change, Kuhn stated. “Parts of our society are sick and stink because they’re dead and not buried,” she said; “Some nee<). to be healed, and a healthy place is the university, a place where people can come together as learners, change agents and healers of a sick society.” It is for this reason that Kuhn gives priority to college campus speaking engagements. —Buchanan The Wrinkled Radical Maggie Kuhn 'Life it to be lived to the hilt An area that she soon hopes to developed is cooperative housing. Huhn’s own household in Philadelphia is based on the foundation of sharing space with the young and living in a cooperative setting without competition. Kuhn spoke of her three housemates, ranging from see 25 to 35 years old, as individuals with whom she shares a reciprocal relationship “They come down and say, ‘Mag, encourage us.’ Well, 1 give them hope and they give me strength.” Also in desperate need of change, according to Kuhn, is the entire work process. “We need to - work,” she stated, “Most of the people working today hate the jobs they do.” This sentiment stems from hazardous work environments and which competition, fierce combine to destroy an individual’s spirit, Kuhn explained. restructure —continued on page FOR ALL JEWISH STUDENTS The Joy of The Torah on SIMCHAS TORAH TODAY Monday Oct. 23 at 7:45 pm dance like no one's business GO BANANAS!!!

Sundt Pacific Me ai Service A small transport ship, soon to be laden with spent nuclear fuel rods from Japanese electric utilities, has charted the first trouble-free passage through the loopholes of the U.S. Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act. The ship, say critics, has left in' its wake a significantly weakened some say empty U.S. commitment to curb the dangers of a worldwide plutonium economy? The Pacific Fisher, the first of a generation of vessels designed to transport irradiated nuclear fuels for reprocessing, is preparing to sail from Japan to the United Kingdom and France, where the Japanese fuel will be reprocessed. However, because the fuel was first enriched for the Japanese by the United States, its use and transfer is subject to strict U.S. controls as spelled out in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act. The current agreement between the Japanese and the United Kingdom and France is the first time the United States has had an opportunity to exercise these controls. To the chagrin of environmentalists and some administration and congressional insiders, the government has bowed to Japanese pressure and chosen to allow the reprocessing deal to go through, a move certain to enhance the growing plutonium economy that President Carter has — — fought to inhibit. The U.S. law was intended to give the president almost total control over the use and transfer of spent nuclear fuel that when reprocessed can yeild bomb-grade plutonium. Passage of the controls was enthusiastically supported by the administration which has pressed other industrialized countries to halt the spread of plutonium until other energy sources can be investigated. Control over fuel But the Japanese, who are committed Carter’s efforts, entered a S2 billion contract French to have their spent fuel reprocessed only hurdle to the deal was the U.S. law and for approval of such a transfer; to reprocessing despite with the British and the in those countries. The adminstration guidelines Japanese Contract actually involved three separate fuel required separate approval by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The first request was last March, just one day before the Non-Proliferation Act became law. The was thus not required to abide by the act’s requirements. The first request also met the central U.S. condition for such transfers at the time that transfers for reprocessing would be approved only if the utility making the request had no remaining storage space for the The — spent fuels. However, the second and third requests were subject to the new restrictions spelled out in the law. In addition, these requests did not involve any lack of storage capacity in Japan. The DOE found itself faced with several seemingly irreconcilable requirements. While refusal of the requests might have avoided potential risks of further nuclear proliferation, a denial would also discourage Japan and other countries from purchasing U.S. enrichment services in the future. If that happened, the United States would lose a corresponding degree of control over the worldwide use of nuclear fuel. Also, a decline in U.S. enrichment services to foreign customers would reduce what currently is a sizable contribution to this country's net export earnings. These adverse consequences and the more immediate political problems with Japan that would result in a denial apparently swung the favor of granting the requests. - — Demand increase The consequences of the action, however, still are being hotly debated in the administration and on Capitol Hill. Some critics argue that since the French and British profits from the Japanese fuel reprocessing will be spent to build new and larger reprocessing facilities in those countries, the demand for their services will increase ' proportionately. In addition, since the Japanese fuel will eventually be reprocessed in teh new, unfinished facilities, there is no way for the United in the new, unfinished facilities, there is no way for the United of the law cannot be tested against plants and processes that are not yet built. The U.S. acquiescence has also called into question the entire policy of subsidizing nuclear fuel enrichment for foreign countries. The low-cost nature of the U.S. enrichment program is designed to insure U.S. control over the fuel. But in the first test over exercising those controls, the administration essentially backed down to political pressure from Japan and the knowledge that foreign customers could turn to other countries supplying more costly enrichment but with . by Denise Stumpo » fewer strings attached. The Japanese already are developing a large domestic enrichment capacity of their own, in addition to turning to European countries for control-free enrichment services. Thus, if the history of the Pacific Fisher’s maiden voyage is an indication of the effectiveness of current U.S. nuclear proliferation policies, it appears unlikely that those policies will have any significant influence on the world’s emerging plutonium economy.

The bill, - co-sponsored by Assemblymen Hoyt and Barclay, passed the state Assembly this summer and is now awaiting Senate approval. Rocky did it A $1 million Department of Energy (DOE) study on the West mandated by Valley fiasco Congress in 1977 as a result of public pressure will be released publicly November 24. The study, overdue since this past August, will recommend what exactly is to be done with the site, and who — — should do it. Meanwhile, several alarmed and concerned Erie County politicians have arranged a public hearing with night tomorrow representatives from DOE, the state Energy Office, Public Safety Commission and others, featuring a slide presentation and review of the site’s sordid history by a member of the Coalition on West Valley Nuclear Wastes. It all began in 1962 when Governor Nelson Rockefeller proposed the creation of the and Research Atomic Development Authority (ARDA) the actively promote to development of nuclear power by private industry. ARDA bought a 3300-acre site at West Valley, about 35 miles southeast of Buffalo, and leased it to Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc. (NFS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Getty Oil Company. The purpose was to build the world’s first nuclear reprocessing plant, one that would recover the unused portion of fissionable uranium and plutonium from already “spent” reactor fuel rods for the — hold the ultimate responsibility for the public’s protection from exposure.

At approximately 1 a.m., occupants of Dewey Hall were abruptly awakened by a fire alarm in the 306 lounge. Senior Resident Advisor Deborah Bland went down to the fire alarm indicators in the Dewey lobby to determine the origin of the fire. The indicators showed that the fire was located on the second floor of Dewey, but there was no fire on that floor or on any other at the time. University Police later said the alarm was probably a malfunction. Later, officers maintained that student’s cooking in the rooms could have started the alarm, but that this was not necessarily the cause. Fire discovered During the first alarm, pajama-clad residents of the third floor formed a small crowd in the 306 and 307 lounges. After the first alarm was deactivated, a few of the people in the lounge ventured to say that the fire was an electrical malfunction. However, a tew moments after the alarm went off, they smelled smoke. Soon, smoke was visible, and it was discovered that there was a fire in room 306B. Chuck Cavallaro, an occupant of the room and also a volunteer fireman, rapidly grabbed an extinguisher and drowned the fire, which started in a stereo set belonging to his roommate Marc Harris. University Police, then on the second floor, ran up to the third floor as soon as Bland informed them that there really was a fire. The extent of the damage was apparently restricted to the stereo set, one bed and various personal articles. Both Cavallaro and Harris expressed disbelief at the unusual circumstances surrounding the fire, Harris had fallen asleep, with the stereo set only a few inches from his head. He remarked, “If I had stayed there (in his room) forget it man, that would have been it.” Cavallaro, commenting on the “It was a miracle. If we size of the fire simply hadn’t come out because of the false alarm . .it was - . a miracle.” *Simple Gifts’ tries to pick up the broken pieces of battered lives by llyse Heinig Staff Writer — - - —Smith NO SOUND: This it what's left of a stereo belonging to Marc Harris after a fire of undetermined origin broke out in the set Friday morning.

Recently, Congress urged the development of shelters for battered women; Buffalo’s Simple Gifts is one of these. - “Simple Gifts” grew out of a sense of commitment and beliefs, stated Coordinator Inis Greenbaum. “It started out with volunteers who believed a place to which women could run was needed, they didn’t wait for an organization to start, they saw a need and responded to it,” she said. Self-help . Started by an all volunteer staff in 1976, Simple Gifts is a shelter and comprehensive service which provides housing, food, counseling, and child care to battered women and their children. In addition, the shelter offers an advisory service to help women with court proceedings. Although the shelter does not have facilities fordirect medical counselors accompany women to hospitals and doctor’s offices. The goal of Simple Gifts is to make women self sufficient. The shelter is run as a self-help community, instead of as an institution. Women collectively take care of cleaning, cooking, services, injured and child care. crisis counseling is provided when the shelter is full, or when women are unable or unwilling to come in. Women are informed about options and places to go and are reminded that they do not have to tolerate being beaten. Simple Gifts will pot leave any woman stranded if she needs Phone help.

Women are protected from any immediate danger from the husband or lover, and are taught how to protect themselves. Counseling After an adjustment period of a few days, women are given one-to-one primary counseling three times a week, encouraging them to understand what they are faced with. In addition, they are urged to take group sessions at the West Side Counseling Center. While the shelter deals with battered women as individuals, offspring are also dealt with. Children are often witnesses and victims of beatings, Kaiser added. Play therapy and counseling is offered, as services. Coordinator Jeanne Kaiser said, “Simple Gifts is not a vacation paradise from husbands. We start a woman on a positive beginning.” The philosophy that women can take responsibility for their own lives and that they do not have to remain victims is stressed. Simple Gifts does not let the husband or lover know where the woman is staying or allow him to, said. The counselors discourage reconciliation while encouraging the woman to fight for her rights the right not to be beaten, the right to her own property and her well as child care Funding is tight for Simple the organization began in September 1976, it was entirely volunteer.

The election, set for October 25,26 and 27, following former SA President Richard Mott’s call for general elections and resignation due to what he termed internal conflict in the organization.” The rules and regulations of the campaign were presented at the meeting by SA Director of Election and Credentials David Wilson. A wide array of topics were covered ranging from spending limitations for posters and handbills stressing that the spending quota will be checked as campaign audits are submitted to Election and Credentials at the end of this week. Following the meeting, two political parties emerged. One is Epic, led by Turner Robinson, President of Black Student Union (BSU). Running with Robinson will be Dana Cowan for Treasurer’s position and Ed Guity for Vice President of Sub Board I. Guity, who was mistakenly called a political unknown in The Spectrum Friday, is a former SA Minority Affairs Coordinator, IRC Minority Affairs Coordinator, SA Senator, and SASU Third World Caucus Member. Robinson said Friday he was attempting to add Carlo Benitez to his ticket for Director of Student Activities. Acting SA President Karl Schwartz has assembled a full I 01 H Seventeen campaigning “ Sheer Joel Mayenohn, Advocate Party Turner Robinson, Epic Party Candidate for Executive Vice President Candidate for Executive Vice President slate of candidates under the party name Advocate that includes: Joel Mayersohn for Executive Vice President, Jane Baum, for Vice President for Sub Board I, Jim Killigrew for Treasurer, Scott Jiusto for Director of Student Affairs, and Diane Hade for Director of Academic Affairs. Wilson discussed the subject of endorsements pointing out that The Spectrum is not the only organization allowed to endorse candidates this year. Two forums will be held to acquaint students with the candidates the first of which is today in Squire Hall’s Haas Lounge from 3-5 p.m. The other forum will be Tuesday from 8-10 p.m. in Porter Lounge in the Ellicott Complex. Candidates will give a brief presentation outlining their views and students will have the opportunity to pose questions to the prospective officers. Among the rules highlighted, was that candidates are prohibited from destroying or defacing their opponents campaign materials.

The SA Executive Committee passed a resolution last Monday pledging to challenge Mott’s right to call elections, which are scheduled for Wednesday through Friday. SA Treasurer Fred Wawrzonek filed the Committee’s brief with the Student Wide Judiciary challenging Mott’s move but withdrew it on the advice of counsel, according to SWJ Chief Justice Michelle Seidner. She said a revised brief will be submitted sometime today to the court. 1.

Irreparable harm Still uncertain is what effect a ruling by SWJ may have on the scheduled elections. Seidner declined to speculate on the possibility that anyone elected in this week’s race would have to forfeit the office if the elections were ruled unconstitutional. An initial attempt to halt the elections failed last Monday when SWJ denied a request for a temporary restraining order sought by four members of the SA Executive Committee. SA Director of Student The petitioners Affairs Lori Pasternak, Director of Academic Affairs Sheldon Gopstein, Director of Student Activities and were Services Barry Rubin and Wawrzonek required to show that irreparable harm would come to them or to the student body for the restraining order to be granted. The restraining order, which was unanimously denied, did not show that irreparable harm would be done, said Seidner. Associate Justices Paula Katz and Jay Flatow also ruled on that request. - - 3.

King spoke in the theme “Things you ought to know and things you ought to see". King, father of the late civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., reminded the church of the times before the civil rights movement of the 60’s, when black people traveling on interstate highways were unable to use public bathrooms at service stations because “they were for white persons only”. The elderly King said that his son was committed to his beliefs in human equality and his famous “dream” for a better world. But King added that his ton could not have led those many marches and demonstrations if be had not also been committed to God. A Baptist minister for 62 years. King said that he does not understand why he has been left on this Earth so long. He spoke of his wife, who was shot to death while sitting in a Baptist church two years ago. King’s eldest son, A.D. (“Adie”) King, was found drowned in a swimming pool last year. “Faith has brought me safe this far and faith shall lead me home,” he maintained. “Check to see how many children are attending college with the financial assistance of God loving people,” King advised, “Because many of them would not be there if it were not for struggling leaders.” “Many of you here look pretty. I just hope all of you are registered to vote,” King remarked. He urged his audience to elect officials who are sensitive to the needs of the poor. “Black people should not split their ballots,” King added, “because we don’t have enough to split.” ~ SENATE MEETING Monday October 23 at 4:00 , Talbert Senate Chamber will provide the business sector, businesses, with education, research needed and technical management, assistance, by utilizing University resources, he said. Hopefully, the Center will aid in the growth of new and existing business through counseling on sales and marketing, manufacturing developments and personnel administration. A Technical Information and Technology Utilization Center may be another sub-unit. This technology transfer service would accumulate a pool of information to answer questions ranging from production problems to pollution control. particularly small The newly developed Regional Center Economic Assistance (REAC) is one example of the University and the community working together and it has rapidly become a success. As a community outreach unit, under the auspicies.of the School of Management, RE AC’s purpose is to provide services to local industry and government. It is also intended to act as a referral service, matching the needs of a business, or group of businesses, to the proper resources in the University or community. REAC became operational in May of this year, and received official funding as of September 1, 1978. According to Executive Director of REAC Thomas Gutteridge, “The idea (of REAC) has been talked about for a a number of years. It’s of kinds o centralizing the services provided in years past.” student Gutteridge cited internships and research by isolated faculty members as examples of past services. - Government evaluation A REAC project presently underway is an assessment of Erie County Government. Gutteridge described the three part assessment, beginning with a study of the “service provision level” relating County services and its costs. The second part involves the development of an efficiency model for selected units of government. The third part, being done with the University Law School, is an analysis of County services’ legal mandates.

In this way, REAC functions as a referral service. Gutteridge explained Dying out Associate Professor in the School of Management, Arun Jain, was contacted about a research study last February by Lovejoy District Councilman Norman Bakos. Although Jain’s project began before REAC came into existence, it is a prime example of the type of project with which REAC is involved. Jain, with a $22,000 grant from the City of Buffalo, is preparing a market survey for the Lovejoy Council District. The object of this study, to be released in November, is tcv ascertain the needs, specific shopping preferences and buying behavior of area residents. “Neighborhoods in this city are dying out,’’ explained Jain, “and when the neighborhoods die out the city dies out.” Jain city that when explained businesses cannot get enough customers (for example, from suburban competition) they lose money, people get laid off, real estate values go down, blight increases, crime increases, urban flight increases, and the city degenerates. “It’s like a cancer that eats away at the city from the inside out,” Jain said. He suggested that if business is stepped up, the urban “domino effect” can be reversed. — What customers want As part of the study, Jain developer! a conceptual model to find out why people patronize retail stores.

Intra-campus telephones were available at various sites in Ellicott Complex several years ago until the costs of replacing destroyed equipment became prohibitive. “When they were available,” explained Director of University Housing Madison Boyce, “they were vandalized so many times it was no longer feasible to replace them.” Installation and maintenance of these phones was funded through the Custodial Services budget. According to Custodial Director Richard Cndeck, it became economically impossible to keep the phones on the walls. “We’d like to have them,” he said, “but they cost enough to buy, let alone continually replace.” extremely busy areas are safe from abuse. The phones in the lobbies of the Main Street dorms, and the constantly used phone in have Hall, Squire remained hooked-up. The phone at the information desk at Capen Hall is removed during unsupervised hours. Ironically the phones with the greatest chance of survival are those available primarily for convenience. Phones placed in deserted areas are more prone to vandals and stand little chance of long term survival according to a spokesman for University Police. University •si H rr Fargo residents left powerless Intra-campus phones will not be re-installed Spectrum I Transformer blows A blown transformer that may take more than a week to replace left the Fargo Quadrangle in the Ellicott Complex without power Sunday. Workers were attempting to hook up a special line from Porter Quad’s generator to restore power by Sunday evening. An emergency generator lit the Fargo corridors and kept the Fire Alarm system operations “It’s going to be off a long time,” warned Fargo Head Resident Wanda Miller. University police estimates ranged up to two weeks to replace the transformer, located in a special room off the Fargo loading dock in the Ellicott Service Tunnel. University police promised stepped up patrols for Sunday evening as Fargo residents prepared for a powerless existence. According to Mark Goergen, assistant manager of the Ellicottessen, tire transformer cooling system, which runs on oil, malfunctioned. Goergen said he spoke to repairmen on the scene who were cleaning up the spilled oil to enable work to begin. The power went off at 12:04 Sunday afternoon. The Quad’s heating system went witit as well as hot water tanks. Fortunately, Sunday’s afternoon temperatures reached in the upper 60’s and the prospects were for a warm, if lightless, evening. As far as anyone in authority knew Sunday afternoon, each of Ellicott’s six quads has its own transformer. Hence, there did not appear to be an immediate danger for residents of the five quads with power. University police said a new transformer had been ordered was Housing consulted several years ago by Custodial Services to examine the difficulties that would arise if the phones were removed and not replaced, said Boyce. At that time. Housing suggested that Custodial Services experiment with removal and then attempt to which was gauge the reaction virtually non-existent. “I don’t see that there is a great need for them,” said Boyce. - To reduce deficits County fiscal policy changes, cuts funds to UB Med School the appropriation is not known, Pannill informed that the In case of emergency, dial supplemental budget will be in “Better communication effect for the current fiscal year A reversal in County fiscal equipment in the dorms would be until March 31, 1979.

Although March is a long six months away, strange circumstances have forced an | election in October and left us with identical pressures and responsibilities. « 2 external > * No one would deny a newspaper's right to endorse candidates; it is in fact viewed as a responsibility in nearly all cases. Readers ought to be suspicious of a challenge to a student newspaper's endorsement priveleges in the same way they should shudder at any abridgement of particularly since such freedom of the press opposition is often led by jilted candidates who are as interested in revenge or self protection as they are "concerned" about the student body. At this University, The Spectrum is independent enough to rarely be threatened with losing its rights as a newspaper, including the right to endorse. Opposition almost always appears as persuasive moral argument that recognizes our endorsement rights and attempts to show they should not be exercised. We mention this only to drive home the point that the burden of proof rests not with The Spectrum, but with those that would alter standard newspaper policy. And what are the arguments for such a deviation from the norm? Make no mistake, some anti-endorsement rhetoric springs directly from the bitterness of an election defeat. The more sincere opposition is concerned about the The Spectrum's traditionally heavy hand endorsements appear to have on the election outcome. It perceives that the newspaper and not some more genuine influence is determining the winners; that democracy is being subverted; that the process has become unfair; and that the students are being wronged. But are they? Does The Spectrum promote its endorsements as the final word, to be strictly obeyed? No. We run verbatim, the candidates' own statements on crucial issues the first day of the election. We will allow candidates to respond in print to our endorsements the day of the election. We cover all the candidates forums; although the news is usually dominated by a predictable lack of student interest. We urge students to absorb all these sources of information and to make an informed, responsible judgement. In short, our coverage reflects a sincere attitude that the electorate shouldn't take — — — endorsements, all the candidates' statements, go to all the forums, absorb all the news coverage of the elections and come to an informed decision that usually corresponds with The Spectrum's choices? In the first case, endorsements are crucial, in the second they are merely coincidental. Neither, But of course, is an absolute picture of reality can gauge how heavily no one least of all us students rely on endorsements and to what extent endorsements merely predict voting habits. It is unknown and, more to the point, unknowable. On such tender, shifting ground, our opponents attempt to build their case against endorsements and claim they know how students choose candidates. We will make no such claims. It has simply never been made clear that The Spectrum determines the winners. And, if we had to guess, we would rather place faith in the intelligence and responsibility of the electorate than in our opponents' nebulously conceived theories on voting habits. We do not pretend to be demi gods, all knowing and incapable of error. We are annually disappointed in the performance of our endorsed candidates. But we are annually disappointed in SA itself. We measure our endorsements against the reality, against the relative qualifications of the candidates. We feel they are the best choices, not necessarily good choices. There have been many SA races where none of the hopefuls was particularly qualified; and the endorsements reflected this lesser of evils reality. We do not take responsibility for our picks as effective, or even competent, politicians; we will stand behind them as the best choice for their position; and urge readers to consider all that is implied by that designation. —. - - — — our word for it. Of course, none of this would be an issue, if The Spectrum had competition, if we were not the only newspaper on campus endorsing candidates. Those that use this logic in demanding an end to endorsements fail to recognize that it is not The Spectrum's responsibility to provide itself with competition. If we had subverted, or undermined another publication, or even editorially opposed a competitor then. this "monopoly" logic might have some basis. But as it stands, we are the only student newspaper because student leaders have been unable or unwilling to start another one. For all the concern some student politicians have shown about our so-called monopoly, we have seen very little effort to end it. Although we fully support another publication on campus, we hesitate to relinquish our rights as a newspaper because of someone else's inaction. Then there is the question of democracy, and whether The Spectrum makes a farce of elections by endorsing. If such a point is to be proven, we must examine what goes on inside the heads of our readers at election time. Do'they turn directly to the editorial page, read the endorsements, clip the appropriate names and simply carry them into the ballot box, ignoring all other input? Or do they read all the We have gone into some detail to explain our stance, but the basic truth remains that students are given a great opportunity and, through The Spectrum, a greater opportunity to make up their own minds on election day. There is no tyranny here, no thought-control, no mental manipulation. We feel we are qualified to judge the candidates. We feel we are fair in exercising that judgement. And we know that it is our right to do so. Anything less would be a disservice to ourselves and to our readers. - The following endorsements were based on The Spectrum's interviews and on the editors' perceptions of the candidates' performances in applicable. where office, Interviews were conducted in The Spectrum office Saturday, were Jay 21. Present Rosen, October Editor-in-Chief; David Levy, Managing Editor, Denise Stumpo, Managing Editor; Daniel S. Parker, Campus Editor; and Harvey Shapiro, Contributing Editor. President Schwartz, is of course running Karl unchallenged for President. Schwartz fully deserves the post, after showing true dedication and valuable insight in a troubled six month tenture as Executive Vice President. Schwartz has been the key man in SA for several months, and will become an even more crucial figure in the post election delerium. He has our wholehearted support. Executive Vice President As mentioned above, Joel Mayersohn, former campus editor of The Spectrum, will oppose Turner Robinson, president of Black candidate Student Union. Neither was urge students to read both interviewed. We candidates' statements in Wednesday's issue of The Spectrum and to obtain as much information about their qualifications as possible. Vice President for Sub Board I As stated earlier, Jane Baum, current Vice President for Sub Board I will oppose Ed Guity, former SA Minority Affairs Coordinator. Because Baum is pn The Spectrum staff, neither candidate was interviewed. Their own statements will appear in Wednesday's The Spectrum and we urge readers to absorb as much as possible about Baum's and Guity's qualifications. Treasurer - Endorsements The race for Treasurer may be a close one with both candidates seemingly capable of handling the duties. We give the edge to James Killigrew because of his depth of fiscal and accounting specific and his knowledge, suggestions about improving the budgetary process and ensuring accountability of various SA clubs. Dana Cowan exhibited enthusiasm and a to basic understanding of the Treasurer's role no but had be a fiscal watchdog for SA concrete conception of how he would smooth the - : — This week's SA elections are unusual, for a number of reasons. They come in mid-term for SA officers and three incumbents Acting — President Karl Schwartz, Director of Academic Affairs Sheldon Gopstein and Vice President for Sub Board I Jane Baum will be seeking re-election, an oddity in SA. The election is also characterized by a small field of candidates. There are no posts where even a choice among three is offered, and two candidates are running — unopposed. Our traditional endorsement policy has placed us in a difficult position in races for Executive Vice President and Vice President for Sub Board I. In the former, Joel Mayersohn, until last week a campus editor of The Spectrum will oppose Turner Robinson, president of Black Student Union. We did not feel we could fairly interview Mayersohn, so we gave Robinson the option of not being interviewed and he chose that route. Hence, there will be no editorial statement, pro or con, on either candidate for Executive Vice President. Jane Baum, attempting to retain her post as Vice President for Sub Board I is also on our staff as a writer. We gave Baum's opponent Ed Guity, former SA Minority Affairs Coordinator, the same option as Robinson and he also chose not to be interviewed. Hence, there will be no endorsement in the race for Vice President for Sub Board I. budget-making process or keep a closer eye on spending. Killigrew's promise to regularly examine the books of various SA-funded organizations and to evaluate the $80,000 SA office budget were both positive actions he could readily implement as Treasurer. Both candidates endorsed a sound fiscal approach to preparing a budget underestimating expected revenues of mandatory student fee money in the Spring, and if a surplus results in the Fall, budget then allocations increasing accordingly. Killigrew saw of problems competition between various organizations in allocating this money in the Fall, while Cowan pointed out that this fiscally conservative approach to budgeting would lower the expectations of many organizations' desired goals an insightful answer. Both candidates pledged to pay SA's outstanding bills if payment was authorized by the SA Executive Committee a problem that has marred the past Treasurer's credibility. Killigrew did say he would hold back an officer's stipend if he believed the person had been shirking their responsibility. Cowan, on the other hand, said he would seek input from the Student Senate if there was a financial obligation that he thought was unreasonable. — — — i*v �daymondaymondaynrv Although both candidates lack experience working with SA and financial matters, they both seem enthused, energetic and concerned about the SA's use or possible misuse of mandatory student fee money. It also appeared that both candidates saw the need to avoid personality conflicts a major problem plaguing this year's SA. — Director of Academic Affairs In this year of landmark academic decisions, we consider the SA Director of Academic Affairs a pivotal position, where success in promoting student rights on curriculum changes and other crucial academic matters hinges on the talent and the dedication of the Director. Sheldon Gopstein does not measure up. In six months as Director of Academic Affairs, Gopstein like most of SA has little to show. He has repeatedly denied that his absence over the summer seriously hindered his performance and, in general, has not exhibited the total commitment necessary to win battles where the odds are traditionally stacked against the students. Although we do not question his intelligence or character, he has a narrow conception of his job and has not obtained the depth of understanding in curcial matters like the Academic Plan and Generaf Education that we would expect in six months of work. Diane Bade is, admittedly, a gamble. She has no practical experience in SA and very little first hand or knowledge of academics policy policy-makers here. Yet, we found her bright, enthusiastic and see in her the potential for - - feedback leadership as Director of Academic Affairs. We feel she would be a hard worker and that combined with basic intellectual skills can more than make up for lost time. We support her election as Director of Academic Affairs. — — Director of Student Affairs Scott Jiusto, up to now Vice Chairman of Sub Board I, is also running unopposed for Director of Student Affairs. From what we have seen of Jiusto, he will be an excellent choice. He has a quick mind and an appreciation for the depth of most problems that will lend themselves ideally to the Director of Student Affairs position. We fully support his candidacy. Director of Student Activities The Director of Student Activities and Services must be creative and show foresight in introducing practical ideas and seeing them through to completion. Although Barry Caulder has no practical experience in either student government or dealing with the University administration, we feel he is the best qualified candidates on the basis of his ideas for future activities and services. We don't think all of his ideas are feasible, however, we admire his initiative. Caulder suggested weekly beer blasts, the return of campus parking ticket money to the University, increased lighting on streets near campus, and fewer but more popular bands at Spring/Fall fests. We commend Carlos Benitez' hard work this year as a member of the Student Activities Task Force yet we feel that he has few concrete suggestions for future activities. He stressed student unity and involvement and felt that a survey of students needs is necessary. Although he is extremely enthusiastic and dedicated, especially to minority causes, Benitez failed to present a clear concept of the Director's role and seemed to rely too heavily on what has gone before. SASU delegates We are generally pleased with the knowledge and experience of the three SASU delegate candidates who appeared for interviews. Marsha Edelstein, who was elected last March has proven to be a dedicated and competent worker. She deserves another six months on the job. Edelstein and candidate Don Berry, have worked closely together on SASU projects. Berry, through his yearlong work with SA, is knowlegeable about the organization and the intriciacies of student government politics. Another promising candidates is James Stern, who ran for the position last year. Stern exhibited confidence in himself and the potential lobbying power of SASU. His top priority would be to lobby for a voting rights bill which would allow students to vote in the district where they reside when away at school. The three candidates should be able to work together and lobby for SUNY Buffalo and SUNY at large effectively. Francis Kobian signed up for an interview but did not appear. Margaret Damm did not sign up for an interview. Chapman's ignorance Perhaps To the Editor. Mr. Chapman would have a better for Mr. Willis’ work if he turned to the October 15, 1975 front-page story on Willis in the Wall Street Journal or even to Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather Papers. He would then be better equipped to assess both the contribution and role of the director and director of photography in producing the final product. Surely in comparing Interiors with Little Murders, Klute, The Paper Chase,s, The Godfather, The Godfather: Part II, Parallax View, The Drowning Pool, All the President's Men, and even Annie Hall (among others) the master eye of a single creator, surfaces as a common denominator. Who is guiding whom? I by no means intend to take away from either Mr. Allen, his efforts, or just achievements (1 love him!), but to counteract an unfortunate and careless turn of phrase and praise a great and deserving artist. appreciation Ross Chapman exposes his ignorance of the “repent history of American cinema” by stating in reference to Woody Allen’s Interiors that “under Allen’s' creative guidance, cinematographer Gordon Willis has become a master interior decorator.” That many absurd statement not only denies but proves innovations and that Mr. Chapman knows nothing of how Willis (and others) work or what his contribution to a film is. Gordon Willis is not merely a cinematographer, but a director of photography as the credits say. If this seems a matter of semantics to most, it shouldn’t to a film reviewer for it speaks of creative collaboration. Who deckles the camera angles, lighting, filters, types of film to use, distances, perspectives, etc., or in other words, the view of the screenplay the audience witnesses in a Willis film? pre-Allen Paul d 'A more Tick . . . tick . . .

Left in the dark To the Editor 1 would like to comment in regard to security on the Amherst Campus.

Coping with dorm rules In Mr. Paul’s article oh the College Council (Guest Opinion, Friday October 13) he contends that “enacting legislation such as this (regarding cohabitation, quiet hours, etc.).. .is a major infringement upon the rights of dorm residents.,, .and.. .we are responsible adults who do not need to be told what we can or can’t do. ..”. He also asked for comments. Well I don’t know where you have been living Mr. Paul, but as a dorm resident I can state unequivocally that not only are the majority of dormitory students irresponsilbe but down-right inconsiderate. I don’t have to prove this statement, there is enough evidence displayed throughout the dorms of the destruction of the University and its property carried out by these so called “responsible adults”, who don’t even have the respect or dignity to maintain their own living quarters. As to unacceptable noise levels; I had requested the quiet hall in Rejljacket, but did not set it. I initially went to the housing office in Richmond to complain (nothing important, with two stereos, one •on each side of my room, I just couldn’t get any sleep), they sent me to my area coordinator, who sent me to my RA. When I asked my RA (one of the stereos) if quiet hours could be established, all I got were some evasive answers, and that “she would spread the word around”. THis is in effect meant that nothing was done. So, Mr. Paul, when you say that “in this way it was insured that each individual had the freedon to live his or her own lifestyle”, what you mean is that the majority is insured their freedom, everyone else just has to cope. In conclusion 1 might add that if the dorm residents were responsible atlults no “rules” "i'd be necessary to maintain some semibalance r. But at the present time, unfortunately, tL.s is not the case. Ross Chapman responds Socrates once said that all men are ignorant; it's some men are aware of it while others are only not. 1 am very much aware of my ignorance. I am and will always be a learner.

Jim DeSantis head of the fund drive is very pleased with the response. “So far, we’re way ahead of last year,” said DeSantis, UB Director of Public Affairs. “At $ 65,000, we’re past the half-way mark.” Based on the University’s payroll, the goal is set through negotiation with the United Way. This year, the goal is SI25,000. Compared to other colleges and universities, this is relatively high “The collective goal for all the schools in the entire Western New UB has York area is $175,000 of that,” DeSantis $125,000 informed. Although the goal has not been reached in seven years, he said he has much faith in the success of the October 1978 - — campaign. Past failures Some factors have worked against the campaign in recent years preventing the realization of set goals. Prior to this year, union dues were subtracted from employees’ checks during the month of October. This reduced the amount people were able to contribute. A list of the progress of various within the University divisions was presented in the October 12 issue of The Reporter. It appeared that while some divisions reached 100 percent of their goals, others had not contributed at all. DeSantis explained that some • turn them in collectively at the end of the month. “It’s too early in the campaign to tell how any certain department will do,” he added. A major factor in the success of this month’s campaign is the the faculty of cooperation memebers who have volunteered to collect for United Way. “They’re doing a magnificent job,” DeSantis financially afloat. Alternatives to increasing revenue, include cutting down the number of issues published or using a cheaper method of printing. Fischler said, “The purpose of this funding was to enable different groups to express their voices. The Board only provides seed money for the publications. Hopefully in the future, they will be self-supporting.” The soon to be published magazines include: History an interdisciplinary approach to historical problems. It has been alloted Si SO.

All dorm residents on Main Street and out at Amherst! Attention all off-campus people! How would you all like to be invited to the biggest, loudest, splashiest, most enthusiastic dance that UB has ever seen? What dance? The 3rd Annual Muscular Dystrophy Dance Marathon sponsored by the Community Action The following is a petition currently being circulated throughout the dorms on Main Street: We. the dormitory students on Mam Street, feel that there is a definite shortage of University Police during the night-time hours. This observation is due to the fact that there have been numerous acts of vandalism on the student-owned vehicles in the Main-Bailey lot, an outbreak of auto thefts, and also (probably the most important) the attack on the coed recently. At the present, there are only four to six University Police officers on patrol on the entire Main Street Campus during the midnight shift. This, we feel, is a ridiculously small force for providing the Corps, Before the engraved invitations go out we need a little help. Alright, we need more than a little help, we need alot of help. We need people to help us secure the golden ballroom. To recruit dancers willing to give up 30 hours for sore feet. To gather kindly patrons willing to donate prizes. And to this is not to be an exclusive publicize the event party. We need the services and energy of all interested individuals and organizations. This is no small undertaking. For those acquainted with last year’s marathon, you know what we mean. Help makes this MDA needs our year’s marathon more successful support. Anyone interested in working on the MDA Dance Marathon please attend one of the following - necessary protection that we should be entitled to We demand that University Police provide a patrol for the purpose of keeping a watch over the Main-Bailey lot and the adjoining areas behind the dorms. We also strongly urge that plans be made for the facilities lighting the in above-mentioned areas.

HUD’s Regional Director Frank Cerabone commented, “I have seen reports that indicate it’s happening. We as an agency are not redlining. Our mortgages go to qualified buyers.” Farber asserted that there are certain problems associated with FHA loans. “Once a buyer has gotten FHA approval, the sellers tend to inflate the price,” said Farber. Futhermore, Farber said that if a buyer defaults on an FHA loan, the house is seized by HUD to be resold later. During the time it is unoccupied, it frequently becomes the target of scavengers who ransack a vacant house and remove everything of value and sell it. Fixtures, wiring, plumbing and woodwork are all tom out of the house, leaving it a worthless empty shell and a target for vandals and arsonists. Both Collins and Fahey pointed out that the state controls the regulatory agencies which govern mortgages. Collins asserted that the only way to deal with redlining is at the state legislative level. “We have written to the state legislators,” said Fahey, “Now we have to wait for the state.” Phones ■■MBMI IIHmH ■BHBHI —continued from page 7. . .

Robert L. Palmer, Assistant to the Vice President for Student Affairs, is the director of both the Talent Search and Upward Bound here. Programs Other staff involved in the program will include Assistant Director Elverna Gitdney, two professional counselors, two college students and, in the future, various volunteers. “Encouragement is the key in the Talent Search Program.” Palmer stated. “Many students, despite excellent potential, lack the counseling and encouragement to help them continue on to higher education,” he further stated. The Talent Search Program stems from UB’s Upward Bound Program. Both programs are federally funded by the office of Don’t Forget! Education of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The main difference between Upward Bound and Talent Search, is that the former works with only about 130 educationally and economically disadvantaged students while the latter will reach approximately 1200. The participants in Talent Search will come from low income families in the Buffalo area and will be individuals who show academic potential through high school grades and various test scores. Parental involvement The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) differs from Upward Bound and Talent Search, as it focuses on students who are economically as as well educationally disadvantaged, and who are already enrolled in college. provides EOP also tutoring and financial assistance to these students. Palmer stressed the significance of parent involvement. The program will inform parents of their child’s potential and the importance of higher education, as well as advising them on various grants and scholarships. Talent Search Program will also receive help from various organizations in the community, such as St. Augustine Center, De la van-Grider Concerned Citizens The Association, Community Action Organization of Erie County and the Filmore-Leroy Community Development Corporation. These organizations will support the program by providing necessary space for and counseling interviews and by recruiting students who can be helped by the program. Theater Dept, gets new lease "We are thrilled the arrangement has been made!” said a smiling Saul Elkin. Director of the Theater Department after UB Friday became the official tenants of the Studio Arena Theater, at 710 Main Street. "We are concerned with Theater Education we made a commitment to students and now we are making one to the city. We are delighted to be working here,” Elkin added. The reknowed actor and director spoke at a press conference attended by Buffalo Mayor James Griffin and prominent UB administrators and professors. For the past seven years, the Theater Department has been working out of the Pfeifer Theater at Lafayette and Hoyt. Last spring tire department decided to lease the Studio Arena. The space was made available when the Studio Arena purchased the old Palace Theater across the street. "When 1 heard that the Studio Arena was moving, I approached them about leasing their space,” Elkin said. The new theater is appropriately called the UB Center for Theater Research. Tire change is one of many taking place since the implementation of the Entertainment District Project this summer. Headed by Harold Cohen, Dean of Architecture and Environmental Design, the project, funded by a heavy influx of federal and state money, is aimed at revitalizing Buffalo’s downtown theater district through pedestrian malls, enclosed walkways and major reconstruction. Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Letters George Levine who served as proxy for President Robert Ketter, said, “UB will have an important impact on the cultural life in Buffalo and the newly rejuvenated theater district. UB’s Center hopefully will increase the theater audience here.” Mayor Griffin expressed his faith and best wishes as he thanked the UB Center for Theater Research for “bringing theater back to where it was,” making the downtown theater district potentially “one of the finest in the nation.” - EARN OVER 650A MONTH RIGHT THROUGH YOUR SEMORYEAR. $ THE CHEAPEST FASTEST BESTEST PHOTOCOPYING ON CAMPUS IS AT 355 SQUIRE HALL $.08 PER COPY MON.-FRI 9-5 The doctor doesn’t cut out anything.

Maloney, 19-0 Larry Jones ran for one touchdown and passed for another last Tuesday as Catch 22 shutout the Cora P. Maloney Killers 19-0 in Intramural action at Ellicott. Jones, normally an explosive wide receiver for Catch 22 (4-0), played quarterback for the first time this season. Team captain Steve Trigoboff put Jones at the helm after regular QB Wally Baumgarten was unable to attend the game. Second string QB Harvey Lisman, who replaced Baumgarten originally, was unable to get the offense rolling on Catch’s first offensive series. Jones failed to move the offense on his first series either, as the Killers (0-3) played aggressive defense. But with just two minutes remaining in the first half Jones took charge, hitting wide receiver Danny Zahn on a 25 yard pass down to the CPM 7 yard line. On thegjext play Jones, a 6 foot 3 inch former UB Varsity Basketball star, displayed his deft faking ability as he wriggled his way past two would-be-taggers eh route to the two yard line. Then, on 4th down Jones strode arpund right end giving Catch 22 a 6-0 halftime lead. Sack time When the Killers had the ball they were unablt to mount a threat. Their biggest gain on the afternoon was a 25 yard kick-off return by speedster Larry Williams down to the Catch 22 twenty-two yard line. But the Catch 22-defense, scored upon only once this season, pushed the Killers back into their own territory. Joe Makinajian, formerly of the New York Clits, had a field day in the CPM backfield, nailing quarterbacks Ed Dolphin and Paul Rivera for substantial losses. Harvey Lisman, Gene Tundo, and Jeff Rodd sealed off the run, while Paul Gould and Zahn each had one interception in shutting' down the CPM passing game. In the second half, the Catch 22 offense began to roll as their running attack shifted into high gear- A Jones run for 7, followed by a Trigoboff reverse for 17, moved the ball down to the CPM 4 yard line. Danny Zahn then took a pitch from Jones and sped around right end for six, making if 12-0 early in the second half. A five yard scoring strike from the southpaw Jones to Tundo, followed by Jones’ successful extra point run capped the scoring for what looks like a playoff bound team. Captain Trigoboff commented, “All we need is consistency. We’ve had different players playing different positions every week.

Every major league baseball team rtow has fervent Christian “born-again” players who hold prayer services in the clubhouses and Christian retreats in the off-season. If baseball players, long known to be a rascalious fmrt'ch, are getting religion, it’s also fair to say that the national pastime itself has become a kind of religion to Americans. The season just ended was a record one for the game, with over 40 million fans attending. The sport that many predicted would die out, fading to popularity the increased of football and buried by TV, has come back stronger than ever in our affections. It has been the most exciting baseball season in years a season — that, when it was over, was not over. The Red Sox led their nearest competition by over 10 games until the last month, swooned in September and then came back to tie the Yankees and force a one-game playoff. During even the dreadful September collapse, the statistics on child abuse and wife beating soared. The old man comes home from work tired and hot, has a few beers, watches the Red Sox get creamed and takes it kids and wife. Who says baseball is only a game? In Boston,' it’s 3 sacred tradition. In the West, the most exciting story was the San Francisco Giants, not because they won the championship they finished third behind the Dodgers and Reds but because of thfcir - •— enormous improvement- They held first place most of the season and broke the alj-time major league record for one-run victories with 42. It was a rare Giants game that didn’t go right down to the wire, heart in throat, as the San Francisco attendance soared from 700,000 in 1977 to 1.7 million this year. Friends of mine made a novena to Brother Juniper Serra, the California missionary priest who’s up for sainthood in the Catholic Church; they promised that if he could make the Giants win the pennant (a*,true miracle!) they’d tell the new Pope about it. But the Giants died and the Pope soon followefl, and poor Jumper© Serra will have to come up with other miracles if ,he wants to make the grade. Humberto Cardinal Medeiros, archbishop of Boston, stepped out of the conclave that elected Pope John Paul long enough to ask an American journalist for the score of that day’s Red Sox game. Hearing that the Sox had won, he smiled and said, “Thanks be to God.” Sister Margaret, who teaches first grade at St. Joseph’s School in San. Francisco, told Giants announcer Lon Simmons that she has her students say prayers, recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag and sing the Giants fight song before dais. It all seems crazy; but' that’s how we are about our national pastime. Like Argentines with their soccer, we simply go nuts. For .<• all the overtones of religiosity, baseball can still be a nasty matter! The public nastiness this year was mostly concentrated in New York and Los Angeles, the cities that also sport ' the strongest teams..

Yet the measure these ads promote is somewhat vague in Its opponents fear it would sanction the firing of teachers for simply telling their students that Spartan Greece was a gay culture. It might effectively prohibit teachers from drinking at gay bars, having gay friends, assigning books by gay authors, or belonging to clubs that might have gay members. A group called No On 6 was organized to oppose the initiative. committee has sought The visibly support from “mainstream” groups, and it has wording. largely succeeded. The No On 6 committee has also gotten support from a number of churches, like the United Church of Christ and the United Presbyterian Church, and from most of the state’s liberal establishment.

No On 6 plans a million-dollar campaign of its own, with ads claiming, “It’s Not Just Dumb, It’ Dangerous.” - Yet there’s an element of fear within the anti-6 campaign. David Mixner, the chairman of No On 6 and a veteran of many liberal political campaigns, says most supporters of his committee aren’t altogether assertive in their support.

The prestigious Field poll and a CBS poll both show Proposition 6 winning handily, though the polls former were taken before Governor Ronald Reagan said he wasn’t going to support it. Los Angeles Times and Sacramento Bee surveys have the initiative losing-by a small margin. Sallie Fiske of No On 6 is hoping that “California voters seem to be looking at 6 differently than drives to repeal human rights legislation. There, the drive was to repeal special privileges afforded to gays. But the Briggs measure would single out a group and take away its existing constitutional rights. Too many people can see that, and are saying, ‘If they can do that to gays, blacks and Chicanos and Lutherans might be next.” �classified THE STRING SHOPPE ha* over 300 guitar* and banjos, new. used, close out Call specials, etc. Trades accepted 874-0120 tor hours and location. — B, Rochester.

Redlining is a banking practice whereby banks label an entire area a “bad risk” and deny mortgage and home improvement loans to individuals living in that area. Critics of the practice have called Lawrence Farber, Claudia Lawrence and Susan Turner. The three first divided the city into 11 distinct neighborhoods based on economic 4nd ethnic data derived from the 1970 census and various community leaders. Data from NYPIRG; W awrzonekrefuses to approve Motts stipend Student Association Treasurer Fred Wawrzonek has fired the first shot in what promises to be another intra-SA battle by refusing to approve a stipend payment to former SA President Richard Mott. Wawrzonek has pledged to bring the matter to the SA Senate at its next meeting. He told The Spectrum that Mott did not appear in the SA offices the final week of his administration. “From about September 29 to October 9, Mott wai in the office perhaps three times; once for an Executive Committee meeting and twice to pick up his mail,” Wawrzonek said. Acting SA President Karl Schwartz believes otherwise. “The fact is Rich came into the office every day to brief me on certain things I should know as President,” Schwartz claimed. He added that while Mott was not present in the office after October 2 as often as he was before the day he announced his resignation, Mott still deserved the money. “Before he resigned he spent nearly 60 hours a week up here, more than any other SA officer,” Schwartz said. Schwartz added that it seemed that Wawzronek’s decision, like so many other recent SA dealings, was purely a personality conflict. “The bottom line on this issue is that personality disagreements have developed. 1 am trying to move the organization away from all this, but conflicts continue to arise,’’ he said. Schwartz also said he was troubled with Wawzronek’s decision because it set a dangerous precedent for the future. “A future SA Treasurer can look back on this incident and use his power over the stipend to affect the other members of the Executive Committee in policy decisions,” he said. Mott, of course, called for General Elections the day before his resignation. If Mott’s move is not deemed unconstitutional, Wawrzonek must run for re-election to retain his post. Mott and Wawrzonek clashed openly several times during the former president’s tenure, most recently over Wawrzonek’s refusal to pay over $5,000 in back SA debts to The Spectrum and to the Student Association of the State University (SASU). Wawrzonek said he was wary of using his power to affect policy, but felt that Mott’s situation was different. “I was against Karl and Rich’s decision to withhold Lori’s (SA Director of Student Affairs Lori Pasternak) summer stipend because they could possibly exert undue influence over her at SA Executive Committee meetings,” Wawrzonek pointed out. “However, Rich is no longer in office. so there is no way 1 could affect policy-making by withholding his check.” Wawrzonek added that there is no personality conflict involved, saying, “T just feel that since Karl did the work, he should receive the Presidential stipend, not Rich.” Accordingly, Wawzronek said he will ask the SA Senate to decide whether the money will be given to Schwartz, Mott or neither at the next Senate meeting. Inside: A suffragette speaks—P. 4 / these 1 1 neighborhoods was contrasted with data from the suburban co'mmunities of Grand Island, Tonawanda, Kenmore, Amherst and Williamsville. The mortgage and deposit data was obtained from Buffalo Savings Bank, Erie County Savings Bank, First Federal Savings and ' Loan of Buffalo, First Federal Savings and Loan of Rochester, Manufacturers and Traders Trust Co., Marine Midland Bank and East River Savings Bank (formerly Erie Federal Savings and Loan). The 1976 statistics were based on the number of mortgages per 1,000 houses in each district, putting all neighborhoods on an equal scale. All of the above banks were contacted by The Spectrum to respond to NYPIRG’s assertions. All refused to comment on the report or on any accusations of redlining. Reinvestment Perhaps the most revealing table in the report compares the amount of money deposited in the banks with the amount —continued on page 16 Good, inexpensive apartments Albany students realize goal of student run off-campus housing by Paul Magiotto Staff Writer Spectrum The long aspired idea of student run off-campus housing recently became a reality for SUNY Albany students with the purchase of two apartment buildings by Student Dwellings, Inc. Student Dwellings, Inc. is a non-profit organization affiliated with SUNY Albany which operates as a separate enity. “Our purpose is to service the community and provide good adequate housing for students at better than average cost,” said Vice President of Student Dwellings John Welty. Any surplus revenue is used for expansion and reinvestment, he informed. The project started two years ago with an appropriation of $20,000 from the Student Assocaition. “Essentially, this money gave us the ability to look for available housing and to investiggte the possibility of getting federal funds for neighborhood renovation,” said President of Albany’s SA Paul Feldman. “We had to do cost benefit analyses and this appropriation gave the corporation funds to work with and to make a down payment on a building when one was found,” he said. Mortgage woes problem encountered in buying off-campus housing is the cost of liability, insurance mortgages and maintenance. Student Dwellings has partially overcome some of these difficulties by hiring a student superintendent who lives in the building and performs most of the upkeep. For major repair work, outside labor is hired. “All costs of upkeeping the apartments are estimated and paid for out of revenues collected as rent,” Welty explained. “The major problem,” he vdaborated, “is getting a mortgage from the banks. A new non-profit organization is viewed as suspect." Though the buildings only consist of eight units which will house 20 students, it is a basic step in the direction of students controlling their own off-campus housing. “Besides providing good housekeeping, we also A main Autumn at the parks— P. 13 / hope to be a service to the neighborhood by renovating these apartments,” expressed Feldman. Though no federal funds have been granted to date, Feldman is hopeful that this money will eventually come through to allow further renovation and help them set good examples as landlords. “What it takes is a good deal of planning time, involving a lawyer and investiging non-profit laws,” said Welly. UB shortage Anyone who has had the unfortunate experience of being without an apartment at the beginning of this school year, is aware of the-housing problem which faces the UB area. “At the end of the last school year I had a line outside my door," commented Allen Clifford of the Off-Campus Housing. “We housed over 400 students One can envision a sprawling student community of apartment complexes surrounded by expanded commercial businesses—providing the student with everything he needs; a prefabricated neighborhood. out of this office,” he continued, “and next year we’re going to have the same problem, as the University will accept another 2500 freshman.” The numerous “apartment available” slips still on the housing bulletin board arc due to the use of Public Service Announcements in the search for housing, Executive Director of Sub Board Dennis Black stated. “After that we had more rooms than needed,” he said. The-only problem encountered, he continued, was that students were being taken advantage of by high rents and slum landlords. Joe Krakowiak, Director of Orientation of the Office of Student Affairs, came face to face with the housing crunch this summer while running student orientation. He is working with .members of Sut Board, Student Association,' Graduate Student Association, and the University Heights Community First ladies profiled—P. 15 • / —continued on Movie section—P. 23 page 2— �} Albany housing. Center on a study of available housing in the University area. “The purpose is to maximize what is available and to utilize every possible room in the area,” explained Black. Legal difficulties The possibility of buying houses that are not presently being rented by students is being considered, Black stated. One example mentioned was the Security Office which will soon be moving out of its Winspear Avenue location. “It is feasible that Sub Board could buy the building for housing students.” he said, but quickly added that the numerous legal ramifications of Sub Board owning property have not been checked. The possibility of buying out slum landlords also exists but this could be “damn expensive,” Black added. “There is an incredible amount of liability involved in Sub Board buying buildings in the community,” Clifford commented. “The cost of insurance and maintenance makes purchasing any house not worth the effort,” he said. Clifford informed that improvements in off-campus housing services will be made in the next few years, such as computerizing the listings. Such efforts would be concentrated more in the Buffalo area than in Amherst due to the cost, Clifford added. This could create a major difficulty he said. Soon the Amherst campus will be the site of practically all undergraduate study. Yet the availability of off-campus housing in Amherst is minimal, and what is around is extremely expensive. , Private monies The UB Foundation, the fund-raising arm of the University, is also working on the problem. Three years ago, UB President Robert Ketter asked the Foundation to look into the possibility of purchasing off-campus housing, specifically apartments. “Most of the prospective apartments we looked at were either too old, too small, not well built enough or too far away. The upkeep and maintenance on these buildings that would be needed each year would bring the cost out of the student’s reach,” explained Foundation President John Carter. The Foundation docs, however, own 17 acres of land across from the Amherst Campus on the corners of Sweet Home and Chestnut Ridge Roads. “Originally this was planned for Parcel B," explained Carter, “but the Foundation could not get the track of land rezoned for Parcel B’s purposes.” One year ago, $8000 was spent on plans for using the track of land, in part, for student housing and University research facilities* —continued from • pea* 1— • running the facilities themselves or leasing the land out. “These plans have not been forgotten,’ said Carter, “they have been put on a back burner.’ This is due to the amount of time Parcel B is demanding, he explained. (Parcel B is the track of land along Clemens Hall which has been cleared for Commercial business. There are no plans to use this track for student housing.) Although Foundation built housing would help to ease dhe shortage, it would not be student-run, as is Student Dwellings. Carter saw no need to form a corporation such as Student Dwellings, since his organization already has the ability to function in that capacity. However, Sub Board Director Black, sees the need for forming a new corporation, especially if Sub Board is prevented from owning housing and if the corporation would be student controlled. He pointed out that there are no “student ghettos” in Amherst for students to move into. He compared Amherst to other,universities he’s visited where private or student owned apartment complexes surround the university. The problem is, he stated, getting the capital to get it started. Zoning confusion Although the idea of living in an apartment complex, may hot have the appeal of a spacious old house on Minnesota Avenue, students may not have a choice. Available houses are most likely out of financial reach and the Town of Amherst’s zoning laws provide a sparling entanglement of rules and regulations. The legality of non-related persons living together in Amherst is questionable, according to a spokesperson from the Town’s Building and Zoning Department. “There are a lot of zoning laws where it wouldn't be. allowed,” he said. However, the spokesperson continued, each case is different and would have to be decided by the commissioner. For example: two or three non-related people could rent a unit in Amherst, but in order to rent to any more, the owner must presently be living in the same unit. However, if in this designated area the owner had ait adjacent unit to rent, the residents would have to be related to the owner. Any more than two or three non-related people living together anywhere in Amherst would-most likely be against zoning laws with the exception of multiple dwelling apartment complexes. The situation is confusing to say the least. As the slow off-campus migration to Amherst turns into mass exodus, students will be confronted with a difficult situation. One can envision a sprwawling student community of apartment complexes surrounded by expanded commercial business providing the student with everything he needs; a pre-fabricatcd neighborhood. But this will exist only if Sub Board’s, the UB Foundation’s, and concerned individual’s plans are realized. One can also envision a mass of frustrated students looking for a place to live within their means. - Amherst problem The Foundation has an agressive local realty firm working for them to develop this land.

[ I Buffalo Transit Rd. (Opposite Eastern Hfe Mai) 631-3526 Schwartz to run alone Acting Student Association (SA) President Karl Schwartz will run unopposed in the SA general elections scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. At the 4;30 p.m. Thursday deadline for filing election petitions, Schwartz’s name was the only one entered in the crucial presidential race. The contest for the Executive Vice President post probably shapes up as the most interesting. Turner Robinson, president of Black Student Union and the SA Minority Affairs Coordinator, will oppose Joel Mayersohn, campus editor of The Spectrum since September, and Barry Rubin, currently SA Director of Activities and Services. Robinson lost last year’s Executive V.P. race to Schwartz and, with Rubin, is still embroiled in the bitter opposition to former SA President Richard Mott’s decision to call for general elections, made three weeks ago. Mayersohn was also chairman of SA Elections and Credentials Committee until Schwartz asked him to run as Executive Vice President. He has resigned that post and taken a leave of absence from The Spectrum . Current SA Vice President for Sub Board 1 Jane Baum will be challenged by a political newcomer, Ed Quity. Baum has been a consistent ally of Schwartz. SA Treasurer Fred Wawrzonek, one of the fiercest opponents of Mott’s move and the leader of the constitutional challenge seeking to halt the elections, decided against running for another term. Jim Killegrew will oppose Dana Cowan in the race for the Treasurer’s post. Scott Jiusto, Vice Chairman,of Sub Board I, will run unchallenged for Director of Student Affairs. Lori Pasternak, another consistent opponent of Schwartz and Mott, did not hand in election petitions. Ironically, Jiusto was defeated last year by Pasternak in his bid for the directorship. Jiusto has also aligned himself with Schwartz in the , current SA battle. Barry Rubin’s quest for the Executive Vicfe President position leaves the Director of Student Activities and Services race to Barry Calder and Carlos Benitez, an SA Senator and active member of the Puerto Rican Student Union (PODER). Sheldon Goptein, current Director of Academic Affairs, attempt to retain his position against Diane Meade. Candidates for Student Association of the State University (SASU) delegates have until today to hand in election petitions. Meanwhile, there has been no word on the constitutional challenge to the general elections. The SA Executive Committee, under a resolution passed at its last meeting, has pledged to file a request for a temporary ur\junction stopping the elections. Baum. Jiusto and Schwartz all voted against that resolution.

A constant quest Archives ‘University museum’ accumulates quality collection by Michael Delia Contributing Editor Maps, motion pictures, tear gas cannisters, and a mouse trap they all have one thing in common. They’re just a small part of the vast collection to be found in the Unviersity Archives. But this University didn’t always have an archive. Like most universities and colleges in the United States early development of archives was haphazard at best. Neglect took its toll on records of academic institutions. SUNY at Buffalo was no exception. The establishment of archives at Harvard University in 1939 began a movement in American universities to collect and preserve past records for scholarly use. THis movement gained momentum in the early 1960’s, and in the fall of 1965, President Clifford Furnas established the University Archives here. His motives were historical rather than administrative. He felt an urgent need to preserve the University’s past in an era of dramatic change. The old University of Buffalo had merged with the State University of New York (SUNY) and plans for the Amherst Campus were already beginning. ‘Grassroots’ graduated from Babcock Barnard College in 1914, a school organized for women as an equivalent to men’s colleges. After graduation, she was asked to be secretary for the National College Equal Suffrage League. She - ' Disaster and neglect I'nder the auspices of University Libraries, the Archives was located in a study carrel in the old Lockwood Library. Because material was scattered, the collection was small. As it began to solicit material from the University and community, it steadily expanded its holdings. The collection moved from its carrel in Lockwood to Diefendorf Hall; from Diefendorf to Harriman Library; from Harriman to an office in Lockwood with off-campus storage; to its off-campus location on Jewett She is witty and alert despite sitting in her her years, chair. Lazy-boy comfortable Quietly reflecting on her life as “an exciting time," Eleanor Babcock recalls her role in shaping American history. She was a suffragette. The 87 year-old womikn is the last living member of the group that organized parades and rallies for the Women’s Political Union (WPU) in New York City. Most of her work, between the years 1915 and 1920, took place there and at the state capital in Albany. Born in Nyack, New York, she was raised, as were her three sisters, to be suffragettes. Her mother was an active member in the neighborhood, while her father was a New York Senator from Brockland County. “He was in favor of suffrage at home. In the Senate, he never opposed it, but he never really did anything for it either,” she wryly commented. traveled around the country to other colleges for rallies and conventions. “It was quite an experience,” the activist revealed. Babcock explained her work as “grassroots.” She and other members of the League circulated petitions and buttonholed state legislators. The League also sponsored the first suffragette parade ever held in the United States.* The event, which took place in New York City, was frowned upon by the national organization. “They didn’t think too much of us, they didn’t of parades,” approve she continued. “They considered us the lunatic fringe.” Babcock and the WPU carried three petitions across New York State, asking all Democratic and Republican office holders to sign. “It was a glorious day when the Democratic convention approved women suffrage with a standing vote,” she exclaimed. Harriet Blatch, the leader of the WPU in New York, persuaded the political machines within the state, most notably Tamany Hall, to endorse the Women’s suffrage movement. “She was a very intelligent, very responsible, very astute Babcock lady,” commented, noting that women’s suffrage was secured for the state due to Blatch’s efforts.

University Archivist Shonnie Finnegan said, “It’s good to be back.” Because the Archives was established late in the University’s history, valuable historical material has been lost as a result of “natural disaster and neglect,” said Finnegan. Only a “small” number of records were kept by the Administration before the Archives was established in 1965. Holes in the University’s past have sent archivists inot a frenzy to retrieve missing material.

Acting SA President Karl Schwartz said he estimates at least $250 was spent on bagels. “As far as how much it cost to acquire the wood and other materials, I don’t really know,” he said. Rubin countered The Spectrum's claim that the event cost SA between $800-$1000. “The reading certainly did not cost anything near $1000. A better estimate would be $550,” he asserted.

President of the Undergraduate Management Association Mark Greensban agrees that the lottery system is “the most equitable system that can be conceived.” However, he suggested that increased interaction between Career Guidance and the School of Management faculty is needed, along with more feedback from guidance counselors to faculty. system Though long hours of studying over many cups of coffee may help, nothing alters the cold fact that 75 percent of undergraduates who apply to the School of Management in their sophomore year are rejected. Once safely in the Department, stiff competition is felt not only in classrooms, but also in the Management career placement program. Students must take a lottery number in order to secure an interview with one of the national business firms who recruit on campus. According to the Director of Career Guidance Eugene Martell, the lottery is a complicated process. Students must first register with the office, he explained. A bulletin, published every two weeks by the office, lists the business firms that are conducting interviews in the upcoming week. If a student wishes an interview with a particular company, he picks up a lottery number, which determines the student’s place in line for sign-ups for interviews. Equal, but competitive Difficulties stem from a limited number of interviews and the interest in job widespread opportunities. Some companies are in greater demand causing their time slots to be filled quickly. According to Martell, 5000 interview spaces were requested last year and still 20 percent of the Management students were refused interviews. He said that this is not necessarily detrimental because an interested student can submit a resume to a business firm on his own initiative and set up a personal interview. ‘Section 3 helps Recruit recruiters Dean of the School of Management Joseph Alutto responded by calling the lottery system “an artificial means of placing students.” He commented, “There is very little about the placement situations that the School of Management likes except the people who run it.” Alutto contends the weakness in the program is the lack of a separate placement staff for the School of Management. He said, “More resources are needed for personnel and facilities; too little proportion of resources is put into placement at UB.” He added, “The University is lucky that recruiters are attracted to UB, but there is still a need to go out and recruit recruiters.” UB’s undergraduate School of Management is ranked in the top five percent nationally, according to Alutto. He said the Management school is the only one in the WNY region that is fully accredited and the only program in the State system that offers a PhD degree. Due to its the School high standing, accepted only 350 students out of 1,400 who applied last year. Alutto noted “a good deal of for positions and advancement” within the School. “The select group of students who are accepted are used to doing well,” he explained. “They need a minimum 2.8 grade point average be to considered for the been Department. Having successful in the past causes a situation of informal competition between good students.” The School of Management has the lowest grade distribution scale meaning the toughest grading in the University, policies according to Alutto. The result? Heavy competition for the few high grades that are given out, he said, adding, “The students naturally feel the pressure that this whole situation creates. They are no different from anyone else. They want to be recognized.” Alutto denies any relationship between the intense competition and reports of cheating in the several Management courses last allegedly semester. Students passed notes and exchanged answers during exams last year, but Alutto traced the cheating to crowded classrooms and the use competition — - New —Smith Man«gam«nt D—n Joseph Alutto 'Students feel the pressure' of standardized tests. The dean also blamed the faculty who “did not pay attention to overcrowded conditions.” He added, “The faculty assumed that the students were mature adults.

The School of Management, the Department of Economics, the College of Urban Studies, the School of Architecture and Environmental Design, the Center for Media Study, College F, Black Studies, the Law School, Community Action Corps, NYPIRG, The Spectrum, all can, and should, have a role in exposing and opposing corporate abuses like redlining. This is the real thing, part of what a University is all about. The University is proud of its director's role in Buffalo's re-birth. But with its failure to attack public interest issues like redlining, SUNY Buffalo may help pull the curtain on the city's death. .There are a number of task forces in operation at this University.

We reali.e that protest resignations can only gladden administration hearts while compounding our difficulties. We'd rather fight than switch. But we have been fighting ten years for the Program, struggling five years for the PhD proposal. What we tried to get across to your reporter is that here, as elsewhere in this despirited University, there is now a very real danger of losing quality faculty; two Rockefeller Humanities Fellowship winners and a Guggenheim Fellow will be deciding this fall whether or not to return to the Program when their fellowship periods are up. And we are all asking ourselves the same question: how much longer can we keep going? We have worked so long and so hard, and so very well together that no for a saner one wants to be the first to situation elsewhere, yet, since our most basic reason for being here is really “each other”, our solidarity, it seems probable that one or two of us leave the rest will soon follow. It hurts to have the only graduate Program in the country that has successfully integrated Native American Studies, Womens Studies and Puerto Rican Studies perspectives on the world.to be ready and able to provide truly interdisciplinary training for pioneering doctoral students in these crucial fields, to know that we can give a measure of konwledge-power to the oppressed, and yet not be able to do our work without constant worry and harrassment.

NYPIRG has also uncovered insurance redlining in Buffalo and across the state, where huge insurance firms systematically deny homeowners policies and even auto insurance to entire neighborhoods almost always bounded by racial lines. The state banking department, instead of acting as the public's advocate before the banking community, has been slow to move against redlining; while .ank-worshiping Republicans in the state legislature have effectively stiffed anti-redlining laws from being hea r r on the floor. Figh'um big banking interests on an issue like redlining is even tougher than fighting city hall, especially in Buffalo where the revitalization of the downtown area depends so heavily on the financing whims of the banks. Money talks, and the banks scream their manipulative public relations messages on every edition of the six o'clock news and in every section of the Sunday papers. It is one thing to take on a corrupt political machine or a mismanaged bureaucracy. It is quite another to attack the financial conerstor s of a desperate city. But NYPIRG has been successful downstate in helping organize citizen resistance movements that have pressured some New York City banks to invest in Studies Studies. Black Studies is a distinct department within the Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration, and we have long been supporters of their autonomy.

The NVPIRG study showed that the worst redliner. Western New York Savings Bank, reinvested only 5 percent of deposits from Buffalo residents into mortgages within the city. The same bank returned 102 percent of suburban deposits to suburban areas, while Marine Midland reinvested 1 percent in the city and 35 percent in the suburbs, NVPIRG found. Without mortgage money, inner-city dwellers are unable to upgrade homes they own or free themselves from slum landlords. And NYPIRG found an unanswered mortgage demand in the city that shoots holes in any bank's claim that mortgages are simply not needed in Buffai . This is redlining and its effect is nothing short of deadly. American Second, "encompass” , discriminating banking practice in Buffalo. The study shows how Buffalo banks systematically siphon off deposit money from inner-city, racially mixed neighborhoods in the central core, East-side and West-side areas; deny mortgage requests in the redlined sections as a means of disinvestment; then pour dollars into the stable, profitable white neighborhoods of North and South Buffalo as well as exclusively white suburbs like Amherst and racially budgeted as regular departmental units. We are . Buffalo is a city built around block after block of houses. Not tenements, not apartment projects, not condominiums, not co-ops. Two-story, wood frame, 50—60 year-old houses. Buffalo is a city deteriorating from white-flight to the suburbs, a rotting urban core, a shrinking tax base and all the accompanying socio economic evils. And Buffalo, the University should note, is a city redlined. The New York Public Interest Group, as part of its statewide uncovering of redlining, has released a comprehensive study of the inner-city neighborhoods. In Buffalo, redlining is beginning to strangle the Fillmore-Leroy area, a mile down from the Main Street Campus. But that is the closest the redlining issue hits to the University. At an institution brimming with expertise in economics, finance and urban affairs and gloriously dedicated to public service and the improvement of the community, we find this crucial report on redlining, complete with its deadly overtones for the city of Buffalo, produced by three VISTA volunteers working for a student organization funded by activity fees. The great fear cited by opponenets of the Amherst Campus was that the University become an would lose its tie to the city isolated ivory tower of obtuse intellectualism. The administration has succeeded in convincing many of us that no, the school has been drawn even closer to the city and, in fact, is playing a critical role in the Rennaissance of Buffalo. We suggest that, while the University has been eager to bask in the footlights of pretty PR projects like the downtown theater district and Regional Economic Assistance Center it has neglected more critical, but less popular concerns like redlining, community organizing and utility reform. There is the expertise and the intellectual energy here to complete studies like NYPIRG's a hundred times over. Where is the dedication to the public? Where is the spirit of egalitarian concern? Where is the academic expertise that citizens need only desperately? Where is the underlying sense of wrong and right when banks are allowed to figuratively rob from the poor to give to the rich? Where are the faculty of this University when student volunteers on meager budgets are left to come to such startling conclusions? Does the State University of New York at Buffalo grace only signs and not souls? We might wait for University President Robert L. Ketter to apply pressure against redlining at l]is next meeting as a member of the Marine Midland Board of Directors. Or place our faith in Charles Diebold III, a member of the University of Buffalo Foundation board of trustees and the president of Western New York Savings Bank, to end the blatant redlining policies of his corporation. Or perhaps Robert Millonzi, Diebold's law partner and chairman of the UB College Council might initiate the anti-redlining campaign cn campus.

The Spectrum carried two major stories, one before the conference, one after. Despite the fact that no one would deny that the U.S. involvement in Vietnam was one of the most critical events in recent American history, nor the fact that we were able to bring tcv Buffalo some of the most prominent analysts of the war in the United States to discuss this event, the message of The Spectrum articles (as well as of several letters that have appeared) was clearly that the very idea of the conference was illegitimate since views were likely to be expressed that some would disagree with. In the first article. The Spectrum's reporter interviewed Professor Richard Cox, the other organizer and co-chairman of the conference, who explained the rationale for the forthcoming discussions. However, most of the article was given over to the views of two individuals, neither of whom is known for his intellectual authority in such matters, and one of whom (Bruce Beyer) is not even a member of the University community. The Spectrum, in effect, asked them if it were all right that such a conference should be held, and both clearly thought not, on the grounds that the conference would be insufficiently antiwar to suit their views. The second article, reporting the actual results of the conference, was perhaps not as bad, but it was basically in the same vein. It began with a grotesquely inaccurate statement that one cannot help but suspect was not simply an error: “only 25 people showed up for the two-day conference.” Though it is certainly true that the response of the attendance at each of the three sessions ranged from a minimum of 45 up to, at some points, nearly 100. Further, The Spectrum’s reporter chose to focus only on those comments from the audience that we re criticakof the conference as a whole, a small minority of those who spoke. Finally, once again Bruce Beyer was given the last word, stating his view in elegant nad intellectually persuasive terms: “it sucked.” Of course, the main issue here is whether a university, of all places, can legitimately sponsore discussion on critically important matters over which inevitably there will be a range of views, some of including, for that which The Spectrum and others matter, me will disapprove of. If the editor of The Spectrum doesn’t understand why such discussion is both important and legitimate, it is too late to explain it to him. However, 1 fo wish to elaborate on an admittedly secondary point. In fact, the conference was decidely anti-war in its overall emphasis. Three papers were given, two of which were vigorously anti-war in all respects. The third paper, while not questioning the underlying premises of U.S. policy, was critical of it on pragmatic grounds. Of the five discussants of the papers, three were unreservedly anti-war in their orientation, and the other two, while more conservative, could not simply be characterized as “pro-war”.

The fact The Spectrum does not have the $10,000 that is owed to them by SA must surely be causing a cash flow problem for the paper, therefore affecting the quality and size of the paper. This again affects all students at this school who read The Spectrum (which should be 24,579). Freddie, after reading about your “plight" with Mott and Co. and seeing how you have acted irresponsibly in your position only leaves me to say, that if you left office tomorrow it would not be soon enough. David Penzell Suggestions on SCATE To the Editor. The Spectrum Chairman MiJJonzi speaks To the Editor. 1 am taking this opportunity to comment upon the proposed open meetings between students and the Council of the University. There seems to be a (nisconceptioif as to the role of the Council, the students, and the administration in the proceedings of the Council. First, all Council members are appointed by the Governor with the exception of the student member who is in attendance as a regular member by statute. Dr. Ketter is present at our meetings by invitation. He provides the Council with information about current events and matters of policy requiring action by the Council. From time to time other members of the administration are invited by the Council to present problems or points of view which will enlighten the Council as to their activities. Although the student representative is in attendance to provide the Council with student requests of points of view, we have in the past invited other students to address the Council where this was deemed necessary in order for the members to properly perform their functions. This wjll no doubt occur again when there in need' for such representation in addition to that provided for by the student member of the Council. In order to provide maximum opportunity for students to express their views directly to the Council, a format was devised for an open meeting periodically with Council members. An agenda was worked out with the student representative of the Council and for the first such session six persons expressed a desire to appear. These meetings were to enable Council members to hear the views of students first hand and in open session in order to provide the Council members with as much student input as possible. This still remains our sincere desire. that a possible It is unforunate misunderstanding has aborted this attempt by the Council at this time. Robert I. Millonzi Chairman, College Council Quality To the Editor I would like to commend the editoral staff of The Spectrum for the overall quality of the paper during the current academic year. I have found its campus news coverage and its editorial analysis, on the whole, to be, more timely, germane, cogent, and T L literate than ever before in my nine years at UB. Please accept my congratulations and my hope that the substantial improvement you have made thus far will continue. - SCATE as scheduled. I purpose that restarted under the following terms which the interests of student, faculty, and the administration: All faculty must participate but may decline publication at the time SCATE is administered; SA is to guarantee the error-free scheduling of evaluations with sufficient advance notice to faculty (forms to be filled out not later than two weeks before the last day of classes); the computer processing be prompt so that publication occur within 4-6 weeks; the SCATE form be revised for simpler marking and the output be much clearer and labelled; a simpler version of the SCATE results (only a few key questions) be published as a student handbook, while the complete results be given to the teacher; and, most importantly, a task-force to consider how to promote the use of SCATE by students. Four colleges (RCC, CMS, CB, CH) have been using such a system for two years. The problem we face is encouraging student use. Faculty participation has never been a problem. Scheduling and distribution of forms has been an occasional problem, interested students and faculty are invited to examine our forms, procedures and results to see if our small-scale system can be adopted for a University-wide SCATE. Howard G. Foster Associate Dean, School of Management tyrmiilljst no .sno JesJatil 9(jJ article (10/6/78) about public access to and faculty participation in a revived SCATE did not properly emphasize previous practices which resulted in published SCATES of very limited usefulness to students and faculty. Student access issues are moot if the published report is a year late, incomplete, contains much data of no interest to students, is difficult to fill out and most difficult to read and interpret.

This concern was expressed by the International Coalition at their General Assembly meetings held on Friday, September 15,1978 and Thursday. October 12, 1978, The Steering Committee of the Coalition has been directed to make this concern known to members of the Student Association Senate and students. In the course of the discussion on the SA constitution, the members of the Coalition pointed out the fact that the present constitution has provisions for Commuter Affairs Coordinator, International Affairs Coordinator, and a Minority Student Affairs Coordinator. All of them automatically become members of the 14 member SA Executive Committee. These positions are elected by their constituencies except for Commuter Affairs Coordinator which is appointed by the President, According to a draft of the new constitution prepared by Karl Schwartz, all of the abovementioned coordinator positions would be eliminated and so also the present rote assigned to them as members of the SA Executive Committee, Presently, most of the members of the SA Executive Committee responsible for different functions are elected directly by the students at large. In the new constitution drafted by Schwartz, these functions will be carried out by appointees of the SA President, The members of the International Coalition maintain that this change cannot improve the accountability of the SA Executive Committee members to the student body. All it would accomplish is to make everyone accountable to the SA President alone. The Coalition members believe that despite the intended purpose of improving the SA’s functioning Guest Opinion On racism by C. Conner Third World Student Association An ideology deeply rooted in American culture is racism. The ideology of racism is the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities. This determinant can be valued in terms of how well, in this society, people belonging to one race or another do. Consequently, it is possible to talk of one race as being superior to another, according to this argument. In the U.S. the superior race is the white race which is fundamentally of European decent Caucasians. It is necessary to investigate the economic basis of this ideology the working conditions affecting minority groups, the use of this ideology in the job market and who are those profitting from such a situation. Among the minorities, there Is a concentration of Blacks in the central cities, as distinct from suburbs. Statistics show that 58 percent of all Blacks live in the central cities of large urbanized areas, and only 11 percent in the urban fringes of these areas. Among the white population only 28 percent live in central cities while 29 percent live in the urban fringes. In fact, for more than fiffenn year, Black people have been more urbanized than whites. The living conditions of U.S. inner cities can be characterized as ghetto areas, i.e. dilapidated houses, lack of school services, absence of quality education, no recreational areas, police brutality and the like. — Yet, Blacks are disproportionately represented in the job market of urban areas. Of the 96 percent of Blacks employed, fundamentally as wage and salaried workers, almost half are in the lowest paid and generally most undesirable categories farm labor, domestic and service workers. Among the blue collar workers Blacks constitute only 39.9 percent usually in the most hazardous and low paying jobs. In the white collar professions the percentage is 13.2. Black penetration in professional careers is only I percent among engineers, lawyers and judges, and only 2 percent among physicians and dentists. On the other hand, two thirds of the white people, in this country, are either capitalists, in the middle classes or in the upper layer of the working class. Lack of income does not necessarily mean inability to survive. It nevertheless imposes limitations for those who would like to improve their lot. Discrimination, fostered by a racist ideology, in access to employment is the most severe hardship afflicting the urban minorities (Blacks, Puerto Ricans, Native Americans etc.). By practice, minorities are the last hired and first fired from jobs! Official statistics show that over the past quarter of this century the rate of unemployment among non-whites has been twice that of whites. These statistics do not include the unemployed youth of fourteen and fifteen years range, those who looked for jobs and have now stopped or those partially employed, the inclusion of which will surely widen the discrepancies. Hiring practices are clearly based on the great American racist ideology separate but effective exclusion of students from the Student Association's day-to-day functioning. Based on the history, the President is usually elected by approximately 1000 students less than 10 percent of the undergraduate student population. In addition, the President has only a one year term and he/she usually does not run for a second term. As a result, the President can do anything for the interest or disinterest of.students without fear of being not re-elected. Hence, to put such a great power in the hands of the president alone, could create a dictatorship in the Student Government and students will be more alienated from their - government. Finally, the International Coalition General Assembly praised the SA Executive Committee action to turn down the draft constitution prepared by Karl Schwartz but to entrust the task of a new constitution to a committee of the Student Association Senate. The General Assembly also concerned about The Spectrum's power to determine the outcome of the election in the past. In addition, based on the past record. The Spectrum did npt always succeed to endorse the best candidate available. The General Assembly suggested to The Spectrum that they be neutral and be a good student newspaper by representing an accurate, balance and neutral news. . .and let the student body choose the SA elected officials by their own judgement without the influence of an outside power. The General Assembly also recommends that the students be aware of The Spectrum's power and suggests that they vote for a candidate after they have elvaluated carefully the issues. “Let the SA President and officers be representatives of the students instead of representatives of The Spectrum.” The General Assembly concluded.

The opening line to a very beautiful song but, according to some, a frightening thought when speaking of Richard B, Tucker, counselor at large for the Commission for the Visually Handicapped in New York State. You now know who he is but not what he is. He is best described by his constituents in following way. Mr. Tucker is ruthless, insensitive, unsympathetic to the blind and, above all, nothing more than an over-grown bully.” Oh Mr. T.. how can I argue that you aren’t all that they say you are? These adjectives conjure up all the ruthlessness of Attila the Hurr, the insensitivity of Edgar Allen Poe; and the sympathy exhibited by Hitler towards the Jews. My God! It boggles the mind to find them all alive and well in Richard “The Bully” Tucker. I never really saw the monster within the man but then what can you expect? I’m blind. Yes, Richard B., I find you very “realistic” and the anything but patronizing. But, then again, I wasn't looking for patronage but only sound and honest advice. People who speak of insensitivity know nothing of this “dog eat dog” world. Woe be it for me that I should impune the integrity of men. But, IF you are all of the above, then you have a been man in this world of failure. These would-be assassins have immortalized you in the hearts of men.

Racism, a simplistic ideology, is nevertheless a powerful one. The extent of its power far exceeds the boundaries and practices of this country alone. It provides a world view which has and still very does explain the historical and economic phenomena pertinent not only to Blacks in America but to Blacks in South Africa and elsewhere. Still racism stregthens itself by permeating white workers’ minds and to some degree the minds of non-white peoples themselves for, then, racism easily justifies the conditions non-whites are made to bear. Minorities are seen as not just victims but also the culprits of their own destiny. There is need to combat racism as a false ideology. The government strategy in the past was to force integration and retain separation. Integration, however well supported, does not begin to deal with the roots of the problem. Reforms cannot eradicate a problem that in inherent in our profit oriented system. Conditions that caused the uprising of the 60s are clearly escalating and with the actual economic deteroration they are getting worse. Neither Blacks nor whites benefit from an ideology used to increase the rate of profit of big business. It is necessary to both. Black and white workers to oppose it. For a society divided along race lines never develop relations that Would make intocan a community of good neighbors. Note: This year's Third World Week (November 14-19) will deal with the conditions of minorities in the V.S. and its relationship to conditions prevailing in the Third World.

He went on to say that “Private beliefs. . .have no logical relationship to criteria rooted in such a conception of competence and performance. He concluded by urging the President to affirm, in a policy statement, the blanket position that a person’s private beliefs wil not be permitted to threaten employment ” rights. To put it succinctly, UUP holds to the position that as long as an employee (or for that matter, a student) does the job they signed up for, it is none the University’s business what they think about or do outside of the University. , We think that’s an important “comment”.

William S. Allen Professor of History Presidentelect. UVP �dayfriday fri dayfriday fri d ay fri d < feedback i —t Abortion and political systems To the Editor. Recent controversy over the coverage of abortion in the Student Health Insurance policy prompts a few questions in my mind. The issue seems to center around whether or not those morally objecting to abortion should be obligated to pay the one-dollar coverage cost. I wonder, then, how much of their Federal tax dollars these objectors withhold so as not to support the production of nuclear weapons, which can cause suffering, disfigurement, and death. Do they hold back an additional amount to keep from supporting unreported government-sponsored experimentation in human subjects with untested drugs? How much of their State tax dollars do they withhold so as not to support State institutions which have been known to use such practices as locking children in dark isolation to “cure” them of their mental retardation, or using tear gas on inmates as a method of punishment? Or aren’t any of these violations of their moral beliefs? I realize that abortion is an issue over which it is very easy to become emotional, but one must also remember that our political system requires that we pay for many practices to which we morally object. And thinking that refusing to supply financial means to those who want abortions will ' prevent them is up the creek with the type of thinking that keeps sex education and birth control out of our public school system. Without such knowledge, women too often find themselves pregnant, while at the same time they are physically, emotionally, and financially unable to have a child. Without financial means to terminate the pregnancy, they are forced to risk their physical well-being by going to an illegal “butcher,” or they will have to wait until they have enough money, which may have them waiting until they are between four and six months pregnant. At that point, they will have to have a saline abortion, which is an induced miscarriage, or a hysterotomy, which is a Cesarian Section. She may opt to go full term and either keep a child she is not prepared to raise, or go through the emotional trauma of giving her child up for adoption, but if someone really wants to have an abortion, she will get one, any way she can. I don’t think any of these options are within the moral framework of any of the protesters. What I believe is the only true “moral” solution is to guarantee each woman an adequate understanding of birth control before she needs it. If and until that can be accomplished the decision of abortion must be left in the hands of the pregnant woman, and the financial and moral burden carried by all. L. Sidare Libraries: use 'em II To the Editor. O I must comment about some inaccurate 3 reporting in Mr. Scuman’s October 18 article in The Spectrum headlines “Faculty Insensitivity Cited As 2 Major Cause of High Attrition.” Research findings cited were only to provide 00 background material to the Study Group and had absolutely no direct connection with what goes on at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Yet. “Faculty insensitivity has been cited as a major cause of a disturbingly high drop-out rate here" (italics added) according to the lead paragraph! Mr. Schuman’s article also carried a series of unadopted recommendations that had not even been considered, or even read, by all members of the Study Group. Pointed out carefully to Mr. Schuman at least twice was the fact that the Study Group was only considering a draft report, and no recommendations of any kind have as yet been adopted. The Study Group will hopefully develop recommendations that relate to the local situation. It is obvious that we cannot proceed too far without accurate data about this University as to why students leave, why they remain, where they go, and if, indeed, they intend to return. g- ® Mr. Schuman had To the Editor. There have been several letters recently in the paper giving negative views on our library system. Although those students may have had reasons to complain one must remember the volume of business that occurs in the library. I personally have not encountered any problems in the Science and Engineering Library and believe that those people working there should receive some recognition for th;ir -ooperation, friendliness and efficiency Every worker that I have met helped to find the information I was looking for. 1 wonder how many students know how to use this fine library system? The main reference desk is a fine place to ask for help if you are unable to find something by yourself. The reference personnel can usually guide you to the area which can give one the needed information. It would be interesting to find out how many students have taken material out of the library. The process of checking out material may not be that simple but the people at the circulation desk will help those students that are confused. One of the most important parts of our library is the speed at which new journals and materials are available for circulation. For those students who still are unable to find material, they should try Inter-Library loan which can check with many other libraries to see if the material is available. Although there smay be some small problems, as students we should use our library system to our benefit. John Bernard Emergency squad call To the Editor. The Student Emergency First-Aid Squad is not “hurting due to student disinterest”, as was stated in The Spectrum Friday, September 31. Rather, after running but one ad in The Spectrum we had 1,6 interested and qualified people call, but we still need more. This emergency squad will be made up of students who have had Advanced First-Aid or E.M.I. training, and will handle any medical emergency which may occur on the Amherst campus until more qualified help arrives. Squad members will carry voice pocket pagers in both the Ellicott and Governor’s complexes, and will be available whenever needed. To belong a student need not live on the Amherst campus, but rather must only be willing to stay in either dorm complex during the time period that he is on call. UB, the largest SUNY school, has no type of student emergency service while other SUNY schools, such as Buffalo State, Albany, Binghamton, Stony Brook, and Oswego have been running such groups for several years. (Buffalo State, Albany, Binghamton, and Stony Brook all have student-run ambulance services.) There will be an organizational meeting on Wednesday, October 25, at 5 p.m. in lOCapen Hall, Amherst Campus. Any qualified person who is interested but cannot attend this meeting is asked to call the SA office at 636-29SO, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-4;30 p.m.. Doug Floccare Director, Student Emergency First-Aid Squad Negligent soccer coverage, cont. To the Editor. This letter is in response to Sports Editor Mark Meltzer’s October 18th article entitled “A Message to Our Readers.” First of all Mr. Meltzer, it was very gracious of you to begin your article with an apology for the poor coverage of the UB Soccer team this apology accepted. But, how do you then have year the audacity to accuse the coach and team of immature and irresponsible behavior. Furhter, on what do you base the unfounded allegation that the coach and staff have refused cooperation with your - paper? I have played soccer under head coach Sal Esposito for four years now, and in all that time he, as well as the team members have never had any problems cooperating with The Spectrum staff. The coach and team players are quite aware that not every game can be covered. But let’s be realistic, out of the ten games played so far only about four have been written up. Mr. Gollop’s coverage of our last game, which incidentally got a write up of three whole paragraphs, consisted of his calling the coach at his home late at night to find out the score. If your reporter’s academic load is so heavy that his only free time Is late at night perhaps he should not be covering the team at all. To so violate the privacy of the coach’s home life seems to me a shirking of journalistic courtesy and professional professionalism in general. You also stated that your reporter has been made to feel unwelcome by the team as well as having been accused of being a jinx. Mr. Meltzer I’ve been to all the games and it has been my experience that the team members have never done anything to intimidate him or make him feel unwelcome. The truth of the matter is that the team members are very much aware of the importance of his presence and the significance of The Spectrum’s coverage of the games. As to your reference to Coach Esposito’s refusal to cooperate with Bruce Gollop, this is untrue. In a recent conversation with Coach Esposito I asked him about this matter. He responded that Gollop's allegations were completely unfounded and without substance. You also mentioned that the team was not “mature enough to cooperate with the press after a loss as well as a win.” But the question here is not one of maturity. You seem to be beating around the bush Mr. Meltzer, making excuses for a lack of professional responsibility. The point is that the game should be written up win, lose, or draw. Whether our present record is good or bad is immaterial (to the fact that you have been personally negligent in your understandably confused areas common to all large universities with our specific unit; background information findings did not apply to this institution and we remain in the process of trying to ascertain what does happen here. The research citations with which he was provided came primarily from an article by Timothy J. Pantages and Carol F.

Even the research cited does not bear out another statement by the reporter that “if a student has success socially, the group found (italics added) he will usually succeed academically.” The Study Group has absolutely no data on which to base such a strange conclusion. A reference in the Research section of the Draft Preliminary Report, referring to social life at college, does include this statement: “Research, however, does not provide a clear picture of the effects of participation in these activities on attrition.” and certainly reveals no correlation between “success socially” and academic success. From my admittedly subjective viewpoint, over-socializing has traditionally been one reason why students neglect their studies and end up dropping out of school. Mr. Schuman calls welcome attention to the Study Group and its efforts to date. Unfortunately, he also attributed to that body some general comments about research findings elsewhere that were only intended as background data, and presently unverified at this campus. Meanwhile, we welcome any and all reactions and hope The Spectrum continues to report on Study Group efforts. We expect to be in business for a while, and it is important to again emphasize that our final report is not even due until the end of the second term. Richard A.

I like to recognize the outstanding effort on the part of the librarian staff at the S.E.L. (Science and Engineering Library) despite theri apparent bad image. The people at the circulation desk are always helpful and efficient. The reference desk is very helpful when you are new to the library and will go out of their way to get you the material you need. The inter-library loan is evidence of their helpfulness. This is where books from other libraries are loaned to the S.E.L. for your use.

Declining in use UCS drops support of 2741 terminals Departments that currently own or lease IBM 2741 terminals were notified some time ago that University Commputing Services (UCS) would be dropping support of 2741 terminals on the Univac 1106 and that a different type of terminal would be required in order to continue using Tweet or Demand (the two subsystems on the Univac 1106 available for time-sharing applications). The last day in which IBM 2741 terminals can be used is October 20,1978. The decision to drop IBM 2741 support derived from the Computing Center’s need for advancing to the next level of the Univac operating system. It was determined that substantial development effort on the part of software personnel would be required in order to include 2741 support in the new operating system and after careful consideration, UCS decided not to devote vast amounts of system or human resources to a terminal which has been declining in use and popularity over the past several years. While the IBM 2741 offers several attractive features (print quality for one, cost is another), there have been other terminals on the market for quite some time, including one from IBM which has effectively obsoleted the 2740 and 2741 terminals, which offer today’s time-sharing user higher printing speeds, faster data transmissions and improved reliability and serviceability. Note that this notice does not concern people who use IBM 2741 terminals on the CDC Cyber 173. There are no immediate or future plans to drop support of 2741s on this system. a home away from home IF YOU WANT TO RELAX AND HAVE A GOOD TIME ANACONE'S INN (A Horn* Away From Home) IS THE PLACE TO DO IT - We have no Hootin, Holloring, Yelling, Screaming or Loud Music.

Remember the smell of fresh air, the soft gurgle of a sparkling stream, the rush of the falls? Now is the time to enjoy autumn at its peak and take a long breath before winter’s chill and frost make its icy introduction. i Details remain but— by Alan Cohen Spectrum Staff Writer Pressure from the Student Association (SA) Commuter Council and University officials has led the state to appropriate $18,000 for at least 300 lockers to be built on the first and second floors of Amherst’s Capen Hall. The lockers, which were initially proposed last year, will not be constructed until specifics such as the type and are maintenance of the lockers worked out according to Commuter Council Director Chris Weckerle. The problem of what type of locker should be installed stems from the need to maintain the new storage facilities. Different types of suggested lockers include; coin return and coin retention in addition to renting lockers for a fee for limited time period or having locker tenders for security. Weckerle said the Commuter Council wanted coin return key where the money is lockers returned when the locker is to coin as opened where the money is retention not returned when the key is inserted. The lockers will require additional funding for up-keep and maintenance. The University has refused to allow Maintenance Services to be responsible for the lockers according the Weckerle. She said University officials explained that the Faculty Student Association (FSA) must •operate and maintain the new lockers.

Weckerle believes that Krakowiak “gave the issue strong support and played a role in getting the needed appropriation.” The Commuter Council, which is a student organization sponsored by the Student Association (SA). seems to be suffering a membership drop Weckerle believes that commuters are alienated from certain aspects 0 f the University and that successful addition of lockers will help the situation. She said, “It will hopefully bridge the traditional gap between the University and commuting students.” Weckerle felt that this was a true victory saying, “It was only through the action of the Commuter Council that brought about this service.” -c—1 ' ST.

Carl Sferrazza has devoted nine years of his life to the study of the White House, U.S. Presidents and, most recently. First Ladies. Sferrazza s interest began at an early age with his fourth-grade discovery of the White House Weekly Reader. A “mom and dad” gift set of The Presidency whetted his appetite and the 10-year old was on his way. His up-to-date private library boasts a collection of original autographs and letters from former Presidents and First Ladies, as well as many books, magazine articles, photographs and documents. A New York City native, Sferrazza has used the “metropolitan” environs of New York as a tool in his studies. Many Presidents and First Ladies come to the city, he said, allowing him the chance to meet them face to face. ‘Sugar-coated ladies' The history expert is also a sculptor Sferrazza has created a collection of 80 four-inch clay figures of U.S. Presidents and their wives. His work has been exhibited in Federal Hall in New York City and was included in a bicentennial film shown in - Philadelphia. In the past two years, Sferrazza has focused on First Ladies. The First Ladies of the past have exerted tremendous influence on the nation from behind the scenes of the presidential arena, he remarked. Carl is currently working on a book to be titled The Public and Private First Lady. The history buff’s all-time favorite “sugar-coated ladies” his pet term are Dolly Madison, Eleanor Roosevelt and Jackie Kennedy Onassis. “Dolly Madison was a great hostess who set a fast pace and style that many First Ladies have tried to follow,” he commented. Clearly the leader - - * in in outspoken political activity, Eleanor Roosevelt was the most controversial, he continued. Ultimate and supreme, by far the most glorified of the First Ladies Sferrazza worships Jacquelyn Onassis. “She is refinement; she is class itself and nobody has ever outdone her in that,” he enthused. Photos of the “O” are plastered all over the walls of Sferrazza’s second floor “Presidential Suite” in Wilkeson Quad. His first encounter with Jackie was exceptional. Inquiring about an antique Manurva clock which she had recently acquired for the White House, he took the First Lady by surprise with his knowledge of specific details. She dramatically took off her famous sun glasses and warmly acknowledged her “beaming” fan. ‘Foulest mouth The student-historian makes a point of keeping in touch with as many of the former First Ladies as possible. On occasion, he has even sent them hand-fashioned figurines of their own likenesses. Sferrazza once visited Teddy Roosevelt’s daughter, Alice Roosevelt Longworth. “She is an eccentric little old woman who has the foulest mouth and the funniest stories,” he related. During his visit, Sferrazza noticed that both the woman and her home were nearly a century old and Longworth joked that it seems like she is falling apart with the house. Sferrazza has developed a personal theory of presidential personalities “There is a dual image of positive and negative within each one. A lot of — Presidents were real bastards and a lot of First Ladies were real social-hungry bitches,” he explained. Although Sferrazza jokes about his preoccupation with Presidents and their First Ladies, he would, like to be considered a serious historian. “I’m proud to be an American and I have a real sense of my American heritage,” he proudly stated. Sferrqzza’s future plans include becoming active in the political field his dream is to go to law school, return to New York City and run for Congress. — Student-Historian Carl Sferrazza Loves 'the sugar-coated ladles ‘Pillow talk’ power Several Buffalo women made their marks in history by Carl Sferrazza Staff Writer Spectrum Grover Cleveland and Millard Fillmore are two names UB students are fai,rly familiar with. Millersport Highway changes to Grover Cleveland Highway going towards Main Street along which rests the sleepy Grover Cleveland shopping area, while the Millard Fillmore tag dominates hospitals, colleges and laundromats. Yet in this age of women’s liberation, Buffalo’s two First Ladies, Abigail Powers Fillmore and Frances Folsom Cleveland, have become faded portraits hidden in the catacombs of the White House’s gallery of President's wives. Certainly not the great vocalists of liberty like Eleanor Roosevelt or Abigail Acorns nor trendsetting jetsetters like Jackie Kennedy, Abigail and Frances did have “pillow talk” influences on their hiisbands as well as influences on the nation. Both ladies were from Buffalo Abigail lived most of her life here, and although Frances was born in Folsomdale, a town south of Buffalo founded by her grandfather, she lived most of her life in this city. Buffalo chic Abigail Powers Fillmore was born in Saratoga County’s Stillwater where her intellectual parents instilled in her a love and appreciation of books at a very early age. As a teenager, Abigail became a schoolteacher when the family moved to the untamed flats of Western New York. There, in one of her classes, she met the illiterate 19 year old Millard Fillmore, and fell in love with him. Eventually, the 22 year old teacher married her eager student later enabling her to make the rare claim that she had taught ,a President of the United States to read and write. Contrary to convention, Abigail kept her job as a teacher in Fast Aurora after her ibarriage and her literary interests continued. By 1830, with a small son, the Fillmores moved into the heart of Buffalo, then a city of 8000. The family bought a six-room house two blocks from Main Street. It wasn’t until after the Erie Canal was built became a growing that Buffalo and important city. Its chic society was wealthy, wordly, well-read and polished. Abby pursued her love of music by playing the harp and piano, attending the many recitals, concerts, dances, plays, and lectures and blending well with Buffalo’s “in" crowd. Fillmore’s Abigail also patronized music and musicians. She brought her harp, piano and guitar to her new library and accompanied the singing of her daughter Mary, an 18-year old beauty who helped Mama Fillmore serve as hostess. legal and political careers progressed well, and he -often bought his wife cartons of prosaic melancholic books to fill her shelves. Into the arena Concert-goer Suddenly thrust into the public as first the wife of the Whig nominee for Vice-President, then as the wife of the Vice President, and upon Zachary Taylor’s death, First Lady, Abigail developed a sharp political sense. Upon entering the White House, Abigail was shocked to find that there was not even a Bible or dictionary there. Industrious “Mrs. F” set about pinholing her husband and Congressmen for a book appropriation. She received her money and filled an upstairs oval room with fine literary works, including complimentary best-sellers from her friends William Makepeace Thackery and Washington Irving. many attended Abigail concerts in public and caused a Jackie O style uproar when her life olive green and silver harnessed coach pulled up to a recital hall. She was an honored guest at Lind’s concert in Jenny Washington and later entertained the singer at one of her famous Friday night dinners. Abby also had the “great health” award among First Ladies. She installed the first bathtub in the White House, and it was rumored that the President and First Lady bathed regularly with Corinthian Oil of cream and concentrated extract of eglantine. Chefs will forever adore the lady for installing an iron cook-stove in the White House kitchens to replace the huge fireplaces where cooking was previously done. Ever correct, Abigail felt it her duty to attend the inauguration of her husband’s successor, Franklin Pierce.

Grover Cleveland, a beer-bellied frequenter of Buffalo’s dusty saloons, became a law partner of an Oscar Folsom of Buffalo. At the birth of his partner’s daughter, Grover was overjoyed. He immediately ran out and bought a baby carriage for the little Frances, whom he called “Frank.” Oscar Folsom died in 1875 and bachelor Cleveland became Frances’ guardian. At the time Buffalo was a mix of rowdy saloons, factory smoke and conservative New England culture and commerce, with an endless stream of freight carried by the Erie Canal. Frances was sent flowers, put through college and sent to Europe by "Uncle Cleve.” He smiled and replied to his sister’s inquiry, “Oh, I’ll be married, I’m just waiting for my -Sheer CELEBRATING THE FAITH: You might have been wondering what the wooden shack in the Squire Hall fountain area for the past week really is.

The popular tune from the Gilbert and Sullivan production of Mikado, He’s Going To Many Yum-Yum, was being hummed as all America watched “Yum-Yum.” She was tall, thin, had a perfect smile and warm brown eyes with a luxuriant head of brown hair to match, but most of all, she was young. Never before or since has a wedding been of such great interest to millions. John Philip Sousa conducted an electrifying Wedding March, as the sweet young thing entered the Blue Room on the hand of the fat and forty President. The Blue Room walls were banked with magnificent floral displays and varieties of colors and designs. When the vows were exchanged, a 21 gun salute sounded from the distant Navy Yard and church bells rang all over the city. The curiosity was intense, as crowds gathered on the White House lawns, with women who copied “Frank’s” hairstyle. Amid the density of the floral jungle Frances handled her 15-foot satin train with great dexterity, and as the 30 invited guests sipped champagne, the new First Lady — With Trustees’ Guidelines Committee to evaluate should he decide to extend term Guidelines established by the SUNY Board of Trustees mandate periodic evaluation of the work of campus presidents who wish to be considered for an extension of their appointments. Under those procedures, President Ketter will be subject to such evaluation if he decides, in September of 1979, that he wishes to be considered for an extension of his term of office. The Guidelines of the Trustees provide that a president wishing to be so evaluated shall be reviewed by an ad hoc review committee consisting of a representative of the Chancellor; the chairman of the faculty senate, the chairman of the student association; and a representative of the administrative staff selected by the President. The Guidelines make each of those persons solely responsible for ascertaining and reporting to the ad hoc committee the sentiments of the constituency which he or she represents, and limits the access of constituents to the ad hoc committee to this single mandated evaluation. The Guidelines specifically enjoin that there shall be no further committees and there shall be no voting. The Ad Hoc Faculty Senate Committee on Evaluation Procedures has been charged to make recommendations for the guidance of the chairman of the faculty senate in the discharge of this responsibility. The Committee will welcome suggestions from any member of the faculty as to how the chairman of the faculty senate may most effectively ascertain and report faculty sentiment, bearing in mind that the Guidelines prohibit any voting process, as well as the establishment of further committees.

Anderson waved his magical wand to conjure up images of 'Aqualung' and 'Heavy Horses' that never faded or compromised on the energy of Tull gone-by.

Cunningham’s subtitling of the piece as a lyric dance is apt. The movement displayed here by the company was as cooling breeze. However, pieces like gentle as "Sounddance” -and “Squaregame” are rather pointless ensemble pieces. There was no attempt at communication on the part of the dancers with the audience or with any of the other dancers. Their listlessness and lack of energy were underwhelming. One question that should be asked is, if Merce Cunningham’s sole concern is the creation of beauty, why is he so prominently figured in his pieces? How does stardom fit into pure aestheticism? Dance can easily become an art like television; of wide popularity but minimal quality. Art and beauty do not solely exist for the sake of existing. They are creations and must have a reason. The reason is nowhere evident in Merce Cunningham’s work. _ . , ° . “ * " _ mezzanine lounge. - eYierOU: tn Ruffa\n fie. UcaCCC-l — , MV .- .. * - II k2£IAN & Ueav«n 1 /Sail MKLL returns...

PARLATO I 1 Speaks French, German, Spanish and Italian. �Literati i \ Photography: a social concern by Lester Zipris We live in an age of retreat. In this time of growing reaction, we find it increasingly difficult to retain a sense of human proportion, Our art, like so much of our culture, seems to urge an aesthetic withdrawal from live concerns of daily life. Minimalism, postmodernism, avant garde art, all stem from a rejection of the broadly based cultural life of the nation. However true it is that American culture it a backwash, a dreary wasteland of simplistic and simple-minded garbage, it is precisely that culture that demands to be explored, examined, and analyzed. Education and understanding must be the goal. An art that does not reasonably hope to reach a constituency is an odiously reactionary activity politically and socially regardless of its artistic merit It is this flaw, this withdrawal into an intellectualized, theoretical remoteness, that mars On Photography (Delta, $4.45, pb), Susan Sontag's recent book. Sontag attempts to define and refine a sense of photography as a way of seeing and recording the world that is, ordering one’s relationship to the facts and facets of one’s existence. I am not particularly interested in arguing the point. But I will disagree sharply with her denigration of the socially significant role that photography can and has played in expanding our awareness of and sensitivity to the world in which we must live. Ever the darling of the aestheticians and theoreticians, Sontag postulates the basic function of the photograph as “the discovery of beauty.” It is her contention that "the aestheticizing tendency of photography is such that the medium which conveys distresses ends by neutralizing it. Cameras miniaturize experience, transform history into spectacle. As much as they create sympathy, photographs cut sympathy, distance the emotions.” For all 1 know or care, Sontag may be right on a remote, artistic level. But her theory does not always speak to the experience. The intellectualizing that follows the immediate, visceral response may provide distance, the neutralizing withdrawal; in this case, we are dealing not with a quality inherent in the medium itself but with a defense mechanism bred within us by the circumstances of our culture. The central question is this; What happens to us in the moments between our initial perception of the photograph and the beginnings of our intellectual articulation? A more progressive examination of photography as a human-oriented art is provided by a number of recent publications, principally by Dover Books and a recently established firm, Da Capo Press. Dover, one of the few publishers willing to invest in the preservation of important but off-center works, has for several years been reprinting photography books that present to a new audience the works of many important early masters of the medium, among them, Alfred Stieglita, Lewis Mine, Berenice Abbott, Jacob Riis and Arnold Rothstein. I've read somewhere that one of Dover’s managing editors is a photography buff; that fact -explains the prominence of photo books in their catalogue. If this is true, we may understand the breadth and scope of Dover’s photographic concerns. Stieglitz, in his periodical Camera Work, remained influenced by early theories of photography as an advancement, a modern improvement, upon painting. Looking through Camera Work: A Pictorial - — — - Phoebe —continued . . arts; but this does not mean the academe environment is not stifling.

The one-to-one basis of creative individual to creative receptor is and more becoming more — • * * * —continued from . . p*9€ good teacher stays out of the way and a bad one gets in the way.” The problem of teaching involving the compatibility between the University and the arts was further explored by Professor degree for Feldman. "You get the facts you know,” he criticized, “the University is simply not the place to rock the boat. You can’t teach arts in a university structure where it is teachers who are the equivalent of ‘good.’ You can teach the arts it’s not so much a question of the University and the arts, but who is teaching it.” His proposal to abolish the granting of tenure to professors in creative departments was applauded. Robert Creeley further emphasized "tenure’s security hinders curiosity.” The evening's most impressive panelist was John Cage, his twinkling eyes and elfin charm belieing his forthright manner. A college dropout, he believes a student must learn from himself after he learns from others. "You should have a university one doesn’t wish to graduate from,” he emphasized (borrowing a notion from Buckminster Fuller), "education should be an on-going experience.” At the symposium’s close, the pervading sense was that the audience felt questions were fielded from the audience. The names and reputations of these artists drew them to the symposium, and they expected a discussion possessing the creative energy of their artist. What they got was an hour and a half of stimulating theorizing. Cage summed up the event nicely, "Panel discussions were started by artists not universities. universities hold Normally, speeches. So, just the fact that we’re here shows a certain amount of compatibility.” > ... —FIOSS JOHN CAGE: Avant garde composer with his charm and impressed forthright manner. impossible. The University and the arts should be a basis of hope.” Problems such as the departmentalizing of the arts, the difference between school standards and those of "the real world,” and the assumption that arts can be taught were cited often. Cunningham composed A stressed that the arts cannot be “taught.” "You can’t teach dancing. A student must learn by and the formal experience teaching situation allows the student to experience (it) in a limiting way.” He concluded, "A « New books at UGL: Perjury: the Hiss-Chambers Case, by Allen Weinstein; To Dance, by Valery Panov; Scribble, Scribble by Nora Ephron; The Woman's Room, by Marilyn French; and Montgomery Clift: A Biography, by Patricia Bos worth. from page 17— her voice The old tunes thrilled the crowd. "Never Letting Go,” “Don’t Let Me Down,” with accentuated backbeat, the obligatory "Poetry Man,” and of course "Let the Good Times Roll," all brought roars of approval, enough for an encore (only one) of “No Show Tonight," a subtly ironic closing. Canadian balladier Dan Hill opened the show much to the delight of the ladies. His pleasing yet powerful voice appealed to the emotions ashe sang about his parents, past loves and prostitutes. Hill’s ballads are all very similar to his hit "Sometimes When We Touch" but he told different stories (some of which were as long as the songs themselves) for each one. At least he’s sincere. The only trouble was that sincerity just dripped right off the stage like syrup. He got to the ladies though. They called him back for two encored 17— . .

Snow picked up her guitar for “San Francisco Bay Blues.” It served as a kind of coup-de-grace but it was still her voice they wanted to hear. It swirled like a maelstrom, soaring and plunging. It didn’t even matter what the band played behind her. Her band backed her Inconspicuously. No, all ears were attuned to that magnetic voice. Snow did some tunes from her new album “Against the Grain;” the poignant ballad for her daughter “Keep a Watch on the Shoreline," McCartney's “Every Night," and a disco “He’s Not Just Another Man,” complete with Soul Train whistling. Even that was bearable. It must have been ” Guide and Robert Doty’s Photo-Secession: Stieghu and the Fine-Arts Movement in Photography, I am repeatedly struck by the constant and continual concern with visual experiments of focus, light and composition. Even such a well-known "proletarian” subject as Stieglitz’s "The Steerage" (19H) appeared as part of a scries of photographs that present New York City as a study in the forms and lighting of the city: artistic composition takes precedence over content the human exploited by the artist. But the camera served other functions as well. Several titles in the Dover series represent attempts to capture “life as lived” during particular moments in our history. Mary Black’s Old New York in Early Photographs, Berenice Abbott’s New York In the Thirties, Jacob Riis’ How the Other Half Lives, and Arnold Rothstein’s The Depression Years all share the quality of capturing men, women and children in the act of living, of doing something intrinsically related to the quality of their world. Da Capo Press has re-issued several photo-text books that deserve their resurrection. These first works include two books first published in the aftermath of the Great Depression, Erskine Caldwell and Margaret Bourke-White’s Say, Is This the U.S.A. (1941) and Archibald MacLeish’s Land of the Free (1938). Anyone familiar with the recent history of photography is by now aware of the aesthetic control exercised by Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, and other photographers whose work originated in Farm Security Administration projects or shared thematic foci with Roy Stryker’s documentarian-recorders. But we now see in all these works (Agee and Evans’ Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, Bourke-White and Caldwell’s You Have Seen Their Faces, and the titles mentioned above, are only the most well-known) evidence of an overriding involvement with the subjects, the people whose plight is portrayed in the photography and limned by the words. F. Jack Hurley, inTTs book Portrait of a Decade: Roy Stryker and the Development of Documentary Photography in the Thirties, has preserved a great number of important FSA shots, but I think he, as does Sontag, misreads the effect of these documentary works appearing during and immediately following the tense years of the Depression. Discussing You Have Seen Their Faces, Hurley calls the book “exploitative’’ for descending “to levels of taste that would have been foreign to FSA photographers. Physical deformities of photographic sometimes played upon. Caldwell too often dwelt upon sordid details of lynchings and other wretched aspects of Negro-white relations.” How cool, how objective, this scholarly criticism! And if "real” life is sordid? The documentary photographers of the Depression years were more than just artists exploring the potential of the camera; they were concerned with exploring the breadth and depth of American life, and during the ugly, dark Depression, that means exposing the belly of the beast. Photography responsive to human themes demands to be looked into, not merely at. University Imported from Canadaby Century Importers. Inc., New Vbrk.

By acknowledging that there is a script to be followed, on stage as in life, the play satirically highlights how stereotypes must depersonalize individuals before groups can brutalize their social interaction. That the “Negroes” must be so intent on fulfilling the colonists’ stereotypes of them is as much a defensive weapon as it is an offensive one. Emotional “distance” becomes the ultimate yardstick by which each group gauges whether it is putting one over on the other. But as soon as we think we have ourselves a nice piece of satirical fluff, you’re swallowed up whole, you’re a goner. It’s all fine to be a caricature, but when that is unexpectedly peppered with the anguish of the actors’ emotions and personal convictions, you have to wonder where each statement is coming from. Is that black woman accusing her cohort of loving his victim, even as he strangled her, bitching because she’s supposed to bitch or is hers an anguish sprung from visceral emotion? Or both? You may think you know but you’re never quite sure. An audience wants to know definitely on and by what’s going unexpectedly flipping the switch between the real and the surreal, we are forced to consider what each actor has said carefully. The process is as rewarding as it is infuriating.

Lorna Hill, assistant to Chairman Saul Elkin —continued on page 24— ~0 I 'Word is out': gays on TV t by Ross Chapman In California, there's something called Proposition 6, a referendum which, when passed (and it will pass), will permit school boards to fire not only gay teachers but also any teacher seen associating with gays or who is heard defending gay rights. In Dade County, St. Paul, and Eugene, gay rights have already been rescinded. Anita Bryant, with Bible pressed to her breast, gusts across the land telling horror tales of homosexual mass murderers and homosexual conspiracies to recruit school children. And everywhere, gay activists are closing ranks for the final battle. In this atmosphere of reactionary hysteria, in this day of liberal rout and retreat, it is important to see how television has aided and abetted the present situation. Television is extremely influential in the shaping of public opinion; its role may even be central. That little box is everywhere and everyone with a vested interest speaks to us through it. Any investigation of any social phenomenon must include television. When one examines the bigotry at the base of the anti-gay movement, or indeed of any popular racist or sexist swell, one inevitably finds a belief that the target group is in some way monolithic. Bigots by definition believe that people in a particular group are all essentially the same, so that mere identification of an individual with that group justifies the bigot’s discriminatory reaction. Media aids in the creation of this condition by stereotyping its characters; all Jews are portrayed this way, all blacks that way, and all gays this other way. In a bigoted society such as our own, where segments of the population are strictly segregated from one another, resulting in a paucity of information of one group about another, the media is not only guilty of reinforcing bigotry in people’s minds, it is guilty of inculcating it in the first place. This is especially true of gays on TV. Gays are the most invisible of minorities. They are not visibly outstanding; they do not have a cohesive sub-culture; they cross all social, economic, racial and intellectual boundaries. Gay people are your milkman, the check-out girl at your supermarket, your doctor, your third-grade teacher, your favorite actor. One doesn't see many gays on TV either but this isn’t because they’re invisible; it’s because they're almost non-existent. they’re When TV does portray gays, they are not characters issues to be dealt with in baroque overtones of social relevancy and pap liberalism. One doesn’t see the screaming, mincing queens of movies but this isn’t the result of television’s humanity. Rather it is the homosexuality is risque. outcome of television's priggishness However, of late, risque means ratings and so two of TV’s hottest new "sit-sex" shows, Soap and Three’s Company, feature a gay transsexual and a straight guy posing as a gay, respectively. Mild though these roles may be, they are to be understood as toned down versions of — — Hollywood’s personified fag jokes. Occasionally, television airs special programs which “deal” with homosexuality. A recent example is last summer’s TV movie, Lt. Matlovitch i*. the U.S. Air Force, starring squirrelly Brad Douriff. The show was sympathetic, its position laudable but there was a definite tendency to reduce Matlovitch to an issue, which is definitely unfortunate. Something of the same can be said of Lamont Johnson’s That Certain Summer, but there, the dignity of actors Hal Holbrook and Martin Sheen counteracted this process. Shows like 60 Minutes, perhaps the worst news program on TV, display the same reductionism. How many times in the last five years have we seen Dan Rather or Mike Wallace babble statistics and pap analysis at us while hogging interviews with gays? Here the footage of gays is a mere supplement for Rather’s or Wallace's slick commentary. A recent and highly notable exception to all of this was the PBS special, The Word Is Out, aired on October 10. This show featured interviews with 26 gay men and women. The interviews were informal: no pointed, leading questions were asked. The people talked about themselves as the camera rolled quietly on. Among the 26 were people of all races, age groups, of divergent political and socio-economic backgrounds, expressing pften contradictory points of view. The program made no attempt to show us the homosexual. Its message was clear and true: gays are as plural as anyone else. But showing responsibility, The Word Is Out did not have a flip, whal-does-it-matter-if-your’re-gay attitude. Each person tells of oppression, of fear, of struggle. Some of these people suffered horribly just because they were gay: two were incarcerated in mental hospitals, another was dishonorably discharged from the WAC. This message was not a hyberbolic manipulation on the part of the filmmakers; some of these men and women suffered greatly, others suffered hardly at all. On the other hand, the concept of social oppression came not as the commentary of a laid-back intellectual but in the very words of someone who remembers. Social persecution here is not a position; it is a reality recalled and currently experienced. It has often been noted that true poignancy comes not from occupants of ivory towers or insular artists but from the man on the street who expresses what is immediately pressing on his gut. The words are only sometimes clever but the sentiment is so undeniably honest that no one with any sensitivity at all can fail to be moved. The Word is Out is like that. The people don't intend to be moving but they can’t help it their honesty is naturally memorable. One comment that stands out is that of an elderly gay man describing what it used to be like to be gay: “Until recent times, as a homosexual you realized three things: (1) to the doctor, you were sick; (2) to the lawyer, you were a criminal; and (3) to the minister, you were wicked.'* Things are different now. The word is out and it's been on TV. Nest week: comic relief. - �FISH FRY French Frias. Cola Slaw, RoHi h Buttar & Acom to Soup Bar.

If her mind was too worried about what was to come, it was reflected in the playing which was breathy and, once in a while, sloppy. Now, hard, rocking, droning songs like "Cook With Fire” or "Devil Delight” always give me stomach pains because my ulcer knows the tune will be boring musically, and that the singer will inflect til he or she’s blue in the face. I don’t get pains because I can’t stand rock set the record straight. Ann’s voice was controlled but wild, showing the basics of rock. This is admirable since it portrays Ann as a straight shooter, not afraid of being a naughty girl who lets her knickers down. She struts — Cheek in tongue At all rock concerts I feel like the band wants to fuck me and the audience, but since I’m only vaguely bisexual, this is most apparent when I see women perform. Of course, this is a willful rape; and though this may seem much like an oxymoron, there is a voice inside that tells me it’s true. I mean, I buy the ticket, at least once a year for a concert, and my work is reviewing concerts, which I enjoy. And since there’s a local sage who tells that all songs are about getting fucked or not getting fucked, one will get the feeling in one way or the other. “Magic Man" and "Crazy On You" get a good response because they’re rock ballads; here we come to the fuck tangential and the fuck immediate. Ann’s alliteration, her metaphor, her slow, theme-building lyrics are seducing your senses to provide the former. Then the rock music approaches the ears for a more immediate effect. These two can become mixed together. While the tongue is stuck in the cheek, since rarely is the response felt in the crotch, all this is basically true. (Sexual response is, of course, a bit stymied because the place is so public.) St. Vitus dances Prior to the Heart set, was a band that’s usually superb, but I won’t talk about Ambrosia much since they weren’t. Everything the group played, including "Holding on to Yesterday’’ appeared without improvisation, without soul. Still, it was fun because the set was of “greatest hits,” the stuff that’s probably most familfcr to the listener. But, they need to be recognized; that’s why this was done. Opening the show was Walter Egan, who insists he’s not shy by being obnoxious most of the time obnoxious without any other feeling. On stage singing "Tunnel of Love” and “Hot Summer Nights,” Egan was stiff and stolid, and while he was much better than when I saw him at the Belle Starr, he did not move smoothly. Egan’s singing voice was rough, incompatible with his very slick, Beach Boy-type songs. I blame much of this on his female back-up vocalist, who could make the \>allet star Barishnikov look like he had a supreme attack of St. Vitus dance if she were the ballerina. The woman has no sense of rhythm, and her voice is a shrieking rip-off of Stevie Nick’s, which is mostly incoherent with moans.

On this alone I recommend that you see his new film, A Wedding. But, at the same time, I must report to you that A Wedding is a disappointment. Critics have almost universally condemned ,-A Wedding as a failure. But I must dissent. A Wedding is not a failure; it is a disappointment. The distinction is crucial. 3 Women was a failure because the exquisite mood of the first hour Was ruined by a lot of hokey, symbolic gesturing in the second.

As Pauline Kael noted, "Both Buffalo Bill and 3 Women were honest, risk-taking failures, and you could see a major filmmaker at work in them.” A Wedding lacks daring. In M*A *S*H and Nashville, Altman is striking hard at American conventions, skewering them on the sph of his keen wit. In A Wedding he is sticking pins into a rag doll. , 8 .g Antics of inferiors It As the title suggests, the film is about a wedding, the ceremony and subsequent reception is an upper-class affair peopled by some of the biggest buffoons in recent memory. A Wedding does not so much have characters as congealed perversities. The groom, Dino Corelli (Desi Arnaz, Jr.), is a slack, irresponsible stud. His bride is Muffin Brenner (Amy Stryker), a wan redhead with a brain full of mush and a mouth full of braces. (Very nasty, Bob.) Mia Farrow is Muffin’s sister Buffy, a quiet profligate who is pregnant by Dino (Ho-ho-HO!). Geraldine Chaplin gives an excellent performance as the wedding coordinator, an Emily Post-type matron bubbling with reverence for social poise and ritual; she is also a lesbian who makes a pass at Muffin. Jules Meecham (Howard Duff) is the family doctor who keeps brushing things off young women’s chests. groom’s the Upstairs, grandmother, Nettie, played by the aged Lillian Gish, dies as the reception begins. Carol Burnett’s Tulip Brenner, the mother of the bride, is accosted by the corpulent Pat McCormick. Though initially repelled, she comes to share his lust. Burnett is a comic actresspar excellence. I often imagine that Nicholson she corks bottles of distilled emotion, so substantially does she splash the screen with her moods. McCormick delivers corny lines in an off-hand manner that makes 1 them comically effective. "Oh, rapture,” he says when Tulip agrees to meet with him in a motel; and when he begs her to say that she loves him, he praises her mouth as being “the most important opening in your body.” Incorporates too much With this film, Nicholson demonstrates himself to be an innovative director. The luscious yellow and brown organe tones of the mine scenes evince a fine command of color and shadow reminiscent of a Rembrandt pallet.. However, Nicholson tries to incorporate too much in his film, and the result is an uneven, confusing product. something talents on so unformidabte is to have Altman laughing in his hand at the antics of inferiors. If these events had occurred in Buckingham Palace or the Vatican, they might be satirical. As it is, the overreaction makes Altman look snide and vitriolic, giving the appearance that A Wedding is Altman's mocking of his own talents. As Stanley Kaufmann of The New Republic put it, “Since the technical expertise (of Altman) is consecrated to shallowness, it caricatures itself, like the expertise of a TV commercial the better made, the more gratuitous.” Though this comment is astute, I disagree with its context; Kaufmann and, to a lesser degree, Kael are denouncing A Wedding as a failure. But this is false. A is a success. Wedding Its characters are every bit the fools Altman intends them to be. But for Altman to bother telling us that fools are foolish in his grand, sweeping way is a disappointment. It is the misdirecting of a great talent to a petty subject, not unlike using heavy artillery on a house-fly. . Wants to have fun Steenburgen, personally picked from obscurity by Nicholson to co-star, may well become a major actress in her forthcoming films. Her supple mouth and expressive eyes reveal a subtle and moving talent which contrasts with page 23— •nd Hi Moon find Some uneven, tome poignant scenes in Nicholson's major directorial debut Mexican deputy in this film, is woefully underused. Only traces of his unique brand of humor peak through in his miniscule role. Nicholson saves most of the laughs for himself. It is obvious that Nicholson simply wants to have fun in a film before he resumes his artistic career in Stanely Kubrick’s next The Shining. But by attempting to exploit the gamut of emotions an actor of his ability is capable of, this supposedly lighthearted film suffers from film, severe discontinuity. Coin’ South was almost a fun film. Now playing Theater at the Holiday 4 Nicholson’s. Nicholson, to be sure, overacts the hilt. Although he often charms the audience with his by now familiar mischievous expressions and witty lines, many times his cuteness becomes tedious and annoying. In fact, he at times seems to imitate the mannerisms of John Belushi; this is especially evident in the dinner scene in which Nicholosn gobbles up' boiled chicken the same way Belushi sucked up jello in Animal House.

Moon is a playful rogue who for most of the movie seems to revel in finding crazy things to do. In one scene, he plops a bucket of horse urine on the head of a vindictive deputy. Of course, juiia and Moon finally warm up to each other. Moon “puts the woman in tune with nature” and Julia identifies with his, as well as her own newly found, crazy jlemeanor. They find the gold and, in the film's finale, trot off into the proverbial sunset. But all this scandal is limp. Wedding parties are not things for which audiences have respect; they’re usually seen for the plastic affairs that they are. For Altman to use his formidable satirical • . cannot Easy laughs The Blacks' —continued . • & of UB’s Theater Department, has filled that requirement. Without the infectious tongue-in-cheek mood maintained by the actors and in the direction, this play would sotfci wallow in its own manifestations of guilt, limiting its appeal to hard-core masochists. In a production like this all of the actors must perform in a tight formation of complementary competence to give effectiveness to any one performer’s actions. Vividly stellar were tavern Clay as Archibald Absalom Wellington, the rascally emcee of the production; Harold White as the pious but arrogant Missionary; Dwight Simpson as the Judge; and Frank Robinson as the skittish Valet. The climactic battle between Tawanna Stewart as the oh-so-regal Queen of the colonists and Vernie Verniece Turner as “Mother Africa” carried its intriguing intensity mostly on the strength lent to the characters by two fine actresses. Also to recommended are the be performances of Alton Bowens and Beverly Simms. Though always on stage but never seen in person, Steve Normandale and Lydia Bowen supported the cast well with their contributions of and costume design, set respectively. Despite the production's somewhat ungainly length and murkiness; occasional it is marvelous to see what a community-based production can be. In the warm, inviting space that is the African-American Cultural Center, art so surges with vitality that it is something joyfully shared with the audience instead of doled out. When Archibald Absalom Wellington tells us, "We are what they want us to be, We shall therefore be it to the very end, absurdly,” he pretty much describes the tack the play has taken. Go see it. A little absurdity can go a long way. The African American Cultural Center is located downtown at 350 Masten Avenue. BURMA CAFE 2805 ELMWOOD Inear Kenmore Mercy Hospital) 'GET BUCKS?

Playing into the all-too-many empty seats left by a generation which has aged into apathy and another which knows nothing else, was Dave Van Ronk, survivor and bluesman, a most unlikely visitor to the Katharine Cornell Theater. Over the years, used to "singing in a hole in the ground," Van Ronk settled comfortably into the new American reality and sang the songs that made it seem remote, silly and trite. Saturday Alley had come to Sunday Street. Van Ronk, as heavy-bellied as an Alabama sheriff, sings gruff and raw; the lyrics are those of a man whorhas had to be tough to survive this world, but gentle enough to deserve to live in it; "If I mistreat you, 1 sure don’t mean no harm.” Though his blues are too often regarded as merely a style, his voice, laid out with bourbon and nailed down with cigarettes, is not all that is remembered after the singing silences. Echoing out into the endless parking lot, muffled by the passing trasfic, are the cracked brick and broken bottles, the crap throw gone awry, the loser making the best of it, that wander through his songs. —Smith URBAN BLUES IN EXURBIA: From the alleys and doorways of old Greenwich Village.

Citing the parallels between songwriters joe Hill and Ralph Chapin, Woodie Guthrie and Dylan and the IWW shortly after the turn of the century, the Community Party in the 30’s, and the New Left of the past decade, Van Ronk observed that, “In American culture, the rise of folk music follows the rise of the' left.” As for the present, "I throw the dice; I don't control them,” he said. Dave Van Ronk closed his evening with a song Dylan wrote almost twenty years ago but never recorded under his own name.

Only the beaten have pity for their own. Their oral tradition is one they cherish and which they preserve even for those who would forget. They know that they are not alone, but never know for how long. The lyrics cry, “Most of my friends are dead and gone. It makes you worry about the time to come.” Van Ronk remembers, like Dylan who wrote about them, “Cisco and Sonny and Leadbelly too.” All the old bluesmen: Cisco Houston, "who had more fun Struggling as ever with adversity and his guitar, Van Ronk aroused and cajoled his enthusiastic listeners, interspersing his hallowed repertoire of blues, such as "God 3less the Child," “Sunday Street," and "Rocky Road," with bits and pieces of his personal folk wisdoms and at times crude pith, “If you spend your time worrying that you’re going to get fucked, you never get laid either." Lying low over his guitar, squinting impishly into the laughs and groans, "the man who mugged Santa Claus” hammered and stroked, at once fierce force and tenderness, blunt-fingered and bittersweet. » The women's performing unit of the Department of Theater will return to perform Some Enchanted Evening, a collection of skits dealing with rape and their rape experience.

Music Committee presents what should be a most interesting evening where the many Jazz audiences are concerned. Ramsey Lewis and very special guest star Freddie Hubbard will perform at 8:30 tonight in the Shea’s Buffalo Center for the Performing Arts. Both artists are Columbia performers who have reached a "wider” audience through a collection of pop, neo-classical >i votings, and more than a touch of funk. While Lewis, the main event of this gig, has always been a light and nimble soulster, Hubbard’s is the legacy of the sli :r it out burner. His hot, ringing tone and dexerity was referred to by Oliver Nelson as the sound of "John Coltrane on trumpet," and his work with Trane, Nelson, Dolphy and others speaks for itself. Art Blakey’s newly released Blue Note double (Live Messengers), Bobby Hutcherson's Highway One, and Hub’s own iSuperblue shows a magnificent performer re-affirming his identity, and why that identity is worth re-affirming. If this manifests itself tonight, we are all in for some kind of show. Find out for v yourself. Opening for Maynard Ferguson (Sunday, 8 p.m., at Kleinhans Music Hall) is a gentleman who issues primal screams and subtle whispers thru the intimate fire of his acoustic guitar. Larry Coryell, a gentleman whose stylistic touch upon everything from blues, R4B, and bluegrass to Spanish winds of intrigue glimpsing beyond, will place himself in the highly daring position of solo performer. If you've heard his acoustic guitar duos with Steve Khan and Philip Catherine, then you have an idea of the treat in store for. Whether you know or not, treat yourself to Coryell’s entertaining artistry. A cabaret workshop will be offered by the UB Theater Department during Spring 1980 semester. The course instructor will be the reknowned Eric Bentley. The topic is "Between the Wars” (The Twenties and Thirties) and material will be gathered and performances prepared for production. International poetry and music are to be presented. Credit for graduates and undergraduates is available.

The even and ever-drifing characteristics of his work imparts a mystique to that strength that spells the total power of Hutch’s play; the rain of a tropical forest or the dance of timeless African deities brewing juju, as well as the sly, slick, and wicked curves lining the street corners all around. Hutch penetrates all the linings with lyrical truth. by Michael F. Hopkins As I mentioned in a recent review of Freddie Hubbard’s Superbht, the Hub is re asserting his already formidable legacy as a leader of the Music. Always one of the masters of the trumpet, he is determined to express his artistic identity, which (judging by Superblue alone) is a most entertaining move growing. If one can be measured to some degree by one’s peers, then Freddie’s coming performance here should be quite interesting, since it comes at a time when the Hub has been looking up and hooking up with some of his old firends from those embryonic Blue Note days. The Hancock revival (VSOP) set a fine example of the balladeer’s fire Hubbard and Wayne Shorter yet strike up together. The gentleman who is the subject of this text is another old friend of Freddie's, and one who is even now only beginning to receive the full attention he has deserved for so long as one of this Music’s greatest artists. plays Hutcherson the Bobby vibraphone, drawing from it a clear, sharp ring that deepens and reverrberatcs in its own softness and strength. It is not enough to call him the greatest vibist since Milt Jackson; that kind of comparison is really less than moot (and besides as Bobby will tell you Milt’s still around). Hutch was developing his identity even before he joined (with Woody Shaw) the dovecalling Eric Dolphy, and his already encompassing malletry rang everyone wide out in 1964 on Dolphy’s epic Out To Lunch session (with Hubbard blazing hot!). Any who hear the sturdy sensitivity of Hutch’s tubular bell-chiming The rising road Highway One is Hutch’s first album fpr Columbia (Has Woody Shaw got CBS growing rosewood? What a well-rooted rhythm that would rise. Anyway ...). To put in one phrase, it’s a beautiful path to — tread. A strong point to note is Hutch’s generosity in constantly giving each member of his band room to establish a distinctive identity, along with Hutch’s constant use of his group on records (something McCoy Tyner has been slipping up on of late, especially where the fiery reedsmaster Joe Ford is concerned). This especially becomes obvious if one listens to the strength found in his associates’ composing (Hutch’s last Blue Note albums, as well as this one, bear this point out). In George Cables, Hutch has a nimble and highly buoyant pianist who complements, rather than distracts from, the vibes' work. Cables’ compositions on Highway One illustrate my point concerning the advantage of a leader who opens up the learning experience for everyone, including himself. In bassist James Leary, drummer Eddie Marshall, and percussionist Kenneth Nash, Hutch has a highly impeccable unit' whose concept of rhythm Is to conceive the flow - - This Sunday Night! PATRICK HENRY’S (8200 Main Near Transit) - fanfare with color and essence, rather than propping up a frame while the currents run on by. Keep in mind that all the Music runs in those currents of past and present to be, and (he current can either baptize lovingly or burn you in your own haste or waste. Your move. , Cables for his wife. Here, Hubbard makes his lone and very bubbling appearance on entering with flutist’s the fanciful wit and soaring linguistics. This only moments after Laws has done most of his solo in a deep flugelhorn-toned mood. Masters at play! Small woner, considering the thoughtspeed pace Hutch sets tolling a whirlwind from whose eye the insights resound. Speaking of which, listen to Cables’ messages here. Really fine. The quintet plus Laws next draws a "Circle” of samba delight. Laws’ nasal quality here gives the flute an image of a long reed breathing Life into the air. It also makes file think of the one member of Hutch’s band missing here, the elusively direct Emmanuel Boyd. His flute and reedswork carries the ethereal and earthy flavors of Hutch’s music with understatement and bold flamboyance at once. I hope he’s not missing for long. Again, Cables’ composing is rounded out by his expressive play of the language. Traveling a Highway can lead you to end up at the very beginning of your travels. Know the place. Hence, “Secrets Of Love (Reprise)” closes the album with the bumpsteady intrigue of its opening, the gifts shared and spread even more. One aspect rising in this climax is the on-drifting vocal of Jessica Cleaves, whom many will recalf from The Friends Of Distinction and early Earth, Wind and Fire hot! Jessica’s very basic, full ranging command of song still rings with melodic distinction, as her rendition of Todd Barkan’s simple prose carries the Music’s intricate pwoer with special charm. Quiet now reaching for the ever. It Is morning on the Highway One. Go for the dreams. — Caravanserai Enter the Highway on Cables’ "Secrets of Love,” and feel the friendliness that wades in the water. Marshall's sifting and Nash's wand-tapping accents boil the juices into a saucy consistency that textures the coming mood well. Walking high-styled and sassy with natural soul, the Love is shared thru the foundations laced between the hip socket basses of Leary and guest Van Zalinge, as flutist Hubert Laws blows chocolate-toned kisses winging around Hutch's dazzling array. Very warm, and not to be forgotten. Hutch’s "Bouquet” is a stately grace that’s lithe awareness. The in arrangements of celli & violins by the underrated pianist Cedar Walton are resonant in refinery and might. No just self-indulgent lushness here brightness that’s very lovely. The album's title tune features that compositional power of Hutch to summon images of Third World drum rituals and urbanity in desperate need of total renewal (centering on an aspect of Blackness’ Blackness, maybe?)< Here, the leaping pulse is given strong accent by Walton’s exacting brass arrangements; another example of his intuitive simplicity (ask Art Blakey about him some time).

Blustery conditions hampered play considerably throughout the match. Buffalo's win featured the completion of top performer Todd Miller’s unbeaten year, one in which he was extended to three sets only twice. Miller, displaying a skillful mixture of talent and intelligence, repeatedly took advantage of his opponent’s weak backhand off the approach to coast to a 6-1, 6-1 win. Despite his Unbeaten year, Miller called this year’s opposition, “tougher than expected,” and stated that “a lot of hard work has accounted for a 75 percent improvement in my game.” ■ Buffalo, as they have all year, again dominated singles play. Bill Kaiser, Dave Meyers and Larry Blyberg all had relatively little difficulty in disposing of their opponents. Kaiser hit looping topspin forehands at every opportunity, spotting his opponents’ weakness very early away with an easy 6-3,6-4 win. Despite his steady 9-2 seasonal record, Kaiser anticipates a great spring season. “I didn’t really play up to my ability, I was just getting familiar with the league,” Kaiser stated. Meyers displayed fine net play in winning a three set match 6-4, 2-6, 6-4, His level of play often matches his opponent as he usually goes three sets. Blyberg, who won very quickly, established superb baseline play and forced many errors from his opponent in an easy 6-3, 6-2 win.

How about pitching? Well, there’s no pitcher named Tomorrow, but there is one by the name of Mike Betz. “This is the best fall he’s had in four years,” said Monkarsh. In seven innings for the season Betz had an EiRA of 0.00 with only 7 hits and 8 strikeouts. Joe Heskith also had an outstanding fall. Betz and Hesketh are UB’s main arguments for an impressive spring.

What’s the player’s name at second? Speedster Pat Raimondo. “Pat really, worked hard at it,” Monkarsh said. He added that Mike Morlock will be strong backup when needed. Probably the toughest decision for Monkarsh will be at shortstop. “There’s a helluva battle” between Joe Marcella and Dave Rosenhahn, Monkarsh explained. “Both played outstanding baseball in the fall.” SOFT CONTACT LENSES LA RGEST SEL ECTIONS Enjoy A Truly Japanese Cuisine I base.

What is the guy’s name on second / Power strike Bulls’ Ted Baughn and Bob Ellenbogen both found a lot more difficulty with their opponents than their teammates did. A very fine start quickly turned into a poor tennis display as Baughn lost control of his usual good placement of shots. Along with this went the match, 2-6, 6-2, 6-4. Rather than following through on his baseline strokes, he continually pushed the ball, which is acceptable once in a while, but not continuously during two straight sets. Meanwhile, Ellenbogen deserted his conservative keep-the-ball-in-play type of game, opting to slug it out with his opponent. His lack of firepower got him off the court quickly, a 6-1, 6-3 loser. Both these players, however, have played solid tennis this year in support of Buffalo’s fine record. Needing only one win to clinch the match. UB coach Tom LaPenna decided to mix up his doubles tandems. First doubles Miller and Baughn were continually on the attack missing few net volleys in their quick and easy 6-2, 7-S win. Kaiser and Ellenbogen played hard at second doubles, but were overmatched as they lost a close 6-1,4-6,6-3 match. Meyers and Bill Bishyra closed out UB's fall season by getting blasted in a rough 6-1,6-2 loss. The 10-1 record was very satisfying to LaPenna. “1 came into this season wanting 10 wins and I’m really proud that we’ve achieved our goal,” he noted. “Our singles have been great all year and everyone played up to and above their abilities.” The hard work LaPenna demands of his players, along with the quick development of ready talent accounted for men’s tennis having the best record of any fall sports team. ■ south,” said Monkarsh, referring to the team’s spring Spectrum Professional Fees Not Included �Unprecedented 7—0 win i Women’s tennis team shuts out Brockport ‘jock school’ Denise Kouriel had just finished her fifth singles match with Nancy. Faltisco and was walking toward the bench. There was tension among the players, expectant of the news, “1 won!” shouted Kouriel, setting off shouting and cheering. The UB women’s tennis team had captured its fourth match of the day, clinching a victory over the Brockport Golden Eagles, which always fields an excellent net squad. But there was more to come, as the last three Royals also won on Monday, bringing UB an unprecedented 7-0 shutout over Brockport, a reputed “jock school.” “It’s getting to be unreal,” exclaimed coach Connie Camnitz after the Royals had won their seventh straight match, including a streak of 41 out of their last 42 games. It’s unfortunate that the home season ended Wednesday only the state championships in Binghamton remain just as the team reached its peak ofexcellence. For some players, the season ended on Monday, as classes prevented them fk>m playing against Niagara Wednesday. Two of them, Lynda Stidham and Lynne Kirchmaier, who make up UB’s second doubles pair, finished their second consecutive unbeaten year with a “double bagel,” 6-0, 6-0, win over Patti Moore and Kathy Bareis. “My serve was great today. 1 was getting my first serve in, and they couldn’t return it,” explained Stidham. - - High return Second singles player Dee Dee Fisher also won for the last time, but she had a much tougher job, taking a three-setter, 6-2,. 3-6, 6-2, from Abby Schelin for her 14th win in 15 decisions this year. The sophomore’s main problem in the Brockport match was Schelin’s high arching returns. “Just don’t try to kill it,” Camnitz advised. So, in the third set, when Schelin tried the- same tactic, Fisher simply stroked it back, and sometimes even moved up under it and used her lethal drop shot to catch Schelin off guard. The result: a 6-2 victory. April Zolczer, UB's first singles netter, was tested considerably by southpaw Suzanne Vicary, but came away a winner, 6-4, 6-4. Vicary’s first-class forehand was calmly returned by Zolczer, upsetting even the Brockport player’s picture perfect style. "I’m getting psyched for the State tournament, “exclaimed Zolczer, who will compete in Binghamton tomorrow. “I hope I do well, get by two or three rounds,” she said. A lot of spin The other members of the Royals who are going with Zolczer are Heidi Juhl and the doubles Jeam of Judy Wisniewski and Kris Schum. Juhl contributed a 6-2, 6-4 win in the Brockport washout. Her opponent, third singles Donna Nevin, tried to use every spin in the book against Juhl, but the freshman had a strategy of her own, “I just started using those drop shots (regularly), and they’re great,” she said afterward. Schum-Wisniewski were pressed by first doubles team Rhonda Bogatz and Jackie Olnas, but the UB combination won, 6-1, 7-5, thanks in part to their opponents’ bad use of positioning, weak serves, and overall sloppy play. They did rally in the end, but they fell short. Other winners were Carol Waddell, in a tough three-setter, and Denise Kouriel, who brought home the clincher. Even if UB doesn’t do well in the New York State Championships, it should do better than last year, when it placed 28th and finished with only three points. presents ALTERNATIVE MUSIC SERIES Masterful interpreter of a vast range of American Music MIKE SEEGER BANJO GUITAR AUTOHARP FIDDLE PANPIPES ETC. • • • • Saturday, October 21 at 9 pm KATHARINE CORNELL THEATRE ELLICOTT COMPLEX AMHERST - TICKETS: $2 Imt Faculty & Staff 12.25 Others 2.50 —Krlmm OUTPLAYED: According to thair coach Patar Wainraich, the volleyball Roysla did not fall apart in the three gamaa they lost to Rochester last Tuesday but wars simply outplayed.

Yellow Jackets serve UB three game losses } *■- -J . . by CaHos Vallrino Staff Writer Spectrum • by Paige Miller Special to The Spectrum It’s not as bad as it sounds, volleyball fans. Yes, the Royals overpowered Rochester 15-4 in the first game of a match Tuesday at Clark Hall and then dropped the next three games and the match, but Buffalo coach Peter Weinreich wasn’t overly concerned. “We lost a little ball control after the first two games and the back part of our defense was running into problems,” Weinreich admitted. “But 1 don’t think UB fell apart. I think Rochester outplayed us.” Royal Dana Chadwick echoed a similar sentiment. “They [Rochester] didn’t play as well as they usually do in the first game,” she said. “Then they picked up momentum, while we played about the same.” Chadwick played a key role in Buffalo’s first game win. The 6-1 junior blocked and spiked effectively, never allowing Rochester to get started. But the Yellow Jackets got started early in the second game, led by spiker Clare McLellan. After a 15-8 second game Win, Rochester scor:d 15 st aight points to take the third game 15-4. Better serves Buffalo managed to stop Rochester momentarily, taking an 8-3 lead in the fourth game. Wanda Mesmer served up three aces for the Royals in that stretch. But McLellan and Holly Duck led Rochester on a 12-2 spurt to take the game and the match. The Royals, now 2-3 in non-tournament play, have lost at home to Houghton, then won only one game at the Pittsburgh Tournament before earning road victories over Gannon and Oswego, Weinreich felt that compared to those games, Buffalo showed some improvement against Rochester. “We were having problems with our serving and serve reception,” said Weinreich, now in his fourth year as Buffalo coach. “Tonight, 1 was pleased with our serving and our serve reception started getting the ball t the setter.” The Royals’ coach also felt that setter Lori Hansen has “improved 1000 percent” since the start of the year. Hansen was the only freshman to see regular playing time against Rochester. “It’s starting to get really solid,” said co-captain Sue Trabert. “The more we play together, the better it gets.” Things could get even better if the Royals can stay healthy. Due to several illnesses, only nine Royals were in uniform Tuesday night. Chadwick is recovering from an injury and co-captain Akemi Tsuji,. normally one of Buffalo’s big guns, returned after an ankle sprain, but was not as effective as normal. “My timing was a little off,” Tsuji said. \ “1 still haven’t recovered but in two weeks, I should be back to normal.” Tonight, the Royals face Syracuse University at Clark Hall at 5 p.m. The Orange seeni to be tough in just about every sport these days, and there is no rest in sight for the Royals, because tomorrow they will face some tough Canadian teams at the Brock University Tournament, and Monday they travel to Rochester-to play St. John -Fisher., ) �8 Extending an apology I’d like to apologize for a misunderstanding that led me to believe that hostility existed between soccer coach Sal Esposito and The Spectrum.

The Reactor had been leaking about 500 gallons of radioactive water a day, alleged to be 227 times the safety level set by NRC. At that time, groups of faculty and students banded together, effectively blocking the move of radioactive fuel rods within the reactor. Through protest and petitions to NRC, the move and possible spill of radioactive material was successfully thwarted. The 600 pounds of radioactive fuel which blocked access to the leak were transferred instead to a reprocessing plant. The people and the community had won. The Reactor, which reopened this past June, has been the local symbol of a world-wide controversy on nuclear energy and the hazardous waste which results from it. In an attempt to raise campus and community consciousness about the environmental dangers of nuclear waste, concerned individuals will picket the Reactor tomorrow at 1 p.m. “It’s not a rally*, there won’t be any speakers,” said organizer Paul Richmond. “What we want to do is create a Scientific advisory committee , Task force spokeswoman Linda Kolbas attributes the University group’s dormancy to the state’s failure to provide necessary reports. “As of the morning of October 16, we received no reports from the state,” she said explaining that without these, little analysis can be undertaken.

(CPS) With time running out before it would adjourn for the fall elections, Congress, Sunday nigit, killed the proposed Tuition Tax Credit for middle income families by cutting the bill out of larger tax cut legislation, then adopted a tuition assistance plan long favored by Jimmy Carter. Despite support from most Senators and Congressmen, the tuition-credit measure failed under the threat of Presidential veto. President Carter had been openly opposed to a tuition tax credit bill basically because he believed it did not provide enough help to middle income families. In the final hours of the 95th Congress, Carter’s alternative plan the Middle Income Assistance Plan, was embraced. This measure adds $1.2 billion to the BEOG awards allocated as well as- allowing students whose parents earn more than $16,000 participate in the Work Study Program for the first time. President Carter officially stated his opposition to tuition tax credits in a letter to congressional leaders last February. He called the idea wasteful and none too helpful to middle income families trying to cope with the rising costs of higher education. Last week, Senator Robert Packwood (R., Oregon) tacked tuition tax credits onto the larger tax cut bill as a means of making it “veto proof.” The logic was that the president would be reluctant to veto cuts in this election year and age of “tax revolts.” The Senate did, in fact, pass the bill containing tuition tax cuts by an 84-6 margin, more than enough to override a Carter veto. The Senate has approved tuition tax credits seven times since 1968, but this year was the first time the House has passed them. Virtually every major education association has joined President Carter in his opposition to tuition tax credits. For example. W. Glenn Turrell, president of Washington State University and of the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant - — Colleges, said the tax credits plan “spreads minimal funds over such a broad population that it will have little impact on the relief sought by middle-income families.” Turrell and others have instead endorsed President Carter’s alternative relief measure, later dubbed the Middle-Income Assistance Plan. It would add $1.2 billion to the $4 billion in aid available under the Basic Educational Opportunity Grants. Guaranteed Student Loan, and Work-Study programs. It would also, among other things, make dependents of families earning more than $16,000 eligible for work-study programs for the firsj time. Moreover, it would increase average grants to children of families earning between $8,000 and $16,000 a year by $200. Though Congress considered other relief measures this session,, the big fight has been between tuition tax credits and the Carter plan. Public opinion has been a rather fickle guide in determining the fight’s outcome. Polls have been clear only on one point: that the middle class seems to want some sort of tuition relief to cope with higher education costs. The National Center on Educational Statistics estimated that this year the average costs at public colleges is $3,000, $5,000 at typical private schools, and $8,000 at some of the bigger private universities. Since 1967, costs of public education have gone up 74.2 percent, while private education costs have risen 76.6 percent. Then the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) added to the confusion with a study disputing the need for any tuition aid at all. It contradicted an earlier Congressional Research Service report (later amended in the CEEB report’s wake), and said that family income had risen faster than college costs since 1967. Many observers thus inferred that the middle class was still capable of paying for a college education, but that it was simply less willing to do so. PETITIONS ARE DUE IB Skilled worker demand is dwindling nationwide by Al Goodman Pacific News Service Ron Checchi is part of a national dilemma. A 34-year old butcher at a large Safeway supermarket in San Francisco, Checchi learned his trade after years of studious apprenticeship to his father, Hugo. Today, Ron Checchi runs pre-cut portions of beef through a and reflects on all the intricate butchers’ skills he knows and never uses. Throughout America, the need for skilled workers is on the decline as jobs requiring little or no skills are on the rise. It is a result of radical and immutable saw changes occuring in the U.S. changes which some economy economists and educators predict could lead to massive - dissatisfaction and social upheaval across the board of the U.S. labor force As American industry continues to automate and export both unskilled skilled and manufacturing jobs, service sector jobs continue to expand and fill the gap. The Congressional Joint Economic Committee predicted earlier this year that by 1985, up to 80 percent of the U.S. workforce would be employed in the service sector, where skill requirements are at a minimum and there are fewer labor unions to protect wages. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that the fastest growing job slots for the years ahead will be for dental hygienists, flight computer attendants, programmers, teacher’s aides and —continued on ]ff| TOMORROW for elected positions by 4:00 pm in the Student Assoc.

Where do you go from there? To the Writing Place. Never heard of it? The Writing Place is a free tutorial service sponsored by the Learning Center at 336 Baldy Hall. Any university student can come to the Writing Place and receive help with his or her writing any lime Monday through Friday I 2-4 p.m. and Monday through Thursday 6-9 p.m. The tutoring is done mainly by graduate students in the English Education Program, many of whom are experienced school or college English teachers who also have done advanced graduate work in composition theory and research. Before all of you would-be writers stampede the Writing Place, clutching sharpened pencils, convinced that all of your writing problems are solved, let me briefly describe what will not happen during a tutorial session. To put it simply, none of the tutors will “tell you what to say;” a tutor will not write your paper, or any segment of it, for you. The burden of writing and revising a draft remains yours, and the help you receive may not be what you initially expected to get. No one will correct your work in the traditional sense of the word, scrawling “awks” or “sps” in red pencil across your paper. Instead, what you will get is a tutor’s honest response as a real audience for your writing. In this role of audience/responder the tutor will usually ask many questions about your writing and will thus lead you to discover for yourself what you need to do to get started on or revise an assignment. Such statements as, “When I read this sentence I am confused because you didn’t define your terms," or, “1 think I need more documentation for your argument to convince me," are typical of the responses a tutor may make in an attempt to help you see your writing as a real audience sees it. Strategies for revising a paper are often suggested by the comments or questions a tutor has about your work. In addition to responding to strong points and confusions in a draft, the Writing Place staff can offer you a quiet spot in which to work, as well as a reference library to help you with writing-related questions such as footnoting and the "who/whom dilemma.” For all of you who will soon be staring at an assignment for your first paper of the semester, be contorted to know that the Writing Place is now open. Let the stampede begin! Rita (lerher meetings.

Vilifications of Mott spiced the meeting, as Gopstein and Rubin their claims that the is most president responsible for SA’s failings. Treasurer Wawrzonek stood firm on his refusal to pay back debts to The Spectrum and the Student State Association of the repeated former University (SASU). Baum, after giving her report on developments in Sub Board, was grilled by Rubin who fired question after question from a exchange prepared list.

Rubin refused to give either exact approximate figures, or but claimed that The Spectrum's ($800 $ 1000) were too high who Schwartz, repeatedly attempted to move the meeting onto other, less political, matters, was forced to again explain his stand on Mott’s call for general elections when pressured by Gopstein.

Help is often given to those with suicidal intentions. The volunteers working at Crisis Services must also deal with occasional prank callers and “chronic callers” who sometimes call as many as five times a day. One volunteer observed, “It boils down to some who aren’t looking tor real help.” Nevertheless, each call is taken seriously. Volunteers at Crisis Services offer various reasons for working at the centers. For some, it is the field experience they need for a degree in sociology or psychology. A large number of volunteers are housewives. They all have one thing in common.

Phone technique as well as handling specific problems is included in the training sessions. Each type of problem has a “model” which the workers follow. The main purpose of the training is to teach volunteers how to assess the risk of the situation and what approach to take in helping that person. If the situation is critical a trained team is sent to the caller’s house through the Emergency Outreach Program. The training program, stresses the need to tune into the caller's feelings and somehow get the caller to make some resolutions to take action on his own. The caller is encouraged to draw from his own inner strangths to resolve the conflict. As one volunteer remarked, own inner strengths to resolve the conflict.

Programs made available through Crisis Services in conjunction with many other agencies include “Simple (lilts" which is a program that provides temporary housing for battered wives.

We must weigh each possibility so that we minimally affect individual departments.” Fogel added that small amounts of money will probably be deleted from many departments to lessen the effect of budget cutbacks. The University experienced similar funding problems last year. The busing budget fell $200,000 short of the estimated $6.15 million minimum operating projection. The libraries have suffered yearly acquisition cuts since 1975. $798,000 requested in the supplemental budget this year for library acquisitions was refused by the DOB. to First priority According to Fogel, the library budget allocations have been rising each year but not enough to cover inflation of acquisiton costs. “The cost of books keeps rising,” he said, “and this indicates the fact that a balance is not being maintained.” Fogel added that increased library allocations have been the first priority of the Administration for several years. The primary basis for determining the budget, according to Fogel, is the projected enrollment for the Fall semester of the coming year. The expected increase in operating costs for new facilities is also considered. The budget request is submitted to the DOB for approval in the Spring of the preceding year. Changes are made throughout the year through a supplemental budget which covers unexpected costs such as faculty salary raises, rental costs of health facilities, and departmental moves. The total budget figure is spread across the entire University and disbursed according to detailed budgets from each department. Said Baumer, “As long as we’re spending within our budget, we keep going. Since budget figures are based largely on projected enrollment for the coming year, actual enrollment discrepancies have an effect on the following year’s budget requests, according to Fogel. This year’s actual enrollment of 24,579 fell short of the projected figure by close to 1000 students. Said Fogel, “As a result, the DOB has not modified the budget for this year, but it will look carefully at the proposal for next year.” -Brad Bermudez fw Creative Anachronites meet The Spectrum apologizes to all who were inconvenienced by our error in announcing 3 a meeting Monday of the Society for Creative Anachronism.

Faculty insensitivity cited as major cause of high attrition by Philip Schuman Spectrum Staff Writer Faculty insensitivity has been cited as a major cause of a disturbingly high drop-out rate here in a preliminary report of the University-wide study group on attrition/retention The study grou p was Split campuses and busing hassles were also 5 shown to be persistent student complaints in a 00 “Quality of Life” study conducted by Assistant Director of Housing William Conroy. That study, completed last spring focused on student life in the dormitories. Conroy forme primarily as a reponse to declining enrollments. University officials discovered that more students said, “Students very definitely are need tor greater convenience and feeling a pressing increased bus service." His survey ranked transportation as the third most important issue to than anticipated among semester, prompting concern for other things the University’s budget allocations from the state, which are based on enrollment spring One immediate problem with keeping students enrolled seems to be that no one knows, with precision, how many leave school in any given year. Attrition figures are complicated by a host of incalculable factors, including hundreds of students that do not graduate within four years, but remain at the University. Chairman of the study group Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Siggelkow said attrition figures are inaccurate and vague. The report bluntly stated: “One faculty goal seems to be to have as little personal contact with students as possible,” and traces student isolation and academic boredom to this insularity. According to the report, the first six weeks on campus are critical in determining whether a student will stay or leave. If the student is able to find “a faculty member who cares” in the first six weeks, there will be a 75 percent chance that he will stay, the group found. Relationships The faculty here has been traditionally slow in responding to the challenge of creating a “University community,” the report noted. Few students can find a single faculty member to write them an employment reference upon graduation, the study showed. Siggelkow noted that the Study Group has begun a pilot activity jabbed, “The University which is aimed at improving the Program” faculty/student relationship. Siggelkow also cautioned against oversimplifying the problem of retention. He considers the problem very intricate with many overlapping variables. “If we can get a state of mind, a heightened sensitivity, that would be positive,” Siggelkow said. Emotional adjustment factors play an important role, the study claims. It appears if a student has success socially, the group found he will usually succeed academically. - Split campus blues Dissatisfaction with the institution, including the split campuses, its Buffalo location and its social and academic environment are other factors the group cited. What about solutions? The committee requested that President Ketter form a committee to promote programs and activities that contribute to a sense of "affiliation and loyally" to the school. The report also recommended that the President attempt to improve the University’s response to student needs, citing the mismanagement of the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) as an example. The committee recognized that services such as Academic Advisement, Counseling and Career Guidance have been extremely hampered by budget constraints over the past several years. Personnel cutbacks have significantly reduced the role and scope of these counseling activities, the group reported. An effective way to counter the loss of personnel, it was suggested, would be to train students for counseling positions to act as a first line of defense against potential dropouts. Better busing In the next section of recommendations, the committee focused on environmental problems. Heading the list was busing. It was suggested that buses begin carrying advertisements about campus activities and available services. It was also recommended that bus routes be made more flexible to include more trips to major shopping areas. The group also raised the critical need for a Student Union on the Amherst Campus. The committee found a great deal of concern among the students for centralized student activity and recreational facilities. The committee also recommended a long list of activities to unify University including a winter sports program and possible winter Olympics. The committee finally addressed the problems in University attitudes. The report said that feelings of student isolation must be attacked. The committee felt isolation can be reduced only by achieving a “cohesive University Community.” The report directly pointed to the faculty and staff as the single most important determinant in achieving a sense of community. Specifically, the report recommended that the faculty become more aware of the students as individuals, more cooperative in dealing with their problems, and “more considerate of various campus constituencies.” The study is not yet complete and no official action has been taken on it yet, according to Assistant to the President Ronald Stein. The committee’s final recommendations are due in June.

But it is by no means a total solution. Carter's plan correctly aims relief from rising college costs at middle income families, denying benefits to the wealthy who can easily afford to send their children to college. The tax credits bill would have meant a maximum of $100 not even enough for books in its first year for all families, regardless of income. Despite its failure to attack the real problem i.e., the families who neither qualify for conventional aid programs nor earn large enough incomes to afford a college education the tuition tax credit idea gained remarkable support in the Senate, where it has been approved seven times, and this year passed the House as a rider to more crucial tax legislation. Carter's plan should help middle income families cope with higher education costs by broadening guidelines for Work Study, Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOG) and Guaranteed Student Loan programs. But nearly every form of tuition aid carries along the assumption, casually reached, that parents are willing to pay what they can afford. The College Entrance Examination Board has released a study showing family incomes rising faster then educational costs, leading to the startling conclusion that American parents may be less willing to put a financial commitment into their children's education. So where does this put the student who cannot rely on his family? New York State's solution has been to make it nearly impossible for an undergraduate to attain "independent" status and thus qualify for larger Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) awards. Students, of course, have not helped themselves any by abusing independent status through misleading claims of severed family ties, or by defaulting in droves on guaranteed loans. But the stickler remains: how does the middle class student left stranded by his parents get an education? And how can anyone prevent a massive abandonment of the family's responsibility after resolving that first question? We certainly don't have the answers. But it's time the state and federal governments started thinking about the questions.

Republication of any matter herein without the express consent of the Editor-irvChief is strictly forbidden. Editorial policy is determined by the Editor-in-Chief, the $2.3 million deficit in the SUNY budget. That was formulated by none other than Mr Carey and the State Legislature. Isn’t it ironic that both the problem and solution were created by the same people? Isn’t it also ironic that the same people who promise you relief from a burden are the ones who knowingly created that burden in the first budget The praises that your article and supporting editorial give to Governor Carey’s decision to repeal the SI 7 Student Health Fee come without much thought. While I too rejoii5e~ihIcrjiwing that in the event Mr. Carey again win his bid for Governor the health fee will supposedly be abolished, I am still somewhat puzzled by the record of Mr. Carey’s actions as opposed to his promises. It is my sincere desire that students seriously ponder the following before voting on Election Day. During his campaign for his first term as Governor. Mr. Carey promised, ”... that under my administration SUNY will not suffer.” Let us briefly examine the events of our recent past. First, Tuition, Housing and Food costs have all increased within the past three years. Second, the Amherst Campus construction was delayed for two years, crippling the hopes of many students as well as the physical campus itself. Third, the annual cuts in the overall SUNY budget have become but a routine subject to a whim of several politicians. Fourth, many of our best academic departments are suffering from either a “brain drain” syndrome or the fear of losing their accreditation. Evidently, the SUNY that would not suffer, as promised by Mr. Carey, was nothing but a blatant lie whose purpose was to fool the public. In respect to the present; promise from Mr, Carey to abolish the health fee, let us again examine some facts. The health fee was initiated last September by the State Legislature to make up for place? Mr. Carey promises relief from a burden, one that he helped to create, the $17 Health Fee. His past, however, still haunts me. It has reflected that his promises to SUNY and to SUNY students are meaningless. In light of this, how can anyone morally vote for a known liar? Personally. I will not sacrifice my ideals by voting for Mr. Carey. Equally. 1 urge you to DUMP CAREY IN ’78. Philip Dinhofe h.ditur's note: What comes without much thought is the beginning portion of your letter. Our article neither praises • nor criticizes Carey but merely reports what happened. The accompanying editorial states only that Carey "repented” the clear implication being that he must have "sinned"in the first place on the Health Fee issue. Any careful reader of our editorial stands would know without question that we have consistently attacked Carey 's mistreatment of SUNY and of this University. To even suggest that The Spectrum has praised Carey on this or any other issue we’ve covered is truly absurd.

One letter writer averred that S.L.L. had cut its open hours and had too many student assistants on in the evenings with not enough to do. May I point out that we are one of the few unit libraries whose open hours have not yet been reduced. Last semester, we closed at 1 p.m. two nights a week, and at 7 p.m. two other nights. This fall, we decided to stay oopen until 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday; we felt that having the U.G.L., which is open until 11:45 p.m., one floor below us provided sufficient library study hours. We will be watching bur suggestion book (and your letters column) for feedback" on our closing hours. Maybe we can go back to the, staggered closing time next semester if there is enough demand. As for the point about the utilization of student assistants, must respectfully differ with your writer. We have had, and still have, a considerable amount of “settling in” to do after our move. Under the direction of David Wilde, our Public Services Supervisor, the evening student assistants have moved, shifted, unpacked, and rearranged a vast I I materials, as witness the pile of empty cartons just outside our door. 1 would also like to note that because of our greatly increased floor space, operations like reshclving and closing become major undertakings, and take much longer than when we were in the "cozy” confines of our Mai nStreet facility. In short. I am convinced that we are making optimum use of our Temporary Services personnel under some very difficult circumstances. To correspondent, Cary Lpstein, I would like to express our sincere regrets that it has become necessary to restrict the use of our closed study carrels. However. I wish to inform him, and any other interested S.L.L. patrons, that these rooms may be used simply by reserving them at the Circulation Desk. Daivd Wilde or Marie Ivers will be happy to give you further details. And finally, I’d like to thank all of the people who have complimented our library and our staff. As correspondent. Ldward Murphy, said in his September 29 letter: "The librarians and aides at this library are courteous and willing to help people on most every occasion. If there is a good studying atmosphere you’re looking for, check out the Science and Hngineering Library. It’s really not that bad!” James K. Webster Director. Science and Engineering Librarv No-nuke responds to Malone To the Editor. can you (Malone) our fears arc are already so Canal and at the high say “unjustified” when the dangers evident. Look at Love correlation between birth defeats and habitation in a nuclear wast plant area. Is this concern fou our future “blown out of proportion”? You also compared the dangers of nuclear wastes to that of walking across the street, which can be quite dangerous unless you take the right precautions of looking both ways. In my eyes, the people who have been pushing for nuclear technology haven’t “looked both ways”, but have been too busy looking in their wallets, counting their profits. A non-nuclear Future Supporter Pricilla Schulman Football injury rewrite To the editor. school. The Spectrum’s recent Considering that two-part story by Fred Salloum on football injuries was strictly a rewrite from Sports Illustrated (a fact wisely noted in the first installment), it was not surprising that, according to the headline over part two, the conclusion reached was “Football injuries (are) due to coaching and equipment.” However, the writer failed to take into account that: 1) Football is a contact sport, hence injuries will occur; 2) Most injuries are simply the result of two bodies, often in excess of 200 pounds each, meeting at top speed; 3) Most players are not dirty, most coaches do not teach illegal tactics, and most equipment is designed to protect participants. NCAA Rules Kditor Dave Nelson, quoted in relation to the situation, refutes Si’s charges in the September IS issue of NCAA News listing rules changes already in effect with the result that “Death and catastrophic head and neck injuries were at a 25-year low in 1977” for both college and high , The game Is as safe as possible, without resorting additional equipment that would render the player virtually immobile, and athletes are aware of the risk factor. To his credit, your writer did interview UB football players. Head Coach Bill Dando and Head Trainer Mike Rielly on the subject, and their responses, generally, were in opposition to Si’s to accusations. But Mr. Salloum’s opinion -as expressed in his final paragraph that “The well known quote it’s not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game’ has been cruelly twisted by modern player’s barbaric mentality” has no foundation in fact and is downright slanderous. I assume Mr. Salloum did not thusly accuse UB defensive tackle Larry Rothman and sophomore linebacker Dan Vecchies during his interviews. Larry G. Steele UB Dilector of Sports Information Talk of bad reporting! Apparently the sports editor of The Spectrum misinterpreted our conversation concerning the indicent in Clark Gym on Friday October 6. The article that was written in The Spectrum was horrible and included incorrect information. Since I can’t get anyone to “tell it like it is”, I will have to give an accurate account to the University Community. Here’s how it went: one mistake that the sports editor got wrong was that Coach Dando requested the players to abandon the basketball court. The request was never heard by anyone on the court. Clark gym was open for recreation at the time when the football team “took over” the court. This was their first fault. What surprised me is the reason that the team didn’t practice outside the reason being 'that it was too rainy and muddy out. This is ironic because most football games are played in this type of weather. Since the players never left the court because of, the unspoken request, the football team just ran on the court to head off the players. When this happened one player was pushed twice and another was swung at. Another mistake of the editor was that according to Dando he looked for someone - , by Jim Paul President, Inter-Residence Council, and Allen Clifford Division Director, Squire/Amherst — — Now is the time to set matters straight. Twenty percent of all students at SlINYAB live in the dormitory residence halls. That’s nearly 4,700 people. Fact: This University has enough “designated residential space tie beds) to accommodate 5,664 people. Fact: Despite the fact that this University has 900 more beds than it can bill, we are currently suffering from a “housing crunch” that saw over 400 people turned away from the,dorms this summer. Fact WHY? That question is currently being pondered by the Student Housing Task Force. . .a group of administrators and students appointed by President Ketter to look into this mess. As the two student representatives to this group, we feel that a report on the progress of the committee’s findings would be appropriate at this time. The solution seems quite straightforward if the Administration can accept people to this University, then it should also be obligated to house them. . . therefore, if anyone requests University Housing, they should be accomodated. This would seem fair from an ideological standpoint but unfortunately it is hardly practical. Why can’t we provide more housing if we have room for another 900 people? Firstly, there is the problem of Spaulding. Initially designed as the sixth residence hall quadrangle in the Ellicott Complex, the majority of it is now being used as a home for wayward offices. .accommodating those unfortunate academic departments that got kicked out of Ridge Lea, when their building leases expired. They don’t like being there, but until construction on Amherst’s academic buildings is completed, there is really nowhere else to go. At the time, Spaulding seemed like the ideal place to put them because University Housing couldn’t fill the rooms. Now, we need those spaces desperately. Secondly, there are a variety of “Special Interest Groups” which receive priority in the dorms. Returning students rank highest, followed by freshmen and transfers. The more semesters you have in the dorms, the greater your chances are of getting your choice of room/location. Of course, your preferences are greatly enhanced if you are affiliated with one of the Colleges, EOF, Handicapped, or Foreign Student groups. The question of whether or not freshmen should receive priority over returning students for dorm space has not yet been resolved. How can this new priority be justified? Are freshmen really “unable to cope” on their own, unable to find alternate living quarters and successfully adapt to them? And would these new priorities be fair to those who lived in the dorms before? We think not. The system now employed by Housing seems most functional, having been worked on and redefined by them and IRC over the last several years. To further confuse matters, we find that there are no plans to build more dormitory space on campus, due to the fact that University enrollment in expected to decline sometime within the next decade. What to do until then? Well, how about leasing apartments off-campus, through University Housing, to accommodate the overflow of students? Good idea, except that the owners of these buildings are seeking astronomical sums, which the University obviously cannot afford. In addition, the Housing Office would become the “landlord” for student tenants and would incur innumerable additional headaches. So we are back where we started, with very few alternatives left open to us. We are adamantly opposed to any policy which would allow for “tripling” of rooms on a permanent basis (three people in a two-person room, etc.) Not only would this significanly lower the quality of residence hall life, but quite frankly the idea sucks. The prospect of squeezing another person into quarters already, too small may be standard practice at other universities, but we have no intention of allowing it to exist here. Perhaps our most viable alternative is the off-campus housing office. If their resources were expanded to include more sophisticated house-hunting procedures (a computerized system would be ideal), an increased staff, and greater budgetary flexibility then maybe the burden of finding satisfactory off-campUs quarters could be greatly reduced. Where do we go from here? We are currently exploring every avenue for increased student housing, but your input would be greatly - appreciated. Respect and Clark gym To the Editor. On increased student space in dormitories I . How This is in-response to the article which appeared in the Friday, October 13th issue, called “UB Energy Expert’s Research is Reviewed by President Carter”, by Joel Mayersohn Just as Malone believes that he energy crisis is real and that people won’t believe it until, “they watch their children shiver when they get dressed in the morning,” I wonder what will have to happenbefore the public and “experts” will acknowledge the real nuclear wasts crisis. Will it have to wait for a whole generation of genetically defective children to be bom before they believe the already known detrimental effects of radiation poisioning? i to talk to before the confusion began. The only reason he spoke to someone is because that someone had to go to him and try to negotiate with him. That someone was me! And where did I get? Nowhere! I told the editor that this wasn’t really a racial issue because there were white players also on the court at the time the confusion began. And they as well as the other players were pushed off the court, but they weren’t swung at. The editor wrote that I said that it was a racial issue. I don’t believe it! Now I don’t know whether he wrote the incident as such on purpose, or did he just recieve a distorted perception of what happened. I hope it was the latter. However, the article gave many, including myself, the impression that the fault lies with the ball players who didn’t consent to the so-called request. Foohey! The people who were there know in their heart actually what happened and God knows too. Dando stated that “Isn’t everything racial,” maybe it is but that doesn’t justify anything. That’s what we’re trying to get rid of. He also said that, as far as he is concerned, it’s nothing. Hey, it is something! It’s no respect. Larry A.

Correction A sentence was inadvertently omitted from Monday’s letter to the Editor written by Ann M. Byran. The corrected sentence should read: “! did not want to find myself a complacent member of society, resigned to a life of non-productivity and stagnation. Instead, I expected to gain the type of education that would aid in growth and understanding of myself and my relation to society as well as one that would promote the devel' ■ ’t as of open-mindedness which seeks questions ■ answers.” �i feedback The University exists for students To the Editor. Man is the product of his environment, psychologists have suggested. 1 believe this statement is generally true. I believe that the poor environment at the University directly affects the Student’s well-being, academic achievement and their future / - I understand the problems, the administration has failed to recognize the importance creating, a campus of pleasant environment, which is indispensible in promoting student welfare as well as academic excellence. Secondly, the administration has problems setting the priorities in allocating the limited funds. Instead of improving the student well-being, they seem to be merely concerned with the growth of student population. This year we have an all-time high record 25,500 students. On the number of enrollment other hand, the problem of housing, busing, libraries, health care and large classes are left to deteriorate. The analogy of this problem is similar to a family which can only support two children but instead has four. If their income does not increase, the situation inevitably brings down their children’s quality of life. .rationing food, unable to educate properly, compounded with the psychological consequences of the lackings. A few major problems we face are: Busing: the number of buses running 1 between the campuses has been cut despite the increase in the number of students. Shila Tavana complained, “The bus drivers are unhappy, the students are unhappy.” (The Spectrum, September 18, 1978). 2 Library: “The libraries here are financially and functionally inferior to other university libraries across the state. . .Budget strain has left the various libraries here open fewer hours than other universities throughout the state surveyed.” ( The Spectrum, September 22,1978). 3 Health Care: “The Student Oral Health Center has been shut down and will not re-open unless $20,000 in funding is found somewhere.” (The Spectrum, September 22, 1978). 4 Housing: For quite sometime, students can only watch as Various academic departments take over more and more space in the Ethcott Complex. At the same time, more and more students are forced to leave the dorms or to live four people in triple rooms and three people in double rooms. The extra person is only provided with a bed and a dresser. He or she has neither a study desk nor floor lamp nor closets. The student degradation,although promised as temporary, is intolerable. Human suffering and frustration are immeasurable. Large Classes: This is a usual problem of a 5 large University; the big class decreases the opportunity for instructors to know and understand his/her students and their problems in the classroom it is impossible to have a personal and warm relationship with and among students. Inadequate Academic Advisement: The 6 infrequency of meetings due to lack of student advisors, and not enough time and lack of interest on the part of the advisor to ask and explain in detail the courses that students must take for academic As far as — . - - — - - — - requirement. In response to the above problems, the administrators usually make an excuse of lack of funds. Is this true? Or, is it because of the priorities? Or is this a sign of the lack of understanding on the part of the administrators of SUNY at Buffalo and Central that their ultimate aim of their services are for students? I believe that the root of the problem is the lack of understanding of the UB bureaucratic employees that their ultimate services aim is for students. They give their loyalty and services first to their superior; hence, employers first and students last! If something goes against student interests but it is good for the employers, it would be alright. It is not surprising why the top and lower adiminstrators are insensitive and unresponsive to students needs and grievances. The problems whether that of setting in priorities allocation of funds, by top administrators or of providing services by lower administrators arise from a non-understanding of the fact that this University exists for the students. This bureaucratic problem is not unique at UB but is almost in the public prevalent everywhere in every country. For example, in bureaucracy West Germany recently, the Postal Minister, Kurt Gscheidle, had ordered all of West Germany’s 30,000 postal clerks to take a three-day course in good — — manners. example may not be veYy good to describe the situation at UB.but just as the Counter Clerks of The West Germany don’t understand that they are there to serve the customers the employees of UB don 'I understand that they are here to help and serve the - — problems. To encourage the top and lower ranking 4 employees to stand up against their superiors if they set up policies which are not in the students interests. The student governments should help those sympathetic employees to fight the bureaucrats. 5 To educate and build a feeling of responsibility to know the TJniversity resources especially related with their jobs. These workshops would help establish a new understanding and build the employees spirit to work vigorously for the students needs and create a - - new check and balance system to avoid abuse of power by the higher administrators; and create a most friendly and caring environment for students. is a Why “pleasant and harmonious” environment essential for the University to provide for academic excellence? This is because the students have their own problems just being students; they have to study and compete with others; they have to find money to pay for their educational expenses; they are usually doubtful whether their education will do any good for their future; they have to cope with the emotional and adjustment problems especially for minority and foreign students. They have fragile lives; any disturbances would influence their concentrations and studies and may cause them to drop out. In February 1978, President Ketter created the University-Wide Group on Study Attrition/Retention, at SUNYAB to help bring the environmental problems inot serious consideration. This group’s function, among other things, was to investigate as President Ketter puts it, “how we can humanize our bureaucratic structures and create the best possible Campus Climate for our students.” But to identify the problem and give the solutions is one thing and to solve the situation is another problem. We should not deceive ourselves the study gorup will not be able to bring any changes unless it succeeds to implement a workable mechanism that can deliver the changes in institution and social levels. It should be able to bring various segments of the University such as staffs, faculties, and students to have a full participation in the decision making process. This is far since the top administrators decisions will affect directly or the whole indirectly University Community; therefore, it is logical to bring the various segments of the University together to participate in the i hit: KitNA ii KuewgrM *.° n When you're done shampooing... you're done conditioning! HAIR CARE SHAMPOO f conditioner + SHAMPOO PLUS fl — CONDITIONER . life. students. In the example. Kurt Gscheidle needed to solve the problem by ordering the clerks to take a three day course in good manners. I feel in this University, the Student Affairs Department should develop several workshops for the employees which will help them understand students. Emphasis should be put on the following: Remind all employees that they are here to 1 help the students. Explain fully to them that the ultimate 2 goals of their services aim for students; hence, to improve their sensitivity and responsiveness to student needs. Recommend to administrators from high 3 ranking offices to clerks that they must be more flexible in executing the bureaucratic procedure to establish a norm for the* employees to bend from bureaucratic procedure to a smoother procedure and thus making it easier for students to solve their decisions. In the past, the administrators showed a poor record. Recently, they conprised to dismantle the student representatives’ power to make and second motions in the College Council. This is what they should not do. Instead of trying to defeat, they should help students. They should look at students as their partner, in the sense that without students there would by no University and vise-versa. In this case, they have to fight for students to maintain the power to make and second motions. In addition, they should be hand in hand with students to fight for student rights to have a vote in the College Council. Given our small community at UB, we cannot afford to develop a pluralistic confrontation policy to improve the University standard and student quality of life. Instead, we have to encourage pluralistic cooperation because it is the best policy on this campus to bring a pleasant and harmonious environment in a sense of community and the universal feeling of oneness. To achieve this end, I suggest all of UB’s community to give personal attention to one another without respect to race, national origin, religion or sex; to design programs to educate the various segments of the community about one group to another especially for minority and foreign students, to bring mutual understanding and respect by working together. — Gumwan Sulla w an Member of the University-Wide Study Group on Attrition/Retention it~ * - Rub.o* 6Floz No separate conditioning step, nothing extra to buy.

Since Govenor Carey was elected, construction at the Amherst campus came to a halt. Only in his fourth year, election year, has any money been allocated. The Governor winged in a couple of months ago, said that he would allocate $50 million to UB several weeks before election. The question is, where has he been for three and a half years. In the various decisions that the Governor has made which effect the University system, it is equally clear that UB has been ignored. Using the Dental School as an example, the Governor made a decision last May to allocate $18 million to build a brand new state dental school at the Stony Brook campus and, based on the same Task Force report at the same time, he made no time or dollar commitments to renovating UB, when those renovations and improvements are needed badly. This, to me, is one clear illustration of where the Governor’s priorities lie and I feel strongly that Assemblyman Duryea would treat Buffalo much more fairly." Candidates air pro-UB policies in cordial debate for Assembly seat Editor’s note: The following interview with State Assemblyman James Fremming and Williamsville Mayor William Scheffer was set up by The Spectrum to compare and contrast the views of the two candidates the 146 ih for Assembly District, which includes the area surrounding the Campus. Amherst Fremming is running on a Democratic-Conservative ticket while Scheffer is the endorsed Republican candidate. The interview was conducted in a generally cordial atmosphere at Squire Hall. The candidates seemed to know each other quite well and addressed each other by their first names. Despite the animities, Fremming and Scheffer have been engaged in a neck-and-neck race for the Assembly seat for weeks. Politically, both candidates are conservative and so alike in their political philosophies that Fremming only narrowly defeated Scheffer in last month's Conservative primary. Despite their philosophical uniformity, the candidates are ardent supporters of their respective political parties platforms and candidates for governor. Fremming and Scheffer responded to the same questions. Fremming tended to answer questions in a rather concise, terse fashion while Scheffer responded in a more lengthy manner typical of a campaigning politician. - by Harvey Shapiro and Joel Dimarco Ffom 1975-77 construction at the Amherst Q. Campus was frozen, despite University pleas. What would you do to bring more construction to the campus? — Fremming “It’s a question of what 1 have done. back to 1977, I first contacted Peter Goldmeyer, the state Budget Director, and after a series of meetings with him, he suggested that if 1 could come dp with $3 million in local funding, he would come up with $12.6 million in state funding because there was $ 15.6 million of building construction all set to go. As a result of meetings — Going with local leaders we eventually did receive a commitment that we would come up with the $3 million. On the strength of that, the $15.6 million of construction funds were released and that broke the capital construction freeze in the state in 1977. In 1978 we followed the same procedures and this time, working with the Governor’s Office on Higher Education and the state Budget Director, we were very successful in coming up with $50 million. And, if I may quote a Buffalo Evening News article, “Governor Carey praised Assemblyman Fremming for being persistent absolutely and unendurable in his efforts for getting this all going.” Scheffer “The Amherst Campus, and SUNY Buffalo in general, has suffered considerably in the last four years since Governor Carey was elected and the Democrats took control of the Assembly, including Assemblyman Fremming. That, particularly in comparison with other universities within the state system, it is clear that Buffalo has been discriminated against. It’s one thing to say that dollars Jiave stopped coming in because of various fiscal reasons, but apparently those same fiscal crises haven’t affected other campuses as much. I think we need more effective and vigorous representation before the Governor, before the State Legislature, before the bureaucracies. That applies across the board, but there are very specific examples of the Libraries, the Dental School, per enrolled pupil allocations, that it has to be hit on a specific item by item basis as they come up; to see that UB achieves parity and is treated fairly in comparison with other state schools. That is what 1 would work for in dealing with specifics as they come up to see that we don’t lag behind, that our students and faculty are not disciminated — University will look for more money. From my position, we worked very hard to get the maximum amount of money for the University, considering the present fiscal situation in the state. 1 have letters with me from Dr. Naughton (Dean of the Medical School), as an example, and other leading officials within the University, who have been highly complimentary relative to my activities on behalf of the University.” “Again it’s difficult to analyze that Scheffer question in terms of absolute dollars. It’s definitely true that Buffalo wants and needs and should have more dollars in their operating budget. But the economy is not in good shape and many institutions are suffering, so the only valid basis of comparison is how well is UB doing in comparison with other state schools. I’m suggesting that they are doing rather badly and that overall to compare UB, not just the - dental school or the Libraries, since Jim and the Governor have taken office there has been a total difference of over $77 million in state allocations to Stony Brook versus those to Buffalo. I think there needs to be parity, a certain fundamental equality and fairness between Buffalo and other state campuses such as Stony Brook and that’s what I would work for; to see that the rest of the WNY economy, to see that WNY students, those attending WNY university are not discriminated against in comparison to a college downstate.” Q. —■ The constitution of New York allows the state Division of Budget (DOB) to make line by line adjustments to all University budget requests. Would you support an amendment to the Constitution which would have DOB tell the University how much money they have available, and let the officials of UB determine where to allocate it? “1 can, of course, conceive of an Scheffer amendment saying basically that which you read, but 1 would not support one which had unreasonable criteria or extraneous legislation in it, but I do support the concept. I feel strongly that accountants and budget directors can make the decisions, together with the legislature and Govenor what dollars there are to spend statewide. I feel equally as strongly that the University itself is best qualified to see which programs are the priority programs which will best help the quality of the University, and it gets it out of the realm of politics. It keeps money from going to the most politically attractive program as opposed to the most educationally attractive programs and .those things aren’t always the same. So, I feel that type of amendment would be a step forward.” Fremming “Yes, I’d be in favor of the administration of the University knowing how much money they have to work with and letting them best use that money in their judgement. They are close to the problems,- they are educators and therefore I think there should be sufficient confidence in the educators to allow them to use their discretion in making the right decision.” - — Parcel B is that tract of land on the Amherst Q. Campus designated for commercial development. What steps do you feel must be taken to encourage the — development of Parcel B? "Well I feel I am somewhat familiar with Fremming it because in 1975 Jim McFarland and myself carried the bill whereby the UB Foundation will lease out the property for commercial use to better service the students and I was in favor of it at that time and I still am in favor of it." “I think that it is another example of a Scheffer plan, and a sound one, that hasn't gone very far under Governor Carey and that it is a priority item that would help to integrate the University within the community. It would have residents coming in to shop and work and I think it’s a worthwhile project and the Assemblyman of the district ought to fight hard for it.” - Q. A substantial sum of money is presently spent by the State to rent facilities at Ridge Lea while the Amherst Campus is under construction. Do you feel that it's important that Ridge Lea be discontinued as soon as possible,-possibly even before the completion of Amherst? — “Yes, I think that if the construction Scheffer program had followed its planned course, that between the Main Street and Amherst campuses the total education program could be run more efficiently and would not only cut down on costs to the State and to the University but to students and faculty; cost and inconvenience to the University Community.” Fremming “Yes, I’d definitely be in favor of moving out of there as quickly as possible. Not only would you save the rental costs, but also, I’d like to call your attention to the busing from the various locations has run as high as $700,000. Now, if you were in one location the savings in itself could be used to accelerate the build-up program. Also, the students would have a better - - educational experience. Numerous initiative proposals allowing the 0public to make amendments to the State Constitution were brought up before the Legislature this year. Would you support such an initiative proposal? — Q. If Perry Duryea is elected Governor, do you feel that the Amherst Campus will be completed any swifter? “Yes, regardless of how it is carried out, Fremming what you’re doing is giving full participation to the taxpayer and I think at all times I would welcome that.” “From my situation and my efforts with Fremming Carey in the past, 1 thought we have been very successful. When you look back, to 1975 and the state fiscal crisis, New York State bonds were not even saleable at twelve percent, so I believe, under those circumstances, we’ve come a long way. But I would be just as forceful with Perry Duryea as I have been with Hugh Carey.” proposal. I would support an initiative proposal that was drafted constructively. What 1 mean is I can conceive of legislation calling for public initiative and referendums that would be irresponsible, would inject even more politics into the running of government tjian is currently there. A constructive approach would benefit the state and give full participation to the voter.” — — - Scheffer - “1 wouldn’t support any initiative against.” How high does the completion of the Amherst Q. campus rate on your list of priorities? — Scheffer - “1 rate completion of the Amherst campus extremely high as an A-l priority issue in the district. I think the University is vital to the area and in fact it transcends partisan politics. One of the jobs of the Assemblyman from this district is to get the eleven or so Assemblymen behind the Amherst campus. It’s difficult to fight the battle just because the fact that it is in this district doesn’t mean that all the Western New York - legislators should be concerned with it. I would rate it in the top three issues in this campaign.” “Well, with me, as it has in the past, the Fremming campus has the highest priority, not only because we want to establish a great educational institution but it’s good for — the economy of Western New York and the development of the peripheral area surrounding the University. As an example, UDC owns 2400 acres adjoining the campus that, until now, has been dormant land. But, with the confidence from the private sector that there will be a buildout, the private sector has expressed their interest in the property and the side effects will result in a tremendous lift for the economy of WNY.” Lately, UB has not received what officials here Q. consider to be an adequate operating budget. As a member of the Legislature, do you see any way in which you could aid the University in attaining an adequate operating budget? — Fremming “There j — isn’t any question that the —Korotkin CANDIDATES DEBATE: State Assemblyman James Fremming (foreground) and Williamsville Mayor William Scheffer (rear) took time out from their campaigns for the 146 Assembly District last week to debate some of the issues affecting UB and the state.

It all depends on the type of plant aad your habits in caring for Overwatering is the number one mistake of plant-owners. Stagnation will occur if the soil is not allowed to dry out between waterings. The roots can’t breathe if they are constantly flooded; the plant’s circulation is at a standstill and the leaves do not get oxygen, thus they begin to yellow. In winter particularly, plants are in danger of drying out for lack of humidity. When the heat goes on and the temperature in your house rises, moisture in the air evaporates more rapidly. House plants actually do best at 55-60 degrees. Increase the humidity of your plant by placing the pot on small stones or pebbles in a saucer of water. If it needs intensive care, encase the plant in a clear plastic bag secured with a twist tie and punctured with pin holes for a week or so, until it starts to look alive again.

Main Street Campus. growing of legions migratory workers, drifting from one poor job to another, from one city to another, unable to put down roots or provide sfor a family, say economic observers. Greater service Columbia University economist F,li Ginzberg notes that although national weekly earnings averaged SI76 in 1976, the average pay in service jobs was just $146 and the retail average only $114. And yet, he says, three out of four new jobs in the past 26 years have been in these categories. The decline in skill requirements has not only hit the high-skill areas, such as butchers, tool and dye makers and other THCSTROH at some E mployees McDonald’s restaurants. for example, now merely have to push cash register buttons marked not by numbers but by pictures of hamburgers or french fries or milkshakes. The machines then do all the computing and tally up the change, an arithmetical task the employee once was expected to perform. What happened, adds has that America has “created a lower level of jobs where no reading or writing skills Pipho, is are needed The growth of this “lower level caste," in turn, is a contributing factor to the failure of schools to even maintain. upgrade educational achievement, some educators believe “In the past, it paid to do well in school to get a better job,” said Henry Levin, Stanford University education and economics professor. “Today, there’s the feeling that better jobs represent so few, you can’t get them anyway.” Drop in scores “I think (students) are aware that college won’t do what it used COMPANY, DETROIT, MICHIGAN 1 © IPTR 2 to do,” said Rozanne Weissman, a spokeswoman for the National Association, Education the nation’s second largest union. "Teachers have been telling us about less motivated kids." This lack of motivation perhaps the result of the students’ own awareness that most jobs are poorly paid and no longer require much in the way of skills has produced just the sort of job seekers who fit the "lower level caste” of workers. The rate of "functional illiteracy” not being able to read a newspaper or fill out a job application is about 13 per cent of all 17-year old high school students (not counting the thousands who drop out annually), according to the National federally financed Assessment of Educational Progress. Functional illiteracy among Blacks and Hispanics is believed to be much higher. And, while there has been some progress made on the functional illiteracy rates, overall educational standards, as reflected by College the Entrance Examination Board, have been steadily declining. Between 1962 and 1976, average scores on the verbal portion of the Scholastic Aptitude Test have declined from 478 to 429, a 12.5 percent drop. Motivation for education has suffered so badly that many schools are now reporting an average daily absentee rate as high as 25 per cent. Some educators are convinced that the trend in the job market away from jobs requiring skills and education has indirectly lower overall helped to educational standards by easing the pressure on the schools and on the government to improve those standards. In other words, if industry doesn’t need skilled workers, why bother to produce skilled students? Inexorable changes “There’s a total lack of coordination between schools and the job sector,” said the NEA’s Weissman. “It’s appalling.” Weissman’s observation applies as well to the other end of e> O the educational spectrum, those who have college graduates acquired high skills in order to find satisfying, good paying jobs. Federal projections indicate a surplus of some 950,000 college graduates in relation to the market for graduates during the current period of 1974-85. The Joint Economic Committee labor study released this year predicts that this “clot” of highly educated graduates “will mean relatively few opportunities for new graduates through the year 2000.” Of course, what is happening is /*> » o educated, skilled are accepting jobs well below their skill levels as secretaries and salesmen, that these graduates restaurant 9 « A “Care to join me in a cold Stroll s?” workers, creating a kind of educated proletariat. But at the same time, they are “bumping down” high school graduates and the less skilled workers who narmally fill such jobs into what some economists fear will be a permanent underclass with virtually no prospects for advancement. The result is a bleak picture for those at both ends, but especially for the less educated minority youths who are hit hardest by the crunch. By the end of this century, predicts Stephen Dresch, director of the Demographic Studies Institute in Connecticut, the of the “tradiational social and mechanisms of economic advancement” will, if current patterns hold, lead to socially “fundamental and undermining traumatic disruptions For the real beer lover. . .

GENESEO The soccer Bulls troubles continued Saturday as they were beaten 3-1 by the Geneseo Knights. Buffalo ran into a hot goaltender, Geneseo’s senior captain Mark Butler. Butler made 17 saves, sever of them outstanding to thwart many UB scoring attempts. Rick Butterworth put Geneseo in front midway through the first half. Butterworth came in alone, and beat UB goalie Mike Preston. Buffalo outplayed Geneseo throughout the half, with only the great play of Butler, keeping the Knights ahead, 1-0. Ben Mojallali put Geneseo in front 2-0, early in the second half. Mojallali received a perfect feed, and was wide open on the right side. The Bulls then fought back and cut the deficit in half. Luis Azcue put Buffalo back in the game, as he scored off a scramble, created by a corner kick. Buffalo continued to press in an attempt to get the equalizer, but Butler wouldn’t budge. John Wabach wrapped it up for Geneseo, with a goal late in the game. The goal went in inadvertently off a Buffalo halfback. Even though the team suffered its seventh defeat in 10 decisions, the feeling was that the team played will and deserved a better fate.

Zolczer was very upset afterward, feeling she should have won, especially after beating top players Ann Waddell of Buffalo State, 9-7, and Karen Utz of Canisius, 8-2. Waddell, for instance, is excellent in every phase of tennis, but she only played even with Zolczer for part of the match. “My concentration improved toward the end,” said Zolczer, who overcame visible frustration (because of close misses) to decide the score in her favor. She then boosted her confidence further, cruching Utz. She explained her last win, “I let her make the mistakes and my serve was going really good,” after which she turned it right around, herself making the miscues and losing to Colagrassi. Warmed up The rest of the UB players had relatively effortless matches, each taking three out of three despite the cold Heidi Juhl explained the reason, “Once you get warmed up it doesn’t bother you at all Hard to believe0 Not after she beat three solid players in third singles. First, she won a stroking contest from Jadzia Zawitkowski (Buffalo State), and then overwhelmed Laurie Sturges 8-3, (Canisius), 8-1; finally a tired Juhl got past Meg cooney’s accurate baseline shots to beat her Niagara opponent, 8-3 Another Royal who didn’t mind the low temperatures was Dee Dee Fisher who according to coach Connie Camnitz, “doesn’t let anything upset her.” The carefree sophomore rallied from a 4-1 deficit in her last match and beat Barb Hay of the Purple Eagles, 8-6 observing, “She made mistakes and I was lucky.” She didn’t need luck in her previous second singles matches breezing by Cathy Kujawa (Canisius), 8-0, and outlasting the aggressive and talented Rose Mastriacova (Buffalo State), 84. The latter used her sharp forehand and good movement to neutralize Fisher, but, being overweight, her mobility sagged after eight games, and she succumbed to Fisher’s graceful style of play and intense concentration. Carol Waddell (fourth singles) also had a great day, capped by a gutsy comeback victory. Down 6-3 to Niagara’s Mary Meade, she fought back to win 9-7. “I started to hit hard. I just got determined that I was going to win,” she explained. Next on the agenda for the Royals, after today’s 4 p.m. match with Niagara at Amherst, in which April Zolczer will try to avenge her loss to Michelle Colagrassi, is the New York State Championships at Binghamton (October 21-22).

The Bulls apparently were' tosses were intercepted. * Credit for the coaches On the ground, the Bulls’ straight ahead running provided them with a controlled offense, and late in the first quarter they began to put together a drive that ate up huge chunks of yardage. Mark Gabryel and fullback Gary Feltz each took turns handling the ball and moved the Bulls within inches of the goal line. But on it fourth down, Gabryel was unable to accelerate into the line and was of the score. —continued on page 17 stopped short Carey said that all such charges had been “dredged up in found to be baseless. 1974” and Then Carey, obviously furious, intoned, “1 haven’t brought up your indictment . . because that was thrown out of court because the law was not drawn properly,” he said. “You were however, in the judge’s opinion, accused of dirty tricks, which you admitted in a magaiine article. It’s a dirty trick now, Mr. Duryea, to talk about my family,” Carey stated. Duryea was indicted in 1974 on a charge that he had violated the Election Law in a scheme to siphon votes from the Democratic campaign by covertly supporting Liberal Party candidates for the Assembly. The charges were subsequently dismissed. One of the most astonishing aspects of Wednesday night was that the candidates came up with such divergent statistics. Carey said 900,000 jobs were lost in this state during the Republican administrations of Nelson Rockefeller and Malcolm Wilson. Duryea insisted that 564,000 were gained by the state during the same . period. Carey claimed there have been 26,900 new jobs in the Buffalo area since taking office. Duryea replied that 13,544 jobs had been lost. Carey reacted by saying “I was here in the Blizzard of ‘77 and now we’re getting a snow job in 1978 -continued on page 6- Corey pledges to repeol disguised ‘health fee’ in 1979 by Daniel Parker Campus Editor SUNY students’ year-long against the $17 mandatory battle health fee has won. New York Governor Hugh Carey, gahhing for student support in his re-election bid, yielded to pressure from been the Student Association of the State University (SASU) last week and pledged to repeal the fee beginning next year. The fee, instituted last fall to offset the state legislature’s $2.3 million cut in the SUNY budget, was bitterly opposed by SASU as a disguised tuition hike. The fee’s revenues did not go to health services on individual cmapuses, but rather to the general SUNY operating fund. Carey also proposed a SUNY-wide Health Foundation that would insure equal health insurance coverage for all SUNY students. SUNY Buffalo students already has its own’ mandatory health insurance program, administered by Sub Board I Inc., the student corporation. Long battle SASU and student government leaders conducted a massive lobbying effort against the fee last year, coupled with a student boycott here and letter writing campaigns at Trustees instituted the fee despite a 1963 mandate that health care would be other SUNY schools. Student Association (SA) Acting President Karl Schwartz said, “It’s a very substantial victory because students don’t have to pay $17 per year. It proves that when students organize, we can be an effective voice and achieve our desired included in tuition. “Mandates can be overridden and that’s exactly what happened,” he said. SASU Legislative Director David Coyne labeled the fee “a tremendous consumer fraud on the part goals.” of the State.” Schwartz praised SASU’s long battle against the fee. “SASU took an issue and moved on it.” Schwartz said, “It can happen more if it chooses specific issues nad follows them through.” SASU Communications Assistant Lobby Post, expressing her personal views and not those of SASU said, “Carey’s decision is not as much of an election year ploy as some of the other things I’ve seen.” Post said that she doubts SASU will organize a boycott of the fee this year. She said, “I assume if students don’t pay Last year’s efforts to repeal the fee which included a student boycott gathered over 700 student signatures here on cards, and 20,000 statewide pledging not to pay the mislabeled fee.

The restraining order, filed by Director of Academic Affairs Sheldon Gopstein, Director of Student Affairs Lori Pasternak, Director of Activities and Services Barry Rubin and Treasurer Fred Wawtzonek challenges former SA President Richard Mott’s authority to call a general election. Katz said, “Chief Justice Michelle Sneider and myself are in the process of looking at all aspects of the situation and we hope to rule on the order by Monday.” Normally three justices are required to take part in a decision but due to the inexperience of the recently appointed justices, only Katz and Sneider, who have previous court experience, will rule on the restraining order, Katz said. She said it “would be belter if the two of us made a decision than having some unfamiliar with the process rule ontthe case,” The justices have consulted with Associate Director of Student the administration's link with SWJ to Affgjrs Ron DoUmann inlure that a ruling made only by two justices does not violate rules of the judiciary. Even if the restraining order is not served, “we will still challenge the legality of a general election,” said Wawrzonek. Pasternak. Rubin and Wawrzonek will submit a brief challenging Mott’s contention that a general election could be called according to Article III Section 3.6A of the SA constitution. Following submittal of the brief, the as yet unnamed defendant will have ten days to present a case. SWJ will then call for a hearing between the concerned parties. Following the hearing, the judiciary will have 14 days to render a verdict. - — STUDENT AFFAIRS TASK FORCE MEETING Wednesday, Oct. 18 at 5:00 pm in room 302 Squire Hall Senators WILL be Elected at this Meeting Attendance at two consecutive meetings makes you a voting member of the task force •FEE WAIVER The Gray Panthers: young and old people with common goals Staff Writer “Rocking Chair Rights” “Wrinkle Power” “Senior Citizens are People too!” The force of liberation has spread to a forgotten and neglected group in our society those over 65.

Joseph Hanna, who has lived in Niagara Falls his entire life’ described the area as “nothing but holes. Everybody dumped their chemicals there,” he said. The group expressed unanimous concern for this problem and wanted to help the area in any way they could. Kramer’s statement “We have to get some form of action going,” summed up the Gray Panther’s — basis of chronological age. The Gray Panthers organization also recognizes that older people are a great national resource whose experience, wisdom, and competence often go unrecognized and unused. Because of this waste, the group strives for the establishment of creative paths which enable older people to make their valuable contribution to society. The major concerns of the Gray Panters include the enactment of a National Health Service a tax supported, comprehensive health care system controlled by the people, and the reform of educational systems to include programs for people all ages. In addition efforts are made to support a national program of housing which would incorporate a cultural mix of various age groups, income levels and racial backgrounds, and the establishment of adequate mass transit systems. Other group goals include the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment and the Equal Opportunity for Displaced Homemakers Act, steps that would provide women with the indpendence and economic security necessary to survive in today’s world. — UB Panthers — , At this University, 66 year old Jacob Kramer, a student in the sociology department, initiated development of the Gray Panthers on campus.

Kramer also reported on some actions of his own, in the form of two bills aimed at achieving free tuition on campus for senior citizens. The highlight of the afternoon was resident coordinator for College H, Wayne Mitic, who spoke on “Nutrition for the Elderly”. Mitic, a graduate student here, generated a lively atmosphere, and discussed many questions and myths about eating habits with the audience.

The conference was supported and attended by a number of other advocacy groups from the Western New York area including the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), People’s Power Coalition (PPC), Child and Family Services, and the Fillmore-Leroy Area Residents. Inc. (FLARE). The morning session was chaired by David Collins, Common Councilman for Buffalo’s Masten District. Collins impressed on the audience the fact that the residents of his district have the lowest average income in the city and are frequently hard hit by utility rate increases. “My constituents Tire faced with the enormous problem of survival,” he declared. Commissioner Mead The morning’s first speaker was Natalie Schladerman of the Massachusetts Fair Share organization. Fair Share is an advocacy organization founded in Massachusetts that has served as a model for numerous other utility reform groups around the country. Schladerman stressed the importance of strong community support public in the success of any movement, no matter how small. “Get out into advocacy The most distinctive speaker of the morning was Commissionei Ann Mead of the Public Service Commission (PSC). Mead is a former consumer advocate appointed by Govetnor Hugh Carey as one of the three women now serving on the PSC. Mead attempted to fill in the gaps in knowledge that most of the conference at tenders had about the functions and workings of the PSC. For example. Mean informed her audience that the PSC does not just regulate one phone company in this state (New York Telephone), but a total of 46 telephone companies ranging from so-called “mom and pop” phone companies to fairly large independent phone companies such as Rochester Telephone. One of Mead’s biggest accomplishments Jias been the drafting of the “hardship rules” that were implemented by the PSC after the tragic deaths of several people in their own homes last year because their heat was shut off due to non-payment of gas bills. Under Mead’s rules, utilities may not shut off service between December I and April 15 without first making personal .contact with the bill-payer. The utility employees who will perform these contacts are presently being trained at places throughout the state by the New York Department of Social Services (DSS). if the utility employee finds unusual or SUNY BUFFALO Frisbee Tournament Open to Everyone Friday October 20 Field Five.

Mead was thankful that such measures would be ready in time for winter but cautioned, “1 am well aware that this is not perfect . . - it is still somewhat experimental.” Public power Mead concluded by saying that the movement for utility reform would doubtlessly gain increased support in the future, “I will tell you that gas bills are going to go up,” Mead admitted, “Not because of anything we do, but because gas rates are going to be deregulated by the Congress.” The conference broke up into five workshops each specializing on a particular issue. One of these workshops was entitled “Public Power” and was convened by Bart Bouricius and Kathy Connally of the People’s Power Coalition (PPC). The PPC has led a campaign in Buffalo to establish non-profit, publically owned utilities. University District Councilman Eugene M. Fahey addressed the group and informed them of the basic- procedure laid down in Section 360 of the Municipal Law for taking public control of a private utility. The first step would be a feasibility study conducted by the City of Buffalo to determine the exact value of the utility within the city limits. From there, a referendum would have to be passed by the citizens of Buffalo. Finally, the utility would be taken to a condemnation court where it would be forced to turn over control of its city properties in return for a cash settlement of the worth of the property. Fahey also pointed out that all utilities in Buffalo were originally owned by the customers but were sold under very peculiar and Ridge Lea brings back fond memories for some by Kurt Rothenberger Spectrum Staff Writer Ridge Lea Ov«£ needed. the years, it has been described as pleasant, lonely, spacious, inconvenient, isolated, comfortable, and expensive.

But instead of owning the buildings and land, the facility was to be rented by the University and abandoned when the completion of the new campus enabled departments to move to permanent locations. year, Later that the University signed a lease with the Maret Corporation of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to supply 175,000 square feet of floor space to be for constructed and ready occupancy by January 1, 1967. The campus was eventually enlarged to 575,000 square feet, The Ridge Lea, with fourteen buildings. The lease called for an initial occupancy period of five years, with yearly options for an additional five years, according to then Director University Planning and of Development William F. Doemland. This was deemed sufficient because in 1966, Doemland believed that Ridge Lea would be used for “a maximum of seven years.” The lease was eventually renegotiated. Strong opposition Even though Ridge Lea was always considered a temporary facility, it was important to Maret that the buildings be versatile enough for private Use after the University’s departure. Originally, Maret hoped the facility could be later converted to an industrial park <5r shopping mall which caused problems for the campus. In order to be used commercially, the campus land had to be re-zoned by the town of Amherst. University Park, Inc., a firm which had been competing with Maret for the conjarct, opposed in hopes of the re-zoning, nullifying the lease. Local residents also strongly opposed this measure, leading to a rejection of the re-zoning request by the Amherst Jown Board, in ' 1966. This move endangered the building permit, and the plans for construction of the campus. —continued on page 6— �* I DIVERSITY by Marshall Rosenthal Special Feature!

Stony Brook Is not the only institution within the State System faced with the task of presidential selection. Buffalo State.College, although still in the planning stages of assembling a Search Committee, will eventually seek to fill the position of current President E.K. Fretwell who is leaving Buffalo. , Indignant students at SUNY Stony Brook are presently questioning the democracy and ethnicity of Stony Brook Council’s decision to appoint one student to a 13 member Presidential Search Committee, to replace former President John Tell. A September 17 motion passed unanimously by Polity Council, the student government orgainzation at Stony Brook, stated “The Stony Brook Council has reduced its students to second-class citizens in their own University.” The University newspaper Statesman termed the representation of 17,000 by only one student “criminal.” A Presidential Search Committee is the most important body involved in the selection process. Section 356-4A of the State Education Laws states the Committee’s responsibility to “Recommend to the State University Trustees a candidate for appointment by the STate University Trustees at the head of such an institution.” ; ‘Immoral and unacceptable’ According to Statesman Editor Jack Millrod, “The Committee was created by the Stony Brook Council the local governing board, handpicked by the Governor to recommend an individual to the Chancellor who then refers this recommendation to the Board of Trustees.” Millrod added that the Committee, made up of faculty, Council members, and one student, is chaired by R.C. Anderson, who “as Chairman of the Council appointed himself to the committee position.” Anderson was not available for comment. A September 15 Statesman article stated that Polity was charging the board with “immoral and unacceptable” beharior and the editoral of three days later read, “The Stony Brook Council has succeeded in practically cutting oft student input in the search process by allowing only token representation in the only phase of the search process in which students Can actually participate.” It also reported that the Council refused to “disclose the criteria used to select that student.” - — „ Criteria not disclosed According to the Committee’s selected Student Representative, Peter Scherer, “Polity had originally hoped for three student representatives, but the Faculty Senate only granted one seat.” While not revealing the criteria used by the Council, Scherer explained that originally Polity subn.itted five names ARB alters procedure for serving wine, beer Alcohol Review Board (ARB), in conjunction with Food last Friday intorduced a number of procedural changes for social functions' where alcohol is served.

A second recommendation passed by ARB insures that the noise leaving the outer perimeter of the Campuses does not exceed 30 decibels, “a level similar to soft conversation,” according to Environmental Health and Safety representative Robert Hunt. High decibel readings in WUkeson Pub along with complaints from Amherst dormers led to a recommendation to regulate the decibel levels on the Pub dance floor. ARB called for guidelines limiting the decibel levels to 93 for bass and 105 for treble, slightly above ear, damage levels. A new sound system arrangement to place the speakers in four opposite corners will aid in keeping the sound contained within Total University participation Accoording to Joyce Fink, Director of Public Affairs at Buff State, the Advisory Council is in the process of selecting members for the Search Committee. Stating that representitives will be drawn from faculty and staff members, she added, “I’m sure students will be a part of the advisory group for the search process.” She was, however, unable to give any definite numbers. Should the need ever arise at this University, the UB College Council would be an integral part of the the Pub. selection process. Composed of nine prominent community members and one elected student representative, the Council would, according to member Phyllis Kelly, “Maintain an advisory role, recommending to the Board of Trustees a person for the Presidency.” While Council member Robert Millonzi refused to confront the issue of whether the unfavorable student ratio would remain should Presidential selection be under consideration “because 1 don’t he stated that the proper ratio was anticipate it” mandated by state law and commented, “1 have nothing to say about it.” This University’s student representative, Michael Pierce termed the ratio a “form of disenfranchisement ignoring 25,000 students,” TO BENEFIT and hypothesized on a situation of Presidential THE CREATIVE CRAFT CENTER search. “1 have to go beyond saying students should be involved,” he stated. “What about faculty and 1-5 Wed. and Thurs.

Carey gives the recommendation in his television commercials which proudly*proclaim, “The more you know “looking to the the facts, the more you know Hugh Carey’s right ... for Governor,” Record worthless But never before in the history of politics, has looking at the record proved to be such frustrating means of determining the best candidate from a student viewpoint. It is true that Governor Carey's administration was largely responsible foi freezing Hie construction of the Amherst campus in 1975. Duryea, on the other hand was the founding father of the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) often regarded as one of the most progressive financial aid systems in the nation. However, it is also true that in the same year that Amherst construction was frozen, Carey saved the City University of New York (CUNY) from radical cuts and campus closings by heavily enriching that same TAP system which Duryea founded. Yet Duryea is not finished with TAP. Addressing the joint Student Senate of CUNY last month, Duryea said, “Part-time students will be made eligible for financial aid from the State iff am elected governor. The extension of state assistance is necessary due to the increasing number of students who hold jobs and attend college on a part-time basis.” Duryea recalled that last year, as Republican minority leader of the State Assembly, he supported legislation to extend financial aid to part-time students. The legislation was stalled in the Assembly. For his part, Carey claims to have “increased the general levels of student tuition assistance” although Duryea refutes this, insisting, “Carey has repeatedly tried to cut aid to higher education.” - were Duryea futher alleges that college students are additionally penalized by Carey’s policies at graduation time. “Under Governor Carey, 200,000 jobs and hundreds of businesses have fled New York,” declares Duryea, “New York undergraduates justifiably wonder where New York’s business and jobs are going and whether they will be - forced to follow.” Carey does have'a certain advantage over Duryea in that his more liberal politics are frequently found more appealing by college students. During the entire 1974 gubernatorial campaign, Carey promised that he would not sign a death penalty bill into law. During each of his four years in office, despite enormous popular and political pressure to approve a capital punishment bill, Carey has vetoed each death penalty bill. Bach veto has been sustained!

In 1967, even before the completion of the Ridge Xea campus, the University was renting or had options to rent over 1,000.000 square feel of floor space, according to an article in the Courier-Express. At its renting peak, in the late I960’s, the University was occupying space at forty separate off campus locations, according to Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal, This number of rental facilities created a financial burden on the University’s operating Since State has budget, -f In the late I960’s, the off campus space was deemed necessary in order to gradually build toward an expected doubling of University population by the mid I970’s, an increase that never occured. However, because of construction delays on the Amherst campus, many of the departments utilizing off campus or rented space were unable to move back on campus. The Ridge Lea campus is one of the better examples of this problem. “skyrocketing costs of listed materials and labor, plus delays . . . pending the integration of the work force," as the cause for the delay. In 1974, with the Ellicott and Complex Governor’s Residence Halls complete and some of the academic spine under construction, it appeared Amherst would be slowly but steadily finished and thus Ridge Lea could be slowly but steadily vacated. But, in October of 1975, the State University Construction Fund declared a moratorium on all new construction in the SUNY system, one which remained in effect until this year. Buildings that were already in the process of construction at the time of the moratorium were allowed to be completed.

The Department of Psychology was hurt most by these moves. “There were several effects,” explained Psychology professor Joseph Masting. “The busing is no encouragement for students to come here for classes and for experiments.

The University has a new lease “which just went into effect this Vice Assistant year,” said President for Finance and Management Harry Poppey. The three year contract calls for rental of eight buildings (234,000 square feet) at a cost of $843,000 a year. Both Neal and Poppey agree that the only way to get the University out of Ridge Lea involves construction of new buildings at Amherst. “The State the past three years there has been no authorization for new buildings to go up.” But Poppey thinks that Governor Carey’s announcement of $48 million for Amherst construction earlier this year was a good sign. “We are hoping that i( is going again because the State of New York does have a commitment here.” �Narcotic chief charged with ‘evil weed’ hype Tuesday October 17th at 8:30 pm A growing fun guy from New York Tommy Koenig A close associate of former Narcotics Bureau chief Harry Anslinger says that Anslinger purposely “sensationalized" information given to order to get anti-marijuana legislation passed in 1937 the magazine. High Times has learned. Dr. James Munch, the only scientific expert to testify at the 1937 hearings on the Marihuana Tax Act. said that "We had to do something Congress in to get C ongress stirred up to pass legislation." Munch, a pharmacologist and toxicologist, worked under Anslinger, who was the main driving lorce behind the nation’s anti-pot laws. According to Munch, who now does consulting work for the Food and Drug Administration, Anslinger may have fabricated facts in his testimony before Congress. Supposedly documented cases of people turning irrationally violent were used as evidence of a causal link between marijuana use and crime. Says Munch: “It cpuld well be that some of them never used marijuana.” About one specific case, that of a Mexican youth in Tampa who killed his family with an ax allegedly while under the influence of marijuana. Munch said: “The story was that the people were dead. That s the important thing. Never mind why they were dead, but they were dead. Later investigation revealed that the youth was a chronic scizophrenic known to the police, who had tried to remove him from his home. Munch also insisted that marijuana “produces irreversible brain damage and the blacks “show stronger reactions to the same dose than white folks” owing to “racial” differences. Munch added that I m prepared to believe from the information supplied me that this product would be helpful in certain cases of glaucoma,” In Munch’s original testimony before Congress, he asserted that both the male and female marijuana plants contained psychoative properties. He based his contention on the fact that he had smoked both, after getting permission to raise marijuana for test purposes on his Pennsylvania farm.

However, Student Government representative Bob Webster feels that the action was “typical” of Golding. “If it doesn’t conform to Golding’s very non-committal criteria, strict, there is little chance that the sculpture would stay at Kent State,” he said.

But after this clear triumph over the Health Fee's thinly veiled tuition hike, SASU must aim its lobbying efforts at crucial matters of policy in theSUNY system. Students are still afforded a feeble voice on most decision-making bodies. Political realities leave SASU unable to twist anyone's arm the way labor unions in this state do; but in an election year, pressure on the state to yield things other than monev is difficult to avoid. For example, Carey and Republican Perry Duryea cannot tell us the state is too poor to grant its students a larger role in SUN Y decision-making. We can picture SASU succeeding in correcting criminal imbalances such as: one non-voting student member on the SUNY Board of Trustees; one non-voting member on the individual College Councils; no guarantee of student representation on the search committees for SUNY presidents; and no guarantee of student representation at annual budget hearings. SASU should call for the SUNY Board of Trustees-or at to meet once a year at every least several of its members campus and respond to student concerns. It should pressure the state to de-emphasize the authority of the College Councils appointed bodies of fat-cats whose distaste for students is usually equalled by their ignorance of public education. Ultimately, we'd like to see the College Council idea abolished and replaced with assemblies elected from campus-wide — — constituencies. Mott: Don't destroy To the Editor We would like to refute the allegation made by Mr. Shattan in Friday’s The Spectrum that Richard the Mott “has full power” to call for a re-election of this issue is SA. The whole controversy surrounding whether or not Richard Mott does have the power to call for this re-election. For your information Mr. Shattan, the decision is now in the hands of the Student-Wide judiciary. We also object to your “vindictive” criticism of Mr. Gopstein’s letter since it is our opinion that his antagonism is justifiably directed at Richard Mott’s poor leadership and lack of responsibility. As Mr. Shattan himself mentioned it does require some amount of dedication to make the SA work, and hopefully under a new president who is And then there are the even more crucial issues that affect all SUNY constituents, students, faculty and staff. SASU ought to be joining up with the faculty and employees unions to fight for a change in the budgeting process that would remove the heavy hand of the state legislature and the iron fist of the Division of Budget. SUNY units ought to be granted a lump sum and local rule should then take ovef in allocating money for specific needs. The students of SUNY wield nowhere near the power their numbers hold. But that can change, as the health fee triumph proved, and SASU is the only organization to change it.

It seems obvious to us that Richard Mott simply did not possess the necessary qualities to lead SA, let alone the entire student body. Upon his resignation, it was wrong to put the blame in the hands of the remaining officers, leading the students to believe that it was the ineffectiveness of the entire organization which caused him to resign. In actuality, it was his own shortcomings that led to his eventual demise. Rich, if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen but don’t destroy the kitchen on your way out. Lou Bigjak Linda Wozniak Mary Lev's non-supporters To the Editor 1 was faced with a dilemma last Sunday afternoon. Should I venture out to Baird Point and watch (or listen) to the highly publicized event which was called “Song of SUNYAB’ or should 1 watch the Bills-Jets game? After listening to Mr. Levinson ramble about how this would be a worthwhile event, drawing literally thousands of his supporters from the UB community, 1 thought it might be worth my while to attend. Well, it turned out that due to unforeseen circumstances, I was not able to attend so I watched the Bills game. After watching the game, I though it certainly would have been better to go to Baird Point. It turned out that out of Lev’s 3000 supporters, 2995 of them decided to watch the Bills game or something to that effect. A throng of five people showed up. This massive turnout amplified three points; 1) Student apathy at UB, 2) the allocation of SA funds is done by a group of morons ($800-$ 1000) for this event and $2100 plus for Hunter Thompson and, 3) which is my opinion as Students' meager influence is reflected in the SUNY Stony Brook presidential search committee, which includes but one student member out of 12. At a University that, we hope, will be searching for a president within a year, the College Council's heavy influence in the process is a vital concern. . i well as others, Levinson is a public nusiance who’s only purpose at UB is to irritate people at lunch hour in the Rathskeller. His support isn’t as big as he claims. I’m not taking this opportunity to voice my malice toward Mr. Levinson. Every university needs someone like Lev to be a hate-symbol, but to tell the SA to stop wasting student money on such foolish and frivolous events. Through careful calculations, the SA spent approximately $200 per person at the event. This is either very personalized treatment of the guests present at the event or shitty allocation by the SA’s “financial wizards”. From some of Lev’s literally thousands of non-supporters.

At night, when there was spare time, the eight pencils that started out sharp and fine would be whittled away to an unusable dull as my mother in wrote her late 40s and the bearer of five children in the silence and the solitude. For five years she wrote, and re-wrote, read and re-read, quit and resumed as she chased a PhD in the Philosophy of Education from the University of Buffalo. In the end, it was a woman’s pride and an unceasing desire to prove something to herself that dragged her through the gauntlet of frustration and bone-weary fatigue that the doctoral thesis threw at her. The diploma still hangs in our hosue now, although the wooden slide gave in to Buffalo winters and my sister’s bandannas drifted out of style. But none of this would matter when I swore all the way through high school that never, never would I come to UB everyone’s school of last resort, where the unfortunates who had not the money or the imagination to leave home envied their friends at Cornell or Clarkson, or even Binghamton.

From there 1 could look down upon the rectangles of concrete and asphalt that made it impossible to get lost on the streets of my suburban neighborhood. Though the slide was terrifyingly high, especially in nightmares, there was an irresistable thrill of perching yourself at its peak to rule over the backyards below. And, on a cloudless day, if you sat on the very top step and squinted just a little, you could see, rising above the rows of trees and white-roofed houses. The School on the Hill. To stare at it would send me off on a stream of daydreams for, to me, those were the tallest buildings in the world. Fifteen years later, they would lose that distinction, but gain the names; Goodyear, Clement, Hayes . . I never really knew that much about the University of Buffalo other than what I could piece together from passing car rides and my slide-top fantasies. It was always that mysterious combination of eleven-story buildings that remained lit at night and a beautiful sloping front lawn with huge oak trees the kind of lawn 1 suspected all good colleges had. The school was very big, I was told, and very well known around the country. The University spun deeper into mystery and struck strange notes of resentment in my mind the day my sister at 19 a bluejeaned rebel with a bandana around her neck washed pepper gas from her eyes and raced breathlessly through a tale of students and soldiers and shattered glass on the sidewalks of Main Street. “And there’s a bonfire outside Norton tonight,” she told us, her eyes burning through the watery red with an anger that knew the students and streets of 1970. “We’re going to light up the sky,” she said softly, somersaulting my carefree adolescent world into unfamiliar agonies of Wrong and Right and uprooting my peaceful image of the tree-shrouded campus. 1 remember thinking the University might . — - — - seemed to be just an extenstion of everything 1 hated about those days the lure of following the crowd.

However, that attitude is incorrect. For instance, three years ago, when I was a freshman here Governor Carey’s administration approved a $100/year increase in tuition for SUNY students and the end to free tuition for CUNY students. Also, this Governor’s State Legislature has been toying with legislation that would disqualify students from receiving unemployment benefits. that position he/she takes towards its u public universities. For the students at this educational institution not to question and investigate all the candidates almost means that we are allowing this school’s administrative body to take any action that it pleases. Usually these policies do stand in opposition to students since the administration of this University is the College Council, whose members include among others NFG and Marine Midland Bank. In the long run the people who are elected to run this State do make policies and pass laws that either comply or conflict with our lives both at work and at school. - Marcia Palley Cover the Governors To the Editor effect us as student and as citizens. As of yet 1 have no such coverage and again I urge you to implement it in our student newspaper. An urge for students to vot in this election can reduce the widespread apathy so prevalent today. Students can only vote effectively if they have some knowledge of the candidates’ platform to base their seen I think it would be a good idea and I would appreciate it greatly if' The Spectrum would cover the upcoming election for New York State governor. For many Students The Specturm is the only “newspaper” they read and a coverage of the candidates and where they stand on such issues as taxes, ERA, abortion, affirmative action, and tuition would votes on. be beneficial to all. These issues directly Carolyn Bogal Concerned about coverage To the Editor. 1 am concerned with the lack of any sort of coverage for the upcoming elections. As students at this University we should be made aware of the few alernatives there are in making a choice for governor of this State. There are some real differences in how those running feel on such issues as education and affirmative action. Who is Governor will determine who is taxed and how this money is spent. A few years ago the present governor raised the cost of education at all schools. Just recently Carey also Here at UB, students have found themselves divided over the issue of the abortion clause in student insurance. Many feel that free abortions are a right while there is. a conservative faction that-is-ef the sentiment: “Why should 1 pay for someone else’s abortion if I don’t believe ip if:” They don’t seem to care that in keeping abortions expensive, therefore denying them to poor women, forces them to “extreme” results and is also a draih on the economy., This issue goes beyond school politics. The whole country is in hot debate over it and now with elections coming up students have to consider; Do we want to vote for someone who wants to re-elect refused to grant an increase in the library budget allowed to this school. Such actions directly affect the quality of education attainable in this State. The candidates also differ on things like abortion, the death penalty, and law and order, all of which affect the quality of life in the State. It is important to know who is going to hold this office and what her/his views are. The Spectrum does not have to take sides or endorse any particular candidate. Reporting the facts will be quite sufficient. Pat Baker Carey? Remember, it was his party that passed the Hyde Amendment. Will we see him or Duryea rooting for a ..woman's free choice? It seems unlikely. Both seem more interested in stiffening penalties for juvenilles or reducing taxes for businesses, therefore cutting social-services. Duryea even supports the.'death penaly. We have to ask ourselves how will the candidates, if elected, attune themselves to the needs of the students. Editor’s note: One of the advantages of editing The Spectrum is that the Letters to the Editor column provides swift, thorough and, for the most part, or in this responsible criticsm of news coverage case lack of coverage. We agree that our treatment of the Governor's pace has not been adeauate and will - floors of the Stockton-Kimball Tower. Contrary to the implications in the article, there is no discrepancy between what I said concerning the goal of the undergraduate program and what the student interviewed said. I was asked if your goal in the undergraduate program was to prepare administrators of nursing, and 1 answered that it was not, that our goal was to prepare nurses for basic and generalized clinical practice. Subscribing to a belief in the importance pf “a holistic approach to the care of patients” and “continuity of care” are part and parcel of a curriculum devoted to preparing sensitive, humane, knowledgeable, and sophisticated practitioners of nursing. Furthermore, we believe that it is impossible to practice nursing effectively without taking into consideration the social and ecological system of which the patient is a part and the social environmental system in which the nursing interaction takes place. The school does seek to attract more males into and your riguicS wCIS 001759* in that the program but this has we now have 41 males enrolled nothing to do with the so called concerns about the “prestige” of the school. We need more males in nursing because there is nothing any more intrinsically “female” about nursing as it is practiced today and will be practiced in the future than there is anything intrinsically “male” about the practice of medicien. It is well-known that in America the health system has been highly skewed by sex, and this deprives the profession, the citizens, and many able individuals who are lost to the health system because they don’t consider occupations associated with the opposite sex. We need more males in nursing because many men have much to offer this type of occupation, and many people prefer males for certain types of health care. I doubt very much that an increase in the number of male students would affect the prestige of the school one way or the other. What 1 did say to your reporter was that the School of Nursing reflects the status of women in general and because a high proportion of the students and faculty are women, they face the general problems that women face in this society. While I understand that it is difficult for someone who is not part of musing to understand th«? complexities of this profession; I regret that the information you published was so badly skewed. Meanwhile, students have td ask themselves, do we want to exercise our “right to vote” on candidates that are not on “our side”? the immediate University situation which still effects it greatly? I am still undecided about whom 1 should vote for, as I am unsure of the positions the delegates are taking on certain issues. I would certainly like to have some information provided to me on the upcoming election as well as opinions of fellow students and organizations. Ellen Leighton offer no excuses. We hope that today’s issue will make up for some lost time and pledge to follow the Duryea vs. Carey battle with a closer eye. And thanks toes. to the Ruth Elder, M.S.N., PhD ' 1 criticize The Spectrum for not getting the scoop early on this vital issue that affects all of us at UB. I would like to see some objective coverage. Why no coverage? Why isn’t there any coverage of the upcoming election for governor of New York State? As students of the University we should certainly have a newspaper which will present us with an overview of what’s going on outside of the University as well as inside of it. SA elections certainly got a great deal of coverage. Well, what about an election external to Nursing published in the Monday, September 25, 1978 The Spectrum. First of all, the geographic dispersion of our students and faculty is not quite as great as that outlined in the article. The graduate faculty are located in Stocktdn-Kimball Tower on the Main Street Campus (not in Amherst Campus) whereas the Dean’s Office and the rest of the faculty are currently located in Cary Hall, again on the Main Street Campus.

To the Editor. letter-writers for keeping us on our Acting Dean, School of Nursing we were in error on the issue but after checking with our reporter, it became clear that you are attempting to muddle what really went on during the interview. There is, very clear discrepancy between what you said about the goal of the undergraduate nursing program and what the student interviewed said. You claimed the program is aimed at preparing nurses for basic clinical work and when we asked students for a response, they disagreed. You may claim that the student's definition of clinical work is too narrow, or uninformed, but you cannot deny that a discrepancy exists. Our report here is entirely accurate, though it may not fit in at all with your hopes for the department. Secondly, you most definately told pur reporter that the prestige of the department might rise with the addition of male students. You may desire more male students for a host of unrelated reasons, but to say this desire has nothing to do with the prestige of the department belies what you originally told us. We find it fascinating that, in an article where our information is so badly ''skewed", you have not claimed you were misquoted, or denied anything we have attributed to you. If the implications of the article worry the management of the Nursing department, then that is an internal matter we hope you can deal with. But we will not allow you to confuse the issue with carefully worded "corrections like this.

We must Nancy Simonson Belittling Mangione To the Editor Regarding Harry Weinberg’s review of Chuck Mangione’s new soundtrack album, Children of Sanchez, (Fri., Oct. 6) we were wondering how The Spectrum dared to print such irresponsible journalism. Throughout the article, Weinberg states his opinions of Mangione’s image, while neglecting to review the music itself. The. songs that appear in the album are not discussed or even mentioned, nor does musical analysis exist. Instead, the “review” is a slanderous defamation of Mangione. Must Mr. Weinberg resort to criticisms of the pictures on the album jacket to portray his dissatisfaction with Mangione? To describe him as having a “shit-eating grin” is irrelevent to the topic of the article, which is, supposedly, music. Where does Weinberg justify saying that Children of Sanchez is,not a typical of memorable soundtrack album? He points out that Mangione's “Latin background makes his music suitable for a peculiarly Latin film.” But, where does he state anything about the tone, style, or other specific qualities of the album’s music? We hope in the future that The Spectrum will present responsible record columns and we lood foreward to future articles that deal with musical analysis, not belittling opinions. Thomas Bellavia Russel Frantzen tedltnif Mtft by Daniel S. Parker isn’t me friend Max was visiting Buffalo last weekend. Max is a quiet guy who likes to party, while he spends most of his time working in Dunkin’ Donuts selling chocolate honey-dipeds to starved truckers and lonely high school girls. Max, who is 27, was here for a Donut convention in Niagara Falls. Since it was Max’s first time to Buffalo, I My thought a guided tour would be appropriate. We cruised the downtown area while 1 pointed out all the historic sites. “This is Chippewa Street,” I said, “and on your left is the new Buffalo Bus Station.” Further downtown we ga/ed at the cement walls of the Aud and the old ship hanging out in the Naval yard. After lunch at AI’s Restaurant, a few stops for drinks, and a quick game of bowling Max said, Enough of this. Why don’t you show me where you go to school? 1 understand your campus looks like the grand Donut-land." So Max and I got back in his beat-up blue 1967 Falcon with the rusted floor and cruised up Main Street avoiding the potholes until we hit Millersport, where you can’t avoid the potholes even if you creep along at 20 mph. We stopped off at Mr. Donut for a quick taste test and go back in the 1967 Falcon with the bottom rotting out, and proceeded towards the Amherst Campus. I said, “Max this is UB, the place where I go to school. Over there is the law library and .” Before 1 could get out another syllable, Max let out a choking laugh as he gagged on his donut. “What the hell is that, he shrieked. “It looks like a giant phallic symbol.” And sure enough Max was right. Staring us in the face was the new Amherst monument, commonly known as Baird Point. “Someone around here is getting fucked.” he chuckled, “and it sure * . Imported from Canada by Century Importers, Inc., New Mark, NY “Max,” I said. “Baird Point has a greal deal of intrinsic meaning. Some people think it was put up because they had a bunch of old pillars lying around the Main Street Campus, blocking the softball field, but a few of us know better. Originally, this University was slated to be the Berkley of the West, the Amherst Campus was to be the home of Western New York’s educated; and the Ellicoft Complex was the most innovative environmental living-learning center since the Doors'and the Goths got together to categorize architecture. “Well, you’ve heard of the Rockerfeller mall in Albany, built as a commemorative to that former great Governor of this great State?” 1 asked. “What great Governor?” he replied. “Never mind,” I continued. “At any rate, somevisionaries thought that an oversized and out-of-place erection would give this University a sense of identity. It would remind us that the multi-million dollar new campus is only 35 percent complete and construction is hap-hazard while lifetime, tightfisted moneylenders control the ebb and flow of growth of SUNY Buffalo. “By the time the new campus is complete, incalculable dollars will have been wasted on buses, moving offices, moving iiack, temporary annexes, and greenery that will die in the winter anyway. Professors will have jumped to other universities where there is no phallic symbol. Accredited departments will have lost their accredidation while all the students who are here now will have long the graduated.

First, the incident which occurred behind Good yea r/Clem en t was not a rape, it was an assault Secondly, whether or not the University Police could have prevented the assault is not the primary issue Had Miss Demopoulos researched the facts a little further, she would have been informed that during all shifts, particularly the evening and midnight shifts, patrols are concentrated in the “. areas where it is most needed. . ”, i.e. the residence halls and academic buildings, where statistics indicate the vast majority of both criminal and service-oriented incidents exist for both campuses. Thirdly, there are probably times when people, especially females, may find themselves walking alone at night on campus. It does not mean the University Police are not there. The officers are responsible for patrolling both the interior and exterior of the buildings and the grounds of both campuses, as well as responding to all calls, medical assists, and fire, burglary and intrusion, alarms. At the very least, this alone is a very demanding and time consuming task. As stated in her letter, Ms. Demopoulos feels that many women aren’t aware of the potential danger they are in. From personal experience of members of our department, it was found that indeed, both males and females are unaware of the possibility of their potential victimization. With particular emphasis to some female residents of the University of Buffalo, they are unaware of the opportunity to respond to a potential danger they are in~because they maintain a “It-can’t-happen-to-me” attitude. Each semester, several presentations on rape prevention are conducted in the residence halls. As of this writing. f jiig. the largest attendance for this semester has been 25 females, including 5 non-student females. For a er Gr student population of this size, it is a very poor showing. As for the existence of the UB Anti-Rape Task Force, the organization was established by concerned females who wanted to focus their attentions on prevention through educating members of this University about sexual assaults. The organization has now expanded to include both female and male members and has been responsible for developing a Speakers’ Bureau and the Student s o o o Escort Service. % The attitude of members of the University Police regarding rape is one of understanding and concern. The officers do realize the traumatic and terrifying impact of sexual assaults to both females and males. These incidents are taken seriously by this department. As tar as preventing further incidents, prevention begins with each individual. Ms. Demopoulos stated it requires “more than normal” precautions, but what does one consider a “normal" precaution? Getting people to be more alert and aware of their environment; by making sure their residence halls and home are as safe as they can make them; by avoiding potentially dangerous situations and avoiding dangerous areas on campus and in the community whenever possible; and most importantly, becoming informed about sexual assaults. , . these are everyone’s best methods of preventing further both on campus and in the community. Note: The University Police Department would like to extend the invitation to anyone interested in scheduling a rape prevention or self-defense presentation to contact Officer Peggy Chapados at 636-2222 to make arrangements.

FREE ADMISSION! ‘Animal House cleaning ’ To the Editor. I am writing in reference to the amount of destruction and the unearthly state of the dormitories which has gotten worse since the movie Animat House released to the public. Good clean fun is great but when pranks result in the destruction and mutilation of public' and private property a serious wrong has been committed. The money for cleanup and repairs comes from each and every one of our pockets through taxes. It just cost $2300.00 to have some elevators on Main Street repaired which students had broken. This destruction is senseless and merely reflects the stupidity of the students attending this University. Adding to thd difficulty in keeping the dormitories clean, is a job freeze concerning the EVERYONE WELCOME! maintenance staff due to a reduction in budget activated by Governor Carey. This has left the staff short handed but they are doing on excellent job in trying to cope with the mess in the dorms. The RAs and the maintenace supervisors are also doing an excellent job in trying to control this, but are doing so with little cooperation from some students. Bringing a speaker like Chris Miller (from Animal House ) is not-going'to help matters any. I just hope that the students realize that if is not necessary to destroy or mutilate in order to have a good time. Please pick up any messes which are yours and please lets stop this senseless destruction and mutilation. ° fc.

With the recent developments attacking gay rights, such as California’s Proposition 6, it is imperative for the University to take a stand to insure the basic rights for all people.

It is primary.” After reading these lines from Professor Fred See’s latest letter concerning Dr. Bunn's Academic Plan (Monday. October 9th), and his invitation to others to join in the debate, I felt the need to voice my emphatic agreement and to expand upon his words from a student’s point of vieW. I readily admit that I am not sufficiently versed in Administrational matters, but as an F.nglish major and one who has given a fair amount of thought to the problems this University is facing (as exemplified in the new Academic Plan), I feel that 1 have something to say. As you may have noticed, I chose to say that the Academic Plan exemplifies, rather than raises, problems that this University is facing. The true problem lies in this institution’s inability to answer two fundamental questions with any amount of responsibility and integrity: First of all, what, exactly, is the goal of education? And secondly, what is the role of the University in achieving that goal? i came to this University over two years ago, with personal “ideals” concerning the type of education I would acquire. The ends I had hoped to attain were no different from those of any other entering freshman: That is, to ultimately graduate in my profession Und to secure a position in the “working world.” But equally important to me were the means used to acquire that goal. In other words, I believed that the process and experiences of education were as important as the end result. I did not want to find myself a complacent member of society, resigned to gain the type of education that would aid in growth and understanding of myself and my relation to society as well as one that would promote the development of an open-mindedness which seeks questions as well as answers. In other words, I wanted to achieve an awareness that no book of facts could give me. Fortunately, my expectations have been largely fulfilled and I feel that I am on my way to achieving this goal. My contact with the Faculty of Arts and Letters, and most specifically with the Department of English, ... has had a great deal to do with this growth. First of all, the subject matter of many of the courses encourages the student to think about himself and the society in which he finds himself. But beyond the courses themselves, the Faculty consists of many dedicated and concerned people who are sincerely interested in their students' growth. The core disciplines epitomize what the goals of an education should be: to foster a broadened knowledge of self and world; to provide an incentive to investigate this knowledge further; and to instill the desire to share our experiences with others. This should be the desideratum of 'educators and, specifically, of our own University Administration. A primary means of achieving these goals is by placing a greater importance on the core disciplines. However, the hope for this course of action seems to be futile as the focus of the University gradually shifts from the core disciplines to the more “vocational” offerings. What is the role of the University in the process of education? Ideally, the university provides an environment where men and women learn more about themselves and the world around them, and then carry their experiences into the community in the hopes of creating a "better world.” What is happening, howevei. is a kind of prostitution of university goals and values. Now more than a “mere” extension into the community, we are becoming a churning out as much “guns” or “butter” factory as the economy demands. We are forsaking the values of impetus and growth, and are turning to those which reduce us to a mere commodity, to be consumed by an impersonal world. Our values have switched from self-value to economic value. It is unfortunate that this is a general trend in the world today, but it is appalling that it has corrupted our universities, which are supposedly, institutions of “higher learning.” What we are learning is how to “package” ourselves into the best (that is, marketable) produdt. We are becoming conditioned to think primarily in economic terms. This has become apparent to me just recently, through a personal experience. When I was asked about my future plans, I stated that 1 planned to become a professor of English. After I made this statement, I gave an apologetic laugh. WHY???? Why did 1 feel as if I must APOLOGIZE for something that I value and esteem? Why? Because I have assimilated the general administrational. and even societal, attitude directed at Arts and Letters majors. I am constantly subjected to that infamous query from STUDENTS, co-op being made by the members of that co-op. In an increasingly stratified, unworkable society, co-ops serve as a base for people -to work together in a truly equal fashion. To state that the Co-op Council functions as a governing or controlling body for co-ops in Buffalo is to accuse us of being part of that which we are working against; a hierarchical, competitive society. In actuality, the co-ops control the Co-op Council; Council decisions are made at our monthly meetings which all co-op members are invited to attend and vote. The article also failed to give the correct names of the other - nonetheless, “An English major? What are you going to do with/ha/?” (1 am sure that other majors in the Faculty of Arts and Letters and probably those in many of the Social Sciences, have encountered this same question.) My major has also been the object of condescending remarks and downright insults on one or two occasions. 1 deeply resent this superior attitude and to quote au overused, but appropriate, phrase from a recent movie, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more!” The English Department and other departments in the Faculty of Arts and Letters play a vital role in this University. I do not wish to undermine the importance of career-oriented disciplines. Furthermore, I do not wish to imply that the core disciplines are the only means of»achieving self-understanding, nor that everyone in contact with the core disciplines utilizes the opportunities available. Such implications would be far from the truth. However, I can say that the core disciplines provide an environment that encourages the student to grow as an individual and helps the student gain a deeper understanding of the word “education.” And 1 deplore this University’s growing emphasis on the career-oriented programs at the expense of the core disciplines. Are we a University or a vocational school? When the survival of such an important Division as the Faculty of Arts and Letters is at stake, and the renown of the English Department is threatened, Somebody must do Something! The Administration must seriously re-examine its definition and goals of education and its responsibilities to the students and society in general. This examination must investigate philosophical as well as economic dilemmas. Futhermore, each'student-must re-examine fiis or her own expectations of this University and will hopefully realize that self-knowledge and acceptance, as well as community concern, are at least as important as economic gain.

It is incorrectly stated in the October 9th The Spectrum article on the North Buffalo Food Co-op that the ‘Inter-Co-op Organization' is the governing body for the three area food co-ops. The Buffalo Cooperative Community Council (the actual name of our organization) plays no part in the government of Buffalo food co-ops or any other cooperative or collectively run organization in Buffalo. Cooperative organizations on the whole are run in a decentralized manner, with decisions in each two food co-op storefronts. They are: the Lexington Real Foods Community Co-op (not the Lexington Street Co-op as was erroneously stated) and the Allentown Food Co-op. Both of these co-ops also offer fine whole foods at low prices to their respective communities. Aside from these errata, we thank you for your otherwise well-written article.

' FORD FORD DIVISION �Bitter conflict delays construction of a Twin Fair plaza by Irene Binaxas Staff Writer Spectrum A controversy has arisen regarding the construction of a proposed Twin Fair shopping plaza on a 17 acre site at Eggert Road and Langfield Drive. Small businesses located in the vicinity of the proposed plaza claim that it will ruin their small firms and , have campaigned heavily in an effort to block construction. week, Last the Buffalo Common Council failed to override Mayor James D. Griffin’s veto of a zoning law that would have maximum estabhshed floor-sezes for stores, effectively preventing construction of the 250,000 square foot plaza. North District Councilman Eat, drink and be merry The Wine Cellar’ opening The Wine Cellar, new eating and drinking emporium, at Governors Residence Hall, will open Octover 27, The coffeehouse sstyled cellar in the cafeteria area between Roosevelt and Lehman Halls will offer wine, beer, and delicacies such as chicken wings and subs. a brand The area which now exists as a weekend cash line for Food Service is presently undergoing a mild facelift: the brick serving islands are being raised to the ideal bar height of 37 inches and will then be wood stained. Lights will be dimmed and plants added to create an intimate atmosphere. The idea for the cellar was originally submitted by the Governors Programing Committee (GPC) to the Faculty-Student Association as an alternative to the Wilkeson Pub in the Ellicott Complex. It is hoped the creation of a more mellow atmosphere from acoustic and jazz will support an open forum for talent musicians to magicians and comedians. The Wine Cellar will be open every night, but hours have not yet been set. Anyone interested in performing should contact Mary Kay Schiesser at 636-4052 or Tony Serri at 636-4258. — Daniel T. Quider, who favored the veto, said that the zoning law was a “poor piece of legislation”, arguing that the bill would have limited construction in the entire district.- Delaware District Councilman William L. Marcy, Jr. agreed, saying, “The ordinance they tried to pass would be city-wide, not just for that little area.” Among those voicing their oppositition to the plaza are Lovejoy District Councilman Norman L. Bakos, University District Councilman Eugene M. Fahey and John .Belle, a citizen who lives two blocks from the proposed site. Bakos vowed that opposers will not passively resist construction of the plaza. Bakos and Belle threatening are businesses such as banks and chain grocery stores with a consumer boycott of all their branches if they rent space in the plaza. Bakos said they would also go to banks and warn them against issuing a mortgage to any business in the plaza that could fold in a few years due to a boycott. by Cathy Carlson is for plaza opposers to buy a few shares of Twin Fair stock, enabling them to attend the Board meetings and ask why 17 acres is important enough to “risk the wrath of citizens,” said Bakos. “There are thousands of acres of land available why are these 17 acres so important (to Twin Fair) knowing that the “Going out for rush” is again growing in popularity on campuses across the nation, after reaching record lows in the early 1970’s. Benefitting from the current trend, UB fraternities and sororities are steadily increasing their membership. According to Coordinator of Inter-Greek Council Kevin Miller, the four week rush that began September 8 went over very well. The Greeks received a large amount of student interest though tabulation of members has not been completed, he said. University Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs (SA) Khairy Kawi attributes the increased popularity of fraternal organizations to the passing of the protest movement of the sixties. He said, “As the movement faded, so did the cohesive force it created.” Students today are seeking that unifying force in fraternities and sororities, according to Kawi. The current nostalgia craze has also played a role in the renewal of students’ interest in fraternal organizations, Kawi contends. Movies and television shows are heralding fraternities and sororities in a new and desirable way. Although interest has grown, fraternal organizations at UB have only 300 members or one percent of the student body, observed Kawi. This is far below the average at other northern universities, where over ten percent of the student body is involved. Keep off the campus The comparatively~T6rw number of fraternities and sororities at UB can be attributed to the'recent lifting of a 23 year ban on Such organizations. Although the ban was lifted in the tall of 1976, the fraternities did not get started until the late spring of 1977, Kawi noted. The ban was imposed on Greek organizations in 1955 because problems with discrimination caused public outcry and some hazing practices resulted in serious injury. As a result of pressure from student organizations, additional restrictions on national fraternal policies, the ban was dissolved. Presently 10 fraternities and sororities on campus are recognized permanent student organizations, and are classified into two groups and tentative. Of the 10 chapters only one fraternity and one sorority have been permanently recognized. Miller, of the Inter-Greek Council, explained, “To be permanently recognized a chapter has to file a letter of application with Student Affairs and receive a charter from the nation?! organization.” He added that the completion requirements mandated by the SUNY Board of — of Trustees is also required. Less women Of the 10 chapters at UB, only two are sororities. Kawi commented, “The national organizations of sororities are reluctant to move into the SUNY unit.” Kawi said “They are afraid of a recurring ban and are waiting for signs of stability.” According to Kawi, another problem is most students’ lack of knowledge about the benefits of fraternal organizations “It is a difficult task for the Inter-Greek Council to educate the student body,” he said. and Kawi explained the benefits and objectives of fraternities and strong create ties that are they sororities as three-fold. Socially, longlasting; academically, they help to improve the performance ot members through tutoring programs; civically. they increase and responsibility by encouraging participation in University community services, he said. Blow their minds nearby. He professed, “If you add represents $250,000 in taxes to the city.” The plaza will provide 450 construction jobs and over 400 jobs in the Twin Fair plaza, he said. Quider reported that he has gone into the community, done an assessment and discovered a series public common of objections. Quider insists that projected problems, such as increased juvenile crime in the area can be alleviated by establishing a police sub-station in that area, and he r ! doesn’t want them there?” asked Bakos. If all else fails, Belle is considering taking this matter to court, saying he has 2,800 citizens to provide financing “whatever is for South District Councilman James P. Keane is adamantly in I more cars, the people will blow their minds.” Quider believes that the residents are not really familiar with what Twin Fair is planning to do, and citizens have based their opposition and fears on "unfounded rumors," like that of quiet, dead-end streets being made into thoroughfares.

Under the pavilion sit the King and Queen, surrounded by their court. The sun’s rays reflect off the armor of knights who await combat. Bodies tense and eyes narrow as the first clash of swords break the still air. A scene from Medieval Europe? Not quite more like ,20th century Amferica. Fredrick Hollander, alias Fredrick of Holland, a professor of chemistry at UB and his wife seem like a typical American couple, except for their involvement,, in the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). The - SCA is an organization that seeks to recreate the essence of life prior to the 1650’s (Medieval Culture), the era when chivalry, craftmenShip and royal grandeur were at their peak. The SCA was founded in 1965 in the San Francisco area. Today the SCA Consists of six “kingdoms” in the continental U.S. with branches in Brititan and Europe. Way oflife Summer is the big season for the Society. It is a time when members of a particular kingdom gather, set up pavilions, engage in combat and enjoy the indiligent attempts to recreate a bygone age. mock The activities of the are not simple hobbies, Mrs. Hollander said. Much time and effort is put into the reconstruction of Medieval organization fashions and clothes. “It’s a way of life,” she remarked. Accoring to Hollander, the expense of duplication of Medieval fashion is kept to a minimum by purchasing fabrics when on sale and usually stock piling for future. Costumes are made only after extensive an effort to produce garments as authentic as possible. Most of the clothing is based on 14th century portraits. research, in Yum yum Armor is the most expensive article, according to Hollander. Helmets can cost $35 and up, but shields and swords may be inexpensively made by hand, he added. SCA is very thorough in recreating all aspects of Medieval culture, its members are involved in candle making, fine needle work, sewing, pottery, poetry, leather work, music, construction of Medieval musical instruments and weaving and cooking in Medieval fashion. Some enthusiastic members have even built their homes in a Medieval manner. Mrs. Hollander, enjoys a communal garden with neighbors, and cultivates herbs used in Medieval dishes. Once, she encouraged her neighbors to partake in a dish prepared with these herbs. “They did not care for the taste,” she said. As Hollander so aptly put it, “They ate the dish with 20th century taste buds.” King and Queen This is just the physical aspect of the Society however. In considering the mannerisms, Society for Creative Anachronism members do battle Medieval Europe in 20th Century America customs and social structure, the SCA follows the book, though peasants and serfs are lacking. Each member is considered to be a member of gentry, said Mrs. Hollander — she herself is a countess. To reach the top - Kingdom and Queen one must knights defeat all challengers in combat for the throne. This contest is held bianually, each King and Queen reign for five months, with one month off. The fight for the throne is not limited to the men, women also challenge the “knights.” Feminists were present even in Medieval times, Hollander said. Documented proof exists that a “Lady Isabel” led her husband’s knights raids on while he remained at home, Hollander related.

Three key blocks by Phil Zickl, Pat Keyhoe, and Larry Gartner sprung Delaney who turned on the speed down the right sideline, leaving a trail of bewildered defenders behind.

But quarterback A1 Zazzara was stopped short of the goal line by Goldstein middle linebacker Steve Crandall as he attempted to run the ball around left end. Goldstein’s the protested immediately last second touchdown run on the grounds that Delaney’s knee had touched the ground when he slipped thus downing the play and ending the game.

A penalty moved the ball back to the three but on the next play Crandall fired a touchdown pass to Cooper in the eijd zone. Aonther penalty nullified a successful Crandall to Engle extra-point pass. “That penalty hurt us,” admitted a disconsolate Crandall after the game, “that penalty and punt return.” When TKE had possession of the ball, quarterback A1 Zazzara was unable to gel the offense moving. He fumbled several low snaps from center and he underthrew his repeatedly receivers. Zazzara was throwing into a strong wind, but his greatest obstacle to success was the Goldstein pass rush.

But with nine minutes remaining the Goldstein defense showed signs of weakening. Zazzara hit John Crake on fourth down with a 30 yard pass down to the Goldstein 17, for TKE’s first big gain of the day. A fifth down pass attempt fell incomplete, but TKE regained possession on a Dan Skully interception at midfield. The next four plays netted only two yards, but on fifth down from the 28, Zazzara pitched to Keyworth who rolled left and tossed a 26 yard passto Tom Ertmann at the 2. That was the final down and the ball went into possession of Goldstein and Wong’s with jsut 1:22 remaining. Four running plays designed to eat up time, combated by three TKE time-outs, left just five seconds on the clock. And that’s all the time Bob Delaney needed. �Bulls win —continued from third time. “Zinni and Fraser, they're the guys who got it going today," admired defensive end coach Carlo, George to refering defensive line coach Gene Zinni and defensive coordinator for the secondary, Bruce Fraser. “They're ones who the cracked the wishbone. They studied the films and gave us the game plan that them.” The coaches couldn’t have a done better job,” added they gave Rothman everything we needed to know.” The Bulls marched again after the Albany punt, hut a field goal try by Steve Pawluk sailed wide. Later, Shane Currey trapped Walsh for a five yard loss on a third down play and Albany was forced again to punt. On the day, Great Dane punter Ed Sellers was asked to boot the ball eight times when Albany drives stalled. The potent Rodriguez to Gary Quatrani combination worked only once, with Quatrani bogged down in the mud. The one time it worked, however, the bearer of the cleanest jersey, 83, made a brilliant grab of a 30 yard pass that helped set up a Pawluk field goal of 37 yards. Homecoming Queen At half-time, Albany, a team that totalled'476 yards on offense against Towsan State of Maryland last week displayed only 46 yards in the first two quarters. While they tried to re-group for the second half, the University of Buffalo Homecoming Queen of paraded front the in grand-stand to the delight of the few hundred fans still able to bear the chilling drizzle. The winner _ was Terri Hall of Grand Island, also President of Alpha Sigma Alpha Sorority. Also present at half-time were a large number of former Buffalo Bulls who were part of the team f 1 Vj . With the ball placed 299 feet from an Albany score, the UB defense vainly attempted to push the Great Danes back for a safety. Walsh kept the offense in limbo for two plays, then elected to punt the ball away on third down rather than risk a safety for the stopped page —* . 1958 Lambert Cup celebrating their twentieth anniversary. Bulls came out for the half dean, that is with clean shirts. After Albany ran their usual four plays for practically no yardage, the Bulls began their first touchdown drive. The second Rodriguez mixed up the Albany secondary with passes to Frank Price* for 12 yards and Quatra,ni for nine. Gabryel scored on a right side sweep from five yards on the 39 yard drive to give the Bulls a 9-0 advantage. Fumbles Both teams traded fumbles in the remainder of the third on quarter, Walsh fumbled Albany’s first play after the Buffalo score and Kevin Groody then Rodriguez dropped the snap from center but fell on the ball to retain possession. To add a touch of slapstick to the ball game, Gabryel very next play, and lost it on this time was not lucky enough to recover. Levi Lewis had the ball squirt loose after a ten yard loss, but pounced on it quickly. Dave recovered. Florek stopped Walsh two plays later so the Bulls again took possession following the punt by Sellers. A clipping penalty moved the out of respectable field position, and Albany’s defense forced the punt. But. once again' fumblitis struck Albany on the punt return and UB retained the ball at the Great Dane 14 yard line. Every game coach Bill Dando seems to pull out one magic play of the week when the opponent least expects it. Against Canisius, where Quatrani hit Price for a very big touchdown. This week, Dando Bummed out. The 'Bum' play Rodriguez lined up in a shot-gun formation five yards behind center Joe Maxdn. Gabryel and fullback Gary Feltz were set in front of Rodriguez. The snap, instead ot going to Rodriguez, went to Gabryel. Gabe took the ball, put it between his legs, hiding it from the defense and waltzed in untouched bewildering the Albany defense. "That's the exposed Dando, Bumarooski,” "It’s named after Bum Phillips, the coach of the Oilers, who invented it as a high school coach. 1 used it in 1966 at Southern Methodist to beat Rice.” Currey led the Bulls in tackles nine.

Price, however, has caught at least one pass in the Bulls' six games this 1 season. freshman failed on his first four tries this year. If the names Doug Johnson, Tim Karnes, Joe Maxon, Jim Vgux or Joe Previll arc unfamiliar, let it be known that these are the names of the Bulls' offensive line that has sparkled in the last two games.

No. 23 13 October 1978 Friday, American Studies faculty to resign if PhD demands not met by Dan Bowman Staff Writer Tensions between American Studies officials and professors will leave, high quality graduate students will not be attracted to the University and American Studies Spectrum - could disintegrate. University administrators are so close to snapping that pickets may soon be circling Capen Hall. The program’s leaders, fustrated by the University’s delay in approving a doctoral program for their discipline, are warning that American Studies professors will resign if six long-standing demands are not met. “As of now,” former director of the program Michael Frisch said, “faculty resignations are pending. Every day is a struggle for survival. The longer we wait the more the program is weakened.” Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn said he will make a decision on the demands in a few weeks, but Frisch maintains that a few weeks may be too late. American Studies officials presently demand: 1) a “letter of intent” approving the PhD program from Bunn to Ketter, 2) a “letter of intent” from Ketter to Albany state officials, 3) the appointment of an Acting Director of American Studies, 4) “adequate” staff support, 5) authorization to recruit a new full-time Director and 6) administrative continuity for the American Studies’ in Puerto Rico. A letter to Keil from Vice President Bunn on October after the SUNY Budget hearing in Albany on Bunn will respond to American Studies’ demands. Bunn declined to comment until he had completed review of the proposal, which he claimed would take several weeks. Temporary Coordinator Keil warns drastic measures will be taken. “We are planning to demonstrate for an hour each day, faculty and students, if we do not receive a response from Bunn by October 12,” he says. 3, states that October 11, Students will suffer “The people at American Studies should not be putting a gun to Bunn’s head,” warned Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Letters George Levine. “A Ademonstration will definitely hurt the program and it will be the students who will suffer.” “I feel Ron Bunn has been slow in making a decision on this matter,” Levine conceded, “but that is no reason for such an action. The American Studies people are too impatient.” Keil maintains that the program can’t be hurt any more than it already has been, and is considering public demonstrations including the picketing of Capen Hall. Disintegration possible Temporary coordinator of American Studies Charles Keil said, ‘This PhD proposal is internationally unique andbrings world-wide prestige to this University.” Keil maintains that if American Studies’ demands are not met, Keil, who said he will leave American Studies next week if there is no response, said the Ketter Administration’s distaste for American Studies stands as a major factor in the delay. Dean Levine disputes this claim. “This accusation is hard to prove, and I challenge them to, but it will be easily disporved once Ketter signs the ‘letter of intent' which I sincerely Relieve he intends to.do." which is not a The American Studies Program department was created in order to bring a new perspective on American culture by emphasizing the role currently of non-dominant groups in society. It encompasses Puerto Rican Studies, Native American Studies. Women Studies and Black Studies. - - Positive evaluation A PhD proposal was first introduced in 1972 with the intention that directed Bunn to reevaluate the proposed PhD in American Studies. Bunn then students and also be able to expand its program to new dimensions. The ultimate aim of American Studies is to allow these students to return to their particular ethnic group. A Native American professor for example, would return to a reservation for the purpose of educating other Native Americans. internal An recommended in and external evaluation team 1973 that the Doctorate proposal be implemented. However, University President Robert L. Ketter rejected the proposal in 1975 for what he termed financial reasons. Last Spring, after faculty and students demanded reconsideration, Ketter directed Bunn to reevaluate the proposed PhD in American Studies. Bunn than returned the proposal back to American Studies for an update on the cost of implementation. The proposal was revised and resubmitted in August, but is still waiting to be approved by Bunn. SA officers seek election halt The battle rages on. Former Student Association (SA) President Richard Mott’s call last Thursday for a general election October 25-27 has prompted four member* of the SA Executive Committee to request a restraining order halting the elections from the Student-Wile Judiciary (SWJ). SWJ is the adjudicary body for students , here. Director of Acadflhic Affairs Sheldon Gopstein, Director of Student Affairs Lori Pasternak, Director of Activities and Services Barry Rubin and Treasurer Fred Wawrzonek submitted the restraining order to SWJ Chief Justice Michelle Sneidcr Tuesday night. According to SWJ associate justice Paula Katz, Sneider will meet with her today to make a decision. Mott’s move prompted by what he termed SA’s failure to act on crucial issues, will force all of the organization’s elected officials to run for office halfway through their year long terms. The four Executive Committee members are ' —Swan Norman Baker, General Education chairman 'Putting buttont A and B togethor' General Education plans to alter degree programs Mott’s authority to call a general election,” said Rubin, “The retraining order is to stall the elections until SWJ has made a ruling.” “challenging by Jay Rosen t’dilor-in-Chief Undergraduate students here,* who have run freely through the University for eight years under a liberal, unstructured curriculum, will soon find themselves marching behind the unfurling banner of General Interpretation? SWJ must decide whether Mott has the power to call for general elections. Mott claims the President is allowed under Article III Section 3.6A of the SA constitution. It reads, “The President has the power to call referendums and general elections.” Pasternak explained her challenge to SWJ saying, “It’s a question of interpretation.” “There are students on campus who want a for the change benefit of the campus community,” said SA Senator Don Berey referring’to a general group of students including Gopstein, Pasternak, Rubin, and Wawrzonek. The four Executive Committee members will have the option of running for re-election if SWJ upholds — Mott’s decision. “There is also a group of students on campus attempting to preclude the involvment of those students in the present power structure, who are screaming for change,” said Berey. He was refere ring to Mott although he stressed, not exclusively. The four Executive Committee - members involved are “just waiting now” until SWJ makes a decision SA Attorney Richard Lippes who Mott said has prepared a brief defending the ex-President’s interpretation of the constitution said, “I am not taking sides either way, this is an SA dispute.” Lippes is not representing Mott before SWJ, and explained that Schwartz assured him that the brief will not be used in the dispute. Schwartz supported Lippes saying, “Lippes should not become embroiled in an internal dispute.” Ueide Mason as American academia discards many of the reforms of the 1960’s and revamps its baccalaureate programs. The General Education movement has sent large and small faculties back to the boards to sketch out new curriculum requirements designed to give college graduates basic intellectual skills and a familiarity with all traditional disciplines. At SUNY Buffalo, where loose distribution requirements adopted in- 1970 have allowed students to freely structure most of the academic work outside their majors, a special Faculty Senate Committee is beginning to assemble a program in General Education that will affect Education all undergraduates.

According to Vetter, “It’s unique for Buffalo to get as large an amount of money as this. I think the selling point is in the nature of the project itself. Although it is not a constitutional convention, it’s the first formal look at the Bill of Rights since liberties have been infringed upon by science and if technology, freedom of speech and press is being invaded. Conference Chairman Killian Vetter stated, “We see this as having national impact. We are addressing ourselves to everyone, especially the legislature, news media members, and other mind .. Philadelphia’s Constitutional Convention in 1787.” “Buffalo is within 500 miles of just about everything that is right or wrong with America,” Vetter remarked. He explained that we have sophisticated technical industry, a university and colleges, and a seaport. “We have urban problems and a few miles from here there’s farm country.

As pointed out by Vetter, the 18th century Era of the Common Man emphasized orderly institutions of government and an interest in property protection above the rights of the common man. “States, afraid of a strong central used the Bill as a lobbying tool,” according to Vetter. He explained that the “founding fathers” were opposed to the Bill of Rights, arguing that it implied powers the -Federal Government didn’t have.

In an interview with The Spectrum, Malone said he was unaware of the ultimate fate of his paper. “It was knocked unassuming around,” the professor admitted.” Desantis said it was one of many advisories presented Carter during an Energy conference. Malone did give a number of his views on energy, including the validity of' the energy crisis, the relative safety of nuclear power and disposal problems involving reactor waste. Malone believes that the energy crisis is real. Most citizens, though, will not acknowledge a crisis unless, as he says, “There is no gas to run their car or they wafch their children shiver when they get dressed in the morning.” In the future The University, Denny and Malone, are actively involved in studying energy-related issues. The laboratory for Power and Environmental Studies on the Ridge Lea Campus is the hub of such activity.

Malone pointed out that the projects at the University are primarily long term and are funded in a variety of ways including defense and industrial grants. “The University is not in the energy business,” commented Malone. “We are not concerned with the immediate day to day problems of energy. Universities tend to work some ten years ahead of the application as a v general rule.” How about the effectiveness of the country’s present energy policy? responded Malone cautiously, “What we are facing is that the energy problem is something that has to be handled by politicians who have to deal with a large segment of the population that doesn’t understand the nature or depth of the problem,” he said. “Too many people still think that we are just of nuclear a reactor other forms of associated with power. “The individual legislator know must let his that he is concerned about the energy problem and the potential use of nuclear energy,” said Malone.

The specialized computer, one of 140 in existence, has the capacity to detect the cells electrical signals, convert them into data, and analyze the results. “We can do certain things by hand,” said Sachs, “but the significant steps, such as serious quantitative analysis, involve too much calculation.” Sach’s study, now in its second year, was funded through a three-year grant by the National Health Institute, which included acquisition of the computer. In May he must apply for indefinite renewal of the grant, and justify the study by its progress. Since much of the first year was spent setting up and programming the computer, it is crucial that the needed data and 1 findings are produced this year. - BRICK MR 229 ALLEN STREET Not insured Neither UB nor the Research Fund carried insurance on the computer. Sachs is hoping for another computer through funds the SUNY Research Foundation, which maintains a fund, he has heard, to replace damaged or stolen equipment. If so, Sachs will plug for the earliest possible acquisition date, which would probably be days after the paperwork goes through, he said. Presently Sachs, who described himself as depressed and anxious after discovering the theft, is forced to “drop back and regroup, set the study up all over again. Needless to say, it’s put a crimp in our style,” he commented. “That computer is the last item I would nave protected with insurance,” Sachs said. “It is the most unlikely theft that I could have imagined.” The Nicolet, a rare machine in itself, was so specialized that only an expert could know its workings and programming,” he said. “It’s hard to imagine anyone v- i else being able to use it,” echoed one ofSach’s four research assistants. The group is working with heart cells of dogs and rats. The theives took the computer’s operating manual, but left the 10 discs on which Sach’s data is recorded. “We can’t read them without the machine anyway,” Sachs sighed, marvelling that $40 worth of blank discs was stolen at the same time as a $40,000 computer. the The computer is registered with of theft and will manufacturer, wh was notified the be on the alert for the serial number. However, the year-old computer may not require repair in the near future, Sachs said, because most computer kinks are worked out within the first nine months. “It could be stable for the next few years,” he said. Bizarre The atmosphere in Carey Hall basement has been altered by the burglary Sachs noted. Technicians are more anxious about working alone and more wary of strangers who walk in the hall. “When you see someone, you think, ‘Does he look like the poster?”’ Sachs said. Composite sketches of the only suspects, two men about 18 and 40 years old, are posted along side of pictures and descriptions of the stolen equipment. The pair visited the lab about two weeks ago and were particularly interested in the Nicolet, Sachs said. They asked his research assistants several questions which stuck in their minds. “But it also could have been a Dean showing his son around,” commented Sachs. The professor said that he learned after the burglary, that alarm systems for research equipment are available through Unviersity Police. Safeguard systmes are being installed, he reported. “1 am very surprised at the great-interest the media has taken,” said Sachs, referring to the wealth of radio, television and newspaper coverage of the theft. Much of his recent time has been spent on the phone with reporters, he said, commenting, “Apparently people arc interested because a computer is such a bizarre thing to steal.” �<» Dental Clinic reopens It’s your lucky day Triskaidekaphobia— watch out! The Student Oral Health Center in Michael Hall has reopened on a part-time basis.

Homecoming returns after eight year leave by Mark Meltzer Sports Editor Homecoming symbolic of school unity on campuses throughout the nation makes its return to UB after an eight year absence. There’ll be a bonfire off Skinnersville Road (near the Ellicott Complex) at 7 p.m. sponsored by the Inter Greek Council, to celebrate the football Bulls return to Rotary Field tomorrow their 46th - - - Homecoming game. Homecoming, intended to kindle school spirit and to provide on campus recognition for the Greeks, has been missing, here since fraternities were banned as troublesome twenty four years ago. Fraternities made their return with football last year, but organizational problems prevented a 1977 Homecoming. “I guess they felt that fraternities were not a threat anymore,” commented Mike Valenti of Theta Chi. Following the bonfire tonight, which will be attended by the football team, coaches, cheerleaders, alumni and the fraternities, the greeks are holding a party at the Wilkeson Pub. The Homecoming Queen, Miss Greek UB, has already been selected and will be crowned at halftime tomorrow. Staunch supporters The Queen was chosen Wednesday nominated by seven fraternities and night from candidates that were two sororities. The sororities participating are Chi Omega and Alpha Sigma while the fraternities Chi, Phi Beta Sigma, Sigma Pi Epsilon, Sigma Pi, TKE, Theta Chi and Tau Cappa Epsilon. TKE, Theta Chi and Alpha Sigma Alpha have been among the football team’s staunchest supporters so far this season. Candidates for Homecoming Queen were judged on their Grade point average, service to the school and community, and physical appearance. Football coach Bill Dando is all for Homecoming. “In Alabama, you don’t go to school for a week,” he said. “You’re only in college once in your life.” About 550 tickets have been printed for the dance Saturday night, which will cost each couple ten dollars, but only two hundred had been sold as of late Wednesday, according to Valenti. Director of Homecoming Brian Harrison revealed that roughly 400 of those tickets have been allocated to the alumni association, with about 150 available to the fraternities. Harrison was not certain if tickets would be available to the general student population. Past Homecomings at UB have featured Fashion shows, cheer sheets, ROTC cadets, a poster contest and an Ugly Man Trophy, which was presented by Alpha Phi Omega. While he doesn’t expect too big a response this year, Harrison is optimstic about future Homecomings. “What we’fe trying to do is set a precedent,” he said.

As the story goes. 12 gods were gathered at a feast when Loki (he red haired evil-doer and spitit of strife entered. A dispute developed, ending in the death of Balder, the gods’ favorite. The Romans refrained from 13 in their numerical using fortune-telling because they felt it to be a sign of destruction. In the days of witch hunts, - - witches’ covens were supposedly composed of 13 members. Hamlyn says that the number 13 is especially unlucky in terms of dinner parties. “This refers back to the Last Supper or the Norse Feast; it was believed that of the 13 diners would die within one year,” he informs. one Superstition and fear have 'Btecome synonymous with 13. Sortie people number their homes 12 and one-half to avoid living in “unlucky” homes. State lotteries in France and Italy never sell tickets with the number 13 printed on them.

What precautions will people be taking to avoid misfortune How did superstition invade, and in extreme cases, come to control our lives? Hamlyn informs, “Folklore, as one wise folklorist has said, is nothing but history born out of wedlock. So, superstition as a part of folklore simply be an equally may illegitimate branch of religious history.” In addition, Hamlyn believes that folk belief and superstition are indistinguishable from the magic in which our most primitive ancestors believed. A super-superstitious person ' belives in omens, avoids taboos and performs rituals. An omen is a belief in predetermined futures. For instance, an itchy nose means Commuter Council Council will hold its next October 17 at 2 p.m. in Room 330 Squire Hall.

For example, a baseball player may spit into his glove each game to insure good luck. Superstitions run rampant through, many professions. It is considered bad luck to say “good luck” before a performer goes onstage. The desired phrase is “break a leg” and the not-so-popular ritual of kicking a performer in the posterior insures a good performance. In an article in the Journal of Judy Sports of Psychology Becker wrote that there is a large amount of superstition running wild in the locker rooms. Superstition runs rampant even at “the bastion of intellect and rationality,” Yale University. Becker reports that the hockey players there are warned never to say “shut-out” in the locker room. “Someone did the year before with Yale ahead 4-0,” the article says, and “10 minutes later , the score — was tied.” “Superstition seems to act as a psychological placebo for many athletes there are so many factors they can’t control, such as injuries and the weather,” Becker says. “They need something they can count on.” Becker sees the Yale athletes’ use of superstition as “part of man’s basic need to to order and regulate his life keep things constant and minimize disruption.” — ...

These problems include oversold concerts, late starts, and disgruntled ticketholders waiting outside in snow and rain before a concert. Music Committee Chairman Stu Fish, along with other Committee members, is attempting to redistribute lines of authority to more people who will handle things such as stage management, security, ushering, and hospitality. The Committee tries to see that dealings with agents, road managers, and promoters are run in a professional manner. The Committee is a “student service and tries to bring music for the lowest price possible and is not a business out to make a profit," according to Fish. The Committee works with a S40.000 per year allocation from Sub Board 1 the student service corporation. - Rising talent, rising costs One problem hampering the Committee’s flexibility is the rising cost of talent. Inflation has pushed the price of staging a concert “to the point where it is virtually impossible to break even,” said Fish. One Way around high costs according to Fish, is to sign “up-and-coming talent that is not overpriced or overhyped by the media.” In the past, the Music Committee has sponsored Jefferson Airplane, Peter all Frampton, Loggins and Messina, Patti Smith and Bob Marley while they were rising stars. The Committee finds itself in direct competition with local Buffalo promoters Harvey and Corkey and Festival East. These promoters can offer large audiences and big box office receipts while the Music Committee can only offer limited seating and lesser compensation. On campus, the only facilities available for concerts are Clark Gymnasium which holds only 1,500 students comfortably and the Fillmore Room in Squire Hall which seats 300. The Committee prefers keeping concerts on campus because of the convenience to students, but when big names that will draw large audiences are signed, it becomes necessary to move the event downtown. These concerts are usually held in Shea’s Buffalo Theater which has a 3,000 seat capacity. In the past, the Music Committee has sponsored groups such as Santana, the Kinks and Dave Mason at the Shea’s. -Dave Farrell toenlg THE UNSUNG SONG: Despite a blitz of potters like the one above, only a handful of supporters turned out at Baird Point last Sunday afternoon for Michael Levinson's "Song of SUNYAB," billed aa a seven hour spoken poem.

Rivera, arraigned on charges of second degree murder and posession.of a dangerous weapon (a pair of scissors) is pleading not guilty in the case. He is currently quartered in the Erie County Holding Center. A change in University Police policies, it was thought by some students, would be initiated as a result of Cordero’s death. Robinson was quick to disagree. A decision to change the patroling of officers each being assigned to one campus for a full year was not a result of the incident, he maintained. Cordero, who was three months from graduation, was a Speech Pathology and Audiology Major.

The letter written by Director of Academic Affairs Student Association, Sheldon Gopstein, in the October 9th The Spectrum was an appalling display of professional and unethical conduct, totally unbecoming to an S.A. executive. It is disgusting that an elected official should find it necessary to use personal insults against former S.A. President Richard Mott, because of a decision that he has full power to make. One which he also thought to be the best thing to -do (and looking at the current S.A., it seems as though it was). If Mr. Gopstein is so afraid of losing his job, and stipend then maybe he has not been doing the job he should have been doing. It takes some amount of dedication to make the S.A. work, and if that time and dedication cannot be found (as seems to be the case with too many S.A. executives), then new elections are the only thing that could possibly give S.A. a new beginning. The letter Gopstein wrote shows a vindictive personality only surpassed by Joseph McCarthy. Such a person should not be in any position worthy of respect. ( Michael Shaitan Schwartz on personalities & potential To the Editor. Political issues which attract the greatest ammount of attention are often those which focus on the personal crises and personality conflicts of public officials. This seems to be a common phenomenon of government and public life. Many times, regardless of their significance (or as the case may be, insignificance) in comparison with other current issues, personality matters will overshadow concerns far more vital. An unfortunate consequence of this distraction is the effect that it has on the public. People become disenchanted with the political process when they perceive their elected officials indulging in the corrupting influences of power. In the first month of this semester, we have observed this process occurring and reoccurring in the Student Association of the undergraduate student body. Controversies dealing less with matters of true import* and more with those involving differences in personalities seem to have garnered the most publicity. If undergraduate students weryapathetic about U niversity/student issues before these controversies arose surely at this point they must be even more turned off. ’ To the Editor The Spectrum’s front page article on Monday, October 9, purporting to describe the S.A. executive committee meeting at which Rich Mott announced his delerious decision to call for general elections, is a prime example of biased and opinionated reporting. Much of what it says is inaccurate, but the real harm is inflicted by what it does not say. The article tremendously downplays the severe torrent of criticism and ridicule directed at Rich Mott by the executive committee, not only concerning his latest misdirected decision but also regarding his ineffective leadership, his secretive, closed door exclusionary practices, his childish and stubborn refusal to open his mind to constructive criticism, his failure to even attempt to discuss and I could go on and straighten out S.A.’s problems on. The Spectrum has sympathetically decided to portray Mott as the poor, helpless victim of circumstances, then along comes Karl Schwartz, the altruistic savior of our crumbling organization. Please do not be fooled by the cleverly devised rhetoric The Spectrum employs. The Spectrum is obviously trying to groom Karl Schwartz for the S.A. presidency by keeping him in the limelight while mysteriously steering him clear of any image deflating criticism. Let the students at large choose the best candidates, not a handful of them who conveniently have access to a widely distributed newspaper. There are several other problems with Monday’s article. It arbitrarily lumps myself, Lori Pasternak, Barry Rubin and Fred Wawrzonek into some sort of team. I am not a part of any such team except that of S.A. itself. 1 have firmly maintained my individuality throughout this mess, and I resent being classified into a group that does not exist. If there is any clique in it is that of Mott, Schwartz and company. Their thoroughly devious and undemocratic mode of operation is the major cause of the devisiveness within S.A. Mott and Schwartz have no one else to blame besides themselves for S.A.’s lack of effectiveness. After all, they held the top two posts in the organization. When a battle is lost, it is vary convenient to blame the Indians, but the real blame should fall upon the ... if we were able to feel confident committment to the education and quality of life of undergraduate students on the part of our University Administration; or, that being not the case, if there were only a few matters vital to chiefs.

If The issue of the treasurer refusing to pay bills and voting “present” at all meetings is a direct g outgrowth of the fact that Mott, Schwartz and company undermined the Constitution by disregarding the S.A. Finance Committee’s recommendations for the 1978-79 budget. They went ahead and drew up their own budget, and then adopted it over the summer when it would meet up against the least resistance. I could not financially afford to work for S.A. over the summer, so I was not present to witness this mockery. Rich Mott was paid $1000 this summer, I would have only received $300. As if the gross failures, inadequacies, and misguided priorities of Mott’s tenure in office weren’t enough, he now has the audacity to blame others for being hostile to him and consequently, call for new elections. Are we going to allow this fit of infancy to hopelessly divide us once again? What if the new president also decides he doesn’t like the people he is supposed to work with? We could have elections every week. Sounds a bit absurd to me. And then we have Karl Schwartz’s attempt at writing a new constitution, which The Spectrum says, “bore directly on the need to completely redefine S.A.” While it may have bore directly on that need, it surely didn’t answer it. Schwartz proposed to eliminate elections for the three directors of S.A., among others. Under his plan, only the President, Vice-President and Treasurer would be elected with nearly everyone else being appointed by the President. Do we want to revert back to the days of machine politics with its system of loyal political appointees and everything that implies? We should be seeking a broad range of input and opinion, instead of selectively narrowing our world view. This is not an easy situation we find ourselves in. Through all the mudslinging and various other forms of meaningless and unnecessary bullshit that has recently transpired, we find that once again we have stupidly defeated ourselves. S.A. still lacks direction, purpose and a common ideology. Students find their interests unrepreschted and their needs unanswered. Let us quickly choose a new president who is in tune to the University and to the student voice here, one who is prepared to take on the responsibilities inherent in the position and who is able to provide serious and dedicated leadership. The Spectrum quotes Rich Mott as being “confident S.A. will improvp significantly.” Now that our greatest hindrance is out of the way, I share that confidence. Sheldon Gopstein Director of Academic Affairs Student Association straight government, Once again our Director of Student Affairs has unnecessarily singled out. The malicious descriptions of her performance in office are not only inaccurate, show the inability of the Editorial Board to address an issue objectively, but also lack journalistic discretion and courtesy. The fact that The Spectrum would make such accusations without having the common decency to permit Lori the opportunity of presenting a reply to any of these charges is inexcusable. been It is unfortunate that members of the University community must continually rely on writing letters “To the Editor” to set the records straight. Boh Sinkewicz, Don Berey, Former Director Student Senator Lori Pasternak, Director Student Academic A/fairs Treasurer Student Assocation Barry Rubin; Director Student Activities Affairs Fred Wawrzonek, and Services Editor's Note: We can think of at least one way Ms. Pasternak might have been afforded the opportunity to reply to the charges. If she had been present in the SA offices when we telephoned her literally dozens of times over, the past few weeks she could Lave spoken to us at length. We informed Pasternak that, we wished to interview her no less than three weeks ago. She agreed, then cancelled one appointment and has not been around to answer the phone. If we neglected to question her on the stipend issue last week, then we are surely guilty of poor reporting. But Ms. Pasternak knows she has been offered the opportunity to speak with us. She also knows that she has chosen not to take it. • �m mm.. —Swan DENIES HEART ATTACK: After walking slowly 1 t,.^* —wr ife- i. * * - n\ <r " j.t J< * <■* Tuesday's Faculty Sentate meeting.

Located at Buffalo State College its major goal is to help women realize their power, presence, and importance in today’s society, as well as to serve as an energy-giving support groups. These goals were shared by the Women’s Studies College (WSC) at this University. Formed seven years ago, WSC “Attempts to equip women to enter society as whole and productive human beings.” The College offers many courses, programs, and special events to implement these goals. Womanspace, formerly known as the Women’s Resource Center, at Buff State was formed four years ago and has since gained much student support and recognition. Student volunteer Rebecca Condon described the organization as “issue-oriented”. When an issue concerning women’s rights or sex discrimination arises, Womanspace is quick to take action, she said. Last year, a rape occurred in Buffalo State College’s Butler Library which spurred the formation of Womanspace’s Rape Prevention Committee. The Committee -worked to get better lighting in the parking lots, libraries, ana study areas, as well as obtaining more security officers patrolling these areas at night.In addition, female security officers were hired to handle the special problems of rape victims. * Community ties Womanspace has sponsored many workshops and coffeehouses featuring area women s talents. This year, plans include a self-defense workshop and the performance of a mime troupe. Not only involved with campus problems, Womanspace has formed many community ties in Buffalo. Contacts include the Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse, the Buffalo Women’s Liberation Union and the Buffalo Self-Help Center. The political stance of Womanspace is pro-LRA, in favor of unrestrictive abortion, and Supportive of gay rights Recently, Womanspace spoke out against the Niagara County Legislature’s proposed bill of restrictive abortion at several hearings held in . Lockport. Due to a budget of just under $2000, ntrpersonnel can be paid. Students staff the organization collectively, all on a part-time, volunteer basis. Funding comes from the USG (United Student overnment) activity fee, but last year, the budget for the center was reduced.

Bunn’s Academic Plan. This installment examines views within the Faculty of Arts and Letters, focusing on external funding prospects for the Faculty. by Ed Hutton Spectrum Staff Writer Since early April Vice President for Academic-Affairs Ronald F. Bunn’s draft of an Academic Plan, the plan has been playing the faculty meeting circuit generally to mixed reviews. Each department has been asked to review the plan and offer suggestions for the final draft. Over countless styrofoam cups of coffee, the affected faculties have labored over the document which will in many ways determine their future. For some, particularly the professional schools, Bunn's plan is expected to bring an affirmation of long-standing hopes; increased faculty, more funding, or perhaps the chance to be nourished into a “national center of excellence,” For others, though, the only promise is for more empty chairs at departmental meetings, as faculty lines are taken away and the disheartening feeling of being pushed to the back of the line. — DANCE EVENT: As part of a three day residency by the Merce Cunningham pictured in Solo (1975) Dance Company at this University, the critically acclaimed and innovative Company will perform at Shea's Buffalo Theatre on Friday, October 13 and Saturday, October 14. The October 13th performance is designated UB Night, and there is a $2 discount on any priced seat. Another feature of UB Night is the show's opening with Cunningham the classic work, Summerspace, choreographed to music composed by Morton Feldman, composer and Edgard Varese Professor of Composition at UB. Professor Feldman will conduct the Creative Associates (the UB based professional New Music group) for this piece. The event is sponsored by the Office of Cultural Affairs and Shea's Buffalo Theater. UB won ’t engage in aggressive recruitment of foreign students Aggressive recruiting of foreign students, being seen at private and public colleges nationwide, will not be practiced here, according to University officials. with dwindling enrollments, many schools have turned to foreigners to help fill their empty classrooms. This practice has been able to fortify the sagging pocketbooks of colleges throughout the nation. But according to Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs and Foreign Student Consultant Joseph Williams, UB does not actively seek foreigners. “There are some schools that can’t keep their doors open without going out of the country,” he said. “WeTe not like that.” Williams added that international relationships and linkages are the main factors in this school’s welcoming of foreigners, and that a “high quality individual” can have a very positive effect on the student body. Williams stated that the foreign student population fpr UB is five percent a number which has remained constant over the past few years. Faced - recruiting practices here.” He emphasized that “the University’s reputation” is enough to attract foreign students. Williams said that some students find limited opportunities to further their education in their own countries, and look to the United States wealth of academic opportunities. In 1976-77, almost one-third of the engineering doctorates awarded nationwide went to foreign students, as well as 15 percent of business, math, physics and economic doctoral degrees. Although there are only 220,000 foreign students out of a total United States enrollment of 11 million, the numbers have been jnpreasing steadily. Over the past four years, there has been a jump of 66,000 students. At schools such as Emory! University in Georgia and Drexel University in Pennsylvania, foreign enrollments have leaped over 100 percent during the past two years. With a projected drop of college-age students by 1985, due to lower birth rates, the demand shows no sigMV easing. No recruits Director of Admissions and Records (A and R) Richard Dremuk supported Williams claims. Dremuk remarked that if anything there has been a decline in foreign enrollment saying, “We have absolutely no , The United States is not the only country will an influx of foreign students. Canada and France have tripled their enrollments while the numtjgfs have doubled in Germany and England, accordingSto Joseph Simaii College Press Service. - — — External funding To the sui prise of no one, the gloomiest prospects face the faculty ot Arts and Letters. According to Bunn’s preliminary report: “A twenty-three percent decrease in enrollment (since 1975) .. . should not be ignored.” The plan forecasts not only continued faculty reductions, but also less support money for existing programs. In the future, the plan stales: “Many programs will have to rely on external funds if they expect to be continued.” According to Gale Carrithers, chairman of the English Department, the plan’s heavy emphasis on external funding such as federal grants could seriously undermine progressive development in his - department “You have to realize that many of the grant programs are administered by the ‘old dogs,’ those who are well entrenched in the field, who have a built-in conservatism,” he said. “They are very often resistant to new, innovative ideas simply because they are so different. “Many of the brightest, most promising proposals are turned down.” Somebody's hide According to chairman of the Art Department William Harris, the emphasis on external funding brings a more fundamental one one that questions whether the University supports its units evenly. "It calls to mind,” Harris said, “how much responsibility the University is willing to take for its own programs. It leads to a lack of consistency.” The Bunn plan suggests that areas particularly delinquent in seeking new grants, may have to appoint an assistant dean to “assume a role of leadership” in searching out additional money. “Yes, such a suggestion has been made,” said Carrithers,” and we would welcome such an appointment- However, the plan is vague as to where the money for this would come from; after all, its got to come out of somebody’s hide.” Both Harris and Carrithers indicated they were fully in accord with the formal response drafted by the faculty of Arts and Letters, which will be submitted to Bunn. The Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Letters George Levine, who represents Art and English to Bunn’s office, could not be reached Tor comment. A spokesman for Levine said a formal response to the plan will be published shortly. Next: The Faculty of Social Sciences. — New Elections See page 22 m mi OLD FASHIONED LOCATIONS 5244 Main St..

Ketter, in just one episode of an eight year campaign to keep threatening sectors of the University on the academic periphery, refused to approve a recommended PhD program in American Studies last year. True to form, Ketter crouched behind his "there just isn't enough money" refrain instead of facing charges that he was personally opposed to the program. Both sides know that this is ultimately a-question of priorities. And, since Ketter took office in 1970 as the tough law and order candidate, the University's priorities have left its more radical sectors with lower budgets, smaller staffs and relentless demands to Justify their existence. An outside review report favoring American Studies PhD program means very little to a man whose reputation is founded on arch conservatism and the restoration of order. The connection is not a contrived, or paranoiac one. We have no doubts that Ketter would like to see American Studies, Women's Studies, College F, etc. follow Social Science College to the grave. He is that kind of man. Dissent, disagreement and debate have always made Robert Ketter uncomfortable. Therein lies the true fate of American Studies PhD program. Juvenile antics There is not much to say about the wave of vandalism and mindless destruction that has hit the dormitories and other areas of the campus this fall only that students may get what they deserve when it comes time to allocate money for such tings as maintenance, maid service and window repair. Many of us came to college to get away from such juvenile antics. Others, obviously, did not. — General Education blooms We urge all students to pay close attention to the emerging report on General Education. No program will have a more profound effect on undergraduates' academic careers. The very way the University thinks about education is being reshaped and extended to a new curriculum. That curriculum will seek to restore the excitement and relevancy that seems to have been choked by the rampages of vocational ism and Arts and Letters' time to attack To the Editor Professor See’s letter of 8 October at least touches on the real problem of allocation of resources at the University. See at least takes a stand on the importance of the Liberal Arts, pointing out as he does its primary position in the intellectual history of the West. However, what See doesn’t seem to mention is that our problem doesn’t really stem from a lack of resources, a fight budget or even “the approach to education” which he describes as a “supermarket approach.” Rather, the true problem is a lack of sensitivity on the part of the University administrators and a cynical and brutal attitude toward education as whole. The outcome of the lack of sensitivity and the cynicism is the supermarket approach to education. The truth of the matter is that these administrators have never bothered to ask themselves what the “real world” is and what best prepares people for that eventuality. They believe that it really is valid to study management or nursing to the exclusion of everything else because these disciplines put bread in the mouth and a car in the garage of the individual that studies them. However, they don’t seem to care whether the student has a grasp of what other human beings are like, what they think when they aren’t working (or when they are), but they care only what human beings do. The upshot, of such an attitude is a pervasive ignorance and a brutal selfishness which excludes the validity of human life everywhere but in the workplace. The very act of using administrators to decide the needs and values of the University is detrimental to the pursuit of a philosophy of education. Administrators care about administration first; there is a vast difference between administering education apd educating. We are thus in the hands of people wjtgse primary concern is not us, but them. The only way to solve the problem is, of course, not to ask the administrators to acquiesce to our demands, to beg them for attention, but to manage the University ourselves. I mean to say that the University ought to be faculty ttb student run, like many famous and excellent Universities around the world are. The process would be noisier, certainly, more difficult, without a doubt and finally, probably far more conservative in the long run, but at least its first concern would be education. , The final and perhaps the most telling problem we face in the Arts and Letters seems to be a lack of courage in the face of the administrators. Everyone seems to be afraid of losing their position. Everyone is afraid of not being “responsible.” There is too much respect for people who deserve very little. Too much awe at President R. Ketter, too much emphasis on “what he’s done,” but not enough on what he refuses to do, is incapable of doing and what he does that is absolutely negative. The fact of the matter is that someone is kicking the collective ass of the Arts and Letters and Arts and Letters is screaming and calling.out that there is no evil. If there is no evil then who is kicking our collective ass? If Vice President Bunn isn’t absolutely wrong when he’s battering the Arts and Letters then who is? It is time to decide who is on our side and who is not, and exclude those who are against us from their respective roles, if possible. But, we in Arts and Letters must make some sort of decision about this business and stop pussyfooting. Perhaps it is time to bring the problem out of the Faculty-Administrative labyrinth and into the corridors. Perhaps, before it is too late, it is time to become intractable, obstreperous and unreasonable. We in the Arts and Letters have a long and luminous tradition of service to the culture to protect and we are not protecting it by curmudgeonly acquiescence to insult and injury. No. It is time for the faculty to take a leadership role and bring its students into the fray. It is time to take a strong public stance and recognize the power that we represent. The time for academic quiescence and deference is over, or at least, Arts and Letters must get over it and start vociferously demanding its rights and asserting its value. There is no sense Complaining in private, or even battling with the “have” portions of the University. The battle only serves to strengthen the position of the administration. It is time to attack the administration, to demand a different ordering of things. After all, long after there is no need for managers, nurses and accountants there will still be a need for people to wonder intelligently, not only over their language or literature, but over their philosophy and their pure mathematics. Arts and Letters is but a. small part of the great tradition of the Liberal Arts and all, not only my calling in Literature, are under attack. It is time to take some action. So where are our leaders in the struggle? P. Tracy Danison grade-mongering. General Education can be infinitely more rewarding than a back to basics regurgitationrBut without the interest and participation of students, it is surely doomed to mediocrity. In our dreams we see open forums and roundtable discussion among students on the issue of General Education. We see conversations striking up on buses, in cafeterias and in the classroom. We see students all over campus standing up and demanding a role in the process of change. We see fervency and a thirst for knowledge blooming throughout the student body. Such dreams are what General Education desires. We will settle for an awareness of the issue.

Levine A non-event Last Friday’s conference on the lessons of the Vietnam War was certainly a well kept secret. I found no reference to it in last Friday’s The Spectrum, saw no notices posted. I would like to know who is responsible for this fiasco? And who scheduled this forum for the Friday of a long holiday weekend of all times? I find this all deeply disturbing. The very idea of inviting a group of bureaucrats to sit around and in the most sterile and bloodless terms, discuss our involvement in the war as nothing more than a “management crisis” which we should learn from, smacks of a certain moral and intellectual bankruptcy. I find the account published in The Reporter especially- chilling; what kind of a vision is it that sees the problematics of war in such banal and vapid strategic terms as “pborly maintained equipment”, restrictive rules, of engagement,” "and "anti-colonialist inhibitions”’’ Any veteran would give you a more accurate vision of the truths, of the contradictions of fighting a war for capitalism. • contradictions brought home when your M-16, made by General Motors jams, or you’re filling body bags outside the Michelin Rubber Plantation, a no-hit zone. We have come a long way home Winter Soldier one who wishes to remember? Last Friday’s forum demonstrates once again Hannah Arualts’ maxium: behind the greatest evil there lies the most banal intentions. Which says a lot about a university which sponsors such a non-event. But I would like to turn the bureaucracy back upon itself, and, in the terms of its own accountability, demand -the names of those who are responsible for here, or is there no decisions relating to subject matter, selection of guests, -scheduling, and format. I would also like to know the total cost of this fiasco, and what justification can be offered for this non-event. It would seem to me there are more important matters that demand our attention. For in spile of what these panelists might wish us to believe, the poisons generated by the war are .still spreading and taking their slow and painful toll. Kevin Bower �Minnesota Ave. residents oppose Mickey Rats bar by John Ghonna Spectrum Staff Writer Mickey Ratsj the exclusive singles discotheque located on Main Street at Minnesota Avenue, is not your average neighborhood bar. The newly popular Buffalo nightspot, modeled after its counterpart “on the lake” in Angola, New York, attracts a representative sampling of this city’s bar-going crowd. What goes on inside can be witnessed from the street through the full length windows that face both Main Street and Minnesota Avenue. Its circular bar, hanging plants, and elevated dance floor qualify Mickey Rats as one of the more simplistic yet cosmopolitan bars in North Buffalo. Why it attracts such a crowd is evident Mickey Rats has much to offer. Through the doors and past the discerning eyes of the bouncer lies an escape from the campus atmosphere, an expansive dance floor without strobe lights and most importantly, as many single people as any bar in the area. And yet, ever since its opening in late August, the pretentious drinking establishment has been the center of a mounting controversy for the residents 6f 'Minnesota Avenue. Neighborhood concerns include incidents of burglary, noise, stolen vehicles, litter, illegal parking and rowdyism, all allegedly connected with the Main Street tavern. As a result, a petition circulated by residents of the vicinity was submitted to the Buffalo Common Council Legislation Committee, along with cries for immediate action to restore a sense of security in the neighborhood. “Things of this nature mak? a neighborhood — *o 4 unbearable,” said a major instigator of the petition, Melvin Watkins. Four conditions As reported in the October 4 edition of the Buffalo Evening News, the Common Council voted to secure the tavern’s liquor and dancing license on the basis of the establishment fulfilling four major conditions; Providing adequate parking, possibly by 'RATS ON MICKEY’; That's what some of the leasing spaces at the Ponderosa Minnesota and Main area are saying about residents the new Mickey Restaurant, located across the Rats bar in their neighborhood. Residents are complaining - customer of vandalism, rowdyism and loud noise which they blame street; Insulating a back area to keep noise from bothering — neighbors; Cleaning up litter in a one block area around the - establishment; Providing additional outside security However, according to recent interviews conducted by The Spectrum with Minnesota Avenue residents, sentiments of alarm and .concern still exist in the neighborhood. “It’s still a question of the noise coming from the bar. Sometimes it keeps me up until three or four in the morning,” said Mrs. Carl Hanson. “Yet our major complaint is about the people who return to their cars after leaving the bar. One morning, there were people running up and down the street yelling ‘bang, bang’like children,” she added. “The screeching of cars on the street as late as 4 a.m., keeps both me and my two kids awake,” bemoaned another Minnesota Avenue resident. “There really should be some street enforcement to curtail the illegal parking that goes on around here at night,” she added. In response to demands such as fights . .just to begin with.” “My house was broken into on Eugene M. Fahey has recently the night they first opened the made plans for police to tag place and three other residents illegally parked cars and tow that live within 100 yards of the vehicles away. “We’re doing bar have had their homes everything in our power to vandalized since then,” he prompt Mickey Rats to take informed. action to remedy some of the Overall neighborhood reaction complaints lodged,” assured to the opening of the new disco Fahey. Nonetheless, complains of remains mixed. “1 have no blocked driveways, noise and complaint about the noise coming litter keep Buffalo Police from the bar but on occasion, I patrolling the area in full force. have found beer bottles strewn across my lawn,” remarked Mrs. Rowdyism Charles Blatt, who resides at 33 According to most residents, Minnesota. “Some plants were the heaviest traffic on the street stolen from the house next door starts on Thursday night and and after Mickey Rats was continues through Sunday contacted concerning the matter, morning. “They’re even starting they replaced the plants.

Summit Premium Wine Geyser Peak Winery Geyserville, Sonoma County, California f ‘Motherfuckers’ According to Ponderosa manager Rod Dengos, problems may arise in this regard. “It’s company policy not to rent parking space to, any outside organization but an exception may be made in this case,” he said. The vice president of Ponderosa, John Weber, visited the restaurant recently for the purpose of inspecting the parking grounds and it is expected that he will bring the matter up before the restaurant’s legal department. Reactions of UB students who live in the area were also indecisive. “They started towing some guy’s -car away one night and he came running out of the bar yelling ‘motherfuckers’ at the top of his lungs. Everyone on the street must have been lying awake and listening that night,” said Brad Bermudez. “The noise doesn’t bother me that much, I’m used to it from living in the dorms. Some nights I even like to sit out on my porch and watch the people go by,” he added. “I’ve only been awakened by noise one night this semester but then again I’m not really listening for it,” said student Kevin Burke, who resides at 32 Minnesota. Another student, lan Magrisso, had a different reaction. “The noise coming from that bar is unbelievable. Most nights 1 can’t even find a space to park my car. They ought to close down the fucking place.” Several weeks ago, three students from this University were arrested by Buffalo Police outside Mickey Rats for allegedly harassing an off-duty police officer and his date. The students feel the arrest was unfair and impractical. “It’s just another form of discrimination against students that is practiced by the bar,” said one student involved. “The strict proof of age requirement (you must be 21 years of age to be admitted) and high drink prices at the bar are both used as a deterrent against the campus population. They want it to be like Mulligan’s on Hertel, not another Central Park Grill,” he added. “I agree that it’s the management’s prerogative to enforce a certain dress code but who are they to set such a restrictive age limit for admittance?” asked one UB socialite, Clark Desmet. Attorney Webb disagrees. “The reason for the age stipulation is that, in the opinion of the management, there is a greater possibility of fights with the admission ofyounger patrons,” he said. Councilman Fahey admitted he unaware ,of any was discriminatory practices occurring at the bar but added, “If there is a problem concerning the discrimination of UB students at Mickey Rats, I would be willing to sit down and talk about it.” Doesn’t sell cans Attorney Webb also stressed that a lot of unrelated problems in the nieghborhood are attributed to Mickey Rats. “People constantly complain of beer cans littering the streets, yet the bar doesn’t sell cans and bouncers don’t let anyone leave holding beer bottles,” he said. Webb feels that Mickey Rats has attempted to straighten up their act but says there’s just so, much that can be done. “I mean, we can’t stop a drunk from taking a piss on somebody’s lawn at 4 a.m.,” he said. All told, many residents of Minnesota Avenue remain pessimistic about the bar, but most will admit that the situation is taking turns for the better. .“In the future, it’s going to take a more concerted effort by Mickey Rats, the neighborhood and the city to keep things from getting out of hand,” said Webb. Consequently, the main problem of Mickey Rats lies in its overwhelming popularity and for this reason a proper solution is just that much harder to come by. As Webb commented, “I don’t feel that the management can be held totally responsible for what goes on outside its doors. What it comes down to is that Mickey Rats shouldn’t be penalized for being successful.” �Done in by a bus w t .

INC 7D Coffeehouse - presents Dave Van Rank the elementary school level? Who would want to? The game concerns books, and access to books by the greatest number of tuition-paying students. One of the assumptions we make about University students is that they are adult enough to be responsible for items temporarily placed in their possession. The admission that one just “happens to be absent-minded” is not sufficient reason for absolving one of that responsibility. Also, you may already know that many students do not keep books beyond the due date inadvertently, but with malice aforethought. Lowering thejines will not help that situation at all. 1 agree that UGL fines are stiff. They were set up' that way to keep our small collection from ending up in the hands of a relative few. Perhaps the time has come to review both our fine policy and our loan policy. Students have the right to expect us to do this from time to time. They also have the right to expect that, whatever the policy under which we are operating, we must be even-handed in enforcing the “rules” and that the rules be adhered to by everyone. We are not in the least interested in legislating anyone’s morality. We just want assurance of everyone’s good faith so that when a desperate student asks about a book we can tell him/her when that book is due and give assurance that it will be available at that time. Or at least the next day. We think that’s fair. Norma Segal Acting VCL Librarian Folk Legend of Greenwich Village Blues and Other Music of Life Saturday, Oct. 14th at S:30 pm Lockwood apologizes To the Editor.

Main Street Library opened September 11th, but books continued to be moved there for the next two weeks.

Parker Acting Head of Lockwood Library �Good till Dec. 31 st. Nursing gender To the Editor. We would like to respond to the Dean of Nursing’s statement in the Monday, September 25 issue of The Spectrum regarding the School of Nursing’s policies and goals, specifically the School s need for males. Dean Elder states that perhaps a larger male enrollment would add more prestige to the program. We believe that the professional nurse exhibits ability, leadership, innovation, and dedication, regardless of sex. The mere induction and recruitment of males will by no means add to the “prestige” of the profession. It is a fallacy to assume that males, by their maleness alone, can and will provide responsible leadership and efficacy of care. The problems now existing in the field of nursing are not inherent to women, but rather to varying educational backgrounds. The prestige of the School should come from program content and the quality of nursing graduates, rather than from the number of males within the program. We are in favor of a sexually integrated profession. We would hope however, that male acceptance into .the School would be for the same reasons as female acceptance. Names withheld H.S. Commager as a keynote? To the Editor. I have received an announcement if a Bills of Right Celebration at your campus. H.S. Commager is listed as the Keynote Speaker. One of Mr. Commager’s most popular books on American History contained about four (4) lines about blacks folks. I suspect the contributions of Native Americans and Spanish speaking folks were equally distorted. is a historian. The historical International Coalition In response to the article, “Minority, Foreign students band together in International Coalition" (September 15 The Spectrum ), and to clarify and to avoid any misunderstanding of the nature of International Coalition, I am compelled to write this letter. It was summer of 1978 when the minority and foreign students convened to discuss our common problems and grievances as being students of the SUNYAB: We do not receive from the student governments an equitable share of the mandatory fee we pay We have inadequate, if not non-existent in the functioning of the student governments and in their decision-making process. The student activities sponsored by the use of monies, particularly mandatory fee through Sub-Board 1, Inc. fail to address our needs and participation - interests. The student services that this University is expected to provide us with, such as the full-fledged offices of the Minority Student Affairs and Foreign Student Affairs, were the first to be cut back. We also discovered that we the same have backgrounds as our parents and ancestors are from the Third World country. We thought it would be a good idea to band together to share our common interests, to serve our common needs and to solve our common problems. As a matter of fact, we have been ignored and mistreated for so long to the point thaCwe can stand it no longer. The time has come for us, as never ready to up straight on our feet before, to fight against the injustice. To crystalize the idea, we are determined to — form International Coalition. The Coalition serves umbrella of all the minority and the International student organizations which form part of the SA, GSA and other student governments. At the present time, ft has 15 members with representatives in the General Assembly: bSU, Puerto Rican Student Organization, Native American Cultural Awareness Organization, Chjnese SA and GSA, Hellenic SA and GSA, Iranian SA, Pakistani SA and GSA, Chinese Study Group, West Indian SA, Organization of Arab Students SA and GSA. Third as Guy an an World Student Association and Taiwanese GSA, Other and Minority International student organizations are being contacted to join the Coalition. The five of the steering Committee of the Coalition include the SA Minority Affairs Coordinator, SA International Affairs GSA Third World Coordinator, The Affairs Committee Chairperson as well as two at-large members elected by the General Assembly. The aims of the Inter-Coalition according to the preamble are as follows: A common theme runs throughout this program and that is the principle of justice. Without it no part of the structure can stand. And that those who submit to authority should have a voice in their government should be an indisputable-fact. We proclaim the right to use fairly our share of all University resources and funds, and the right to participate in the decisions that are made by the Student and .the University government administration that will affect directly or indirectly foreign and minority students’ well-being as students of SUNY at Buffalo, and To develop friendly relations and cooperation and other student among foreign, minority organizations, based on respect for the principle of equal rights, self determination and autonomy in order to bring universal feeling of oneness, To unite our strength to reaffirm faith in the fundamental human rights, in the equal rights of men and women and equal opportunity in all aspects of life, and To utilize the University resources and funds for the promotion of all students of SUNY at Buffalo without regard to their national origin, race, creed, Alright, so now the UB College Council has blundered its way through yet another controversial issue. The question of cohabitation in the dorms, mandatory quiet hours and “visitation rules” was brought up at their meeting Monday afternoon and brushed aside. The fact that such issues were even discussed is ludicrous. Students here are currently treated as adults and are expected to act as adults. Any resolution that would impose the values of a group of “prominent community and business leaders” upon University students is not only regressive but downright laughable. To make matters worse, these proposals were to be voted upon and resolved without input from dormitory students. Enacting bizarre legislation such as this without consulting the .4700 constituents involved is a mstjor infringement upon the rights of dorm residents.

In addition, let it be recognized that in the past, if an individual floor or area had a problem with unacceptable noise levels, it was up to thosd residents and their RA to decide what measures, if any, were to be taken. In this way it was insured that each individual had the freedom to live his or her own lifestyle.

Invariably, with its mention there will be groans of “Oh no, I forgot about this semester’s TAP deadline!” Applying for financial assistance involves the hassle of paperwork, three years’ worth of tax returns, a calculator, and a couple of cups of coffee. Most students here realize that some form of financial aid is available to them, yet many undergraduates are unsure of how to go about applying for it. “Quite frankly, the more any student knows about the possibilities of cashing in on the various assistance programs offered, the richer he or she will be in the long run,” said Director of Financial Aid Joseph Stillwell, whose office is located in Annex B on the Main Street Campus. A trip to the Financial Aid Office would undoubtedly result in a fistful of applications from the three main sources of financial aid the University, the State of New York, and the Federal — Source Type- What Is It?

But before a student can even come to terms with any of the multi-colored applications he <is confronted with, there remlns the tricky business of establishing a need for assistance. According to Stillwell, only a thin line distinguishes what type of aid a student is eligible to receive. “All financial aid programs are on need. What is confusing is that there are different need criteria for each program,” he said. (See Stillwell maintains that whether a student meets the requirements for any particular program is determined by his “needs analysis.” This fjgiire, determined by the Univeflity Financial Aid Committee, is reached by evaluating the cost of NBSW TVfct w SOVK'.J V?*VMtaHir Jan. 31. 1979* Aid Office CSS income is below $20,000 or whose own (TAP) I A >HVtSsVoULP OFT GOAB®E^V| T I /1&|k UB Financial TAP chart.)

Millonzi countered, “Now is not the time for our opinion. We are here to listen to students.” At that point Schwartz asked all students to Program for student success training aids in adjustment program to the fall semester The module format of PSST allows for concentration on specifictopics related to student problems and presentation of special techniques and training. The 18 module topics offered this semester include Winning Ways to Meetin People, Note-taking Strategies, Struggling with Stress, and Learning to Be Assertive. Workshop leaders are from within the University as well as from community Successfully meeting the demands of college life is not a simple procedure. It often means adjusting socially and personally as well as academically. In response to these challenges facing students, this University has developed the Program for Student Success Training (PSST). The program was developed last srping through the combined efforts of director of Life Workshops Carol Hennessy, Director of Orientation Joseph Krakowiak, Director of the Program for Student Development Mary Brown and Associate Co-ordinator of Student Affairs Ann Hicks. Six module courses were offered to aid students in increasing their self-awareness and improving chances for success within the University as well as beyond the academic world. Subsequent evaluations rated PSST successful and led to the expansion of the - organizations. PSST if offered free and is non-credit. Participants must be registered UB students. The program will begin October 16, with courses offered on both the Main Street and Amherst campuses. Registration materials and information are available at the Student Development Office, 110 Norton Hall, Amherst Campus, or phone 636-2810. leave the room. They obeyed.

Commenting on the other Council members’ annoyance at the student walkout, Pierce remarked, “They’re not used to having people reject the crumbs from the table.” General Ed —continued .. from page 1 . progress report to the Faculty Senate Tuesday. The group had divided itself into subcommittees that are now in the process of gathering input from students, faculty and administrators here. The committee has also sought out theories and modes of General Education from scholarly writings and from other universities. The committee’s interim report defines General Education aS: “devoted to the development of ability in critical analysis and generalization, and their application to a range of subject matters not directly associated with a student’s major field. It also seeks to develop skills in oral, written and computational demonstrations of intellectual abilities.” Incoherence Why is there a need for what appears to be a “hack to basics” approach? The report notes that “our present undergraduate curriculum relies almost exclusively upon the student to provide coherence outside the m^jor..and recommends that the faculty take a greater role in insuring a student’s education suggests the familiarity disciplines. of all knowledge and the relationship between all Nationwide, educators feel college graduates are narrow thinkers, lacking basic intellectual skills such as writing ability and a critical perspective. The academic freedoms associate; with 1960’sreforms are, in 1978, considered to be either out of touch with the times or misguided failures, depending on the observer. Baker saw the incoherence'in undergraduate work as an artificial division between what he called “knowing” courses where the emphasis is on facts and procedures, and “thinking” courses that require imagination and creativity. According to Baker, students “push either button A or button B.” and rarely attempt to merge the two into real learning. “It’s that dichotomy that makes courses seem unrelated," he said. The committee has found that one of two approaches to General Education serves as the basis for nearly all existing programs. One approach centers General Ed around knowledge areas,, as defined by established disciplines. The other seeks to develop “intellectual skills” that students can use in all areas. The committee has yet to decide on which approach to take here. According to Karl Schwartz, student member of the committee, the only decision-making has been an informal vote against a foreign language requirement. Extensive debate Then what will General Education mean for the average student? Most involved feel that a number of required courses, or sets of courses will comprise most of the new program. The scope and style of the requirements will be subjected to a great deal of debate both within the committee and in the Faculty Senate when the final program is submitted for approval in February. Baker said that requirements are likely to vary from major to major. “I think we’ve moved away from the notion that there can be one General Education -program that, either in a practical or intellectual way, applies to all students.” he observed. Baker’s committee has found that requirements for individual majors vary drastically throughout the university. Research has also meaning uncovered what Baker called “intense over-specialization” that many students are filling electives with courses in their majors. Such a narrowly based curriculum is not found only among science students. Baker said, but shows up in the Arts and Letters areas as well. But Baker stressed that General Education should nut be considered an alternative or a “counter-point” to a student’s major. “1 see it as a complimentary thing.” he said, “putting buttons A and B - together.” TUCK AWAY A LITTLE TWOFINGERS.

MASS �sports Dirty tactics Football injuries due to coaching and equipment ot by Fred Salloum Spectrum the helmet. A common is the act of “spearing" , or hitting an opponent with the helmet. Spearing was soon tranformed into a tactic called the “rake-block." This method deals with the perpetration of sticking your helmet into an ,opponent’s chest and straightening up. Though spearing is wide spread throughout the country, this practice is seen mostly on the West Coast. In 1970 spearing was outlawed in the college ranks yet it still occurs behind the backs of the referees. infraction using the helmet Staff Writer Editors Note: This is the conclusion of a two part story dealing with injuries in professional football. This installment examines the reasons behind the brokent bones.) Violence in football has come udner attack in the last two year. Many injuries, notably those involving wide receivers Lynn Swann and Daryl Stingley, have been deemed excessively malevolent. But why are these injuries caused? A major portion occur within the limits of the rules. Yet there are always a number of athletes who play outside the rules. A major change in he game has concerned the use and misues — — — Blames coaching “The basic problem of football today,” said Davey Nelson. University of Delaware Athletic Director and Secretary-Editor of the NCAA Rules Committee, “is not to see if you can win within the rules, but to see how much can get away with to help win.” But where is this desire inititated? If tills question could be answered, football could reduce its injury rate to a point below serious risk. State University team physician Donald Cooper blames coaching. “The whole concept of coaching today is to punish the opposition. Punish you Fredonia beats soccer Bulls, avenges last year's 07 defeat by Bruce Gollop Spectrum Staff Writer Plagued FREDONIA, N.Y. with problems on the road this fall, the soccer Bulls dipped lower - The in a 3-0 loss here victory was sweet revenge for the Blue Devils after they suffered a 3-2 overtime setback to the Bulls last year. Junior Mike Preston started his third game of the year in goal for getting the nod over regular starter Mark Celeste. The game started off as a tight defensive struggle, with both teams having trouble getting used to soggy field conditions, and the early winter chill. Tim Holly had Fredonia’s best chance in the early going but was shut off in front by Preston. John Gcygliewiez had a free kick for Buffalo, Buffalo, but was .stopped by Fredonia’s netminder Pete Cumbo. The flow of the game began to shift in favor of the Blue Devils midway through the first half. Fredonia’s pressing offensive style soon paid off as Lockport native Arturo Galviz converted a Frantz Berne feed in front, putting tW home team ahead 1-0. Fredonia persisted in applying the pressure, but Preston managed to keep the Bulls close. The aggressive Blue Devils beat LIB to the ball and their stingy defense kept the Bulls stalled end. in their • Galviz put Fredonia ahead with less than five minutes to play in the half. The goal was s<t up by a corner kick that saijed in front of the net. The initial shot wis stopped by the defense, but the rebound ricocheted out to Galviz, and Preston had no chance. The goal totally demoralized the Bulls, as they looked very disorganized after that. Fredonia nearly scored Imported from Canada by Century Importers, Inc., New Vfatk, NY them.” So in many instances, bad tactics actually originate from coaching. On the other hand, it may be the player whose device to impress the coach is to get a “good hit” in. Does this happen at UB? “No, not at this level,” UB defensive tackle Larry Rothman conjectures. Rothman personally feels-that Division 111 football is “very competitive”, but that “the guys aren’t out for blood or anything.” UB trainer Mike Reilly said that “most injuries here occur in a game that’s a runaway.” When asked if dirty tactics were taught, Reilly responded that “many high school athletes are taught techniques improperly,” and added that this is the main reason for injuries in football. Reilly criticized this year’s Sports Illustrated series from August 14,21, and 2i on violence. “The (SI) statistics were stretched . . .and mislead the people reading that,” he said. Nonetheless, studies such as Si’s have shown serious injuries at every level. UB head football coach Bill Dando thought of one play this season where a player was injured. “He was clipped after the play ended,” Dando recalls. “It was on a punt, and on a punt you’re not supposed to hit below the waist.” The biggest loss this year for the UB squad was sophomore linebacker Dan Vecchies. Vecchies was attempting to make a tackle on a screen play. “I got hit from the side ... my foot just caught hold of the field,” Vecchiss said. He added that the hit was perfectly legal. The result: two torn ligaments and a cartilage that had to be removed. Asked if dirty playing happens in Division III football, Vecchies responded; “I think it happens in any level, it’s Division III but guys still are getting their shots in.” Football teams and players often devote their lives to football. The well known quote “It’s not wheter you win or lose, but how you play the game” has been cruelly twisted by modern player’s barbaric mentality.

Albany St. 16 With the score 16-0 the start of the fourth period, the “better late than never kids” go into their act. Albany is strictly a running team and Buffalo knows that. — - by Greg Slater Staff Writer Spectrum The Buffalo Men’s tennis team turned in a very respectable performance in the SUMY Athletic Conference Championships last Friday and Saturday, placing third out of twelve teams. Despite the fact that no UB player won a final match in his respective division, coach Tom LaPenna was very pleased with his young teams’ showing “Considering none of my players had ever performed in this tournament before, I’m happy with the result that five men reached either the quarterfinals, semis or final rounds/’ stated LaPenna. UB had four singles players seeded, Todd Miller first. Bill Kaiser fourth, Dave Meyers fifth, and Bob Kllenbogen sixth. Miller lasted the longest, reaching the finals before surrendering his first match of the year to the unbelievably sound Paul Feldman of Albany 6-2. 6-1. Despite his fine play last year. Miller was competing in his first conference championship. LaPenna attributed his rushed play, “partially to nervousness, and the rest as a result of Feldman’s fine errorless play.” Despite his winning first singjes, Feldman and the Albany squad finished second overall to Binghamton. Unsure Dave Mdyfcrs, playing solidly and exhibiting very strong groundstrokes. proved he deserved being seeded by,>reaching the semi-finals Third and fourth qualifiers. Jon Schneps and Bill Kaiser overcame considerable early nervousness in reaching the quarterfinals. Schneps finally ran into stiff competition in the quarter-finals. Appearing unsure and lacking confidence, the freshman’s inexperience was evident. Kaiser, after playing a well balanced his earlier matches, ran into game considerable serving and volleying difficulties in bowing out in his quarterfinal match. Both Ted Baughn and Ellenbogen had rough matches in the first round. Baughn served poorly, which accounted for an unexpectedly early departure in three sets, while Fllenboegen.who never got his stroke on track was very nervous and was dropped in three quick sets. Miller and Kaiser came back in doubles, teaming well in going all the way to the finals. Once there, up they again met Albany’s Feldmen who teamed up with Fertig. After playing evenly with Miller and Kaiser early on, the Albany duo pulled away to a 6-4,6-3 victory in a well played match. “I’m very pleased with my new players; they’ve all gained valuable experience,” remarked LaPenna. who is pleased with UB’s 8-1 record, “and this fall season gives a good idea about how tough we’ll be when the important spring season begins..” The Women’s Tennis team had little trouble with Houghton College on Tuesday, crushing the tiny school 50. Houghton didn’t have enough players for five singles matches and two doubles so two of the singles bouts were dropped. Only first singles April Zolczer had any problems, but she managed a 6-4, 7-5 win. In other matches: Dee Dee Fisher defeated Debbie Persons 6-2, 6-0; Heidi Juhl beat Mary Ann Christ 6-1,6-0;Kris Schum and Judy Wisniewski downed Carolyn Malstrom and Carolyn Shirley 6-1, 6-1 and Lynda Stidham and Lynne Kirchmaier shut out Patty Reed and Janice Pinch 6-0,,6-0.

There is at least one ever year, but never more than three. On this day, people are especially disposed to avoidance. They avoid making purchases, they avoid taking chances and, most interestingly, records show that they also avoid getting married. Ironically, the Buffalo Marriage .License Bureau is located on the 13th floor. This disposition also carries forth to the sports world. On the 88 Fridays that have been 1 3ths in the last 50 years, a surprisingly low number of extraordinary athletic performances have occurred. There are records of only one triple play, and only one no hitter. And the no hitter was in Double A baseball. 1 expected to find stories of strange accidents, weird bounces and momentous events. 1 probably could have found a host of historic items for almost any day. But this day is different. It seems that the mystique of the day actually deters exceptional performance. Athletes, a perenially superstitious lot, don’t seem inclined to challenge fate. But there were some notable happenings on Friday the 13ths in the past. These are the most interesting; July 13, 1934 Sports Editor An unnamed member of the UB football team has been severely reprimanded for his role in last Friday’s scuffle between student basketball players and the football Bulls in Clark Gym, according to football coach Bill Dando. “I told him if it happens again, he’s off the team,” Dando said. Several students, including former UB basketball star Larry Jones, were playing basketball when the football team entered the" gym at approximately 3:50 p.m. to conduct a brief practice. Lightning and rain mandated the indoor practice during a time period originally slated for open recreation. According to Dando, the team waited ten minutes, until 4 p.m., before asking the basketball players to leave the floor. But, Dando said, the players did not immediately consent. “They were all hot and bothered,” he related. Dando went to discuss the matter with one of the players, he said, when “Bang. Before I know it, something’s going on behind me. They started screaming and yelling and all hell broke loose.” Only a half hour The disturbance lasted for only a minute, Dando said, before order was restored. Jones acknowledged that Dando “helped break things up.” Campus Security arrived on the scene shortly after the scuffle’had ended. Though Dando regretted the conflict, he was upset by the student’s objections to his practice session. “It’s one athletic team to another,” he said. “In a half hour, we’re done.” While Dando played down the incident, the students, led by Jones, were considerably more upset. “There was no respect on their part,” Jones said. “They came into the gym-and said, ’We’re going to take the court over!”’ According to Jones, Mike Mosley, who was playing with basketball, was pushed and thrown to the ground. Mosley, who also played basketball for UB last year, was not injured, Jones said. Claiming that the conflict was racially based, Jones took his complaint to Black Student Union Secretary William Higgs. “You have free recreation time but do you really have free recreation time?” Higgs asked. White players too “I’m more concerned with whether or not the gym is open to students,” commented Group Legal Services (GLS) Attorney Richard Lippes. GLS Associate Director voiced a similar opinion. “There can possibly be racial undertones to the issue but the more critical point is that UB students in general are affected.” Dando also thought little of the black players’ racial charge. “Isn’t everything a racial issue?” he asked. The coach pointed out that there were a number of white players in the gym at the time, a fact Jones verified. But replied Jones, “Nobody swung at them.” Director of Recreation and Intramurals Bill Monkarsh doesn’t feel students should worry about their right to the gym. “During recreation hours,” he said, “the gym is reserved for recreation.” Monkarsh stated that certain changes can-be made in the schedule to insure everyone’s satisfaction. ‘This is one way we keep'the system going,” he said. Dando predicted no repercussions from the dispute. “It was nothing as far as I’m concerned,” he said. • Bouton would never have another good year.

Most striking was the period in the mid-seventies when he toured with The Band and subsequently recorded Blood on the Tracks, one of the greatest of rock albums. Since July, Dylan has released an album Street Legal, delivered an edited version of his movie Renaldo and Clara, and toured New Zealand, Japan, Australia, Europe; he is now in the ifiidst of a 67-date tour of North America. I had the opportunity to see two of the shows of the current tour; September 23 in Rochester and October 9 in Buffalo. After reading reviews of many other of the dates, it became evident that the shows were quite similar with only a few song changes in a slow evolutionary process. The shows consist of two hour-long sets. Throughout the concert, Dylan and his band perform about 25 songs which fairly represent the different periods of his career. All the songs are rearranged; with the tempo, the instrumentation, the vocal phrasing, and often even the melodies altered substantially. The ten-member band (and three background vocalists) are possibly the best band that Dylan has by Andrew Ross To a fanatical fan, the realization that the performers that you have grown up with are aging can be frightening. This helpless feeling became apparent to me last year when Rolling Stone ran a very uncomplimentary picture of John Lennon. Lennon was wearing a rather conservative tie and suit, had a very anxious look upon his face, and to say the least, was balding and greying above the temples. Escorting one of his children, he quite easily fit the role of the father rather than that of one of the greatest "Rock and Rollers" of all time. Last Monday night, once again the feeling overcame me. More time has slipped by than I care to realize. On stage was a very old looking Bob Dylan, obviously wrecked and worn out from the demands of touring. But Dylan was not willing to furnish us with just an evening of nostalgia. In concert he has always tried to arrangesongs differently to add variation to his sound, and more importantly, to make the music applicable to changing times. Monday’s concert reflected this attitude. Historically, it has been Dylan’s trademark to retreat into a period of low played with since The Hawks became The Band. Playing together for all but one song, the group presented an array of pleasing the members of The Band, the new band is free just to supply simply accompaniment, while at times Dylan gives the band time to arrangements. expound. New band showcased “Masters of War," "Ballad of a Thin Man” and “All Along the Watchtower" were all altered drastically in order to showcase the band. “Masters of War” opened with a Bo Dicdley type beat and before it ended, lead guitarist P'llly Cross performed an inspired solo which was heavily influenced by Hendrix. Throughout the night Cross lent the hard edge of his guitar to many more songs, often alternating solos with hornman Steven Douglas. The sound of this band is reminiscent of The Band; both keyboafdist Allan Pasqual and hornman Steven Douglas are emulative of The Band’s Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson respectively. With ten members, the present band is able to produce a fuller sound than The Band was ever able to. An even more important advantage is the new band’s ability to accompany Dylan better than The Band was able to do. If one listens to Before the Flood, it sounds as though The Band and Dylan are racing each other. Without the obvious ego interplay between Dylan and two Soungs which comprised most of the sets, among them, ‘‘Just Like A Woman,” "Sooner or Later,” and "Like A Rolling Stone," remained relatively true to the originals while "Blowin’ in the Wind,” "She Acts Like We Never Have Met,” “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue,” “Girl From the North Country,” "Romona" and "I Want You” were quite changed yet remained recognizable. Even Dylan errs Perhaps the three failing numbers of the show are "Maggie's Farm,” "Tangled Up In Blue," and "One More Cup of Coffee.” In all these songs the instrumentation and vocal phrasing are incongruous with the meanings of the songs. The most offensive was "Maggie’s Farm” where disco styled violin frills dotted the song. In this song, Dylan has added vocals which make you feel as though he is not paying attention to the lyrics while in the background, trite and repetitious vocals further degrade the song. '' Throughout his career, Dylan’s vocal —continued on page 34— illy Joel struts his stuff Piano Man earns title Bouncing on stage in his customary outfit pants, suitcoat, tie and sneakers Billy Joel pounded into a raw, powerful rendition of "The Stranger.” After “Somewhere Along the Line,” complete with dramatic, agonized gestures, he stood up to acknowledge the crowd and receive his adulation. It was given to him, and he responded with a tip of his Yankee cap. More adulation. He half-shouted ‘‘Piano Man,” to deafening screams, he danced about, feinting punches, and shook hands with lots of lucky people. His repertoire generally consists of his standard, proven, effective concert formula, but this night there was less sitting at the piano and more singing while strutting. Joel soon got into some of his new stuff from his sixth album, 52nd Street, which THE PIANO is due to be released in about a week MAN: In a rare repose, (that’s today, folks!).

Joel, as evidenced by the 17,000 adoring and vocal fans (even the sections behind the stage were full), has certainly hit the big time. It’s pleasing to notice that fame hasn’t really made too great a difference in him. His shows are still two hours long, with the customary, legendary four encores. He still does a sampling of material from all of his albums (with the exception of his first, Cold Spring Harbor, which he always chooses to ignore in concert). The older songs haven’t lolt any of their style and freshness, thougji they have been played hundreds of times.

An extremely well the tune would stand up on record, talented musician, as well as Joel’s though. “Stiletto" was my favorite of the right-hand man (they were gesturing to one — — — — another and sending messages back and forth across the stage all evening), Cannata is beginning to develop a following of his own. That tune also gave Billy Joel a chance to pay homage to the Yankees and Reggie Jackson, as well as to do his “sleazy New York Club” routine. After the great “Only the Good Die Young,” Joel played a cool emcee, introducing his talented band. Its core members, Cannata, Liberty DeVitto on drums, and Doug Stegmeyer on Fender bass, were joined by David Brown and Russell J avers on acoustic and electric guitars respectively. "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant” was the grand finale, a definitive piece well-done as always. Five encore songs were performed, among them, the classic “Captain Jack.’’ Joel basked in the applause, standing atop a speaker like an ancient god on Mount Olympus, magnanimously inviting the band back to do another tune. Finally, “Souvenir,” and a closing line, “Good Night Buffalo, don’t take any shit from anybody,” that he’s used before. But it doesn’t matter, Billy, ‘cause everybody loves you now ... GOING OUT OF BUSINESS li II Beginning Monday, October 16th The University Bookstores SQUIRE HALL BALDY HALL • Look for our weekly specials Coming This Week: Office Supplies 10 - 50% Off • ELLI �I neil Young live! 3 ■0 A night by Ross Chapman Three weeks ago, Lester Zipris in his book column, Literati, made a distinction between high and low brow literature, the former being described as one (which) looks backward, towards classical and traditional forms” and as “aesthetic isolationism... defined by philosophical and theoretical questions.” The latter is "radical” and “sensitive to the crisis of life in modern America.” This descriptive distinction brought to mind a number of issues relevant to the television medium. My discussion here, though not attendant to Mr. Zipris' discussion, precipitates from it In television, when one thinks of programs "sensitive to the crisis of life in modern America," Norman Lear sit-comscome to mind. The social issues bandied about on programs like AH in the Family, Maude, and AHs Fair make plain Lear’s intent to infuse "relevancy” into his scripts. Antithetical to this are MTM comedies which steer clear of issues, concentrating instead on its characters. Shows like The Mary Tyier Moore Show and The Bob Newhart Show are certainly aesthetically isolated” and do indeed hanker after “classical and traditional forms.” Social relevancy is not a factor in these personal comedies. To put this distinction simply, the focus of Norman Lear productions tends to be more external than the focus of MTM productions which is definitely internal. Being of a critical frame of mind, I find myself naturally drawn to the question of which is better. It has always seemed to me that Lear shows succeed if they do succeed in spile of themselves. This pursuit of relevancy is a drawback as the true joy of television comedy is to be found in irrelevancy. It would be possible, suppose, to attempt a proof of this on purely theoretical grounds. But then, I would violate the commitment made at the'outset of this column, that is, to explore the nature of television through particular instances of programming. In keeping with this, will take a more topical — — I I I approach. Shows like The Mary Tyler Moore Show or The Bob Newhart Show rely on a matrix of characters to carry their comic force. They have a linear progression from one episode to the next; the characters develop and become settled in their roles. A show like AH in the Family also creates such a matrix but displays a heavy reliance on issue-oriented plots. Thus, AH in the Family consists of a series of episodes in which Archie is either brought face to face with a particular social issue or some minority group. Of course, AH in the Family is a successful program but only because its principal players, Carroll O’Connor and Jean Stapleton, are actors of great dignity. The development of their characters overrides the leering aspects (pun intended) of the show. One is always aware of Lear’s hyberbolic manipulation. In the first season, before Archie and Edith shaped up into the characters we know today, we see them as Lear and his cronies continue to see them: a crusty,ignorant bigot and a brainless, screeching old hag. These descriptions may be a bit extreme but it stands more in the dicrection of Lear’s true conception of the Bunkers than anything else. It has only been through the art of O’Connor and Stapleton that Archie and Edith have become the rare creatures that they are. Still, they are not safe. Last season saw Edith assaulted by a rapist and the season before that had Archie plagued by impotence. Norman Lear's insistence on these rude, leering intrusions in the name of reJevancy epitomize what has gone wrong with all Lear productions. In contrast, MTM displays a remarkable and unswerving respect for its characters and, more importantly, for our feeling for these characters. Grant Tinker, president of the production company, does not have Mary or Emily Hartley raped just to prove a point or to make a clownish stab at poignancy. We do not see Bob Newhart or Lou Grant fending off mass murderers or terrorists. MTM recognizes that an assault on these characters is an assault on the affection viewers have for them. It is not only bad business it is in bad taste. True to form, the two Lear entries this season are fraught with this costly reverence for relevancy. In the Beginning, starring M*A *S*H drop-out Maclean Stevenson, is about an uptight, square priest and a hip, young nun working together in a ghetto church mission. The show is a perfect environment for Lear’s purposes. The nun and priest provide a pap microcosm of the generation gap and, being in the ghetto, social issues can just walk in off the street. Apple Pie is no better. Featuring some veterans of Lear’s Maude and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, the show takes place in the Depression (a lot of being-poor jokes, FDR jokes, etc.) and is about a woman who gathers a “family” through the classified ads, resulting in a lot of supposedly satirical gags on family life. These two shows are prime Lear vehicles, i.e., characters pared down to mere mouthpieces for his social commentary. On the other hand, there’s- WKRP in Cincinnati from MTM. I’ve seen the show a few times now and the characters have made themselves comfortable in just the short while. If this process continues, WKRP could be the success that In the Beginning and Apple Pie won’t be. Let it be known that I have nothing against social commentary. What I object to is the Lear-propagated notion that social relevancy can somehow compensate for bad taste. And as platitudinous as it might sound, things do have their place and to smother a comedy show with an overlay of gratutitous relevancy is a mistake of the highest order. So I would say that in the future, dear viewers, be leery of leering Lear productions. Stick to the irrelevant. — of music to remember by Barbara Komansky Are we not men? This is the musical question that every person in attendance at Thursday’s night's Neil Young concert in Rochester could have been asking himself. What with the Sand people, the Coneheads, the 5000-scale McIntosh amps, and the I wo Jima mock-up mike, it all got to be a bit confusing. But consider this: Just as you could laugh at all of Young’s mise-en-scene comedy, you could be laughing at the man responsible for it. He’d probably even tell you that you’ve got the right. He was a pop culture icon with pop culture props. But the difference between Neil Young and Star Wars becomes overwhelming as soon as the man starts playing. It is music that will last when Darth Vader is. finally torn down to be used as replacement parts for a Chevy. It’s already been a decade for Neil Young, and he has proven himself to be consistently durable. There is no doubt that he will continue to stand as, one by one, the closest associates either pack it in or become pdllars of salt as they constantly look backwards. The most telling line of the night came during a number of which Young performed twice, once acoustically and once with Crazy Horse behind him. In "Out of the Black and into the Blue," Young sings "The King is gone but not forgotten/ This is a song for Johnny Rotten.” This may have been a heavy dose for the fans who yelled for "Down by the River” to swallow. Nevertheless it shows that Young will not gef sucked into the confortaijje whirlpool of formulaic success.ft; is music that he plays add consequently it is all which he is influenced. The New Wave is no threat to Neii Young; he respects it and acce'pts ft. No need to denigrate what you are able to transcent. Categories are for file clerks, not musicians. Dreamland coming on When the giant trunks rise from the giant Fender-style amp casings, Young sits up fro his bed atop one and Ibinks. What a dream it must have been, a lot stranger than a day in the life. And what a dream to live on Sugar Mountain, a noisy place but still no other is better. Young's voice is strong and clear, temporarily dispelling the rumours of physical illness and vocal exhaustion. All in white and rail-thin, he peers out with those dark hawk-eyes, making random contact with the audience. Some of the fans could never have been heard of the Buffalo Springfield until as late as the years after Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young broke up, and yet not having lived through it does not lessen the effect for them. To make new fans with the "old stuff” and maintain the old with new material shows a talent that is not easily matched. And because Young has not done a major national solo tour in four years, his concert does not become one Rock '/>' at Naif Young's acoustic sat in Rochi roll will never die imansKy of those affairs where you go because you’ve never seen him do "Cowgirl in the Sand” or “Old the decibels flying indiscriminately about.

Crazy Horse is loud, loud, and "Come On Baby, Let’s Go loud, they rock the electric set Downtown.” There was a hole like a steamroller, flattening onstage where Danny Whitten, everything in their path.

It is the latest in a series of self-exploratory films by Woody Allen reaching its paramount comic expression in the very enjoyable but aesthetically ambiguous Annie Hall. But as he made these films, some of which Love and Death, Bananas are comic classics, Allen publically yearned to make a serious, "artistic” film, citing constant criticism that because-his films were comedies, they could never be great. But the critics err. The notion that comedies can’t express anything serious, or artistically noteworthy, is indicative of the sort of effete snobbery in the art world that has always angered me. Art may evoke reaction but the art resides in the doing and not in the reaction. Comedy is that narrative art form which evokes laughter as tragedy evokes tears.

And there’s Watching Interiors one gets the daughters (Mary Beth Hurt), is Flyn (Kristin Griffith), the third impression that Allen’s idea of tied by guilt to the crumbling daughter, a successful TV actress non-comedy unmitigated is misery who is, as one character observes, and gloom. But this too is a Allen s homage to Art Revealing the bare Ross Chapman Woody Allen’s newest work, a dramatic film of the grimmest kind, is called Interion because it takes place almost entirely in cool, carefully-composed rooms with bare walls painted in white, beige, or muted pastels. In the same way, the film itself is cool and composed, photographed and directed with almost maniacal good taste. The cadence and coherence of Interiors is never lost, never falters, and Allen can be credited with making one of the cleanest films in the recent history of American cinema. Under Allen’s creative guidance, cinematographer Gordon Willis has become a master interior decorator. Against this rigidly harmonious backdrop of tasteful rooms and tasteful directing are a group of characters so miserable and so vocal about their misery that the film’s emotional impact clots rather than bleeds. For such a visually tidy film, Interiors is glutted with noisy soul-searching. It is a veritable catalogue of metaphysical anxieties. The film seems as if it were prescribed for Allen by his analyst as a catharsis. All of Allen’s morbid and self-deprecating preoccupations appear here. v0 mistake. Even the most serious dramatic film has its flashes of humor. In Interiors, Allen is so intent on not being funny, the film is choked and stifled: an entire range of human expression is excised.

Jackson Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden to till the ground from whence he was taken. -Genesis 3:30 •§ The return of Tunny Face' No sooner had God sent man forth from the garden than he set labor upon the ground for his daily bread. At the root of the 0 myths of man, at the root of the reality of his modern counterpart, lies the act of work. The first journalist of the new beat was there to cover it, the Bible set it down. Adam had his man to record it. But no more. n Modern man labors in the silence of modern literature. His efforts •g go unrecorded, his pain and anguish unnoticed, his achievements 1 ignored. The worker is mule, it would seem; his is the vocabulary of the land not of the voice; he gestures, he sweats, but none describe it. Yet. In 1972, Studs Terkel thrust upon the American conscience a record of modern work. His book Working made the best-seller list and refused to fade from it. This seminal text is a document of the workers’ voice. In Its farmers and miners, mechanics and cops, hackies and waitresses, gravediggers and nurses, all speak about the jobs they do and how they feel about them. As its two million sales indicated, people wanted to read about themselves, about what they do and what others like them do. But Terkel's book was the book of a journalist, of a historian. He was the man with the tape recorder, with the editor’s scissors and crayon and paste. He wrote the modern biblc of work, but Adam himself had yet to take up the pen. In 1978, Singlejack Books, a small press out of San Pedro, California, began to publish small pocket-size editions made to slip into a worker’s shirtpocket. The first two were Steelmill Blues by Steve Packard and Longshoring on the San Francisco Waterfront by Reg Theriault. These books were written by workers about their own work. Both books are plain and straightforward: the authors describe the work they do, how it feels, what it means to them. Theriault is an old-timer. President of Ifis union local, he has been on the docks for over 30 years and he speaks of his equipment, his fellow-workers and his job with a familiarity that has yet to breed contempt. He respects himself and he respects what he does. He has a perspective on the value and nature of his work: "Work, being central to civilized man’s existence, provides for change, makes it possible. But, on evidence, work over the years seems to have changed more slowly than any other of man’s activities." He describes modern longshoring as an occupation that would not seem alien on the banks of the Nile or on the Thames, two millenia or 200 years ago Packard, on the other hand, is a rather callow and inexperienced youth, a comparative newcomer to the steel mills of Gary, Indiana where he had served a tenure of but six months. Unlike Theriault, he seethes with dissatisfaction, contempt for the corporation, suspicion of his union. But Packard is emphatically not a 30-year man; he is a child of the sixties, of the anti-war movement, of the college youth who sought meaning in the nation's places of work. The work he experiences is not itself of value, and he is alienated from it and from those with whom he labors. But no less than Theriault does one believe Packard, because his too is a voice of labor, only he sees with different eyes and speaks with a different generation’s vocabulary; “More and more of my day becomes deep thoughts and ramblings. When I came here I had vague, radical ideas about being an organizer. Lately I am just an observer.” Two men, two voices, but it is a beginning. Antecedents for this literature extend like muted light-buoys along the historical coast of American letters. Books such as Harvey Swados’ On the Line, Abraham Cahan’s The Rise of David Levinsky, Ernest Poole’s The Harbor, and Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle have marked the frontier of the American literary tradition; are like the railroad tracks between the two sides of town. These are novels which consider work worthy of literary attention, but they are on the fringe. A tradition of a literature of work has yet to be established in this country. Clearly neither Packard nor Theriault are writing fiction, yet their books, like those works published by The Deep City Press (cited recently by Tamin Ansary in an article which appeared both in in These Times and The Spectrum), are hopefully the harbingers of a new interest in work as the proper subject of fiction. If in the beginning was the word, lean into the silence and listen. Z man . new Over half a century ago, George and Ira Gershwin's musical Funny Face was performed for the opening of the Alvin Theater in New York City. Last week, Funny Face reappeared to usher in another era in Bdffalo theater history at the new Studio Arena Theater unveiling. ° Directed by Studio Arena’s Executive Producer Neal Du Brock, the musical’s story line is reminiscent of a Shakespearean comedy. There are the two sets of ill-matched lovers, the jester, the idyllic country setting, and the inevitable pulling together of loose ends, 1920’s style. Frankie (April Shawhan) is Jimmy’s award, who, inknown to her, is crooner Hap Harrigan the faceless radio persona she is infatuated with.

But though these gestures are they remain gestures we see and comprehend but do not feel: they lack Bergman’s passion. The three sisters of this saga do not so much develop as pontificate upon their development. Even Bergman couldn’t get away with this significant jabber. His films are rich with imagery that reveal his fascination with the violent and the grotesque. (Who could ever forget the procession of the flagellants in the Seventh SeaP) Allen goes through the motions without Bergman’s insight. Woody Allen suffers from a typified Jewish reverence for learning aggravated by the fact that he is himself an uneducated man. He sits, so they say, and watches the films of Ingmar Bergman, not with rapture or philosophic fascination, but with deep-hushed tones of respect. Art for Allen is not vital or seminal but a series of gestures handed down from artist to artist like the iconic mumblings of priests sequestered in chilly, vaulted cathedrals. Art, for him, has no affinity with blood surging through arteries, or with warm, wet tissue secreting compulsions, or with the buzzing electronics of brain cells. well-executed, * Hey baby, get on down to Patrick Henry’s on October 22, and you’ll be treated to one of the best rock and roll shows to hit the city since the New York Dolls celebrated Halloween at Kleinhans.

Profundity in real art has a biological metaphor: unseen pulsations, unviewed structure necessarily induced from well-observed surfaces. In great films, like those of Godard or Altman, all we see are surfaces but these surfaces are not superficial. A third dimension is implicated and perhaps because such films do not display but allow us to discover interiors for ourselves, we are moved by them all the more. Allen’s idea of depth is to turn things inside out, transforming dimension into a readily-viewed surface. Interiors is a good title for this film, not only because it is confined to the indoors, but because this is what Allen is obviating: the inside of people. But people turned inside out are not people; they’re schematics, mere anatomical charts without affectual credibility. Ultimately, Allen’s own attitudes are turned against him: Interiors is not a work of art; it is a homage to art.

He’s hidden himself studying art and medicine and writes like a tempered high brow rock star, tempered because he's a bit more cognizant of the masses now. While his last album, Peter Gabriel, was enriched by a marvelous expansion into various musical genres from classical to barbershop rfiusic, this album, Peter Gabriel (Atlantic) relies equally on experimentation a savory of creative ability while maintaining popular appeal. But why did a presumptuous star of Genesis try to forget his pretenses 7 How did the singer who wrote obscure, esoteric lyrics (which were thought evoking) turn into a high brow who might relate to the masses? Well, Gabriel finally realized he was a middle brow just like most record buyers and decided to make the most of that discovery. So Gabriel does what he knows with some class, with excited singing and dramatic music about middle-brow blues suburban and lower class depression seen through the eyes of freakish personas. There’s no doubt Gabriel copped some of the macabre - shadows. Artwork is generally oversized so that retouching will be less noticeable when it is shrunk to the proper dimensions.

And I thought both of these choices were responsible for the problems with Van Morrison’s last release, A Period of Transition (Warner Bros.), particularly with the tune “Do You Know the Way to Kansas City?” Morrison was too gospel-folksy, in a schizophrenic way; he took the two genres, combined them without direction, but both stuck out so that the too obvious means seemed tawdry. This legend called Van, who I have only listened to tangentially, this legend was riding down the road to disrespect, even if people would say that Van is Van, as they say the Stones are the Stones. But Morrison’s Wavelength is one of those superb records which not only saves him from obscurity, or the sentimentality of the nostalgic folk who dug his band, Them, but also is one of his best, both lyrically and vocally. Morrison’s voice is alive like a cowboy romping along America’s plains; a loner who hasn’t seen anyone for months and you’re the first person he comes in contact with after his journey. He’s excited, he’s dusty, he’s believable, and wants to tell you everything. Too slick Wavelength is Morrison’s ode to America, not as an Irishman would see the country but as an American would relive the past. Yup, Morrison discovers the USA and he's chauvinstic and teary-eyed during the yearning "Santa Fe,” during the awfully positive feeling of progress and opportunity in "Take It Where You Find It:" Lost •*» A 'V.VA\ ,;t, . .

Now Gabriel doesn’t fail and doesn’t win. He’s in between, slave to no one but himself. Part of his mind remains with Genesis; he still wants to tell the world stories with piqued meter and crazed,, shrieking vocals. I mean, it's been a trademark of progressive rock to pile 15 syllables into a syncopated 4/4 beat and Gabriel did it the best... or most often. That he yet does this is his problem. It’s just damn hard to —continued on page 34— returns... *** dreams and found dreams in America Ah, but the music and the background singers, especially the background singers, make the record sound too slick, and what's more, the gospel sound is unneeded. Morrison has enough guts on this record to give a sweaty, black, Southern, early 1900's preacher a run for his singin’ money. And on “Take It Where You Find It,” the horns sound all too royal to be American, unless Van’s parodying and I don’t think he is. Finally, the synthesizers on "Wavelength” would be just boring additions if Van’s voice didn’t save them. Barbie Rankin S Friends 1st show at 10:00 pm Statler Hilton 856*1000 Young and ode There is the temptation to call the new Neil Young record, Comes A Time, (Warner Bros), a banal project, unworthy of the time Young spent recording it. The problem is how long one can stand being mellow without a chance to rock. Nothing childish can come about from Young choosing the folk-rock genre without rocking; but if Young could be a bit kiddish, then he wouldn’t be so impoverished. A kid in rock can get away wjth a bunch of stuff an adult can’t; Young is too much an maybe too adult; not too old, not middle-aged — mature. Young cooked up a pot-pourri of musicians and called them "The Gone With The Wind Orchestra” for Comes A Time and this sounds real fine in the thin sense. It’s like looking at a balding gent who combs his hair over the shiny spot, then gets caught in a hurricane. You only see the person "baring his scars” as Young wrote of LBJ on the last record when the wind is blowin'. “Human Highway" and "Four Strong Winds” are cluttered with guitars and strings and just half the time Neil’s excellence comes out for a view.

For an example, we can "uncover” the workings of Hipgnosis, the firm which handles Pink Floyd, Genesis, and others. Representatives of Hipgnosis make their rounds to the art departments of various record companies, displaying their portfolios. Of course, the less harrowing alternative is when Hipgnosis is contacted by the recording act, their manager, or the recording company itself. Once the assignment is accepted, a brief is prepared in conjunction with the band and their manager on which direction the ideas will flow, a decision that encompasses the music of the client, as well as the lyrics, concept of the album, the album title, and the group’s image. At this initial meeting, a budget is estimated, schedules are concocted for the artwork’s completion and decisions on lettering, stickers and lyric inserts are made. Hipgnosis proceeds to construct several test designs, tossing about ideas and hurling criticisms, forming a “think tank” by playing the music over and trying to “see" the messages present within. Intuition, along with luck, seems to be the most reliable spark. In the production stage, there are hassles . presents the unique musical , Editor's note: This Is the second part of a two article series on the artistry and construction of album sleeves. The commander of the ship of record covers is the Art Director whose decisions determine the whole sleeve’s appeal. He secures the right photographers, the appropriate artists, and supervises the layout. He may even take care of the entire assignment by himself. The Art Director must think of the potential audience willing to buy the album. His tastes must be adjusted for-each sleeve job, and he must put himself in the shoes and wallet of the discriminating public. He wants to get your attention. Roslav Szaybo, Art Director on the British side of CBS Records, has firm beliefs about his profession. He maintains that a) nobody buys records just for the cover; b) covers do not. sell they just help; c) a good record will sell records regardless of the cover; d) “commercial can be art; and e) many people in the industry treat covers like boxes of cereal. .

Perhaps as a result of constant touring, it is now more of a chanting than a singing; also contemplative £ it is more rushed and less I than ever before. Too, his voice is more hoarse than usual. As a result, more agressive songs such as '‘Masters of War and "Ballad of a Thin Man" were interpreted quite well while "I Shall Be Released" and especially “It Ain't Me Babe" suffered, "It Ain’t Me Babe” was the only acoustic solo performance of the night and because his phrasing has changed so much, the delivery of the lyrics was quite unconvincing. For me, Dylan’s harmonica was the song’s saving grace. Perhaps a problem of Dylan having such a strong band is that he does tend to hide behind them quite a bit. I recently saw Renaldo and Clara which contains approximately 40 minutes of concert footage from the Rolling Thunder Revue tour. It was obvious that the band for that tour wasn’t nearly as strong as his present one, but what this served to do was made Dylan exert himself a little more. In songs such as “Isis" and "One More Cup of Coffee,” the movie’s two musical highlights, Dylan’s interpretation is so forceful that one gets a full dose of the magic which only glimmers periodically during the present tour. - New music performed During the concerts Dylan played many songs from his newest album Street Legal. Without exception, the concert versions of the album’s songs arc performed better. The album was recorded rather hastily, just shortly after the band formed, accounting —continued from p«4fl 25— . . . for the quality of the renditions. “Changing of the Guard” and "Is Your Love In Vain" are two of the better songs on the album. Because of the reliance on backup vocals and almost incoherent vocals by Dylan, a song which is executed well in concert fails somewhat on the album.' The album version of “Is Your Love in Vain" passion while in suffers from a lack concert the emotion filters through. “Stop Crying,” which Dylan performed and in Rochester, is lyrically mockingly passionate. "Senor,” another song performed on the Rochester night, is the album's most mystical and cryptic and perhaps the album's best. There are four songs found on the Street Legal album which are not being performed in concert. Of these, “New Pony" is undoubtedly the worst, and possibly, the most atrocious song that he has ever written. It is performed with a blues vamp which he most likely developed on the car ride to the studio, while the lyrics are most trivial and mundane. Renaissance and economics There are reasons for Dylan’s latest renaissance. Dylan invested and lost a great deal of money in making Renaldo and Clara, and sales of Street Legal arc running well below record company expectations. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Dylan said he is touring because he feels that there is a new need to bring the music to the people, and like it or not, this new band and album captures an emerging new phase in his career.

In 1965, at the Newport Folk Festival, he performed electrically for the first time and met considerable crowd disapproval.

As a gut reaction, 1 am not sure whether or not Dylan has already made his greatest album. Recall, there was a long period before the release of Blood on the Tracks during which he was discounted by many individuals. But the jester has always managed to pull a card from his sleeve, especially when the deck seemed stacked to this record, and invariably perks Young up to do sad-song ballad things, sometimes moving, sometimes schmaltzy. Still, Nicolette Larson really makes Comes A Time a good record. Linda is a punk rocker Ah, Linda Ronstadt; how she and Peter Asher know; how to create the best records in the public’s mind; and she even sings Elvis Costello’s ’’Alison” well on Living In The U.S.A.. Picking “Alison” is a sign of Asher’s or Ronstadt’s chic moxy and sly politicking a lot of the New Wave realty lends itself to pop, so she cbuld do the Ramones’ "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker” “but I’m not gonna get too sentimental like those other sticky valentines.. Linda Ronstadt doesn’t want to be poor;'she’s a go-getter, a day and night tripper. Yeh, she works it out on this record which may be her best since Heart Like A Wheel if Karla Bonoff’s and Warren Zevon’s tunes weren’t so well rendered on "Hasten Down The Wind.” Or maybe I’m finally becoming sucked in by Asher’s slick, rock ’n’ roller demeanor. One fault with the disk may lie in Ronstadt’s elocution; where it was once distinct, it is now a bit slurred as on "White Rhythm and Blue.” Now, that slur probably isn’t as souful as Asher would wish it to be; there’s more feeling in distinction, more power in that. Slurs or not, Ronstadt is made a patriot courtesy of Chuck Berry with the single "Back In The U.S.A." And she’s a cynical prophet thanks to Warren Zevon on “Mohammed’s Radio;” a virginal princess courtesy Oscar Hammerstcjn with "When I Grow Too Old To Dream;” a female Elvis (Presley) with “Love Me Tender.” But perhaps our female hero has too many to thank; wonder if she thinks the late ‘70s, he has retained his rank in the music world as a great innovative performer.

Gabriel —continued frm • • understand a man who cries out simple blues with too many words in a line. You can’t listen casually to it and because you don’t have a choice, it might make you angry. On the surface, such stagnation by Gabriel provides just one extended vision of melodrama. No matter. When you choose to be dominated by Gabriel’s interest in abnormal psychology you hear grand stories of freaks and misfits. During "On The Air," a character treated as a nobody on the street reverts to a river cabin/make believe radio studio to soothe his needs by subjugating his foes. But it’s all in his mind. The synthesized reggae-turnedrock of “A Wonderful Day In A One-Way World” releases a sanguine feel about a fatcat capitalist’s plight when he’s locked in a supermarket, forced to choose between eternal youth or money. Then, take the forced self-improvement of “Animal Magic” and the unwanted family suicide of “Home Sweet Home” and find that Gabriel’s only perspective on the day-to-day world is through odd circumstances and odd characters: pure melodrama again, or even even when strained like Lennon on “Flotsam and Jetsam,” like live Bowie on then coolly “Perspective” emotional when dealing with touchy subjects like suicide. Musically, Gabriel is slightly pompous but slyly innovative. Pompous when he and ex-King Crimson wiz Robert Fripp produce an Ip with three synthesizers on each cut of blues and jazz electronic experiments. Where the music might be maudlin or useless, it sounds perky, though not enough to really rock. On “Indigo” the music just sort of sets back in the shadows, so composed and relaxed, it makes Gabriel sing like a neurotic; his character feels sorry for himself. — Flotsam and jetsam By continually looking at extremes, Gabriel wants to more loesn’t the iave a range in "a ii on Freaks This singer’s ideas, though they may be arcane rather than incisive, are never bland. On the electronic “Exposure,” Gabriel puts some sitar music to keyboards and an overwhelming bass to mock a rock star’s need for the limelight. The upbeat, sing-along “Animal Magic” might well have been an Elvis Costello song, were it not for the overabundance of keyboard material. When you come down to it, Peter Gabriel is more mundane than his Genesis persona, That this shift to the commonplace works to his benefit is not because his songs are models of feeling and sensitivity. It works because Gabriel’s sentiment lies subconsciously in all of us, waiting to be released, like the music of “Indigo." Gabriel isn’t afraid of glorifying baseness in his lyrics. Still, he’s wrong to think that he was human nature, even freakish human nature, down pat. What about the dreams of the everyday housewife? And what about the rest of us?

Dance touches the real by Tom Dooney Dance' at Shea's Alive and well by Ruth S. Gibian Contrary to pessimistic belief, the arts are alive and well and thriving in Buffalo. Sunday night’s performance of Dance at Shea’s was just another assurance that Buffalo is indeed not a dying city. With performances by Zodiaque Dance Company, Am-Dance Company, A Couple of Dancers, Kariamu and Company, and students of the American Academy of Ballet, Dance presented a spectacular rainbow of Buffalo’s dance talent. Zodiaque, a company composed of UB staff and students, opened the program with Omens, choreographed by Tom Ralabate to music by Alan Parsons. The dance, despite some very difficult moves, exhibited great smoothness and continuity; the use of levels and small groups working in opposition pleased the eye. Later in the program, the company danced Aubade, choreographed by L.A. Swiniuch with music by Poulence. The company’s skill was demonstrated here by excellent held balances, unusual leaps and jumps, and an overall sharpness and precision. Both the choreography and the dancers were sensitive to the music and its changes. The second group of dancers, students of the American Academy of Ballet, danced Pas de Deux, choreographed by Maris Battaglia. Although most of the performance was fluid and seemingly effortless, there were a few awkward catches and holds which broke the continuity. In the second half of the program, the students danced the Spanish Dance from Nutcracker Suite, staged by Gerald McCall, and Interplay, with choreography again by Maris Battaglia. In Interplay, Joe Cipolla’s precise moves stood out from the company, but other than that, the group offered nothing really unusual. Kariamu and Company provided that something unusual. Formerly the Buffalo Black Dance Workshop, Kariamu and Company follow the philosophy that all dance is ethnic dance, and depends on the dancers’ knowledge of their collective history and mythology. The result is energetic and invigorating. “For me," says choreographer Kariamu Welsh, “there is no art for art’s sake.” And so she weaves stories in her dances, stories of the Mozambique woman’s struggle for freedom in A Luta Continua, and of rag women walking a thin line betvyeen sanity and insanity in Gestures. The dancers moved easily and gracefully, and even as they poured their personalities and energies into their movements, they seemed relaxed. Their use of voice in Gestures was striking; there is something hauntingly dramatic about speaking during a dance performance. In a totally different style, A Couple of Dancers followed Kariamu with Solo for Two, choreographed by dancer/choreographer Daphne M.A. Finnegan, with music by Keith Jarrett from his Koln Concert. The dance had a fairy tale quality to it, slow, graceful, relaxing and utterly charming. In the second half of the program, A Couple’s piece A Suite for a Door and Sigh totally reversed the earlier work’s pretty image with an experimental edge. Choreographed by Mary Sprafka, the dance was accompanied by a sound score by Pierre Henry, which consisted of a squeaking door and sighs. In contrast with their first piece, Suite was very calculated and tense. A kind of closeness emanated from the two dancers, perhaps a result of the fact that the company is composed of only those two, but more probably because of their interaction on the When you face all the facts, there is no denying that Buffalo is one city that does not go out of its way for art. While metropolitan New Yorkers flock to any event that vaguely suggests culture, Buffalonians will stay away from theaters, from galleries, from concert halls They will stay at home, and they will stay there in droves. Western New York audiences often have to be tricked into enjoying art. Operas that might draw a small audience in Buffalo will attract a healthy-sized crowd out at Artpark, if only for the fact that Don Giovanni can be enjoyed while picnicking on the lawn. Y’know, mixing art with real fun. Or consider Mayor Griffin's remark concerning a work of sculpture that was to be erected downtown. Unappreciative of the statue’s abstract style, Griffin suggested an alternative site for the piece the bottom of Lake — Erie. This ambivalance on the part of the public has a good as well as an obvious bad effect on art in this city. In Buffalo, an artist has to work hard to build an audience. Here, one does not find quite so many culture vultures eager to descend upon every artistic opening. Artists need to remember that Buffalo audiences are seeking material which is easily accessible",To paraphrase Bertholt Brecht, "Your stage must be on the street.” Your art must be understood to be appreciated.

For this work, Kariamu has been awarded grants from the National Endowment of The Arts and The New York State Council On The Arts. Kariamu’s goals are present in the dance pieces she choreographs. In La Luta Continue (The Struggle Continues), a recent work, Kariamu praises the efforts of the Mozambique women who are on the battlefront fighting for natipnal liberation. Closer to home is the work she has entitled Gestures. Kariamu herself has described this piece as a study of the lives of ragpickers, "women who walk the thin line of sanity/insanity.” It is an extremely touching piece; in it, one recognizes many women who are encountered, yet overlooked, every day. Women who live out of shopping bags on city streets have a life, states Kariamu. Damaged by society, men, their children or mothers, or simply by the lack of money, these women have been forced to create a reality of their own. Kariamu, Yvonne James and Frances Hare perform Gestures with verve and flair. They understand and love the women with whom they are dealing in dance. Gestures will be performed next week at Harriman Library Studio, Main Street Campus, when Kariamu And Company perform on the same bill as All iversity’s ompany.

Choreographers Beverly Fletcher and Tom Ralabate used ropes in their Lines, Designs and Ropes as a visual tongue twister, with dancers catching their limbs and co-dancers in the ropes that they each had, and playing with the images they created. Finishing the evening with 4 x 8 Connection, the company continued their sharp isolations and high energy level. The audience left the theater exhilarated. Despite the beauty of the dance, the program was hindered by an erratic sound system, which often left bewildered dancers waiting on stage. At one point, the curtain rose and fell on a bare stage no dancers, no music. It was unfortunate that such a professional and enjoyable performance had to be marred by such an unprofessional sound system. - / C.A.C. at 167 Fjllmore after 7:30 pm Tickets at Squire Hall .00 — ’■v.rS/«V Non-Students !

Mott, who officially resigned Friday, shocked most of the See Editorial— P. 6 bitterly divided Executive Committee with his plan to force elections for all SA officers six months before their terms were to expire. At least four members of the Executive Committee Director of Academic Affairs Sheldon Gopstein, Director of Student Affairs Lori Pasternak, Director of Activities and Services Barry Rubin and Treasurer Fred Wawrzonek are planning to challenge Mott’s constitutional right to call for new elections before the Student-wide Judiciary (SWJ) the official student adjudicatory body. Meanwhile, all of the elected officials but Acting President Karl Schwartz, are remaining tight-lipped on their plans to run if SWJ determines Mott’s interference ,“Mott making his decision without consulting the Executive Committee members is typical of the communication problem in SA,” she continued. The issue of Pasternak’s summer stipend, which Mott has - - new elections can be held, Schwartz has said he will run for the top post. Mott has obtained a legal brfcf from SA lawyer Richard Lippes, outlining the constitutionality of his call for general elections. Mott claims the SA President Was the power to call general elections and referendums as stated in Article III Section 3.A6 of the SA Constitution. Executive Committee member Bob Sinkewicz, who lost the presidential contest to Mott last March, maintained that an elected official can leave office only through recall procedures in the SA Senate or through resignation. After the stunning announcement mid-way through the meeting,) bpstein unleashed a torrent of criticism against the stone-faced Mott, peppering the president with biting questions on his motives and policies. Uopstein, the most vocal of the Committee members outgoing Baum period,” said. Almost all SA officers agreed that, if approved by SWJ, general elections will surely split the organization and grind any progress to a halt. Pasternak, who also failed to show at the meeting, claimed the SA constitution has been manipulated and misused. “It’s amusing,” she sneered, “that the constitution has been accepted literally in some respects and not others. It is not written well; there are a lot of loose ends.” Schwartz: ‘The productivity of the organization is nil. adamantly ’ against Mott, charged that, as Mott made no attempt to ease personality clashes within SA.

The rest of the world of higher — “The Myth of Black Progress” has been named the “Best Censored Story of 1977” in a study examining important issues neglected by the mass education, meanwhile, knows he's thrown all affirmative action programs into a spiral of uncertainty. So, none too surprisingly, Allan Bakke, possibly America’s best-known freshman, started school September 25 amid the clamor of the press and the shouts of protesters. Seemingly oblivious to the questions and the demonstration, Bakke just smiled and walked briskly into the main building of the University of California-Davis medical media Citing “the failure of the media to see the problems of Blacks as an onoing story,” the Sonoma Some 40 reporters scurried after the 38 year-old from Los Altos, Ca., but were denied entrance to the classroom by the university. Bakke. who has shunned publicity since filing his “reverse discrimination” lawsuit in 1974, only told reporters, “I’m very happy to be here.” Then left to ittend his first class. After the class, a three-hour session on molecular and cellular biology, Bakke had to be helped to his waiting car by some of the extra security forces the school hired to keep Bakke’s first day peaceful. Meanwhile, demonstrators from the National Anti-Bakke Decision Coalition picketed tl>e school, shouting “Down with Bakke” and “We won’t be denied.” Nonetheless Andy Noguchi, a spokesman for the group, said he wished Bakke the man no ill, and that he was protesting the U.S. Supreme Court ruling. In June, of course, the high court ruled the Davis affirmative action program which Bakke contended had unfairly barred him from the med school because he is white was unconstitutional because it used race as the major factor in considering Bakke’s East conflict and the weather were the five top stories a number of news issues more meaningful to the public did not receive informed or extensive school.

But in a separate 5-4 decision, the court also ruled that race and disadvantaged status could be considered in admissions in order to develop a balanced student body. The furor over Bakke’s resultant arrival on campus, though, was considered more short-lived than the controversy over the court’s disposal of his case. Only one reporter greeted the first-year medical student on his second day of calss. The rest of the week he was largely ignored by both press and protesters. Bakke was, according to his classmates, greeted warmly by many students, and has been treated as just another person trying to survive med school 1. By the end of his first week, Bakke was indeed indistinguishable from his peers. On breaks he talked medicine with the students around him, and answered probing questions like “How’s it going. Big AM?” and “How far are you behind?” Dr. Willard Centerwall, a genetics professor, said the faculty isn’t giving Bakke special treatment either. “I haven’t changed my style,” Centerwall said. “And I did not prepare for these classes any differently.” Admissions decline Anatomy instructor Dr. Edward Carlson called it a “foregone conclusion” that Bakke would be treated as just another student. But Bakke’s presence had made a difference at the administrative level. UCD Medical School Dean C. John Tupper said Bakke's case is responsible for a decline in minority admissions to the school. He’s hopeful that “after the furor dies down, the number of minorities (in the med school) will continue to increase.” This year’s entering class includes 20 minority and 33 female students, the dean said, but only nine people were admitted through the affirmative action program.

MAHON CALL 6881642 10 �SA in turmoil I Treasurer refuses to pay debts by Brad Bermudez Campus CJitor Student Association (SA) Treasurer Fred Wawrzonek, despite pressure from nearly all sectors of the organization, has adamantly refused to approve payment for SA debts totalling about $9000. owes The Spectrum over $5000 in advertising charges from the past year and a half and currently owes more than $3500 to the Student Association of State University (SASU) for dues. According to Wawrzonek, SA Vice President Karl Schwartz submitted “ridiculous” numbers of ads and wasted thousand of dollars on publicity in The Spectrum. He said, “I asked The Spectrum Business Manager Bill Finkelstein if I could approve all publicity expenses and he refused. When the bills came in we didn’t have the money in the publicity SA line to pay.” Wawrzonek added that, the SASU dues were to be paid from expected windfall profits. “We never had windfall profits so I don’t know where the SASU money will come from,” he said. i The SA Executive Committee passed a resolution Thursday urging that Wawrzonek pay the debts. The Treasurer has not answered. ... No right Wawrzonek has refused to make paper budget adjustments to shift funds from other SA budget lines without the approval of the SA Finance Committee. But the committee will not exist until nine SA senators are appointed from the goverment’s three task forces. Wawrzonek claimed, “1 don’t have the right to make readjustments in budget lines. There is no budget line specifically for the payment of debts. So I have requested a specific debt line which is now subject to the approval of the finance committee.” Schwartz said Wawrzonek’s explanations are merely for the Treasurer’s “irrational” reluctance to According to Schwartz, SA has the pay the money to pay off the debts in this years budget. He said that the $5000 owed to The Spectrum could be extracted from this year’s publicity budget of $19,000 which has already been approved. Said Schwartz, “Wawrzonek is holding the money for — reasons unknown to me. This has never been done before and he has made budget adjustments without the consent of the finance committee already.” Schwartz feels Wawrzonek is abusing his power by imposing his own values on the organization. Publicity people According to Wawrzonek, paying the debt with budget would be poor accounting procedure. “1 have requested,” said Wawrzonek, “a" specific old debt budget line to make this year’s publicity it clear what the money is for.” The Spectrum's Business Manager Bill Finkelstein said that SA is legally liable for the $5000. “It is Wawrzonek’s responsibility to see that we get paid. They owe us about five percent of our total budget.” He continued, “Wawrzonek has said on several different occasions that SA could not pay the debts for reasons that have been proven false." SA owes more than $3500 in back SASU dues according to Executive Vice President of SASU Ed Rothstem. The dues were held back during the Dennis Delia administration because of Delia’.s desire to end SA*s connection with SASU. Delia appropriated part otthe $11,000 due money for use by the UB football team and to pay off old debts. The rest eventually was paid. SASU is now requenting the back dues in addition to this years fee of $ 11,900. Fire office staff Rothstein said there is little SASU can do to obtain the money except rely on the voluntary cooperation of each SUNY school. He said; “1 expect Karl (Schwartz) to pay. He’s pro-SASU and we’ve had good personal and professional relations with SA this year unlike last year.” SASU by laws call for the back dues to be paid by November 1. Schwartz fears that SASU is in jeapordy because of the belated payment. “I was told that SASU may have to fire office staff if the money is not paid soon,” Schwartz said. Executive Vice President of Sub Board Jane Baum concurred. “We just can’t decide not to pay SASU after we’ve committed ourselves to the organization,” she said. But Wawrzonek insisted that SA does not have the cash balance to pay SASU. Library budget to decay further by Harvey Shapiro Contributing Editor recently enacted state supplementary budget includes no additional acquisition-funds for the financially-strapped library The system here. The University had requested $880,000 in additional money for books and periodicals. Director of Libraries Sakitdas Roy told a gathering of student representatives Friday that he expects the Libraries purchasing power to decline another seven percent when the 1979-80 budget is passed early next year. “Students have been complaining about a lack of periodicals, but we can’t keep up the subscriptions if we are continually cut,” Roy said. 'As reported September 20 in The Spectrum, SUNY Buffalo’s acquisition money has fallen consistently short of expectations, Roy to warn of accreditation problems looming for some disciplines because of cutbacks in periodicals. Besides money shortages, the prompting the various unit heads address the problems revolving around the opening of new facilities at Amherst. Acting Lockwood Head Librarian Diane Parker mentioned that lighting has become a severe problem in the Director had new Lockwood building. “On some floors we have had to turn off lights because some substance hacf melted and burnt the carpet,” she said. Parker added that since a student could be seriously burned by the heat, she had no choice but to shut some lights off. The contractor which supplied the electrical equipment said it would take at least three months to replace all defective lights. “Until then,” Parker advised, “we’ll have to get by as best we can.” No speakers Lockwood staff has also encounted problems in clearing the building at closing time. The public address system was apparently scrapped by the contractor to cut costs. “The wiring for the PA system in in place but there ate nd speakers,” Parker said, adding that the contractor scrappiii tie project without consulting style, Libraries. “It is very difficult locating all the students in the huge building at closing .time,” Parker said. The Libraries need $6,000 to finish the job. Roy and the Unit Heads also dealth with recent complaints surfacing in The Spectrum.

The Main Street Library is housed in the old SEL building.' Contained there are most mate.rials in Math, Management, Statistics, and Computer Science. “The Library probably will exist for five to ten years,” Roy related. In answering students’ complaints about the delay in opening the Main Street facilities, Roy explained: “The President made the decision to establish the libraries in the last week of August and it took Facilities Planning until the middle of September buildings.” to ready the Hall vacated Assistant to the Director John Vasi added that there were logistical problems in opening the libraries. “We had to reassign personnel and decide which collections to move from Lockwood,” he said. “Under the circumstances 1 believe that we did a good job in opening them so early.” Roy said the Hall Library located in the Ellicott Complex is no longer under the jurisdiction of his office. “Hall is now a supervised study area,” he mentioned, “and it also has a computer terminal located there.” Roy, his aides and the student representatives were all enthusiastic about more meetings to improve the library system. Accordingly, the next session will be held in December. “Input from all students and faculty is Relcom,” Roy said Religious cults: do they deliver, or just promise? by Chris Kollwitz Staff Writer Spectrum A Wall Street executive left his $50,000 a year job, sold his penthouse apartment, and donated his entire personal assets to Reverend Sun Myong Moon to become a member of the Unification Church After one month of being a “Moonie”, the executive grew dissatisfied and requested his money be returned to him. A U.S. Circuit Court sided with Moon and denied him his money. Now, the executive pumps gas in Palo Alto, California. An Airzona retailer gave away his house, divorced his wife, and sold his business to follow Bo, a self-titled ex-salesman, in his search for a UFO god. After setting up camp in Nebraska, Bo disappeared. The retailer and more than 30 other followers waited almost a month for Bo’s return. But. the retailer was the first to stop waiting; he died from over exposure to the sub-zero degree winter. These two men are representative of one of the fastest growing con games in the United States today; the cult religion. An estimated 300,000 cultists will be joined by another 40,000 between the ages of IS and 45 this year alone. They all seek the salvation the cults promise, but almost always can’t deliver. Whitewash The tragedy of the cults begins with propoganda. A member convices a legal adult to attend an introduction to a cult meeting in a center far from the adult’s home. The adult is now in the cult’s control, both physically and mentally. Any transaction of money or property are done there to avoid any loss ofcontrol. One center operated by the Unification Church in Brookfield, New York, is an example. In its five-year history, four total nervous breakdowns, three suicide attempts, and one suicide forced police to deem the activities as “probably non-religious.” The cult’s promises of a better life are sometimes legitimate. Some have had remarkable success in curing alcoholics and drug addicts. Others have aided in the funding of hospitals and welfare centers. But, most cults exist only to line the pockets of the cult leaders. Blanket protection The Maharishi Ji, religious focus on the Divine Light Mission in Denver, Colorado, owns a $300,000 mansion on a 200-acre estate. Before he was “deifies”, he had a job as a fry cook in a truck stop. David “Moses David” Berg, founder of the Children of God, stands to gain any or all of the remainder Trom $54 million after it feeds and clothes his 150,000 world-wide followers. The money was raised by pamphlet sales and large donations. What power does a cult have to keep from being trjed for its Violations of human rights and tax evasion? The power of the first' ammendment. Cults hide behind blanket protection, claiming to perpetuate religious freedom while reaping profits from tax exemption. Law suits brought by concerned adults and friends are usually failures because the cult member is a legal adult and can’t be proven mentally deficient. The cult problem can be controlled by regulating its financial activities. Strict tax guidelines could be set to distinguish- legitimate religions and destroy financial incentive in illegitimate ones. If David Berg’s personal income was subject to the same tax criteria used on individuals and corporations, it would be drastically cut to about $25,000 about what he made as a private school teacher. Without these controls, cults will proliferate. Each year 40,000 executives, retailers and others like them will continue to make total sacrifices for the salvation they so desperately seek that religious cults can never provide. - *0 I CO �Multiple endorsements received Consumer boycott of by judicial candidate Wolfgang NFG set for January After huge profits Niagara Frontier. She is also an aspiring actress at heart and has appeared in productions for the Spotlight Players and in the annual Capitol Hill show sponsored by the local Bar by Tom Reen Staff Writer Spectrum It isn’t everyday that Democrats and Republicans agree on anything, by Tom Brandon Spectrum Staff Writer The consumer boycott of the National Fuel Gas (NFG) Company will resume 'his January according to a spokesperson for a group of anti-NFG community organizations the Citizen Alliance (CA) - - Maryann Hammond. a group organized by the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), has been battling NFG since 1977 when NFG reaped windfall profits during the winter of the "Bl.zzard of 'll". The Citizen Alliance comprised of concerned citizens and CA, - organizations, hoped that by withholding payment of gas bills, it could accomplish its goal of forcing NFG to give a rebate to each customer. Other N.Y. utilities gave consumers rebates that year as they also had extraordinarily high profits. High price* Although the boycott did not produce the desired rebates, it was successful in drawing attention to escalating gas rates and the increasing inability of many residents to pay their bills. The boycott was also successful in delaying NFG’s proposed rate hike which the company applied for immediately following the winter quarter. The issue attracted further publicity in Jantiary, 1978 v/hen one elderly woman froze to death ana an elderly man died of exposure as a result of NFG’s decision to shut off their gas. The Buffalo Common Council responded to community pressure by passing an ordinance that requires utilities to notify the Mayor 1 5 days before gas shut-offs. The Public Service Commission (PSC) has also ordered new rules and regulations regarding discontinuance of utility service, resulting in “protective services” for all handicapped and aged during the heating season, November 1—April 15. “This has always been our policy,” claimed Peter Voight, Supervisor of Public Relations for NFG. “There are no shut-offs during the heating season.” Not enough Hammond believes that the “protective services” are still not enough because they do not help low income families who cannot pay their bills. For a family receiving public aid such as Welfare .service is discontinued. “If social services guarantees paying the bill it will not he cut off,” commented Director of Public Information for the PSC Francis Rivett. Hammond is concerned with low-incpme families that are not receiving any form of aid and can’t afford rising fuel bills. In these cajes, the gas is shut off if the bill cannot be paid, and service is not resumed until the bill is paid, whenver that may be. “We get about 4 or 5 calls a day concerning this type of thing,” Hammond said. “In all situations such as these, rate hikes are felt the most.” In a recent report, a State Judge recommended to the PSC that it mandate NFG be responsible for demographic studies to determine the effect of rate increases.

Hand in hand NFC’s Voight believes the idea of an ongoing “battle” between CA and NFG is, a fallacy and that the two organizations are actually “working hand in glove” on many issues. The two groups are obviously not working “hand in glove” on the issue of rate hikes. “We are presently fighting the rate hike for the test year 1977-78,” according to Regional Director of NYP1RG Ken Sherman. The group is also fighting a connection fee that NFG wants to imposd on consumers who have their heat turned off and then permitted to charge a $19 service charge. Originally the company asked for $25, but permitted to charge a $19 service charge. Orginally the company asked for $25, but CA pressure forced the gas firm to lower the figure. “I think the fee is totally unjustified,” commented Sherman. On the brighter side of things, NFG is planning to change its rates calling ftjr flattening of the rate structure that would shift the impact of fhi hikes to large users. - INN visit THE WRITING PLACE a home away from home The University Learning Center 336 Baldy Hall Amherst Campus State University of New York at Buffalo at IF YOU WANT TO RELAX AND HAVE A GOOD TIME ■ ANACONE'S INN (A Home Away From Home) IB THE PLACE TO DO IT - Wa have no Hootin, Hollaring, Vailing.

Wear warmer clothing and layer sweater on sweater Free service « Building Energy Raters evaluate homes to increase energy saving by Joseph Middione, Jr Spectrum Staff Writer - - Despite UB’s objections Budget priorities lie with external political myriad by Harvey Shapiro Contributing kditor In mid summer the University receives a directive from SUNY Central which sets an operating budget figure to attain. This year, according to Assistant to the President Robert Wagner, Buffalo was told to shoot for a $106 million operating budget. “Although we can deviate from the target figure, we usually adhere to it in order to get SUNY support at the budget hearings," Wagner said. The 1979-1980 budget is asking for the directed $106 million, an increase of $14 million from the previous fiscal year. Following the planning of the budget request. University and SUNY officials meet with officials from the State Division of Budget (DOB) in October. “At these hearings we rationalize and explain our additions to the budget,” Wagner said. He added that the University typically asks for a ten percent increase each year, while DOB usually only raises the budget by three percent. “In the past few years that has been the pattern,” Wagner related. Most of the additional money asked for is used to cover inflationary costs. For instance, this ?year 22 percent of the request \yill go to raises in operation costs. “Since last year, the postage rates have gone up, the minimum wage was hiked and the telephone rates have risen,” Wagner said. He added that raises in books and magazines are also included in the inflationary iincrease. Seen any penguins in your house lately? Once again the chilling thought of a fierce winter is sweeping' the Buffalo area. Just one small step behind lurks the return of rising fuel costs and increased electrical bills. Building Energy Raters (BER) visit individual homes in the Buffalo community, measuring footage and counting doors, windows, unused rooms and hallways in an attempt to assess the total energy “picture" of the building. They point out key areas of heat loss, such as loose storm windows, drafty attics, and un-insulated walls, and offer suggestions to minimize the problem. Covering windows with plastic sheeting, taping unused keyholes, and turning down hot water heaters are common hints which may result in substantial energy savings. A questionnaire is administered to the home dweller to ascertain the present energy rating of the house: What kind of furnance do you have? Do you close your drapes in the late afternoon? Do you have a pet that likes to go in and out frequently? Pool resources The rating form is sent to the New York State Energy Office for analysis. The resident receives a computer printout detailing the energy rating of the home and offering specific recommendations for simple, low cost improvements to significantly reduce heat loss and increase savings. The BER evaluation could be very helpful to students, Field Supervisor Mike Szymanski noted. Many students living in off-campus housing could easily pool resources with housemates to purchase low cost energy savers, he said. Landlords present when the house is evaluated could increase awareness of possible structural, energy related problems. Students living at 101 Winspear were quite with the energy evaluation program. “It really helped a lot. Now we can start planning for winter covering windows, weatherstripping,” Susan Gray remarked. “We told our landlord and he said he’d pay for the improvements,” she happily commented. pleased — Those homes evaluated should be at least 20 years old, the Supervisor cautioned, “Many new homes have energy savers built in and it wouldn’t be worth it,” he added. In addition, those requesting evaluations should have old fuel and electric bills readily available since past records are analyzed to assess the total energy rating. If old bills are not on hand, a partial evaluation can still be performed, he said. Szymanski noted that the BER project has already attracted approximately 1000 requests for evaluations. The limit is 4000 a goal he hopes to reach by March, 1979, when the project ends. BER, a free service to Erie County residents, began in March of 1978. The project, which employs workers paid through the Comprehensive Employment Training Act, is implemented under the auspices of the New York Public Interest Research - Group. Anyone interested in having an energy evaluation performed on their home can contact the BER office at 847-1536. Groups interested in free seminar presentations on energy savings are also welcome to call the BER office. Salary increase Another 18 percent of the increase is used to cover the increases in professor’s and staff salaries. “A recent settlement with the University Union of Professors means that their salaries will rise six percent in the next year;*’ Wagner said. He added that 40 percent of the total increase asked for goes to cover inflation. “As you can see, quite a. bit of the V money is already, committed.’* Wagner related'. v the Although University lists priorities and,areas in which increases in funding ate desperatly needed, DOB, wtyich aids:, the Goyqjmor in determining a budget, lias its own priorities and perceptions. As reported in The Spectrum series on the libraries, there ate formuals for., determining a library's budget, but DOBcao choose to ignore them and set its own priorities, “While we might have our own idfeas on what is' an adequate library budget, DOB has its own perceptions on what is adequate,” Wagner explained. Assembly candidate, Wilhamsville Mayor John Sheffer, deplored the State budget process. “The University administration ought to be the one to decide the priorities and needs of the departments,” he said. “The State shoudl teil the University how much money they are getting, and then the University can put it where it’s needed most.” Politics a factor? The budget process does not end with DOB’s recommendations. The Governor, after reviewing DOB’s findings and consulting with his aides, then makes out the Executive Budget. From there, the budget is sent to the State Legislature where the Assembly and Senate can make additional amendments. The involvement of the Governor and the Legislature has led some to believe that the budget is divided on the basis of what is best politically. Sheffer, in commenting on the UB Dental School’s woes, said, “It appears that the Governor is putting money to politically attractive programs,’. President Ketter has also been on record as saying that one of the biggest problems of this University is the lack of a powerful Western New York leader in the State Senate or Assembly. And, in the past, SUNY Binghamton, where Senate Majority Leader Warren Anderson resides, and SUNY Stony Brook, where Perry Duryea resides, have fared much better than this University.

Harding, who surely should have known better, once proclaimed that "government, after all, is very simple." A mere stamping of former Student Association President Richard Mott's call for general elections as the right or the wrong thing to do will fail; just as Harding's pathetic characterization failed; and as the recent growlings from SA officials fail by allowing the drama of rhetoric and the sweetness of simplicity to substitute for a thorough analysis that respects the complexity of most problems. The consistent failings of SA cannot be explained, or justified, by the bitterly divisive atmosphere that has haunted Talbert Hall and turned SA meetings into uncivilized mockeries of governmental process. For without a complete re-thinking of its purpose and the context in which it functions, SA will continue to divide and conquer itself year in, year out. Student government, as applied here, is mostly a misnomer. SA no more governs its constituents than a FTA president rules over hers. "Consent of the governed" is belied by massive apathy and "just powers" are derived mainly from what the University Administration wants to O) — — relinquish. Without any strong support from the students and without the real power to determine their fate, SA can be only a protector of student rights, a promoter of student interests and a provider of student diversions. Unlike a bureaucracy, where tasks are prescribed on paper, or a government, where the execution of power and the need to maintain order etch duties in stone, SA must write its own tasks, define its own duties and, more to the point, remake its organization every 12 months. It is left to the members which, given general student interest, has come to mean the officers to individually and collectively define SA. Positions, desks, names on a door, even the constitution can provide no more than candy for children to fight over. The lifeblood of student government at this University is the talent, — — commitment and imagination of its officers. There is no SA until its members rush out to find it, bring ft back for observation and anaIVsis, and turn it out in the form of new programs, new pressures and new stands on issues that change with each new body of students. Positions cannot be filled in SA. They must be created with each office holder. But more importantly, SA's members must annually decide upon and continually refine a an ideology which, rather common ideology — than listing nice-sounding projects, becomes a way of thinking, an attitude about student advocacy that is reflected in specific programs and specific stands. The organization must agree upon a system for keeping order and preventing duplication amidst the rush of people defining and carrying out their tasks. If there is agreement on an ideologiy and a system to keep order, there can be disagreement only on what methods to use and what practical choices to make. And if there is an appreciation for complexity and a dedication to analysis, disagreement can be recast as debate and used as a path, rather than a barrier, to decision-making. But such a system takes special people to make it work, people who can not always be culled from the absurdities of the SA election process people who can understand and accept why others may disagree, people who can keep sight of common goals through day-to-day madness and weekly frustration, people who can sacrifice individual triumphs for collective victory and people, obviously, who can work with each other. — And so we come to the year's Student Association. Reciting its failures and detailing its conflicts seems, to us, wholly irrelevant. SA members have yet to define their organization, agree on an ideology, or structure a system to keep order. Why? Although we ourselves endorsed SA's upper echelons last March we now find that all but a few lack the talent and dedication needed to make SA anything more than a fee-disbursing organization. That SA could lay in such ruin six months after the last election (and that its constituents are barely aware of it) testifies to the immense distance between SA and students and points at one of the more crucial failings of The Spectrum in recent years. With the exception of Acting President Karl Schwartz, whose attempt at writing a new constitution bore directly on the need to completely redefine SA, the officers have almost never considered the organization wholly, universally, as the embodiment of some ideology set in this University's often hostile environment. Mott, who has removed himself from the picture, can bear much of the blame for this particular failure, but the real terror in the SA nightmare is symbolized by the total lack of commitment, imagination and insight shown by Director of Student Affairs Lori Pasternak. Pasternak, whose feats of irresponsibility are nothing short of astounding, may be the least productive student official ever to remain in an elected position for six months. Incredibly, she has been supported by a majority of the SA Executive Committee in her fight for the stipend money Mott refuses to pay her. That the Executive Committee would support who symbolizes the worst problems Pasternak and defeat Schwartz's in the organization which attempt to re-write the constitution represented the thinking that might have saved SA leaves us with no hope for Student Association as presently constituted. Richard Mott's call for general elections, born out of an atmosphere of incurable mistrust, daily tension, and childish infighting, addresses the depth of the problems in SA by wiping the slate clean, by starting over. The vision of the Student Association as a collective of dedicated student advocates with a common ideology and a critical, analytical perspective will never flourish within the warring assemblage of caustic personalities and dubious motivations SA has become. Extensive debate on whether or not Mott's move was technically legal will only obscure the desperate need for total reform. SA lawyer Richard Lippes' official brief supporting the move is good enough for us. General elections and the general rethinking we hope they will bring are a chance to finally breathe life into SA by starting all over. With the very essence of Student Association springing from the talent and dedication of its officers, we see no other chance worth taking. Put up the booths. — — - — — — Guest Opinion On UB Council Closing the curtains on Proposition 6 To the Editor. Congratulations for printing your October 6 article concerning California State Senator John Briggs’ “anti-gay” Proposition 6. I can now shorten this letter considerably. The Briggs amendment is vaguely worded, but, nevertheless, rabidly anti-homosexual. This past year the citizens of Dade County, Florida; Wichita, Kansas; St. Paul, Minnesota; and Eugene, Oregon chose .to repeal legislation protecting individuals form descrimination in housing, education and employment, arising from their sexual orientation or affectional preference. (By the way, a similar clause is before the UB College Council at this, moment, to maybe be added to this University’s non-descrimination code.) But such repeals merely removed a set of special protections from other-than-heterosexual people. The Briggs amendment goes much further: it could deprive all educators who place homosexuality in a positive light of basic rights to free speech and privacy . not to mention their jobs. 20-year-old Proposition 6 prohibits the hiring, and requires the of any California school worker who advocates, solicits, imposes, encourages, or promotes homosexual acts in any manner “. . .likely to come to the attention of other employees or students.” That means, if 1 worked in California as a teacher, teacher’s aid, school administrator, or counselor, 1 could not discuss homosexuality in ancient (or modern) Greese; nor could I have a drink/dance in a gay bar, assign books by gay authors (or about gay characters who don’t commit suicide!); or Ijave gay friends; or belong to organizations with openly gay mentibers.

(1 imagine wild scenarios of every educator accusing every other colleague of violating the Briggs restrictions. . .at a cost to the state of from S3000-$5000 per investigation!) Preposterous? Consider what happended in Healdsburg, California earlier this year. There, a 4th-grade teacher, Larry Berner, wrote a letter to the Board of Education, announcing his opposition to Proposition 6.The Board attempted to fire him unsuccessfully because Berner had never “misconducted himself” in the classroom, nor had he any arrest record for “public immorality”. Yet Berner docs happen to be gay; and so 15 parents withdrew their children from his class. The school superintendent then asked for his resignation, stating that he was a threat to the school’s funding. Fortunately, the majority of parents threatened 1o remove all their chtdren from the school should the superintendent persist. I hope Proposition 6 (as well as Proposition 7 another birght idea from Briggs, this time concerning the death penalty) will be shot down but good. Frankly, I have no great expectations huipan rights referenda do not fare well these days. That is a warning, to those of us who may not believe much in voting, of the power that a relatively few frightened people can wield.

The fact that such issues are even being discussed is ludicrous. Students here are currently treated as adults, and are expected to act as adults. Any resolution that imposes the values of a group of “prominent community and business leaders” upon University students is not only regressive but downright laughable. To make matters worse, these proposals will be voted upon and resolved without imput from dormitory students. Enacting bizarre legislation such as this without consulting the 4700 constituents involved is a major infringement upon the rights of dorm residents. We are responsible adults who do not need to be told when to go to bed or with whom or when to be quiet ar what we can or can’t do. Furthermore, we do not intend or when to be quiet or what we can’t do. Futhermore, we do not intend to abide by the whims of a few beaurucratic pinheads dictating �daymondaymonda feedback i Nl Light the lots Lebanon and Camp David To the Editor This is my third year as a dormitory resident on Main Street and I would like to say that I hope the administrative officials who I complained to last year regarding the poor lighting on this Bailey-Main parking lot realize what their apathy has caused the recent attack on a female in that exact area. I fail to understand why a spotlight system could not be set up as presently exists in the Michael-MacDonald parking lot. The tall lights now located in the Bailey-Main lot are not enough illumination on the ground between the lot and the dorms. A single footpath to the dorm is lighted but this is To the Editor Everybody is talking about the accomplishments of Camp David and the only hope of establishing peace in the Middle East. The flag of human rights is one every offical’s lips and we admire and show full respect and support for its carriers. Alas the human rights of the Lebanese people have been forgotten by the world for the past three years. Between Camp David and the hope for peace, among those who - support it now and those who do not want peace, there lies a question: “Who is with the existence of Lebanon as a free independent country where the Lebanese can have full sovereignty in their country?” As Lebanese we wait for nobody to give the first anser. Lebanon is staying forever. If shall never be a part of any country especially Syria. Lebanon shall not be the price for a Middle East settlement. For insufficient protection. I m sure the cost will be an argument against such construction but how that compare to the cost that young girl paid last week. I urge that something be done immediately to safeguard the area. S. Baynon the last four years we have paid a very high price in lives and destruction of the country because of those who wanted to solve the Arab-lsreali conflict on the expense of the Lebanese people. Lebanon will not be a homeland for the Palestinians. We fought them and their Arab and Communist allies for that. They outnumbered us very much and had free weapons and all the money of many Arab oil countries. We had only the belief in our existance and the love of our country. We defeated their hopes while the world stood watching. The Syrian army in Lebanon today is an invader, massacring civilians, shelling hospitals and burning the country trying to wipe out those who want the Syrians out forever and we want the Palestinians out too. They are both invaders. We want to live. We had enough of their barbaric and uncivilized destruction. George Faddoul Fred See on preserving the core disciplines To the Editor. I want to thank my colleague Howard Foster for his very clear and forceful letter (The Spectrum. September 29th) inviting me to press on with my discussion of Dr. Bunn’s Academic Plan and the real nature of our crisis. I had not intended my own letter to implicate the School of Management, since it did not seem fruitful for me to suggest that Arts and Letters and Management are natural enemies in the academic world, fated to snarl at one another whenever they meet: under any reasonable conditions we would simply share resources and flourish. But I had hoped to ask whether any of us in the Univfersity were being represented complexly or even adequately by our administration. In fact 1 doubt that there is any substantial academic philosophy of any orientation traditional, experimental, whatever providing any energy at all to the ramification of this campus. What I sense is that our leaders are committed more to the Division of Budget’s idea of a university than to any other one, and this is because we are so constantly told that our “academic” plan depends on their reading of our needs. Those among us charged to clarify our importance to DOB well enough to garner a sufficient level of support have not, I fear, done acceptably well in that difficult job. I concede that President Ketter’s vigor has mady some development possible in these very hard times, — — and all of us admire and respect that effort, but it seems hardly satisfactory: we remain a campus split into three parts, suffering severely from that fragmentation; we have not enough funding to provide support personnel; and we cannot supply the books we need to give our library the lateral service range it should have, let alone the depth needed to sustain important research. This is scarcely the fault of the School of Management. Nor do I think I should be taken to task for having failed to offer a solution to these ills myself, at least not because of a letter intended to describe the precise problems we face in one department and one faculty. I am not after all strictly charged to define our purpose <jr to insist upon our needs, as the President and the Vice President are. But I am a plucky fellow, and I will be glad to'answer Professor Foster’s direct questions nonetheless. In the first place our enrollment problem is not so gloomy as he says it is. The most recent summary on my desk (from Professor Wickert, Our invaluable Director of Undergraduate Studies) reports (as of 9/27) an overall average of 19.69 students per undergraduate section. We are probably slightly better than that now that the stragglers have formed into squads. This will improve as we continue our strenuous efforts to match course-offerings with demographic information and to develop new courses, and when writing and, as we hope, introduction to literature courses are restored as University requirements. In any event we are not indulging in the luxury of presiding over nearly empty classrooms. But this is not really the point, and by claiming that it is Professor Foster persists in following a definition of “university” that is to my mind secondary, not to say hoth mechanical and naughty. In fact the role of any University in the society it focusses has a complexity, and a history, wfyich a good many of our administrators are apparently unable to grasp. What we have been hearing for some time is the university-as-supermarket definition: if the customers flock in droves to buy frozen pizza, pull lamb chops off the shelf; cut back on the space given to vegetables and milk: push the frozen pizza, boys. Well, the School of Management is not frozen / pizza. I know my metaphor is excessive. I congratulate Management on its success; I burn to see every segment of our University excel in its field. But 1 confess my view that any university bears the responsibility to lead as well as to respond, indeed to lead more than to respond merely. We have, I would argue, the responsibility to nourish the core disciplines even if that means leading our tax-paying supporters and their children to a knowledge and appreciation of those studies at the heart of study and, through' them, to an understanding of the structure and values of human consciousness and community. This complexity must come first. It is It is not elitist tyranny, or muddled that word which means idealism, it is education “nourishment.” 1 believe this to be the paramount and indisputable purpose of a university. And of course it follows that I believe the mission of the primary. - Faculty of Arts and Letters to be so vitally significant that it must be furthered in every conceivable way, in spite of other, more vocational (but certainly legitimate) tastes among any generation of students. Those mUst of course have a claim on resources as well, but not when increased support of Management (say) directly weakens the illumination of the vital system of language (for instance). < But our problem is even more specific than this Our English Department was once a center of excellence in the state university system. It conceived its responsibilities to culture globally, made very significant contributions to the education of the discipline nationally and inter-nationally, and >yas one of perhaps fewer than half a dozen departments in this country which were at once innovative, influential, and stellar. It led its discipline to new knowledge and techniques. It served the profession at large in ways which are not often given to any department anywhere. As we are dismantled by an administration that does not understand the importance of this role, the influence of this University suffers, scandalously as I believe. So I must simply contract Professor Foster’s assertion that my “weighing of the various needs is even more out of balance than (I claim) Dr. Bunn’s to be.” I think the problem has become so acute and de-humanizing that we must now re-constitute our sense of ourselves as an academic community in those nonquantifiable terms which Professor Foster minimizes in his recent letterl This is quite complex enough. And I think it has become as acute as it is precisely because our priorities have been determined so much by arithmetic and so little by our sense of a coherent academic indentity. Professor Foster to the contrary, I worry about quantifiable data constantly like a terrier with a rat, ti sometime seems an<J, try to interpret them; but I am convinced above all that the importance of my discipline is far greater than Dr. Bunn’s reading of ratios suggests, and if Professor Foster were my student instead of my very worthy opponent he would learn that in my classes. And so, finally, I come to the point. It is easier for me to do so when I know that tough, honest men like Professor Foster are listening, since that convinces me that we can clarify the extent of our opposition without being permanently or personally at odds; and that we may subsequently repair whatever minor damage might be done in the course of this important aim of understanding one another. I can speak candidly and without hesitation, then, to say this: Yes, English and'all the related disciplines are of primary importance, and I would be willing partially to sacrifice other, however reluctant more peripheral segments of the University so long as our budgetary appropriations are harvested in — — such meagre measure. This is, I would be willing to do that; others in my Faculty must speak for themselves, but I suspect we must surely share this conviction. Of course I think what we do more significant than what is done in any peripheral area. How could I not? The issue of language is at stake, for that matter the issues of all formal expression and interprestation through language and art. There could not be a School of Management until there had first been a Faculty of Arts and Letters. There was not a School of Management until there had been a Faculty of Arts and Letters for some seven centuries. 1 will not list all those programs which in desperate circumstances I might have to define as peripheral to our core, for I do not want to cast the argument in terms that would surely be offensive and seem damaging to cherished colleagues working in good faith at what they kfidw is a rewarding life-work; and besides, 1 am not a Vice President, nor am like to be. But 4 will offer one example of a kind. If we had a School of Hotel Management competing with the core disciplines as they now exist on this campus I would, if I had to make the choice, sacrifice it to the development of the core disciplines. Indeed 1 would. This is not because I despise any peripheral area of study but because I believe that further reduction of resources for core from my point of view, especially of disciplines Arts and Letters will not likely make this University fundamentally deficient and inadequate. That is not, I think, the case with a reduced School of Management. It is also because I believe that our real purpose must be defined in philosophical rather than arithmetical terms. Professor Foster may disagree with what I.am about to say, but he cannot accuse me of being evasive. Support and ramify the core disciplines first of all, and make all other claims secondary to that. This is how a university becomes - - great. I hope, after all this, that Professor Foster will understand that I honor his commitment to education. I intend no disparagement of any colleague working to define or transmit knowledge and competence. I admire that more than any single thing. It is only under servere strees that any sign of fracture would be evident- in .my sense of this University or of the relative value of our places in it; As things stand now, however, I must insist: the real complexity of this problem lies in our definition of a university, not in the division of resources according to faculty-student ratios, whatever the Vice President and the Management Deanery may say. A further complexity is implied by the heedless dismantling of a major University resource, and its possible reduction to the status of a service department, in order that less central programs should expand. To my mind this reverses the logic by which a university should function, and does serious, long-lasting damage to our cultural mission. Enough! I have said that I am willing to sacrifice virtually anything to maintaining core disciplines (of which English is only one) at full strength; defined the role of English as I understand it most generally; and honored Professor Foster’s seriousness of purpose, intelligence, and decency. Who could do more? And I think I have said all that I will say in these two very long letters. I hope of course that others will make their views known and that the debate will prove effective. We have all been silent too long on these matters; now the rest of you must speak out. Fred G.

To lend a little insight to those of you who haven’t had the “priviledge" to be a part of Mott’s administration. Rich suffers from a common psychological ailment which cause the inflicted (him) to accuse others of the very faults call and inadequacies he possesses. He is the one who has been ineffective! He is the source of his own disillusionment. He is the one who has provided no leadership, n<J direction, and shown no responsibility to students. He is the one with .questionable motives. Remember it was Rich Mott and company who decided to run for election last •February hours before petition signatures were due purely on a whim of' his. Tyrannical and whimsically unilateral decision making has been a marked characteristic of Mott throughout his pitiful reign. Mott has never had any regard for formal procedure or prior precedent and, most notably, has subverted the SA Constitution on many occasions. If he had spent nearly as much time trying to make SA a strong, viable organization as he did trying to get rid of everyone (and ultimately himself), we could have been very effective. Mott’s constitutional abuses, his gross abrogation of the duties he was elected to perform, and his general ineffectiveness as president point to his resignation as a landmark in SA history but it was too good to be true. The magician jjulled one last trick out of his bag and now he wants to sinkthe whole ship. You do not give up ship, and especially you do not drag people down with you, until you have exhausted all possibilities to save it. Rich has not made ttre slightest effort to bring us together to discuss our problems and differences. Every decision Mott has made (including his latest fiasco) was formulated behind the security of the closed door in his office. Only close friends or political allies knew what was to ensue. How do you work with a peron like that? Instead of seeking constuctive input from the executive committee, Mott actively excluded certain members from the decision-making process at the outset. Rich Mott has nade a sham of the Student Association, and consequently hurt each and every one of us here at UB. We have been a victim of Nixonian politics before, this time it’s a little closer to home. I have not given up on SA as Mott has done. There’s no room for quitters here. Too much needs to be done. Sure, there are lots of problems to deal with but none are insurmountable. There is no need for new elections. Our greatest hindrance has eliminated himself. Mott, you’re gone. Good luck to you. We’re staying.

Parker School of Law and sometimes fortressed away in Amherst’s O’Brian Hall, opened its doors last weekend to 95 legal scholars interested in opening the arms of The Jurisprudence, the legal profession public to interest needs. The well publicized conference interest law attracted visitors and several big names for two days of discussion and debate on how lawyers can. and should devote themselves to non-traditional clients and causes. One direct result of the conference is that a public interest law firm, to assist those who cannot afford legal services, probably will be started in Buffalo, according to Erie County Bar Association President Charles H. Dougherty. Erie County and the University received an $18,000 grant from the American Bar Association (ABA) to host the unique conference, and were selected from 20 other local ABA chapters thus virtually committing themselves 4o take positive steps in public interest on public over 300 — law. The conference, which heard Senator Jacob Javits (Republican-New York) and many others, touched all bases from the Bar’s obligation to supply — public interest services, to non-traditional methods of assuring all Americans _of legal counsel. Dougherty commented, “The main problem is to devise a system that would allow lawyers to work at private practices and also to do “pro bono” (from the Latin phrase “pro bono publico,” for the public good) legal work.” This brought a wide array of comments from panelists ranging from Pace University Law Professor John Humbach’s suggestion that lawyers contribute “five to ten percent of their income, not time,” to public interest work, to Harvard University Law Professor Morton J. Horwitz’s startling comment that “the Bar should limit the Thomas Ehrilich said, “This will only provide minimum access.” Ehrilich urged “de-lawyering of cases that can be de-lawyered” along with increased use of arbitration, mediation, and conciliation. He stressed maintaining open access to the amount of money its members can earn.” Stephen Cillers, Senior Contributing Editor of Juris courts lor the poor in order to Doctor magazine, stressed, "the Bar has a moral obligation to encourage volunteerism and institutions that will perform public interest services.” avoid "second class Legal fees The problem of inequitable funding the long standing debate on how poor people can Meet the needs Senator Javits, author of the legislation that created the federal afford legal fees prevailed throughout the conference. R. Harcout Dodds of the Ford Legal Services Corporation (LSC) to provide legal help to the poor, said, “At this point I would like to see the federal government impose solutions to these problems.

Halpern was quick to add that, although public interest law is gathering momentum, 62 percent of 1400 lawyers surveyed in 1975 did less such unpopular clinets as the Chicago 7, Joanne Little and the Attica Brothers. Kunstler, who described most pro bono work as “stooping for a momemnt and then going back,” “declared his personalized philsophy; Each little fight is part of a war against American Civil Liberties Union clinets isolated.” on civil liberties and the individual practitioner.

"It is the challenge of individual groups to find alternative to foundation funding,” he said. Professor of Law at Stanford University Robert L. Rabin said, “Funding now defines priorities. The age of unrestricted funding is gone. It is up to the public interest lawyer to sell cases.” Rabin added that public interest law is likely to become “less of a watchdog, and more hit and run.” The two day seminar attempted to determine the direction the Bar will take in what one panelist termed, “balancing the scales of justice.” Dean of the University Law 'School Thomas H e a d r ic k,, who called the conference “superb, and exceeding my expectations,” maintained that the Law School will do its part in helping to organize a public interest firm in Buffalo. Headrick and University Law Professor Marshall J. Breger are members of a follow-up committee to the conference.

He also noted the ampitheater is a fairly long walk from the Ellicott Complex or Governor’s Residence Halls to the open air amphitheater.

Carl Jensen, the author of the study, told The Spectrum that the lack of media exposure cannot be traced to any conscious conspiracy. Jensen said the major newspapers, magazines and TV networks in — effect “censored themselves” with their “reporter inexpertise” and “lack of interest.” Five censored stories deal with scientific issues in which an uninformed public often is immediately interested, said Jensen. “The drought of newspeople skilled in technical and scientific issues who can convey complicated stories into simple language has resulted in the public’s low interest, said Jensen. For dramatic effect Molefi Asante, professor of Communications here and a specialist in television said, “Journalism is at its lowest ebb. You cannot learn anything on TV; everything is so simplified for dramatic effect.” Asante traced media oversights to the familiar profit motive. In order for newspapers to sell and news programs to soar in the rating, instantaneous stories like plane crashes and 'arsons are given most publicity, while “unexciting” ongoing social issues like the ones on the list are untouched. Jensen said his sutdy is designed mainly to “inspire alertness” in the media. But the main problem, says Jensen is getting the media to publicize his work.

Ketter replied that an opinion, written by State Attorney General Louis Lefkowitz, upholds the Council’s right to deny the student representative power to make or second any motion. Student representative to the Council Michael Pierce, has challenged this, saying a more recent law passed by the State Legislature in 1977 specifically grants the representative these powers. Pierce said that he will go to court, if necessary, if denied motioning powers at future Council meetings. » f.f. coppins Students Only SALE!

Ketter reported that Two students. That's how Optional funding of student groups is becoming increasingly popular at many campuses, much to the chagrin of the groups relying on the student fee assessments for funding. This month, the University of Colorado began implementing their optional program, and CU’s 38 campus organizations are pretty glum about the outcome. A full two-thirds of the CU student body opted to withhold its share of student group funding, and student government member Joe Melendrez figures this means the end of the line for many groups. “Student groups used to get a lot done on this campus,” said Melendrez. “Now they've gotten the axe.” The 38 groups will be vying for SI2,000 tendered by thd students choosing to pay an extra $1.60 or 1.7 percent of their total student fees. The allocation process is expected to be difficult, predicts Student Organization Committee member Vincent McOuire. “We’ll have to assign priorities, and we may end up cutting out small organizations.” SUNY Buffalo undergraduate students pay a mandatory $70 activity fee that is waived only in special instances.

Now located at 3144 Main Street, the Co-op is designed for people who want fresh and organic food products at an inexpensive price. The summer move from 3225 Main Street created publicity and helped the Co-op expand the variety of products it offers. Many a bargain is dffered at the Co-op. Mozzarella cheese at the Co-op is priced at $1.36 for three quarters of a pound, while at the Acme Supermarket on Kenmore the price is $2.19 per pound. Monterey Jack cheese is priced at $.84 per half pound at the Co-dp $.99 for the same amount at Acme,- An added advantage of Co-op cheeses is the absence of food coloring, an — unnecessary additive.

Discounts The Co-op’s low food costs are made possible through the membership fees and the voluntary staff. The building is owned by the Co-op and skilled members handle most of the repairs, making the building easy to maintain and saving on overhead costs. The Co-op was started in 1970 by UB students and members of, the University Heights community. The main advantage of membership at the Co-op is a 13 percent discount on dairy products and produce items and a 20 percent discount on all other items. Members pay a $5.00 annual fee and are also required to work fours a month. Non-members are also welcome to enjoy the regular low prices. The Co-op membership consists mainly of students but there are many housewives and senior citizens who also belong. ‘‘The friendly informal atmosphere makes being a part of the Co-op an enjoyable experience” said one Buffalo consumer.

Many businesses are simply marked by a sign on the door or outside wall stating the establishment’s name. The managers and operators who are “in it” for themselves have these problems, lack of highly trained personnel and low advertising budgets, to overcome; yet, they are negated by various advantages. One thing big companies cannot compete with is the personal interaction between the businessman and his customers. There is a certain closeness between the owners and employees, deliverymen, and, of course, customers. One woman who works at a novelty shop on Bailey Avenue said that her son, the manager, “knows practically everyone who comes in here by name.” Thus, if any hassles surface, problems could be worked out face to face, with a minimum of red tape.

This installment reviews some of the recent injuries that have befallen players at all levels of the game. The quarterback breaks from the huddle. He calls the signals, concentrating on perfect execution of the furthcoming play. He reads over the defense, players seemingly in a drugged state with just one goal in their minds and eyes to do whatever is necessary to protect the same man. The ball is snapped. The quarterback fades back to pas... and the calm air is shattered as he is suddenly blindsided. He gets up in a haze, stunned, trying to piece out exactly what has happened and more important, figure out if he's still in any shape to continue. The garbe of football is physically battering. Gang tackling, chop blocking, and spearing have all become well known terms. But the recent concern of football critics is not the tactics being used but the result of these tactics. Injuries, although admittedly a part of the game, can only be rationalized to a point. When the figures reach marks of death and decay of the human body, football as a game must be questioned. With the statistics, the.major question has ironically been, why does the game still exist? ‘ ‘ — Monday Night Thanks unparalleled turned on y games.

Hurley received several cracked ribs and was out for half the season. Are the rules forall? Quarterbacks are the primary victims of attack. The rules forbid a defender from hitting the OB after he has rehased the ball unless that defender was in the act of tackling the quarterback before the ball was thrown. The second clause sets up the quarterback for unruly punishment. And this punishment is in the very physical form of a 250 lb. defensive lineman.

On a late drive, Karwath completed four of five attempts, When the rain stopped in the middle of the fourth quarter, the ball game was held up when Griffin punter Gary Newton was injured. Frank Berrafato and Kent Keating both applied heavy pressure when Newton attempted to punt the ball away from the Buffalo 48 yard line. Unable to kick, Newton tried to run the ball, but while diving ahead for extra yardage, he was hit, and then lay motionless, face down. At the tim the injury appeared serious, but reports Sunday morning from Millard Fillmore Hospital revealed Newton was released after x-rays and tests were proven negative. Shortly afterwards, the spirit on the Canisius effort seemed to vanish. Karwath threw a high pass towards the sideline intending to hit Lloyd, but Berrafato tipped the ball and it fell right into the hands of Costanza. “I thought Frank was going to catch it and I was setting up to block fof him and then I just had the ball!” enthused Costanza. Rodriguez began to blend the passing and running plays well on the ensuing drive, utilizing Gabryel and Price for the most part.

Last Thursday, the Royals were troubled more by darkness and strong winds than by the youthful Geneseo team, as they beat the Blue Knights 7-0. Improving their record to 6-2 over the last week, UB defeated each of its cross-town rivals Canisius and Buffalo State 6-1, but was crushed by tennis power Cortland State 6-1, The Royals edged St. Bonaventure 4-3 in an exciting match. In the Bonnie event, Heidi Juhl broke a 3-3 tie by pulling out a straight set 6-3, 7-6 win in third singles. The second set went into a tiebreaker after a 6-6 deadlock, Connie Camnitz felt confident. “Heidi gets tough although in a tie-breaker,” she said. Perhaps so, but Juhl was down 4-2 (five points wins a tie-breaker) before fighting back to take three straight points from her impatient opponent, enabling UB to win the match. In both the Canisius and Buffalo State matches, the Royals took advantage inexperience. of the teams’ Geneseo, last and least, had little to offer in the way of competition. To help illustrate the point, the only set won by the Blue Knights was Marge Wangelin’s 6—4 first set victory in first singles. April Zolczer of UB took the next two sets 6-3, 7-5, by going to the net and forcing the play. Wangelin played a very steady, aggressive game, but Zolczer “just hung in there,” the coach added. Her comeback win was a good measure of how much she has improved, and may have clinched the first singles position for her, because as Camnitz pointed out, “April doesn’t lose the third set any more.”- If Zolczer has garnered first singles, then Dee Dee Fisher and Heidi Juhl are secure in second and third singles, respectively. “Dee Dee is getting her game into top form,” said Camnitz. To prove it Fisher swept Ms. Solomon 6 0. 6-0. Juhl played her usual steady, conservative tennis, and oufstroked Ms. Ridler t 6-1, 6-2. Fourth and fifth singles positions," usually a day-to-day musical chairs game, may also see 2 record some pattern of consistency. Carol Waddell (fourth singles) went right to work, as she itroked the ball well and caught her opponent out of position, earning 7—5, 6—0 decision. Meanwhile, Denise Kouriel, who platoons with Kaitee Jung at fifth singles, used her good net play and effective serve in taking a 6-1, 6-0 match from Ms, Spurling. Geneseo’s doubles teams were no match for the UB pairings; Kris Schum and Judy Wisniewski "just served and put them away at the net” at first doubles, described the coach, and won going away 6-2, 6—0. In second doubles, Linda Stidham and Lynne Kirchrnaier used the same strategy to deal the Blue Knights' Wegert-Ainsworth duo a double shutout (6-0, 6-0) loss. Buffalo’s doubles pairs are consistent winners, but the four participants have been juggled around by coach CCamnitz this season. Camnitz had revealing news about that. “It depends on the schedule, but it’s more or less fixed now,” she said. With that problem solved, Camnitz can lood forward to the Big Four Tournament (Oct. 14),in which host UB will try to repeat last year’s success. * Freshman fullback plays aggressive soccer game 5 by Mark Meltzer Sports Editor Normally, Steve Cate is a quiet man.

He - then becomes the aggressive man in coach Sal Isposilo's four fullback defense, Cate is making suprising strides in his first year at UB. His quickness and determination have become valuable assets to his team. "I’m challenging the ball when it comes down.” he says. “I’m stopping evert hing that’s coming down our defense." middle Wednesday he did that and more against a very stubborn Buffalo Stale team. With a little more than seven minutes to play in a scoreless deadlock. Cate shot from 15 feet out and scored the first goal ol his collegiate career. The Bulls played a gutsy defense for the remainder of the game and earned a 1 -0 win. “I was just hoping it would go in,” he said. “There were people all over the place.” Back in April, Steve didn’t THE STROM BREWERY COMPANY, DETROIT, MICHIGAN ® 1971 -Smith'' Soccer fullback Steve Cate 'Defense is stopping evey thing even dream of a game winning goal when he first visited UB. “1 was looking at the school academically and I figured I might as well check into the soccer program while I was up here.” Cate embarked on a rigorous four mile a day running program to prepare for the season. In preseason practice, Hsposito required each of his players to rim two miles in under twelve minutes. The test determines whether or not the athlete can endure two grueling 45 minute halves of collegiate soccer, “I guess not many guys were working out in the summer and they weren’t really in shape. I breezed through the two miles,” he said. Though he played halfback as a senior in high school, Steve is comfortable at his current position. “It’s the same position — you’re just playing defense a little noted: The new more,” he isn’t really new though. Steve was an all conference fullback during his junior year at Maine find well High School (near position Binghamton). Difficult task Soccer is fun for Steve but the enjoyment doesn’t come free. An engineering major, his school work requires a lot of application. So each night, while his friends are watching television or going to the movies, he studies. Occasionally, he allows himself a weekend to visit his girlfriend in Rochester. Asked if he thought he could succeed in the difficult task of playing soccer for four years and obtain an engineering degree, he replied noncomittaly, “Yeah, 1 think so.” Cate is very aggressive on the field, in contrast to his usually gentle nature. “I run over a lot of people. Sometimes that hurts me but most of the time it helps.” As a student though, Steve suffers from a malady that plagues many freshmen.

Student leaders have obtained at least a two-year guarantee to Squire Hall, meaning the Dental School must wait until 1^81 before even hoping to start renovation. A new home for the Dental School is thus tied closely to new student activity space at Amherst, which appears far down the priority list. by Harvey Shapiro Contributing editor Dental School officials. University Administers, and area politicians are miffed at Governor Hugh Carey's recent decision to allocate $18 million in capital funds for the fledgling dental school at SUNY Stony Brook. Citing outmoded and inadequate facilities which are imperiling the top ranked school here, University Comptroller William Baumer said, “the disturbing thing to us is that a hefty amount of capital construction funds is flowing to Stony Brook while for years the State has not given construction money to our Dental School." Carey's decision was based primarily on the recommendations of a Special Advisory Task Force on the Needs of Dental Education in New York. Established on March 30. the Committee first met on.May 2, and made its final report two days later. May 4. That report stated that Stony Brook should have a full-fledged dental school to accompany its new hospital. Stale assembly candidate, Williamsvillc Mayor John Scheffer, charged that Carey's appropriation was based on one day's work. “The Task Force met with each school for 20 minutes and then made their recommendations,'' he said. Administrative Assistant to the Task Force, Nancy Wells countered Scheffer’s claim. "On April 17, the Task Force held a planning meeting. At that time, each member received information which each of the Schools had prepared," site said. Between April 17 and May 2, the Task Force members studied the material. “The meeting with the Deans (May 2| was to clear up any questions the Task Force might have had." she explained. Ron Stein. Assistant to President Ketter. referred all inquiries on the Dental School to Director of Public Affairs James DeSantis, DeSantis clarified that the University’s official stand objects t6 the inequitable treatment given to Buffalo. State Assemblyman Jamfs Fremming (D. Amherst) said that his office has tried to secure funds to complete the Amherst Campus. “We have pushed for the money and we are committed to the Master Plan which would have the Dental School move into Squire," he said. Accordingly, Fremming said the best way to alleviate the Dental School's problems would be to press Carey to finish the Amherst Campus as soon as possible. Frerhming’s opponent in the November election. John Scheffer disagreed. “The plight of the Dental School is a classic example of State mismanagement," he said. Scheffer added that the Slate is abandoning an institution which is nationally rated among the top five, for a new, unproven school. “Stony Brook already had a dental school, and a fine one v he said. “The State scrapped it. It seems that the Governor just wanted to dump SIS million in Perry Duryea’s (Carey's opponent! backyard.” ” Money granted disagreed taht his fellow Democrat Carey was out vole-shopping in Duryea's neighborhood. “I don’t believe the Governor put the money into Stony Brook beacusc of Duryea," he said. “What happened was that followed the Task J Force’s recommendations." Fremming added that Carey did give SI. 2 million in planning money to get the Squire renovation off the ground. Despite that concession, Scheffer criticized the Task Move blocked The Task Force advised that "the facilities in the Dental School’s Farber Hall should be renovated “as soon as possible” as the University shifts to Amherst. The School is targeted to occupy Squire Hall after student groups there shift io the new campus. There is Spaces shortages into the political spotlight by Village of Williamsville Mayor John Scheffer, challenger for Amherst Assemblyman G. James Fremming’s seat. Frcmming's district includes UB’s Amherst Campus. “The stale's lack of attention to UB's needs has put the Dental School accreditation in jeopardy,” Scheffer said. One division of the Dental School has already lost its accreditation, the graduate program in Oral Surgery. The school appealed the ruling, only to have their plea denied because the necessary correction, additional space had not been made. Space to augment the cramped facilities in Farber Hall is not visibje in the near future. The Dental School is slated to take over Squire Hall when student activity space is constructed at Amherst. Planning has not even begun for activity buildings and the current occupants of Squire Hall have nowhere to go. Money to plan the renovation of Squire was included in the supplemental budget, but the work itself will take 3-5 years to complete. Faegens said. Facilities inadequate The accreditation team is now on campus, to begin to the review process. Faegens met with Dental students Wednesday to explain the accreditation procedure. i “On the basis of student enrollment, our facilities are woefully inadequate,” Feagens told The Spectrum. Most dental schools have 300-350 square feet per student, he explained. With 450 dental students enrolled here, the Dental school should have 135,000 total square feel of space. “But.” Feagens pointed out. “we have only 70.000 square feet, or 155 square feet per student.” Outside reviewers. - including the Governor’s Task Force on Dental -Continued from .

"I don't believe that a new school was needed Scheffer disagreed with the Task Force's Finding that "although the present ratio of dentist per population in New York is quite favorable, tins expansion (of Stony Brook) is justified in view of Stony Brook's specific program emphases." Scheffer said "it appears that the Task Force wanted to fulfill Stony Brook’s mission as a Health Science Center. The question is: when is the State going to fulfill UB's mission?" Dean Feagens was also dismayed at the amount of funds Stony Brook receives for its poerating budget. “One problem." he said, “is that the faculty pay scale at Stony Brook is 30 percent higher than here." Feagens added (hat although the UB School has one of the best reputations in the nation, he wonders how long the current professors will stay here with the fiscal and operational problems. "After all," he said, “we can’t hold them on reputation forever." Equipment paid for In addition to its highef pay scale,' Stony Brook students have their equipment purchased for them by the State, while UB students must buy everything out of their own pockets. “Over a four-year period that will add up to at least an extra $4000 to attend this dental school.” Feagens said. Dental students also expressed their dissatisfaction. "We lug 40 pounds of equipment per day," said senior dental.students Robert Strauss. “It is a great inconvenience.” Peahens was at a loss to explain the discrepancies “If we are ail part of the same system,” he said, “why do professors receive higher pay, and why do students get their equipment free at one institution and not another?’’ Sheffer pointed to the general disaprity between upstate and downstate funding. “We need parity between collegiate institutions across the State,” he said. “Right now we don’t have it and the Dental School is the best example.” page 1 . . Fducation. have commented critically on die School’s deficient facilities. “Internal and external reviews have indicated that we have a third of the space we should have,” Fcagens said. The reviewers also reported that the existing equipment should be replaced as soon as possible, the Dean added. “The last accredilating body, in 1972. pointed to our and equipment problems,back then.” Feagcns said. "The March review might make a serious recommendation affecting our accreditation One example of the outdated equipment is the laboratory room. Thirty lab stations must be used by all sftrdenls. Robert Strauss, a senior dental student, said, “At lunch lime, and after the clinic closes, we either double up on the equipment or wait to do the work later." Old equipment (he oldest the The lab equipment School owns “at least forty years old." according to Feagens. Unlike the modern dental equipment which is power driven, the lab equipment uses belt drive, like the old lime drills in a dentist's office.

Parker problems Campus CUitor Pierce, Proposals that would prohibit cohabitation with the opposite sex and mandate quiet hours in dormitories will be brought before the UB College Council Monday. The Council, which sets rules conduct, will discuss a resolution adopted by the Association of Council Members and College Trustees (ACMCT) last August. The Association, which includes a representative from Councils at each SUNY school, adopted its resolution urging the two restrictions without input from Housing officials or dormitory students here. The UB College Council is a board of prominent community and business leaders appointed by the SUNY Board of Trustees, The Council student includes governing student representative Michael Pierce the only member without voting privileges. Council member Phillis Kelly, UB’s representative to ACMCT, said she spoke out against the resolution at the ACMCT meeting last Tuesday in Albany. “The resolutions won’t accomplish anything good,” Kelly remarked, — “and will cause a lot of major who resolution termed the “regressive and unenforceable,” “Any said. attempt to regulate the conduct of adults in a paternalistic manner deserves to be opposed.” Pierce, calling the UB Council “alienated from the realities of what SUNY today.” is about Buffalo remarked, “They are going to have to push this shit through.” Cohabitation or visitation? University Director of Housing Madison Boyce said he heard of the the proposal “through grapevine” last spring. Boyce stressed that cohabitation is already illegal in the dorms and said mandated quiet hours are difficult to enforce. He said, “My feeling is that it is up to the residential community its own standards.” to establish There are currently two “study dorms” on campus —~Schoellkopf Hall on the Main Street Campus and a section of the Red Jacket Quad on the Amherst Campus. was an Although there overwhelming demand for housing this semester, Boyce said of the in spaces ISO available Schoelkopf, less than 75 students requested to live in the study dorm. Area Coordinator of Ellicott South Rhys Curtis added, “Students are not scrambling for the places in Red Jacket." Boyce emphasized “Legislating 4700 residential students without consulting them for responsible or someone administering the procedures is not the correct approach.” Pierce, who predicted that the Council will make its decision without outside input, quipped, “I’m willing to wage they (the Council) have a code written up to be implemented quickly at the next meeting.” - — Students may protest Main Street Area Coordinator Denise Jackson suggested that cohabitation in the dorms is an isolated problem. It is not on a large scale basis. Jackson was also against the quiet hours proposal. “Certainly individual floors have their problems,” she said, “but generally speaking, noise is not too serious a problem.” Pierce suggested bluntly. court -Hardle order Representative seeking motion rights protection by Kathleen McDonough Spectrum Staff Writer UB College Council student representative Michael Pierce said Wednesday he is prepared to obtain a court order if denied the right to make, or second motions at future Council meetings. According to Pierce, the motioning privileges of non-voting members such as the student representative are clearly protected by State Education Law - Pierce is meeting with Resident and Head Residents with along Inter-Residence Council (IRC) and Student (SA) Association officials to to the organize opposition proposed resolutions. Pierce is Advisors hoping for a large student turnout at the Council meeting, Monday at 2 p.m. in Room 567 of Capen on Spine.

At the last College Council meeting on September 11, Chairman Robert Millonzi informed Pierce that he would not be allowed to make any motions. Millonzi pointed to a 1976 opinion from State Attorney General Louis J. Lefkowitz which challenged the motioning rights of student representatives. The opinion, issued by Lefkowitz on June 14, 1976, was specifically directed at the non-voting student member of the SUNY Board of Trustees but has been extended at some SUNY units to include the motioning rights of college council representatives,. Associate SUNY Counsel Lonnie Clar later confirmed to The Spectrum that the opinion used by Millonzi was clearly outdated. An amendment passed in 1977 by the State Legislature clearly states that non-voting members: “Shall be afforded the same parliamentary privileges as are conferred upon voting members, including, but not confined to the right to make and second motions.” .

Not a puppet Instead of motioning privileges, Millonzi proposed that “student forums” be held at the close of Council meetings. He maintained that these forums would enable students to air their views to the Council. Pierce rejected the proposal saying that an “alternate suggestion” will be offered, while arguing, “They want a puppet, not a representative.” Furthermore, Pierce believes that since there is only one student allowed to sit on the Council, a motion made by that individual need not be seconded in order to act on it. “They just don’t want to hear us,” he said. If Pierce is denied motioning privileges, he will obtain a court order forcing the Council to grant him this right. Pierce does not anticipate the need for legal action, however. Acting Student Association (SA) President Karl Schwartz stated that if the need develops, SA Attorney Richard Lippes will assist Pierce in obtaining the order. Millonzi said that he was not aware of the amendment permitting a non-voting student representative to make and second motions uhtil after the September 11 meeting. Millonzi stated that he has always allowed students to speak in the past, but believes that the Council should be aware of the “problem” presented by the Attorney General’s opinion against the student’s motioning rights.

Bradford last May prior to a special meeting called to evaluate claims of disenchantment with University President Robert Ketter. Recent evidence uncovered by The Spectrum has suggested that the opinion was to be applied to the Council’s student representative Cynthia Whiting who called for a special committee of University members to be created to review the charges against Ketter. In a special College Council session on May 19, 1977, Whiting had recommended that the Council urge the SUNY Board of Trustees to move up the-official evaluation of Ketter from September 1980 to the “present.” That motion was never seconded.

Bunn, Peradotto’s superior, is hesitant about an open SCATE. “The value of public viewing of teacher evaluations is questionable," he commented, "The professor should be the first to see a critical evaluation of his teaching by the department broadly displayed evaluations,” Bunn Dean's decision DUE Dean Peradotto believes the results of the evaluations should first be sent to the individual professor. “The professor then should be able to make a decision on whether it should be sent to the departmental chairmen and/or be openly published,” Peradotto said, adding that if a teacher continually refuses to have his student evaluations published, he would risk damaging his career. The Dean pointed out that President Ketter’s Review Board already requires student evaluations before considering an individual for tenure or promotion. To add to disagreements over SCATE’s implementation, the program is snarled in money problems. Due to tight limits in SA’s budget the SCATE program was terminated three semesters ago. Who will fund and operate the program is still in doubt. Peradotto said. “For the Administration to allocate any money for teacher evaluations, SA qiust first formulate a detailed program and budget "and then submit it to the Dean of Faculties for review.

In previous years the questionnaire was lengthy and sometimes confusing causing students to lose interest. SCATE also suffered from imprecise gathering and tabulation of results. The results obtained from individual classes did not always match up with the results eventually found in SCATE books. Peradotto suggested that “A shorter more concise format would eliminate student disinterest while at the same time making tabulation much easier.” Because of SCATE’s dubious history, many individual departments have resorted to their own evaluating process. These evaluations range from a paragraph written about an English course to a multiple choice questionnaire similar to SCATE that is given in History classes. Most of the evaluations are kept on file but are not published or distributed to — Robert Card of the National Defense University, Professor Gunter Lewy of the University of Massachusetts, Professor Earl Ravenal of the Institute for Policy Studies at Washington, D.C., Professor Michael Walzer of The participants brought a wide spectrum of political views to the conference. Each of the three panels discussed a particular aspect of Vietnam. Topics ranged from the political and military objectives of the U.S., to law and morality, to the lessons of Vietnam. Time was allotted after each keynote address for rebuttal by other panelists, for roundtable discussion, and for a period of audience responses and questions. Lewy, the first main speaker and the author of a critical analysis of the war entitled America in Vietnam; based his Friday morning dissertation on professors. Executive Vice President for Student Association (SA) Karl Schwartz disagreed. “Not much, if anything, should be held back,” Schwartz said, although he admitted to a problem in protecting non-tenured teachers. “The young, new teachers naturally make a lot of mistakes,” Schwartz conceded.

Although more space and more equipment are absolutely essential to retaining the School's accreditation, we see little hope that either will be obtained in the near future, barring some miracle donation from the private sector. Once again a remorseless Hugh Carey has turned his back to an established, prestigious University in desperate need and injected life-giving capital this time $18 million into an institution still in its academic infancy SUNY Stony Brook. Carey, lamely attempting to diffuse well founded speculation that he's playing "top this one" with Republican challenger Perry Duryea, did what all gutless leaders do set up a committee to come to his conclusions and take his heat. But that's politics, election-year style, and we expect no better from the man who is most responsible for the on-going deterioration of a great University. When Carey shows up in Ouryea's Long Island shopping malls to campaign as the State's true savior, he'll no doubt point proudly to Stony Brook's rising Dental School while students here stand in line to learn on World War II era equipment. To lament the illogic of funding decisions in an election year is a little like complaining that the madman is crazy, but we still must wonder what goes on in the heads of high-powered hacks like Carey and Duryea when one of the finest Dental Schools in the nation is allowed to be brought so dose to disaster in order that Stony Brook's embryo may live. — — — — Squire Hall, considered the future home of the Dental to open for renovation until student activity space is found at Amherst. Nor should it. The once closely-knit network of student organizations has already been torn apart by the split between campuses. To relocate student groups from Squire Hall to scattered open spots at Amherst or on Main Street would further disintegrate the student body. The State appears quite firm in its stance against aiding the Dental School until the shift to Squire can be made. And the University will stand firm, we hope, on its commitment to keep Squire Hall in the student domain until a replacement is at hand. So what seems to be called for besides a new governor, a new legislature, a new Division of Budget and a new attitude toward the jewel of the SUNV system is an all out push for centralized student activity space at the Amherst Campus. Efforts to aid the Dental School through the private sector and through federal grants will have to be stepped up if accreditation is to have a chance. The Buffalo community, media and political powers ought to get together and pressure the State to appeal to reason. Assemblyman James Fremming, who so eagerly basked in the limelight of the School, is not likely — — Governor's mid-summer announcement that Amherst construction would resume, can share some of the sting from this, another slap in the face by Carey. The Dental School debacle is just the latest, and right now the most painful, rifling of the SUNYAB dream. And with the likes of Carey and Duryea to chose from this November, we promise not to hold our breath waiting for the Berkeley of the East to rise from the Amherst dust.

Basic, important facts To the Editor. As a former working news reporter and a journalism school graduate, 1 am well aware that the most important quality of any news story is accuracy. Unfortunately, I question if any of your staff believes in the value of being accurate. In particular, I refer to the recent story in The Spectrum about libraries at SUNY at Buffalo and other schools. In your page one chart you made an important distinction between state schools and private universities noting that Cornell University has 16 libraries open 24 hours per day. That fact is completely erroneous. On the Ithaca Campus only one library is open 24 hours per day (Architecture). All others close between 11 p.m. and midnight and open at varying times in the morning. On Sundays, many of the libraries open at 1 p.m,, only slightly before UB libraries. The wise and why’s I would be interested in discovering how a paper such as The Spectrum can hope to gain any credibility when you cannot even obtain basic, important facts. From now on, I for one, will read the paper through a screen of disbelief. Cathy E. Kaman Editors note: A second check with officials at Cornell revealed that teh Architecture library is the only facility open 24 hours but that students from all disciplines can and do study there all night. Our chart was designed to show only the latest hours study facilities were available. Our error then, is failing to note the expel nature of the facts. All figures in the chart were for “latest hours"including Buffalos. We did not claim that Cornell has 16 libraries open 24 hours a day, as you suggest, but we will admit to not adequately explaining the chart. of parking stickers To the tditor. were Once again Campus Security is requiring students to display parking stickers on their cars. Once again I went to Campus Security headquarters to obtain my sticker. Once again I was simply handed a sticker; no ID card or schedule card was checked, no number was recorded, no questions asked. Once again employees of Veterans Hospital, University Plaza, Burger King, etc. are also obtaining these stickers and parking in UB lots, while student vehicles are being ticketed and towed away. Once again I would like to ask that incompetent nincompoop, director of University Police Lee Griffin, why? WHY? WHY? WHY? Michael Harlh Food-fight and security: ‘1984’? To the Editor.

Retort; TKE vs. Food Service Setting the record straight: 1. True, Food Service holds the only license to sell alcoholic beverages on this campus. We are the agent necessary for the University to obtain a license in this state. As for the temporary permits that are required to sell alcohol outside of our licensed areas, Food Service has not refused to submit an application for State Liquor Authority approval for TKE or any other organization, except in cases where the group doesn’t have its act together in time, and hasn’t submitted its application to the State Liquor Authority five days prior to the party as required, 2. Food Service’s price for half-kegs of beer Check our printed price list, our selling price for a half-keg of beer is our cost from the Distributor plus a $5.00 charge per half-keg (on the first 5 half-kegs purchased) to cover the cost of ordering, receiving, catting of kegs from Food Service areas to the party site and the dispensing equipment. The only other charge is for cups and napkins, and if the group wants to save a buck they can bring their own. 3. Concerning the hiring of Food Service the State Liquor Authority and the employees University have mandated Food Service with teh responsibility of insuring compliance with SLA and University rules covering the service of alcohol in licensed areas. — - I factor To the Editor. The number of employees requied, depends on the size and location of the party. For TKE’s party at Squire, you ordered 7,000 glasses of beer. This, coupled with the size of the Fillmore Room, we felt required seven employees to provide service and safeguard out license. Secondly, Mr. Gray, if you had attended other TKE functions at Fargo, you would know that Food Service has worked with TKE to bring down the cost of labor by having your members serve beer along with Food Service employees. 4. The collecting of monies, by organizations in Squire Hall is not a Food Service Policy, but a Squire Hall house rule that was initiated as a safeguard against the theft of monies which has occurred in the past. TKE was informed that if they wished, tickets could be sold through the Squire Hall ticket office. 5. Mr. Gary, your reference to excess monies, in your letter, sounds like you planned to make a profit from the sale of alcohol. For you information Sir, it is illegal for any group to make a profit from the sale of alcohol, unless they hold a liquor license. Mr. Gary, you now have the facts. In the future I am sure you will do your homework more thoroughly before writing to the Editor right . . . This letter is in response to the article about the School of Nursing printed in The Spectrum last Monday (September 25). The article statedthat Ruth Elder, Dean of Nursing, felt that an increase of males enrolled in the nursing program would give the program more prestige. Elder was quoted as follows, “The major problems reflect problems associated with women in general. In some respects resources, etc.” Whether the Dean herself, associates certain problems with women, or believes that others do, makes no difference. The disgrace is in her identification of women as the problem with the curriculum. Her following statement came directly to the point: “1 question the influence of the prestige associated with women.” I am a female nursing student who found it very disillusioning that the executive representative of the School of Nursing belittled her academic department and her gender by implying the inferiority of women. Attributing deficiencies in the nursing program to sexual factors shows neglect of more crucial issuvs pertinent to improving the nursing program. More important. Dean Elder’s attitude sets a poor example for the female nursing students; specifically for their need to have confidence in themselves as women and as professionals. - ■ - wrong.

You can only check out a book for two weeks. This is as if it were operate this way. Question: Is The Spectrum becoming TV Guide or People magazine? Is it really necessary to fill up well over half a page with an “analysis” of Battlettar Galactica ? Apparently, when The Spectrum needs to have space filled, they ask someone within or in association with their ranks to fill x amount of columns with something. In the case of Mr. Tetewsky’s article, giving it the benefit of the doubt that it was an article. The Spectrum must have lowered its’ standards, whatever they may be, to allow that article to be printed. Mr.Tetewsky could that term is a little too not be a better plagiarist harsh, however, about half of his article looks very similar to criticisms made in the last two weeks about Galactica in the following publications: TV Guide, People, Time, Newsweek, Starlog, and Pantasy and Science Fiction magazines. Obviously the special effects would be very similar to those in Star Wars, after all, it makes the greatest of sense for Dykstra to use the techniques and styles he developed for Star Wars for Galactica Granted that the show is lack-luster in many scenes, but could Mr, Tetewsky do any better? Instead of bearing down on the shows inconsistencies, you should have Mr. Tetewsky, or anyone else who thinks of themselves as qualifies television programming analysts, write about what improvements the show needs. I would like Mr. don’t tell me anythingMmout the collection being so small that the library has to Please school library.

Wafer fluoridation and cancer To the Editor According to your issue of September 29, Ida Honorof, a consumer advocate speaking at Amherst High School on September 25, claimed that fluoridation of drinking water is another carcinogen in our nation today, the rate of highest cancer being found in cities whose water has been fluoridated the longest. This claim is based on data submitted to the 94th Congress by Drs. Burk and Yiamouyiannis (Congressional Record 121: 7172-7176, July 2 1,1 975) and subsequently revised by Yiamouyiannis and Burk (Fluoride 10: 102-103, 1977). bvidently, Ida Honorof did not bring her audience up to date by discussing the contents of an article by Dr. David Erickson, Chronic Diseases Division, Bureau of Epidemiology, Center for Disease Control, Atlanta, Georgia, which appeared in New England Journal of Medicine (298: the 1112-1116) dated May 18, 1978. This article examines mortality in 24 cities with fluoridated and 21 cities with non-flouridated water supplies in the U.S. (the first category including Buffalo, New York). The conclusion reached was that there was no evidence for a harmful effect, including cancer, of flouridation The controversy Yiamouyiannis between Drs. Burk and and the proponents of water Tetewsky to note that in the TV Guide of September 16-24, four of the nations top programming analysts put Galactica amongst one of four new shows with the greatest chance of making it through the season, and continuing on next fluoridation arises because 'the cities with and non-fluoridated water supplies are different in several characteristics that may plausibly be associated with mortality,’ i quote from Dr. brickson. Therefore, unless these differences are taken into account by the use of appropriate methodology, involving adjustment of crude death rates, comparison between mortality in the two groups of cities cannot be used to evaluate the effects of fluoridation. Dr. brickson maintains that Burk and Yiamouyiannis amd only rudimentary attempts to correct for the differences between the cities besides fluoridation. I urge your readers to study Dr. lirickson’s report and subsequent correspondence in the New Lngland Journal of Medicine (299; 666) dated September 21, 1978 and a related letter to the Hditors of Nature (272; 361-362), dated March 21, 1978 from Dr. Donald R. Taves, University of Rochester, School of Medicine and Dentistry. season. Anyways, does Mr. Tetewsky think he is Cleveland Amory or Robert Mackenzie? Or, for that matter, Rex Reed?

Staple Professor of Oral Biology Musical Bulls To the Editor. What’s this I hear about having this Musical Chairs “bullshit” on the same afternoon as a Buffalo Bulls football game. Kor your information UB is playing Canisius at 1:30 that afternoon. The game is being played at Parker field in the town of Tonawanda, only 10 minutes from either campus. If Phil Samuels (the Head Resident who’s organizing this affair) wants to do something “for UB”, let him get SA or IRC to supply busses for the game. After all, he’ll probably be the one who gets all the credit, not you poor suckers who gave up a chance to see a great game. So why don’t you students get off your asses and come on out to support your team. If you want to set a record, let 2000 people show up at a UB away game.

If the child is to develop as a healthy productive individual, this significant person will be needed until the child is eighteen years old. Once the child starts school, this person could be the school bus driver, policeman, counselor athletic director, and so on. These people are provided by society in order to insure that the child has every opportunity to develop fully. If the cost of these individuals averages out to $2.50 an hour per child, the society will invest $60 per day. $21,400 a year, and $394,200 of its resources in developing and educating each eighteen year old youth. It. j n the society as a whole, there are two children per family unit, the society will invest, in round figures, $200,000 of its resources in developing each eighteen year old. youth. Would it be considered impractical or unprofitable for society to invest an additional $6,000, or $50 per academic hour, to provide these individuals wit a tuition free education through the college level and double their mental and productive efficiency? Now, let lis look at the matter as a sound and practical business investment. The median income of an individual with an eighth grade education or less is, in round figures, $5,000 a year, a high school graduate $10,000 a year, and a college graduate $15,000 a year. If society invests $6,000 in order to provide an individual with a tuition free education through the college level, and if the individual only pays twenty per cent tax on the last $5,000 of his income, he will contribute $42,000 more in taxes during his forty-two years of productive life span than a high school graduate.

In the new SEL there are, among other excellent facilities, a good amount of individual closed door study carrolls. Most have glass front panels and therefore can be peered into, but there are also some that are totally closed off. I find the latter especially conducive to study and 1 have done a considerable amount of work there. However, on Eriday, September 29 I was told by a library wofjyer that 1 would have to leave the (farrol 1 was studying in and that they would no longer be open to the general population. The reason: they have been subjected to abuse by some students and damage has already been found in a couple of the rooms. 1 find it appalling that many students must lose out because of an inconsiderate few. The University certainly should take action against such individuals whenever possible. This school has been hampered by a lack of facilities for too long and there is no reason to tolerate those who abuse new facilities. Hopefully, the SEL will come up with a system whereby serious and responsible students can use these study rooms. I would like to add that the library worker who requested that 1 leave the study carrol was very appolegetic and courteous. I appreciate that greatly. GarvTipstein Bus stop, bus go To the Editor. I am a new student at the State University of New York at Buffalo and am amazed at the lack of consideration given to off-campus students without personal transportation by the administrators and/or organizers of the Oniversity bus service. Such students are forced to find housing within a confined perimeter around the Main Street Campus. It is a well known fact that housing is at a premium both on campus and off campus. I therefore strongly urge that the operators of the bus service arrange for three or four stops to made at various points along the Main Street Campus to Amherst Campus route, for example, near the intersection of North Bailey and (irover Cleveland, Eggert and Millersport, Sheridan and Millersport, and possibly at one or more of the apartment complexes further along Millersport. Additional stops along other routes should also be strongly considered. This will greatly alleviate the pressure for housing being concentrated around the Main Street Campus and will open up more and better living quarters for students and enable members of the community along the route to take students in. If the Town of Amherst has to be consulted this should not be allowed to rule out my proposal. As an example of a not perfect but reasonably satisfactory arrangement, I suggest that the University bus service at the State University of New York at Albany be invesitgated. A copy of the schedule is attached. Pedestrian students, including myself, greatly look forward to hearing from you. Cedle f.t/wrcnee �I (O s Guest Opinion It f Abortion clause: ‘Don’t use it’ by Robert Wise The reports in The Spectrum and the Reporter that the abortion insurance controversy is over with or non-existent smack of advocacy journalism as does the charge that the Buffalo press and television media are guilty of sensational journalism for covering the story. Anyone who knows this isuue, knows that it will not go away. These reports come off as unthinking, if not arrogant, if not both. No doubt the unthinking involves some wishful thinking, and what seems arrogant masks some unease. It is true that so far this mandatory payment has sparked no protest marches, no sit-ins, etc. But is it not possible that people just feel at a loss over how to move a Sub Board that peremptorily deides such an issue when most students have gone for the summer? They obviously don’t want to hear from us. Student officers usually do not run for office again, so who are they answerable to? Irresponsibility is common enough in there officers, but now they are dealing in death and violating conscience. You can be sure that resentment is broad and deep, and if not many of us are shouting, it is because the powers that be have apparently stopped their ears. The whole situation recalls the day when Congress shelved abolitionism with the Gag Rule forbidding debate on slavery. Old John Adams, once Presidnet and now a congressman, sent the House into paroxysms when he dared to present a petition from the slaves themselves. Now, if we were to write up a petition from the unborn. . . well, pro-abortionists don’t even like to hear that the unborn can cry or have heartbeats. But if we just listen to the imperative in us that has kept us going from the start, this is the appeal that our conscience hears: “We are the pro-chance people. This is all we ask for, our chances. We’ll take them. There is a chance that we may be placed in a foster home? We’ll take it. There is a chance that we may be deformed? We’ll take it. There is a chance that we may be poor? A chance that we may not get a good education? A chance that we may have unhappy lives? We’ll take it! We are the pro-chance people. Someday when we grow up we may consider suicide and become pro-choice people, or we may hear that I’m O.K. and you’re O.K., reject suicide and become pro-life people. But right now, we are the pro-chance people.” To those who are outraged by Sub Board’s attitude, or who just don’t think its policy is fair, to the “weary”, and yes, to the indifferent here - In response to Rosemary Warner’s letter of September 27, 1 would like to dispel a few myths about unwed mothers with a few personal experiences. I am an unmarried graduate student whose course work was interrupted by an unplanned, unwanted pregnancy. (As a matter of fact it was initiated by an unwanted intercourse!) From the outset when I first suspected I was pregnant, 1 had decided that if the pregnancy test was positive, the child would live, no matter what the consequences. University Health Service gave me the ‘good’ news and promptly asked if I needed an abortion referral. I declined the offer but was mystified by the lack of a similar offer to help me carry the child to term. Although already aware of ‘Choose Life’, 1 still had to search them out on my own. There, they offered me prenatal care, housing, and even a family in Buffalo to live with. But they offered me more than this, in the way of love and understanding. The baby’s father and paternal grandparents demanded I abort. The ‘friends’ I told demanded 1 abort. It was a personal affront to them for me to refuse to do so. To this day they are very distant with me. So there I was alone that is, until 1 told my parents, finally, a few months later. They accepted my decision to to term completely. No one condemned me. No one abandoned me. For 9 - months I went to class, had a peaceful pregnancy and a beautiful baby. Giving birth for me was easy and fulfilling. I gradually developed a loving relationship with my baby by holding and feeding her. ■FEE WAIVERS disease, raise your own efforts to pay for abortion. Have a telethon if you wish. There are enough who believe in it that you could easily enough cover the cost. As it is those knowledgable about insurance are aghast at how much of this coverage will just go into the corporate coffers. Why then make everyone pay? Because then you don’t have to make that effort to raise the money yourselves. Quite aside from the violation of conscience the policy involves, you know it will require far more cost and effort for conscientious objectors to go elsewhere for insurance than for you to have to raise your own fund for abortion. An abortion fund would require a nominal sum from each contributor. All you need is a mailbox and advertising once you’ve talked to a lawyer. But conscientious objectors will have to pay double for "alternative" insurance. You not only violate conscience, you penalize it. Brian Weiner and Jane Baum can write all they wish about our freedom to go elsewhere, but their idea of freedom is something like the idea they and others on Sub Board had of democracy when they voted for this in the middle of the summer without any prior public coverage of the issue.

FREE SUPPER & SQUARE DANCE 6 P.M. ’ Since I believe that children should be nurtured in a nuclear family with two parents and siblings I opted to put my baby up for adoption. During the interim period between birth and adoption, (which lasted two months), my daughter was cared for in a foster home. I visited her almost every oilier day and brought her home with me for about a week and a half. She was adopted by a family with two young boys who were thrilled with her. I love my daughter very much. 1 want to express this love in. a letter I am permitted to write to her. So far I have written 10 pages. I’m one quarter of the way through the first draft. Since I gave my daughter up for adoption I have gone back to my studies and have consistently done A and B work. For me life isn’t over. It’s just begun. So far the only side effects of this pregnancy have been, lux stomach muscles, enlarged breasts and an unquenchable craving to have another baby. If you read Rosemary Warner’s letter carefully you see that the moral course of action by her implications in an out of wedlock pregnancy situation, is to abort. (Since she seems to imply that both adoption and single motherhood are immoral choices') By her standards the love and sacrifices I made for my baby were a waste of lime. But her standards are wrong. Love really does count. My daughter is alive. She is loved. The other young unwed mothers I’ve met who kept their children love their children also. What they need the most is a loving attitude from society at large to help them over the emotional hurdles they face. It’s all a test of love on our part. So girls, don’t let men, the medical establishment, feminists, or any one else manipulate you into having an abortion. Pregnancy is the natural process by which the species homo sapiens reproduces itself. Clinical abortion is the unnatural process by which medical establishment enriches itself. To be sure, this is a sacrifice. But the love I havt. expended personally has returned to me and enriched me a thousand times over. I have learned to love so rriuch better.

First, it is not some synonym for laissez-faire. Second, you respect it. You do not ask others to pay for death as if it were business as usual. The doctrine of the common good cannot justify this. If you really believe that pregnancy is Sunday, Octobers, 1978 Sweethome • Choose is a word to rouse you. Recall the saying, “Where your treasure is. there also lies your heart.” One dollar of your treasure is now going to cover abortions. Is your heart going with it? Your moral approval? Is your silence the tacit consent they are saying it is? Follow your heart rather, or your sense of fairness, and let us reverse this flagrant decision. For the sake of those young heartbeats, or at least, for the sake of conscience. A petition is now being circulated by a Student Rights of Conscience Group.

On trial basis More study spaces to open up in Squire More study space will soon be available on the Main Street Campus in Squire HaD, according to Acting Director of Squire Hall Robert Henderson. Rooms in Squire containing tables, chain, and adequate lighting should be open on a trial basis by Friday. Many rooms in Squire are presently used for organization and club functions but since many often remain vacant, they will now be used for much needed study space. According to Henderson, the study space in Squire has been allocated as result of the libraries’ move to the Amherst Campus. “I’ve seen Haas Lounge and the two cafeterias very full,” Henderson said. “Some people are there to study." If the rooms are used properly they will remain open, said Henderson, adding that students will have to monitor the rooms themselves. Remaining details will be discussed at the next House Council Cite Carey's unkept promises Duryea ‘endorsed’ by NYEA over the incumbent governor The New York Educators Association (NYEA) has endorsed Republican gubernatorial candidate Perry B Duryea, Jr. over ■ incumbent Hugh Carey, citing Carey’s failure to confront and act upon serious educational problems and tax reforms. Duryea received 59.6 percent 0f a secret mail ballot conducted 400 delegates to NYEA’s most recent statewide convention. Under NYEA s constitution, a candidate msut receive at least 58 percent of the vote to get endorsed. Carey received 30 percent of the vote and 10.4 percent voted for no among some endorsement. Edwin J. Robisch, president of the 25,000-member statewide teachers union, noted that while Duryea had just gone over the 58 percent mark needed for endorsement, he out-polled Carey by two to one. Tax reforms “I think the endorsement is the result of a severe disappointment in the performance of Governor Carey,” illustrated Robisch. “Many teachers are life long Democrats, but they have seen Carey turn his back on rural and suburban school districts and they have seen him ignore campaign commitments made to teachers four years ago,” he continued. “Instead of tax reform, Carey gave us more study committees; instead of promised reform of the State’s Taylor Law, we’ve seen teachers jailed and fined,” Robisch charged. Duryea’s commitments to work for tax reform which would reduce the burden on homeowners while protecting the quality of education, Robisch noted, were a major factor in the outcome of the endorsement process. Besides Duryea, NYEA endorsed Democrat Robert Abrams for Attorney General with 75 percent of the vote and Republican Edward Regan for Comptroller with 68.8 percent of the endorsement vote. NYEA has also made endorsements in many congressional, senate and assembly races. The organization was founded in March of 1976 and represents the teaching staffs of numerous western New York school districts including the faculties of Erie Coummunity College and Niagara County Community College as well as the Buffalo Teachers Federation. meeting. r 3&* by Denise Stumpo If you have puffy eyes tomorrow morning from tonight’s partying, this may be what you need.

The answer should be interesting. Your move. Sea Level rises to high tide Fans float to the music by Eileen Lee A musical high water mark was reached at Clark Gym Saturday evening as a modest gathering of fans came to listen and cheer the music of Sea Level, When Sea Level opened their set with a song called 'Tm Ready,” one suddenly realized they were, as they proceeded with 80 fhinutes of dynamic rhythm and blues, country music and jazz. The concert, sponsored by the (JUAB, half-filled the gym with appreciative fans who were hardly disappointed as the band performed a cross-section of songs from their two previous albums Sea Level and Cats on the Coast. Emphasis, however, was placed on their latest Capricorn release On The Edge. Of their new songs, "Livin’ in a Dream” was an outstanding number, with and singer keyboardist Chuck Leavell adding some fine work on Fender Rhodes to drummer Joe English’s perfect background of tantalizing cymbals. In certain songs the vocals were alternately shared between Leavell and his fellow keyboard/horn player, Randall Bramblett. The transitions were smooth, even though the changing center of sound kept your eyes as well as your ears on edge. Sea Level kept them that way for most of the concert. The group is composed, of Leavell, bassist Lamar Williams, both previous members of the infamous Allman Brothers Band; Randall Bramblett, keyboard-horn player; Jimmy Nalls, guitarist; David Causay, rhythm guitarist; and Joe English, drummer. English proves quite an asset to the group musically, having spent the past several years recording with Paul McCartney and Wings; he adds a lively new dimension to the. group which, according to Leavell, George Weaver (English’s predecessor) couldn’t grasp. Leavell levels In another song entitled “Sneakers," Randall displayed his talent as more than a keyboardist when he took to his sax and moved solos that through surpassed the effectiveness of the guitars. Guitarists Nalls and Causay were particularly efficient in the country and blues department, however, I was ijpwwJwvwXXX T) by Ross Chapman Television is an economical medium. Other things may change, but television can always be counted on to take the path of least resistance. If a show features a big name star, TV will skimp on script and production. If snazzy production is featured, one will usually find a paucity of talent proportional to the size of the budget. Networks are not interested in producing enduring, high quality programming (except, of course, where high quality means high ratings); they are interested only in producing “anything” which will bring in advertising revenue. Thus, in television, more than in any other medium, the viewer finds he can't have his cake and eat it too. Two good examples of this are Battlestar Galactica (ABC) and Mary (CBS), both new shows this season. Battlestar seems more likely to be renewed for the next season than any new show this year. There are several reasons why I believe this. One is quite obvious; Battlestar is a well-calculated exploitation of the current science fiction mania •precipitated by Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Many TV critics and commentators have predicted that Battlestar will be shot down in the ratings war because people are tired of the science fiction hype. While the critics may be tired, I see no reason to assume that the public is similarly fatigued. 20th Century Fox re-released Star Wars this summer and it outsold all but a handful of the new summer releases which would seem to indicate continuing rather than declining interest. Furthermore, science fiction has always had a large, loyal market. It took a phenomenon like Star Wars to open the networks’ eyes. Trust me, Battlestar will ride high on the crest of the — science fiction wave, not sink in its wake. Another reason I think Battlestar will succeed is that nothing on the tube will look quite like it. The special effects of Star Wars' John Dykstra are quite amazing. Although there are some technical crudities (many of which are inherent to video), Battlestar manages to give a sense of speed, size and power I would never have expected from television. TV is, after all, just a little box in your living room. To give any sense of space beyond the box, no matter how crude, is aYi awesome technical achievement. In the battlestar itself, the ever-present roar of engines give a “ship's atmosphere” to very un-shiplike scenes. In the same way, the special effects of Battlestar are an ever-present thread which draws together the show’s less awesome elements. But more importantly, Battlestar Galactica will succeed because it follows the cardinal rules for programming success. Networks have always treated science fiction as if its exploitation was mysterious and uncertain. But this is a mistake. The secret of a successful science fiction series is no secret at all. It is the same thing which makes any series successful; the creation of an interesting universe. People go to a movie for the idiosyncratic values of that movie. People tune into a TV show week after week to see the same thihgs; characters and/or situations which they have come to like. The same holds true for Sea Level's ki irdist Chuck Leavell science fiction. People tuned into Star Trek to watch KTfk, Spock, Applying himself as he did with the Atmans McCoy, and the exploits of a federation starship called the Enterprise, and into Space 1999 to see Moonbase Alpha. People turned off The to everyone their seems have disappointed to see many of Journey and Logan's Run because they couldn’t be depended Fantastic that is, ones in contributed: “It’s an extension of upon, solos doubled Star Trek and Space 1999 created definite worlds.

Bridges, though not the phenomenon he deserves to be, is very much , a person. His soft, teddy-bear appearance and bumbling adolescent carriage belie the seminal manliness we sense is there and which we see more clearly in his roles in The Last In Somebody Killer Her Husband, Jeff Bridges is given some good lines (thanks to screenwriter Reginald Rose) and executes them beautifully. His delivery is soft, his timing precise without being mechanical. I could easily go on heaping superlatives on Bridges but let me summarize by saying that this is Jeff Bridges' film and the Film is good because it is Bridges who carries it. Better than ‘Foul Play’ Somebody Killed Her Husband is everything Foul Play would like to have been: a romantic-comedy thriller that is romantic, comic and thrilling. Unlike Foul Play, there are no albino villains popping up out of nowhere, no stale and standard chase scenes, no old women spelling “mutherfucker” in a Scrabble game, no giggly Goldie Hawn, and no Chevy Chase sell-outs. Director Lament Johnson (of Fun With Dick and Jane fame or infany) neither muzzles the gruesome impact of the corpses nor charges the atmosphere between Bridges and Majors with goopy dialogue and pandering closeups. (There is, however, some perfectly awful music composed by Alex North.) Violence is there but the fi(m retains its comic overtones Farrah 'Muff said Picture Show and King Kong. The end result is a character who is charming without being cute, male without being macho. Farrah-Fawcett, on the other hand, may be a phenomenon but she’s not a person. The woman’s a collection of dots, whether they be dots of ink on a poster or electronic dots on a TV screen. She has no personal appeal because she’s an abstraction, a distillation of good looks. She’s appearance without presence. And it is thjs manufactured image through the reactions of Bridges. Somebody Killed Her Husband has Bridges and Majors as lovers who become primse suspects in the murder of Majors' husband. Realizing that the police will never believe their innocence, they hide the body and "attempt to solve the murder themselves. In the process, they discover some diamonds which become the motivation for a number of murders. But, in keeping with the film's persistent comic insight, Bridges conceals the diamonds in the stuffing of Harvey Chortle, the Talking Bear, a wind-up toy that says things like “Rubby my tummy; it’s fuzzy-wuzzy.” The murderer, when he finally makes his appearance, makes it in the Santa-land of Macy’s department store. And it goes on like that. Really funny. , Somebody Killed Her Husband is by no means an important film but then that hardly matters. Genesee 892 2300 The Buddy Holly Story 8:15 Nightly Despite Farr ah, 'Somebody' entertains which is the object of Jeff Bridges' infatuation. Her only purpose in the film is as an explanation for the reaction in his fact and only there does she achieve an affectual existence.

Chronicled through the eyes of a single Russian soldier, whose terrible fate, like that of so many of his fellow comrades in arms, was forced exile to the Siberian Gulag at the hands of Stalin; this song literally blew my mind with its powerful war imagery of blazing tanks, dauntless Russian partisans, and final note of resigned despair, all overlayed by a relentless guitar rhythm evocative of the vast central Asian steppe. When it ended I sat up in my bed waiting impatiently for the DJ to read out the playlist of preceeding cuts so I could find out who the brilliant artist could possibly be. “That was ‘Roads to Moscow,’ a track from the new Al Stewart album, Past, Present and Future," he announced after a long pause. With my initial reaction of “Who the hell is Al Stewart?”, I resolved to find this record even if it would be the only thing I would do the following day. The album essentially a series of historical vignettes of the twentieth century, was nothing less than incredible. Since Past, Present and Future, At Stewart has released three albums: Modern Times-, the remarkably successful Year of the Cot; and his latest, Time Passages. Year of the Cat not only went platinum, but spawned a top 40 single of its title cut, which for many Buffalonians brin£ back shivering memories of the Blizzard of 'll, a time when this mellifluous song shot to the top of the charts. The popular success of Year of the Cat owed much to the superlative production talents of Alan Parsons. It was Parson's suggestion to add the ringing alto sax in the title cut which did so much to complement Peter White’s screaming guitar lead. Parsons also produced Time Passages, hence one is predisposed to view this latest release as a follow up on the proven formula of Year of the Cat, though it differs stylistically in * See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil promote no evil. Except when you’re in the record company business, where, as one PR man put it, "They’ll think of any and all ways to promote an idea to you.” Buttons, pins, postcards, memo pads, jigsaw mobiles, posters, each and every one a graphic representation of the madness to the methods of the record industry; madness considering that the awareness level of the promotee is minimal and usually extraneous. Yet these toys in the attics of the business Whiz Kids lend themselves to a strictly subliminal approach for now, that of hitting the direct links of the music industry (writers and DJs, for example) instead of the masses. As for the majority of music consumers, album design has been the way: strong in concept, intricate in detail, and sexually hot and heavy. A look at mass media in general leaves little suspicion about the promoters’ obsession to sell their products via sex, i.e., sit-sex on television, commercial subliminal seduction, or, in one isolated case, the selling of Jacqueline Bisset’s Secrets. Obsession indeed. For some groups, the sexual innuendo is not a passing phase but rather, a highly consistent and insistent theme; there has never been a Roxy Music cover devoid of siren-esque women sprawled in wet fern or moss; or an Ohio Players endeavor that failed to expose the latest in erotica: Black satiny women, taunting horses with apples, or bald-headed females all flashing lots and lots of dripping in honey flesh. Still others are not quite as obvious; Juicy Lucy which shows a corpulent woman wallowing among watermelons, guaranteed to make your salivary glands flow; Boxer’s Below the Belt which poses a cartwheeling nymph with a boxing glove striking yep, you guessed it below the belt. puzzles, - - - The point is painfully obvious, or so it should seem. We’re all performing in a society that has shaped sex, throughout the years, into something taboo and then turns around and tantalizes its members with it. Record promoters, promoters over all for that matter, have developed into masters of the psychology of what sells and how. And for the “near future," sex is the rave. Flipping through stacks of new releases in the local record store usually throws repeated visual images to the eye at a rapid pace, much like the frames of motion pictures. If you consider the theory of subliminal seduction, whereby intermittent frames flash ideas contrary to the thought process, what you find is a parade of extremely attractive women with ice cream cones, popsicles, cucumbers, bananas, and presenting the social comments of Pump Iron, Climax, The Wetter the Better while posing the ever-popular musical question, Are You Ready? Most times, with the exception of disco music (a dangerous theory although disco music is purely physical and nine out of ten times is packaged as such), the images of the cover art never coincide with the styles of, or meanings conveyed by, the music inside. And for anyone who finds the notion of subliminal seduction absurd, take one long close look at the cover of Emerson, Lake and Palmer's Brain Salad Surgery, gather some insight into the slang of the language (Brain Salad Surgery, also referred to in Dr. john's "Must Have Been the Right Place,” meaning fellatio) and then you tell me what musical ideas are justified by the meeting of pursed lips and an obvious phallic symbol. The intention of sexual cover designs is blatant: to sell albums. It is sexist, successful, and ever-increasing, liberated by this country's notions of an on-going sexual revolution. But with the increase of sexual advertising advancing the revenues of products that may not deserve it, who is actually revolting from whom? —Tim Switala many respects. Like his previous records, several cuts on Time Passages draw their inspiration.from history. Sir Thomas Moore, the great humanist and beloved chancellor to the early sixteenth century English monarch Nenry VIII, is the subject of “A Man for All Seasons." Stewart portrays the terrible anguish of this man, whose stubborn refusal to accept Henry's divorce from Catherine of Aragon and subsequent break with the Church of Rome led to his imprisonment in the Tower of London and eventual execution. “The Palace of Versailles” coalesces the imagery of the French Revolution and the student riots in Paris in 1968. Stewart wonders why time "echoes through the lonely palace of Versailles,” as the ghost of revolution still prowls the Paris streets. And "Life in Dark Water” portrays a lonely soul stranded at the bottom of the sea in a nuclear submarine whose entire crew, save himself, have perished. With the sub’s life support systems still functional and a five hundred years supply of food left to sustain him, he bemoans: Next to NOW YOU SEE IT... airplay, album covar art is tha major determining factor in what tails : albums. And with the sexual revolution influencing much of the cover design today, one might say these covers are revolting. Is tha next step parental guidance? let planes nose through the clouds above me They look for radar traces of me to see They'll never know, never, no, never, How strange life in dark water can be. This last song with its prominent alto sax backdrop and the title are very “Year of ttie Cattish.” But many of the other cuts harken back to Stewart’s earlier material. There is some superb musicianship by guitarists Tim Renwick and Peter White, and Phil Kenzie’s alto sax is highly effective. As with his previous ventures, Stewart almost exclusively employs his own material on this album. He confines his musicianship howeVer, to playing acoustic guitar. In the past, Stewart has attracted Some famous top-notch musicians for his LPs, a list that includes Rick Wakeman, Phil Collins, Roger Taylor and Robert Fripp. As sophisticated and highly literate as Stewart is, it is remarkable that he has been able to attract a popular following. However, Stewart believes that there has always “been va market for lyrically oriented music.” There is always the danger now, through mass acceptance, that Stewart will compromise his sophistication in order to reach a larger audience; i.e., sell out. Indeed, it’s true that Stewart has really made it but it hasn’t been at the expense of “selling out” as his current LP, Time Passages, and his previous Year of the Cat, testify. —Rob Cohen cut . — Album art consists Aubrey Powell, Storm Thorgerson and Peter Christopherson. Powell and Thorgerson originally went to silm school and acquired a studio in London in 1970. Christopherson joined the two after leaving SUN Y at Buffalo in 1974. Their first sleeve was for Pink Floyd, who are still steady clients. The art studio built up their reputation and supplied their services to Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, Genesis, 10 CC and Renaissance. Close of —continued from page 11— associates of Hipgnosis are the talented pair of George Hardie (graphics of Dark S>de of the Moon) and Colin Elgie (illustrator of Year of the Cat). The newest Hipgnosis cover on the market is Al Stewart’s Time Passages. . People noted for their quality cover photographs, pictorials and distinct trademarks include Norman Seeff (Joni Mitchell, Eric Carmen,.ELO, Bee Gees), David Alexander (Linda Ronstadt, Eagles, David Gates, James Taylor), Joel Bernstein (CSN, Neil Young, Jackson Browne) and Moshe Brokha (Boz Scaggs, Richie Havens, Walter Egan). Probably the most reputable company cover designer is CBS’s John Berg. Known primarily for his work with Nick Fasciano’s logo for Chicago, Berg has formulated superb layouts for Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Billy Joel, and Blue Oyster Cult. Music, like everything else, is a business. Cutting away the agent’s fee, artist’s royalty, shipping charges, production costs, and miscellaneous fees, there is still a substantial chunk of money left for those designing the pretty pictures and paintings. Any act worth their lucrative recording contract is going to have a good wad of money sunk into cover design and sleeve production. Next week: How covers are made. �Perversity' This viewer left cold RECORDS Chuck Mangiorw,'Children of Sanchez (A&M) "This is not a typical soundtrack album " by Leila ). Quarles the need for delicious delights in Profanity, tits and ass sexual involvements was the essence of the play Sexual Perversity in Chicago, on stage at the Tralfamadore Cafe and directed by Tom Dooncy. Two urbane white men in their late twenties who work together talk with fervor and ardor over the need to attract those beautiful beings called women. Paul Kawalec plays the part of Danny. Danny's character depicts the energetic male who is willing and ready to give the women what they need when they need it. Danny's co-worker Ramone, played by Bernarde Litko, is a bit more subtle and reserved when expressing his desires for those beautiful Chicago women who make his mouth water, Vicki Harris and Joanne Loomer play the part of the two women, who, like their male counterparts, arc urbane, white and in their late twenties. Debra, played by Joanne Loomer, is frustrated, tense and unable to cope with the complexities of Chicago men. Joan, played by Vicki Harris, tries to explain to Debra that men are all basically alike, however, they are beautiful specimens to behold. The setting was simple and moveable —' a couple of chairs, a lectern, and the actors. Each character moved briskly off and on stage as they spoke of their individual sexual difficulties. Obscene dialogue and abstract direction left the viewer confused as to what is the nature of modern day sexuality. A question is left in mind as to what is perversity. Is perversity the act of human intimate interaction or vocal sexual interaction? Although the dialogue in the play was sexual and what one may call perverse, the action was moderate, omitting the closeness of human touching. Although each character repeatedly exhibited his/her sexual needs, I felt misled by the play's direction. Sexual Perversity in Chicago is a misleading title for a play whose characters never acted but only talked. — — Opera at Shea's Puccini's Tosca' Renovated theater showcases tragedy by Steve Bartz So there I was, a classical music reviewer who had never seen an opera before. Well, I chose a good one to start with, as the Opera Theater of Syracuse and members of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra presented Puccini’s Tosco last Friday and Saturday at the newly renovated Shea’s Buffalo Theater. Shea's provided a beautiful showcase for the Italian composer’s most famous opera. The gilded mirrors and marble floors of the lobby, and the refurbishing of woodwork and carpeting throughout the theater, lent an air of tradition and elegance to the production. Unfortunately, not alt of the Shea’s plush new seats had been installed, forcing some of the audience to sit in folding chairs. Tosco's main characters are Floria Tosca, a famous opera singer; the painter, Cavaradossi; the iniquitous chief of police, Baron Scarpia; and Angelotti, and escaped political prisoner. Using the political and national conflicts within Rome in the year 1900, Puccini spins a tale of love, murder and suicide around the subtle, then suddenly brazen, tones of his musical scores. Cavaradossi, in attempting to aid the fleeing Angelotti, is entrapped in a web woven by the Roman police commander, Scarpia. In trying to save her lover from torture, Tosca accepts a proposal from Scarpia to prostitute herself in exchange for Cavaradossi's freedom. But after Scarpia arranges a mock execution which will allow the artist to escape unharmed, Tosca kills him. fn the end, though, the soldiers carrying Cavaradosst’s out "mock" execution fire real bullets; and as Scarpia’s corpse is discovered, Tosca jumps to her death/Rich vocal techniques The combination of Puccini’s instrumental genius and the rich voices of the Opera Theater of Syracuse proved to be thoroughly enjoyable. Lorna Flaywood, as Tosca, and Alan Crabb, playing Cavaradossi, were superb in their vocal techniques and dramatics. Miss Flaywood’s clear, strong soprano voice was skillfully used to produce a well-done, yet not overdone character portrayal. Crabb’s voice was the most appreciated of the evening, for he projected both soft notes and louder melodies as if he were holding a microphone in his hand. Dan Sullivan, as Baron Scarpia, sang a strong, moving part; and Randolph Messing as Angelotti was adequate. But Bruce Ball’s voice was simply not powerful or rounded enough to overcome Shea’s acoustics and make Spoletta, Scarpia's right-hand man, a believable character, and Flat C. Thomas, portraying the sacristan (a church priest), was too roly-poly and weak-voiced to make his part anything more than a visual gag. The members of the Philharmonic who made up the opera orchestra certainly deserved the audience’s cheers. Clarinetist Jim Pyne especially shone in bringing the score to life. The orchestra’s only fault was a tendency to drown out the singers, a problem which could have easily been corrected by a more conservative use of the baton by conductor David Alger. All in all, my night at the opera proved to be engaging and entertaining. And I know I’m going back. Mangione This record is frustrating. A new record by Chuck Mangione conjurs hope that perhaps he has seen enough of the middle of the road. Just maybe Mangione is secure enough now to move on to something new, something we haven’t already heard before, too many times. But this record is frustrating. Mangione, a trumpet/flugelhorn player who, in the past, has proven that he is at least capable of a bright and creative style, has found a niche. The top 40 success of singles from his last album, Feds So Good, place him squarely within the listening/buying range of the public at large. Success. Children Of Sanchez is a soundtrack of music written for the new Hall Bartlett film of the same name, based upon the anthrobiography by Oscar Lewis. Mangione alerts us on the album jacket: “Writing and recording this music was one of the most intense emotional experiences of my life. I consider it to be some of the strongest music that’s ever come from within me and I’m grateful the music is preserved in this album so that I might share it with you.’’ This last begs a satiric jibe, but I’ll leave it unspoken. The question remains, where is the emotional content? Was the experience of recording this music intense because (as Mangione again informs us during his inner sleeve notes) hf and the boys were up day and night to produce 23!4 hours of music in the ... Stanley Turrentine, Jubilee Shoo. (Blue Note); What About You! (Fantasy) The “Crossover" movement. It’s a brand of ja*/-funk-soul, performed by many jaaz musicians, which has reached predominance in the late seventies. A true leader of the style has been Mister T. Stanley Turrentine. Since KTs move to Fantasy records, Turrentine has manipulated lavish string sections, seductive background vocals and the disco beat to his economic advantage. His albums for the Fantasy label have achieved the commercial success many musicians would like to attain, and What ' About YouP should help continue his popularity surge. Although his musical environment has changed greatly over the last fifteen or so years, Turrentinc’s vibrant saxaphonc has retained its swinging style. Stanley first started playing the tenor sax in 1947 at the age of thirteen. Coming from a musical family, he claims his father as his greatest influence. At seventeen hd traveled with Lowell Fullson’s blues band, along with Ray Charles. From there he did a stint with Tadd Dameron and then Earl Bosties. After the Army, in 1959, Turrentinc joined jazz great Max Roach’s group, along with his trumpet-wielding brother Tommy. In 1960, he cut two albums for Prestige records before moving to the Blue Note label as a leader. From those years come two previously unreleased sessions on the Blue Note Jazz Classic Scries entitled /ubilee Shout. Featuring brother Tommy and guitarist Kenny Burrell, it is a two record set of straight ahead jazz. Turrenline’s raucous sax bounces, bops and swings on such fast paced Tommy numbers as Turrcntine’s "Thomasville,” "Stolen Sweets,” and Stanley’s own "Cotton Walk.” In a mellow tone, there is the Freddie Hubbard, SuperBlue (Columbia) Catsplay. This is a renowned master who grew in bold, sassy brass with Oliver Nelson, John Coltrane, and went Out To Lunch with Eric Dolphy as the Music continued to grow throughout the 60’s. Freddie Hubbard, thru an impeccably fine series of Blue Note recordings (w/Dolphy, Sam Rivers, Wayne Shorter, Andrew Hill and more), established himself as an artist with a horn that could burn like Clifford Brown, scream like Fats Navarro, smooth lava like Booker Little, and conduct himself in terms of old bop or new wave stomp (alt the real water). With CTI, he further showed the soulful roots in his overall approach. Blood shaping Red day, or so some may say. Now, after becoming dissatisfied with his vital role fading into the image of an overproduced disco star over the last few years, the Hub has been making (or shall we say redefining) a strong stand for the Music. The second V.S.O.P. LP (the Hancock revival) was a revelation, and Bobby Hutcherson’s Knucklebeon featured Hubbard and the rainmaster vibist rekindling the deep Black Magic that made Blue Note the vanguard of Jazz labels. SuperBlue is resonant in the wizardry of Hubbard’s strong Identity. three weeks they were allotted? The album is a soundtrack, though, and as such is different than a record produced for its own sake. Mangionc has written music based specifically on the events of the film. His Latin background and preference for Latin motifs make his music suitable for a peculiarly Latin film. ( Children of Sanchez is the story of the struggles and hardships of a Mexican-Amcrican immigrant family.) There arc no surprises on these two records howeever. Children Of Sanchez if anything is a step backwards to a sound that predates Feels So Good. Mangionc’s band now is a polished unit which, in the process of cleaning up its already somewhat glossy act, has lost that which made the music interesting and exciting. The packaging of this record indicates that it is an exhibit of Mangionc extravagance. In keeping with his image as a kind of "little boy trumpeter," the album is lined with pictures (also becoming too familiar) of Mangionc cuddling his horn, eyes closed, vyith a shit-eating grin across his face. The whole deal appears indulgent, and, well . . dull. There are bright moments when Mangionc stretches out and appears to be hovering around that intensity and emotion he claims this music to be providing him, but these arc too few and far between. Other solo duties, shared by reedman Chris Vadala and trumpet/flugelhorn player Jeff Tkazyik are similarly firmly grounded to the middle of the ~-*ci road. Children Of Sanchez is not a typical soundtrack album. No. Nor is it memorable. —Harry Weinberg. . . Gershwin brothers' "Someone To Watch Over Me" and "My Ship.” Both demonstrate how this powerful reed man can calm the spirit with his drawn out notes followed by short, quick, scale squirmishes. On What About You! Turrentihc shows no sign of having lost his vibracious sound. However, the format he works with is at the other end of the musical spectrum. Not one song escapes the whining wrath of the string section. An exemplary cut is “Disco Dancing.” “Disco dancing and sweet romancing with you,” provide the alternate choruses to Turrentine's funky tenor. His solos are attractive and elongated but the monotony of the rhythm section negates any positive attributes of the sax. It is interesting to note that Turrentinc has no original tunes on the self-produced What About You! whereas jubilee Shouts includes three Turrentinc tracks. Also the musicians on the Fantasy record do not trade any licks with Turrrentinc. One of jubilee Shouts' strong points is this interaction between the session men. Every participant’s energy and creativity abound throughout the early album. What About You! seems to have a mechanical air about it; Turrentinc spreads his wings but the other musicians seem to go about thofr business with little apparent emotion. Keyboardist Richie Rome, who arranged and conducted What About You! was the man behind the recent international disco success of the Ritchc Family and he is obviously employing the same formula with Turrentinc. Yes, the outstanding sax that carries jubilee Shouts persists throughout What About You!, and I imagine it will do well on the market, but success at what price? -Peter Gordon The title tune is a mean bump stepper grinding with the bow of Ron Carter and the windy moisture generated by drummer Jack Dejohnette. For a change, check the fine wind-chambered flute of Hubert Laws blowing to the currents of the ja/za’een (the natural rewards, my dear). For rhythm dance that steps and don’t stomp itself out,,get next to this. "To Her Ladyship” is a boudoir velvet piece showing the Hub at his most intimate. George Benson guests on this cut to ripple some of his natural guitar, full blowin' and no breezes. Sweet and smoking! “Take It To The Ozone” shows Kenny Barron's piano dancing high style with vivid color, as the Hub takes the fire into the clouds. Joe Henderson's tenor is the singing storm, full of prqmise. Try “The Gospel Truth” and "The Surest Things Can Change,” played by Hubbard with lyric buoyancy and a mixed sense of irony and anticipation. Laws lays some testament down here. “Theme. For Kareem” is a fast romper bringing all the elements of this LP together with firery Hubbard vengeance. This is the blood come to seriously play, and not play around (Speaking of which, I hear Hubbard comes to Shea’s Buffalo October 20). A sky blue cry and not a wasted sigh. Catsprowl. -Michael F.

Ellicolt! Sight-seein' bus!” A bus driver's famous campus cry is picked up by the howling wind at Flint Loop and lining hurled at the awaiting herd of students. Meanwhile in the dimness of the Ellicott service roads, students wait for the two lights at, the end of the tunpel and the smiling face behind the wheel. Blue Bird .bus drivers daily shepherds of the student Hock must use their imagination and wit to enliven a rather monotonous and often aggravating job. And though this splintered University couldn’t function without them, the Blue Bird pilots don't lake themselves, or the student passengers, too seriously. Nick DeMaria, a Blue Bird driver for two years, is one such person. He finds working at UB a unique experience. A mastery of ten languages he says is necessary to communicate with his passengers. Not only must he interpret the languages of other nations, but he must sort out the “slang” language of college students as well. Bernie Bremer, another driver, agreed, flatly stating that working UB is the “strangest" experience he’s had during his career. — AN ACCLAIMED GROUP OF COLLEGE STUDENTS FROM TAIWAN. THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA WILL PERFORM TRADITIONAL CHINESE dancing music kung-fu opera juggling short play and other acts. 1 quirks of automobile drivers on Millersport Highway, as shown above, make the safe transportation of students a real challenge. Though — NIGHT m BLUEBIRD DRIVERS' ROOST: The Sing along Monotony would seem to threaten at every corner at a driver's endless runs. But boredom appears to be handled well. To avoid tedium, most drivers depend on their trusty AM radio. DeMaria perks himself up by singing along with it (or against it) he can sometimes be heard singing tunes quite different than those on the air. Several women drivers also like to sing along with the radio. One woman driver, though, will turn on her soap operas' soundtracks when she tires of AMThe radio is not always enough to break up the monotony of the drivers’ respective runs. Bremer claims that in times of severe boredom he likes to play games with cars, such as “Don’t get in my way!” He recalled being hypnotized by the road during a long haul and jockeying for position with other cars to keep himself awake. DeMaria, a jovial man. will begin to joke with his co-workers over the CB when the music fails to add spice to the job. There are times when he will yell out the window to a driver in an adjacent bus: “Do ya wanna drag?” Buses pre only geared to go 40 miles per hour, DeMaria assured a reporter. There isn’t much to race with. - Keeping young Conversing with the students also alleviates boredom. DeMaria enjoys talking to the passengers during his run because “all the gorgeous dolls are on it." The 64-year old, gray haired bus jockey said, “Being around young people keeps you young." The drivers try to remain alert, but the hypnotic effect of the road inevitably leads to daydreaming. DeMaria. lor example, looks forward to his forthcoming retirement, effective November 1. He dreams of “taking a gorgeous doll to Florida and then on a Caribbean cruise." One of his passengers? No this “doll" is his wife of 35 years. Although most drivers will confess to periodic boredom, one driver (well known to most UB students) doesn’t want to hear the word. Students are so individually different that each is a separate cure for monotony, Naomi apparently feels. Both Bernie Bremer and Naomi are career bus drivers. Bremer, a tour bus operator, accepted his job here after the summer tours ended. He called the bus driving world “dog-eat-dog,” lamenting that a driver is often forced to “take anything he can get." But he loves driving, mainly because he gets to see a lot of the country. He thrives on the road and has no plans to leave it. 1 'Glories of nature’ In her tenth year here, Naomi worked for Buffalo’s Metro bus line before coming to UB. Though she too enjoys the outdoors, her major reason for working here so long is her love for young people. “I’ll miss the students,” she said, reflecting on her retirement now one and one-half years away. DeMaria also loves working in a student environment. He, like Bremer and Naomi, sings the glories of nature. Before coming to UB, he worked on the railroad for 35 years and how supplements his pension by driving a bus. “I love the fouj seasons,” DeMaria said, glancing out his window on a September afternoon. It's not all warm smiles and polite exchanges. Bus drivers are understandably irritated by the constant barrage of' questions about destination. “That’s what the signs arc for!” exclaims Bremer. Bus drivers are often dumbfounded by particularly Straqge questions. One newcomer to this school approached a bus just turning into Flint Loop and asked, “Does this bus go to Flint Loop?” One driver, closing his eyes and remaining poker-faced replied, 'wt “No, I’m going to tllicoti.” Drivers must also grapple with chronic breakdown of their buses. Though DeMaria had nothing to say about the condition of the buses, during the interview, his bus came to a dead halt. And what about the continual cuts ip the University’s bus budget? “1 feel bad for you kids,” he said, “because the cutbacks will hurl you especially during the winter.” — { —Jenson IS SEX FUNNY?

Buffalo has scored only two goals this season in their five games. Twelve freshmen are on the squad, which Dimmick considers 100 percent improved over last year. * * • • Despite a loss to powerful Cortland, the Royals tennis squad knocked off Canisius, Buffalo State and St. Bonaventure in last week's action.

St. Bonaventure was a near miss for UB. but clutch doubles play pulled out the win. With a 3-3 lie. Lynda Stidham and Lynn Kirkmaicr won in two sets 6-2 and 6-0. The Royals, now 5-2, hope to improve their record to qualify for the regional finals. Assistant Sports Editor Imagine millions of people turn on their televisions to watch the 25th clash between the Canisius and the University of Buffalo football squads. ABC broadcasts this one in the mold of Army-Navy and Michigan-Ohio State. It doesn't take television or even 25 years to make a game into a bona fide rivalry. The elements of one, especially on the local level, exist between Main Street’s two institutions. The Bulls, like Canisius, are relatively new to college football. Both Division III teams, they feature a multitude of players from Western New York. Yes, but the real rivalry takes place off the playing field. On the big Saturday, the eager fans arrive early and stay late. As if it were out of a storybook, the weather is great, the air is humming of a great game last year and even the cheerleaders are looking good. In the case of UB, this game becomes special when the national anthem is played live. No sarcasm; this game is big. If the Buffalo-Canisius games are really going to become an annual affair, fan support cannot be half visible. Last year over 8,000 people packed Rotary Field as Buffalo went down to defeat 22-8. Tomorrow’s clash will be at Parker Field, and in order for this game to blossom into an annual event, there should be more spectators than the fraternities and the Tampon Bay Bushmen. - * * * * Last Saturday's defeat to Waynesburg State College should not reduce the Bulls' spirit when they battle Canisius. Buffalo, now 1-3 on the year, was never in the game against their superior opponent. Waynesburg’s Kent Ewell kept UB out of field position for the entire game with his booming punts piercing deep into Bulls’ territory. Jim Rodriguez, who threw so well two weeks ago against Brockport had a poor first half and was replaced by Angelo Scappa. Scappa threw for 115 yards, however, the Bulls running game failed to mount an effective attack which kept Buffalo from scoring until late in the game. Shane Currcy who continues to have an exceptional year, was in on a total of 10 tackles as well as one interception. Frank Berrafato, a safety, also excelled Saturday with a blocked punt and a fumble recovery to his credit. . v/- . • � * > . • The Canisius Griffens enter tomorrow’s game following a bombarding 40-0 win over RPI. After a slow start, Griffen coach Bill Brooks included two freshmen, Dan Dry and Kevin Korwath, into the offensive lineup. Dry rushed for 132 yards and Korwath threw for 123 yards and three touchdowns to propel Canisius’ game. Both Buffalo and Canisius are improved over last year, and a tight game is all that can be predicted. * « « • Frank Price is leading Buffalo receivers in pass receptions with 17. In addition, the sophomore split end has averaged better than 13 yards per catch, second on the Bulls to Gary Quatrani who sports a 14.4 yard average. Quatrani also uses his speed on kick returns, with a better than 28 average per. Buffalo has had its difficulties with opponents in the second and third quarters, having been outscored 54-14.

A fierce pass rush by Phil Ganci and Gene Dudek pressured Mingia quarterback Mike Ciminelli into throwing after interception interception. Combined, defensive backs Groh and Doug Schram had more interceptions than Mingia’s receivers had receptions. And when the Bionic offense gained possession it was all Betz. With just under nine minutes remaining in the game, Betz took the shotgun snap from center, artfully eluded the pass rush of Mingia’s star defensive lineman Mike Shatzkin, and drilled a strike to Groh In the end zone. The conversion pajss to Schram made it 20-0. ana f it was - curtains for Mingia. Betz’s second-half scrambling gave his receivers plenty of time to get open in the Mingia secondary.

Rootie’s was now on the commanding side of the 23-0 contest. Without giving the already exhausted Jocks time to breathe, Chinnici was there with still another interception, his third and final of the afternoon. Sko added two points in the form of a safety to pad the lead. Barrera then got in the scoring limelight for six more points on a long pass, MacArthur showed more of what he’s made of and delivered the last of six points to the crushed Jocks.

Executive Vice President Karl Schwartz will assume presidential duties and, according to the SA constitution, must call an election for the top post by October 27. Mott said Schwartz will run for the presidency, which will mean that the Number Two position will also be up for grabs. The election could unleash a flood of candidates for the President and Executive Vice President positions. Mott told The Spectrum late Wednesday night that his resignation originated out of academic pressures, and said that he could not handle working 50 hours ’per week at SA. “It was a very, very difficult decision,” Mott said. “I though about it for a long time.” He said he had originally planned to have his graduation requirements fulfilled by this December, but that the time demands of SA have pushed back his expectations to May, “I just can’t put in the 40 to 50 hours a week that are.necessary for the position." he said. “When I originally started I didn’t have an accurate conception of what the job entails.” When asked if he had regrets about leaving a job students elected him to do, Mott responded: “Well, I feel a sense of obligation, yes, due to the nature of the position being an elected job.” Did internal SA turmoil influence his decision? “I really don't think that’s the reason I’m leaving, although it’s been a and a very educational year,” he frustrating year commented. Mott a former UB football player took - - — - office March 15. after handing together The Party the night before the SA elections. The Party which captured every race it entered, was led by Mott, "Schwartz, SA Vice President for Sub Board Jane Baum and Treasurer Fred Wawrzonek who, since taking office, has openly clashed with his running , mates. Most SA officers were informed Tuesday of Mott’s decision, which was reached Monday night. Schwartz and Sub Board I, Inc. Vice Chairman Scott Juisto. both close friend and political allies of Mott, were the first to be informed of the resignation SA’s chief executive said he began thinking of resigning in late summer. Mott informed University President Robert L, Ketter and Assistant to the President Ron Stein of his decision Wednesday afternoon. He said he would “make sure to be around the next few weeks to help Schwartz get accustomed to the job.” Molt felt his Executive Vice President would do “an excellent job” as President if he gets the permanent nod. Schwartz, at this point appears to be the favorite in the election for President, although he is likely to be opposed by one or more current SA officials. Mott’s term was highlighted by SA’s dramatic and internally divisive vote last. April to call for the removal of Ketter. Mott and other more cautious members of SA’s upper echelon, particularly Juisto and Schwartz, were bitterly opposed by SA Senate leaders who wanted a swift and severe chastising of Ketter. Tensions were strung tightest at the April 28 vote to call for Ketter’s removal, which followed a twodiour Haas Lounge speech by the beleaguered President before a packed audience of interested students. SA President Richard Mott 'A very, very difficult decision Vol. 29, No. State University of 20 Friday, 29 September 1978 New York at Buffalo SUNY officials blunder in request for bus money by Daniel S. Parker Campus CUitor As the University Bus Service plods along grappling with tight fiscal restraints. University officials await additional money in the State supplemental budget. Only this year, there will not be any money specifically allocated for Bus Service in the supplemental budget. According to Vice President for Finance and Management Edward V. Doty, “A technical error by the SUNY central administration resulted in the slashing of the University’s request for additional money.” Doty explained that the SUNY officials believed this University’s request was for additional busses, not the funds needed to dig Bus Service out of its current bind. Doty emphatically stated. "Both President Ketter and 1 are totally committed to running the busses.” The State Division of the Budget (DOB) acknowledged the error, said Doty, and has indicated “it will request budget transfers when we request them.” The University has the right to use money allocated for as long as it is one purpose for another namely for Bus Service approved by DOB. Doty said, “There are areas that can spend less. It will mean tightening supplies, but money will come from other areas in the supplemental budget and current operating budget.” — ■Korotkift UB gets funds Supplemental budget passes by Daniel S. Parker Cani/iiis k'Jilitr After months of political haggling, the New York State Legislature passed a supplemental budget granting the University $2.2 million in additional operating expenses and $13 million in new construction funds. The budget, which was passed in special session late Wednesday night, includes funds for additional faculty for the Medical School, money for the conversion of the Main Street Campus to a Health Science Center and $8.6 million for construction of but does not the new Music and Chamber Hall include any additional money for bus services here or $798,000 requested for acquisitions for the University libraries. SUNY Buffalo faired proportionately well, receiving approximately 30 per cent of the statewide SUNY total of $6.7 million for operating expenses and approximately 50 per cent of $26 million outlay for new construction." The University supplemental budget request had two major sections, according to University Controller William H. Baumer. "The first of these — * on page 22— — In the red Doty guessed that the earliest budget shuffling would take place sometime near the first of next year. He said. “It depends on the situation, but money will be found.” Doty refused to disclose what areas would be trimmed to supply Bus Service with the needed funds. The Bus Service budget is currently in the red by approximately $45,000 because University officials overspent their summer budget. This is due to Director of Busing Roger McGill’s annual request for $700,000 to cover the cost of busing students between campuses and the State’s annual allotment of $450,000. In addition to the lack of sufficient funds, the price per hour to run a bus has jumped from $7.95 to $9.95 in accordance with the contract signed two years ago with the Blue BircTBus Company. This raise went into effect September 1. Last week, Doty told The Spectrum, “I’m pretty sure that there will be money in the supplemental budget coming in for us," but since then, the number of busses running between the campuses has been cut. The tight finances along with an increased student enrollment over last year, has caused a serious overcrowding problem, especially on morning runs. —Smith CONFRONTATION: UB students who were denied the right to vote in Erie Country demanded hearings at the Erie County Board of Elections on Wednesday, assisted by members of the New Yorlc Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG).

Recognition by the GSA is necessary for a club to hold functions on campus and use University resources. Approval for activity funding must then be granted by the GSA Senate. Recognition of the Fusion Energy Club was postponed until the GSA investigates alleged club affiliations with the American Labor Party. The GSA Constitution dictates that organizations affiliated in any way with a political party may not be recognized. The GSA Finance Committee will meet in the coming weeks to determine the amounts each club will be funded. The results to be presented at the next Senate meeting October 25 will be voted on by the Senate. Each club will be required to justify the budget request it submits to the Finance Committee.

Ice cream, animal proteins and dairy products were barred from the diet. After six months, Kohler returned to the doctor to find out fie was practically cured.

The author described the early Feature Editor “We are here to discuss a topic which many people don’t even believe exists women s sexuality -Sandra Elkin, Moderator More than 650 women (and a handful of men) from New York State, New England, Ohio, and Pennsylvannia Canada attended the Women’s Sexuality Symposium Wednesday at the forum, Statler Hilton. The the Buffalo sponsored by Inter-Agency Committee for Women’s Issues, was designed to provide open discussions with national experts in the field of female sexuality. Female Workshops of Sexuality, including Myths and Facts, Female Sexual Dysfunction, Male Response to the Liberated Woman, Women’s Relationships with Women, and Women and the Crisis of Sex Hormones were conducted by leading therapists, sex psychiatrists, psychologists, and journalists. The field of female sexuality is new facts and complex, distinct from the sexualtiy of men, remarked Moderator Sandra Elkin, who stated that all that’s been taught about women’s sexual feelings has stemmed from “questionable sources” men. Women were seldom asked what they were feeling, instead they were told (by what to men) feel, Elkin This created a continued. — confusing disparity between the “facts” and what women actually felt, she concluded. Power struggle “We act out the male myths,” Elkin commented. “We wasted a lot of time thinking there was something wrong with us. Nothing is working,” she declared. The theme of female sexuality and its relation to feminism and the women’s liberation movement was the subject of a dynamic keynote address by Alix Kates ~ Schulman, noted author and works feminist. Schulman’s include the novels Memories of an Ex-Prom Queen and Burning two attempts to Questions, portray a woman’s position in a male-oriented society and her struggle to become a person. Schulman, to According sexuality is central to the analysis of the power relationships, based on the treatment of women as sex objects who depend on men for their emotional, sexual, and economic needs, she explained. Men benefit from perpetuating the myths surrounding female sexuality and therefore resist any Sexual conservatism returns years of the second wave of the liberation movement, 1967 with the formation of consciousness raising groups. “We became aware of sex as a political issue,” she said. Within the civil rights and leftist movements, women were still expected to “stuff the envelopes, make the coffee, and now sleep with the leftist men,” she recalled. Women were uncomfortable with this so-called sexual liberation and began to share their thought and women’s starting in Popular rumor has it that the of 1978 is tending toward “a new conservatism.” While that view is contested by many of today’s students it may hold true of a topic close to many a student sex. A nationwide survey of sex on campus, taken in 1976, found equal numbers of male and female virgins (26 per cent), with sexual attitudes flavored by the women’s liberation movement. However, recent spot surveys from around the country reveal a resurgence of some supposedly dated patterns: There’re still more men than women sexually active, and men and women still differ drastically over the relative importance of sex and love. One thing that has remained stable, though, the number of sexually active students, with traditionally conservative southern universities showing no exception. In fact, southern students sometimes exceed the latest national average of (CPS) - feelings. Justice for all The c-group (consciousness raising group) was born. This was the first opportunity for women to talk freely and openly about sexuality sexual activities, - dysfunctions, problems, fears, feelings, Schulman said. “We started from scratch, questioning everything, seeking information we could trust,” she explained. The c-group discussions did not center solely on the physical aspects of sexuality, she said. “We wanted justice for all women, not just better sex.” The infant women’s liberation movement was not understood by the media, asserts Schulman. When women demonstrated at the Miss America Pageant in 1970, they were depicted as “bra she crazy,” burners commented. The media was not ready to accept the movement and women’s motives were given inaccurate interpretations, she said. “We were called ugly and jealous, dykes, whores, and even commies. The demonstration saw the Pageant as a symbol of the denial of women’s dignity,” Schulman added. - student 74 per cent. A survey at Clemson University (South Carolina) found only 11 per cent of the men remaining virgins, and a University of North Carolina-Wilmington survey turned up only eight percent of the students swearing virginity. But the ratio of sexually active men to women consistently differed, with 10 to 40 per cent more men indulging in sex. The reason may have most to do with the importance of many women of an emotional commitment prior to sex. For example, a survey at Duke University indicated two-thirds of the women felt such a commitment necessary for a "sexual encounter." But while this percentage was similar for Duke’s virgin men, the non-virgin men differed radically. Two-thirds said a commitment wasn’t necessary. The same response was echoed at New Jersey’s Farleigh Dickinson University, where 66 per cent of the males but only 36 per cent of the females surveyed said they thought it was okay for a sexual partner to be a casual acquaintance. And a poll at California State Polytechnic University showed the same sentiment. Men cited sex as the single most important factor in keeping a relationship going. Women put sex fifth on the Dst, below such factors as love and meeting mutual needs. The differences in male-female attitudes cause tension in relationships, the surveys indicate, but seems to be accepted as inevitalbe. “A woman always gets emotionally involved when there is sex, where a guy doesn’t necessarily,” explains a University of Houston man. A State University of New York-Cortland male student blames parental influence. “I believe sex bsought me closer to many girls I fooled around with,” he said. “However, 1 also know that some girls just can’t have it that way because of the job their parents did on them.” The confusion over conflicting attitudes is undoubtedly making many students defer sexual relations. Yet Allan Bell of the*lnstitute for Sex Research predicts there won’t be any big decrease in the number of sexual active studetns. He foresees a campus trend towards “permissiveness with affection.” - The advancements and achievements that the women’s liberation movement has made in legislation of the early 70s greater abortion, educational the ERA opportunities, are being referendum a powerful threatened by resistance, Schulman warned. — - be “People speaking may differently, but they are acting the same,” she said. Anti-feminism This anti-feminist backlash is part of a general conservative trend spreading thorught the nation, Schulman said. “The Bill of Rights would never pass today,” she claimed. Schulman cited the restriction of rights to abortion through the cut-off of Medicaid funding, the tntenuous position of the ERA, and the movement for a constitutional amendment banning all abortion examples of the growing anti-feminist wave. The solution to the problems in the women’s movement, the solution to The problems in individual women’s lives; in their relationships, careers, in their feelings of sexuality, can be found in one word organize, Schulman stated. Women need support from other women to take risks in their lives, she explained. Collectivity and mutual support are necessary as — to counteract sexism in our personal lives, in the media everywhere, she concluded. Schulman urged the audience to remember the history of the women’s movement; the struggles, - the battles won and lost. “We tend to forget history as soon as it happens. We assume that the way it is now is the way it always was,” she declared. Women must remember that 100 years ago they didn’t even have the vote, or the right to own property they were denied basic human rights, she stated. "We must remember,” Schulman stressed. — struggle has its basis in sex,” she stated. With sexuality connected to political and economic issues, and virutally contemporary all life, facets of we must recognize its importance and fight for change, she asserted. “Society is a slow, lumbering creature not easily moved. We can’t let up the pressure. We can’t lose sight of our goals. Think feminism!” enthused Schulman. group Small discussions followed the keynote address, and were participants the given opportunity to share feelings about the speaker and formulate questions. “I’m all psyched,” one Western New York family planning counselor remarked. “She’s given me new energy.” “A time to relax with friends” and a leisurely lunch were symposium scheduled for participants to mingle and share ideas. Tables selling feminist literature, buttons and bumper stickers were available, as well as an information center for DES affected mothers and children. Think feminism' Great sucess In closing, the keynote speaker the audience reminded that sexuality is related to all other aspects of society. “The power Seminar-workshops, each focusing on a single aspect of female sexuality, were conducted throughout the afternoon. Participants opportunity given were the to question and discuss the topics of lesbianism, sexual function and dysfunction, the effects of liberation on the male, sexual myths, and the consequences of sex hormone use. The lack of men at the symposium was commented oh by one male speaker, psychologist Howard Bogard. ‘i felt a little overpowered,” he commented, jokingly, “guilt by association.” The symposium was open to men, coordinator Jean Hutchinson stated, however, few registered. Most of the men present were professionals who had some relation to a health field, she said. All in all, the symposium was “a great success wonderful,” according to coordinator Joan Many Levine. owmen felt encouraged by the number of participants. “Jst to see so many aware women in the same room, women from all walks of life, makes me feel-good,” one college student remarked. The topic of next year’s syposium has yet to be decided. Questionnaires requesting ideas for future forums were distributed and suggestions for new formats, ideas, and themes were actively solicited. - �* Camp David agreements: no guarantee of lasting peace by Alexander Cockbum I and James Ridgeway Pacific Newt Service • jo The framework for peace in Middle East triumphantly o> the proclaimed in the wake of the j the Palestinian people.” The PLO’s permanent observer at the U.S., Dr. Zehdi Terzi, told us: “Begin secured all he wanted, Sadat did not get anything, and Carter gave the cosmetic touches.

The document continues: “A withdrawal of Israeli armed forces But, exclaimed a reporter —continued on page 22 Camp David agreement meets hostile reception by neighbors term, a Palestinian province under his shelter could constitute a threat to his kingdom as great as that feared from such a Palestinian entity by the Israelis. Even so, it is hard to believe that Hussein, dependent as he is on American military aid, would, after playing for time, wish to scuttle the agreements single-handed. It has been noted that the Camp David agreements make no mention of the status of East Jerusalem, a matter of pressing concern to the Saudis, and one raised by King Khaled on Sept. 19 when he denounced the Camp David agreements for not mentioning Jerusalem, or a state for the Palestinians, or a role for the PLO. “I fail to imagine,” said one Palestinian diplomat rhetorically, “how the Saudis will feel when the Egyptian ambassador will present his credentials to an Israeli government in Jerusalem.” But it is easy to overemphasize the influence of Saudi Arabia. Despite the asserted leverage of their wealth, the Saudis were not consulted about Sadat’s original trip and have had little influence on events in Lebanon, Ethiopia, Yemen or Iran. They are regarded by some as confused and relatively ineffective rather than subtle and influential. It is highly unlikely that they will join Iraq and Libya in any effective attack on the conduct of Sadat whose country they continue, along with the World Bank, and the IMF, to bankroll. Even so, as a matter of domestic security, they might continue to urge a role for the PLO, at present excluded from all While the historic Camp David agreement has so far been received only with hostility among Egypt’s Arab neighbors, it is doubtful that any of the principal Arab states will join with the strict rejectionist front to scuttle the accords. Although the Syrians issued a pro forma denunciation, it is by no means certain that opposition from Damascus will amount to much more than bluster. The Syrians are more than occupied at present with a take-over of Lebanon and Beirut is in many ways a more tempting prize than the Golan Heights. Cynics suggested that in return for some minimal territorial concession by Israel, Syria might drop its protection of the PLO. Israel would respond by dropping its protection of the Lebanese Christians and these two parties would slaughter each other, thus solving the problem in Lebanon. More to the point, compliance in Damascus would be helped by a hands-off attitude by Israel on Syrian designs in Lebanon. In Jordan, the dilemma of King Hussein is more conspicuous. Despite his initial hostile reaction, it may be impossible for him to stay aloof from the agreements at Camp David and embrace outright rejectionism in the manner of Iraq or Libya. His own physical security and that of his regime would be more menaced than ever. But to enter the role allotted for him otv the West Bank presents equal dangers. - Mideast confrontation Is Hussein, as one Palestinian put it, going to take over the West Bank with the help of Israeli troops? Is he going to run the risk of inevitable confrontation with Yasir Arafat in any determination of the West Bank’s future? In the long negotiations. It is possible that a major Saudi effort will be made to attempt to force the United States to give the PLO a role in future negotiations. Such an effort might be made by calling a conference of the interested parties. Pacific NewsService - SOFT CONTACT LENSES • BAUSCH • LOMB & A. O.

"It is necessary for many majors, including pre-Engineering. pre-Dental, pre-Medical, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy. Medical Technology, and, of course, Chemistry," said Clarke. Clark assured everything possible is being done to fit the rest of the students into a lab section. She said, “I am working closely with Charles Fogel (Executive Vice President) calling students who haven’t yet shown up for lecture or lab, to see if they intend to drop the course.” Fogel said, “My office has been trying to contact these no-shows for five days.

It is possible to cross-register for the course at Canisius Community College, or at State University College at Buffalo. Otherwise, Chemistry 101 will be offered again during the Spring semester. A student could take it then, and take Chem 102 either during the Summer semester thus getting back on schedule for Fall 79 or during the Fall 79 semester.

Claiming that state taw gives the Board Students suffer over suffrage by Joel Di Marco City Editor Members of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) led a small group of students downtown Wednesday to the Erie County Board of Elections (ECBOE). NYPIRG Chairperson Larry Schillinger demanded hearings for those students whom the ECBE has denied voter registration in Erie County. A voter registration drive piloted by NYPIRG has yielded more than 1000 registrants statewide. Of the 160 applications made to Erie County, 70 were rejected because of the provisions of Section 5-104 of the State election law. Section 5-104 states that a student may only register to vote in the district he resided in before becoming a student. NYPIRG claims that 5-104 also gives the ECBE sufficient latitude in determining residency to allow the student registrations. In a press statement, Schillinger said, “The Erie County Board of Elections is unjustly denying area University ECBE would then contact the student to tell them the day and time of the hearing. DeFrancese said that he was by no means against the registration of students in Erie County. “I agree it’s a gray area,” he replied but DeFrancese also said that he would have to treat the matter in accordance with ECBE policy. Schillinger countered DeFrancese by telling him of a meeting last Friday between NYPIRG and the other deputy elections commissioner, William Quinn, at which iThe was present. During that meeting, Quinn hafTgone through the entire pile of registration applications, 170 of them in all, and within five minutes had separated out those applications that would be ineligible for registration In this county. “We maintain that it was a very arbitrary way to make a decision,” said Schillinger. students the right to participate in the upcoming elections. The same students being discriminated against by the Board of Elections pay property taxes through their reny payments, are eligible for local jury duty and are subject to local laws.” “To exacerbate an already rotten situation, the County Board of Elections has assumed a wholly attidue toward disenfranchised uncooperative students who are exercising their constitutional right to a hearing,” he stated. - Gray area Deputy James Flections Commissioner DeFrancese denied Schillinger’s allegations saying “We are not here to disenfranchise anyone. We are primarily here to administer the law. not make it.” DeFrancese informed Schillinger that every student who wants a hearing would have to leave their name and phone number with the ECBE and that the . - . ' . should get a hearing where a decision would be made on “each case on its merits.” Some of the students arranged for a hearing while others merely filled out another application form. Several had their application problems settled then and there. But Kenneth Sherman, Regional Director of NYPIRG, advised all the students to get the name of the person serving them on a receipt. DeFrancese refused to issue receipts saying that it would be too much trouble. Steve Vitoff, representing NYPIRG at Buffalo State College, said that his organization had gotten sonffi’ 200 applications in to the ECBE and that there had been some problems but “we haven’t been denied on a mass basis like at UB,” he said. NYPIRG is trying to get the matter resolved before October 10 Since that is the last day one can register by mgil. If the present attempts fail, NYPIRG is considering legal action to force the ECBE to accept the applications. * > y <, ' *. %. of musical chairs ever played at mUSIC • REFRESHmENTS • LOTS OF PRIZES Contact any housing RA for details YOU mUST SIGN UP IN ADVANCE We’ue got the Lowest Prices in town T-shirts & transfers *4 79 complete & Saturday, October 7th at 2:00 pm • Please Mr. T’s Co.

As this issue-starved decade winds down, we find public interest battles becoming the most important political confrontations in America. The moral outrage of the 1960s has yielded to a new, less glamorous activism aimed at making corporations and government institutions directly accountable to the public. The new activism sets its sights on huge public institutions that are using their massive wealth and entrenched political power to mislead or exploit the public. Issues like nuclear power, utility reform, bank redlining, divestiture and product safety find huge corporations and small, determined public interest groups doing battle in courtrooms, governmental hearings, and stockholders' meetings first; and picket lines, occupations and downtown rallies second. But the new activists have the odds stacked heavily against them. Corporate giants have entire floors that buzz with experts in manipulating public opinion. Titanic firms like IT&T blitz the media with slick, sincere sounding rhetoric ("the best ideas are ideas that help people") while supporting totalitarian regimes abroad and sinister twistings of the marketplace at home. Many public interest groups work out of unorganized, understaffed offices on any number of diverse, yet crucial issues and have not the resources to compete with the media hype of the giants. A reporter seeking both sides of the story may spend all who is likely to day tracking down the consumer advocate be researching or organizing opposition to another issue then find that one phone call to corporate headquarters puts him in touch with a friendly p.r. man with all the answers. But while the new activists are catching-up and even winning significant battles, higher education has certainly not done its share. Professional schools continue to turn out soldiers exclusively for the wrong side in the growing battle against corporations, while the academy in general has yet to turn a critical enough eye to our public institutions and their distance from the people. (Perhaps because the academy itself can look out across such a gap.) At a multi-university like SUNY Buffalo, we can see a glowing opportunity to create a multi-disciplinary program in the public interest field. With real expertise here in Law, Management, Political Science, Communications, Media Study and Urban Policy, and concerned students and faculty nestled in corners of the University like the Colleges, we can picture a SUNY Buffalo establishing a national "center of excellence" in an area that will almost surely become one of the key battlefields of the 1980s. If this is too much innovation for the University to handle, perhaps we can all take a closer look at how we define public service and how we serve to define corporate control over our lives. — - The Spectrum Voi. 29, No. 20 Friday, 29 September 1978 Editor-in-Chief — Jay Rosen Managing Editor David Levy Managing Editor Denise Stumpo Business Manager Bill Finkelstein - - — Diane LaVallee Brad Bermudez Joel Mayersohn Daniel S.

Nagarajan Harvey Shapiro Prodigal Sun To the Editor Your article of last Friday on the conditions of TA’s and GA’s contained one of the SUNY administration's more grave distortions of fact, and it cannot be allowed to go unchallenged. I refer to the remark made by Acting Executive Vice President Charles M Fogel to the effect that the minimum-level stipend received by most TAs and GA's in this University is a wage most can survive on “although not in an elegant style.” I live on the minimum stipend, and I wish to register my shock at this statement. It’s not that 1 disagree with his characterization of the stipend, obviously nobody has ever disputed that the TA salary is a princely sum. What 1 do object to is the slanderous charge that TA’s do not live elegantly. As an aspiring member of the educational establishment, I recognize my duty to set an example for others, not only of learning, but also of style and breeding. I couldn’t claim success in fulfilling this duty, but I honestly try each day to the job” of elegance, but most TA’s realize that from those to whom much is given much is expected. It has never been my habit to impugn anyone else’s pretentions to elegance, but since he has chosen to make an issue of the matter, it would only be proper at this time to demand that former Dean Fogel publicly provide, in the pages of this newspaper, the following pertinent items of information: the name of his tailor; the make, model and year of the automobile he drives to work; the wine he is most accustomed to buying; the names of any prestigious dinner professions and companions invited to his home in the last month; and any other relevant data on the subject of social or professional elegance. I trust that, in the spirit of full disclosure, the dean will choose to comply with this simple demand. The ball (to borrow a metaphor from the very elegant sport of tennis) is now in Mr. Fogel’s court. And rightly so, for elegance, like charity, should begin at home. Mark Conroy Composition Literature Program acheive it, as do most of my colleagues. We all know of individuals who may occasionally “fall down on English/Management: the ongoing debate To the Editor In Friday’s The Spectrum we are again treated from the English Department against to fulminations the plight and despair brought on, apparently single-handedly, by the Vice-President for Academic Affairs and his Academic Plan. With uncommon eloquence and passion. Dr. See rails against a mentality which places student-faculty ratios ahead of academic excellence. But nowhere does he seem to appreciate the extent to which his weighting of the various needs of the University is even more out of balance than he claims Dr. Bunn’s to be. If Dt. Bunn worries too muUi about the “more quantifiable data’’; (and H do not necessarily subscribe to that Indictment), Dr. See doesn’t seem to worry about them at all. What would Dr. See have us do? Are we to ignore the fact that a prime determinant of the level of resources coniing to the University is the number faculty to preside over nearly-empty classrooms? Are we to tell students that their and their parents’ tax dollars will not be used to support the programs they want, or to support them only at a level guaranteeing enormous classes? Are these considerations unrelated to the “human dimension of the problem” which Dr. See asserts is being neglected? Nobody wants to see the Faculty of Arts and Letters dismembered, but the issue has a complexity which the English Department is apparently unable to grasp. Dr. See worries only that with further cuts “we will not be able to serve a varied constituency well enough to make them excel,” and that “no group within this constituency tan well be sacrificed.” I’m sure this concern is both sincere and justified, but since we are not told what other constituencies Dr. See is willing to sacrifice, his observations will not contribute constructively to the ongoing debate over an academic plan. of students we teach? Are we to maintain TA’s and Howard C. Foster Associate Dean, School of Management Reverend Demske and complexity To the Editor !n the past I have done my share of complaining about student oversimplification of complex issues. This is, of course, a form of self-criticism for it is a faculty responsibility to set and maintain a high level of discourse, to encourage confrontation of serious issues in serious ways. Until this week I have been quite pleased with this year’s level of dialogue, because even the English-Management colloquy has, barring a few slips, been carried on at a reasonably high level That says a great deal for the combatants who are after all stating, their cases under the most servere personal pressures and with academic careers at stake. Now, however, we have the Father Demske September 25 The Spectrum letter, a letter that surely represents the lowest common demoninator of issue oversimplification and obfuscation. $15,416 vs. $1840 indeed, standard of arguement to set for students! Others 1 am sure will respond to Father Demske’s elitist appeal to taxpayers (clearly those who have no children to educate), to his narrow view of university function as delivery system, to his avoidance of the church-state separation issue which rather than his own volition keeps his tax dollar low, to his blindness to the problems of a geographically divided campus. Instead I appeal to our students to see his letter as a form of literary contrapositive hardly Swiftian to be sure.

Now, after Monday’s latest dribble I am forced to raise my pen and expose Jay Rosen’s “Exile on Main Street” column for what it is: phony, useless, and stylistically flawed beyond poetic or any other license. His “essays” have nothing to do with students real problems, or the world’s real solutions but are rather condescending pontifications meant only to highlight a perceived gift for metaphor. And, beyond everything else, they bore me. Rosen must feel he has cultivated some sort of regular readership and thus must persist with warblings like last week’s trash on indecision. Well, from what I can tell, most of the campus is just plain sick of “Exile on Main Street”. S. 'Thomas MacGregor �dayfridayfrldayfrida ■o feedback •si to Rape: more than normal precautions Misplaced To the Editor. To the Editor The fact that a UB coed was raped outside of Hall is not only frightening but should have been prevented by the security officers. Where are they? Or why don’t they patrol the areas where it is most needed. At night, their priorities should focus on the dorms, libraries, and parking lots. Many times, either after a night class or studying late at the Goodyear 1 find myself walking alone to my car, without any Campus Police in sight. This does not give me a strong sense of security. Joel Mayerson stated in his article that women aren’t aware of the danger they are in. 1 think that he is right. Women must be made aware of the fact that they are in danger of being raped at any moment, in any place. But women should not be the only ones made aware of this danger. The attitued of library, Lee Griffen, the Director of University Police, needs revision. The fact that he considers two attacks “minimal” and “no reason for a state of paranoia to exist on campus” shows that he is not fully aware of the danger that women are in at this University Two attacks were reported in less than one month and two different men are suspected. One woman escaped from her attacker, the other was not able to. The coed who was raped was found by Dr. and Mrs. Davis. What if, for many understandable reasons, the coed chose not to report this rape. I am sure that at least some of the “unsubstantiated rumors’’ are valid; the majority of rapes are not reported. Rape must occur at this University that is not made public or we wouldn’t have the organization the UB Anti-Rape Task Force. 1 feel that more women are gradually forced to be aware of the danger of rape. What must be done is to make men. especially the Campus Police, who are provided for our protection, aware of this danger. Joel’s attitude of rape, reflects in his article, and is one that many men share: that of passiveness. This attitude is made evident when Joel calls the rape an “attack” Men must be made to realize that rape is a terrible and harmful crime, that must be taken seriously and prevented by taking more than normal precautions. Ann Demopoulos Where are the cops? modifier A case of misplaced modifiers, perhaps?

Webster's defines security as, "freedom from exposure to danger But “they" seem more to be protecting us from our own frivolous antics than from danger Where was University Security last Sunday night when a twenty year old girl was attacked? The Main-Bailey parking lot is certainly not far from Goodyear Hall so that neither distance nor a little frequented area can be the excuse. Rather, it would appear, the faulty is within the system a case of ” - misplaced modifier most of the time when I read in The Spectrum about To the Editor As 1 am in my third semester at UB, I have noticed a big difference in the amount of Campus Police at the Amherst and Main Street Campuses. There seems to be more Campus Police on Amherst than on Main Street. Last year,, I lived in Ellicott, this year on Main Street, and I’ve noticed that in Ellicott, 1 was always bumping into them someplace, on Main Street, it seems I haven’t as much. And crime occuring on campus it occurs on Main Street. Last Sunday night, September 24, a girl was molested someplace in back qf (Goodyear Hall and went into a state of shock. I don’t know if more Campus Police on Main Street would have stopped that or not, but I think that more Campus Police should be on Main Street. Glenn A. Minko Jane Opie Rapid transit: closer look To the Editor It is unfortunate that before Fil Lawrence wrote a letter questioning and attacking various important technical aspects of the proposed Buffalo light rail rapid transit system, he did not bother to research these aspects. With just a small amount of research he would have learned that light rail catenary (overhead power) systems ;-re far from an “untried technology in this country”. A visit to either Boston, Philadelphia, or Pittsburgh among several other major American metropolitan areas will reveal very successful, established light rail systems. Had Oil researched the topic, I doubt that he would have made the statement that “light rail systems leave no room for expansion of capacity except by lengthening the trains.” Light rail is as, if not more adaptable to fluctuations in- passenger volume than a heavy rail (New York City subway) type operation. If the demand warrants, headway between trains could easily be lessened, and the proposed two unit trains would handle even the highest projected ridership levels with ease. would have saved Gil from the embarassment of blatantly contradicting himself. He first claims that the LRRT will split the downtown area, and then goes on to complain aobut the fact that the downtown section of the system will operate on a compromised (shared) right of way. In will be the downtown right of way fact, Research to an extent, allowing automobile cross the line at grade at several major compromised traffic downtown streets. Save the wilderness To the Editor. j In the few remaining months of this year the U.S. Forest Service intends to reclassify,62 million the last remnants of acres of roadless wilderness wild lands within our national forest system. This huge amount of land comprised of 2000 seperate areas has long been sought after by powerful anti-wilderness lobbies to have them declared ' “non-wilderness”. Under this designation these remaining roadless areas would be susceptible to a - variety of types of “development”, lumbering the most obvious. Under the Forest Service’s RARE II program (Roadless Area Review and Evaluation) the public has been presented a hastily drawn together list of possible alternative classifications for the land. These classifications are heavily biased in favor of commercial development, leaving little to be preserved as wilderness. The anti-wilderness’ claim that reclassification would create new industry and jobs is without substance. The areas in question are relatively low in value for commercial development. Their greatest economic potential lies in lumbering, a notoriously wasteful and ecologically devastating industry. Further, Sierre Club studies indicate that federal money could be more profitably allocated if it were put toward intensive management of already developed timbering areas. to The point to realize is; Buffalo simply does not will not in the foreseeable future, need the services of a high capacity heavy rail system. Admittedly, the proposed system is far. from flawless. It is however, Buffalo’s most promising concrete hope for economic revitalization. The system is well thought out and quite flexible, so that now, and Okay, if your still with me, the bottom line is that there’s alot of public land that’s currently up for grabs. The land is of inestimable economic and ecological value and we’re being given the Bum’s rush by bureaucracy. Your help is needed to sway the opinion of the Forest Service, If they can be convinced of the existence of a concerned segment of the populus they may think twice before rushing this through. Given the shortness of time, personal letters of condemnation offer the best mechanism for political Citing action. local areas currently under consideration will help strengthen your argument. Please make mention of the Allegheny National Forest in your letter. Express support for conservation groups, such as the Sierra Club and the Wilderness Society. Finally, comment on the way RARE II is being handled, i.e., the unrealistic time-table, the rush to classify all areas simultaneously, slanted alternatives in favor of extensive development, and the one-sided economic analysis which fails to consider more fully environmental factors.

Ron Klein Tennis and student rights To the Editor In Friday's The Spectrum Dave Davidson says that friends of commuters should be»allowed to use tennis courts for free. Whether he realizes it or not, every student of this University has already paid for his or her own right to use the tennis courts through mandatory fees. To allow non-students to use the tennis courts for free after forcing students to pay for the right is absolutely ridiculous. The Spectrum is usually a staunch defender of student rights. It is surprising to see it suggest giving away these rjgfits. , I’aige Miller �day fr iday fri dayfri feedback Jail: the cold facts To the Hditor. I just got back from the movie “Short Byes." I was really hit by that movie. I mean, I was in jail a while back and scenes in that movie just brought back things I thought, hoped were long over with, but I guess they never are. Yet, even though the movie was so goddamn true, and hit straight on to how things arc in Jail, the people watching if were laughing. I couldn't believe it. These idiots laughed when a guy got his arm shoved in between the bars of a closing cell door. When I first got into jail that was a big fear. I mean those doors don’t stop. But then again, maybe people just don’t realize that. But the beatings, they laughed at the beatings. “Oh yeah, the scum bag deserved to get the shit kicked out of'him.” Wow, it’s Just too much. I was only in a medium security prison, bunch of New England street punks, alcoholics, and fellow Clamshell trespassers. We only got slapped around, stomach punches, and maybe a kick or two. We didn’t get beat senseless, only enough to show we were powerless pieces of shit. That happens in jail. You get belittled, you’re told you’re less than nothing. You open your mouth and you lose the argument. Logic taken to its extremes. No matter what you say, if don’t kiss ass, you’re calling someone a liar, and they’ll slap you up for it. People laughed at that. That shmuck on the screen had nothing, was made nothing, and they laughed. He’s a child molester, despicable scum, so they thought he deserved it. They laughed when they beat on him. Then they slit his throat. No, you don’t laugh when they do that. You oh and ah and compare it to Peckinpaw gore. That film blew me away. What the characters in film did, I had threatened to me. Of the people 1 was in jail with, probably about half of them will land their asses in a situation where the threats turn into reality. They’re gonna get tromped. They’re gonna get raped. They’re gonna suffer like we’ll never know. And those assholes in the movie laughed. I saw people 1 was in jail with in that movie. That made me sad, because 1 remember that a few of them are still there. I remember people who were in for six months seeing a lawyer. One who was dragged back to New Hampshire, at gun point, by loan company thugs, he had MS. Others who were some of the nicest people I pver met, but would turn on you in a second, because they were in for longer than you were. The people at the movie laughed at these people. They laughed at a reality that causes pain to the folks that are in it and others, like me, who are out of it. I still have dreams of prison. They scare me. The people who laughed also scare me because they don’t know and they might not bother to realize. that Science and Engineering: not too bad To the Editor. I would like to tell everyone that the Science and Engineering Library is-a terrible place to study, no one would go there and I could have it to myself. This would be stretching the truth a bit too far. The much, much more make the Science and Engineering Library an advantageous location for studying. The librarians and aids at this library are courteous and willing to help people on most every occasion.

I have been a student at UB for four years now. This is the first time the bureaucracy here has gotten to me. I am a management student who is getting the run around from the management department and Lockwood Library. All management material is supposedly at the Science and Engineering Library on Main Street. Isn’t it too bad that nobody really knows where it is? I have been told by two librarians at Lockwood that the material 1 needed is at the SEE, I was told by two people at SEE that my information was at Lockwood. Does anybody know where anything is at this school? Because of everyone’s ineptness and inability to help me in anyway except by shuffling me from person to person, my assignment will probably be late or unacceptable. I just wish that someone in this school would get their information correct, so the students at UB don’t have tp suffer for it. Lisa Mark Pettitt fr/ . .< # TflOTto/ huh, cm 1 MV mb?

(I Wonder if their training consists of learning the skill they use most in their job' doing homework and using the telephone.) However, this is no excuse for student help to be sitting around; if the library use is slow on a particular night, why doesn’t the director of student help at the S.E.L. (I wish I knew his name) send some student help home early? I hope the director doesn’t say this is a bad labor practice it isn’t when they all have their books with them and they can sit in the S.E.L. the remainder of the night and - I would like to reply to your recent article on the plight of the University Libraries in particular Saktidas Roy’s comments that “we need more staff in the new buildings,” but we haven’t got it. As a result we have had to cut services and hours.” One of the libraries he is referring to is the Science and Engineering Library, which has had its weeknight hour closing time of 11:00 p.m. cut to the present 9:00 p.m. closing time. As a grad student who spends a lot of time in the S.E.L. on weeknights, 1 have had a chance to see the gross inefficiencies that occur. 'I am referring to the extravagant amount of student help that is “working” during the hours 5-9. These students have so little “work” to do that I have witnessed every night these students either doing their homework or talking on the telephone to their friends. (Might I add that a lot of these phone calls are made toll-free, state-wide through the use of the University’s “Tie-Line” service.) - - Crippling limitations - To the Editor. Despite its size, 1 am constantly convinced that this University has Ittle room for students. Recently, I tried to obtain information about that UB is fashioning limits in its enrolling policies as despicable that UB is fashioning limits in its enrolling policies as study anyways. Why doesn’the send the student help home early? Because he probably has his eyes buried in his own homework!

The general philosophy at Ridge Lea is, “Quit your job and come back to school full-time!” Looking at the MBA program was just as successful. The girl at the Crosby Hall information desk, Ms. Vella, told me that to enroll at night in the Graduate Management Program, I would need three years business experience. The literature about the program bore her out. When questioned as to what the requirements are for a full-time student, she said that 12 more credits are needed to get the degree, but the work experience is unnecessary. “The admissions people won’t even look at an application for the GMP without the work experience,” she told me.

Name withheld upon 'request Unexpected food stop To the Editor. On a sunny afternoon traveling be Bluebird from Ellicott to. Main Street, in the middle of our journey, we experienced an unexpected stop. Much to our disbelief, the driver signaled right, pulled off Millersport Highway and parked in front of Sunny’s Drive In. We were curious to find out why this sudden stop occured. Our first thought was to follow him inside, ask him what was going on (and possibly get something to eat). A few short moments later he emerged with a ham sub and a Teem in hand. To make matters worse, he didn’t offer anyone a bite. Why is it necessary that a Bluebird driver must stop at Sunny’s instead of the Student Club? Is it that the food is not good enough in the Student Club? It is too expensive? Isn’t the driver given enough time to stop in-between trips? We don’t blame the driver for this short interruption in our journey. However, we do direct these questions to the Bluebird Bus Company and to Food and Vending Services to find out why they forced this poor man to go through such extreme measures to have his dinner.

Their show shakes down the standing-room-only taking house by those terrifically hummable pop melodies that are the highlights of their records and blasting them with both incredible precision and watch in Cheap Trick because each member is so entertaining that he immediately distracts you from the next. Bun E. Carlos is a Chicago forties tough, pounding on those Beatlesque Ludwigs through endless clouds of smoke. Bassist Petersson and lead singer/rhythm guitarist Robin Zander are white, white, white teenage heartbreakers with slashing smiles. And if Rick Nielsen could sling the drums and bass around his neck like he does those three Explorer guitars, he alone could be enough to watch. But once you get past the appearances, you find there is a good deal more to this band than the costumes might indicate. There is no question that Cheap Trick is more than a bodiless face. Indeed, it is their rock and roll body language that is so engaging. “This song starts with Bun E.” shouts Zander, and immediately the audience is swept away by the solid backbeat. Then Nielsen joins in: “It’s... time for... Southern Girls!” Rumble, slash, Nielsen flies off his mini-stage and Petersson razes the audience, gunning down the packed orchestra pit with bazooka shells of rhythm. And then Zander, tying it all up with that shiny, shiny voice of his. The song ends in a final blast of 21-gun-salute power chording, and as with every song, the audience screams like it’s the last rock and roll band on earth. "Come On, Come On," "California Man," "Stiff Competition," every song a ... Cheap Trick guitariit Rick Nielsen omansl Engaging rock and roll body language power, right through your ears and so far into your brain that they are there forever. Cheap Trick is unforgettable. The hearbreaks of Chicago It's hard enough deciding on whom to cruncher and yet in melodic crystalline delivery You’ve got the, uh, personality . . This isn’t to say that Cheap Trick does not use its personae to the fullest advantage. Those pretty boys tease, practically walking right off the stage into the arms of a thousand screaming nubiles. “It sounds like BUFFALO!!!” screams Nielsen, and it’s more of a demand than a statement as he leans his ear into the audience to gauge their response. His face is contorted like a rubber man’s, changing as fast as Silly Putty does when you stretch the imprint of your favorite comic. Nielsen takes the Jumpers’ 45 from that band’s lead singer, and attacks the audience with it in his teeth. And it all comes crashing down at the end when Carlos, armed with drumsticks the size of baseball bats, almost loses his cymbals to the barrage. The cloest Cheap Trick have come to a hit single is their current one, "Surrender.” Not every city reacts to them as fanatically as Buffalo (Nielsen once said they would consider doing their live album here). And with the power pop bandwagon having more jumpers-on than the 8A bus at six p.m., a situation is created that could mean trouble for a less inspired and talented band. But, put Cheap Trick’s records on and you’ll go to heaven tonight. Better a Cheap Trick than the royal scam some bands try to give you. . Up in Smoke' You know, seeing this straight man, it could give you a headache , by Ross Chapman The seventies is a decade of exhaustion. It lies prostrate, spent by the futile exertions of the sixties. People today buy almost anything put in front of them. themselves to They attach philosophies and lifestyles the way they buy blue jeans and pimple cream. All that remains of the insurgent sixties are the paraphenalia of an abortive cultural revolution. Detached from the spirit that generated them, they are empty gestures whose pace is now set by a Madison Avenue that has been quick to exploit them. Hipness has degenerated into conformist attitudes towards dress, music and recreation a very "bourgeois middle class debility. Drugs are not particularly amusing. One cannot reasonably object to the occasional or even frequent use of them but the existence of and immersion in a drug-oriented culture or lifestyle is just plain depressing these days. It doesn’t represent a personal statement or protest. It doesn’t mean anything anymore. It’s just another sign of corruption, of There is no prostration. counter-culture to speak of today. There are only various groups, - each equally bourgeois, differing only in the gestures they conform just plain stoned Up In Smoke, the first film of the comedy team of Cheech and Chong, is not a comic tribute to or parody of the non-existent seventies counter-culture. It is a product fed to a passive public. The entire film is more or less one unending search for smokes. Getting stoned isn't a portentious act and Cheech and Chong’s doping isn't a salute to "the time and culture of a generation brought up in the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll” as director and former pop album producer Lou Adler claims it is. It’s Hollywood’s exploitation of a decade that, in one sense or another, is just plain stoned. The promotion for Up In Smoke admonishes us not to be "straight” when seeing this movie. This turns out to be good advice. For those of us who are "straight,” that is, not happy living in the seventies and not satisfied with conforming to inebriated mindlessness, the antics of Tommy Chong and Cheech Marin are more likely to induce a headache than a laugh. If marijuana were to disappear from the face of the earth and —continued on page 14— INDUCING A HEADACHE: Aftar three successful comedy albums, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong have ventured into the celluloid world. by Directed former pop album producer Lou Adler, the film according to our reviewer, is one never ending search for pot.

Okay, Frank Zappa was at the Aud last Wednesday evening and along with his sledgehammer social unrelenting satire, comments and nasty aftertastes of what the sixties called sick humor the Zappa, musician's technician, offered the scant cultist regime his latest advancements in the most incomprehensible form of fusion known to man.

People tune into films for their idiosyncratic merits, j People watch TV series to see something they’ve come to expect. The rating of films on TV are very spotty since viewers tend to be reluctant 8 to invest two hours on an unknown quality. Similarly, the viewer is not | likely to tune into a series week after week unless there’s something . he’s come to like and, more importantly, something he can count on 5* week to week. Thus, even if a series catches on initially, it must remain 3 essentially the same if it is to bring in those ratings points. This means jg of course, that eventually it fall victim to shifting viewer interest. And cr> so the networks must forever risk capital on new series most of which fail at the starting gates. The mini-series involves risk as well but it has, so far, a greater f chance of success. The viewer tunes in for something special and slays 5 tuned in for several nights. Before he can become bored, the series is 00 over. And if he didn’t tune in the first night, there are always more nights in which to do so. Mini-series can flop, (NBC’s King is proof of that) but, on the whole, they have been consistently more reliable than either movies or series. And so, the mini-series has become a staple of television viewing. This season is no exception. There are more than twenty of them on the horizon. A great number of these are NBC’s. Apparently, the third-placed network is putting a lot of its ratings eggs into the mini-series basket in hope to cash in on the form's high Neilson return. Here’s a list I’ve gleaned for you from the pages of TV Guide, People, Variety, and a number of newspapers. This list notes the notables only. Perhaps most interesting is NBC's two-part adaptation of Aldous Huxley’s classic novel, Brave New World. Set in the future, it describes a chilling vision of Utopia. Television’s scorecard on classics is spotty, and I await this mini-series with a certain amount of trepidation. You know what they say: the bigger they are . . . Also on NBC will be A Man Called Intrepid adapted from a rather exciting book accounting the bizarre world of Allied espionage during World War II. James T. Farrell’s popular trilogy comes to the tube in NBC's Studs Lonigan. Frbm Here to Eternity (NBC), a very popular novel by James Jones and an even more popular film by Fred Zimmerman in 1953 featuring the young Frank Sinatra, is expanded (somehow) into six parts. James Michener’s Centennial, a very long novel, becomes a very fong mini-series on NBC (a record length; 25 hours). Louisa May Alcott's children's classic, Little Women will be presented in two parts on NBC, A Woman Called Moses (NBC) follows the exploits of Harriet Tubman, a black woman who helped slaves escape along the “Underground Railroad.” It stars Cecily Tyson so it should be excruciatingly poignant. CBS brings Irving Wallace’s The Word to the "tube in your life.” It features director John Huston (as an actor), Altman-regular Geraldine Chaplin, and James Whitmore, who’s bound to be imitating someone. And if I know Irving Wallace, there’ll be a message in it for all "of us. Also on , CBS is Haywire, the story of Brooke Hayward’s childhood (You remember her: her husband Dennis Hopper once broke her nose). This mini-series will probably sling some mud at the reputation of her parents, Leland Hayward and Margaret Sullivan. Always in every TV season are so many specials that they can hardly be called "special.” Still, specials starring such personalities as Bea Arthur (CBS), Lily Tomlin (CBS), Andy Kaufman (ABC), Chevy Chase (NBC), Steve Martin (NBC), and Bette Midler (NBC) might be worth the, while. Also coming are a number of made-for-TV films. Obviously, I can’t give you ar>y recommendations on them since I haven’t seen them. And, given the abysmal quality of most TV movies, it would be futile to even list them. Nonetheless, there are a few, by virtue of their star dr their literary source, that might be interesting. Dyan Cannon, a comic actress of formidable talents (she was Mrs. Leo Farnsworth, the would-be-murderess, in Heaven Can Wait) is starring in an NBC movie, Lady of the House, about the madame who became mayor of Sausalito. Katherine Hepburn is in a remake of the classic The Corn Is Green. No matter how bad it might be, Miss Hepburn is always worth your while. Also on TV are adaptations of The Thief of Baghdad (from the Arabian Nights and starring Roddy McDowall), / Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, and an all-black version of Les Miserables, Victor Hugo’s all-white classic. Mini-series, specials, and made-for-TV movies are all designed to break the humdrum of every day TV fare. However, I think the reader should be advised: despite-their intentions, they’re often more dull than anything else on the tube, if only because we receive so much less than we come to expect.

All that remains is this fixation on altered consciousness to reduces (which t/nconsciousness). The highlights of the film include giant joints, a woman who snorts Ajax, a van made entirely of pot, and three stoned narcs. Tossed in is the sort of crude humor one used to hear in grammar-school locker rooms. (You know, where everyone giggles into their hands at words like "poopie," “titties,” and “peter.”) In the first two minutes, shit and urine have already made their appearance. The film’s idea of sexual humor is so childish that you almost have to laugh at it. Homosexual jabs raise their ugly head in the person of one Judge Gladys Dykes. (Get it? It would probably be better for your state of mind if you didn’t.) I could go on and on but I think you get the picture. Wasted talent As actors, Cheech and Chong do a good job of translating themselves from the aural Their humor (or medium. attempts at it) present themselves as much 'visually as verbally, and visuals are what movies are all about. Everyone else, though, evaporates in the glare of incompetence which is Up In Smoke. Strother Martin is wasted in a bit role as Tommy Chong’s father. And let’s face it folks, for anyone who has seen Coo / Hand Luke, Strother, Martin is a lot funnier than Tommy Chong. Tom Skerritt, who played Duke in - Robert Altman’s M*A*S*H shell-shocked Vietnam veteran who thinks himself still in the war. It seems as if he were merely a prop for a huge birthmark that provides a cheap joke for the film. Stacy Reach plays a super-straight narc who gives a bumbling pursuit to the van made of pot. That Reach should be in such a role is a textbook example of idiotic casting. Stacy Reach is more counter-culture, more the alienated atigry-man bucking against fate and The System than either of these cipherous upstarts, Cheech and Cong. To have him as the establishment buffoon borders on the insulting. The cinematographer, Gene Polito, gives Up In Smoke the flat, even lighting that reminds one of TV. This is only right, however, as the paucity of visual beauty is consistent with the lack of comic beauty. The soundtrack is loud. Retorts are like rifle shots and background music muscles its way into the foreground. The verbalizations themselves are loud in that they are gaudily garnished with hip idioms. Slang can be very expressive but in this film (as in the general dialect of the seventies), expression gives way to hip inarticulacy. The characters say ‘‘man” so much I had the feeling that I was watching a condensed version of Bronowski’s The Ascent of Man.

In years past, an “all star cast" has been the saving grace for too many to sequels Airport, boring historical epics (A Bridge Too Far, Tora! Tora! Tora!), two flimsy excuses for comedy by Neil Simon ( Murder By Death and The Detective), and more Cheap examples of the “disaster" genre. Indeed, the label appears as frequently as that of “Made in Japan,” and with the same connotation. John Guillermin, a director who’s had previous experience with a line-up of heavies in his The Towering inferno, manages to make good on the label’s inherent promise in his new film version of Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile. Starring Peter Ustinov as the legendary sleuth, Hercule Poirot, Death on the Nile boasts such names as Bette Davis, David Niven, Maggie Smith and Jack Warden among the passengers of the luxury steamer Karnak. The murder mystery centers on the death of Linnet Ridgeway, the “richest girl in the world,” while on her honeymoon cruise along the Nile in Egypt. The steamer is full of suspects with varied motives for murdering the beautiful and selfish heiress. Is it Jackie (Mia Farrow) who Linnet’s husband jilted and who is obsessed with revenge? Is it Angela Lansbury as the boozing author of trashy novels whom Linnet accused of libel? Perhaps George Kennedy as Linnet’s trusted Uncle Andrew who has embezzlement on his mjnd? Or could it be Mrs. Van Schuyler-(the scene stealing Davis) who covets Linnet’s jewels? tt’s up to the unflappable Poirot, with the assistance of his friend Colonel Race (Niven), to find out. Lost essence The film- is entertaining and fun largely due to the wit of the veteran actors in the cast and the fast pace of Guillermin’s direction keeping us on our toes. Yet, as an old Christie fan who has read nearly all of Poirot’s cases’ I cannot take Death on the Nile seriously. It is too glossy a rendering of the milieu in which Dame Agatha set her mysteries; contrary to her style, the film stresses broad characterizations rather than complexity. Christie’s complexity rooted itself in her plot construction and detailed language. The personalities of her characters take second place to situation, her books more aptly called “how dunnits?” than “who dunnits?” On screen, the usual understatement typifying Christie’s characters is lost; thus, the essence of her work is lost the awareness of the potential for murder in even the most humble of existences. A major disappointment is the. miS'Casflng of Ustinov in the role of Poirot. Physically, he is too large to play the small, dapper Belgian with a waxed moustache — Ustinov is an actor who exudes warmth and joviality befitting a continental Santa not the vain and idiosyncratic Poirot. Christie’s Inspector is r man committed to the task of solving murders with what he proudly refers to as his "little gray cells,” a man who lakes his legend seriously, at star Topol ages ago. She’s lost her fragility and acquired a vulnerable maturity. In the role of Bowers, mannish companion to Bette Davis' cantankerous Mrs. Van Schuyler, Maggie Smith is hilarious (this bit role could achieve the same notice which garnished an Oscar for Ingred Bergman’s performance as the 'DEATH ON THE NILE': Debonair David Niven, portly Peter Ustinov, and beautiful Bette Davis discuss the simple art of murder in the movie adaptation of Agatha Christie's best seller. times, insufferably so. Poirot has but distance, and, as witnessed in AJbert Finney's fine portrayal a few years ago in Murder On The Orient Express (another but entertaining aggrandized treatment of a Christie tale), a dignity which commands respect and can elicit fear. Ustinov’s Poirot is too humorous to frighten his suspects, more of a nuisance than a legend. Where in the books, Poirot’s concessions to vanity (such as his use of a hairnet 4n bed) are accepted habits of an extraordinary personality, in the' film, they appear as just plain silly. Ustinov’s portrayal is merely a caricature, this Poirot is an eccentric. charm . ‘All star nanny in Murder On The Orient Express), and last, but not least, in a rare screen appearance, Angela Lansbury is charmingly convincing as the tippler who thrives on passion and romance but is met by scorn. I recommend Death on the Nile for pure escapism, its gorgeous costumes by Anthony Powell, a chance to view Egypt’s beauty, and some wonderful performances by its "all star cast.” But if you’re a true Agatha Christie afficianado Shaffer, who the adapted screenplay, claims he is), curl up you somewhere won’t be interrupted and read the book. Unadulterated Christie is pure pleasure. cast’ Despite Ustinov and the stiff performance of model-turnedactress Lois Chiles, the cast is a treasure.

The subtle, emotive classical instrument Buffalo Quitar Workshop in concert an enlightening experience by Steve Bartz Everyone should, at one time or another, experience a classical guitar concert. The classical guitar I I is an instrument which can cover a spectrum of musical tastes with skill and grace, and the Buffalo Guitar Quartet certainly proved that point before an audience of seventy in Baird Hall this past Sunday evening. The guitar is an unusual experience because it is so subtle and yet so emotive. Within the works played by the quartet, one could recognize styles ranging from Peter Frampton’s folk-rock variations to a" pure baroque approach. Most of the works on the program were transcribed by Quartet member )eremy Sparks; with the other members, John Sawers, James Wolf, and Leonard Biszkont, adding life to the framework of the transcriptions. The Quartet’s first selection, a group of four short pieces by early English composer John Dowland, and transcribed by Sawers, showed the quiet, subdued, but very much alive nature of the guitar. The blending of sound, which the Quartet has obviously labored hard to achieve, reminds the listener of a harpsichord (and, unfortunately, in the more commonplace passages, of a soundtrack from a PBS television show). Concerto for two violins Dowland’s compositions especially helped to reveal the essential nature of the guitar: its ability to explain not simply a single emotion, but two contrasting feelings joy within sorrow, the dark cloud and the silver lining at the same lime. — Two J.S. Bach fugues, also transcribed by Sawers, demonstrated the liquidity and nobleness of tone native to the Quartet. Here also the importance of mechanical mastery of the instrument oozed forth. ,A carelessly brushed finger can ruin a mood and destroy a work, and the Quartet did occasionally fall prey to sour, sliding notes. Sparks' excellent adaptation of Vivaldi’s "Concerto for Two Violins” (first movement) produced a rolling, passionate composition which would have made the master violinist proud. The image presented is that of the guitars joining forces, only to split apart and follow their individual melodies. The music gently stroked the air and the ear. The crowd-pleaser of the evening was Boccherini’s "Introduction and Fandango,” which conveyed drive, power and a cavalier attitude, and even allowed the musicians to experiment with a bit of flamenco-style playing. The leading guitars used riffs, stops and the higher strings in a manner almost reminiscent of )ose Feliciano to make this very much a modern piece. The Quartet's success was underscored by their curtain call before the intermission. Oriental air The fifth work, by Ravel, bordered on jazz, soft, itself a expressing through quiet, after-the-crowd-is-gone mood. Through various passages, Ravel rejoices in the blues and produces an Oriental air by making use of the higher strings. A Mozart allegro, following the Ravel work, threw new light on the German master’s usually predictable patterns. The guitars wove a web of intertwined Battlestar wars? Not Just a rip-off, but a bad one super-imposition by Lawrence Tetewsky images of without any double exposing of the details, and their consistent in presence Galactica is inconsistent with the publicity claims. To be fair, there were a few well composed and executed scenes of ships strafing a city, but the concept was hardly "fresh and original, like something never before seen.” In a continuing effort to “entertain” the viewing audience, ABC, Universal Television and Glen Larson have offered up a contrived melange of glossy science fiction/fantasy cliches and polystyrene characters for the fall season. The only price we must pay for this $1,000,000 per hour spectacle is to ignore any resemblance between Battlestar Galactlca and 20th Century Fox’s 1977 feature release, Star Wars.

Two short pieces by Manuel De Falla demonstrated directly opposite approaches to music. The first left a timeless, dreamy, religious sense behind; the second, the most emotional piece of the evening, was rushed, forced; a miasma of anxiety and a possible comment on the composer’s anger. The Quartet was very skillful in adapting their musical and emotional mannerisms in the short space between the two compositions. A Milhaud piece entitled “Brazileria” was notable only for its somewhat unconventional emotions and colors expressed with entirely conventional techniques. The bass and rhythm could easily have been out of a Gordon Lightfoot song; the composer was forced to rely on artificial, mock-Spanish techniques to get his Latin concept across. The last work involved two pieces, once again by Ravel; the first quiet and meditative, the second a more modern, moving piece exploring the passage of time through tinny, high registers, the rapping of the guitar and an ending that body with the musician's knuckles sounded like a convention of Nashville pickers. The concert closed with what can best be described as musical impotence: a semi-standing ovation. Half the audience was on their feet applauding; the other half sat back. The ovation was certainly not an accurate of the Buffalo Guitar Quartet’s description performance; for that, several encores would have been required. If the chance ever presents itself, see the Buffalo Guitar Quartet in concert. It's an enlightening — experience. daughter and Cassiopea (Laurette Spang) the socialator, were originally introduced as having much more strength of character, but taking the easy way out by assigning them the jealous rivals tole is more Larson’s speed. By far the worst victims of character leeching were the enemy tylons. For a race of perfect fighting war robots, they were damned incompetent, lethargic and inefficient. Their Imperial Leader, never seen clearly, was never clearly defined as a robot or a living entity, though from his vocal intonation one must assume him to be some biological personality. The implications of .either alternative are never explored, and the viewers are too detached from the story to care when the details are presented. The directorial style of slap-dash assemblage of unrelated episodes to form a parallel editing sense (of simultaneous spatially displaced events happening) is not effective because there is no direct interaction of the aliens and the humans. The show also contains many obligatory nods toward fantasy and wild alien worMc but they are totally unrelated to the storyline, and are therefore meaningless interruptions for plpt show only, and not enhancement. Universal has created a $7,000,000 visual spectacle that is realty nothing to look at. Galactica can only be called great by tired viewers wht> are too hypnotized to care about what they’re watching. But Galactica is not indicative of Universal’s, or television’s creative potential. However, and unfortunately, it is the nature of television that the viewer gets what he pays for. — �■~n The force was with him Airwaves *o Robert Hunter drew out subtleties of Dead tunes by Andrew Ross rapport. The Pointless Brothers usually appear in small bars where the immediacy of their music (and humor) are best appreciated. In the Spartan and all too sober confines of "The Union’s" Fillmore Room, the Pointless Brother suffered from a noticeable lack of energy. Perhaps the Pointless Brothers should be viewed in their more natural setting. Grateful Dead Relix After a very brief intermission, Robert Hunter, sporting an acoustic guitar and Larry Klein, his bassist, took the stage. Hunter, an aged and somewhat balding survivor of San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury era is best known as the lyricist for one of America’s most enduring bands, the Grateful Dead. In collaboration with Jerry Garcia, Hunter composed the majority of that group’s material. Until three years ago, Hunter claimed that the demands of touring with the Grateful Dead kept him personally away from the road. After the release of two successful solo albums (Tales of the Great Rum Runners and Tiger Rose), he became more interested in a solo career. Hunter performed last year with the rock ensemble Comfort and-just recently ,opted to perform with a bassist. Hunter’s road manager explained that the lyricist wanted to try something different and that perhaps, a folkier sound would be better suited for what Hunter tries to accomplish in aconcert. As a singer, Hunter is not especially gifted; as a guitarist, he is competent, simple and often sloppy. What made Hunter’s performance successful was the energy and force he put into his songs; with energetic strumming and forceful singing, he accentuated the more meaningful lyrics in his'songs in a way similar to Dylan’s. As a friend said eloquently, "He sings those Grateful Dead songs as if he wrote them.” What my friend was alluding to is that there are meanings behind those somethat cryptic Grateful Dead lyrics, and when Hunter sang them, one got a new insight into their meaning. For instance, Hunter joined the lyrics of “Peggo-O” to 10-1:00: Marty Boratin "Regressive Rock!” 1-4:00: “D” Hartman plays Santana, Fleetwood Mac, Foreigner & more Friday, Oct. 6 10-1:00: Wall Lenard's “Soul Experience!" 1-4:00: Reggae Soul with Emmanual Pereira. 4-7:00' “Ramblin’ Russ” Ogman. 7-10:00: "Progressive Poop” with Scott Herr! 10-1:00; Music with Kate Williams; Pousette-Dart Band & Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter Adding force, meaning to well-known songs "Dire Wolf,” inferring that the two songs are interrelated, and perhaps, just pieces of an even larger puzzle. The song remains the same With the addition of Larry Klein on bass, Hunter (and Klein) performed a ninety minute set, presenting his lesser known material (from the two solo albums) during the first third of the show and generally sticking to material performed by the Grateful Dead (and Garcia) for the remaining portion of the set. Hunter performed material representative of the different periods in his career and the various styles his writing encompasses. “China Cat Sunflower” and “The Eleven” evoked illusions reminiscent of the Grateful Dead’s early psychadelic era. “Dire Wolf,” "Friend of the Devil,” “Sugaree,” "Wharf Rat” and “Truckin,” are all tales recorded in song form while "Ripple,” “Brokedown Palace” and "Attic of My Mfe” (all songs from the same time period) reveal the author in a more contemplative and poetic li$u. "U.S. Blues” and "Ramblin’ Rose” present tidbits of the Grateful Dead personna in relation to American post-pop culture while “Tiger Rose,” “Cats Under the Stars," "Peggy-O," and "Fire on the Mountain” are tunes written by Hunter and Garcia for their respective solo careers. The songs were arranged in a fashion similar to the Grateful Dead’s, with bassist Klein much of the time emulating the style of Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh; the duo’s sound reminded one of the Grateful Dead’s, without of course the added instrumentation. The show had marked peaks and lows, often related to how well known the songs were. Many people commented on the weakness of his voice and Hunter’s lack of guitar playing ability. Perhaps Robert Hunter's appeal was only an extension of the Grateful Dead’s rather than as a performer in his own right. Yet, in concert he had the ability and force to add new meaning to his well known songs. —Hear 0 Israel— For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 Hers'i Your Group or dub Coo Sink Thoir Tooth Into ...

Throughout the session, McLaughlin’s electric guitar radiates with an energy not felt since the demise of the original Mahavishnu Orchestra. The great significance of his recent years of cross-cultural acoustic explorations with Shakti is plainly obvious. The light is bright and warm. Each cut on the album offers different configurations of sidemen (primarily past associates) and a different contextual facet of the jewel. "New York on My Mind” finds original Mahavishnu Orchestra members violinist Jerry Goodman and drummer Billy Cobham, as well as keyboardist Stu Goldberg and bassist Fernando Sanders joining McLaughlin. The energy of a past flows through bright eyes of now and evermore. The closeness and mutual affection of McLaughlin and Carlos Santana manifests itself through the joyous anthem "Friendship.” Along with Michael Walden (another close associate), Neil Jason, Tom Coster, Alyrio Lima and Armando Peraza, McLaughlin and Santana’s mutual creativity far surpasses any of their previous joint efforts. "Every Tear From Every Eye” grows dry as a sun warms wet, wet skin. McLaughlin’s guitar feigns David Sanborn's alto and vice versa as both move in a sonorous Indian mime. Sensitive pianistics from Patrice Rushen delicately pastel each solo while waves of Alphonso Johnson’s fretless electric and Taurus bass pedals flow across drummer Tony Smith’s oceansAs on "Song to John” (from Stanley Clarke’s journey to Love ) McLaughlin, Stanley Clarke and Chick Corea join to conjour the spirit of a man whose mbsical energy had a more profound effect on them than that of any others. With drum wizard Jack Dejohnette, Corea, Clarke and McLaughlin ask of perhaps the greatest master ever John Coltrane "Do You Hear The Voices That You Left Behind?” The swinging up-tempo image of Coltrane’s “Giant Steps” is hot. One wonders (but do the record companies) why more such superb material isn’t released. The original Tony Williams Lifetime of almost ten years past was certainly a vital root of what was to become the Mahavishnu Orchestra revolution. Joined by JJfetimers drummer Tony Williams and bassist Jack Bruce, the McLaughlin guitar smiles of times past. One might call “Are You The One, Are You The One?” the happy tune of the date. What was naturally a phenomenon became a disheartening compulsion. Hence, an appropriate title for the McLaughlin-Billy Cobham duet is “Phenomenon; Compulsion.” It seems as though taste would preclude inclusion of this piece. (A purist statement?) As quite a contrast, “My Foolish Heart," a rarely recorded solo guitar performance by McLaughlin, is a pleasant, sensitive display of his diverse guitaristic prowess.

Contrary to popular concert tradition, the show opened punctually at 8, with the local bluegrass band, the Pointless Brothers. To use a worn joke, the Pointless Brothers are four musicians who are neither pointless nor brothers (actually two are brothers), performing bluegrass in a light-hearted manner. During their hour set they mixed traditional bluegrass favorites, such as "Foggy Mountain Breakdown” and "Aches of Love,” with their original material. Bluegrass is characterized by the use of high and clean harmonies supported by interesting yet simple mixes of acoustic string instruments.

In the fall of 1976, James Weinstein, who was to become editor and co-publisher of the new paper, M.K. Sklar, to become associate editor, and several other veterans of the ,1960s socialist left decided that the times were right for a new, progressive newspaper. As John Judis, /TT’s foreign news editor and political columnist (and one of the paper’s steady delights) said to me, "We saw the need for a newspaper that would provide a voice for democratic socialism in this country.” In the aftermath of the 1976 election, Weinstein and his colleagues began to collect contributions. With one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, the paper began publishing. In These Times, which calls itself "The Independent Socialist Newspaper,” rests on a solid but thin foundation, with a circulation of approximately fifteen thousand subscribers, and a Sponsors list which includes an impressive number of illustrious names from left, progressive politics: Noam Chomsky, Julian Bond, Eugene Genovese, Carey McWilliams, Slaughton Lynd, Jesse Lemisch, David Montgomery, and Barry Commoner arc among /TT’s sponsors. But, despite this indication of support, ITT suffers from a serious weakness shared by many other alternative activities a shaky financial statement. Although Judis expressed optimism over the paper’s capacity for growth, contributions and subscriptions are frequently urged upon /TV's small but appreciative readership. The left has often foundered upon internecine ideological struggles, and after the withering away of the anti war movement, many left activists despaired of building effective coalitions of radical and progressive forces which could organize around broad social and political issues. Into this void, In These Times stepped. Incisive, vibrant, eclectic, and far-ranging, despite its tight budget, ITT covers in depth an impressive spectrum of world and national news stories. ITT correspondents a seemingly loose network of liberals, socialists, whistle-blowers, and activists continually provide readers with a necessary exposure to stories too radical for the national press. They also present sides to major news items that are typically ignored or covered up by mainstream dailies: labor and minority perspectives, radical and progressive analyses. It is precisely the nature of this loose network that raises one serious problem for In These Times. In its impulse to forge a coalition of forces working towards democratic socialism, ITTs editorial policy appears to preclude any imposition of ideological purity on their stringers. And I think that policy correct. Such diversity encourages dialogue and dialectic; this is necessary and healthy. However, the quality of ITTs stories is widely diverse, and ideological rigidity and rhetoric may often blunt discussion. But, the editors seem to ask, who is righteously certain enough to decide who and what is to be protected and printed? ITT’s response it is only a response, for there are no solutions to this question is to accept all intelligent, honest analyses that attempt to contribute to a socialist - - - - — - understanding of the issues we face today. One low-key example of /7T’s acceptance of ideological struggle was generated last year by an article on the Cuban men’s basketball team, then touring this country. Anita Oiamant, editor of a Boston-based feminist paper Off Our Backs, extolled the Cubans as "symbols” of the Cuban Revolution. After her story appeared, readers responded, criticizing Diamant for seeing the men as symbols, rather than as people. In more serious veins, ITT covers, in depth, issues such as the struggles waged by textile workers to organize in the South, the fight for alternative energy sources, and the CIA involvement in Chilean politics. /TT's editorial stance is unique and worthy in its propagation of a humistically-based democratic socialism. The point deserves emphasis: In These Times stands for changes in the American social structure that would create a society in which women apd men could live fruitful, productive lives. The paper's values are politically human before they are abstractly theoretical. It is this concern for human values that keeps ITT open to the broad diversity of voices on the left. It is this ultimate concern for the quality of human life that relieves, for me, the tension of an occasionally poorly written article, or the rabid presentation. Historian Staughton Lynd lists, in the short blurb following his frequent column, his home address, inviting comments and responses from his readers. This is a socialism fighting constantly with the inequities of capitalism, armed with a vision of a democratic future based on human needs; and which is a practical vision towards which to work. ITT looks around us and ahead of us, trying to avoid the conflicts created by backward-looking debates over interpretations of historical policy. In These Times deserves support. Even if you are not a socialist, ITT's point of view is a responsible one and may enlighten you. One example; no other national journal presented such incisive commentary on the Sadlowski campaign for the presidency of the steel workers union. And its international coverage, particularly the work of Diane Johnstone and Mervyn Jones, offers necessary correctives to the news as presented by television and the national press. Less successful is the arts coverage; punk rock is revolutionary only to a point. Nor has ITT managed to satisfactorily answer the debate over the role of the artist in a progressive movement. .

Like the Piano man, Russell was not content solely as a musician and comedian and decided to carve his niche in political satire. Due to Watergate and various other scandals which have plagued the nation capital, Russell has had to alter his methods of gathering material. He now resorts to television to formulate his routine. “1 found congressional hearings stuffy there’s no elbow room and the parties aren’t what they used to be on the hill,” he said in an after show interview with The Spectrum. - Remains uncensored Russell utilizes live television to communicate to a broader audience, preferring live to tape in order to perserve his freedom and his material from the cutting room floor.

Getting treatment for 5 (he break, however, may cause 4 pain in another. Students who suspect they 5 have a broken bone cannot receive 7 treatment from University Health 4 Service. Health Service, located in | Michael Hall on the Main Street 0 Campus, acts only as a referral g> agency for the injured person. first step in the referral procedure, according to Director of University Health Service M, Luther Mussclman, requires the injured student be x-rayed. After diagnosis, the patient visits a private orthopedic doctor or one of the emergency rooms at a nearby hospital for treatment. Sounds simple, right? Although the procedure is clear cut, one fThe student found that clarity of the procedure is far from reality. After injuring his leg, Mike Cartusciello obtained x-rays at Millard Fillmore Hospital. He then went to Michael Hall to “seek advice and possible referral to an orthopedist.” were x-rays Cartusciello's diagnosed by a radiologist at Millard Fillmore as negative, but the pain in his ankle remained intense enough that he felt further medical attention was necessary. A nurse on duty in Michael Hall agreed and gave him a list of seven bone doctors in Buffalo. Unable to set up an appointment before the middle of October, a baffled Cartusciello called Michael Hall to explain his painful predicament. Health Service offered no other alternative, but to return to Millard Fillmore for another examination. Musselman explained that, “At times it is hard to set up an appointment with the private physician. Then the patient must resort to a hospital.” Chairman of the Orthopedics Mindell Eugene Department recommends that the student go to a hospital which has a resident orthopedist on duty. Erie County Health Care Comprehensive Center, Buffalo General and the Downtown Millard Fillmore all staff orthopedists. After Cartusciello returned to the hospital the second time he saw an orthopedist, rather than just have x-rays. The initial x-ray a was determined to be misdiagnosis and Cartusciello had his broken ankle set in a cast. One advantage of going to a hospital as opposed to a private physician, is that it is less costly for the patient. The initial emergency room visit to the Erie County Medical Center can cost the patient $30. Each additional visit to the clinic costs SIS. Prices of private physicians are higher although doctors refused to reveal their fees. The student health insurance offered at this University covers the first ten visits up to SIS a visit, if the student is referred by Health Service. Asked why SUNY Buffalo does not have x-ray facilities of its own.

SA Senate forum finds few students interested by Mitch Stenger Spectrum Staff Writer A scheduled Student Association (SA) Senate forum never developed because of too many empty seats. The meeting, held in Porter Cafeteria of the Ellicott Complex, was originally scheduled to give senate candidates an opportunity to air their opinions on vital student issues. Unfortunately, student attendance at the forum was sparse. Realizing the futility of speaking only to their competitors, the candidates chose not to deliver their speeches. The apiring student officials were surprised but not shocked by lack of student turnout. Candidate Louise Cayne, said, “1 didn’t expect a lot of people, but I expected more than this!” Independent candidate Alan Mark was particularly bothered by the apathetic showing. Referring to the basic ineffectiveness of SA to get people involved in student government, Mark stated, “the number of people here tonight speaks for itself.” No shows Saturday October 14, 8:30 pm - Regular prices The candidates’ lack of concern for the election equaled that of the students. Only four candidates were present from the beginning of the meeting and of the 13 dorm candidates, just eight wandered into the cafeteria sometime during the evening. The question of whether the forum was publicized enough was raised by many candidates. An Elections and Credentials (E&C) spokesperson indicated that “ads have been in The Spectrum for the past few issues and candidate campaigning should have stimulated interest too.” One person who did attend the meeting to hear the candidates speak was Michael Thau, a German exchange student. Previously involved in student politics, Thau was surprised and somewhat amused at the general apathy of the students here at UB. In comparison to his former student government, Thau felt that the UB government is too bureaucratic and that the distances between representatives and students are too large. Candidates agreed with this assessment and vowed to initiate activities to combat student unity and apathy problems. Sticky situation Party Ace representative Chuck Froelich expressed concern that “the Main Street, Commuter and Amherst factions of the student population were becoming more alienated against each other.” Froehlich hoped that such activities such as dorm parties for commuters would help alleviate this problerh. Alan Mark saw Food Service’s new policy toward large beer parties as a major problem. Mark, who is not affiliated with any faction, also felt the party system in elections is a mistake that allows for elections to be turned into popularity contests. Other candidates expressed dissatisfaction with E&C regulations. Several candidates cited the problem of obtaining the required election sticker as hindering the voting process. On major issues such as housing, bussing and library hours, all candidates agreed that active aggressive steps must be taken to ease these problems. Renaissance Party spokesman Patrick Young and Party Ace representative Joe Glavin both stressed the problem of the library cutbacks, emphasizing the need for increased library hours on the , Amherst Campus.

And — - indeed, Begin has subsequently asserted that Israeli armed forces will remain there in perpetuity. On the issue of settlements there was much confusion, some of it stemming from a mix-up of the two distinct documents. It is dear enough that, within the framework of the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt, the question of Israeli settlements in the Sinai will be determined shortly by the Israeli Knesset. Sadat has been adamant that such settlements must go. But in the document relevant to. the future of the West Bank and Gaza there is no mention whatever of settlements. The United States insists that its understanding is will be no new settlements on the West Bank following signing of the documents. But in his September 17th press conference.

There are about 780,000 Palestinian refugees who fled Israel in 1948. Some of these people went to Jordan; others to Lebanon. Then, in 1967, another major wave of Palestinian refugees, some 300,000, fled Israel, mostly for Jordan. There are now about 1.3 million Palestinians living on the West Bank and Gaza and upwards of a be half-million in Israel itself. The Camp David agreement appears to deal with only that group of Palestinian refugees displaced from the West Bank and Albany, facing widespread public sentiment against increased taxes (resulting from the Proposition 13 Of the $2.5 million requested by the University for these 90 faculty and 48 staff positions, the newly-approved Supplemental Budget allocates approximately $1.1 million. In addition, SUNY Buffalo will receive less than half of its $2.4 million request for the conversion of the Main referendum in California) with election year pressures staring them in the face. The version that passed Wednesday night had been worked out in conference between the Governor’s office along with Democrat and Republican leaders in both houses. The special session was prompted by New York City’s need to meet federal standards concerning its loan status. The first action taken Wednesday night conformed State requirements to Federal ones allowing New York City to market loans today with Federal guarantees to back them up. The Legislature also passed a bill granting the Urban Development Corporation (UDC) $461 million in new bonding authority. The appropriation is a “first instance” one, meaning the State anticipates being reimbursed for the expenditure. Other allocations for the University include approximately $4.4 million for site improvement, utilities and a fire control system at Amherst, and an additional funding for the College Work Study Program. The University did not receive $242,000 requested for multiplexing data communications services for computer terminals to replace the presently used telephone system. This request was edited out by SUNY Central along with the thus never $258,000 requested for bussing reaching the Legislature for consideration. “It makes no concessions whatever to Palestinian self-determination.

No matter how vehement their views, critics of the Camp David agreement we spoke to were inclined to believe that the accord would stick. They saw the framework not only as distasteful, but also as being nailed into place and likely to withstand assault. In the afterglow of the historic agreement, as in the afterglow of all historic or sacred missions; history becomes the propaganda of the victors, and the defeated are confined to alleyways secluded from the triumphal march.

A panoramic view of the University as well as downtown Buffalo and the Grand Island bridges can be expereieneed from this site. Various celestial bodies can also be observed and identified. Another section of the observatory is a tiny dome-covered room dominated by a massive telescope. At night, the room becomes bathed in darkness and the dome is opened for viewing. The telescope offers endless viewing possibilities, ranging from planets to specific stars and constellations. Various facilities make it possible to experience such things as the movement of the earth. Public nights at the Observatory are on Fridays from 8 p.m. to p.m., providing the sky is clear. Volunteers manning the 12 observatory provide viewing material and answer any questions. One of the main goals of those involved with the observatory is to instill or further interest in astronomy.

Evidently, the invitation list is open. “It’ll be free to students,” said Dannell Torppe, a publicity spokesman. “You’ll just have to wear a toga.” Although college audiences thus far figure prominently in Animal House's demographics, Universal apparently feels the $50,000-plus toga promotion is needed.

But g. besides the tudes, Bugouts, Hacks, Pointers, and the test of an array of not so typical football team names, there was one which stuck out in «■ the crowd: Tolchoks. Tolchoks is a veteran team with a lot of talk and a little bit of i class. But talk doesn't score TD’s, and Tolchoks proved that they were more than talk as they romped over the Faces, 30-0. Tolchoks’ key is team play. “We feel the whole game of football is teamwork,” stated offensive lineman and tight end Harold Kobakof. The Tolchoks squad razzled Faces with well planned handoffs and pass patterns to combine for an excellent game. “And we took it easy on them,” added wide receiver John “Savage” Wilson. ” OVER HIS HEAD:'General Parens lived up to their name on Wednesday in Intramural Football when they were paralyzed 21-0 by Wesley's Wild Bunch.

By the end of the first half, they had pushed the score up to 12-0. Genera) Paresis’ overall blocking was not very effective, but they made up for it in interceptions and pass defense. On two occasions, long passes into the end zone were deflected or knocked out of bounds. Many passing plays which would have resulted in touchdowns were expertly broken up. After being stopped once on a good defensive play. Quarterback Joe Oliver connected on a short pass in the end zone for a 6-0 lead. Bruce Wagner got the second TD on a similar pass, making it 12-0 at the half. The second half was practically a replay of the first. Player ejected General Paresis got a bad break midway into the half. One of its players had been arguing an offsides call by the referee. Amid much shouting, which held up the game for several minutes, the player, who wished to remain unidentified, was ejected from the game. After the game resumed. Wagner scored Wesley’s final touchdown on a long run into the end zone. He also got a safety for three points, making the game a 21-0 rout for Wesley’s Wild Bunch. Possibly one of the most exciting plays of the game occurred shortly before the final touchdown was scored. A quarterback far General Paresis tipped a pass intended for Wagner, who was almost in the end zone. It was tipped by three other Wesley players, and then fell out of bounds.

The win improved seasonal record to 4-1,' second only to Rochester who defeated UB last week 6-3. Fredonia Buffalo’s Buffalo won all their singles matches in routine style, with only one match going three sets. Top man Todd Miller started off the Buffalo massacre by crushing his opponent very quickly and easily 6-1, 6-0 in a match in which he barely broke a sweat! Miller’s opponent double faulted often and was never able to sustain any kind of a volley with Todd. “By playing these k\nds of matches, it’s very difficult to stay sharp for the upcoming tough competition,” Miller stated. Number two man Ted Baughn disposed of his rival as quickly as Miller did, easily routing his Fredonia opponent by the same 6-1, 6-0 score. Baughn utilized his fine serve in winning every game and almost every point which he served. “I was very surprised at how close he stood inside the baseline;” Baughn said laughingly. “At that distance he had almost no chance of returning any kind of decent serve.” Jon' Schneps, playing number three for the departed Ray LePort, was xtended to three sets in winning 6-2, 6-7, 6-1. Schneps second set difficulties were caused by unforced errors coming off his net volleys and a simple slowness afoot The other two as sets Schneps played originally expected, dominating with deep, well placed groundstrokes. f w 3 Bill Kaiser, the fourth singles player, quickly made the overall score 4-0, displaying a very strong serve and volley game in winning 6-4, 6-2. Kaiser encountered some difficulty from his opponent’s very strong forehand, but compensated with strong net play. Kaiser, number five man Dave Meyers, and sixth player Bob Ellenbogen all served very well, remarkable, considering the strong winds on the Amherst courts, which made play very difficult. Meyers won an easier match than the score 5-4, 6-4 indicates, using strong, hard hit groundstrokes which he said, “I was forced to hit all the time due to the hard wind.” Ellenbogen, playing eaily his best match of the combined dynamite serves with well hit year, groundstrokes and finely placed net volleys in routing his opponent 6-1,6-2. His win completed the singles sweep and caused coach Tom LaPenna to add, “I’ve been working my players very hard, and our matches are showing that it’s paying off.” With the score 6-0, UB coach Tom LaPenna decided he was going to test new doubles combinations. With the big lead, LaPenna let some other players experience the type of game doubles offers. The result was the loss of two of the three doubles matches to Fredonia. In first doubles Ellenbogen replaced Miller and teamed with Bill Kaiser. Both played well considering they had never played together before, in winning the first set 6-4. Unfortunately, after that they fell apart, losing the two final sets 6-1, 6-4. Buffalo was very sharp in second doubles but lost a close match in third as UB’s inexperience was the deciding factor. Royals roll to second victory The U3 women’s tennis team crushed Alfred 7-0 Tuesday at the Amherst cocrts. The closest the Saxons came to beating UB was a 7-6 loss in the first set of the first singles match. The Royals swept all 14 sets; even April Zolczer’s winning game was a sweep. Zolczer took a 5-0 tiebreaker from Susan Joyce in her 7-6 win. Playing first singles again, Zolczer changed her style of play in earning her two-set victory. “I kept the ball in play today,” she said. “I was stroking the ball better, mixing it up, instead of going for winners all the time.” She also played smartly, keeping the ball away from Joyce’s powerful forehand, instead going to her weak backhand. The Buffalo sweep had several interesting side notes. For example, UB coach Connie Camnitz continued to experiment with her doubles combinations. Judy Wisniewski teamed with Lynne Kirchmaier at first doubles and Kris Schum with Linda Stidham at second doubles. The switch University certainly paid dividends, as Wisniewski-Kirchmaier cruised to a 6-2, 6-0- decision, the same score by which Schum-Stidham won. In the third singles match, Heidi Juhl restored her confidence with a fast 6-1, 6-0 win. Yet she couldn’t explain why she had such an easy time. “It was just the way she played,” the freshman quipped. Meanwhile, teammate Dee Dee Fisher took care of second singles opponent Helen Stones in about an hour, winning 6-0, 6-1. It seemed the Alfred player was short or long on every return, while Fisher “put it all together,” including an excellent drop shot and an exceptionally accurate backhand. The sixth point (Alfred forfeited fifth singles) was earned by senior Kaitee Jung, who made her season debut successful by taking a 6-2, 6-1 match. Jung had been on the as a freshman, but did not rejoin the varsity until this year, as her biochemical pharmacology major demands a full schedule. This season, though, she’ll stick around, “I’ll play even if it kills me,” she said. Camnitz was very pleased with the team’s performance, needless to say, but she was not impressed. “We’re just getting out act together,” she stated, implying that the Royals can improve even on their 7-0 washout. ECAC DIVISION III PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jim Rodriguez, who quarterbacked the Bulls to their 3B-31 victory over Brockport, was named the co-winner*as player of the week in the ECAC Division III. Rodriguez had thrown for 407 yards on 31 for 55 in three games this season and hopes to improve his mark tomorrow when the Bulls challenge Waynesburg State College in Pennsylvania.

The attack occurred at approximately 9:30 p.m. The coed was dragged 150 yards from behind Goodyear to a dark area between the residence hall and the Main-Bailey parking lot. Director of University Police Lee Griffen described the suspect as a white male about six feet tall, brown hair, medium build and wearing a blue down vest over flannel shirt, jeans, red and green ski hat and gloves. The student was found by a Dr. and Mrs. Daves who according to Griffen had just left a recital at Baird Hall. Moments later two officers arrived at the scene and comforted the victim. She was later taken to the Erie County Medical Center for observation and was released later that evening. The attack was the second this semester. A female jogger on the Amherst Campus was attacked by a masked male ti few weeks ago although Griffen was quick to indicate that the suspect had different characteristics than Sunday’s assailant. Griffen said, “we are very fortunate at that such incidents are minimal. We have a lot of unsubstantiated rumors which can spread like wildfire, but there is no reason for a state of paranoia to exist on campus.” Co-coordinators of the UB Anti-Rape Task Force Shaari Neretin and Amy Tobol were quick to disagree with Griffeirr “A certain amount of paranoia is necessary to make people- aware of the problems facing female students,”'they commented. Neretin pointed out that we can never be “over-concerned about the problem of female assault. Students here are not aware of any danger, and it is our job to raise women’s consciousness and introduce them to reality.” University Housing officials expressed concern for the victim but as yet they have not instituted any additional precautions. Director of Housing Madison Boyce said, “the incident occurred in an area outside Housing and all that we could do in any such incidents would be for our staff or students to call for help or call University Police." The dorm staff has begun working in coordination with the Rape Task Force. Clement Hall Head Resident Laura Meyers indicated, “there will be an individual rape awareness workshop this week and hopefully in the wake of this incident it should be well attended." Meyers also commented that “many students believe that we live here in a fantasy world and this is a fallacy. The belief in this fallacy is unfortunate. We must attempt to make students aware of what is occurring.” All resident advisors have been given a description of the suspect and have been asked to inform their floor 'members of the problem,” said Main Street Area Coordinator Denisse Jackson. Griffen said that University police are investigating the incident and information, as always, will be accepted in strictest confidence.

Limited spaces in gym courses and an unrestrictive enrollment policy that admits all students regardless of whether they need gym courses to graduate throw the policy’s feasibility into heavy doubt. Conversations with officials in the department of Recreation Athletics and Related Instruction (RARI) and the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) reveal that, although the policy has been changed and re-evaluated a number of times since May of 1977, never has it been proven logjstically possible. The University appears to be relying on the “gut feeling” of various officials in maintaining that the two-credit requirement is implementable. “If you try to look at it arithmetically and logically, it looks like we can’t do it,” admitted former Acting Dean of Undergraduate Education Walter Kunz, “but we’ve done it in the — — couldn’t graduate because of the requirement. * � � * * Through calculations Esposito would later claim were inaccurate, RARI officials began suspecting in May of 1977 that, beginning with the Fall 1977 semester, the department would have increased difficulty handling the demand for courses gym and accommodating students wishing to fulfill their two-credit gym requirement.

Carter, the former submarine officer, opposes these expensive floating dinosaurs. And recently he scored probably his biggest poup with Camp David Perhaps his intense moralizing with frequent allusions to Christ and God, and his benedictions before important decisions have fostered some insecurities about whether Carter bases his decisions more on spiritual intuition and conversations with the Lord than on facts and realities. But these are insecurities unjustified. Though Carter is a man of great conviction and integrity, of deeply held moral beliefs, this need not hamper him.

Student ignorance or lack of caution is compounded by an academic climate that encourages who do not expect non-majors to commit themselves to technical expertise in disciplines outside their field to sample different areas, including laboratory work. Spectrum The disaster that is Love Canal has revjved public interest in environmental management, particularly in the areas of chemical and biological hazards. Hazardous wastes are chemical leftovers which may impair human health or the natural environment when not properly controlled. At this University the Health Sciences, Natural Sciences and Engineering Departments generate hazardous wastes daily according to Director of University Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Robert Hunt. Waste control in research and lab work is undergraduate primarily achieved by separating different wastes within the the most laboratory. But important component of a safe laboratory according to Dupont Durst, head of the Chemistry Department’s safety committee, is a towards proper attitude chemicals one of cautious respect. - — Disposing wastes . Toxic wastes are collected at least every six months, but more often as needed, according to Hunt. A complex inventory and monitoring system insures proper disposal and safety precautions. First, wastes are separated by phase liquid or solid. Durst said the majority of wastes are “solvents” or chemicals used to dissolve other compounds. Solvents are further separated into chlorinated hydrocarbons and aromatic solvent. Chlorinated and other halogenated solvents must be disposed of separately. Both liquid and solid wastes are carefully packaged, said Durst. “Used solvents are contained in the original fifty-five gallon drums they arrived in,” he explained, “Solid wastes are packed in metal or plastic containers and put in larger boxes that are filled with vermiculite.” “All wastes are inventoried as they are packed to be disposed SNARLED ACT: Seventy percent of the money needed to revamp Grover Cleveland Highway, above, is currently tied up in a Congressional subcommittee that is trying to work out differences between House and Senate versions of the Highway Act.

If you are like many other writers who sometimes get frustrated at that first stage when trying to get their “idea juices” flowing onto paper, you might try a strategy known as “free writing”. The instructions for free writing are simple: force yourself to write for ten solid minutes without stopping; don’t let your pen or pencil leave the paper; don’t stop to cross anything out or to correct the spelling of a word just keep writing; write out anything that crosses your mind; if you can’t think of anything, keep writing “I can’t think of anything to write” or “I’m stuck,” until something else pops into your head. By the time ten minutes have passed, you’ll have a sheet of paper filled with writing that wouldn’t normally have been there ( you might also have an aching wrist and fingers after the first time). One advantage of your free writing is that it permits promising ideas to flow out onto paper that may otherwise have been censored in your head and lost forever. Another advantage is that it gets you over the first hurdle of filling a blank page with some writing. The next stage is to read back through your free writing (whether it's a single one or a series of them) and underline some phrases or sentences that are particularly striking, some that could be developed into whole paragraphs or essays. In some cases, you'll find patterns, relationships that exist among several of your underlined free write ideas. Also, once you’re comfortable with free writing as an “idea starter”, you can try “focused” or “directed” free writing, in which you write for ten or fifteen minutes on a specific subject (a childhood incident, a movie you’ve seen recently) that you have in mind s — - beforehand. Although much of your free writing will seem to be nonsensical, even garbage writing, I think you’ll find it a useful technique to generate writing ideas when nothing else seems to work.

While Kaplan’s endeavors are all astoundingly successful, many a student at one time or another has questioned the success of the course itself.

This race has widespread importance for the University community since the Amherst Assemblyman represents the distriet in which UB is the major employer and local taxpayer. The candidates, incumbent G. James Fremming (D-C) and John B. Scheffer II (R), mayor of Williamsville, share similar ideas on the major issues in this campaign; Amherst Campus construction, the economy, state government and taxes. In separate telephone interviews, the candidates offered these issues as being the most important, and afterwards expressed strikingly similar views on them. Both candidates agreed that completion of the Amherst Campus is of .prime importance both to the University and to Western New York. They agreed that UB plays a significant role in the area economy. Both Scheffer and Fremming felt that it is vitally important to get the economy moving, chiefly through incentives to and action by the and by keeping a tight lid on private sector business and industry taxes. Fremming is proud of what has been accomplished so far this year in state pledges for Amherst construction. He believes that the building freeze has finally been broken, that more and more funds will be released at a faster pace. Scheffer commented that Carey’s August promise of almost $50 million for new construction is only a small part of what should be done. He sees this action as “nothing but election year gimmickery” by Carey and Fremming. “They are offering too little, too late,.” Scheffer - The closing of this food service area \ - said. Fremming stated that two state projects that he was connected the Job Incentive Program, giving tax credits to new or expanding industry, and the Job Development Authority, selling have provided the municipal bonds to business at low interest rates inducements necessary for growth in the area economy. Scheffer blamed the growth of the state bureaucracy for usurping local authority and initiative. “The Assembly is too New York City oriented. We (WNY get stepped on,” he claimed. The answer, as he sees it, is to put “a cap on state mandates. We should be telling them what to do.” Fremming claimed he has never voted .for a raise in taxes in his four years as assemblyman. Scheffer did not dispute this, but said “taxes have been steadily increased, and only in an election year is there a tax cut.” Both candidates are optimistic about victory,. Fremming is relying on his incumbency and campaign organization to get reelected, while Scheffer is depending on the Republican majority in the district for with that the Snack Bar in in the basement of Goodyear is open for service on Sundays, from 10 am to 7 pm — — victory. -Paul Privitera �tesdaywed n esd aywed n esdaywed n editorial To build strong buildings Through our elementary and secondary educations, we were led to believe mandatory physical education had a purpose, inherent in its name and in our educators' desires to build strong bodies as well as strong minds. Now, we learn as college students that gym course requirements have a new purpose to build strong buildings. The Division of Undergraduate Education, the Faculty Senate, and the Department of Recreation, Athletics and Related Instruction (RARI) have collectively decreed that two credits of gym are a vital part of an undergraduate education; vital because without them, Albany might suspect that we really don't need that new Amherst physical education complex we've been needing since UB became SUN YAB. Never mind that RARI has never shown itself capabaleof handling the demand such a requirement will eventually pose; never mind that the requirement has been waived for some students, but not others; never mind that no one has ever suggested that the requirement should serve some sort of educational or body-building purpose; never mind that some students who have no interest in taking gym scramble for spots while other students who would love to take gym are closed out, or vice versa; never mind that the University has not the faculty or staff to make most gym courses small enough and well equipped enough to actually hold some value for the enrollees. Never mind all those problems that make required gym a blatant absurdity we must build that gym, our peerless leaders say. Well, we are not even sure that the curious "build the gym" excuse holds any water. Phase I, the new fieldhouse, has always been at the top of the State's priority list for construction and bids are already out for its foundation and steel structure. So we seemed to have convinced Albany there. Phase II, which contains the actual gymnasium space we need, is admittedly on more tenuous ground but where is the logic in requiring two credits of gym to firm up the building plans? We suspect that, with a little imagination and slick promotion, gym courses could be made attractive enough and available enough to be completely filled by students who would volunteer for a little exercise and/or instruction. Arbitrarily adopting mindless requirements is surely the easiest and quickest way to insure heavy demand, but is it the best? What does the University say to the student who would rather learn how to turn a potter's wheel, but instead must cram into his schedule a crash course in weightlifting? And then there is the buffoonery behind the requirement's adoption: Former Acting Dean Walter Kunz' calculations that overestimated space in gym sections by 100 percent; a Faculty Senate subcommittee's "qualitative" judgements dominating a decision that is purely quantitative; RARI Chairman Sal Esposito's "gut feelings" that in May of 1977 led him to argue for a one-credit requirement, but five months later saw him two two ..the total absence of commanding: "two any empirical research to support the conclusion (or prayer) that the gym requirement can be handled by RARI staff and facilities; and so on.

I have come up with the most practical solution to the Bluebird bus difficulties. First of all, everyone should realize that Hamilton Loop and Flint Loop are right behind each other; to walk to either one is just about the same distance. This is actually an adaptation of a method Bluebird used for a short time last year. The buses going to the Main Street Campus should stop in Flint Loop and the ones going towards the Ellicott Complex should stop at Hamilton Loop. Utilizing this method will eliminate confusion as to where the buses are headed, lower crowding on bus stops and shorten the bus trip by a couple of minutes (saving unnecessary gas as well). It's so simple and pratical, I can’t see how it can be overlooked. Drew Reid Kerr Bluebird: Number One? To the Editor. Hamilton. Fantastic! This past Monday evening after a stimulating session in the Law Library, I wandered out into the pouring rain to the Flint Loop bus stop, to catch a Blue Bird to Ellicott. Approximately ten others were waiting along with me. As the bus rolled up we could see that it was fairly full. Much to my disbelief I was the sixth person in line and I got to the second step when the “gentleman” driving the bus would not let the rest of us on. Terrific! In the meantime I decided to catch the same bus at Hamilton Loop, after he had stopped at Governors’. Well, the s.o.b. didn’t even stop at After walking back in the rain to Ellicott, 1 happened to see my “buddy” in the tunnel. 1 went up to the bus to find out why he skipped Hamilton. The reply was “I was full to the white line.” Well, he was full at Flint, let off people at Governors (which he told me) and yet was so full he couldn’t stop at Hamilton! I then took out my frustrations by getting into a verbal match with this schmuck. It was no contest. Wet and weary I trampled back to my room only to chalk up another experience to Bluebird. Thanks a lot guys, you’re number one in my book. Morey Pollack for Bluebirds To the Editor Wednesday, 27 September 1978 Editor-in-Chief To the Editor Common sense The Spectrum Vol. 29, No. 19 Me—A psych, stat. lab delinquent? The light begins to dawn and as usual lack of funds appears to be at the root of the matter. Everyone is complaining about the buses and according to a The Spectrum article, the problem stems from the fact that the University is low on funds for this service. Thus, on the surface, the problems seem to be understandable.. However, the essential problem of lack of money has been compounded by human error as magnified by a computer. Having spoken to many students and bus drivers about the situation, it has become obvious that changes within the system should be made. I want to propose some common sense suggestions for easing the situation. I) Change the schedule. As it was set up by the computer, the buses are given 25 minutes to run from Main to Amherst or visa versa. This is quite simply not enough time due to the number of stops and traffic conditions. As a result the buses are never on schedule which affects students with limited time to get to classes. A schedule that cannot be kept is not a schedule. 2) Eliminate one of the loops on the Amherst Campus. Most of us have had the frustrating experience of standing in Flint Loop wanting to go to Main St. as eight buses go by headed for Ellicott. The problem could be solved by having buses going to Elhcott stop in Flint Loop and not in Hamilton and buses going to Main St. stop in Hamilton but not in Flint. Then if a student wanted to go to Main he could wait in Hamilton and if he was going to Ellicott he would wait in Flint. This process would also shave a small amount of time off the too narrow schedule. 3) Make several buses expresses. This is especially needed in the morning. The Service Road at Ellicott becomes the site of a daily battle for room on a bus. This could be alleviated in part by having several expresses to provide a quicker turnover and get more students out faster. The value of these suggestions is that none of them require an increase in the budget. Of course it would be nice if we could have more buses, but if we can’t the buses we have should be used in the most efficient way possible. Finally I believe that students and others who ride the buses should make an effort not to take their frustrations with the system out on the drivers. The problems are not their fault. They are all too often caught between Blue Bird which threatens them with their jobs if they overload or exceed the speed limit and the University which makes demands on them that are impossible to fulfill without overloading and breaking the speed limits. The man to complain to is Roger McGill at 4230 Ridge Lea, 831-1476. Leave your complaint on the tape recorder and he will get it. The only way to change this system is to complain loudly. Sign the petitions, call Roger McGill and write The Spectrum. something will change before the snow flies. ... Raymond Magagna �feedback esdaywednesdaywednesday The joys and woes Abortion: Sub Board’s reasoning To the Editor. Mandatory student health insurance made its appearance here at SUNYAB as a solution to several disturbing problems. First and foremost among these was to protect the student from unexpected medical costs which might interfere with that person’s ability to continue his education. The University its elected student community, through representatives and administrative officials, have legitimate this consistently upheld as a responsibility, from the time of its proposal by members at Sub Board I, an agent of the student government. During the past few years, this country has seen a tremendous controversy concerning the abortion issue. No one can deny that an unwanted pregnancy can be an impediment to the obtaining of a higher education, at the very least. No one can deny that, if an abortion is required, it should be performed using modern medical procedures in an appropriately equipped setting. The ethical and moral issues, while far from being settled to everyone’s satisfaction, woman’s right to an abortion. Sub Board 1 had taken all these factors into consideration when deciding on an appropriate insurance policy to be made available to students. currently favor Abortion, legally available, is to be considered as a service that may be rendered, if required, just as other medical services are provided to those in need. This insurance policy, in which relevance in coverage to students and a moderate premium were considerations in design, is a means to lessen the financial impact on the student, and provide some security against unforeseen circumstances. Mandatory insurance does not imply that this particular student-sponsored policy is required; proof of some type of health insurance is all that is asked. Abortion coverage is not one of the minimal criteria used to judge if an ‘outside’ policy satisfies the intent of the student body. All persons should consider themselves free to avail themselves of insurance that satisfies all their requirements. No student should be forced by this student government to commit acts that contradict their moral code. A functioning waiver policy allows choice on the part of students. The nature of group insurance does not allow individuals to pick portions of the package of coverages they prefer. Sub Board has met its commitment, to provide one possible alternative. a Brian Weiner, Director Health Care Division Sub Board I Abortion: congratulations To the Editor. Congratulations to Sub Board 1, Inc. for abortion coverage inclusion in Student Health Insurance. Right to Lifers seem to ignore the premise that the rights of the already-living have priority over a fetus incapable of sustaining independent life. An unwanted child is often an unloved, abused child. Few college women have the financial freedom and the time to carry a child to term and then go This is my first year at UB. I’ve been here all of 344 weeks and already my rights are being violated and my morals ignored. Why do I, most strongly opposed to abortion, have to pay for what I see as murder? Why aren’t I at least given a choice? But, say the powers that be, you can always buy another policy. Another policy? I just got here. I just found out where Main Street is and how to cope with bus schedules. Where do I find another policy? Where do I begin to look? Then letters to the editor in The Spectrum tell me another policy would be far too costly anway, so I might as well forget it. I read the front page of The Spectrum today. There was an article on the plight of the libraries I have read with a curious mind, the assortment of articles connected with the abortion issue. You all seem to have forgotten one extremely important perspective; the anxious ridden life of the living dead, I have heard nary a whisper of the the will psychological complications child undoubtedly fall upon being forced into the arms of an angry and hostile mother. Rejection, it is quite an experience. The young mothers’ life has suddenly been mapped out for her. She is forced to quit school and get a job because of an intense moral obligation to keep the child. Future career-minded plans have suddenly been terminated. Hostility and regret are elevated in an attempt to pacify the mind. An infant’s psyche is as vulnerable and fragile as the infant itself. This tiny, delicate being cannot comprehend life on an analytical level, but he can experience positive emotion. Loving care is one such emotion. The child knows when it is fed on time, or when dinner is an hour late. He knows when his bottom is powdered dry, or when he must sit in rash-producing diapers. soggy, He has two completely formed, fully funcitoning ears. He is able to hear the voice in the other room reacting positively or negatively to his cries of helplessness and discomfort. He is developed enough to comprehend these voiced motives in a true sense of reality. through the trauma of giving up a baby for adoption. Personally, I would find it terrible to have to kill my child by abortion. But I don’t have the right to make the decision that would prevent some other woman whose only option for survival would be this choice. Birth control is far better. But when unwanted pregnancy occurs, abortion should be an option. You are to be commended for this coverage. Nancy Schnabel-Roberts There is a game being played, and an unfair one at that. The rules have not been correctly followed. A stable game of life requests that there be three active players in its early stages. In most cases of young pregnancy, the mother and child are alone to fight their way past GO. Ah yes, adoption is an alternative. This may prove a success if the infant is lucky enough to be immediately placed in a loving home. In this circumstance he may be able to forget in time, that his “real” parents had decided to give him away. We critics should perhaps alter our attacks from the abortion issue to the irresponsible (of age) girl who absentmindedly forgets her pill, inadequately uses her diaphram, or aimingly uses no protection at all. It is this same immature girl who in nine months, will suddenly be introduced to the joys of motherhood. It all seems a matter of chance. Abortion: no controversy? To theJSditor. To the Editor. Rosemary Warner here. Next, they promise, will be an article with possible solutions. Yet, when the morality of the students is being brushed under the carpet, they take opposing the proclaiming side, themselves pro-choice, while we against the abortion coverage have no choice. ■ What can we do? Protest by not paying? What happens then when we are sick and need the benefits of the health insurance policy? Why must we suffer for what we feel is right? I am angry and frustrated. I ask all those who feel as I do not to let themselves be trampled on. And I ask those who do not feel the way we do not to let their fellow students be treated this way. What do you mean “no controversy?” A quick response to “Abortion Charge What a ripoff” from a letter to the Editor by Larry Bergus. You mentioned in your letter that men should not have to pay for something they don’t want, an abortion clause in the health policy. Men don’t need an abortion clause . . . Also, women are not so easily reduced to a small minority of the population, be they paying students or not. Justene Adamec S. Elaine Sharp Abortion: the male need To the Editor — Governor's weekend blues To the Editor. We the people of Governor’s Residence Halls are sick and tired of having to go over to lillicott to get food service on weekends. Food Service is not that good on week-days, and we should not be subjected to this further inconvenience on weekends. Why should Richmond and Red Jacket both be used when there is no food service in Governors? Does it not seem fairer and more reasonable to have at least one location at Governors? It is bad enough that we have to take a bus to ' Fllicott, just to eat, then wait for another bus back to Governors .in our present “bearable” weather situation. But imagine, if you even dare to, the same predicament in our “great Buffalo winters.” We do not even care to imagine this. By expressing our views in this manner we can to raise a few eyebrows, and call attention only to our plight.

But the sad part is that only 3,300 fans mw the'game. That does not say much for a school of 25,000 people. After the game, Larry Rothman was talking to Dave Davidson of The Spectrum, telling him how much he and the team enjoyed the applause of the fans when they held Brockport on third down and forced them to punt. But the majority of the noise was coming from the section of the stands containing “The 8th floor of Goodyear, TKE, and the Tampon Bay Bushmen.” The noise coming from them is more than can be expected, and what is coming from the rest of the stands is adequate. But the problem comes from the 4,700 empty seats at Rotary. These seats should be filled. If these seats were filled, they could have yelled encouragement to the defense and maybe would have made the last minute heroics unnecessary. The student body (not to mention professors and all other UB employees) have to start coming out to support the football Bulls. Last year people were calling for the dismissal or resignation of UB President Robert Ketter, but even Ketter showed up for the game. He does show some interest in UB despite popular belief. Next week the Bulls are playing in Wayuesburg, Pa., which might be hard to get to, but after that they play Canisius in the Buffalo area and a big UB turnout would be nice. As manager I see the team practice every day and I am sure that there is nothing that would make the team happier (other than wins) than to see an SRO crowd on Oct. 14 when UB takes on Albany St. in the Homecoming Game. come out and support your ■So, come on UB football team.

In order to justify their actions, the state fed lies to the new media during and after the uprising. During the uprising, a guard William Quinn was killed. The state initially claimed that Quinn had been thrown out of a two-story window, despite the - of prisoners, while the crimes of the state were to be covered up. By the end of 1974, there had been one acquittal and six dismissals. The prosecution’s destruction of evidence had been exposed, and its witnesses had been rfiown to be ineffective, As prosecution misconduct accumulated, public protest continued to grow. In 1975, though, the prosecution came forward with its most carefully staged case. William Quinn was the only guard that died at Attica who could be conceivably linked to the prisoners. The prosecution chose two young Native Americans as Dacajewiah and Charley Joe scapegoats, Pernacilice. The trial attracted national attention, and support for the two continued to grow. Despite this, Charley Joe was convicted of attempted second degree assault, and John Hill was convicted of first degree murder. Charley Joe was soon released on bail pending appeal, but Dacajeweiah was sentenced to twenty-to-life, and sent to Greenhaven Prison. Three days after the conviction. Assistant Attica Prosecutor Malcolm Bell resigned, protesting the cover-up of official crimes at Attica. Bell had submitted a 160 page report outlining a number of a group On Thursday, September 28, the Buffalo Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression will be showing the fibn Attica, a documentary by Cinda Firestone which reveals the conditions which led to the bloody massacre the 1971 prison uprising itself and the aftermath. Michele Hill, who is the sister of John Hill, the only former inmate still in prison as a result of the Attica uprising, will be speaking at the film’s conclusion. John Hill, who prefers to be called by his Indian name, Dacajewiah, is presently serving a twenty-to-life sentence on murder charges stemming from the 1971 rebellion. Despite state claims that “the books are closed on Attica”, Dacajewiah remains the scapegoat for the atrocities committed by armed troopers in Attica. The Attica story began on September 9, 1971, when 1,282 men imprisoned in New York State’s Attica Correctional Facility demanded decent food and soap, an end to slave labor, and an end to the dehumanizing and repressive conditions all over New York State. The prisoners held some men as hostages, issued their list of demands, and awaited the arrival of Corrections Commissioner Russel Oswald. Oswald arrived at Attica with an Observers Committee comprised of journalists, politicians, and community leaders. Former Governor Nelson Rockefeller did not attend. Commissioner Oswald, with prior approval of Governor Rockefeller, ordered state troopers to Strom the prison. Over 2000 bullets were fired at unarmed men in D-Yard, - fact that the windows were barred. John Hill was singled out as the inmate that killed Quinn, and was subsequently convicted in 1975. A Correction Officer named Don Melvin, stated, however, that he saw a group of prisoners “smash Quinn on the forehead with a heavy stick or board.” This statement by Melvin was contained in the Albright-Vesner Report, which was kept secret for seven years. It has also been revealed that then Governor Nelson Rockefeller had this report on his desk for ten months before the famous McKay Commission issued its own report in September 1972. Also contained in this important document are statements by hostages about the takeover and recapture of the prison during the riot, an analysis of the shooting by weapons and location, and information concerning the cause of the forty-three deaths. Aside from suppressing the Albright-Vesner Report, Rockefeller took political control of the criminal prosecution which followed the rebellion. A special Attica Prosecution Office was set up headed by Robert Fischer, a long-time Rockefeller law enforcement associate. The collection of evidence was placed in the hands of police, led by Capt. Henry Williams, who had commanded the Attica assault force which had done the shooting at the prison. The State Police, while investigating the assault, destroyed pertinent evidence that could have been used against them. The Special Attica Grand Jury which was set up to hear evidence concerning the uprising was comprised of white rural neighbors and friends of Attica guards and troopers. Soon after, forty-two indictments were brought against sixty-two prisoners. However, there were no indictments of guards or troopers involved in the massacre. The purpose of the prosecution had become clear. The blame for Attica was to be put on Strange, isn’t it? The fact that movies in the modern age are made in both vision and sound? That the producers of them intend for us 1.0 hear as well as see them? That they actually put words in? You’re actually meant to hear them. Well, if that’s what you want, don’t go to a movie at IRC. You won’t hear anything but stupid loudmouths revealing scenes in advance, or making worthless comments all through the movie. Even the IRC staff talked too loud at one point. And whatever you do, don’t say anything about it to them, or you’ll be suddenly asked if you belong there, even if you paid a long time ago their fee for staying. Staying for what? According to one of their officers, IRC couldn’t possibly be expected to ask the inconsiderate crowd of kindergarten mentality to let us who want to, watch a complete movie. What are we paying $1.50 for just visual effects? If I had stood in front of the screen, it would be the same thing, one-half of the movie removed and the loudmouths would be the first to complain. It seems to me that IRC uses very strong control in other areas. They do have the nerve to make sure no one gets in free. Why then, don’t they have the nerve to make sure real moviegoers don’t get gypped by some crowd of inconsiderate, uncouth clods? If you agree, and I’m sure many do, let them know it. Anything less than the right to correctly enjoy a movie is a rip-off.

After this, the movement for amnesty of the “Attica Brothers” reached new heights, and thousands marched on Albany. Many students that attended this University were involved in the march. The Bell Report was kept secret for awhile. Headed by former Judge Bernard Meyer, a new commission was formed to investigate Bell’s allegations. As the release of the Meyer Report came closer, the state attempted to quqll protest against its selective prosecution of the Attica prisoners by indicting a single state trooper. This indictment was later dropped when Special Investigator Alfred J. Scotti argued against singling out one state trouper for prosecution. Meanwhile, the first volume of the three volume Meyer Report, containing conclusions and recommendations, was released to the public in December 1975. Meyer found that the prosecution had made “serious errors of judgement”, including destruction of evidence, granting immunity to state troopers, and “indifference to crimes against prisoners.” The evidence on which these conclusions were based was in Volumes Two and Three, which still remain under_ lock and key. Meyer also recommended a review of all indictments and convictions against prisoners. Governor Carey remained under public pressure on Attica throughout 1976. He stopped disciplinary hearings against ten troopers and ten guards, and removed the last possibility of the gunmen at Attica being held responsible for their actions. He commuted Decajeweiah's sentence, making him eligible for parole. But he allowed Dacajeweiah’s release to be blocked by the State Parole Board, which acted under pressure from the prison guards’ union and conservative legislators. Dacajeweiah was recently moved from Ossining Correctional Facility in Ossining, New York, to the Great Meadows Correctional Facility in Comstock, New York. Many of his supporters believe he was moved as a result of public attention to his case. His attorneys are attempting to obtain his freedom ob the issue of selective prosecution during the Attica trials. In the best interest of justice, we should demand the immediate, unconditional release of John Hill. The Attica Committee To Free John Hill is requesting that telegrams or letters be sent tp Judge Frank Bayger, State Supreme Court, County Hall, Buffalo, New York, requesting that John Hill be freed! was a Moronothon. Les Kroll The commuter community To the Editor I am writing in response to all the commuters who have been writing letters to the editor and all of you that have been talking about the problems of commuters, but haven’t Jtad the nerve to write a letter. Commuters make up the majority of the University at population University. this Furthermore, commuters have just as many problems as dorm students do and I am glad to see some of you speaking out. In some of your letters you have said, “Let’s do something about it,” but I don’t see any of you trying to do something. The Commuter Council is a group of concerned commuters trying to do something for commuters. We sell bus tokens at discounted prices, and try to get other events going for commuters. In October we are planning a Commuter Dorm Party and are looking forward to-’ other events such as a rollerskating party, iceskating party and other functions to get commuters involved in University life. We have ideas and want to hear your ideas, but we can’t carry out our ideas or yours if we don’t know yours and don’t have the manpower to carry these ideas out. If commuters are to be~heard, we have to speak out loud enough. SO COME ON COMMUTERS, JOIN THE COMMUTER COUNCIL and help us do something for- the Commuter Community of this University. T.B Member S/t Commuter Council Fight Food Service To the Editor I strongly support Matthew R. Gary’s (Friday’s against Food Service’s “new policy” for large parties (such as those held by TKK). There seems to be little reason for this ploy other than to hassle University students. The students which Food Service is inconveniencing are the very ones which make their existence possible. Why must Food Service (along with its mother FSA) constantly work against us? The branch dorm students in this University are already constrained by too many rules and regulations. We must let Food Service (as well as FSA) know that we’re not going to sit back while they invent and implement unnecessary rules. Beer parties are an integral part of campus life, and I’m sure that this won’t change. Nevertheless, I find it most upsetting that a student-supported organization is trying to alter the social activities of these students. It’s time we did something about this.

To obtain a temporary license, an organization must apply directly to FSA at least seven days in advance. If FSA approves, the request is sent to the state liquor authorities who may approve or reject the application. FSA rejects applications from woooooooooooc groups attempting to make a profit from the sale of liquor. Legally, no organization on a temporary license can gain profit from the sale of liquor. According to Bozek, the majority of the requests, if submitted in time fox .processing, will be approved. However, F$A is ultimately responsible for any occurrence' which may happen at the event, and will deny the organization to any request deemed “irreponsible”.

Diane O’Conner and Patrick Young of the Renaissance Party, as well as Ace Party Representatives Judiann Carmack and Joe Glavin, pointed out that since Albany refuses to allocate the necessary funds for proper bus service they will attempt to adapt the present bus schedule to better meet the needs of students, The dormitory candidates also agreed that library cutbacks are placing the University in a precarious academic position. They desire expanded library hours, increased periodical subscriptions ar\d a more equitable distribution of libraries between the Main Street and Amherst campuses. Some students questioned said that the forum did not receive enough publicity. A spokesperson for E and C rebuffed the charges stating, “Announcements were placed in Monday’s and last Friday’s The Spectrum.” He attributed the typically low turnout to student apathy. �ft o w Now comes Mi ©1978 Miller Brewing Co.

Our project is set. We are hoping to receive funding in two to three weeks.” Pulvino added that formal approval of the actual design of the road has already been submitted to DOT officials. The decision to renovate the road came after six months of political sparring between DOT and a group of concerned citizens known as Residents Against Grover Cleveland Expansion (RAGE). The highway will be widened only three feet, instead of five, which would have resulted in the destruction of many 50-year old trees lining the road. The battle was complicated when Federal standards required the lanes to be 12 feet in width in order to receive funding from Washington for the construction. Angered local citizens and members of the New York Public Interest" Research Group (NYP1RG) claimed that along with increasing safety hazards, property values might also fall with the widening of the road. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved reducing the speed limit to 35 mph and widening the lanes to only 11 feet in width. As a result of EPA support. Federal Highway officials reduced the 12 foot requirement and allowed the total width of the road to be reduced form 50 to 46 feet. Fremming told the Buffalo Evening News, “Since we have managed to revise successfully the renovation project to comply with the alterations in the plans requested by the homeowners on Grover Cleveland Highway, I am extremely distressed to learn of this new roadblock holding back the project.” DO YOU LOVE ANIMALS?

The conference, the first in an attempt to bring academians and practitioners together to discuss how the public interest n»ay best be served by the legal profession, includes a host of prominent speakers and panelists from across the nation. Senator lacob Javits; former Clark; Attorney General Ramsey lawyer for the Chicago 7 and Attica prisoner John Hill, William Kunstler; American Civil Liberties Union Director David Goldberger, who defended the Nazis at Skokie, Illinois; council for Larry Flynn in the Screw magazine pornography case, Herald Price Fahringer; and former ABA President Chesterfield Smith are just a few of the national experts who will come to Moot Court in O’Brian Hall this weekend. Buffalo prototype The conference, to serve as a model for subsequent ABA public interest programs, will examine questions of public concern such as the environment, the needs of the poor, and prisoner’s rights. The event is funded by an $18,000 ABA grant. The County Bar Assoication, in return for the grant, has agreed to examine the possibility of setting up a model public interest law group in Buffalo, according to a Buffalo Evening News article. Erie County was selected for the project from approximately 20 other local ABA chapters because the Buffalo area is the “prototype” of the nation’s older, industrial cities, according to Executive Secretary of the Erie County Bar Association Carol Seal. Over 250 people have already registered to hear approximately 85 panelists, said Law School Conference Joseph Director Makowski. However, Makowski is interested in seeing a large student turnout next weekend. For further information, he can be reached at 636-2060 or students can contact Carol Seal at 852-8687.

Their gripe is that the construction plans in the area bounded by Main, Amherst and Parker Streets have been changed. Originally, the NFTA had planned to build the proposed Amherst Station entirely below ground. More recent plans now call for the excavation of the entire site and the construction of the station inside the resulting hole. When the station is completed the hole will be filled in and the streets restored, however, the construction of the station is expected to take almost three years. Street Michael Paskowitz, attorney for the MABA, stated, “The main objective of the suit is to make NET A comply with the Urban Mass Transportation Act (UMTA) and the National Environmental Act (NEPA), neither of which has been done.” Other named defendants in the suit Policy Transportation Secretary Brock Adams; Richard S. Page, Administrator of the U.S, Urban Mass Transportation include U.S. Authority; Chester R, Hardt, Chairman of the NFTA; and Kenneth G. Knight, head of the NFTA’s Metro Construction Division. Substantial losses MABA claims that the “cut and cover” construction will interfere with access to the area and produce a high noise level as opposed to rock tunneling, in which all the work could be done under the street. “Obviously the businesses will suffer substantial losses,” said The proposed Paskowitz. NEPA states that any funded by the federal government which may have an effect upon the environment must submit with its application an Environmental Impact Statement before the transportation secretary approve can the The project application. The UMTA also calls for an f CJ 4 Environmental Impact Statement and further requires that every third party with interest is entitled to a public hearing. The NET A argues that it was necessary to change the plans for the Amherst Street STation because of the results of geological tests performed last year. These tests showed that the rock at the station site was too light and porous for rock tunneling. PSskowitz added emphatically, “We are not trying to delay the construction December. 1 feel schedule for we have been unfairly represented by the press in that respect.” Robert Pearman, an attorney for NFTA stated, "1 think this is an important case and it is vital that it be quickly dealt with,” He also said that while no exact date has been set for trial, a conference is scheduled for today in order to establish basic ground rules. NFTA will be able to continue action from there. According to a spokesman for Paul Reecer Chevrolet, an MABA member business, members of the association have been instructed to refer ail questions to attorney Paskowitz. ~Susan Kushner �* •» Death penalty. ‘Animal House’ actor. writer to speak at UB Chris Miller was bom in March of 1942 in Brooklyn and people have been roaring with laughter at Chris’ in-person appearances ever since.

Could you walk into a house knowing that a mother is entertaining a John or that Renee's father is threatening to beat her? “These kids are not cute little ones you can put on your knee and cuddle up to.” commented Director Of Be-A-Friend program Robert Moss. “They are not clean-cut, All American ... they are tough, they have had their problems and the scars show. Some volunteers go in and what they see knocks them on their behinds," he explained. The Be-A-Friend program is a non-profit association funded by the Buffalo Division for Youth and the Community Action Corp (CAC). The program matches volunteers with ‘little brothers and sisters a majority of whom come from broken or troubled homes. Participants in the program are, thoroughly screened. A series ofinterviews are conducted to guage the ability and sincerity of the Volunteer ” >*■ could come before then if the U.S. Supreme Court denies his appeal. This would give Askew the option of cither allowing the execution to go forward while he is still governor or commuting the sentence. Like a growing number of public officials. Askew appears to have doubts about capital punishment. In the past two years, Governors Hugh Carey of New York, Jerry Brown of California, Ray Blanton of Tennessee, Brendan Byrne of New Jersey, Marvin Mandel of Maryland and Milton Shapp of Pennsylvania have all vetoed death penalty bills, even though public opinion favors such legislation, by about two to one, according to public opinion polls. Currently, 32 states have valid death penalty statutes. Some, such as Maine, Minnesota and Wisconsin, have not had capital punishment for more than 60 years, with no appreciably higher homicide rates than neighboring states with death penalty laws. Even the Supreme Court has had trouble with capital punishment. In 1972 it struck down most existing death penalty laws, saying they were unconstituational because they were being arbitrarily and discriminatorily applied. At that time eight of the nine justices said they personally opposed capital punishment. i Many states, including Florida, then rewrote their death penalty laws. In 1976 the high court seemed to reverse itself. It held that capital punishment could be constitutional if it was carried out under clear, consistent guidelines, but H.was not made mandatory. . ■ V? Once again. It invalidated a large number of death penalty laws, but upheld those in Florida, Georgia, and Texas. In 1977 the Supreme Court ruled that no one could be sentenced to death for rape or kidnapping. In July 1978 it ordered states to restructure laws so that a defendant could present to the sentencing judge the widest possible range of mitigating factors about his character, record or circimstances of the crime. The 1978 decision removed 140 people from death row and invalidated death penalty laws in Ohio, Arizona and Pennsylvania. “It may be that although the Supreme Court has fouMt the death penalty constitutional, it may find no constitutional way to apply it,” observed'Henry Schwarzschitd of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which has long opposed capital punishment. f. Responsibility v “The first interview is really an orientation to the program, why or why not the volunteer should join, the time committment involved (a minimum of nine months to one year is asked). We (the staff) feel the volunteer out a bit, but it is more of an information session,” Moss said. The prospective volunteer then has two weeks to contact the office and say, “I would like to “be a friend”. “In this way,” suggested Moss, “somebody isn’t put on the spot to say well... yes. It also gives them time to think about it.” Extensive training follows. “This is one of the few youth programs where a volunteer is not under direct supervision. He or she has a lot of responsibility on their own,” Moss stated. “We kid around here that it’s easier to get into Med school then it is to gel into the program,” he smiled. “We don’t want to scare people away. We’re not lokking for someone who necessarily has had experience or who is going to practice social work or psychology. All we ask is that you come in and take a shot. We especially need males and minority females,” he continued. - Waiting list There are 125 kids on the wailing list, most of them boys. They too have been screened for acceptance into the program. By the time a volunteer is matched, the child and family have been visited several times by the Be-A-Friend staff. The staff follows up and monitors relationships closely for the first several months. There is trememdous support for the volunteer, Moss said. Activities are arranged monthly, when both volunteer and child meet with other brothers and sisters. “What we ask is that the volunteer act as a role model. We’re the first to admit that this “medicine” is not right for everyone. But it’s a unique program because it offers friendship,” related Moss. The sentiment behind Be-A-Friend is simple. Moss said: “Wehave a story that we like to use. Two people meet and try to climb to the top of a tree together. If they go and sit awhile on the branches to talk about problems and worries that’s fine, but the goal is the lop of the tree friendship. — 1 —continued from • p«?e 11— • Spenkelink’s attorneys are expected to lean heavily on the 1978 Supreme Court decision in their appeal and argue that the jury that recommended the death sentence and the judge who imposed it were not able to consider all the mitigating circumstances in the case. They will also contend that his sentence was a reaction to an abnormal zeal to apply the death penalty, which had been enacted in Florida just before Spenkelink’s February 1973 crime. “John’s is not a traditional death penalty-type case,” said one of his attorneys, Joe! Berger of the Legal Defense Fund of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). “The death penalty is usually reserved for people who kill total strangers, either during a robbery, or in some particularly gruesome fashion. “There have been a lot nastier cases in Florida where it has not been imposed. Courts generally don’t hand down death sentences when the victim and perpetrator have known each other.” Spenkelink’s NAACP attorneys will also try to save their white client by arguing, ironically, that Florida’s capital punishment law is racially biased against blacks. They probably will ask the Supreme Court to overturn the Florida law because, under it, 90 percent of those sentenced to death have been killers of whites, while only 8 percent were killers of blacks. They will say that killers are rarely sentenced to die when their victims are black. Robert Sheviri, Florida’s attorney general, a leading proponent of capital and a strong candidate to succeed Askew as governor, deems such arguments “frivolous” delaying tactics. And Assistant Attorney General Marky is confident the court will find Florida’s death penalty law constitutional once again. “All I know is that 60 percent of the people on death row in Florida are white,” Marky said, “and our laws must take into account a person’s age, any economic or cultural deprivation they may have suffered and many other factors before they can be sentenced to die.” Nationally, about half of all death row inmates are black, but blacks comprise 11 percent of the population. They comprise about 23 percent of Florida’s population. Marky said the death penalty is a deterrent, “h’s not something that I can prove to you though,” he said. “Statistically, there are just too many variables. But I do know this. It will deter the person who is executed from ever killing again.” • - — SOFT CONTACT LENSES • BAUSCH • LOM& A. O.

The USSA will continue much of the work done by NSA and NSL, The NSA, formed in 1946 and the oldest and largest student organization in the country, worked for student financial aid programs and to improve the academic and social life of undergraduate students. The NSL, formed in 1971, took the fight for students rights into Congress in the form of a student lobby. Both New climate The USSA founding convention vaguely was reminiscent of the student activism of the 1960’s. But where many of the students of the 1960’s tended towards more militant political protest, the USSA delegates focused more on lobbying activities and coalition building. For example, one published report titled “J.P. Stevens Boycott", was jointly the prepared by NSA-NSL Coalition and the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union the union which has - been trying to organize J.P. Stevens for over a decade.

With two freshmen starters and two seniors on the bench, Buffalo did nothing right in the first game of the match. They were en route to a loss to Geneseo, three games to two. Weinreich admitted that the freshmen play was raggy in the first game. The Royals hardly got a chance to spike as they failed again and again to manage a good set and their low point total was partically due to a long series of serves. Weinreich wayward defended his strategy, explaining, “With a young squad (four of 12 are freshmen], you can’t afford to just play veterans.” The Royals used a new setter in the game junior Chadwick who, at 6’1”, is the tallest player on the team. “Dana’s a seasoned player and 1 wanted someone who wasn’t going to get rattled,” said Weinreich. “I’d rather hit,” admitted Chadwick. “But I wanted to go where I was needed.” The baseball Bulls concluded a flurry of weekend activity Sunday by splitting a doubleheader with Lemoyne College in Syracuse. The Bulls played nine games in four days against R1T (2), Canisius (2), Monroe Community (1), Erie Community (2) and Lemoyne (2). They won eighf^of the nine contests, although five of the games were exhibition matches. The Bulls are now 6-2 in regular games and 5-0 in exhibitions. Buffalo took the first game Sunday 2-1, behind a double steal of second and home. The play has become a favorite of the Bulls, who have extraordinary team speed. “We’ve got it down pretty good,” grinned assistant coach Ed Durkin. Rookie first baseman Joe Vizzi got credit for the steal of home. The sixth inning run gave reliever Phil Rosenberg all he needed for the win. Joe Hcskelh pitched four superb innings to open up and Mike Betz came in to save it for Rosenberg. Buffalo coach Bill Monkarsh continues to use three pitchers a game. Good defense UB lost the nightcap to Lemoyne 4-1 as Monkarsh put his all-freshman team on the diamond. Joe Ward cracked a home run for UB but wildness hurt the pitchers. Dennis Howard, Ed Retzer and Don Griebner didn’t get hit too hard, but they walked too many batters. Lemoyne won the Division II World Series a year ago. “Both teams played a very good defense,” Durkin noted. “We just didn't swing the bats.” A former UB first baseman-third baseman, Durkin was especially pleased with the defensive work of UB’s cornermen. Gene Dudek has been playing good defense at third while Vizzi has done the job at first. Thursday, Buffalo used its speed to rattle RIT’s shortstop. The RIT coach was “amazed”, according to Monkarsh, as UB runners consistently beat out infield hits and made his shortstop rush to get rid of every throw. “We made a pretty good shortstop have a lousy day,” Monkarsh said. The Bulls swiped nine bases in the doubleheader. “That’s the key to our team,” Durkin stressed. “We’re not too high on power, but seven of our nine guys can rah;” j Jim Wojcik led the Buffalo batsmen last weekend, with Rich Baldi.

UB finally won that one on a funny play when a Geneseo block caused the ball to roll along on the the net and finally fall Geneseo side. The UB scores seesawed in the next three games, although the Royals never looked as had as they had at the start of the evening. Buffalo scored a measly two points in the third game, when Geneseo’s Dianne Quinn spiked, blocked and served them into submission. But it was Geneseo which looked bad in the next game as the Royals scored 15 straight points while barely allowing a Blue Devil to touch the ball. who Trabert, Senior Sue alternated with rookie Dianne Nelson throughout the night, seemed to steady UB whenever she entered the lineup. — — 8c per copy Houghton on Monday Buffalo fell behind early in the deciding game of the match and could never rally enough to catch up after that. “1 wish we had won it, but you can’t say we were blown out,” said Weinreich.

The UB soccer team continued their inconsistent play this Sunday as they were blanked 5-0 by the Colonials of SUNY Binghamton. The Bulls also appeared to suffer from fatigue from the four-hour bus ride prior to the afternoon match. The first half began as a tense battle with both teams playing well. Jim Porter put Binghamton up 1-0, when a pass rebounded off his chest two feet in front of the net. The remainder of the half was played somewhat evenly, both teams had good scoring opportunities but failed - to connect. Buffalo’s fatigue started to show in the second half, and Binghamton soon took advantage. Porter, who led the Binghamton attack with two goals was joined in the offensive display by Phil Karasyk, Jim Baradicurdi and John Graudins. UB coach Sal Esposito, protested vehemently after the third goal because of what he thought was an obvious Binghamton off-sides violation, not called. Celeste gets relief Esposito emptied his bench after the fourth goal, replacing goalie Mark Celeste with sophomore Tom Medige. Medige made one save and allowed one goal in his season debut. Paul Quinlan came up with five saves in recording the shutout for Binghamton. Buffalo fullback Steve Cate stated that the referees cost the Bulls two goals. Cate cited one play in which a pushing foul was called on Buffalo and Binghamton was given the ball. The Colonials continued play before the Bulls were ready, and the official awarded the ball back to Binghamton. Cate also thought that the large hostile home crowd that heaped verbal abuse on the Buffalo players also played a role in the questionable officiating. By the end of the game 15 fouls were called against the Bulls; only four assesed on Binghamton. The Bulls were disappointed after the game but look forward to their home opener today versus Canisius. Buffalo is now 1-3 overall and 0-1 in the SUNY conference. —Swan TO BE THE BEST: Though her name is not well known throughout UB, April Zolcer is a real sportsperson. Her love of all types of sports propels April to the forefront consistently whether it be in tennis, where she is currently playing between the fiVst and second singles position or ‘Outstanding’ woman athlete is sportsmanlike and determined! April Zolczer is not a good sport. Although her ready smile and warm personality might suggest she is, the fact remains: April is not a good sport. She is an excellent one. Currently, April is courting her excellence and love of sports on the UB’s women’s tennis team where she has been fluctuating between the first and second singles positions. In May, when the softball season comes to a close, April will have played her last sport for UB. She will leave with a degree in the physical education program of sports administration. But the end of college will not bring an end to competitive sports in Ms. Zolczer’s life. April will find plenty to do, if she continues at the frantic pace she has already set.

Jogging is a new joy for April who will graduate this May. During the winter taking to the slopes satisfies April's bounding competitive spirit. See story at left for more details . . v I This past summer April served as Tennis Director for Recreation Cheektowaga’s Program where she had previously been a tennis instructor. Her nights were spent playing softball and in her spare moments, April worked on her golf game and took up jogging. Day at the races But she didn’t let it remain easy-jogging for long. In April’s usual determined style, she propelled herself to the competitive level she thrives on, and entered and placed in two seven mile mini-marathons. ‘i wish I had the time to keep running competitively,” April explained, “1 did enjoy the races because I had never run that far before. Up until then, I was running three to four miles a day. It’s nice to know 1 can do more.” But lately, April has had to be content with the shorter spurts of 1 ... speed she exhibits on the court UB’s women’s tennis coach Connie Camnitz characterizes April as “a true hustler who can really cover the court to get the tough shots.” On her own game, April says, .“1 hit the ball hard and like to go for the winner rather than keep the ball in play. But at times I’ll do something stupid and just blow it. It could be a lack of concentration or else I get lazy all of a sudden,” �“eontlnuod from j p*o* 1— ' CULTURAL AND PERFORMING ARTS | | Reichert. 1 That is where the policy stands now two credits to be taken at i- any point in a student’s career, jo But a plethora of questions and 2 complications remain - I Why did Esposito suppy data a one-credit requirement in May of 1977 and a r- two-credit requirement in October of the same year? Esposito the discrepancies | acknowledged ? and told The Spectrum that the | information RARI used in May was incomplete; that it did not take into account the fact that 50 percent of entering freshmen don't graduate, and thus may possibly never take gym. But Esposito’s conclusions have never been proven on paper. There are no reports or studies showing exactly how RARI can handle the two-credit requirement, or exactly how the 50 percent figure fits in. John Medige, who chaired the Faculty Senate committee which recommended the present policy, said Esposito was “forthright” in explaining his change of mind. “At the time (May of 1977) he was convinced that the requirement couldn’t be met,” Medige said, referring to Esposito, “now he has come to believe it could be done.” Why did the committee approve a policy with no - | supporting - — supporting “There were documentation? no real statistics Medige admitted, “only impressions. One makes a recommendation and draws conclusions. Xpu can look at statistics but the main thrust of the decision was that the department offering the course thinks they can handle them and if the Dean in charge of all students thinks they can handle it, and they show in numbers and why shouldn’t oral arguments they be allowed to try it?” ” - The feasibility of the policy is complicated by a number of factors no one has attempted to gauge. For instance, students who are not required to take gym courses and students who have fulfilled their already requirements are still allowed to register for courses. Also, gym course sections are Tilled on a “first come first serve” basis, giving no preference to students who need the courses. RAR1 officials have no way of knowing how many of the spots in their courses have been or will be filled by students taking gym purely for recreational purposes. “There is no control over this,” Medige conceded. “and no direct knowledge about it. But it was the opinion of the people from RAR1 that these people would be small in number. Just a feeling.” — RAR1 has based their “feelings” largely on the attrition rate of students, i.e., the number of entering freshmen do not graduate after four years. RAR1 officials have assumed that many of these students will never take gym courses. How many? No one knows because, according to Peter Witteman, Associate Director of Admissions and Records, attrition figures are undermined by students who may lake longer than four years tp graduate but still need two credits of gym for a diploma. Also, RAR1 officials have no way of calculating how many students who drop out have “wasted” gym spots by taking — . physical education courses before they left school. Medige said such problems with attrition figures were “not quantitatively, but qualitatively taken into account.” Although the two-credit requirement is in effect and working, its current success is deceptive. All juniors and seniors are still exempted from gym requirements by Kunz’s ruling last year. Thus about half the students who normally would be required to complete two credits of phys ed have been removed from the pool of students vying fos, gym courses. The policy is not now this being “tested.” In two ye year’s sophomores will be seniors and students at all stages of the careers will be competing for essentially the same number' of spaces. But even then, 1980’s seniors will have benefited from a “grace period” produced by Kunz’s 1977 waiver, and be more likely to have completed their LLAI) COMMITTEE PRESENTS: 3bBzk — Jffutmo? ., requirements. Medige said the Faculty Senate committee that recommended the policy did so hoping that RARI would receive additional personnel to increase offerings. The its course committee also counted on a speedy start on the new Amherst phys ed complex to provide additional space, he explained. Neither hope has been fulfilled, Medige conceded. “Now another year is down the drain and the phys ed complex is another year behind,” he lamented. Hence, in two years, when freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors ar? all competing for gym courses RARI is unlikely to have either more staff or more space. To complicate things even further, the University accepted 500 additional freshmen, all of whom must complete the two credit requirement. Medige was unsure if RARI took the increase into account when advising his committee. “If this number is unexpected, if it is 500 more than anticipated, it could conceivably cause a problem,” Medige said. “1 don’t know if anybody has been upset by this.” Former DUE Dean Kunz admitted the 500 extra freshmen “could create a problem.” Why has no one seriously considered the dropping requirement altogether? Former SA President Dennis Delia told The Spectrum last year that funds for the new Amherst physical education complex are closely tied to the gym requirement. “If the requirement is removed,” said Medige Monday, “the complex will no longer seem as essential to Albany.” Hence, it appears that University officials are dinging to the gym requirement partly out of fear that the new gym facility may be jeopardized. “I am not prepared to guarantee you or anyone else that there will not be a problem next year,” Medige'told The Spectrum, “but I don’t think there will be. It was not our function to guarantee but to estimate and not even to estimate but to judge the validity ol other people’s estimates.” W* requirement is totally unfeasible? Kuik admitted that “there are no provisions if the plan fails.” “We will have to deal with it on an ad hoc basis,” he concluded. — Ulfttf — — — — (EJjrta TOMORROW Sept. 28th at 8:00 pm in FILLMORE ROOM, SQUIRE HALL $2.50 Tickets available in Squire Ticket Office • SUD £7\ BOARD 2qone,inc K*" v M"* iMtto Mono --TUTMii �ft* classified wanted to Ann Harboi*.

On Saturday, the two definitions became one at Rotary Rield as Buffalo downed Brockport 35-31.

Hopes of a win, the first in eight years, began to vanish for another week for the Bulls and a demoralized crowd of 3,200 as Quarterback Karl Ulrich pushed his way into the end zone with State University one minute remaining and Brockport a 31 -28 lead.

However, the New York State Legislature has a law on the books which says that a student cannot vote in the same district in which he attends school even if he lives there all year long. For all intents and purposes, a student can only register to vote in the district in which he previously lived before he became a student. This section of the election law, Section 5—104, places this same residence restriction on anyone employed in the Armed Forces, committed to an asylum, or “confined in any public prison.” The only way these people can normally vote is to obtain an absentee ballot and participate in the election of someone they may not even know anything about. Nonetheless, students are still required to pay property taxes, through their rental payments, in the area where they go to school. In high school history books, this practice is often referred to as “Taxation without representation.” "The right of older, to of citizens of the United States, vote ” Treated as equals “I think it’s unfair under our constitution, that just because a person is trying to further his education, he must give up his right to fully participate in an election,” said Christine Hildigrande of the Buffalo League of Women Voters. Hildigrande remarked that the 5—104 restriction implies that student voters are, not competent enough to vote in the best interest of the community in which they live. “The consitituion guarantees that all voters will be treated as equals." she maintained. The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) has decided to organize a 5—104 challenge. Recently NYPIRG and the Student Association for the State University (SASU) organized a drive to encourage student voter registration. Both groups have pointed out that local Boards have a prior responsibility to the 26th Amendment and that the second paragraph of 5—104 gives the board enough latitude to allow student registration, if they so desire. Yet, the Erie County Board of Elections has consistently refused to accept student voter applications unless the student happens to live at the same address he did before he attended school. Last Friday, Larry Schillinger and Kenneth Sherman of NYPIRG spoke to William Quinn, Deputy Commissioner of the County Board of Elections, to ask him why the board kept refusing student applications. “We have to uphold the laws of the State Board of Elections,” responded Quinn. Quinn-later showed The Spectrum a copy of 5—104 in defense of his arguements. “I was not surprised,” said Schillinger, “1 feel the law grants the —continued on page 18— Elie WieseI spotlighted—P. 9 / Waiting for University Handicapped students crippled by a lack of accessible facilities bewteen SI.2 and $1.5 million. inter-campus bus service, since Deficiencies caused by old age and many of the disabled students are weather damage include nearly unable to use the standard buses.

It’s worth only a fraction of its 1964 purchase price, has a tempestuous past, a nebulous future, is unwanted and it’s ours. It, is a huge tract of land located about three miles north of the Amherst Campus alongside Tonawanda Creek which was known as the Administrative Division of the Association. All money used for mortgage, interest, real property taxes and expenses on the land have since been taken from its coffers. Although the fund has undergone a number of name changes since 1964, it is undeniable that students had little or no say on how over three quarters of a million dollars of their money was spent.

Henderson believes that student disturbances at the time were more responsible for the report’s disposal than were the high costs of its implementation. “There were so many pressures placed on students at that time,” he said. “The truth could be the constant concern over student uprisings and protesting matters.” But Henderson does concede that cost may have been a factor. “I do believe that identifying money was a true source of difficulty,” he said. “We really didn’t knoyv how much money we had; if more money would be added.” Henderson still supports the concept of student land for recreational use, but termed the handling of FSA’s land “an embarrassment.” The Committee’s report was quietly laid to rest and for the next five years,'FSA stood pat, making few improvements on the land while up approximately $95,000 in taxes. purchase this The matter came to a surprising end sooner than expected when, after the Amherst Town Board successfully delayed the UDC’s purchase of the land, state corporation folded, leaving the depreciating territory in the hands of the reluctant FSA the There it has remained ever since Growing concerns for the I SA spiraling cost of the land currently pays $22,000 per year have induced the in taxes organization to once again investigate the possibilities for its use.

Not really. “It was not the job of the Committee to fund or implement any of our ideas,” Henderson, now Director of Squire Hall said, Friday. “Our task was to gather information regarding the possible recreational uses of the land. We did a Committee’s worth of work and forwarded it to Stu Edelstein (then Student Association President’s was closed and to students, Assistant to the President Harold Jackson said, “The President’s door has always been open to students.” Jackson pointed out that during Ketter’s first year as President, he had a weekly radio phone-in so that he could keep in touch with the student body, but the show was discontinued becuase of a lack of student corporation unreasonably high.

Disenchanted with Psychology, According to Stein, a majority of the lawsuits concern personal injuries. The University can also be sued if a student fails to receive his Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) award. “Action is taken in his Kconomics, response to each and every claim that is filed,” said Stein. Stien outlined the steps the University takes after a claim has been filed. “The Environmental Health Services investigates and researches all personal injury lawsuits. This information is. then channeled down through the Assistant to the President’s Office and the University council until it reaches the Attorney General’s Office,” he said, “The Attorney General, who is the acting defendant in all lawsuits against the University, makes another investigation and prepares to go to court,” Stein continued. Director of Environmental Health and Safety Robert Hunt, explained the procedure of filing a lawsuit against the University. “The student first obtains a lawyer and then files the form, “Intent to Sue”, with the Attorney General. Next the lawsuit is filed in the Court of Claims of New YOrk State,” he said. “After that is a matter of waiting. It usually takes three to four years for the case to be brought up in court,” Hunt informed. Both Hunt and Stein claimed they have received little if any feedback on the outcome of the lawsuits aspirations against the University. According to Stein, “After the investigation material has been sent to the General’s Office, few results come back.’’ New York State Attorney General of Claims and Litigation Ralph Cessarie said he had little idea of the percentage of cases that were either dropped or carried through. “It varies with each year and with each individual case,” he said. “It is equally hard to know how much money the University pays in claims each year.” Cessario pointed ou that it is not neccessary for Attorney many of the claims to go through the court system.

He came to UB in 1972 with the intention of taking part in a program in Statistical Psychology. The program was never developed but Levy was asked to teach two Statistics courses which were required of Psychology majors. The 32-year-old Levy soon began serving as a department consultant which put him in contact with most of the faculty and students. He unexpectedly became involved in administrative affairs and in 1975 was asked to serve as acting Chairman of the Psychology Department. Apparently the department liked his work. He was named permanent Chairman in the fall of 1976. Levy hasn’t stopped ascending the University ladder. In early September of this year, he was recommended to the position of Dean of The Faculty of Social Sciences by President Ketter. In his typically unassuming manner Levy said, “Someone nominated me for the position of Dean last Spring.

They said they more than a year, as Chairman of the Psychology Department, he grappled with inadequate facilities at the Ridge Lea Campus, cramped teaching quarters and faculty losses in the face of meager renovation funds from the state Division of the Budget (DOB). The department is still quartered at Ridge Lea, but the faculty has begun to see rays,of hope largely through the efforts of Levy and concerned faculty, — administrators and students. Faculty and administrators have praised Levy’s diligent efforts in a seemingly hopeless situation. He summed up his own popularity saying, “I’m generally seen as someone who / has a commitment to research and who is supportive of the faculty." As Psychology Chairman, Levy the extensively met with Administration in an effort to secure funding for sorely needed would lay out general policy and 1 should make decisions along those policy lines.” Funding channels Despite this rather nebulous description of his duties, Levy has begun to take specific steps within his jurisdiction. His first goal as Dean is “to become already educated” about the Faculty of Social Sciences. “I know little about what is going on in other departments so the first thing 1 did was tour all segments to get an idea of where they are and how much space they have.” gathering is now Levy information about every faculty member and will soon meet with each department chairman to determine individual departmental and After faculty needs. examining all funding needs, Levy hopes to formulate a three-year plan for Social Sciences academic improvements at Ridge Lea.

New guidelines for posters In response to student claims of false advertisement, Director of Squire Union Robert Henderson met Friday with Student Association Squire/Amherst Division Director Allen Clifford to establish guidelines for future on-campus promotions. Outraged students charged that a Tuesday night Fillmore Room performance advertised as a magic show turned into a religious sermon. It was alleged that after one hour of magic, illusionist Andre Hole whose performance was sponsored by the Campus Crusade for Christ International (CCCI) focused on religion, specifically salvation and belief in Jesus. While CCCI is legally not guilty of false advertisment because of the incorporation of words such as “spiritual” and “inspired” in its posters, the incident may set a precedent for future advertising stipulations. Basing CCCl’s defense on the fact that the poster mentioned the sponsoring organization’s name, CCCI representative Terry Valentine said, “People, the majority anyway, go to a meeting because of who is sponsoring it.” The poster, 17 inches high, contained one line of letters less than one-seventh of an inch mentioning CCCI. - — Minimum size Although approval is subject to the House Council (an interstudent government body), Sub Board I, the student corporation, may institute size regulations for sponsorship announcements. According to Henderson, “Dependent upon the poster size, the size of the announcement of sponsorship would vary.” Although details are finalized, Henderson deemed such a measure “difficult to make effective.” ' ■. 1 o �Grad school hosts conference on US. involvement in Vietnam by Adrienne McCann Spectrum Staff Writer An attempt to look at America’s role in Vietnam in a different light will be made September 29 and 30 when the Graduate School plays host to a conference entitled “America in Vietnam; A Re-Appraisal.” But, according to fears allayed by a prominent war resister, and the president of the Veteran’s Association at UB. the forum however it attempts to re-appraise America’s involvement will remain just that an attempt. - The conference, co-chaired by Political Science professors Richard Cox and Jerome Slater, will bring together experts from around the country. Three seperate topics will be discussed: America’s political and military objectives, law, morality and Vietnam and a review of the lessons of Vietnam where America went wrong, and what lites ahead. According to Cox, ony of the main participants as well as co-chairperson of the event, the idea for “America in Vietnam: A Re-Appraisal” originated with an article in the February 1978 issue of Commentary magazine. Cox elaborated, "'Commentary published an essay on the alleged violation of International Law and on military conduct and activity in Vietnam. This article gave me the idea for this conference.” - Don’t forget “The weight of opinion today is that the U.S. shouldn’t have been involved in Vietnam to the extent that it was.” This issue shouldn’t be generalized, he said, “but looked at specifically. And professors should be leading in this,” he added. President of the Veteran’s Association at UB, Lee Slate, bitterly questioned the purpose of the upcoming event. “When I heard about this conference, the first thought that came to mind was,” Slate said, “Why did they (Cox and Slater) sponsor it? They weren’t active themselves during the Vietnam War. They didn’t support student activists. 1 do believe the conference will be worthwhile,” he continued, “No just so people won’t matter the reason behind it forget what happened.” Bruce Beyer is also uncertain of the validity and benefits of the dicussions. Beyet was a 60’s anti-war activist and draft resister. In 1968 he took symbolic — church sanctuary with eight fellow activists at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Buffalo. The “sanctuary” ended when federal agents arrested the men (the Buffalo nine). Beyer was charged with federal assualt. Irrelevant topics After being sentenced to two concurrent three-year jail terms, Beyer fled the United States and took exile in Sweden and then Canada where he carried on anti-war activity. Seven years later, in October of 1977, Beyer returned to Buffalo and surrendered himself to federal agents. A court decision on whether Beyer should serve his sentence or be freed, is still pending. According to Beyer, the conference may, in fact, distort what really happened, "I’m afraid these people are trying to rewrite the history of Vietnam. I don’t think this conference is organized from an anti-war position. 1 think it’s important to talk about Vietnam, but not from the Pentagon position.” “Unless you’re trying to justify or whitewash the Vietnam War, you can’t really talk about Vietnam in an intellectual, abstract way,” Beyer said. “The Vietnam War is still going on,” he contends. “It hasn’t ended for many reasons the U.S. does not now politically recognize Vietnam. In February of 1973, President Nixon promised Vietnam 3.5 billion dollars in reconstruction aid, with no strings attached. Kissinger found it possible to retract that promise because Vietnam had lied to the U.S. in listing the names of all the soldiers missing in action,” Beyer said. Beyer also questioned the purpose of one of the discussion topics. The third one asks the question, ‘Where do we go from here?’ But unless where we is understood, in relation to Vietnam are today how can we decide ‘where’ to go?” Beyer - - — questioned. Beyer also felt that the topics to be covered in the upcoming conference are not as relevant as those discussed in a forum he attended in Ann Arbor, Massachusetts las March. That conference almost exclusively covered topics that dealt with war resistors and the problems they face, American’s image of Vietnam and the state of the anti-war movement today. at For more information call the Graduate SchQ.ol 636-2939.

The Coalition is an umbrella organization of minority and international student organizations that are part of the Student Association (SA), Graduate Student Association (GSA) or other student governments. Formed over the summer, the groups main objective according to GSA Vice President for Student Affairs Zenebe Kifle is to “bring together the commonality of the international and minority students and afford them a greater power base.” offer input into Sub Board policy. We don’t know the places to look we have to be told.” SA Executive Vice President Karl Schwartz thought the Coalition was He a “excellent idea”. continued that “with the problems in the University common to these students it is a good, idea for them to combine resources. Schwartz questioned the Coalition’s notion of inadequate funding. “No, the minority and international group doesn’t need additional funding; yes, the student and governments Sub Board don’t adequately meet the needs fo these groups.” “We would be a lot better if we solicit more student input. We don’t want to give minority and international groups additional funding, we want to include them under our umbrella.” Schwartz said that by encouraging The chartering principles adopted by the Coalition point to: inadequate funding from the ‘‘completely seperate student governments; virtually organizations we are in a sense non-existent participation in the creating a policy of apartheid." functioning of students governments; lack of suitable student activities and programs through Sub Board; and the continuous reduction of student services as the major concerns of the minority and international students. Narrow the gap A major aim of the Coalition is to enlighten the University community to the importance of international and minority students as well as heightening the awareness of the Coalition’s constiuency. Zenebe indicated that departments through the University wodld “ctekSe t6 function effectively without our students,” and expressed concern for foreign students. ‘‘The Right places Vice President for Sub Board Jane Baum refuted the allegations made by against her group by the Coalition. Baum said that for the past few years a minority policies international students come here board has failed “to get off the and are unaware of the potential ground,” because, “attempts to they have. Our purpose is to focus solid minority participation have on that discrepancy and narrow been met with little or no the gap.” The Coalition is comprised of a response from concerned parties.” Baum was quick to point out General Assembly and headed by that Sub Board may have been a five member steering committee partially responsible for the lack which includes the SA Minority of input. “Perhaps Sub Board has and International Affairs not looked in the right places.

Office at m Talbert Hall, 636-2950 & �editorial <0 AVI Black magic The minority voice To the Editor We fully support the idea of minority and foreign students pooling resources and ideas to form the International Coalition. But before the group goes about demanding anything from student governments, it ought to make a few demands on its own members. In past years, minority and international students have not taken full advantage of existing avenuew to input in the Student Association, or Sob Board I, Inc. We vividly recall minority groups especially the Black Student Union turning out for May's SA Financial Assembly hearings to fight for their fair share of this year's budget. Unfortunately, the fight took place outside the ring as not a single BSU member had the perserverence to show up at enough task force meetings and automatically be included in the financial assembly the body which was supposed to be deciding the budget. Such after the fact lobbying has not only proven disruptive, but ineffective in securing minority rirfits. Sub Board I, Inc., the student corporation, has had difficulties in obtaining minority input. A Sub Board Minority Policy Board has not even been able to meet the past few years for lack of minority members willing to sit on it. Student government officials here can and should take a larger role in filling the needs of minority and international students. We are certain of that. We doubt, though, that the built-in opportunities for including a minority voice in decision making have been taken full advantage of. We have little or no evidence that SA or Sub Board have refused or discouraged a minority role in decision making. In fact, history suggest that if minority needs are not being filled, it is just as likely the fault of the minority groups themselves who have not shown an active enough interest in protecting their rights. We hope the International Coalition will recognize that the system has not yet been proven inflexible to the needs of minorities. The Coalition should provide a body of concerned minority and international students who will make sure that opportunities for a role are filled and that a shaky and sometimes non-existent power base is broadened. - — — Student sufferage The Erie County Board of Elections is making a serious error in judgement by interpreting state law strictly enough to prevent college students from registering in the district where they attend school. Section 5—104 of the state election law incredibly lumps college students, prison inmates and soldiers together in describing exactly who tfiould not be allowed to register in the districts where they reside. By stacking the deck against the 18—21 year-old vote, Sec. 5—104 can be interpreted as an abridgement of the 26th amendment to the U.S. constitution which prevents denial of voting rights on account of age. Because of this constitutionality question, some local boards have allowed students to register. Erie County can, and should, do the same. William Quinn, Deputy Commissioner of elections for the County, isn't fololing anyone>by hiding behind Sec. 5—104 and refusing to accept registration applications from UB students. Quinn knows, as the New York Public Interest Research Group knows, that the law is loose enough to allow the use of a board's discretion in cases like this. NYPIRG'spast troubles in attempting to register large numbers of students lead us to The proper form to write a letter to the editor escapes me, but I have something I would like the general public to know. This past Tuesday evening my friends and I decided to see “Andre Kole, the greatest magician and illusionist of our time.” and it was sponsored by the Campus Crusade for Christ International. The beginning of the show did just what the advertisement said. He caused “people to materialize, dematerialize, disintegrate and levitate right before” our very eyes. His smooth, relaxing, beautiful lone which made everyone feel at ease while being completely baffled was a true art. He claimed to have done a lot of research on the Bermuda Triangle, Psychic Surgery, Pyramid Power, and various other topics, so everyone listened to thes things with interest. Before his last feat of magic and before a short intermission he explained that the second half of his act was devoted to magic with believe someone in Buffalo would rather not see hoards of students joining the electorate. We support NYPIRG's efforts to challenge Quinn's refusal. And we think it's about time somebody challenged the blatantly discriminatory Sec. 5-104. Congratulations We thought we heard whispers of pride in between hoarse shouts of victory at a sun-drenched Rotary Field Saturday. For those who stayed away, the rare thrill of UB students screaming for, instead of at, their school was missed. Experience it this Saturday and you may find as we did that there are things to cheer about at this University having nothing to do with books or scholars or buildings. And there were victorias Saturday having nothing to dowith football. Congratulations to the players and the fans. - — The Spectrum To the Editor. I hope this letter is written in vain. On Saturday night I read an editorial in the Buffalo News by Joseph Kraft that made me sick. It was entitled “Shah’s Survival is Vital to U.S.” I write this to The Spectrum instead of the News because (I know this from experience) if the letter happens to be published and is considered controversial it stands a chance of being watered down. Also, I would hope that younger men see it. An oversimplification of this editorial is that the Shah is a great guy trying to modernize his country but is being hindered by backward conservative Moslems and Marxist revolutionaries. It’s stressed that Iran is “the only force for stability in the area and the only barrier against Russian penetration.” The Shah needs our help. Two days earlier (Thursday, September 14) the Christian Science Monitor told us that “Americans have heard from President Carter extravagant words of praise for the Shah, coupled with, other words about the importance of Iran.” The Monitor reminded us that “there are seyeral thousand U.S. military men.

First the groundwork is laid. By the time it goes through the propaganda grinder you’re told that if you don’t go to fight “communism” you’re “yellow”, “unpatriotic”, and don’t really love your country. Remember the old, “Love it or leave it”? I’m the first to admit that I listened to this. I enlisted in the military from 1967 to 1971. Without doubt the oil executives and defense contractors laughed about us all the way to the bank. Those that were in then will never have to be in again. You and your younger brothers will have to carry the ball the next time “our interests” are at stake. Please ask a few questions about this one. Preferably ask people who live in that part of the world. Then ask yourself if the Shah of Iran would be worth your legs, eyesight, mental stability, of life. Maybe he would. I don’t know.

The final gun goes off and I begin promenading around the television in utter joy. Why? The Eagles, true to Philadelphia form, come up the real losers with their mindless victory because it makes them only the second worst team in football, just ahead of my beleagured heroe$ the Buffalo Bills. And this year, the most miserable team in football was destined for a rendezvous with who was then the most magnificent athlete in sports. I started immediate lobbying for a Number 32 jersey. Orenthal James Simpson was coming to capture my dreams and I wanted to be had come to see basketball were on their feet wildly applauding Mr. Simpson.

I can’t recall who won the game. December 1973. The sports junkie is shivering in his Rich Stadium seat, waiting for the Bills and the New England Patriots to appear. The groundscrew loses its battle with a young Buffalo winter and resorts to just keeping the yard markers free of the heavy snow. 28 degrees, blinding snow, slippery roads all over Western New York and 80,000 bundled-up fans welcome the Bills and their Number 32 with mittened claps. It looks bad for Simpson’s chase at the record books; the field is a mess and his hands will probably freeze. He runs for about 189 yards and two touchdowns, leaving me cold, wet, hoarse and drained from attempting to appreciate how talented an athlete one man can be. Sure, sports stars come and go like sex symbols. Even O.J. Simpson now wears a San Fransisco 49’er jersey. But O.J. will age finely in Buffalo’s memories, like Marilyn Monroe ages in Hollywood’s. For Simpson brought to Buffalo what back breaking winters, smoke-spouting factories and simple, unpretentious people could never, never bring.

Spilling over from the editorial page to the front this editorial chose to ignore important things Thompson had to say. page, the most The bringer of bad things is blamed for news he brings, and Thompson’s news was of the very worst sort for a college generation putting its psychic investments in an infinitely bright future of humanity, neatly categorized under the headings “business” and “management”. In short, what the articles omitted, was the fact that Thompson confronted the mostly undergraduate audience with the fact that political involvement today has come to lose most of its meaning, since it must fight against political ills which are nebulous at best, affecting everyone to be sure, but affecting them at long range. As Thompson pointed out, twenty years from now, this country will be on the skids but bad, - - in Vietnam. Thompson strikes me as a modern H.L. Menchin; his analyses are feeble at best, but his psychic antennae pick up with total difelity, an intuitive perception of political and social impulses. His “drunken stupor,” which paradoxically revealed an extremely articulate man, was a defense - as wty his constant talk of suicide against an America which has gone from ugly to pointless. That was Thompson’s pessimistic challenge, I dare you to do something, 1 dare you to find meaning in America or to give it some meaning. Some people would rather shrink from that challenge. - facing the decline of cheap energy and the erosion of American imperialism. But today no one can feel An apology for disaster; the monsters or demons are everywhere and nowhere. We realize our hopeless complicity in everything that happens; the impossibility of a privileged viewpoint that will allow us to criticize without criticizing ourselves what is happening in the ‘west’. Ten years ago, on the other hand, the positions were clear, the threat was immediate death or mutilation 4 Han Stoe 7 /1, Program In Comparative Literature Hunter To the Editor don’t hold too drunk Your coverage of Hunter Thompson’s recent appearance shows the usual lack of care and irresponsibility demonstrated by campus journalism. It seems that both Susan Gray and Loel Mayersohn had very dim views of Dr. Thompson before they were even given their assignments. 1 find it rather disgusting to print both a misinformed article disguised as a “commentary” and the mindless editorial that appeared inside. For the benefit of those who weren’t there, Dr. Thompson arrived late due to lack of planning on the part of the Speakers Bureau. Since he had to wait around he took to the cocktail lounge. You bet he was drunk. You would be too if you had to wait around in the Buffalo Airport to be picked up. The writers must be just out of diapers to have been shocked at Thompson’s account of the fight. I saw the fight on TV and think that his account was correct if not played down. Calling the Superdome a “giant scumbag” was definitely being kind with his words. Dr. Thompson is a man (and one of the very few) who’ll say anything he pleases to anyone, no matter who he is. Why do you think he was stomped upon by the Hell’s Angels? It appears that both the writers and the editors are part of those who think that, “Thompson is a depraved misfit to be denied press credentials at all costs.” The major reason for the “angry and bored” audience was the Speaker’s Bureau failed to provide an adequate sound system. Statements that he was ... I was way in the back and Lenny Rollins speaking. Neither myself or anybody I talked to could, remember anything about an announcement in reference to throwing objects or attacking The Gonz. The evening started off poorly on account of couldn’t hear Rollins who tried to play moderator and got the crowd’s mind stuck on the fight which Thompson obviously didn’t want to talk about. Rollins was quickly put down by shouts of “be quiet and let the man talk.” Thompson was still pestered all evening long by some selective idiots whose only collective question was whether he thought the fight was fixed. After a good deal of the audience had departed, the remaining crowd moved up front to what proved to be an interesting exchange between Thompson and the audience. After coming into listening range I picked up the characteristic Thompson wit. As the good doctor finished he received a rousing ovation and was crowded by fifty people who jumped onstage and talked to him for another half hour. It seems your “commentary” obviously neglected such facts. He moved out of the auditorium with a disappointed look on his face. One could see he was thoroughly disgusted due to the fact that little consideration was given to him as a speaker. I feel The Spectrum owes Hunter Thompson an apology for its unprofessional coverage of a fellow journalist, however, I’ll tell hijn not to hold his breath waiting. Jeffrey Levine Dissidents rot in prison while U.S. big business shares Moscow Olympic loot. Soviet terror is nothing new. For years, thousands of Soviet citizens have rotted in their country’s notorious jails because of their political and religious beliefs. What is new is the Kremlin’s obvious determination to wipe out all before the by any means necessary dissent Moscow Olympics in 1980. And something else: While Soviet dictators crack down on dissidents while the most dangerous and aggressive power on earth flaunts its total disregard for the rights provisions included in the Helsinki agreement it signed in 1975 . while all this is taking place before the eyes of the world, some of America’s biggest and most influential corporate giants are tripping over each other to cash in on a pot of Soviet gold. Olympic gold. In fact, thanks to its unholy alliance with U.S. big business, the Soviet stands to gross more than $2 billion 2,835 spinoff Olympic products and deals, including the $100 million agreement with NBC-TV to telecast 16 days of propaganda-filled Olympic coverage. Here is the story of yet another Soviet-managed spinoff scheme. As in the case.of NBC, it is sad .'.. but true. Commemorate terror coins Olympic — 1 — / .. . . • average. In such a context it is amazing to me that our State continues to pour money into further expansion of some of the public universities, when there is room in the independent institution?, and also at other public institutions already built. With regard to SUNY/Buffalo, I have the highest respect for the institution and its students, but I am profoundly disturbed when it disrupts the enrollment pattern for both the independent and other public institutions in Western New York by suddenly announcing an increase of 500 freshmen in v mission in the SUNY system is that of being an outstanding graduate center. Thus programs like graduate music, and professional schools like pharmacy, law, medicine and dentistry, are very much in order. But what has this to do with late June. ‘ SUNY/Buffalo’s 500 extra freshmen? Freshmen are undergraduates, far removed from SUNY/Buffalo’s mission as a graduate center. This is a serious distortion of the University’s approved and accepted mission in the educational mosaic of our state. The continued construction of buildings based some ten years ago, when enrollments were continually rising, but not revised in the interim when the demographic picture has completely changed, is bad public policy.' It exacerbates the competition for students, it adds to the financial burden of maintaining and supporting the new buildings, and it threatens the economic on a plan drawn up stability of our state. I would remind The Spectrum readers that they will be taxpayers tehmselves some day. When that time I hope they will be interested in where and how governments are spending their tax money. The dissidents and Soviet gold To the Editor. 1 read with great interest your September 13, 1978 article “Capisius headlined, President Denounces Amherst Construction.” The main thrust of my remarks dealt with the use of taxpayers’ money. 1 think this is an especially vital topic today, when taxpayers are beginning to ask governments (local, state and federal) where and how they are spending their tax money, and are even cutting off huge portions of tax revenues through measures like California’s Proposition 13. My argument is a simple one and can be summarized as follows: (1) It costs the taxpayers of New York State $15,416 to educate a student for four years in the State and City Universities, while it costs the taxpayers $1,840 to educate a student for four years in an independent college, (2) If taxpayers want to save money, they can get a fantastic bargain by supporting thus independent colleges and universities, which pay the greater part of their bills by private enterprise and not by government subsidy. New York State has a serious, some would say disastrous, tax problem, which is continuing to drive out industry and abolish job opportunities. State and local taxes were 43 percent above the national average seven years ago; last year they were 63 per cent higher. It is thus imperative that the State take advatage of the savings afforded it by the independent sector of higher education. Overall, New York State spends less than the national average for teh subsidizing of higher education, and yet ranks near the top of the nation in access to college. The reason for this is percisely the fact that the independent institutions are educating many more students than the national Occidental Petroleum, hazard Freres, Loeb Rhoades, Hornblower and other major coporate and financial institutions have formed an international syndicate to market and distribute $800 million worth of Soviet-made Olympic, coins. Peddling these so-called commemorative coins is far from the innocent enterprise the Soviet and their American partners claim it is. On the contrary, the coin deal adds up to nothing less than a fat, juicy reward to the Soviets for the terror they have unleashed. Why? Because in the coins, which are redeemable only in Russia rubles . are a source of desperately needed hard currency for Moscow’s financially sick totalitarian regime.

The following resolution was adopted by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee at its meeting on May 3, 1978: “The Faculty Senate Executive Committee commends the President for adhering to the policy of not allowing government officials to have access to personal files of students or staff without a subpeona. This policy is vital for preserving confidentiality and privacy for protecting members of the University against unwarranted harassment; government officials are not prevented from exercising their legitimate functions by being required to secure a subpeona.” Newton Carver, Chair Faculty Senate �V.

Although the origins of the termination letter are disputed, most staffers and College residents believe Kirsch acted neither swiftly nor efficiently enough to recruit CUS members at the beginning of the year. “The move from Wilkeson to Fargo provided us with more space and greater resources,” one College resident said, “but Steve just didn’t take advantage of this.” CUS Administrative Coordinator Jim Hughes, in response to Kirsch’s refusal to resign, pointed out that his termination is “the considered judgement of the Dean of the the College staff,” but refused to comment further. largemouth future use of the lake as a which may be built on the recreational fishery possible.

While other Colleges were holding beer blasts, wine and cheese parties, and other recruitment activities, CUS was not heard from. After some informal discussion between Kirsch and CUS officials produced no viable solution, the termination letter was sent. Some members alleged Kirsch had unnecessarily involved himself in a policy dispute. One active staffer commented, “Steve Kirsch has many capabilities. However, his involvement in intra-college disputes, along with non-performance, has extinguished his effectiveness. Nevertheless, he is a capable, responsible person.” Kirsch, brushing criticism aside, spoke of his plans to strengthen the College by increasing educational and cultural programs. Ignoring his current standing, Kirsch said, “The College residential system has a great deal to offer.” The proceedings now hinge upon Kirsch’s response to Acting Dean of the Colleges, Claude Welch. In other business, Professor of Anthropology Irwin Johnson, the College Master designate, outlined plans to advise and guide students along academic lines through the bureaucracy.

Spectrum Talking to a group of students, Offering a soohting voice and logical thought, Elie Wiesel, a survivor of the Holocaust who has lived to write avidly about it, spoke in Squire Hall’s Fillmore as well as a large section of the local Jewish community, Wiesel spoke about a number of topics relating to Judaism today. He was introduced by Rabbi Pape of Chabad House on campus. In regard to the upcoming Jewish New Year, Wiesel, speaking in a melodic but strong voice not unlike a fervent Baptist preacher, said that all Jews must prepare to account for everything, and that all must remember everything they did as all will be judged by Cod. Wiesel’s most persistant point and important message was the idea that Jews remember and keep their heritage. “There is nothing more dangerous or sterile for a person not to assume one’s past and heritage,” he said. This, according to Wiesel is a universal concept, and what keeps a person alive. He stressed the idea that one must be open to one’s heritage and culture. Exciting beauty Wiesel’s works were no influenced by his education at the Sorbonne, but by his early religious training. “In order to give, you must receive, in order to receive, you must have your Jewish character,” he proclaimed. For Wiesel, the Bible offers much in terms of heritage and beauty. “There is beauty, exciting beauty. It is more than philosophy, teaching and religion, it is beautiful.” He recalled how once a teacher of his had done such an in-depth study of the First Book of Isaiah that at the term’s conclusion, only the first chapter had been completed. Yet, Wiesel concluded that this was fine, and that this is the way it should be taught, enabling him to slowly savor his rich heritage. His love for the Torah, the Jewish holy Scriptures, gave him a sense of security, and he viewed the Torah as his “shield.” “As a Jew 1 was always fascinated by the Torah. In a fire the Torah does not bpm, it is protected. This sybolizes the indestructibility of the Jews. They cannot destroy the Jewish spirit.” Holocaust Wiesel clearly says that it is a Jew’s heritage and pride of heritage that keeps him alive; it is his existence What Wiesel terms as unique of the Hebrew faith is dedication and passion of the past and their religious teachers, as well as their teachers having such respect for their students. “No other movement is like the Hassidic Movement, it is a friendship; a brotherhood. When a Jew speaks to a Jew about Jews, others learn.” Speaking about the Holocaust era, Wiesel concluded that such an event had a universal effect. He said what man had done to the Jewish people he had done to himself. “The only way to prevent a universal destruction is to remind the rest of the world of our Holocaust.” A characteristic of the Jews, Wiesel said, is that they all listen and speak. “Dialogue is the substance of the Jewish people . . we listen, but we also hear we must. Abraham was not addressed directly be God as Abraham, yet he thought he was. He listened carefully.” Wiesel . ... —Buchanan Author Elie Wiesel 'Another war will be the Holocaust of the world added that we must be involved in everything against war. Not to be Jewish.” “The key is responsibility. Responsibility for the past. fight to Responsibility for the present,” he said. Another charactereistic of the Jews is their ability to turn their past into strength and hope for the future, according to Wiesel. “We turn memory into art; we turn pain into promise, we turn anguish into hope; we turn our past into ours and your future.” Questioned on the recent Mid-East peace talks at Camp David, Wiesel said it was absolutely wonderful, and that it is an example for mankind. He recalled how happy he was when Sadat made his historic trip to Jerusalem. Remembering that it was Sadat who had ofter instigated trouble in the Mid-East, “1 was moved to tears by the that people after only three years could accept that symbol of war (Sadat) and could overcome such bitterness and war,” Wiesel said. An audience member asked if he thought the Jews were superior. “I. do not believe in superiority,” he answered. “As a JeW'T do not believe you can live any other way than a Jew. Through your Jewishness you are a link to mankind,” he furthered. Closing on the topic of the Holocaust, Wiesel left his audience miracle unfolding — with his characteristic optimism. “1 don’t believe another Holocaust can occur. Nothing has like it before it, ot nothing like it will ever happen again. It cannot happen again. I’m happened afraid for the world, another war will be the Holocaust of the world. But out of all this abyss, a light will shine.” Booth funds needed Tickets to movies, concerts and shows cannot be purchased on the Amherst Campus even if the event is at Amherst, according to Sub Board Treasurer Michael Volan. Originally a ticket booth similar to the one in Squire Hall on the Main Street Campus was scheduled to be built on the first floor in Capen Hall in the Academic Spine. The Office of Facilities Planning decided that the space could be better used by the Career Guidance and Placement Office. The decision to place the Career Guidance Office there instead of the booth was made by Vice President of Student Affairs, Richard Siggelkow. “1 feel that the use of the space the way it is now is far more important,” Siggelkow said. “I think that it is the best thing for the student body. The ticket office is a service, while Career Guidance is an educational facility aside from the fact that students already have a ticket office," he added. Sub Board the student corporation that operates the Main Street ticket office is now left with the responsibility of getting a ticket office at Amherst. The plan is to re-do the present ‘ticket booth’, at a cost of approximately $8,000. The unused three and one half foot high booth (which has no security) stands near the Woldman Theater, directly above the Norton Cafeteria. “Sub Board does not feel responsible for renovating,” said Volan. “It will be able to manage $1,600 which will go to special equipment like locked file cabinets, ticket racks, and an announcement board,” - UU\ 1)CULTURAL AND PERFORMING ARTS COMMITTEE PRESENTS: iFunng? until (Eljrie (Animal Hnuac) miller THURSDAY, SEPT 28th in the FILLMORE ROOM — — Volan said.

A: Mott specifically, the Colleges. Here was a place where there was the ideals of the 60s and the institutional framework for possibly implementing those ideals. I also like the kind of people here. They were my kind of people. It was also a challenge. I had written a lot about all kinds of change and here was a chance to practice what I had preached. I decided there were two learning experiences which could test my ideas about creating an institutional framework for change in a large post-industrial bureacracies. One was the director of the Colleges. The other was Mayor of New York. The Mayor of New York didn't happen to be open at the time. Q; What else attracted you? A: This is the proto-typical large, state university at a time when the large majority of students in post secondary education will be experiencing that. The city of Buffalo was another especially in its multi-ethnicity. The problems facing Buffalo are very typical of large urban areas, very typical. This is the great opportunity the University is always missing. All sdcieties have had to conform to this multi-ethnicity. All the problems that post industrial societies have to face are here, in Buffalo. Q; Briefly describe the conditions of the Colleges when you arrived here. A: The Colleges were a group of very intelligent students, faculty and staff and committed people tied together by a commitment to alternative education (all but two of the Colleges at the time and they were in a battle were non*residential) with everyone. They were fighting the Faculty Senate, they were fighting the Vice President and to some degree they were fighting the community. Q: Would you say they were fighting for aspect, I don’t believe the Colleges still operate under a siege mentality. If I thought that was still a problem, I would not have resigned ... The other milestone in Spitzberg's rein was the move of all but two of the Colleges to the Ellicott Complex during the 1974-75 academic year. Q: How did the move to Ellicott fit in with the peat potential of the city of Buffa?o? Weren't there fears that the tie with the city would be lost? A; One thing the move did was create the beginning of our bus culture, which is the most terrible cross students have had to bear. Most of the Colleges managed to maintain the birdge. There was a little bit of inward turning so they could create their own identities. At that time the identity of the individual Colleges was critical. Until the move to Ellicott, the idea of individual Colleges was always submerged by the Collegiate Assembly. That was the critical change. Q: Is the Ellicott Complex, which was designed for the Colleges, their ideal place? A: I think that we have successfully created communities in spite of, instead of because of, the Ellicott Complex. The people who wrote the and the architects worked program for Ellicott did not understand the from somebody's program space configurations necessary for creating communities. too small or lounges that are too big and not secure. Q: Did you get the sense that square pegs are constant!# being put in round holes in Ellicott? A: No, I think we are round pegs being put in square holes. The students, faculty and staff are pretty well rounded people who are trying to put up with space problems created by people who only knew how to make square holes. - — - ...

But, for a number of reasons, not the least of which was an emerging stereotype of the interviewer as Ketter’s non-stop attacker, we did not dwell on Spitzberg vs: the President, although it did spice the conversation once. Change and criticism are Spitzberg's themes vhen discussing the University. He also emphasizes the comonality of the quest to create a great institution. Students, faculty, staff and administration share the blame for whatever stagnation we complain about. Spitzberg suggests.

A: Well, Art Levine [Former Provost of Arts and Letters] interviewed large numbers of people on that. The range of views went from outright hostility to a general skepticism. At best there was a sense that 'they're promising, but we have to start all over.' I saw my major challegne to be getting the regular University faculty on the side of the Colleges ...

A: In so far as they are always challenging him. the President. To some degree, and this is unfortunate, the departments that are losing enrollment, although it is not at all clear that the Colleges are taking enrollments ... Q: Well. How about this then. Did the experimental nature of the Ellicott Complex fit in with the experimental nature of the Colleges? A; I'm not so sure that Ellicott is an experimental place. I think the exterior is experimental and very successfully so. The interior is hardly the same way. The Complex was designed by people who were envisioning the Colleges at Oxford, Harvard, Yale and the supper clubs at Princeton Experimental? In many ways the design of the Complex cuts against that. . .. Q: How? A: For example, the provisidns for secure activity space are atrocious. When you start projects you either have to start them in offices which are Spitzberg considers the Reichert Prospectus, the work of Physics Professor and former Faculty Senate Chairman Jonathan Reichert, one of two landmarks in the success of the Colleges. Observing that, “Reichert pumped me like a well" for ideas on how the Colleges ought to be structured, Spitzberg felt the document played a crucial role in winning faculty respect and support for the Colleges a development he would later consider one of his great successes “It gave us a constitutional framework for change," he said, “which fit in very much with my ideas." The prospectus established the chartering process still a key portion of the Collegiate mandating that each College justify system here its existence before a broad-based review board. “I'd put it up against evaluation procedure in any public setting that know about in the U.S. or elsewhere," Spitzberg said in unabashed praise of the chartering - - - / procedure. Implementing the policy during the 1974-75 academic year proved to be "one of the wildest experiences I've had in education." he said. "It’s a miracle we made it through without a riot We reviewed a dozen Colleges in a year. But every one was looked at "It works," Spitzberg concluded. After easing faculty animosity toward the Colleges, Spitzberg was left with one problem he didn't fully anticipate when accepting his post. It was a problem that a lot of scholars lured here by Martin Meyarson’s and Nelson Rockefeller’s grand vision of SUNY Buffalo didn't anticipate: the collapse that burst a thousand bubbles here and plunged a steamrolling university into a mirthy tunnel of stagnation, broken only by the ominous the Bluebird Bus. headlights of the crisis' symbol The financial crunch hit the Colleges always on the periphery of the power structure as hard, or harder than any sector of the University. And Spitzberg had to become, in his words, a "first-rate pauper ..." "One of the mistakes I made in assessing the University was that there was a pot of gold that would allow the Colleges to move from a state of destitution to a state of lower middle class existence. / was shown the governor's budget and the documents for dipping into this pot of gold. I even got a commitment in writing. But the legislature cut the Governor's budget and deleted support money for the Ellicott Complex. After the fact it meant fighting for every dollar / got. By the 1975-76 year, the Colleges began to ",slowly identify other sources of funding," Spitzberg explained. How? "By picking every pocket around, use anything you can get your hands on. We also transformed our budget process from awarding money to the loudest shooter to an agreement on criteria and using that criteria to distribute money." Such an agreement is a crystalline example of the things Spitzberg is most proud of. That, in a University characterized by units battling for their share of the goodies, the Colleges could agree on a system to allocate money is an accomplishment Spitzberg beams when discussing. Spitzberg was forced to fight for money, forced to fight for faculty support and forced, / suspect from the very beginning, to fight for Robert L. Ketter's respect, or perhaps even Ketter's attention. The Colleges, largely on the reputation achieved before Spitzberg's arrival, have always symbolized the radical, the non-comformist, the fringe of the University. The President, of course, represents the antithesis of all those things. Irving Spitzberg, Dean of the Colleges, whose roots shot out political change and civil disturbance, served for five years at the pleasure of Robert Ketter, who quelled unrest at this University and built a base of support on a tough "law and order" image.

And I get a certain pleasure from a good fight. There were always a lot of good fights. What else? Well, one of the aspects I've enjoyed is that it's a job that requires a statement on every subject.

Q: So are you saying tower principle? \ . . we’re stuck with the ivory A: Both are wrong. This place is in some ways developing the worst of both worlds. It allows the service station and the ivory tower to grow up side by side and never the 'twain do speak. The University just isn't the critical force that it should be. That is mainly because there is no leadership. Q: But how much does the daily functioning of the University, which is what you're talking about, reflect leadership? A: Well— Q: Or lack of leadership. A: Yes. At a huge multi-university like this one, there are all sorts of really good people who, toiling in their own vineyards, are doing really good things. But in the end, you're not going to have a whole without leadership. The responsibility for that is all of ours. We students, we faculty, have simply got to decide that, as responsible public citizens, we are going to develop a political system that will allow us to agree on a range of goals for the University. Q: Are you saying that the University needs to do what the Colleges have done? A: Yes. Q: Well, does this infant of an Academic Plan length.

But we place too much of an emphasis on plans where the real question is the system by which we make decisions and the people who make them.

All of which is. absoltuely crucial to success in an undergraduate education. Q: Are you fascinated by students? A: I'm a little hesitant to respond to the term 'fascination' because I'm fascinated by good things and bad things. I enjoy teaching. I enjoy people. So I've alway enjoyed students. One wouldn't be in the Colleges if he didn't enjoy students. Q; Do you feel most studetns have a warped view of what an education should be? A: No. Not at all. Most students have no view.

The bagel derived from a Viennese legend dating back to 1683, when Vienna feared Turkish invasion. The king of Poland admirably aided Vienna and ultimately she withstood, securely. In gratitude, a Viennese baker, aware of the Polish king’s bread fetish, concocted a “beugal” shaped like a stirrup, commemorating the horses which galloped for the Polish army. Over the years the bagel’s form simplified, to a rounded shape. European Jews immigrated to America, during the late 1800’$-1900’s, transporting the bagel with them. They settled on the lower east side of New York City and there the bagel industry began to expand. Bagels quickly caught on and eventually butter. Others prefer cream cheese.

The Housing Custodial Service (HCS), headed by Dewey Bush and Richard Cudeck, spends an average of $3,500 a month or a whopping $32,000 per year on vandalism. — Vandals strike If less money is spent on repairing or replacing damage done by vandals, more money could be spent for students, Cudek stated. New lounge equipment, such as pool tables, couches and chairs, could be provided for student use if the funds were available.

Discharged fire extinguishers and stolen exit signs are also targets, he said. When windows, walls and furniture are broken or damaged, Bush said, monies are spent in windows first, walls order second and furniture last.

Vandalism costs everyone at UB in terms of how the money now used to replace or repair objects could be used elsewhere. A startling $32,000 a year is spent on vandalism, and even then, items irreparably damaged are not replaced. The Amherst Campus bears the heaviest brunt of the damage. windows and plaster board walls are tempting targets for vandals. he said. Main Street dormitories receive more furniture vandalism than Amherst because of the fewer number of windows and cinder block walls. The largest case of vandalism in terms of money, according to Cudek, was in the 1976-77 school year when $1,000 worth of furniture was thrown down an elevator shaft in Goodyear Hall. The incident not only destroyed furniture but also created a fire hazard. Party poopers Most vandalism occurs at night, especially on weekends, Boughner said. Weekends are the time when many students throw parties and when a group of students get together, the situation can get out of hand and property destroyed, he commented. Controlling vandalism is not an easy task. HCS is there to “clean up afterwards,” but prevention is largely up to the students, Bush remarked. Vandalism is impossible to predict. The only ones who can prevent it are those who are already there, Bush said. If a other students student sees vandalizing or misusing furniture, they should put a stop to it even if they have to lock the student in his room until he straightens up, Cudeck added. Only 11 percent of all vandals are caught. Vandalism is a criminal offense, Boughner warned computer bases its on a multitude of comparisons. It leaves the manipulating to its programmers.

But her lesson came too late. Before she knew it it had cost the team their first defeat a 4-3 loss to Fredonia. “We beat Fredonia 6-1 last year,” Camnitz said, “1 guess this time they were ready for us or else 1 made a mistake in switching the doubles partners around.” Camnitz was forced to change her lineup around when scheduled fifth singles player Denise Kouril was sick and unable to make the trip. The coach placed usual doubles player Kris Schumat at fifth singles and paired Judy Wisniewski and Lynne Kirchmaier at first doubles while Lynda Stidham and Lucia Jones were placed in the number two slot. This move split Stidham and Kirchmaier and Wisniewski and Schum who are usually counted on for their two points in the tearrn — ' score. * —' Easy time However, Schum proved to be a good choice for singles as she breezed her way home 6-0, 6-1. “Kris had an easy time on the court,” commented teammate Dee Dee Fisher. “! think her match was over in ten minutes.” Fisher, playing first singles, also found the competition to be a piece of cake, winning 6-0, 6-3. “I played well and just waited until my opponent made the mistakes,” she explained, adding, “she made plenty of them.” Heidi Juhl and Carol Waddell, playing third and fourth singles respectively, found their Fredonia foes tougher to contend with than their victorious teammates had. Freshman Juhl suffered her first collegiate loss 6-1, 7-5. Waddell played out three sets only to lose her season’s second match 6-1, 1-6, 6-4. April Zolczer provided the team’s thrid point enduring a tougfT match to win 1-S, 2-6, 6-2. New confidence It was Zolczer’s first time at second singles, as she previously occupied the number one spot, but it was also her first victory of the season. “Now that-I’ve won a match this season, I feel my confidence returning,” Zolczer said. “I’ve been a little nervous lately because 1 haven’t been winning, but this first victory should shake some of that off. At least I hope it will.” The new doubles partners lost both matches, upsetting the perfect record the “double trouble” teams have posted so far this season. Kirchmaier and Wisniewski had played once together'as a team the previous week but that wasn’t enough; their lack of experience together proved crucial in their 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 defeat. Stidham, not used to defeat, was paired with rookie Jones and the unwise teaming spelled a 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 loss.

Consequently, he assumed that either the Bulls did not want cheerleaders this year, or that the UB Football Foundation was going to take care of it. At the start of the football season, Devin received several phone calls from women wondering why a cheerleading squad had not been formed this year. Since then he has begun work on a budget for the squad, possibly putting in $100 from his budget, or handing the matter over to the Student Association. Last week, an ad for a faculty advisor to coach the squad was placed in The Spectrum, but “as of yet there has been no faculty response,” Devin : Lecture Series Devin expects that budget and advisor problems will be smoothed out in about two weeks, hopefully in time for the Waynesburg game, September 30. “Having cheerleaders at the games would be fantastic,” said Dan Daniels Business Manager of the Sports Department. “1 would love to see them out there.” He added that cheerleaders are “a very, very large part of any college sport,” simply because of the school spirit and unity they create. Bulls co-captain Jim Vaux “was really disappointed that they weren’t there. I’m all for having cheerleaders.’’ Many students also feel that cheerleaders are essential to the team. “They attract more people to the game,” stated Steve Siegel. “We need them for spirit we just need team spirit,” added Annette —. White. One reason that really hit home was given by a woman, who said, “When I was a cheerleader in high school, it helped, if the team lost, to know we were out there cheering for them.” Marcy Phillips on China Today: From underdevelopment towards modernization \ ’ stated season assortment of injuries ineffective, Rodreguez played the entire for split end flanker Frank Price, who caught six passes on the afternoon and split end . the side line and headed uptield, turning on his flashing speed. Now Rodriguei, who only last week saw a late Buffalo rally thwarted, stood in the midst of his pass protection. He pumped and threw long. Quatrani reached out, his defender lunged, and when it was over the Buffalo Bulls had what took eight years to re-capture, the thrill of victory. POM-POMS AND CIRCUMSTANCE: Though the Bulls lack cheerleaders of their own, the Buffalo Jills of the NFL stepped in and led the cheers before a home crowd of better than 3000 people. The Jills besides displaying their talent gave a sizeable contribution to charity. After winning, the Bulls want the Jills every week, and why not.

His ability to come back for teh ball and keep a careful eye Hinton Brockport totaled 439 yards on offense against UB. With swift scoring drives, UB was not able to rest the defense for any long period of time. “We’ve got real good depth this year, something we lacked last year,” said defense the first down marker has made him possibly the Bulls most tackle Rothman. valuable man on the offense.

Officials here and in Albany are cast as impotent followers of DOS’s lead. Funds that make it through the long, entangled budget process of New York State are annually penciled out by tight fisted bureaucracy. There are no formulas, no priorities, no spending plans that DOB must obey. According to the Director of the libraries, Saktidas Roy, DOB refuses to use SUNY’s accepted formula for computing the amount of money a university library should receive. “DOB makes arbitrary decisions,” Roy GAs, TAs still battle for ‘a livable wage’ — by Harvey Shapiro year. Last year, UB was allocated money for only 44,000 new acquisitions. Saktkte* Roy Dirac tor of Univartity Librariat said, “We can use all the formulas we want, they (DOB) just don’t pay attention.” The plan UB uses for budget purposes is termed the “Voight Formula,” after its founder Melvin Voight, head librarian at the University of California at San Diego. It has been accepted as the standard foT all the SUNY Centers by SUNY Centra), but has been 1978 Meanwhile, as reported Wednesday in The Spectrum, SUNY Binghamton receives far more acquisition money per student than Buffalo. Despite SUNY-wide tight money Binghamton's acquisition figures have remained close to what the Voight Formula would call for. Binghamton currently receives 64 per cent of the accepted figure while UB languishes with less than 50 per cent.

Within a five-year timetable, and Egypt Israel, Jordan, Palestinian representatives will negotiate the status of the West Bank with the aim of concluding a final peace treaty between Jordan and Israel. In the interim, the Palestinians will be granted full autonomy and self government; the Israelis dismantling their reasons. Here, Begin has granted a major concession by agreeing to place the entire framework under the umbrella of United Nation’s Security Council Resolution 242. This resolution, approved shortly after the 1967 war, has been continually repudiated by the Israelis since it calls for their withdrawal from all occupied something they have territories adamantly refused to do. In this it appears that Begin has backed off from his hardline stance on Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank an area Begin maintains are the biblical lands of Judea and Samaria, inseparable components of “Eretz Yisrael” (Land of Israel).

Claiming advertisements gave no clue to the nature of the performance, one irate student said, “To have to pay $3 to hear a conversion speech stinks.” Sponsored by the Campus Crusade for Christ International (CCC1), Kole, himself a member of the ministry, has been, since Tuesday, the target of firey criticism from students who feel they were the victims of “false advertisement.” Maintaining that posters made no mention of a religiously oriented program, but sold the show by offering “elaborate two-hour stage production, presenting the fantasy and reality of the supernatural world,” students were dismayed to find one hour of magic and one hour of “preaching,” An undergraduate student, llyse Heinig, recalled the format of the evening. “The first half, one hour, was fantastic magic. Then, however, right before a levitation act Kole explained that he was going to do magic with religion and didn’t want people to stay if they would be embarrassed,” she explained. Another irritated student believed that even the magician’s forewarning was a coax. She said, “Kole told the audience that what he was about to do ‘might offend you.’ This in itself was a suspense build up. I wanted to see what would happen.” Bend heads Sources revealed that the magician preached about belief in Jesus and salvation. Heinig stated that it was not until the performer asked the audience to “bend their heads in prayer” that a number of people left. Director of Squire Union, Robert Henderson, who is responsible for room reservations said CCCI is innocent of any rule violations. that Affirming he could understand “Individuals, not just Jews, feeling used, maybe for advertisement under false pretenses,” Henderson said that he was scheduled to meet Wednesday with CCCI representative Teery Valentine to discuss student complaints. Henderson shared the common belief that, “If you charge for a performance saying you are presenting an illusionist, he should not be one with a sermon.” Said student Jill Seinbeid, “Prayers are fine but if the ad said two hours of magic, that’s what I paid $3 for.” She added, “It’s one entirely different thing if you went knowing what was going to happen.” Posters indicated views When questioned about publicity for the event, CCCI’s Valentine blamed the misunderstanding on The Spectrum’s negligence in failing to print a press release detailing Kole’s partitipation in the ministry. “All posters indicated Kole’s religious and spiritual experiences.” Valentine also pointed out that posters indicated that CCCI was sponsoring Kole. “It is a universal law,” he said, “that people, the majority anyway, go to a meeting because of who is sponsoring it.” Valentine added that people cannot rely 100 per cent on media for coverage. “We can’t make a poster big enough to tell all,” he stated.. The poster, 17 inches high, contained a line describing CCCI as the sponsor in letters measuring less than one-seventh of an inch. According to Jim Allen, Attorney for UB’s Group Legal Services, CCCI has not violated any law. Allen pointed out that the use of words such as “spiritual” and “inspired,” could be interpreted to have religious overtones. “Students would have a hard time proving a case for false advertisement,” he said. Attorney General mandate No mention of refunds was made to the disappointed audience on Tuesday. Valentine commented, “There were no refunds because the religion was brought in only for the last 15 or 20 minutes and even then no one was asked to leave.” He added, “Not more than 8 or 10 people left anyway.” Henderson stated that whether the event was called a meeting or a magic show, “we would have been concerned, but I don’t think we would have called it off.” He pointed out a mandate by Attorney General Lefkowitz which recognized that religious organizations may use state space on special occasions to meet the needs of the university community. CCCI members were generally pleased with the event. Believing that 47 people responded favorably to Kole and sought further information, ministry member Jean Drumsta commented, “It’s great Kole can combine his fantastic entertainment with giving people the truth about what God says about himself and their relationship with him.” �i Professional Philosophy professor delves into paranormal investigations “I saw a UFO last night! tell it to Philosophy a Kurtz, Paul professor professional skeptic, who is also Chairman of the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims to the Paranormal fGo (CSICP).

Abbott Library, now used for storage, is to become the site of an expanded Health Science library according to Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal. However for Abbott’s transformation to take place, an additional wing must be added to the existing buying. The wing cannot be built without aid from the State and there have been no planning appropriations yet. However. Neal said that a request would be included in next year’s budget. When asked about an estimated cost for the plan and where it stands on the priority list of making the Main Street campus a Health Science center Assistant Vice President for Facilities Planning A1 Dahlberg saijJ, “I think the construction of the library is rather far down the track.” formerly located in The recent move of the Lockwood Library to the Amherst Campus was a big step towards the Abbott library the future goal of transferring the majority of the University from the Main Street to Amherst Campus. The move, which will leave only the Medical and other Health related professions on Main Street, will occur in the next decade. Before state aid is appropriated and construction plans are drawn Abbott will continue to be used for book storage. The possibility up, of office space and study areas is also being contemplated for the structure, according to Neal. At this time, the books stored in Abbott are the poetry collection along with assorted Health Science books, “totalling 50,000 to 60,000” said Director of University Libraries Saktidas Roy. The poetry books are to be moved to the new Lockwood library located on the Academic Spine at a yet to be determined date. Since there is very little study space on the Main Street campus, why is Abbott Library being used as a storage area? Although it is definitely one of the more prestigious looking buildings in the University, Dahlberg said, “The University is also short of storage - - — ' — space.” In the past, Abbott Library has had many structural problems. The roof was known to leak forcing the library staff to protect books and journals from the dripping roof.

The greatest and most complex facet of apartheid is the “economic face of racism.” The United States has been supporting South Africa by investing and loaning money.

Psychological racism, he pointed out, depends heavily on the apartheid state. Repressed blacks feel indifference from Western cultures, especially Americans.

Woods had been banned by the South African government from any father writing because of his critical stance on the South African government. The banning marked the end of Woods and his family’s life in South Africa. Woods was brought up a racist and a supporter 6f the apartheid system. His political ideals started shifting to the left while he was attending Capetown Law School. Though his ideology was reflected Woods’ life Biko and the pro-black editor were good friends up until Biko died in a South African jail on October 19, 1977. Woods started questions through his paper. Why was Biko jailed under South Africa’s security laws laws which deny the defendent of a free trial; the right to know why he is being held; and without evidenced Why was there no inquiry into the death? The government termed the death “accidental.” death Biko’s initiated international protest. And Woods was banned. “My protests were starting to be quoted around the world in the New York Times and the London Times. It was then, the same time my journalism had a real effect on the South African asking - backseat of his car as his wife drove him out of town.

Fear, hiding Probably the most ironic thing that happened, Woods recalled, was that when “1 finally met up with the rest of my family in a black countryside outside South Africa there Were black guards watching my children. I find it kind of funny that a black had to protect my white children from white men.” While Woods lived under the ban in his homeland, he wrote a book about Steven Biko. The book was written against the banning regulations. “It was very difficult for me,” he Said. “During the day friends of my children would come into the house and —continued on page 30— CHABAD HOUSE WANTED: Graduate or Under graduate student to serve as Chair of Faculty Student Assoc., Inc. $ • — Banning — different way of dying,” he said. — was - matter of fact,” said state, compared the polity there to Hitler’s regime. “It’s just a “South Africa is the wealthiest nation per capita in the world,” Woods noted, “and it also has the highest infant mortality rate in the world.” The former editor of the East London Daily Dispatch pointed out that, aside from Russia, South Africa is the world’s only source for gold, mines more than the of world’s nine-tenths diamonds and a supplies considerable portion of the world’s uranium.

The candidates are vying to by Marcy Carroll Spectrum Staff Writer 8 f become one of the six commuter and four dorm Senators chosen in the elections scheduled for September 27, 28 and 29. At Wednesday’s meeting, the candidates were advised of the campaign rules and regulations by the Committee of Election and Credentials (E&C). The rules govern all aspects of the campaign, from spending limitations to location of posters throughout the University. A major revision in this year’s regulations concerns E&C’s endorsement policy. Previously, only The Spectrum could endorse candidates. This year, however, the committee decided it would be in the best interests of students if any recognized SA organization could make endorsements. An A marvelous source of human interaction is being taken for granted at this University foreign students. Approximately five percent of the UB population is comprised of students from over 100 foreign countries. According to the National Center for Educational Statistics in Washington, Buffalo ranks thirtieth in the nation’s foreign enrollment, as compared to other state institutions of comparable size with research and graduate centers. Sixty percent of UB’s foreign population consist of students enrolled in various graduate programs. Engineering comprising the largest enrollment. - But foreign students are more than mere statistics. “The majority of foreigners come here by their own choice, primarily to gain technical or graduate training that may not be available in their own countries,” states Consultant to Foreign Students and Scholars Joseph Williams, Some students are sponsored by various foundations, such as the Fulbright Program. “There are a few foreigners from wealthy families, many, many more who are poor. A vast majority have a standard of living lower than their American Libraries shortchange counterparts.” Bridge the gap Contrary to popular belief, UB rarely subsidizes foreign scholars. A small tuition waiver program exists, but approximately one out of seven students receive financial aid from the University. Foreigners are not eligible for work-study programs or job opportunities enjoyed by New York State resisdents; it is stipulated by the U S. Department of Immigration that foreign students be prohibited from working off-campus unless there is “explicit” evidence of a family financial E&C spokesperson indicated that, “constituency should be able to ensure the best representation in the Senate and endorsements will allow for this to occur.” Two forums will be held to acquaint students with the candidates: the first on Monday, Sept. 25 at 1:30 p.m. in Haas Lounge; the second forum will take place the following evening in the Porter Lounge of the Ellicott Complex at 8 p.m. At this time all candidates will be given the opportunity for short speeches and students will be able to pose questions to the prospective senators. E&C officials were surprised at the limited number of candidates who handed in election petitions, although they could offer no explanation why this occurred. Eight commuters submitted petitions and thirteen dormitory students will attempt to garner a senate seat. „ crisis. Aside from fiscal crises, which these students share with their American counterparts, are problems of adjusting to a new culture and environment. To bridge this gap, the Foreign Student Development Program, now in its third year of operation, utilizes both American and Foreign students interested in enculturating new foreign members into the University. The project, which is funded under a U.S. Department of State grant, serves as a model for other academic institutions that are contemplating similar programs. These student helpers can be found at both Squire Hall on Main St. and MFACC in Ellicott, Political surveillance Although seven positions were lost in the SUNY budget crunch of two years ago, the Office of Foreign Students and Scholars serves as the central reference center for technical, as well as legal problems. The program is staffed by consultants on a part-time basis with Williams acting as the only full-time professional. While a number of American students take advantage of the opportunity to be friends with foreigners and vice-versa, Dr. Williams concedes that a great many more do not. “American students should take advantage of the varied foreign student population on campus.” As reported by The Spectrum one year ago, concern has been voiced that spies from the students' respective countries may be observing students' political activities on campus. Williams maintains that such a subject is indeed a touchy one. “The probability of Intelligence agencies existing on this campus is possible,” he maintains. “To what extent it is real or paranoia 1 don’t know. However, the problem is not as serious here as it is on other campuses.” account besides the Voight Formula. “Binghamton is virtually a new school which had to start from scratch,” he said, “while Buffalo had a long history and had a much larger stock.” The official added that Binghamton collection does not match up to UB’s. “Binghamton is not in the same category with Buffalo, and they have a great need for library acquisitions.” But officials here disagree with DOB on Binghamton’s need. Assistant to the President, Ron Stein said, “Before Binghamton joined SONY in 1964 they were a private college so their situation was the same as ours.” Roy also pointed out that 25,500 Buffalo’s enrollment requires the libraries to purchase more than one copy of each book. “Our volumes seem like a lot because we have many duplicate copies,” he said, “however, DOB does not care, they think one copy of a book is enough.” The budget official acknowledged this but would not comment any further on the matter. According to DOB, the Voight Plan has not been implemented by the agency because there are discrepancies in the field of Library Science. “People in the field are not in agreement as to which formula, if any, is the best to use,” he said. “Also, there are other factors such as the availability of resources. In the past years we have had financial difficulties in New York State and that had forced us to limit funds.” SUNY, yes. DOB, no. Roy, once again, disagrees with DOB. He claimed that the Voight Formula accepted by was President Ke’tter and recommended by SUNY Central. Central officially “SUNY communicated acceptance of the Voight Formula but DOB will not accept it.” Roy added that the main reason for DOB’s reluctance to implement the Voight Formula is money. If the plan is accepted, Buffalo would receive $2.4 million in acquisition funds, or $1.2 million more than is now allocated. “DOB is not accepting Voight because they are not willing to increase our budget by over $1 million,” Roy said flatly. Roy also claimed that DOB circumvents the state budget process. Budgets are supposedly computed on two documents;-a five year master plan which lists in order of priority, which department should build up. “For the past two years, President Ketter has made the Libraries his number one priority, but DOB has ignored that as well,” Roy said. Stein agreed that “DOB determines their own priorities when they make out the budget. Each year the President goes and fights for more money, but DOB has the power to make whatever adjustments they want, and they use it,” Stein said. DOB has countered these claims by pointing out that in the last few years they have been sensitive to the needs of the Libraries here. “The 1978-79 budget calls for an inflationary increase as well as an additional S93,000 for new acquisitions,” the budget official said. When reminded that the increase is still only a portion of the University’s request, the official replied, “There are limited funds.” , —continued from page • • 1 • As the fight for funds goes on. UB’s Libraries continue to drop in prestige. According to rating released by the Association of Research Libraries, Buffalo is now ranked 61 in new acquisitions. “There are 105 schools listed,” Roy said, “and some smaller schools are ahead of us on the list.” While librarians across the country agree that in order to function as a research institution, current and acquisitions periodicals must be maintained, DOB claims that the money to keep acquistions constant is just not there. “The money for increases is not available,” the budget official repeated, “we are trying to accommodate all, but the money is just not there.” DOB also squashed rumors that Binghamton receives a healthy acquisition budget because of State Senate Majority Leader Warren Arrderson (D. Binghamton) in their corner. “It’s an insult to Senator Anderson to suggest that he uses political power to influence our decisions,” official said, an “Senator Anderson is in no way involved.” Nevertheless, officials of the University have claimed that political pressure can help. In fact, last Thursday President Ketter told a group of students that “one thing that has hurt the University is the lack of influential political figures.” from Western Mew York. And last year, Ketter told reporters that “it would clearly help the University if there were local members of the legislature who could wield some power.” T. James Assemblyman Fremming, whose district includes the Amherst campus, is facing a tough re-election challenge this fall. Meanwhile,-Jloy repeated the prospect of departments losing accreditation if the Library’s decline is not turned around. “In five years we could be facing a dangerous situation,” he said, “We is, DOB need funds but unsympathetic.” “They are killing us.” ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••a* • PHOTOCOPYING 8c per copy NO JOB TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL! • • - • : The Spectrum 355 squire Han I • �•o « H 3- <• RECRUITING EFFORT: Members of the New York State Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) organized a display Wednesday in Squire Hall in an effort to attract new members to the consumer-activist organizaion.

UB Board to review alcohol-serving policy by Daniel S. Parker ~ Campus editor. The University Alcohol Review Board meets next week to review its policies for the serving of alcohol on campus. An “open discussion" will also be held to evaluate the current guide lines. Complaints have surfaced from various sectors of the University about the restrictive costs of serving alcohol, unspecified guidelines for the organization frequently responsible for the serving Food Service of beer and necessary precautions to preserve the law, Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity Treasurer Matthew Reid (iary said, “Food Service is uncooperative when it comes to planning a party” and that as a result of the Faculty Student Association’s (FSA) restrictive guidelines and excessive costs, students are “getting killed”. The only liquor license at the University happens to be owned by FSA. Food Service, an arm of FSA, is responsible for the distribution of beer at campus events. Director of Food Service Donald Hosie said his major concern is “abiding the law, maintaining reasonalbe control, and not serving beer to minors.” Assistant Director of Food Service Donald Bozek commented, “We are more than willing to work with any group interested in serving liquor.” - — Excessive costs Gary claimed that Food Service only allows beer to be purchased through its operation and at prices “at least $10 per half-keg higher than if it was bought at a distributor.” Gary’s main gripe is that Food Service will only staff a party with its own backers to accept volunteers from the organization that is throwing the bash. This policy, he claims, is excessively costly and this limits the frequency of parties TKE or any other organization can afford to hold with alcohol. Hosie and Bozek refuted this, saying that unclear standards by the Alcohol Review Board limit Food Service’s ability to aHow group people who members to replace Food Service personnel as workers serve beer, check IDs, and guard entrances. Drinking and checking IDs is not supervising according to Hosie. “It’s difficult to ask a member of an organization to take the responsibility of pouring or checking without drinking,” said Bozek. Hosie added, “There reaches a point where he is not doing his job and jeopardizing our liquor license.” “If my ass is going to hant, it’s because my people aren’t doing their job,” Bozek remarked. “I’m not sticking my neck out for someone else.” - Free kegs Hosie claimed that any group can order its own beer rather than deal with Food Service as long as it doesn’t charge for alcohol. “Any hint at a donation, use of coupons, or cash, constitutes sale,” stated Hosie. “FSA and Food Service must run the event in these instances.” Gary, who is circulating a petition to be submitted to the Alcohol Review Board, claims that Food Service jacks up prices, charging $5 for administrative services in addition to fees for cups, napkins, and clean-up. Bo/ek said that the S6.50 charge for cups and napkins will out that not be levied if the group brings its own.

Unless, as Graduate Student Association President Joyce Pinn fears, succeeding generations are appeased by the Administration's illusions of good-faith bargaining, deep resentments against Robert L. Ketter and subordinates like Acting Executive Vice President Charles Fogel will prevent any real progress. The administration has successfully turned a long-standing refusal to consider grad students employees of the University into a stalemated battle of semantics while GAs and TAs continue to perform the same chores as faculty members. Affirmative Action continues to lag. Grad students' roles in decision making continues to be a token one in many areas. Robert L. Ketter continues to open every speech to grad students with a spb story describing how powerless and penniless he is. "We are employees and we want a livable wage," shout frustrated grad students. "You're not employees and, even if you were, your wage is livable," answers mechanized yes-men like Fogel. And when persuasive argument. University-wide committees and cost of living statistics back the Administration into a corner, the so easily, but cowardly-used rejoinder: "There just isn't enough money" comes billowing forth obscuring the real point of the debate and shifting many burdens of proof from their rightful owners here to a faceless Albany bureaucracy.

In the interest of fairness, here is Chapman's response. RE: Let it be known that 1 take offense to John Hess’ accusation in Wednesday’s (September 20) paper. I can see where his suspicions could be aroused. 1 take him at his word as to Jeff Simon’s exact words since 1 myself do not have a copy of the review. But I must point out that no “plagarism” or “error of judgement” took place on my part. I read the review during the summer when it came out in the Buffalo Evening News. I saw Animal House a week later and wrote my review a week and a half after that. By that time, Jeff Simon’s review had long since been incinerated courtesy of the Buffalo Sanitation Department. The details of the review were then, as they are now, forgotten. As far as the similarities in copw, the only similarity I see is the phrase “no-body-here-but us-honkies.” The overall descriptions of the scene are similar because they are both straight-forward descriptions of the same thing. Similarities are expected in such cases and as similarities go, not terribly striking. As to the phrase, its inclusion was unfortunate. When editing the review, 1 was feedback f (O TKE vs. Food Service suspicious of the phrase becuase it is not of my me of something I had read before. Since I Had only read one review Simon’s 1 suspected it might have been his phrase. But, against my better judgement, 1 left it in. Admittedly, 1 should have excised it if I had any doubts of its origin. It is a non-essential phrase and not particularly good. 1 could easily have replaced it with something better. I do take blame for this sloppiness but I take umbrage at being called a plagiarist. If Mr. Idess is so acute, why doesn’t he note the vast differences in our reviews. If I remember correctly, Simon liked the film despite its crudity. (1 don’t remember the details but I do believe this is correct.) My view is a complete antithesis. As for style, Simon tends toward the conversational tone, I to the tone of an essayist. “Plagiarism of ideas” personal idiom and reminded — To the Editor. Food Service: Who the hell do you think you — indeed! Mr. Idess’ knee-jerk accusations are an annoyance “one cannot tolerate under any circumstance.” It is right he should point out my carelessness but he should get his facts straight before he starts slandering me in print. This sort of unbridled hooliganisiri “threatens the safety of original and creative expression if allowed to go unchecked.” Ross Chapman Dear letter writers: We must cordially remind all letter writers once again that unsigned letters will not be printed under any circumstances. We will withhold names uppn request, but only from signed letters. A “name withheld” letter also receives lowestpriority. And please don’t wast time with phoney names. We check them. Thanks a lot and keep are? As I walk down the hail going to my classes everyday people stop me and ask when are we having our next TKE beer party, I am afraid out parties may be limited and few jn the upcoming weeks. In brief 1 would like to explain the hassles and problems involved in trying to run a 25 cent beer party. First, a room must be reserved, no problem. Next, a beer permit must be obtained, no problem. Wrong! Our Food Service holds the only beer license on campus so they decide if you can rent theirs or not. Next, beer must be ordered, no problem right? Wrong! The beer msut be ordered from Food Service at prices at least $10 per half keg higher than if it was bought at a distributor. Next thing is that Food Service says we must have an employee working at the parties. No big deal to hire one man at three dollars an hour but, now they tell us we need to hire one man to watch the door, one supervisor at six dollars an hour, and five beer pouters. That totals about $200 in salaries alone. If we want to have a party on Main Street, they Food Service say we can’t handle the money, we will have to trust them to give us the excess. This, basically is a slight overview of the way Food Service serves the student body. As a result of the above, TKE or any other organization that wants to have a party has a few options. One, we could raise our prices (boo), or have a cover charge (boo) (shades of the Pub), or we can all get angry and revolt. In the next week, a petition to the Alcohol Review Board will be passed around. Please sign. We would also appreciate it if a representative from every fraternity and sorority, or any other organization that wants to help please call Greg Kinnear (President TKE) 636-5692 or me at 636-4909. We need support. Let’s let Food Service know we’re mad and we are not going to let them get away with this shit that they have been pulling so - — far. writing!

He is a self-confessed criminal, why , Steve McKee To the Editor. At times it is easy to forget that there are minimally two sides to every story. Complete objectivity exists only in dreams, but subjectivity abound, at times, in The Spectrum. The review of Hunter Thompson is an example. Granted, it was sometimes difficult to understand him. It was also difficult to understand the extreme redundancy with which students inquired, mockingly and at times insultingly, about drugs drugs in New Orleans, drugs in Washington; drugs in Chicago, drugs in Mustangs Mr. Thompson spoke on some sensitive issues. Among them were his opinions of the cprrent state of the Armed Forces and its relationship to out society. One topic that particularly interested him involved the challenging of today’s students, today’s culture to improve society in appropriate ways. He thought that it would be more difficult to do this now than in the sixties, as the focal points of public injustice are more abstruse. However, this doesn’t mean we should revert back to the fifties mentality and hide from everything. ... ... For him to get even this much out he had to continually pretend he did not hear catcalls from the audience about a Nixon-Regan ticket in '80, and other, equally impressive darts. The students continually asked him what they should do, to which he answered, “I don’t know . that's for you to find out.” I agree. If we can control' ourselves from wasting time asking about handguns and speeding tickets (accompanied by a simply delightful skit), the possibility exists that we may be able to learn from people who do have an experienced, intellectual offer to make us.

Oh, innocence, a time of confidence tong ago it must be I have a photograph preserve your memories They're all that's leftyou. —Simon and Garfunkel — — Only sweet memories will remain an artistic institution becomes a memory, the temptation to wax nostalgic. So naturally one would assume that the closing of the Century Theater, set for soon after the curtain comes down on Cheap Trick tomorrow night, would provide the romantic rock and roller in me with a large dose of that misty sentimentality. Like Todd Rundgren says, “Take a few of these, the sweeter memories.” And as anyone whohas ever attended a concert at the Century knows, the theater was, in spite of the sleazy bathrooms and the unfailingly quavering balcony, the most intimate and personable venue in the entire downtown entertainment district. Shea’s Buffalo is immaculately elegant, the Aud is big enough to contain any amount of superfans’ persofESTmusical idiosyncrasies,' but the Century was the Rock and Roll club, for real. Each year, Harvey and Corky welcomed the returning students with such When high-quality performers as Jackson Browne, Bonnie The Century Raitt, Peter Gabriel, Billy Joel was the only theater that permitted close access to the stage, a bonus for both fans and photographers.

It was difficult not to with thosd enjoy especially yourself, four-for-a-buck gin and tonics available in the upstairs bar. The closing of the Century won’t stop the music, but I know that whenever I attend a concert at a hall that should be the Century, there will always be the echo of that fan who, in October of ’76, shouted out for Jackson Browne to take his pants off. “Don’t forget them please, the sweeter —Barbara Komansky memories...” ... By selling the Century Theater to some grim folks who hope to “pave paradise and put up a parking lot,” Harvey and Corky have not only proved their love for good ol’ American capitalism but have shown their finite appreciation for rock ’n’ roll. They do not care for, or need, the Buffalo economy; the mini-corporation may even want to leave Buffalo once they make enough so that such a move will be profitable. This is not news; not yet fact; just hypothesis. I talked with sompne involved with Harvey and Corky who chided me for writing about the theater as an intimate, but run down, establishment backstage at the Stones concert. He said he put $60,000 into the Century in a relatively short period of time. Harvey and Corky no doubt acg close to the Century Theater; there’s as many memories for them in that fallen plaster palace as there are for the fins. But you can’t blame them for wnating bigger and better things. You can blame them for not including the Century THeater in their future plans. You can chide them severely; but it won’t help. —Harold Goldberg �tl/iC SUD • £7\ BOARD brings to you: -7QONE,INC *• IJIJAE MUSIC presents WMT « fellah, u^fn ROBERT HUNTER Grateful Dead Lyricist with special guest TONIGHT Sept. 22, Fillmore Room 8:00 pm Remember, if the thunder dent §et pa, than the lightning will. - One Show Tickets *3.50 students tickets ere going test! *5.00 non-students LUAD MUSIC AMP WBFO present in e rare Buffalo appearance the eclectic jazz sound of the Mitchell Kom Ensemble KATHARINE CORNELL THEATRE Soturdoy, Sept. 23 M»ti ntumUf priced tf #4 of One show only in Hie - ELLICOTT COMPLEX 8:30 pm H.SQ tfuhnfs 2.00 non-students * UIJ \ 15 Cultural and Performing Arts Committee presents V ' « Is Sex Funny?

Levine series of six one-act plays spanning sixty years of American drama which depict the hardships and dreariness suffered by the poor, the mentally insane, and the incarcerated. Directed by Jack Hunter and performed by the Buffalo Performance Company, the six one-acts are written by such notables as Eugene O’Neill, Tennessee Williams, Sam Shepard, William Saroyan and )ean Claude Italic. The Buffalo Van Performance Company has been largely responsible for bringing new and innovative productions to the Polish Center. American Blues is a crystal clear example of this. Last Sunday night’s show opened with Jeff Brboks, a folk guitarist whose beautifully rich tone set the meed with jazzy blues songs such as "Ain’t She Sweet” and “If Don’t Worry Me.” The first piece, O’Neill’s Before is a monologue Breakfast, performed by Deborah Katz. She the portrayed adequately loneliness and struggle of a working class woman trying desperately support to her uncaring and depressed husband. Williams’ Moony's Kid Don't Cry, a play about a poor lumberjack with high hopes and his down to earth wife was performed by Jack Hunter and Leslie Yudelson. Hunter successfully captured the spirit of the dreamy-eyed woodsman with gentlerless. and confidence Yudelson was believable as his serious minded wife. The two performers complimented each other well. Saroyan’s Hello Out There a story about a man accused of rape in a small town and the mentally unstable young girl whd befriends him was performed by Don Prosch and more notably Carol Prosch acted with Sapienza. and charisma. confidence Sapienza, however, gracefully captivated the audience with her ever glowing stage presence and ; -o | | • - 5 y shown this season: Perhaps the best film to be shown this year, Taxi Driver (ABC), may suffer the most at the hands of television. Martin Scorsese’s grim, New York drama establishes much of its power through certain indelicacies whose names television “dare not speak.’’ I have a feeling it might end up as an ambiguous tale sanitized of meaning. Still, you should catch it if you can. Hal Ashby is represented this year with two John Emmert and Leslie Yudelson In Tenetee Williams' 'This Property is Condemned' precise acting, setting herself apart from most of the other performers. Jeff Fahey, Paul DuBois, John Emmert and Erica Wohl also appeared in this piece. Another of Williams’ one-acts,' This Property is Condemned featured John Emmert and Leslie Yudelson. This particular piece about a young girl living alone in a condemned house and her male friend did Yudelson more justice and clearly displayed the actress’s performing ability and unique 9 style. As the young man, Emmert was subdued, but nonetheless gave a secure performance. Italie’s Thoughts On The Instant Of Greeting A Friend In The Street, a short avante-garde sixties piece, featured Virginia Penta and Paul DuBois. Pcnta was dynamic and cunning as the semi-neurotic victim of one night stands and nuclear wars. DuBois was insanely' intense as a man scared to walk out of his house in the morning for fear of a bomb dropping on his head. Shepard’s monologue, Killers Head featured Ray Munro as a killer 10 minutes' before his execution in an electric chair. performance Munro’s was honest and powerfully unpretentious.

Also on ABC, Paul Newman and Robert Redford cavort in G:R. Hill’s ever-popular The Sting. Another dynamic duo, Warren Beatty and )ack Nicholson grace a very funny film called The Fortune (ABC), directed by Mike Nichols. CBS will be reshowing Gone With The Wind. No comment required. 1975's Oscar-sweeping One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (NBC) provides a nice vehicle for Jack Nicholson despite a pervading tone of reverence. Nicholson also teams up with Marlon Brando in Arthur a western Penn’s interesting but underrated Missouri Breaks (NBC) that’s not quite a western. Despite its horrendous title, The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane (ABC) is an effective suspense drama which showcases Jodie Foster's formidable talents (for those of you who still have any doubts). ABC is reshowing Harry and Tonto, Paul Mazursky’s one and only good film. Also of Paul Mazursky/s and also on ABC is his Blume in Love, a seriously faltering film that nonetheless takes a few steps towards greatness. Sylvester Stallone's Rocky is premiering on CBS, a very popular film that everyone liked except me. 1 think its plot is a cop-out on its original mood but, as I said, I’m all alone on this. Marathon Man and Black Sunday, both on CBS, are two good suspense films if you’re morbidly afraid of dentists or dirigibles. These films failed to move me in the least (except out of the theater). Network (CBS) is a film which, more than any other, shows how bad Paddy Chayefky really is. Still William,Holden and Faye Dunaway manage to peek through the murk. Dino De Laurentis’ remake of the 1933 classic, King Kong (NBC), is an inadvertent tribute to the vapidness of the seventies. Still, look for the very excellent Charles Grod (Anthony Abbott in Heaven Can Wait) whose role as the villain provides a sly comic relief old Dino never counted on. Brian De Palma, a much maligned director who deserves every syllable of it, displays his garish bad taste in Carrie (CBS) and Obsession (ABC). Watching these will save you the time and expense of seeing his future films. (Yoq won’t — From underdevelopment towards modernization ! Chapman Television is a reductive medium. Reductive not only in terms of the size of the image, but also in what it does to the impact of an image. No where is this more clearly seen than in. the feature films which come to be shown on TV: commercials clog the flow, interrupting tensions and breaking up the suspense. Censors snip and cut in small, darkened rooms, making films "suitable for family viewing" but at the same time, bowdlerizing effect and compromising content. And the size of the tube diminishes a film’s percussion. Canyons look like ditches, closeups like wallet snapshots and the Universe is a little black square speckled with dandruff. Given this, I hesitate to recommend that you watch films shown on TV. To a large extent, the link between the movie theater and the cinematic experience is inextricable. Still, many people simply cannot be enticed into a movie theater and, despite the effects of the medium, films on TV do manage to transmit a goodly amount of their original verve. So, pushing qualms aside, here are some of the films that will be American Blues now appearing at the Polish Community Center is a Ross : : want to.) In addition to these arc a bunch of so-so films that might be worth tuning into if you have nothing better to'do: The Bad News Bears (ABC), Anne of a Thousand Days (NBC), The Prisoner of Second Avenue (NBC), The Cassandra Crossing (NBC), and Fun with Dick and /ane (ABC), to name a few. And of course, there are a host of baddies. Here’s a sampling; The Last Tyeo'on (CBS), The Shootist (CBS), Demon Seed (CBS), Two Minute Warning (NBC), Orca (CBS), Other Side of the Mountain (NBC), The Gumboil Rally (ABC ), Audrey Rose (NBC), and Burnt Offerings (NBC). Had enough? I have. In addition to these network presentations are those films which are quietly shown on PBS every year. These films, to the credit of PBS and its local affiliate, WNED-17, tend towards the classic rather than the popular. Furthermore, PBS films lack the annoyance of commercial interruptions. This season you can see Pumping Iron, Lina Wertmuller’s Seven Beauties, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the best comedy film since Duck Soup, and many more without.the hawking of Cora, Mrs. Olson, or the Man From Glad. This list is by no means exhaustive but it is exhausting: it leaves you with a bewildering selection. Still, be selective and with those films you do select, always remember that you are watching the work of one medium transmitted through another.

This month more than 800 colleges, music and drama schools and amateur theater groups around the country, will be receiving PLEASE POST notices offering their students a chance to apply for the Richard Rogers Production Award to be offered every year. The award’s primary purpose is to subsidize a New York City production of a musical play by authors and composers whose works have never been professionally performed. The applicants need not be students. Previously produced works will be eligible if their performances were, in the committee’s judgement, an amateur effort, university-sponsored, reached but a small audience, or were incomplete or inadequate. Rodgers donated a check for one million dollars to establish and administer the fund. The'winning work may be a play with music, an operetta, a revue, an adaptation of a classic or a “typical Broadway show.’’ It may be full-length or comprised of several works. As a condition, Mr. Rodgers stated "Because I have an abiding love for and confidence in my birthplace, New York City, and a conviction that it is the artistic center of the nation, the award production must take place in New York City.” The annual productions will be performed first in non-profit institutions. They will cost between $50,000-$70,000 and the work will remain the property of its creators. For applications, write to the American Academy and Institute df Arts and Letters, 633 W. 155th St., New York. New York 10032.

Hoyt (D., Buffalo), Artpark’s cultural and entertainment schedule would be extended through the winter and spring at the historic Shea’s Buffalo Theater downtown. In /letter to State Parks and Recreation Commissioner Orin Lehman, Hoyt stated, “I think it appropriate at this time that the potential use of Shea’s Buffalo Theater as the winter home for Artpark’s summer productions be fully investigated by the Department of Parks and Recreation. If implemented, Hoyt’s plan could provide Shea’s with desperately needed state operating aid, and would act as a drawing card to bring audiences back into Buffalo's theater district. In a statement printed in the September 19 Buffalo Courier-Express, Artpark executive director David Midland expressed surprise at Assemblyman Hoyt's proposal. “I haven’t got the foggiest idea what he’s up tor Midland said of Hoyt. “Nobody talked to me.” - " The leadership training available in Army ROIC is second to none.

I feel awkward sitting in on Benno’s dilemma, here where everyone is a victim and characters inflict misery on each other like flagellating penitents, I feel little more than the surface "concern” we show to convince others that we really do care. Not all the moments in a Month of Sundays Repertory Company’s production of The Transfiguration of Benno Blimpie (directed by Richard Wesp) at the Tralfamadore can be received impassively. In the knock-down scenes between Benno’s parents (played by Ramone Alvarez and Shelly Schneider), there is the uneasy sensation of having stumbled into someone’s domestic quarrel and being unable to work up a proper excuse to get out. Uncomfortable as you are, there is still the morbid curiosity of who will fall first; the kind of fascination which drives us through crowds at an accident, only to recoil in horror when the full gruesome impact of the calamity is all too graphically apparent. Despite the presence of strong isolated images and of very competent acting, the play comes across like jello left in the sun too long. The ingredients are there but the basic condition under which they mix is wrong. Ever since the Renaissance, things haven't been the same for fat people. When artists stopped revering the voluptuous form, fat became at best, cute; and at worst, hell. Benno Blimpie is in hell and Albert Innaurato’s The Transfiguration of Benno Blimpie is the story of him eating through its layers. Benno’s got the kind of fat that maybe a mother could love.

Oil of Dog is a classic example of the progressive vehicle in working condition. It is that two-way educational process that says turn the people on to everything and then let them decide their preferences. On the one hand, Storm keeps aware of any and all trends (as evident by his forerunning of New Wave, for example), while from the other direction comes a steady flow of requests from the listening audience, something that Storm encourages throughout his program ("Just give me a call and if I’ve got it, I’ll play it.”). In the April 17 issue of Village Voice, critic Robert Christgau mentioned Storm as the person who "gave me a playlist that included We do ft all for you records I thought no disc jockey had heard of and records I hadn’t of Well the other received a myself." just day I too one, “playlist heard from Heaven” as Gary puts it, laced with artists that seldom step foot higher up the band: Ry Cooder, George Thorogood and the Destroyers, Tom Robinson Band, The Dead Boys, The Dictators, Electric Chairs, Iggy Pop, U.K. Squeeze and on and on and on the list goes Throughout an evening of Oil of Dog one could hear anything ranging from More California Rockabilly to Bob Dylan to the Bizarros to statements by Allan Ginsberg or Bill Cosby. Storm continually exposes obscure independent labels.

Benno’s implied suicide at the end of the play is SS like the death of a moth flitting around the campfire; an untimely thing to be sure but nothing to lament and wail over, unless one is seriously to the disposed mourning of dead moths. Benno’s death after suffering the ultimate disgrace at the hands of his peers is anti-climactic; unfortunate, as I had been looking for a climax up until then. Some psychologists feel that suicide is sometimes the only way a person feels he can assert control over his own life. If that’s how Benno felt he never let us in on it. The most vindictive aspect of his suicide seemed to be in making sure that any rats gnawing his corpse would die from the poison he had ingested. I did not sit through an hour of drama to see rats get theirs as Benno becomes the Ultimate Rat Bait. While titters came intermittently from parts of audience during the the performance, The Transfiguration of Benno BHmpie, like Benno’s condition itself, is at best, cute; and at worst, unfortunate.

Money corrupts, so story goes, and corruption leads to dissolution. But why doesn’t Bolognini tell us something we haven’t been told a hundred times before? The film aspires to profundity but ends as a facile tale one might tell a child to get across an elementary moral lesson. It tries to be a classic but ends as an issue of Comicbook Classics The story takes place in 19th century Italy at the time of its reunification.

Director Maurio Bolognini thinks that by serving up this mushy mixture on a screen ripping with beautiful cinematography that we won’t mind the bland tastelessness of the film. But there’s simply no way to avoid choking on the loud overtones of Eugene O’Neill, the bad imitation of Lady Macbeth, and the endless chatter given a bumbling literary gloss. Not often does one see a film which strives much fail so toward so completely. The Inheritance is a morality play about the feuding of a well-to-do family and how a cunning woman attempts to exploit them all, securing for family fortune. herself the Dominique Sanda marries one of the feuding' brothers so that she can zero in on her ultimate objective, the father, played by Anthony Quinn.

Anthony Quinn is doubtless a great actor but not in The Inheritance. His role is just a listless variation on his patented irrepressible peasant character.

He could whisper drifting messages or wail hotly with a full tone so brassy it could conjure Pops Louis walkin’ down Basin Street (check Brownie on "Blues”). The bold fleetness intertwined with subtle flavor introduced elements that are still regarded high by today’s trumpeters (from Lester Bowie’s no-mess finesse to Woody Shaw’s sinewy velvet, let OPEN alone Hubbard).

On Friday nighC at the Memorial Auditorium, The Cars and Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band attained that rare mix. u Sundial continued to play his most two by Lester Zipris songs previous albums; Night Moves and Stranger In Town. The Silver Bullet Band proved themselves to be one of the most energetic and professional rock bands touring today. Their sound remained remarkably faithful to the mixes on their last two albums, yet in concert, with the opportunity to expound on solos, their power and tightness becomes more apparent. Lead guitarist Drew Abbott, keyboardist Robyn Robbins and hornman Alto Reed were all given chances to solo. Most impressive was Alto Reed; blowing riffs drawn from the grand Rock and Roll tradition, taunting the audience (and Seger) in a manner reminiscient of Clarence Clemmons (Springsteen’s playful, rotund hornman). As expected the focal point of the show was Seger himself. Seger played rhythm guitar or piano during some songs, but because he is backed by such a great band, for the majority of the show he was free to entertain the audience and more importantly, sing. ENERGETIC AND PROFESSIONAL: Bob Sager and the Silver Bullet Band, top, were in top form last Friday during their two hour sat comprised mainly of their peatest hits. Cars, bottom, the new hit bend from Boston, opened the show and proved that they are worthy of being watched out for In the future. Bob Seger and his band's stage presence are quite professional, albeit, a little too polished. Each song in the show flowed smoothly into the next; with the ballads and the rockers spaced just right to maintain the highest level of energy. I’m sure if Seger were seen in Kansas City or Spokane, he’d display pretty much the same show; complete with the same songs, solos and stage antics. But obvious to anyone present was the good time the band was having. Most noticeable was the big fat grin Seger wore across his face during the show, especially appreciative of the audience’s response. Surely during the past four years" Seger’s songwriting has become more consistent; and blessed with the fortune of acquiring a top notch Rock and Roll band. But, as in the case of Peter Frampton, it was the years of touring that paved the way to his success. During this time, Seger has developed “tried and true” methods of pleasing his audience. It’s only natural that he should stick to what w essence, what Seger presents is an energetic and powerful Rock and Roll show delivered with a sense it (be of professionalism somewhat contrived) in order to gain mass appeal. The opening act for the show was The Cars, a new band from No frills’- thrills Seger’s last two albums (both of which are of top quality) understate his abilities. Seger possesses one of the truly great voices in Rock and Roll, shaded with traces of Van Morrison, Mitch Ryder and even Bruce Springsteen (although in my opinion, Springsteen is in greater musical debt to Seger than vice-versa). Yet, Seger has a tougher and grittier voice than any of the aforementioned; combine this with a raw and energetic vocal phrasing style and you produce Seger’s "no frijls” approach to Rock and Roll singing. r IMPORTED CHINESE FOOI KOREA JAPANESE LAOS THAILAND VIET NAM* PHILIPPINES INDIA Also Fresh Vegetables T) literati Silver Bullet Band performed a two-hour set comprised mainly of their greatest hits.

The Cars combine a pop sound with punk sensibilities; the they’re quite possibly forerunners of the 80’s pop sound.

With the addition of an indifferent vocal style, The Cars are reminiscient of more yet Music, Roxy streamlined. I n concert the band performed forty minutes of the best material from their excellent debut album. With the band in punk attire (leathers, dark glasses, red boots, etc.) one expected a primal rock and roll sound, yet The Cars music blended many influences. during "Best instance, For Friend’s Girl" lead guitarist Eliot between alternates Easton country styled guitar pickin’ and punk power chords. The band also touts the talent of songwriter/lyricist/ rhythm guitarist Ric Ocusek whose dark but humorous lyrics hint at masochistic tendencies. (“I don’t mind if you hurt me some more/1 don’t mind if you even the score”). This band already has a hit with “Just What I Needed” proving that their sophisticated and somewhat avant-garde sound is quite marketable throughout their off-beat qualities. The Cars are off and running and worth watching out for. There are two traditions in American culture. Call them high brow and low brow. Call them "the party of the right” and "the party of the left.” No matter. One looks backward, towards classical and traditional forms. The other, sensitive to the crises of life in modern America, struggles to discover new and native forms with which modern life can be known in all its complexities. The split is not merely Carnegie Hall and Woodstock, the Chicago Symphony and Jefferson Starship, Frank Sinatra and Pete Seeger. In part, the gap is created out of sympathy and passion, a passionate concern with the problems and joys men and women face daily. The implications of this division for literature and for our cultural lives are tremendous. T.S. Eliot, the high priest of tradition, wrote that no artist could truly ignore the cultural tradition out of which he or she emerged, without incurring grave risks of cultural alienation. The artist’s proper task was to assimilate his culture’s heritage into his sense of immediate cultural concerns. Unfortunately, Eliot's idea of. "tradition” was too easily subverted into an aesthetic isolationism, in which writers wrote in a style indistinguishable from that of classic English literature, on themes remote from life in a world wracked by a world war, depression and social unrest. Despite its tone of urban despair, Eliot’s The Waste Land depressed William Carlos Williams, the doctor-poet from Paterson, New Jersey, because its aesthetics were so foreign to American life. Williams, writing in The Prologue to Kora in Hell and later in I Wanted to Write a Poem, snarled that Eliot and Ezra Pound, then and later Williams’ close friend, had betrayed their American heritage by assuming an aesthetic stance that turned away from America towards a decayed and ahistorical European tradition. American poetry, Williams feared, was being led away from the demands of life in the twenties, just when one that American culture needed an indigenous, native tradition would respond to native scenes and life. Even in such a stark poem as Williams’ "Proletarian Portrait,” passion and concern emerge from the simple and cool image of a young working woman stooping to remove a nail from the sole of her shoe. No, it is not an image, but a picture, a portrait of a young woman as she passes before us and of one man's sensitivity to the particulars of her life as she passes by. This radical American tradition is valuable for it opens up the scope of literature. Our parents are now the proper subject of artistic inquiry. We too are now the proper subject of artistic inquiry. This literature of the left, this writing of “the barbarians,” speaks to us of the complexities of our lives. It speaks to us of the life of the bored housewife, the angry steelworker, the struggling welfare family. It is a literature that is aware of the political implications of aesthetic choices, and it does not hesitate in making those choices. Today we face a time of literary reaction. More and more of our major, recognized writers have retreated into either a commercialism or an aestheticism defined by philosophical and theoretical questions. It is only from the radical and small presses, those small publishers working to create an audience for feminist fiction, for working class literature, that we are getting a powerful picture of life as lived in our time, in our world. The arts can aid us in understanding the nature of modern life; any work that fails to speak to that understanding fails as art. Vonnegut speaks to us, but glibly, with a casual vocabulary culled from an impoverished oral tradition. May Sarton speaks to us with a language that reveals depths of sympathy. As personal as her work is, we still feel the contradictions and conflicts of her poetic world reflected in ours. It is this literature, a tradition of writing that reflects the intricacies of life in modern America, that we hope to present in this column — * * J LEI'S INm> — DOWNTOWN *** 3053 Main St. Mon. thru Fri. 10am Sat., Sun., 10:30 returns...

Custodial staff cleaners recently accused tj»« Custodial Staff Office of overworking and abusing them. In addition, cleaners complained that CSEA has been unresponsive to their plight. According to CSEA Field Representative Tom Christy, the state has cut back funding to UB which affects custodial services the most. Said Christy, “For every ten women doing the work last year there are eight this year doing the same amount of work. With 3000 new students you can’t cut maintenance." Christy added that workloads have doubled for all four of the divisions within CSEA, including clerical workers, operational tradesman, janitors as well as cleaners. The state, in addition, dictates the amount of work to be done in square feet by each cleaner, according to Christy. “Management,” he said, “doesn’t take into consideration the brick floor and carpeting on the Amherst Campus. There will necessarily be more time taken to clean these floors than the tile floors at Main Street.” CSEA Vice President Barbara Kauffman refuted claims of Union negligence. Said Kauffman, “The Union spends a great deal of time with the cleaners and we can’t tell Management how to staff their maintenance staff.

This does not help the shortage on the Main Street Campus, however. Things may even get worse. Plans are being made to tear up parts of both the Lockwood and lots for the Main-Bailey construction of the Light-Rail Rapid Transit. Ticketing Many students are receiving unwanted extra bills in the form of parking tickets. Assistant Director Robinson reported that for the period September 1-14, 346 parking tickets were issued to students. Robinson said these tickets were issued to only the people parking major violaters in fire lanes, for example. Police will begin cracking down on other violaters and unregistered vehicles beginning the first of the month, Robinson said. He urged students to pick up parking stickers at the Campus Police building (1749 Millesport Hwy.). Stickers are available to students seven days a week upon validation of identification. — �GAs, TAs battle r~ ‘The raise is a phony ploy to placate the GAs.’ ~' . Employees’ Union (GSEU) fought vigorously for an even higher minimum stipend of SS490. GSEU’i minimum stipend was based on the Cost of Living Index compiled by the U.S. Department of Labor between the years 1967 and 1977. The union claimed then that a S3,000 stipend in 1967 would total S5490 in 1977 with cost of living increases figured in. Since faculty salaries have always been adjusted for the rate of inflation, GSEU argued that stipends should be similarly scaled. Other GSEU demands had included a guaranteed tuition waiver, comprehensive medical insurance, worker's compensation, restoration of cut lines, smaller classes, retention of the 4-course load, and affirmative action in CA/TA hiring. One of the most bitterly fought-over issues has been the Administration’s refusal to consider GA’s and TA’s “employees,” Fogel explained that assistants have never been considered “employees” therefore, they have never been Students can survive on the minimum stipend, ‘although not in an elegant style/ — Supplement income? Graduate Student Association (GSA) President Joyce Finn does not believe the $3100 minimum is a “living wage.” “With tl)e cost of living rising each year at a tremendous rate, how do they expect an individual who is carrying a full-course load and also teaching a course to make ends meet?” Finn said. “It’s virtually impossible to hold an outside job to supplement your income.” .v Charles M. Fogel, formerly Acting Dean of the Division of Graduate and Professional Education and now Acting The answer to all photocopying needs... your ‘Gas and TAs no matter where or when they work deserve equal pay. ' Charles Fogel Executive Vice President contends that the minimum stipend level which the majority of the 913 GA’s and XA’s receive is a wage which students can survive on “although rjot in an elegant style.” But Fogel admitted that Albany does not take into consideration whether a student can live on the stipend alone when setting minimum levels. Rawson, Stratton former Secretary of the GSEU, disagreed bitterly with Fogel’s observations. “Not being able to visit the dentist even once in four years can be quite inelegant,” he said. Funding for the increase in the maximum level has not yet been granted by DOB but Fogel claimed GA’s and TA’s are nonetheless being hired with the assurance that with department consent they may receive the new maximum. Students remain skeptical. Former GSEU member Howard Kling claims, ‘The raise is a phony ploy to placate the GA’s.

GA’s and TA’s are students, considered which prevents the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from deducting taxes from their stipends. Fogel said, adding that a stipend should be considered more as a “scholarship” than a “salary.” Rawson labelled bluntly Fogel’s statements “blatant lies that have typified the administration’s current thinking on the TA situation. We (the GSEU) thought we were finally making progress in enlightening the administration to the real facts. It is evident, however, that they have reversed their thinking back to the days when no pressure was ever put on them.” Former * Legal fees court At the source of the dispute over the program are SUNY-wide guidelines for use of mandatory fees. Those rules allow fees to be for spent of “programs educational, social, or cultural enrichment” of benefit to the campus community and for “student services to supplement or add to those provided by the University.” The Administration has held consistently that individual representation of a student, as a concept, falls outside the guidelines. On those grounds, Associate Vice President of Student Affairs Anthony Lorenzetti rejected the GLS proposal in June. 1977 and Ketter reaffirmed that decision in July. Lorenzetti's opinion was that 100 percent growth GSEU’s demand for tuition waivers has been granted, both sides agreed.. Current acting Graduate and Professional Education Dean Andrew Holt claimed in the September 11 issue of The Spectrum that affirmative action is gradually being implemented. Fogel admitted that current efforts were “not enough” but said the administration is pleased with the “100 percent growth.” Grad students consider some affirmative action efforts mere tokenism. Former GSEU member Kling said that “going frorn 4 to 8 minority students should not be considered as any real attempt by the administration to implement as effective affirmative action plan considering there are about 1000 GA’s.” A continuing GA/TA grievance is that Millard Fillmore College (night division) GA/TA’s are not paid the same stipend as day division assistants. Fogel maintains that night school assistants are doing a “temporary service” which means that they are considered part-time help. Their position is a stepping stone to higher paying appointments.” —continued from • • page Anticipating this response, GSA President Finn asserted that “GA’s and TA’s arc GA’s and TA's no matter where or when they work and deserve equal pay.” Dispute figures Fogel denied GSA charges that stipends are being increased at the expense of cutting GA and TA positions. He claims the day have assistantships division remained fairly constant for the The three past years. Administration’s figures show 910 positions two years ago, 907 last year, 913 this year and a projected 979 next year. However, night division lines have been cut slightly to compensate for the increase in their stipends. Former GSEU officials dispute these figures but were unable to provide specifics. A constant worry among GA’s and TA’s is whether funding will be available for as long as they attend the University. Fogel said that the administration will honor ‘We thought that we were finally making progress in enlightening the Administration to the real facts. ' Stratton Rawson its commitments to all “hard-working” assistants for the time needed to complete their degrees, though support will not be continued past a standard four-year graduate term.

However, GLS attorney Richard Lippes has maintained the sponsor of the “student services” passage had programs such as GLS in mind when he wrote it. Lippes, in a “show cause order” filed before the Court last year, said, “It is not the administrative official’s task to determine whether or not in his opinion the money is being spent on a worthwhile function, or in any way to censor the use of such money, but rather, “merely to determine whether the money spent falls within the guidelines .. In other words, GLS believes that the Administration’s of the individual rejection representation proposal is a violation of the students’ right to spend their money how they see fit. Lippes does not expect a settlement to be reached as a result of Kfetter’s deposition. Rather, the case will probably go to trial sometime in January according to Acting Director of GLS Stephanie Krafchak. -Kelly Beck �Group finds by Kathleen McDonough Spectrum Staff Writer If upon returning from winter break this year, you find that some of your peers have “disappeared,” their names might be found on an attrition list. Webster’s defines attrition as “a wearing away by friction,” but in the University context, attrition is synonymous with dropping out. The attrition rate here has been cause for alarm since last year’s unusually high drop-out rate was discovered. An enrollment surge this year is partially an administrative response to last year’s drop. University President Robert L, Ketter initiated a University-wide Study Group on Attrition/Retention in February of 1978, This June, SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton issued a similar directive on a SUNY-wide level. The “drop-out” has become an object of inquiry. According to the committee chairman, Vice President for Student Affairs Richard A. Siggelkow, the study group is not a direct response to any financial loss to the University. Last spring, the Office of Admission and Records (A&R) incorrectly estimated enrollment at 1 3,000. The actual number was 1 1,783. PABST Milwaukee. , lonelinesscauses of attrition boredom effects was a $90,000 deficit in the Student Association (SA) treasury. SA’s budget was based on A&R’s inaccurate projections. A SUNY survey showed that the most common cause for attrition to be personal reasons (60 percent), followed by financial difficulties (22 percent) and medical problems (18 percent). Sigglekow said that attrition figures cannot be interpreted literally since the majority of departing students eventually return to obtain their degrees, often at a different institution, the study found. The study group at UB' is geared toward preventing “unnecessary attrition” or what Siggelkow calls leaving without necessity and with no plans to return. The 42-member committee here which includes such diverse groups as Services to the Handicapped, Civil Service and Professional Staff, the University Police, students, DUE and Campus Ministry believes that problems of loneliness, boredom and confusion underlie many of the traditional reasons given for attrition, Among other — — — Siggelkow said. Sources of this depression stem from such continuing University problems as split campuses, budget cutbacks, the construction delay, lack of recreational facilities and even the weather, all of which conspire to lower “the I 8 5 quality of life” in the University community, Siggelkow explained. A crucial cause of student disenchantment is the keen competition which often prevents entrance into a chosen 3 major or professional school. Siggelkow believes that the disenchantment can be eased “by truth in advertising; by informing students of entrance requirements; number of applicants, and employment opportunities.” to The semester's first six weeks are critical in « determining whether a student will eventually leave college, Siggelkow said, adding that an affiliation with a I fraternity or sorority will often help a new student feel ? more at home. Students who become associated with campus organizations tend to remain in school, he explained. To this end, the committee is experimenting with “University Sponsors.” A sponsor is a faculty or professional staff member who is assigned to one particular student. The sponsor is to be accessible to the student and alert to any problems encountered. According to Administrative Assistant of Student Affairs Joanne M. Plunkett, those faculty and staff f I I -* contacted have been receptive to the sponsor idea. So far, 63 have volunteered to be sponsors.

Additionally, the commission will study ways of more effectively coping with the crises such as famine and will spend considerable time with the long term problem of increasing food production in 1 developing countries. ‘The food shortage of the early seventies appears to have eased somewhat,” Wharton said, “but we cannot afford to be lulled.

Walls that usually echo with the strains of philharmonic music were instead treated to the bickering and complaining of more than 2000 of the county’s Democratic committeemen and women. Tlie occasion of this pilgrimage was the formal re-election of Committee Chairman Joe Crangle to another two-year term. For almost 13 years Crangle has oiled the wheels and cranked the gears of Analysis the local Democratic political machine. Before him Peter Crotty had cranked those same gears and before him so had another and another, as far back as anyone could remember. But just last year the machine broke down with a sudden shattering clunk. The clunk came with last year’s Democratic primary when machine-backed mayoral candidate Les Foschio was utterly defeated by Arthur Eve, a black mayoral candidate who totally denounced the machine. Eve in turn was defeated in the general mayoral election by Conservative candidate James Griffin, a maverick who also campaigned along an anti-Crangle line. Almost all Crangle-backed candidates lost las year. The machine looked ready to crumble for the first tiem in memory. Time change But alot has happened in the past year. Crangle has shown this city the true nature of his character; the man is a true pillar of toughness, bluntness and creative nepotism. In one year he has managed to run City Hall his way, with no huts about it. In that same period of time he has also managed to alienate the emire School Board, the Fire Department, various members of the Cornipon council and a very large part of the city bureacracy. At the wake of one of their fellows last June, City Hall workers spoke of nothing but how rough the work load had become and how tense the atmosphere was in “the Hall.” But in that same year that Griffin had weakened, Crangle and the rest ofcthe machine had grown strong once again. So strong that now Griffin’s anti-machine forces were only able to capture less than five per cent of the committee. Still, Griffin had not given up. James Crotty, a local attorney who happens to be Peter .Crotty’s son, had beep picked by Griffin to challenge Crangle’s seat. “Make a lot of noise” was the word among Griffinites, “Stall for time.” But the machine was back in operation. Griffin just couldn’t jam the gears. The icing on the cake for Crangle came when Eve, previously a Crangle hater, stood on the dias calling for party solidarity and effectively called for the re-election of Crangle and his officers. With shouts and cheers Crangle was re-elected almost by acclamation. The machine is cranking again. ‘New’ newsmagazine to debut in November Students may soon have another publication to read besides The Spectrum and the Reporter. Sub-Board, the student-run is corporation, planning to publish a weekly news magazine that will offer the a University community “different perspective” on the news. The new publication has been allocated $13,000 through various shifts the Sub-Board in Publications Division budget. Vice President for Sub-Board Jane Baum said, “The new publication will not intend to fulfill the needs of a newspaper, but rather be a news magazine. In a sense, it’s meant as competition for The but Spectrum competition for quality, so that both papers can improve.” The idea for a news magazine on the UB campus spawned according to Baum, “directly from student input.” An editorial staff will soon be chosen and will work in conjunction with the Publications Board. This news magazine will contain a pot-pourri of themes and issues. As a weekly paper, it will be able to develop in-depth stories and interviews, and will also print detailed criticism and analysis. Baum emphasized that it will be a “student publication,” in the sense that it can be a showcase for student talent, which she believes is “out there, waiting.” New perspective The prospect of another voice on the UB campus can provide the with community University University on another opinion issues. Baum, a strong supporter of this project, believed that “there’s definitely varied kinds of journalistic approaches that can every for explored be controversy.” The new publication will be somewhat reminiscent in format of the now defunct UB magazine, Ethos, since it will not deal strictly with “hard news” stories. Ethos too had been subsidized by Sub-Board, and according to Baum, “had deteriorated by last December, but around three years ago, it was a great magazine.” will The news magazine first its make hopefully appearance in November. Another issue is expected in December, with weekly publication to begin in January. In t) Buffalo i 3 Recall bill on November ballot by Irene Binaxas Spectrum Staff Writer After November 7th, Buffalonians may have the power to oust an elected city official before the end of his term, if they vote “yes” to restore a measure removed from the city charter 50 years ago. University District Councilman Eugene Fahey introduced a “recall” bill into the Common Council earlier this year. According to the proposed bill, if Buffalo residents do not approve of an elected city official’s actions, they can force the recall of the election in which that official was chosen. The collection of signatures on a petition equal to at least 20 percent of the number of voters in the most recent gubernatorial election will be required to place ,a recall measure on the ballot. The signatures must be gathered in'30 days, the law states. The recall bill was passed by the council this summer, but Mayor James D. Griffin the most vetoed it. Last likely victim of a recall measure week, the Common Council overrode the Mayor’s veto of the bill II to 4. Councilman Fahey deems the bill a “necessary measure for the city,” but there are those who disagree with him. South District Councilman James P. Keane, an independently elected candidate, is vehemently opposed to the recall measure. He fears that strong political parties will use their vast resources to organize recall campaigns against victorious independents. Keane and many other councilmen believe that the recall bill would cause more harassment of public officials; Fahey, however, is certain this will not happen. — — Not lined up Filmore District Councilwoman Shirley C. Stolarski also believes that the right to recall emotions would be abused, especially since she holds that the media sometimes unfairly manipulate politicians Councilman-at-large Gerald Whelan voted -p against the recall because “it’s not properly lined S up,” he said. “Any little thing bothering a small group could cause them to initiate recall measures. A S public official must judge on what the majority of $ the people want, not just a small group,” | commented Whelan. W Other councilmen who voted for the recall bill 5 have expressed a desire for it to be amended before the November election because of,its vagueness. As the law reads now, petitions need not state the reason why a recall is desired. Fahey says this vagueness is necessary because it would be impossible to state every possible reason for wanting to remove an elected official. He also said, “The bill has been passed in the Council; it is ready as it is to be put on the ballot.” • ® Up to the people Councilman-at-large Herbert L. Bellamy, claiming no personal aversion to the recall measure, opposes the bill solely because of the financial burden special elections on taxpayers. He believes that the sponsors of a petition drive for a recall should be held financially responsible for the balloting. Fahey agreed that, “It costs money to run elections,” but said there would be no amendments to relieve taxpayers of this cost. According to Fahey, most cities have recall measures built into their city charters. Buffalo had a recall measure until 1928, when a new charter was drawn up limiting the number of times a person could be elected to a public office. A recall measure was therefore felt unnecessary. In 1961, however, when the incumbent mayor desired re-election, he convinced the council to alter the charter, removing the limitations. The citizens of Buffalo now have the chance to reinstate the recall. Fahey concluded, “It is up to the people whether or not they want recall in the city charter.” Elections for SENATORS AND SASU � In order to vote you must have an election sticker on your I.D. card. i\ Wed.

Brockport knocked off UB 17-7 last year in a dull match, but this year the two defenses promise to knock heads in what could be a thrilling battle.. Last Saturday the Buffalo defense came of age against John Carroll. Early on the Bulls performed like 11 diplomats who speak 11 with nobody to translate. By the second quarter foreign tongues they somehow got together and looked devastating. Similar to the old Minnesota Viking style, the Buffalo Brickline gives up the yards between the 20’s, but nothing more. For Larry Rothman, Randy Retzlaff, Shane Currey and company, the future is now. The Bulls promising nucleus is finally playing up to forecasts. Jim Rodriguez looked much sharper last week, thanks mostly to his offensive line. In a close game, Rodriguez has shown he is able to find his receivers. What about Gary Quatrani? Early in the game, the sprinter had his man beat in the end zone but the pass was under thrown. Quatrani never saw the ball come his way again. His kickoff return certainly proved he’s got the acceleration to turn games around. - of OcicX& by Merlin and Eddie Last week, Merlin and Eddie got too crocked at Fallfest our record acknowledges that fact.

We should not discourage their efforts to get involved. The policy stems from, the Recreation Department’s desire to generate more revenue, a noble aspiration.

Hunter Thompson, dubious doctor of journalism, bored and angered a crowd of over 500 Commentary people in the Fillmore Room at the first Student Association (SA) Speakers Bureau presentation. Anticipation ran high as the the delayed crowd awaited “gonzo guru.” Snatches of “He’s insane the guy’s incredibly reckless” drifted through the air. “We came to see the freak,” two graduate students remarked. Thompson, considered by some as one of the pillars of “new journalism,” has gained a national reputation and a strong cult following as a voyeur of decadent low-life who happens to write fast paced narrative. Thompson’s infamy swelled when Garry - Trudeau, author of Doonesbury, began writing the bizarre figure into his strip. Speakers Bureau chairman Rollins prefaced Lenny Thompson’s late arrival with a to the audience. request is now outside,” “Thompson Rollins said. “He won’t appear unless he is guaranteed that you won’t throw anything, be hostile and rowdy, or attack him.” Moments later, the balding, glassy-eyed hack of bombs-away journalism sauntered to the podium. Out of his bag of tricks, the doctor removed a bottle of hooch Qrivas Regal which he proceeded to spill all over the table. “C’mon Duke,” the audience chanted — — Uncle Duke Rollins, obviously aware of the intoxicated condition of his guest (he had earlier dragged him fron the airport bar), spoon fed Thompson the first question what did you think of the - —continued on , page 12— Hours cut, too * UB Libraries besieged by cuts in spending power Editor’s note: This is the first of two articles examining one of the worst tales of the plight of the libraries here financial woe the University has to offer. — by Harvey Shapiro Contributing Editor Investigation by The Spectrum has revealed that the Libraries here are financially and functionally inferior to other university libraries across the state. SUNY Buffalo’s extensive library system victimized by yearly cuts in spending power since 1975 receives far less acquisition money per student than the three other centers in the SUNY systgjn. Budget strain has left the various libraries here open fewer hours per week than all other units in the state purveyed. (See chart.) A perplexed Director of Libraries Saktidas Roy has been forced to juggle staff positions and operating hours with the opening of each academic year. With pleas for adequate funds annually bouncing off of stone deaf ears in - — the State Division of Budget, Roy must answer each complaint about his crippled system with the same answer: “No money.” The acquisition aim of the Libraries has been handicapped so severely that Roy is warning that accreditation problems may loom in the horizon. In an interview with The Spectrum, Roy explained that the Libraries’ meager budget has not provided the funds necessary to acquire new books. “In fact,” he said, “the budget has not kept up with inflation.” While UB is the largest of all SUNY units, its libraries receive the least amount of money per student. According to Roy, only SUNY/Bingham ton, with an enrollment of 8756, has an adequately funded library system. Despite an enrollment here of 25,500 students 300 percent of Binghamton’s Buffalo receives only $200,000 or 22 percent more for its libraries. — — Inflation hurts The extra money going to places like Binghamton is sorely missed. According to Roy, the State’s 1978-79 budget calls for an increase of 8.1 percent, while the prices of books and periodicals have jumped 15 percent in the past year. “As a result we cannot maintain our subscriptions to periodicals and serials,” Roy said. The University’s 1979-80 budget asks for $1,661,400 in acquisition money, however Roy doubts that the full amount will be allotted by the State Division of Budget (DOB). “The planned budget includes the expected 15 percent rise in costs as well as an 8 percent increase for growth,” Roy said, “but I doubt we will even receive the inflation increase.” The deterioration of the Library system here began in 1975 when the Library’s budget was slashed by $300,000. At that time, UB was the only state unit to have its library’s budget cut so severely. No school has since been granted a significant increase.

This year, the Undergraduate Library (UGL) hours have been slashed 14 hours per week and Lockwood Library's hours have been cut 10 hours per week. Again, the culprit for all this is the sharp red pencils wielded by the Division of Budget. In addition to a stagnant budget, the Libraries have been burdened with new woes by their move to Amherst. The new Lockwood and UGL facilities are far bigger than their predecessors. As a result, the Library administration has been forced to cover a huge area with a dwindling staff. “We need more staff in the new buildings." Roy said, “but we haven’t got it. As a result we have had to cut Accreditation troubles? The rising inflation rate and the sinking budget has meant that the Library has not been able to keep its subscriptions to many periodicals. While no department currently faces accreditation problems because of the Library’s woes, Roy foresees trouble in the future. “We have a rich collection right now," Roy said. “buf if this goes on for another five years, it might come to the point where a department's accreditation will be in jeopardy because of a lack of research materials, particularly periodicals," Students, though, have already been inconvenienced by the lack of periodicals here. “What’s happened," Roy explained, “is that those who do research in specialized areas, won’t find the material in Lockwood.” Roy singled out the sciences as a trouble spot. “We definitely should have many more journals in science than we have now.” he said. Students who need materials not present in the libraries must use Inter-Library Loan, a service which photostats materials from other libraries and then mails the copies to UB. But Inter-Library Loan is far from ideal since a wait of a week or more for materials to reach the 7 hands of the student is customary. Roy said the Microfilm Collection is particularly hard AI 1 pressed. “Our microfilm department is hurting badly and we depend a lot on Inter-Library Loan to get the materials,” Roy said. “In this school we should have a very good microfilm collection, but we just don t have the money to make it what it should be." the library staff there has been maintained and acquisition money, while not rising with inflation, has remained stable for several years. Meanwhile, the Libraries here have not recovered the funds cut in 1975. “Each year,” Roy said, “we fall further 00 r2? and further behind the inflation rate. In five years, we could be facing a dangerous situation whereby a department might have accreditation problems because of a lack of periodicals.” £ < cage 16 different libraries, mandating separate staffs and hours "We have had to stretch out the staff and we must therefore, cut into hours,” Roy said.

As Siggelkow indicated, “He did not know how to concentrate on ideas. A lot of things he started were never completed.” Acting Dean of the Colleges Claude Welch summarized the University feelings towards Meyerson; “He came to Buffalo from Berkeley with an aura of the wonderman, and faculty and students both had great over expectation.” Faculty members and administrators were not surprised to hear of Meyerson’s resignation. “Twelve years is a long time to serve in a position that demanding,” commented Welch.

If only we had all the answers! Th« truth is, the composing process is and always will be a mystery, at | c least in part, if what current research tells us is true. This is so because a writing is not totally a rule-governed process. No one. despite what writing handbook editors try to tell you, can give you a list of steps, which, if followed in the proper sequence, will guarantee you a i well-polished and thoughtful end product. Of course, there are certain | rules to be followed, such as punctuation, subject-verb agreement, and proper paragraphing We do not deny that some important aspects of composing are rule-governed. However, much of writing is a matter of problem solving for a writer. Solving problems is a complex cognitive skill. No wonder composing is such a difficult task for most people, including published authors who admit to some anxiety over the prospect of having to fill a blank page with writing. If you are having trouble thinking of writing as a problem solving process, just consider for a moment all the basic concerns you as a writer normally have. Before you can worry about placing your commas in the right spots, you must first worry about whether you have anything interesting or important to say, and just how you will say it. The problems you must solve are many: of all the information available to you, what will you select to include in your paper 1 How will you organize the information you select so that it is clear and understandable to your audience? Who is your audience? How much background information does this audience need 1 Does this audience agree or disagree with your point of view? What'arguments should you include to persuade or dissuade your audience? What kind of voice or persona should you assume do yod sound too weak, overly confident? These are just a few of the hurdles a writer must overcome in order to produce a draft. Because writing tasks vary in terms of why you are writing, for whom or to whom you are writing, and what you are writing about, there can be no single correct answers to questions like those above. Instead, each time you sit down to write, you must solve those problems anew. Future columns will address some of these problems, and while we cannot guarantee that we will “uncover the mysteries of writing,“writing" for you, we will present some strategies for solving these complex writing problems on your own.

J — WIRC faces static over budget WIRC, the student operated radio station, will soon be playing static at 640 AM unless the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) supplies needed funding, according to Station Manager Mike Kuprijanow. Last year, IRC funded the radio station with a SI.000 budget, but the student dormitory government has not met this semester thus leaving the status of the radio station in jeopardy. “Unless we are given at least S5000, the station will not be able to survive,” Kuprijanow said. "WIRC applied for funding from the Student Association (SA) last year and although no money was allocated, SA President Richard Mott does not rule out the possibility that some funding will be provided this year.” Last April a The Spectrum survey compared the $1,000 budget with those ofother private and public college stations. WIRC ranked significantly inferior to other student stations in the State. “When we start compromising on the quality of equipment, it breaks down more,” said Krupijanow. “The end result is - that wejieed to spend more than if we yvere given enough money to buy quality equipment.” Rock ’n reggae semester. Due to the nature of the electrical wiring in the Ellicott Complex, the expense of installing the proper equipment there is estimated at approximately $5000 a figure beyond the limited grasp of WIRC. At certain times of the day, WIRC will be able to broadcast to people all over the city of Buffalo who have carrier cable thus increasing its listening potential by about 30,000ppeople. - of its financial difficulties, the station began broadcasting last Saturday to Goodyear, Clement and Schoelkopf on the Main Street Campus. There will be a greater variety of shows this year, according to Program Director Katie Williams. Each particular show will have a set format and will feature a particular style of music such as rock, soul and reggae, to name a few. WIRC will also be broadcasting the football Bull’s home games and the visiting match versus crosstown rival Canisius College. The station format will include news segments every half hour. Interviews with student government officials are in the works. In spite - Jockey needed If the needed funds are forthcoming, WIRC plans to build a new studio with a completely new control board while maintaining its current ' W1RC broadcasts its AM signal by carrier current transmitted by wire to the Main Street dorms and has leased a phone line which will enable the station to broadcast to directly the Governors Residence Hall by the end of fall location. The office will then be used to tape special programs and shows that currently can not be recorded, due to constant use of the one control board now. Kuprijanow believes WIKC offers a great educational opportunity for students and encourages students who are interested in radio communication and broadcasting to inquire at Goodyear Hall, room 104, about disc-jockey and publicity positions. —Jean Marc Brun �r 1 ■ •Pmfle-veUiAa/• H 3- n i_ f J by Denise Stumpo The chicken’s wings nee put out with the trash, have been venerated to a position of respect.

Arrange wings in a roasting pan, and on a broiler rack if possible Baste well with vinegar and sprinkle liberally with salt.

Bunn has responded to the recent English Department vs. School of Management debate by trying to de-emphasize any view of his academic plan as simply a shift of money away from the Arts and Sciences in favor of the professional schools. There are two reasons why'Bunn's efforts to sophisticate the debate will probably fail. First, the Academic Plan, despite its wealth of rhetoric aimed at underscoring the importance of the core disciplines, very much supports the conclusion Bunn attempts to undermine. Where the'plan delves into re-allocation specifics, it surely helps to fuel fears in the Arts and Letters that their eroding faculty base will be chipped away at even more. Secondly, Bunn has tried to concentrate the University's thinking on both the philosophies behind planning and the importance of the planning process. The problem here is that, while Bunn's criteria for setting priorities are hardly hidden in the plan, the relative importance of each is cloaked in phrasing that suggests all criteria will be heavily weighed and all needs will be treated with "sensitivity." The planning process, and more specifically its evaluative criteria, are sometimes perceived as a set of objective and specific rules that are subjectively and vaguely enforced. Thus, any number of value judgements are justifiable, depending on how the criteria are weighed. Focusing on the planning process becomes a frustrating exercise in futility and the planning results emerge as the center of debate. The language of the plan promotes a frustrated view of the planning process. Criteria like: "The* potential for faculty development and leadership within the unit should be considered" are easily misused or ignored. The Academic Plan, which generally makes sense and speaks clearly to the difficulties of University-wide planning, sometimes stacks the deck against the Arts and Letters in subtle, hard-to-attack ways the general emphasis on increasing research dollars, for instance. Bunn ought not to be surprised by the direction the debate has taken and will continue to take. The one-dimensional view of academic planning cannot be blamed so much on poor insight or a misdirected focus but rather on the nature of the plan itself. — Leer and loathing [Alt ID WESDGATt Its PLACE, r OflCDTIHlMS AFRAID The Emerald City gleams To the Editor On Saturday September 16 a Fallfest was celebrated on the much maligned Amherst Campus.

If you want a burger without the lettuce and tomatop-you are going to have to take them off the deluxe burger yourself.” She was a recent graduate of this University. It was beginning to make sense. A specialized world required specialized workers, who required specialized educations.

In response to Gil Lawrence’s ‘Fancy Transit’ faults, there are a number of faults in his findings as well. The purpose of a Transit Mall is to attract people down to the CBD as well as to re-vitalize business in that area which has been on a decline for the last several years. Future plans call for service to Amherst, Tonawanda and North Tonawanda, and no where has it been stated that UB plans to utilize the rapid transit system in place of bus service. Light rail catenary systems have existed in Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Newark; to name a few, for many years. In each city they have proven to be quite successful. Catenary lines do not dangle dangerously, but are well supported by catenary masts and towers. The majority of America's Northeast corridor (Amtrak’s main passenger generator) is catenary from Washington, D.C. to New Haven, Connecticut and plans call for future extension of this system to Boston. It has been in operation since the 1920’s. Two mining railroads out west have been built in the last ten years also utilizing catenary. The Bay Area Rapid Transit is not light rail and does not use catenary. It uses third rail instead. Stations in Buffalo’s LRRT system are being would be able to designed at a length accomodate longer trains when the service calls for it. A heavy rail system like the one in New York City would be much more costly to build and maintain and the type of travel demand Buffalo has does not warrant a heavy rail system. 1 think you should put a little more research into your work, before you knock the system.

Bodkin in last Wednesday’s The Spectrum that referred to me in a rather unkind matter. Apparently it is Mr. Bodkin’s belief that anyone over five foot three is a “dumb jock,” a I characterization that is, at best, grossly inaccurate in this instance.

You can find me in The Spectrum office were Choice is a one-way street To the Editor: More on abortion To the Editor The controversy about the inclusion of abortion in this year’s student health insurance is alive, despite recent attempts by The Spectrum to diminish it. Are the local media trying to “ignite the coals of controversy” or are they presenting the facts? The Spectrum has been slow to inform students on the specifics of this issue. When articles finally appeared last Friday, they contradicted each other. One article stated that abortion coverage is included for the first time this year while another article stated that coverage was included two years coverage ago. A newspaper’s primary responsibility is to inform. At least the local media has done that. Jane Baum, Chairman of Sub Board I, Inc., has said that student “input and feedback is not only solicited buj crucial to those running the show.” (The Spectrum, Sept. 15, 1978). Why then, was the decision to include abortion coverage made during the barren summer months? Could not the same decision have been made last spring or have waited until the fall when students would truly have some input?,Was it necessary to have abortion coverage in this year’s policy? It could have very well waited until student opinion was thoroughly examined and not just based on a limited survey. Ms. Baum and others have suggested that students who are opposed to the abortion clause can always buy an alternate policy. Do they realize the high costs of such policies? In essence, students who oppose abortion are penalized for their beliefs. Furthermore, there are some who feel that the right to an abortion is a private decision. If indeed this is true (although it. is highly debatable), why should the funds be made public? This is hardly common sense or logic. I urge all those who are opposed to this unfair violation of student rights and moral beliefs to express their opinion. Ms. Baum has stated that “this year’s policy can only work if everyone takes an active role.” 1 suggest that we take an active role by not paying the additional one dollar charge for abortion coverage. Then perhaps, the policy will not should those of us who do not want this coverage pay an increase in insurance costs just because some students want their abortions covered? Therefore, we demand that Sub Board 1 come up with a plan which would allow the individual to elect whether or not she or he wants to pay to have abortion coverage. Anything less than this we view as nothing short of blatant discrimination. One cannot help but wonder whether or not the pro-abortionists who might oppose us on this issue consider freedom of choice to be a one-way street. Why 77ie Spectrum can no more than guess as to whether or not the majority of UB students favor Sub Board I’s mandatory inclusion of abortion coverage in this year’s health insurance plan. The Spectrum editor, Jay Rosen, feels that we who oppose this abortion coverage are only a “vocal minority.” We most definitely disagree with him on this point, but even if we were a minority, would this mean that we are not entitled to our rights as individuals? We wish that the members of Sub Board I would not impose their personal morality on the rest of us. Debbie Osika Joseph A. Walter Abortion charge—What a ripoff that covers everyone hot just a small minority of the To the Editor. This letter is in response to a letter written by the Anti-Sexism Committee, National Lawyer’s Guild, Buffalo Law School Chapter in the 9/15 issue of The Spectrum. You mentioned in your letter that it would fee discriminatory against women if the abortion clause was not included in the health policy. Has it ever occurred in your “one-sided” minds that the abortion clause -is directly discriminating against men? Why in blazes should we have to pay for something that we don’t want. If some feel so strong that it is a good edition, then they should pay but for those of us who are getting ripped off, we shouldn’t have to pay, until they add extra coverage - paying students. This is a way of spitting in the face of the majority. The average person might have the attitude, a dollar?” True; it isn’t much per person, but multiply that times thousands and you come out with an extraordinary figure. If Higham-Whitridge (the insurance company) wanted to add this to their coverage, then a vote should of been taken by the party concerned, but instead the company said, “Well, there’s no time, so “What’s we’ll just add it.” This has to be University’s history! the worst ripoff in the Larry Bergus Personal abortion viewpoints _ work. _ Larry Connors note: The Spectrum first reported on the abortion coverage June 30, the first paper after the coverage was approved by Sub Board. We repeated the news September 1, the first issue of the fall semester. We did not report on the lack of controversy until we were sure there was such a lack. We did not report on the Buffalo media’s coverage until the Buffalo media covered the issue. editor's To the Editor. inadequacy of the same court in handling the Bakke case. Talk about the Buffalo media trying “to ignite the coals of controversy about Sub Board I, Inc.’s abortion coverage!” It’s amazing how The Spectrum editors flooded Friday’s edition with their personal pro-abortion viewpoints and didn’t think that they were wrong. Despite what The Spectrum may like one to believe, the news media’s coverage of the issue (I saw none) must have been very limited compared to its own. Perhaps the reason that no objection was raised over the coverage two years ago was that The Spectrum, in their oily ways, never made mention of And now, with alternate insurance sometimes prohibitively expensive, economically what real choice do students have but to pay the $73.50? Thus, there is no real choice, much the same as we have no choice, over paying for publication of that propagandist piece called The Spectrum. • we have the Buffalo Anti-Sexism Committee, which wholeheartedly supports the ’73 Supreme Court abortion decision. Yet, it’s groups like this w(jo were first to complain about the Next But the biggest turkeys of all are from Sub-Board.

In any case, what we have here are three groups (The Spectrum, the Anti-Sexism Committeeand Sub Board) whose ideas are strictly last place. That is, they belong in the rear. Henry Senefelder III note: As is becoming customary with many people of your persuasion, you have twisted the Editor's opinions of the people you feel oppose you. Nowhere have The Spectrum editors expressed their personal feelings on abortion. Nor will we. We have taken an editorial stand in favor of abortion coverage and in favor of an individual's rights to make a choice for or against abortion. By now, you must be tired of hearing that we are "pro-choice and that our personal feelings on the morality of abortion are wholly irrelevant. Perhaps this weariness is why you have chosen to ignore such an obvious fact. ” t? 5 1 �\ To the Editor: | ■ - Bus tokenism how many poor, uninformed, bus-riding students there are in UB who don’t know t about bus tokens.

I’ll admit that there are a lot of things here that would detract from one’s school spirit: long lines, split campuses, Robert Ketter, no horny bitches, but these can be overcome by big events that bring students together. Fallfesl on Main Street Friday was tremendous. It was a better reason to cut class than pummeling wimpy freshmen. Fallfest should have been followed by a capacity crowd at the football game versus John Carroll University. However, the stands were only about one-third full, with even fewer people than in a Chem 101 lecture willing to use any physical motions to let our Bulls know we were behind them. True the members of TKE and the Tampon Bay members of the “Animal House” known as the 8th floor Goodyear, but overall the stands resembled Matt Kirkland's sex-life DORMANT!

The delays have been blamed on poorly prepared manual and computer processing systems to handle the influx of applications. Many students were confused by the new application process, according to President of the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (NYSHEC) Eileen Dickinsen. NYSCHE is responsible for operating TAP. Although many students have not received their NYSHEC has significantly improved its procedure over last year. The corporation redesigned its student payment application, changed its manual processing system and acquired a computer for its own exclusive use. Dickinson said TAP distributed applications last April to enable more students to obtain awards before the academic year started. Because of these improvements the corporation was able to start making payments last August. award, TODAY IS: According to a TAP press release, last year by September 1 only 63 per cent of the applications it had received were processed. In contrast, this year using redesigned processing techniques, TAP was able to process 85 per cent of the application. This was TAP’s best record since the program was created in 1974. The improvement in processing helps students and their respective colleges determine how much is to be paid in TAP awards. The Bursars office at this University allows students to defer payments on the portion of tuition that they expect to receive. The standard procedure followed if a TAP award has not been received, is to present some evidence of the amount of money expected from TAP to the Bursars office. This is usually done by presenting a certificate specifying the amount received the previous year. If the student does not know how much he is to receive, he can fill out a form of credit, and full tuition is given on that credit according to the Director of Student Accounts William Calhoun. -Philip Schuman ■ All interested studen are urged to attend a general organizational meetingThurs.Sept. 21 4 pm 233 Squire Environmental Protection Political Reform Energy Conservation - Yet another hassle projects Social Justice ETS Reform Voter Registration Utility Reform school’s land was seized, and its name was changed Columbia.

Recently, there have been six deaths attributed to hazing in various colleges throughout the country, including the University of Pennsylvania, Alfred and North Carolina. In April of 1977, University of Pennsylvania sophomore Robert Bazile collapsed at Omega Psi Phi fraternity house. Cause of death was listed as “aggravation of natural diseases of the heart.” The aggravation was attributed to a routine Omega Psi Phi hazing. That routine hazing, however, was anything but routine. On the day of his death, Bazile and his fellow pledges were forced to march around campus, were tested on fraternity history, punched in the chest if they gave the wrong answer. Finally, the pledges were paddled four times with 24-inch wooden paddles to emphasize the fraternity’s “four cardinal principles.” 836-8905 (Aero** — Beginning Hebrew ■Th ■1 pm 262 Squire Beginning Yiddish Wed. 7 8:30 pm Hillel House Torah Reading Th 7 8:30 pm Hillel House Basic Judaism Tues. 7 8:30 pm Fargo Cafeteria Talmud Sun. 4 5:30 pm Hillel House — “Good, clean, fun?” Many Open everyday till 4 am We serve food till 3 am HILLEL FREE JEWISH UNIVERSITY — by Kathleen McDonough Spectrum Staff Writer Our Juke Box has the best selections of JAZZ & Top 10 & Rock 3178 BAILEY AVE.

The game against Alderson Broddus started off as a repeat of last week’s Niagara game. UB again looked weak in the passing department, and started out sloppily. After falling behind 4-1, Buffalo woke up in the second half and made a game of it. They took the play away form - Alderson According to fullback Steve Cate, if the Bulls had more time, they would have tied it up. Alderson Broddus was awarded two penalty kicks in the game, and UB goalie Mark Celeste stopped one of them. The next day was a totally different story.

At the outset of the first period, JCU burst out to a 7-0 advantage by doing what every smart team does capitalizing on trotted small, onto — oppositions’ errors. Buffalo OB Jim Rodriguez threw an interception on Buffalo’s second series of the game. Six plays and thirty yards later, JCU’s John DuBroy squirted by the Bulls’ Pete Kryszynski at right end on a quarterback option for six yards and the early lead. Carroll clearly outplayed Buffalo over the remainder of the first period, but a series of penalties kept UB in the contest. Buffalo’s second and most costly error occured on the first tick of the clock in the second quarter.

State University of New York at Buffalo Vol. 29, No. 15 Monday, 18 September Officials think 1978 Bunn responds to new attacks for on proposed Academic Plan No new funds seen Colleges despite review by Elena Cacavas by John H. Reiss Special to The Spectrum An outside Review Committee’s richly laudatory assessment of the Colleges will not send UB administrators running to withdraw from University coffers money desperately needed by the living-learning • institutions, according to two Colleges officials. Neither former Dean of the Colleges Irving Spitzberg nor Acting Dean Claude Welch forsee any dramatic change in funding for the Colleges, even in light of the positive note struck by the Review Committee’s Report. The Report indicated that the Colleges are at a critical time of their existence and that University support, both financial and inspirational, will be crucial in determining their future. Welch was cautious in his prediction, claiming only that the formulation of a University budget is a “complex and difficult undertaking of redistribution” of funds. He did state that the Colleges are not in as strong an arguing position for money as is the School of Management, a fact which should be reflected in the budget. But the Report will add fuel to the Colleges’ fires. Said Welch; “The Colleges will use the document as proof of their educational continuity and the extra support they merit.” He said he hoped the report w'ould lay to rest doubts the administration may have about the Colleges. > Lack of incentive Spitzberg claimed that the University “ought to” follow the guidelines of the Report, but doubted it would. “We won’t get vast new money,” he said. “Only Management will.” Spitzberg indicated that a change in attitude among top University officials would be an integral part of the Colleges’ growth. Spitzberg was alluding to the lack of incentives provided by the University to faculty members for participation in the Colleges. The Colleges have no degree program and participation in the system is not considered as an important contribution in terms of tenure. “The University must provide incentives for active participation in the Colleges,” Spitzberg said. “Clearly, recognition for College service must be given when considering distribution of merit money.” He claimed instruction in the Colleges should also affect both promotions and tenure. Spitzberg implied that Colleges participation may have had a negative effect on faculty members in the past, a pattern which he felt must be reversed. “People must see that what they did was important,” he said. “Participation in the Colleges must not hold someone back. The University must make it clear that service counts for, not against, the individual.” . —continued pn page 18— Fallfest in pictures—P. 4 / fast meeting three sets of concerns;” Contributing Editor Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn, confronting mounting criticisrp of his Academic Plan Thursday, called it “a mistake” to view academic planning as a shift of money away from the Arts and Sciences in favor of nurturing the professional schools. Bunn, interviewed by The Spectrum to respond to recent charges by the beleagured English Department, conceeded that the department’s officials are grappling with “an anxiety about the future and a perceived continuing of erosion their resources.” Confronted with dwindling resources and higher than ever demand for Composition 101 and nationally 102 courses, the acclaimed English Depart mem faces the threat of “serious disaffection setting in,” according to Chairman Gale Carrithers. Those concerns are; the level of funding the University can expect to receive from the state for the next five years; qualitative judgements on the strength of individual programs; and how those programs mesh with the academic mission and educational responsibilities of the University. “For me the question is not one of any dean’s ineffectiveness,” Bunn said. “1 think it is wholly unjustified for - While the demand for introductory writing courses was clearly attributed to an additional 500 freshmen enrolled this fall, the crunch has composition spotlighted the burning issue of a crucial faculty-line allocations - part of the Academic Plan. Carrithers has'charged that the Dean of Arts and Letters George Levine, has been unable to this “protect faculty from depletion becuase we have an Academic Vice President to cutting down the core disciplines in order to build up some of the professional commited schools.” Three sets of concerns But Bunn felt this criticism missed the mark. “It-is not a matter of Levine or any dean’s being ‘ineffective’ in protecting a faculty or school from whatever reductions or reallocations we have judged appropriate in VP for Acadamic Affairs Ronald Bunn Commited to cutting core disciplines? anyone to the construe reallocation process in terms of ability of one compared to another.” the dean as Bunn said that deans of all units have been asked to present proposals which recognize the three major concerns and speak to “the relationship we think has to exist among the three.” A responsibility of a dean then becomes insuring that Bunn understands “the consequences” the Academic Plan will have for the dean’s program. explained Bunn that the University’s level of state funding predicated by a formula is employed by Albany for all of SUNY. “Whether we like the formula or not, it is irresponsible to ignore the basis upon which we can project our resources,” he stated. The central factor of this upon formula relied a student/faculty ratio. For the past several years, the ratio has been approximately 17 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) students per one FTE instructional position (or member). Although faculty admitting the ratio is “modestly ranged” Bunn stressed that “there is a constraint on academic planning because there can be no level of funding to a richer ratio.” Bunn maintained that certain units have been burdened with a student/faculty ratio too high to allow quality programs to develop. Adding that in the past these programs have been not predominantly, although exclusively, in the professional schools he said, “It is a mistake to interpret academic planning as a straightforward reallocation away from Arts and Sciences to the purpose supporting of professional schools.” Bunn stated that departments “such as English” have in fact had their student ratio improved in the last several years, concluding, “It ought not be so much a concern based simply on their current level of funding.” He added terms in that of student/faculty the ratios, department is not in a poorer position now than four years ago.

The announcement, made last Friday in Washington, was accompanied by a brief ceremony attended by area elected officials, community leaders and members of the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA). NFTA will administer the $439.8 million project. Among the area’s politicians in attendance were congressmen Henry J. Nowak, Jack F. Kemp and John LaFalce; the U.S. Senators Daniel P. Moynihan and Jacob J. Javits; Mayor James D. Griffin and State Commissioner of Transportation William C. Hennesy. Friday’s award follows more than a decade of planning and design effort. NIT'A Chairman Chester R. Hardt pointed out that LRRT will be the largest public works project in Western New York’s history since the budding of the Erie Barge Canal in the mid-1800’s. Above this, he foresees an acceleration of real estate development to accompany the implementation of the new transit line. “The State University did a study some time ago,” he observes, “which predicted that real estate development occurring as a result of this project may well exceed the total cost of building the line.” $50 million construction grant for Buffalo’s infant born Kenneth G. Knight, general manager of the Authority’s Metro Construction Division, illustrated that “the initial line which has been born today is the infant that, when it grows to maturity, will hopefully become a full-scale regional network. Throughout its implementation, the light rail transit line will be fully integrated with NFTA’i present Metro Bus system, providing this area’s residents with significantly improved public transportation service.” The 6.4 mile line is the initial section of an approximate 17-mile rail system to eventually provide Buffalo, Amherst, Tonawanda and North Tonawanda with direct rail service. This first section will follow along MaiStreet from the Memorial Auditorium northeastedy to the South (Main Street) Campus. It will have 1.2 miles at the surface (downtwon); 1.7 miles of cut-and-cover subway; and 3.5 miles of rock tunnel subway. The trains will be able to cover the entiri! distance in under 35 minutes. It is hoped that eventually, part of the LRRT system will connect the Main Street and Amherst Campuses. However, the whole project has hit a couple of snags. The first is a controversy between the Buffalo Forest District Association (BFDA) and the NFTA over what is to be done with the sulphur water which will have to be drained from the proposed LRRT tunnels. The NFTA plans to drain this water from the tunnels, treat it with hydrogen peroxide to remove odors and then feed it into Scajaquada Creek and Delaware Park Lake. Party of interest The BFDA’s major concerns hinge on three issues: what effect this may have on creek water flowing into the Niagara River; what effect the introduction of additional water into the creek will have on the level of the Park Lake; and what effect the lowering of groundwater levels wUfhave in North Buffalo. —continued on page 18— Handicapped services available Services for the handicapped Various support services are available to assist students who have a — medical and/or physical handicap experience as full and successful a college life as possible.

First of all, it was a typically opinionated article !hat was characterized by yellow journalism. Associating the “Ellicott frenzy” with the movie ‘Animal House” based soley on the beliefs “of a University Police Officer is a poor basis for entitling .he article. The most diconcerting fact was that the article contained many distorted facts. Here are some examples; 1) It did not originate on the second floor of but, in fact, on ihe third floor. 2) Nobody “dived for cover” from the K-9 patrol. If anything, they were laughing at and made Wilkeson sport of. 3) A very Fargo-opinionated view of the initiation of the “riot” and its eventual outcome prevailed in the article. It’s a shame that the two “investigative reporters” who reside in Fargo failed to consult a single Wilkeson resident. There are other distortions but many unfortunately they are too numerous to mention. Since this whole affair was spontaneous and done in good fun, there maybe those who are not concerned with the actual facts relating to the story. The purpose, in fact, was to expose the shody reporting of The'Spectrum staff writers. We feel this style of writing has become a much to common occurance on the pages of The Spectrum. Leo Aulicino David Lapping Michael Shatzkin Editor's Note: First of all, "yellow journalism" seems to have become a catch-all cliche for anything people don't like about our coverage. Yellow journalism, when used properly, refers to the deliberate sensationalizing of an otherwise tranquil or unexciting event or situation. From all accounts, this was a non-mundane happening. It was in fact sensational compared to most of what goes on around here. The Spectrum may or may not practice yellow journalism on occasion. That is for out readers to decide. But we doubt our report in this case is legitimately criticized as such. Secondly, you seem to have forgotten that this was not a be-all, end-all news story on the "riot but rather an eyewitness account. Bartz and Delia, who have never been termed “investigative reporters" here or anywhere else, merely recored their perceptions of the event mixed with a few comments from people they happened to pass by. We would not pretend that such a story could portray that everything night. that happened The disturbance was too big and too spontaneous. As far as the factual descrepancies go, you may have a legitimate claim to "starting" everything, and perhaps the students around your vanatage point didn't dive for cover. But Bartz and Delia, working on a Tuesday morning deadline, stayed up all night just to get their thoughts down on paper and in The Spectrum by Wednesday morning. If they neglected to consult your floor on the "facts ”, perhaps time constraints may explain things. Overall, given the fact that this all happened after our conventional Monday night deadline, we feel we did a more than adequate job in getting Barn and Delia’s story in the paper Wednesday. We apologize if the facts were not perfect. To the editors, capturing the spirit and excitement of the event seemed at least as important as pinpointing where the first obscenity was yelled.

You can run blit you cannot hide from the question: What am I going to do with my life? So, the first fortnight in September finds opposite forces pulling on our thoughts. We must look out for our new selves by examining the details of existing. And we must look in for our true selves by facing the inescapable questions of colleae-aae youth. The September —mind works in a state of conflict. Though we might ordinarily run to friends or lovers, we suspect they may be fighting the same battles in theii own heads. So the conflict must be reso'ved in solace. The most common perpetual result? Indecision. We change minds that have been set for months, re-examining ways of life that we once assumed were real and good. We hesitate when the moment screams for a move forward. We rationalize our stagnancy and use it as a cheap substitute for decision. And we are kept awake at night, listening to the silence because its utter simplicity leaves the real-life questions naked before us. The University appears as a mountain shrouded in mist and standing in our way too high and foreboding to surmount but too wide and mysterious to hike around. Surely, we will collapse on either route. And turning back, quitting, means the ultimate conflict: was I wrong the first time? or weak the second? The first fortnight in September is a crazy, gut-wrenching time when I’ve seen too many talented and intelligent people who, when faced with indecision, sided with weakness. I am bothered by it. What we must realize is that September’s indecision is but a time .of the season a natural by-product of the conflict within us. If we are being pulled apart these first few weeks, it is no more an omen than the thunderstorm that hits when your plane touches down. Would we turn back right there, cursing the rotten weather. I’ve found most indecision to be not a fork between two equally inviting paths, but a crossroads where one route beckons clearly marked, well-traveled, safe and secure; and the other disappears into the brush mysterious, uncharted, even frightening. It is the choice between the predictable and the cryptic that is most vexing. The only advice anyone can give is to recognize the true sources of indecision, so they are not confused with some dreamed-up character flaw like unintelligence; the contagious character of indecision, so that you do not feel alone in this mess; and the permanence of indecision, for as you know, only the fool and the dead man come to a final - - — — decision. , I speak from experience. Three different transcripts with three different seals describing five different majors through five difficult years will tell you that indecision and I are old, old friends. And finally, there is the Scarecrow, who has been pulled apart. Though his friends easily stuff him back together he must steal the witch’s broomstick and stand trembling before a phoney Oz before he realizes that even with his diploma in hand he had a brain all along. — — �daymondaymondayrr feedback SA asks Chancellor to continue UB Council inquiry Editor’s Note: The following letter was sent to SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton Friday by Student Association President Richard Mott and Executive Vice President Karl Scwartz. It asks to investigate Wharton the circumstances surrounding the UB College Council student representative's right to make and second motions, as reported in a copyrighted story in The Spectrum last Wednesday. Dear Chancellor Wharton Recent events have taken place concerning the activities of the State University of New York at Buffalo (UB) College Council, ’serious enough in nature to warrant your immediate attention. As representatives of the student body at UB, we feel obligated to inform you of those events and the serious questions that they raise. At the UB College Council meeting held on September 11, 1978, Council Chairman Robert B. Millonzi informed Michael Pierce, the student representative to the Council, that he no longer had motioning power. Mr. Millonzi based his decision on a memo sent to him by the University’s attorney, Hilary P. Bradford. Included in the memo was a 1976 opinion from State Attorney General Louis I. Lefkowitz questioning the right of a non-voting member to the SUNY Board of Trustees to make issue. Cynthia Whiting, the student representative to the College Council at the time, had repeatedly insisted during the Council’s Spring meetings that an investigation be initiated to the Ketter presidency and the issues concerning it which were being raised in the University Community. We wonder why the University attorney would send the Chairman of the College Council an outdated memo concerning an issue of such import. In addition, if he was previously aware of the Attorney General’? questions on the matter why did Mr. Bradford not inform Mr. Millonzi prior to Everyone's unhappy To the Editor The bus situation is ridiculous in case some of you out there haven’t yet noticed.

We wonder, also, if the timing of the memo was just coincidental or was it sent with a mind to reduce further the already limited power of the student representative to the College Council. At a time when the student representative was the only member of the Council to seriously recognize the University-wide disenchantment with Dr. Ketter, such a ruling would have effectively quelled any Council action on the issue. Finally, if indeed the motivation behind the sending of the memo was to render impotent the student representative on the College Council, we wonder who prompted Mr. Bradford to send the memo to Mr. Millonzi. We do not feel that it is paranoia which leads us to suspect possible wrongdoing on the part of the University Administration or the College Council. The circumstances surrounding the events of the College Council between April and September of this year are far too closely related to simply put tltem Shiva Tavana Recreational anger second motions. Bradford included in his mailing a signed cover letter which read as follows: “You may be interested in the enclosed letter from the Attorney General to Walter Relihan (June 14, 1976), which addresses the question of whether the non-voting member of the SUNY Board of off as coincidental.

I was interested to see in “Feedback” that another commuter was hassled by the policies of the Recreational FAcilities. 1 can truly understand the anger of paying so much money for fees only to have unpleasant situations when one tries to use them. 1 too had an episode in August at the Ellicott Courts. I do not know if the “jock” the letter writer speaks about is the same “jock” I encountered but the manner appears the same. The no-guest policies have been inconsistently applied during the past summer either loosely or harshly depending on the whims of the person in charge. Being a married and employed student who is new to this country my contacts are limited and time scarce. My wife and I enjoyed tennis during the summer, that is, until the month of August when suddenly “the law” was enforced differently! One evening we entered the half filled courts to be stopped by a sweaty tennis player for $2 so my wife could use the courts. It was just beyond my understanding how one sweaty tennis player could suddenly turn from his game and be an employee demanding money. When we asked this “university employee” for some identification to let us know that he was indeed in charge and responsible; he let us know he would call the University Police if we tried to play. I decided to get the police myself to straighten out the matter. I searched for a half an hour and when I called the operator, I was told they could not be summoned. We left disgusted but determined to find an answer. I called William Monkarsh the next day from the Recreational Department to try to understand the policies as well as to find out if this tennis champion was employed by the University and if so why he did not act like someone working or have any ID that would assure me that he would not pocket the money. Promptly in the mail I received a recipt for the $2 I never paid. I guess Monkarsh wanted to take care of this matter as expediantly as possible. I tried to reach Dr. Esposito, the Assistant Dean for an entire week but he was too busy with registration and could not be reached. As all upsetting incidents, ray anger subsided with time. I do hope with the letter that appeared Wednestoy, September 13 and my own Mr. Monkaroh or Dr. Esposito would feel moved enough - Cafeteria: for everyone To the Editor. The Spectrum’s reporters have often interviwed me, and on the whole, 1 have been quoted with a surprising degree of accuracy.

I am enrolled in Theater 111, Body Movement for Actors, a dance course. At present there are no dressing ‘room facilities and the students are obliged to use the bathrooms for changing clothes I was in the men’s room outside the dance studio after class. I was in the process of changing into my street clothes. With my back facing the door, I heard the door burst open. I looked up and was confronted by two intensely scrutinizing uniformed campus police officers. The foilwing ensued: Campus Police: [leeringly 1 “What are you doing?!” (Mind you, at this point 1 was nude, just preparing to pull on my shorts.) Me: “I’m changing my clothes. We have to use the bathroom as a dressing room.” (There were other members of the class present, also changing.) Campus Police: [with more than a touch of rancor] “They can’t do any better for you guys, huh!?” Me: “No, in fact we were just talking about that.” left. I quickly dressed myself, struggling to maintain my composure. The police officers then proceeded to check the faucets (one of their new duties) and My question is this: what right does Campus Police have to intrude upon the private personal affairs of individuals? They must of been aware of situation since classes have employed the bathrooms for this purpose for years. They also made no stated claim to investigating it possible crime. This type of storm trooper behavior can only be construed as harassment. Since this incident occured in Hardman Library I can only conclude that the ever watchful police forces were on the lookout for “deviant”, forces within the University. Fellow students, this harassment directed toward gays, affects many of us, straight and gay. Just because this behavior isn’t directed to all sectors of the University is no reason to allow it to happen. In the future Campus Police should direct their zealousness to matters more deserving of their attention.

Stand To the Editor: . . firm on abortion An Open Letter to the Students at UB It appears that the combination of a slow news and the presence of a vocal and organized anti-choice movement in this area is laying the foundation for an attack on abortion rights at the University of Buffalo. The focus of this attack is the student health insurance program at UB and, in particular, the provision that recognizes abortion as a legitimate medical procedure available to students on an elective basis. Not only was Sub Board I correct in adding this coverage to the student insurance, it had an obligation to do so. Such coverage helps to guarantee that women students will have the right to reproductive and sexual freedom by allowing them to pursue their studies, and establish their careers, free from unplanned pregnancies and the possibility of enforced motherhood. To have done otherwise (such as offering an optional rider to the policy) would tend to defeat the very purpose of the coverage. After all, no one consciously sets out to have an abortion until they are face to face with the necessity of making that choice. A recent letter of the Courier-Express by a student made this very clear: “Before I was faced with the decision, I too was an active pro-life campaigner, never realizing that it could happen to me Granted, taking the risk of an unwanted prgnancy is foolish, but facts must be faced, and it does happen. I am not advocating abortion as a form of birth control, but as an alternative if pregnancy does occur I am not sorry about my decision. I day I noted with keen interest two articles that appeared in the September 11, 1978 issue of the on on page 11 entitled Buffalo Evening News “Policy Covers Abortion for UB Students” and the ... other, on page 13, concerning the play, “Semmelwiess.” Oh, how diverse the attitudes toward the principle involved LIFE! Ignaz Semmelwiess, an Hungarian physician and obstretrician during the mid 1800s, literally expended himself totally in his struggle to preserve the lives of mothers, infants, and the unborn by insisting on aseptic conditions which would eliminate fatal infection. Simply put, the only thing those treating the aforementioned had to do to prevent death was wash their hands in antiseptic solution before caring for their patients to be and untold numbers died as a result of aware their obtuseness! A mandatory fee to underwrite death for our most vulnerable, the unborn, has been imposed upon you. These tiny, fragile beings can’t, cry out for then right to live ... but you can. For them. Be aware of your power to preserve their freedom to exist. Don’t give tacit approval to death by not acting on your values that proclaim life and individual liberty to pursue life. Please, dear students at UB , let not the negative values concerning life be foisted upon you without giving vehementrebuttal! Of primary consideration, refuse to surrender the beautiful integrity of your unique human dignity for a moment of myopic, self-centered passion! Such actions are a tragic misuse of freedom ‘Liberty degenerated to license!’ Of equal importance is the reflection upon the fact that a mature person opts to accept responsibility for the consequences of one’s actions. Inform yourselves by experiential knowledge concerning the principle involved. Vital values considered abstractly offer facile rationalization. But, if you were to peer through the window of a hospital nursery, assuming a tour could be arranged, and view a tiny human being, or if you could be fortunate enough to hold an infant in your arms and sense the immense fragility and vulnerability of this precious bundle of life, so trusting, so in need of protect then truly, abstraction falls by the wayside in the realization of ultimate reality Be aware of the power you possess to protect LIFE! Help, each in your own way, to make this world a better one because YOU have been a part of it! Rise to the challenge! I know that you are capable of expending the effort to insist that the cherished values you espouse be known and upheld through positive, concrete action. Insist that you not have fees imposed upon you that mandate death, not life! 1 have such faith in you in your values in your maturity and so do the yet unborn. They desparately depend on you to uphold them! Please, don’t violate our trust in you! You’ve been given the gift of life. Use it well! Treasure itl share it with others! Have the courage to stand up and be counted! We need you! .... ... .. ... ... ... ... ... ... . . anti-choice advocates are making it appear. The provision compels no one to condone abortion. It merely provides the coverage necessary to guarantee that the choice is there for UB students. The policy also provides coverage for injuries received in car accidents, yet no one is complaining that the existence of such coverage forces them to condone accidents. It should come as no surprise that anti-choice advocates are making an issue out of the health insurance provision. They are part of a movement that is heavily funded by the heirarchy of the Catholic Church and increasingly under the political and oganizational sway of the far right wing in this country. What is starting to happen at UB has strong overtones of the Akron ordinance, which forces women to go to mandatory “informed consent” sessions. We hope that Sub Board 1 will not by swayed from its decision to provide abortion coverage in the student health insurance plan. Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse Buffalo Coalition for ... Abortion coverage and force To the Editor. The pro-abortion voice of Buffalo The Spectrum - has officially declared that Sub Board I Inc.’s inclusion of mandatory abortion coverage is an issue not worthy of controversy. In Friday’s editorial, “Logical Abortion Coverage”, the writer pronounces that “The sometimes fierce moral objections to abortion have been recognized, but rightly put aside in favor of the common sense and the pro-choice will of the vast majority.” Vast majority? To my knowledge no effort has been made to determine student opinion on this moral question. Surely the writer must be referring to that vast majority known as The Spectrum Editorial Board, The Spectrum interprets the absence of an outcry against mandatory abortion payments as conclusive evidence that Sub Board accurately gauged campus opinion when they decided to include abortion coverage (for the price of one dollar) in the student health insurance program. Who says a dollar can’t buy anything these days. Sub Board has found us a wonderful bargain. Jane Baum, Chairman SUub Board I writes in the Guest column of Friday’s The Spectrum: - • “The ‘controversial’ (note Ms. Baum’s ironic marks which reveal ehr condescending attitude towards those who object to Sub Board’s decision) abortion converage was included because it was the general feeling among board members that many students would benefit form this coverage . . The potential moral and religious concerns of some quotation . Joanne Ball I did the right thing and I can now understand why over one million women make the decision every year.” If Sub Board 1 erred at all, it is only in their failure to have provided a means to waive the coverage for those who are opposed to abortion for religious or personal moral reasons. This oversight, while it may indicate insensitivity on the part of Sub Board’s members, is hardly the threat to “morality” and “personal conscience” that a handful of believe To the Editor students were not ignored.” Since when are decisions which have moral inplications made on the basis of “general feeling”? Is this the same “common sense” hailed by The Spectrum ? And the moral and religious concerns of students who have such concerns, were indeed, ingnored. The Spectrum “encourages” those students “whose conscience is violated by the Sub Board policy” to seek their own coverage. It’s so nice to be “encouraged” to spend a ... hundred or extra dollars (other health plans are substantially more expensive than the one offered here). Why not make those who feel they need abortion insurance seek it elsewhere? The editorial continues: “We must remind the media .and those that would oppose the coverage that if one cannot afford an alternate insurance plan one is indeed being forced to finance abortions.

To the Anti-Sexism Committee, National Laywer’s Guild, Buffalo Law School Chapter: Please read George Orwell’s essay “Politics and the English Language.” He will teach you not to couch essentially violent actions inpretentious diction. I refer to your letter in which you dispassionately describe women who choose to kill their fetuses rather than to give birth as “women who choose to exercise their reproductive freedom by terminating therir pregnancy.” You sound like the generals who described 'Vietnam “pacification exercise”. as *Fancy transit' faults To the Editor. The Buffalo mass transit system has four major faults; 1. 2. 3. 4. - — - - it is above ground downtown. it is on a compromised right- of-way it does not reach the Amherst campus it is light rail and catenary The first is obvious, it will split the downtown in half (unless they’re silly enough to have streets crossing it) and will snarl traffic in the heart of the central business district. Putting it above ground in the densest area defeats the purpose of building it. The right of way is compromised, this is unheard of in a modem day transit system. The trains, actually trolley cats, will have to compete with cars. This is outrageous. The reasoning for this is that in order to get federal approval, which NFTA has gotten, the project had to be scaled down and one of the ways this was done is going to be by constructing it at street level downtown. Another result of the downscaling was the elimaination of the UB/Main S t r eet-UB/Amherst/ Audobon connection. UB-Amherst when complete will be the largest tripgenerator in the metropolitan area and one of the reasons for accepting Amherst as the site for the new campus was that the old and new campuses would be connected by rapid transit. The bus is a poor way of moving the SUNY Buffalo mass transit population. Light rail catenary systems are an untried and uproven technology in this country. This matters because American contractors have no experience with this type of system. One need only look at the an, San Fransico Bay area rapid transit system to get idea of the many problems and bugs Buffalo faces by being the first in the nation to use this technology. No doubt a tidy sum will have to be set aside for debugging the project once completed. Going light rail and catenary is bad for the following reasons; A. Light rail systems leave no room for expansion of capacity except by lengthening the trains. This would necessitate the lengthening of train stations as well, an expensive proposition. B. Catenary systems, that is to say trains which recieve their power from overhead lines, are unsightly and clumsy to say nothing of the danger of having live power lines dangling over Main Street. All in all, it is much less efficient and will require higher operating to use light rail, catenary technology over heavy rail, third rail (NYC subway type) technology. costs. Like the new campus could have been, this project is a chance to save downtown Buffalo. As presently designed it is short-sighted. Powers that be, stop for a minute and think. Would it not be better for the metropolitan area to find the extra money to put it above ground downtown. I know we have to take what the state and federal government will give us but think about fifty or one hundred years form now when people will still be riding it. If Buffalo and Erie County have to pay the extra cost then so be it. Cost too much? How much is the central business district’s future worth. Metrorail is like an education, it is an investment in tomorrow. We don’t need a fancy trolley, we need a subway.

Lockers outside the bookstore, costing a refundable 25 cents, are another option. However, many students dislike the hassle of locking up books which they feel they can easily carry around themselves. For textbook security, shopping on the ground floor is channeled through bookstore employees. “This is the bulk of our inventory,” commented Seitz. Previously, when the text books were not handled by employees, people would shoplift books, and then attempt to sell them back to the store, he remarked. Bookstore rip-offs properly. Penalties The majority of shoplifters are —Koenig IT ADDS UP; While most shoplifting done at the University Bookstore in Squire Hall, shown above, may be petty thefts of pens and pencils, the cost gets passed right on to the consumer in the form of higher prices.

There have been cases where posters were stuffed into pants and old t-shirts were removed and discarded in place of new ones. of shoplifting depends on a change in attitude, according to Manager of the Ellicott store Arlene Greenfield, who said she doesn’t want to have security and undercover police throughout the store. “We don’t want to hassle we don’t want to turn anybody anybody off,” Greenfield said. She stressed that the bookstore is for the students and they must take the initiative to stop one another. She believes that shoplifters must be made aware that they are hurting the rest of the student body through price — Seitz claimed that the penalties must be tightened in order to attain a decrease in theft. If a shoplifter is caught, he or she may be brought before the Student Judiciary, which will most likely revoke all bookstore privileges. However, this punishment is difficult to enforce. Seitz suggested that the problem might be lessened if the Student Judiciary imposed a fine and if media converage of the shoplifting problem were increased. Apathy More importantly, eradication rises. “One of the biggest problems is student claimed apathy,” Greenfield. She commented with regret that last year she put a Unicef box out on Halloween and one day it was gone. She felt that students must stop standing by, passively, and take action.

Similar fast food attacks have apparently hit hard this semester. The manager of Burger King at Main and Bailey estimates that at least 2000 student-aged people eat there each day. McDonald's at University Plaze reports that it serves some 700 students per day, less on weekends. Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips on Main Street feeds about 350 students daily. Whether inflated or deflated, the numbers tell us that fast foods are here to stay. According to Business Week magazine. Americans annually spend $14 billion at fast food spots. This figure represents only part of the money spent on the one out of every three meals Americans eat out. C rations McDonald's is the largest fast food chain in the U.S. today, having bumped Kentucky Fried Chicken which is now third. Burger King holds down second place. In 1965, 100 shares of McDonald's stock sold for $2,250. By the end of 1975, that investment, adjusted for splits and dividends, was worth $106,176. This year, McDonald's will probably open store number 5000. It has sold 25 billion hamburgers, and is selling a billion every three months. McDonald's has retailed enough milkshakes to fill every gas tank in America, according to Newsweek magazine. The American palate became accustomed to standardized fare, experts say, during World War II when food was provided through C rations and factory canteens. Canned, instant, and quick foods soon bacame a convenience, growing along with our increasingly rqpbile and fast-paced society. Photo! by Clyde Markowitz NEXT-DOOR-NEIGHBORS; The two huge franchises both get their share. ALWAYS HUNGRY: But can she finish a large Shake? Nutritionists view the growth of the fast foods industry and the public's tendency to bypass regular meals with alarm. A number of major nutritional studies done in recent years reveal that America's nutrition, and understanding of nutrition, is worsening. Evident are shifts in the amount of protein, fat, carbohydrate, minerals and vitamins now consumed by the average American. Overload A quick look at the chart on this page shows that the foods listed contain more grams of carbohydrate per serving than grams of protein or fat. While this in itself has not been shown harmful, a steady diet high in carbohydrates has been associated with heart disease and hardening of the arteries, according to Emanuel Lebanthal, Chief of Nutrition and Gastrointerology at Buffalo Children's Hospital. Too much fat in the diet, from deep-fried food, for example, has been connected with cancer, particularly that of the colon and intestines, he said. “In Western society, we also eat too much protein," noted Lebanthal. "Only one gram per kilo of body weight is actually needed; we eat three," he said. Anemia, obesity, osteoporosis, diseases of the bowel, and others are now known to be related to imbalances of nutrients in the diet. While Lebanthal informed that too much dietary fat and protein changes the body's metabolism, he stressed that many inter-relationships are involved in disease formation and said that it is difficult to draw definite conclusions. "Research in this area is needed badly," he commented. The rate at which fast foods are consumed, and the quantity, cause an overload on the digestive system, Lebanthal continued. Improper digestion occurs, which can lead to many gastro-intestinal problems. Chemicals and additives, present in most fast foods to improve appearance, only make matters worse. ARTHUR TREACHER'S; Fried shrimp and chicken are also on the menu, Sweet tooth The Greeks stressed moderation in all things, and fast food seems to be no exception to this rule of thumb. "There's really nothing wrong with a fast food hamburger," informed Mildred Derme, UB Dietician for Food and Vending Services. "It's high in protein and full of nutrition." The danger comes, she said, when people limit their diets to fast foods and forget about dairy products and raw foods, like milk, vegetables and fruits. "Fast food is too high in calories and carbohydrates," Derme explained. "Buns and potatoes don’t satisfy you for long because carbohydrates pass through the system quickly and are not stored. The body is always saying 'i'm hungry.' Too bad it can't tell you it's hungry for good food.

Millersport is the main route between the Amherst and Main Street campuses. According to Vice President for Facilities Planfling John Neal, the closing of Frontier Road Will not occur until the Audobon Parkway Bridge is completed. The bridge will connect the University section of the John James Audobon Parkway to the Audobon community’s section on the other side of ElHcott Creek. General Manager of the Audobon New Community Joseph Lynch said, “This will be at the end of 1980.” Instead of using Frontier Road, students will have to use the formerly Audobon Parkway North Campus Boulevard or other campus roads that hook up with Maple Road. When the Audobon Parkway Bridge is completed, it will provide quick access to Millersport Highway. — 'U S suMnmt ™t*< price. - Address City TI-57 SERIAL NUMBER Texas Instruments (from back of calculator) Please allow 30 days tor delivery.

As an alternative, Gopstein has directed his efforts towards urging the University administration to help manage the project and allocate necessary funding.

As such, SCATE provided students with a in guide courses, professors scheduling could evaluate themselves, and it served as a tool for administration officials in judging the quality of faculty. No money, manpower “We will be lucky if we hgve it next semester,” said SA Director of Academic Affairs Sheldon Gopstein. Last spring Gopstein, who campaigned to bring SCATE back, submitted a budget request to the SA Finance Committee for $17,000 to fund a SCATE program. According to Gopstein, “The request was denied because it was questionable who would more seriously by both students and faculty. “With this official sanction,” he said, “the past problem cooperation of will departmental hopefully be eliminated.” Newly appointed Dean of Undergraduate Studies John Peradotto emphasized that an exclusively administration operated SCATE is not the best alternative.

The recent upsurge in landscaping, due to an increase in funds, should not only help the campus look better but also provide a wind break. Above, trees are being planted on access roads. The Ellicott Complex is in the background. Funds available for Amherst landscaping The once barren Amherst Campus- is slowly being greened. Though Amherst construction has been extremely limited over the past few years, evert less attention has been paid to landscaping. Vice President of Facilities Planning John Neal said the recent surge in landscaping is due to a “loosing of funds.’ 1 Neal explained the landscaping was not started when construction began because a certain stage of building must be reached before planting is possible. A few years ago, when some areas were ready to be planted, funds for landscaping dried up. Only recently have the Federal funds become available for landscaping the fields and windswept walkways at Amherst. Washington allots money for these projects directly to the State governors, who in turn allocate them to the SUNY schools. Could the money be put to better use? “The State mandates where the money is to be spent,” Neal said, “It’s not possible to use it for other — TUCK AWAY A LITTLE TWO FINGERS. The Two Fingers T-shirt. Only *1.95 purposes.” Neal maintained he could not pinpoint how much has been spent on landscaping. part of which money is directed towards landscaping. Some contractors sub-contract the further job, landscaping concealing exactly how much is being spent. The landscaping has been contracted to local Buffalo businesses. The Four Winds Nursery, located on Millersport Highway, has handled a large portion of the landscaping to date. A spokesman for the Nursery said they are presently working at the courtyards near O’Brian Hall on the Amherst Campus. Ground covers and being shrubs are rooted. Elsewhere, a variety of deciduous, evergreen, and flowering trees have been planted, mostly along the access roads. Neal explained the biggest problem is the wind. “Wind breaks may be planted later on,” said, “as construction he is but it progresses, hoped that the now the roads lining trees young will provide a wind break as they grow.” -Carole Amos Next time you’re tucking away the smooth, passionate taste of Two Fingers Tequila, you can dress the part.

Rich Cappuleze capped the scoring for Niagara as he beat Preston with about one minute remaining to play. Bulls coach Sal Esposito was disappointed after the onesided affair. “1 thought the team was ready after beating the University of Rochester last week in a scrimmage,” he said, “but 1 found out it wasn’t.” He admitted the team played poorly but did not take credit away from the superb Niagara eleven. Espositio said that the Bulls primary weakness is in passing and in the midfield. Bruce Gallup Niagara Falls N.Y. hampered by an ineffective offense, the UB soccer team fell 5-0 Wednesday to Niagara University’s rapid fire. UB and appeared sluggish inexperienced with only three last starters remaining from seasons 6-7-1 squad; forwards Luis Azcue and George Daddario and goaltcnder Mark Celeste. Niagara controlled the tempo from the outset. Early in the match Celeste tried to keep Buffalo in the game but received no help from his teammates. With virtually all the action in the Bulls end, it was only a matter of time till Niagara jumped ahead. Joey McGee scored the first Niagara goal, off a pass from Barry Shannon. McGee beat Celeste from thirty feet out on the right side of the net. Ten minutes into the game, the disorganized Bulls finally managed a shot on goal. Niagara was constantly beating the UB team to the ball and was able to prevent them from following up on any of their plays. Jeff Stolzenberg put the Purple Eagles in from 2—0 midway through the first half with a forty foot shot past an outstretched Celeste. The Bulls defense continued to let Niagara roam freely around the UB zone. Shannon, who tallied a goal and two assists in the game, converted a Tom DiNunzio pass past a helpless Celeste. The goal came with only twenty seconds remaining in the first half and gave Niagara a 3—0 edge. Niagara goalie Lee Galucki barely had to show up in the first half, as he was forced to stop only one shot. — Men’s tennis team dominates Niagara U in 9—0 triumph the UB men’s tennis team turned in a superlative effort Thursday, destroying Niagara University 9-0 to improve their seasonal record to 2—0, Demonstrative of the UB dominance was the fact that of the nine wins only three in straight sets. The team is looking toward to their next match Monday. “We feel we can beat Rochester,” stated coach Tom LaPenna, of a team UB has yet to beat in the last nine years. Niagara Falls, N.Y. — The teams top three players all won simple, quick matches which were neither competitive nor exciting. Sophmore sensation Tod Miller’s opening 6—0,6—1 win set the tone for the match. Miller, with solid, steady groundstrokes seemed to be almost toying with his opponent, as his higher quality of play was evident at all times. Number two man Ray LePort’s match was similar to Miller’s as the big freshman’s 6—3, 6—0 scores attest. Ted Baughn, playing number three, had little difficulty outclassing his opponent. Baughn played consistently, committing unforced errors in his 6-2, 6-1 win UB dominance The other three single matches UB won, but not with the same authority as the first three. Bill Kaiser won his match 6—2, 6—4, but endured second set difficulty and Was forced to come from behind to win. Both Jon Schneps Bob were Ellenbogen and extended to three sets by their opponents. Schneps overcame an error filled second set, and went on to win 6—1, 4—6, 6—1. Ellenbogen, with a determined come from behind win in sixth singles, 5—7,6—2,6—2 completed the singles sweep. UB’s doubles was play all three winning impressive in matches, as was the case last week in Oneonta. Last Saturday, UB was actually down 3—1 with an Oneonta a distinct upset possibility. But after the singles was evened at 3—3 UB’s doubles team amply took over and blew Oneonta away, winning 6—3. All eyes are focused on Rochester this Monday, where the quality of UB’s play will be put to the test. Coach LaPenna and his players want this win badly, after all, nine years is a long time.

By the middle of the second period, the Bulls’ front line, in particular Larry Rothman and Shane Currey had all but closed off Carroll’s attack. Niec was still picking up yardage and the mobile DuBroy repeatedly found tricky receiver Keith Coljohn for plus yardage in the statistics, but Carroll just never mounted a threat. At first they hurt themselves with clipping infractions and assorted other penalties, but after awhile Buffalo Condemned eyesore Decay takes its toll on stadium stands The stadium is desolate. It is a few hours before game time. Soon the stadium will be covered with competitors and filled with spectators. The stadium, almost alive, waits to be thrown into an electric state of excitement. For a small portion of the day, the stadium will be the center of the world for thousands of people Unfortunately, this is not the case for UB’s Rotary Field. UB’s fan support is at a minimum, and there is little “excitement” to speak about. The biggest problem which makes Rotary an eyesore is the West end stands. These bleachers were recently condemned by Albany as being “unsafe for public use”. They haven’t been in use since 1970, the last year UB had a complete football season. Now that the Bulls will again play a full schedule the question is whether the West end bleachers will be needed. Without a doubt, an attempt to renovate the stands would be futile. The metal is rusting away, the weight distribution is off, and the wood has been destroyed by the weather. A request of several hundred thousand dollars for new stands has been made to Albany, said UB’s Director of Environmental Health Robert Hunt. Hunt and his associates have been working with Albany to decide exactly what should be done ... — - Too extravagant Director of Men’s Athletics Ed Muto estimated revovations of the West end stands to exceed $300,000. Muto and head football coach BUI Dando agreed that any funds of that size would be better spent on such things as astro-turf and lights for the field. Three teams currently share Rotary Rield: football, soccer and field hockey. As it stands there are 8,000 seats in the East end. A recently considered possibility is to move a section of those stands to the West end of the field. Of prime consideration in making the decision is whether 12,000 seats will be needed. In the 60’s, UB football support was great. “I can remember the stands being pretty well filled,” said Hunt. But in 1970 UB dropped Varsity Football because of lack of funds. Because this is the first full season in years, there is much hope for increased fan support. “If we can get people from the Student Association (SA) to work on it, 1 have a lot of faith that student support will come, said Hunt. Hunt added, “Within the next five years we’ll need those stands.” Rotary Field has been wounded severely. With the sports department. Environmental Health, and Albany working together, the wounds may be repaired. But whether or not the stadium lives or dies will eventually be decided by the students. • FredSatlouni — their offense man to we got hit last week,” said Niec in reference to JCU’s game vs. Capital, “The UB defense came up with a great team effort.” stood up man. “They hit harder than BUFFALO'S BRICK LINE: Linebacker Shane Curray breaks through John Carroll's offensive line to bring down quarterback John Dubroy. Currey had tan tackles, leading a very impressive UB defense. Tackle Larry Rothman (79) looks on. The 'Buffalo Brickline Defense’ In the fourth quarter, JCU ran fullback Phil Lopez right at Rothman and Randy Retzlaff on a fourth and three inches attempt, and the Buffalo Brickline Defense was born. Lopez hit the line at full speed and met the full potential of the Buffalo front and was held for no gain and no - first down. Speedster Gary Quatrani, who probably should see the ball more on offense, displayed his raw talent on a kickoff following a JCU field goal by Tyler Ham. Taking a kick-off deep in'his own zone, Quatrini exploded through the wedge without being touched and began to race Ham for the end zone. A split second of hesitation by Quatrini gave Ham the edge and the 9.3 speedster was brought down after a 78 yard return. Running back Gabryel broke Dando’s conservative offensive game plan by taking a pitchout from Rodriguez, faking the run and throwing to split end Frank Price over the goal line for a four yard scoring play. “We’ve worked on it for a couple of weeks,” said Gabryel grinning. Going for two instead of one on the point after, the Bulls failed when underthrew Rodriguez Kevin Led Lafferty. by the gun-like arm of Rodriguez, the Buffalo offense pulled out all the stops in a late drive.

Price caught the latter pass at about the 20, dodged one defender on the sideline and raced for paydirt with just over three minutes remaining. For thirty seconds it finally appeared to have happened. Since 1971, Buffalo had not won a football game, but now the players rolled around . in -the end-zone, and fans were beside themselves. Before the score could even register on the board, the referee was signaling for the hall on the fifteen yard line.

The BFDA has requested that the State Department of Environmental Conservation make it a “part of interest” to an application that NFTA must file for a permit In order to discharge the sulphur water into the creek. The other problem concerns the three local utilities; New York Telephone, National Fuel Gas and Niagara Mohawk. All three met last Wednesday with the federal Urban Mass Transit Administration (UMTA) because of moving utility lines during the rail project. NFTA’s position is that legal precedents make private utilities liable for the cost of relocation their lines along public rights of way. The utilities are not too thrilled by the idea, which could cost almost $50 million. No one in NFTA feels that either matter will delay groundbreaking, presently scheduled for December, at what is now the Abbott parking lot on the Main Street Campus. The LRRT system is projected to be open for service in May 1984. It will be the first new, completely, all-light rail transit line to be built In the United States.

First, he called for the recruitment of a “first rate dean.” More significantly, Spitzberg said that the Colleges will have to depend on the “future attitude of leadership at the University.” Both Spitzberg and Welch were pleased with the Review Committee’s Report and saw it as a card in the Colleges’ favor. Welch termed the document a “rosy and carefully researched visitors’ assessment of the Colleges that gives us great pride in the accomplishments of the system.” He said it should further convince the administration that it was justified in instituting the Colleges system here. Welch hoped the Report will enhance the Colleges’ status, making them a more important part of the University. He was especially pleased with the Committee’s approval of the Colleges’ chartering process, which it found to be unique among American universities.

Administration officials informed the company of the State law, passed by the SUNY Board of Trustees in 1973, which prohibits commercial enterprises from operating on State University campuses. The sequence of events which led to the Evelyn Wood course being offered on campus apparently began when Student Association (SA) Director of Student Affairs and Activities Task Force Barry Rubin was contacted by the company this summer. The company asked for permission to hold both introductory mini-lessons (free) and follow-up classroom instruction (paid) on campus. No deposits At this point, the legality of charging a fee or taking deposits on campus was questioned. According to Rubin, SA Acting Director of Academic Affairs Mark Goergen was directed to investigate the legal issue. *‘I was only told that a fee could not be charged for the instruction,” said Goergen. “I was not told that deposits could not be collected at the mini-lesson.” ■, However, Division Director of Squire-Amhejst Alan Clifford, who is responsible for investigating any group using campus facilities, countered Goergen’s statement. “I told him, specifically, no money may change hands for personal profit. I further said that no deposit or money of any kind may be collected on University property.” On August 14, Goergen informed the Evelyn Wood firm that they could conduct the free mini-lesSons on campus but that formal paid instruction was prohibited. Abe Kamzan, Director of Group Operations for Evelyn Wood, began to formulate plans for the UB area classes. These plans called for six days of mini-lessons on September 11 16: three days at Squire Hall followed by two at Capen and one at Porter Quad. Kamzan said that the follow-up instruction would be held at an area motel. council student representatives, according Associate SUNY Counsel Lonnie Clar. by Jay Rosen Editor-in-Chief Copyright 1978, The Spectrum Strong circumstantial evidence has been uncovered by The Spectrum suggesting that covert preparations were made last May to prevent the student representative to the UB College Council from making or seconding motions during a special Council meeting called to discuss allegations against University President Robert L. Ketter. An outdated 1976 opinion from State Attorney J. Lefkowitz questioning the right of a non-voting member (such as the student rep) to make and second motions was sent to College Council Chairman Robert Millonzi by the University’s attorney, Hilary P. Bradford, on May 10, 1978 two days after the Council had voted to hold a special June meeting to discuss alleged disenchantment with Ketter. 14, 1976 opinion pertained The June specifically to the non-voting student member of the SUNY Board of Trustees but had been extended at some SUNY units to the motioning rights of college Genera] Louis — to One year later Clar confirmed that the State Legislature ammended the State Education Law on May 24, 1977 specifically to uphold student representatives’ right to make and second motions. Section 356.1 of the law states that non-voting memers: “Shall be afforded the same parliamentary privileges as are conferred upon voting members, including, but not limited to the right to make and second motions.” Thus, on May 10, 1978, almost a year after the legislature protected the student rep’s motioning rights, the University attorney sent a nearly two-year-old memo questioning those rights to Millonzi with the implication that if may apply to the Council’s student representative, Cynthia Whiting. Two days before, at the Council’s regular May 8 meeting (the last of the academic year) official minutes show that Whiting had motioned for a special committee of University community members to be created to review charges against Ketter. - —continued on page 20— — Well attended In an effort to promote the mini-lessons on campus, the speed-reading firm distributed 35,000 flyers on the Main Street and Amherst campuses. Aditionally, the firm bought advertising on local radio and television stations, and in The Spectrum. On Monday, the first mini-lesson was held in Squire Hall, after which Kamzan, who taught the lesson, took deposits for further instruction. Director of Squire Hall Orbert Henderson, who first learned of the Evelyn Wood course from the ad in Monday’s The Spectrum, decided that Kamzan could continue the free lessons to avoid disappointing students. However, after attending a lesson on Wednesday where he witnessed the handling of deposit money, Henderson informed Kamzan that Evelyn Wood’s reservation for the next three days at the Amherst Campus were cancelled. About 500 students had attended the first three days of mini-lessons, according to Kamzan. Ten percent of them had put down deposits for further lessons, he said —continued on page 20— The moonscape Grover Cleveland will be repaired next year by Daniel S.

Any student who walked into Norton Hall Wednesday probably saw him. Krason believes that the student service corporation, Sub Board I, Inc.'s, decision to include a $1 charge in the mandatory Student Health Fee specifically for abortion coverage, is a violation of the rights of conscience for UB students. Although abortion versus the right to life has been a hotly debated issue, for quite some time, Krason said, “1 am not affiliated with anybody” and this is not an abortion verses anti-abortion issue, but a student rights issue.” Krason believes it was inappropriate for Sub Board to make a decision on this issue when there were not many students on campus to lend imput. Krason, who claims that outside insurance plans are not viable alternative because of their added expenses said, “Sub Board made a decision that did not take into account the fact that many students on campus may have moral and or religious objections to abortion. By having abortion included in the Mandatory Student Health Policy, these students are put in a position where they are going to have to sacrifice their moral principles.” Krason has been sitting at a table in Norton to give students “an opportunity to be on record as disagreeing with the decision made.” His petition of griefs, will eventually be submitted to Sub Board. Krason, who believes that he should do more than publish a letter in The Spectrum September 1, remarked, “I realize the decision probably won’t be changed.” According to Chairman of Sub Board Jane Baum, the decision to include abortion coverage in this year’s insurance policy was made during the summer because the policy had to be decided upon by August 30. “All students are covered from the first day of school until they waive," Baum said. In order for students to be covered by insurance, she explained the policy had to be settled before school opened. “The insurance policy is tailored to meet the needs of the students of this University,” said Baum. She claims that students who are morally or religiously opposed to the abortion coverage in the insurance policy have laternatives. “It is mandatory that students have health insurance, not that they have University Health Insurance,” noted Baum. In making the policy decision, members of the Board of Directors of Sub Board contacted the Student Association (SA) Executive Committee, the Sexuality Education Center, and Director of University Health Service, M.

Ketter allocates time for meetings with students Windfalling finances forSA by David Levy Managing Editor Increased Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) student enrollment for this fall semester may mean a financial windfall for the undergraduate Student Association (SA) when the $70 student mandatory fees start pouring in. SA prepared its 1978—79 fiscal budget under the assumption that only 12,350 students would be paying the new $70 fee. The fee, which is collected by the Bursar’s Office and then disbursed to SA, was raised from $67 last March in a student-wide referendum. The motion to raise the fee $3 passed soundly 1708 to 1236. As of last Tuesday, Director of Admissions and Records (A&R) Richard Dremuk reported that 13,206 DUE students had registered and received schedule cards. Furthermore, Dremuk said that he expected by Friday, the end of initial registration, 13,600 students to enroll at the undergraduate level. — The distinction is important to SA since part-time students pay only $3 per credit hour, rather than the full mandatory fee of $70, which full-time students are assessed, A student is considered part-time if he is taking eight credit hours or less. So, though SA tnay have a budget windfall, its magnitude will remain uncertain until final enrollment figures are obtained from A&R sometime in October. The second problem is an unknown Variable the second semester attrition rate. SA ran into severe budget problems last srping when hundreds of students quit school. The resulting drop in revenue forced SA to make cuts in allocations to Sub Board I, Inc. and the Athletics program. In March 1977, the SA budget under the prepared was assumption that 13,000 DUE students would enroll at this Last February, University. enrollment stood at only 11,783, a difference of over 1300 between expected and actual enrollment. The 1300 students represented close to $90,000 in revenue that never materialized. - Unknown variable The problem preventing SA from making any plans for What to do spending a budget windfall is In order to prevent a repeat of twofold. First, A&R is unable to the SA budget shortfall, ascertain, at present, how many of 13,600 DUE conservatively estimated this fall’s the estimated students will be part-time as enrollment at only 12,350. This conflicted with a opposed to full-time. figure confidential report prepared by A&R for President Ketter, in which enrollment was projected at over 13,000. However, as he was preparing the budget, SA treasurer Fred Wawrzonek said that he would “rather have a budget windfall than a repeat of this year’s shortfall.” Wawrzonek, and SA, may indeed have that windfall. On the basis of a $70 mandatory student fee, if only half of the 1300 students not included in SA’s original enrollment projection eventually pay the fee. then SA will realize about an additional $43,750 in revenue. Or, if all of the unforeseen students are part-time and taking eight credit-hours, then SA can expect to receive about $30,000 in new revenue. Once the money is received and all outstanding bills are paid, SA must face the problem of where to allocate the new funds. According to the SA Constitution, any changes to be made in the budget have to be decided upon by the Finance Committee. According to Wawrzonek, the Finance Committee will not be able to meet until the beginning of October since representatives to the three SA Task Forces Academic, Student Affairs, and will not be Student Activities elected until then. The Finance Committee is composed of three Senators from each Task Force, and Wawrzonek. SA President Richard Mott said that he is making no plans to spehd any budget windfall. Because of the ftfebility to pinpoint exactly how much money would become available, Mott said he is waiting for some “concrete student enrollment figures” from A&R before going ahead with spending plans. Nevertheless, he said that any new revenue would more than likely be used for student programming, such as beer blasts and concerts. Mott also said that any organizations who asked for part of the new revenue would have their requests closely scrutinized. “First, the organization would have to justify why the money they have been allocated in the present budget is not sufficient,” said Mott. He believed that any additional money would be allotted “only under unusual circumstances.” - DEADLINE NEARS! — 1980 Fulbright-Hays QUALIFICATIONS ARE: U.S. Citizen with a B.A. degree (or its equivalent before the beginning date of grant.

Carey won Tuesday’s Democratic gubernatorial nomination, defeating Lieutenant Governor Mary Anne Krupsak and State Senator Jeremiah B. Bloom, and assuring a lively campaign fight between Carey and Republican-Conservative Perry B. Duryea. Statewide, Carey took 52 percent of the vote. Krupsak carried 35 percent, leaving 14 percent to Bloom. The governor won distinct pluralities in four of the eight Western New York counties; Niagara, Orleans, Chautauqua and Cattaraugus. Carey also took Gennesee and Erie Counties but by very narrow margins; winning by only 84 votes in Erie County and by less than 10 votes in Gennesee. Krupsak won in Wyoming and Alleghany counties. Duryea was delighted by the results, noting that 48 percent of the Democratic party had not voted for its own incumbent candidate. Duryea, whose entire Republican ticket went unchallenged through the primary, felt that this showed a clear lack of support for Carey because of his record as governor. In particular, he observed that Carey had only barely defeated Krupsak in Erie County, despite the fact that he had been endorsed by both County Democratic Chairman Joseph Crangle and Buffalo Mayor James D. Griffin. - ’79-’80 FULBRIGHT Deadline for submission for 1979 Competition is OCTOBER 1,1978. In an effort to clear his administration of charges of being inaccessible to students. University President Robert L. Ketter announced this summer that he would hold office hours. The first session of open office hours, when students can meet with Ketter for discussion, will be held Thursday, September 14, from 1 to 3 p.m. Students can schedule an appointment with the President by calling 636-2901. Sessions will be held bi-weekly. Crangle retained Bronx Borough President Robert Abrams trampled Dolores Denman of Buffalo by a three to one margin ip the race for the Democratic candidacy for state attorney general.. Denman carried Western New York counties by an average margin oOCftb 30,percent; not enough to counteract the heavy Abrams vme in downstate districts. ,)c riT'Kj The primary restd results will give this year’s Democratic ticket four candidates from the New York City area, possibly hurting the party’s electoral chances in the upstate areas. The Republicans, on the other hand, will have Erie County Executive Edward Reagan as their candidate for state comptroller, a fact which Reagan and Duryea will probably exploit to the fullest during the election campaign. On a more local level, Crangle seems to have retained is Democratic chairmanship, countering an effort by Griffin to have him replaced when the Democratic County Committee meets in 20 days to vote for a trew chairman. Two committeemen are elected to represent each of the 1066 election districts in Erie County but candidates in 746 of the districts were unopposed and most of them are Crangle supporters. In the remaining districts, Griffin supporters won only about 100 of the committee positions. ; Nepotism It is widely held that Griffin lost his attempt to unseat Crangle because of the mayor’s practice of putting many of his family members on the city payroll. He has also been accused of systematically excluding Italians, Poles, Blacks and other ethnic groups from key positions in his administration and favoring the Irish. Apparently the voters find Griffin a much less favorable candidate than a year ago when Griffin’s charges of political bossism against Crangle won him the mayoral election. In the Democratic race for the UB-area Assembly seat (144th district), incumbent William B. Hoyt soundly beat Samuel F. Iraci Jr, by a margin of 774 votes, despite Griffin’s heavy support of Iraci.

Why would the chairman of the College Council, himself a lawyer, not check on the validity of the memo? Or present it to the Council until four months later? Or neglect to mention Monday that it came from the University attorney? And where the hell has this memo been since it was written oh June 14, 1976? And why if everything is above board would Hilary Bradford, the University's attorney, attempt to trap The Spectrum into thinking a perfectly legitimate interview was off the record? We need an investigation and we need it immediately. Since the Council and the Administration are both involved, only SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton can see that these grave questions are answered. We will wait, impatiently. S> — — Logical abortion coverage The inability of the Buffale area media to ignite the coals of controversy about Sub Board I, Inc.'s abortion coverage shows that the corporation’s board of directors accurately gauged campus opinion when deciding to include the coverage in this year's health insurance policy. The abortion provision, which adds only a dollar to the policy's should be standard fare for any comprehensive health plan especially at a large, public university. The sometimes fierce moral objections to abortion have been recognized, but rightly put aside in favor of common sense and the "pro-choice" will of the vast majority. We must remind the media and those that would oppose the coverage that no one is being forced here. Those whose conscience is violated by the Sub Board policy are free to seek their own coverage; and we encourage them to do so. Sub Board officials have acted wisely in adopting the coverage and have remained calm despite attempts to inflame the issue. And if there is iny "story" here in the abortion coverage, it is a tale of logic and reason within our student body. premium, — Collective thrills If there is one thing that this student body truly needs it's a little heart pounding togetherness, some shared excitement, a collective thrill. This weekend provides ideal opportunities for all the factions within us to congregate for the purposes Of having a good time. Yes, we are a confused conglomerate of hometowns, religions, interests, and prejudices but we share our youth, we share our University and today and tomorrow we can all share autumn in Buffalo. Fallfest today. Football tomorrow. Then Fallfest again. Let's turn out for some fun and introduce ourselves. It's just gotta help. Health insurance explained Free abortions at UB7 Film at eleven! The attention that the local media has drawn to this year’s Student Health Insurance policy at UB has been their only positive contribution in the midst of this highly destructive excursion into yellow journalism. One student interviewed this week on Eyewitness News, when asked to comment on the abortion coverage, complained that her dissatisfaction with the present policy was irrelevant since it is impossible to change anything “around here.” Hopefully, her statement will serve to both explain this year’s Health Insurance policy (which includes abortion coverage) and assure the students at this University that their input and feedback is not only solicited but crucial to those running the show. The concept of Mandatory (with waiver) Student Health Insurance is undeniably difficult to swallow. Two years ago this three-year pilot program was launched at the request of student leaders, with the approval of this University’s administration as well as the go ahead from the SUNY Board of Trustees. This year when the Sub Board One, Inc. Board of Directors deliberated on the advisibility of continuing as policy holder for the third year of the program, they initially concluded that they were philosophically the opposed to concept of mandatory health insurance. After reconsideration in light of issues they had previously failed to weigh, it was decided to carefully enter the third year of the program. For me personally, the decisive factor was the highly undesirable alternative with weakly participated and highly priced) health insurance of a return to the situation three years ago when a large portion of area doctors often refused to treat UB students, even in emergency situations because of their chronic inability to pay bills. This third year of the program is most important becausyits success or failure, judged by student satisfaction, will determine the future of health insurance here. Once the decision waS made to continue the coverage Sub Board attempted to improve the policy and tailor it to closely suit student needs. The “Gap-in-Coverage” dilemma that had created financial hardships for certain students caught between insurance companies was solved. Blanket — - Accident Benefits were included and the Ambulance Expense coverage was increased. Out-Patient Expenses were increased to $100 and now include Emergency Room coverage for sickness. Room and board was increased to $75 per day and this year, payment for the first visit to a private physician will ; Concern when referred by University Health Services. In an effort to ease the claim filing process, all Pharmacy and Lab bills will be paid from a fund established from $5 off the top of every policy. Administrative costs were also included in the policy to enable the plan to be more effectively coordinated. Abortion coverage, with a $ 1 50 ceiling, was also included after lengthy discussion. Because the program was refined and approved during the relatively barren summer months, input from students was limited to a survey which had been taken, and to those elected student representatives who were here. The “controversial” abortion coverage was included because it was the general feeling among board members that many students would benefit from this coverage not always in actual use but be possible by Jane Baum I. Inc. Chairman, Sub Board — - in potential risk. The potential moral and religious concerns of some students were not ignored. Rather, after a careful weighing of the situation, we felt that the alternative for such students would be to buy an alternate policy. It is important to remember that it is not this specific policy that is mandatory for UB students, but rather some health insurance coverage. Decisive when attempting to ( weigh student opinion was our knowledge that a similar abortion coverage had been included two years ago without any adverse student reaction. The following year it had been removed due to greatly increased costs, but this year was abailable for an extremely low price of one dollar per policy. At its present cost of $73.50 we now feel that we have combined the best possible coverages for this year’s health insurance package. My intent in explaining these decisions and in detailing the overall policy changes is to make available the facts for you to evaluate. While the policy for this year is set and because of the nature of insurance inflexible the situation for next year is totally open. Before any decisions will be made for next year, student input will be actively solicited. Any and all criticism is greatly needed by those who must plan for next year. Finally, this year’s policy can only work if everyone takes an active role. There is a Health Insurance Office in room D213 Michael Hall, with a full time Insurance Administrator available to deal with all Insurance questions and problems. Make sure you fully understand the, waiver process. In order to fully benefit from this policy, a thorough understanding is essential. Please do not hestitate to call Ilene Reichman at 831-2019 with specific Insurance questions.

On class size, faculty: English Dept. responds by Gale Carrithers As a current graduate from the school of management, I feel that it is an appropriate time to express some of my feelings towards the department. Firstly, let me say something about the professors and graduate students maybe Indian 101 should be a prerequisite! Come on people aren’t we turning - out enough Ph.D.s from out neighborhood? And cheating maybe if we were taught something which is halfway interesting and relevant about courses which require frequent critiques,” which turns into Alutto’s general term “upper level Chairman, t'nglish Department My colleague Dean Alutto offers The Spectrum readers of September 11 “another perspective a different framework.” How different? How inviting? Well, not altogether different: like any of us responsible for a department or school he wants to see his program helped to work well good people engrossed in powerful teaching and research, which are the equal obligations of faculty members at a university center. At#east I think those are the human implications of his oddly abstractive and disjunctive phrase “to provide the highest quality of our programs.” We in English, as do colleagues in many core disciplines, like for our teaching and reasearch to be joined, not split, so we can teach partly by the example of excited learning. And we all want a strong supportive context for out programs, yes, a “symbiotic” relationship. ... - But beyond that. Dean Alutto’s framework seems less stable, or maybe his perspective obscures points amid fumbled metaphors. English, like other Arts and Letters units, has suffered worse than “a little judicious pruning” yet “regrowth” is exactly what is restricted. In my colleague Dean Alutto’s framework, question-begging sometimes passes for argument: “the orderly development of . professional schools,” “maintaining the major strengths of this institution in the Arts and Sciences.” Is it? Do they? We think “orderly development” here entails resources from outside, not from us. No university in seven hundred years has improved by savaging its core disciplines. .,. In his perspective, basic distinctions get lost. As when Ms. Cacavas accurately reported my argument for upper level English courses (for composition training) as “referring specifically to literature To the Editor was with some chagrin that 1 read in Monday’s issue of The Spectrum that, as Associate Director of Undergraduate English Studies, I had stated that the current confusion over composition courses was simply a matter of “short-term panic” which could be completely resolved by a year of planning. My chagrin does not derive from the fact that I am not now nor have I ever been an Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies in the English Department. Nor am I unduly troubled by the fact that my words were so far removed from their original context as to constitute a thorough misrepresentation of my ideas on the matter. I am disturbed, rather, that the debate on composition courses has taken so bitter a turn as to allow the short-term difficulties to obscure larger and more fundamental issues. There is undeniably a short-term problem: the staffing of enough sections of composition necessary to the immediate needs of our undergraduates. This short-term problem clearly evoked other urgent questions; Are enough resources being allocated to the English Department to allow it to staff composition courses without impairing its other programs? Do more advanced English courses provide suitable substitutes for composition courses? However one answers these questions, any answers will be incomplete until the larger, and to my mind, more fundamental issues are .elucidated. Those who prescribe English composition as a panacea for all the writing ills of our students should reassess their diagnosis. What we in fact must require of all of out students is an ability to write coherently and effectively. But what does such an ability imply? naturally writing presupposes Effective grammatically correct sentence structure. It also, ' however, requires a firm grasp of the basic logic and philosophical concepts necessary to organize thought and discourse. • Effective writing requires a broad experience of language to heighten sensitivity to the — to real life, we wouldn’t want or have to cheat! You would think that we were all going to get top positions in IBM Well Sweethearts - dream about it! To the big names in the department this is directed at you maybe some more attention should be directed towards the student (undergraduate). As an example a student who had a conflict with his work schedule attempted to take a night class. When flatly turned down as work wasn’t an acceptable excuse (then what is?), he w.as told to go tev the day class twice a week and let someone else take notes for him the third day. Well, if that’s what UB is turning into, I’m glad I’m out! UB has prepared me for that impersonal real life that I am entering for that 1 say thank you. I also say thank you for that piece of paper.

And to the present and future students of the School of Management Good Luck! courses" and my (or someone’s) "frantic assertations.” Or “functional equivalent" for learning writing turns into equivalency for teaching purposes. Or the distinction between “assigning senior faculty" and senior faculty volunteering gets twisted to “categorical position against” and lost in innuendo masquerading as logic: "if . . faculty are incapable of teaching composition, then those courses should no longer be offered,” etc. Or the distinction between 25 or 22 or 20 students per section, or the distinction between past time when we raised section size from 18 to 22, because we burn to teach students the writing/reading/thinking we know instead W turning them away, and the present year when we hoped to drop the limit to 20 because we know the chances are thereby better for doing a thorough job. Many English Department faculty members including senior professors and former chairmen (and I) have been devoting teaching and research effort to the writing problems of this generation of students and programs for them. We’ll accommodate maybe all most of the additional 500 students by the end of this year. In our framework, where we try to deal in humane responses (leaving feedback to thermostats), we need evidence to take corrective action if some teacher is failing the responsibility to provide intelligent response to a student’s writing. Those who argue (as I do not) that “it is illogical to have a $30,000/year professor teach an introductory course” do so not from any supposition that beginners are less important than adept but rather from the belief that the professor should to a considerable extent do that special thing which only she or he can do, “that certain talent which is death to hide.” In our perspective, we don’t see assignments or students or faculty as interchangeable or replicable bits or mechanistic parts, Join us. — - - , - - — - - — — Name Witheld WeJJ dressed semantic and cultural nuances that underline effective communication.

Familiarity with psychology stimulates self-awareness as well as an appreciation of how messages are received and perceived. An understanding of mathematics and the sciences is fundamentally important to our ability to reason, communicate in an increasingly technological world. To suggest to our students that one semester of English composition is sufficient to make them effective writers is seriously to delude them. Until we understand the relationship between writing and general education, we will have failed to grapple with the real problem. Until the entire faculty of the University shares the responsibility for improving the by which 1 mean the general education writing of our students, we shall only obscure the fundamental issue. When this issue is faced, the English Department’s immediate problem will be understood in the larger context it deserves. Only then will the particular role and identity of the English Department be clearly understood in its relation to the greater mission of the University. Only then will English be understood to have its proper (and unique) place alongside many other departments in providing our students with the writing skills necessary to perform effectively in the world. Student literacy cannot be assigned to one department; it vitally concerns every teacher and administrator in the University. Only when the issue of effective writing comes to be understood in the larger context of general education, will a more judicious and more universally acceptable distribution of University resources follow. function and — — T. Jefferson Kline, Associate Dean, Faculty of Arts and Letters fear? To the Editor. Composition and the long term It I * Attending the Monday, Sept. 11 meeting of the College Council proved to be a very educational experience. One of the strongest feelings (hat I perceived from watching the “well-dressed, well-heeled socialites” was their apparent fear of any direct confrontation or communication with students. Their feelings that an open forum might be “self-defeating” or “chaotic” seems to me to possibly istem from, not much a wish to have issues discussed in an organized, civilized manner, as from a fear to openly face students and have the Council’s decisions questioned. If the CounfciMruly wanted a regular, organized input from students, they could adopt Michael Pierce’s suggestion that students have a regular period at the end of every Council meeting to bring up issues and propose solutions. I do not view students as incapable of presenting issues in a formal atmosphere, or discussing them in an unchaotic manner. I certainly do not feel that it is “improper” that students have regular input at College Council meetings, especially since the meetings directly concern them and their university. Chaos comes when paternalistic elders decide that it “would be nice” if students could have “some time of their own” (in a less formal fashiop, of course!) where they can “tell us their problems.” Students are what this University is here for (not for the socialites’ egoes!), and we should demand a regular, formal, and real input into decisions concerning us. For one thing, the student representative should have a vote in the Council. What is this?! The only student representative on the entire Council, and the only one democratically elected (the rest are appointed by the Governor) cannot even have one vote in any of the major and minor decisions concerning this University. Now, for a very interesting matter. At the end of the College Council meeting, Chairman Robert Millonzi informed Student Representative Michael Pierce that he recently received a letter from the State Attorney General stating that the student representative cannot make or second motions in the Council. This is interesting because there is a May 1977 state law that explicitly states that the non-voting student representative has the right to make and second motions. Is the Attorney General that ignorant of state law? And why would he write our particular College Council to inform us of one, miniscule piece of law (which apparently is false, anyway)? What is going on? Does the Council really want to hear student issues?

Unfortunately, I left the door shut, but unlocked for a few minutes. One of the most disturbing things about this incident is that McDonald Hall is supposed to be locked at all times; no one can gain admittance to the dorm without either a door card or a key. Since many residents of this dorm do not have a card or for the sake of convenience, doors are propped open, thus inviting unwanted visitors. The fact that my wallet and several others were stolen from this dorm yesterday is as they say, the “icing on the cake.” Graduate housing on this campus is deplorable. For example, there is one kitchen in McDonald Hall which is supposed to accomodate the entire dorm, but it is in fact monopolized by a group of students who do not even have the decency to keep it clean. Since this letter is intended to show the lack of scruples of certain people, as well as an absence of security in the dorm; rather than a description of graduate housing, 1 will not dwell on this point. I only hope that the individuals who stole my wallet will have the common courtesy to return it intact, I’m sure that they’ve already helped themselves to the money in it.

Jack London. Lawrence Ferlinghetti and many more, is now giving rise to both a new group of writers and a new kind of writing. Some call it the “literature of work,” and for two good reasons; It is written, for the most part, by blue-collar workers, cab drivers and dock workers, and it depicts the special worlds defined by such work. One of the most successful examples of this fledging genre is a literary magazine called The Deep City Press written, edited and published by cab drivers for cab drivers. It is one of several experiments here and in Los Angeles that might be forging an important new direction in contemporary , writing. Until now, workers’ literature a term the usually languished in a writers might scoff at dresser drawer, according to George Benet, a longshoreman poet and novelist, because theie seemed to be no audience. “The big magazines and publishers wanted something more glamorous.

The Waterfront Writers, a group of San Francisco dock workers, grew out of reading sessions organized last year by Benet and Bob Carson, a longshoreman and poet. Four dock workers read the *0 3 to r first night, and 50 people attended. Since then, the audience has grown, and the J group has 15 members, including artists and & photographers. Most are from Local 6 of the International Longshoreman’s and Warehousemen’s Union. They have published two small volumes of stories and verse, but public readings remain their | major forum. Sharing their art with fellow workers has changed how and what the writers write. Gene Dennis of the Waterfront WRiters, for example, worked on a screenplay for several years. The work was based on an incident that took place on the docks, but, Dennis said, “there was this idea that the function of it was to sell it to Hollywood, and that idea wrote the screenplay. I put a lot of gratuitous sex and violence into it. “Since 1 started reading with the Waterfront Writers. I’ve been drawing a lot more on my own experiences, my reactions to the work and to changes in the work, my relationships with the other guys. The Waterfront Writers gives me an incentive to come to terms with these things. Without it I’m not sure I would focus so much on this part of my * life,” he said. The Waterfront Writers and The Deep City Press portray whole worlds shaped by work, worlds which suggest that workers live in a variety of sub-cultures defined by their trades, each with its own mythology and its characteristic physical and mental landscapes. “Death on Watchman Way,” for example, about the murder of Michael Albert, a cab driver who worked nights, evokes a dread that is peculiar to the trade of driving a taxi. “The face of Michael Albert haunts every cab driver, deep-seated but not dwelled upon,” said the editor in a note. Dockwork is also dangerous, but the threat of being crushed by a 20-ton cargo container has a different psychological quality from that of being shot by a “load,” as cab drivers call their passengers. Self-contained world Cab drivers are loners in an urban labyrinth, intimately familiar with the byways and back alleys of the city. Many dock workers, on the other hand, not only work, but live, shop and socialize on the waterfront. Some never leave the area for years at a time and get lost when they try to take a cross-town bus. In fact, the erosion of this sheltered, self-contained world by automation in the industry -continued on page 20- Alien Social Security New federal regulations now require aliens who apply for U.S. Social Security cards to have an interview with a Social Security official and present proof of birth.

Wiesel was born in Rumania, the only son of an Hassidic storekeeper. In Sighet, his small Hungarian-speaking town, he led restricted from entering Palestine, and was sent with many other Jewish orphans to France. He later rejoined with two of his sisters after they spotted him in a photograph of Jewish refugee United States citizen in 1963, and now lives in New York with his family. Wiesel has some very strong, definite attitudes and opinions about Jews today, and where they by Carl A. Sterrazza Rarely can one human so much just by the mention of his name. Rarely can he represent to so many peoples' strength and security after such a weakening and horrid nightmare. Security for Nazi death camp survivors, for Gentile and )ew alike, is author-writer Elie Wiesel. represent world Wiesel sympathy for Israel also that the present existence of anti-Semitism is due to what he calls the disturbance of the jews’ strength of tradition. “I would say we represent the artistic form in history, the conscience of history. That’s why we disturb them. Imagine Abraham or Moses coming out of a society full of murder and saying, ‘Don’t kill.’ And ‘There is only one God.' We were full of forerunners. We said no. No to the present. No to the invading circumstances the believes present Wiesel’s characters are almost all Holocaust survivors. "I don't believe the aim of literature is to entertain, to distract, to amuse. It used to be. I don’t believe in it anymore.” This may be why his books are sometimes difficult to read as they offer neither pleasure "A modem Job,” Wiesel is a voice of the Jewish people, who often look to him as a Jewish Billy Graham. Author of nine novels, essays, histories, Short stories concerning Judaism, a play, and news reportage, Wiesel is cerurtnly to be considered a giant amfing Jewish-Americans a sort of Jewish folk hero. or relief. — What makes Wiesel's work stand out so is his recounting of the human feelings experienced during the Holocaust period. His novels tend to be theological parables rather than concrete fiction. His words are simple, his expression is easily felt by all. Never weak, Wiesel always leaves readers, as is his intent, with hope for massive strength and extermination to never occur again Survivor of Holocaust Wiesel’s fame rests largely on his identification as a survivor of the Holocaust, and his work often takes on the religious fervency of an Old Testament prophet as he recounts the horrors of death camps. Yet, with his total association with the death camps, Wiesel declares that except for his autobiographical work Night he does not speak or write, directly about the Holocaust. “The Holocaust cannot be described; it an isolated religious life in which he was unaware of such notions as Zionism or Communism. In 1944 the Nazis deported half of Sighet, his father murdered before his eyes at Buchenwald concentration camp and his mother and younger sister killed in another camp After liberation, Elie was children. Entering the Sorbonne, he later supported himself by teaching Hebrew and as a Paris correspondent for a Tej Aviv paper. Wiesel was barred from enlisting into the Israeli army because of ill health, but worked French in Israel as a correspondent. He became a Wipsel’s work is certainly moving, and is probably the most human account and fiction of the death camp era. But Wiesel adds, "Don’t think that because you have read some of my books or have heard some of my books or have heard some of my lectures that you know what happened. IMobody knows. Only those who were there. While I want to transmit, I also know that I cannot transmit. Nobody can. We are a caste apart. Only those who were there will ever know what really happened. The others are removed, one generation removed. They may hear the echo of a song. To him the Holocaust era has been cheapened and “vulgarized” by its insensitive treatment. “I don’t know, it used to be a sacred topic. It must be seen as a stand. His greatest causes now are special event, meaning a special the plight of Israel, plus Soviet event which requires style, a special approach, a special level, a and Arab Jewry.

Adapted from Robert Stone’s acclaimed novel, Dog Soldiers, Who’ll Stop the Rain is a'film that doesn’t know what to do with its literary content.

New shows have been planned, produced and taped. Schedules have been drafted, the choice hours of each evening have been divvied up. Now, the moguls sit in their Hollywood towers wringing their hands as the Neilson people sharpen their pencils. It is in this jittery, flaring activity that an old season dies. The shows which amused us, which bored us, those which led us to despair, all become a faint echo in this annual clamor. Still, propriety isn’t measured by volume. Thus, despite the fact that by the time this column finds its way into print, the season will be wet) underway, I feel it proper to look over our shoulder at the old season before we lose sight of it in the sparkle of the new. The 77-78 season is unremarkable in that it represents a continuation of the previous season's trends and innovations. It is also important in that this continuation represents a confirmation of patterns set in that year of Roots. In 1977-78, the Mini-series, ABC's primacy, the de-emphasis of violence and the subsequent emphasis on sex became, not innovations, but the rules of the game. Television has entered a new era. In terms of quality, intelligence on the tube found itself in retreat. Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley took firm possession of the top two spots. A whole slew of new shows (most of them on ABC) whose IQ’s are the reciprocal of their high ratings found a cozy place in the homes of America. Popular programs such as The Love Boat (ABC); Chips (NBC); Carter Country (ABC); Soap (ABC); Three's Company (ABC), and Fantasy Island (ABC) are so bad they’re surreal, something from the mind of a lunatic. On the other hand, good shows were lost in the ratings shuffle. The Tony Randall Show ■(CBS), a refugee from ABC, featured classy humor that did not rely on sex or camp, but on the comic idiocyncrasies of its characters. Rossetti and Ryan (NBC), a competent serio-comedy starring Tony Roberts, disappeared long before the first snowfall and long before anyone had a chance to notice it. The Richard Pryor Show, the best comedy show on network television since Your Show of Shows, saw only five installments before NBC axed it over creative conflicts with Pryor. This cancellation hurts more than any other in recent history. The Richard Pryor Show was more than an excellent television show; it was an excellent anything. I think ’art’ is the word for it. But it's gone: butterflies don’t live long in the wastelands. Kenny Loggins and Larry Carlton! Buffalo hasn't seen such a peculiar concert combination since Richie Havens opened fc/r Jethro Tull. They both drew strong applause Friday~night though, and actually, both seemed to compliment each other quite well. Larry Carlton opened, adapting very comfortably to the acoustically perfect Kleinhans Music Hall. Carlton, for those readers who don’t recognize the name, has quite an impressive guitar-playing history. He's plucked strings for many Hunter and liver at UB A couple of years back, Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter was posed with the prospect of touring with the Dead. His liver promptly bailed out.

Spotlights bathed “J the band, reflecting off Loggins’ silver velveted -3 pants. Six musicians accompanied him, including | two former Loggins and Messina reedmen. Loggins, £ taking a trademark leap, opened the show with two numbers off his most recent album, Nightwatch. The show was a well planned mix of new and older tunes, borrowing from his first solo album, Celebrate Me Home, and from older Loggins and Messina hits. Loggins seemed comfortable with this band, as he danced ’round the stage and shook the hands of several of the hamier fans sitting in the front rows. "Who Do People Lie?” one of the better songs off his first solo disc, sounded much better live, complete with an exemplary bittersweet saxophone solo. Kenny Loggins, who was always the wilder of his former duets with |im Messina, has enough dynamics to thrive alone. He also has an outstanding voice, combined with above-average composing ability. Since going solo, however, he frequently lets his voice wander too much. His falsetto occasionally gets carried away, and the way he meanders from side to side, grasping for the audience, bogs him down in heavy syrup. A suggestion would be to subdue his sacharine sweet presentation slightly. i - Love songs and angry eyes There was no doubt-aboul the highlight of the show, A stool and acoustic guitar were supplied, and Loggins broke into a medley of familiar acoustic material, most notably, “House at Pooh Corner,” "Danny’s Dong," and "A Love Song." Kleinhans was the perfect setting for this quieter sound, and Loggins voice was at its best during this section of the show. —Jenson Kenny Loggins it Kleinhans Soft ballads of love years with the (Jazz) Crusaders. He’s also one of many musicians on Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark. Most recently, you can hear his blazing riffs on Aja, Steely Dan’s newest. Going solo may have been the best thing Carlton has ever done. Touring on the heels of a new album, his four piece band provided the flexible surroundings needed to push his guitar expertise into the forefront. Carlton’s ear-to-ear smile made his finger-pickin’ look like a breeze. Most of the numbers were instrumentals, with a few vocal bits thrown in. With the exception of one really bluesy number, Carlton’s singing could easily have been left out. The band’s jazzy sound was well polished, however, and the performance, complete CREATIVE ARTS — • "Whenever I Call You Friend,” his current AM hit, minus Stevie Nicks, followed, leading right into his first big seller, "I Believe in Love.” After "Lady Luck” the show closed with an exceptional twenty-minute rendition of an old Loggins and Messina favprite, “Angry Eyes.” This brought the audience to its feet, demanding the obligatory encore. “Easy Driver,” another song ffom the new disc, seemed a strange selection for an encore, but maybe Loggins was planning on being cheered to another, which he was. “Vahevalla” was a sure crowd pleaser right from the first note, and "Celebrate Me Home” brought the performance down to a slow finish. Overall, the concert was enjoyable, indeed. An enthusiastic crowd and unbeatable acoustics helped, for sure, but good company, and a fine combination of talent made the performance a memorable one. THERAPY ASSOCIATION V 1 , impressive « ■ Probably the only show to succeed which is not an eyesore is MTM’s Lou Grant (CBS). Starring Ed Asner in his much loved role from the WJM newsroom, it follows the exploits of a city Editor on a major Los Angeles newspaper. This show is funny and moving in an honestly human way. Outside of M*A*S*H, the characters of Lou Grant are about the only humans on TV. Big-breasted women, cutesie male sex objects, cops, saccharine families, and the Fonz don’t make the grade. The mini-series was fruitful and multiplied. Indeed, the season began with ABC’s Washington Behind Closed Doors a series that would have been laughable if it weren’t so boring. Much the same can be said of Last Chance, Loose Change, 79 Park A venue, Wheels, The Bastard, and An Evening in Byzantium with the pleasant exception of The Awakening Land, an engaging adaptation of Conrad Richter’s novel starring Elizabeth Montgomery and Hal Holbrook, two TV heavies. King and Holocaust were both NBC productions; both were righteous, offensive and incompetent. And yet, King was the season’s loudest flop and Holocaust its biggest hit. You figure it opt. (More on Holocaust and why it’s terrible in coming columns.) Specials: we watched Eric Idle’s excellent spoof on the Beatles, AH You Need Is Cash (NBC), watched as Gary Trudeau’s Doonesbury characters came to life, as well as a series Of Bugs Bunny classics (CBS). We were disappointed by The Hobbit (NBC) and Louise Lasser’s Just You And Me and profoundly bored by innumerable other specials, each proving that the average special is average and not special. PBS, always an oasis, treated us with opera, ballet, Vladimir Horowitz, Anthony Hopkins and Arthur Fiedler. Its usual programming was good, as usual: Nova, Firing Line, The MacNeHJLehr Report, Dick Cavett, Faulty Towers in# Monty Python's Flying Circus. /, Claudius was an island of solid drama and satire in the sea of the usual Masterpiece Theatre much, and then of course there was Scenes From a Marriage.

While few of us condone murder, how many of us are prepared to think of ourselves Nonetheless, as murderers? perhaps it is fitting that this be one of the first Chaplins shown here since his death, for it can deserves attention; it is only that the way this admittedly delicate question is presented which lacks the finesse and realism to wholly convince us whether this is a valid question. We hardly expect humorists to tell us that what we are doing is laughs and discount their views. (The life of Lenny Bruce is simple testimony to our crassness.) Chaplin took a risk, stabbed at what he thought was wrong, and in my opinion, faltered. I would not respect him as I do, however, if he had not not see Monsieur tried.

He was 31 years old. Just hours earlier. Moon had announced his engagement at a party held by Paul McCartney. An autopsy showed that his death was due to an overdose of a prescribed sedative, which mortuary officials declined to identify. While Moon’s death undoubtedly came as a shock to Who fans, it certainly wasn’t a total surprise. He was noted for his drinking prowess, rather than heavy drug use. He led an exuberant lifestyle, manifesting his boundless energy not only in his manic, violent drumming style, but also in innumerable drunken pranks. His specialty was wreaking havoc in hotel rooms, paying for the damage afterwards in cash. Perhaps the most famous scries of madcap Moon antics occurred on The Who’s first American tour, as the opening act for Herman’s Hermits. The band held a twenty-first birthday party for Moon at their hotel in Flint, Michigan. Moon had been, by his own account, drinking since ten in the morning. Feeling no pain, he picked up his five-tier birthday cake and hurled it at his fellow party-goers. The Holiday Inn manager called the police, at which time a naked Moon jumped into a brand new Lincoln Continental, released the handbrake, and drove into the pool. When he finally surfaced, with Flint's finest in hot pursuit, Moon slipped on a piece of ravaged birthday cake and broke his front tooth. He woke up the next day in jail, to find that The Who had flown on to Chicago without him. The bill for his party escapades amounted to $24,000. Despite his heavy drinking, only one incident of serious illness has marked his career. On the first show of The Who’s 1973 American tour, Moon collapsed over his drum set, and had to be carried offstage. He triumphantly returned fifteen minutes later, only to collapse a second time. The band was forced to recruit a drummer from the San Francisco audience for the remainder of the show. The official explanation for his collapse was that his pre-show drink had been spiked with PCP by an unknown person. Keith Moon’s death comes on the heels of the release of the album, Who Are You. It is no secret that there were often personality conflicts within the band. They did not tour to support their latest release, opting instead to premiere it at laseriums across the U.S. This led to much speculation that it would be their last LP. The Who was the only British Invasion band to survive into the ’70s with all original members intact; their career spanned fourteen years. It is doubtful that Keith Moon will be replaced even if it were possible. His passing will probably mark the passing of The Who into rock annals another one of a series ofends to an era that will remain alive in the memories ofmany. ~/ohn Szymaszek with free music and free beer V for 2 days! — — Alvin Ailey Friday, September 15 Dance surpasses words Summer may be over for most of us, but not for the people at Artpark. Until September 17, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater will be gracing the stage with imagination, energy and professionalism that well deserves to be seen. By no means is what follows all there is to this company. The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, or any dance company for that matter, cannot be capsulized into a column of words. Dance surpasses words, it conceptualizes what words miss, and this is the very essence of the art. The Alvin Ailey Dance company has amazing versatility, their dances incorporating ballet, jazz, mime and more informal dance as well as modem technique. The dancers transform their movements from slow and abstract to incredibly fast-paced dancing that leaves both dancers and audience breathless. in Streams, set to avant-garde music by Miloslav Kabelac and choreographed by Ailey himself, the dancers mirror each other in pairs. Later, the dancers experiment with moving in unison and in counterpoint, with balancing and making shapes with two bodies. Soloist Estelle Spurlock, winds beautiful circles into herself with her limbs, using the stage like a picture frame. Hobo Sapiens is choreographed to songs by Stevie Wonder and t Billy Preston. Dudley Williams dances to a story about a city, fantasy, responsibility, and feeling good. He runs, mimes, dances, hams it up and dances some more. Dressed as a tramp, he exaggerates snubbing out a cigarette with his foot until it turns into a showy dance. Hat in hand, Williams ends the dance begging as Billy Preston sings, "You got to have something if you want to be with me." In Butterfly, seven dancers contrast fluidity with rigidity, and use unison to highlight one dancer in another part of the stage. The company's largest flaw appeared here sometimes where unison was intended, the dancers were not precise and so lost part of their .power. But this was offset by such strong points as the sharp, outstanding dahcfttg of Mel Tomlinson, who seemed able to manipulate every inch of his body exactly the way he wanted to. The final dance Suite Otis is a tribute to the late soul singer Otis Redding, using mime, jazz and a touch of comedy. In an excellent parody of Lover’s Prayer, Marilyn Banks and Carl Paris caricature cheek-to-cheek dancing and then work it to complex and sophisticated heights. Do not merely read about the company; they will'be at Artpark until Sunday night and tickets are not expensive. Go see Alvin Alley. You won’t regret it. —Ruth S. Gibian from 1 pm to 1 am.

As the stage crew disassembled Jaded Virgin’s equipment, the A thread of good old-fashioned rock and roll wove its way into the Eleventh Annua} Goodtimes Festival at Buffalo 5>tate College, coloring the event with enough spirit to get the crowd up and dancing for all four acts. In spite of shifting weather conditions and even a five-minute spell of rain, the smafl but lively crowd remained enthusiastic and cheered for more as NRBQ (New Rhythm and Blues Quartet) brought the diversified program to an end. Opening the afternoon at one o’clock was Kinky Friedman, whose back-up band, the Texas Jewboys, was streamlined to include just one musician beside Mr. Friedman himself. Friedman’s slogans and songs ("They Don’t Make Jews Like Jesus Anymore,” for example) are quite often extraordinarily insulting, but for the most part the jibe is also intended to include Friedman himself as the target. Thus all the slurs are taken with a grain of salt and the audience is able to laugh without offense. Using basic country, blues and folk structure in musical conjunction with his outrageous lyrics, Friedman’s rollicking set was roundly applauded by the audience. It set the mood perfectly for Marshall threatening sky suddenly opened and the audience sought refuge under the trees in Rockwell Quad. But the downpour ceased almost as quickly as it began, and did not in any way dampen the crowd’s enthusiasm for Vassar Clements. Chapman. Jaded Virgin Marshall Chapman cuts quite a striking stage figure. AtAJx''feet, one inch, the lanky Ms.'Chapman wields her Fenaei/ Stratocaster with as much agility as Bonnie Raitt, knifing the air with its neck and pushing her band, Jaded Virgin, to the rock and roll limit. Ms. Chapman has often been compared to Patti Smith, even though their personal forms of music are practically at opposite ends of the spectrum. It is the State —Fleu high level of energy and vivaciousness that both employ in their stage shows that makes the analogy realistic. Chapman, whose first Buffalo appearance ever was at the Festival, took the audience by surprise as she performed such songs as “A Thank-You Note for Hank Williams” and “Why Can’t You Be Like Other Girls,” a most appropriate description of her personality and performance. As the emcee indicated, everyone can Glidingfiddle A large portion of the audience had come specifically to see Mr. Clements, whose credits include work with the Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, and countless other mainstream rock and roll acts. Mr. Clements expanded his usual bluegrass program to include what could best be called jazz-rockabilly. Clements’ young, four-piece back-up provided the rhythm while Clements soared off on innumerable gliding fiddle solos. The crowd square-danced through "Land of the Navajo” and the ever-popular "Orange Blossom Special,” and rose in entirety to its feet when Marshall Chapman appeared onstage to sing harmonies for Dickie Betts’ ‘‘Ramblin’ Man.” Scattered hog-calls could still be heard even as the crew set up for NRBQ. As the leaflets distributed before their set indicated, the best way to describe the music of the New Rhythm and Blues Quartet would be marvelously eccentric. For your listening pleasure, the band suggests such disparate offerings as discs by Sun Ra, the Rolling Stones and die Modern Lovers. And for dancing pleasure, NRBQ served up a tasty compote of swing, R'n’B, blues and straight rock and roll. With the aid of a two-man brass section, NRBQ performed selections from all their recordings, including such favorites as "RC Cola” and “Right String, Wrong Yoyo.” The set was highlighted by a performance of Barbra Streisand’s "People,” with tongue planted firmly in cheek. NRBQ finished at seven, exiting to a crowd applauding not only the talent, but the general success of a well-planned and executed program. This was the first time in three years that the Goodtime Festival was able to take place outdoors, judging by the well-deserved acceptance it received, it won’t be the last. Marshall Chapman, Jaded Virgin (Epic) When my colleague Komansky sauntered over to me while I was head cold boogieing to Marshall Chapman last weekend at Buff State’s gig, she said to me, “She’s so tuff.” And Chapman was perfect raw emergy albeit groping for a way to proceed. And this six-foot rocker had to be tuff to come up to me to give me a big hug which didn’t let go for five minutes. Oh yeah, she’s pretty sensual, too. jaded Virgin, Chapman’s second record, is overproduced by Al Kooper (who should have dug a hole for himself after BS&T Father Is Child To The Man record). Still, even Kooper can’t deny Chapman her raucous feel for rock which is prompted by this bestial need a lot of us have for Alan Freed’s hot wax ambiance. It’s a safe bet to assume that Chapman is a woman of fantasy. Once dreaming about pure country, she now dreams of what she perceives as pure rock. But the difference between a sticky Nashville gin mill and a seedy rock club isn’t that distinctive. She must think there’s a real difference in attitude for playing rock after having played unacceptable yet understandable country. But her attitude is wrong leading to all the male stud cliches of late '60s hard rock. This naivete by the “No-Shame Dame" can be overcome by experience. Chapman will learn that she doesn't have to be as chauvinistic about rock because of her hyped-up passion. Right now, in a “A Thank-You Note (Thank-You, Hank),” the ode to Hank Williams is covered with a slew of moralizing about rock’s rights and wrongs. About the bastardizing of Hank, Chapman says: — — "They got Hank in the Bank they got his name wrote down in gold they got his money but, honey' we got his soul in the rock and roll." Amen; but it’s too upfront, too forced, making her ideas a part of the casual rock listener who might be upset by this statement. So Chapman tries too hard when she doesn’t have too; when it is just as good when hinted at, she makes it too clear, too personally lucid. But Chapman will get the feeling real soon. Although overproduction glazes most rock present, and this combination of Harris, Joplin, Smith and Jagger is jaded by a band who can’t rock unless they’re heard live; her voice gives me the feeling of a whored version of sponteneity (Kooper’s fault), if not genuin-ess. Still, because she must want to need so badly, and she must appreciate her fans, she is going to make it. Pretty big. “I Forgot To Put The Music On” shows that she is willing to make a song where she is not only vulnerable, but sensitive in a sort of stinging way. And there’s no arrogance in “Why Can’t I Be Like Other Girls?" an admirable autobiographical piece. But she seems to {hink there is some weird irony in being asked this question throughout her life so she doesn’t really grasp her individuality. When she touches it without needing to cope, without subconsciously feeling self-conscious, she’ll be one of this decade’s best rock n’ rollers. Marshall Chapman indeed has the potential.

Bill and Betty, the sappy happy couple excitedly took center stage. Turns out the diabetic duo was not “Bill” and "Betty” but Paul Kawalec and Elise Pearlman, stars of The Golden Fleece written by A.R. Gurney and directed by Valerie Harris. Gurney’s one-act play is about happily married Bill and Betty who are anxious to introduce Jason and Medea, the Greek mythological couple who were bringing the golden fleece to the audience. But the couple never shows. For the next forty-five minutes, embarrassed Bill and Betty try everything to get their ancient friends to the Tralf. The story unfolds when Bill reveals that Jason is having an affair. Betty gets upset and offstage Warns Medea. A parallel between the Greek couple’s relationship and that of the contemporary couple is drawn. As Jason and Medea’s relationship deteriorates, so does Bill and Betty’s. The women fight the men and, in the end, Medea kills her children and ditches her husband leaving Bill and Betty to walk numbly off stage, their future in the hands of the audience’s imagination. The idea was great but the fun faded. I tired quickly from all the "talklness.” Gurney could have gotten his point across with fewer lines forty-five minutes seemed more like an hour and a half.

The master enrollment plan developed by Admissions and Records (A&R) for MFC was centered by a “Registration Marathon” held the weekend of August 29. The Marathon was in part a response to last year’s inconvenient and frustrating registration procedures. Successful in enrolling 180 students, the Marathon’s aim was to simplify procedures and improve access to advisors during registration. A general decentralization of registration locations decreased conjestion. Drop/Add locations were moved from Hayes B & C to Squire Hall on Main St. and Fronczak Hall at Amherst. Last year’s huge drop in Millard Fillmore College enrollment was blamed on communication gaps and inconvenient registration procedures. Some night school students, apparently frustrated in their attempts to register, simply gave up, resulting in a 35 percent decrease in the school’s enrollment figures. According to Director of A&R Richard Dremuk, students registered in good faith early last year but because of department moves from Main St. to Amherst during the summer their schedules were entangled with time conflicts and other cross-campus conflicts. As of Tuesday evening, MFC enrollment was up from 3198 to 3324 and general enrollment from 12,600 to 13,300. General registration closes today while MFC will remain open until September 22. Richard Dremuk Director of A&R said that this year’s registration was “the most satisfactory they have gone through in years.” r-ATTENTION: The Graduate Student Research Grant applications are now available in the GSA office, 103 Talbert Hall Granting level for Master &PhD candidates up to $150 & $250 respectively Complete applications due by Thursday, Oct. 19 '78 at 4:30 pm ANY QUESTIONS CALL GSA OFFICE - 636-2960.

Nearly as many people have been at least privately interested in them. Almost no one knows anything about them. The fascination people have about aphrodisiacs as aids to sexual prowess is widespread. is An aphrodisiac any substance from chemicals to food, that increases sexual desire in either males or females. Peoples’ needs or desires for aphrodisiacs are varied. Sexual quite dysfuction is often the basis for the interest. A male will often search for an artificial cure for impotence. Men seek something to increase their “staying power”, stamina, or performance in general. With females, the search is often for a “love potion” to “make her sexually receptive and break down her inhibitions,” according to psychology professor Mark Kristal, who teaches a course entitled Psychobiology of Reproduction. Sex problems Director Sexuality of Education Center Ellen Christensen suggested that the desire for an aphrodisiac may stem from a person’s underlying sexual problems. This could include a sexual preference which is felt to be socially unacceptable. In this case, a person may seek an artificial aid to stimulate more socially acceptable desires. Christensen also said that a person’s desire for aphrodisiacs could be spurred from ignorance or false ideas about its effects. This is apparent if one visits the nearest porno or head shop dealing in sexually related items. The eager customer looking for something to make him the world, greatest lover finds many options. Double your fun One might find bottles of “love potion”, or tablets. The packaging claims the product will “double your sexual pleasure.” These items are physiologically inert but the user may derive some benefit psychologically. Often referred to as the “placebo effect”. If one expects to enjoy increased sexual pleasures chances are that it will “wishful thinking,” happen accoring to Kristal. Certain foods have long been believed capable of stimulating sexual arousal. According to the Encyclopedia of Sexual Behavior, this is a delusion as old as the human race. The Irish used to - V/ favor potatoes, tomatoes were often called “love apples”. Foods rich in Vitamin E however, such as peanuts and wheat germ, are important in gaining and maintaing sexual stimulation. Aside from the improtant indirect effect on sexual activity from nourishing foods (energy), psychological stimulation can be gained from a senuous dining atmosphere. Spanish fly Modern science recognizes only two aphrodisiacs to have any direct effect. The old mythological Spainsh Fly is the dried powder from the remains of the cantharis beetle of the Mediterranean. The other, Rohimbine, is extracted from the bark of a South African tree. These are powerful, dangerous that inflame the drugs gastro-urinary tract, affecting both the male and female sex organs in a way that some people find stimulating.

It dilates the blood vessels, not only of the skin which causes a feeling of warmth or glowX but also of the sex organs. Your favorite spirits also act as a narcotic and a paralyzing agent upon the brain that tends to remove moral blocks and bring on a light-headed, easygoing, and sexually responsive state of mind. Marijuana works basically in the same indirect way as alchohol, a producing light-headed, uninhibited state of mind. — Rats! Variations in human sexual behavior can be seen as a superficial aphrodisiac, according to Kristal. Studies have shown that when a male breeding rat has been sexually exhausted its female partner will not be able to arouse him for a long period of time. If however, a new female partner is introduced to the male he becomes immediately aroused. Although this theory has been difficult to test with humans, the idea is not unapplicable. If a man, at the point of sexual exhaustion, were to fantasize about a new partner, the same affect might result. But if a male were to actually go to another partner in another room, it would probably be disruptive enough so that the effect of this new partner would not be very stimulating. Apparently, an interest in aphrodisiacs is not rampant on this campus. Christensen said that in her three years of involvement with the Sexuality Education program, she has not encountered any aphrodisiac queries fro students here. She hypotheseised that college students don’t neecT of aphrodisiac sort any encouragement or aid. It seems there is no magic except that of the act itself. �| Evelyn Wood —continued from page 1— . .

I would have thought, perhaps superficially, that such would be permitted, but you will notice that Mr. Lefkowitz reached the opposite conclusion. Sincerely yours. Hilary P. Bradford Earlier, an April 17 article in The Spectrum has alleged widespread disenchantment within Ketter’s administration. The Courier-Express and Buffalo Evening News also had reported on the allegations. The News called for the Council to conduct an inquiry into the charges in an April 19 editorial. At a Council meeting April 17, the afternoon The Spectrum's story broke, Whiting had requested that the allegations be discussed. Chairman Millonzi reserved discussion for executive session. Although the topic did surface behind closed doors, official “I know there is such a memo,” Bradford said minutes show that no motions were made and no ‘‘and I have or had it. Possibly, my office Thursday, action taken in private session. did send him a copy .” The UB College Council is an appointed body of Millonzi told The Spectrum he did not solicit business and community leaders who approve certain campus policies and, every five years, have a role in the May 10 letter and “had no idea” if President the review procedure for the University President. Ketter had urged Bradford to send if. denied Ketter any Each SUNY unit has a College Council that includes Bradford strongly one non-voting student rep. involvement in the letter, saying, “Dr. Ketter did not order, suggest or hint that a copy be sent.” Bradford claimed that sending the letter was “a courtesy, not a conspiracy.” After being questioned After the Council meeting of May 8 and on Ketter’s possible invovlement, Bradford claimed Bradford’s letter two days later, the Council shifted the conversation between he and the reporter “had the special session on Ketter from sometime in June been personal in nature.” to May 19. ROCKIN’ DOWN THE HIGHWAY: Th« re-paving and widening of Millcrsport Highway will not begin until spring, according to a DOT spokesman. The road will undergo temporary cold-patching this winter to re-repair its numerous potholes. Bradford included in his mailing to Millonzi, a signed cover letter which read: Continuing in office Official minutes show that Whiting made only one motion at the May 19 session, a request that the Council urge the SUNY Board of Trustees to move up the official evaluation of Ketter from September 1980, to “the present.” If Ketter failed the evaluation, Whiting reasoned, he would be replaced. But the Council had earlier ruled that it did not have the power under the State Education Law to act on any question of Keitels continuing in office. Whiting’s motion was never seconded. * * * * * Hilary Bradford, contacted Thursday by The Spectrum, could not explain why the memo was sent to Millonzi May 10, in the midst of the furor over Ketter “1 have no recollection of the incident at all,’ Bradford said. “If he (Millonzi] says I sent it to him I have no reason to doubt that.’’ When reminded that neither party had suggested the interview was anything but on the record, Bradofrd said, “1 don’t want to see a big, long story in the paper about this tomorrow.” No motioning power After May 19, the Council did not meet again until Monday, September 11. At that meeting, Millonzi informed the new student representative, Michael Pierce, of the attorney general’s memo and instructed Pierce that-he did not have motioning power. Pierce told The Spectrum that Millonzi did not publicly or privately mention that the attorney general’s memo came from Braford, the University’s attorney Millonzi had sent a copy of both the memo and Bradford’s letter to Student Association attorney Richard Lippes on May 26, 1978 a week after the full confidence vote. According to Millonzi, Lippes agreed to take responsibility for determining the exact implications of the 1976 memo. Pierce made a number of motions at the September 11 meeting before he was informed of the attorney general’s memo. Millonzi said at the meeting that he had been “remiss” in allowing student motions last year. — Creative writing and other social forces forms one of the over-riding concerns common to the Waterfront Writers. Cab drivers and dock workers are not the only blue-collar authors.. Singlejack Press, a small “workers’ press” in Los Angeles committed to publishing such material for a mass audience, has been astonishingly successful. The operation, run by longshoreman Bob Miles and retired longshoreman Stanley Weir, started with the intention of publishing just one book, a collection of short stories and poefry by George Benet. “We knew George and we knew he had a closetful of writing that he wasn’t doing anything with," Weir said. “So we talked him into letting us select some and put together a book. After A Place in Colusa came out we-started to think maybe there were other people out there with good manuscripts sitting in their closets. So we decided to keep the operation going and see what happened.” They soon were put in touch with Steve Packard, a steelworker in Gary, Indiana.

Discussing that book, Weir said he was reminded of Harvey Swadoes who, in the mid-50s, went to work in a factory in order to write his novel. On the Line. “The literary establishment of the time ridiculed Swudoes, ridiculed this idea that you had to do the work to write about it or even that work was worth writing about,” Weir said. “But Swadoes Complained then, and it was pretty much remained true until recently, that American literature contains no examination of work, no .recognition of the' dominant role it plays in most people’s lives.

Thompson has attracted national attention with his bizarre, irreverant political reporting for Rolling Stone. He has developed a writing style which he calls: intense, demented journalism... or "gonzo". "Hunter Thomspon is to American journalism what Waylon Jennings is to country music. An outlaw from the usual form and approach." His books and many articles printed in Rolling Stone Magazine (for whom he no longer works though they keep his name on the masthead) have made him a folk hero. He is recognized coast to coast. He is labeled as either the finest political writer in this country or a depraved misfit to be denied press credentials at all costs. His books include, "Hells Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga ", "Fear & Loathing in Las Vagas: A Strange Journey to the Heat of the American Dream" and "Fear & Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72." i s. �Health Service expands to fill the growing needs of Amherst As the Amherst campus continues to grow in order to accommodate the on-going move of the University, so does Health Service. Health Service has been staffing an office with nurses for six years; the first year was spent in Governors; the past five were spent in rooms of the Porter Quad in the Ellicott Complex. Last spring, doctors were assigned for the first time to Health Service’s satellite operation in Ellicott. The Ellicott Complex, along with Governors, has been handling increasing numbers of students every semester, creating a larger workload according to Director of Health Service M. Luther Musselman. Musselman is aware of the increased demand and has initiated plans to equip the Maherst Service with expanded and better equipped facilities. Doctors from the Main Street Health Service will rotate to Amherst on a monthly basis so all the doctors can familiarize themselves with the facility. To date, doctor hours are limited to afternoons, while on the Main Street Campus they are available —Crltton throughout the day.

The ex-Rolling Stone writer will be the first of this season’s Student Association Speakers Bureau events. Thompson sprang to national prominence in 1968 when he shaved his head and ran for sheriff of Aspen. Colorado. He proposed plans for renaming it Fat City and advocated shelling out parcels of mescaline, free for the asking. He and his party, “Aspen Freak Power Uprising,” were not victorious. Thompson’s journalistic style has been both praised and condemned. He describes his writing as “intense, demented journalism or just gonzo.” Most importantly his style has made Thompson the subject of literary discussions throughout the nation. A keen observer of the political system, he has written both exposes and novels on the presidential campaigns of 1972 and 1976. His pieces on the Vietnam War garnered national recognition. At present, Thompson is at work on a novel which will explore what happened to the American Dream. His previous works include Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 1972 and A Strange and Terrible Saga, among others.

No-shows stimulate de-tripling in dorms by Heide Mason Spectrum Staff Writer “Three’s a crowd” again this fall as hundreds of dorm students find themselves living three-to-a-room in space designed for two. Associate Director of Housing Cliff Wilson said de-tripling the shift of students from overcrowded rooms to places left by dormitory “no shows” should be completed by next - said. Such perplexing decisions are the common complaint among tripled students. Wilson explained that in past years the fourth roomate was ofter ostracized by the others. By not telling the roommates who the fourth is, the problem is eliminated, he said. Students also complained of personality conflicts which might not have flared in non-tripled rooms. — yveek. There are two types of triples rooms. In Goodyear, Clement, Dewey, and Lehman halls the triples are double rooms with a tmrd In Fargo, Porter, Red Jacket, Richmond, Spaulding and Wilkeson a fourth bed has been added to a three person room, making it a “fourple”. According to the “Triple Fact Sheet” distibuted by housing to the tripled students, a total of 96 male rooms and 64 female rooms have received an extra person. Twenty-seven rooms in the Governors Residence Halls have been tripled, and 90 three person rooms have been “fourpled” in the Ellicott Complex. Cramped quarters Four people living in a room designed for three has its obvious for example disadvantages attempting to fit four female wardrobes in three closets. As Richmond resident Barbara Johnston said, “Try having four people study with three desks!” Because the extra person is temporary, considered and additional desk is not. provided. The only “extra” furniture supplied by housing is a dresser and a bed. Unfortunately, crowding ts only one of the problems caused by tripling. Two Ellicott Resident Advisors and several tripled students complained that the third or fourth person was notified too late in the semester. Thus, the students within the room in some cases had to decide which person among them must leave. The person chosen was not always willing to leave, the RA’s — No deposit, no return Said Wilson, “We have gone beyohd the capacity in an attempt to house as many students as we can.” Each year a certain number of students make a housing deposit and then fail to show. Wilson said that according to statistics, about 200 “no shows” were expected this year. Only 160 students were tripled this year, leaving a “safety margin” of about 40 students. These 160 are to be “detripled” as soon as the “no show” spaces become available. In fact, detripling has already started. The tripled students are chosen by their lottery number and some returning students who wanted specific rooms chose them knowing they would be tripled for a temporary period. The rooms that were tripled, according to Wilson, were chosed by the RAs and area staffs last year. Wilson also said that the detripling is being done within the triple’s quad. If the quad is full the student is then moved to another. As a rule the first student to go is either the one with the highest lottery number or the last one assigned to the room, unless one of the other roommates volunteers. maintained, “The Wilson tripling worked out as we thought it would”. Some students that were not given on-campus housing originally were able to move when on-campus detripling started. In spite of the many difficulties, at least two “fourples” have decided to remain together. The women in those rooms feel that they would rather be cramped than lose one of their roommates. Four, evidently, is not a crowd for them. �sports public Notice of Ocici& by Merlin and Eddie If you are interested in starting your own publication in some area of special interest, you can apply for funding from the Publications Division of Sub Board I Inc.

And most of that information is in the form of printed words. Think what you could accomplish had your own personal computer ifyou that could digest all your reading almost as fast as you can turn pages. The time and efficiency you’d gain could make a big change for the better in your life right now. Of course, you already have such a device it’s called a brain. But you’re probably not using even a tenth of its capacity. Because just as a computer is only as good as its programs, your brain is only as powerful as the way you use it. And when it comes to reading, most of us are still stuck with the painfully slow methods we learned in grade school. Methods that are so inefficient that your — brain actually gets bored and distracted between words (which is why you probably find it hard to concentrate when you’re studying). Evelyn Wood would like you to spend an hour with us to discover some of the miraculous things your brain can do with the proper training. In a single, free, 1 hour demonstration, you’ll find out why most people are such poor readers, and how our new RD2 course can increase your reading speed at least 300%, with better concentration and retention. As part of the bargain, we’ll show you some new reading techniques designed to increase your speed immediately, with good comprehension after just this one free demonstration. Evelyn Wood RD2 can open the door to big things for you: better grades, more leisure time, and a whole new positive outlook on studying. And it will only cost you an hour of "computer time” to find out how.

SUNY Buffalo a tax drain? DeSantis stated that construction of the new campus is financed by state bonds backed by student tuition dollars. Interim measures, such as the inter-campus buses and Ridge Lea campus, are paid for with tax funds, he stated. Therefore, the longer the Amherst Campus remains incomplete and interim measures are needed, the more money taxpayers will have to shell out. DeSantis does not believe that Demske’s comments reflect the concern that public universities may force local private colleges to close. DeSantis said that a consortium of 18 colleges from around Western New York meets with University President Robert L. Ketter four times a year. At no time has a general feeling of discontent been voiced by the private schools, he said. Since the release of his clarification statement Friday, Father Demski who has been a spokesman for private colleges in Western New York has been unavailable for comment. — — be spared Plans changed for Millersport Highway - — — Unlikely chain of —Koenig VICTORY!: When the State Department of Transportation announced its intention to widen a section of Millersport Highway between Bailey and Eggert, residents along the heavily travelled road protested the plan. Instead of the original plan to widen the road five feet, the pockmarked road will be widened only two feet. Student Association (SA) officials joined forces and called for the immediate repair and repaving of the dilapidated road. The Bluebird Bus Company, which runs between the Amherst and Main Street Campuses constantly felt that because the buses only have twenty minutes to traved the distance, it could not avoid using the highway. Enraged Attempts at repairing the potholes were said to be futile because of temperature changes and moisture fluctuations. Since Grover Cleveland is a major traffic bottleneck, DOT believed the road needed widening. Many local residents opposed widening of the street, and flocked to Town Council meetings to voice their opposition. The protests of the Residents Against Grover Cleveland Expansion (RAGE) delayed construction. In addition to destroying the trees, the widening of the road would also increase reckless driving, RAGE claimed. The speed limit on the road is posted at 40 mph, but residents claimed that sometimes cars travel close to 70 mph. Property value might also fall with the expansion of the highway, residents feared. RAGE also claimed that the safety of many senior citizens and young children could be threatened. Originally, DOT contended that the five-foot expansion was needed to get federal funding. After additional pressure, the “two-foot” was compromise reached. -Alan Cohen events Stolen cues lead to drug bust Clement Hall on felony drug charges has sparked speculation of a toughening in drug enforcement policy by’ University Police, simple bad luck appears to have played the key role. The chain of events leading to the bust began Although Sunday’s arrest of a resident early Sunday evening when Campus Security investigated the alleged theft of pool cues from the Squire recreation area by three students known to be living in Clement. Two patrol cars were dispatched to the dorm with descriptions of the suspects who were not to be found in their rooms. Patrolman Pat McKenna then attempted to question residents on the fourth floor. One student, thinking some friends were joking around, opened his door which allowed the officer to step in. A suitemate in the adjoining room, having approximately three quarters of a pound of marijuana in his possession, slammed the bathroom door and unsuccessfully attempted to remove the window screen, apparently to dump the three bags of pot before being confronted. The student would probably have gone unnoticed except for the fact that he and a friend in the room coincidentally fit the descriptions that Police had issued of the theft suspects. The patrolmen subsequently entered their room and found the marijuana in plain sight. The use of marijuana in the privacy of a student’s room has become an accepted practive here, as at many universities, and Captain Jack Eggert of the University Police said that the policies here have not changed. “The guys were just caught with their pants down apd the officers didn’t have a hell of a lot of choice,” he said. “Our normal procedure with small amounts of marijuana is confiscation with no arrest.” “A couple of roaches in a student’s room is no problem," he said “but twelve or sixteen ounces is more Uke dealing, which we just won’t stand for here.” Inside: Former SA President makes good—P. 4 #r! / Cheesecake—P. 6 / CAC volunteers—P. 14 / Sports openers—P. 17 �M | Off-Campus Housing More rooms available than students now need There are now more apartments and rooms for rent than students who need them, according to the Off-Campus Housing (OCH) office. The influx of new listings, presently 25-30 per day, comes on the heels of both on and off-campus housing shortages which left hundreds of students looking for rooms even as classes began this semester. Currently, about 40 people each day riffle through the listings posted at OCH. “It's not as difficult to find a place as it was last week,” said OCH worker Shelley Siefel, “in fact there are a lot of single rooms close to (Main Street) campus.” Some full house listings on nearby streets such as Custer and Callodine have just been phoned in by landlords, she said. The sudden jump in the number of available apartments may be attributed to September turnover, no-show tenants and sympathetic area residents who are opening up rooms in their homes. Many people who called in listings said they had heard about UB's housing shortage on radio public service announcements (PSA’s), but the.source of the PSA’s remains a mystery to OCH and Housing officials who say they did not contact any radio stations. Several persons read of the shortage in the Niagara News a paper serving the Westside community; there are now several listings available in that , area. OCH will keep the excess listings on file for future reference. Anyone who needs housing can visit OCH at 343 Squire Hall, 831-5534. Representative finds College Council position is powerless which student opinions could be aired. Proposed by Millonzi, these forums could, according to the Chairman, “give us the benefit of their (students) views in a less formal atmosphere.” The proposal was initially opposed by Council member who saw Koren, Robert road to forums as a unorganized insisted that some He anarchy. planning for the meetings be done in advance so that order could be insured and to guard Council members from having to stay “until 6 p.m.” Claimed Koren; “To have open forums without a strict set of rules for time and subject in advance, presents a situation which chould well be self defeating.” He suggested that guidelines be set forth so that the meetings be kept organized. “Otherwise,” Koren suggested, “it could be chaotic.” The Council agreed that issues to be discussed should be handled by Pierce and forwarded in advance to Millonzi. A time limit for the meetings will also be instituted. by John H. Reiss Special to The Spectrum Monday’s College Council meeting yielded a mixed bag of results for students and their Council representative Michael Pierce. A negative note was struck .when Council Chairman Robert Millonzi informed Pierce that students would not be permitted to make motions at the meetings. Millonzi explained that he had been informed of this law in a letter he recently received from the State Attorney General’s office. Pierce, who aired a number of student complaints and requests at the meeting, his first, said he would meet with Student Association attorney Richard Lippes to discuss the matter. The position of College Council student representative was created just a few years ago yet the position is a relatively powerless one, geared more towards informing Council members of students’ feelings than creating substantive change. The student representative does not have a Classes or no classes vote. The Council, in discussing the 1978-79 Student Rules and Not 'till six Regulations as presented by Although Pierce’s negligible Associate Vice President for powers on the Council were Student Affairs Anthony trimmed, the members did agree Lorenzetti, heard arguments to hold forums after their concerning the permanent regularly scheduled meetings in vacation status of Rosh Hash ana and Yom Kippur (Jewish High Holydays), and gay rights. The Jewish Student Union, through Pierce, requested that the Rules state that “no classes or course of instruction” be held on the Holydays. University President Robert Ketter explained that while the Faculty-Senate here rejected such a resolution, the State University of New York (SUNY) Board of Trustees has mandated that no classes be held on those days and no action by the University need Ne e</ *>«* \o"g r --_—TIRED 91 Volunteer Drive: Thursday, September 14th 1 1 a.m. to 3 p.m. Squire Hall Fountain Area S 831-5552 community action corps Music & Beer Come Check It outl . ..

He claimed that his request was not an attack on the University and remarked that gays have been treated with respect here, but claimed the move would put the University on record “as a defender of the rights of all people.” Some Council members claimed that the Rules was not an appropriate place to make such a statement and the issue was tabled for the next meeting. Pierce was expected to make a presentation regarding Follett College Stores Inc., which is on the verge of signing a lease with the University to operate all campus bookstores and build a new $1 million bookstore on Amherst. Follett, which operates bookstores on over 40 campuses across the nation, lost its lease at SUNY at Stony Brook and Pierce was to speak about certain questionable actions taken by Follett there. Piece said he was unable to make the presentation because he has not received the necessary information yet. Ketter led discussion of the University’s 1979-80 budget request, which should reach as high as $106 million in state taxpayers’ money, up approximately S9.S million from the current budget. This figure assumes that close to $4 million tied up in the state supplemental will be released. Two new members, Harriet Williams Brown and Dr. James P.

More p rje of 18 Quad Student-barred cafeteria for administrative use only but we couldn’t come up with an attractive solution that was economically feasible, or by Harvey Shapiro Contributing Editor Each day of the year whether it be in the warmth of summer or the dead of winter the doors to Spaulding Cafeteria are locked, forcing students who live above the facility to detour outside ir quest of their rooms. Although the cafeteria is used for some storage, the 'main impetus behind the decision to keep the residents of Spaulding Quad out of the facility seems to be the official University banquets and dinners held there. In each of Ellicott’s six the ’cafeteria quadrangles, connects all wings of the quad. Thus, students are seen transversing the cafeterias at all hours. In Spaulding, doors to the cafeteria are locked permanently, subverting the architect’s desire to have all corners of the complex reachable without-going outside. According to Director of Food Service Donald Hosie, three years ago the University sought a where dinners and facility banquets could be held and Spaulding was chosen. “There has to be a location somewhere on this where private campus functions can be held,” Hosie said. “We chose the Spaulding Cafeteria because, at the time, Spaulding was empty.” However, since then, the Housing Office has moved residents into the Quad. Hosie added that he had I attempted to build a wall in the ifiiddle of the dining area to allow student traffic through but the idea was nixed by the Office of Facilities Planning for “very good reasons.” Vice President for Housing and Auxiliary Services Len Snyder explained that the wall was not built for aesthetic and cost considerations. “We explored, with Facilities Planning, the idea of building a walkway for traffic use by students,” he said. — SHUT OUT: The doors of Spaulding Cafeteria, used only for official University banquets and dinners, are locked permanently, greatly inconveniencing Ellicott residents. Here two frustrated students resort alas, to no avail. to the antics of our ancestors — aesthetically Snyder sympathizes “I sympathize with the students who are inconvenienced, but since the facility is used as a catering hall, it can’t be used as a walkway for the residents of the Quad. And, unfortunately, it is not feasible cost-wise to erect an enclosed' walkway the in cafeteria,” Snyder concluded. Snyder added that although the cafeteria is primarily used as a and special events banquet facility, it is by no means dormant most of the year. “Custodial Services uses the cafetia as a storage facility and there are many catered events in the cafeteria each month,” he said. “In fact, from September 9 to October 13 there are twelve scheduled for the events cafeteria.” Both Snyder and Hosie claimed that Food Service needs time to set up for the catered functions, thus precluding the possibility of letting the residents of Spaulding to use the facility as a passageway on days when there are no functions held there. “We need an extra day to set up for many of the banquets held there,” Hosie said, “and we can’t do the job if the cafeteria is being used as a corridor.” Snyder added that the banquets and the preparatory time consume most of the days in an average month. • Inconvenienced While there might be heavy use of the cafeteria, residents of Spaulding Quad are mot exactly thrilled over the spector of battling heavy winds and blinding snow in order to reach the safe confines of their rooms when the winter of ’79 hits Buffalo. “In the summer it’s okay,” said one freshman imagine student but I the winter it in wil I be a Her inconvenience Resident ~Ad visor (RA) fel t that the firit Tfloot- was off limits “because it’s the* President’s dining room.” Another RA claimed that the Hobsing Office, in explaining the locked doors, called the cafeteria “President Ketter’s personal lounge.” Another RA in the Quad, Ed Collins, said he is investigating the possibility of building a gate, or blinder, in the cafeteria, but so far nothing substantial has resulted. “I have talked with Richard Cudek (Director of Custodial Servic-es) building about something in the cafeteria and we. are still discussing the options open to us,” he said. Collins added that last year, only floors three, four and five had students living there, but this year, due to the heavy demand for housing, floors six through ten have been opened us. “This year some ninety-five people are affected,” he said. Although he expects to be inconvenienced in the winter, Collins said that he understands the reasons behind the decision to keep the cafeteria locked. “I can’t see them opening it up unless there is protection for the equipment valuable in the cafeteria,” he explained. Snyder also alluded to security as a reason for keeping student traffic out of the facility. “Food Service has to know that anything left there will be there when they return or else the facility is of no use to anyone,” he said. ' And, as if the residents of Spaulding Quad did not have enough problems, this year Housing, has taken away the TV lounge and the laundry facilities. Students in Spaulding Quad are now forced to travel to other Quads in the EHicott Complex in order to use these services. great ; �* t Pen points by Uni vanity Learning Cantar Perhaps you know someone who consistently produces good writing while you grind out each work with unsatisfactory results. You may come to believe that the Muses are selective about whose ear they choose to whisper in, or you may attribute writing skills to genetics, claiming there are born writers. You are not alone. For many, producing a good piece of writing is considered a stroke of luck. To them the writing process is mysterious and not within their control. No wonder. Writing is a complicated process. In writing, as opposed to verba] communication, you cannot present your ideas in a haphazard manner, or wait for your listener to ask for further clarification. Writing suspends your thoughts for examination, forcing clarity, brevity, and precision. Yet, as difficult and as mysterious as writing is, your writing needn’t be left more to the Fates than to you. The prupose of this weekly column is to uncover for you some mysteries of writing. We diall share with you relevant, current information about the writing process. In addition, we have planned columns that will tell you what professors look for in student writing, how to get your writing going when you are stuck, what professional writers think about writing, and coming in October, a step-by-step sequence of columns on how to write a research paper. If you clip each column, you will have on hand a concise text to refer to throughout the year, and in case you would like to pursue any topic, each week we will list references for further reading. And who are “we”? “We” are writing instructors and tutors of the University Learning Center and Writing Place in Baldy Hall.

Jackalone, who headed SA during the 1974-75 academic year, won the United States Student Association (USSA) national chair at the group’s first annual convention in Boulder, Colorado. The USSA is a product of the merger of the National Student Association and the National Student Lobby two lobbying groups that found they were fighting for the same things. Jackalone, former executive director of the National Student Lobby and also once president of the Student Association of the State University (SASU), won the chair easily, defeating rival Tom Duffy who had the support of a dissident faction at the stormy convention. The National Student Association has periodically suffered major internal disruptions that reflect changing issues and attitudes emerging on campus. In the mid-sixties, some members tried to move NSA into more anti-war and civil rights activism. In 1971, some wanted it to spend more time lobbying in Congress on those issues. And in those cases, the dissidents lost. Sometimes they left to form their own organizations. Thus were - ’ - rights, and the Ji>.

Ketter’s “State of the University” address came pouring forth Sunday as the SUMY Buffalo aristocracy gathered to dedicate the new Baird Pt. Amphitheater. The outdoor theater, rising dramatically from the murky waters ofLake LaSalle, is the gift of the William C. Baird family. The structure’s white marbled columns provided a romanesque backdrop for Ketter’s annual oration on where the University stands. Calling the amphitheater a “stunning example of private contribution” Ketter praised the dedication of the Baird family. “The Baird family has served for many decades,” the President stated. “They have served with uncommon talent and commitment.” Ketter’s speech, spiced here and there with stern reminders of the institution’s problems, bubbled with praise for the University’s service to the community and for the talent and dedication of its personnel. Noting that “a renewed emphasis” has been placed on public service by SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton, Ketter outlined a host of examples here, including the School of Architecture’s Theater District study for downtown Buffalo and the recent faculty offer to aid in the Niagara Falls Love Canal crisis. Hooliganism A crowd of about 200 sat and stood through the 90-minute program, which also featured the first annual “outstanding service awards” to ten members of the University community. Only a handful of students could be spotted in the crowd, which was dominated by administration members and representatives of the UB Foundation the fund raising arm of the University and planners of the event. Reports were that students informally “dedicated” the facility Thursday night with some old fashioned hooliganism that backed cars up on Millersport Highway. The Baird Pt. facility was conceived last winter as the eventual “crossroads’ or - * Point Amphitheater. University President Robert L. Ketter is shown in front of the facility during hit "State of the University" address Sunday afternoon. FROM RUIN TO RISE; The marble columns which once rested, graffiti-strewn and mud splattered, near Baird Hall on the Main Street Campus now rise magnificently from Lake LaSalle as part of the new Baird — discussion of public service, research levels and the emerging Academic Plan. Although he said he and the Chancellor have both urged greater research grant production, Ketter acknowledged that: “this has been accomplished not so much as a result of these urgings as by the realization among a growing number of faculty that outside support is essential to maintaining the vitality of their departments.” Before launching into his discussion of central gathering place of the Amherst Campus. Its dominant feature is the three ionic columns rescued from Buffalo’s old Federal Reserve bank when the bank was razed two decades ago.

A re-affirmation that the administrative salary structure is not competitive and that the University’s “flexibility” has been exhausted in its efforts to increase certain faculty salary levels. “We do, therefore have problems,” Ketter said in concluding. “I especially t want to say that we -do. Last year at a meeting of departmental chairmen, I was advised to deliver a positive message. I did so. As a result, some of the chairmen were left wondering if we were all working at the same institution.” Pointing to “an excellent faculty; dedicated staff; well qualified student body; and an interested community,” the President wound up the speech by naming the one word which best described the state of the University. “Determination.” — &8uch 35S Squire Hall Main Street Campus 9 am 5 pm stated — 1 The Spectrum Rhetorical flourishes Saying “the time has come for some rather blunt observations” about acadefnic planning here.

Cleaners complain of abuse, work overload Worker* have accuied the Custodial Service Office of overworking and abusing them. The 91 men and women responsible for cleaning dormitories, lounges, kitchens and bathrooms maintain that their work has been significantly increased, and that their union has not been responsive. Director of Custodial Services Richard Cudeck said, “Our primary goal is to accomplish tasks, and part of the tools are employees. What we can ask the employees to do is in the job description and guidelines that are in the union contract.” The cleaners complain that they are being abused. One cleaner said, “We aren’t treated like human beings.” Another remarked, “We are treated like buck-privates and our bosses are like mean sargeants.” For example, a few years ago Building Service Aides as they were known on the Main Street campus were responsible for cleaning one floor consisting of 18 bathrooms, 2 lounges, 2 kitchens and 2 corridors. Their responsibilities were increased to include 2 floors consisting of 30 bathrooms while another person did the rest of the floor. Now the cleaners’ responsibilities include 27 bathrooms, 3 kitchens, 3 lounges and 3 corridors. Main Street Supervisor Val Zielinski said cutbacks in spending by the University and Albany have caused the increase in workload. Cudeck said, “Shortages, in manpower because of the transition to Amherst have added to the problems.” The cleaners complain that both management and labor belong to the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) and as a result, the union is not responsive. Manager of Classified Services Employee Relation, Michael Lewandowski explained that a provision of the New York State Taylor Labor Law allows both labor and management to belong to the saige union, v Lewandowski said that in the early 1970’s the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division investigated the Custodial Services at UB. The State office combined two jobs, cleaners and building service aides, into one job group classification cleaners. Lewandowski said the Wage and Hour Division claimed that there was not enough of a difference between the two jobs to warrant different titles and a separate wage scale. The creation of one job title requires that men and women cleaners do the exact same type of work under their contract. This has produced some problems according to Assistant Director of Custodial Services Dewey Bush because some of the women cleaners arc unable to lift heavy objects. -Howard Tillman Statement of Intent Editorial Control Financial Obligations Circulation & Publication Schedules Method of Publication - — — Applications may be picked up Monday thru Friday in room 343 Squire Hall or 112 Talbert Hall from 9 am to pm Deadline for applications is Friday, Sept. 29th. • SUD For information, u\ board call 831-5534. i?UONEIHC JUHV ot Milo Mudwx i«vk» cmporatfoo �Football closes Clark ‘Hell hath no fury’ Lj g like a non-smoker burned t Bubble to open this Saturday Director of Recreation and Why would the gym be closed Bill Monkarsh has due to a football game at Rotary Spectrum that the bubble would not be open on Saturday, he declared “The Bubble will be •pen on Saturday .” Intramurals agreed to open the Amherst Field? “It’s a facility problem,” Campus Bubble early to offset a Monkarsh said.

Supporters of the measure, known as Proposition 5, deny that it is part of an anti-smoking campaign, but instead an effort designed to protect the health of non-smokers. Opponents, with a war chest well financed by the tobacco companies, call Proposition 5 a discriminatory deprivation of personal rights. The California measure would severely restrict smoking in the worl'olace. All people who share work rooms with two or more people would be prohibited from lighting up and those who do risk a mandatory $50 fine. Needless to say, the tobacco companies have a vested interest in Proposition S, that is, to ensure that it does not pass. To that end, five tobacco companies and the Washington, D.C.-based Tobacco Institute had contributed, as of June 30, more than $600,000 to the Campaign for Common Sense, the leading opposition group. Undoubtedly, as next month’s ballot draws nearer, the total is sure to have risen as the opposition group increases its television coverage with ads that show how badly written the proposed law is. Whatever the merits of the opposition group’s arguments, the severity of the smoking ban raises a question that has concerned health experts for many years the issue of stress. In the past few years the concern for the health of the non-smoker has prompted more and more cities to pass anti-smoking ordinances. Dr. Hans Selye, widely recognized as the father of stress testing, is concerned that such a ban is not without risk to the 54 million Americans who smoke. Selye, president of the International Institute of Stress in Montreal, Canada, feels that if you deny a chronic smoker a cigarette, that person is more likely to be involved in an accident, either on or off the job. “It's obvious that if someone is addicted to smoking and he’s waiting to smoke an hour and a half, it will decrease his efficiency,” Selye said. Dr. Brian Danaher, assistant professor of public health at the University of California Jn Los Angeles, agreed that smokers would “clearly have to learn new ways to reduce pressures on the job,” if they were enjoined from smoking. However, Danaher believes the period of transition during which smokers would have to learn new ways of coping without cigarettes would be temporary. -Pacific News Service Mon. - Frl. 12:00 noon 5:00 pm Newman • Center BUS LEAVES GOVERNORS IS MINUTES BEFORE & GOES THRU THE ELUCOTT TUNNEL * Newman Center Center Hours: 9:00 am 5:00 pm - �esdaywednesdaywedn editorial A shining example Departmenal averages decision to revise The State widening plans for Millersport Highway is not only a reasonable solution to a sticky problem but provides a shining example of how community organizing and citizen resistance can be made to work.

We realize that the a.m., for the purchase of textbooks. Since I am an "State of the University" address essentially means nothing. The fact early arrival here (everyday at 7:45), I appreciated that students were basically ignored also means very little. But there the 8 a.m. openings of past semesters because 1 need not be any head scratching in Capen Hall when anti-Ketter didn’t have to miss classes or stand in long lines after feelings surface again and again.

The message here aeems perfectly dear: “Commuters can suck eggs!” My second beef concerns the jerk-offs at Recreational Athletics because of an incident that occurred in early August at the Ellicott Tennis Vol. 29, No. 13 Courts.

After all, both Commuter plight - — Wonder not, Ketter constructive suggestion or action. Therefore, I would like to suggest some possible means of alleviating this lack of respect and concern. To begin with,The Spectrum might devote a section, a page perhaps (but not page IS), to commuters as an affirmative action program of sorts. Certainly, it will take a few issues to recruit some response, but I think there are at least 10,000 students who might think the effort worthwhile. The Commuter Affairs Task Force undoubtedly in mind when they purchase and resell bus tokens at a reduced price, but personally I would rather pay a few extra dimes if the sacrifice meant I could attend a commuter function such as a tobaggon run, a ski trip, a concert, or even a coffeehouse. Why not poll commuters, through The Spectrum to determine their opinions? Dorm students have the advantage of constant proximity, and creating social functions is significantly easier for the Housing residents. It will take a bit more work to achieve similar results for commuters, but it may produce a great deal more has good intentions gratifying interaction. Commuters, lets get on the bus! Rich Buckley _ The bitch is back - The Spectrum schools are part of the SUNY system and both schools generally cooperate in arranging student activities. Furthermore, we had been allowed to play during June and July by the attendants at the tennis courts after we had both shown our I.D. cards. Incredibly, we were denied the use of the courts one day in early August (at which time the courts were 90% unoccupied) unless my friend forked over two dollars to the dumb jock who was working there. A phone call to Recreational Athletics accomplished fnothing more than reasserting the frustration that is felt when one is a commuter who is consistently denied even the most minimal returns on the hundreds of dollars he has paid in student fees. It is truly frustrating to be paying large sums of cash for student activities that I cannot enjoy because I don’t live on campus, but it is appalling to be rudely denied the opportunity to make use of the facilities when I do find the spare time to do so.

Freshmen come here knowing how to tell the truth (or at least I did when I was a freshman) and we teach them how to lie. We teach them to lie to their professors in order to get a good mark; we teach them to lie to each other in order to get along; and worst of all we teach them to lie to themselves. One of the biggest lies we tell incoming freshmen is about what a university is. We tell him or her it is a center for learning when in actuality it is something of a state financed free-for-all against the backdrop of backstabbing powerplays of the prestige hungry intellegentsia. Another big lie is the Amherst campus, an overbuilt, under financed suburban boondoggle. A mint is being made at the expense of this University’s future. If we had any vision the money to be spent out at Amherst would be invested in developing television as a major teaching aid to bring information and knowledge to both the student here Guest opinion Now the latest big lie is the Buffalo mass transit just approvedOriginally designed as a heavy rail subway from the never to be built new campus of ECC city under Main Street to UB-South campus then as an El to UB-Amherst/Audobon, the line has been scaled down to a puny trolley car line that will be at street level in the central business district thus compromising the line’s right-of-way.

We are one or we are On English Dept, ills and students, TAs line — by Michael Sartisky TA, English Department - We of the university community have been treated in recent issues of The Spectrum to the rare but entertaining spectacle of two administrators snarling in public over the allocation of university resources. From his end of the contended bone Dean Joseph Alutto of the School of Management growls invective and insinuation of mismanagement at the English Department while down at the other, marrowless, end Chairman Gale Carrithers groans through clenched molars that the Management dines on roast beef while English must - suck at gristle and rind. I cannot claim to be impartial in this matter, but must assert that it is not Dean Alutto nor Chairman Carrithers who must bear the brunt of the present, and long-exising, crisis in composition and general, literacy, but eighty English TAs and the undergraduate students of this University' nothing. and residents of the metropolitan area as well. Gil Lawrence For the record let me include a fact which neither administrator mentioned, but of which I suspect they are both aware. In the last ten years over 100 TA and GA lines ahve been cut from the English Department. Most of these instructors taught Composition courses. In my department over the years TAs traditionally have taught half of the department’s undergraduates, mostly majors in such fields as ‘No' to abortion coverage To the Editor I would like to bring your attention to the health insurance concerning abortion coverage. First of all, I do not belong to any religion or philosophical group, but I have my own strong student feelings and reasons against it. So, all of you out there whatever reasons you have, whether it is your religion or conscience, etc., now, is the time to speak up. For one, I will not pay for that additional fee. management, nursing, and engineering if my experience in six composition courses has been at all typcial.. Additionally, in the last five years we have lost senior professors Barth, Fletcher, Girard, Cook, Altieri, Okpewho, Dry den, and Hamlet and have been permitted to hire but one assistant professor in all that time. I find it curious then to hear the English Department blamed for not providing sufficient numbers of instructors for composition courses when those instructors have been leeched away, “creatively reallocated" (a Ketter euphemism) to such departments as Management while at the same time we are expected to service those departments and render their majors capable of at least scrawling out a grammatically correct memo. If we are to fulfill Dean Alutto’s demand for service how is this demand to be reconciled with the English Department having been stripped of the resources to provide those sevices? Thongchai Sompolpong Busing blues To the Editor. There is a great need for more extensive bus service. There are not enough buses in the morning. Students should not have to be late for class because all the buses are filled. (Taking an earlier bus is not always possible, when you have a class on Amherst, and your next class is on Main St. or vice versa.) We should not have to suffer because of the University’s and Albany’s shortsightedness. SaHie A. The remaining English TAs and the undergraduate student body meanwhile must suffer the consequences of the academic planning of President Ketter and Vice-President Bunn which allocates resources according to the demands of the job market and which is not derived Doerfler Senseless bus scene To the Editor This is about a scene that is senselessly performed several times a day at the Flint Loop bus stop; Bus No. 2 (or two or three of them) pulls into the bus stop. The crowd surges up to the entrance. A terse dialogue ensues between the driver and the Pick 'em up Bluebird crowd. Shouts of “Main Street”, “Ellicott,” “not going,” “oh shit,” etc. are heard. Some people are trying to sqiggle out of the crowd and some into it. There’s much confusion about which way the bus is going. When the bus pulls out these are the same people going the wrong way and some who should have been on the bus aren’t. Ask the bus drivers! To solve this mess, all that the drivers have to do is to use a different sign in either direction; make it 2E going to Ellicott and 2M going to Main Street; or use black numerals going to Main Street and red numerals going to Ellicott; or make it No. 2 going to Main Street and No. 3 going to Ellicott; or just hang the sign upside down on busses going to Ellicott! study at “the spine” now that we have no Library facilities at the Ellicott campus. Bus service should not be left to the whim of the particular driver (and should apply to all scheduled stops). I personally witnessed this poor service on Thursday, September '7 and I sincerely hope I shall not witness it again. E. Sasidhar Laurie A. Hewitt The art To the Editor.

Thanks. / Lower Case H from a philosophy committed to general education. Over the years we have been pressured to force-register students into our classes in excess of the limits which were set to maximize instructional effectiveness. That number, once set at twenty, later increased under protest to twenty-two, has gone as high as thirty-five and more. Writing cannot be taught effectively by mass spoonfeeding as apparently, according to Dean Alluto, management can. It requires an attention to individual needs and problems which cannot be performed in a lecture. Yet Dean Alutto does not find it inconsistent to question the quality of the compositional instruction students receive in the English Department while urging that class size be increased to worsen it. The real issue at stake, however, is not composition, but education itself. Nor is the widespread poverty of literacy solvable by more composition courses and instructors any more than economic poverty is solvable by more police. Teaching a student to write a concise declarative topic sentence will not make him literate. Literacy is the ability not only to read and write, but to interpret, analyze, critique and synthesize creatively. Organizing an essay is but the technical surface of the process and is too easily imitated and mistaken for literacy itself. Literacy simply is not acquirable in a semester or two of compostion; it requires four years of general undergarduate education. That the School of Management and too many other disciplines require no more than a course or two is a sad comment on their conception of the function of a university and of their commitment to the education of their students. Non-english majors are neither required nor encouraged to enroll in upper level English courses, or in Philosophy, History, Modern Languages or the other social sciences and humanities. The reason seems plain enough. Neither the University administration, nor the Deans of such schools as Management, nor the undergraduate advisors have a notion that education extends beyond the immediate demands of pre-professional or vocational training. If it seems I accuse too widely or indiscriminately, examine Dr. Ketter’s statement of mission for the University or Dr. Bunn’s Academic Plan. Only look beyond the rhetorical but insincere genuflections to the “core disciplines” and look to see where they have been allocating resources. See also how few non-majors ate enrolled in upper level corses in the disciplines that provide literacy, in the humanities, the social sciences. Self-inflating chest-thumping about the prestige of individual departments is just so much breaking wind compared to the substanstive issue of how much commitment a department has to the general education of its students. National rankings on the basis of job placement do not indicate if students are really being educated because the job market cares less for the individual than it does for the function he will perform. It is the graduate and professional schools Where such specialization properly belongs, if even there. Certainly the undergraduate experience has a more important educational role to fulfill than ensuring vocational placement. Rather than witness Deans and Chairpersons worrying at each other’s throat over the allocation of internal resources I would like to hear a public debate over the content and philosophy of the academic plan under which this University is laboring and for which Dr. Ketter and Bunn are best held accountable. �ENGINEERING AND HANDHELD CALCULATORS: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY.

The Soviet Union promised to leave as soon as the situation was 'normalized.' . — intensify their control. The parallels between Soviet actions and those of the U.S. with its 500.000 troops in Vietnam were striking. The U.S. talked about sending the troops to Vietnam “at the invitation of Vietnamese government” to help defend it from “subversion” and foreign aggression.” The Soviet Union spoke about acting om the. “invitation of Czech authorities” to “help defend Czechoslovakia from outside attack.” In both cases the military interventions were designed to retain the respective spheres of influence intact and to prevent the people from achieving independence and — IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON STUDENT MEDICAL INSURANCE PROGRAM self-determination The regime of Alexander Dubcek, whom Moscow deposed, had come to in power Czechoslovakia in the wake of widespread dissatisfaction with the previous regime.

Thompson has attracted national attention with his bizarre, irreverant political reporting for Rolling Stone. He has developed a writing style which he calls: intense, demented journalism... or "gonzo". "Hunter Thomspon is to American journalism what Waylon Jennings is to country music. An outlaw from the usual form and approach." His books and many articles printed in Rolling Stone Magazine (for whom he no longer works though they keep his name on the masthead) have made him a folk hero. He is recognized coast to coast. He is labeled as either the finest political writer in this country or a depraved misfit to be denied press credentials at all costs. His books include, Hells Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga", "Fear & Loathing in Las Vagas: A Strange Journey to the Heat of the American Dream" and "Fear & Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72." " �Incumbent confident NYEA, UUP struggle to represent SUN Y faculty by Elena Cacavas Contributing Editor An election date for the right to represent some 16,000 State University of New York (SUNY) members remains faculty unresolved following an informal hearing September 7 before the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) in Albany. Representatives of the New York Educators Association (NYEA) remain locked in a struggle to represent some 16,000 and professional academic employees at this and other State University Centers. John Milton, Director of Communications for United University Professions the incumbent (UUP) stated, “An bargaining agent, election date would probably have been set last Thursday, but an issue was brought up which will delay matters.” Milton told The Spectrum that the Committee on Interns and Residents, a 400 member group of upstate and downstate medical centers, considered forming their own representative unit, although UUP feds it can “well serve the interests of this Committee.” Milton said negotiations wen suspended. The uncertainty led the state to hold up on the dection. Although a formal hearing date hat been set for later this month, NYEA and UUP representatives note the chain of delays that the postponement has induced. Said UUP President, Samuel Wakshull, “We are disappointed that we must wait until at least September 22 for the next PERB hearing before an election date is established. UUP desires an expeditious resolution of this matter so that we can proceed with the next round of negotiations with SUNY." an election to be called According to NYEA Area Field Representative James Schmotts, a number of factors prompted his unit to challenge the incumbent. Cited as a major concern was UUP’s “arbitrary Intrusion” to charge all professors membership dues. Claimed Schmotts, “Of about 16,000 eligible professors, Arbitrary Mtnnioa 4000 are UUP members. The unit, The present UUP contract however, maintained that it could expires in June 1979 and the next collect the equivalent of statewide round of negotiations it scheduled dues from the other 12,000.” As to begin this November. However, of March 1978, $1.7 million had representatives cannot meet with been collected from non-UUP Iht estate to negotiate a new affiliates. contract until after the election. Other factors mentioned by UUP’s bargaining claim was Schmotts include complications the UUP governing challenged when NYEA gathered within and presented to PERB more than structure, the feeling that UUP is the 5000 signatures necessary for not a sufficient voice for those Let a TI calculator help you make more efficient use of your time.

Voters | will be offered three choices: 5 representation by UUP or NYEA, SI or no representation at all. A minimum SO percent majority will determine the winner. “We believe that the no representation alternative in the election is a very real possibility,” said Milton. He explained that diould this occur, a one year “waiting period” will be instituted from the time the contract expires. During this period, no union would be allowed to campaign. Ideologically, the basic difference between UUP and NYEA is that the latter is not affiliated with the AFL-CIO and “other competing unions In private industry,” according to Schmott. He explained, “as a professional union, our job is to serve exclusively the educators.” Milton claimed that UUP is “a labor union as such," explaining that in some people’s minds, UUP’s affiliation with the AFL-CIO lowers its status. He believed that NYEA will appeal to “this kind of thing. They are less associated with the labor movement.” Disaffiliation Claiming that UUP is the largest bargaining agent for higher education in the country, Milton explained that it formed from the 1972 merger between NYEA and the American Federation of Teachers. “After the merge, UUP developed and voted to disaffiliate itself. We now believe that NYEA would like to displace UUP,” Milton said. Nevertheless, UUP is confident that it will succeed on its past merits. Milton stated, “We feel at this point, with recent pay increases and growing membership, that UUP will probably win although we are not positive of this.” He added, “We are virtually positive, however, that NYEA cannot win. We believe they are adopting the role of spoilers hopipg for a ‘no representation’ win so that they can get their foot in the door.” r _ , —' Texas Instruments ClW»%a«lrmniiwnlilncoiponl«il » IMPORTED CHINESE EMC » ' Specialty Packettes | INCORPORATED • KOREA JAPANESE LAOS THAILAND VIETNAM‘PHILIPPINES INDIA * j * I j Alto Froth Vegetables US'S nwnM rtuil OMINTAi.

Small and independent, CAC was a public-action group which was controlled and operated by students Its mission was to encourage and provide for active student involvement in improving education, health and welfare services in the metropolitan area of Buffalo. CAC undertakes campaigns to solve various community problems. Some of its major projects arc the child care program, the health care program, the drug and youth project, social action (Hunger Task Force), older adults, legal and welfare, education, Be-a-Friend, West Seneca Developmental Center, and work with the House of Runaways. are placed in CAC works as a resource contact. Student programs baaed on their preferences. Several programs formerly within CAC, including Sunshine House and New York Public Interest Research Group, became successful enough to separate from the organization. “Once a program can run by itaelf,” said CAC director Gary Montante, “we pull out and start another.” Before any program separates, however, the student volunteers are thought of, said Montante. The education of the volunteer is as important to CAC as the benefits the community obtains from the projects. is now accepting applications for positions in our ESCORT SERVICE and SPEAKER'S BUREAU pick up applications at these locations: UB Anti-Rope Task Force Office 101 Townsend Office, Main St. Johnson and Johnson “CAC used to have a band-aid type of effect,” said Director Montante. “It used to just cover up the problem.” When the service organization altered its mission, its name also changed to reflect the new stance from Community Aid Corps to Community Action Corps. At present, “the main goal of CAC is to tighten up the organization; to make it better rather than expanding it,” says Montante. CAC is actively seeking new members. The organization is mailing newsletters to all freshmen to familiarize them with CAC and Thursday marks the start of the annual volunteer drive. “Most volunteers want experiences with these programs,” indicated Montante. “They want more than just attending classes, going back to their dorms and doing work.” The CAC volunteer must be “dedicated, aware of the time commitment involved and have a good personality, especially if they’re dealing with a program like the House of Runaways,” MOntante said. 11 om 3 pm SA Office 111 Tolbert Hall, Amherst 9 om 5 pm - - Big shows The CAC is funded by the Student Association (SA) and receives additional funds from the profit of weekend movies. CAC’s major events include the Winter Carnival and the annual Dance Marathon for Muscular Dystrophy. Last year the dance marathon raised $6,900, possibly the “largest affair in the history of Squire Hall,” said Montante. CAC has received frequent praise for its valuable programs. The organization has beetybonored by such personalities as former Major of Buffalo Stanley Makowski, as well as receiving a letter of commendation by Robert Kennedy. “This is the kind of thing that makes working for CAC really nice,” said a grinning Montante.

The comm itte criticized proposed funding increases to the Faculties of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, the School of Management and (he Law school at the expense of the Faculties of Arts and Letters, Social Sciences, and Educational Studies, among others.

Little continuity The GSA contends that such a will interfere with the goal of Administration’s policy establishing an national University outstanding Center. The organization therefore recommends that a new plan be drawn up with added emphasis on the “instructional end of the academic units.” Coupled with the GSA’s Bunn’s plan, GSA Vice President of Administrative has Hyde, Affairs Edward condemned an Academic Plan for the Faculty of Health Sciences drawn up by the Deans of each Health Science School and the No stance Instead, the GSA contends, Vice President of the Faculty of judgements about the future of Health Sciences, F.

The revised process mandates the following for Ketter; Chancellor Clifton Wharton will ask Ketter - in September of 1979 if he wishes to be considered for re-appointment. If Ketter decides against another term, the search committee process will probably begin. If he decides in favor of another term, Ketter must prepare a statement analyzing his own performance by October 15. An Ad Hoc committee to review Ketter’s performance then convenes and sends to the Dean Alutto responds— P. 7 — - / Cockroaches invade Ellicott—P. 9 In the fold In all probability, an “acting” president would be named in June while the search process begins. Since searches generally consume almost a year, the University will be headed by a temporary, instead of lame duck, president for at least a year. But it could he longer. The president could possibly wait until September to announce that he will not seek another term. Autumn is not an ideal time to begin a search for a new president, particularly one for a major American university. Thus, the year-long search procedure could stretch itself out. Of course, all of it could be irrelevant if Ketter announces early, perhaps by the end of this year, that he will not seek re-appointment. A new president could be in the fold by the end of Ketter’s term: June 30, 1980. / Theater District unfolds—Centerfold �5 Morale declining | English Dept, blames problems on University sectors Kline stated, “I think we are dealing with a short term [Janie Contributing Editor The department was notified of tne enrollment increase late, and “We feel very threatened.

No. 074031 CH - Fantasize walking into your neighborhood supermarket; You find huge posters on the walls announcing that the supermarket chain has decided to help the nation’s farmers go organic. You push your basket to the produce aisle, once the exclusive domain of foods grown the chemical way but today there are lush fruits > and vegetables grown organically, withoug any artificial fertilizers or pesticides, selling at regular supermarket prices. “This program is one of our achievements,” the greatest posters proclaim, “which proves to our customers that all these agricultural products are really natural, and therefore tastier.” The fantasy seems ludicrous in America in 1978. But walk into one of the ultramodern supermarkets in Switzerland’s $3-billion co-op Migros supermarket chain and that’s exactly what you may find, posters, and all. Ever since its customers declared overwhelmingly in a 1970 survey that they’d prefer to buy organically grown foods, the Migros chain has launched a nationwide campaign to help satisfy them. A special team of technicians is teaching farmers to shift toward organic methods in the fields, and the 2,000 farmers who are participating get preferential treatment over conventional chemical farmers when they sell their crops. While some of the special produce, tagged “MigrosS-Production.” is already strictly organic, most if it comes from farms that are still in transition: They’re cutting back on chemicals , - - - Pacific News Service — Open everyday till 4 em 836-8905 (Acrossfrom Capri Art Theatre) - by Daniel Zwerdling — and using more organic methods, but they’re not yet completely weaned from the chemical habit. “Such a conversion,” said a food industry executive close to the Migros program, “needs an education of many years.” No pesticides The Migros campaign is just one reflection of the growing movement for organic agriculture in Europe. It symbolizes the dramatic differences between the climate Europe toward in alternative methods of agriculture and that in the United States. To Americans raised on the lessons of agribusiness, “organic” means a backyard garden or a natural food store bin full of worm-eaten tomatoes. “From a practical point of view,” said James lacono, a U.S. Department of research Agriculture administrator, “talking about organic agriculture has no bearing on reality. We can’t start turning back time and science.” But as policy makers and scientists in Europe watch problems mounting on the farms problems such as soaring chemical costs, environmental pollution from fertilizers and pesticides and growing resistance of insects to potent pesticides they are toward turning sophisticated organic methods as a potential soltttkm. Attribute it to accidents of history or politics or topography, but massive chemical-intensive farms have never gobbled up the snail family farms in Europe quite as voraciously as in the United States. With their Old World roots still intact, many farmers have retained, or rediscovered, a fierce committment to a more natural system in their fields. — - 1 visited organic farms sprinkled across Switzerland and Germany with a contigent of American skeptical farmers, agriculture extension agents and the Massachusetts state secretary of agriculture. They were storybook farms, 80 to 200 acres, with centures-old timbered barns, alabastered houses, women baking thick-crusted, whole-grain breads in brick ovens and profusions of flowers planted in the fields. Skeptics impressed “I don’t think I’ll learn much,” one U.S. agriculture extension agent scoffed. But as the tour trekked from one commercial organic farm to another, the U.S. experts saw years of agribusiness teachings shattered before them in the fields. “I don’t believe that anybody can grow any crop, 1 mean any crop, without pesticides and not get wiped out by diseases and insects,” said University of Massachusetts extension agent Roger Harrington. But as they walked through the organic fields, the U.S. experts shook their heads in disbelief. “The thing that’s amazing to me,” said Winston Way, extension agent at the University of Vermont, “is that I hive never seen healthier plants. I mean the plants in these organic farms are luxuriant.” And even the toughest skeptics conceded they were impressed by the organic farmers sophisticated methods of fertilizing their crops, organically. In the U.S., use of fertilizers petro-chemical-based has more than doubled on major crops in the past dozen years; in Europe, the organic farmers grow their nitrogen fertilizer in the fields, by planting special blends of up to four different “cover” crops, which suck nitrogen from —continued on page 18— �Libertarian thicd party | hoping to gain position f on November ballot } by Joel DiMarco City Editor the Traditionally electoral struggle for the Governership of the State of New York has been | between the Democrats and the Republicans. The Liberal and Conservative parties are usually on the sidelines, supporting either candidate. major party Gubernatorial candidates of the four parties will be chosen in tomorrow’s primary election and will automatically participate in the November election. However, state law allows anyone to participate in the November election provided they can get 20,000 names on a petition by September 19. Among the parties trying to get enough names are the Communist party, the U.S. Labor party, at least two different Mazi parties and the Liberation Party. The Libertarian Party has on Gary Greenberg its ticket (Governer), James Franz (Lt. Governer), Judith White (Comptroller) and Dolores Grande (Attorney General). The basic platform of the party is the government reduction of influence over people’s daily affairs. “Every study done has shown that once government takes particular over . any operation the cost of running that operation skyrockets,” said Greenberg. “We would contract out for almost all state services.” Competition Under Greenberg’s proposals, private companies would bid for contracts to do many of the things now handled by the state’s civil service system. Garbage collection, secretarial services, police protection and even the prison and operation of correctional facilities would turned over to the lowest bidder. “That way, people would have an incentive to do the best possible job for the lowest possible cost or risk losing their contract,” said Greenberg. Greenberg believes that all schools, even this University, should be privately owned. The state would then give every simply be student an education voucher to be turned into the school of his choice. The school in turn would cash the vouchers with the state. The school that could attract the most vouchers would make the most money while a less capable school would eventually be forced out of business its by competition. the party’s most Perhaps startling concept is its plan for revitalizing the Big Apple. New York City would be dissected into its burroughs and Manhattan made into a free trade zone like Hong Kong and Singapore. The counties of Brooklyn (Kings) and Queens would be combined with Suffold and Nassau counties to the sovereign form a 51st state - state of Long Island. “Such a state would be the sixth or seventh largest state in this country,” said Greenberg. Decriminalization While the party’s economics may be considered conservative, its legal reforms are not. Greenberg claims that most crime could be controlled by the decriminalization of victimless crimes. Marijuana, heroin, obscene material and prostitution would all be legalized under a Libertarian government to save the cost of prosecuting people for what Greenberg believes they should have a right to do. Greenberg is by profession a trial lawyer for the Legal Aid Society. Of the other candidates on the ticket, Franz is a Rochester computer programmer, White is a Roxbury business woman, and Grande is a Manhattan attorney. The party itself was formed in late 1971 and supported a presidential candidate in the last presidential election. The candidate received' one electoral vote which is one more than all the other minor parties. Most recently, the party was very active in northern California in helping to get Proposition 13 passed. Presently the Libertarians are supporting about 60 candidates in elections in some 30 states. The party is completely confident that it will have enough signatures on its petitions to be placed on the November ballot. GSA...

School of Management The September 8, 1978 issue of The Spectrum included a rather lengthy report of Dr. Gail Carrithers’ feelings of dissatisfaction with resources allocated to the English Department. Unfortunately, while individuals are quoted extensively about the irrationality of resource allocations to professional schools, including Management, apparently no staff member thought it appropriate to seek out another perspective. Consequently, I would like to offer a different framework within which to examine difficulties being experienced by the English Department. Reported comments focused upon the following: 1. Problems with management advisement. Advisement of management students occurs through the efforts of both DUE and SOM personnel. They work closely together and, given the meager staff allocations, do a remarkably effective job of providing student guidance which is consistent with national accreditation and local school policies. Recommendations concerning the importance of “composition courses” result from (a) the academic judgement of management faculty, (b) general professional accreditation requirements, and (c) a history which students in in enrolling non-composition English courses often discovered that little writing was required and virtually no guidance or feedback was received as to composition technique or style. I do not know what is being referred to as “narrow” advisement. It may be of interest to note that as a result of accreditation standards no management student is allowed to take more than 60 of his/her undergraduate program in percent management and, in practice, due to limited offerings as well as the urging of advisors, this figure is closer to 40 percent. Since I know of few similar attempts to ensure breadth of academic experience to non-professional school majors perhaps a more appropriate reference would have been to the narrow vocationalism existing outside of management. 2. Despite frantic assertations to the contrary, upper level courses in English are not the equivalent of composition courses. If anyone can demonstrate that an English literature course requiring a 10-15 page paper is the functional equivalent of composition course I would find that very impressive. Of course, if they were equivalent then faculty teaching undergraduate literature courses should not object to teaching composition courses. 3. The fact that the English Department failed to plan for an increased number of freshmen may have something to do with administrative skills but has nothing to do with the School of Management. Similarly, it is clear that increased demand can be accommodated in at least two ways; larger section sizes or allocation of more instructional resources away from other, lower priority activities. Once again, the inability to successfully confront such a problem has nothing to do with the School of Management. English Department academic basis I can find little for a categorical position against 'assigning senior faculty to composition courses or any other introductory courses. Of course, if full-time faculty in English are incapable of teaching composition then these courses should no longer be offered by English Department faculty or instructors. If the full-time faculty cannot teach in the area how can they supervise TAs? I suspect the department might hestitate to formally put forth such a recommendation. On an justification 5. The English Department does not understand why the School of Management should receive new resources. The series of assertions related to this position is difficult to follow. Listed in Table 1 are data for both units. Since this information is available for any units on campus 1 assume the data was either forgotten or misread. I should note that at the undergraduate level the School of Management is only an upper division program. Therefore,' our large classes mean that management majors take “electives” with 40 to 60 other students. We do not have the luxury of offering seminars “even if only 10 people are comparable interested.” In addition, there appears to be some questions about whether our demand is real or the result of (presumably low) “admissions standards.” This is fascinating for a number of reasons. First, in order to minimize the need for the new lines the School of Management has consciously reduced its enrollment* between 1976 and 1978. In MFC alone the actual enrollments in management have been forced down by about 40 percent. The average QPA for undergraduate students accepted into Management is about 3.2 and we have been accepting no more than one out of every three applicants into our day program. Since 1976 overall management full-time enrollments have decreased by 5—10 percent. We are not particularly proud of the fact that we turn away increasingly significant numbers of well qualified students, but we are convinced that as a School we are doing our part not to distort the basic structure and functioning of this University. Our objective is not to maximize growth based on current student demands but, instead, within the budgetary framework available to the School, to provide the highest quality of our programs. We firmly believe that the unwillingness or inability of any department to do its part in minimizing the impact of enrollment shifts on the quality and variety of academic experiences available to students is to be deploed. As faj as quality of programs in management is concerned, the last two evaluations of Schools of Management/Business available to us have the School fated as one of the six best in the Northeast and top 30 in the nation (there are 480 accredited schools). Since these studies were conducted at a time when we were one of the least well supported schools significant enough to merit ranking, that would seem to be a very positive comment on our quality. 6. The English Department seems to feel that if Interestingly, the English Department actually has not increased class sizes for-composition courses. the School of Management is to grow at all, then the During 1977-78 the class limit was 22. The English Department must “cease flourishing.” 1 hope that is really not the case, but if horticultural department planned to lower tnfe. litriit to 20. When faced with the unanticipated higk student demand metaphors are appropriate, the department might the department then decided to retain the 22 limit. well discover that with a bttle judicious pruning If 1 understand the logic, liap the English regrowth will lead to a stronger, more bountiful Department “planned” to drop the limit to 11 it flowering. Under such conditions, the department would now be asserted the section size doubled as a might also discover that there is indeed room for a response to demand. vigorous, first-rate School of Management, and that Finally, I should- observe that according to the relationship between units is symbiotic.

Furthermore, the need for extra decisions to limit growth in order to preserve the sections might have completely disappeared if class academic heart of this University.

The professional schools in general and the course.

As an Israeli and as a son of a Jewish Eastern-European family, some members of which were murdered during the Holocaust, I find myself very concerned with the future of the Lebanses Christians. I was more than pleased to see in the first issue of The Spectrum of the academic year (September 1, 1978) a letter concerning the Lebanese Christians and their dangerous situation. The writer, Ben Avramchaim, assumed that Prime Minister Begin would gain politically from his world appeal to support the Lebanese Christians. On the contrary, I believe that Begin expresses his personal feelings as a survivor of the Holocaust tragedy and his concern to the future of the Christian minority in Lebanon. We, students and faculty, whether Christian or Jewish, should support Begin’s cry and assure the Lebanese Christians that their “Masada” will not fall. Adam Wishkovsky Rockin' Robin To the Editor: We wish to clarify a point in the SURVIVAL Cock Robin is undoubtedly one of best local rock bands. Those who have not yet seen them are in for a treat. We fail to understand why writer Tim Switala finds them so “bafflingly popular.” They are popular for a reason. They’re competent and versatile musicians. Cock Robin not only has an immensely large and varied repertoire of “stock” songs, but they also add new material to their act frequently. They are never boring as they change their sets around and interchange the songs every time they play. They also have several fine originals which are always in demand. “Little Asia” is a far cry from being “beat to death;” in fact. I’ve seen angry crowds when CR did not play it. Like every good band, they have that one special song that everyone always requests. Perhaps Mr. Switala forgot that even big-name bands play their same originals again and again, until they, to are “beat to death.” As for Mr. Switala’s brief description of what to expect to hear from Cock Robin we find his statement pathetically sparse, as well as innacurate. To our knowledge, CR has never done a Rod Stewart song, and the only ELO they play is “Do Ya.” Their remake of “I Fought the Law” is exciting and vibrant just watch and listen to the crowd during this number! (one more time!) But you can also expect to hear excellent renditions of songs by Cheap Trick, ZZ Top, Mott the Hoople, David Bowie, Steely Dan, Eddie Money, Ted Nugent, Head East, Foghat, etc., etc., ETC.! Cock Robin should not be missed, and anyone who saw them at The Pul last year-(one of the few times it was crowded) can ... - attest to that. We were sorry to see Mr. Switala “put down” Cock Robin, as well as several other area groups. We feel, to use Mr. Switala’s own words, “any and all bands should be experienced.” However, people would be more willing to see these bands if more encouraging reviews were printed.

The fact that cockroaches do not occur in uniform numbers throughout the dorms, with certain areas such as the Governors Residence Hall virtually escaping the problem, appear to back claims that Custodial Services alone is not to blame. Ellicott is particularity susceptible to bugs since far more cooking goes on in the lounges on almost every floor. Also, part of the complex is occupied year that student cooperation is essential in insect control. Cudeck spoke of the preventative measures that Custodial Services is currently employing, such as its purchase of S400 of insecticide to be sprayed on refrigerators as they are brought into the dorms.

A smelly business Bush admitted that extermination procedures are inconvenient and often unpleasant to residents. The process uses residual sprays which leave an odor and generally remain effective for 14-20 days. This spray (which Bush emphasized is approved by the University Department of Environmental Health and Safety)is harmless to plants, but small animals must be removed and all food securely covered. This summer the University purchased a fogger, which spreads a mist throughout the infested area and flushes out all varieties of insects. While students are advised to vacate their rooms Hiring initial spraying, after fogging residents cannot return for minimum of six hours and preferable overnight.

Although the long awaited shelters were installed approximately one year late the reasons are unknown to Vice-President for Facilities and Planning John Neal. Furthermore, “The parts for the shelters were here for a few months before the installation actually began,” he said. The two new shelters cost approximately $7,000 each and were installed by the University Maintenance Department. Installation according to Assistant Vice-President of Finance and Management Paul A. Bacon, “took four men about ten days to complete the project.” The 150-200 person capacity shelters are basically composed of plexiglass and aluminum and have steel supports 30 inches below the ground. Their structure and design is typical of many bus shelters measuring 10 feet by 45 feet. The shelters were designed with openings at each end to simplify the confused loading and unloading procedures. Busses that go to the Main Street Campus dock at one end while busses destined for the Ellicott and Governots complexes stop at the other. Skirt-less One of the details yet to be completed on the shelters is the addition of “skirts,” siad Neal. The “skirts” refer to remoyeable partial enclosures that will be put around the bottom of the shelters to alleviate the wind and drifts in winter. The “skirts” can be removed in summer to allow for increased air circulation. They will be affixed to the shelters at the'beginning of next month, according to Neal. Many students questioned agreed that the winter wind was definitely the worst thing about waiting for a bus, and were glad to see the new shelters. Pre-Med Sophmore Mike Vela commented, “It got pretty cold during those 15-20 minute waits for the busses last year.” When asked about newly-proposed walkways from buildings to the shelters, Neal said they have been suggested for four specific locations, but funds will not be available in the near future.

Due to shifts in regional and national trade markets, the patrons and their wallets thinned.

Levine observed: “There are many senior faculty members who want to teach composition, a- number of full-time have professors volunteered.” Levine maintained that professors were teaching composition “long before the crunch began” and doubted any significant effect on morale. Graduate students within the department pointed to spirits sinking in their own ranks. Said one third year student, “There is a fundamental. conflict that is demoralizing.

This summer, a conference attended by more than 350 delegates from student governments across the nation gave birth to the National Women’s Student Association Tonight, Monday, Sept. 11th 7:30 pm (MWSA). The organization is affiliated with the United States Student Association fUSSA) the product of a merger between the former National Student Association and the National Student Lobby. Michele Sobers, age 25, a member of the Executive Committee of the Student Association of the State University (SASU), was elected chairperson of NWSA. Sobers is currently attending SONY at Oswego where she majors in Communications. z NWSA will “deal specifically \yitlv women’s rconyerns on campuses,” according to Washington D.C.

The August conference was a forum for ideas and issues, she said,/ shaping the future plans of the association. — FREE ADMISSION: » , Nee <//» ERA, abortkm Focusing on three major concerns, NWSA will deal with passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, defending women's right to abortion, and safe-guarding affirmative action programs. The association will also take an interest in individual campus problems such as rape, health cam, and the implementation of women’s studies 0 \ e e.°\ 6 ' oOS programs. Work has already begun on the ERA and abortion rights campaigns. NWSA is concentrating its lobbying efforts on the Senate, where a vote on ERA extension is pending. The association has joined with the National Organization of Women, the National Women’s Political Caucus, and other similarly concerned groups to put pressure on key “on-the-fence” Senators. The right to abortion is being threatened and the NWSA will fight to defend it, Pishda said. In New York State, NWSA organized women to attend an abortion rights rally in Akron, Ohio to demonstrate for the use of Medicaid funds for abortion. In addition, “we are setting up grass roots organizations on campuses across the country educational forums, presentations, workshops everywhere,” Pishda remarked. In light of the recent Bakke decision, NWSA feels that affirmative actions programs need safe-guarding. Most of the association's work with affirmative action will be handled jountly with the Third World Caucus, an organization also affiliated with USSA. The focus will be on all minorities, including women.

The proposed new bubble, costing between $70—75,000 annually in rentals alone, would be built adjacent to the present structure. -Black TOUCHDOWN!!! This was the scene Saturday in Cortland after Bulls' back Mark Gabryel scored a RARl seeks ‘yes’ on new Amherst bubble Bulls’ defeated opt ion, A proposal that would ease the overcrowding of UB’s decaying recreational facilities is creeping slowly through the State Legislature. which is not expected for at Legislative approval of (he plan least six months would allow UB to construct a second Bubble adjacent to the current structure on the Amherst campus. Additional money became available to the Athletic department this summer through Governor Carey’s newborn support of Amherst construction. Groundbreaking on Phase I of the new gym, the 10,000-seat fieldhouse, is slated for late this calendar year, but that building will not contain .major recreational facilities. As a result, Chairnfan of Recreation. Athletics and Related Instruction Sal Esposito has recomrnendedihat another bubble be built. Because of high resurfacing costs, the new bubble must be built on the same parWhg lot as the Ketterpillar new stands. A polyurethane surface, which is easier on an athlete’s legs, would cost an additional $90,000 to install, according to a local firm. Esposito originally recommended a geodesic dome for permanent use. This type of structure would be less expensive in the long run but would require a greater initial outlay of cash. “A geodesic dome would cost 5500,000 to $750,000 and would be permanent,” Esposito said, “while a bubble runs between $70,000 and $75,000 per year just for rental. Just to put a new layer of skin on it would cost around - - $100,000.” A parallel situation: UB has already $pend more money renting the Ridge Lea campus than it would have cost the University to purchase However, Esposito stated that a permanent structure can not be built on Amherst new because it is not on the campus’s Master Plan. Aware that a new bubble would just be another stopgap measure, Esposito said, “You’ve got to go with what you’ve got-.” Walter Zelasko, District Manager for Commercial Sales for Birdair Structures of Cheektowaga, the firm that built the Bubble, revealed that his firm has offered to build a new bubble, reminding the University that the five year life expectancy of the Ketterpillar has almost elapsed. “But it still could stand five more years,” Zelasko said. “We routinely follow up on our prior proposals.” The Bubble was nicknamed the Ketterpillar in a 1975 contest in The Spectrum. Mark Meltzer U/B SPORTLITE early in the fourth period. Gabryel keying the up the defense by finding his favorite receiver, Frank Goroesku, for-a 26 yard touchdown. “Our receivers kept saying they were them deep,” said Simak. “They were dropping off the corners, but we didn’t really pick on anyone in particular in the secondary.” beating Wrong receivers Rodriguez again took to the air on Buffalo’s next series, hitting Lafferty in the secondary for a 12 yard gain. Throwing into a crowd the same series, the Bulls’ passer was intercepted for the first of four times by safety Marc on Kensy. “We could throw on them early, but we" probably went to the pass a little too much,” stated Bulls’ coach Bill Dando. Dando’s offensive threat is primarily on the veer formation, in which the and fullback halfback are expected to run the option. However, the blocking up front broke down early in the game, shutting off the run almost entirely. “Offensively we weren’t blocking, and that’s the name of thfi game, blocking and tackling,” the second year Head Coach declared. While the Buffalo offense stalled, Cortland scored again. Devendorf plunged in from the four, capping a 75-yard scoring drive, giving Cortland a 14 point advantage midway through the game. Still struggling Buffalo was forced'to punt on its first series in the beginning of the second half. Devendorf fielded Royals "FOOTBULL FEVER!"

Rodriguez once again threw the ball directly to the opposition on the following series. The Buffalo defease held Cortland in check following the interception, but suffered a more serious setback when outstanding linebacker Dan Vecchies was forced to leave the game with a knee injury. The status of Vecchies’ injury was not certain, but immediate sources indicated the damage was not severe. Buffalo took possession at Cortland’s 27, and immediately Rodriguez returned to the air. Larry O’Leary intercepted the sideline toss and dashed in for the score, uncontested. Score: Cortland 27, Buffalo 0. The Buffs were forced to punt from deep in their own territory four plays later, and the snap from center landed in the Cortland end zone for a safety, upping the score to Cortland 29, Buffalo 0. Angelo Scappa Freshman replaced Rodriguez at this point in the game, which had entered the fourth period. Scappa scampered behind the line until he discovered his 1— „ receivers open, advancing the ball down to the fifteen yard line of Cortland. Buffalo’s Kevin Pratt stood alone in the end zone, and Scappa put the ball right into his mid-section. But the Buffalo tight end dropped the ball, and Scappa was then dropped by the Dragon defense short of a first down on the seven yard line on a fourth down, do-or-die situation. When Cortland was unable to advance the ball, Buffalo got its first break of the game.

Minutes later, 'Shane Currey, who played an outstanding game at linebacker, picked off a short pass over the middle, and pitched back to Riley Washington who sprinted in from 40 yards out.

Perplexed by dwindling faculty lines and runaway demand for his unit’s courses, an exasperated Chairman Gail Carrithers has warned of a simmering morale problem in the English Department. “We are faced with serious dissatisfaction setting in upon a good department,” Carrithers told The Spectrum Wednesday Although faculty lines have been cut steadily in the past eight reality they could be taking upper level courses.” Students are, of years, student enrollment is at an this unaware of all time high this fall with S00 course, and have discrepancy registered en additional freshmen enrolled at masse for elementary writing Introductory English UB. Composition courses have been courses, forcing sections to be besieged. Of 109 undergraduate closed by mid-August. Announcements in offerings, 61 are sections of edition of The Wednesday’s English 101 and 102. According to Assistant to the Spectrum alerted Engineering and Chairman Rita Lipsitz, “We will Management students that any have, by October, disappointed at 200-level English or Humanities offerings (with the exception of least 500 students.” Advisors within the schools of poetry and fiction writing) would Management and Engineering had, fulfill the schools’ requirements. until recently when requirements Carrithers justified the alteration were broadened, directed new by stating, “It is departmental students to take the introductory policy that in lower level courses writing “The there is a good deal of writing.” courses. Management advisement is at best However, an upper level English very narrow and at worst, course would offer much the detrimentally so,” said Carrithers. same," he explained, referring According to Lipsitz, “Many specifically to literature courses counselors advise students to take which require frequent critiques. composition courses when in English The Department, Approximately 50 lower level English sections with enrollment ceilings set at 20 each, were planned last November. To date, 11 additional offerings have been instituted, although three arc unstaffed, and the class size raised to 22. Lipsitz, “We could to add more composition courses, but we have no one to teach them.” The bulk of the courses are being taught by although students graduate professors have now been moved in. In addition to the financial illogic in having a $30,000 a year professor teach an introductory Said continue , the composition -crunch has, according to Lipsitz, caused “serious pitfalls since this appears to many to be a form of punishment.” While Carrithers maintained that the department was seriously understaffed he said, “We have not been allowed to replace faculty lines. We have in the past eight years lost 50 or 60 members. course, , “The Dean of Arts and Letters, George Levine has not been able to protect this faculty from depletion," said, Carrithers “because we have an Academic Vice President who is committed to cutting down the core disciplines in order to build up some of the professional schools.” The Vice President for Academic Affairs, Ronald F. Bunn, was the target of Carrither’s criticism. Carrithers cited Management as the most-aided professional faculty. “There are 14 new people there, eight of which are new lines,” he said adding, “Since budget allowances are not coming from Albany these days, the money has been querried from elsewhere in the University.” According to Carrithers, the only explanation offered by Bunn centered around the student-faculty ratio in the Management department. While Carrithers acknowledged that Management has a larger ratio than English, he questioned their admission standards and added, “In terms of what is normal for first rate core University disciplines, English our Department is not overly staffed. We do have a better ratio than that of a second-rate college, but that should be the case since we are considered a State University center.” The chairman said that while Bunn maintains he considered factors other than ratio in faculty-line decisions, “he has never mentioned these. His actions seem to accord with that.” Bunn was unavailable for 1 by Elena Cacavas Contributing Editor comment Wednesday. Lipsitz believes that the trend toward professional schools has influenced Bunn’s decisions. While stating that English (as well as any other liberal arts faculty) has attracted fewer majors in the past five years, she said that this provides a standard defense for budget and line administration is cuts. “When approached, they counter with the argument that we have many upper level courses drawing little demand. We have got to offer literature courses even if only 10 people are interested. We cannot destroy a department of this quality,” she said. Former department chairman Marcus Kline told Carrithers that when faculty lines were cut a few years ago, the explanation was —continued on page 4— Vol. 29, No.11 State University of Friday, 8 September 1978 New York at Buffalo Doors opened Ketter welcomes representatives to his academic cabinet • by Daniel S. Parker Campus Editor University President Robert L. Ketter has opened the doors of his to academic cabinet representatives of the Faculty Senate, Professional Staff Senate and the student body. Ketter, in response to apparent an widespread criticism of an insular administration, also created a new council of Deans to assist in policy-making. The two advisory bodies, which will meet monthly, are to deal exclusively with academic decisions and are likely to play important roles in forging the new Academic Plan, implementing General Education and redirecting the Undergraduate Division here. Vice President fdr. Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn said, “As the University enters a little more of an academic planning mode, 1 think the President recognized that these decisions require more deliberate means of involvement.” The President’s academic cabinet had previously included and Bunn, the Graduate Vice Undergraduate Deans, President for Health Sciences Carter Pannill, Library Director Satkidas Roy, Director of the Center Walter Computing Director MacIntyre, and of Admissions and Records Richard Dremuk. Deans will now meet separately while the cabinet will add Chairman of the Faculty Senate Newton Carver, Chairman of the Professional Staff Senate (PSS) Cliff Wilson and a student representative. Wider circles The student representative will be selected from the presidents of the six .v „ student associations: Undergraduate (SA), Graduate (GSA), Millard Fillmore College (MFC), the Bar Association, Dental School and Medical School SA President Richard Mott, who said he would not be representative, the believes Ketter’s decision to increase the scope of his cabinet was “a reaction to the events of last Polity. spring. “1 think Ketter realized that communication wasn’t what it should be,” Mott said. Carver, who told the Faculty Senate T uesday that he was encouraged by Ketter’s decision, remarked, “The President is reaching out to wider circles for advice.” Carver, pointing to a decade-long tendency here . standing become • campaign, PSS more involved University-wide to in committees. that charges of insularity and limited input in Capen Hall were off-base. “This is not a change,” he said, “just a continuation of policy.” The new Council of Deans will be comprised of five deans from the Health Sciences plus Pannill, and thirteen deans from Academic Affairs plus Bunn. Wilson felt Easy communication Pannill said that although it will meet less often (once a month compared to twice), the Council will go into more depth. Pannill, who said he was “delighted” to see student representation on the academic cabinet, hopes the Council of Deans will deal with pther issues such as “How do you combine your educational mission with your societal mission.” He referred to health care in the community, the University's recent offer to help in the Love Canal crisis, and Architecture and Design Dean Environmental Harold Cohen’s recent proposal to revitalize the Buffalo theatre district as areas where these two missions are combined. In creating the Council of Deans, Bunn said, “It was an effort to ensure the President was kept in the position to hear directly from them and maintain easy communication.’’ Pannill, who termed the Council of Deans and the academic cabinet “extensions of one another,” said information will filter from deans to department chairmen, to the faculty. to narrow the circles of advice, said, “Ketter’s decision to widen the circle is a very good sign.” Ketter told The Spectrum that the idea originated three years ago but that implementation didn’t seem necessary then. “The cabinet will not be discussing issues on a broader basis,” the President said. “It is another attempt to get more input.” The final report of the General Education Committee, still in its early stage, will be submitted to the Academic Cabinet, Ketter added. t A ‘super’ idea Professional Staff Senate Chairman Cliff Wilson, who represents approximately / f : c -v , *,• *&' ‘ 500 employees, called Ketter’s decision “a super,idea.” ‘‘It’s bound to produce more decisions,” said representative Wilson, pointing to a long Inside: Metroline is coming—P. 2 m HEADING FOR CORTLANCL UB's ace running back Mark Gabryel, rounds end during practice Wednesday at Rotary Field. 1 he football Bulls will University smokers— P. 7 / ■ V.**" , ~ L . ,... ~ —Krlm launch the 1978 season this Saturday at Cortland State College.

Student voter registration—P. 8 / Movie section—P. 13 �i NFTA calls for bids I on Light Rail project YES!!! dry Editor The Niagra Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) has 5 officially called for bids to dig the first portion of the new Light Rail | Rapid Transit (LRRT) line. £ According to Vice President for Facilities Planning John A. Neal, eo this first portion will involve the digging of a large vertical shaft on the j site of what is presently the old Lockwood parking lot. Plans for the project call for twin tunnels, allowing trains to “■ simultaneously run north and south, to be dug through solid rock by mobile boring machines which can cut through up to 65 feet of solid rock per day. The tunnels will run 7300 feet from the Majn Street campus to the site of the planned Amherst Street station. Each of the tunnels will be lined with concrete and have a finished diameter of 16 feet. “The first thing they’ll do is dig a vertical shaft in the parking lot, lower in their equipment and then use the tunneling machines to dig the tunnels in which the trains will run.” said Neal. He added that the shafts need not be as large as the tunneling machines, since the machines will be brought to the site in parts, to be assembled underground. The machines are 18 feet in diameter when fully assembled. Vibration abatement NFTA officials say that these boring machines, while large, will not produce significant vibration levels. Director of NFTA’s office of Community Services John Winston said, “There is going to be a complete vibration abatement, most of the time people won't even be aware of what we’re doing down there.” He said however that the digging of the vertical shaft would require some blasting, but gave assurances that it would not disturb campus activities significantly. The people who normally park in the Lodkwood lot, mostly faculty and staff members, will have to park elsewhere, but Winston informed that neither the front lawn nor any other part of the campus would be j damaged by this project. Of the 6.4 mile LRRT line, officially called Metro Line, 3.5 miles will be bored through the rock underneath Main Street. The boring is to be done Tn two portions; the first will be the UB to Amherst section now being bid for, the second will be dug beginning north of Ferry Street and continuing beneath to the Amherst Street station. The Amherst station will run for one block both above and below ground, where passengers will be able to transfer from regualr Metro buses to the LRRT. Altogether there will be five stations: Delavan, Humboldt, Amherst, LaSalle, and South Campus. The Sth Campus (or Main Street) station will probably be built on the same site where the verticle shaft will be dug, and will be the north terminal of the line. Cut and cover Between Ferry and Tupper Streets, the tunnel will be dug by means of “cut and cover construction.” This involves digging a trench, constructing the LRRT rails in the trench and then covering it at the street level. The remaining 1.2 miles between Tupper and the south terminal at the Memorial Auditorium will run entirely on the surface. Part of this surface section will consist of a 3800 foot-long, auto-free, pedestrian mall for the city’s theater district. Total cost of the project is estimated by NFTA to be around $439.8 million. Twenty percent (87.96 million) is being guaranteed by the State. NFTA officials are hoping that the federal Urban Mass Transit Administration (UMTA) will pay the remaining $351.84 million, but so far the UMTA has not given its approval. “Right now we don’t have a project,” said Winston However, NFTA and other officials are confident that approval will come before the end of the month. So far, 16 different companies have shelled out $60 each to NFTA for the right to see the exact specifications for the first portion of the tunnels, and to participate in the bidding. Bids for the contract, estimated to be worth about $40 million, will be opened on October 16. If all goes well, ground breaking could be expected sometime in December or January. The LRRT is scheduled for completion in 1984. ATTENTION MALES | EARN EXTRA MONEY j Join Our Plasma Program | : • \ Female Programs Also Available Somerset Laboratories, Inc. 1331 N.

Watson Clifford indicated that the increased number of listings this week is due in part to students who may have not filled houses as planned, leaving landlords with security deposits but no tenants. Also, some community residents, hearing of the shortage, seem to be opening rooms in their houses to students. 'Okay for spring’ Some 190 students who requested form rooms have not claimed them, according to Associate Director of Housing Cliff Wilson. These no-shows allow for de-tripling of the 160 freshmen living three-to-a-double room, which should be completed in one week to ten days. The remaining 30 rooms will be leased to students in emergency situations, he said, such as those who have checked with the Housing office daily for openings. Wilson predicted that all students requesting dorm space for the spring semester would be accomodated. In the past, more dorm residents have been lost than gained at semester breaks. He noted however that the number of dorm requests will depend on the University’s spring admissions policy. This semester’s housing shortage has resulted largely from an enrollment increase of 2000, the housing of temporary academic in departments residential buildings, and the 60 percent return rate of dorm students up 10 percent from last - year. The Student Housing Task Force, scheduled to meet for the first time today, will study the current problems of housing at UB and make recommendations based on its findings to University President Robert Ketter. Chaired by Associate vice-president for Student Affairs Anthony Lorenzetti, the Task Force is comprised of eight qdministrators and two students. NYPIRG at a loss Project coordinator quits The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) is again without a Project Coordinator. NYPIRG is a student directed, research and advocacy organization concerned with environmental preservation, consumer protection, social justice and governmental reform. Russ Smith, who was appointed to the $7,000 position this past August, decided that the Project Coordinator position was not right for him and resigned last week according to SUNY Buffalo NYPIRG Chairperson Larry Schillinger. Schillinger explained that the job of the Project Coordinator is to maintain continuity from year to year. “Student organizations that rely solely on students need that,” he said NYPIRG is currently examining applications previously ' filed for the full-time position. Schiilinger said that of the original thirty applicants, the choice has been narrowed to four people in addition to a statewide search. He also estimated that the loss of Smith will not be extremely detrimental to NYPIRG “because most projects don’t get underway until October anyway.” Smith has replaced Ron Wainrib who had been Project Coordinator for NYPIRG for the past two years. Smith was unavailable for comment. �Disagreements mount Cukan to resign post as chairman of by Brad Bermudez Campus Editor The Tint Faculty Student Association (FSA) casualty has been registered. Chairman Alexandra Cukan ha* been asked to resign in the wake of Student Association (SA) President Richard Mott s reorganization plans for the campus corporation. Mott and SA Vice President Karl Schwartz felt that Cukan, though competent, was not a dynamic enough leader to institute the changes they have planned for FSA, which runs the bookstore, food service and check cashing facilities on campus. The non-profit corporation is controlled by a Board of six students and six faculty members. Students, for the first time in the corporation’s history, have control over the three key board positions: chairman, treasurer and secretary. Cukan was elected chairman last spring. One of the primary goals for FSA, Mott said, is to lay the groundwork for an effective student controlled service organization. Mott’s vision of FSA began to waiver last spring when Tom Van Norfwick, Executive Director of Sub Board I, Inc. and the student representative in the treasurer’s post, left the University. The position has yet to be filled. In Mott’s words the corporation since then has been “stagnant.” As a first step to ease what rnany SA officials feel are serious with the assistance 'of structural problems within FSA, Mott proposed an internship Management Professor Stephen Goodwin program through the School of Management to fill the treasurer’s post and to initiate cost study and marketing surveys. Books sold now thru Sept. 18th. — Pick up unsold books Schecks Sept. 19th thru Sept. 21s - • EXCHANGE CLOSES Changes in store The internships will grant six credits plus $1000 to management students. The corporation is also searching for a management student to fill the chairmanship. Through the internships, Mott and other SA officials hope to attract “qualified" people to institute “changes” in the organization. Mott was vague about what specific plans were in store, but mentioned lowering prices and improving services as his goals. Cukait, Mott said, does not fit into this scheme. “Within the context of how we were operating before, Alex was doing fine but what can you expect from a volunteer who has little management background? It was a difficult decision to make because she was putting in a lot of time and had a sincere interest in the corporation.” Schwartz concurred. “Alex was doing an adequate job in terms of the corporation as it presently exists,” he said, “but we need someone very dynamic to bring about changes in the corporation.” Throughout the summer Cukan worked on several projects. She mentioned the renovation of the Ellicott Pub. the Amherst land deal, the plant sale, budget hearings, and the potential use of Lake LaSalle, —continued on page 22— as examples.

In the ecology of the department, even if everyone is busy teaching overloads of composition students, they are still not doing some of the things Mm -continued from page 1— . . . they came here for.” Attracting major concern from Carrithers is the tremendous pressure placed on professors. He said, “We are still in relatively high spirits and exhibit as much energy as ever, but I feel this is supportive vulnerable. The environment is of concern.” Lipsitz on the other hand viewed the departmental morale as “unbelievably low.” Stating that the philosophy of University administration appeared to be, “punish the least productive.” she added, “While the Department of Management grows are we to cease flourishing? Fine, if you want to run a University on just Engineering or Management.” also Lipsitz. questioned whether a of department accomplishment should have to convert itself to exclusively serving the needs of the University thus, “turning the professors into 2.

Ketter promise greater faculty input the in University decision-making process. Professor of Philosophy Newton Carver made a smooth transition as he -assumed the leadership of the Faculty Senate on Tuesday. Assuming the reins from Jonathan Reichert, whose assertive manner assumed complete command of the Senate, Carver’s easy delivery and smooth speech appeared to put his audience at ease. Carver began his term with “trepidation and some uncertainty,”.he said, although he showed no signs of uneasiness while chairing his first Senate meeting. The new leader said Reichert succeeded in smoothing out the relationship between the faculty and administration; and hoped to The the faculty’s body, also heard Senate, representative from selected reports committees on their Senate current status. Ketter, gave his usual brief address, stressed that the faculty as well as other University groups will have more indluence in retain such harmony. Carver said that it would be his job to insure that the “faculty has effective input into problems as they arise on campus." The chairman pledged to “play the role of a megaphone when otherwise no voice would be heard at all from the Senate.” This will be a key year for the Faculty Senate. Specific Senate committees will issue reports on General Education, discuss procedures for Presidential Evaluation and study implications of the .Springer Committee report. University-wide Ketter announced three recommendations to the SUNY Board of Trustees to fill vacant Deanships. The recommendations are: Director of Summer Sessions James Blackhurst to be Dean of Continuing the of Divison Education, Chairman of the Psychology Department Kenneth Levy as Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Dwayne Anderson of the National Science Foundation as Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. policy-making. (See story Academic Cabinet page 1) Anderson, who is based in Washington, will not assume his new post until January I, although Blackhurst and Levy can begin after the Boards approval has been given.

Bunn and Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Letters George Levine, can be heard. Two related points, though, deserve mention now. First, we expect that the General Education Committee, currently in the midst of distilling its first report, will take detailed notes on the English composition crunch and come up with some type of writing program for the bulk of undergraduates. Basic writing ability must rest at the core of almost everyone's definition of the educated person. It should occupy a similar position in any re-thinking of the Attention would-be letter writers Our message last week about keeping letters brief and to the point was taken a bit too literally. People stopped writing. We did not intend to discourage as many people as we apparently have from dropping us a line. We were only trying to undergraduate curriculum. The Committee must then consider if an English is the Department particularly one renowned for poets basic instruction. No writing best place to put the burden of other sector of the University is expected to improve the skills of as many students from as many disciplines in as basic some say remedial area. So expecting a great poet, a great critic, even a greaibwriter to be a willing and effective teacher of writing is quite different than expecting a great biologist to teach biology. The latter is both within reason and within reach. Perhaps the need for some type of writing program can best be filled by a re definition and expansion of the Learning Center, or in some new wing of the English Department designed to teach writing. Something will have to change though, to accomodate undergraduates who now know they must improve their writing skills and the thousands more who may be unaware of such a need. The dismal writing abilities of college students are a well one documented deficiency of our educational system that will be with us for a while. The General Education Committee does not need to be reminded of that. We are not comfortable with some English professors who consider teaching composition courses "being sent to Siberia." That smacks of a condescending attitude that does no one-any good. But we do think that the struggle to produce graduates who can construct a sentence is an institutional problem and, therefore, must have an institutional solution. past years. Well welcome you back with open arms, so chalk this one up as mistake no. 1 for the new regime. And take to your pens!

' from Ellicott �Undaunted by smoking laws, teachers, students puff away Adrienne McCann Spectrum Staff Writer At UB, the Environmental Health and Safety Department has to answer to two legal codes the New York State Public Health Code, and more locally, the Erie County Sanitary Code. The Erie Courtly Sanitary Code Article XXI, effective April 1, 1975, prohibits smoking in elevators, classrooms and lecture halls, and allows establishments to provide a smoking area which, “shall not contain more than 20 percent of the total area” in theatres, movie houses, concert halls, museums and libraries. Tire New York State Health Code, written in 1975, prohibits smoking on. all public transportation, in any “lecture space,” in all libraries, theatres and museums, except in rest rooms and lobbies physically separated from spectator areas. The no-smoking rules are — — — 5» obviously violated according to University Policeman Wayne Robinson. “It’s not enforced. But we’re not really given enough guidelines for strict enforcement. What can we do follow people around all day?” he remarked. — Imagine for a moment a smoke-filled room the atmosphere sticky and confined. Visibility more than a few feet ahead is difficult. Cigarette butts sprout like weeds from ash trays, overflowing, to fall and decorate the floor beneath. There are many, many reasons why UB students and professors have chosen to smoke, ranging from the seemingly rational to the unusual from “smoking is a sport” to “having a fascination, for smoke rings.” Just as individual reasons for smoking vary, so do the times and places where one wishes to smoke. It’s here we run into problems not everyone enjoys a smokey existence. As such there are rules for those who do. ■V — Consideration But something can be done, and Albany is doing it. In the spring of 1977, the Student Association (SA) of SUNY at Albany passed legislation banning all smoking in places where student attendance is required. This includes all classrooms, corridors, laboratories and lecture centers. In the libraries, there is only one area where smoking is allowed a section of the basement. According to Hugh Hill,, an Albany SA Senator, the new legislation came ab( out for a very practical and humane reason. “We’ve found that for certain handicapped students, having to exist in an environment of cigarette smoke can be very dangerous. They’re just not able to function in a smoke-filled room,” Hill said. The unique aspect of the stringent ban is that it’s not and yet it’s formally enforced - YOU are needed Wanted: Telephone solicitors for full and part time positions.

Our ruling is hard on some people. The professors who smoke bear the hardest brunt, but the cooperation here is really fantastic, According to Hunt, his department has received IS calls in the past two years complaining of smoking code violations. “In each of the incidents we’ve written to the department head, and informed him or her of the State legislation and have asked him to take care of the situation. We’ve never received any returns on the individual complaints.” “In view of my position as director. I think the legislation we have is sufficient,” Hunt concluded. Hill commented. working.

State election law defines residency as “that place maintained as a fixed and permanent home to which an individual always intends to return.” According to a SASU handbook, “Many county registrars claim that since students do not intend to remain in their college community permanently, they arc no* really residents of that community.” Schillinger’s contention is that students virtually reside in their college community year round and thus, should have the right to vote there. He added that students who are denied registration in their college community should demand an explanation from the local board. NYPIRG’s student registration campaign here has been running at a steady clip since freshman orientation. “The aim of the voter registration drive,” said Schillinger, “is to make the student vote more effective by exercising their votes as a block.” & featuring Downbeat Award winners: DAVE SAMUELS DAVID FRIEDMAN • marimbas on vibes and Also: HARVEY SWARTZ MICHAEL DI PASQUA Percussion on bass Sept. 15 Grammy Award Winner Every Tuesday & 16 PHIL WOODS — & his quartet Every Thursday Buffalo — Fresh Comedy Experiment Tralfamadore Cafe Main at Fillmore 836-9678 — !!

NYPIRG and the Student Association of the State University (SASU) a statewide organization of students are concerned that election laws are often unfairly applied to students who attempt to register in their college communities. According to NYPIRG Chairman Larry Schillinger, “Historically, local Boards of Election have fnade it difficult for students to register in the community in which they go to school, making it difficult for them to vote as a block.” Both NYPIRG and SASU hope that through student registration drives and election law reform, obstacles to students who wish to vote in their college communities can be removed.

Social implications The job then of a television critic becomes ctear: it is not to write imitations of film criticisms as if any given episode ofLittle House on the Prairie was a film. TV shows are not films and cannot be examined effectively in isolation. They must be seen in the context of the medium. The critic must investigate, not only the quality of the programs, but the way in which the machinations of an industry affect and are affected by its programs. The social implications arising from and inherent in programming must be dealt with, as evidenced by the popularity of last season's mini-series Holocaust. What I intend to do then in the coming months is to delve into the nature of television through particular instances of programming. I do not claim to be an expert in these matters .but I do see that much is to be learned and it is my hope that you will learn with me. And to learn is essential; it is the only way we may gain mastery over a medium that often has mastery over us. For without critical competence, television assumes an insiduous, demagogish quality.

Like most upstate New York cities, it carries a cultural stigma. The stubborn still insist on thinking the only pursuits available are bar hopping and mall cruising. In the oft-enclosed life of a UB student, Buffalo as a city sometimes does fail to exist. The campuses become the environs, and often when one is insulting Buffalo as a wasteland, Chances are he’s never been further off campus than to grab a Whopper at Burger King. Columbus had to sail around the world in order to prove it wasn’t flat. One only has to look and be informed to prove this city isn’t Siberia. The Prodigal Sun exists because culture does. We are steeped in art, music, film, dance and drama. The Albright-Knox enjoys a deserved reputation as a fine art museum. Downtown Buffalo is revving up for a renaissance with the re-emergence of a new Studio Arena Theater, its old site to be occupied by the UB Theater Department. Alvin Alley’s Dance Company will be at Artpark this month. Music fans can choose between the Buffalo Philharmonic and Cheap Trick. This is just a beginning. In time, almost everyone already or soon to be important in the American cultural scene arrives in Buffalo. They‘may be just passing through on their way to New York, but the important thing is that they come. The arts can only enhance our lives. It amazes me how many people at this University don’t make an effort to find out what is going on beyond the esthetics of classes. There’s a difference between reading well and being well read. Newspapers and magazines are necessities. They keep us up to date and humble by showing us there’s more to life than deadlines and tests.

Or does objectivity actually mean something besides concise and total honesty? On that sky blue note, let’s expand the sunshine of Main Street into its many avenues of unseen vision. Of these avenues, the musical corner holds extremely powerful interest. For all the gestures of Spyro Gyraphiles hand jiving about being “with it,” there is a movement in Buffalo genuinely about making music that is highly innovative, in soulful deep communication, and (in the tradition of all uplifting music) "gets down with,it.” (It’s strange how Buffalo constantly holds breeding ground music, for innovative -talent poetry, prose, etc. yet the only way for most artistic performers — STRATFORD EXCURSION September 15 & 16 $65.00 includes; A — 3 tickets Overnight stay accommodations roundtrip transportation The Plays Are: 'MacBeth Winter's Tale Titus Andronicus Reservations can be made until Wednesday, Sept. 13th.

Let’s get to more of the Music. — ‘Hara’ First, yre"have two gentlemen, David Fulton and Elliot Sharp, presenting an album of radically improvised music. The album, Hara (Zoar Records), features Fulton and Sharp on 6 and 12 string acoustic guitars, tairona flute, and soprano saxophone; the music presented is very powerful, indeed. The guitars, especially, are used in terms of plucked textures and suddenly strung chromatic lace that will command sharp attention. The explorative strum of this LP ranges from early Larry Coryell and McLaughlin to avant garde pioneer Derek Bailey. This music’s strength is in the tonal protrayals (dramatic stage play) rather than the use of the "conventional” rhythmic structure (actor’s improvisations). Even the "three blues” displays a strive for the Blues feel (misty)' rather than an exercise of the form. All in all, it’s jubilant and jarring, with a hot drive that can leave the blind skeptic and the wide-eyed cold with wonder at its sheer technical demands. For me, the provocative spirit of the LP is captured in “We All Walk on Native Land,’’ a tune very tangible andnebulous, at once as one’s idealism or roots. It’s some idea, isn’t it? Better be. — The Gresham groove Paul Gresham’s Every Sound —continued on page 16— �M records } 1 Boston, Don't Look Back (Epic Records) The publicity folks at Epic Records were correct when they 5 plugged Boston’s first album as "better music through science."

Tom Scholz, the MIT engineering graduate who handles the production and songwriting for the group, had his basement studio flooded and tried to get in shape for the ABC Rock and Roll Olympics. During this hibernation, I heard snippets from Epic Records on why the infamous Second Album was constantly being delayed (every time I spoke with them, the release date was postponed another month or two). Maybe you heard these reasons too: A) they couldn't decide what the cover would be, B) it would take three months to record the last song or C) the studio flooded and destroyed the tapes they were working on. The point behind all of this was that Boston had to follow-up their classic debut with something on the level of an event that would crack the skies open. Don't Look Back starts off on the stature of the first record and falls quickly to a lot of guitars sliding into each other going nowhere. The opening title cut is everything a Boston song should be driving rhythms, crystalline acoustics, hummable melodies and the brute force of guitars. “Don't Look Back” segues into an instrumental, "The Journey," which sounds like Tom Scholz sat on the corner of his electric organ for a minutc-and-a-half. Nothing else gels much better than that. One looks for insight in the semi-ballad, “A Man I’ll Never Be,” a blow to macho daydreams, but Brad Delp’s vocals never get below the screeching intensity of the more turbulent rockers and the bitter power of the lyrics is not conveyed If only / could Hod a way I'd feel like the man you believe / am And it gets harder every day for me To hide behind the dream you A man / 'll never be Scholz, who admits in a recent Rolling Stone article that "out of convenience, he plays most guitar and bass parts,” refuses to cut loose as one longs for him to do. The ingenious jamming of the first album’s "Smokin’ " is traded in for Brad Delp’s screaming in songs which don’t move in any way like the earlier ones did. The brilliant building guitar,leads of "Hitchin’ a Ride" hardly show up on Don't Look Back- the acoustic breaks of “Long Time” and "Peace of Mind" arc sorely missed. As incredible as the artword of Don't Look Back's cover is, Schol* should have masterminded carefully his more baby awesome underneath the guitar-ship beaming out searchlights on the fields below. Most of the 34 minutes of the musically album are as distinguishable as any half-ass hard rock band at a high school dance. Someone at Epic was quick enough to recognize the talent of Buffalo photographer Eric M. Jensen, who has one of his pictures gracing the inner cover I am sure Tom Scholz has musical gifts which go beyond appears what this on disappointing second album. Production qualities may be important but composing carries just as much weight, if not more. Questions regarding Boston being a one-man band (Scholz) and the first album' being a fluke will rise to an even greater degree with this -disc. It will be a matter of time before the answers are fylly revealed.

The film is a private joke between the actors and a presumably receptive audience; squares, black, gays and liberated women arc not allowed The audiences at my two viewings of Animal House were receptive but only in a limited way. Many, including myself, had gone to the movie hoping to catch some of the characteristic satire of National Lampoon. But there was none. And this is not due to a lack of potential. The intentionally general character of Farber College could be a nice set-up for some broad satire on college life. But the film ignores this. Instead, Animal House plows ahead with its buffoonery. The laughter of the audience is evidence of this: short, loud, punctuate?) bursts of shrieks; it never really gets out of control, never really gathers momentum. It is more like they were being intermittently tickled than comically touched. PURE ESCAPISM? John Belushi, of Saturday Night Live fame, tries to prove in “Animal House” that college life* is not all bad and does have its compensations. See story at left for <W- reviewer’s opinion of this summer’s smash hit The humor of Animal House comes to us from the lowest levels: cocks, beer cans and joints. It is humor-at-ease and is easing, I suppose, the way a scratch in the crotch is casing. But despite a show of cockmanship and alcoholic tolcrapce, the form of the pranks is no higher than that of dunking braids into inkwells. Animal House is an episode of The Little Rascals given an RTating because of sex, foul language, and boo/e. A collegiate setting does not make it collegiate (Look humor. National Lampoon and Doonesbury for that.) The revelry of the film is Hell, I stuff. playground remember thinking that all of this was funny in junioi; high school! When one has done enough screwing/beo/ing/swcaring, it’s no longer funny; it’s boring. How anyone over the age of consent can call this film “great” is a mystery to me If Animal House were merely puerile, I would shrug it off as another cinematic lunge for our pockelbooks. But there is enough to crudity and offensiveness warrant reaction. Blacks, for instance, are dealt with, but only with the business end of a toilet plunger. The racial slights are few but loud.

They jerk off while the other members play hand jive. A- real percussionist in a tight hand, like William (Bill) Bruford of U.K., will tap a skin-tight snare and with gentle power TCHH his cymbals as symbols that the times will have to change or be buried... But some still pound the leadfoot tom-tom, either throw or Ipse their sticks and then say “Man, am I hip.” This is where the parting comes, in ways and means, when composers seek a true progression in their work. Now that more and more open, able rock musicians use jazz as a catalyst, this new sense is adding freshly colored shapes to the form. The three chord plodders chew their own distorted dust while artists gain feedback from new connections. Bruford and his distinct style have been around since the ’60s, he’s seen a lot of trips and learned by being there. But of his time with Yes (1968 72) he says: "The best thing I ever did was leave them.” In ’78 those rebellious concepts grew to become whole. try and beat LYRICS?; The Cars may have forged to the top of the music scene with their hit "Just What I Needed” but the album’s lyrics are causing anxiety. See the story below for our reviewer’s opinion of the new band. APATHETIC Believable apathy Cars racing into mainstream of rock by Harold Goldberg the other day, while listening to cock rock on AM and FM radio stations, I heard the Boston band, The Cars, six times. The Cars raced into the Main Street of rock ’n’ roll as quickly, but not yet as popularly, as the Boston and Foreigner bands of a year ago. They lend themselves to analysis, see? Even banana blue psychoanalysis they theorize with shocking apathy, or at least nonchalance, but with the heartbreak elan of Roxy Music; they hold back excitement; until you can’t; can’t contain yourself; til it’s orgasm time in their limosine burlesque. I’m convinced this band is good but I am bothered by the lack of objective correlative in lead singer Ric Ocasek’s lyrics. What can they think of the ... apathy? Before you dabble in ideas of apathy, you should look at thought composition: namely, other people’s. The puns on the song of masturbation, "All Mixed Up” “she says to leave it to me and everything will be alright’’ leave you to think of Jackson Browne’s “Rosie." But "All Mixed Up” tends toward the arcane more than "Rosie’’ does. After all, what is auto-eroticism if not all mixed up? Look at the varied views in Shere Hite’s book, Jong’s and Robbins’ now cliched thoughts that the mind's eye is quicker than the hand. Ocasek has been exposed to this, flicking his pointy, sharp finger and his reaction as a member of society getting his chance to tell his view to the people is amazingly, almost martyredly, self-controlled. — - - Vehicular apathy Ocasek, is always combining inaction with reaction, his concern with apathy, being apathetic, flows from violent movement. Pop I Needed,’’ "i dont mind you coming poetically he says in here/ and wasting all my time/ ’cause when you’re standing oh so near/ i kinda lose my mind.” He doesn’t mind, he doesn’t care, more than he really feeds on emotion. In "Good Times Roll" he can be knocked down, get up and seem to apply forms of passive resistance to violence an anachronism for good rock music in any day and age, especially to pull it off well. Dangerously living for the moment is where Ocasek’s idea seems strongest and where he seems to make his biggest mistake for living, his greatest achievement for rock. No one can truly live for the moment; absolutes are impossible, all us cars being equal; but a rock V roll musician, more than any - / —continued on page 16— — TU-BA OR NOT TU-BA that is the "Bass” of the question. Actually, the question is to play or not to play in the UB Symphony Band. fluglehornist Kenny Wheeler, who’s played on Anthony Braxton’s albums. On Feels Good to Me, the lyrics and how they’re felt are worth repeated playings. She also has an album released on Polydor import, X'Dreams; Peacock colors earthbound flights, smooth rainbows. More atmospheric pleasure National Health, another recent offering (on Visa), also uses the female songbird, but to higher-pitched and more atmospheric, complement the cheerful doomsday organ and piano of Dave Stewart. Amanda Parsons is more a one-woman chorale than a lyricist, a talent also gracing Stewart’s previous line-ups, Egg and Hatfield & the North. What never ceases to amaze is the relaxed informal way these musicians hang out together. When Natioal Health needed more percussion Bruford, was there to play the dates, influencing former Gong drummer Pip Pyle just as he ... Precise and intricate The case in point; Bruford’s solo album, Feels Good to Me (Polydor). Play it and you’ll see why the break was a good one. The warm, husky vocals of Annette Peacock and biting guitar from Allan Holdsworth (Soft Machine, Ponty) drift sharply above the sound, below Jeff Berlin’s nimble bass pulsates and heady (not heavy) keyboard runs of 1978—U.K.: Wetton, Holdsworth, Bruford, Jobson Dave Stewart frame the precise, intricate beat Bill Shades of Crimson, Roxy and others uses to propel the sound moves Listen to the strong debut of U.K., a powerhouse group anthology of Crimso/Roxy musicians, and powerful subtlety will jolt your innards vibrate as John Wetton’s bass tone resonates. Eddie Jobson (Roxy Music, Zappa) plays violin and keyboards, plus stellar session man Holdsworth pair up well with the rhythm and vocal section of King Crimson, the group disbanded by Robert Fripp in 1974 (another story). — ... U.K. blues U.K. moved the sounds in concert, also jamming long and spacily. They damn near made the crowd at Toronto’s El Mocambo tear down the joint back in June. After waking "In the Dead of Night” there was “Caesar’s Palace Blues” for an encore, then a charged up bunch of fanatics shouting "UK, UK" and banging empty quart bottles on tables. There was no second encore, but Buffalo missed out on a monster when U.K. was cancelled out of the Belle Star gig in July. Of course our local rock honchos would insist U.K. play the Century, while on this continent the bands wants a more personal situation where they can go on and off stage through the club. U.K. couldn’t play this town because capacity was more vital to a “successful” event than the artists and fans who create the real happening. On the brighter side of the moon, Bruford and a host of others are fashioning a new sound, not from whole cloth but using well experience with electric "acid-rock” (metalechoes) and new fusion (Return to Forever and Mahavishnu come to mind). There are many new faces to watch for in the tapestry of sound, all with ties somewhere to the blond dynamo and his rapid-fire percussion. The ideal climate for growth has been Great Britain, although American Annette Peacock has opened some ears with her different and happening voice. She even does some velvety duets with Bill Bruford: A mastery decade of tuned percussion Drummed for yes. King Crimson, Genesis, Gong did on tour a few years back with that upiquely avant-garde French band. Stewart shines on Bill’s tour-de-fours Lp, on which bassist Neil Murray also appears. Genesis and showman-drummer Phil Collins were also propped by stand-out Bruford, who got stand-up raves at the Century two years ago. Collins will be he first to say that Bill has been his major gujding force. It was good seeing Phil play more small percussion in this year’s concert, but Steve Hackett’s refusal to rock for high rollers (the same old beat) gives the guitarist, with his departure from Genesis, freedom to grow as Bruford did. Bill’s small kit and "kitchen-sink” set-up showcases his deft handiwork, the phrases and technique that put him on top of the heap. That forceful yet light complexity, honed for over a decade, make Bruford master of his own direction and an example that teaches a message “cook and be cool, don’t be no pop star’s fool!” N’est ce pas, monsoor Collins? — — KIDS BACK IN SCHOOL?

And as time further lubricates and the definition of stretches conservative, what is at present progressive soon becomes last year’s model. With reference to new wave music, and more specifically, punk, it is often useful to think in terms of progressive regression. The earlier forms of progressive rock and roll a la ELP, Yes, Genesis, and other terpsichordian burdens are whittled down to the four-chord lowest common wonder,denominator. Let’s do the it’s as if time warp again, kids the years ’70—76 are musically erased from the decade’s calendar. And in- spite of the lack of technical musical sophistication, progression implies movement and those pumping records made you MOVE! The most logical replacement for those synthesizer-soaked musical aggregates in their fans’ hearts could be the branch of music that is so esoterically referred to as art-school rock. This ignores the fact that most of the sixties British invasion was of bands whose comprised members were art students in and around London, art school being the final dumping ground for the uninspired. But academically forget about Keith Richard and Ray Davies for now. In 1971 a band emerged featuring the - REFRESHING AND EXCITING: Talking Heads has been called the most progressive rock of the turn of the decade with tremendous verbal power that doesn’t scream for an audience’s attention.

What he doesn’t say but which the film makes clear is that because Milton is no fun, we should fuck it and go out and get fucked. I can well anticipate the common response of those who liked the film: “Oh, come on. It was just a film for the fun of it.” My response is: I do not deny that Animal House is fun. I have only wished to point out that this fun comes at a high price. Crudity, offensiveness, the sacrifice i>f intelligence, of money better spent, and of talent such as that of John Belushi and Donald Sutherland, is a very high fee to pay for two hours of easy laughs.

A good number of us young folks have high hopes for the present, and cock rock ala Foreigner blows that all away too quickly. The Cars and Ocasck must feel us. If they are wondering what they are, where they are, even for a minute between punching a fist somewhere and not caring, playing at love and not needing, they conceive of the future. Definitely in their subconscious the Cars arc planning the result of sex or violence; then, with the danger lessened, they can proceed. So they’re not so though. Intelligent transportation And the Cars will succeed because, most of us are Tough on the surface, Thoughtful where it counts. If the Cars are all mixed up, they wax and wane in intelligence, continually moving the line where rationality ends and rationalizing begins.

The hearing, originally scheduled for September 14, was intended as a study of current governmental policy on nuclear waste disposal, exploring possible legislative options, so as to focus public attention on the problem. Deputy Chief of the State Attorney General’s Environmental Protection Bureau Paul Shemin said he still intends to hold the hearing, but probably not before January when a new Attorney General will be installed. The current State Attorney General Louis Lefkowitz, a Republican, will be retiring at the end of this year. The problem of nuclear waste disposal is of special interest to Western New Yorkers. The presence of 600,000 tons of untreated radioactive wastes at the West Valley reprocessing plant, just 30 miles south of Buffalo, has made the gubernatorial candidates’ views on waste disposal an important issue in the campaign. Governor Carey, a Democrat, has been widely criticized for his stand on nuclear power. Friends of the Earth, an environmental group, has charged that Carey’s stated opposition to the development of nuclear power plants is nothing more than election year “cheap talk,” evidenced by his continued refusal to push for anti-nuclear legislation.

LaPenna's team is approaching its first year of competition in the State University of New York Athletic Conference the Withoat (SUNYAC). aid of scholarships, UB had a fine 8-3 record last fall and is again anchored by top Western New York player Tod Miller.

A small white sphere rips thorugh the air toward a frail red picket fence. The young man that sent it there allows himself a momentary smile at his feat. The smile fades into a more serious look as he readies himself fo; more. of the rigorous practice routine Baseball is back on campus after a three month hiatus. The athletes are a little more tanned, but many of the faces are the same. For most of them, summer was spent learning a new or becoming more position proficient at an old one. If coach Bill Monkarsh’s crystal ball is accurate, the Bulls will display more consistent pitching this year than last. Monkarsh also believes the Bulls superb team speed will outweigh their suspect hitting. Last spring's nine seemed to delight in leaving runners on base. Here is a position by position rundown of the fall First base: Three men have emerged as potential successors to flashy Ed Durkin. Outfielder turned first baseman, Joe Vizzi is “as fast as anyone” on the team, according to Monkarsh, but he throws poorly. Lefty swinging John Gallagher has more power than the line drive hitting Vizzi but the 6-3 185 pounder is “very raw”. An All-Westetfl New York first baseman a year ago, Gallagher is expected to develop into a fine player. “He’s a diamond in the rough,” Monkarsh said. AlSo in the picture is Denny Howard, one of Monkarsh's top starting pitchers. Howard will See some DH duty on days he’s not pitching and “if anyone falters, Denny’s ready to step in and take over.” Second fe<rse:The Bulls are solid here with returning starter Pat Raimondo. Pat hit .368 last spring and stole 19 of 20 bases despite being bothered by an assortment of nagging injuries. “He' didn’t COFFEEHOUSE friday September 8 232 squire hall ■ : I ■ '. 8pm-? fe- , scrqtch his potential," Monkarsh Sports Editor team: 1 game. few unforced errbrs, which combined with his quickness makes a very tough player,” LaPenna said. Playing second singles will be a senior Ted Baughn, another consistent performer who prefers to keep the ball in play rather than continually attempting to hit winners. According to LaPenna more a Baughp prefers conservative game v that even Miller’s less than daring approach. LaPenna’s high hopes for this season are not solely based on Miller and Baughn. He anticipated having the best number three through six players has had iir UB hitting the baseline, fall season set to start Raimondo’s defense wasn’t sharp last year and Monkarsh believes the were injuries “He couldn’t work on responsible. any thing,” the coach said. Backing up are freshmen Matty Raimondo (Pat’s brother) and Richard Nicholson, and Junior Mike Morlock, who shifts over from shortstop. Shortstop: A battle between much improved Joe Marcella and Dave pitcher-shortstop Rosenhahn, a Pittsburgh Pirate draft pick last June. The pair will split duties irt tommorow’s searson opening doubleheader at Oneonta. Rosenhahn’s mechanics are weak, but he has “a lot of natural talent,” Monkarsh said. Third base: Mike Groh won’t be leading off the UB lineup anymore and the Bulls are sure to miss his .464 batting average. All-WNY pitcher-second Gene Dudek will try to learn the hot corner in his first year at UB. Dudek has been pressing at the plate and has not hit well in practice. Last year’s pinch runner, Joe Ward, had a fine summer and could see action at third. And John Pedersen, who can play almost any position well, is standing by. Catcher: Pedersen and Phil Ganci will divide the catching duties this fall. Ganci appears to have recovered from the shoulder injury that soured his spring. Defensive stalwart Denny Kelly backs up that duo with four freshmen receivers also available. Outfield: The Alou brothers they’re not but Scott Raimondo rounds out the trio of brothers that should become a campus conversation piece. The speedy centerfielder is flanked by veterans Jim Wojcik and Ron Couche. Pedersen will probably see outfield work in Monkarsh’s righthanded allignment. Both Raimondo and Wojcik are pouthpaws. The group played spectacularly at times last year and certainly are among the team’s strengths. Wojcik and Pedersen are the Bulls’ best clutch hitters. Sharing the caddy roles are freshmen Neil Lapash and Paul Mary and returnne Dan Kelly, who had “a real good summer” in Syracuse, according to Monkarsh. Pitching: Mike Betz is back and hopefully he’s healthy. The Bulls’ former ace hurt his arm last year and pitched only five innings. Lefty Joe Hesketh impressed almost everyone last year with his smooth delivery and darting fastball.| He’ll be the only lefthandfer in Buffalo’s starting rotation this year. Rounding out <he righties are Denny Howard, Don Griebner, Ed Retzer and Ron Nero. Monkarsh rarely lets his starters go more than six innings, hi fact, he plans to let each '( IU pitcher go three innings when the Bulls open their fall season tomorrow. �League intramurals mm ” * • 4* '■>• Jtt » Soccer: Rosters will be available for soccer intramurals between September 11-22 in Room 113.

Referees are needed! * DISCO TIME: Three UB football players appear to be practicing some strange new dance as the Bulls —Kiim their heels and blow-dry their hair for Saturday's encounter with Cortland State. polish Season commences tomorrow, Dando holds the football reins by David Davidson Assistant Sports Editor Like Secretariat and Foolish Mark runningbacks Pleasure, Gabryel and John Black hope to burst from the starting gates early, as UB football begins another chapter in its 84-year history. Under second year head coach Bill Dan do, the Bulls will face their first tomorrow challenge afternoon when they meet the young defense of the Cortland Red Dragons. Offense should be the tell-tale factor for any measure of success for Buffalo tomorrow and for the duration of the season. Black, recently converted from his accustomed tackle position to fullback, will pave the way for last year’s leading ground gainer, Gabryel. At 6-0, 180 lbs., the former Grand Island star will be the inside threat needed to compliment the outside strength of Gabryel. — With complimentary runningbacks, Dando must focus his attention on his core of Although quarterbacks. they no possess experience, Jim Rodiieguez and Scappa will be directing the Buffalo offense. Rodiieguez, a 6-1, 185 lb. junior has shown that he is capable of putting the ball in the air. Scappo, a freshman at 5-9, 170 lbs., at first glance strikes one as being too small for the position. But says Dando, “He’s like a waterbug out there, just scampering around.” As yet, Dando has not decided who will start at quarterback, but both are slated to see extensive action. Gary Quatrini, a transfer from Buffalo State, brings world-class speed to Rotary Field. A 9.3 sprinter in the 100, Quatrini carries a history of bad hands, but is still considered an explosive deep threat. Ranked on the opposite side returning letterman Frank Price. Price averaged over 11 yards per catch last season and barring unforeseen problems is capable of equaling, that figure this season. Joe Ryan iutd Tony Formato will be the backup for the starting duo. Bright spots will shine up front. Jim Vaux anchors a wall that is beefed up considerably from last year’s front five. Vaux, at 6-2, 245 lbs. has the strength to hold back the Cortland defensive line. Craig Cirbus was shifted from tackle to center to fill the gap left by the injured Gary Plotycia. Tim Karnes, the smallest lineman, will be at left guard. At 6-0, 205, the former Canisius H.S. star makes up for his lack of size with experience. Tight end Tim Lafferty is on the line not for his receiving, but for his blocking. The East Aurora senior will be instrumental in Gabryel’s success with the strong side sweep. Overall the outlook for the offense is better than last year. With a year under their belts, the Bulls will no doubt be more competitive offensively this year. Gabryel discussed the progress of the unit, touching a major point. “We’re a little behind the defense right now, but that’s because we’ve got more to learn Deeeefense Whether or not the attack is on target should not be a factor tomorrow. Cortland coach Roger Robinson disclosed that his defensive unit has been totally revamped this season. Last year the Red Dragons allowed 50 or more points in threiN games. Unseasoned, this year’s version cannot be that vastly improved. The Bulls defense it’s young in spots and well seasoned in others. Combined, that leaves some mystery in a nine game season. It’s no secret that Dando’s pet unit is his defensive line and linebacking crew. And it’s threse spots that make tough. Randy the defense Retzlaff, at defensive end, is the highest prospect the Bulls have come across in years. At 6-3, 224 lbs. the ex-Niagara-Wheatfield athlete will team up with Larry Rothman, Tony Da Dante, Dave Florek and Kevin Groody to provide the size and quickness that will hopefully shut off any opposing running attack. Dan Vecchies and Shane Currey are two linebackers that make up the youth and age movement of the Bulls. Vecchies is a sophomore who plays like an NFL veteran, but Currey is unproven. Only Jack Dunbar and Vecchies are returning linebackers from 1977. - begin Football Intramurals: Rosters are now available in Room 113,Clark Hall at 12 noon.

This critical handicap, coupled with a serious fiscal crunch hurled the Colleges into the vortex of that all too familiar vicious cycle: little money leading to decreasing faculty suppport, leading to less money, etc. The Colleges, whose financial backing depended on faculty participation, soon became embattled members of the University community, fighting both academic departments and each other for money. their community oriented goals, the Committee. Aesthetic diversity was suggested as a possible solution to this problem. From antagonism to truce The Committee applauded the Colleges’ interaction with both the and the surrounding University Claimed the report: “In community. contrast to the anatogonism which was very apparent some years ago, the mood between the Colleges and the rest of the community appears to be that of a truce, if not a peace." The statement is in some ways a panorama of the Colleges’ history. From their inception the Colleges found themselves in serious need of both faculty and money. As embryonic institutions, the Colleges had the traditional difficulties in procuring money from the Univcristy. Lacking essential funds, the Colleges were unable to attract herds of faculty members to their ranks for either part or full time employment. In addition, participation in College courses Struck by generosity Faculty The Senate’s Reichert Prospectus, devised in 1974, sought to aid the troubled Colleges. Hie Prospectus set up a chartering procedure by which each College was to undergo a periodic review of everything from fun to funding. The Committee found this examination process to be unique among American universities and largely successful. It even suggested that similar chartering processes might be beneficial if applied to the Seminar on hunger hit song “Take me back to Washington”. Pittsburgh 56, Seattle 7.

Muted criticism Eventually, the grandiose plans were scaled down and the number of Colleges of by Merlin and Eddie was trimmed in half. Along with many other portions of the Amherst dream, some of the Colleges dissolved and many soon viewed the organizations as roads to easy “A”s and single dorm rooms. Today, according to the report, “the shrillest criticism seems muted, and the problems now look like those in any orthodox part of a major university: priorities for overall budget allocations, student FTEs, quality of teaching and so on.” The Committee has found the Colleges to have overcome their growing pains and resolved their most Serious problems. Steps in community involvement, social intercourse and faculty participation have all been actively taken and the Colleges are now at the crossroads of their existence. “What happens next,” the report states, “will determine whether the Colleges develop into an established integral part of the total undergraduate programs of the University, or regress into their former embattled minority positions.” They will be closely watched. entire University. Funding problems have been eased to some extent. No longer arc Colleges constantly wrestling with each other for funds, and while money is still scarce, the Committee was “struck by the fact that those Colleges [which received more money] were willing to help out the less fortunate ones: a mode of collegiate behavior which happens also to be one admirable though not well known aspects of the Oxford Colleges.” When conceived, along with the ambitious Amherst Campus, the Colleges were to be living and learning centers. Every student, commuter or resident, was to belong to a college and have something there to call his own, a locker, a dorm bed, etc. There were to be 30 Colleges in centers like the Ellicott Complex, which was designed for such purposes, where students could work side by side with faculty members. — .

All SA officials interviewed agreed that Cukan was a diligent worker with a dedication to the corporation. There was disagreement within the SA however about the legitimacy of Mott’s move. SA Treasurer Fred Wawrzonek, who is openly opposed to Mott’s handling of the affair, strongly disagreed with the decision to fire Cukan. “Alex was very qualified by virtue of her knowledge and devotion to the corporation,” Wawrzonek said. “I don’t know what kind of changes Mott expects to bring about.” He claimed Mott is confused about the direction he should take with FSA. “He doesn’t know what he wants to do,” said Wawrzonek, “and he wants someone else to come up with some ideas.” Diligent worker Wawneonek, making no effort to hide his discontent with Mott’s mode of operation, compared him to President Ketter. “If Mott has trouble with people, he gets rid of them,” he said flatly. “Heads roll.” Other SA officials agreed that Cukan was a dedicated worker, although none were directly involved in her dealings with FSA. All generally accepted Mott’s decision, however, and felt that he was acting reasonable and rationally. An administration representative to the FSA Board, Len Snyder, such as the California Housing Council and the high turnover rate did not wish to venture into “student politics,” but agreed Cukan was a hard worker. of the rents they seek to unify.

Reiss Special to The Spectrum The snail’s pace of Amherst construction was hastened slightly last week when the State opened bids for two engineering buildings on the campus. The bidding was apparently won by the John W. Cowper Co. of Buffalo which submitted a figure of $9,178,000 for the construction of the projects. University officials have stressed that no final decision has been made and that contracts will not officially be awarded for about three weeks. Thw two projects, a civil engineering and a mechanical engineering building, will rise north of Fronczak Hall. Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal said that groundbreaking for the structures is expected sometime in late October. He explained that certain legal matters, including assurances that the correct bonds are posted, must be resolved before work can begin. Bonds for the facilities will be backed with tuition money from State University of New York students. Word on the enigmatic Phase I of the gym, the less 10,000-seat fieldhouse, —Is somewhat encouraging. The long delayed design of the project remains- unfinished and hence progress continues to be slowed. Even when the design is completed, construction Of the facility will require three steps, and three bidding procedures. First, the site for the $12.5 million facility, located east of Clemens Hall, must be cleared. Site work will indue the ripping apart of the now unused portion of Millersport Highway and should cost approximately $35,000, according to Neal. Second, a contractor must be found for the construction of the steel frame which will support the roof of the fieldhouse. Neal called the roof “a major structural system” and said it will work in harmony with the rest of the facility no matter who builds it. Finally, when the design is completed, the project must be put on the market and construction of the major portion of the facility will begin. Neal said that he hoped work could begin beforythe end of the calendar year and explained that winter is a good time to begin foundation work since the ground is firm. He claimed the project should take about two years to complete. Even when it is finished, the University will be in desperate need of Phase II, the actual gynasium. Designs for that structure are still in the embryonic stage. The fieldhouse is mainly a sports arena. Construction of other facilities on Amherst are moving along on schedule. The biology greenhouse, located adjacent to the Cooke-Hochstetter towers, should be completed by late this calendar year, Neal said. The two maintenance buildings going up near Maple Road are also slated for completion by December. Utility structures and general sitework around the campus are expected to be finished by next summer. Work on Baird Pt., the Greek towered amphitheater rising from the foreboding waters of Lake LaSalle, is virtually done. The facility will be dedicated this Sunday. The new arena is designed to become meeting a place on the otherwise crossroads-free campus. Amherst construction could become a key issue in Western New York during the gubernatorial primary. During the first three years of his administration, Governor Carey slowed work on the campus to a near halt citing the State’s shaky fiscal standing as his reason. On a trip to Buffalo earlier this summer, the governor pledged his support foyearly $50 million in funds for the campus. Perry Duryea, the Republican Party nominee, has already blamed Carey for slowing the campus’ growth and has stated that as governor, he would get the campus moving again. Vol. 29, No. 10 Wednesday, 6 September 1978 State University of New York at Buffalo Crucial decisions this year to shape University's future by Jay Rosen Editor-in-Chief Through all the crises real and imagined, through all the shifts in emphasis and locale, through all the upheavals and upturns, the University will probably remember this academic year as its most crucial of the decade. Analysis Nearly all the forces that shape the institution’s future are entering a critical period. And when classes close in May, we may all be marching to a different beat from any number of different drummers. The two offices which hold the most power over the University, the President’s and the Governor’s, are occupied by men who are now at the crossroads of their careers. At a place brimming with plans and missions, the document which will have the most telling effect on our future an Academic Plan will emerge this year. SUNY Buffalo’s most vexing problem, stalled construction, will show visible signs of easing while its most wayward son, undergraduate education is given a thorough examination - - In the eye of every storm is, of course, President Robert L. Ketter. This fall he will face probably his toughest decision in eight onerous years in the presidency whether to seek a third term. Last spring, when charges of insularity and - incompetence whipped around Ketter and students demanded his ouster, observers close to Capen Hall felt he would never run for re-appointment and risk rejection. Although he has kept characteristically silent on the issue, Ketter has certainly not raised any white flags. Quite to the contrary, he stonewalled his critics, waited patiently for the summer recess to blow away the storm and set out to convince the campus community what an open and forthright man he can be. Diplomacy, etc. With this newfound sensitivity finding the president speaking informally to incoming freshmen, in person on a WBFO call-in show, and in conference with students who he urged to drop by his office, Ketter would seem to be gunning for-student backing in a re-appointment try. By diplomatically accepting changes in the Faculty Senate by-laws, by volunteering to add Senate chairman Newton Garver to his academic cabinet and by parading prestigious additions to the faculty with a renewed vigor, the far president also appears to be wooing faculty support more crucial in the appointment process. The mood in Capen Hall is much more relaxed and open, hinting at greater harmony in the Administration. The opening of the Baird Point amphitheater, a re-starting of Amherst construction, and the christening of a commercial development on Parcel B will all serve to heighten campus morale, a factor which can only work in Ketter’s favor. — . Malcontents surfacing All of which makes his decision more debatable and even more crucial. There are still deep, unwavering resentments working against -the President within the faculty and administration. Influential sources in the faculty have indicated that a re-appointment try would bring many long-silent malcontents to the surface. Despite recent pleasantries, students are almost sure bets to campaign against Ketter. In choosing a president for the future, for the next keeping order, handling five years, Ketter’s strengths budgetary strain, charming the community _would seem uninspiring somewhat trivial next to his weaknesses leadership, insularity and lack of creative vision. If Ketter decides to seek re-appointment, a committee appointed by SUNY Chancellor Chifton Wharton (to include one administrator, one student, one faculty member and one member of the College Council) would A governor who is willing to rekindle Rockefeller’s grandiose vision of SUNY buffalo could be the most important boost the University will receive in the next five years "... ” . . will begin for representation on the search committee for a new president. “Power politics” University-style will spice the academic climate during the second semester. Vice President for Health Sciences Carter Pannill is likely to emerge as a well-supported candidate while the rest of the campus clamors for someone from outside the University. In any event, the eventual occupant of 501 Capen Hall will unquestionably play the lead role in guiding the University into the 1980s. Although Ketter’s term does not end until mid-1980, he will no longer pull the strings on the institution’s future if he becomes a lame duck president this year. If he somehow makes it through the re-appointment gauntlet an unlikely possibility Ketter will have to pull a stunning reversal of form and marshall full support behind him for the years 1980-85. — - * * * • * , - — - Although Ketter’s term does not end until mid-1980, he will no longer pull the strings on the institution's future if he becomes a lame duck president this year " . . . . and sent off on a new mission As the University searches for a vision not washed in gloom, the year 1978-79 will be filled with difficult and, no doubt, divisive choices. review Ketter’s performance beginning early next spring.

Certainly from the student viewpoint, she is the candidate to support, having pledged to support greater student roles in policy making and to liberalize financial aid guidelines. Krupsak is considered strong on education, hence she may very well be the University’s best bet. Although Krupsak is well supported in the Buffalo area, her downsftte alliance is weak and she has angered many Democratic heavyweights with her bolt from the Carey this summer. Therefore, she must be considered a long shot. With State finances improving each year, the support SUNY Buffalo receives will depend increasingly on the bandwagon desires of the Governor and the legislature, which is also in an election year. Crises in the State treasury will cease to become an excuse for abandoning the Amherst dream. A governor who is willing to rekindle Rockefeller’s gradiose vision of SUNY Buffalo could be the most important boost the University will receive in the next five years. This University is a graveyard of attempts to forge an Academic Plan, or blueprint for the institution’s growth. After years of repeated failures that widened the gap between the administration and faculty, Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F.

Out of the group’s informal discussions and reports, the General Education Committee was born. The committee is now working on a program for a broader, more cohesive approach to higher forms of learning that will tailor undergraduate programs here to some definition of what an educated person is. Its first report is scheduled in October, with concrete programs set to emerge in February. — — The team of Bunn, Peradotto and Moore must assume real leadership roles in a year when the presidency may be in upheaval or in limbo ...” . . University-wide formula for evaluating which programs will be nourished with additional money, which will be left at their current levels of support, and which if any must be allowed to atrophy. — - Bunn’s efforts have culminated in a draft of an Academic Plan now being circualted throughout the University for input. The draft emphasizes “centers of excellence,” i.e., particular programs which should be given the chance to attain national prominence. It also proposes that programs in Management, Engineering, Law and Architecture be awarded additional funds. The plan repeatedly stresses that outside research grants will provide the only “growth money” for many middle-priority programs. , Springer report General Education and its accompanying quest to unify knowledge in the minds of students is perhaps the most exciting and potentially progressive movement within the undergraduate division here for the last eight years. Meanwhile, something will have to be done this year with the Springer report on contact/credit hours. After four years of off-and-on debate, the Faculty Senate adopted the “Carnegie Unit” (one credit for each classroom hour) last December as an academic base. The Springer report, approved nearly unanimously by the Senate, recommended that each department examine its undergraduate courses and either justify retaining a four-credit-for-three-classroom-hour policy or “devalue” four credit courses to three. Those evaluations should be this year and the revamping of the completed Lose the most Bunn’s plan will probably run into opposition from Letters, Social Sciences and The the areas of Arts Colleges, since they stand to lose the most.

Football will play a full slate of games this year and should provide the campus with some old fashioned school spirit. The largest freshmen class ever will enter the University.

Assemblyman James Fremming, whose district includes the Amherst Campus, will face a-tough re-election challenge. The division of Heatlh Sciences is drafting an Academic Plan. And SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton is entering his first full year. To say the University is at a crossroads is something of an understatement. When the financial noose tightened in 1973 and campus morale began sinking, SUNY Buffalo nearly became the Titanic of the nation’s great universities a monumental dream that began to rupture. With critical choices to be made at every turn, the University now stands on the threshold of realizing some slice of that dream. — — — /" �Krupsak blasts CcirCy’ pledges to aid students After Bourne: Cohn is no longer by Rob Cohen by Harvey Shapiro Special to The Spectrum Contributing Editor Decrying the insensitivity of Governor Carey’s administration. Licutentant Governor Mary Anne Krupsak addressed a medium sized crowd in Haas Lounge yesterday afternoon. Sporting a conservative blue dress and an “I Love New York” pendant, Krupsak keynoted change and an increased sensitivity of the public’s needs as the hallmarks of the new administration she hopes to lead. the candidate mid-July With her campaign off to a late start hopes to pull off an upset victory against Carey in next week's primaries. The latest polls have her trailing the Governor, although Carey’s margin is slim in Western New York. An attentive audience listened to Krupsak’s proposals on alternative energy and student related issues that were punctuated by attacks on Carey for failing to reverse the elitist and Irresponsive policies of former Governor Rockefeller. Krupsak indicated she joined Carey’s administration four years ago confident that the new Governor would institute real change and reform, only to be dismayed later at “continued decline of the state.” - Moratorium She lashed out at the Governor for speaking out of “both sides of his mouth” on pressing issues like nuclear power. Carey, she claimed, has come out publicly against nuclear power production as the solution for the state’s energy crunch but at the same time has failed to back up his words with appropriate actions. Instead, she indicated, the Governor’s energy commissions are busy working on plans for three new nuclear power plants. Krupsak announced she would issue a statewide moratorium on nuclear construction if elected Governor, a remark that drew wide applause from the audience. Calling UB one of the state’s greatest resources, she expressed indignation at Carey’s withholding *of funds for Amherst construction and at state-enforced austerity measures such as curtailed library hours. Indicating that the Governor’s recent release of Amherst construction funds was politically motivated by the upcoming elections, she pledged consistent and unwavering support for the University. Saying that students deserve support and recognition, Krupsak reeled off a list of specific commitments to students including a repeal of the healtlrfee, a cap on State University tuition, adequate funding of the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) which assists minority students, making part-time students eligible for Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) benefits and increased student participation in university policy making. In an interview following her speech Krupsak said “1 would be extremely proud” if it were known that students put '' me over the top.” ' ~ West Valley She went on to cite her extensive support of tourism and cultural affairs as Lieutenant Governor a record which includes the bailing out of a venerable New York City institution. Radio City Music Hall. “We have neglected one of New York’s greatest sources of potential revenue, tourism,” she said. In another oblique attack upon Carey, she declared that the people are tired of being bought by promises with no commitment: “A real commitment is needed to follow through on environmental issues, phasing out of nuclear power, urban homesteading and SUNY construction projects like Amherst. The Governor has convened three cabinet meetings in three years which indicates something is drastically wrong in commitment.” Throughbutr his tenure in office Carey has been known to confine high level decision making to a close inner circle of advisors, a circle which has largely excluded Lieutenant Governor Krupsak. This frustrating state of affairs did much to alienate Krupsak from Carey and led to her unexpected and volatile break with the Governor last July.

This revelation, coupled with the report of a phony drug prescription Bourne wrote, eventually led to the expert’s resignation as Jimmy Carter’s special advisor on drug abuse. The New York Times reported that Bourne considered quitting his post after the phony prescription story was published but had decided to stay and prove his “innocence.” But Cohn’s bombshell story, the Times reported, persuaded Bourne to give up his $51,000 a year job. Although the story has given him some fame, Cohn admitted to having “reservations” about seeing it in print. “Sometimes I feel as if I shouldn’t have written the story,” he told The Spectrum, “because I use those drugs as well.

We have too many misconceptions about each other.” The role of the black women writer will also be explored in the class a topic with which Parker Rhodes is familiar. A professional writer, she believes that the black female has been ignored in the literary field. “All you hear about is Richard Wright or a man’s Harlan Ellison.

Donation is one dollar. , Annexes and libraries undergoing conversion The Abbott and Diefendorf Annexes, which now stand empty and dormant, will get a new lease on life, according to Vice President for Facilities and Planning John Neal. Neal said that the Abbott facility was just moments away from being dismantled last week when it won a last minute reprieve from the maintenance department, which needs the annex for storage space The building was to be dismantled because it is “in terrible shape structurally” said Neal. A “radical change will occur in the Diefendorf Annex,” Neal indicated. The building will now house two fully accessible flat floor lecture halls, designed for handicapped students whose classes were scheduled in rooms which are inaccessible, Neal said. The halls will be located in the west end of the annex and occupy approximately one-quarter of the building. The plans for the remainder of the building, though tentative, call for study space throughout the hall. The Diefendorf Annex, which housed the Undergraduate Library (UGL), and the Abbott Annex, which contained part of the Abbott Library collection, have stood empty since the summer when the UGL and Abbott Library were moved to new quarters on the Amherst Campus. With the move of both the Undergraduate and Abbott Libraries to Amherst, the Art and Hall Libraries of the Ellicott Complex are also undergoing changes. The Ellicott libraries will be incorporated into the new, larger UGL and Lockwood facilities but their shelves will not remain empty for long. The Art Library, which previously housed art information exclusively, will now house the Art History slide collection in addition to an Anthropology display and reserach area. The arrangement for the Hall facility now used for material left on reserve by faculty includes the possible combination of a computing center and a study hall. Neal is optimistic about this plan, saying it provides a “supervised study hall.” As for additional study space on the Amherst Campus, Neal views the issue as “a live one.” Facilities and Planning, along with various other groups, is presently investigating the problem and its ramifications, he said.

Here there’s lots more walking,” said Marilyn Haas, a reference librarian who now works at a white circular desk in the middle of the second floor. • The new Lockwood has six floors, and three times the space of the old library. Haas feels that it is not designed so people can find their way around easily. “The main entrance should be at ground level. Rest rooms should be where people can see them without asking.” She also wishes it were more colorful. The grey carpeting and tan shelves dominate the red, green and blue modular furniture.

To the limited extent that the University controls its own destiny, decisions made here, in 1978—79, will change students' academic lives in the most fundamental ways. The number of courses students take, the thrust and educational objectives of those courses and the very definition of what a bachelor's degree represents will all be debated and decided, mostly in public. fThe — Major academic decisions are rendered by the Faculty. Major spending decisions are rendered by the Administration. The chance for students to wedge themselves between these power blocks rests not in simply protesting the imbalance, but rather in showing why it must be ammended. The faculty of individual departments must be shown that their students are interested and qualified to participate in curriculum review. The Faculty Senate and the Vice President for Academic Affairs must be shown that student representatives are interested and qualified to follow the decision making chain to its conclusion, and deserve several links in that chain? Graduate students have historically proven themselves better equipped than undergrads to defend their rights in decision-making. though traditionally more inept Student Association (SA) has already succeeded in installing the mechanism for large scale student input in critical areas like the General Education Committee. - - What's missing is grassroots support or, at the very least, interest. The student body at large must show an interest in its academic future by following the issues (The Spectrum will do its part here by explaining and analyzing key areas), by assuming at least a participatory role in the process (showing up for meetings and forums, etc.) and by cooperating with SA officials as they attempt to gauge exactly how students want their rights protected. Perhaps it's the new year, or some new sense of optimism, but we don’t think its unreasonable at all for the "average" student to consider dropping by his government's office and discussing how an education should be structured. We don't think its unreasonable at all to expect that the average student might carefully follow crucial issues like: how many required courses should there be? And we especially don't think its unreasonable to predict that students as an interest group can have a navigator's role as the University charts its course for the next five years. Follow the issues. Attend the meetings. Have a say. A University is not something done to students, but rather with students. Let's keep reminding ourselves of that.

Guest Opinion On the ‘good ol’ days’ now by Elena Cacavas So you’re young, and scared, and confused and well aware that these may very well be the best years of your life. College can do that to you, indeed. That 18-year-old bubble you’ve been hiding in has just burst and you now find yousclf in a pseudo-world called a University. Supposedly, the most difficult years of your life It is now that are ending, but if you believe that you are midway between nursery rhymes and theses; no longer a child yet not quite an adult. In these next four years of preparing for the “real world,” you’ll be questioned and questioning, sorting and grasping. You will finally be asked to explain why you hold those values or ideas you established a few years ago. And much will change ... Naturally, classes will fit into this existence somewhere, but they are virtually there for show. The true education is within new situations, people and encounters the real elements behind the fine fascades of education. Sure, we’ll sit up at ungodly hours wrestling with Calculus and 200 pages of World War II; some of us will exult with satisfaction at a cume above 3.5 while others will soothe their bruised egos (and transcripts) with promises for next ... - semester. But little of this determines the person you’ll be in four years. Long after you’ve forgotten Marbury vs. Madison, you’ll remember the talks, the tears and the laughter ... The point of this piece is not to encourage failure or discredit education. Society and life mandate higher education. However, the timing coincides with a. very important phase of your existence. The point is not to sit up ights worrying about your major or create fits of anxiety because you haven’t any idea where you’ll be in five years. This is not to say that you won’t da this, but just realize that we’re all in the same boat beating against the relentless current called maturity. Realize that a lot will fall into place and only too soon you’ll he thrust out into a world from which you can only look back to these years you are now entering. to So, in between heartaches and term papers try remember that these are the good ol’ days - learning, loving, understanding. Try to put some faith in fate and waste precious time watching a sunset or throwing a frisbee. Try to attain enlightenment to the fact that the.rainbow you are seeking is often the one you leave to begin your journey. Dd% by Daniel S. Paiker floor while you chomp on your Big Mac.

Fonda was smuggled into a Stevens plant in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina. She had been a supporter of the worldwide boycott but the politically active actress admitted that she “had never realized the extent to which the Stevens workers have been made to suffer.” The sound of the machinery “was deafening” and “made the entire floor shake violently,” according to her report.

Southern textile workers have not been able to convince J.P.Stevens to recognize union organizations of the 44,000 workers in some 85 plants. The allegedly oppressive working conditions and the management’s refusal to allow a union to enter has made J.P. Stevens a nationwide focal point for labor reform in the textile industry. The boycott movement has marshalled considerable support of college campuses across the country. The boycott is headed by religious organizations in Los Angeles, New York, Kansas City and Cinncinnati. Fonda also joins the Democratic State Committee of New York in the fight against J.P. Stevens.

However, a recent turn of events indicates that the company has marketed a lemon which is potentially rotten to the chord. Since the 500’s inception,-35 deaths have been traced to the tire’s defective manufacture. These are only confirmed cases. Sources from the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYP1RG) claim that the actual death toll may be considerably higher. Although it is nearly impossible to determine a true count of automotive accidents resulting from the 500’s defect, the Congressional Subcommittee’s recommendation is the first step being taken to ensure a ban on the product. NYP1RG issued a severe warning to an estimated 400,000 New Yorkers who currently rely on the tires, stating, “They (500 owners) are in grave danger of injury or death due to serious defects in the tire’s construction.” ACHEL CARSON COLLEGI Courses Still Open Alternate Energy Systems Rock Climbing Air £ Water Quality Intro.

At least 35 people have died, dozens more have been injured, and tens of thousands of dollars of property Although Firestone refused to comment to The Spectrum, the company has admitted that these tires are dangerous. Testifying before the Commerce g) Committee of the House of Representatives, a Firestone spokesman acknowledged that consumers 3 who drive cars utilizing the 500 tires with “below 4 g" pounds under inflation are on the threshhold of H danger.” $5 “This is tantamount to an admission of guilt,” 00 said Ross. “Firestone is familiar with the tests conducted by the National Bureau of Standards which showed that one our of three gas stations’ air towers are inaccurate by four or more pounds. Most consumers, as Firestone well knows rely on these air towers to set lire pressure. “Each time they do,” concluded Ross, “puls them on the ‘threshhold of danger’ if they drive on Firestone 500's.” Since the 500’s defective construction findings have been reported. Firestone itself has been under pressure to take immediate action. But the company has not exactly been burning rubber to rectify the problem. Only recently, Firestone admitted that sales volume has dropped. Yet, Firestone executives continue to take a hard stand, claiming that recalling or reimbursing 500 owners is “almost impossible.” The company has yet to release any information as to how the defects were created, but automobile owners, manufacturers and Congressional leaders alike are not sitting idle waiting for explanations. The Subcommittee’s recent Congressional recommendation paves the way for the Federal Commission, Trade the Department of Transportation or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to intercede and exercise their authority by issuing a general recall order of the hazardous tires.

While Firestone claims that recalling all 500 model tires will be an expensive proposition, they admit that their records concerning 500 owners “are not quite thorough,” especially since the Firestone 500 tire has been sold under different trademarks. The same tire is sold as Montgomery Ward’s “Grappler 8000” and is Shell’s “Super Shell Steel Belted Radials.” According to one local Firestone dealer who wished to remain anonymous, “If the Congressional Subcommittee ever investigated other major tire companies, they’d find comparable defects in their tires.” Regardless of the outcome, one thing seems apparent. While Goodyear is known for its blimp, and Goodrich is referred to as the “other guy,” Firestone’s new motto may become, “Firestone, where the rubber meets the road and the road meets the chassis and the fender and the bumper!...” Where rubber meets NYPIRG and other interest groups across the nation are effecting stronger steps. Plans are already underway for Campaign Firestone, a national boycott of all Firestone products, until the company doles out rebates to all 500 owners and pays for damages the tires have created while on the road. These actions would be in addition to the recall of the 15 million tires still on the road.

She said she will not campaign for him. \ J Wind power Recalling the progressive outlook and idealistic zeal of late Senator Robert Kennedy, she pledged to continue what he started. “Western New York,” she said, “can become the nation’s energy capitol with the new alternative energies like wind and solar power.” (Western New York’s high winds are considered a largely untapped source of energy production.) The candidate then alluded to the wind power research being conducted at several SUNY colleges and universities including Buffalo. When asked how she would handle the 600,000 gallons of nuclear waste sitting In rusting tanks at the defunct West Valley Nuclear Reprocessing plant in Chattauqua County, Krupsak indicated she would seek help from the federal Department of Energy in facilitating their disposal as Carey has done, but not on the condition that New York accept more nuclear wastes originating largely out-of-state, as has been proposed.

Yesterday afternoon she clarified that charge, stating that the Governor was delinquent in the full disclosure of the health hazard. She maintained that the critical nature of the situation was known to the Governor in April but that nothing much was done until the story splashed across the newspapers in August. Krupsak pledged- to clean up the toxic wastes at the Love Canal and make an extensive visit there upon being elected governor. She said compensation to area residents is not enough, adding that the area must be made safe so homeowners can move back in. She rebelled at the idea of having realtors buy the land up. Krupsak then blasted the enormous cost of the Westway highway project in New York City which has the support of Governor She maintained that the six thousand dollar per inch cost of the project is unconscienable, the money being better spent on the improvement of mass transportation an undertaking that would cost far less. - ‘Doc Clinic’ The Government Documents department of Lockwood Library will sponsor five two-hour “Doc Clinics” during the week of September 25. .hose who enroll will learn how to locate and use government publications.

The *- ■g University and the surrounding Faculty Senate set to reorganize committee In an attempt to reorganize its internal committee structure, the Faculty Senate Executive Committee established a subcommittee on Committees at its meeting Wednesday. The motion came in lieu of the confused status of standing committees, advisory committees and committees involving Faculty Senate input. Currently, some standing committees have dissolved, some committees have two names while the functions of others overlap, and blurred lines mar the responsibilities of committees jointly appointed by the Administration and Faculty Senate. Faculty Senate Chairman Newton Carver told the well-attended meeting that he was pleased “and encouraged” by a letter from University President Robert L. Ketter supporting the newly proposed I approve of the Faculty Faculty Senate by-laws. Ketter stated are consistent with, and subject to Senate by-laws in so far as they and state laws...” Trustee policies, union agreements, Ketter also reported the addition of three new personnel to his cabinet, an academic advisory body: one student, one member of the Professional Staff Senate, and Carver as a representative of the Faculty.!

The issue received local attention in The Buffalo Evening News and The Courier Express. Shortly thereafter, the story graced the front page of The New ,York Times and eventually was chronicalled in both Newsweek and Time matazines. CBS’s 60 of minutes is considering featuring the issue. An increase of S00 to 600 freshman enrollment, coupled with department's academic nabbing of 136 beds in the EUicott Complex, has spread a panicky search for off campus housing. Approximately 300 freshmen were placed on housing waiting lists and were given no guarantee for dormitory space. The scarcity of rooms led to a feverish demand for alternate housing and the University's Off Campus Housing (OCH) Office fell under a crush of requests for available space. At one point, 200 students and parents daily were crowding the office requesting rooms for rent. The having i, largely caused the problem, lent some support to the desperate students when it consented to allocate $1000 to OCH The money was used to pay for ads in The Spectrum, The Buffalo Evening News and The Courier Express. Although the crisis has eased to some extent, requests for rooms are still pouring into OCH at a steady rate.

The SUMY Board of Trustees must formally approve Peradotto’s appointment as Dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education and Associate vice President for Academic Affairs. The Board’s approval, expected later this month, is usually little more than a rubber stamping. Peradotto, former chairman of the Classics department, told The Spectrum he did not formally apply for the position, but was recommended to Ketter by members of the faculty. Peradotto said that because he “feels strongly about the issues facing general education” he accepted the invitation. The post, formerly Occupied by Walter M. Kunz on an “acting” basis, combines the DUE Deanship and Associate Vice President roles for the first time. General Education which Peradotto called his “most important problem” as Dean seeks to redefine what an educated person is and tailer undergraduate curriculum to that definition. It is generally seen as a trend away from narrowly-based specialization in a field and iway from absolute academic freedom in coarse selection. The Dean-to-be also expressed concern to the academic advisement program at this University. There are now only 12 DOE advisors for the more than 12,000 undergraduate students at US. He called it a “bad situation for everyone.” In a brief interview, Peradotto indicated he was also interested in some “very broad rules concerning faculty responsibility.” He said that he knew students who were very unhappy with faculty members who failed to come to class. Peradotto said that “students have the right to have faculty show up for class if they are contseoted to d* so.” Peradotto said that the debate on General Education has been spiced by those who advocate a large number of mandatory courses, - - me«lmMjp.ee »•“*> 14— One of last year’s mayor student triumphs appears to be an empty, ot at least meaningless, one this far. A committee initiated to study the implementation of the “Springer Report” has yet to meet and no sessions are scheduled. The Springer Report, adopted in December of 1977 by the Faculty Senate, calls for a shift away from the four course load. The report recommended that a “one credit for one classroom hour” policy be adopted as an academic base, with exceptions for courses heavy in outside work to be made on a limited scale. Students are currently granted four credits for three classroom hours. Under former Student Association (SA) President Dennis DgUa students convinced Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn to delay implementation of the report until its effect on class sice, bussing and other logistical problems ce«M be studied by die committee. The establishment of the committee was viewed as a major triumph since students had maintained the throughout report’s the debate that recommendations were impractical, given the University’s space and money shortages. SA Executive Vice President Karl Schwartz suggested that the hoM up on the committee’s work could be traced to decreased pressure on the Administration from SONY Central to adopt the equal credit policy. The Administration here ' ineffective. The Administration has felt little pressure from SUNY Central since then to change. General Education Another reason for the committee’s delay, to Schwartz, is that departmental curriculum reviews, originally due March 1978, have not yet been completed. A new credit policy cannot begin to be implemented until all departments have reviewed their curricula and evaluated their present credit policies. A third reason for the committee's stagnation could be that sweeping changes in the undergraduate curriculum may be proposed by the General Education Committee, which is currently meeting. Schwartz is a student member of the committee. “It would be silty for the Srpinger Committee to re-establish curriculum guidelines if the General Education Committee does the same,” Schwartz according said. Committee representatives from SA have not yet been appointed due to a lack of applicants last Spring. Schwartz is optimistic, however, about the opportunity for increased student involvement in future curriculum changes. “The Administration isn’t giving as much as I’d like to see, but it is making sure students are involved,” said Schwartz. He added that the General Education Committee has been very receptive to student input and, in fact, has encouraged student involvement. “The General SONY Central Tune 1976 Education Committee has some very enlightened and receptive faculty members,” Schwartz said. “If the Springer Committee gets good faculty merttebrs it Mf DISAPPOINTING NEWS: While tome student* have given up and gone home< others continue to search for an ever dwindling supply of off-campus housing, Even those lucky enough to find a place are being forced to pay more rant at landlords capitalize on the plight of students.

There are now virtually no apartments for rent within walking distance of either campus, only single rooms in almost full student houses. No dormitory rooms are available on either campus. The housing crisis can be traced to this semester’s enrollment "increase of 2000, the temporary housing of academic departments in residential buddings and the 60 percent return rate of dorm students (up 10 percent) all issues to be studied by the newly formed Student Housing Task Force. Last spring, it appeared that mostly freshmen ' would be getting the shaft 500 extra were admitted; 160 scheduled for tripling and 300 frosh and transfers were put on a dormitory room waiting list and told that they should not expect rooms. Since that time, many found off-campus living space, assisted by irate parents who drove up to Buffalo for a first hand look at the crisis. Last month, Housing was contacted by politicians who wanted to know why UB was doing this to young freshmen. The second floor of Spaulding Quad Buildings 1,2 and 3, and two floors in Pritchard Hall - - — : tVE. •«* . A were opened for freshqian housing. “All but a handful of those freshmen who requested housing have now been accomodated,” said Associate Director of Housing Cliff Wilson. Most foreign students found off-campus rooms through the Foreign Student Orientation Office, working with Off-Campus Housing (OCH). Most of the 200 homeless people who daily scour the listings at OCH, then, are graduate, transfer and late-admitted students, Landlord field day? Expense, quality, safety and other considerations are being dwarfed by students’ immediate need for shelter, giving landlords a heavier hand than usual. Several students who recently signed leases believe that they are being overcharged because of the current “sellers’ market.’’ Russell Blum, a senior here, said he and his housemates are each paying $115 monthly including utilities for a four-bedroom apartment. The average rent per person for this type of flat should be $88, according to Current Housing Facts and Figures, a pamphlet published by OCH in April 1977. Blum’s landlord recently added another tenant at an additional $115, instead of lowering the Others’rents - accordingly. page 20— , �I g- I i I J |a f I If Pa I fjj '4 flj Ik I . if j w- : I 1 I | a 9 II walkway, and a ped.str.an mall. f/T V+l w fvl IL L/lvll IO I I “ a* m m 9 I * I rfi n/1 If I fVff U t fnCkSlffilP I wVvI f . — by Leah B.

The Division of the Budget (DOB) has asked Roy to keep an additional 7 lines frozen, in essence creating 14 fewer faculty spaces. The elimination of the lines will cause “a reduction in activities for all the libraries,” commented Roy. The director indicated that the Undergraduate Library (UGL) will be open for 15 fewer hours per week than last year. The budget crunch has also eliminated ten professional positions in the system. Shifting sympathy out that the subscriptions to periodicals and journals will have to be reduced since the DOB has 10 percent only allocated a increase in next year’s budget for subscription costs when subscription costs have jumped 15-20 percent in the past year. Roy pointed present At present the library system is "o attempting to install a facility on ft the MMain Street Campus and one g at Ridge Lea. Roy said that both 3 these libraries would contain reserve materials, journals with both current and back issues and selected reference titles for those departments remaining on the respective campuses. The Main Street library is to be housed in the old Science and Engineering Library space.and will have following disciplines: Management, Chemical Engineering, Engineering Sciences, Social Work and Theatre, ‘This library will noted that the He also libraries have its greatest focus on will have to be even more selective management-related works,” said in book acquisitions.

The Ridge Lea Library will that these cutbacks are just a contain materials for the fields of “sampling” of the problems Geology, Computer Science, constraints. caused by budgetary Statistics and Psychology. In addition to the money Roy hopes that these two problems, the library system is libraries will ‘‘give the students still undergoing various changes. additional study space” on the This past summer both the two campuses, now in demand Lockwood and UGL libraries were because of the shift of libraries to shifted to the Amherst Campus.

The newspaper.s annual problems seem genuinely solvable, its laurels truly deserved. The “newness” of new names, new faces, new issues September brings with it a common but dangerous tendency to expect that change, innovation and refinement will appear magically out of the script, simply because there is a new cast of characters.

Anticipating problems is "3 at least as important, although considerably more taxing to the minds E and wills of the people charged with running this place. The University has reacted to the housing crises in typical fashion q. by doing exactly what it said was impossible, i.e. finding more dorm space and by creating a Task Force to study the dilemma. But the causes of the housing shortage are ridiculously easy to 5 pinpoint: the University increased demand and decreased supply for x dorm space, tightening the off-campus market considerably. University officials deserve all the grief angry parents and outrage politicians can give them, for here is a crisis that almost screamed to be avoided. The University knew as far back as last winter that enrollment would jump this year. Why? Because through miscalculations and unforseeable circumstances enrollment dropped last year.

Departments in, dorm beds out. Simple. The University also knew last spring that more returning students would be requesting housing, since spring very logically is when returning students are asked to request housing. Simple. It would seem then, that the combined intellects of Director of Admissions and Records Richard Dremuk and Director of Housing Cliff Wilson could have somehow predicted the housing shortage and made contigency plans. The solutions: extra dorm rooms, etttra advertising money and extra Task Forces, came only after homeless students, wdrried parents, startled newspapers and irate student governments pressured the bureaucracy this summer to bend a little. The point here is that, in such a simple and basic problem as not enough places to live, students deserve an active instead of reactive administration. Officials like Dremuk and Wilson are paid to plan for not just pan for solutions to the often bewildering problems of a large university.

But, as I bounce through this tumbleweed existence of mine, there will be attempts to peer out into the dust and picture just who is choking out there, and why. I have written in a tone that has, at times, been interpreted very strangely. (A woman in a bar once asked me if I had a lot of self hate. Figure that one out.)

We nearly always receive more letters to the , editor than we can print. Therefore, we must establish criteria for giving some letters preference over others. First, all letters must be signed. We will withold names upon request but only from signed letters. We also check university files to insure names are real. A letter with a name always takes precedence over one without. Secondly, letters should be concise. Those that say the most in the fewest number of words will receive preference. Try to keep comments to under 250 words. Typing is always preferred. Handwritten letters must be readable. Fourth is the most subjective criterion, content. We are reluctant to print letters that, are personal and/or ethnic attacks.

Thank Abortion coverage and moral conscience and thereby satisfy the objections of students who oppose abortion. I must ask, however, whether a During this past summer, the Board of Directors thorough enough investigation was made by Sub of Sub Board I, Inc. voted to include coverage for Board to determine for certain that no company was abortions in the mandatory student health insurance willing to offer two different policies. Even if Sub plan for this academic year. (The effect of this is to Board was under pressure to make a prompt decision add $1 to each student’s insurance bill specifically to on this matter and I do not know if this was the cover abortions.) I am opposed to this decision not case it would not justify neglecting to make such because of opposition to the right of women to have an investigation in view of the fact that the rights of abortions, but because it violates the rights of students are at stake. Moreover, even if no insurance company were willing to make two different policies conscience of UB students. I believe that Sub Board’s action is to be available, this cannot justify Sub Board’s decision to objected to for the following reasons; First, the opt for a plan which includes abortion coverage. decision was made during the summer when most Since when should the practices of insurance students were away and thus did not have a chance companies be the grounds for ignoring the rights of to express an opinion about the matter. It is wholly conscience of UB students? inappropriate that Sub Board should make a decision Lastly, it could not be a defense of this decision on such a potentially controversial matter that has if Sub Board were to say that if students do not like deep moral implications for many students without the health insurance plan they can get their own getting input from them. outside plan and have the insurance fee waived. This Second, the decision forces many UB students is simply not a viable alternative for many students who are personally opposed to funding others’ because they may not be able to afford such plans. abortions to surrender thjeir moral principles. The personal plans that most would probably have According to The Spectrum report, Sub Board to join are generally more expensive than group considered the possibility that its decision would be plans such as Sub Board’s. Further, the student objected to by returning students in the fall, but health insurance program was instituted to benefit chose to disregard it and include abortion coverage any UB student who wishes to take pa,t in it. Why anyway. In effect, what the members of the board should those who are morally opposed to abortion did was to impose their moral views on other but who wish to participate in the plan be forced to students. 1 find it shocking that a choice which has forego doing so and to go and join another plan in such strong moral overtones can be forced on people order to avoid violating their personal convictions? on a university campus where diverse viewpoints are Why should students be put in the position of having supposed to be tolerated and respected. It is a to sacrifice the integrity of their principles in order curious anomaly that while the courts have held that to enjoy a benefit which they have a right to? doctors who oppose abortions on moral grounds do The health insurance fee is, once again, a not have to perform abortions when employed by mandatory fee. Students have no choice but to pay public hospitals, Sub Board does not see fit to it if they do not have outside health insurance. If similarly respect the rights of conscience of UB they are opposed to abortion for moral and religious reasons, they are forced to go against their students regarding the funding of abortions. Third, Sub Board made its decision to include principles. 1 am for freedom of choice and not for abortion coverage in the health insurance plan such an unfair disregard of people’s moral apparently because it did not believe that it could preferences.

While I was reading through some news items on the Middle-East, I suddenly cam across this urgent appeal to the “Christian World” by Menachem Begin. I believe (even though it is good press for Begin) that it should have immediate attention here within the campus community. Not for as much as it is serving any political ends, but rather fixing on-the plight of another minority which is right this very minute is fighting for it’s very life. As quoted: I plead for the Lebanon Christians. I call upon the attention of all Christian nations. The Christian minority in Northern Lebanon faces danger of a massacre. The Syrian army, equipped with the most modern Soviet supplied artillery and tanks, with a range of nearly 44 kilometers, is attacking the Christian minority day in, day out. On the basis of information / received today, they face being wiped out, annihilation, a massacre. I call upon you; help them, for God's sake. What will become of our era? An era of massacre, repeated massacre? First six million Jews were massacred in Europe. Then there was a massacre in Biafra. Nothing was done. Now there is a massacre in Cambodia and Vietnam nobody is doing anything. The first human right is to live, and I can tell you on the basis of the most clear information that the Christian minority in Northern Lebanon faces massacre by the overwhelming forces of the Syrian army of occupation. What does Syria have in common with Lebanon that it should be there with an army of occupation? Let the Syrians leave Lebanon and let Lebanon be an independent state living in peace with all countries. My call is urgent, and to all free nations. Pay heed to what is happening in Lebanon. First of all, France should take note, because for generations France was the patron of the Maronites, and today the Christians are in deadly danger.

The Cultural Revolution defeated these counter-revolutionaries, but Mao and other revolutionary leaders warned that Mao Tsetung was the greatest revolutionary leader of our time. His name stands for rebellion. there would invariably be many more battles like Mao led the Chinese people in kicking out the this in the future. Events showed just how right Mao was. In 1976, foreigners who had carved up China and in overthrowing the landlords who had enslaved the right after Mao died, a powerful gang of Chinese people for centuries. In 1949 China was counter-revolutionaries led by Hua Kuo-feng and turned upside down. As Mao said, “The Chinese Teng Hsiao-ping arrested Mao’s closest comrades, including Mao’s wife, Chiang Ching, and then purged people have stood up.” Defying reactionary �‘experts,” the workers and peasants took the reins and attacked millions who have stood up for the of society and began building Socialist China. revolution. Mao was no hustler who took up revolution in During Mao’s lifetime, he said that setbacks order to get himself a comfortable position on top. were possible, but he also said that defeats would be Mao was a Communist revolutionary whose goal was temporary and that we should never lose sight of the nothing less thatn continuously advancing society bright future for the working class and all oppressed through struggle and eliminating all oppression, all people around the world. But why did he say this? And what does this temporary reversal in China class distinctions and all misery. Today, a group of traitors have grabbed power mean for the millions of people who have looked to from the working class in China. For public Mao Tsetung and the Chinese revolution led by him consumption they claim to be the successors of Mao as a source of inspiration for their own struggle? and the revolution. But who are they fooling? In What does the legacy of Mao Tsetung mean to the reality they are actively attacking everything Mao millions in this country who are looking for some way out of the endless treadmill of oppression and stood for. They are doing the same as those Soviet double-crossers like Khrushchev who betrayed the misery we face under our own ruling class? Learning revolution there and installed themselves as capitalist from Mao’s great contributions is a key part of answering these questions. rulers. the revolution had Attempts to reverse Mao was no idle dreamer. He was as practical as happened before in China. After the initial victory in he was a visionary. The great victories he led the 1949, Mao continued to organize the people to rise Chinese people in winning during his lifetime and the up and strike down any new bigshots who thought lessons he taught revolutionary people everywhere they could turn Socialist China into their own are proof of that.

Ketter University President I would like to extend a warm welcome and to wish you a year of exciting discovery in your various fields of study. As you know, we are the largest center of learning in the State University system; as such, you have more academic programs from which to choose, more flexibility in designing special academic degree tracks, and more available social and extra-curricular activities which are so important to an enjoyable and intellectually stimulating college life. Our faculty is justly noted for its high caliber and; in many cases, international renown. In every academic program you will find truly outstanding scholars and teachers with whom to work. Don’t hesitate to take full advantage of your proximity to them. Even in the case of those faculty teaching very large classes, all your professors will announce office hours which will serve to permit additional opportunities for discussion, consideration of special problems, or extra help. The intellectual interchange between you and your instructor is the very life-blood of the institution and the quality and effectiveness of that relationship will largely characterize your learning experience while you are here and your memories of it long after you have joined the alumni ranks. In addition to the Faculty, you have the benefit * i door I each Service. All workers or of th administrative 11 icer support your intellectual endeavors and t improve the quality of campus life during your stay One important change from last year is that Lockwood Library, the Undergraduate Library, and the Science and Engineering Library have moved to new quarters on the Amherst Campus. I think you will find the new surroundings very comfortable and a pleasure in which to work. You have the added good fortune of an excellent and dedicated staff of professional Librarians who are at your disposal. Again, you shouldn’t hesitate to ask for assistance in “learning the ropes” of the various informal opportunities for some “give and take” sessions will present academic progress, and it’s wise to start off with some good professional guidance in order for the libraries to evolve into the research tool which they must necessarily become as you advance in your studies. In general, the Amherst Campus is becoming a more inviting place than it has been in the past, and you will witness more construction during the coming year. Of course, we will have to live with a split-campus situation for some time to come, but we hope that the shuttle buses will provide as smooth access as possible between the Main Street, —continued on pag* . , . . 18— II HARVEY CORKY PRODUCTIONS WKBW PROUDLY OCT. 6th at 8 IN THE ADD.

Burke is being held without bail pending a Grand 9 pm Jury hearing today. Rogers’ body was discovered by a motorist in a Steuben county parking lot next to his 1974 Datsun. His car was found on a jack*and with a flat tire next to the body. State police have ruled out robbery as a motive. Rogers’ wallet was on his person and investigators say he was a victim of circumstance. Burke was arrested in his trailer home in Corning after a week of inquiry by the Bureau of Criminal Investigation on robbery and second degree murder charges. Two 12-guage shotguns were found in his The nation’s most respected Paralegal school welcomes the Class of ’79 mobile unit. Police say one was used as the murder weapop and the other was stolen from a sports outfit the day before Rogers’ murder. Rogers left his Westchester home at 4:30 a.m., August 12, according to reports. He was allegedly headed for Buffalo to look for an apartment for the fall semester. At approximately 8:30 a.m. Rogers’ car apparently developed a flat tire on Route 17 in southern New York. Rogers pulled off the highway to the Crystal Lanes parking lot.

Academic Affairs President for interim Dean of the Colleges for the coming academic year. Welch, a former Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) Dean and head of Rachel Carson College, was appointed interim Dean after a search committee faded to agree on any viable candidates for the position. A new search team is set to convene this month. Although the original committee did recommend three candidates deanship, the search was reopened after consultation with Vice the for President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn. Dean of the School of Architecture Harold Cohen, who chaired the search committee, said that there were “reservations” about all three candidates. Cohen blamed the fruitless search partly on the late start the committee got in advertising the position, adding that this time, the “search committee will start earlier and use more extensive public relations.” Welch said that he would meet with representatives from each of the Colleges today to formulate some plan of action during the coming months. Because he will remain an Associate Vice President, Welch has asked the committee to make a recommendation as soon as possible so that the new permanent Dean can take over by January, 1979. Former Dean of the Colleges Irving Spitzberg, who left the post because he felt he had done all that he could fo; the Colleges, blamed the unsuccessful search for a new Dean on the difficulty in finding PORTUGUESE! INTENSIVE Beginning Brazilian Portuguese - 8 Credits a years work in a semester. - someone with the “appropriate political and administrative skills needed to run a college and become a regular tenured faculty member.” Spitzberg said that the Colleges Prospectus requires a tenured Dean so that “he or she can speak their mind without fear and also be equal with other faculty members.” In another story with even broader potential impact on the University, the proposed Academic Plan is ‘.till in a holding pattern as Bunn continues to meet with faculty and students and secure their suggestions. A final draft of the plan will be presented to President Ketter in October.

Amherst Town Supervisor Jack Sharpe, the man largely responsible convincing for Marriott Inns Inc. that they should build their new hotel on the Amherst site, had also arranged a joint county-town tax abatement under the state’s incentive program for new and expanding business. Under this plan Marriott would- receive a 50 percent tax exemption the first year; thereafter the exemption would decrease by five per cent a year for ten years. Tax abatement While ‘‘unforeseen development costs” may be legitimate expenses, many Amherst officials feels that Marriott is simply using the costs as an excuse to back out of its promise to build the hotel, which would provide an estimated 350 new jobs to the area. The reason for this may be that although the state, county and town governments have all agreed to the tax abatement plan the site is within the Sweet Home School District which levies its own taxes. The Sweet Home school board has refused to consider any tax abatement plan saying that it cannot afford to lose any revenue. Sharpe has strongly criticized the Boards’ action, stating, “the board cannot think selfishly in this matter. The broader interests of community service must also be served.” Board members have countered by saying that the interests of the students in their district come first. Sharpe retaliated that nobody in the community would lose by the hotel’s construction. “If the hotel is built on the proposed site the value of that property will jump enormously. Even at a tax rate of SO per cent the district will be receiving more in taxes than if that land was left undeveloped. Not only that, but the development would not burden the district with additional children to educate.” At present the situation is a stand off neither party is ready to give in. Construction of the new hotel is still on the drawing board and the developer has continued the hotel’s design stage. -Joel DiMarco ; �New insurance benefits added Students opting for the health insurance program offered by Sub Board I, Inc. will find it much improved this year, with new benefits and additional coverage plus the controversy of an disagreement within the University community. “There was some disagreement in the University Insurance Committee insurance.

Last day to withdraw from courses without an "R" grade or without financial indebtedness is Friday, Sept. 15, 1978. ContributingEditor Renowned novelist John Gardner, recently sought by this University’s English Department to occupy the prestigious James McNulty Chair, has accepted a professorship at the State University of New York at Binghamton late last Spring at about the time that UB withdrew its offer after six months of negotiation. Replacing a Binghamton professor now studying in Canada, Gardner will teach advanced creative writing courses. Stating that the novelist holds no chair or other special position, the chairman of the SUNY Binghamton English Department said, “Gardner could qualify for a Distinguished Professorship, but 1 don’t think he is that kind of person.” Gardner would have maintained a teaching post and an editorship in a proposed literary magazine had he joined the Buffalo faculty. A however, by the Committee for negative recommendation, Appointments, Promotions and Tenure prompted the department to withdraw its offer. Paraphrasing charges Provcit of ARts and Letters George Levine stated in May that a number of factors were considered before their withdrawal was made. Influencing the Committee’s April 19 negative recommendation was literary critic Sumner Ferris’ alleption that passages contained within Gardner’s The Life and Times of Chaucer were paraphrased from other works without credit. The Critic attributed this, however, not to intentional plagiarism, but to “sloppy scholarship.” Nevertheless, Levine stressed that other factors held more bearing on the recommendation. Binghamton’s English Department CHairman stated that he and his 1 associates have read both the charges and the essay in question. can’t discuss in any intelligent way all the ramifications,” he said, adding that if Newsweek, which publicized the charge “malignes an individual it is their business. It is obvious that the whole record must be considered before judgement is made.” Have you been CLOSED OUT of English 101 - 102? Do you need a course in compositon? The following courses in the Faculty of Arts and Letters offer training in English composition, have NO PREREQUISITES, and will be accepted as satisfying the composition requirements of the SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT “ ‘Newsweek’ needs sales Binghamton’s English Department Chairman, terming Gardner a “great fiction writer,” claimed that the novelist discussed the charge openly and therefore believes that the writer “is hiding nothing.” Said the Chairman, “Gardner’s book was reviewed favorably by many critics. There is a lot less to that review than meets the eye. Newsweek has to sell its magazines.” It is uncertain, even had he been accepted by Buffalo, that Gardner would have taken the position here. Buffalo is still seeking a novelist to teach creative writing and occupy one of the endowed chairs. According to Associate Chairman of the English Department Fred See. the standing committee in charge of seeking individuals “is always aware of possibilities, but has, as of August 30, submitted none.” Despite the result of negotiations between Gardner and the English Department here, the novelist looks upon Buffalo favorably; terming it “a really great school.” Maintaining, as he did last spring, jhat the Amherst Campus is “ugly” and perhaps not conducive to writing, he rafered to Binghamton as “no jewel, but comfortable and nice and nqt .Oft, ,| ¥<fely ugly." ■, for the Fall Semester, 1978, as well as the composition recommendations of the SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING: (1.)

Feature Editor Some 90 buildings stand on the UB campuses. In and about those buildings are faculty and administration officials totaling close to 2400. Students with 26,000 different sets of problems must make their way through the bureaucracy. This fall, one hundred and fifty freshmen have an opportunity to wade through some of the stickiness that comes with any large administration. But Freshman Colloquium (DUE 101), the one-credit course offered by the Division of Undergraduate Education to orient freshmen toward academic maturity', has only the 150 openings for a freshman class of 3200. The limited amount of openings to the Colloquium has led to many misconceptions. With twenty freshmen to each opening many of the few that knew of the course thought it had long been closed. “I’d love to take it,” said Michelle from Oswego, “but I thought Ed never have a chance of getting in. I only got one of the courses I had originally signed up for.” “Actually, only one of the sessions was closed and now 1 understand it has reopened,” said Kathy Kubala, from the Office of Academic Advisement. Low response The lack of response to the Colloquium is due to multiple factors. The course is offered by the DUE office which consists of the professional advisement staff. During this summer’s freshmen orientation the advisors were supposed to push the idea. “We were so busy this summer,” said one staff member, “It was almost impossible to cover all the material during each session.” Some staff members were responsible for dozens of students at one time. Bahama Mama Shakin Smith The Fresh John Valby Stone Country John Brady Another factor producing low response is skepticism of the value of the course. “During orientation I toured my first class. 1 knew where it was,” said Mike Conroy. “Day activities [during orientation! gave me a pretty good idea of what to expect.” The course demands one class per week for fifty minutes. Nevertheless, some students still face that ancient problem of fitting an additional class into theit schedule. “1 can’t even find time to eat,” cried Judy Joy. Ms. Joy, who didn’t know the Freshman Colloquium existed, felt that freshman summer orientation was virtually worthless. “It was too short, I wish it was longer,” she said. “It took me two days to fill out my schedule. 1 missed everything else.” When Joy was made aware of the Colloquium she became very interested. “When is it?” she asked. She looked over the time slots that it was offered and that’s when she exclaimed that she was going to starve because of lack of time. —continued on page 18— CREATIVE CRAFT CENTER A Division of Student Affairs 120 Millard Fillmore Academic Core 636-2201 Ellicott Complex, Amherst Campus — FALL 1978 Membership Drive 5 5.00 DISCOUNT First 150 Members METALS ENAMEL WEAVING PHOTOGRAPHY WOODWORKING BATIK MACRAME STAINED GLASS P07TERV • • • • • • Funded b Sub-Board I, Inc. • • f �Nl A E g i\cuer.

Hilda Pinak, a transfer student, seemed very interested. “They’re telling me that I’m taking too many credits,” said Pinak. “Who do 1 go to? Where can I go to find out who to go to?” These remarks show the need for the service offered by the Colloquium “We’re not inviting transfer students into the program, but we’re them out,” said Kubala. “We don’t want to turn away freshmen because a transfer student has closed them out. “Transfer students have been through this process before. We don’t want to bore them .” Pessimistic speculators see the 150 openings as making hardly a dent in the orientation of the 3000 plus freshmen. The Colloquium is an approved course but it is also experimental. If the results are good, the program will be implemented for all freshmen next year, said not kicking Kubata. “1 screwed up yesterday and spent all day on [drop-add] line, and I have to do it all over again,” said freshman Dina Schiffer. “I wish someone would give me a hand.” Someone explained the Freshman Colloquium to her “It sounds good,” she said. “Why don’t you take it?” “1 will.

Robert University Ketter: President Robert Ketter, after receiving resounding votes of no confidence from both SA and the Graduate Student Association, was given a unanimous vote of confidence by the College Council after it investigated the purported widespread disenchantment of the President. The Council’s investigation consisted of more than SO unsolicited letters in support of Ketter. A sample from Education Psychology Professor- Allen H. Kuntz: “Fire bombs, tear gas, threats to my physical safety and actual fires in buildings have been part of my University experience. Those events were unfortunate, but the current attack upon our President is worse.” Censurship: The American University Association of (AAUP) Professors voted unanimously to censure SUNY for firing 100 tenured and non-tenured faculty during a period of retrenchment. UB was not involved in these actions. Sports: Bill Hughes, a former head basketball coach at Fredonia State College was named as the new mentor of the UB Bulls.

The competition for well maintained, resonably priced apartments is stiffer then ever, according to most qualified observers. According to Director of the office Allan Clifford, some parents have been flying in from New York to help their son or daughter find a suitable place in which to live. However, Clifford added that while 200 people come to the office in Squire Hall looking for rooms, only 50 rooms - Jenson MEDICAL REVOLUTION? The E.P.T. at home pregnancy test shown above lacks credibility with medical officials because of its cost and inaccuracy rate. Pregnancy tests are available through a number of clinics in the area. See the story below for full details ... Deemed inaccurate Home pregnancy testfound fallib le by Diana L. Tomb A new at-home pregnancy test, promoted as “a private revolution any woman can easily purchase in her drugstore,” has been deemed inaccurate by pregnancy testing authorities. The E.P.T. (early pregnancy test) kit is available in local $9-11. for drugstores The manufacturer claims the kit is accurate from the ninth day after a woman has period. missed her menstrual The kit tests the urine for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), a hormone produced by pregnant Howefvet, women. Supervisor of UB’s Sexuality Education Center Ellen Foley said, “It takes at least six weeks after conception for gonadotropin to spill into the urine.” This would mean the system is accurate after at least 14 days from the missed period. Varying accuracy say Warnings by the manufacturer test results are only 80% accurate for women who receive negative readings. The literature suggests another test (which would mean another cash outlay of about $10 since one kit is good for one test) a week later to verify the accuracy of negative results. It claims that the accuracy of the second test would be 91%. Betty Moran, a registered nurse and Family Planning Nurse Practitioner who works for the University, was mainly concerned with the cost of the kit. “There are places in the city where you can get urine pregnancy tests for free, and all are confidential,” she said. If a woman finds out that she is pregnant by using the test and then wants an abortion or further obstetrical care, another test will are available a day. automatically be administered by any medical facility that she goes to, Moran explained. Therefore, the cost wasted. of the test would be Counseling lack Moran’s second concern was that the test would replace pregnancy counseling for some women. “Maybe some people like the confidentiality of doing it at home,” she said, “but you need a shoulder. With a clinic, counseling is available along with the test for the woman who wants an abortion.” Foley for the concept of self-testing but worries that the kit may not ■adequately explain the risks of expressed support inaccuracies. “If they want to run the test themselves, my only concern is if they run it too early,” Foley commented. Any woman who comes into the Center after using E.P.T. would be asked to take another test anyway, she said. An article appearing in the April 21, 1978 issue of The Medical Letter concluded while Advertisements . . emphasize the accuracy of the test, physicians may wish to warn their patients that the E.P.T. has serious limitations, particularly a “ . ... high false-negative rate in early pregnancy.” No credibility The literature that comes with the kit does list certain possible causes of inaccurate readings: taking a reading too soon before or too long after the two-hour waiting period; direct sunlight hitting the test during the two hours; or vibrations that might upset it (i.e. if the kit is placed on a refrigerator or other vibrating appliance while the urine is tested). Accurate or not, the E.P.T. has —continued on page 2— In a.minor student triumph last week, the Administration agreed to provide limited funding for the Off-Campus Office Housing operated by Sub Board 1 Inc. The amount of that aid is not expected to exceed $ 1000. According to Sub Board Vice-Chairman Michael Volan, the Administration’s aid will be used in a number of ways. About one-third will pay for classified display ads in the Buffalo Evening News, Courier Express and The Spectrum. The remaining funds, said Volan, will be used to hire additional personnel and for the printing of a leaflet and map. New funds The leaflet will be distributed to residents of the University Heights Community to inform them of the housing shortage and the efforts of the Off-Campus Housing Office. Students new to the area will have an easier time locating rooms with the map of the University Heights area soon to be available in the office, 343 Squire Hall.

The amphitheater is expected to be completed by September. Dr. Beverly J. Paigan, a cancer researcher from Roswell Park Memorial Institute, has advised that over 50 families who live near Niagara Falls’ contaminated Love Canal dump site should be relocated at the state’s expense. Paigan found that in certain areas, the ground is filled with mutagenic chemicals which can cause birth defects and that over 90 percent of the toxins are cancer causing. carcinogenic — The contaminated Love Canal site first reported in The Spectrum June 30 may also lead to the temporary shut down of the 99th Street Elementary School in Niagara Falls. School Superintendent Robert Utter was expected yesterday to recommend to the Board of Education that the school not be reopened in September while work is being done to ease the problem. — — Higher defect rate In addition, State Health Commissioner Robert Whalen, who favors the school closing, advised that children under the age of two be moved out of the area as soon as possible because of the toxic State agents. Environmental Health officials hve also recommended that all pregnant women vacate the area. The rate of recent birth defects in the Love Canal area has been 16 percent as compared to a national average of 2 to 4 percent, Paigan claimed. Many of the toxins have permeated area basements, said Paigan, who suggested that the state buy the 50 affected homes. She estimated this would cost the state approximately $1.5 million.

Rush hour Perhaps long after the hundreds of new students currently without homes for the fall have found some place to live; after we have stopped placing the housing shortage on our front page with regularity; after the student-run Off-Campus Housing Office settles down into something less reminiscent of rush hour in a Manhattan subway station, the administrative officials who knowingly created this fiasco will dimly recall the faces of angry parents who trucked up from New York City with their nervous sons and daughters. Or the stern voices of inquisitve politicians who called to find out how such a titanic blunder might have occurred. The plain truth is that the dormitory space shortage and all the anxieties it has spawned could easily have been avoided with some careful, farsighted planning. For example, the 500 extra freshmen this year about half of whom are from downstate and requested dormitory space could have been pulled exclusively from the Western New York area and would, thus, not require housing. And for some reason, it does not impress us that the University Housing Office consulted with returning dorm students in IRC and SA before determining that returning dorm students should get first priority in dorm space. We would like to applaud the staff of the Off-Campus Housing Office and the officials of the student corporation. Sub Board I, for their mature and responsible handling of a crisis placed rudely in their laps by the administration. And to the University officials .who feel no moral responsibility for the students out scouring unfamiliar neighborhoods for a decent place to live, we might ask: Who are you kidding?

It betrayed liberal principles. The Senator behind the proposal — — to give tax — proposal, the union leader, argued, would destroy the nation’s largest public school system if he had his way. The target of Burke’s ire was Democratic Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan himself a product of New York City’s public schools, who won New York’s last senatorial election with strong union support. Later in the day, another Democart Manhattan congressional candidate Carter Burden joined the dispute, condemning Moynihan’s tuition tax credit proposal as “a retrogressive social policy and constitutionally unsound.” Burden, unlike Moynihan, is the son of a millionaire, and the product of the East Coast’s elite private schools.

TTie Spectrum Friday, 4 August 1978 . ” Tom Stratton The splintering Democrats — For those who would rush head first into nuclear power, there is an important lesson being scrawled on the front pages of the New York Times and recited on the networks' nightly newscasts. Toxic wastes buried in the Love Canal area of Niagara Falls have risen from their not-so-vaulted gravesite to haunt area residents and create national news. What should be noted here is the "problem child" character of the poisons resting .beneath the Canal. Like an incorrigible adolescent, the wastes are no one's fault and more importantly no one's responsibility. While deadly chemicals seep into the homes of innocent residents, Hooker Chemical Co. and the city of Niagara Falls are phoning their attorneys to insure their own absence of guilt. But nuclear power in this country steams right along, without a solution to its infinitely more dangerous waste problem. Hundreds of new plants are under construction or on the boards. But while the problem child, when faced with no way out usually runs away, radioactive wastes remain ticking steadily like liquid time bombs. This "bury now pay later" policy has got to stop, or the Love Canal lesson will be learned over and over again, - Guest Opinion — The problem child would have sufficed nicely. I’m 4’10” tall (in sweat socks). I literally tower of Nadia Comaneci, but I don’t go around saying “The amazing Rumanian gymnasts and the midget Comaneci.” “Midget” is simply not a proper label. It borders on the derogatory. 1 think we’ve all had it with the Randy let’s not beat a dead Shetland Newman thing pony.

A very expensive hand puppet. — - Republican preserves. result is a situation The viewed with growing distress by those who want the Democrats to remain the party of social liberalism. Simply put, in many states, Democrats often no longer need the poor, the racial minorities, the inner cities the traditional New Deal and Great Society electoral coalitions to defeat Republicans. In consequence the Democrats hold more elected offices today than at any time since the Roosevelt landslides of the 1930s. But under their shared liberal ethos. Democrats north of the Mason-Dixon line are increasingly divided over whether government should be an active tool for social equality or concentrate on helping middle-class Democratic voters defend their affluence in a period of rising prices and declining - — , - expectations. In Massachusetts, Democratic Governor Michael Dukakis has geared his administration carefully to the needs of the suburban voters, many of them the children of white ethnics in Boston, who now are affluent and have moved to the suburbs. Nationally, Dukakis presents himself as a spokesman for “progressive” social legislation. But inner city leaders notably Boston’s Mayor Kevin White are disenchanted; and often angry, at what they regard as Dukakis' failure to help those in Massachusetts who really need help. “Dukakis knows his future is with affluent whites,” according to one Boston official. “He doesn’t give a damn about old principles of liberalism.”’ In New York State t officials vie with one another in calling for federal aid for distressed New York City. They point out that federal policies constantly shift money and jobs out of New York into the Sunbelt. But many Democrats including Governor Hugh Carey, up for re-election this year show no similar concern about state policies that favor affluent commuters over unemployed ghetto youths, and help Scarsdale and Long Island at the expense of hard-pressed New York City, Buffalo and Yonkers. The New York State legislature recently passed its own tax relief bill for private education. Governor Carey himself has proposed massive state tax-cuts all at a time when New York City’s fiscal problems remain unsolved, and New York’s poor are still hit by high unemployment. In Connecticut, city officials in the state capital of Hartford hard hit by the urban crisis make no secret of their disenchantment with Democratic Governor Ella Grasso. They assert she has betrayed - — - - - — - the liberal coalition that elected her. “Ella has decided she doesn’t care about the poor, the needy, the people in our society whom the system always works against,” according to one Connecticut liberal. “She has discovered that suburbanites can vote Democratic.” The growing debate over whether city, state and federal tax monies should be used as a tool for helping the poor or conversely as a prop for the threatened living standards of the middle class thus is unfolding in a strange environment traditionally “liberal” Democratic politics. Just as the Panama Canal debate was both a debate over a vitally important foreign policy matter, and also a debate over whether conservatives or mainstream Republicans would control the party of both Lincoln and Richard Nixon, so t-he current debate within the Democratic Party is a dispute over whether the Party of both Franklin Roosevelt and Jimmy Carter will be one essentially of social principle or of broad electoral appeal. Few Democratic congressmen more graphically represent this evolution in Democratic Party politics than Representative Charles A. Vanik of Ohio. In 1975, Vanik had a 95 percent approval rating from the Americans for Democratic Action. The National Association of Manufacturers the same year gave Vanik a zero rating. Jack Anderson has lauded Vanik, a member of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, as one of the House of — Representatives’ best congressmen.“He believes,” according to Anderson, “that the gaping loopholes that only benefit the rich are outrageous.” By every traditional standard, Vanik is a liberal Democrat, Moynihan par excellence. Yet. Vanik like — today is the author of legislation which many liberals consider a betrayal of Democratic principles. Representative James Corman of Los Angeles, for one, criticizes Vanik’s proposal for tax credits for private education as “inequitable, inefficient, complex and probably unconstitutional.” Education officials in many large cities fear it would result in white Americans forever abandoning public education, and leave free public schools in this country with almost no future at all. What has happened, when two “liberal” Democrats can differ so profoundly on such an important issue? Congressman Vanik actually personifies in his own career how the Democratic Party has moved to the suburbs. Beginning in 1954, Congressman Vanik represented an inner city district of Cleveland, Ohio. But by 1968, that district like so many inner cities in America had become tnajority black, afflicted with America’s most troublesome social problems. So Vanik, like so many of his constituents, moved to the suburbs. He defeated a Republican, and now holds what Js widely considered a safe Democratic seat in Congress. Many of the voters who support Vanik in suburban Cleveland are the same - — — ones that once voted for him downtown, before both their representative and his constituents moved beyond the city limits. Have liberal Democrats triumphed irra formerly Republican stronghold? Or has the kind of liberalism Democrats like Moynihan, Grasso, Dukakis, and Carey espouse lost something in the translation from inner city neighborhood to affluent suburban life? As Democrats like Corman and Vanik, both important members of the majority of one of Congress’ most powerful committees, debate issues like tax tuition credits,- they are not only debating American social policy. They are debating the future of the Democratic Party beyond the approaching 1978 elections. - Editor's . note: T.D.

True, there are, in this the second summertime presentation by the UB Department of Theater and the Center for Theater Research, enough examples of unfathomable blind action and its equally unfathomable consequences to support such a label. Indeed, the play’s many direct references to sex and sexuality, and the urgent (albeit humorous) sexual tension that underlies them, contribute to the seemingly impenetrable farcical atmosphere. Vet it is this very urgency pervading all of The which pushes it Merry Wives beyond light comedy and toward serious social commentary. - — • takes to satisfy their desires, it is Mistresses Ford and Page who, as one says to the other, MMmay be merry yet honest, too.” They are, also, the possessors of power and control, making them the only moral figures with the ability to prove it. But the play is a succession of plots, counter-plots and improvisations of plots; ever, one, even Mistress Page, who desires mostly that her daughter Anne should marry a man whom she (the Mistress) approves of, has need to disguise his or her intention. In the end, then, when the real truth is revealed, when literally, are, disguises the removed, everyone learns. And the lessons apply farther than just between the sexes to mother, daughter, friend and foe alike. Mostly unsuccessful The man who learns the most is one Sir John Falstaff, a fat old hedonist who fancies himself the embodiment of every woman’s Merry yet honest fantasy. His pathetic, headlong To begin at the beginning, attempts to land Mistress Ford in there is the title; Shakespeare had bed provide the framework much reason to feature these around and against which the wives here, for they are the others make their plans. Master characters who come closest to Shallow, a country judge, would real moral stability. While the men like nothing better than to have are, by and large, prisoners of his cousin, Abraham Slender, selfish greed, lust, jealousy and marry Anne Page so that he might passion, and will do whatever it gain her dowry of seven hundred ... pounds. But Dr. Caius, an insane French outrageously physician,'has his ideas; and he too has an eye on marrying the mistress’ daughter. Then there is Fenton, Anne Page’s own choice for a mate. Fie is unfortunately not of distinguished birth (even he admits that Master Page’s fortune was the first cause of his attraction to Anne); and though he does fall in love with Anne, her father does not approve of him. During the play s two and one-half hour running time, these ‘‘characters,’’ along with their witting and unwitting assistants, devise one mostly unsuccessful yet always hilarious scheme after another. Through it (or should I say above it) all sit the merry wives, secure in their fidelity and their actions. They are given a relatively small amount of stage time, yet, as with the cunning Mistress Quickly, a servant whose moral stature falls somewhere between that of the man and the wives, their presence has all the Ford’s fury of Master unreasonable jealousy, all the impact of Falstaff’s bloated pride. They roar with a quiet feminism. Appropriate casting As has by now come to be the staging and expected, performances are first-rate. Using —MoMick ON GUARD: UB's Theater department is presenting a series of plays in Delaware Park this summer. Above is a scene from the current play, Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor, billed as a light comedy but perhaps more of a social comment. a small but regular group of actors and actresses, the casting of each remains play convincingly appropriate. Much credit should be given to director John Morgan for keeping an implicitly wild story under control. There is no need to point out, individual performances; all are superb. The Merry Wives of Windsor will be at the park every night except Mondays until August 13. Curtain time is 8 p.m. and admission is free, so bring a blanket, a friend, and get ready for laughter, learning and enjoyment. �York Times.

New Wave rock and roll has found solid ground with the celebration of singles releases continuing. There are now more clubs, more than McVan’s, that are providing outlets for returning true rock and roll back to the area. Bands such at the Jumpers and Aunt Helen have released singles, as well as an area greaser band known as Flashback, a phenomena that will increase in the fall. Of paradoxical importance, area radio took a strange bend. With stations such as WYSL changing order on the AM side while on the FM bands, WGRQ and WBUF seem to follow structured playlists. Radio in Buffalo is meeting in the middle with the listener having just as much success, if not more, listening to the AM band. And like every other city. Buffalo, this summer, survived the onslaught of youthful musicals. With the list of such notables as: American Hot Wax, FM, Saturday Night Fever, Grease, The Buddy viewers have Holly Story, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band been hit with the tragic, the trite and, worst of all, the advent of the Don Kirshner of the Silver Screen with Robert Stigwood’s bastardization of the Beatles and other rock music sensibilities. Phaedrus has attempted to bring out awareness to the artistic significances of this area in relation to our culture. Or for that matter, to the culture directly.

You can alway identify the habitual movie-goer. He is the one whose skin is a little paler than the others, the one who squints in the sunlight, the one who is first at the corner drug store to buy a copy of the latest New Yorker to read Penelope Cilliat’s review. Clinching methaphors and acrid epigrams are easy on his tongue: mention a film and he’s off spinning a verbal web of criticism and analysis. And yet, for me, these are all just of fallout that secret enthrallment, that in-the-dark enrapturement that I feel for 'inderful Dro^-* thr - life glowing brightly on a screen. I keep coming back for the view no matter how bad the film may be, back always for that transmogrification of the soul from chilly theater to that infinitude of worlds lit brilliantly in technicolors, back for an astral projection that makes the wares of mystics, conjurors, shamans and thaumanturgists look decidedly cheap and childish. Film miasma With this in mind (is it ever completely out of it?), let us look over our respective temporal shoulders at the miasma of films that some of us perhaps all of us have seen. Obviously, given the number of summer releases, I cannot do critical justice to each film for there are simply too many of them and too little space here. The most 1 can offer are brief comments, witticisms, and epigrams in an effort to probe the essence (or lack thereof) of these films. These are not meant to be comprehensive critiques.

In this business, the results are subordinate to the process. No, here I only wish to entertain, to amuse, and perhaps to incite in you the spirit of criticism that spirit which makes art appreciation out of a mere entertainment experience. So, let’s give the cinematic summer one last whirl before we sink into books and lectures and pale in the feeble glow of midnight oil. In the Robert Stigwood era of super-hyped, over-produced, money-making mega-musicals, the unprententious and wonderfully acted The Buddy Holly Story is lushly refreshing. Buddy Holly is adroitly played by Gary Busey as the driven musician who, with the Crickets, introduced the concept of the self contained group (drums, a bass and a guitar were all he needed) and helped break the color line of the early days of rock and roll in the late 1950s. All of the music is recorded live, Busey singing and playing the guitar, Dan Stroud on the drums and Charles Martin Smith (the nerd in American Graffiti) handling the bass. This laid-back film chronicles Holly’s musical career, starling in Lubbock, Texas, where his music was disdained the by fundamentalist community, to his rapid rise to stardom, and his - - early death in a plane crash which also took the lives of Richie Valens and the Big Bopper in 1959.

Without doubt, a this straight-forward film far outstrips the gimmick saturated musicals released in the past year. Some Oscars are surely in order next April... on each other: two beleaguered comrades meeting a hostile world marching to a victory of sorts. Some of the blurred thematic devices are unnecessary. We do not need to be cajoled by poor reasoning into sympathizing with Robin and Liza. We like them for who they are; and this is instinctual, not cognitive.

Well, in Outrageous! , it still does.

Female impersonator Rogin (Craig Russel) and his schizophrenetic friend Liza (Hollis McLauren) are a heart-warming pair who, despite somewhat cavalier characterizations, cannot fail to be both affecting and amusing. The soul of their relationship is not the usual frustration of a homosexual man with a straight woman (/ am a Camera comes to mind); it is simply survival in a normal society.

In the early part of the seventies, in spite of the actual volume of records that was released, a large portion of the rock audience began to say that rock was dead. This time coincidentally saw the rise of Los Angeles over New -York, and possibly London, as the main locale for rock and roll success. When the time arrived for American bands to make the choice between the two national media centers, it seemed to most that it was all happening on the Western front. And as far as the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac arc concerned, the rest is history. But history has that particular quirk of repeating itself. In 1972, when California rock and roll was enjoying the apex of Its popularity, a band was formed that from square one belonged to City without New York exception. The New York Dolls were loud, fast, rude, and like true New Yorkers, really didn’t give a damn what you thought of their women’s clothing and make-up. They also didn’t care whether their transvestitism made you think they were the flamingest faggots to come down the Pike since )im Bailey mewled like Carol Channing in “Hello Dolly." They played rock and roll, as straightforward as the Stones and twice as challenging. Influence and power As innovative as the Dolls were, the public’s tolerance level for them was low and they didn’t last too long. But in 1976, New York saw the rise of its influence and power once again; and now in 1978, each erstwhile Doll has records out. You can pick up singles by the Criminals (Sylvain Unabashed That, in fact, is one of the points that makes this record so appealing. Johansen is unabashadly amorous. Definitely nonetheless, masculine, but conciliatory in his stance. “Come on Donna, I can’t live without you," sings Johansen at the close of side one, and in "Frenchette": “You can’t give me the kind of love that I need, so let’s just dance, and I’ll forget.” And in “Girls," co-written with Sylvain Sylvain: “Girls, I like ’em hanging Girls, girls, girls, that’s around all I think about look here comes one!” After all that’s said and done, it is unquestionably Mick Jagger that is responsible for the code of the lead singer behavior so prevailing in roCk and roll. But Johansen, who has been compared with Jagger innumerable times since the release of this record, takes those rules and revises them so successfully that he gives Some GirtS stiff competition. Behind the boards, Johansen and co-producer Richard Robinson smooth out the slinky guitars but leave the vocals charged and raw. The product is absolutely the finest debut solo of 1978.

However, don’t let this impress you. A Different Story isabout romance in its most anemic mode. If the film was about gay people, why didn’t it feature gays who stayed gay and were not “cured” by the middle of the film? For that is what Perry King and Meg Foster play: “cured” gays. And “cure” is the only appropriate word to describe their conversion to heterosexuality. Together they find happiness: he leaving behind a string of exploitative lovers and she leaving a neurotic whimpering fool who threatens to kill herself at several points throughout the film. Granted, the notion that is somehow heterosexuality superior to homosexuality is far from being the film’s focus but this subtle suggestion is blatantly offensive. . Some may not understand this objection. I ask them to draw for themselves this parallel: consider your reaction to a film in which black people struggle to become white and in their whiteness finally discover happiness. Others may feel that I’m being too hard on the motives of the Hollywood monguls. I ask them to consider the liklihood of Hollywood going in the other direction, that is, producing a film in which straight people become gay. � � � � » Capricorn One or How the Government Can’t Be Trusted In Anyting: a pretty good film despite noisy and ludicrously obvious ironies, skepticism a la the Flat Earth Society, and the mere presence of James Brolin. « * * * Jaws II: Take away Steven Spielberg, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, and a subtle, overriding sense of humor and what have you left? a big mechanical shark munching on screaming adolescents.

The total amount of University referral agency four years ago h~ .J The UB Foundation’s imminent leasing of all campus bookstores to Follett College Stores will be delayed due to an illness in the family of Follett representative Robert Iverson. The delay, however, should give student officials the extra time they wanted to investigate the Follett Corporation more thoroughly. Rumors had spread among student representatives close to the situation that Follett was reconsidering its decision to construct a SI million bookstore on Amherst due to rising interest rates and taxes. Chairman of the FSA (Faculty Student Association) Board of Directors Alexandra Cukan claimed that word had reached her that Iverson was re-evaluating its position because of the “hostile attitude’* of students towards the chain. Graduate Student Association (GSA) President Joyce Finn echoed Cukan’s comments, saying, “Things aren’t going as smoothly as they are purported to be. Iverson is upset with our attitude.” UB Foundation President John Carter categorically denied these rumors, claiming that everyone is cooperating. “Follett’s attitude has not changed at all,” he said. “We’re receiving cooperation from both the students and the faculty.” Garter said that the negotiations were further ahead than last Wednesday when Iverson met with students and that the two sides were getting to the “nitty gritty.” “We’re experiencing typical problems,” he said, “none of which were caused by students.” - — Advisory Committee Carter met with students Tuesday and said that a number of agreements were reached. First, it was decided that students could devise a list of points they feel should be included in the lease. Students also called for a bookstore advisory committee consisting of four students, four Faculty Senate members, one representative from the professional staff, one member from the UB Foundation and the Bookstore manager to be established to oversee the store’s operations. Carter_.said the committee will be formed but that its exact composition is yet to be determined. The advisory committee. Carter explained, will meet to assure that the bookstore’s operations will be handled as, efficiently as possible. Carter said that if a major problem were to arise, it would be the responsibility of the committee to “assure that the appropriate steps are taken.” If no improvement is made, the committee can recommend to the UB Foundation that Follett’s lease must be terminated. / r I —Jenson A LITTLE VICTORY: While the waiting list for on-campus housing continues to expand daily, students are turning in increasing numbers to the Off Campus Housing Office in Squire Hall. Above, a student examines the list of available housing on a bulletin board outside the student-run office. The agreed administration has to help fund advertisements in local newspapers that urge landlords to make rooms available. ■ when SUNY Central decreed that fey compiling lists of available apartments the University was implicitly sanctioning landlords listed. Thus, SUNY Buffalo would have to guarantee that listed landlords did not discriminate on any basis in renting apartments, Doty said - - Lease withFollett is slightly delayed r- Busied phones Sub Board I then picked up the responsibility for the office and has run it ever since, offering varying levels of support. At times the office has consisted merely of thumb tacks and bulletin boards in the hallway outside 343 Squire. It has been irregularly staffed in the past two years. But this summer’s housing crunch spawned by increased demand and decreased supply for dorm rooms has left 300 students on a waiting list and busied the phones in the office. — — Black felt that resources mustered by Sub Board, coupled with the administrations help, should be enough to run the office at an acceptable level. “Maybe it’s a sign of good things to come,” Schwartz said. “Maybe other offers will be on forthcoming important matters.” He stressed that Doty appeared very enthusiastic about the funding idea when it was presented. Four new deans to start in fall semester, Bunn says by David Levy Four names that may take prominent places in the future of the University will be revealed when Vice “very Shortly” President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn recommends candidates for several vacant administrative posts to University President Robert L. Kefter. Candidates for the middle level administrative position of Dean will be recommended for the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics The (FNSM), Sciences, of Social the Faculty Division of Continuing Education (DCE), along with a new combined position of Dean of Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) and Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs. The Dean formerly called provost is the chief academic administrative and officer for each faculty or division. Although Bunn would not — — cr name the candidates for any of the positions, he did say that discussions were in the “final stages.” The candidates with the exception of one, will be available this September, Bunn said. However, a so-far fruitless search for a Dean of the Colleges will be reopened in September with an interim Dean to be named for the coming academic year. Reservations The decision to reopen the search for a Dean of the Colleges was arrived at after consultation between Bunn and the search committee he had appointed. Dean of the School of Architecture Harold Cohen, who headed the search, said that his committee did recommend three candidates for the position but there were “reservations” about all of them. He blamed part of the problem on the late start the committee got in advertising for the position, adding, “This time we’ll start earlier and use more extensive public relations.” Vice President Bunn 'Salary structure a handicap' Bunn said that there were no indications that problems such as the split campuses and the failure to complete Amherst hindered UB’s recruiting efforts in a way. Nevertheless, Bunn said he was “convinced that the salary —continued on page 11— �NYPIRG defends Dope legalized for treatment by Sunn Cray “For medicinal purposes only” may soon be used to describe the legal use of pot. Marijuana is rapidly becoming recognized as a therapeutic drug tint can be effective in the treatment of certain diseases. Evidence from the scientific community has shown marijuana to be helpful in combating glaucoma, asthma, multiple sclerosis, the effects of chemotherapy in cancer treatment, epilepsy, and depression. New Mexico became the first state to legalize the medical use of marijuana. In February 1978, the Controlled Substances Therapeutic Research Act (CSTRA) was passed. The bill establishes a state review board to certify patients who wish to use marijuana “to alleviate the nausea and ill effects of cancer chemotherapy and the ill effects of claucoma.” The law also stipulates that other disease groups may be included, “after pertinent medical data has been presented.” Those certified to receive marijuana can obtain contraband pot from the New Mexico State Police. Three other states have followed suit. Florida passed legislation similar to CSTRA on May 30th of this year and Illinois and Louisiana have taken like measures. According to Assistant to the Director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) George Farnham, “We can expect 20 states to pass laws within the next ... year.” ‘Human standpoint' In New York state, legislation allowing therapeutic use of marijuana is in the works. NORML expects a success in passing the bill, a spokesman said. “We are seeking people who need the drug people with glaucoma, people undergoing to testify before the state chemotherapy legislature. We want to show the human standpoint,” he said. The legislature will re-convene in September and extensive lobbying will take place, the spokesman stated. - — non-retumables Marijuana is classified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under Schedule 1 of the ControDed Substances Act, along with heroin and LSD. These Schedule I drugs are defined as “having no currently accepted medical value,” and can be used only for limited research purposes. March, the In FDA recommended reclassification of marijuana’s active ingredient, tetrahydrocannabinol (TTIC). If the proposal is approved, THC will be available for use by researchers and physicians. The recommendation, as it stands, presents some problems. Only synthetic THC is included in the proposal, not the organic form present in marijuana. An estimated five to ten years of research will be necessary before synthetic preparations of THC are available. The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) Tuesday urged the Buffalo Common Council to hold public hearings on beverage container legislation, and charged critics of the legislation with spreading distorted and inaccurate information concerning the measure's impact on litter and jobs. “Discarded beer and pop containers account for nearly two-thirds of all litter by volume,” stated NYPIRG spokesperson Lawrence R. Schillinger, “and yet Bethlehem Steel contends that eliminating throwaway containers will not get to the heart of the litter problem.” The non-profit consumer group stated that a New York Senate study has concluded that a net gain of over 4000 jobs would result from the enactment of statewide beverage container deposit legislation. All points of view NYPIRG also cited the'report’s finding that the use of throwaway containers has contributed to the loss of over nearly 1000 jobs in New York State since the late 1960’s. “Littered beer and pop containers pose a grave health safety risk to Buffalo youngsters in our parks and schoolyards,” added Schillinger. “If these bottles had nickel deposits, children would be encouraged to return them instead of breaking them.” Other benefits of the legislation listed by NYPIRG include energy and raw materials savings, reductions in taxpayer-financed litter Patients revolt The drive for reclassification has been spearheaded by two men with highly subjective interests both are patients whose diseases can be treated with marijuana. Bob Randall, a member of NORML’s Advisory Board, filed suit in federal court in Washington, D.C. to require the government to provide him with marijuana to combat his blindness. Randall has glaucoma. He is functionally blind in one eye and has seriously impaired vision in the other. Convential medications failed to arrest the progress of the disease; however, marijuana has proven successful. Randall won his case in early May and now obtains marijuana, legally, by prescription. The New Mexico CSTRA is a direct result of lobbying action by Lynn Pierson, a 27 year old Army veteran with lung cancer. Pierson’s cancer was diagnosed in 1975 and he was given six months to live. Chemotherapy to treat his disease caused severe physical distress. Pierson discovered the anti=emetic effects of marijuana and the drug to combat the side-effects. He credits marijuana with helping him maintain his physical strength, allowing the cancer treatment to work properly. - clean-up costs, and lowered beverage costs for consumers. NYPIRG encouraged the Common Council to conduct public hearings on the issue so that all points of view can be heard.

Tomb The closing chapter of the 1978-79 Student Association (SA) budget battle has been written. By a 9-0 vote the SA Executive has Committee passed an $895,000 budget for the fiscal year beginning September 1. It is almost impossible to attend UB during the summer and not run into at least one of the 2500 college-students-to-be immersed in Orientation. They’re easy to spot. They’re the ones clutching an Orientation ’78 folder wherever they go. Emblazoned with a bold graphic design, the folder can be seen in the hands of nervous, gaping-mouthed freshmen boarding a bus for the Main Street campus for the first time. It has also been spotted in the mitts of a veritable herd, last seen running non-stop from an academic workshop on the third floor of Squire Hall to registration on , Although there are 12 voting members of the Executive Committee only nine ballots were returned to SA Presideat Richard Mott. Those members who failed to vote were: Director of Student Affairs and Services Barry Rubin, Director of Minority Affairs Turner and SA Robinson, Treasurer Fred Wawrzonek. Wawrzonek has been at odds with the Executive Committee since June over their failure to consider the budget prepared by the SA Finance Committee. The Executive Committee Instead passed an budget alternative prepared by certain members of that legislative body. The following is a summary of the 1978-79 SA budget. Figures from last year’s budget are in the brackets: Estimated revenue $895,000 ($882,543), Special ($41,475), $3,800 Interest Academic Clubs $8,770 ($11,060), Service Organizations $66,330 ($62,778). Over $41,000 will be allocated in the new budget for Minority organizations including PODER, Azteca and BSU. The allocation to Athletics remains at $247,000 but Sub Board I, after receiving $323,000 last year, will only receive $320,000 under the new budget. Carry-over In a related story, Wawrzonek reports that because of faulty student enrollment figures last year a revenue shortage will force - - Jen,on Treasurer Wawrzonek Protesting new budget SA However, because of the revenue shortage the “carry-over” funds do not exist. As a result no stipends will be paid during September and October and most bills will not be paid until money is received from the Bursar’s office. Only the salaries of SA personnel will be paid on time, Wawrzonek said. 1978 board rr\ I7i30NE, INC 1979 Saturation coverage To acco’mplish these goals, the program saturates students with information from the wide-eyed moment of their arrival until the final good-bye’s are heard. They attend a 48-hour series of informational workshops, advisory meetings, tours, registration assistance, and, of course, two evening entertainment activities. Remember those Orientation 78 folders? The freshmen have been instructed to carry them with them at all times. And no' wonder, because the folders alone contain -23 separate pieces of informational literature. One of Krakowiak’s assistants, Roxy Pomeroy, who has participated in the orientation program for the last five years, said Orientation 78 is “the biggest program ever.” It has the largest attendance and “it offers the most in it.” This summer, 10 “conferences” of freshmen will pull into and put of Fargo for their 48-hour sessions. Each conference averages about 250 students, Krakowiak said. A veritable odyssey Shortly after the students arrive, - 01 of Frisbee. According to Director of Orientation Joseph Krakowiak, the program has three goals. It attempts to introduce the new students to 1) the University’s academic nature, 2) its physical facilities, and 3) people who act as resources. games SA to use money allocated to the Athletic Department in order to pay salaries and essential services during September and October. the treasurer has Normally $40,000 “carry-over” money between the end of one budget and the new one. SA does not receive money for its new budget usually until the middle of October when students pay their mandatory student fees along with their tuition bills. SUD the SONY the first floor. On their own turf Fargo Quadrangle, which has been set aside this summer exclusively for the would-be freshmen they seem a little more at ease. Some of them even sound jaded already. One freshman, after listening to a few mintues of a presentation by Student Association (SA) President Richard Mott, exlaimed to his new friends, “Aw, this is boring. Let’s go play Frisbee.” But Orientation 78, an introductory course in being a student at UB, is hardly structured around they are and SA greeted by University officially administrators. Conference Six had the distinction of being welcomed l?y UB President Robert Ketter. After the fOlihal welcome, the first Orientation session is ’ MicroWb, an exercise that allows the freshmen tb get acquainted with a small number of their peers. They’re split into groups of 12 or 13, each loosely headed by one of 18 student aides for the duration of Orientation. Microlab, Pomeroy explained, is designed to combat the impersonal feeling some people get from their first exposure to UB. During Orientation, those students who have been accepted to UB under the Educational Opportunity Program (EOF) attend special sessions related to their program. They undergo skill level testing and see special advisors. Except for these sessions, they experience no separation from the other freshmen, Krakowiak noted. What’s the first reaction to UB for most freshman? “Panic!” according to student aide Oscar Gongora. "It’s an odyssey for them just to find the Fargo cafeteria,” he said. “We try to assure them that everything will eventually become clear to them.” Worth it One freshman described the size of the UB campus as “ominous” while another said that busing between campuses would be “no problem” for her. Several freshmen mentioned how helpful people had seemed. The big push, from the welcoming speech to the health sciences workshop, is “get involved!” The new students are told repeatedly of the value of non-academic participation to their education and their resumes. Some freshmen are doing a little informing themselves. Concerned with the lack of on-campus housing this September, “Some people have stated they won’t come back if they don’t have housing,” Krakowiak said. “We’re trying not to create a panic.” Both students and their parents are being v of the possibility of returning in September to find no on-campus housing available, he said. Perhaps the busiest members of the Orientation 78 ar? the student aides. They put in a working day that often exceeds 12 hours, serving as “chaperones” and dormitory advisors, Gongora said. “The freshmen party a lot. You have to continually check them so they don’t destroy the place.” In spite of the fact that extended rest comes only on weekends for him, Gongora said the compensation he gets is more than worth the long hours. He cited his benefits as being the knowledge he receives about this University, getting to know people, plus his salary of $625 and room and board". informed Office opens The College Council Office will open August 1 for business in 261 Squire.

Page three �editorial Some fresh air The foul air of student housing was freshened slightly this week when Vice President for Finance and Management Ed Doty agreed to provide approximately $1000 for the Off-Campus Housing Office. The money, to be used for advertisements in the local newspapers seeking available rooms, is desperately needed by the near 300 students who may find themselves occupying waiting lists rather than University rooms come September While the problem has been eased, it most probably has not been solved. There is still an excellent chance that, despite the new aid, some students will still be left out in the cold. We hope provisions are being made for these students vtfio may well need a roof. If not, the time to start planning We are grateful that the administration consented to release the funds, yet we are forever mindful that it was responsible for creating the Housing debacle and hence was duty bound to make amends for it. The administration's willingness to give aid when it has erred is a welcome sign and hopefully a harbinger of things to come. Plaudits are also due to Student Association (SA), especially SA Executive Vice President Karl Schwartz, for working with Doty to get the funds. We have long claimed cooperation that between officials student and administrators is beneficial to everyone concerned and yields valuable results. Continued cooperation of this sort will be in the best interests of the entire University community. The Good Ship Budget Ahoy mates, that shakey vessel, the S.S.

You had an excellent article on the FSA land, one that accounted for the facts quite well. Your editorial on Student Housing, however, .contains several errors which should be brought to the attention of your readers. Freshmen do not rank lowest on the priority list for Housing; they rank right.behind the returning students who were in the dormitories the previous year. So your “Fact C” is not factual. “Fact D” points out correctly that we will untriple as rapidly as we can and do not intend to have any "tripled" rooms after the “no-shows” are accounted for. Thus while your “Fact E” would be a fact if “tripling” were perpetuated into the semester, it is not relevant because there will be little if any tripling by the fourth week. Furthermore, the forfeited deposits pay for nothing on this campus, but rather arc deposited directly in the Dormitory Income Fund. The deposit exists to reduce as much as possible the number of rooms that are reserved but not called for and which thus have to be held out of use until we ascertain which students will not be showing up to occupy the housing. “Fact B” is also incorrect tuition money is pledged to the bonds that built the academic and administrative building, not the dormitories This will be the first year since 1971 that we will have a shortage of dormitory housing. It is indeed very unfortunate but it is not a money-making conspiracy. It is directly attributable to the combination of increased demand for dormitory housing, the moves of the academic departments to the Amherst campus which makes the Amherst campus j more popular place to be, and the general movement back onto the campuses of the United States, a movement which seems just as inexplicable as was the earlier one of the 1960’s to off-campus housing. The use of dormitory facilities by academic departments is a result of efforts to optimize, overall, the use of constructed and rented facilities which are and continue to be inadequate for the total needs of this University Center and which unfortunately will continue to be inadequate until such time as significantly more construction is started and completed. This is a very serious situation,/- and unfortunately, it will continue serious for quite a while to come if the demand for on-catnpus hobsing continues at the present level. Edvard W.

Thirty eight former Red Wings are currently playing in the major - leagues. are success, The National Association, less formally known as the minor leagues, as the classroom for baseball’s budding young stars. In the I920’s, the always innovative Branch Rickey developed the system which has been the path for almost every athlete who has reached the majors. Only a handful of players have gone directly to the majors from high school or college. Unlike football and basketball, where colleges supply a steady influx of talent, the grand ole game must rely on the farm teams to prepare their flayers. “If. you’re big and strong, you can play football at almost any level,” notes Bob 'Drew, Assistant General Manager of the Rochester Red Wings. “Baseball is a sport where you have to have many talents. Baseball takes much more development than do football or basketball.” An experience Minor league managers are Free agent war Three years ago a central scouting bureau was formed to the costs of player cut development.

He been also acknowledged the damage done by the free agent system. Four Baltimore stars have been lured away in the last two years by richer contracts. With the combination of expansion and the free agent system pressuring the minors to produce, players have been spending only two to three years with farm clubs before jumping to the majors. The athletes are pleased that this process, which once took five or six years, is less of "a hardship now.

Though it’s disappointing to lose a player that gets called up, they frequently will talk about the hit he got that won the game fpr the big league club. “They only call them up when they need them,” pointed out Drew. “We have mixed emotions. You're glad to see a guy get called up, but you know it’s going to do something to your ball dub.” The personnel of a triple-A team may vary: Although the trend seems to be towards having younger players on the roster, most teams carry a few veterans as well.

It was a curious performance, indeed, which nevertheless pleased the teaming audiences filling the small cafe to hear the master reedsman. Garbed in casual Mid-Eastern wear,, Lateef opened his performance with a very vocal flute incantation, a solo performance that manifested the very, earthy Black Gospel roots of his approach, along with a familiarity of other World Musics. The warbling warmth of .the flute, most bird-like, was very inviting. Next arrived Lateef’s big hit of a few years back, "Gentle Giant.” It was here that Lateef unveiled his present direction. Lateef’s a master of musical idioms, one who combines the wider sounds of drifting melody with a prowling street sound of rhythm and blues. The R&B elements, however, nosedived into cheap disco vamps in present direction. It seemed that Lateef’s rhythm section (pianist Khalid Moss, bassist Steve Neil, percussionist Gregg Bandy) used the less expensive beat trappings as a foot-patting hypnotizer, while Lateef seemed to sneak in his own, more discerning sound. (He still the i // i t commands one of the finest tenor saxophone tones around. One could hear Hawk or Trane and more within.) The nice point is that Lateef actually did more than just sneak by; when he really opened up on a solo, the rhythm section had to open up as well. Those were the high moments of the show. (His solo on "Gentle Giant,” and the use of flute, oboe, and tenor on Morris Albert’s “Feelings" brought expansive smiley audience.

Phaedrus Voice of the Sun .•& When I was thirteen I would head south of the city to a town known as Blasdcll and a club named the Pit where sixteen and over would only get in. And those were minor monumental heydays whep Buffalo bands would distinguish themselves with original directions of Rock 'n Roll. The Standclls would play the Pit. As did Caesar and the Romans and the Tweeds. Kids would balladecr the hit single, "Thing of the Past” in wobbly falsetto and Tweed guitarist Dave Constantino became a bit of a schoolboy genius as the Tweeds would fill the crowded Pit with youth-strained rocking classics. It may have only been the Pit, next to the Cavern, but good Rock 'n Roll is always relative. / started thinking of bands in Buffalo that had' recorded there was as did Raven successfully: the Road had two alburns . a single by /ambo, some radio station some stuff by Weekend compilation. A few musicians escaped and not a band was launched ... .. Rock ’n Roll has been redefined. Or better yet, has been reminded It is lime for Buffalo to be reminded. New Wave ideals have opened avenues for bands to once more It has also spontaneous, driving songs of human prompted bands to take business risks by releasing their ideas via independent labels. Once again, recording excitement has hit this area create with a series of rock 'n roll singles anticipating release. Leading the way arc Hamburg's own heartaches, The jumpers. Although radio airplay of their infectiously strong single, "You’ll Know Better When I’m Gone" b/w "I Wanna Know (What’s Going On)” has been limited (with the possible exception of Gary Storm's "free” radio); The jumpers continue to move the summer crowds with formats of near strictly originals. Which is why it is entirely feasible to expect this band to soon land a competent producer and go on to record from the stockpile of already Jumper favorites. The major radio stations in Buffalo should be playing the Jumpers’ single; a song like "You’ll Know Better When I'm Gone” would be on the lips of youths in summer da/e if only given the chance, easily bounding past the said success of “Thing of the Past” as a regional hit. And with all seriousness, you might want to drop the term regional. Adopting a lower profile, Aunt Helen has also released a single. Distributed as another independent endeavor, "Big Money” b/w “Rebecca” on Rock Starr Records provide a heavy-handed set of rockers. Although Aunt Helen’s material is by no means as infections as the Jumpers' power poppings, "Big Money” could be looked upon as the'first in the series of releases that aids in opening doors. If given a chance, the quality of these releases can only improve. Expected for release in early September is a four song EP by a West-side based New Wave band called The Secrets. Having opened for Patti Smith at this University in the Spring, The Secrets will emplo/ the producer for the Ramoncs which they hope will combine well with such original favorites as "Tommy” and “Puppet Love.” Bernard Kugel, founder of Big Star magazine and instrumental in producing The lumpers, has resurrected Buffalo’s earliest New Wave bands to also record a Single, again expected for the fall. Buffalo is once more being captured on vinyl. It is a raw electric and exciting process. It is also fundamental. No steps may be skipped. Support these bands, you have to understand that this is only a beginning. -Tim Switala America's sweetheart, as well as one of pop music’s top female vocalists, Linda Ronstadt, will be at Memorial Auditorium on August 9 at 8 p.m. Appearing with Little Linda will be James Taylor's equally melodic brother, Livingston Taylor.

The Jumpers have been signed for a large number of dates in and around Bufffalo; so now there's no reason for you not to get out and support your local musicians. Tickets for these shows are never more than a buck or two and there's always enough music to make it profoundly worthwhile. Call the numbers listed below for specifics: Phil Manzanera/801, Listen Now (Polydor), 801 Live (Polydor) Both albums spew forth the brilliant remains of a collision course of polar sides of rock. Laced with British eclecticism from artists such as lOcc's Lol Creme and Kevin Godley as well as the basis of Roxy Music, Phil Manzanera and Eno, Listen Now separates itself, even as the title suggests, as a statement by 801 of the ideals of Manzanera; Phil on second guitar, Willie Weeks on bass, and Andy Newmark on drums. The flow that can be felt on either of the Beck albums as a whole gets lost whenever Buchanan takes a break. A couple of tunes do stand out though, notably “1841 Shuffle,” “Supernova” and the title track. Maybe producer Ray Silva doesn't want us to forget about “the Guitar" or become too boggled in funky rhythm. (At least they’re not looking to disco as a new musical endeavor; there are at least three albums out creating a new fusion of disco and the universe!)

This double album of previously unreleased material shows the hunter Trane, the deadly mature crusader Trane. In short, the sleek streamliner of “Maima” had gained the atom age expression (cultural science, friends) that led to “A Love Supreme” and “Ascension.” Coltrane’s studies with Sun Ra, Monk, and Miles all forecasted the coming tide. In ’65, it washed the shores. The pyromelodic piano of McCoy Tyner, the troubador bass of Jimmy Garrison, and the thundering lyricism of Elvin Jones. All are here, as we are given a full range of what Coltrane had done, and would do. The Bricusse-Newley "Peelin’Good” brings home the vibrantly soft ballad play that many still ignore or fail to see in Coltrane. “Joy” (with taking part in writing each arrangement.

He more by Dave Blank I often wonder what the sixties would have been like without the Beatles. Their profound influence on modern music and lifestyles has generated many fans who still cannot accept the fact that the group is eight years defunct. Still, thicr music is alive today. Producer Robert Stigwood (Saturday Night Fever, Grease) is well aware of this. And this is the philosophy on which his newest film, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Band, Club is based. Unfortunately, the musical pays less homage to The Beatles than it docs to its stars: Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees. The film has a negligible plot. Its setting is the small, imaginary town of Heartland, U.S.A. As the film opens, Heartland's Mayor, Mr. Kita (played by George Burns), tells us the story of the original Lonely Hearts Club Band led by Sgt. Pepper. They played closely resembles a croaking frog ragtime music. Then twenty years in medical garb. Cooper portrays later, after Pepper’s death, the Father Sun. All throughout his Lonely Hearts Club Band was revived this time as a rock band led by Pepper’s nephew, Billy Shear played by Frampton and his 625 8535 three friends, the Hendersons, played by the Bee Gees.

Mustard, it seems, has stolen the original Lonely Hearts instruments, Club Band’s Heartland’s priceless possession, giving them to a bunch of "super meanies.” And for the next hour of the movie, the band and Stawberry Fields, Frampton’s girlfriend, try to rescue them, on their way lo a pleasing ending.

I (ON CAMPUS �New deans structure at this University is a handicap.” the search Chairman of for Dean of FNSM, committee Brownie, said that Alexander received a list of four “top Bunn quality” administrators from his committee. Brownie said that the committee was plesantly surprised to find that many top-flight people were interested in working at UB. All of the candidates for Dean of FNSM recommended to Bunn outside of this are from University. Brownie said that “several people” from UB asked to be considered for the position, but that “The committee as a whole felt that the University would best be served by bringing in somebody from the outside.” A similar conclusion was not reached by the search committee for Dean of DCE. Chairman Howard Foster said that the committee discussed at the outset — . . . the question of bringing in people from outside, versus present UB employees, but agreed that each candidate would be weighed on his or her own merits. Foster added that there was something to be said for “somebody who knows the game” and that the “Committee did’t find that outside applicants were significantly better than people we already had.” Of the four candidates recommended to Bunn three are from this University. Foster said DUE candidates from large, research oriented state schools were almost non-existant. No applications were received from associate or assistant deans at State-run universities. Foster’s explanation: less money is spent on a continuing education program here than at other schools of comparable size. “It is conceivable,” Foster said, “that in people the academic community knew this.” Location sought The Lexington Real Foods Community Co-op is a new location on Elmwood Avenue, 886-8828.

Reiss officials emerged from Student Wednesday a meeting unconvinced that Follett College Store’s take-over of the Faculty (FSA) Student Association’s campus bookstores is in the best interests the University of community. of our constituents,” he Some students, SA representative Ruben Lopez in particular, were concerned with students’ ability to terminate Follett’s lease if dissatisfied with its service. He feared that students in powerless would be demonstrating their unhappiness with Follett. The students convened for two hours with Follett representative Iverson UB Robert and John Foundation President Carter, questioning them on such matters as employment policies, prices and student control of the contracts. Among those present were Student Association (SA) President Richard Mott and Chariman of FSA Board of Directors Alexandra Cukan. Follett plans to construct a SI million building on the tract of Amherst land known as Parcel B. The construction of that store should crack open the long closed doors to Parcel B as other firms are expected to build there as is soon as the bookstore completed. Carter indicated that the UB agreed in Foundation had i principle to lease the bookstore to Follett. No raised prices 1verso attempted to ease fears that Follett’s profit seeking venture would put undue strains on financially burdened students. He explained that Follett would be a responsive part of the University community and that it would be far more efficient than FSA since it has more working capital than the not-for-profit corporation. He promised that prices would either remain the same or be reduced. “We’re not going to come in here and raise prices,” he pledged. Iverson admitted that his company was interested in making he estimated Follett a profit would eventually net between $60,000 and $105,000 per year but claimed that a profit cannot be made unless adequate services are provided. “We must earn the — - Carter assured Lopez that an advisory committee, comprised mostly of students, would be created to help deal with bookstore related problems. It would be that committee’s function, he claimed, to convince the Board of Directors of the UB Foundation to terminate the contract with Follett. This could be done at any time during the company’s twenty year lease. “If it is our opinion that the bookstore must go,*’ Carter said, as bank branch on campus.

Iverson claimed that the new bookstores will offer the same services as the present ones, with some additions.

I’m particularly bothered by the fact that people haven’t been kept informed. 1 only found out about this eight days ago.” FSA passed a motion Tuesday calling for University President Robert Ketter to discuss the proposed agreement in an open forum. The motion also stated that FSA, until convinced that the agreement will benefit the University community, will continue to operate the make any bookstores and seek the the courts if protection of necessary. General Education Committee Mission: gather the facts “it will.” Ninety-nine percent Cukan claimed that Follett’s book prices had been between S.SO and $1.00 above list price at some universities. Iverson admitted that this was true but attributed the increased prices occurring mostly in California to exorbitant transportation costs. “Our prices will be no higher than list,” he assured, “and used books will be sold at 25 percent off.” Among the most pressing concerns expressed was the hiring of students at the bookstores. Some representatives feared that students would be left out in the cold while inside Follett people would receive jobs. Iverson denied this. “First we form a staff,” he explained, “and then come the students. We’re not just going to bring people in and fire everyone else. Ninety-nine percent of our distant Parcel B.

Many of the real estate brokers in Buffalo handle apartment and house rentals, normally collecting a fee of one month’s rent from the landlord. Three agencies Red Giant, Rental information Center, and Galaxy, collect a $35 fee from the prospective renter, before performing any services. There have been numerous complaints to Consumer Action, Newspower, Courier Action, and the New York State Attorney General's Office, Division of Consumer Fraud by unsatisfied customers concerning the tactics of the rental agencies. Complaints that all the referred apartments were already filled, that referrals were in the wrong price range, and that information given was incorrect with respect to the address, number of rooms, or price were made. - -Jtnion Pro miles, promises What do these companies promise? Under New York State law, agencies must include in their contracts the statement, “We do not guarantee that the consumer will find a satisfactory apartment through our services.” Prospective tenants are paying the fees because they find the agencies’ ads, which occupy as much as 25 percent of the Apartments For Rent column in the evening paper, more promising than other ads. Many students, arriving a week or less before the beginning of classes, may see the agencies as a chance to find a desirable apartment quickly; especially this year, as the waiting list for dormitory beds is already 300 names long. Off-Campus Director of Housing Alan Clifford advises students to exhaust the other possibilities before giving their money to a rental agency. He said that although the agencies may lead students to believe good housing can be found within a short period of time, through their services, they do not (and by law, cannot) promise that housing will be foufid within a reasonable length. of time. Instead Clifford CAVEAT EMPTOR: Real estate brokers, who handle apartment and house rentals in the Buffalo area, are coming under increasing fire from unsatisfied customers. Prospective tenants find the rental agencies' ads highly promising but caution is advised. advises students to read the classified ads in local papers and The Spectrum, to ask previous landlords and friends’ landlords if they know of other vacancies, and to check the listings in the Off-Campus Housing office in Room 343 of Squire Hall. against a landlord advertising on his own and listing with one or all of the agencies. Misled Clifford has a personal grudge against one of the agencies located close to this University. He claimed that after telling an agency clerk that he found it necessary to move quickly, he left believing it would be possible to find a house in a matter of weeks. During that time, he said, he was given only one referral for the area in which he was looking. Do agencies list houses and apartments that can not be found through other sources? It seems they do. Since a landlord can list for free, housing unadvertised might elsewhere be found. However, there are no restrictions The Consumer Fraud Bureau also lists five complaints against Red Giant this year, and one against Rental Information Center. The Buffalo Better Business Bureau credits Red Giant and Rental Information Center with “Satisfactory Business Performance,” which means they have satisfactorily resolved all complaints submitted to the Bureau, which says it has “insufficient" information to rate Galaxy, the newest of the ATTENTION MALES a home away from home E THE WELL EDUCATED DRINKERS MEET.

Not only will it spark the development of the dormant Parcel B, but it \jrill place the bookstores in the cradling arms of professional* rather than in the often shaky hands of FSA. We'll have a sparkling new $1 million structure, increased inventory, and promises for comparable prices. The only legitimate concern we have Is that students be given real power to instigate change and demonstrate dissatisfaction with the bookstore. UB Foundation President John Carter claimed that an advisory committee, with strong student representation, would be created and that its job would be to convince the UB Foundation to terminate Follett's lease if necessary. We hope that the committee's suggestions, in whatever form they appear, will be taken seriously. Also, we are confused as to why student officials were not informed about Follett's take over until less than two weeks ago. The UB Foundation is "here to answer questions" Carter said at the Wednesday's productive meeting. Let's keep those crucial lines of communication open, always. Everyone will benefit in the end. It’s a sad reflection on American society in the 1970’s. but nevertheless a true one. that every time the Red Mari'wants a modicum of simple justice, he, like the black man in the 1960’s, has to march on Washington to demand it. Indians not only demand economic justice, but also what to us may seem like such trivial matters, like the return by New York State of the wampum belts belohgmg to the Iroquois people. These are not trivia as far as the Iroquois are concerned. While it is sad to ponder the trail of broken treaties. Reflect upon it. Today the tribes control something like two percent of the land, and even on that small amount, their mineral, water and timber rights are not fully protected by the government in we live, To the Editor white middle-class Americans are pondering such significant questions as which brand of color T V. to buy (so they won’t miss “Charlie’s Angels”) thousands of Indians on reservations are pondering where their nextjneal is to come from, When one considers the rich cultural heritage that the'Indian has bequeathed to this country, not to mention such incidentals as the very land on which Washington. From policies of outright extermination and economic exploitation, to the United States Justice Department, progress is being made, but, no thanks to Congress. In fact, when I want to tell someone the most useless thing they can do, I tell them to write their Congressman.

This school is far behind in housing facilities having not a single apartment for married students, for in general v example. Id addition to the funding, the administration ought to take a hard look at the problem it knowingly created so that future debacles can be avoided. In this case, a waiting list of 300 students for housing could have been easily anticipated. After the fact, stop-gap solutions like shipping in for emergency relief could be abandoned for mature, comprehensive and cooperative planning. And by alt means, acceptances of students who may need a place to live should be halted. As long as acceptance letters are still being sent out by Admissions and Records, the problem will worsen.

Montour has accepted a position as Director of Recreational Sports at Florida International University in Miami. It’s definitely a step up for Montour, who has served as an assistant to Bill Monkarsh here for the last tour years, both in the Intramural Department and on the baseball diamond. The recreation program in Florida will have a different look than the one Montour has been used to in Buffalo. Skiing and bowling, two staples in the Queen City, aren’t big favorites there. “They don’t like to do too many things inside with the sun out all the time," Montour said. Tennis and golf, two of the lifetime sports, are activities Montour plans to emphasize. And to cool off, there’s sailing, boating and deep sea fishing. Sounds great, right? There’s one problem. The recreation program at Florida International is vastly underused. Unlike at UB, where last spring 100 teams entered a softball tournament designed to accommodate sixty, the students at Florida international don’t make use of their recreation facilities. Different student “They’ve got a different type student out there,” Montour said. FIU is an upper division school, admitting only juniors and seniors. “The student is obviously an older student,” Montour added. “Some of them have left junior college and worked for a couple of years. All they want now is the degree.” Another hindrance to a smooth running recreation program is the student housing. FIU has no dormitories and thus none of what Montour calls a “rah rah” attitude among students. “As far as activities go, you’ve got to go out and sell them,” said Montour. Montour will be pushing for a new wave pool at FlU’s new campus to simulate the ocean, which is 25 miles away. The six year old school has a two campus set up like UB, but its campuses are much farther When Bill Hughes, formerly of Fredonia. was hired as Buffalo's new basketball coach in May, knowledgable UB fans were worried. Hughes, they said, was the area’s leading proponent of “Stall ball” or slow down basketball. Not so, said Hughes. "My preference is for a fast, hard, intense game, but you’ve got to have players that are fast enough to run,” he explained. Since Hughes has never seen the Bulls play, he hasn’t been able to make a decision about next year's strategy. “A team must play the style of ball that will give it the best chance to succeed; anything else is foolish," he said. Of course, Hughes hopes'to use an exciting running gdme, partly because it’s more appealing to spectators. “Student support is an area of great concern to me,” he commented. “1 would love to see Clark Hall filled with enthusiastic fans. That would really be a boom apart. to the program.” He’d also like to kindle some community interest in the program which would add some money to FlU's athletic department. The program, like UB’s is funded by mandatory student fees. Special gimmicks But getting students to a UB game seems about as easy as getting a new gym built. How does Hughes plan to attract new fans? “We’re going to do everything we can to make a UB game an enjoyable evening,” said Hughes.

He pointed out that the team will be without tiie services of graduated star Sam Pellom. "And even with Pellom in the line-up, they won No matter — only games," six commented home court," he contended. “We ought to know every inch of that dark floor," while visiting teams will be, literally, in the dark. “I’ve got no qualms about playing in Clark,” Hughes said. He admitted, however, that some schools won’t play in Clark Hall. Not worried Hughes will be handicapped this year by his late start and lack of recruiting time. The coach isn’t doing any hard recruiting, he said, just talking to some players. “You can make mistakes by rushing out and grabbing any player,” he explained. Although Hughes is unsure about the Bulls next year, he has no doubts about his own ability. “I think I ’ll be able to do a good job,” he stated. Hughes’ record bears him out Fredonia compiled a winning record in five — of his last six years as coach. Hughes also said that he’s not worried about job security, even though his predecessor Leo Richardson, was fired. “I don’t think UB will want to fire me,” he explained. Hughes. Unlike everyone else on this campus, the new mentor professes to see a silver lining in the dark cloud of Clark Hall.

A partial plan might be to recommend either a pilot possible in September 1980 but program for a selected group of the committee must first decide “test" students, or a fully for all developed program incoming freshmen. The Committee includes 14 two faculty, undergraduate students, one graduate student, two administrators and one staff member. Both undergraduate students are representatives from the Student Association (SA) Executive Vice President Karl Schwartz said his own personal philosophy dictates that every student should complete a general education program. With the hundreds of courses, allowed under the present distribution system, Schwartz felt, “a student would be hard-pressed to create a logical, coherent program of study outside his major.” He emphasized the benefit to the student of the sequential order of a general education program. The other student representative. Sub Board Chairman Jane Baum,said UB will definitly not return to the formal education requirements of the 1960s with its general education program. She cited a “probable re-structufing of some courses” and “a strong sentiment for new interdisciplinary courses.” Scwartz noted that new courses bring with them the problem of attracting professors to teach j, the new offerings- He said the Committee had discussed inventing an incentive system to attract quality professors for these courses that have been considered “gut” courses in the past. Baker said, “Courses for the can be very non-major challenging.” A basic (100-level) science course as it is taught now, he observed, is aimed primarily at the beginning majors in the field. “To expect one course to fulfill the needs of all the students who are required to take the course is absurd. If all general education students were also forced to take it, it would be even more absurd.” He stressed the courses which might be necessary under a general education program would be aimed at the broad knowledge of academic fields rather than at specific “hard knowledge” within those fields. $3.00 (AT LEAST) IS YOURS for one hour of participation in a PSYCHOLOGY EXPERIMENT ■ at the Amherst & Main St. Campuses Call the Psychology Department (9 am - 5 pm, Monday - Friday) 831-1386 Men and women welcome!

Phaedrus even convinced this newspaper to pick up the tab tor the trip to Massachusetts and eastern New York, traveling with a Buffalo Evening News stringer. It would have been great. Insightful portraits of prima ballerinas, incisive criticisms of George Gershwin musicals, mellifluous yarns relating the experiences of wide-eyed apprentices at these theaters who stand but a minute chance of getting a break. except this pseudo-budding Realty would have been great Norman Mailer lazily lost contact with the News stringer, and a car, somewhere in between Jacobs Pillow and Wellesley, Massachusetts. Stranded. So, no theater column. Instead, space is filled with what Phaedrus told me he saw (he can no longer write) instead of Balanchine's exquisite New York City Ballet at the Saratoga Springs outdoor theater. First, Phaedrus stuck out his thumb and hitched around Massachusetts looking for a town, with a theater in it, called Salem. There was no theater in this town. Only Dunkin’ Donuts. Wrong state: Salem, New York had the theater. No sipi of donuts. Later, white hitching, night descended and the piercing headlights from the lumber trucks swished closer and closer to Phaedrus. So he left and found an all-night cop who mused about time and patience. At four-thirty in the morning, Phaedrus scampered back down the to Route 218. Dangling in the distance, a silhouette of a fellow hill traveler tried to wave down a ride. His name was Mike. And he, like Phaedrus, wanted to be a writer and was on the move somewhere hoping to meet a fruitful connection. “Smoke?” ... a# 1 — - “Really.” So Phaedrus sucked breath from this joint and blew the smoke away and watched it skid across the top of the overgrown ochre grasses populating this private little knoll next to the highway. The sun was dripping orange and rising. The day baked. Hours separated the rides. a construction worker picked up Phaedrus, and for In hours articulated a philosophy of existentialism and knowledge while downing an entire six-pack of Pabst beer. The bear-like man with shimmering blonde hair told Phaedrus when he left, "Hey kid, I ramble a lot, take it easy and find yourself some satisfaction. ” “Really.” By now, thirty-six hours had passed since Phaedrus had slept. And unerased ideas, accummulated on the trip, cluttered his mind. Phaedrus' thumb, which pointed toward what he had been regarding as home, began to embody a shrieking significance. For what Phaedrus had reprded as home had sorely dwindled to a skimpy, shredding thread into the heart of an Oriental woman. All to be mere delineations of some kind of duty, some kimKof artificial purpose, some kind of vacuous pleasure. 'y And Phaedrus, who so confidently pontificated about carMq in his first column, grew sick: he could not care less about home. He cbuld not stay in Buffalo. Phaedrus no longer could even write. His mind was so insanely confused with what he saw as the absurd arrangements of unproyable assumptions embodied in all-too-narrow bounds of letters and words. I saw him yesterday. He kept on hitching towards northern British Columbia. He told me that he wants to press his cheek to the winds of Manitoba on the way. This guy, as far as I am concerned, is pretty crazy. He told me to say goodbye. -Bob Basil [Wings s Ribs | I Expires July 28. *78 An 3406 Bailey Avenue Buffalo 836-9336 Page eight.

But the long awaited christening of the development will almost certainly sound the death knell for Faculty Student Asso ciation's bookstore operations. The entire Parcel B development hinges on the construction of a 20,000 square foot bookstore to be operated by the nation-wide firm of Follett College Stores Inc. John Carter, head of the UB Foundation said that negotiations between the developers of Parcel B foundation and Pollett’s are nearing completion. He expects a signed contract by the first week in August. The contract would include provisions for Follet’s assuming control of all bookstore operations on campus by November. Inventory in the FSA-run stores would be bought by the company, which runs similar stores at 40 campuses across the country. Carter said verbal assurances that FSA bookstore employees will be hired by Follett’s will be written into the contract. - n — Negotiations The bookstore will be the centerpiece of the Parcel B development. One full service and one fast food restaurant will probably be under construction by the late fall if the Follett’s deal is completed soon, Carter said. Mentioned as strong possibilities are Ground Round restaurants and McDonalds fast food. He is also negotiating with area banks about a possible branch office and promised to look into obtaining a postal sub-station. The foundation will ultimately spend $500,000 of its money for access roads, aprking lots and walkways. The bookstore will cost Follett’s approximately $800,000 for construction. Carter speculated. Although Follett’s will assume control of bookstore operations this fall, construction of the new facility will not be completed in time for the Spring 1979 semester. The UB Foundation is working for contractual assurances that enough construction will be done this autumn so that work can proceed through the winter. Carter stated. Shock, concern The final-stage plans for the take-over of FSA’s bookstore operation caught student leaders of the corporation by surprise. Alex Cukan, Chairman of the FSA Board of Directors, said she learned of the plans only a week ago. Student Association president Rochard Mott expressed concern over the sudden emergence of the proposed contract and requested that its signing be delayed until students had a chance to investigate the Follctt firm. Mott speculated that “unless we can find very specific reasons why this company shouldn’t get it” the contract Will probably be approved. Cukan agreed that “the contract should be fully investigated” and expressed mild shock upon learning the news of the bookstore’s imminent takeover. Apparently, University President Robert L. Ketter has authority to order the takeover without going through the FSA Board. Mott said that Ketter can legally terminate FSA or any part of it. w —continued on page 11— w ' mm —JenSon COMING SOON: to a campus near you, the long awaited commercial development on the Amherst land known as Parcel B, here shown with tractors rumbling across its barren surface.

Increased student demand for fewer dormitory rooms has sent housing officials scurrying for all available space and put 300 incoming freshmen and transfers on a waiting list that is likely to swell by September.

Reiss It’s 505 acres. It’s weedfilled, undeveloped and barren save for an antiquated barn. ItVworth only a fraction of its 1964 purchase price, has a tempestuous past, a nebulous future, is unwanted and it’s ours. It is a huge tract of land located Kbout three miles north of the Amherst Campus alongside Tonawanda Creek which was purchased by an optimistic Faculty Student Association (FSA) 14 years ago. FSA bought the land for approximately $775,000 with one eye on rising land prices in Amherst and another on developing the land for either recreational or educational purposes. But plans for use of the land proved no firmer thaii its marshes and today. .$250,000 tax dollars later, FSA is sitting impatiently on an expanding parasite with only sketchy designs for its future. It wasn't always that waV. FSA’s purchase of the land in 1964 was viewed as a prudent investment, considering the soaring price of land in the suddenly popular Buffalo suburb. However, FSA left the land untouched, and by January of here expressed their 1966, students dissatisfaction with the corporation’s handling of the property. A land Use Committee was consequently established to help formulate some future for the undeveloped acreage. approximately $95,000 in taxes. Then in 1973, FSA received an offer for the land which was to send the Amherst Town Council into an uproar. The State Urban Development Corporation (UDC) offered FSA $3300 per acre, or $1.7 million for the land opening the doors for FSA to reap a huge profit. According to the Town of Amherst’s Assessors office, FSA originally purchased the land for only $272,770. making the UDC offer that much more enticing. FSA’s eagerness to sell the land resulted in a political melee between the corporation, UDC and (he Town of Amherst. The Amherst Town Board, guided by supervisor Allen Dekdebrun, opposed the sale because it fell it would allow too much of Amherst’s land to fall under the stretching wings of UDC. That corporation already controlled over 2500 acres of the Town's land and Amherst officials feared that this purchase would seriously undermine the Town’s tax base. Dekdebrun assailed UDC for trying to buy up too cryptic manner. ‘‘I personally feel the UDC has not acted in good faith," Dekdebrun said The matter came to an end sooner than expected when, after the Amherst Town Board successfully delayed UDC's purchase of the land, the State corporation folded, leaving the depreciating territory in the hands of the reluctant FSA. Widespread dissatisfaction The Committee’s report, released in June 1968, is a monument to F,SA’s.failure to utilize the land, for many of the report’s suggestions are still being pondered. The Committee headed by Robert Henderson, and comprised of students, faculty members and other University personnel suggested the land be used for the following; a recreation area to include picnic grounds, extensive football and softball fields and a children’s playground; the construction of a one story budding which would provide take-out food service, first aid service, bathrooms and pay telephones; the development of a boat launching facility on the canal portions of Tonawanda Creek; the development of a nine hold golf course FSA had originally planned to build a 18 hole championship course as a revenue feature; and the'development of a nature park for “the individuals quiet and contemplative use of a — - generally wooded area.” The Committee’s report was met with dissatisfaction, both from Sub Board I, which commissioned the report and by the Graduate Student Association which called the proposed building of a golf course “morally irresponsible.” The University Administration too was less than enchanted with the proposals and UB President Martin Meyerson suggested a possible swap of the land for that owned by the Amherst Audobon Golf Course. The UDC offer The Committee’s report was quietly laid to rest and for the next five years FSA stood pat, making few improvements on the land while coughing up There it has remained ever since. Growing concern for the spiraling cost of the land FSA currently pays $22,500 per year in taxes had induced the organization to once again investigate possibilities for its use. One of FSA’s critical concerns is that the land be used for educational purposes in order to liberate it from its tax obligation. -- A survey Two students at the School of Architecture and Environmental Design, Kate Carroll and Andy Attison, are working in conjunction with FSA to come up with some solution for the land nightmare. One answer, Attison said, would be to sell the land in parcels to outside individual developers in an attempt to recoup some of the corporation’s losses. Or, he said, the land could be enhanced to create larger marshes and then be used for educational purposes. Carroll explained that FSA is hesitant to make improvements on the land because it is considering Selling. Attison and Carroll are circulating a survey which is aimed at discovering what various members of the University community feel should be done with the acreage. Among the suggestions on the survey are an arts colony, solarlwind energy research, crosscountry skiing, a kibbutz, a work farm and various recreational facilities. Chairman) of the FSA Board of Directors Alexandra those interested in finding some use for Cukan is the land. What should be done? “Do something,” she said. back and pay taxes. It’s an asset for the “Don’t just corporation but a liability to students.” sit —Jenson IT'S OURS: While suggestions about its use are bantered about, 505 acres of land bought by FSA in 1964 still lie undeveloped. Possible uses include an arts colony, canter for energy research and a kibbutz. Meanwhile, taxes on the land cost $22,500. Cukan favors selling the land if PSA can realize a profit but she claimed that at present the land could only be sold for $1500 per acre, or $750,000. That would represent a loss of over a quarter of a million dollars, according to FSA’s figures. So until some decision is made, the land which costs FSA $22,500 per year just rests on the shores of Tonawanda Creek. And waits.

Fact A The University has been steadily moving academic departments into the Elticott Complex while carting dorm beds out. 160 more beds were moth-balled this year, bringing the total to about 450. When space gets tight. It is all too easy to see where priorities rest. — Fact B Those dorm rooms were built with bonds backed by students' tuition money. They were built for students, designed for students and for the most part have been occupied by students. Fact C Miscalculation by the Office of Admissions and Records (A&R) resulted in a drop in enrollment last year which raised more than a few eyebrows in Capen Hall. To compensate, 500 additional freshmen were accepted this year, at least 200 of whom will need housing. The two-year net gain in enrollment is of course zero, but there are more freshmen this year. Freshmen rank lowest on the priority list for housing. They also rank highest in ignorance about off-campus housing, highest in first week anxiety, highest in bewilderment at a huge, impersonal university, and so on. Fact D The Housing Office hat already accepted 160 more students than it hat beds for, figuring that "no-shows" would ease any over-crowding. Thus, extra bads that do become available will go not to those on the waiting list, but to the 160 students who have already been "tripled" in a room built for two students. Fact E At distasteful as "tripling" mutt be for Housing officials, the University reaps financial gain from the practice. No-shows will forfeit over $10,000 in deposits and the extra income thatresults from three students paying for a room that ordinarily sleeps two goes right to the University. Clever. So, it it not hard to tee that the University created the waiting list by decreasing supply (Fact A) and increasing demand (Fact C). The list it not likely to shrink (Fact D|, students are forced out of space meant for them (Fact B) and the University makes money on the deal (Fact E). Case closed. Will the defendant please rite? But your Honor, what about these innocent students who have no place to live? Well, the University accepted them with the provision that housing could not be guaranteed. But they decided to come chose to be put on the waiting list anyway probably figuring tomebody at UB would find them a place to rest their spinning heads. A very logical but dangerous conclusion. Is that somebody the University Administration? The people who caused all the shortages? The people who had to accept all these extra freshmen after blowing it the year before? The people who annually choose to give new students no preference in housing? The people who are expected and are paid to deal with problems like this? Those — - - — - - - - - — - - people? No. Not exactly. Desperate students who phone the University are being referred to the Off-Campus Housing Office run by students with student money. $6700 to be exact and that includes helping all returning students who want a place to live in the neighborhood. The Off-Campus Housing Office is under staffed, under funded and under-equipped to handle the load. Incredibly, the University feels no obligation whatsoever to help fund or help staff the office. This week. President Ketter's office called to ask w hat room number to send these homeless students to. 343 Squire, Bob. To even dream that the University could get away with decreasing supply and increasing demand in dorms that were over-crowded last September, at a time when dorm living is becoming more popular across the nation, is almost incomprehensible. But that is the thinking. There should be an all-out effort by the administation to find every one of these students a place to live. We shudder to think of life as a UB freshmen living in dormitories at Buffalo State or Canisius College. Or in a student ghetto rat-trap with a leaking sink. One thing is certain. When students are seen sleeping in Haas Lounge this September, we’ll not forget who put them there. - The Spectrum Vol. 29.

Since the Supreme Court ruling, the new ice-breaker in intellectual circles has become: "Where do you stand on Bakke?" While image-conscious partiers pensively swirl their scotch and declare: "Well, that's a difficult issue," legal scholars, social critics, editorial writers and virtually everyone in academia have been taking firm stands on the landmark status of the decision, without approaching agreement on what the verdict might actually mean for that sudden celebrity of buzz words Affirmative Action. The issue is so strewn with unavoidable clashes in ideals, so complicated by justifiable human resentment, and so utterly perplexing to rational minds that the literary brilliance of a particular interpretation often becomes more convincing than its actual substance. There are no answers to the questions posed by Bakke, only competing choices, to be either snubbed or embraced. No judge, no court, no law will convince a white student who will not be a doctor that for society's sake he should not be a doctor; nor the black student that for society's cruelty he cannot be a doctor. Here is where understanding, and implementing, the Bakke decision has its genesis. In recognizing that unfair and by some interpretations, judgements will be forced upon un-American individuals of the majority by Affirmative Action, it mutt be realized that those victimized individuals will never fully accept such judgements;can never be compensated for lost lost opportunities; and can never be fully faulted for their protest, however misdirected it might become. It should also be realized that, while cruel abberations of the American dream are responsible for the plight of minorities, cornerstones of the same dream, indeed of the nation, have spawned the fierce resistance to easing that plight by Affirmative Action. To restate this, it is no less American to believe that superior performance will bring just reward than it is to provide inferior schools to inner city children. It is no less American to believe in the very simple principles of competition, than it is to skew and tilt that competition toward the white race. Finally, it has become no less American to protest arbitrary pollutions of such a system than it has implement token and meaningless methods of \ insuring fairness in educational opportunities. Just as America is forced to accept the\ persistance of some racial injustices as an inevitable product of her competition-based society without assigning "right" and "wrong" labels, she must accept the objections when that base is altered and the rules are changed in the middle of Allan Bakke's game, for example. Sympathizers of Allan Bakke should not be so quickly labelled opponents of Affirmative Action and outright supporters need not be immediately cast at racists. Resentments against what are perceived as "unfair" advantages do not vary so much with the race of the favored group as with the relative unfairness of the advantage and the magnitude of the : — . We can hardly recall a clearer case of insensitivity by the University officials than their handling of the waiting list for dorm rboms, now numbering 300. Here is a problem, totally created by the administration, that has shortchanged students at every turn and that victimizes the most vulnerable members of the campus community freshmen and - - - - - - become\to goods at stake, for purposes here, a life as a doctor. Such considerations are important because the nation, buttressed by the Supreme Court's upholding of the concept, seems genuinely prepared to proceed with Affirmative Action at every level. Which is why there is reason to cheer the Supreme Court decision. The justice's official coronation of Affirmative Action should lead to an out pouring of well in higher intentioned programs education, government and business. A large scale program of balancing racial inequities at the professional and career level is not only long overdue, but increasingly crucial since gains in elementary and secondary education may well be frustrated without such a push! as passionate dissenter It may very well be Marshall claimed that the Bakke decision will bring civil rights full circle from Abraham Lincoln to Brown vs Topeka Board of Education to the "Great Society" and ending with the current struggle to define the limits of Affirmative Action. If the Bakke case does prove that much of a landmark, it will not be as an immediate aftershock of the court's verdict, but rather as a long, error-filled court riddled process that is sure to be foutfit at every step by both sides. Did the court then shirk its responsibility in preventing such a battle? We feel not. Drawing the line on Affirmative Action (and Bakke has proved that such a line must be drawn) will be such a test to the moral fiber of the nation, will extend so far into the country's future and may leave so many scars on increasingly blameless groups, that the Court was quite proper in turning the task over to America. Anything else would have seemed hopelessly arbitrary, despite the multitude of legal advice the court was showered with. Defining the limits of Affirmative Action may begin to determine how dose Blacks, Native Americans and other minorities will come in achieving equality in a competitive society. We would hesitate to place that decision in the hands of any nine men anywhere. What remains in the debate is by what methods will that line be drawn? How will the nation balance the rights of the majority with the desperate need to provide advantages to the minority? And where does the Bakke decision with its striking down at quotas help and hurt in coming to such conclusions? The massive inequities and the sterling principles of American society present the inescapable difficulties in resolving the Bakke question. The persistence of those inequities and the moral attractiveness of those principles will have to be balanced, somehow. This American problem must have, will have, an American solution. It will not be easy. — Thurgood - - - N*xt: How do we best drew the line? �On campaign trail Sheffer assails both Carey and Fremming by Charlie Haviland The unknown fate of the UB Dental School was seriously questioned by Williamsville Mayor John Sheffer, Republican candidate for the 141st District Assembly seal when he brought his campaign to this campus Wednesday. —Maiiick WHAT AN EYEFUL!: A panorama of colors and comfortable study space await all those who visit the new Undergraduate Library, located on the first floor of Capen Hall.

Another addition to the UGL is a larger library classroom for instructing students in the use of the library.

But finding a tutor takes time. *That*s one of the reasons why I want to out the straighten staffing problem," Diromick said. Dimmick would also like to find an assistant coach to help Cousins with the softball team. The team can’t practice now until after the basketball season is over. Cut themselves One problem in the growth of the program has been the reluctance of several players, notably on the basketball team, to accept what Dimmick terms “a very new philosophy” in women’s sports. ‘They’re asked to put in a lot of time and effort,” Dimmick said. “It’s no longer the play day with tea and cookies afterward.” Rumors abound that those disenchanted players will not retdrn next season, but Dimmick isn’t worried at all. “Most of those players cut themselves,” she said, adding that athletes who give less than 100 percent aren’t good for the program. The women’s teams will be entering Division III next year, following a decision by the parent Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) to go to a divisional set up. The UB men’s teams, which are governed the National Collegiate by Athletic Association (NCAA), moved from Division I to Division III a year ago, finding that they Could no longer keep up with Division I schools, which are permitted to SUNY offer scholarships. forbade athletic scholarships in 1969. The Royals The men’s move led to a national championship for UB in wrestling, the first national title ever for a UB team. UB’s top women’s team is bowling, which finished third in the nation last year. The divisional set up will not affect the keglers, though. They’ll be playing the same foes as last year due to a scarcity of women’s bowling teams statewide. Dimmick is the hoping realignment will insure good for the women. “We try to play at our competitive level with maybe three or four games at a higher caliber to stretch ourselves,” Dimmick said. Last year the women’s teams had a combined record of 60 wins, 57 losses, one tie, three seconds and a third. The women’s teams took another step away from their infancy last year when they discarded the masculine “Bulls” nickname and picked their own name, the Royals. Dimmick would like to see the program grow further but she’s not in a hurry. “We’fl do it slowly,” she said. “It’s a matter of continuing to evaluate the program and continuing to evaluate the need.” competition PRE-MEOS A PRE-DENTS (9 am it | j limit I HI - 5 pm, Monday - Friday) 831-1386 Men and women welcome!

Friday, 14 July 1978 �Once again: it’s Stratford Director Phillips promises a punishing pace primed with theatrical innovation Stratford, North America’s premier Shakespeare festival, opened its silver anniversary season with a spectacular Gala Shakespeare Revel. Featured were the Canadian Opera Company and the National Ballet of Canada, performing works inspired by William Shakespeare. A record 14 major productions are planned this year, eight of which were launched in the first week. A new Third Stage, featuring many diverse and experimental plays has been opened to complement the old Avon and Festival theater stages. Among the opening week’s productions wer The Merry Wives rof Windsor, MacBeth, The Hunter's Tale and As You Like It The Festival, which usually runs from late June through mid September, was conceived by a native of the town, Thomas Patterson. Patterson formed a local committee which then invited popular producer Tyrone Guthrie to direct the first theater productions. In 1955, Guthrie handed over the directorship of the theater to Michael Langham, who guided the festival for 13 years and who initiated a policy of maintaining a permanent Canadian company with visiting stars. I In 1953 an annual Festival was inaugurated with productions of Richard the Third and All's Well That Ends Well. The latter featured some brilliant performances by a master craftsman, Alec Guiness one of many fine stars of the British stage Who have appeared as guest performers at Stratford. Four years after the inauguration, a permanent structure the Avon Theater was build, although the original stage was retained. There are no obstructing pillars in the auditorium, which sweeps in a full semi-circle around the stage. Festival. Phillips said, "In many \yays this gala is a slight preview of things to come."

See the accompanying story for Complete information. �Phaedrus Voice of the Sun The aftermath of what might have been called “The Orchard Park And Live" RockWorld One is Pilgrims Meet the Rolling Stones not exactly well defined. Through all the prescribed paranoia and inflated hysteria, through all the preventive medicine and legal hassling, through all the “Rolling Stoned Paraphanalia” and the carnival atmospheres Mick jagger survives a DUMB interview with Eyewitness News man Don Postles, Harvey and Corky spell relief: D-O-L-L-A-R-S and all roads leading to Orchard Park still stand. Buffalo tiptoes lightly on the brink of being a major American metropolis. The Rolling Stones arc a rock V roll band. Altamont was nine years ago. The people of Orchard PArk must realize that they are in a "give and take” situation. If the Buffalo Bills were a major contender, you could bet you wouldn’t hear the ballyhoo about 80,000 people filtering through the area every other week. And if you ask Eric Country sheriff Ken Braun about the success of RockWorld One, he’ll tell you it was “easier than a football game.” The notion of large ephemeral groups is modern world phenomena that each and every major metropolitan area must come to grips with. As a matter of fact, the idea of frequent mass groupings is not only consistently modern but historically documented. Picture ancient Rome when on one of their many holidays, groups of 100,000 people would enter the Circus Maximus, which would sometimes be flooded to provide grand iosfc forms of entertainment. Now go to your nearest county legislator with this great idea for putting “the Shrine Circus on Water” scheduled for Dyngus Day at Rich Stadium. The effects would rival yelling "Fire!” in the new Canton Six Theaters. Now the reality of Rolling Stones 75 did indeed hang low and visible. It was an ugly summer festival. It also occurred during the administration of Mike Amico. Now stands the reality of Stones 78 and RockWorld One. In comparison, it was an outstanding success; arrests, injuries, general problems, everything entered at low numbers. Sheriff Braun should be commended. And, as scheduled, RockWorld Four, featuring Fleetwood Mac, should go on. But if for any reason these outdoor concerts should stop let it be when the people atteding no longer waht them. For as it stands right now, despite the musical uselessness of stadium concerts, equate with party and they’re in demand they're fun, despite the musical inconvenience. Intimacy isrthc key to rock ’n 1 roll. Even though the Rolling Stones put out a powerful performance, echoing much of Some Girls and doing it justice outdoors, how can watching Mick jagger through opposite end zone compare with the energy binoculars exchanged watching the Stones jam a 3000-seat theater, which is just what they’re doing In certain cities. As far as warm up acts go, there weren’t any Canadian rockers April Wine ar$ forced to go on an hour early. With a large percentage of the crowd still making their way into the stadium, April Wine will only remain in the minds of the rockingly intent. San Franciscans Journey arc a conglomerate of two parts Santana (guitarist Neal Schon and keyboardist Greg Rollie), one-time Steve Miller Band bassist Ross Valory and a drummer who hasn’t played with anyone special (with the possible exceptions of Mayall, Beck, Reed, Bowie, Zappa and Lofgren) Anysley Dunbar, who in fact is the showstopper. Although Journey continues to advance communicatively they are a common denominator as far as mass outdoor festivals are concerned they are a band that needs to re-evaluate themselves with the re-defining of rock ’n’ roll. Atlanta Rhythm Section certainly could not contain the open air festivities. They could not channel their own energies; yet lead singer Ronnie Hammond, who was outright pretentious, continually commented on the audience’s reason for being there. It's like asking your friend why he never showed up for a party you never threw. Nice trick. And finally, the Rolling Stones seldom do encores. Which doesn't mean all that irit/cfi except in Buffalo, the City of Encores, where the bands love it and the fans shove it. The only reason Journey and Atlanta Rhythm Section received curtain calls is because, after their respective performances, no roadies hit the stage, no music filled the air. And what the hell, we’re not going anyplace, right? There is no doubt that the people of Buffalo need to understand the meaning of encores. Blah, blah, blah a very typical concert; stupored and lost in the bottom of some two gallon container of vodka and grapefruit juice. —Tim Switala — - ... 49 reasons all in a line.

This man’s misanthropy, his tireless but tiresome probing of testicular manhood, his constant reduction of women to a level of romantic misogony make him one of America’s most offensive film directors. Yet, these very qualities have also made him a legend. Almost in solitude, Peckinpah has pursued his vision of humanity with the dedication that marks a great artist. And that is a foil for his tongue-duckedexhibitionistically-in -cheek depiction of American truckers. He skillfully exploits Kris Kristofferson's charming inability to act here, with his one facial expression, he is more a landmark in the sociological landscape than a person. In Peckinpah’s hands, Kristofferson’s Rubber Duck (a CB handle) represents the quintessential American folk hero. Trucking is a ripe medium for myth-making. This industry contains men, who by their mobility, transcend the urban topography characterizing modern American and create their own ethos in which individuality is not only possible, it is imperative.

Jungle Book & Zorro (G) Greek Tycoon (Rl — Clownish cops Ernest Borgnine is excellent as Dirty Lyle, the crazy, craggy villain who tries to stop the Rubber Duck’s convoy. However, Dirty Lyle is a cop and herein lies Convoy's message: the law is a conspiracy against individualiy, herding people into passionless lives of complacency. Cops are inept, clumsy buffoons who might arrest you just for the hell of it. Politicians are conniving, smiling, blown-dried fools who have just enough power to corrupt us all. Police and politicians may even deserve this depiction, but to equate the law with its often offensive and over-bearing officers is stupid. True, the law restricts and confines but it also protects and preserves. Is Peckinpah serious about his puerile theme or does he merely use it as an excuse for rip-roaring revelry and the bashing-in of police cars? which admittedly is a fun thing to see. And Convoy is a fun film. The cheer-getting, thrill-raising devices used are stupid but Peckinpah skillfully exploits these pastiche rituals of trucking films to create an element of parody which will leave Convoy unsurpassed in that Furthermore, genre. Convoy represents a mellowing or at least a mellow fluctuation of Sam Peckinpah’s temperament. Whether this change is an improvement or a dilution is difficult to say. All 111 venture is the observation that whereas Straw Dogs was unwatchable, The Wild Bunch was a bloody bore, and The Cross of Iron was a ridiculous melange of combat stereotypes, Convoy is both entertaining and enjoyable.

This depiction of a the art of Peckinpah’s violent woman is not raggedly offensive obsessions, we must discard the as is usually the case in Peckinpah obsessions and, incidentally, the films; it is merely typical, which is art as well. Fortunately, we need not discard Peckinpah. His most recent worlr, Convoy, displays a In mellowing. Convoy, his nefarious messages are pared to a bare minimum. And this is an improvement since his films tend to be exquisite until one of his characters opens their mouth. And there are exquisite moments in Convoy. The opening shots set the film up beautifully, distilling its best aspects into a fleeting moment of vague and alluring intimations. A mixed bag But what follows these totalizing intimations is a mixed j bag. Convoy is a mild Peckinpah film but I wonder, is a mild Peckinpah a tepid Peckinpah? Convoy is a collage of Peckinpah signatures: slow-motion bar-room brawls, trucks crashing through building in slow-motion, and long-angle shots of trucks bearing down the road. (slowly) Peckinpah mistakes these for his art and splashes them messily throughout the film. On the other hand, he often seems to be using his signatures as rpn- 'iT Lv , r.i.v,' w * f vi vj mmiiivimniBHv.

Jackson Browne and Ramblin’ Jack Elliot do some background vocalizing as well. The songs are all in Prine’s typical, folky style. His voice sounds a bit worse than on previous efforts, though maybe his 31 years are beginning to get to him. The former mailman from Melrose Park began his songwriting career years ago, at first playing, only for friends because he "didn’t think anyone would relate.” When popular performers like Kris Kristofferson, Joan Baez, John Denver and even Befte Midler began to record his sortgs, Pripe realized he might have been wrong and began putting out his own albums.

Like John Boy, Nelson probably learned guitar by strumming on his front porch to songs such as the Mills Brothers' "Stardust” and Irving Berlin’s "Blue Skies.” Also similarly to John Boy, in his youth Nelson played in dance bands which featured these songs; and undoubtedly, his songwriting and singing have been influenced by the popular artists of this earlier generation. But unlike John Boy, Nelson has been influenced by Gospel, and he is in much greater debt to Hank Williams and Bob Wills than to George Gershwin. Why did Nelson record this album? Nelson has a high pitched nasally twang which is suited for the type of music he usually sings. Though the arrangements of the songs are countrified, they still seem to be better fitted for a singer with a more full bodied, smoother set of chops. On some of the selections, the organ overpowers the rest of the instrumentation, making one wonder if maybe Willie got his start playing at the local roller rink. Other important musicians have also recorded albums which were reflective of their past, which in content, were also surprising. |ohn Lennon's Rock and Roll album for one.

He felt Follett’s prices would not differ significantly from FSA’s. The high costs of construction on Parcel B would be off-set by the purchasing power of the Follett’s corporation, Carter theorized. Parcel B is a strip of land running along Lake LaSalle north of Clemens Hall and behind the recreational Bubble. The state has leased the land to the UB Foundation with the stipulation that only 70,000 square feet may be used for commercial development. The design of any buildings on the site must be approved by the Foundation and the state to insure they conform to the architectural vocabulary of the existing campus. This has pushed construction costs up to near $40 a square foot, according to Carter. Although state land cannot be taxed by municipalities, the Town of Amherst will receive “payments in, lieu of taxes” from the Foundation, which amount to essentially the same thing. Legislation permitting commercial use of Parcel B was approved in 1975, The by now familiar wrangling with the Division of Budget (DOB) took its toll, as did the Foundation’s inability to construct buildings with its own funds. The bookstore and two restaurants will total about 35,000 square feet of space, leaving half the remaining footage still uncharted. A hotel has often been mentioned in Foundation plans.

Additional money available to the became athletic department through Governor Hugh Carey’s recent support for Amherst Campus. the Construction of Phase I of the new gym is slated to begin in the fall but that structure will lack major recreational facilities and area for classroom instruction. As a result, Chairman of Recreation, Athletics and Related Instruction Sal Esposito has recommended that another bubble-like structure be built on the Amherst Campus. According to Executive Vice Somit, President Albert Legislative approval for such a project is nine to twelve months away. Expensive skin —Esposito originally recommended a geodesic dome for permanent use. This type of structure could be completed in a very short time period, would be less expensive, but would require a greater initial outlay of cash. Esposito claimed. “A geodesic dome would not cost as much in the long run,” said Esposito. “It would cost $500,000 to $750,000 and would be permanent, while a bubble runs between $70,000 and $75,000 per year just for rental. Just to put a new layer of skin on it would cost around $100,000.” However, Esposito stated that a permanent structure cannot be built on Amherst now because it is not on’ the campus’s Master Plan. Aware that a bubble is the only immediate solution to the lack of recreational facilities, Esposito explained. “You’ve got to go with what you’ve got.” Zelasko, Walter District Manager for Commerical Sales for Birdair Structures of Cheektowaga, the firm that built —Jenson THE FIRST OF A PAIR?

Esposito said he would like to see an improved floor surface for the new bubble. The source of a great number of complaints about the Bubble is its asphalt “parking lot” playing surface. Esposito The SpECTI^UM Vol. 29, No. 4 Friday, 30 June 1978 State University of New York at Buffalo Niagara Falls’ nightmare favors installation the of a polyurethane surface which is less taxing on athletes’ legs. However, such a surface, according to a local firm, would cost an additional $90,000 to adequately install. Somit claimed that the cost of such a surface is financially impossible., Art park In Prodigal Sun Alice Cooper Movie section P.5 P.7 P.8 - Chemical hazards frighten Love Canal residents by Susan Gray The residents of the Love Canal area of Niagara Falls have trouble sleeping at night. Rosalie Janese is “afraid to go to sleep because the thought of what 1 • might have done to my children keeps running through my mind.” Three years ago James Gizzarelli, 474 99th Street, Niagara Falls, became curious when the plans for a park in the vacant field behind his hertise were dropped for no apparent reason. His inquiries led to a sobering discovery; one that was to pit hundreds of fearful residents against art unsympathetic city and, worse yet, against an unknown danger of unknown magnitude with an unknown solution. The land which the park was to be, milt mnd was a landfill, a dumpini for toxic chemical and i idustrial government Eventually, the /peeler of cancer would emerge to haunt area residents and linger in their minds. The Hooker Chemical Corporation the property in 1946. The Canal was drained in. preparation for use of the site as a “secured landfill" for chemical and industrial wastes. Hooker buried materials in the Canal from 1947 to 1953. Among the more than 100 chemicals dumped in the landfill, 11 are now known to be on one end of the site, the City of Niagara Falls acquired the remainder of the property. Today, it is city owned land. Two years ago, homeowners in the Love Canal area began to notice physical damage to their property which they suspected could be traced to an overspill of chemical waste materials. The Canal is lined with clay rainwater and drainage run-offs have the pushed chemical cancer-causing agents. The land was deeded to the - Niagara Falls Board of Education in 1953. After the construction of uncovering emerged. laterally through the canal walls. Black sludge Property damage was startling. Trees in backyards adjacent to the site died, grass discolored and withered away, redwood fences rotted. A nearby resident once had a built-in Fiberglass pool.

Aileen Vborhees, 476 99th Street, noticed pools of slimy water in her cellar. Further inspection led to the discovery that her sump pump was full of contaminated water. Thick, black sludge formed around her drains. The fumes surrounding the Love Canal area could not be ignored any longer. The acrid aroma of a chemical plant hung over the Canal site and drifted into many of the residents' homes. Burning eyes, respiratory all trouble, sinus discomfort became common complaints. The time had come to get organized. Damage to property was increasing the seepage was beginning to affect trees and grass in front yards. Complaints to city officials and requests for help, to - Hauntingfears of cancer worry. It's good for the soil. " James Gizzarelli won’t let his kids play in the backyard anymore.

Rosalie Janese has “lupus,” a skin disorder which can be caused by exposure to toxic chemicals. Her dog has a serious liver condition he likes to dig in the dirt outside.

Love ran out of money and the project was abandoned. materials through the sandy soil on the top of the dump, as well as Commentary — of the true nature of the Love Canal sparked a flurry of interest and concern among the residents of the area. Questions were raised, public documents searched, and the history behind the Canal finally - an elementary school acquired I visited the Love Canal last week, to get a first hand look at the story I was writing. James Gizzarelli and I hopped his back fence and tramped through the field. “Daddy, Daddy, where are you going?” his young daughter called. “Don’t go in the chemicals,” she crietr Gizzarelli informed me someone had bulldozed over the entire area, Hooker he thought. Before that, '••''where, open ptools of chemical big pits were should have been here before, he said. “fell on deaf I noticed the “excellent” protection the City of homeowner stated.

Scrub them,” Oizzareili said. They are now hidden in my garage, with orders given not to touch them. The homes along the Love Canal are not slums, they are not run down residences that no one gives a damn about. These are modest, middle-income families with modest, middle-value homes. But now, due to chemical contamination, these homes are Timothy Schroeder, 460 99th Street, is recognized as the “unofficial spokesman” for the residents of the Love Canal area. The interaction between the citizens and the City of Niagara Falls has become a game of political football, he said. “No one wants the responsibility,” Schroeder remarked. City officials have been called unresponsive to the pleas for help residents. from the Canal 100 people Approximately attended a recent City Council' meeting to address the Mayor and Councilmen on the issue. In a worthless. emotional statement, “Move? I'd do it in a second if someone would tense, buy,” one homeowner said. Oizzareili wants “to get Schroeder accused the city of the hell out.” The City of Niagara Falls has turned “turning a deaf ear” to the down a request by several residents to have their people. “We’re going to make a —continued on page 2— —continued on p*9e 2— �Chemicals —continued from . lot of noise," he warned Mayor Michael O’Laughlin, responding to the criticism, said “the city has its hands tied right now” and that no funds are available to remedy the problem. O'Laughlin was reproached for his lack of concern and unwillingness to accept responsibility for the Love Canal problem. Hooker has not been held directly responsible for the effects of the chemicals dumped in the Canal. When the property was deeded to the Niagara Falls Board of Education, the contract included a disclaimer clause absolving Hooker of any responsibility for the potentially dangerous wastes buried at the gone undisputed. In a statement to the Niagara Gazette, Dr. Robert Mobbs, a medical researcher from Boston, stated that Hooker “damn well knew” that the compounds they buried were harmful. Mobbs cited the pesticide lindane as an example of a hazardous chemical. “I presented evidence that it (lindane) was cancer-causing agent possible in 1948,” he r years dancer /> 1— ___ . the Department of Defense. LaFalce believes that the Army may have disposed chemical warfare wastes in the same landfill, although this could not be confirmed. A full scale probe by LaFalce's office is underway. The State Department of Health has embarked upon an study intensive to gauge the possible health hazards to residents of the area. Dr. Nicholas Vianna, the director of the Bureau of Occupational Health and Chronic Disease Research, devised a 22 page questionnaire that probes for possible diseases - acute and long-term in every organ system in the human body. - Possible site. *No comment’ Hooker Public Relation! Officer Jim Green Refused 'to comment on the Love Canal issue. “I have comments, no whatsoever," he flatly stated. “I cannot answer any questions.” When Hooker buried wastes in the empty Cana], landfilling was legal.

Aileen Vorrhees has lived on her property over 36 yean. She saw Hooker dump the chemicals. “They were loose as well as in barrels,” she said. “The canal was filled with drums, then the drums were smashed down to make room for more. Then they did it again and again ’till it was full,”"she told me. “No, they didn’t tell us what it was, nobody bothered. Oh, I asked once and they said, ‘Don’t worry, it’s good for the soil’,” she explained. . Mrs. Voorhees recalled how the workmen would get burned from the wastes they were burying. “They’d come running over and I’d get the hose ready and wash them down,” she said. I was shown the basement, saw the black sludge lining her sump pump walls. “Here, bend down, take a good whiff,” she offered. It smelled as bad as outside. I saw the “ventilation device” that HookeiTwas ordered to provide a small $15 fan placed in one of Mrs. Voorhees’ basement windows. “It did more harm than good blew air in,” she said. “We turned the damn thing off,” Mr. Voorhees joked. There are anecdotes of high cancer levels in the area. Mrs. Voorhees said that at least 25 people have died of cancer in the one block area adjacent to the Canal in the past 20 years. “That seems pretty high, don’t you agree?” she asked. Health Department officials cannot document the claimed cancer rate they say it will take years of study to discern fact from fiction.

Over 15,000 students applied here this year. The total undergraduate population for this fall has been piojected at 17,856, a figure which includes 14,300 in the day division. Executive Vice-President Albert Somit said. While the number of freshmen will increase. University officials are quick to point out that this does not mean that UB is lowering its standards. Dremuk said that the mean high school average and “mean class percentile rank” have not changed from previous years. Students admitted to UB are judged on three criteria: class average, score on standardized tests (SAT and ACTs) and graduating class rank. Although the incoming class has a mean high school average of 88.3, Dremuk admitted that, “A few with lower averages” are admitted “because they compensate with an unusually high standardized test score.” According to Dremuk the mean test scores for freshmen entering next fall are 500 for verbal and 565 for math. That compares with national scores of 429 (verbal) and 470 (math) and State averages of 434 (verbal) and 479 (math). < .1 dittAi - �editorial Bus by bus This University's annual drive to scrape up enough money to keep the Bluebirds flying is a crystalline example of the illogical, inefficient and, even for this state, inane budget procedures SUNY schools must live with. Every year, nail biting officials here submit an exhaustively detailed budget including line by line requests for funds. And every year, both elected and appointed pencil pushers decide how much we really need not in agregate, but line by line, item by item, bus by bus. So director of busing Roger McGill runs out of money annually because he and President Ketter cannot beg hard enough and the required funds must be "stolen" from other areas. Pleas for enough total operating funds to truly polish the supposed jewel of the SUN Y system have consistently fallen on stone deaf ears. We all know this. But it is puzzling, and disturbing, that the state cannot see the logic in allowing the no matter how University to parcel out its own budget in whatever fashion administrators here belfeve is meager most appropriate. The notion that Albany always knoyvs best is a difficult, nay painfdl, one to swallow. So, in addition to continually pressuring elected officials for greater freedom in spending, we all ought to realize the immense difficulty in spending money intelligently and equitably at this University. - exll — — by lay Rosen Read now or forever hold your peace.

Remember the Boston Tea Syndicate. Decisions beget decisions - - . A quorum please . . The cycle continues. The media keeps redoubling the tinyefforts of a few fanatics into sweeping about a new disgust with taxes. No one’s got courage enough to stand up and say: “Yeah, I’m pretty disgusted, but I’ve always been disgusted with taxes, partly because I don’t understand where they go and partly because I’m very cynical about those crooks in public office and because I’m very prejudiced against partly freeloaders living off my money.” And that’s the truth. In a recent Courier-Express survey, an overwhelming majority of respondents selected Welfare as the first place they would cut. Social services second. Ask those same people where welfare funding originates and they couldn’t tell you. Anyone who pretends that taxpayers were ever satisfied with taxes is extremely naive. This so called revolt is the result of a number of inter-mingling factors that are hardly new, all stirred together and boiled over by a trend thirsty news media.

INS District Director Benedict Ferro threatened April 29 to revoke UB’s charter to admit foreign students if the University did not comply with the federal agency’s request. Specifically, INS investigators are requesting the files to determine if the foreign students fraudulently claimed sufficient financial resources to support themselves while in school a requirement for a student visa. Checks wifi also be made comparing the names of students granted tuition waivers with documents detailing financial resources. Robert University President Ketter is maintaining a staunch position opposing the request, claiming a duty on the part 6f'the University to protect students' privacy by protecting their records. His assistant, Ronald Stein, explained that the INS could subpoena the information, although so far it — . has refused to do so. Stein said he doesn’t believe a statute exists that obligates the University to disclose financial information for any student without a court order Possibly illegal NAFSA’s letter, according to Foreign Student Advisor Joseph Williams, urged the INS to instruct Ferro immediately to drop his request for the information. If called the INS justification for the request “inappropriate.” According to Williams, the letter said that plans existed for a new foreign student information statement and any demands for information not covered by the statement were “improper, unreasonable, and possibly illegal.” Both Stein and Williams said they are not worried about the threat against the University’s charter. The University will turn over the records if legally subpoenaed, Stein said. Ferro- refused to comment on that possibility, but said he is “looking for a resolution, and discussions [with Ketter’s office] have been fruitful.” SAfailure to retain quorum delays the budget once more Inability to retain a quorum the Student Association Executive Committee (SA) Wednesday night to adjourn a meeting that had been called to consider a budget for the coming fiscal year.

Strikes quotas Supreme Court rules for Bakke The Supreme Court ruled 5—4 Wednesday that Allan Bakke be admitted to the University of California at Davis Medical School, but did not strike down affirmative action programs as unconstitutional. The Court, per Justice Lewis F. Powell, held that racial quotas or goals are unconstitutional, but left the doors open for universities to give minority students preference in admissions policies. It disallowed the admissions procedure utilized by the University of California which had reserved 16 of its 100 Medical School seats for blacks, Hispanics and Asian-Arhericans. Marshall dissents Wrote Powell: “Preferring members of -my one group for no reason other than race oi ethnic origin is discrimination for its own sake.” ■ However, the Court upheld the constitutionality of admissions programs such as Harvard’s, which are Resigned to create an ethically diverse student body of talented individuals from varying backgrounds. Although the Court’s decision dealt exclusively with university admissions procedures, critics of the decision fear that this will be the first step in the demise of affirmative action programs. Justice Thurgood Marshall, the only black on the Court, claimed that the decision could have widespread implications and is not as narrowly based as some have suggested. - Hours posted The Record Coop, in the basement of Squire Hall, is open during the summer.

N.Y. 14221 �‘School’s Out Tour ’78’ Alice Cooper’s revised image is too tame by Andrew Ross Alice Cooper and his "School’s Out Tour 78 (which is also* being advertised as “Alice Cooper King ot the Silver Screen”) made its national debut )une_ 20 in Buffalo’s Memorial Auditorium. In the past, Alice has been acclaimed as a pioneer of theatrical rock dramatically (and often over-dramatically) combining sex and violence on stage with the power of rock. Tales of Alice beheading himself on stage, spraying chicken guts into the audience and performing other similariy perverse acts are well documented. This year's tour is a bit toned down. He has replaced the shocking displays of vulgarity, which highlighted his previous shows, with a “Las Vegas Revue” styled portrayal of sex and violence; complete with props and lavishly costumed dancers. The evening started punctually at 8 p.m. with the Climax Blues Band. They played admirably considering-they faced a high-schoojish audience fell bend on throwing firecracers and reeking of summer’s fever. After an intermission guaranteed to throw a shell-shocked veteran into a relapse, the lights went out for Alice. A recording came on as a man on stage put a six foot tall television plug into an equally oversized socket. A film was transmitted onto a giant slittcd silver television screen behind which was Alice and his band. Alice on film was running toward the camera, eventually penetrating the screen and bursting into real life. The band opened up with "Under My Wheels.” — Alice in concert For the next two hours, Alice, the band, and his show-people performed 1 4 of his mo4t popular songs for the enthusiastic, yet never-hystericaFaudience. Each song had its own stage performance and an Alice at the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium A disappointing lack of power and terror often complimentary screen show. For instance, during "Only Women Bleed" a woman danced ballet on stage in synch (almost) with hef image on screen. During the other numbers, Alice and his four dancers performed a thorough dramatization of the rites of sex, sadism, and violence, predominant themes in his songs. However, never were these portrayals gruesome or violent The show used ploys which toyed with the concept of “The Silver Screen” of television. Often Alice an; the other members of the show disappeared and returned as two-dimensional screen characters, eventually re-appearing in three dimensions at the close of songs. The time behind the screen (in which they changed costumes), was often as long as five minutes and seemed to rob the show of energy it previously mounted. Alice, the band, and the dancers were off stage (and on screen) for far too great a portion of the show. Of the show’s fifteen songs, thirteen were rockers. Throughout the evening the band improved but they lacked the power and tightness of Alice’s previous bands. Presently, it boasts Davey Johnstone (guitar) and Dee Murray (bass, former members of The Elton John Band. Considering the talent the two have previously displayed, both were disappointing. During the show’s two ballads, “You And Me” and "Only Women Bleed,” inept harmony vocals were all too apparent. The show ended with an encore of “School’s Out,” and the satisfied audience uneventfully filed out of the auditorium. The show was, at best, entertaining. It lacked the terror of Alice’s previous shows and was devoid of the power which propels a top flight rock and roll band. His shows once presented a frenzied union of rock to theatrics. With his new image and band, Alice is seeking to widen his audience and has thus tamed his show. Unfortunately, he's gone too far. The Jumpers arrive with a 45 It’s only rock and roll, but you’ll love it indefatigable in his crusade business for Power Pop. And as far as his belief in the Jumpers goes, he needn't worry. The Jumpers arc going to crack the Buffalo scene rjghl open with- their debut single, "\ Wanna Know What’s Going On / You’ll Know Better When I’m Gone,” followed by a well-timed Buffalo appearance at the Armory Tavern, and a shot as opener for the Ramones at T,G.’s in Westchester — by Barbara Komansky The lure of some rural cloister existing for each individual has often called to those seeking release from the metropolitan sprawl. What these potential recluses don’t realize is that the tinny urban dronings contain not only a niche but a sphere in which to expand. And certainly this is no more visible than in the case of rock and roll. Heavy metal machines, guitars and industrial cars. Detroit has shown how teen angels plus metallic surroundings equal ROCK AND ROLL. Buffalo can be favorably compared with Detroit. Both depend on steel-based industry for a good deal of tax revenue. There's too much unemployment and not enough urban renewal. There’s a large blue-collar percentage in the work 7 force. And Buffalo is about to make its assault on the world of rock and roll, starting now. Just like the commerical for the Tuesday night Jumpers / Bahama Mama I New Math show as the Spectrum said, critic Greg Shaw would like jo see the Jumpers succeed. And for those of you who have never picked up on Mr. Shaw’s publication, Bomp (available at Play It Again Sam), he is one of the oldest and most esteemed critics in the County. It’s only rock and roll x The Jumpers play rock and roll. That’s what lead singer Terry Sullivan will tell you if you ask. Not punk or heavy metal or New Wave or English pop or American bop. Just rock and roll. They’ve been together for three quarters of a year, and been playing gigs for the last four months. The Jumpers caught the attention of many media people in Buffalo the night they mide their debut at a benefit party for Egg/, the music publication at Buff State, and have not slowed down since. Following that appearance came numerous Satruday nights at McVan’s, openings at Hallwalls Gallery, and a surprise wipeout of the Gizmos aT the Tralfamadore. There was a packed audience, including two promoters no less likely place than Avignon, France. They wanted to sign from a the Jumpers on the spot for a festival there later on in the year. And this is with hardly more than a tape of the then future single (now a reality). So what are the cogs that keep the Jumpers running so_ smoothly? Aside from Sullivan, who is one hell of a and dedicated powerful singer showman, the Jumpers consist of bass, drums, lead and rhythm guitars. Lead guitar is handled by Scott Michaels, in the grand tradition of Chuck Berry and Keith Richard. Says Sullivan, “Scott is the longest standing member of the Jumpers. Scott is the Jumpers, actually ..Michaels is assisted on the metal strings by Bob Kozak, author of such potential hits as “Cindy's Going On A Holiday,” along with both sides of the current single. These three discovered bassist Craig Meylan and drummer Rogei Nichol at the beach one day, and soon following, started to prepare for the public. Contractual capers A step in that direction was acquiri/tg Steve Ralbovsky as manager. Ralbovsky held the post of Concert Chairman for SUB Board at Buff State for two years and has been responsible for some of the best concerts ever seen in this city. As Jumpers manager, he is close to zeroing in on his goal of getting the Jumpers signed by a major label. The Jumpers as seen on their single Hamburg rock and roll. . . tasty! “He’s fantastic/ says Sullivan. “There’s two record companies (undisclosed at thh point) interested in us now . . . He’s doing a great job-for us.” Ralbovsky not only booked them into the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, but came away with a return invitation. He set up the Ramones date, and there will be dates soon at Max’- Kansas City in New York and at The Rat in Boston. Buffalo, do you want to know what’s going on? Then see the Jumpers, tomorrow at the Armory Tavern on Connecticut Avenue, pick up the single at Play It Again Sam, hunt them down the next lime they play, but get with it! The Jumpers are ready. You can’t say you weren’t warned. �Phaedrus TRANSIT Transit Rd. DRIVE IN MA at FWIenport /Si 625-8535_ Voice of the Sun ' Rich Stadium, understandably, is not the premier rock showplace Buffalo. In fact, it may be the least initmate and comfortable ofall in area venues. And yet The Rolling SToncs, the headliners of Rock World One, a devastating outdoor extravaganza which also features the groups Journey, Atlanta Rhythm Section and April Wine, merit a trip to Orchard Park. Had The Rolling Stones' new album, Some Girls, lacked endurance or fresh new twists, it certainly would have made Rock World One an easy toss off. Some Girls is the honest triumph long overdue. So, it becomes even more important to acknowledge the band’s 15-year legacy. And though this critic finds several disturbing aspects attributed to the Stones' concert, attendance should be mandatory. This may be the last chance for many to sec The Rolling Stones perform live. The dissipation of the Stones as a unit is always possible. With Keith Richard's possible drug sentence, which would subsequently release Jagger to follow a desired career in films, the break-up of The Stones stands a bit stronger than mere Hollywood Who dunnit?

The Stones’ concert will feature a strong batch of new material as well as the customary hit tunes. “Shattered,” a fine, funky tirade on Manhattan, N.Y., and “Before They Make Me Run," Keith Richard’s ode to jumping bail, both from the Some Girls Ip, match the intensity of the compositions found on Exile on Main Street. Perhaps The Stones’ greatest asset is that they will appear without a horn section or Billy Preston.

Such films are produced in an effort to compete with television by imitating its style. The result is two-hour cinematic sitcoms which are often humorous than their less television counterparts. Ostensibly, Heaven Can Walt differs little from other cheesecake comedies of the television age. The premise of the film is on a level of idiocy equal to that of ABC’s Fantasy Island-, a young football hero is mistakenly brought to heaven. When the error is uncovered, he is to be returned oh dam! to his body-but his body has been cremated. So, he is put into another body and must go around with everyone thinking that he’s someone other than he is. Hi-jinks ensue. But, through casting, competent admirable acting, and a genuinely humorous screenplay written by Elaine May and Warren Beatty, Heaven Can Wait overcomes this idiocy and is In an era honed by Python and and frothy - - successfully funny Beatty Warren does a respectable job, I suppose. I’ve never beep too excited by this actor but I must admit that as |oe Pendleton, his Adpnisian featues and boyish enthusiasm make him a and likeable positive protagonist. His reaction to his change of bodies lacks the interest we might expect him to have. The real stars Julie Christie plays Betty Lord, the fiery, independent woman who captures Joe's heart (on first sight, of course) and who, as a character, became cliche some decades ago. Their romance is a annoyance but schmaltzy fortunately remains in the background until the end of the film where it ruins the closing sequence. The real stars of the film are Charles Crodin and Dyan Cannon, who play the illicit love duet of Anthony Abbot and Mrs. Leo Farnsworth. Charles Grodin, who was the much-needed comic relief in the recent remake of King Kong and in the recent made-for-TV comedy, just You And Me, has taken the stale role of the executive yes-man and created a lush vehicle for mirth. With his clean, sanforized features, Grodin plays his lines with quiet finesse. His timing and facial features invest life into lines, making them comical even when, on paper, they are not. In short, Charles Grodin has done for this role what Monty Python did for dead parrots. Overcomes mediocrity Buck Henry, James Mason (who looks distressinly old), Vincent Gardinia, and jack Wazrden all give meritorious though earth-shaking not performances. The film is directed by Buck Henry and Warren Beatty who seem to know how to use the camera competently but not imaginatively.

Catcher Phil Ganci, playing for the Lake Shore West-Herrs, was recently named Player of the Week in the Buffalo Evening News Suburban Baseball Association. Ganci drove in 17 runs in two games for Lake Shore, including a 10 rbi effort against Lake View on again, the question is; How is his arm? “He’s throwing very well," says Buffalo Assistant coach Gary Montour, obviously pleased. Who’s on third If Ganci is sound, coach Bill Monkarsh can use versatile John Pedersen at third base to Till the hole left by the departure of Mike Groh. Pedersen, who started out as a shortstop, has been playing rightfield and catcher in the summer leagues. Barring a repeat of last year’s heavy rains, Monkarsh has the entire fall schedule to test Pedersen at the hot corner. Since Pedersen has already played the two toughest positions on the diamond, shortstop and catcher, he shouldn’t have too much trouble with third. Monkarsh and Montour are that Vt hoping pitcher Dave mgr Rosenhahn will decide to play for UB. Rosenhahn was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the June Phil Ganci free agent draft. The 253rd pick overall, Rosehahn was the Pirates’ UB catcher tenth and last selection in the June 18th.

Discussion during the two hour meeting centered on a series of amendments, passed 7-1, proposed by Executive Vice-President Karl Schwartz. The amendments were designed to break the deadlock holding up ratification of the budget. The Exeuctive Committee comprised of high level SA officials is seeking a compromise between the budget presented to them by the SA Finance Committee a more broad-based representative body in late April and an alternative budget hammered out between certain members of the Executive Committee in an after-hours session in mid-May. The alternative budget is causing concern among members of the Executive Committee, including SA Treasurer Fred Wawrzonek, who worked with the Finance Committee, because it does not allocate money to each individual SA organization as the Finance Committee’s budget does. Instead, the budget gives large amounts of money to each of the three Task Force coordinators. Ideally, the Task Forces, through representatives from each organization, would then allocate money to each organization falling under its jurisdiction. — — - The only UB project presently in the Supplemental Budget is the Music and Chamber Hall and that is the only facility which could be jeopardized by the delay. Money for four other Phase I of the Amherst gym, the major projects Lecture Hall, a Central Engineering Facility and a Civil Engineering Building has already been — — allocated and will not be affected by the recent impasse Maybe in September Construction of those four projects is still contingent upon a review committee’s approval of the Housing Finance Agency’s request to sell bonds necessary to finance the facilities. Neal said the groundbreaking on the two engineering projects could commence as early as September. He indicated that work on the lecture hall and the gym would probably begin between one and two months later. — Left silently Schwartz’s amendments mandate that money to academic and hobby clubs, be allocated according to the Finance Committee’s budget, i.e., a separate allocation to each organization. New clubs, including the New Musical Theatre Troupe, will be funded while others are cut. Schwartz’s proposal also involves cutting the publicity fee from each organization’s budget and putting the sum together under the SA publicity chairman’s responsibility. The Jewish Student Union (JSU) will also receive an increase of $2500 in the new budget. That would bring their total to $7800. The meeting was running smoothly until President Richard Mott recognized Wawrzonek. Wawrzonek called for a vote on the Finance Committee’s budget, in an attempt to scrap the alternative budget altogether. When that motion was voted down by a 2-5-2 margin, Wawrzonek silently left the meeting. Later he declared that he was “sick of the whole thing.” Tension ran even higher after observer Larry Schilinger told the Committee it should avoid the alternative budget because of the “precedent that it sets.” Schilinger objected to the Committee’s unofficial, unexpected fashion in which the alternative budget was prepared. Fears SA Vice-President for Sub-Board Jane Baum countered Schilinger in an emotional speech that left Committee members somewhat dumbfounded. Baum said the Committee shouldn’t worry about setting a precedent. “We are getting bogged down jn our own fear,” she warned. Baum said that if the Committee felt it was doing the “rational, logical thing and was acting in the best interests of (he students,” it should follow whatever course of action necessary. Discussion then moved to an amendment proposed by at-large-representative Scott Jiusto that would have cut the increase in the JSU’s budget proposed by Schwartz from $2500 to $1300. Schwartz told the Committee that the JSU was “in real danger of dissolution.” Jiusto’s motion failed in a 3-4-1 vote. Schwartz’s amendments were eventually passed by the overwhelming vote of 7-1. Mott attempted at this point to get some amendments of his own passed but before they could be voted upon the meeting was forced to break because Squire Hall was closing. The Spectrum Vol. 29, No. 3 State University of New SUNY censured by UP for retrenchment policies by David Levy Delegates to the 64th annual meeting of the American of University Association Professors (AAUP) voted June 9 to add three institutions, including the State University of New York (SUNY) to the Association’s list of censured administrations. Three previously institutions were censured removed from the list, leaving the number of institutions at 45. Censure is a method by which the AAUP informs the academic of violations by certain University administrations of generally recognized principles of academic freedom and tenure. Those principles were adopted in 1940 in the AAUP’s Statement of Principles of Academic Freedom and Tenure and have been widely adopted as a standard by most colleges and universities across the United States. The censure motion was based on a recommendation issued by the Association’s Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure. community The report, first published in the AAUP’s August, 1977 bulletin* also censured the University of Detroit and Phillips Community Cbilege in Arkansas. A vote to censure affects the institutions involved only in its standing and reputation the in academic community. The investigating committee’s report dealt with the dismissal of over 160 SUNY faculty members, 80 of whom were tenured, during 1975 and 1976. The dismissals took place during a period of retrenchment mandated by a reduction in percent seven legislative appropriations to SUNY. Deemed appropriate The report found fault with three ways the SUNY Central administration handled the retrenchment process: the role faculty played in determining which academic programs were to be terminated; inadequate notice given faculty to dismissed members; and failure to consult with the Faculty Senate. The retrenchment program was based on Article 35 of the collective bargaining agreement between the State of New York and United University Professions, to determine at what level the retrenchment will be applied - university-wide, campus, department unit or program. In this case, the Chancellor made the presidents of the 29 involved SUNY institutions his designee during the retrenchment process. The individual presidents were BAIRD POINT GROUNDBREAKING: A little bit of old Greece will enhance the new Amherst campus this September when construction is completed on the Baird Point open-air amphitheater.

The committee found that “the faculties played at best a minor role” in where academic determining program terminations were to occur and in particular which faculty members were to be dismissed. The report accused some administrations of paying “little heed to the importance of tenure commitments.” Faculty members were dismissed without the benefit of hearings by faculty bodies. The committee also found fault in the way notice was given to dismissed faculty members and said efforts to help them find positions Inc.

SUNY Faculty Vice-Chancellor for and Staff Relations Komisar, called the Jerome “seriously AAUP’s action deficient” and accused the faculty body of “failing to comprehend the severity of the situation.” The most disturbing element, said Komisar, is that the motion “fails to respect the fact that State University operates under the retrenchment policies established through the collective bargaining with Unjted University Professors, The administration SUNY ackno wledged that its negotiated poHdes djffer from those of the AAUp but uU that they were required under the collective designed to maintain the academic bargaining agreement to consult quality, of the SUNY system.

He stated, “As of this moment, the other by Elena Cacavas the city comptroller of New York is far guy ahead.” Regan attributed his opponent’s success to ample finances and an already started downstate television campaign. However, the County Executive viewed “a heavy television schedule in New York City, as the means to setting the competition on equal ground.” Dureya’s ticket advocates a tough stance on the law and order issue, backed by strong support of the death penalty; it seeks to increase job opportunities in hopes of solving the problems of the economically disadvantaged minorities; and proposes that candidates raise campaign funds independently, yet work from a common party pool “when it is wise to do so.” With respect to crime, Duryea favors “mandatory minimum sentences” for specific crimes, a tightening of the plea-bargaining system, implementation of the death penalty, and imprisonment for those who committed crimes with guns. In addition, the assemblyman supports the alternative of handling juvenile crimes in state criminal courts rather than in Family Courts, as is the current practice. — — Four Republican hopefuls tossed their collective hats into the empty GOP ring Monday and launched their campaign with a breakfast and press conference at the Statler Hilton Hotel. Running on the Republican ticket are Perry B. Duryea (Governor), Edward Regan (Comptroller), Michael Roth (Attorney General) and Bruce Caputo (lieutenant Governor). Assembly Minority Leader Duryea outlined his stance on Buffalo’s fiscal crisis in relation to the recent Hurd decision which has forced Buffalo to make up a shortfall of several million dollars as a result of illegal tax hikes. Duryea advocated an outright grant to the city rather than the loan program advanced by Governor Carey. The GOP candidate termed his proposal “a more positive, more helpful” approach to the problem. Carey’s solution of a state loan met with harsh rebuttal from city officials who instead supported the concept of covering the deficit with an outright grant.

Lockwood New library faces old (budget) problem The new Lockwood Ubrary will have more shelves, more books, more seats and fewer staff members and operating hours for a facility of its size. At present, the library is operating.,, on a full summer schedule, but according to chief librarian, Madeline Stem, seven more staff members will be required to' bring Lockwood’s services up to full swing in the fall. state-mandated A retrenchment that eliminated three staff positions last year, along with a freeze of four more vacant positions, have plagued the times. Police have so far been baffled by the slaying. There have been no suspects, since the discovery of the body about 11:30 a.m. Thursday. No motive has been established. Clifton was an athletic man who often swam nude off Buffalo Beach. His body was found unclothed with stab wounds in the chest, neck, back and arms.

According to CA Co-director Ken Sherman, NFG has suffered a bad public image in Western New York because of the 1978 deaths of two Buffalo senior citizens, deaths directly due to gas shut-offs. Other factors have compounded the animosity toward NFG excessive profits reaped as a result of the Blizzard of ’77, a proposed $41 million rate increase in addition to an already granted $6.7 million increase, and a recent announcement of a $25 fee for reconnection of service after shut-offs. — ‘Rather amusing’ In a letter to the President of NFG, Louis Reif, Sherman stated that the majority of NFG stockholders own less than 200 shares each and live in Western New York. A Buffalo based meeting would “make it possible for the average stockholder to speak to issues Of company policy,” he said. Sherman commented on the economic advantages of holding the NFG meeting in Buffalo, remarking that the influx of stockholders would benefit the area’s economy and be a welcome addition to the operation of the Buffalo Convention Center. “They would be fools not to have the meeting here,” he said. Reif strongly disagreed, maintaining, “Only thirty to fifty people show up at these meetings.” He claimed that most of NFG’s shareholders are retired and live in Florida. “It would be totally unthinkable and a waste of time and money to rent the Convention Center for a meeting attended by fifty people. It would be absurd,” Reif declared. Reif termed CA’s request “rather amusing,” stating that the organization was more interested in demonstration than actually enhancing the image of NFG in Buffalo. In addition Reif remarked, “These meetings are for shareholders, not for customers. I don’t think they (CA) understand that.” The annual meeting is no place for complaints of problems, he said. {Citizens' Alliance has not, yet been notified of Reif’s intention of refusing theirrequest. “I have not yet evaluated how to respond,” Reif explained. -Susan Gray i Free energy audit Sick of high fuel bills?

' Ffcge four The Spectrum Friday, 23 June 1978 . . �Alain Robbe-Grillet I’image et le texte, novel and film Distinguished contemporary French writer and filmmaker Alain Robbe-Grillet lectured here earlier this week on the relationship between words and images as they fit into fiction and film, how incompatible the two really are, and how both mediums of creative expression are changing. He spoke to an audience of mostly graduate students and Humanities pro essors in Baldy Hall, as part of a Graduate Colloquium on Narratives and Images. Robbe-Grillet related the unfeasibility of translating his own writing into film and explained the inherent contradictions between the two forms of artistic expression. He explained the goal of the nouveau roman as not to represent the world, but to demonstrate how, through structure and relationships, one derives a notion of reality. “It is impossible to translate words accurately into images,” he said. He noted the failure of great filmmaker Visconti to successfully interpret Camus’ The Stranger for the screen. Speaking of the more traditional Balzacian novel, he explained how the narrative can shift from the interior to the exterior or from qne speaker to the next, but how the point of view of the camera is necessarily fixed. “Whereas novels are often written in different forms of the past such as the passe compose of the passe simple (which does not exist in English),” he continued, “films are always done in the present.” The discussion then turned to ideas concerning systems of meaning. In the traditional “Balzacian” novel one found “probability and causality” from wbich meaning could be derived. In the nouveau roman there has been a disintegration of these traditional notions as they have been replaced by the improbable and the presence of a "textual consciousness of the writing itself.” Another current idea discussed and dismissed by Robbe-Grillet was that of consciousness being structured like language. The new filmmakers should "explore the contradictions of differing systems of meaning," he commented, and not impose unworkable ■’ V structures. This notion was evident in his film Homme Qui Ment (The Man Who Lies), screened Tuesday evening in the Squire Conference Theater, in which a central image was that of a breaking glass. The glass is seen accompanied by an appropriate crash on the sound track; then breaks with no correlative expression of sound, and once the sound is heard while there is no visual Representation. In this way there is a disintegration of forms of expression from which meaning can be derived. Robbe-Grillet leads the viewer to a radical and expanded view of how things have meaning through relationships other than traditional ideas of causality and * probability. The Man Who Lies contains no truths, according to the author and therefore "the actors cannot lie.” “Now let me tell you my real story,” the main character begins at several points, determined to dismiss everything said beforehand. There is no truth to the man’s existence; he must speak merely to exist. Likewise, “there is no truth except in ideology,” says Robbe-Grillet. “The man who accepts his own freedom is a creator —Craig Miller of the world.” ‘Grease’ smells of mothballs Funny accents, embarrasing script ? and Frankie Avalon plague hyped musical ' aren’t engaged in verbal crudeness or seven sentences at one time in they display their bare buttocks in Saturday Night Fever, deserves a technique known as "mooning” better.

"A roachcllp?" - � � � � � Phaedrus, the protagonist in Robert Pirsig’s semi-non-fiction classic, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, is driven to insanity as he quests for an acceptable concept of Quality, or Good. He traces the modern idea of Good to the great triumvirate of Greek philosophers: Socrates, Plato and Aristotle who postulated that what is Good, what is Truth, is a finite phenomenon. It exists. Arid' If somebody is brilliant enough, logical to the sparkle of reason, he can stab it with a knife and hold it up for the world to see. This is a concept inbred in modern society. Taken for granted by many. No questions asked. But in ancient times, a group of philosophers, the Sophists, thought that Good was a reality itself, ever-changing, ultimately unknowable in any kind of fixed, rigid way. Pirsig feels that this concept died away thousands of years ago, leaving a framework of objectivism pervading our world. I doubt anybody would dare say that the Arts are critically approachable from a totally rational, logical milieu. It’s much easier to swallow a theory that Art is appreciated, at its roots, intuitively.

It seems that sometimes we like to view our criticism as transmissions directly bolting off of some hard-and-fast, eternal, sublime vein of real, objective judgment. Ludicrous. The foundations of criticism are shady indeed, and rightly so. the great 19th century composer D’lndy for There have been many one convinced that any criticism is hopelessly arbitrary and therefore unhelpful. Many times I have to agree. It’s always bothered my when I read reviews of the same movie, radically disagreeing and written in the third person. Every time, I wonder what the reviewer choked on at dinner, why he picked that night to kick a puppy, or why the beautiful blonde winked at him exiting the cinema. All of these things affect his article but so rarely do the readers get the whole story in the first person. Once I read a review of Pretty Baby in which the critic denounced it as too bloody. Too bloody? Maybe he thought Brooke Shields played the slice-happy villian of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre because there was no blood in the film he was supposed to see. And then there was the critic who complained about a famed Greek singer because he could not understand the foreign lyrics. I wouldn't put more than a stick of butter’s worth of faith in a critic. Sometimes, maybe, his intuition will land flat on top of yours and his review will mean a lot to you. Which is why I am including the story about the woman who scared the hell out of me by assuming — - — — nothing. * * � � � "You ask strange questions."

B. by Joy Clark Most students don’t realize it, but a motion picture about a UB student, filmed at the Ellicott Complex, premiered recently. Although it wasn’t shown in a major theater, you might have caught student filmmaker Jim Paul’s latest, Nuts, on International Cable. Paul emulated Woody Allen he wrote, produced, directed and starred in the film. — Paul’s latest feature, his seventh, is a comedy thriller. The newly-elected president of the Inter-Residence Council plays Harry Putz, a student unjustly accused of stealing biology exams. Putz’s desperate quest to elude University Police and the real villians involved everything from car chases and pie fights to a confrontation with a “Lurch-like” character named Bruno. The camera work is attractive; the long shots from the tower$ making Ellicott appear quite beautiful. Paul also employs clever transitions to keep the movie’s pace moving along smoothly. The acting, although not on par with DeNiro or Dunaway, is commendable. Paul does a credibleHob_a*'t)ie low key putz, while Ava Saltzman, as love interest Ann Atomy, deservedly receives at least one wolf whistle. Bob Saslawsky is especially funny as the mindless Bruno, who revels in his hatred for law, accounting and pre-med students. Nuts' best performance is turned in by actor Craig Kellas. Kellas plays a Bogart-imitating member of the University Police, as well as the villian, Flange Klamp, a vicious pre-med exam thief and Student Association (SA) president. The film’s major weakness is in the script. Co-writers Paul and Bob Baron are guilty of trying to stuff too much into this 30-minute film. Instead of choosing plot devices to suit the story, the writers seem to have first decided to include a pie fight, a Bogart, a car chase, etc. and then constructed a plot around these devices. And next time, fellows, please leave out the corny sex jokes. (Putz pauses while kissing Atomy. "Anything wrong?” she asks, "No. just a TONIGHT Oh yeah Birdman is giving away Drafts again!!!

"Nuts was intended to be an entertaining movie, a crowd pleaser,” explains Paul, who combines a psychology major with a special film and television major. Crowd pleaser The crowd certainly was pleased at Nuts' Ellicott perm'ier. Over 100 students showed up to laugh, cheer and groan appreciably. Since then Nuts has been shown tjjree times on Internationa] Cable TV. Paul produced the movie as an independent study project under professor James Blue. Unlike his six previous films, which he calls "intellectual exercises,” Paul said he has no pretentions about Nuts. "In the other films, I tried to see how much symbolism I could cram in,” he commented. “My intention with Nuts was to make a film that was technically fluid." And funny. Paul uses a combination of techniques, ranging from Woody Allen to Alfred Hitchcock to James Bond movies in order to lampoon SA, law, pre-med and students. The accounting multi-talented Paul also plays the kazzo in Nuts. (with His next project executive Brian producer Henderson), will be entitled Deadline, a film about a reporter for The Spectrum. Bob Baron will play the role of a reporter who somehow gets involved in international intrigue. Will Paul have a role in the news film? “I'll make a Hitchcock appearance," he promised. He also promised that Deadline would be his biggtn,-—naost spectacular film yet. “It’s going to be fast paced the accent will be on thrills and suspense.” — wsM-wr 3 �Herbie Mann plays Artpark Brazilian jazz influence characterizes well-received concert the j program.

They will be performing on the steps of the Harriman Library on Wednesday, July 5, at 7 p.m., sponsored by the UUAB Music Committee with no admission charge. The Dillon-Brady Band was conceived to solve the need of Phil Dillon and John Brady to find a satisfactory method of presenting their original material. Last October in Rochester, Dillon and Brady recorded an album which was produced by Steve Miller Band drummer Gary Mallaber. The duo used studio msucians to record the album; most notably, Jay Beckenstein and Jeremy Wall of Spyro Gyra and well-known session bassist Harvey Brooks. The band is in the process of finding a record company for distribution of the album. The Dillon-Brady Band performs an eclectic, melodic form of rock which is descendant from the fold and latin influenced sound of rockers such as the Buffalo Springfield ("Uno Mundo” for instance), and from the more loosely constructed jazz-tinged music of the Boston groups of the early 70s (e.g., the Youngbloods). In performance, The Dillon-Brady Band plays an even mix of original and previously covered tunes. Although more involved in playing their original material Dillon and Brady having penned the bulk of the group’s originals the band does enjoy dping other compositions. For example, the band performs an enjoyable version of Steely Dan’s “Home at — — W'l*; j Last,” giving the song the urgency and spontaneity The Dan’s studio version lacks. The members of The Dillon-Brady Band are veterans of the local music scene. Phil Dillon first achieved notoriety for his work in the defunct Buffalo group, Flash. John Brady is a patriach of the local coffeehouse circuit, through which he has intermittently been paired with Phil. Gerardo Velez (whose first professional gig was at Woodstock as a member of Jimi Hendrix’ band of Gypsies) and drummer Duffy Forens were just recently members of Spyro Gyra. (Duffy will be rejoining them in the fall.) Their bassist, Carl Cedar, played with the Buffalo soul band Equinox and Their bessist, Carl Cedar, played with the Buffalo soul band Equinox and stinted with the Emil Palami Big Band. The Dillon-Brady Band view their music as a melodic type of rock and believe they offer something quite different fron any of their previous incarnations. According to John, “Confusion has been caused by the fact that me and Phil used to perform acours tic ally as a duo simply known as Dillon-Brady. Sometimes people come to view the band expecting to see an acoustic duo.” It feels ri$£ iMs time,” bassist Carl Cedar sfeid. "This is going to be tjw next band to make it out of Buffalo,” Gerardo Velez added. Recently the bend has been booked (for dates at Rochester’s Glass Onion and Cleveland’s Peabody Cafe.

Title V, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973* js federal legislation that mandates institutions make their all facilities accessible to both the physically and mentally disabled by June, 1980. The symposium drew officials from state-wide groups concerned with increasing the general the understanding of Title V Act of the “Civil Rights University Handicapped.” President Robert Ketter delivered the opening remarks. in Participants joined ' - workshops, listened to speakers, and viewed films in Squire Hall the only campus building that comes close to meeting federal accessibility requirements. When plans were drawn up for the symposium. Squire Hall did not meet these requirements. Only last week were changes made bring the building up to federal standards. Director of the Office of Services for the Handicapped at UB, Arthur Burke, called Title V Symposium, “a definite success.” Pat Ryan, coordinator of the New York Public Interest Research Access Group’s Handicapped Project, saw the event as a potential catalyst for the victory of the disabled in achieving full accessibility at all institutions - Storage facility not wanted A bill prohibiting the Federal Government from building a permanent nuclear waste storage facility in New York without the consent of the State Legislature has passed the Assembly and is pending before the Senate. Introduced by Assemblyman William B. Hoyt (D., Buffalo) and Senator H. Douglas Barclay, the legislation is a response to a federal report indicating the West Valley site as a likely location for a permanent federal nuclear waste The report, labled “nuclear blackmail” by State Energy Commissioner James L. Larocca, implied that a federal bailout of West Valley estimated to run as high as $600 million will hinge upon the State agreeing to the waste storage facility. The bill requires public hearings and studies on the health, safety, and fiscal implications of a — - permanent waste repository. Protest planned Danger: nuclear waste war , plant, Sister Rosalie Bertell, formerly of Roswell Park Institute and a nationally recognized expert on cancer-causing agents, will speak about the effects of low-level radiation on the population. Samples of water from Cattaraugus Creek will be sent to state and federal officials to symbolize the potential danger of nuclear waste leakage to farm and drinking water supplies and the environment. The coalition supporting the West Valley march consists of: Buffalo AntiNuc Group, Buffalo Multitude for Survival, the New York'Public Interest Research Groups, People’s Power Coalition, Riverside Salem, Tolstoy College and the Western New York Peace Center. Similar rallies are planned for tomorrow in areas of Ontario, New York State and New Hampshire places where construction of nuclear power plants is -Kay Fiegl slated- A rally will be held in Springville, New York tomorrow protesting the storage of nuclear waste in West Valley, New York. The day is being recognized across the nation as one of protest against nuclear warfare. TKe facility was designed to prevent radioactive for 40 years but higher percentages of birth defects in the Springville-West Valley area have confirmed suspicions that small amounts of radioactive waste have been spilled. Participants in the rally will gather in a roadside park in West Valley at 9 a.m., three miles from the shutdown nuclear facility. Nuclear Field Services, a subsidiary of Getty Oil, closed the plant in 1972, leaving the cleanup operation to the state government. Cleanup costs are estimated to range between 600 million and one billion dollars, Following a march to the gates of the nuclear — Info on auto insurance Having Automobile Insurance hassles?

Original plans called for Ridge Lea to be vacated by now.

Reiss New York Governor Hugh Carey, warming up for his re-election bid, announced Friday at Amherst that he will push for the release of $48.8 million to launch new construction efforts at the skeletal North Campus. Carey also claimed that he will request $1.26 million in the State Supplemental Budget for planning for the School of Dentistry at the Main Street-Campus. That Main Street money, the governor said, is coupled with the soon to be built $6.9 million Experimental Research and Facility for the School of Faculty Health and Sciences. The $48.8 million for work at Amherst will be used for the six major projects: Phase I of the gym ($12.5 million); a Music Center ($11.4 million); a Central Engineering Facility ($9 million); a Civil Engineering Building ($5.5 million); a lecture Hall ($4 million); access roads and athletic fields for the physical education and an electrical facility, distribution system needed to provide power to the facilities. Carey spoke at the Talbert Banquet Room in Capen Hall at Amherst, before approximately 250 people, many of whom were involved in construction trades. “A high priority of my administration has been to complete the work here and at Main Street, necessary for the integration of these campuses as viable parts of the State President for Facilities Planning John Neal echoed those comments last week.

Students are protesting against universities that hold investments in American businesses that opera a nation where racism is legal and systematic in South Africa Increasing pressure from swelling interest and protests has forced man; trustees to re-evaluate their South African ties Unlike the day-to-day front page coverage the heated Carter-Castn debate has received, the students and trustees have been fighting obscurity. Nevertheless, the noise on campuses is growing and it appears that it is not going to let up. After sporadic protests in the last dozen years, the anti-apartheid movement began to solidify last spring when two demonstrations led to mass arrests. Stanford University hosted a demonstration resulting in the arrest of 298 students and a University ofCalifornia at Berkeley sit-in led to 58 arrests. - Nostalgic protects The west coast activity has spread to campuses here in the east, bringing back memories of college movements against the war in Vietnam. On May 1st, 10,000 students protested Columbia University’s interests in 44 American companies in South Africa in a demonstration that produced fear of the same violence that plagued the university in the sixties. Later that month, 5000 Harvard students marched through the Ivy League campus in Boston over the same issue. Students at Harvard and Columbia and at Duke and several other prestigious universities have organized divestiture movements similar to those at Princeton and Yale. But none of the movements, according to student leaders, will be mature for some time. Princeton University students, who started the divestiture movement, have little to show for their efforts. A firm statement released by University trustees maintained that Princeton would not consider the divestiture because it is not a means for social change in South Africa. The report reasoned that Princeton “exerts its power primarily through individuals and ideas.” These instruments, the report continued, are only successful in the long run. When the negative effects of withdrawing investment are compared to the minor contribution “to racial justice one believes will follow from purging the University’s investment,” divestiture will be paradoxical to the role of Princeton. i CALL FOR Referendum removal Fahey proposes recall bill allowing officials removal 9 by Joel DiMarco University District Councilman Eugene Fahey recently introduced a bill into the Common Council that would set up procedures for the removal of any elected city official before the end of his term of office. This proposed “recall” bill would require that a referendum be held to decide upon such a removal provided a for the petition calling referenddm received an appropriate number of signatures. Critics have charged that such a recall measure would result in the recall of a public official “simply ‘Financially hazardous’? because people don’t like his Trustees at Columbia University feel differently. In an unexpected attitude.” To support this claim, move last week it was announced that Columbia would withdraw opponents have pointed to the holdings in companies that “respond in a manner manifesting recall measures being used against indifference, through act or omission, to the prevailing repressive racial Mayor Dennis Kusinich of policies in South Africa.” The board recognized complete divestiture as Cleveland. “Kusinich’s methods “financially hazardous.” are admittedly off-beat but they After long and bitter debates between the students and trustees at are fiscally sound,” remarked one Columbia, the board's concession does not satisfy activists’ demands.

Additionally, Mole feels that both he and Mattar are “still kind of blind as to what the community wants.” Explaining that the theater “is here to make money,” Mole said that once he is able to determine what the wants, he will community definitely gear presentations to that area. At present, plans call for a wide variety of film offerings. Mole explained that in response to numerous requests for children’s films, a “kiddee matinee” is scheduled for this weekend. Several years ago 43' RESERVED —Jenson MAKING A COMEBACK: The Granada Theater reopened May 4 after a two-year period of dormancy. Michael Theaters, a Long Island based pornography company, took over the Granada. After poor business, however, the city foreclosed the Buffalo operation in lieu of $100,000 in back taxes. When the city announced it would accept bids on the Granada Complex, Wendy’s, an Ohio-based fast food concern, and local resident Lawrence Mattar became the principal contenders for the property. Despite the fact that Wendy’s was $55,000 larger than that offered by Mattar, the latter’s was accepted. In addition to the selling price, Mattar promised to renovate the inside and outside of the and to offer building diversified presentations ranging from organ concerts to ballets. Local sentiment apparently - influenced the Common Council’s decision. Petitions circulated indicated that residents and proprietors in the area around n Dep.

The petitions pointed out that the area between the Granada and the University already contained 16 operations fast food or restaurants. Residents miles per hour.” Price added, “If you consider the neighborhood important, the Granada Theater is the best thing we can do.” Winspear maintained that Wendy’s would add to litter problems and already snarled traffic conditions on Main Street. Area residents also believed that the large crowds an operating theater draws will be a deterrent to crime.

He explained, “We are the only privately owned first-run movie house in Buffalo and we are competing with multi-cinema corporations.” Thus, Mole said, “Most of our bids for new releases are rejected.” However, the Granada has won exclusive rights to a first-run release of the rock film The Last Waltz, scheduled to start on August 9 and run for six weeks. According to Mole, “This should give us a very clear view of how business will be.” Since it now attracts an “adult crowd,” the Granada is operating regular hours.

The decision contains loopholes allowing trustees to maintain investments as they are now, according to David Rosenberg, student-reporter of the Columbia Spectator. The resolution consists of broad clauses giving trustees freedom to reject proposals for virtually any divesting action. The banks merely have to “announce their intention” to cease lending to the South African government if Columbia will continue to hold onto their stocks and interests in those banks. The majority of the banks in New York with which the university deals have already agreed to “restrict” loans to the private - sector. “The banks state their good intentions, Columbia backs them up and everyone looks good while nothing actually gets done,” Rosenberg commented. No timetable The trustees promised to examine possibilities of divestiture on a “case by case basis.” Rosenberg felt that Columbia will take advantage of the opportunity to act discriminately and divest in a small handful of companies, if any, involving “petty” investments. Bikes are shifting into high gear increasing concern for physical fitness as well as consciousness of the energy shortage has generated new interest in biking as a recreation and transportation alternative. More than 100 million Americans own bicycles today and an expected 9.3 million will join their ranks by the end of this year. Manufacturers are quickly capitalizing on the increased the standard utility demand bicycle is fast becoming obsolete, giving way to the newer designs and styles. The ten speed touring bike is currently the most popular in the United States. It features dropped racer-type handlebars, saddle seat, hand brakes, and a lightweight frame. The gear range is adaptable to many types of terrain, especially roads and hills encountered in city and country riding. The ten speed’s tires are slightly wider than a racing bike, built to insure a more comfortable ride. — 'It is feared that since there is no timetable for the trustees’ promise, there will be virtually no check on the board’s actions when the students perceive them negligent. Students at Columbia have had more success than their counterparts at the University of California at Berkeley where at a sit-in last week, 51 students were arrested. “Eastern conservatives are more responsive to student demands,’’ commented an editor at the Daily Californian. “They (trustees) don’t even listen to us and it would be very foolish if the Columbia decision isn’t looked upon as a step in Custom built the right direction,” he said.

Proposition - Student Association (SA) President Richard Mott was elected to the Executive Committee of the Student Association of the State University (SASU) at the organization’s annual conference last weekend in Potsdam. Newly elected Graduate Student Association President Joyce Finn also was elected to the Executive Committee. The overwhelming election of two representatives from UB signifies a marked improvement in relations between SA and SASU. Six months ago, SA President Dennis Delia failed in his attempt to convince the Student Senate to withdraw /from SASU in a vicious dispute over lobbying efforts made by the'state-wide organization. Delia claimed that SASU had lobbied intensively for Stony Brook construction while shortchanging UB’s Amherst building efforts. Among SASU’s new efforts are: Legislative support for the Vann/Owens anti-apartl\eid bill any State business with corporations and contractors having considerable holdings and money invested in - which would halt South Africa. Amendment of the law that denies a person the right to vote in a county in which he is not a permanent resident. State takeover of funding for athletics at SUNY schools. Only three states still mandate that athletics be funded out of student activity fees. This in effect denies that athletics is — — educational. Increasing the mandatory student fee from its present ceiling of $70. The present ceiling was set in 1968. “We are not in favor of raising the fee at this University,” said Schwartz. SASU also passed the following resolutions: Support of extension of the deadline for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. The women’s movement is seeking a seven year extension. Supporting the rights of the citizens of Washington, D.C. to vote in Congressional elections. Both Mott and Schwartz said that they were “very impressed with SASU in terms of what the organization stands for and the people involved.” Schwartz maintained that SA will be taking a more active role in SASU efforts this year. — — - Oh yeah Birdman is giving away Drafts again!!!'

I recently read an editorial by Kwong Nghien Michael Pierce on present conditions in Indo-China. Now I saw the entire situation there as insane when the U.S. was really present thefe. I saw it as a failure of the world order. As usual the UN merely sat and watched the carnage (perhaps this was all it could do). But by what 1 hear from some sources that reconstruction has been quite brutal. If South Vietnam was a separate sovereignty and what has taken place there now is due to 'physical intervention from North Vietnam and North Vietnam is also a separate sovereignty then what is taking place there is an act of outright aggression and a violation of law as great as that perpetuated by the United States, is all that reconstruction due to treaty violations? Now the United States may have violated International Law by its presence over there. And it definitely did cause havoc. But I wonder why people would risk their lives to float out into the Gulf of and Tonkin in Sampans if the reconstruction is all that beautiful. Why Would Vietnamese refugees be trying to gain access to this country? I wish the above authors would address themselves to this issue. Now I merely wish to say that there seems to be a view prevalent today that human rights and property rights are at odds with each other. Anyone who says this is forgetting that the right to_ property is a human right. When this is forgotten'you will have such as you see in present-day human tragedy South Vietnam and Cambodia. I feel I am very critical of the American people and I feel the United States must never violate the territorial integrity of other lands but it is free to demonstrate to the world the grace of the rule of law and the right to property. New alternatives for human existence can only be done by increasing access to property to all members of a population. This is what food stamps and non-discrimination in employment are all about. Think it over. - Ralph Linder A word for Carroll To the Editor. It was more than a shock when most of us in local media criticism heard of the untimely death of Atlantic and Elektra/Asylum record executive Carroll Hardy. There is no risk in being maudlin in eulogizing this man because this v letter evokes no eulogy, but just feelings. When 1 heard of Carroll’s death the thought occurred to me that if it was some other promotion person who perished in an auto accident the matter involved would be less upsetting. This is not the talk of callousness; it is merely expounding an idea that most would agree with; the fact That Carroll was more than a record executive he was a friend. Because Carroll cared enough to listen to college critics and even to cater to their whims because he supplied us kids with a good degree of fatherly friendship, he let us feel needed. To- remember Carroll then is to remember kindness; and we all fantacize about kindness as being a living thing. — - Harold Goldberg Page six Hie Spectrum Friday, 16 June 1978 . . �Velez, Beckenstein, Kurtzdorfer Percussive forms drive jazz-rock sound —Morgan Reinhardt, Strauss, < jAfoll Fusion at the Tralf\ J Spyro Gyra leaves Buffalo for national tour New rhythm section and new album excite speculation by Tim Switala If you took the melodic ingredients of rhythm and blues and rock and funk and coupled these energies within a motion-filled symmetry of sound, rooted in a network of jazz’ - strongest traditions, you might find yourself sufficiently immersed in what has become the cool visions of the commercially successful West coast jazz scene (suggested listening material: Tom Scott, the L.A. Express, the Crusaders). And then again, you might just as easily have been part of the SRO crowds that repeatedly violated personal space in vain attempts to become part of the ever-developing jazz happening at 2610 'A Main Street every A disturbing factor in the decision by Spyro Gyra to construct this highly rhythmic foundation is that it calls for the replacement of two members of the currently got existing "rhythm" Section, drummer Ted Reinhardt and guitarist Rick Strauss. Stressing that the changes did n<Jt') arise from personality clashes, Reinhardt pointed ouctbai the move is designed to introduce players with simpler and more solid styles attempting to create a steady rhythm groundwork. Beckenstein and Wall have previously intimated that one of their strongest influences is R&B, and one might expect the new group to develop along these lines. This structural change may be for their undisclosed national tour having been boUked with the likes of Santana, AWB and Smokey Robinson in the past. An area disco drummer, and one-time Spyro Gyra alumni, Eli Konikoff, will replace Reinhardt. Who will replace the guitarist is unclear. New rhythm section Along with coordinating their upcoming tour and finalizing mixes on a soon-to-be-released second album (sometime late this summer), Beckenstein and Wall are now re-integrating Spyro Gyra into a seven piece combo with the additions of a second keyboardist, Tom Schuman (ex-Brithright member and contributor to first album) and percussionist Girardo Velez. Recent success The recent success of Spyro Gyra and what goes with it touring plans, limelight controversies, etc. has come about through the decision by Amherst records to re-mix and re-distribute the Spyro Gyra debut album, released on Beckenstein’s independent label, Cross-Eyed Bear. Whereas the Cross-Eyed Bear edition released 3,500 copies (quickly selling out to become a collector’s item), the re-release on Amherst, packaged with a new cover and nationally promoted, went on to sell 85,000 copies during its first three weeks of distribution. This week’s Billboard charts show that Spyro Gyra has advanced ten positions, coming in at 102, while the single, "Shaker Song” (which receives airplay on virtually every station in the Buffalo area), continues to climb up both the soul and pop surveys. With a second album nearing release date, it does not seem inappropriate for Spyro Gyra to begin to move in certain directions. The true shock value of Spyro Gyra Thursday. That was when Spyro Gyra and the Tralfamadore Cafe together. As the brainchild of a saxist Jay Beckenstein and Keyboardist Jeremy Wall, Spyro Gyra is emerging from their early inception as a jam session at Jack Daniels’, to presently preparing for a national tour, following the massive acceptance of their debul album, Spyro Gyra. Spyro Gyra’s appearance at the Tralfamadore Cafe the first weekend in June marked the final time this Buffalo-based quintet will perform in the area clubs a seemingly logical move with the group’s anticipation of touring. It also marked the last time the group will surface as a quintet. - — - - - leaving the area’s clubs can only be measured when the group returns from touring. Projecting their degree of accessibility until that time would be difficult. Any present discussion concerning Spyro Gyra’s pendingwith the Buffalo scene is merely excited relationship speculation. Success for Buffalo "I can understand it,” points out Wall in regards to the recent concern over the group decision which has gathered criticism from various local music personalities. "But it’s not like we’re never going to play clubs again, it’s just that we’re going to do some touring that’s all,” adds Wall. Like the first album, the upcoming release will exhibit high caliber session musicians who will only prove to enhance the quality of the music. There will be appearances by vibes maste; David Samuels (Double Image, Gerry Nlewood), Birthright keyboardist Tom Schuman and renowned session percussionist Rubens Bassini. Three of the eight tracks will contain the wares of an extremely competent New York City rhythm section: bassist Will Lee, guitarist John Tropea, drummer Steve Jordan. Supporting Beckenstein as a horn section will be the ever-popular Brecker Brothers. The remainder of the album will contain the workings of the previous quintet: Beckenstein (“Morning Dance", "Heliopolous”), Wall ("Rasual”, “Starburst”, "Little Linda"), Strauss ("Shanti”, “End of Romanticism") along with the playing of bassist Jim Kurtzdorfer and drummer Ted Reinhardt. So despite the controversies, or to the dismay of some, the facts are evident: Spyro Gyra has created an undeniably important scene. The success of Spyro Gyra no longer depends on Buffalo. Rather, the success of Buffalo, musically, may be dependent on Spyro Gyra for that all-important break. Here it is... it had to happen sooner or later. - A FESTIVAL FOR ALL: Hordes of people flocked the streets of Allentown last weekend, drawn by the annual Outdoor Arts Festival. Some came to see the objets d'art. Some came to bask in the sunshine. And many came to just hang out. Phottn by Pam Janaon rn )ct:i �Phaedrus Voice of the Sun "Excuse me, er what Is this?” asks the woman with white Inner-tube glasses covering a red, sagging visage. Joanne Rafferty, the second prize winner for abstract waterco/ors at last weekend's Allentown Outdoor Arts Festival politely smiles, "Pen and Ink ma ‘am." "No, no, no... what Is it?" doggedly pursues the woman. After some moments contemplating the woman's gaffe, among the thousands of speckled spectators and artists’ booths, Joanne kindly responds, "Ocean. "Oh..." . .. — “ Only at an outdoor festival like Allentown can an artist of Rafferty’s caliber bring her work in contact with the motley masses, many of whom seemed to be unable to appreciate her delicate, dreamlike landscapes. Of course, most of the art work there was not as sparkling as Rafferty’s. And, most of the crowd weren’t as thick as that woman. There was something there for just about everybody. Shoulder to shoulder I doubt anybody ever meant the festival to match the consistent artistic excellence (of practitioner or observer) of Rochester’s Clothesline Festival or a Parisian rue. But neither of the aforementioned can match Allentown's overflowing summertime atmosphere. (The only thing to which one could compare the scantily-apparelled deeply tanned arrays of flesh parading shoulder to shoulder along Delaware Avenue is the first mile of the Boston Marathon.) No matter what local critics say about the dreg-like quality of some of the art exhibited on the sun-spattered streets last weekend, nobody can deny that it was an event. And loads of fun, too. The jurors of the festival have told a Courier-Express reporter that they plan to recommend the number of entrants to be cut in half next year. What a botch the festival would become! First of all, if its intention is to bring people to the declining Allentown business district, shrinking the number of exhibits would certainly contradict that intent and the popular appeal. by Tom Werman an trademarks at CBS Inc. 01978CBS Inc. AVAILABLE AT ALL CAVAGE RECORD STORES UB winners "I think the Courier is wrong,” said Mary Johnson, first place finisher in watercolor. "Except for the Albright Knox, Buffalo offers an artist no recognition.” Johnson cites the many clubs and shows in Rochester that constantly blanket the art scene there with attention. Indeed, many fine artists came. (One Pen and Ink artist hailed from North Carolina.) In general, the majority were Western New Yorkers. In fact, UB’s Art Department can boast of at least three winners: a first place award in abstract photography to Wayne Goldstein, a graduate student here; an honorable mention to Shirty Magee in abstract painting, a Millard Fillmore student; and Rafferty, who completed her graduate study at UB. It should be noted however, that many of the stands were mere clutters of cutesy pottery, cliche paintings, and unimaginative assemblyline-like woodcraft. Too much pottery Nobody can deny that at least as many eyes examined the summer dress styles, physiques and tans of the crowd as the exhibits. According to Bev Cronkite, a painter, “the people came here to sec the sights not the art.” One UB student agrees, “It’s a big hangout, that’s all.. The jurors might limit the amount of pottery from now on to prevent the show from turning into a cheap flea market. But in no other drastic matter should the show be curtailed in order to raise Its standa-ds.' I see no evidence that top-quality art is, or should be, scared away because of the festival's size or the quality of some of its works. The festival should remain the melange of party and Art which allows the Buffalo community to join together and collectively welcome the summer. —B.B. - C.P.I.

They wanted those people to walk in the front door with everybody else. 1 thought to myself, “How rude; they can’t even afford privileges for possibly one of their most talented employees. Thousands of pushy young fans with excuses will probably sneak back there some way or other, while this gentleman with a real dedication for his work and music probably won’t.

He was extraordinarily helpful and responsive, and his years of experience in the music industry did not produce the disgust or bitterness that is so easily acquirable in such a demanding field. Last 'week, while at Hardy’s house, he gave us a little speech about how the music business is made up of two words: music and business. We concluded with the regretful thought that there were too many people that knew only the second word. And that is a large part of the reason the void Carroll Hardy left wilt be hard to fill.

Since Gregory Peck almost finished him off in a cathedral, Damien has aged seven years and now lives with Peck’s brother, a wealthy industrialist named Richard Thorn (Holden) and his wife (Grant). The first few minutes of Damien Omen 2 are rolls into a ditch. The film is not content with simply letting the audience catch its breath; we get to see her inch her way back out only to see her onto the road splat against a ten ton truck. And in another, a man falls through the ice of a pond and is taken by the current just underneath a hock'y rink where children are playing. For several moments, the camera tracks the man slip-sliding-away as he contorts his cries for help These are only two of ten such scenes, with the rest killed with a new twist. Many viewers might object to these lucid guts. But it is superbly competent in conjuring horror. Like the first film, clear-as-day symbolism saturates Damien.

The emphasis will be on academics the second day, with freshmen spending most of their time at Squire Hall. After a general academic welcome and specific faculty introduction, groups will be available for advisement. The students will also tour the Main Street Campus that day. A graduate student working on orientation developed an issue slide show, which utilizes slides of common student hassles (such as large classes, waiting on lines and trying to find a parking space) combined with a tape of students talking about their problems. The orientation participants will also be treated to the usual social activities planned by the committee. One night there will be a Monte Carlo night, complete with and roulette blackjack wheels.

However, it is believed that more than twice as many people were involved in the cheating. After the fireworks subsided and the dust cleared, the accused cadets found themselves detached from their alma mater. The 92 readmitted cadets who graduated last Wednesday have undoubtedly sparked the most drastic change in the institution’s 176-year history. West Point’s metamorphisis has called for an alteration in the academic program, the military training, and a re-evaluation of the cadet honor system. Goodpaster, an ex-N.A.T.O. commander who left retirement to supervise the transition, said, “Something like the cheating scandal does not happen by accident there must be some underlying causes.” make your mark on the university.

As a result, cadets will be taking larger doses of philosophy dburses and will probably be required to register for a new course, entitled ‘The Institution of' the American Society,” which deals with the military and its relation to the press government. the and Ironically, one of the courses that will be scrapped and become part of another course, is Electrical Engineering 304, the course in which the cadets were discovered to be cheating.

Students & Faculty I Typing, Xeroxing, Printing, Dissertations, Resumes, Theses LATKO PRINTING & COPYING CENTERS made last Friday, Cerabone pointed out that other cities, such as Baltimore, have successfully used this approach to revitalize their downtown areas. Fahey argued that the city’s downtown neighborhoods must not be revitalized “at the expense of the uptown residential neighborhoods.” Fahey feels that “we just don’t have the leadership iri City Hall” tb make the so-called Baltimore approach workable in Buffalo. He also contended that the large amount of cooperation necessary is lacking here and that “our people just don’t have the necessary expertise in neighborhood revitalization. Outsiders are just not capable of understanding the needs of a particular neighborhood,” said Fahey. When asked if he thought if UB could help Buffalo’s in revitalization efforts, Fahey gave a rather blunt, “No, I don’t. The University lost its chance to really conti ibute something to us when it decided to build its new campus in that swampland out in Amherst rather than the waterfront. If they had built it downtown it would have brought people into our downtown area and it could have, done a lot for our theater district.” Fahey didn’t think that either the Economics University’s Department or its Urban Studies College could be helpful to the that city remarking “the University does nothing for free.” age 2— citizens.

Teams in ten men’s varsity sports baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, ice hockey, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and field and wrestling will begin the SUNY competing in Conference in the 1978-79 season. The SUNY Conference is composed of other Division 111 schools within the SUNY system. Buffalo will join Brockport, Fredonia, Geneseo, Oswego, Albany, Binghamton, Cortland, Oneonta, Plattsburgh, Potsdam and Buffalo State which recently reclassified its .athletic program to Division 111 as members within the SUNY Conference. In addition, the Bulls will retain their affiliations with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) and the New York Collegiate Hockey Association Football Bulls are priming for season bylJavid Davidson — just over two months remaining before the first official Buffalo coach Bill Dando has begun to put the nucleus for the 1978 Bulls football squad. Dando has 58 players from last year’s team, which recorded an 0-3-1 record in an abbreviated schedule. With a year’s experience under their belts, the veterans will team up with a crop of hopeful freshmen in what promises to be an exciting fall season at UB. “We’re much bigger than last year and also much faster,” said Dando. Returning after a solid season is offensive tackle Jim Voux at 6-3, 245 lbs. Voux’s size will not be unusual among Bull linemen this year. Freshman Dave Krupp, who played high school ball for Kenmore East, and Kevin Jurkiewicz, of St. Francis Athel Springs, are two other solidly built frontmen the Bulls have high hopes for. With a strong, agile interior, the Bulls will be able to rely on a running attack which showed promise last year. Mark Gabryel, a 5-11, 175 lb. sophomore who ran 41 yards against the Rochester Institute of Technology for UB’s first touchdown last season, should start at halfback. With Gabryel running to the outside on the veer offense, Gary Phelps (5-5, 190) will provide the blocking strength and inside attack at fullback. With practice, together returning — — — ., Quarterback quarrel will be the team which has the Bulls will play only teams in the best record in SUNYAC play.

The soccer with other conference teams. - “There will be a big fight for the quarterback position,” pointed out Dando. “Two quarterbacks were injured in practice last year and will be returning.” The two, Ray Larsen and Bill Forbes, plus promising freshman Robert Constanza of Grand Island, are just three among the field of candidates who will have to contend with southpaw Mike Niemet and baseball star Jim Rodriguez for the signal calling chores on the Bulls. Niemet saw little action last year, but proved he could throw the ball. Against Canisius, he hit Ernie Robinson with a 24 yard pass for Buffalo’s only score of the game. Dan Vecchies and Defensive end Jim Granchelii will team up with freshmen hopefuls Mike Migolsky and Randy Biggler, both from Williamsville East, to form the backbone of the Bulls split defense. Vecchies, a linebacker, had a solid campaign as a freshman and can be expected to Improve. Assistant coach Gene Zinni, a new addition to Dando’s staff, will be concentrating on the defensive linemen and linebackers. With their size and quickness, that unit should give the Bulls a more polished look this fall. Experience counts Dando has one major problem to contend with between now and September, since Division III rules forbid practice until 19 days prior to the start of the season. With this in mind, he must be able to cut his team down to eighty players from 130 in the space of a week. Dando admitted that last year, bfetween poor weather at the end of August, and an entirely new team, he was at a handicap. This year he seems less concerned about such difficulties. With.a year behind them, Dando feels the veterans will be able to play up to par from the outset. “The year experience is very important,” Dando said. “They know what’s expected of them and how much t0 improve.” He later added that practice is the time for players to open up the coaches’ eyes. “If they’re football players, then they’ll find a place on the team.” What Dando is looking for in his program is players that are fast and want to play. As for the schedule, which starts with a game at Cortland on September '9th, Dando feels every game will be tough, since most of the opponents are more seasoned. Knowing in his own mind that even in the first year the Bulls were never outclassed, is what leaves Dando confident that in the second year, the Bulls will start to build a team capable of nine solid football games both this fall and in the coming season. )■■)■■■■■■■■■■■ MflBflBl ITS HAIR at Palmer's Beauty Salon — 3124 Main St (Next to Laundromat) -UNISEXstyle - Precision - layer Styling to suit your budgetl Call for appointment please — — cuts 20% Off 836-0777 I - / Friday, i/tto»aSi, *riT nvkmtti ostuft siiut dl , '/r,br' 16 June 1978 The Spectrum Page thirteen . . ■ \ . .

The Bulls were absent from post season play for the first time in three years. 1978 was to be the year that the young Buffalo team matured into a steady, potent unit. With only three players gone from 1977, the squad was supposed to have been stronger and more experienced Even though players had been drafted off the 1976 group, the 1977 team still managed to win 27, lose 20, and sneak into the playoffs. This year the Bulls got off to an unusually good start in Florida, winning nine of seventeen, including a big upset over the University of Miami. It was the most successful trip in the eleven years that coach Bill Monkarsh has been taking his team to play under the Florida sun. Then, Buffalo ran into a pair of weekend trips from which it would never recover. Plagued by sloppy defense and erratic pitching, the Bulls blew two big leads to George Washington University, losing both games of the doubleheader by one run. “We had both games in the bag,” Monkarsh said after the debacle. Weekend in New York One week later, the Bulls dropped a pair to Seton Hall, and followed that up with single game losses to Fairfield and St. Johns, extending their losing streak to six games, Seton Hall, Fairfield and St. Johns all made the playoffs. The Redmen also won the Eastern Regionals and advanced to the College World Series in Omaha. The loss to St. Johns was a particularly bitter one. The Bulls forfeited that contest in the ninth inning after an umpire’s call at home plate precipitated a bench clearing dispute.

But, they won twelve of their next fourteen and things began to look up. But a shadow was soon cast over the Bulls’ brightening future when they split a doubleheader with Ithaca and then lost two games to Cornell the following day to kill their playoff chances. Volunteers Needed especially graduate students III! “The doubleheader loss to Cornell crucified us,” Monkarsh said. “If we split with Cornell, we go to the playoffs.” Cornell was also selected to play in the post season tournament. Foreign Student Orientation Two injuries weakened UB considerably. Phil Ganci, a .303 hitter last season, batted only .182 and did hot hit a home run. Ganci played in only 24 games because of an injured shoulder that prevented him from playing in the field for virtually all of the season. Ganci’s powerful righthanded bat was sorely missed. Only a handful The second serious UB injury was to pitcher Mike Betz. The junior tri captain, counted on to be the ace of the staff, pitched a mere five innings due to arm woes. The sore armed righty was 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA while giving up six hits and six walks in those five innings. One would suspect that if Ganci and Betz were healthy, the Bulls would have been in the playoffs. Monkarsh, for one, believes this to be the case. “We would have been the number one seed,” Monkarsh claimed. One bright spot this year was the play of Mike Groh, the senior tri-captain. He earned recognition as an NCAA District II second team All Star at third base after moving there from second. Groh set nine individual records while batting .464, the ninth best season average in UB history. Groh’s keen eye at the plate enabled him to compile an astounding .634 on base percentage. He walked twice as many times (47) as any other teammate. Groh improved both his strength and hitting skills through hard work. He was not drafted to play pro baseball because of his lack of speed and weak arm, according to Monkarsh. “But he’s such a good hitter and he’s a tremendous college ballplayer,” the coach said. John Pedersen also had a fine year for Buffalo. With Ganci hurt, the versatile Pedersen moved behind the plate to hit 306 and win praise for his defensive work. With Groh gone, Monkarsh said that he might move Pedersen to third, if Ganci is able to catch. /'■~\But whoever plays third will have some big shoes to fill. “It’s very difficult to replace a kid like Mike Groh,” Monkarsh said.

Ketter by giving the embattled President a unanimous vote of confidence May 19. The Council, which received more than 50 letters in support of Ketter from community and university members, termed the President’s tenure one of “poise, diligence, dedication and ability .” The' Council, an appointed body of community and business leaders with indirect influence on the presidency, agreed to delve into the alleged widespread disenchantment with Ketter at its regular investigation, calling it a “whitewash” and a “mockery” of the serious charges against Ketter. The President sat clamly throughout the proceedings. Most of the letters the Council received alluded the "innuendo” and “rumor” that the letter-writers believed characterized The Spectrum’s article and the student government’s no confidence votes. The council reportedly received no letters detracting from the President’s performance. to Re-appointment? May meeting. The letters all unsolicited public record. - It then scheduled a special session for June to present the results of the inquiry., A week later, that meeting was moved up to May 19.

At top, workmen begin to assemble the roof of the new biology greenhouse near Cooke-Hochstetter Halls.

For construction details, see story below. of the were made part The Council refused to allow R. Nagarajan, President of Student- Association, to defend his government against charges of an “innuendo” campaign by the students. Nagarajan sought to read a prepared statement outlining GSA’s specific grievances against Ketter. Ketter, whose term expires in ,1980, will come up for review in the spring of 1979 if he decides to seek another five years. He has publicly stated that he has not reached a decision on any re-appointment No confidence Ketter had come under intense criticism the preceding month after an April 17 article in The Spectrum chronicled - serious mistrust and tension within his administration. The undergraduate and “no graduate Student Associations voted confidence” in the President a few weeks later.

I certainly can see no excuse for the majority of things that are occurring in universities at the present time any more than I could during the 60s.

Although the warm weather has finally moved into the Buffalo area, UB’s construction outlook remains cool as work on only a few minor projects is underway at the Amherst Campus. Two maintenance buildings are being constructed near Maple Road, and work is moving along on the Biology greenhouse next to the Cooke-Hochstetter tower. However, money needed to finance Amherst’s major priority'-projects Phase I (the fieldhouse) of the Amherst gym, the Music and Chamber Hall, the Communications Center and two Engineering buildings remains in the fiscally cautious hands of the State Division of the Budget. Work on two road projects and one utility project has also gotten underway. The road work includes construction of a temporary by-pass for Millersport Highway, a new entry road to the north campus, more parking spaces near Clemens Hall and the Governors Residence Halls and bicycle paths near Flint Loop. Improvements will also be made in the campus water, sanitation, drainage, gas and electric facilities. According to Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal, these projects should be completed within two years and become operational by the summer o 1 1980. - - - The rerouting of Millersport Highway, by the State Department of Transportation, is in progress on schedule and, said Neal, will cost —continued on page 2— - “ ...

The project is slated to be completed by September, 1980. Further improvements on the beleaguered Amherst Campus include the addition of $300,000 worth of trees surrounding the Ellicott Complex, and the construction of Baird Point, an ampitheater which will rise from the murky depths of Lake LaSalle. Baird Point, funded by the UB Foundation, will utilize the old Federal Reserve Bank columns which presently lie on the edge of the Main Street’s Baird softball field. That project is slated to be completed by this September. The ampitheater will be used for outdoor concerts, theater productions, and is designed as a student meeting place on an otherwise center-free campus. Neal said that plans for the Music and Chamber Hall and the Communications Center are “ninety-nine percent complete,” that the buildings are in the, supplemental budget but that no appropriations have been made. Appropriations but ho allocations have been made for the two engineering buildings, Phase 1 one the gym and a lecture hall which will be located east of Norton Hall, Neal said. Ketter’s prediction When University President Robert Ketter addressed students in an open forum one month ago, he indicated that construction of those projects would probably begin when Governor Hugh Carey makes his campaign swing in Western New York at the end of the summer. Neal stated that if work is to begin then, word would come from Albany within a few weeks. Neal remains “cautiously optimistic” about the construction outlook and said that he hoped Ketter’s prediction comes SQUIRE HALL NORMAL 9*30 am -130 pm Neal claimed that even when all the aforementioned projects are completed, Amherst will be “at most, 60 percent complete." The campus Will still lack space for Social Sciences, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, theatrical performances, large lectures, Phase II of (he gym (which will house recreational space), and student activities. Neal claimed that the student activity space is “not my highest priority” and also noted that since there are no dorms on the construction horizon, the Political Science Department will continue to take up student living space in Spaulding Quad. Neal denied that the State University Board of Trustees’ projection of lower enrollment on the SUNY system would lead to further construction cutbacks for UB. He said that although enrollment figures in the SUNY system may be down, the figures at Buffalo are stable.

ELUCOTT COMPLEX , �Committee fails to pass SA s budget Despite numerous meetings and weeks of debate, the Student Association (SA) Executive Committee failed Wednesday to pass a budget for the upcoming fiscal year. The SA Senate, Finance Committee recommended' a budget of $895,250 -in late April to the Executive Committee for review. The Executive Committee, comprised of officers of SA and coordinators and representatives from the three Task Forces, reviewed the proposed budget, decided that it was unfeasible and presented a budget of their own to the Financial Assembly on May 1 1. The Financial Assembly includes: the Executive and Finance Committees and members of the Student Activities and Services Task Force. According to the SA Constitution, the budget must be passed by the Assembly before the last day of classes May 13 this year or the budget is returned to the Executive Committee for final approval. The Financial Assembly, meeting on May 12, failed to agree on the budget proposed by the Finance Committee or the alternative budget recommended by the Executive Committee. The alternative budget was hammered out in a meeting among a few members of the Executive Committee May 9. Although the official meeting had ended, at-large-representative Scott Jiusto asked those members still present if they were willing to stay and come up with a budget of their own. Those present at the after-hours sessions included: SA President Richard Mott, Executive Vice President Karl Schwartz, Jiusto, Director of Public Information Linda Schuller and interested - - observer Bill Finkelstein. Fair amounts? The alternative budget, unlike the Finance Committee’s does not allocate money to each SA organization. Instead, it gives large amounts of money to each Task Force (Academic Affairs, Student Affairs and Student Activities and Services) and to the Minority Affairs Coordinator. Ideally, each Task Force, through representatives from each organization, would then allocate money to each organization falling under its jurisdiction. SA Treasurer Fred Wawrzonek, who worked on the Finance Committee’s budget, objected to the allocation procedure. Wawrzonek said it was unreasonable to assume that one organization would vote to give money to another organization when they themselves were interested in securing more money. Jiusto said that a grievance procedure had been set up so that any organization, if it believed that it did not receive a fair amount of money from the Task Force, would be able to present its case to either the SA Senate or Finance Committee for review. The reviewing body would arbitrate the case and render a decision on the fairness of the original allocation. Wawrzonek countered Jiusto by saying that the proposal was illegal under the SA Constitution. Wawrzonek said that the Constitution expressly forbids, by any legislative body of SA, review of the budget after its passage. -David Levy Three dollars (at least) is YOURS S3 $3 For one hour of participation in a Call (9 5, M F) - the Psychology Department at 831-1386 Men and Women Welcome. $3 The Lockwood Library will reopen on schedule June 12 and the Undergraduate Library (UGL) will be moved and open for circulation 10 days ahead of schedule. Director of University Libraries, Saktidas Roy, announced Tuesday. ' Roy described the move from the Abbott Library on the Main Street campus to the new Lockwood Library at Amherst, completed Tuesday, as having gone “very well.” It took only nine working days to move the 1.1 million books from the old campus to their home in the new Lockwood Library. At present, the books are being “interpiled,” Roy said. The new Lockwood, collection will consist of the present Abbott Library books plus 300,000 books that have been stored in the Bell University’s plant on Elmwood" Avenue. The two collections must be integrated before the library can be opened for circulation. The UGL closed its doors June 7 so the move of the books could begin. The move was originally • Psychology Experiment • Libraries move on schedule scheduled to take place June 16-19 but Roy said the date was moved up because the Lockwood shift had gone better than expected and the movers were available to begin the UGL transfer. Appointment necessary According to Lockwood librarian Madeline Stern, the reading material was moved by a (ofct of 60 movers, 12 moving supervisors and 54 librarians. The librarians were present primarily to make sure that the books were delivered to the correct floors and locations. Cost to the University for the Lockwood portion of the book shift has been estimated at a “little over $100,000,” according to Vice-President for Facilities Planning John Neal. Hivofflce had originally estimated the move as costing twice as much but the move “just went really well for us,” said Nea|. The proposed move of the Poetry Collection, ryow housed in the Abbott Library, to the fohrth floor of Capen Hall on the Amherst Campus, has been tentatively scheduled for the end of the summer, said Roy. The transfer has been delayed since April because of water leakage problems in the Capen Hall roof. Until that move is made, students wishing to use the Poetry Collection will have to call Abbott Library and make an appointment with the librarians on duty before they can be admitted to the building. Rpy blamed the procedure on staff reductions which mandate that only fbur librarians are available to oversee the collection. Abbott library, now dark and empty except for the Poetry Collection, will become the new Health Sciences Library before the end. of the summer. The Science and Engineering Library will be moved to the second and third floors of Capen during the last week of August. Departments using the Main Street Campus for classes will be allowed to retain their library collections in the Science and Engineering Library.

Nagarajan Graduate Student Association To be very blunt, the UB College Council needs counseling. We find it not only laughably absurd, but somewhat frightening, that the Council would consider the simple reading of 50 variously abusive letters from the supporters of University President Robert L. Ketter an "investigation." No less amusing is that the Council which actually has some official functions on this campus would base its unanimous vote of confidence in Ketter on these "unsolicited" letters. To even pretend that the simple receipt of letters lauding Ketter constitutes any kind of official inquiry is comical enough. But a quick scanning of the letters received truly plunges the whole affair into the realm of inanity. Many of the letter writers chose to portray The Spectrum editors and the student government leaders as, among other things: communists; anarchists; boys and girls who became "restless" in the spring; resentful children looking for an authority figure to topple; radical anachronisms trying to recapture the turbulent sixties; cowards; and generally, a handful of dissidents who in no way represent the students or know the facts. The Council, sagely eying this "input," thought long and hard, and decided that no, the allegations against Ketter are not substantive, and yes. Bob deserves our wholehearted support. Result a stirring vote of confidence. At the very least, the Council deserves the John Dean Memorial Trophy for complete and objective inquiry into the charges against Ketter. Npt since Mr. Dean unknowingly "investigated" Watergate have we seen such exhaustive research. Few of the letter writers even attempted to deal with the issue of tack of leadership, eroding administrative support and the abrasive, counter-productive style of President Ketter. Even fewer seemed to realize that the vast majority of the indictments against Ketter come from his own men, not students. Thus, the "bombs-away" attacks on the intellect, motives and maturity of students which included some rather humorous references to McCarthy and Goebbels are sadly misplaced. It was not the students who actively investigated the removal of Ketter behind his back. It was not students who feared for tfiier jobs, not to mention their reputations, should they speak out against Ketter. It was not the students who painted the president as an administrative tyrant. No, the real sting in the whole Ketter controversy comes straight from the acrid air of Capen Hall. Students were simply vehicles for the public emergence of the dissatisfaction. Admittedly, they made their own mistakes. Students did not gather all the facts either, and have some credibility problems to boot. But the students' attempt at backing up their claims is infinitely more valorous than the Council's phoney "investigation" and the near-hysterical assaults on students by most of the 50 or so Ketter supporters. We have stopped chuckling over the letters. It is now time to start wondering about the UB College Council's role at this University. Can we at this time in our history risk the existence of such a body? - — — « — — * — — The Spectrum Vol. 29. No. f Friday, 9 June 1978 The UB Council on its May 19th meeting adopted a statement which in part said: "... The allegations concerning Dr. Ketter, in the report submitted by the student government representative, have been carefully reviewed. After considering all the material and on reflection we conclude that Dr. Ketter has earned the confidence and support of this Council.” The Council referred to the innumerable letters of support it had received on behalf of the president. After carefully reviewing the Council minutes and the various letters of support the Council received, I have come to the conclusion that the Council merpbers in particular, as well as most, if not, all of those who have written letters of support have not informed themselves of the issues that prompted the Graduate Student Association to express its dissatisfaction with the president. Realizing this even earlier, 1 had asked the Council for an opportunity to present the views of the Graduate Student Association, but was denied the same “the Council has heard enough from the students.” The letters of support received by the Council , can be put under few categories: a) those that assert that what students have to say are innuendos or nebulous charges; if repetetive assertion can make something into an objective fact, then this would have become one; b) those who search for conspiracies, hidden motives behind the present situation and who have not hesitated to viciously attack the students. The University community can see for itself how they fit into the concept of “scholarly atmosphere” and “critical attitude” that they feel students have - stepped out of; c) those who question the very legitimacy of the student governments to represent students; d) those rare letters to which i give credence which acknowledge the existence of problems and difficulties while arguing that it is unfair to hold the president responsible for the same. Let me briefly deal with these different themes the letters have raised. Have students resorted innuendos and baseless to charges? There are basically two broad issues that have been raised. One is concerned with the extent of student involvement in the decision making processes, largely confined to various academic policy issues. The totality of what GSA has raised as well as part of what SA has raised fall under this category. The other, is concerned with the nature of administrative functioning. This forms the remaining part of what SA has raised. While 1 believe both are legitimate and serious issues, for the present I will confine myself to what GSA has raised in order to answer the question posed. recommendations are not expected to be acted upon. And sometime back when I enquired the chairperson of another department concerning what he has done about one -of the recommendations made about five years back, all he did was to accuse me of breach of confidentiality! It didn’t matter that the recommendation remained ignored. Would the administration present a summary of the recommendations the various review committees have made since 1969 and what steps it has taken to act on them. Maybe we can decide then whether this is another innuendo or not? V) GSA has maintained that the students have not been involved in developing the preliminary draft of the academic plan. Is this a fact or fiction? The scope of changes that are possible through a response to the academic plan is very limited compared to that possible by participating in the development of the preliminary draft itself. VI) GSA has expressed dissatisfaction with the implementation of the affirmative action program, in particular as applied to graduate students. Is this too another innuendo? The president himself has acknowledged this problem. If someone chooses to disagree with the kind of role we seek for students such as above, I can understand, appreciate and respect their views while expressing disagreement with them. This is what we have repeatedly done with the President himself. However, they don’t become innuendos and baseless charges merely by being called so by some. As for those searching for conspiracies and hidden motives, and for those bringing in Goebbels, McCarthy and such others into the present discussions, I can only say that it will indeed be a sad day when the University ceases to distinguish and recognize honest criticisms and disagreements from the rest. Do the student governments have any right to represent students? To those who raise such a question, I say that if any of them believe that such a right does not exist, there are fairly simple procedures to challenge the very existence of the student governments themselves or of their elected officials.

On Broadway one has his pick of dozens of shows to see, but 3? this University, only a handful of productions are presented each year. Panic Theatre, a group which performed semi-annually here, is now defunct, torn apart by mismanagement. To fill the void left by Panic Theatre’s collapse, a new group has emerged The New Musical Theatre troupe — (NMTT). According to ,club Treasurer Barry Ort, the major goals of the "not only to provide the with community entertainment and quality theatrical performances, but also to provide its members with a chance to develop themselves in all aspects of theater.” Ort and chit) President Randi Bassow plan to set up a series of workshops in which NMTT members will learn the subtly skills that go into producing a show. Guest lecturers will be sought to teach techniques such as lighting, set design, makeup and costuming. “We’re shifting the focus so that the shows we put on are a product of our work and not the goal of our work," Ort explained. Story theater Aside from major shows, Ort would like to presentmany minor productions. "One act plays come off well, cost little and can be performed once every six weeks,” he said. B \ ■ The troupe will perform not for University the but for population, the community at large. There will be a story theater performed for local elementary schools, one-act mysteries and musicals for senior citizens, and imprvovisational performances for bars and coffeehouses. Plans also Include the creation of a costume library with outfits from different eras to be designed and collected for future use. Ort was hopeful that a fashion show from that library could prove to be a good fund raiser. mi I *jd /' ■» tBI only Money misery Money is a' serious problem for the new-born club. Their budget request of $2400 from the Student Association (SA) was, at first, trimmed extensively and finally denied completely. Ort felt that the denial of funds from stemmed a misunderstanding.

Rising from the ashes of Panic Theatre, the "New Musical Theatre Troupe thought NMTT wanted enough “The fact that we don't have a money for at least one show, and budget w«Jft’t stop me,” that if they couldn’t have it, they commented Ort.

Springsteen concert shows that hype’s no fluke He has survived the trends of punk rock, power pop and Warren Zevon by Dimitri Papadopoulos opening numbers which were, perhaps, non-descript because of their novelty. During one pause in the action Springsteen offered other reasons; l busted my mike, busted my pants, I’m falling apart.” But this shadow of doubt lasted for, a mere second because, as we all know, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Springsteen, who is one tough fella, really got going; spewing forth one resonating street cry after another, cries which of this year’s other models could never understand. Springsteen’s performance was undeniably aided by sax player and major mojo worker Clarence Clemmons. Breaking the ice, Clairence raced up to the edge of the stage bellowing some of the hottest chicken squacking sourids to emerge from a wind instrument since King Curtis. Looking like a thick chunk of Caribbean bamboo and dressed in his regimental flowered shirt and white suit, Clemmon’s semi-squat stance brought on the first intense and hysterical wave offemale appreciation. Bruce, not to be outdone, compared equally with a stunning series of choreographed pilgrimages which aped sneaker clad street motions. His most engulfing moment came in the middle of “For You," when a spotlight captured Springsteen in an over-the-shoulder angle that highlighted his physiognomy in a dramatic James Dean-like mode. Bruce's fantastic body language taunted the all-stops-pulled music of the E Street Band. Springsteen would jump in the air to stop a song and land in a split to rekindle the evening’s tempestous energy. Catches and hooks such as these gave the music a varied and !, Though his music will always remain submerged in the gqtty and rural scenarios of his adolescence, a subject which is at times both personal and universal, Bruce Springsteen has clearly risen to the upper crest of the rock star world. What this infers is that if and when the boss’s attention span begins to slide, he can begin to coast. It’s been the amazing time span of three years since Bruce’s last album, the notorious, ever-popular Bom To Run first invaded the airwaves where it remained a consistent choice and a constant reminder of this street king’s prolific talehl£“lt was also during this period that his touring schedule had fallen into a similar abyss. Despite these handicaps, Springsteen has survived a continuing series of developing trends, including punk rock, power pop and other such one night wonders as Warren Zevon and Eddie Falcon’s Burning Rose, and has managed to keep abreast of the gone tomorrow promotion policy nearly star today ail the major record companies have undertaken. It doesn’t seem likely that Bruce Springsteen will fade into a jaded leisure-life in the near future. Certainly his recent performance here at the Shea’s Buffalo Theatre a concert which debuted his return to touring was no indication. Armed with a mass of steaming Asbury Park toned tracks, Springsteen set to prove that the hype attached to his each and every move was no fluke. If there was i moment of doubt it came with the - — — suspensful magic, a magic that entranced the audience through two sets of past, and future favorites. "Thunder In the Night,” “She’s The One," and Road," “Born To Run” surrounded such, novices and cover songs as “Fire," “Mona,” "Badlands,” “Racing In The and "Raised on Cain” an incredible number unexpected proficiency in which fronted an Springsteerl’s guitar playing and continued to shroud second guitarist Miami Steve's legacy. Each urged the audience into incredible tantrums. — As far as sold out crowds and audience worship go to qualify a successful concert, Bruce Springsteen’s return to the concert hall was as ultimate an achievement as possible for a person who hasn’t recorded in three years and had little to go on except past accomplishments. Unlike Springsteen’s past effort, my one grievance is that many of his new songs appeared tuneless, unmelodic and totally similar to his older motorhead rhapsodies. I must admit that this is a minority criticism, still, I can’t retain that at times I thought the performance grating. However, the majority of fans that evening saw the proceedings differently, taking to heart each of the new concrete escapades in Springsteen’s continually evolving search for a better way to pump gasoline. Hopefully, listening to Springsteen’s new album Darkness on the Edge of Town will cancel the negative reservations I have of this artist. With so many artists becoming easily persuaded to juxtapose redundant meanderings for true artistic development, one can’t help but feel cautious. *, ■ ;.ss �Phaedrus Voice of the Sun Editor's Note: The annual change In command at The Spectrum has brought a new position Prodigal Sun Editor.

( _ Cheap (Epic) Trick, Heaven Tonight It’s late, early this morning; I am rushing to write this review. But that’s good the words flow like certain body juices. Cheap Trick’s music runs into the juices. well, maybe An indefinable symbolic BAM erupts. Sort of a pinball rush. - — Trick Cheap has no real politics; no stand except for love as sex as the music scene. Simply contrived and making the best of echoing their rock roots surroundings, they are one of the more honest power rock bands, by new design, to explode with the record incredible, Heaven Tonight. .Certainly, Heaven Tonight isn’t as witty lyrically as Oieap Trick and In Color. The problem further is that I fear for leader Rick Nielsen’s genius selling out with the next Ip; the band has most assuredly taken a step towards harder rock without supportive power lyrics on a few songs like “Stiff ”High Roller”, and Competition.” By no means is the record scarred or scandalized (by Nielsen?) by the band’s distinct lack of cynicism. Fact is that “California Man”, "Auf Wiedersehen” and "How Are You?” are more than pulverizing pastiches of rock's glibness. They are classic Cheap Trick, satirical and sardonic, especially in “Surrender.” , Sun Dial June 9 June 9 June 9 June 10 10 & 11 & June 10 June 11 June 13 June 20 June 23 June 23-25 July 4 July 16 Scarlet Riveria, Belle Starr Jumpers/Viletones/Mods, The Horseshoe (Toronto) Steve Kuhn w/ Miroslav Vitous, Tralfamadore Cafe Erie-Lackawanna Railroad, Snyder’s Darien Lake Genesis/Brand X, Exhibition Stadium, Toronto The Earl Scruggs Revue, Belle Starr Starcastle, After Dark Alice Cooper, Memorial Auditorium Ted Nugent, Memorial Auditorium Mariposa Folk Festival The Rolling Stones, Rich Stadium Crosby, Stills & Nash, Memorial Auditorium Then / woke up, Mom and Dad Are rolling on the couch Rolling number, rock and rolling Got my kiss records out. RICH STADIUM JULY 4 GEN PRESENTS, HARVE' WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM Q-FM-97 My argument forseeing a possible artistic decline of the band may well be based on dribbling paranoia. Cheap Trick Is trying something different with the typicality of "On The Radio” and the banality of “Stiff Competition"; they are appealing to the masses; now they broaden their horizon, now permitting lead singer Robin Zander to write and play guitar. Cheap Trick feels out the market. There is no doubt the gathering has won ... mass appeal. But they sacrifice creativity. What Heaven Tonight does reflect is a feeling of solipsism on Nielsen’s part. He thinks of the audience as a hing imaginary? No, no, no, he must be loo smart for such dreaming. He and the band push for a formula, sometimes with wit. It's half for youngsters and half deeper, proscy, pop literary. Are they tricking me into writing this? What do they expect? Or you? Something tawdry. I see it now in Heaven Tonight No matter, I love Cheap Trick. Harold Goldberg — Tickets $12.50 In adv., $15.00 day of show.

A special meeting of the Board of Directors will be held on June 13 to deal with the future of mandatory health insurance. At the last meeting, the Board that it was d ecided philosophically —-Jenson Members of the North Buffalo Food Co-op voted nearly unanimously on Wednesday night to 90 ahead with plans to buy the building adjacent to the Marine Midland Bank on Main Street and to relocate there this summer. A formal bid was placed yesterday and members feel confident it will be accepted by the building’s present owners. The end of next week it expected to mark the beginning of a mass effort to transport the Co-op from its present site at Main and Winspear to the former George’s Furniture Sfbre building, two blocks away at'3121 Main Street. "We have the money, the energy, and we're going to buy the building," commented one Co-op spokesperson after the Wednesday meeting. Under debate had been the option of renting the former Waterbrothers' storefront in the Granada Theater building. Serious talk most recently had centered around renting the two vacant storefronts around the corner from the theater in the Granada on West Northrup. A wall of the former Play It Again, Sam used record outlet would have had to be knocked out to create a single storefront. Members had voted in favor of this last option on Sunday, a decision building overturned Wednesday night. The new location on Main Street is approximately twice the size of the present Co-op. concept of insurance. Due to opposed to the mandatory health Executive Director Tom Van Nortwick, Dennis Black was appointed to the position. Black resigned as Treasurer of the student corporation with Mike Volan, now serving as Vife and Secretary, Chairman becoming the new Treasurer. Scott Jiusto was elected Vice-Chairman and Secretary of Sub-Board. New Division Directors and personnel divisional were approved by the full board. - Budget hearings will be held between Monday, July 24 until — the resignation of Friday, August 4. SUNY motto change Progress paves way in three-fold mission To Learn To Search To Serve. j* The new motto for the State University of New York was designed to accentuate the changing role of research in the SUNY system, according to Harry Charlton, SUNY Communications Officer. The slogan will go into effect September 1, 1978, he said. “SUNY in 1948 had little research emphasis/’ Charlton commented. With the increase of research-oreinted faculty and the development of programs, the role of the State University has changed, he said. The motto now reflects the three-fold mission of the University education, research and public service, he remarked. The former motto “Let Each Become All He Ic Capable of Being,” focused on the entire student, reflecting a concern for total well-being. Charlton said the change from the “Each . . .” motto does not relate to the competitive admission policy of the SUNY schools “In the University system, there is a place for every qualified student," he remarked. One University spokesman commented, “I think the change, in part, was due to the ‘He’ in the old motto -r sexism.” With the increasing emphasis on androgyny, especially in vocabulary, it was felt that “He” would no longer be appropriate, he said. The University seal will be redesigned to. include the new notto. Charlton said, “It will be changed, if not completely revised. I hope the new seal will be more contemporary a newer style.” ” - - — from home a home WHERE THE WELL EDUCATED DRINKERS MEET Our Specialty BEEF ON WECK — Wed. & Sundays HOT DOG w/Kraut — The doctor doesn’t cut out anything.

The Spectrum Page nine . �more oint just by Mark MelUer Nine years after the departure of the International League’s Buffalo Bisons, the Queen City has a touch of baseball fever. Mayor Jimes Griffin has been investigating the possibility of Buffalo acquiring a major league baseball franchise. The mayor has made these overtures, curiously enough, just as the National Basketball Association (NBA) Buffalo Braves prepare to take their act elsewhere, presumably to Dallas, Texas. It appears that Griffin, afraid the city of Buffalo will suffer a great loss of prestige with the Braves' exit, is trying to replace hoops with bases. For Buffalo to attract a baseball franchise, Griffin would have to overdome some serious obstacles, including the lack of a suitable home for the team. The best existing site would appear to be War Memorial Stadium, an obsolete structure located in the Cold Springs area, of the city, about seven miles from downtown. The stadium, which has a seating capacity of 40,000, was buUt in 1938, making it older than 21 of the 26 major league ballparks. With the cost of renovation estimated at $10 million, there are many who feel it would be better to build a new park. A new park, however, would take years to build and the bill might approach $100 million. Only for football That Rich Stadium, built only six years ago, was designed exclusively for football, is an example of incredibly poor planning. And consider this: what does Buffalo have to offer that might induce the Lords of Baseball to bring a franchise here. It snows in April and May, rains throughout August and September, and the existing ballpark is below minor league stai^gds. With the wildly enthusiastic fans in Denver anxiously awaiting a team, the Superdome standing vacant in New Orleans and Congressmen in Washington. ti.C. threatening to revoke baseball’s exemption from antitrust laws if that city isn’t granted a team, Buffalo is at the end of a long line. Now that the San Francisco Giants are filling up Candlestick Park again, the Oakland A’s and the Atlanta Braves are the only teams likely to move anywhere. The A’s have all but bought plane tickets to Denver and if the Braves move, they would probably go to New Orleans. With virtually no hope of getting an established team, Buffalo will have to wait for another expansion. Need a dome If, by some miracle, Buffalo were granted a team and renovated War Memorial stadium sufficiently to accommodate the team, it would still have to overcome the drenching weather. The UB Baseball Bulls, plagued by torrential rains, played only eight games last fall. A domed stadium would ease the problem, yet this is a town where indoor basketball games are cancelled because of bad weather. How many brave souls would go out in the rain to watch an expansion club play? In addition, by failing to support either the Braves or the NFL BilR, the people of Buffalo have raised serious doubts about their willingness to support medicore teams. The Sabres, who rank among the National Hockey Leagues finest teams, are currently the only Buffalo team that draws well. If the impending collapse of the Niagara Falls Pirates of the New York-Pfenn League (Class A) is any indication of baseball’s drawing power here, the baseball owners will avoid a big headache if they and chalk up politely brush off Mayor Griffin Buffalo as a city that tried but failed. - MFCSA PICNIC Sunday June 11th -11 am to dusk - (Raindate: June 18th) at Ellicott Picnic Area 1 (by the tennis courts) New UB basketball coach Hughes takes control as Bulls’ new coach Bill Hughes, former head basketball coach at Fredonia State College, will take over as mentor of the men’s basketball team on August 30. Hughes, coach af Fredonia for the last ten years, will replace Leo Richardson, whose contract was not renewed this year. Hughes will also work as an assistant professor in the department of Recreation, Athletics and Related Instruction. Hughes, 42, was chosen from a field of SS candidates, which was later narrowed down to five. Hughes received the appointment after the top candidate, Clarion’s Norb Basehnagel, withdrew his name for consideration. Basehnagel was turned off by the limited two year contract. Hughes’ teams compiled a 121-105 record in their seven winning and three losing seasons at Fredonia. The Blue Devils were ranked among the top ten Division HI teams in New York five of the last six years and won national defensive titles in 1970, 1973 and 1974. Last season, Fredonia equalled the school records for wins with a 15-9 record. At Fredonia, Hughes was noted for using a slow, controlled style offense the Hughes stall-ball. But the Dallas, Texas native insists that he will pick an offense to suit his team, not vice-versa, “I reserve the right to choose the system of play that will give my players the best chance to win,” he said. Hughes began his career as a high school coach in Illinois after graduating from Central College in McPherson, Kansas. He was appointed head coach at Roberts Wesleyan College in 1961 and later became the Director of Athletics there. He moved to Fredonia in 1967 and also spent a year as an assistant coach at the University of Florida while on sabbatical. Hughes will be handicapped this year by his late recruiting start. Although he plans to go on a recruiting trip this week, he is realistic about his prospects. “I’m trying to salvage what I can,” he said. He expects ter pick up two or three new players for the Buffalo squad. The new coach has never seen the Bulls play, but just by looking at the statistics, he’ll find that Buffalo lost its three top scorers to graduation (Sam Pellom, Larry Jones and Ed Johnson). “Our losses have been significant,” he said. “We lost 70% of our offense.” The committee which selected Hughes was headed by hockey coach Ed Wright and also included the Director of Instruction, Viola Diebold and the Director of Men’s Athletics Ed Muto. - A BARGAIN BOOKOl and it't new in the UNIVERSITY (next to the Amherst Theatre) PL Browsers Welcome See our fine selection of Hardcovers, Art Prints, — FREE FOOD Magazines & Paperbacks SAVINGS UP TO 85% OFF ORIGINAL PUBLISHERS LIST PRICE HOURS Monday 10-9 Tuesday 10 6 Wednesday 10-6 Thursday 10 9 - Bring Paperbacks in receive X original price in trajfe toward other used paperbacks. — • Friday 10 Saturday 9 10 7 - - jRip off our BEER SODA j jWings&Ribsj Buy one single order of wings or ribs and, get |. the second one Free.

After over three months of detailed communication between University officials and the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), District Director Benedict Ferro, the threat of a ban surfaced on April 29. The dispute can be traced back to University President Robert Ketter’s refusal to open all foreign student files to INS ) V investigatorst , This brought Ferro into the fray. He told the University that the files were requested to determine if some foreign students fraudulently claimed they had the financial resources to support themselves while a requirement for obtaining a attending school in this country student visa. Ferro also claimed that INS investigators wanted to compare the names of foreign students for whom tuition has been waived withsdocuments detailing their financial resourses.. ,., - • y Despite INS’ explanation, Kettcr seeking to protect the privacy rights of the students refused to release the files unless a subpoena was issued. Various legal sources commended the President’s action, - - according to Assistant President Ron Stein. Lawyers also explained to Stein that, although the students had. signed a release for such the University through local policy decision has the information authority to e?ant inspection privileges. Foreign Student Advisor Williams expressed skepticism over INS’ motives in requesting the; files. Upon acceptance to this University, Williams said, a foreign student must detail his financial sources to show he is self-sopporting.

He explained that students who have approached him have “expressed no undue alarm; more puzzlement.” The advisor said he doesn’t anticipate that the ban will be imposed. “Students come to me wanting clarification on the matter,” Williams observed, citing the absence of “any unwanted hysteria.” , �Smoking survey *The Spectrum gets the dope on marijtmna 9 About 46 percent of students questioned in a recent survey conducted by The Spectrum smoke pot once a week or more.

Van Nortwick leaves to take a position with WBEN Radio as business manager. Sub-Board’s Board of Directors will meet on May 18 to discuss a replacement for Van Nortwick, in the interim. Sub Board Treasurer Dennis Black will take over his duties. Van Nortwick, in a letter to the board, appointed Black as “Assistant to the Executive Director of Sub-Board,” with all “authority and responsibility of the Executive Director position.” Although he lamented Van NortWock’s decision to resign, Black said that he saw the resignation, “as a good opportunity to examine our administrative needs.” Black noted that the Student Association (SA) Financial Committee has recommended a $5000 *4* cut in its allocation to Sub-Board this year. The budget cutback is forcing Sub-Board to “take a look at it’s expenses, including our administrative ones,” said Black. The alternatives facing the Board ofDirectors are: hiring a new executive director; abolishing the position and have the Sub-Board Executive Committee assume the responsibilities; expanding the role of someone presently employed by Sub-Board and giving that person financial responsibility; employing a part-time Executive Director; or initiating a study of the position to be completed by the end ofthe slimmer. Black said that Van Nortwick will continue to help Sub-Board set up the corporation’s' computer controlled accounting procedures. Van Nortwick will also be available in the fall to help interview prospective candidates if the Board of Directors decides to hire a new Executive Director. swJti PAUL- CRAIG KELLAS AVA SAITZMAN BOB SASlMMas b*» MflRK WEINBERG BOB BAROTV BflRRV vRUBIN HSfWMARK RUSSELL JM PAUL Baste JMES BLUE &Ssft» te&r) llKE BIN IS • • Muk b, MWMKI HflMUStMi* JOHN MW ( I «■ i " ' 1 " 1 ■ n • - AFTER THE FILM — ' ' • - • . „ • ■ TEHNICOMf —“^ a cin i n Special Guest Appearance By 1 he • „ ""TeButtons” Group -'Of- Friday, 12 May 1978 The Spectrum Page three . . �Relocating in summer • ; S?it-in...

The theater was formerly owned by Micheal Theater of Long island, a pornographic theater chain, but was confiscated by the city due to mounting unpaid property taxes and other debts. The Common Council voted last January to give title of the theater to Lawrence Matter, a local attorney, but could not finalize the deal because of a daim against property contained within the theater. The claim was recently settled and formal transfer of title is expected to take place soon.

Most tenured mnilly members ale profession. Professor Special to The Spectrum - Criticism of the tenure system has apparently been rekindled, to' The Chronicle of Higher Education, by-' some controversial legislation recently passed by President Carter. The minimum mandatory retirement age for most worken has been raised from 65 to 70. Critics say that this gives tenured professors top much job security and merely aids in maintaining the existing academic job market, which is poor. However, since the new law is not likely to change, many are re-examining tenure to see if it should change. At this the University, minimum mandatory retirement age has been at 70 for many years. A sample survey of faculty revealed that regardless of the retirement age, tenure is still well thought of, and necessary to the Assistant by Harold Goldberg or another teachers should not be any different.. Without tenure you could forget about academic freedom.” One doctoral candidate in theSchool of Management said that while security is necessary, it can make on lazy, “Without it we would be unable to enter long-range research projects,” he said, “but it can potentially turn a University into a fancy nursery home.” Admitting that the present system is not stimulating as it is, he added that any system still depends on the individuals in it. When asked what improvements could be made, he suggested tenure on a progressive basis. This would add competition to the job situation and still guarantee security during old age until retirement. and Registered Occupational Therapist Elizabeth C. Lawn argues that tenure is extremely important, not only as a safeguard for hard workers, but because it gives the teacher the opportunity to work toward the future, devoting his time to his profession, rather than to searching for another job. “Moving every six years is bad for morale as well as productivity,” said Lawn. She related the story of pne teacher who, after 40 years in the profession, was fired at age 64 because of old age. She was Kft both without a pension and without a means of livelihood. “If you’re fired, it’s hard to find another job; there are not many other things a teacher can turn tp,” said Lawtf: "&|sid#8, tbere are very few years past tne'-age of productivity in comparison to the many put in before.” guaranteed e s sen tially employment until they retire, and administrators, are beginning to worry that once they grant tenure, they will be committed to that person until death.

By now, everyone who cares knows former progressive rock station WBUF, renamed B-93, has radically changed its format. What people don’t know is some of the crap that transpired when people were terminated from the radio station. Of course, there is an aura of fear surrounding the new station a rather typical thing which happens to the personnel of many radio stations when new owners take over. People fear for their jobs. But the fact that Robert Liggett lied to every media person in the Buffalo area last year mbs every progressive rock fan the wrong way. About a year ago, he stated he would not change the endearing, enchanting, innovative BUF format. He and his cronies changed the station to nearly a WPHD type hype format and right up to the mpment of the change no one really knew what would occur. People at the station, with the spineless union it has, were legitimately fearful. The union never could negotiate a contract with then station owner At Wertheimer. - Lies? The new management at' the in particular station, Grant Santimore the Station Manager, is very nice, even sanctimonious, on the surface. Santimore doesn’t think the format has “changed that much at all.” He also gives rather mechanical answers to pointed questions. Why didn’t you answer phones into the studio for the first few days of the format ■’ change? “Well, we were tightening our formaW’ replied Santimore. Walt orte'of the reasons you didn’t let the personalities answer the request phones because you were trying to protect the DJ’s from,abusive listeners? “That had nothing to do with it. We were merely trying to tighten our format.” All the jocks spoken to at the station had different ideas. They thought the off-limits phone, idea was to protect them from direct irate listener abuse for the format ■ change. -j One employee ? rather'- S&isg r untied who W still at the 3 Blue Berets: newest A weapon againstifterrorism v station called the Liggett crew ‘‘bad businessmen.” The employee pointed out that “they did not even look at the latest ratings books before they made the change>And that was dumb.” The employee said the only Liggett people books the inspected were ratings when Cal Brady was Program Director at the station. Skip Edmunds assumed the position a few months ago; he made significant change: in the station’s format, making it less progressive, trying to broaden the audience base. Was Edmunds upset that die new owners didn’t look at what he’d done ratings-wise before they changed his programming? “What they want to do is their prerogative, it’s their station,” he commented. Edmunds likes what he’s doing, but prefers working with an intellectual audience that is smaller and more loyal. He means he’d rather be doing . , Past and future But because WBUF is so small, disc because it has attracted jockeys who are. beginners, because people are so attracted to the words “progressive rock,” there will always be behind the scenes “shit” happening, and progressive rock fans will always be trying to stick their nqses into the private goings on of a radio a station.

Former BUF man Phil Chordas knew what he had to do; he lined up a job with Amherst records by playing the hell out of the Buffalo based Spyro-Gyra’s new album.

As that would be unreasonable and probably boring, I will write in broader terms, terms to which normal students can relate. The quality of a class depends on you and the teacher, and on the content. The quality of a newspaper depends on many people interacting simultaneously from the first phone call to the drive to the printers. The content is ours to invent and shape. Such a thing as objective journalism is "available only in limited editions" albeit that front page news is often the tame in different pepert. So, whose side do we take? Who it r&it and who it wrong? Who makes sense and who is telling the truth? Are students always right, is the left always right, does anybody really know what time it it? Does anybody really care? Just how do we students fit in to progressive social And political awareness? So we should ask, without being asked. Obviously, some students fit in and are more aware than others. But how much of that awareness is applied within the University context, how much of it will apply in the very near future of occupational hazards, and how much of it will always remain in some people mere curiosity, something to rediscover time, and again on television and in an occasional feature „ story? _ _ ., ; Does a student consensus exikt today on any issue from the smallest negligence by the University to the New York Yankees to nuclear disarmament to the death of Aldo Morb? 1 think not. We have retreated into an age where the most enduring crises are personal ones. And though we do share similar personal crises, the minute we leave the sanctity of our homes, bur bars, or our telephones, the unspeakable is filled by silence or betise. And so, there is tittle call for a feeling of oneness, and so, so much is not expressed in our repetoire of daily conversation. A sphere of interaction is missing and no one can truly suggest how to create one, many people and issues are going unheeded in'their efforts to do so. Such should be the function of this newspaper, for no other publication or printed work reaches as many people on this campus as it does. »'■ i »,,■ But I try to be a philosopher; sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

The memo was precipitated by an error in an article in The Spectrum Wednesday. The article incorrectly stated that the School had been placed on probation by an accrediting body. The Spectrum apologizes to Dean Alutto and all others concerned for this grave error. number of students have expressed considerable concern about the possibility of a loss of accreditation for management programs at SUNY Buffalo. 1 can state unequivocally that this will not occur. r. As general background, the School of Management has had its undergraduate program accredited since the late 1930s, and its MBA program was accredited in 1971. The national accrediting agency, the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business, noted in its 1971 review that the part-time evening Millard Fillmore College program was deficient in the number of full-time and doctorally qualified instructors available to students. For accreditation purposes, even though this program was not budgetarily controlled by the School of Management, its operation affected the review of all regular programs. 4n our 1976 five year review, while some progress was seen, the continuing accreditation committee observed that MFC was still clearly below AACSB staffing standards. Furthermore, due to enrollment pressures and limited faculty resources, our regular A - t undergraduate and MBA programs, while still considerably above standards, had increased the student workload per faculty member. Thus, the School was asked to submit a plan for immediate correction of these difficulties, particularly MFC, or programs. face- probationary status for all (Probationary status means continued accreditation for a less than five year period as well as the monitored implementation of a plan to remedy deficiencies). As a result of enrollment reductions and the addition of five new lines for MFC instructional purposes, as of September 1976 the School will be well above accreditation in standards all its programs, including MFC. Consequently, upon the reporting of enrollment and staffing data in September, program accreditation will be continued with no interruption or assigning of probationary status. Accreditation has been an issue of uncertainty and intense interest for students, faculty and staff. 1 can assure you that we will continue the progress that has led to our School’s ranking in MBA as one of the best graduate programs in the Northeast and inclusion in the 1977 Cart ter study as one of the top thirty schools of management in the country. Continued accreditation is simply one part of our many efforts to improve the quality of programs and the successful career placement of graduates. If you wish any further information on the accreditation process, please contact Arlene Bergwall, Crosby R-151.

After reading the article on DES in the May 5 issue of The Spectrum, I was disappointed to note the omission of any consultation with the staff of the Gynecology Clinic at Roswell Park Memorial Institute. The clinic has established a program to screen women who might have been exposed to DES ir. utero. Every six months, the woman is given a thorough examination by a gynecologist well-trained in the use of the colposcope. Initially, a detailed medical history is taken, a pap smear, colposcopic examination, and biopsy of the vaginal tissue is performed, all of which involves no more discomfort tnan a regular gynecological checkup. Upon revisits, additional medical information is requested pertaining to any changes in patient’s lifestyle or medical history. The pap smear and colposcopy is made at each visit but the biopsy is usually omitted unless the doctor feels the visual examination warrants a more detailed investigation. The cost of this program can vary depending on the individual’s personal medical insurance. However, since the program is funded by a grant to investigate the incidence of cancer in women exposed to DES, the doctor’s services are a covered expense and are not charged to the patient. Usually, the lab fees charged are covered by Blue Cross/Blue Shield type insurance. Women who think they have been exposed to DES and are interested in this program can call 845-5855 and receive further information about making an appointment. f * £<» not have been blamed for his crimes, that “things are establishing control,” i.e., that it is hopeless to struggle sincejU.S. imperialism has the neutron bomb.

The UUAB Music Committee presented a variety of top notch acts such as Santana, Jean Luc-Ponty, Aztec Two-Step, Patti Smith and Robert Klein. Though the quality of the music doesn’t leave me dissatisfied, the way in which some of the concerts were run does. The concerts held on campus were consistently late in starting, forcing people to wait outside the gym to experience the congeniality of the Buffalo weather. Keeping warm was no problem once inside, the place was sure to be oversold. Why this had to be was the question asked by most music committee members. Rich Saltus, the dictator-like chairman of the music committee, consistently found it necessary to oversell the concerts. Having record attendance was more important to him than the welfare of the students. The attitude of “fuck the students, this is a business” should not be adopted by the chairman of a committee funded by student fees. At concerts such as Aztec Two-Step, Jean Luc-Ponty, Robert Klein and the Folk Festival paying concert goers felt the crush caused by Rich’s * ' ' ' .. - , ' The dishonesty and shiftiness of the Music Committee Chairman is exemplified with his dealings with The Pointless Brothers, a local Bluegrass band. Rich asked the band to be the opening act for Aztec Two-Step, two days before the show Rich told the band to forget it. As for the contract; ha, ha, ha. Apparently Rich was asked by the local promoters, Harvey and Corky, to put on the group Fat Chance instead. Whether The Pointless Brothers would have been a better choice isn’t the point at hand. The personal fgvors for other promoters for personal gain is the point. The fall begins a new year of music with a new Music Committee Chairman. Hopefully next year the Committee will be run more democratically and with more consideration for the people who make it We would like to express our thanks to The Spectrum and in particular to Brett Kline for the generosity given us in our preparation for the Night of Solidarity with Vietnam. Thanks are also due to other friends, including those of TWSA and Buffalo Workers Movement and YAWP, without whom the event would have been much less a success. We would like to use this opportunity to thank again the nearly 400 people who were there Friday night and apologize for the slight inconveniences at the beginning of the program. It is important that the history of what happened in Vietnam be remembered. A similar but more extended program is planned for the Fall semester. We hope to see you then.

Fair enough, up to a point. But, if carried too far, such reasoning becomes circular and self-destructive. It exempts both the people and their representatives from the responsibility of using -their minds, indeed from the responsibility of collaborating-in the democratic process. )t means the elevation (or lowering) of the presidency to a kind of magical dictatorship, where everything is the President’s responsibility.

IRCB apologies To the Editor: I would like to thank the University Community for tolerating and forgiving IRCB during a turbulent 1977-78 academic year. This year we have went through an inordinate amount of personal changes. This caused our staff members to be unfamiliar with their jobs, their co-workers and .student needs. Coordination of information with advertising and our established division was all but impossible with this constant inflow and outflow of staff members. Some students mistook our ignorance and lack of coordination for high-handedness and ignoring student needs. To those students, I apologize for our lack of communication. Next year we will all have had more experience, and are looking forward to serving you. Thanks also to this year’s management staff, they helped to make smooth sailing over a very rocky period in the history of IRCB. Best of luck to Uie graduating IRCB executives; Mike Fraegol, Ron Terry, Keith Hill, Larry Repanes, Marty Staub and Ken Strub. To next year’s staff hopefully next year will be, a much more pleasant and enjoyable year. See ya’ll in August. tRCB wishes a happy and affluent summer to all. members of the University Cojnmunity. _ - " John Sundmeier Business Manager, IRCB Inc. �Fraternities on campus To the Editor. Ugly racism To the Editor: Mi.chell B. Nesenoff’s letter to The Spectrum (5/10/78) was an appalling example of the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of the Jewish Student Union (JSU). His anti-Arab diatribes are unreasoning and can only serve to foster misunderstanding and ill-will between Jews and Arabs;*- t . t . It is difficult for me to believe that Nesenoff, President of the JSU, speaks for Jhe campus Jewish community When he writes that “there is absolutely nothing that any Arab student can say that is to be believed.” This is pure and simple racism, which Jews, of all people victims for so long of damaging racist stereotypes should repudiate. As a Jew I am especially outraged at the ugly racism exhibited by the JSU President. . . - - Robby Cohen Happy Birthday Isrdel To the Editor. In his article “A Belligerent Israel,” Mr. Musellem left out important “historical facts.” He' failed to mention that when the U.N General Assembly approved the creation of a Jewish State in British Palestine in 1947, they also approved the creation of another Palestinian Arab State on the west bank of the Jordan. Thus making two Palestinian Arab states and one Jewish State in Palestine. Yes, two Palestinian States, you may have forgotten that at the end of World War I, the British rewarded East Palestine>>‘to_ a Saudia Arabian Prince named Abdullah and made him King of Trans-Jordan, to rule -Palestinians. However, Abdullah was not satisfied with this and would do anything to make a Greater Syria. On May 12, 1948, Israel proclaimed its independence and was immediately invaded by 7 Arab States. You may'ask what happened to the' Arab State on the west bank did it proclaim its independence? No, the main problem was that there were a few ambitious Arab leaders, one being the “Nazi Loving” Grand Muft of Jerusalem, who the British wanted for murder and another being Kind Abdullah of Trans-Jordan. To make a long story short, the Arab Legion, Abdullah's army, were the x best soldiers at the time in the area, having been trained by the British, armed by the British and commanded by the British. With such a force, Trans-Jordan was able to the west bank with not too much effort, 'C Mr. Musallem also did not mention that there were Jewish refugees that were “forced” to leave with most of their belongings confiscated and many were killed. Most of these refugees were resettled in Israel Israel did not force the Palestinians to leave, except in isolated incidents, but asked them to stay; even after the war the Israelis asked the Palestinians to come back and live in peace. However, the Palestinians listened to their Arab brothers, who said, leave your homes, we will push the Jews into the sea and you will have more land, the Jews did not listen and are now blamed for their problems. Also most of the land the UJN. partitioned for a Jewish' State, before its invasion by the Arabs, was “owned” by the Jews. It has been estimated that the Jews paid 20 million dollars for the land in the partitioned Jewish State; this land was malaria infested swamp land and desert. Most of the so-called “Palestinians” moved in to Palestine in the past 100 years, after the Jews started making the land workable, “rented” the land from “rich absentee landlords” who lived in Beirut, Damascus, Amman, Cairo, etc. Why didn’t the Palestinians make a homeland on the west bank during the 19 years it was Jordinian territory? Ask them! Mr. Musallem, also wants a secular democratic State of Palestine. Does he. mean like the so-called democratic Arab States that are in existence now, like Syria, a one party, one man dictatorship; Iraq, military dictatorship; Jordan, an absolute monarchy; Saudia Arabia, an absolute monarchy; Egypt, one partly, one man dictatorship; Libya, military dictatorship. Should 1 continue. Lebanon, the only Arab country with some type of democracy, has had it destroyed in recent years by the Palestinians. Genesis, Chapter One, Line 1: One last point it sayS, 'in the beginning G-d created the heaven and x earth. 31nce G-d created the earth, its his land and -he can give it to whomever he wishes. G-d choose and Isaac and Jacob to own the land of Israel and their children still have the deed to the land, even though they were exiled from their land x by force. Long Live Israel and Happy 30th Birthday. r — , ' , - Alan Bauer This year much attention has been given to the move to the North Campus. As a result 1977-78 will be remembered as the year UB moved to Amherst. So much attention has been given to the move that many smaller events have been overlooked or ignored completely. However, several of these events are just as potentially important to the University as the move to Amherst. One of these changes was the official return to campus of fraternities and sororities. Although over seven months have passed, little notice has been given to these organizations. As a result, many people on campus are still unaware of the presence or function of fraternities Qt^ororities. Most of the information people have about fraternities centers on the physical abuse of pledges during hazing. Unfortunately The Spectrum saw fit to contribute to the confusion by running a story concerning the death of a pledge to some small local fraternity located in the Southern Tier. It is unfair to assume all fraternities engage in such activities. The fact is most, if not all, fraternities at UB function under a set of guidelines which prohibits the physical abuse of pledges. Even though some people on campus know fraternities and sororities exist, few know why they exist. Many people have come to associate fraternities with beer blasts thrown by Tau Kappa Epsilon. .However it would-be a mistake to assume throwing parties is the only function of fraternities. Fof instance, at the dance marathon sororities and fraternities sponsored a total of five couples. And few people are aware of the fact Tau Kappa Epsilon plays a vital role in the blood drives on the Amherst Campus. Fraternities and sororities have also demonstrated their ability to effectively the represent the needs of students to administration. ■ t Yet despite all the possible benefits gained from participating in suchgroups, few if any people look into the possibility. Many people assume that sorority or fraternity life isn’t for them. I am sure more than a few of these people could benefit by getting involved with the community and University through one of these organizations: Unfortunately due to a lack of information, many people feel these groups don’t belong on — <• campus. However, I feel many people at UB could benefit by taking an active role in a sorority or fraternity. I think people on the Amherst Campus could particularly benefit. Many of the problems associated with the Amherst Campus «an be attributed to the separation of students from the community and each other. I am sure active sororities and fraternities will be able to offset both trends. v This year will probably be remembered because UB moved to Amherst. Hopefully, it will also be remembered as the first year fraternities and sororities returned to serve the needs of the students at UB. James Rogan Secretary, Alpha Pledge Class Tau Kappa Epsilon Lev, Rosen and Stegman To the Editor: 1 realize this letter may lose something. Lose lacks a something becuase ii lacks a continuity continuity that should be there ekgept for the reason. Jay Rosen. I avoid Jay Rosen’s bathroom ' — scrawl with the conviction of an avowed tea-totlar and I do so for reasons of preservation and self-respect. I’ve forced myself after the fact this time and somewhat later and therefore the non-flow. I was enraged. Somehow, somewhere along the line, in the darker recesses of Jay Rosen’s mind has loomed, with gargoylesque figure, a macabre rendition of political analyst. Yes Rosen the new investigative analyst giving acute insight .apd a refreshing new sense to old stale news. Jay Rosen stale reactionary. Why hail Wr. Rosen seen fit to attack one of the more plausible, respectable, enigmatic figures in the University community? Why the vicious assault on Michael Stephen Levinson or Lev as is so singularly useful to indentification? (no this is no “self-style” as The Spectruni Insists on reporting.) and finally what has twisted in Rosen’s mind to make him believe that somehow he has cultivated a group of readers that just might attribute to him the characteristic of credibility? Or might this be “self-style.” Michael Levinson is as bothersome as doors that open, he’s as meddlesome as the candy-counter in Squire Hall, and as ludicrous as Sunday breakfast. Simply stated Levinson is a part of the school he is a fact of life, he is an important integer to the academic cosmos and even more importantly he is no sycophant justifying his position with vacuous tenns and self-righteous expletives. Michael Stephen Levinson’s “Leverendum" was a constructive alternative to a bad, very bad. existing situation. Much more positive than anything that has passed from Jay Rosen’s pen. For a school administration \ - - and student government so incensed with legality and the infintesimal possibilities inherent in our legal system Lev’s Leverendum was corrupt uncomfortably precise. Those that knew soon realized a two way street could be found here, a mirror chord, a darker, more secret symphony beneath the harsh plastic sounds of Delia’s rag. Do you feel threatened Rosen? We all feel threatened paranoia is not as godawful as might seem Rosen on first view. Yeah Lev illustrated, and perhaps this was as purposeful as original intent, that those people had had a corner on “legal” and now were feeling a little liquid around the collar Lev was — — tugging. • f ' I could write point by point here, attack Rosen’s column and illustrate it for the cheap sham it was. 1 don’t hit weak opponents. Jay Rosen’s writing lacks imagination, creativity and insight this is his problem. He should deal with it. Attacking the few good things/persons on this campus in the hopes of painting a pretty picture of one of the most ineffectual, least visible, least articulate “student leaders” this University has suffered with in a long time, seems to this observer a pretty humdrum way of excusing the excesses of a fellow hack and at the same time expanding an already narrowing field. What we want to see here is a public apology from Mr. Rosen. What jk want to see is a re-evaluation of the Leverendum. What we want to see here is more imaginative and stylized discourse and less, less of this, this, this how dull we say Woodward and Bernstein JUNIOR dribble. Michael Stephen Levinson has an awareness that this newspaper could easily have jf they weren’t so busy making tie-line phone calls to New York and picking the lint from their respective navels and kangarooesquely electing the likes of Jay Roaen to status of editor-in-chief. - Precisely, < James J. Stegman Rusty agony To the Editor Through this letter, I would like to address all students, faculty and staff with the intention of reaching those to whom this letter applies. Ij notice all • over both campuses (especially Amherst) that people think they’re doing everyone else a favor by decorating the landscape with bottles, cans, paper, etc. You name .i, it’s there. Why? Do you think that throwing things aside *eliminates the problem of having to dispose of them? Is it too much of an inconvenience to carry a can to a trash receptacle? I|ow about a gum wrapper or an empty cigarette package? Are these too heavy or bulky to dispose of properly? Aside from the fact that little causes eyesores, it poses a health and safety problem to humans and animals alike. Many know what it’s like to step on a rusty nail or cut yourself on broken glass from a shattered bottle. But do you likewise know what agony animals can go through when encountering some of this refuse? Birds and fish find shiny objects fascinating. When a bird dives after a tab top from a can it may wind up with a “nuzzle” around its beak, ultimately starving to death. Or a fish may swallow one and choke or bleed to death. Or a fish-preditor may ingest one from one of these fish. Or maybe a duck which manages to get its neck entwined in a plastic six-pack ring and strangles or starves or breaks its neck v is harassed and killed by a dog or other animals. Funny, the way concepts of such consequences can avoid entering people’s minds when they “instinctively” litter. Trends of society may have conditioned us when no-return bottles originated in 1959. Soon, no-retum this and disposable that flooded the market, with just about everything being packed or bottled in one-way cans, bottles, styrofoam and other various containers made of plastics and other hydrocarbon derivatives, all of which can be termed noh-biodegradeable. All this was probably meant to be a convenience to consumers, without considering the all-important environmental effects. Well, the honeymoon is over. Litter is no little problem but one which can be overcome very easily. So if you see that ahipe inconsiderate slob threw something where it doesn’t belong, take an extra ten seconds and pick it up. Believe me, it will be appreciated. Friday, William Formanek 12 May 1978 The .

It is both a series of lush color photographs framed by an ornate story, and a statement on man's moral ambiguity. Malle ( Lacombe Lucien; Murmur of the Heart; Black Moon among others) takes us into Storyville, the notorious red-tight district in old New Orleans, just before its demise at the hands of the U.S. Navy in 1917, Under the artist's spell, we are made tp see humenity heart and soul immersed in the world of bodily* pleasure. Malle's camera is a witness to the contradictions of human reality. , — — Beauty and purity An embodiment of these contradictions is Violet, the 12-year-olif’daughter of prize prostitute Hattie, herself the of a whore. Played by the mush publicized Brooke Shields, Violet is a child/woman who doesn’t question her existence. Growing up in a bordello is perfectly normal to her. She is anxious for the chance to attract her own portion of the many respectable men who make up the clientele. When the day arrives, Violet is ceremoniously dressed in white and carried into a room full of men on a large platter; a Immersed in the worldof bodily pleasure sparkler fizzing in her hand. Her virginity extolled, she is auctioned off by the grotesquely world-wise madam, Nell, as "the finest delicacy New Orleans has to offer." Close-up shots reveal the faces of the men filled with awe, a reverence at Violet's absolute luminescence. She represents the beauty and purity lacking in their own existence. The screenplay by Polly Platt is based on the real-life Violet in Al Rose's historical study, StoryviUe, New Orleans and on the mysterious photographer EJ. Bellocq, whose fame stems from the many pictures he took of StoryviUe whores. Beltocq's is the weakest character in Pretty Baby. He is ghostlike, haunting the the bordello with such sensyality dispatsion dipt he is the lone cactus in a greenhouse of tropical plants. His fascination with the prostitutes' world is never made explicit; he seems incapable of such emotion. Yet, the film is viewed through the eyes of Bellpfeq and Violet, to them, the bordello is full of beauty and meaning. Beliocq captures the essence irv his photographs, Violet in her childish wonder. The two are fated for each other. They marry. idealism. It is the ultimate contradiction. , - _ . * A loss of innocence Violet poses for Bellocq in a Hide girt'* dress and large hat, while in her lap sits his gift of a doll. Her portrait is a symbol of the contradictions she is to him: the sacred image of art. lover, child. The three can never be reconciled. When Hattie, who has snatched respectability by marrying -a paving contractor, comes to take Violet away, Bellocq's face is that of a man who has lost everything. The film's final scene, with Hattie's husband snapping a photo of his hfcw family, is perfect. Scrubbed clean of any whorehouse markings, mother and daughter are visions of experience in their prim clothes. Their loss of sensuality is a Igsr of innocence, recorded by a Brownie center*. Gone is Bellocq's elaborate ttase-plate tool, widt hs eye for the beauty inherent in at) and its mystique of art and The star of Pretty Baby IS Brooke Shields. She joins the long line of talented young actresses who leap into stardom with their first film, but she has a definite plus: her face. The character of Violet could not have shown through a face any less beautiful. Shields is illuminating. She is the quintessential Violet an utterly beguiling and convincing mixture of child and woman. Her naturalness adds to the film's lyricism. Keith Carradine is handsome as Batlocq, but that is alf. This is more the fault of the script than his talent.

Like any good journalist I began writing about The Ramones before the punk syndrome began to set, before it became the hip thing to do, before unfortunately anyone wanted to hear about them. More unfortunate was the fact that no one at The Spectrum (outside of the music anyway) cared to take any of that new wave biz seriously. Instead they preferred to bask in left field with the New York Yankees, shouting super, super, never stopping thinking about tomorrow, and never, never, ever onpe trying to understand what living rock and roH might entail.

He became .tired with what his contemporaries were striving for. To him their purposes seemed a bit complicated (too much too soon, perhaps). Rosetti and his pals were dossing about England, acting graceful while bumming meals from their patrons. Since they were all in the same boat these artists and poets iconoclast communion against the Royal Academy. These practical of purveyors Age Middle masterpieces became known as the Pre-Raphaelites. They wanted to bring art a little back in time in f«*r of where it was heading. The works produced in England by the Pre-Raphaelites- speak for themselves.

Friday, 12 May 1978 The Spectrum Page fifteen . . �Loved Women' a source of embarrasment Spectrum Artt Staff The Boys i#i The opening scene in The Man Who Love Women takes place at the site of the protagonist's funeral. An endless entourage of lovely legs file past to pay their last respects to a man who could never "get enough." Francois Truffaut's latest film is much like our initial discovery of The Man, Bertrand (Charles Denner) and our final devoid of vivacity reaction is that we are the ones yyho didn't get enough. Truffaut's portrayal of a man who devours women with an insatiable hunger, as if they were a required daily substance, seems more skeletal than leftovers. ' 3 if Any film directed by Truffaut has a certain amount of charm. but in The Man Who Loved Women these moments are truly minimal. Truffaut's tribute to this man is as vacuous as the pleasure these numerous love affairs render the protagonist Bertrand exhibits a dire need to chase any pair of attractive legs but finds little satisfaction in his conquests. Each simply becomes another photograph for his collection and Deprived moments Many potentially comic entry into his memoirs. instances which might give this filrp some much needed Erroneouslaye rs Bertrand elaborates that resuscitation ary purposely women are essential to his being, avoided.

' . he pursues some shapely legs. The final irony takes place as he is recuperating in a hospital, when the familiar sight of a nurse's legs sends him toppling off the bed, leaving him fatally floored. However, earlier and dominant tone robs these final moments of any comic force. As with most of The Man. the mood here seems gut of place, and is detrimental to the film as a whole. Tryffauttells the story through flashbacks, alternating narrators between Bertrand as a child, Bertrand as a grownup, and the woman who publishes his memoirs. He films Bertrand's childhood scenes appropriately in black and white. The director suggests that Bertrand's need for the numerous affections of women is related to his mother's vampish ways. This pat Freudian explanation is less than convincing, although Truffaut evidently finds it sufficient. <. Much ado A few other themes are haphazardly thrown in, but they too are poorly detailed. He lamely introduces the notion the Bertrand's sexual appetite is a means -of assuring his own identity. And by writing h(> memoirs, Bertrand'tries to leave behind his history or legacy. His mother walks around half-clad, we are told, just to convince herself that her son doesn't exist. And, last but not least. Bertrand dreams he is a mannequin. All of this effort to depict the character's abscence of self-hood seems to be much ado about nothing. As a character, Bertrand couldn't be more transparent if he were the invisible man. Unfortunately, the film's scars are obviously and poorly bandaged, becoming a source of embarrassment for a great' director like Truffaut. Hopefully it will fade quickly away. - Talas ;v _ Scionc« May 18th & - - GOOD RATS SPYRO GYRA i May 25th I9th May Slat Hi ; . / „* 1■ ’ a.

We see our ladies: man on the road to self-destruction holding a one way ticket; there are virtually no roadside diversions, and our passenger manages to raise within us only a slight passing interest. Truffaut refuses to handle this, man and his obsession with any comic treatment,, and he errohouslv layers the film with serious end heavy moods. Bertrand never smites nor displays any embfionat network; nevertheless,, his somber demeanor attracts women by the score. One woman perceptively explains this appeal: "you have a special wey of asking as if your life depended, on it." Bertrand tries vainly and desperately to seduce every fragment of a woman.with whom he comes in contact, including the abstracted voice of his wake-up service.

I've never noticed this myself, but I suppose they're right When the time pomes to say goodbye, I'm usually the one with the small grin on his face who's standing somewhere in the distance, thinking about how nice it is to be here and trying to come up with a good excuse for staying. I'm not much good at leaving because leaving implies that things will be better when and where one arrives; I always manage to call the shots wrong about the future. Joan Didion orice wrote that the future always looks good in southern California because no one ever thinks about the past. I don't think it works that way everywhere. The fact is that for many college seniors, the future looks, at best, uncertain. People who treat college 'a/t anything other than a vocational school are learning hard and fast these days that they don't fit so easily into this great American system of ours, that they are without a career in a land where the career often defines the person. Perhaps it's not so strange, then, for people such as these to notice how good things are just when they prepare to leave them, how comfortable it suddenly feels to be in a place they kept telling themselves they would never quite adjust to. But my intention here is not self-indulgence nor a tirade against the American educational system. I have titled this piece The Gentle Art of Criticism so that I might bow out gracefully.Teaving behind some thought and proposals which I hope I have li\/ed up to. If in the process of bowing out I lean too far towards tirade, well, we careerless Americans have to get our ticks in somewhere. they say, as if movies were like expensive foreign cars they're afraid of breaking. This kind of defeatist attitude worries me. It worries me because if people can't go to an art event with the security of their own beliefs, if they can't walk out later, with the willingness to put their reactions on the line, then art is fullfilling its purpose. not terribly Something has gone wrong somewhere. I cringe every time I hear someone say that a movie or a play "was good, but it was over my head," We seem to forget that art is supposed to say something, that it involves the trading of thoughts, ideas, and feelings between artist and audience, not from the artist and to the audience. Reaction and understanding are essential. Communication without the free of exchange reaction and understanding is nothing more than propaganda. And yet, for too many people, art is exactly that. anyone and everyone as he does for himself. Unfortunately, the large disparity between critical and box-office successes as if exists now only helps to foster animosity on the part of the artist to his audience, and vice-versa. But it may sound as if I am calling for everyone to give up his ideals and take what comes at him with open arms. I am not. Bad art is bad art. It is how the critic bad art that decides whether he is doing his job most effectively. reacts to Most importantly, he must be able to maintain that fine balance between praise and disapproval. Only by being supportive of the arts can the critic be influential in the way he ought to be. And only then would the arts be, in fact, for everyone. It'll blow your mind! The critics are partly to blame for this situation. They, too, seem to forget that there is an audience out there which should be spoken too. The worst kind of criticism is the kind that puts the critic first and the art last, that turns the critic into, heaven forbid, the object of his own review. Nevertheless, one need only to mention the names of the most influential critics to discover where they fit in with the general public. Vincent Canby is the elder statesman, but is falling behind the times; Andrew Sarris is the underground authority; Molly Haskell is the guru of the chic; John Simon is altogether misanthropic. Criticism, at its best, is an anonymous art. It should be, first and foremost, sympathetic to its subject, and should reveal the work's weaknesses with the compassion and understanding of one who genuinely wishes that Art, as the saying so simply things turn out right. OnlyJn the puts it, is for everyone. An easy obvious and extreme enougtv idea to put forth. But it most instances should resentment be at can be as much of a cause for the forefront of a piece of despair as for relief.

They might have scored more, but Csati, who drove in the tying run, got cut down on the base paths. Dwyer held tlje Bengals scoreless in the extra inning with a masterful performance, as the State Buffalo went down one-two-three on a fly out, ground out and a strike out. Dwyer won the game for herself with a repeat performance of an earlier run. She singled, stole two bases and scored when Shirley Huber's sharp line drive hit the pitcher in the stomach.

Baschnagel was seen talking with RARI Chairman Sal Esposito last week while watching a UB baseball game. At the time, Baschnagel commented that he was just making a “social call.” Tuesday, the Buffalo Evening News quoted Baschnagel as saying, “I think I’m one of the top candidates.” ■. * '.

He became assistant coach here, serving under then-basketball coach Muto. When Muto resigned the coaching position, Baschnagel and Leo Richardson were candidates to succeed him. Richardson got Muto’s job and Baschnagel was made varsity tennis coach. One year later, Baschnagel was offered a position as assistant basketball coach at Clarion State and he accepted. Richardson remained as basketball coach here until RARI decided in March not to renew his contract for next year. According to the Evening News, both Baschnagel and Hughes expressed some fears about the current situation at UBl Baschnagel is seeking assurances of support by % something Richardson felt he never received.

Parker Campus Editor The UB College Council decided Monday to fonnally study the performance of University President Robert L. Ketter and hold a special unscheduled session possibly this June to present the results of thfc inquiry and contemplate a vote of “merit” or “non-merit” on the President. Monday’s session was slated to be the last Council meeting until Septemtf r. This reversal of last month’s Council decision not to investigate alleged disenchantment with Kettle was spurred by the presentation of Scott Jiusto, Chairman of the Student Association (SA) Presidential Review Committee. Jiusto outlined die committee’s findings and explained SA’s vote of no confidence and subsequent call for Ketter’s - - . removal. fi. .; Council member Robert Koren explained that at the last Council meeting, no documentary evidence of disenchantment with Ketter students ‘Vat serious enough to existed, but Monday’s warrant action.” He noted that the end result of the investigation could take the form of a “merit vote, a no-merit vote, or a tabling motion.” SHERMAN ANNEX LAB; The centrifuge and high pressure Physiology facility.

Whiting, who quake with Millonzi over the weekend and arranged the student appearances, responded, “It is essential, not just important, that students be allowed to come before us. I think we should set a precedent." Millonzi countered by saying, “I don’t want it written in stone that this is the absolute way for the future.” Whiting, who is only the third student ever to be a member of the Council, objected to Millonzi’s portrayal of her as merely a conduit of student views. ‘Tm also a Council member who listens to reports*with bends), « V * w-. ni-a'JSh, oray council This prompted-Mott to adc '.I j* % Ter.- ac for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn’s outUng of his newly-proposed Academic Plan and Qcan of the School of Marugement-Joseph AUuto’i detailing of the new Regional • ' studies > fhn rUKatA cavino Millonyt rrtrw'InHpH . ... .. -- v Council member.

Bugelski feels that his option of staying here for another five years would deprive someone younger of a job. Although it is not convenient financially for him to djuit, he believes that the younger faculty members (those under age SO) produce the best research. Beginning his retirement, Bugelski will assume the role of Professor Emeritus and continue to research and complete his fifth book, which investigates the principles of learning and memory. His previous works include: Introduction to Principles of Psychology. Psychology of Learning, Psychology of Learning Applied to Teaching and Empirical Studies in the Psychology of Learning, Bugelski has done extensive learning research with dogs, rats, blind and deaf children and college students.

The concept behind “tripling” is that once the “no-shows” (people that requested housing but never took possession of their rooms) have been pinpointed, their rooms are assigned to the 160 people that are the victims of tripling. “The aim of our policy of short-term planned tripling and overcrowding is servicing as many as possible and inconveniencing as few as possible,” said Boyce. 1 Tenuous predictions The 160-figure is arrived at based on past experience that three to four percent of the total number of applicants for University Housing are “no-«hows.” However, Housing officials have allowed for a very small margin of error according to SA Senator Scott Jiusto, the author of a critical study on the misuse of facilities space in the Ellicott Complex. Jiusto says that roughly 20 persons could find themselves trapped in permanently overcrowded conditions if the full four percent of the total number of housing applicants, or 185 people, show up and only about 162 extra spaces are provided to accommodate the overload, Jiusto has requested that Facilities and Planning investigate and see how much office space in the Ellicott Complex could be consolidated to make more space available for additional housing space. The major problem in making projections about University that some students entering the University for the first time are not admitted until quite late. According to Director of Admissions and Records, Richard Dremuk, it is possible that some students “could be admitted right up until the day classes begin.” Presently, between 2800 and* 3000 freshmen*students and no less than 1500 transfer students are expected to enroll by September. Additionally, since there is no centralized admissions policy for graduate students, it is very difficult to determine the exact number of incoming graduate students .c »■ who will require University housing. housing is Meaningful Summer > : First come first served ■ Although about half of the incoming freshman class is from the Western New York area, an estimated two percent of this group may request University housing, in addition to the preponderant number of students from out of the area or out of state who usually request housing. Working with such incomplete and tenuous figures, the task of University Housing in making projections is thus complicated 1 - ii|E|S H ft' L*> considerably. Those returning students with the most semesters in University housing receive the lowest numbers in the housing room allotment. Thus, returning students are given priority. For the first time this year, upperclass students who have been living off campus, but who have previous experience in University housing, will be given the next highest priority. Finally, those students requesting housing for the first time are given the lowest priority. Those students applying late are assigned whatever spaces are left after the lottery. Said Boyce, “Our experience is that those who apply latest have the least chance of being accommodated. Last year the predictions from Admissions and ' mmm RfeV'xSsaBa i Jh-;| Records on the number of incoming students fell short and we were able to abcommodate most of the applications.” fcfi i w * I F| Enjoy a r Free Came! fc&'isfi ' ' a -1 ■mm 02 Fresca.

Cheektowaga, N.Y. 683-9551 ■ �Management School SA President wants unanimity 9 gets new faculty lines Mott’s ‘no confidence fails '~Jt 2J' by Lori Braunstein Staff Writer by Scott Lester Staff Writer Spectrum A good year The faculty student ratio is now above accreditation standards according to Management Dean Joseph Alluto, and the new plans have been submitted and approved by the Accrediting Association. With the addition of the new faculty members, the student-faculty ratio will be about 25 to 1. “Our target for two years from now is a student-faculty ratio of 20 to 1,” said Alluto. In addition to adding faculty, enrollment has been limited to decrease class size. “We have had one of the best recruiting years of any of the major schools in terms of numbers and quality,” maintained Alluto. He is optimistic that class size will drop and that the School of Management might be able to offer seminars that it was unable to in the past. Graduate class size will also probably drop as a result of the new professors because the Management faculty is required to teach at both graduate and undergraduate levels. This, Alluto asserted is “because everyone is part of the school-community.” Over the last few years, the School of Management has lost an average of two to four faculty members per year. This year has been different, however, as only three have left. The Accounting Department lost only one of its faculty members (due to death) in contrast to its recent average loss of three per year. The Other two faculty members that left the School were from the Departments of Management Economics and Management Systems. One of the school’s biggest problems has been raising the standards of its night program in Millard Fillmore College (MFC) to those of its day program. “Almost all of the MFC management courses were taught by part-time faculty and very few professors with doctorates,” revealed Alluto. “PhD’s from the School of Management will now teach some of the MFC classes.” <«MS» * to opposition Vehement (SA) Student Association President Richard Mott’s resolution calling for a second vote of no confidence in President University Robert Ketter, and Treasurer Fred Wawrzonek’s harsh criticism of top Executive Committee members for their handling of the proposed budget highlighted an often tedious Student Senate meeting Monday. The meeting was the Senate’s last of the academic year. Mott felt the that Senate’s6-10—1 vote of no confidence in Ketter and its call for his removal would be reinforced by a unanimous' no confidence vote. The resolution was opposed by several seantors who claimed that it could in fact weaken the Senate’s earlier vote, that the vote would hot be representative because only 20 of 47 senators were present and that Mott and others were trying to “railroad” it through for personal gain. SA Executive Vice President Karl Schwartz denied that personal gain was a motive in drawing up the resolution and claimed that if the Senate wished to remove the President, it must provide a solid and obvious basis for such a goal. “A 16—10 vote, tells many whom 1 have come into contact with that the Senate was somewhat split on the motion,” , preceded the Senate conference said they were extremely upset Schwartz said. The motion was eventually rescinded. Spectrum Five -new faculty lines will be granted next fall by the state Division of the Budget (DOB) to the School of Management in response to an external accrediting team’s recommendation to hire more qualified instructors, according to Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn. The School’s accreditation was placed on probation two years ago and has been in question ever since. The American Association of Collegiate Business Schools, which conducted an evaluation of the School in 1971, determined that there were not enough full time professors with PhDs for the number of students enrolled. An internal review in 1976 revealed that the faculty-student ratio had not improved significantly and the accrediting team consequently granted the school two years to correct the situation or face the possibility of losing accreditation. As a result, three faculty lines were generated last year through reallocation of funds within the department and three additional lines were transferred to the school from the Millard Fillmore program. New professors were recruited from schools including Texas University, MIT and Northwestern. Five additional professors will be recruited by September, Bunn said. * with the Council members’ treatment of them. Mott, who spoke to the Council abou the Ketter controversy, claimed he was “amazed at their attitude . showing almost no respect for us as students.” Recently-elected student representative to the Council Michael Pierce briefly outlined some 'of his plans to establish a “cabinet” of advisors to aid him. Mott, Wawrzonek accused Schwartz, SA official Scott Juisto and “advisor” Bill Finkclstcin of making wholesale changes in the budget without the consent of the entire Executive Committee. any four denied All impropriety. Schwartz said that nothing illegal occurred and that the discussions referred to by the Treasurer merely attempted to re-evaluate last year’s $47,000 budget deficit and appraise the merits and shortfalls of the new .

There has been no discussion concerning his replacement W awrzonek informed the Senate that he is investigating the problem of late collection of mandatory student fees. One suggested senator that SA institute an incentive similar to Albany State’s where groups that have paid receive cheaper rates for certain campus activities. It will help Funding for the improvements will come from a variety of sources faculty turnover, additional faculty lines and reallocation of existing monies. “This turnover of faculty is typical of-schools of management because of the great number of jobs available in the field,” said Alluto. MFC is also paying for some of its improvements. Chairperson of the Management Systems Department Edward Wallace is generally pleased with the three new additions to his Departments. “Obviously it will help, in terms of quality,” said Wallace. “One of the additions to our,staff is a chief executive officer of a major corporation and his experience will benefit considerably.” Wallace sees the main improvement in the School of Management as “increasing the quality of- the new staff, not the — reduction of class size.” Alluto, who said he is confident of the School’s future, said that University President Robert Ketter’s recent claim that he would “steal” from the University endowment fund to guarantee the School’s accreditation, was unwarranted. “The state ought to be able to meet its obligation to the school to provide funding,” he said.

The College Council has wisely decided to assume a role in the investigation of University President Robert L. Ketter's performance. We feel this action is not above and beyond the Council's call of duty, but rather a responsibility that it should not only accept but welcome. Although we surely are not comfortable with the heavily-skewed make up of the Council and, like everyone else, nor Clear on just what if the state duties are "written in stone" for the body insists on retaining such an assembly, we see no reason why Council inquiries like this one should not be expected by the University community. Just how the Council intends to go about the investigation remains unclear. If it simply relies on material sent by faculty, administration and staff, Ketter's supporters will probably swamp the inquiry with richly laudatory Opinions on the President, wha is clearly gaining sympathy in circles such as the UB Foundation and Alumni r *?• Association. No less reprehensible would be the Council seeking out malcontents in the faculty, administration and student body for their grievances against Ketter. An appropriate balance must obviously be struck to provide the Council with representative input from all comers of the University. The Council should also be mindful of its own orientation. While most of the disenchantment with Ketter is centering around his academic leadership and internal administrative style, the President has maintained consistent external appeal among business and community leaders. He almost always has been respectful, cooperative and open with Council members. Care must be taken to insure that Ketter's relatively smooth working relationship with the Council is placed in proper perspective, for it is a unique one. No other group which interacts with Ketter operated within such a vertical power structure. In this respect, the Council is in a special position to both criticize the President and be influenced by him. , Finally, Student Association (SA) leaders along with the student representative to the Council, Cindy Whiting, should be applauded for bringing the issue before the Council and forcing the body to deal with it in public. Without their efforts, the Council would probably still be begging off-on Ketter.

Datum: UB has only one big problem, on which everything including decent survival depends building the north campus. And building the campus has been, is now, and will continue to be purely and simply a political football.

Jay Rosen’s concoction concerning discontent in President Ketter’s widespread administration is substantiated only by a single source; that of the American Studies Program’s Director, whose proposal for a PhD program was previously denied. The. articles printed at the beginning of this semester were not capturing the readers’ attention, but does Rosen have to resort to 1 attended the Student Senate meeting last Friday, with Ketter at the podium. The impression I. received vvas of a man cool tinder pressure, brilliant with catagorization of data and figures, and confidence unshaken even when the most sensitive and private issue of his ability to lead is under attack. References and statistics were the replies to vague questions using cliches such as'“quality of life” and “visions.” A paradox noted by Ketter was that in the recent controversy lie was accused of losing his ability to lead, all the while he is being described as authoritative, with dictatorial tendencies. Where are we supposed to stand Rosen? Apathy is a plague in this University. Perhaps it’s due to the lack of issues truly earth moving and of direct effect (t.e., Vietnam, Watergate). But when we students get involved, it. gives us such an exceptional “high,” my hypothesis, then, is students are jumping on the bandwagon to see how much of a stir we can muster. Overenthusiastic airs dominating an issue should be left to “hotheads,” not University students. It’s common knowledge that Rosen is a biased writer (Spectrum, Friday 21, p. 21), what is he doing as the Editor in Chief! Yes, he’s done the job of getting readership, but the scar that’s left is hard to heal. Chun Pan Senior Dept, of Molecular Biology note: It apparently is not “common knowledge" to you that my concoction had nothing to do with the American Studies Program Director you mention, but rather concentrated itself on the Editor's upper levels of the administration.

As far as Ketter’s paradox" his deftactics propose that he has lost his ability to lead because of arbitrary and self-serving assertions of authority and dictatorial ftyrannical) tendencies The paradox, his critics believe, is that Ketter is willing to assert his authority when it makes him look good and plays a powerless role when he might look bad.

Since the contract is a legal document, I intend to return my refrigerator on May 17. I urge all students to wait until this date if possible.

The move to Townsend Hall would inhibit the growth of the College (approximately 1000 square feet less space): The hall is located in on? of the darkest, most inaccessible areas of the Main Street Campus. This proposes problems when considering the safety of women involved in late night activities. A primary goal of the WSC is the involvement of Buffalo community women. An on-campus location would discourage this important Interaction. Unless major alternations are made, Townsend Hall does not have a large capacity meeting room vital for the College’s regularly scheduled activities: collective meetings, governance, various presentations, pot luck dinners, discussions, drop-in center, lounge. The current house occupied by the WSC is located off-campus in a safe residential area. Women from the community participate willingly.

An honest, open public forum doeis not come under the heading of a productive means to achieve x this genocide. And 4, There is absolutely nothing that any Arab student can say that is to be believed. As long as they will not come before the public and substantiate their positions with fact, as long as they will not publicly deny their aim of the genocide of the Jewish People, and as long as they will not recognize the existence of the State of Israel, it is obvious that they don’t want to help achieve the peace we all so desperately need. ~ Mitchell B.

The capitalists whose vested interests lie in war and oppression, were trembling, so they called in their guardian dogs, the National Guard, to. put down the students. The. murder of four students whose only crime was their love for humanity was the result. The murders at Jackson State followed soon after. The Guardsmen said it was self-defense shooting people in the back. But their lies were as precedented as the shootings (police repeatedly use violence to end labor disputes)! The students"would not be forded or quieted. The memory of Kent State till today inflames the hearts and anger of those who see the war the capitalists are waging against minorities, workers, and students.. That is why the University administration who have always been one with the. capitalists (as Ketter is here at U.B.), seek to desecrate and neutralize the site of the tragic deaths by constructing an athletic facility there. But this tactic as well as that of prohibiting leafletting and the-use of bull horns only makes us more aware and more aroused to overthrow the reigns of capitalism. So when protestors gathered in the student union at Kent State last Thursday, May 4, after the demonstration, police surrounded the buddingbeating up and arresting people. Our own Brian Webster, a political activist from Buffalo, was brutalized by these armed dogs of the state and subsequently arrested. Bail was set at $5500,'later lowered to $2000, while local bail bond licenses and pawn broker licenses were revoked tq hamper the release of the political prisoners. It was practically marshal law Thursday, with arrests being made for hitchhiking, jay walking, vagrancy and any other charges police' could concoct. If you are wondering why you haven’t heard anything about this on the news, it’s because per usual there has been a complete white-out of these events in the bougeois ' ■' press and media.

For six years the files of the crime have remained open; so far no one has been charged with the homicide. The police have hit a dead end in the case. A new television program, Crimestoppers, now dramatizes major unsolved crimes that have occurred in the Buffalo area. Every other Sunday, one crime from the past is re-enacted on WKBW-TV (Channel 7) and is then featured in the Buffalo Evening News. “The people hold the necessary information for solving these Eyewitness says crimes,” Newswoman Susan Banks who anchors each presentation. “The most effective method of reaching the public is through the media,” claims Lieutenant A1 McDonald of Central Intelligence at the Buffalo Police Department. . Tip call All important facts and clues are explained in order to give a complete picture of. the crime. The hope is that someone's memory will be jarred perhaps a casual witness who didn’t put all the pieces together at the time. Maybe someone who has important information will be - persuaded to speak up. Anyone with such information is urged to call the police T1PCALL number (847-2255); $1000, an incentive furnished jointly by Channel 7 and the News is awarded to anyone whose information leads to a conviction. The idea for Crimestoppers came from Eyewitness News' chief photographer who learned of a similar program in New Mexico. The Crimestopper program in Albequerque was founded .in Fall 1976 by police officer Greg MacAlesee. Eighteen months later, felony solutions to 447 crimes have been attributed to the program. So far 85 individuals have been brought into court and As ' ...... of unsolved crimes and hopefully riiis will clear them up.” Channel 7 emabrfced on this project “as a community service,” says Banks. “The crime factor is a major reason for people moving out of a community and the city needs help with this problem,” she said. “It’s good publicity for the station,” Bill Nailos of WKBW admits, “but what’s important is to keep people alert about what is going on around them.” convictions In homicide, rape, armed robbery and burgulary cases have resulted. Over a dozen fugitives have been arrested; $503,000 in stolen property and narcotics has been collected. In 1971 and 1972 Aiberqueque ranked in the top three U.S. cities for number of crimes per 1000 people. “Since the inception of the program every month the city has seen a marked decrease in crime,” reported MacAlesee. Every Monday an unsolved crime in appears both Albequerque daily Some crank calls Television News is often criticized for providing mere entertainment rather than a serious newscast. Crimestoppen com fortably fits the into entertainment category.,In Albequerque, MacAlesee feels this is a very positive quality of the program. Susan Banks agrees. J Tf it gets people to their televisions and will possibly lead to the solving of a crime, that is what’s important,” she commented. Public reaction to Crimestoppers has been positive. According McDonald, to TIPCALL has received ntany complimentary calls about the program. Judging by mail and what he calls “street” comments, Wardlow concludes that the newspapers and is re-enacted on the news programs of two of the three local television Stations. Actors fitting the descriptions of the victims and criminals are used in the addition, dramatizations. In various radio stations air a 60-second tape throughout the week. MacAlesee claims it is not unusual for a Crime to be solved within 48 hours. For one rape case, 24 phone calls were received the very night the case was aired. All of them checked out, except for the 2Sth, which came the next morning J. and lead to the^. apprehension of the rapist. Apparently the rapist was watching TV with someone when his crime was re-enacted on a newscast. The tipster noticed the amazing resemblance the drawing had to his TV companion and how nervous his companion became while viewing. "A phone call was made and when the man was picked up he was wearing what he wore the night of the crime. The woman positively identified him in a police line-up that day. Thin indictment In Albequerque the tipsters receive their reqard for the arrest and indictment; if they agree to testify the reward is doubled. In Buffalo, conviction is the prerequisite for the cash. Because of the lengthy legal process, MacAlesee suggested that Buffalo should amend its awird system. Assistant Managing Editor at the Buffalo Evening News community Crimestoppers. Crimestoppers is still in its infancy. To date only four crimes Woody Wardlow, parity responsible for Crimesloppers in Buffalo, disagrees, “indictment is a little thin,” he said. “You might get people turning in everyone just for the money.” Ihjrjty-eight thousand dollars ha/ already been awarded in Albequerque thorough 4he program, all of which came from public donations. “There are barely any solicitations,” said MacAlesee. “It’s a community project with a great deal of community involvement.” A real estate agency donating a certain amount of money for each house drey sell is a typical example of how reward money is gathered.

At the moment the service has no counseling capabilities, that Is, no trained counselors are on-duty in case any women is victim of or witness to a rape. However, Tobol would like to see the service eventually turn into a rape crisis center offering a variety of facilities, including counseling. She would also like to have use of the Comrtiunity Action Corps (CAC) van to increase the range and efficiency of the service Future plans call an Amhr branch with roving team; accompany people from the library and various buildings.

Frank Betely played well in goal, but, thanks to the Bull defense, was never really tested after the first period. The improved UB bench highlighted play this weekend as players such as Veurnick, Ptak and Joe Buffamonte played well past performance. above Buffamonte started the season by seeing little action, but came up with two goals and an assist against Kenmore. Besides scoring, Buffamonte moves well without the ball, aiding the flow of the offense. Ptak, who sees little action in mid-week due to Dental school commitments, came up with outstanding performances in both the Saturday and Sunday games. The Bulls conclude their season this Friday against Allegheny Community College at Rotary Field. Baseball BuUs lose doubleheader, 7-S, 2-0 The death knell rang long and loud Monday for the baseball Bulls as a 7-5= 2-0 doubleheader lots to Cornell University all but ended Buffalo’s 1978playoff hopes. The Bulls, now 22*19, would have to win all eight of their remaining games to even be considered for post season play. Second baseman Pat Raimondo (.39 J-) was home with the flu. Big righthander Phil Rosenberg worked ten innings in the doubleheader against Cornell in a last gasp effort to keep UB in contention. While Rosenberg and freshman Dennis Howard held Cornell to two runs in the second game, the Buffalo bats were lifeless. The Bulls got only three hits as they were shut out for the first Jime this year. Sophomore lefty John Jameson was in control all the way. getting the Bulls to pop up pitch after pitch. Catcher John Pedersen’s throwing error let in the first run and infielder Gary Caczor singled for another as the Big Red got all the runs . it needed in the third. Hit hard Don Griebner was hit hard in the opener, allowing five first inning runs before giving way to Rosenberg in the second. Buffalo rallied for four.in the.second but, the Big Red scored two more in the third to take a 7-4 lead. •Mike Groh, Jim Wojcik and Joe Marcella all went two for three but the Bulls fell short UB lost the opener 7-3 Sunday as Ithaca’s Chris Demattio blasted a three run triple off lefthander Joe Hesketh, keying a four run sixth for the Bombers. Shortstop Marcella and substitute second baseman Mike Morlock each made errors, helping Ithaca to five unearned runs. Down 7-6' in the nightcap, Buffalo exploded for eleven runs in the sixth, winning 17-9. Tri-captain Groh, five for six on the day, two hits in the inning. Phil Ganci had a three-run triple in that inning and Pedersen stroked three hits for the game to help reliever Howard to the win. Greg Fisher started for Buffalo. The Bulls play two against Niagara today (Peelle Field, 1 p.m.) and Canisius Saturday. Doubleheaders against Buffalo State and Canisius still remain to be rescheduled. -Mark Meltzer * if PARTS WORLD...”A NEW CONCEPT’* 8pedaAae in a Complete Inventory Of Original Equipment *• Faraign Car Faria A Acceaaeriee Aa Writ Aa AmericanFaria. •««» t«wn •«« •** •awMooits 1 «flut .Mumuw *— » •tWDM»N*l .a toots •*?* •HtOM K-OILCO ,m . .MTOTMI • •ammtm •asm .num • MKO .ac •wctms • kmmiu .sun .saw •(•am « (Ml W*A« ROTORS * MUMS TUHNEO CTAD STARTERS, GENERATOR 1 ALTERNATORS FREE TESTING m „„. - CONVENIENT HOURS MMMT-RnAV MS M-MC M — COURTEOUS SERVICE 634-8700 UVMA1 IN MHN PM SKNMY 1MSMMNN In Chaektowifla; Como Mallj716) 681-5550 ms 7880 TRANSIT RB.

A The unanimous decision was reached Friday afternoon after SA Wawrzonek Treasurer Fred — — estimated expenses of $30,000 and a cash balance of only $11,000 as of September 1. The freeze, will require Wawrzonek, President Richard Mott, or Executive Vice President Karl Schwartz to approve all spending by SA clubs and organizations on art basis. item-by-item Wawrzoneks projected expenses include salaries for office personnel, stipends for SA officials, freshman orientation, and budget money for SA expenses running from September through October. Wawrzonek also said the deficit could- be traced to g nebular “wtipiatcd other income” figure of $6,760 in the current budget that was never received. Wawrzonek called the expected income a “fudge factor that was carefully included in the budget to make the figures come out.” Carefully Wawrzonek originally asked for the “freeze” after next week but SA Vice President for Sub-Board Jane Baum raised the specter or like organizations “spending crazy" before it took effect. Schwartz supported Baum by noting that any “freeze” would have to “go into effect immediately so that doesn’t happen.” Wawrzonek told the committee that SA funding for organizations wpuld not be cut out altogether but that any allocationa“would be looked at carefully.” “If an organization wanted $300 for a party," Wawrzonek^said, “Not ■ ••.• : :« .; •■ . .. -a-i. \. ■ .■ "< ■' ,. •. —-f' i ■ • < .....

Ketter be taken at the May 15 meeting of the graduate faculty? Bross, in a May 1 memo to Acting Dean of Graduate Education Charles Fogel, proposed that “due to fears that this administraion would be vindictive,” the vote on Ketter be taken by secret ballot. Fogel told The Spectrum official agendas for the meeting had already been sent out, but that, as chairman, he would not discourage any debate and subsequent vote of no confidence in the President. Fogel expects “only about 50” faculty members to attend the meeting. Thus, he said he would not consider a vote to be “at all representative” of the faculty as a whole. "I certainly don’t want to ■ turn off any discussion,” Fogel observed, “but I would not consider it [the vote] an official action.” Professor Bross was harshly critical of the University Administration, vowing to “present a specific case of no confidence on the grounds of mismanagement.” Bross called this year’s rental of Ridge Lea facilities “grossly mismanaged” by the Administration. And, Bross claimed, “there are a lot of other people who regard the -continued on ov* 10— administration’s actions as ridiculous.” ft MILITARY EXPENDITURES AT U.B,. : Prof urges faculty ‘no confidence’vote Academic Plan ‘ Vd.

Program Director Skip Edmonds echoes the intent of new Station Manager Grant Santimore. “We are cleaning and polishing the format, in a prodess of fine-tuning the station, but people obviously can’t go looking for what it (the format) was.” Last year’s protest was, in part, a response io an vout-of-towner’s” bidding for the station. Liggett and Santimore are from Michigan, though the Santimore has since moved into this area. It Was feared that local public interest or public affairs information would be lost. Indeed, the only “locally owned” Buffalo radio station is WBLK, whose owner resides in Depew. Santimore reports that the station still plans to serve public needs, and that he has retained the majority of personnel. He and two others, Jeff Applegate and his wife, are the only three employees. The air sound of B-93, however, has been altered quite a bit. John Farrell has been switched to part time, while evening man Phil Chordas has left the .station to do promotional work for Amherst records. Part timers John Miller and James Braun were relieved of their duties effective the evening of April 30. . ! Format change Edmonds feel that “fine-tuning” of the format will take time, as the station tries to appeal to “different forms of a number of people.” Previous Arbitron ratings showed BUF’s listeners to be predominantly male in the 18-35 age group. The biggest scare progressive music lovers have had since the threat of the $700,000 sale last April was the plan to go to a “contemporary music” format. A programmer of the new playlist informs that it represents a “distinct change.” The dee-jays no longer have control of a progressive format; rather the station has direct control of the new format: This is completely opposite to what the new owners, have said. ‘‘The'drop-ins stop the flow of music. There are only two tunes at the most without a voice," John Miller; referring to the B-93 tag, which reminds one of that technological brainchild Rock 102. Edmonds, however, feel the new owners are very ■n Miller, and level-headed. upfront, and very nice. “These people are very good at what they do, and they are very reasonable,” Edmonds stated. Station Manager Santimore would like to hear from “anyone” on how they feel about the station. > bud8 et increases include Jewish Union ($900) and P O-O-E.R. ($9?5).

The FCC received over 1,000 letters from concerned listeners protesting the sale. When ABC network news was included in the format last Spring many thought, or hoped, that a compromise has been reached. But this April, without the publicity of the year before, Liggett purchased the station from Functional Broadcasting. Thirty days later, the result can be heard. There are presently four commercial breaks per hour as opposed to the previous three; and a higher influx of national-spot ads, such as CleaTasil and Midol. All this has gradually seeped into BUPs format, but the sharp musical change in the past week has confirmed the death of BUF, $ome say. ' \ There are those who feel the new people at B-93 should “have faith” in the progressive format. While B-93 continues to build for a new audience and a definitely more professional sound, the progressive audience must hold its breath and wait, as Edmonds suggested, and “see what the end result is.” > �Bunn sees Biological Sciences integration^ > The two divisions of Biological Sciences should be integrated into a single department according to Vice" President -for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn. This directly contraducts a recent external evaluation report made by a panel of distinguished scholars. The Department of Biological Sciences, which consists of ■'fiqll and Molecular (CMB) and Environmental and Organismal (E/O), ‘has been the subject of numerous over controversies rumored personality conflicts and inequitable allocation of funds resulting from a split between research and teaching monies. The outside evaluators addressed this problem and concurred that long standing fridfion exists, but “that —Jenson should not impair the functioning Or. Om P.

According to Allen, it was “a learning experience for Solkoff and myself as much as for the students.” Since one instructor lacked the expertise, of the other’s field, this was a chance for both to study and learn from one another. “The first time die course was offered, we were paralleling each other in our contributions and conclusions;” said Alien. “The second time we offered it, there was more integration and the results were more satisfying.” Allen felt that traditional historical theories and approaches about the Holocaust needed to be he* enrijch,ed. Nevertheless, believed that his role was to guard the integrity of historical theories and concepts which were often psychological crucial when explanations fail. A purely historical analysis often fails to explain why so many millions of lews passively accepted persecution and death. There is ; no lack of information or documentation on the subject; however, Nazi records merely reflect their own prejudices. Since they v considered their victims to be sub-human, Jewish passivity simply confirmed what the Nazis believed. Even the heroic conduct of the leaders and participants in the Warsaw ghetto uprising could be rationalized as the actions of an insane and murderous Jewish rabble, according to fanatical Nazi beliefs. History Professor nature of the Holocaust lies less in the behavior of the persecutors .and more in the behavior of the victims. Alien says that in spite of" the power of Nazi propaganda, anti-Semitism was only reinforced, not intensified. “The fact that the Nazis failed to persuade all of the people to accept their genocidal policies,” he said. Nor were hie S.S. guards and other personnel ever forced to kill. “This was One of the myths that was dispelled in the course,” stated Allen. “They all had a choice. None of them were coerced Into following • European Jews during the Second World War, has opened many an astonished eye to the tragic events of that era. A course recently offered at this University attempted to analyze genocide, the murder of a race of people, from both- a. psychological historical and perspective. Taught by History Professor William S. Allen and Psychology Solkoff, Professor Norman was considered an genocide experiment in interdisciplinary study and collaboration. Solkoff is primarily interested in the psychology of violence and' the effort aimed at psychological therapy for the survivors of the Nazi extermination camps. Sulkoff finds that the survivors set exhibit a common of psychological syndromes. In some respects, these syndromes torment children of survives more than the actual victims. In attempting to explain and analyze the Victim’s psychological responses to his conditions and treatment within the camp, Solkoff became interested in Nazism as a psychological phenomenon. Finding the psycho-analytical literature of this historical period deficient, Solkoff suggested some collaborative, kind of inter-disciplinary effort to Allen. Their work together on a aeries of articles and studies resulted in the course. orders.” • m .-vi T - t .J*>.**mmt* . ,.«r 'ti. -U M At the same time, the victims surrendered themselves into the hands of their persecutors with little or no resistance. Solkoff believes that this passivity, this willingness to cooperate, has its Origins in deeper, psychological causes. He cites such factors as the victims’ identification with the aggressor and “psychic cues that stimulate aggression.” Solkoff also emphasizes the enormous feelings of guilt, and fears of persecution which burden many Jewish survivors. ■ iSU.’wdkS - ' r-uKii Above all, the genocidal policies of Hitler were purely irrational, and thus, cannot be explained if ojie is limited to rational theoriea of analysis, he r~ said. Solkoff claimed that at tome one point, moat - employ theoriea to psychoanalytical explain the purely irrational aspects of human behavior. Too depressing ■' - Genocide has long existed in human histoiy. To this very day, genocidal policies are being carried on in many countries, such as Cambodia and Uganda. Yet the Nazi extermination policies were conducted on a larger scale and more systematically and than others and efficiently therefore became more infamous. Allen believes that two conditions must be present in order to prevent genocide from recurring; social justice and a set of absolute moral values. He cited that during the war, Denmark may have possessed those conditions as the underground resistance forces protected and led the Jews out of the hands of the Nazis. There are presently no plans to offer the course again in. die immediate future.

In dealing with students, Ketter has repeatedly shown his disrespect and disregard for us and our needs. His attitude at the Student Senate meeting was both srtide and rude. He went as far as to deliberately insult Cynthia Whiting, former College Council rep, by calling her ignorant of the facts “as usual.” The various issues raised by the SA report in relation to Ketter’s handling of student mandatory fees again shows his unprogressive attitudes and how they affect us. Because Ketter interprets the Board of Trustees guidelines in the narrowest sense he has restricted activities which would be beneficial to the student community. This is seen through his treatment of the NYPIRG contract. Even though the Presidents of five other SUNY schools allowed their SA groups to enter into contract with NYPIRG (under the same guidelines), Ketter feels this is a totally inappropriate use of student mandatory fees because it is a political group. I assume that political interaction is not an educational process to Ketter. He also objected to Group Legal Services because it was beneficial to the individual and not a “student service.” In dealing with the Pharmacy and the Record Co-op, Ketter has continually attempted to take the power away from the students and give it back to the administration. Because of his conservatism, Ketter not only defeats programs which are beneficial "to the students, but also is trying to slowly and systematically usurp our foundations and power at UB. Another factor is his denial of a student’s right to learn through actual experience when he mandates his interpretations. His decision on the Day Care Center gravely affects women’s rights to a quality education. How sexist and conservative can a President be? By saying that “there is nothing'that says a pregnant woman must Conte to the University” shows that he has a total disregard for the ne#d of women to be educated. Maybe he feels yfe jhouid just stay home and be “barefoot and pregnant.” Ketter’s decision on the Day Care Center is a blatant violation of the right to an education are University Presidents supposed to vjjprk in this manner? All my impressions were had from just sitting in Haas Lounge for three hours and listening to the man who makes the big decisions. His conservatism will reach every aspect of the University and will ultimately be its downfall. How can a President remain closed to new ideas and innovations if he has the responsibility of maintaining quality education? How can conservatism enrich and enhance our educational institution? In order for our lives at UB to be worthwhile, our programs, both academic and non, must be progressive and open to change. Here, we have an atmosphere which is static and slowly getting very stale. Whom else should we look to for solutions but the President? But, how can we if he is ■the problem? Vr ' ■ ■•? ‘ ; ' To the Editor. For the first time during my two years at UB, 1 had the chance to witness Dr. Robert Ketter’s presidency. 1 was impressed with his articulate, highly statistical and glib way of presenting himself. After a while though, it became quite evident that Dr: Ketter also, had the ability "to dodge questions and pass the buck. Ketter did not answer one question or allegation fully and just the same managed to sound'credible. He does this very well. Nothing anyone can say would change his conservative way of dealing with our education. As long as Ketter can puU an interpretation from here or a statistic from there, he feels secure in his answers and looks no further. Finding security in pursuing a “strict Constructionist interpretation’’ (SA report) of all SUNY guidelines, Ketter gives the University Community a very narrow path to step upon. To add to his philosophy, Ketter surrounds himself wifn a bureaucracy Which can, at times, make him inaccessible to students, faculty and his own administration. There are so many offices and vice presidents in Capen HaB that it is a wonder the University Community ever secs the President. Ketter can arrange circumstances in which he is never seen but his wishes are carried out by his top administrators. The forced resignation of Dr. Telfer from Facilities Planning is indicative of this. I personally encountered a “never see’* situation as Editorof The Buffalonian. When asking Dr. Ketter for an address to the seniors, I never heard from him but rather received a note from a Mr. Henry Jackson about the whole affair. If Ketter won’t see his administrators or students about various issues, what does he do all day? Out of this bureaucracy in Capen, an unprogressive administration has begun to stifle the University Community. The “law and order” man the College Council wanted in the early 70’s has tried to bring too much order to UB one which — reflects his conservative ideology. In his dealings with the faculty, Ketter has managed to alienate the academic realm of the University. His policies have not broadened the educational spheres here at all. To the contrary, he has put restraints on alternative educational programs, the colleges, and those departments which he felt deviated from the status quo, American Studies. ■ -t ‘u Ketter has yet to develop an academic plan and bases what does exist on his own personal academic politics. He has been known to call faculty members out onto the carpet to keep them in line. He uses tactics of intimidation and suppression in an atmosphere which is to promote intellectual freedom and advancement. Because of this, UB is suffering from “Brain Drain.” It seems that Ketter had destroyed the high morale and respect for education which once characterized this University. In return, he gives us a disgruntled faculty who finds it hard to carry out theirroles as educators. Another academic problem which faces a Ketteresque solution is the four course load. Because Ketter no longer supports the policy, saying that it has not worked as theorized, he will do all he can to insure our lose of it. By reimplementing the five — ' Won’tyou try Ketter good contact to the Editor: ' a&v . * I am writing in the hope of adding constructively to the current debate concerning the Ketter Presidency. , My association with tljjs University dates back to 1948, to the concluding years of Dr. Capen’s administration, it should be pointed out that Dr. Ketter has had closer and more frequent contacts with those who direct the religious programs on the UB campus than any of his predecessors. I take this to be a reflection of his genuine interest in the personal well-being of students. Sincerely, / - Rabbi Justin Hofmann Mismanagement To. the Editor. Well, it’s that time of year again when wecontinuing undergrads fill out course request forms for next fail. It shouldn’tbe. Why we are forced to do this right now is beyond me. With finals coming up, papers due, catch-up work to be done, etc., the last thing we need to worry about is scheduling for next year. What especially irritates me is that the course request forms don’t even get run through until at least late July. So there’s no pressing need to fill them out now. ■ My point is this; why can’t we fill out the lousy forms AFTER finals, during the first weeks of summer? Then we could just mail them in (or bring them in in some cases). I’m sure that nobody attending this University can’t afford the postage.' The whole situation is particularly annoying for those of us. in the School of Management. They * , don’t even have their instructors lined up yet for next fall, thus making registration a near-farce (t guess that’s why they’re called the School of Mismanagement). I must ask The Spectrvm editors to withhold my name from prilit.

Name withheld upon request Libby Post ~ me: \ To thf Editor: I would like to address this open letter to the one and only Dr. Ketter. Thartk you. npt enough. Many student officers are also out of touch with the student body. Why don’t you try to visit the dorms once in a while? See what it’s like to live here. Any student with any common courtesy at aU would pot heckle or jeer you, because most of us realize^hat your job is not an easy one, rthat your frprtfoffice will not necessarily solve the basic problems which confront this University, and that you are not the cause of all the problems, After three years here, 1 have heard countless ideas and suggestions that could improve the quality of this University, just by talking to people. Even as I write this letter, 1 am expressing thoughts which I have picked up from others, as well as my own. If you decide to interact with the students a little bit, I am almost certain your popularity on campus would increase, because it can’t get any worse, As a start, I would like to invite you to visit the second floor lounge in building No. 2 of Wilkeson. The people there are very friendly and I am aurc that the rest of the floor, as well as I, would be more than overjoyed to have you. I know that you have a busy schedule, so drop in any time. Somebody is always there. If you would rather meet me in the Student Club, the Rat, the Wilkeson Pub or anywhere else on campus, give me a ring. I would be more than glad to send you instructions on how to get there Dear Bob: (I hope I didn’t offend you by using your fir§t name. 1 happen to be on a first name basis with Dr. Claude Welch, as are many other students and he never seems to be offended.) Although I do not see any solid evidence to support the allegations printed against you in The Spectrum or the local press, I ckn still see why the Student Senate has called for your removal. It is due to the fact that your administration has been subject to a state of discontent, which has been building up , within the student body for several years and it was suddenly 'unleashed by last Week’s articles in The ""’t Spectrum. The reason for all the discontent is that your administration has been absolutely Unresponsive to the students. We never find out about decisions until after they are already made. You very rarely talk with students, unless you arc forced to and in your periods of hibernation, tensions build Up to a boiling poinb. Only then do you make yourself public. That is why Security had to escort you out df Haas Lounge tvyo years ago and that is why the Student Chuck FerYarc Senate voted to call for your removal this year F225 Wilkeson To alleviate problems such as this, the most no.tr v( effective action you could take is to make yourseilf 'more visible ahd encourage your subordinates to do PS.

Sunshine House has accumulated information from various articles and texts on the subject. This article is an attempt to distinguish the bullshit from the reality. y-- ■*- SA Senate microgram - Paraquat (Gramozone by its trade name) is a herbicide (weed killer). According to an article in the April 28, 1978 edition of Science Magazine, “when sprayed -in the air, paraquat sticks to die leaves of plants, desiccating them through a chemical reaction with the sunlight as a cataliyst. Thus, for the plant to be completely destroyed, it must sit for a day <and probably two in bright sunlight. The potential hazard to users of marijuana is created whenever the crop is harvested by the farmer on the same day it is, Once harvested and I, sprayed. i pressed into bricks for shipment across the border, the leaves are put of the sun, the plant stops its deterioration, and the herbicide remains largely intact on the marijuana.*’ L,v -V'?-'* ' . l^BT > . 1-'S'j 'mb' I ll.Tv?S , ■^1 |H| - ."■'i4MM^^iB^.- , - Talbert Senate Chamber ■■f-T . < I changed from Haas Lo ' ■' M ■ Previous studies on paraquat have concentrated on inhalation and ingestion of the herbicide iteslf. however, Recently, Scientists at the Research Triangfc Institute in North Carolina were able to analyse the smoke from a contaminated marijuana cigarette with a mass spectrometer. According to Science Magazine, ‘they discovered that roughly 5 percent of the parawuat remains in pure form after burning. Testa showed, for example, that in a .Cigarette, wilb a conteroaination of 1,000 parts per million (marijuana from Mexico have contained a concentration of paraquat as high as 2,264 parts per million), 0.26 „ . user.” Even with low doses of contaminated marijuana, scarring (fibrosis) of the lungs would build up slowly, and it would be some time before the only probable, symptbm extreme shortness of breath would be noticed. In other words,' according to the information Sunshine House has found, smoking paraquat contaminated marijuana will cause fibrosis (the formation of fibrous tissue that will impair the capacity of your lungs to take in oxygen). Sunshine House has very little concrete information about the “do it yourself” paraquat testing kits. However, the experts we have contacted feel it is not a reliable test. According to one source, when the marijuana iscrushed in water, the chlorophyll may be released, which turns the water greenish. Since th positive (est for parquat supposedly turns the solution blue-green, this may cause inaccurate results. Another ixpert consulted feels that without the use of a the -test spectrophotometer cannot be reliable. He feels that marijuana with low level of contamination will not cause a visable change of color of the solution. A spectrophotometer will .record that change, even though the naked eye cannot. In other words, the home test kit may show a negative result, whan in fact paraquat is present At this point in time, Sunshine House cannot say whether the test is reliable or nbt. We are presently trying to locate a ‘source of paraquat in order for us to test the accuracy of the home test kit. Until them, all we can suggest is that you stay away from Mexican marijuana, and smpke Columbian instead. - •' |||g of the likely to be inhaled by the * Monday, 8May 1978 The Spectrum Page nine . . �No Biosa felt certain that many faculty members would be apprehensive about even considering a rto confidence vote without a secret ballot. “I can almost guarantee that if it was a shew of hands vote, we would lose easily;" he said, “that h, in sense, part of the problem. . “If people could express themselves without fear of retribution, it would be very close.

Alutto received a request from University Executive Vice President Albert Somit for on how the School could better work with the community. That request has borne the proposed Regional Economic Assistance Center innovations * (REAC). expected to provide. - Formerly the Regional Industrial Assistance Center, REAC is “an expansion and coordination of programs already in existence,” said Alutto. The goals of REAC arc two-fold. According to the proposal, the Center will “act as a centralized and accessible vehicle for the providing of regional development services “and attract new resources of value to the region and stated As presently constituted, REAC will consist of at least three major programs. The first is the University Business Development Program, which is designed to aid the business sector. Ihis program would utilize the skills of students, faculty, and practitioners to provide research education, management and technical assistance, “particularly to small uusinesses,” the proposal stated. Some of the funding for this program is expected to come from proposed state and federal grants, including the New York State Department of Commerce and the federal Small Business Act. Predicting the future The second program is Business and Economic Research Studies. By means of a regional econometric forecasting model, this will provide information x on expected changes in total employment, unemployment, average wage rate. 5' v consumer price index, new car registrations, and school enrollments, etc. This kind of information is essential to local businesses and government officials for predicting future economic circumstances. The third program would work directly with local governments and non-profit and community organizations. Student interns, policy analyses, and special research projects are some of the services this Municipal Government Assistance Program is REAC will also coordinate and increase the number of student interns placed in public and . .■fiw.w private sector firms. > - “The substance of the RE AC proposal has been approved,” said Aluttp. “However, the funding is being negotiated by President Kettcr and Vice President of Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn. A decision is expected by June 1.” The proposed budget for the first year is somewhere between 575,000 and 5200,000. According to Alutto, RE AC’s main function is to “provide access to the University’s skills." The program is designed to benefit everyone involved. The proposal states that “by utilizing students as >yell as faculty, the School has been able to provide a high quality product at a very reasonable cost, while also improving the educational experience of students and providing increased opportunities for faculty research.” The community appears to be ready for REAC. The Courier Express in a recent editorial sated, “The Regional Ecdnomic Assistance Center is still another instance of the expertise available oft campus for the city to use, if the city is willing and able to take advantage of it. It is gratifiying to see this sort of thing going on with more and more frequency.” *srS&M j -v.

Nagarajan, who controlled the well-attended meeting, pushed for the less drastic “no confidence” resolution. Discussion at the meeting equestioned whether the no confidence sentiment was a direct retaliation to the President or whether GSA was firmly his policies. t>ne grad student warned that GSA might be rendered powerless if a call for Ketter’s resignation brought no result. In other business, GSA endorsed a proposed Energy Conservation Committee, which has hopes of implementing a long-range conservation' program and slicing into this University’s staggering 36.5 million annual bill. To date, the Committee in its quest for approval has received support from SA, the Faculty Senate, and Vice President of Finance and Management Edward Doty’s office. “ The Spectrum M > e~~ P*. 3 «*■• 5 P*. 14 '■•sol* ' ■ £ ( ja • ' i; ” < ‘thanks, but no thanks* by Elena Cacavas Contributing Editor After months of negotiation, the tfhiversity has withdrawn its offer to novelist John Gardner to occupy the English Department’s prestigious James McNulty T'hair. Gardner was given a negative by the Committee for Appointment promotion and Tenure’s (APT), '■rSrwarded to the Provost of Arts and Letters George Levine. According to. Levine, a number of factors were considered before any decision had been reached, the recent allegation Gardner “paraphrased” the including that 'ft '-i —Doynow i dance it up outside Squire The Gray Panthers: growing by Diane LaVaUe Sptctmm Staff Writ**: v. of the PoS Brothers and the accommodating v*& • ’ - Amidst tfadjaHii-rodc sound somewhat sunshine of the Squire area, the" Gray Foundation Panthers began building bridges tost generations across the Tuesday. a national organization v of senior citizens concerned with the advancement of human fights, sponsored the event to introduce themselves to the UB community, with which they are now affiliated.

An article in the April 10 issue of Newsweek Contained a claim by critic Sumner Ferris that 16 passages within Gardner’s The Life and Times of Chaucer had been paraphrased from five other books without any attributive material. An April 16 interview English Department with Chairman Gale Carrithers revealed that the Department knew of the Newsweek accusation, before publicized it. Carrithers, whose feelings on the nrattfe were mixed, said, “Gardner still functions as a good novelist.” He added that what the author did was “unfortunate,” claiming, “it will undoubtedly complicate his life and that of his colleagues wherever he goes.” 'Nevertheless, Levine stressed that the allegation was neither the sole nor major reason for the 19 Committee*! Afcril recommendation against Gardner. ■ • Buffalo Evening News' story unfortunately played up this one aspect which was not die “The dominant referring clement,” specifically he to said, the article’s headline. Budget negligence Another factor considered was Gardner’s failure to supply Levine with a proposed budget for a literary magazine the author was interested in starting. Stating that he received a “very round figure” for the project cost, Levine added, “I asked Gardner to draw up a specific budget which he never sent, although I kept asking.” Since the author indicated his coming here was contingent upon the creation of the journal, Levine was confused about Gardner’s negligence in submitting the budget. bad Although Gardner allegedly made no decision about the English Department’s offer, Levine stated that conversations with the author led him to believe that he was interested in joining the University. Faculty By-Laws that *a mandate, 'however, candidate be approached with only a proposal of intentions with the understanding that a final offer is contingent upon decisions at various levels.

Ketter refused to comply with the INS’ request. The May 2 issue of the Courier-Express stated-that Ketter’s actions were baaed on the grounds that such disclosure would violate the privacy rights of the students. Should the ban be imposed it would affect some 1800 students, the largest foreign student population aT any SUNY Institution. A meeting between Ketter and INS District Director Benedict Ferro, hat been scheduled for the morning of May 8. In depth coverage of the issue will appear in The Spectrum on May 10.

The plan eventually adopted is heavily influenced by Rosovsky’s views. The faculty were by no means united on the proposal. Those in the natural sciences were against any change, feeling the core curriculum was slanted heavily to the humanities particularly history. Other groups within the faculty felt the plan offers not enough intellectual depth. “The core takes a clear stand in praise of mediocrity,” said Professor William Bossert who favored a plan that would force students to declare both a major and a minor. The core curriculum seeks to place a heavy emphasis cm the development of “critical thought” among students. It also symbolizes the loosening grip of students on academic direction in higher education. Many of the liberalizations in undergraduate programs during the 1960’s came after heavy student pressure to ease requirements.

I was declared the and walked away April 24th winner VERBALLY with the Springfest Logo “under my belt.” /. I kept in touch with Mr. Rubin over the next lew days, concerned with the fact that tee shirts (a fabulous idea), would not be used because of a lack of funds. I called Mr. Rubin at home and at work, and showed him and concern. I was he doesn’t deserve anything! presumptuous Mcmday, May 1st. I called Barry Rubin because he had noT communicated with me in about five days. Even when there was a communication. line open, it wadi who was doing the calling. Mr. Rubin answered and when asked what was happening with the logo, replied: “'Deb, We chose Jim Paul’s logo because it combined all the ideas.” Number one Mr. Rubin Do you know what the meaning of a contest is?

It should be a hangout to draw students instead a last resort. The moat frequent complaints are of prices and the overall atmosphere. (It is like a cafeteria that sells beer!) Specials at the Pub are too seldom mi* not such a deal; the Uve entertainment is relatively poor; there is no dance flow and there is little publicity for what is sponsored. • A few suggestions indude a Happy Hour'oh Friday afternoons, lowered prices, better specials ($.10 beers, Women's Mite, free mugs), improved atmosphere (perhaps a certain theme) and some “munchies.” As anyone can see there is plenty of room for improvement... something the Pub needs lots of! - ''r. - - - - - point. My last point is this: We the students at UB have always seeked equal representation in student organizations. Well students we finally have achieved that. There ir equal injustice in the school and in the dorms. You may thank Barry Rubin (SA official) and Jim Paul (IRC president) for this marvelous balance of power. I am apalled as an art major at these actions. - Deborah Elkind his room to find SA officials Richard Mott, president and Karl Schwarz, Vice President there. After talking to them for over an hour, we understood that their position was 1) they didn’t have the money for the Springiest; 2) they intended to charge anywhere from I to 2 dollars for all the beer that one could consume. They also told us that if we had gotten 3,500 more signatures, they stil) had no other way out of their jam but to charge (obviously they were wrong). We resent the way Springiest was organized and the way that they handled the situation of misleading people here. Our gratitude goes out to the people who signed our petition and those wjio would have given the opportunity. Jan B.~Metzger Herb Newton New wave politics To CoUeen A Welch To the Editor: j. Give credit where credit is due. The front page article in Wednesday’s edition of The Spectrum is to say the least misleading. The politics behind the organization of Springfest are intricate indeed. Monday night we were informed of the fact that SA was intending to charge money for the Springfest by most to have'been paid for which was through the Mandatory Student Fees, Along with approximately IS other students we proceeded ~to get over 500 signatures on a petition refusing to pay fdr the beer at the Springfest. We then moved on to Barry Rubin’s rook to hand over The signatures and to find but exactly what SA’s plans were. We were refused admission tohis roomandbe refused to even talk to ns.

The advertisement did not ask for ideas and suggestion* it asked for a final product. Mr. Rubin the advertisement did not state in any way, shape or form, “Once you handed in your design it became your property ISA’s property)." Therefore, what you did was not only unethical but also illegal. how.did Jim Paul (IRC president) Mr. Rubin have the audacity to hand in his logo after the deadline and after viewing alt of the other designs. how did you have the nerve to sanction Barry and take part in such an action. I know Jim Paul is your friend Mr. Rubin but doesn't one draw a line between “friendship and professionalism.” Once again I am presumptuous you are not a professional in job- status or in your dealings with students. If this is the way you conduct your business dealings, please make sure that youhave the decency of calling the individual the next time, so that they know they are being screwed.

I honestly hope it turns out to be a success. There has been a lot of wrangling and debate over this first annual Ufl Springfest. and now that it’s on the eve of occurrence, I have a few comments to make. > 1 was one of the principle combatants in the fight to stage Springfest aruthe Main Street Campus. My argument is as follows: -r 11 More people would come to the Springfest at Main Street; Amherst alienateslhe commuters. 2) The Main Street Campus is still, at least until this summer, the heart of this University. Squire fountain is the focal point and people tend to naturally congregate around it. 3) There ia plenty, of room on Main Street. This v campus has been functional for many years and could easily support a ene-day gala event. t 4) Having the event at Main Street would demonstrate how useless, sterile and inadequate the Amherst Campus is as it stands now. We should not use it (unless we have to) until we have a campus that is useful. When the politicians speak at Amherst there will no doubt be TV cameras capturing (he event, showing the wort0 what a great time we’re ■ : 3 - (, » Amherst? k 6) After the libraries move to Amherst this summer, Main Street will quickly begin fading into the past. Springfest could have been a gallant lost tribute to the Main Street Campus which holds so many fond memories for all of us. I am in no way resisting change or fighting the hands of time. It just seems to me that a Springfest at Amherst will have all the characteristic qualities of that campus it will be isolated, decentralized, probably bureaucratic, considering that food service is handling the concessions and moot importantly, it will tockr the necessary ambience tor sense of a thriving university life-pulse Anyway, there are many far more important issues to be de&lt with. So have a good time and while you are out there tomorrow, check out your SA offices in Talbert. We like know you’re still alive. '— . - - ; .to Director Sheldon (Jopstein of A endemic Affairs.

The compositional side of Braxton draws fine focus in his piece for tuba quintet, an olympian tembred ensemble that draws an introspective portrait of delight. His solo play on contrabass clarinet is a masterly giant step, in more ways than one. The hum of this instrument is deep as Malcolm's laugh from the bottom up.

Gray The Panthers was formed in the early 1970’s by Maggie Kuhn. Her mandatory retirement at the age of 65 angered her enough to form a coalition of senior citizens in the same situation. Since then, the organization has broadened its commitments to include the rights of all people. Their preamble states that they will fight the forces of “ageism, as well as racism and sexism.” Just recently a significant battle was won when a Congressional bill was approved eliminating mandatory retirement j at age 6i. % Roots , -4 The Panthers’ affiliation with University began this approximately one year ago. Scott Danford of the School of Architecture, while teaching a class on housing design for the elderly, began attending the meetings of the Gray Panthers of Buffalo and Erie County. Soon after, he asked" his students to attend to obtain better insights into housing problems which face the aged. The students felt this was a worthwhile endeavor and wished to see the organization on campus. At the same jittie, Kramer was enrolled in the Sociology Department here and lay the taundati fr - •ft The U.S. war machine . " Vietnam: peace has come, but traces of war remain These factors, plus the help of various faculty members now on the Faculty Advisory Board, led to University recognition of the Panthers and affiliation with MFCSA and CAC. According to Ilcnc Gpjjl of CAC, the Gray Panthers is the project of the “older Adults Area" of CAC. the two organizations will continue to be affiliated until the Gray Panthers become successfully Editor’s note: The following article was written by Kwong Nghiem and Michael Pierce, two graduate students at this■ University. established.

Their purpose is to insure the continuation of the ;Ofay Panthers on campus, according to K er last meeting people joined, and many more expressed interest after Tuesday’s party. The list of future events keeps growing too. Already scheduled is a National Chess Championship to be held here, and October will mark the visit of the Gray Panthers’ vivacious Maggie ttuhn. founder, Tt ihe * and h ° the agile square clapping dancers and the spectators last Tuesday, Danford summed it all up. “You see the smiles on the students’ faces, and the dancers having a goodtime,” he said,, ‘‘and yoii realize we’re much more alike than different.” For more information, write Kramer at 115 tittle Robin Road, W.

It is dear that Vietnam still faoes enormous 1 problems and we do not expect to solve them overnight. Those who have waged the aggressive war against Vietnam have the legal and moral responsibilities to help rebuild the country. After the war, the Vietnamese government, according to th£ principles of the Paris accords, has tried to approach the jJS government to solve the problems still existing between the two countries. Different US administrations have responded to this with a hostile attitude, as seen in the bills passed by Congress, and the three vetoes at the United Nations attempting to prevent Vietnam from taking her rightful seat at this world body. Contrary to this attitude and in continuity with the solidarity extended to the Vietnamese during the ytar, many Americans have actively helped in the reconstruction process.

With Whe Nittany Lions leading by Jjyp, runs in the third and having two runners aboard, Onkotz slammed a 400 foot homer into the parting lot. Two innings later, he struck again, this time with the bakes loaded, clearing the fence just over Raimondo*s outstretched glove. The big (6-4. 220 lbs.) lefthander walked in the sixth with the bases loaded giving him eight RBI’s for the game.

Ron Couche up for a two-nm double. Neither Scott Raimondo nor Jinf Wojcik were able tp drive home Couche, so it was up to Buffalo’s Gleg Fisher to preserve the lead on the mound. Fisher came into the game with a 2-5 record and an E.R.A. of - 4.46. He had trouble.in the first inning, as Penn State hit the ball well, but within reach of the Buffalo fielders.

Fisher threw a fastball too high to Dave Delinick, and the first baseman smacked into the trees behind the rightfield fence to tie the game at. 2-2. Fisher settled down to get the next three batters to escape further damage. *'■ Good curve “I was trying to keep it low and away from the lefties,” Fisher commented on the homer. Fisher made one more mistake in the seventh when Simononis hit his 16th homer (in 18 games) to give the Nittany Lions a 4*2 lead. The I chunky righthander struck out five and walked only one in containing the Penn State hitters' with his breaking stuff. Fisher explained his effectiveness. “They’re a fast ball hitting team and I’m not a fast ball pitcher.” Buffalo battled back in the seventh, with Wqjcik leading off with a hard single to center. Ed Durkin followed with another bit, bringing ,up Joe Marcella in a sacrifice situation. He laid down a bunt which Goman fired high to third, allowing Wojcik to arrive safely. Lion coach Chuck Medlar argued the call vehemently and was thrown out of the game.

Governor Ann Krupsak’s office. The proposal; which is currently in the discussiOh stage, could provide U|ja University with considerable financial stimulus according to Ronald Sinzheimer, Assistant Council to the Lt. Governor. If adopted, this proposal would bring in millions of dollars of Federal and State research aid to the University. The proposal is only one part, of a much larger Niagara. Frontier Revitalization Plan according to Sinzheimer. ‘The total program will embrace all of the major economic institutions of Western New York,” he said, “a move that is very important to the economy of Western New York specifically, and to New York State in general ” Economic catalyst The origins of the Revitalization Plan'date back to a community conference organized by the , Lt. Governor one year ago. The purpose of -the conference, explained Sipaheimer, was “to serve aS a catalyst that would bring together the ideas of the economic. community of Buffalo and produce proposals for the economic stimulus package.” The conference suggested the formation of an economic stimulus package that would aid the University; one year later, the plan has progressed to the specific . Energy Center proposal. Funding will come from many State agencies, > according to Sinzheimer, but particularly from the Statp Job Development Authority (JDA) end the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) which will furnish $500,000 annually, University Executive Vice President Albert Somit believes a rough draft is almost ready to be submitted to the JDA which is coordinating the drafting of the plan. Sinzheimer explained that other institutions in the Buffalo community are working on similar proposals designed for the revitalization pjan, buK declined to comment on other specific proposals - ' Masterplan Acting Provost for the Faculty of Engineering Sciences George Lee described the proposed plan as a, “grand scheme in Krupsak’s head,” adding that fee had been asked by Somit to submit a list of all research currently being conducted by the Engineering Department. Somit said he wanted the list to “provide an outline" of this University’s capabilities in this field.’’ Somit believes that because of the Engineering Department’s “excellence*” this University is “ideally suited” for such an assignment. Members of the Erie-County delegation in the State Legislature explained that the selection of this University as the State Center for Energy Research Development will attract—ether energy related industries to the Niagara Frontier and “should provide the impetus for the completion of the Amherst Campus.” -Don 'Shore Springer Report final step A quiet end to four course load Editor’s note: This is the last in a of articles analyzing the history of the four course load. based on the three for three! policy or Carnegie Unit.

His committee’s report, “relatively free of constraints” completed in October 19?7, and frojh SUNY Central in adopted in December of the same determining an adequate credit year, has become the foundation contact hour policy. The report for a flexible credit/contact hour said, “The Camegfe Unit is policy .with one for one generally interpreted as requiring contact hour of class work as an a rather literal equality of credit academic base. hours and contact hours, but it is The major impetus behind the not necessary to do so ..

Beer will be served free of charge while a nominal fee will be levied on hamburgers, chicken, ice cream and, on whatever else is served. > The Student Association (SA) is spending approximately $4500 on Springfest while the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) is giving about $500. Over $2500 of that money is being spent ,on over tOO kegs of beer. Food Service is catering Springfest and will be operating the kegs and the grills. SA officials felt that Food Service workers would be better equipped to handle the huge amounts of food and drink and crowds of people than would student*recruited by the Sringfest Committee. In addition. Food Service will take full legal responsibility for the dispersal of the alcohofand any problems It may cause. The politics behind the evolution of and organization of Springfest are intricate. It eras originally scheduled to be held at Amherst, then moved to Main Street and then back to Amherst. At a SA Senate meeting several weeks ago, its location and planning were discussed for over two hours, much more time than was spent-.on the four resolutions calling for the ad hoc committee to investigate President Ketter. It was finally decided that among other reasons, the Amherst location would help attract the politicians who were invited fo speak in this election year, including Governor .Hugh Carey. Many local bands will definitely provide a lot of music for the event, which will last from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. . “It would be nice if we got 5000 people to come," said one it. • SA official, “but we’d be satisfied with 3500.” ~ „ - was found most often to be five. The committee also addressed what it believed to be the two administrative major considerations for a change in curricular structure; resource allocations (money) and scheduling. Addressing the first issue, Division of the Budget (DOB) resource allocations, the report maintained that the DOB’s views of the present curricular structure were “uncertain but no doubt skeptical.” Since budgets are based on the number of credit hours generated, any increase in the ratio of contact hours to credit hours would be favorable to this University while a decrease would be unfavorable.

Accordingly, ah' increasing of marriages are now financial as well as emotional number partnerships. “The Dual Career Family,” a panel discussion -sponsored by Sunday the Women in Management organization here, concerned itself with special problems which a two-career marriage may encounter. For example, what about, er, the male ego?- Firms are now moving females into higher, many positions; managerial women have better status and salary than do their husbands. This seemed to .be the case for three of the four couples-who none participated, though reported ego injuries. first '-“At I resented her related Richard Kaminski, a bakery utility man recently whose wife was promoted to a Vice Presidency. ‘The people where I work said. working,” ‘Why don’t you quit and let your wife support you’?” he recalled. “But they’re just ignorant. Now it doesn’t bother me at all.” J Robin Mitchell, a sales manager, reacted differently to his wife Bertha’s success. “It’s extremely good for one’s ego to be able to say that one’s wife is a Vice President or whatever,” he asserted. Mitchell admitted to feeling somewhat strange though, at a time when Bertha was earning slightly more than he. “The day I got a raise I rushed home to tell her,” he recalled. “Oh, I forgot to tell you,” she replied, “I got one two days ago.” begun several additional things is that he doesn’t waint anyone to think I’m bringing home the sumiper.” bacon all She continbed, “Marriage is a 50-50 shot.

May, now working as a comnfdrcfeV traffic manager at a local TV station, noted he was apprehensive at the time, but said, “If we had to move again, I’d consider her career before mine. I think it’s great if one partner can do better than another.'She’s a professional, I’m not.” Berth* Mitchell, a Vice President of Citibank, arranged a company transfer from Buenos Aires to Buffalo when her husband was promoted here. “His career was in the formative years and I had a good position anywhere,” she explained.

To. the Editor: The following concerns the motion passed at the 28 meeting of the Undergraduate Student Association calling for the resignation of the President and the related committee report, published in The Spectrum on the same date, leading . lip to that action. Concern has to be expressed when charges remain unsupported and there is a failure to raise substantive issues. Authors of report apparently and selectively‘'contacted between 30 and 40 people,” of which only one agreed to be quoted. AH others cited “fear” as their reason for remaining anonymous. It is expecting a great deal to give credence to such “findings,” especially when the erroneous impression is added that all persons contacted were in agreement. Identified or not, there is also no general indication as to the role, expertise, or background of these members of the University community from whom opinions were drawn. How can anyone effectively respond to either reckless allegations or vague- reference to “administrative style” by phantoms to whom anonymity is guaranteed in advance? Nor did the committee contact the Office of Student Affairs to seek important clarification about charges related to mandatory fees, an area where authority is delegated to me..I know more about this than many others at the University, and am quite willing to discuss all aspects openly. Matters of such far reaching implications should not tolerate hasty, biased conclusions and additional, unsubstantiated claims that the “directive wanting not to comment on widespread disenchantment in Capen Hall” and April - of Ketter To the Editor: It was reported in The Spectrum (Friday, 4/28) and in the Buffalo News (Saturday, 4/29) that the UB Student Senate calls for the removal of Dr. Ketter, one of the principal charges being his 'insensitivities to the needs of the students and their ' educational goals. Through my contact with the President, albeit limited, over the lastjeight years, this charge isopen to serious question. I wish to make several observations which have convinced me that the' quality of education and the well-being of our students have always been an important component of Dr. Ketter’s daily concerns and actions. As an established process, the performance of the: Dean of the Engineering and Applied Sciences was reviewed last summer. Upon being presented all committees’ findings and recommendations, I believe it was Dr. Ketter’s courageous action which led to the appointment of a new. Dean. There was no question in my mind that the quality of engineering education and its direction were at the root of his decision. Dr. Ketter has been keeping in touch with Civil Engineering students by regularly teaching a course in the department. Students working in research areas close to his successfully seek his research Dr. x local chapter Civil Engineers, education and '" perceptive, *■ me textbook on by Dr. Ketter .

Siggelkow Vice President for Student Affairs « To the Editor: The May 1 issue of The Spectrum characterized the Student Senate’s call for President Ketter’s removal at last Friday’s Senate meeting as a decision conceived “rather hastily.” This judgement by The Spectrum‘s editors on the Senate’s actions is rather surprising in tight of an editorial printed close to two weeks ago in the April 17 edition, of The Spectrum. At that time The Spt-ctrurh urged “the U.B. Council to rebiove Ketter from the Presidency of the State Univmify of New York at Buffalo.” The editorial went on to “call on the SUNY Chancelk ird of Trustees to md on the Faculty Association, and join the effort to ' lange. xing years, the time drn’s editors felt the begin demanding the end of Ketter’s term in-office. Now The Spectrum seemingly reverses itself and chides the S.A. Senate for beihg too hasty. This reflects a remarkable inconsistency in The Spectrum’s editorial policy. Was the Senate to hasty in its call for removal of President Ketter? 1 think not. A proposal urging Ketter’s resignation was moved at the April 19th Student Senate meeting. Rather than vote on it immediately, the Senate appointed a committee to review Ketter’s Presidency and report back fp the Senate. When this report was submitted oh April 28 the Sehate once again decided to delay the vote, this time until President Ketter had an opportunity to respond to the charges made against him. It was only after The Spectrum’s “Capen Hall in Turmoil” article, after the Senate Committee’s report, and after Ketter’s reply that the Senate voted by a large majority to call for the removal of University President Robert L. Ketter. irsity community to ed to read Richard the article on the recommend Ketter’s i. ■ ‘ —cnt Senate meeting and confidence” and “removal” presented and made /ever, the majority of immediate call for Dr. warranted.

What is this moment is student unity, - / Quality “subtle warnings to his subordinates not to comment on alleged dissatisfactions severely publicly hampered the committee’s investigation ..This writer, for one, never received from Dr. Ketter any such warning, verbal or Written, and knows of no vice president or other administrator who did. We also read editorially in the same issue of The Spectrum that the “three-membercommittee should be commended for producing such a well conceived and thorough report under immense time constraints.” In the same newspaper we learn that the Chair was still putting “the finishing touches on the document while the meeting war in progress.” Incidentally, what were these time constraints, who imposed them, and why? To compound the injustice, the material included several revealing prejudgments, including Recommendation 2, that “Student Association should actively work to obtain full representation in the review and selection process of the -new (underlining added) University President.” This all reflects a most careless and thoughtless approach toward extremely serious matters and heavily underscores the need for a far greater sense ofindividual and group responsibility. Let us hope that future actions by the newly elected Undergraduate Student Association on such vital matters wilt be accompanied by more careful, scholarly, and Statesmanlike study and review by members of that body. The burden of proof must now rest fully on the shoulders of any individuals who choose to treat lightly justice, fair play, and objectivity elements rarely lacking among college students.

Every SA official should take ten minutes of their time to do this. Additionally, all students, grad as well as undergrad, should be encouraged to do so. a 3) SA officials should do personal lobbying. I see no reason why we can’t confront state officials directly. Some pressure could be kept up over the summer (1 live in Albany and would be quite happy to assist in any way possible.) 4) Other on-campus organizations should be enlisted. The Gjad Student Association, Millard Fillmore students, Faculty-Senate Association, College Council, and other groups, must all join in a concerted effort. SA should encourage support and pledge mutual cooperation from and to all these - groups. __ 3) Finally, a coordination committee should be formed to centralize all aspects of the Dump Ketter movement. All student groups should be represented and eventually, faculty and administrators could be included. 1 am convinced that a movement organized along these lines would succeed, provided it had the total support of SA. We must nqt allow petty bickering to divert us from our goal of assuring Robert Ketter’s resignation or removal. I do pot believe that Richard Mott will become an obstacle to this goal. Throughout the crisis, he has acted with commendable, firmness, and able leadership.

The/ student covered by ,the Ad Hoc it sentiment is already apd further emphasis '• m. , Kevin Brown , �Coverage gaps ■ To the Editor. I was relieved to see that the health insurance finally been noticed by Sub-Board I. The pp discussed in Monday’s article, however, is only one of many. The coverage this year is greatly reduced from last year’s policy, and since the school did not make this clear, many students discovered coverage gaps only after they paid their $67. This policy, for example, does not cover the first two visits to a specialist,' «Ven though the student has been referred to the specialist by the health service. This, failure of the policy is especially serious considering the limited on-campus health service facilities at this University. Most specialists are available only through the referral system. In addition to this gap in coverage, the insurance company refuses to cover medication or treatment if the patient suffered at another time from the same ailment before the policy came into effect. Many policies have these limitations, but last year’s policy did not, and Vfe were led to believe that we were receiving the same coverage for our money this year. The changes should have been made explicit, perhaps by enclosing an explanation of the new reduced coverage in our tuition and insurance bills, warning us before we spent $67 on an extremely limited policy. If, as Tom Van Nortwick says, coverage gaps can only be avoided by microscopic scrutiny of twenty-two pages of fine print in the policies, the students should have been provided coverage gap has with at least a reasonable summary of the policy in their bills. Certainly, they should have been warnedthat the coverage was not the same. The $67 I wasted is about to cost me untold hundreds in specialist, hospitalization, and medication fees. It was not my'(tension to switch insurance companies, but I am expected to pay the price. I will not, however, because 1 cannot. A graduate student stipend cannot absorb medical expenses. I plan to send the threats I receive from collection agencies on to the people responsible for this policy. I also intend to try to get a refund on my policy, from which I have received nothing except claim refusals. I need the money, although $67 won’t even niake a dent in the bills. 1 have also been writing letters, which 1 suggest other people by-passed by the insurance policy might do. I’m sure the problem is wide-spread, and if we refuse to suffer in silence, maybe we can get our bills paid. While entering the lecture by Dr. Prigogine, the distinguished Nobel laureate, at Diefendorf 147 Tuesday evening, I was handed as well as many other people at the lecture that night what first appeared to be an invitation to a “Humanist Lecture Series” talk concerning Aristotle and Political Intelligence. This invitation turned out to be genuine, but when I settled down to read the “invitation,” it turned out most of it, anyway to be nothing but a cheap shot against NYPIRG, calling NYPIRG a bunch of stupid “moral imbeciles” who were supporting a “certifiable lunacy,” i.’e., solar energy. U.S.L.P. proposed, among other things, that NYPIRG’s S.A. budget be cut, and that this world be switched to nuclear power as a symbol of “the human species’ moral and creative capabilities.” I object both to this insult to one of the best and most necessary (both to us as students and us as residents of Planet Earth) organizations on this campus, and to the insult to Dr. Prigogine and the - - — — I would like to point out that in my discussion with The Spectrum staff writer concerning Ridge Lea, absence of my primary concern, LIBRARY, wgs omitted. ;‘ To the Editor: I read an entry in The Spectrum recently concerning the foulness of life in the “militaTy” especially the “Navy.” Like the author I have been there. Not as long as he or she was by any meant but long enough to taste it and to listen. I too am critical - but my arguments and criticism take a different stress. Now ultimately all pertaining to the topic of having men in arms and parading here and there and policing the world represents a waste of nearly 300 billion dollars at present at Ore very minimum and a waste of nearly 300 million barrels of precious petroleum at present annually. But we live in less than a perfect world. We are going to have a fleet on the water and Strategic bombers and men playing with tanks for quite some > time to come. The issue is to have it as effective and nonwasteful and humane as possible. When we view this nation’s entire institutional structure pertaining to the above activity one can naturally say its entire function is to destroy it is said to be founded on the premise that it is necessary to order humans to their deaths. I pray myself that detente lasts. And I believe many naval personnel hope so too. I can say without hesitation that the bulk of the young people that “legal entity” called the Navy receives into its “recruit training commands” it can be proud to have. They are neither close-minded nor brutal and they are people I would never be ashamed to call my friends. And largely the “recruit training commands” are quite successful. They do a great deal with very Utile. Some might see them as nonsensical but I question this viewpoint. They may have much to teach the nation on human nature and methods or organization. “Boot Camp” may be the only aspect of this organization to praise. And there is a definite attempt there to maintain order in a reasoned fashion. On the whole a “recruit” will probably be safer there. than on any city street. And naturally there is a price to this. He or she cannot do whatever he or she damn pleases. But the “fleet” is a great contrast to all the above. It must be a testing ground for how much a human being can endure. Selfishness, brutality, idiocy, disorder, barbarism, and all the other elements of a jungle from top to bottom. I believe in equality of the sexes. I believe our “civilization” might excel much more if this prevailed as an unquestionable precept. I merely do not support ERA because 1 think excessive use of the amendment process sets a dangerous precedent as to how we fulfill essential needs. Soon we will attempt to apply this precept to the “naval fleet.” I want to see it applied. The head Admirals of that organization called the Navy must prepare for its application. It must make its fleet fit for human life. Those who have been there know what I mean. Perhaps then a quality personnel force will comc_ into being which will allow for the resource effectiveness which our fleet operations must meet if they will allow for proper use of scarce resources.

Why should the U.S. Labor Party have to resort to such cheap methods of spreading what is basically hate mail. Why can't they come out and give NYPIRG the finger directly??? About the U.S.L.P.’s case against solar and for nuclear power in general. I have but one question: Why does the U.S.L.P., which, by its name, purport to represent the workers and hence the masses, condone an energy source, which is already much more expensive to use than conventional sources (which admittedly have to go) and which will not, unlike solar, get cheaper as it is employed more, but more expensive instead?? (This refers to nuclear waste storage and nuclear, ptynt decommission and dismantling.) The money one pays for nuclear power goes from the workers (meaning us) straight to the utilities and power corporations, groups whom the U.S.L.P. is thus supporting.

I don’t see any evidence that that has happened.” Faculty to the proposed curriculum change has been mixed. Little change will occur in departments such as Art, while the departments of Geology and H|story have nQ_prcforence for either system. The English and departments favor Biology retention of the four course load. Springer favors the curriculum change. “It's hard to say but 1 don’t think the four course load accomplished its goals; I haven’t seen any evidence of students doing more academically on their own.

The report also recommends that unless a course justifies an extra credit through additional outside classwork, that the University insist on an equal* credit for contact hour policy. The individual departmental step reviews, the first in implementing tjie curriculum change, is still in progress. The original deadline of March 1978 has been pushed back indefinitely according to Springer. He said, “The reviews have been neglected because the departments have not gotten strong directives from the Office of Academic Affairs.” Following faculty evaluation, the departmental reviews and curricular preference are subject to final approval by the DUE and the Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn.

Dr. Desoto Both catcher Phil Ganci and pitcher Mike Betz are beginning to shake off injuries, brightening the picture for UB. “The Doc is back,” his teammates screamed as . * ® ' . ... ,. , , , „ “- . ° l , "°* „ " °“ ™ Ganci, playing DH, ripped a long double to the base of the left field fence in the opener. Ganci was tagged “Dr. Desoto” because he looked like Charlie Chan as a kid., He’ll begin throwing in about a week and should be ready for duty behind the plate by the season’s end. Betz, the third UB tri-captain, worked an inning Friday against Niagara and could be a key factor in UB’s playoff drive. The righthander injured his arm in Florida and, as a result, has pitched only a handful of innings all year. After winning nine of their last ten, the Bulls’ record now stands at 18-15, Today’s doubleheader against Penn State (Peelle Field, 1 p.m.) begins a streak of six double headers in six days for ‘Buffalo. ‘The pressure is on,” said Groh. “If we sweep Penn State, we’ll be in good shape.” If the Bulls are to make the playoffs this year, they will virtually have to come ™«f , ° , “ ’ . S’ . , S hL v; ~ days. ' . . . ™ * . » ' Bulls pitchers Don Griebner and lefty Joe Hesketh were both overpowering. Griebner struck out eight in four innings in the opener, allowing only one hit a bloop single that barely eluded rightficlder N Mark Scarcello’s t Speed kills In the field, Colgate was simply awful. The Red Raiders committed eight errors in the first two innings, opening the gates for eight unearned Buffalo runs. Grounders went right through the legs of the Colgate infielders while the outfielders misjudged liners and dropped easy flies. UB tri-captain Ed Durkin didn’t think much of the Red Raiders. “They’re a high school team,” he , — , diving try. - Hesketh fanned nine In four innings in the second game, although he walked three. The smooth lefty continues to impress everyone- in this, his rookie year. “He’s going to be really super,” said Groh.

Buffalo’s first entry ever in national bowling competition finished its first day of competition in second place, behind Wichita State 3595-3434. The team bowled four games in this Mock in the all expenses paid tournament sponsored by the Pabst Brewing Company. In the second round of games, played on Friday, UB set a national record for a single game, knocking down a total of 971 pins. The record was short-lived, however, as Hillsbrough (Florida) Community College went on to snap if in the next game by finishing with a 980 single game total. The team ended that day of competition, the last day of qualifying play, in third place behind Wichita and Hillsbrough. Liz Wolszak, a UB senior, rolled a 24S that day for the high single game of the tournament. Baker style The top six out of twleve teams competing advanced to the semi-finals on Saturday. A new style of keeping score, Baker scoring, was used in both the semifinal and final rounds as the squad played a total of twelve games. A rotating system.of play began with each team member bowling a frame apiece. The lead off woman rolled the first and sixth frames, the next the second and seventh and so on. This shortens the game immensely and also yields a more competitive match. Scores fluctuate readily in this type of game, as UB fell to fifth overall but came back with two strong games to make the finals. The top three finishers, Hillsbrough, Wichita and UB, respectively, went oi\,4o the nationally televised finals on Saturday. Buffalo’s luck ran out in the finals however against Wichita as the team could not throw a strike in their two games of Baker style play. Wichita, on the other hand, put together a string of five strikes to take the set of games 390-306. Coach Jane Poland felt “Wichita deserved to win; we just didn’t play up to'our potential in those games.” The coach, however, was pleased. “I’m exceedingly proud of the girls. They played extremely well for a team never before in this kind of competition.” Wichita wins it Wichita, the defending champion, went on to beat Hillsbrough in the final set of games 403-384. The Wichita team is much more experienced in high pressure play as they were winners in 1975 and ' $ 1977 and runners up in 1976. Individually, besides Wolszak’s 245 game, Royal Cindy Cobiirn finished fourth out of67 bowlers in individual-averages with a 182.7. Sue Fulton finished eighth overall with a 178.4 average. The Royals were also represented by Patti Schafer, Marylee Branieki and Maryann Buboltz. Freshman Terry Strassel, the seventh Royal in contentionfor a spot on the team, was not allowed to make the trip as the player limit . was set at six per team.

Celebration in this country begins with a sunrise observance where the sun first touches the east coast in Maine. Parks will display solar energy gathering devices in New York and homes on Long Island that use solar heat will be open to public inspection. A “sunrise solar spectacular” will be held in Denver and in Seattle. In Chicago a huge greenhouse serving as a vegetable garden for inner city residents will be dedicated and in San Francisco activities include a solar magic show. The Main Street Campus will be the site of Buffalo’s “Sun Day” from 4-6 p.m. in the fountain area (239 Hayes Hall if it rains). All displays and lectures are sponsored by the LIB Sun Day Committee. of solar energy.

Sun Day is. being organized by the sartie people ’who organized Earth Day, publicizing ecological consciousness across the world in the spring of 1970. “While Earth Pay brought attention to the alarming ecological problems, Sun Day brings the solution to the energy crisis,” commented Steve Magel, committee member for Sun Day at this University. The solution seems simple. The input of solar power on the U.S. land area is almost l.'OOO times the power output. The radiant energy of the ,sun can be converted to many forms of energy after it strikes the earth. Wind power, the power of falling water and tides, biomass (plants for food, heat and gas) and direct power from the sun are all forms — You have an unerring instinct about what’s appropriate For what occasion.

He said he “has never shied discusring” the away from situation, and played down the gravity of stating r* - - - ' vV. Services (QLS), the student pharmacy, and buses to Albany. He explained that he blocked money for NYPIRG because his ‘feeling is that the money should be used for this University.” Ketter said he was forced to intervene in the Co-op case when Carl Cavage made a formal request for its accounting report and found that no books were kept, The mention of Cavage’s name brought jeers, and hisses from lh|jpi crowd. He said he rescinded Hie dosing of the Co-op By Vice President for Finance and Management Ed Doty, and that a monthly income ceiling of $10,000 for the store was agreed upton. Commenting on GLS, Ketter said he saw “nothing wrong with representation for not for organizations, but individuals.” When the floor was opened/or questions, Ketter was often , assailed by students, who began many of their questions with long his organization by claiming that preambles.

Ketter also repeated his refusal to mandate that grad students have a role in departmental decision-making a persistent GSA demand, Although he personally favors such a role, Ketter said he can only “strongly encourage” departments to allow grad students more influence. “I feel that I should not mandate but only suggest,” he said. The President emphasized his efforts to include students in decision making here. He recited ‘University-wide University” - — SUNY Buffalo’s “mission” or educational purpose within the state system is determined 'uf Albany also, Ketter said. “By definition, Buffalo’s mission is to be a graduate and professional center with a sufficient ''-Graduate program to make -—•ms viable,” he ■■VfS' ' smokey, humid room. Many grad Students resented what they saw as the President’s portrayal of himself as powerless. The feeling ftiat KetterWas being deliberately evasive prompted one questioner to ask the President: “Just what are responsible for? On what issues should, we go to you?” Ketter re-stated his role as an “interpreter” of guidelines; said that he must “formulate a budget in keeping with the SUNY master plan”; and that he is charged with defining a “mission statement" under same the type of Albany-rooted ‘ ‘ - “The President is coordinator, a persuader,”'Ketter observed. “He cannot say; ‘We’re going to do this.’ Ketter several times sketched the University’s division into the ructed him V Health Sciences headed by its *’■ Vice President Parinill and the ions were op “core campus” where Bunn has Michael Sart control over academic matters. ic of the Pres Health Sciences funds are assigned that Ketter very tightly to the various units such as the Medical School, the that Dental School, etc. When a sc.” acuity member leaves the Med chool, (or example, he is it can placed immediately. i.” In the core campus, Ketter lained, money and positions between units.

Ketter made another important distinction between “hard money” or State funded stipends and “soft money” or research supported grants. Grad st«dents can expect to be supported on soft money for only the length of the grant, he cautioned. Soft money is not under direct control of the University, i.e. it cannot be shifted to departments in need, Most grad students in the Health Sciences, Ketter reasoned, are supported on soft money. Thus, the state carries a smaller burden there. , . . t * • •* long-awaited Academic Plan. “I have consistently asked for an academic plan from this University since 1972,” Ketter said, reviewing the failed attempts and plethora of committees in between. ‘There have been only six "Universities in the country that have successfully developed an Academic Plan, though many have come out with what amount to budgetary documents.” Out of my hands • Nonetheless, Ketter told the audience that Bunn’s office will this week issue the beginning of an Academic Plan. Input from “all sectors” of the University including students will be sought before the plan in finalized, he said. 1 The pattern that emerged from the two-hour exchange saw students guesting action by Ketter and the President either explaining why such action was out of his hands, or reviewing what steps had already been taken. The students obtained few pledges or promises from Ketter Many participants in the left the room questioning unsatisfied with the President’s responses. “I’ve been here since 1970,” one despondent student told The Spectrum, “and he was giving this speech back then.” Also, several students pointed to what they saw as a deliberate Ketter attempt to stifle programs such as American Studies, Women’s Studies and Puerto Rican, Bhcfe and Native American Studies. “He’s been against us since the one beginning,” Women’s Studies College member charged. - — , Several grad students asked the President to comment on their unfulfilled hopes for the University. Attracted to SUNY Buffalo by programs on the upswing, these students described the disillusioning environment they encountered upon arrival. A student in Management and One in Clinical Psychology informed the President of thier departments’ looming loss of accreditation, "What 1 want to know,” said the Management student, “is should I, stay at this University?’'’ Ketter assured both questioners that he would do everything in Ws power even “steal” funds from the University’s endowment to safeguard the accreditation of both programs. Many of Ketter’s answers were explicit. well documented histories of various problems and t he particular administrative stages the issue had passed through. Typical of this was the President’s detailing of the - — , . sign-off authority on anything,” academic 1— his ’ ; Grad students oyer external control the University runs, Ketter pointed to' DOB’s order several years ago to trim the faculty/student ratio of the School of Nursing. “DOB has He cited five other SUNY schools that have contracts with NYPIRG, none of which have met with opposition from their Presidents. ,, v-.'■' in on the four course load. Jiusto claimed that before test semester’s release of the Springer Report, which calls for a move away from the four course load, as an academic base, Ketter had said the system was in jeopardy due to the Division of the Budget’s (DOB) dissatisfaction with it. Yet the Springer Report questions the academic value of the four course load and sets aside fears of DOB discontent. Ketter responded that many officials within the University were unhappy with the four course load and that repeated requests wen made tor “an evaluation of the' experiment.” Giving a detailed history of the four course load, he cited several gross abuse* of J1thh since ’ p*fa inconsistency policy Administration’s , continued from this, that is wish to appropriate. I looked at this and �A FORUM TO REMEMBER Some of the key participants in Friday's Student Senate meeting in Haas Lounge. University President Robert Ketter, the principle L, figure, is pictured second from left. il Photo* by Pam Jenson and Larry McNiace its inception in 1968. "He said he fully subscribed to the four course idea when it was initiated and that for example, was it. However, other departments did not made the appropriate changes, resulting in a devaluation of Engineering, repackaged to accomodate v : credits here. One of the most heated debates of the afternoon occurred when Don Berry, also a Co-author of the Report, charged the President with unceremoniously disposing of the Day Care Center, and quoted a number of remarks he claimed Ketter made on the subject, specifically “there is nothing that says a pregnant woman .must come to this retorted University?’ Ketter that Berry had angrily “selectively” lifted his statements and repeated his assertion that the Day Care Center is “not tied to an academic program," and therefore, does not necessarily have a place on a college campus. Not disproportionate Among the tmost' acute crises facing this.University has been the purported “brain drain,” which has seen tbe exodus of many distinguished faculty members. Ketter;,- asserted that reports of extensive departures have been greatly exaggerated by the local press which, he claimed, has failed to publicize the comparable influx of quality professors. “There are individual, faculty members who have decided they wish to go elsewhere,” the President stated. ‘They are not disporportionate to the people we are attracting.” He said when someone leaves this University, it is page one news in the local papers, but when it snags four top scholars from Johns Hopkins University, it “winds up on page 23.” Ketter said that many in the academic world are calling the move here by the four distinguished English : Students sit shoulder to shoulder, fill aisles to hear President Ketter Spurred by recent charges of widespread disenchantment in the Administration with you’.*’ He conceeded that insisted that he has remained open and approachable. - professors - Asked why this has occurred, Ketter replied, “it came down to personnel. You do not take on a Ph.D. program without the addition of faculty personnel and there were no funds to add personnel." Bunn backed Ketter not everyone' was happy with every one of .tup decisions but from Johns Hopkins “the greatest coup of the decade.” Ketter continued to defend the academic quality of this institution when ope~ student castigated him for “just churning us out.” The student charged that Ketter does not address the school’s problems and that “there is no hero, no vision romanticism.” The President replied that “something must be going right,” in view of the acclaim University has the received for its Ph.D. programs. The President claimed that' a recent New York State review of doctoral programs disclosed that “there is no institution in New York State that has a higher rating.” He reported that only and Rochester Columbia Universities received equally high accolades.* Criticism reverted from general to specific when the President was questioned about the reported widespread disenchantment with his Administration, and the “atmosphere of fear” that unnamed sources have claimed 1 permeates Capen Hall. Ketter stated that he has received “widespread letter* saying ‘we’re ' interest rate. He said everything depends on the Governor who will want construction to begin when he makes his campaign swing here in August. “I’m sorry to be so crass about it,” Ketter remarked, “but that seems to be the case.” Squire Hall organizations Ketter said, “There is no reason for any of the groups in Squire Hall to worry that their space will be taken.” Racism'. The President admitted that racism exists at all levels of the Uiuvcrsity and called percent the 12 minority representation here “abysmally low.” Claimed Ketter, “I’m doing whatever I can to encourage hiring at the minority departmental level." SCATS Addressing the failure of the University to produce a SCATE (Student Course and Teacher Evaluation) form since 1976 Ketter saidi “It wfl] take a re-assignmeht of funds,” which he claimed will be in Bunn’s hands. Bunn said that SCATE will be “put into place” and will be carried out by the yct-to-be-sclected Dean of Undergraduate Education. ’Never unapproachable’ “I am positive that there arc individuals who do question decisions that are made,” he aaid. But he averted that they have “never found me to be unapproachable and not allowed to be challenged.” Ketter stated that many of his unpopular budget decisions concern allocations and acknowledged that “some feel that I am not the most comfortable person to work with.” Ketter said he had given “no consideration” to his reappointment as President but was firm in ms conviction that he would not resign. vehemently He and categorically denied that he had ever told his Vice Presidents not to talk to The Spectrum. In response to a charge that he had ordered a code of silence, Ketter amused and annoyed the audeince when he openly asked two of his Vice Presidents (Bunn, and Student Affairs head Richard Siggelkow) whether he had ever told them not to speak to the student press. Ketter discounted the legitimacy of the SA Presidential Report Review Committee it “a labeling collection of clippings from The Spectrum.” He report further called the “unspecific in its criticism” but claimed, "If someone wants to vote ‘no confidence’ then that is their perogative.” He explained that part of the reason he has been critized so much is that “1 am a clear and visible target and the University is a clear and visible target.”, r SA Senate consider the future effects and real significance of a vote of no confidence. Mott and Baum favored instead a resolution With specific charges against Ketter. “I think that would serve much more purpose,” Baum said. At'this point, Don Berry, also a member of the committee, gave the first hint that much more being serious action was contemplated. Berry called the President’s reponse to the report “wholly inadequate” and felt that enough evidence against Ketter had been heard “to warrant action the vote of no beyond confidence.” -r-continuM from pag« 1— • • • called for the resignation of Ketter. “A vote of no confidence, coupled with a call for resignation, is exactly what we should do,” Hartzband pledged. “ft is absolutely essential that we resignation.” call for his Hartzband felt that Ketter was outwardly against students and that the Senate would be more than justified in requesting his ouster. His proposal to amend the motion passed narrowly, giving the first indication that most of the Senate favored a call for the President’s resignation. , - . - Opposing sides After several speeches in support of Berry’s sentiments, SA Vice President Karl Schwartz stepped down from the Chair to address the Senate. “I think we have to consider very seriously what we are doing,” Schwartz said, uring that any vote of no confidence be looked at only as a beginning to more, thorough, formal action. “A vote Of no confidence will not effectuate change,” he observed, stressing the need for further investigation of the President. Thus the Opposing sides took PresideAt Mott, Vice shape. Presidents Schwartz and Baum and Senator Jiusto all favored continuing the inquiry into the President and holding off on a call although they were for removal willing to express no confidence that evening. Senators Berry, Hartzband, and Lew Rose along with Pat Young, also a member of the committee, all began to push for stronger action than a no .v confidence vote, At this point,’ Hartzband proposed an amendment to the original motion. The amendment * - A potpourri The forum touched upon a number of other topics vital to students and the University: American Studies: The Administration has. refused to offer a Ph.D. program for American Studies and has scaled; down the department’s staff. on this points Construction: The President said the roadblock to construction stems from DOB’s refusal to build new projects until those which are temporarily financed can be permanently financed at a lower - -• , v Crucial resolution Hartzband’s amendment began a long parade of parlimentary wrangling. Three attempts to separate the “no confidence” and “call for resignation” issues failed by narrow margins. The opposing sides debated i. earnestly in an attempt to win over Senators who might still have been on the fence. Since the two issues remained bonded together. Senators who favored a vote of no confidence but were unsure about a call for Ketter’s resignation were caught in the middle only half favoring one of the most crucial resolutions in recent SA hisotry. The debate wore on. Several attempts to “call the question” and vote on the matter failed. from the Reporters Courier-Express and Buffalo Evening News watched patiently, prepared to type up the results of the meeting for the front page of the next morning’s editions. The debate boiled down to a single question: when would be the most effective time to call for the President’s resignation? SA leadership particularly Mott and Baun felt that more facts could be garnered, more options euld be pondered, and more student input — - - be sought. .could The prc-resignation forces felt that more than enough evidence was in, that a call for resignation was largely symbolic anyway and therefore would have a greater effect if rendered that evening. Many Senators believed that to leave Haas Lounge with only an expression of no confidence would not reflect the true feeling of the Senate and the student • body. At about 8:15 p.m., after repeated attempts to keep delate alive failed, Schwartz announced a roll call vote on the motion. Haas Lounge finally fell silent. One by one. Senators registered their sentiments on the performance of President Robert L. Ketter. The final tally was 16—10 with one abstention. Eighteen Senators were not'present for the final vote, according to Mott. Though a call for resignation was debated through! the evening, the actual wbrding of the resolution called for the removal of Ketter by the Board of Trustees. After the meeting, Mott called the Senator's actions “irrationa' and illogical," He also questioner the- significance of the vote. “When 16f of 45 vote for something like this, I wouldn’t call it an overwhelming mandate.” However, Mott said he would carry out the resolution by sending letters to the Board of Trustees and Chancellor Clifton Wharton sometime this week. The standing committee will continue the investigation of the President’s performance, he.said. Mott’s sentiments ran so strongly against the Senate’s actions that he vowed: ”1 will not allow my name on the resolution calling IKeller's) for his removal.” Monday* i May 1978 The Spectrum Page seven . . r • �TORIAL information Blank The centerfold pages of Wednesday’s The Spectrum not only does severe disservice to itself and its readers, but worse, displays a facistlc attitude Jay Rosen’s by not bothered particularly I was whoever is article oh the dissatisfaction with President Kctter on the part of the editors and staff lightly. not use the term-“facistic” it do hold, 1 responsible. some and faculty administrators W hkh non-information, for seemed, at the time, better to reveal the The Spectrum has disseminated President dissatisfaction even from unnamed sources, than to the purpose of persuading its readers that of hodge-podge be Since the names, Ketter should removed. withhold that information for lack of specific especially since fear was the stated reason for the old headlines and copy was not on the Editorial Page, we assumed it had some bearing on fact and on tock its only purpose But in printing such an article, and subsequent concrete information; it did not irresponsibly. so, was to and to do Spedtmm enflame, The articles about or against Ketter, ft' would be far better, next time, simply to implicitly assumes a responsibility greater than accuse two blank print pages and stamp them those who ordinarily taken, precisely because to remain anonymous.

The American Studies-Program has sent the following letter to all SUNY units inviting cooperative initiative for the fullest service to the students and the people of New York. SUNY/Buffalo may soon offer new opportunities in advanced graduate studies which will include the fields of Native American, Puerto Rican and Women’s Studies. This proposal for a PhD in American Studies has been approved by all relevant faculty committees and is currently under consideration by President Kettcr. A distinguished faculty group in consultation with colleagues around SUNY and nationally has developed this proposal to meet statewide needs and to bring into focus perspectives on the U.S. and its people. It offers an imaginative use of existing resources at a time when educational initiatives are badly needed. The program will provide access to graduate- center research and teaching in fields related to the diverse histories and experiences of major constituencies in the State of New York. Among potential doctoral students are those presently working in undergraduate or MA programs throughout SUNY. The Program in American Studies brings a social and historical perspective to the study of America and its relation to the world. The program’s unique emphasis on interdisciplinary work and on the combination of study and fieldwork, builds on the converging strengths ofits constituent units. Wow! Montezuma SnowMasT with Fresca: Even a moose can bear it Native American Studies Education has been viewed negatively by Indian people because the process has been oriented to the needs and functions of the dominant society, serving as a process to remove the vital energy of the surrounding society. There is a source of knowledge that is irreplaceable in the areas of the humanities, natural environment, and cosmic vision that is unique to the indigenous people of the continent. The history of the Native American Studies Program within the American Studies Department is one of growth, achievement, and service to thejjcadefnic structures of the University and to the Indian communities that supply our students. A PhD program would offer Native Americans an opportunity to secure leadership positions in critical institutions where with full credentials they can play a major role in working for social change and cultural survival in their communities. Puerto Rican Studies >• • Since 1970, Puerto Ricah Studies and its Overseas Academic Unit in Puerto Rico has been one of the leading programs in the field, offering students a full course of cross-cultural study, fieldwork and research projects lead iing to a BA or an MA in American Studies/Puerto Rican Studies in the Faculty of Arts and Letters. "Pbr the past eight years over 35 MA’s have been awarded by Puerto Rican Studies and over 250 students have spent one or IjatA-Sfemeste/s in,the extension program in Puerto Rico. These are only some of the candidates who would now be served by a PhD program that can offer Spanish speaking people of the State otNew York the opportunity to enter critical fields and professions where they are badly needed.

Women’s Studies Women’s studies has experienced phenomenal growth in the past eight years- in both terms of courses taught and research undertaken. This growth demands PhD programs if the field is to achieve its potential andjhave a lasting impact on education. No PhD in women’s studies is available in New York State and few are available nationally. The women’s studies component of American Studies is uniquely situated to meet this need. As one of the oldest women’s studies programs in the country, it is a vital center in the development of both curriculum and research. Graduate students here have a two-fold opportunity: theyistudy with faculty who have shoWn leadership in the development of women’s studies and they actively contribute to the continued excellence and growth of the undergraduate program, This is a model for implementing the SUNY Master Plan, The Responsive University, which specifically encourages the development of Women’s Studies, Puerto Rican Studies, Native American Studies and Black Studies and advances the possibilities of SUNY-wide cooperation. Your affiliation is strongly urged. We hope you students, faculty, staff and administrators see ways in which this program can serve your interests.

Ketter ‘no confidence’ vote urged; Senate waits by Jay Rosen Managing Editor An ad-hoc Student Association (SA) j. committee has recommended that the Student Senate declare “no confidence” in University President Robert L.

The reason for this failue to establish a unified community at U.B. is generally seen as two-fold: Firstly, the financial problems which have plagued this University; and secondly, Ketter’s personal administrative policies and ‘ style."'The interpretation as to which of these two factors plays the predominant role in this failure to achieve a campus community is what distinguishes various groups. Although a strict consensus Of opinion is impossible to formulate, it is possible to construct a general picture of the tone held by various constituencies of the school, regarding the University and specifically President Ketter. The general view of administrative members is that Ketter’s administrative style is one which presents an image problem. Administrators feel his abrasive style and fierce dedication to the University cause him to appear harsh and unapproachable to those outside his usual sphere of contact. Most maintain, however, that his appearance is .not wholly reflective of reality. Doubts do exist as to his ability to formulate long-range plans, yet it is generally felt the restricted budget conditions preclude any President from setting forth peat directions and goals, In preparation of this Report, we have tried to convey the actions of President Robert 1. Kettar. This Report includes Dr. Ketter’s dealing with administration, faculty and especially students. Because of the constraints, this committee was unable to fUUy investigate every aspect of Robert Ketter’s administration. However, this committee doe's feel that this Report conveys sufficient information to enable the Student Association Student Senate to make a well thought out decision in regards to the University's President's performance in office. ‘ * - ; We hope that the Senators will weigh all the evidence, as wall as Dr. Ketter's response, seriously and will give thoughtful consideration to the recommendations at the i, conclusion of this Report. —Presidential Review Committee ' The administration policies and decisions of Dr. Robert L. Ketter during his tenure of office provide a history.upon which an evaluation of his performance can be based, At the time of Dr. Ketter’s appointment, there existed a strong sentiment on the SUNYAfi College Council for a “law and .order'.’man who would,restore peace to a volatile University and improve the failing University•Community' relations. Ketter’s conservative background as Chairman of the “Hearing Committee on Campus Disruption” along with his prior experience as Chairman of the Engineering Department and Vice President for Facilities Planning, were sufficient qualifications to recommend his ; ' - "T The picture from the faculty position is much different, however. More outspoken, but generally reflective of faculty feeling about Ketter, is Dr. Larry Chisolm of the American Studies Program. Chisolm feels that Ketter’s appointment. administration has been one of dismantling positive Upon assuming office, President Ketter was faced with achievement made in the Meyerson Presidency proceeding two major tasks: Ketter. Rather than derpenuate an “open and diverse of educational atmosphere” Chisolm sees Ketter as University 1) The Restoration of establishing “vertical rather than horizontal authority” in Buffalo-Community Relations; 2) The Restoration of a Unified, Intellectual the University, and feels Ketter has been “centralizing authority and control at the top.” Chisolm supports his Community of Campus. It is generally recognized that President Ketter was statements with much evidence from his own department, successful in achieving the first of these goals, i.e.,that of He claims that Ketter -considers his department an re-uniting the campus and surrounding community. Under “activist” one, therefore has denied the American Studies Ketter’s guidance the University was able tp heal the rift Doctoral Program due to personal academic politics. He which had developed as a result of the campus unrest in cites the fact that despite two outside reviews during the previous decade. Ketter was able-to restore confidence 1973—74 finding both the Undergraduate and Graduate in the University in a relatively short amount of time, and J*rograms of tne American Studies Program excellent and the sense of trust haa continued tOLgrow through today. I recommending establishment of a Doctoral Program, the In his second goal, however, It is widely recognized that, proposal was refused. The refusal by President Ketter was Ketter has fallen well short of establishing a unified biased on the fact that “additional, resources were Intellecual Community on Campus. Problems which are unavailable.” Chisolm says, however, that no additional synttomatic of this failure include a demoralized money or resource was ever requested. In addition, the administration, faculty and student body, the Ipck of existing faculty were nationally recognized recently by creative and innovative programming, little feeling of two Rockefeller Fellowships and one Guggenheim <75 (■section and goals as a University, the “Brain Drain,” i.e., percent of all such Fellowships at this University). Despite the widely excellence of this program, the faculty number his been cut from 12 to 9 since Ketter’s term began. Chisolm also details a procedure he terms frequent and reflective of Dr. Ketter's administrative style. He describes his being “called in on the carpet” before President Ketter, Executive Vice President Albert Somit and a lawyer, without Notice for explanation. Chisohn feels that actions like this on Dr. Ketter’s part is calculated to intimidate and keep people in line. He credits, as do other faculty members, this style of administrative leadership as the cause of the “Brain Drain.” The general opinion of the faculty is that the President has caused a breakdown in the campus community by “destroying much of the high morale and diversity of educational programs at the University." Chisolm feels “It is not too late to support many of the outstanding elements of this great University,” but he seems to speak for the faculty «a a whole when he says this can only be accomplished through new leadership. In 1968 when plans for the implementation of the four were fonmdWpd,' Its academic merits were espoused by many. Claude JB. Welch, then Undergraduate Dean, said, ’The change (from the Five Course to the Four Course semester) would put more premium on good teaching,” (The Spectrum, April 25, 1973). Dr. Ketter himself chaired a University Committee that recommended a Four Course system, (The Spectrum, February 25, .1974). By 1970 things had changed. The four course load was coming under attack by the recently appointed President. President Ketter’s position at that time was that he supported the Four Course Load, but that “the merits of the Four Course Load will have to be demonstrated to the proper budgetary committees in Albany,” (The Spectrum, October 14, 1970). This quickly became the administration’s stance, lasting through the mid-1970s. The Four Course Load was said to be well-founded, (indeed, Ketter acknowledged that contact hours could not be a measure of education) the only question was whether it could be justified in Albany. 'Ey 1978, however, this line of argument has become replaced. Now the question is, has the concept worked as it was theorized. This line of enquiry reached a negative conclusion when the administration accepted the Faculty Senate’s Springer Report, alt of which was accepted without student input. The administration justifies revetting’ back to the traditional Five Course Load by claiming that “no data which might support the present (Four Course] system has been undertaken since its course load - ‘ v ’- —continued on pat* W- �man Hii ■ y I. \ ‘ Voter registration drive i > ■ >4 ) i ...

In 1974, the Academic Affairs Council the body which called the four course load a failure proposed a system which would assign one credit hour for each contact, or classroom, hour. According to then Professor of Political Science Claude Welch, the Council failed to address the very real question of whether the quality of education call, in fact, be gauged by the number of hours spent in the classroom. But the call for a flexible credit policy was heard persistently throughout the faculty and administration for several years. It was widely felt that credits should reflect the intensity of the coursework and that some faculty members had put no extra effort into courses which were now worth one more credit. The desire to equate credits and course content eventually led to the 1977 Springer report, the which recommended establishment of the “one for one” credit-contact hour system. NEXT: The Springer report examined. and that “ho decline in the breadth or quality of a BA degree” had resulted.

The biggest drop in applications here came from Nassau County. “Again," Shellum said, “this i? typical of the whole State system. For some reason Nassau County did not have that applications.” Keeping enrollment up drop 4 in tuition deposits, which are due on May 1st, are running ahead of last year’s figures. Shellum attributed this increase to “a greater seriousness of purpose among high school graduates.” Shellum said that SUNY Central reported a 20 increase single percent in applicants (single applicants are those who only apply to one school). “We are accepting most, if not all, of those who only apply the here,” Shellum reported. Another reason for the rise in ntuitipp,, deposit?,., according to Shellum, is that the University is accepting more applicants this year. Last'year Buffalo accepted a ,f. lower percentage of applicants arid was hurt when the number who actually enrolled fell short of the projected figure. “We are accepting more students than last year and part of the reason is last year’s experience,” said. Shellum “However, you must realize that we are entering a buyer’s market in higher education.” Shellum explained that for the first time in recent memory the number of college age students has dropped. “This is projected to continue into the 1990’s, thus making it relatively easier for students to get into the college of their choice,” he commented. — Some twHI ofhidc Shelhnn added1 that m«re applicants are beifte accepted; this year in order to keep etmrihhent up. “There is some pressure from' Albany to show woeed for the Shelton money we are said. “If we are going to have the' Amherst campus completed, enrollment must stay up. If we only have 20,000 enrolled, more buildings might be cut.” As usual, applications from outside the Buffalo area doubled those from within the 8th Judicial District (Western New York). Additionally, by Faculty Senate order, fifty percent of every freshman class must come from the 8th District. “By some strange twist of luck, we have not had to lower our standards for. Buffalo applicants in order to achieve the fifty-fifty quota,” said Shellum. He believed that applicants from the Buffalo area compromised the majority of, the single applicants f hereu “That partially explains why we have not had to institute a different admissions system for those from the 8th Judicial District;” he said. - PARK EDGE Whiskey 80° Gin 80° The flamboyant Michael Pierce was elected to the UB College Council in a student-wide election last Wednesday. The student representative to the Council has come into focus recently with rumors of turmoil in the Ketter Administration, since the Council a body of business and community leaders has the power to issue recommendations on the fate of the University President. The student rep has no vote, but attends all meetings and is privy all information to concerning- the University — — - - Administration. Pierce soundly defeated his nearest rival Tanina Liammari by a margin of some fifty votes’ 126 to 73. The tallies for the — other candidates were: Gilbert Lawrence, 38; Tim Lovallo, 36; and James D.

He claims he’ll develop a “cabinet” of eight deputy representatives, each with a particular in responsibility University governance.

How? “Conduct my office in a formal manner. |t is time that the Council seriously reckon with, and respond to, the Michael Pierce, student rep on Col legs Council ; student representative.'’ Pierce’s other major concern is that the student representative not be afraid to bring forward a dissenting minority opinion to insure that the College Council does not give an “illusion of * unanimity.” DemoDay: a chance to bitch, wail,complain-and hang out "Off our rockers, acting crazy: And with the right medication, we won't be lazy.

And now that the snow is gone and the days are sunny and warm, the bicycle enthusiasts return. Assistant of Professor Geography Susan Hanson would like ,to see people accept the bicycle as a viable means of transportation, not expressly as 4 leisure-time activity. She IS chairwoman of the bicytle subcommittee under the Niagara Frontier Transportation Committee (NFTC), made up of representatives from different agencies, such as the DOT (Department of Transportation), as well as citizen members from the Erie' and Niagara County region. The goals of the bike committee are to promote the as a mode of bicycle transportation in this area by making it safe to ride via bikeways. About 80 percent of the car trips in urban areas don’t acceed five miles, Hanson maintained. “If facilities were biking safe implemented, gas would be saved, in addition to less noise and Uninformed legislators For at least seven years, citizen groups have been wanting to establish bikeways, according to Hanson, but politicians aren’t convinced that their constituents want this. No money has. yet been allocated for bikeways. “It’s important for people who want to use their bikes to let politicians want safer they know conditions,” Hanson stated. u At the present time, the NFTC wants to draw up a bikeway master plan for the two county region (Erie and Niagara). “The problem is, we have to get the money first,” she noted. Vince Barbera of the NFTC reported that about $50,000 is needed to hire a consultant for the master plan. “But,” he added, “the government is wilting to give us $40,000 of that sum if the legislators in the local area can be convinced to allocate their share.” If the money isn’t allocated locally the federal government won’t contribute a dime, he said. The additional $10,000 is broken down between Erie ($7500) and Niagara ($2500). Barbera stated that two bikeways are currently being planned in the Buffalo area. One would link the Amherst and Main Street campuses here. The other, dubbed the “Riverwalk,” would run from the Erie Basin Marina to Riverside Park and allow only bikers and pedestrians.

Jay Rosen has a unique style of reporting which irritates some people, but he is almost always accurate and to the point. He doesn’t back away from issues, and he has the experience that Mr Seitelman insists upon. Anyone who considers the current administration must not recall the many times that the word was applied to Dennis Delia’s administration. 1 am glad to see officers who get along with each other and don’t let personal feuds get in the way of their common goals. If the new administration is becoming a clique, then why is Rich Mott calling for greater student participation, and for not appointing any elected officials to any appointed positions, in order to further that end? Overall, 1 think that Mr. Seitelman’s portrayal of SA is completely inaccurate and off the wall, and I call on all students to get more involved in SA, to see what it’s really like and to change things if you don’t commitments. like them. After reading Dave Seitelman’s letter of April 21st,it looks to me as though he’s got a bad case of sour grapes. I voted for him in the March election, and was disappointed by his vanomous ramblings. In working with the current administration as a Senator and member of the Finance Committee I have found them equal to the challenge of student government. All of his accusations were completely inaccurate, and someone has to respond to them: While it is true that the current SA officers in many cases lacked experience (and I voted against them because of that) they have proven themselves to be competent, concerned and dedicated in dealing with issues that concern students. The previous administration has offered them little assistance, and besides, who wants a continuation of the old Delia-Seiden-Lessoff policies. 1 do not question Mr. Lessoff’s intelligence, but having observed him at Senate meetings and after reading his own vacuous whinings in The Spectrum I question his ability to hold a position of - - , — .

In spite of this, the Board of Directors of Sub-Board One, Inc. has seen fit to raise the price of tickets for all student organization events by 15%. “The need for this is very evident,” they claim, since “the ticket office sports an annual operating deficit due to the volume of tickets utilized by these events and the number of extra hours needed to service this programming.” Recently, referendum (which Admittedly, the wording of that statement is vague; still, as I read it, the “volume of tickets” should mean a corresponding volume of money taken in, and the “number of extra hours needed to service this programming” is what the students here decided to pay for when we voted a $3.00 increase in the mandatory fee. Why, then, a 15% increase in the price of tickets? Why weren’t students,asked if they wanted a $3.15 rise in the mandatory fee? This simply seems like another senseless erosion of the democratic (?) student decision-making process at this University, and a corresponding erosion of the quality of life here. Joan Evans Guest Opinio About two months from now will come the anniversary of the death of Richard Long. Halfway , between now and then Justice Norman Stiller will pronounce sentence on the three men convicted of criminally negligent homocide in his death. “Criminally negligent” is an'appropriate phrase for what the entire Long case has become. Seven perfectly ordinary men decided to celebrate the next day’s wedding of Richard Atti so naturally they did the sensible, responsible thing: they got drunk. Why? Simply, when you’re drunk you’re supposedly not responsible for your actions. You can have a great time doing whatever your heart desires without worrying about the consequences. After all, whatever you do it’s the booze’s fault, not yours, right? The fact that we drink deliberately to get into that condition doesn’t matter. It’s a socially accepted excuse for doing anything we wouldn’t normally have the guts to do but often have an impulse to do. Rick Long did the same thing. He got drunk on Friday night so he could have a good time playing games with his Porsche. The tragedy happened when Long’s fun happened to conflict with seven men having a delightfully rowdy stag party. Long used his car to come up close to Atti’s car then zoom away just out of Atti’s reaih. Atti chased Long down Starin in his car and so did Qiammerasi. Giammerasi has said that he chased Long because Atti asked him to. Bqth said they didn’t know what they were going to do to Long once they caught him. But isn’t it more likely that they knew what they wanted to do at the time, but just couldn’t admit that fact to themselves once they were sober? And they certainly couldn’t admit it to the jury. They certainly couldn’t admit they really wanted to tear Long apart for spoiling their fun. What made them think the human body can take that kind of abuse? Why do they think the human body is supposed to act as it does in a John Wayne movie? They said they didn’t hit Long hard and they didn’t. They just killed him a little. Three grown men, two of them policemen with first aid training and fighting skills beat another man into unconsciousness, then deliberately left him there. They actually are asking us to believe that all they wanted to do was pound Long to a pulp but not kill /•.. him. Why then has the jury bent over backwards to given them the benefit of the doubt? Probably because the jury found themselves identifying with the defendants rather than the victim, The belief is that these three men just made an unfortunate error in judgement under unusual circumstances. It isn’t the first time this has happened. We make excuses all the time. Lt.

We applaude The Spectrum for recognizing the efforts of fraternities and sororities and other organizations for making the dance marathon a success (editorial of 4/19/78). However, we of Alpha Sigma Alpha believe that as a sorority who spent numerous hours in preparation for a bake sale and “manned” this sale for the entire 30 hours of the marathon raising $300.00, deserve some recognition. We realize that we are a small group, but, despite our size, played a substantial part in making the marathon a success. Additionally, our efforts could not have been a success without the help of our friends and various corporations of Western New York. Once again, • thank you. ; , , Alpha Sigma Alpha Sorority In defense of Wes Carter To the Editor Ip response to Wednesday’s letter concerning the operation of the work study office, we feel U necessary to say a few words in defense of Wes Carter, who runs the office. It may be true in certain cases that the office personnel has dealt with students in a less than courteous manner. Whether that is true or not seems to be a personal, subjective matter than cannot be proven either way. Vie object to the general aspersions which have been cast on Wes Carter himself. In all our dealings with Wes we have found him to be one of the most approachable, responsible, sensitive and pleasant administrators in the entire University. In two years we have had no trouble in getting to see him, even at short notice, and are more than satisfied with the flexible and sincere way in which he has resolved our problems with the work ” study program. “neutralize the enemy.” He didn’t kill anybody, just followed orders. Just like the SS guards of Aushwitz. They didn’t mean to kill millions of people,.just “resettle them.” The Warsaw pact didn’t mean to kill 25,000 Czechs in 1968, just “liberate them from capitalist influence.” In each case, the perpetrators should have understood the consequences of their actions but chose instead to hide'behind a veil of excuses that we now accept. The list of examples is endless. But so is our hypocrisy. For example, two weeks ago, a 13-year-old boy turned in a false alarm on a street corner not far from the house in which Richard and Gary Atti grew up. It was just a prank but a fireman was killed answering the call. The boy is to be petitioned to Family Court and probably will be institutionalized for what has been called “this irresponsible act that led to a man’s death.” WJiy is this boy being treated so harshly for the death of a man he never even saw, when Atti, Gramaglia, and Giammerasi admittedly killed another man with their bare hands and are being treated leniently? The reason seems to be that the Long defendants have become names with faces attached to them, with wives, jobs and children just like most people whp sit on juries. The television reporters who covered the case have even been calling the defendants by their first names. But the boy in the false alarm case has no face and no name so we demand “justice.” The same holds true for the death penalty. We demand an eye-for-an-eye, but when we sec whose eye we want, that’s different. Witness the case of Gary Gillmore, the man who wanted to die but ended up in a court fight to do it. Few people want to bear the responsibility for a man’s death. But then neither do the Long defendants. They insist that alcohol killed Long. During the entire Long case, no one not the police, the jury or the defendants has had the courage to face their responsibilities. Yet everybody 13-year-old boy to shoulder the expects a responsibility for the death of a fireman who simply failed to keep his grip on a moving fire truck. The boy’s actions were the reason the truck was moving but he did not push the fireman off that truck. One could argue that it was the fireman’s fault for not hanging on, just as the defense has argued that it was Long’s fault, being too weakened by alcohol to keep from drowning in his own blood, but no one has. The Long case is already, going down on the books as an unfortunate accident while the boy is being labeled an irresponsible brat who killed a man while having some fun. One wonders if somewhere along the way we didn’t get things a bit backwards. -JoeI DiMarco - - : Neil C.

No, No, No The purpose of tomorrow’s demonstration is not as carefree and happy-go-lucky as you (and others) have stated. These are some more realistic reasons. Here is a chance for students to get together without anyone telling them that they can or they can’t we are doing it entirely on our own. Here is a chance for all the great minds at this University to get together, pool their resources, knowledge and anger, and to start creating change. An “open mike” station will allow ideas to flow freely and we shouldn’t he surprised to find that many people are fed up with the same exact > experiences that we are. So big deal? Just a lot of people talking but nothing getting done? Wrong. This derqpnstration isn’t aiming to solve all the world’s problems in one day, but rather to determine and discover which ones we feel are important. And these will be issues that the University should be forced to deal with; not'just me issues that The Spectrum or the SA tells us are importaht but the ones that are voiced and are important to the people at the demonstration where students will come because they want to come,. 1 would like The Spectrum to make a commitment (since it is the Student newspaper) to print the list of demands that will be compiled at the demonstration on the front page so that everyone can see what we are really interested in. Already, another open demonstration, with an “open mike” and whei£ people can come and say whatever is on their mind, is being planned for sometime next week at the Squire fountain. We should not stop. Rather, we will push and push and yell and scream and keep on screaming until we are heard and OBEYED, because it is our University. Sure we can enjoy ourselves, meet new people and relax with a band at the end of the night, but if you’re going to come and party, also come to listen and learn and speak.

' , \ 3) Why, if a truly,fair Study of the Efficacy of the Four Course Load was to be undertaken, were students denied any input into the process? Further, in the realm of academics, President Ketter has created widespread concern through his inability, or unwillingness, to establish an academic plan. Two attempts have been made, both of which have failed dismally. The feeling amongst faculty, students and some administrators isthat the failure of both plans aredinastlyattributable to the narrow parameters established by President Ketter for the Academic Planning Committee. Partial justification for these narrow parameters was attributed by Dr. Ketter to budgetary constraint! Members of the Committee expressed their belief that a declining budget was not necessarily an “intellectual Strait Jacket,” {The Spectrum, December 8, 1976) Student representation on major Academic Policy Making- Committees has been sought by student organizations for a number of years. At present, the Graduate Student Association has submitted a proposal which-jieeks to establish formal student representation on such todies as the President’s Academic Cabinet, the Vice Presidwp' for Academic AffaifS meeting with Deans of >v Faculties, and various dfViSifonal committees dealing with all departmental policies affecting student education. This proposal has. been pendingsitice September, 1977 and has yet to be responded to. Dr. Ketter has pledged that student input about teachers would be taken seriously, (The Spectrum, March 4, 1974). However, the most direct form of input avaialable to students, that of a Teacher Evaluation System, is no longer funded by the administration. : ' ,• ~ : v * Apart from Academics, in which -few say President Ketter’s strength lie?; is the Construction Issue. Two divergent perspectives are found concerning Dr. Ketter’s efforts and achievements in getting State revenues released for Construction. His supporters maintain that Ketter’s hardnosed bargaining has enabled him to obtain funds which originally would not have been available.. His, detractors maintain, that the unyielding and abarasive attitude Ketter exhibits has ajejnated members of the State ted in the virtual Division'of Budget and has shut-down of Construction on Campus. In addition, Ketter’s contracting of State legislators directly further angered members of the State Division of Budget. The removal from office of upper level administrators is a difficult matter for any University President to handle, but this task has proven especially difficultfor Dr. Ketter. A modus operendi can be detected, in the similarities between President Ketter’s first dismissal, Dr. Claude Welch from the Deanship of Undergraduate Education^ and his last dismissal of Dr. John Telfer from the Vice Presidency for Facilities Planning. The move to replace Telfer seems to be widely acknowledged amongst appropriate given as Telfer’s administrators undistinguished record while Vice President.-The method of removal, however, has been as widely acknowledged as inappropriate and unnecessary. The decision to remove Telfer was made months before his forced resignation, yet n action was taken immediately, thereby creating an osphere in which apprehensions grew amongst the administrative level. When Dr. Telfer was finally President Ketter termed it a “reassignment” in - ■S' '■ . T ' From his appointment in 1970 as a "Law and Order' man through the running conflicts over interpretation of the Mandatory Fee Guidelines, the Student image ot Ketter has changed little. He is seen as inaccessible (he last met with the Student Senate over two years- ago) and insensitive to student needs. He seems to champion not student causes, but outside business interest. The following is a summary of some of the more important conflicts -. between the students and President Ketter. — < During the 1975-76 academic year a over the funding of the U.B. New York Public controversy Interest Research Group arose when on December 16, 1975 President Ketter sent a letter Jo Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Anthony Loren zetti instructing Lorenzetti to block approval of a one year contract between Student Association and NYPIRG. Calling the use of Student Mandatory Fee monies for NYPIRG “totally inappropriate at this institution,” President Ketter gave a strict constructionist interpretation of SUNY’s Guidelines saying: “It is my firm position that funds provided from compulsory student fees of Buffalo should be used Only to fund projects that have a ‘direct and identifiable’ relationship to the student body at Buffalo.” At (he time, “five other SUNY schools, all governed bv identical Board of-Trustees Guidelines, had contracts with NYPIRG. Inc., in addition, nope,of the administrations of Albany, Stony Brook, Binghamton, Buff those schools State and New Paltz ever involved themselves in contract negotiations.” (TheSpedtrutH, January 23, 1976). Many students viewed’ President Ketter’s actions concering NYPIRG as a continuation of an inappropriately strict interpretation of Mandatory Fee Guidelines. NYPIRG - — Group Legal ServicesJn the Summer.of }?77, Vice President for Student Affairs Anthony Lorenzetti, with the active support of Dr. Ketter, rejected the usage of Mandatory Fee money by Group Legal Services for the purpose of individual student representation. This caused substantial reduction in the programming of Group Legal Services. The administration asserted that the program was beneficial only to the individual and not to the. campus community, and therefore it was not a “student service.” Dr. Lorenzetti has stated that he interpreted “student service” to mean “Medical Type Programs.” This interpretation has been questioned by students on the ground that the guidelines state that Mandatory Fees may be used for “Transportation and other student services in support—of theie programs.” (SUNY Board of Trustees Rules and'Regulations Section 302.1*1. Richard LippeS Claimed that the withholding of funds fbr individual representation for students violated their tst, Sth, 6th and 14th Amendment rights and their right to spend their money as they‘seerfit. Within the established Guidelines. Spit was filed on these ground and the case is still in court as,of this date. One of the principle arguments forwarded by the Administration is that this aspect of Group Legal Services benefits'the individual, not the University community. However, the assertion has been made by-students that service organizations, intercollegiate.athletics and the vast majority of programs provided to the University by Student Association are utilized by respectively small segments of the undergraduate population. Additionally, students maintain that one student program is being curtailed in lieu of another based solely on the nature of that program. * ‘ ! currently Director of Group Legal President of IRC, and from a report by Services, Kettefts interpretation stemmed the Mandatory Fee on Hoc Committee a Presidential Ad of IRC, confirmed Dan Kinley. also a former President as directed by the that fiscal autonomy must be sacrificed Administration if IRC is to be allowed to function.

This union, the Graduate Student Employees Union, was stymied by refusal of Dr. Ketter to recognize representatives of the the organization as the legitimate graduate students. The GSEU was told by the President to bring its request (PERB) which he to the Public Employees Relations Board claimed was the only body which could decide oh union a union s contention that The recognition. recommendation •by Ketter could facilitate GSEU s attempts for official recognition was ignored. 1975, the University Attica Busts In April, administration blocked a Student Association allocation of $1300 for transportation to an Atti&i siipport rally in Albany. The rally, which was to include educational workshops and speakers on penal reform, Was termed a “Political activity and therefore outside the {State University] Board of Trustees Guidelines concerning permissable expenditure of Mandatory Student Fees.” Louis Starr, President of the Erie County Community Student Association, in a letter dated April 28, 1975, replied to Ketter saying that to “justify your action by saying (the money] would have been spent for political purposes is stretching common sense a bit out of shape . spent to correct what some citizens regard as a social and but not spent for political purposes.” legal injustice, yes Dr. Ketter had taken action to control the Student Association expenditure of student funds in what Students considered a constricting interpretation of the Student Mandatory Fee Guidelines. Resentment against President Ketter’s actions, ran so high that on April 25, 1975, University students occupied,Hayes Hall During the Police, supported by City of Buffalo.,policemen ..called in oh Reiter’s initiative, began removing students from Hayes Hall. During the removal ten (10) students wgre arrested. All civil charges brought against the ten were dropped, but three (3) of the students remained suspended by the administration. Ketter’s actions, including the use of Buffalo Police support. Police Dogs and the suspension of the three students after civil charges were dropped, were interpreted by students as indicative of his lack of sensitivity to students and student issues. . - Day Care Center Following the 1970 student strike a Day Care Center was opened to help facilitate the entrance of women with children into the academic community Over a period of four (4) years the Day Care Center organizers tried to get the University to recognize and fund Pharmacy In January, 1976, Dr. Ketter directed the Center. 7' Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Anthony Day Care supporters proved the necessity of a Day Care Lorenzetti not to process any more REPs for the Sub Center to non-discriminatory quality education.

I enjoyed his animal song the "Caterwaul Strut", and a harp work-out on "I been on theroad The Buffalo- Gals started- their music in Syracuse several years ago. The current Nashville based group is complete new personnel except for banjoist supreme Sue Monick. This group is loosely in the "new grass" category, as opposed to bjuegrass,. best conveyed when they hit stage with Mt. Breakdown/Do the "Iroggie Locomotion". If this energy and that of the second tune, "Don't Cry Blue", were maintained throughout the act I would have been pleased. But I find that the group lacks real drive, interrupting their music to give tedious introductions to the songs. They are simply over-aware of each style of music they're playing and introducing that style to the audience. One waltz, a breakdown instrumental, a gospel number and saddest of all the swing-of "Barnyard Dance" is missing in their rendition. One original song "Coco Loco" was Special to The Spectrum The 1978 Buffalo Folk Festival (BFF), produced by University Union Activities Board <UUAB} Coffeehouse and Music committees came off without a hitch last Friday/. Saturday and Sunday and will surely be remembered as one of the better musical happenings this school year. Depending on hear you count this was BFF number six or seven. In 1972 and *73 two large money-losing events were staged on the intermurals field in a tent featuring one of the greatest line-ups of talent conceivable at the time. The festivals in intelligence had programming and production in all aspects just not enough room in that except one tent to regain the funds piled into the talent roster. Bonnie Raitt, John Fahey, Leo Kottke, Loudon WainwrigKV, Maria Muldaur and Leon Redbone are remembered fondly by all who attended. After a year with no attempt at a -festival, a mini-festival was kindled in 1975. Response was good enough and dedication firm enough to allow the idea to continue. And last year some pop, bigger names, contemporary sounds were added to the great traditional roster of folk performers with the help of the Music Committee. So behind BFF 1978 was this fine history of performers and audience alike *’ . - , < Anderson was high spirited through "Get Up and Leave The Way We Started", s These folks have all been around and they are sensitive to the folk tradition. Many old songs were performed by this super bluegrass, old-time, acoustic group. It was summarized with Happy Traum leading them through Huddie Ledbetter's "Relax Your Mind". Bill Keith has lots and lots of credentials and can play banjo in an advanced style that he introduced years ago. A demonstration of his abilities was to be had with "Caravan", the Ellington tune. The band really did give off the feeling that they knew what they were doing and did well. They obviously play together often. Space out The Eriday night concert ended at 2:00 a.m. or later. The story was not different on Saturday. I would suggest that if UUAB and Coffeehouse wish to have this many performers in an event of two and a half days that they consider a Saturday afternoon concert with an admission charge. This would revive an old BFF idea and space out the performers in two shifts. [ On Saturday night Tam Kearney as the stage host was charged with the task of presenting eight acts in some six hours. I attractive. John Hammond, Jr. is the complete 'think a nice 3:00 p.m. concert on Saturday professional.

But you would expect Elvis Costello to open his set with something named "Waiting For The End of The World"? At seven-thirty' We waited for Nick Lowe with Rockpile, a shakin' pop quartet that featured Dave "I Hear You Knockin' Edmunds. After his unfortunately short set we waited for Mink Deville, New poet York street City extraordinaire, a narrow black vision with heartbreaker hair. Then we waited for Elvis. And now what are we waiting for? Don't think it's the end of the world. It's going to take a hell of a lot more than an angry young man from England with a guitar and rumpled green suit to prevent that, but right now Costello and his- company are working hard to wake and shake the rock and roll audiences in America. This was the second time Elvis and Nick Lowe appeared in Buffalo in as many months. You think that may have been a bit repetitive? WRONG! I don't think Elvis could ever be. His persona was a little more relaxed, and Shea's by nature induces a bit of more reserved behaviour than the 60-cent mixed drink policy of Buff State's Moot Hall Nightclub. At Buff State, we were told that the concert looked like a fuckin' kids tea party, and to get the hell up. On Tuesday: "Hey, how 'bout turning this place into a dance And no way he could cross die parapet orchestra pit at that elegant showplace to incur it. But " that ended up being inconsequential. After Elvis' one encore, the lights went up. And it still took a full five minutes before the raving stopped and people started to leave. Even before he sang one note, you knew Nick Lowe was the Jesus of Cool. The angels may wear red shoes but Jesus wears the white ones. Opening with "So It Goes" from the latest pop masterpieces Pure Pop For Now People, Lowe set the rhythm on bass, with Edmunds playing rave-up guitar. Next is "I Knew The Bride," an out-and-out rocker featured on the Stiffs Live album. It sounded like the Stiffs Nick Lowe medley coming up with the transitional heavy drums hinting at "Let's Eat" Instead it's the sound of "Breaking Glass." On the record, there is slivered, tinky piano, sending shards deep into the night. Without Bob Andrews there, though, the song becomes a pounding shaker, reminiscent of "Not Fade Away." It's good to see that Lowe can stand back and give the stage to the back-up for "Ju Ju Man." After ail, Rockpile is Edmunds' band, and Lowe's been working with them long enough in a give and take relationship to know that they rate a share of the spotlight. After Rockpile's parsimonious power pop. Mink Deville appeared scenery the from changing London RoctT into New York street beat. Their leader, singer Willy DeVille, has definitely taken the 60s influence to its 70s pinnacle. Dressed in a black suit {skinny tie aftdf aljf Willy behaved as if the ghost of Mitch Ryder was hovering over his shoulder. It is a shame that the Detroit Wheels weren't behind him cause Willy has the persona to lead a tighter band. Not that Mink OeVille are a shoddy array of anachronistic rockers, they have the capability instrumentation) (and Rockin' with the best by Barbara Komansfcy everything went together perfectly. The crowd's reaction changed from curiosity to involvement bringing Willy and Co. back for one more, treating us to "She's So Tough." And indeed it was. The lights went on as cigarette smoke billowed up from the floor, informing the crowd to make their dash to the bar... because everybody knows that Music Editor Elvis comes onstage unannounced. If you're "Waiting For the End of the World," forget it. This is only the beginning. Even with his guitar used mostly as a prop, Elvis is a monster talent, a tremendous vocal interpreter if something less than a guitar genius. His set is incredibly tight, with no time wasted for transitional tune-ups and remarks The songs are punched out one right after the a t+ro/'tinmwiriinn providing rther, the Attractions back-up perfect sparse the (especially Steve Naive on the maybe he really was keyboards in Question Mark and the tyysterians).

Well all remember how the lights went out, mystery dancing to the music of the Miracle Man. And then it' was over, even though the crowd couldn't be convinced for another five minutes. Don't count on Elvis being beck again in Buffalo in another two months. But if you're in New Stork the weekend of May 21, get down to the Palladium before you miss it again. They may not walk on water, but Elvis Costello, Mink Oeville and Nick Lowe have alt got the beat. There's gonna be so much dancin' when they get home. See, the thing is is that this concert really wasn't very different from all her others that I've seen (except that she played "Love Has No Pride," jeez, man, everyone always says how the song gets done too much and then nobody ever does it but die brought it back so there), y'know, especially in Buffalo, cause she said herself how she'd been here a trillion times, at least two in Shea's, it's just like Karla Bonoff's "Home." In fact about the only diff was in I think '75 when she made that joke about Betty Ford that all the moralizers made her apologize for, such bullshit. So what is K that makes this woman so special? It can't just be that she's a no-nuke, a cause that makes it real well with the college audience. She's a hard-drihkin', tough-lovin' strait-strumming woman, but that's also her own unique stereotype. Let's face it. she's got the She.'s got (uh) personality Walk, personality talk, personality smile a band that she plays with, not in front of. Freebo's a star all by himself, we all know that tail McFarlane man, Bonnie doesn't posh them. It's relaxed but cooks anyway, even "Runaway," Del Shannon turns in his rock and roll grave over the treatment on Sweet Forgiveness, but all of a sudden it moves, rocks out, everyone's dancin', "Run, run, runaway. The last time John Hall was seen in Buffalo was as the leader of a band named after the town that makes the Mardi Gras, the big daddy opened to a great reception at the 1976 Pirty of them all.

Shy and sexually naive, Pomme is misunderstood and misguided throughout this touching and sensitive film.

Rock criticism and fanaticism weren't the norm of youth culture or the object for all culture that they are today. Imagine, then, a movie that goes even farther back, to the days of Alan Freed and the Brooklyn Paramount; to Little Dion and Screamin' Jay Hawkins and the Planotones. Trying to feel today the excitement that these groups generated then is like trying to describe a roller coaster ride without ever having ridden one: It's hard to make a movie about such dear feelings without slipping into symbolism, v Floyd Mutrux, who directed American Hot Wax is unknowingly trying to deal with a romantic idea as he portrays the hopes of rock disc jockey Alan Freed: the jock of the fifties, the hero of rock's first generation, the instigator of rock payola. Hot wacks Mutrux deals with the do-ops, the boogie-woogies, the ROCK, the innocence and excitement as things too conceivably fictional. Paramount Pictures must have figured it could fictionalize everything in rock 'n' roll without losing the feeling, thinking perhaps to enhance the mood. Still, they understood they couldn't fictionalize the feats of Freed because his story is already legendary. But aside from Freed and the rock stars Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis and Screamin' Jay Hawkins the dialogue, the plot, each and every character is fictional. Movie studios know they can shake emotion from the public irreverently with irrelevantly, portrayed stories of musical history. This is eternally true rock, classical, because music jazz is near and dear to every person's life experience: So both The Glenn Miller Story and — - -> — —continued on page 14 spoken to. Pomme lives with her mother in a small apartment, where their level of communication doesn't go beyond much compassionate smiles. Their conversations echo with a multitude of matters left unmentioned. Pomme's dhe friend, Marilyn, is a vain and self-centered beautician whose major pre-occupation is sex. Goretta establishes these characters' traits early in easy and pleasing vignettes. He proves quite adept in "his storytelling and doesn't labor while making his points clear. Criminal attempts and intellectually, and he insists that she better herself through school and another type of job. Goretta implies that people should be accepted on their own terms and aren't clay to be molded or manipulated. Time and space are handled exceedingly well as they become dramatic contributors to the lovers' demise. Goretta first places their idyllic romance on the coast Normandy during a vacation, where the lovers flourish any free from restrictive Time, however, boundaries. becomes an eroding factor. Once the vacation comes to an end, their relationship begins to fray until it is finally severed. Here Goretta's subtle and careful film becomes melodramatic and muddled. Francois n confused by Pomme's silence and utters his objections, but since theft is little in the film to indicate any discontent, these objections seem unconvincing. Pomme comes across as so sweet and good natured that it would be hard to imagine anyone finding faulty with such an angelic soul. Francois' dismissal, as a result, seems far more despicabfe and senseless than it reasonably should. Goretta goes a bit far in insuring that our sympathies lie with Pomme, who is (eft pyschically shattered at Ihe end. He poutd have painted this picture without such phosphorescent coloring. Even those with bad vision can't help seeing that these characters have been polarized. A blessing and a burden Goretta seems to distrust human relationships; in this film, they inevitably involve acts of desertion. Pomme's vulnerability is both a blessing and a burden for Francois. The couple plays a game of trust on the high cliffs of Cabourg and he promises that he wont (et her fall.- We see later on, however, that it is a promise he cannot keep. Francois can only be seen as a villain when Pomme is institutionalized near the end of the film. ’* Paradoxically, Goretta seems to break one of his own rules. Instead of allowing us the freedom to draw our own conclusions, he structures his film in such a way that we can't help feeling manipulated. But the fault is slight; these days, flawless gems are a rare item. Marilyn's gazes into storefront and mirrors quickly imply her depthlessness and personal obsession with her looks. Pomrhe's mother is also shown to be a somewhat pathetic soul. windows Withdrawn and widowed, she lives a suffocating existence, exhibiting little interest in anything. The slight exploration her character undergoes reveals an empty life. Pomme's world consists of these two feminine influences and her job, the cosmetic repair of vain and/or aging women. Goretta, however, indicates that this heroine isn't herself suited to such alteration. Because she is naturally beautiful, any attempts to change her either physically or spiritually -r seem criminal. She rejects the stylish clothing and make-up -that Marilyn is quick to suggest. We often see her eating fruit (Pomme is French for apple) antj, like a ripe fruit, she is buried is bruised in the process of, being picked, as people try to alter her nature.

This silent film, to be shown with organ accompaniment by Harvey Elsaesser, reveals Crawford in her first incarnation as a jazz age flapper.

Bantam Book*, New York,) What a wonderfully diverse collection of short stories Ray Bradbury has written in Long After Midnight (his first book in seven years). Bradbury has expanded his realm of science fiction and tantasy by more often exploring present times and, nostalgically, the past with the same kind of magic conjured by his poetic pen in The -Illustrated Man and The Martian Chronicles. Eng|l$h film-maker Peter Watkins will present three of fiis films in Buffalo, beginning with his latest and most highly acclaimed work, Edvard Munch, at tKe Albright-Knox Art Gallery on Sunday, April 30, at 2 p.m. Edvard Munch is a biographical film on the Norwegian painter who has come to be acknowledged as one of the leading European artists of the late 19th and early 20th century, one of the most influential painters in the founding and defining of Eropean expressionism. Watkins’ film presents an almost documentary portrait of the milieu in which Munch’s tortured art was formed: the family circle wracked by disease and death; the conservative middle-class, puritan society of Christiania (Oslo) in the late 19th century. On Monday, May 1, at 8 p.m. in the Squire Hall Conference Theater Main Street, Watkins will present his 1967 film Privilege an allegorical futuristic work on rock 'n' roll and totalitarianism in which a rebellious rock star is compelled by the combined forces of church and state to become the messiah of a "Christian crusade for conformity." Privilege stars Paul Jones, formerly lead singer of the Manfred Mann Group, and Jean Shrimpton, a well-known fashion madel. On Tuesday, May 2, at 8:30 p.m., in the student union social hall at the State University College at Buffalo, Watkins will present The War Game (1966), which is still probably his most famous film. A hypothetical "documentary" about the effects of a nuclear attach on England, The War Game was produced for the T3BC, who then refused to show it. It was felt by supporters of the BBC that its depiction of the horrors of thermonuclear war should be shown only to "the right people";,"people occupying positions of influence in national or local policy or information" or "MPS the higher echelons of the military force .the ,.V ' senior civH servants," Bradbury everyday goings-on' student-teacher infatuations, Sunday walks,;an’old couple's night out at the local deli with work more characteristic of him: time machines, Martian spirits — and androids. When he writes about our conventional universe, the stories sometimes tend to border on triteness and naivete. More often, however, Bradbury describes our world with the same freshness, vividness and power one finds in his surreal tales. Bradbury, at his best, sounds quite like Flannery O'Connor, especially in 'The Burning Man'' and "The Miracles of Jamie". Like O'Connor, Bradbury relates sensations of color and warmth just as intensely as he does the thrust of the plot. Also similar is the manner in which the characters are created: no matter how despicable or how splendid V- --.y they are, we like tljeijt: In "The Burning Man", a little boy and his older sister go out for a drive to an old familar beach. On the way, they pick up a sun-reddened man who is stripped to his waist. As the hot car throttles down the long road under the white sun, sending plumes of dust swirling in the air, the man riddles the two fairly self-satisfied folks with questions like; Do you ever think about genetic evil? No. So they kick him out. End of story. Almost. "The Miracles of Jamie" fills the mind with reminiscences of O'Connor's VThe River". What happens to a little boy who believes too much in God and miracles? Bradbury's finale rivals O'Connor's in its gasping pathos. Some of the collection's best tales deal directly with distinguished authors like Ernest Hemingway, Thomas -Wolfe, and George Bernard Shaw, each presented in a different time frame. These stories *tA-y on. . . - Dr. Ketter will address the .,fStudent Senate today at 3 pm in The Haas Lounge (Squire Hall) ; V „ / ;*/•> ' • >■ •- ? •• - jj For details see page 5. meshes In "Forever and Earth", an eccentric old man invests his fortune in the development of a machine that will transport Thomas Wolfe forward in time so he canjwrite a book about rocket travel in a way lost to writers of jthat time. In 'The Parrot Who Met Papa", Bradbury explores the world of what might have been if Heminway had finished his last novel. The parrot, you see, memorized the novel, and one of Heminway's jealous foes stole the unfortunate ■ ■ bird. Bradbury resolves his Obsession in "GBS Mark V", the most recently written of the three stories. The ending finds a young crewman drifting tfirough space on a wrecked spaceship with an android copy , of George BernarO Shaw: ’ I * — „ ,, "And the old man spoke and the young man listened and the young man spoke and the old man hooted and they fell around a comer of the universe away out of sight, eating and talking, talking and eating, the young man biting gumball foods, the old man devouring sunlight with his solar-cell eyes, and the last that was seen of them they were gesticulating and babbling and conversing and having their hands until their voices faded into Time and the solar system turned over in its steep and covered them with a blanket of dark and tight, and whether or not a rescue ship named Rachel, seeking her lost children, ever came by and found them, who can tell, who would truly ever want to know?" You should read Long After Midnight; not just because Bradbury is stfll growing as a writer; not just because he is the king of science-fiction. You should read it because Bradbury can so adepfiy rivet you to h'S tintillating, fun world. -Bob Basil New Books at UGL Victimology: The Victim and his Criminal by Stephen Schafer.

Technological fixes One answer to this p oblem is to use coal and hydro power to the generate (?) necessary electricity. But what will be done with the sulfur dioxides and particulate matter spewed into the air as a result of coal use? Of course, the technological fix stack gas scrubbers, will solve the - problem. Alright, let’s say we primarily use coal and our utility companies use the various technological fixes to prevent air pollution. What are we to do with the problem of waste heat being constantly added to the biosphere as a result of the generation cannot be overlooked. Yet, non-profit educational institutions continue to be excluded from aH of the proposed economic relief plans set forth by the Administration and Congress. Such an oversight aggravates the dilemma of increased energy costs and has an influential impact on the rising costs of higher education. Field experience within non-profit educational institutions indicates that a properly phased program of investments of approximately S2.00 per gross foot can reduce energy consumption by at least 25 percent, and potentially by 40 and transmission of greater amounts of electrical energy? This here seems to be our limit to growth, that precious principle of our industrial civilization. Let’s be optimistic and say that "our” utility coetpanies provide a technological fix to this problem. The fundamental problem still remains basing this wonderful growth oriented industrial society preimarily on NON-renewable resources, which by definition are finite. How will our energy consumption continue to grow, in order to support this type of society, faced with this finitude. One characteristic of “the ahswer,” supported by many (including our illustrious leader who hasn’t as yet passed a national energy policy), is energy conservation. The fact remains dial we are dealing with finite resources in a society that places a high value on infinite growth. Energy conservation can only be used to “buy us time” so that we may halt the inertia of a system based on growth and finite resources and turn to renewable (infinite) types of resources. — percent. There are many areas of energy conservation which may be attacked within institutions such as this one. Here are just a few: dimmerswitches for lights, precise illumination design for lighting, temperature and flow control devices for showers, push button, slow closing valves for toilets to deliver one gallon of water, required routine maintenance of Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HV AC} systems for optimal efficiency, accessible means of reducing energy used for HVAC during non-use periods: accessible means of volume reducation and/or shut off when ventilation isn’t required, pooling with outdoor air and fan systems wherever permissible, and most importantly the establishment of a campus energy management committee and program. This should be an active committee consisting of faculty, students and administration which would conduct energy audits and heat loss and gain studies oncampus buildings, establish guidelines for energy conservation procedures within the University and make energy conscious design and planning recommendations to ., Non-profit waste We, as students, faculty, staff and administrators, can share in that “buying of time” by conserving in energy this enormously consumptive institution. Non-profit institutions of higher education such as this one spend more than $1.2 billion annually On energy, or an equivalent of 100 million barrels of oil per year.

McGovern: U.S. future . . . the five course educational experience requiring excess time spent in structured classroom situations.” Administrators and faculty at many schools disagreed on the merits of a broad field of study versus one that offers depth. Further debate arose over the time and study demands of a five course load; SUNY Binghamton administrators believed that a five course load was a burden beyond what the average student could carry. New York University disagreed administrators and called for an enrichment of courses along with the adoption of its four course load. by Brad Bermudez Campus Editor , In the Spring of 1969, with the Vietnam War and other emotional issues occupying students’ minds, the Faculty Senate here gave birth to what has become known as the four course load by establishing a four-credit for three-classroom (contact) hour policy. Last December, after eight years of scrutiny, evaluation and debate, the same Faculty Senate effectively killed the four course load experiment and instituted in its place a flexible credit hour policy which will vary academic loads across departments. While the new policy is confusing, one fact is crystal clear the experiment has been deemed a failure. Most faculty members and administrators .believe that the four course load (4 credit for 3 contact hauppeUcy)implemented in the Fall of 1,969 was “ contributes to system the fragmentation of students’ academic programs. Furthermore, it results in too rigid an credit hours (8 courses) outside the main area of concentration served as the distribution requirements for all degrees. Rigid requirements Prior to the adoption of the four course load, students were to two required take semester-long courses in English, Math and a foreign language plus one two-semester course in each of four disciplines. Rigid basic and distribution requirements were set to insure students a broad education. The Barber Report liberalized the requirements and established a free elective system that still mandating remains that students take 32 credit hours from two main areas of knowledge other than their major, areas of concentration. The three Heavy burden basic areas established were Binghamton Cornell, and Humanities, Social Sciences and Barnard felt that freshmen were Science and Technology. Here it entering their schools better can be seen how, with distribution prepared and more well rounded requirements lowered, breadth in as students.

Dakota) loW a standing room only crowd Monday in the Fillmore Room of Squire Hall that the future leadership of this country is going to come from college campuses. McGovern, who said be has “always been involved with young people,” outlined his priorities and the direction he believes the govennmeht should take away from national defense spending and towards internal civilian programs. McGovern, who began his speech thanking all of the people who helped him when he was at this University in 1971, discussed an amendment which he planned to introduce before Cqngress yesterday. He explained that it is a Transfer Amendment which .would cut S4.6 billion from the $130 billion military budget and mandate its use for civilian programs such as alternative sources of energy, higher >- education grants and upgrading the public transportation system, specifically railroad. McGovern mentioned a Western New York Peace Center leaflet quoting Detroit Mayor Coleman Young as saying, “America’s greatest enemy lies in the poverty and degradation of its people.” McGovern said, “We have been too preoccupied with the danger of an outside attack. We have pursued it into an obsession.” He stressed that spending too much money on national defense has weakened the nation in areas such as the modernization of civilian industry a necessity if the United States is to compete with nations such as Germanyand Japan. — Bold leadership McGovern, / wearing a three-piece grey suit and flashing his patented campaign snfle, told the receptive audience that “although there is no issue today with as much passion as Vietnam, there are still very fundamental issues which will determine the kinds of lives well lead in years ahead. We have at least a minimum obligation to be well-informed on public issues." The one-time Presidential candidate, who said he wouldn’t trade places with his opponent (Richard Nixon) today, analyzed and commented on President Carter’s Presidency. He said that Carter’s tax cut could be better spent in other ways: to generate jobs, rehabilitate cities, reduce crime and create better public services. He remarked, “We need bold and leadership. We don’t have it in the White House today. 1 give Carter full credit for trying to orient the country.” One-term IMdeat After a half hour talk, McGovern opened the floor to questions saying* “It’s not too early to criticize Carter, but its premature to discuss whether he will be a one-term president.” McGovefh said the only name he has heard as a possible Democratic candidate is California Governor Jerry Brown whom he is neither supporting nor opposing. He said that Gerald Ford, Senator Howard Baker, Senator Robert Dole, Governor John Connally, and Ronald Reagan are campaigning already r *b. —r- hi , , . • - —continued on page 13— ’ • - - - Trend toward depth The committee found a general trend at these schools to “loosen up” distribution requirements and allow students to take a narrower range of courses, thus increasing the intensity of study in one. discipline. Many high level faculty members believe thaf~ “depth” of knowledge in one field of study the primary attraction Of four course load was more desirable than the “breadth” obtained in a five course load. This is the classic “breadth vs.- depth” argument that has been continually debated in higher education circles. The 1969 leaning toward the “depth” side of the argument coincided with a general emphasis towards “specialization” and preparation for careers on the undergraduate level. The intent behind a change to a four course policy, according to the committee report,'was to “provide students an opportunity to obtain a greater intensity of to allow students study . , “more time for independent study and guided reading.’’ The report - — Charles Fogel. Dean of Graduate Education Thomas Connolly, Former Chairman of the Feculty Senate in October 1968, outlined the provisions necessary to implement the four course load. Its first resolution called for “four courses to become the normal full time program effective September 1969 The basic requirement for a baccalaureate degree remained 128 total credit hours or courses. The 32 four-hour requirement for a Bachelor of Science degree was set at 96 credit hours or 24 courses while that of a Bachelor of Arts degree was 48 credits or 12 courses. Thirty two upped their three credit courses to four while a few added an extra hour of class to certain courses and granted four credits for four contact hours. ” Curriculum changes However, major curriculum changes were made in the Engineering Management and schools.

The reversal in the County’s fiscal policy has come about because Meyer Memorial Hospital has been replaced by the new $116 million Erie County facility as the County hospital. Even if the private Buffalo General Hospital leases the new public a proposal that has facility twice been turned down in the the salaries County Legislature will not be paid by the county. The University has requested additional money from SUNY in the annual supplemental budget request, but no decision has been reached on that outlay. Under conditions, present medical students at this University, receive “on-the-spot” training at the County operated Meyer Memorial Hospital. The educational and service costs for this affiliation have veen borne by Erie County. University President Robert Ketter said he has been informed that if Buffalo General manages the new county hospital, the educational portion, or roughly half the cost of the teaching affiliation, will have to be paid by the University. This $2.5 million figure covers salary support of full-time faculty. “General has told us not to count on that money,” Ketter recently told a group of Western New York - - differing potentials lor attracting non-state external funds. Given that situation, the comprehensive nature of the University is bound is disappear, according to the GSA. Finally, Ketter will be questioned on the steps being taken by this University to insure implementation of affirmative action as it relates to graduate students. An open question and answer session will follow. legislators. According to Vice President of Health Sciences Carter F. Pan nil I, Ede County has annually paid the salaries of the Medical School faculty because New York State has never assumed this expense as an “With this obligation. University being part of 'the SUNY system,” said Pannill, “the State should come up with the money no matter who runs the , hospital.” , Despite the two recent defeats of the Buffalo General lease proposal, Ketter expressed an attitude of indifference towards the eventual outcome, insisting that the University still possessed teaching affiliations with other area hospitals which “could be intensified” upon the failure of Brie County and Buffalo General to work out a compromise agreement. However, from a public relations standpoint, he re-emphasized the University’s role as an impartial observer of the County Legislature’s proceedings. Said Ketter; “The University cannot take a stand on this issue because, by definition, we as educators should not be concerned with who runs the hospital as long as it is able to operate and offer the best level of health care possible.” Pannill echoed Keller's neutral stand on the hospital lease issue. “From an educational standpoint, we are in support of either Erie County or i Buffalo General running the new hospital,” he said. “The point is that we need that hospital.” Pannill added that 42 percent of all programs of the Faculty of Health Sciences are currently taught at Meyer.

Schwartz summed up the feelings of his advisory committee “Without general saying, education, specialization may become sterile and alienating, at ‘Hobbesian’ its worst a for dominance. With competition general education, specialization may become a way of imagining and using material and intellectual tools in the interest Of adaptive personal and social development.” He remarked that Freud said a healthy person should have the ability to love and work. “We think that SUNY at Buffalo can best nurture these abilities by establishing dialogues within and among disciplines and making these dialogues widely available to students,” he said. “By doing this, we shall not only encourage common understanding, but the ability of students and faculty to love their work, or change it.” Friends of C.A.C. present THIS MOVK18 TOTALLY “And for my second wish OUTOFCOWTHOI. ...

I believe that the change*I call for are necessary in any set of general conditions. But they are all the more imperative in the particular conditions prevailing now. It is generally believed that education in general and higher education in particular is no more a “social priority” in the eyes of the state and federal governments; and the resources available to education have reached their limiting values. Consequently, the good administrators today, are viewed, as those 'realists and pragmatists’ who can accept and adapt to the above “social” priorities, and specialize in making selective cuts and reallocations. What we need to do, however, is to challenge the so-called social priorities set for society by its genuine “representatives” such as the Carnegie Committee on Economic Commissions, this Development, etc. The entire University means the students, the faculty and the non-teaching have to articulate this challenge. And we staff cannot expect this to happen if they do not run the My interview with your paper has been published under the title, “Mere Dismissal of Dr. : FSA changes hands Ketter Not the Answer.” The title can be understood to mean that I advocate the dismissal of Dr. Ketter and in addition call for further changes within the University. While I chose to defer my comments on the first, 1 did call for basic changes within the University’s decision-making processes. What I have tried to communicate to your reporter is this: that the University has to move away from the situation where its growth is to be determined by the personality of its president. While the characteristics of the individual occupying the presidency are important, we cannot nurture conditions wherein the University life has to depend on the accidental good-nature, kind-heartedness and broad vision, the president may be endowed with. I also think that it is an illusion that merely by dunging individuals in leading positions, significant Last Friday, the student side of the Faculty Student Association took control of its key Board of Directors positions. FSA is a "non-profit" corporation which controls Food Service, the Bookstore, campus vending machines and other support services. This coup d'etat is rio small achievement. Though FSA is supposed to be cooperatively run, the Administration specifically Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty has always wielded most of the power. The student side has been plagued by irresponsibility, lack of unity and a general ignornace of the workings of the corporation. In our opinion, FSA has not served the needs of the campus community as efficiently or responsively as possible. There is considerable room for improvement. changes in institutions can be realized. What is called We hope that the new FSA Treasurer, Sub Board I Inc. Executive for is the creation of conditions where people Director Tom VanNortwick, will keep a close watch on the various constituting the institution indeed decide about the FSA divisions, open up FSA finances for public scrutiny and insure real nature and scope of their development. This means student input into the day-to-day functioning of the corporation. The that it is the students and the faculty who :hould goal of FSA should be to provide the campus community the best play such a role not the Capen Hall, UB Council or service for the best possible price. Certainly that goal has not been reached. With students now in the driver's seat, we look for significant strides in that direction. To the Editor. — — - - University themselves.

Question ' " \ TONIGHT T*.WL}. h ■■■ Jan Hammer ■ National Jazz Artist THURSDAY Head East Prasantad by Fatthwl East — / ' ■" i FRIDAY . Wednesday, 26 April 1978 1 > “ �FEEDBACK Monetary issues Long and overdue To the Editor. This is a long overdue letter of complaint about the work/study office. It has given much unnecessary grief tp many who have to enter it for whatever reason. Access to Wes Carter, the work/study supervisor, is closely guarded by the women who sit behind the desks. We are concerned with one woman in particular. She is apparently Wes Carter’s secretary and generally rude and antagonistic to students. She has “interrogated” students wishing to see Carter as to their exact purpose and “qualifications.” In addition, thei’e have been times when she has unjustly humilated and accused many of lying. For a person who serves an intermediary function between student and administration, this is especially deplorable behavior. Examples of the goings on encountered this year include: 1. A student tried to make an appointment with Carter to discuss the summer work/study jobs in N.Y.C. She was told by this secretary that he’d be busy with meetings for three days. Easter break followed and immediately after, the student again went to the office and was told, after requesting an appointment to come back later in the day when Carter would be in. It was an inconvenient time for the student. The next day, the student decided to try to make an appointment by phone and was told by another woman that her name would be put on a list for a summer job in N.Y.C. and that Carter would be calling her soon. After a week, Carter had not called and the student went back to the office. His secretary granted an appointment but not withoht exasperatedly asking, “Well, why didn’t you make the appointment earlier!?” 2. Another student tried to make an appointment with Carter to discuss the same program. (In March, the office had distributed notices with the job descriptions and advised students to make appointments with Carter as soon as possible.) She was told by the person on the phone that her name would be put 6n a list and that she would be contacted soon. After a week, she went to the office, found Carter and made an appointment with him for 2;30 last Friday. He assured her he would be there. He was not. The To the Editor student was informed by his secretary tha. he’d left the office for the day. She inquired what the appointment was about and when told, seemed confused. She then asked if the student was "eligible” for work/study. The student had been on work/study for the past year and would be for the next. It then dawned on Ifier what the secretary was implying. “So you mean, did I apply for summer work/study on the UB Financial Aid Form? No, I did not.” “Then you can’t have the job.” And that was that. The student was outraged that all the wasted time spent had resulted in this. Many assume the summer work/study program on the financial aid application applies only to those who will be in Buffalo for the summer and that the available jobs are in Buffalo. No where is it mentioned that the program extends out of the city. No where on the circular about the program in N.Y.C. is information regarding eligibility printed. 3. An office worker was giving out information about the summer work/study program to students in the hall. One student enquired about the above mentioned circular and was faced with the loud disclaimer of “What are you talking about? "there are no summer jobs in New York, only in Buffalo.” 4. Carter’s secretary is responsible for handing out paychecks to students. The procedure is to ask the student for his I.D. card and have the student sign for the check. As faces become more familiar, she has not asked for I.D. cards in some cases. One student, used to not having to show I.D., was denied her check because she didn’t have it with her this time. After repeating that the secretary had always given her check to her without an I.D., the secretary loudly said, “Don’t ever say that. Don’t ever say that I’ve given you a check without an I.D. card for proof. I’ve never done that.” To sum up our complaint, we are used to dealing with long lines and bureaucracy in this University but it is our right to demand efficiency, information, helpfulness and courtesy from those in a position to give it. The blatant disrespect for students and nasty display of manners exhibited by those employed in the work/study officedo not belong anywhere. Joyce Howe M. Levin The Spectrum is the single most important publication for the large student community of SUNYAB. Your April 24th issue has both errors and ignorant assumptions. Because of a mild familiarity with the Long Case, I noticed these mistakes. In Joel DiMarco’s article he states, “Sources state that defendant Pasquale Vitale is expected to return to his job as a blackjack dealer twhen in fact Pasquale Vitale is a truck driver and defendant Joe Gerace is a blackjack dealer. In addition to this error, Brett Kline makes at least two more errors in his editorial. Brett Kline considers the decision', “sympathetic.” During deliberation the jury has no Information regarding possible sentences for charges being considered. The jury found three defendants guilty of. criminal negligent homicide by using the legal definition given tjhehvatfd not'the sentences possible. Later in the editorial Brett Kline takes it upon himself to use the phrase coined by local newspapers, “stomp.” If Brett Kline had attended the trial rather than reading journalism concerning the case he would know that the beating was not a . stomping. In writing this letter I am not attempting to begin a controversy. What worries me are the controversies The Spectrum finds itself amidst in; those issue| in which The Spectrum is the sole coaveypr of information. For the future we must hope that the student body is not swayed by momentary issues created by The Spectrum filled with error and ignorance. Franklin Baitman To the Editor jury A haiku on the Richard Long police stomping verdict: Negligent homicide They neglected to dig his eyes out with their heels. Roscoe Anderson The way to protect To the Editor. In response to Susan MacGregor’s letter (April 24) concerning the BSU’s and PODER’s request for more monfey, it appears to me that these two groups arc among the few groups that know how to deal with in the student government. These special interest groups really do fight for the people they represent (although sometimes literally). Their request for more bucks in a time of known shortage of funds, shows they know how to protect what they have. Let’s face it, the “game” is student government, the “rules” are politics. Any group that voluntarily accepts, or worse offers to take a budget cut (however magnanimous it makes them feel) is a bunch of bananas. As for UB acting as a “nursery school” for “EOF students from NYC” to learn the “basic skills” forget it. They might not know who Machiovelli was, but then again who has the Prince’s share of the treasury. just Vincent L. Bore Hi Racist letter To the Editor. This is in reply to Susan MacGregor’s racist letter regarding BSU and PODER budgets. It seems fairly obvious that you are a Biggot Ms. MacGregor. Before sprouting out your verbal garbage, you might have tried to call either the SA Treasurer or BSU and PODER for the answer to your simple questions. By the way, they get their balls from the same place we get ours!! If you could possibly try to think about things supposedly taught to us all our lives, namely there are two sides to every story, you might not come off like such an idiot. As far as appeasement and ridiculous budget requests, these are matters that may need discussion, The letter entitled “Too Much Money” that appeared in the Monday edition of The Spectrum was a phony, written with no intent other than to cause trouble. No student at this University bears the name Susan MacGregor, the name appearing at the end of the letter. The letter was inadvertently submitted for publication without having been run through a name-check. It is unfortunate that this year’s open letter,policy has been taken advantage of by individuals whose connection with this University but believe me they will be discussed, not beaten out SA officers. If you are going to bring up an incident what happened two years ago with people who are not even around anymore, you are more misguided than I ever imagined. There are even two sides to that story too. I was there at the time, so I do know them,.do you? .*■ I do agree with one part of your statements “This is supposed to be oUr institution of higher education, not a nursery school,” for short sighted biggots. This is today, not two years ago and it’s time you woke up Ms. MacGregor. ... ,, > % , Lee Scott Penes cannot be determined and/or who refuse to correctly identify themselves in their correspondence in the letters column. “Too Much Money” should have been filed with other letters whose only apparent purposes were to promote bigotry or racism, or simply to cause trouble in the circular file. The Spectrum apologizes to all Black Student Union and PODER officials, and to all minority students, insulted by this letter. - Compare education To the Editor In regards to the letter on Wednesday, April 24, 1978 (“Too much money”), I would like to reply by saying thank you for expressing your opinion. That might open some people’s eyes as to the ignorance and biases floating around this University. First of all, as to the reason for your outburst of anger. During a budget evaluation, all organizations ask for double the amount of money of what their true expectations are, because they expect to get cut. (When I had read that particular article, 1 questioned myself as to why The Spectrum only mentioned BSU and PODER.) As for your second point of view, about minorities educational background: No. 1 Not all minorities are EOF students and vice versa. In fact there are now more white students on EOP than there are minorities. No. 2. EOP is for the educationally and financially disadvantaged. Because of the two former prerequisites, most students who are fortunate enough to come to this University via this program come from floor urban areas. When you compare the education supplied to the students in the suburbs of Long Island and little towns and cities close to Buffalo and that of those that come from poor neighborhoods you will find that the education of the former is very superior (A lot of my friends have had calculus, chemistry, etc. in high school!!). If we had these courses and did well, we- would not be excepted into the University through EOP and would have no hope of entering into higher education. I don’t expect to change any of the inbred thoughts of so many people, but at least to broaden the minds of a few. Evelyn Navarro Brett Kline Wednesday, 26 April 1978 The Spectrum .

President Ketter offers no real explanations and, in fact, any administrative comments are received not from him but from others. Dr. Ketter deems it “inappropriate" to either question the two cases o or to act on them. We, however, feel it is both inappropriate and irresponsible for Dr. Ketter to ignore university requests of investigations and possible support. No administration, whether it be the state offices or Or. Gelbaum, can operate accountable to no one. Serious questions of university self-determination and academic freedom exist. Because of the importance of such matters, we urged in previous editorials that Dr. Ketter in some way become involved. We know that Dr. Gelbaum cares not for the principle of academic freedom and we realize that Albany often forgets the varied nature of the state system. If Dr. Ketter still refuses involvment, we can orsly surmise that he too cares nothing for either principle. - from the suited in put is of dw being ecade has illy none ■ _ _ A __ i^/?/ V a ■ _ JLA JL A ACAAA • ■ |_ ‘V'vf M I Clfl * f\ V T7 1 — _ jU A � T TU ’ QT VJ WvAutll il Social Sciences C e* e (SSC) has bi ordered bv 68 nt **°bert Ketter cease °^ f ' its opcrat’ revo kinB endorsed the th'V n, e^e s c^arter Ketl j„ CoIImpc * * ° > ™ ulori ty of report gfSStS ri* _ ( olP^€dw™, Like days of Forty occupy Ketter*s office mmkd ™ ami «,, Urposes,” , nitfee out * .

The office is located on the Main Street Campus in Hayes C. and has several counselors available who specialize in a variety of career fields including social and community servicesjhealtb services, business and industry, elementary and secondary education, and educational administration. A counselor is also available to advise students in their applications for graduate school.

The Placement Reading Room in Hayes C also provides information on employment trends, guides to graduate and professional schools, and sources of financial assistance for graduate study, national and international teaching contracts and opportunities, and State and Federal Government Career information. Usually students start in the reading rooms to become familiar 'with job ! J | j t 'I ' offerings. . The on-campus interviewing program is scheduled from early October to mid-December in the fall semester, and from mid-January to late April in the spring semester. During this time representatives from organizations from all areas of the country visit the campus to interview candidates. Interview listings and a brief description of positions offered can be found in the University placement and Career Guidance Bulletin, .published bi-weekly during the academic year. Copies of the bulletin are forwarded to departments for posting and are available for students in Hayes C. Resumes are requested to be given to the office well in advance so that the employer can have the resume the day prior to the interview. When writing a resume, it is appropriate to appeal to the employers’ interest in what you have to offer and to keep facts and information in a positve perspective, stressing your strong points as they relate to the position you are seeking. Sample resumes are available in the reading rooms. " ' 1 A preparatory guide Yes, you Most employers, graduate and professional schools, require references when considering your application.

Four course load... —continued from pge 1 also beefed up its curriculum. Since the number of student credit hours generated annually is a primary consideration in how much SUNY Buffalo money received, administrators feared a negative reaction to the four course load from the DOB The 1977 Springer Report stated: “Certainly the abrupt increase of nearly ten percent in the credit hours generated per enrolled student in the first semester the change was in effect did nothing to reduce the suspicion that the basis for resource allocations had somehow been inflated.” According to Fogel, while the workload of the faculty remained constant, the number of credit hours generated suddenly jumped so that the administration could increased actually justify allocations for faculty lines. Said “The DOB argued that we actually the cheating were students because we were giving more credit for the same courses that were taught in previous years.” As a result, according to the Springer Report, the DOB put the persistent pressure on administration to resolve this “inflation” of the credit hour. University eventually reverted to a four credit/three classroom hour policy. The Springer Report of 1977 estimated that 98 to 99 percent are four credit courses. According to Robert Springer, Professor of Engineering, there was much confusion among faculty members in 1969 as to individual exceptions were allowed or if the change was whether be across the board. Said ‘The overwhelming, Springer, majority of faculty felt they were under constraint to make the change Id a four course load.” The_ Varying perceptions and reactions' the changes to four courses meant that the four course load was never toally accepted and debate continued sporadically for nine years to Committee Chairperson ($700) Film Committee Assistant Chairperson ($250) Coffeehouse Committee Chairperson ($700) Coffeehouse Committee Assistant Chairperson ($250) Cultural & Performing Arts Committee Chairperson ($700) Cultural & Performing Arts Committee Co-Chairperson ($400) Publicity Committee Chairperson ($400) Publicity Committee Assistant Chairperson ($200) Sound/Tech Committee Chairperson ($600) For Information on these positions, call 636 2957 - William Baumer, Assistant Vice President of Financial Services regarding enrichment can not be made across departments, most faculty members to some extent did augment lectures. According to Connolly, the intent of the change was not to enrich courses but to place the faith in the students to enrich their studies on their own. Fogel disagreed, “The idea as I saw it, was to increase the depth of education with a corresponding enrichment of course work. Disagreement This the basic disagreement in perception which would eventually lead to the Springer Report recommendation to bring an uneven end to the four course load Those departments that adhered to Fogel’s view - for example now will probably retain their 4/3 courses while the was - OCH hours The Off-Campus Housing Office will be open Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6 to 9 p.m. It is located in Room 343 Squire Hall. Minor implications The implications of the change clear. The 1968 were never very Committee predicted large enrollments in some departments because of the reduction in the number of electives required. A reduction in the total number of courses required, however, would effect reduce the number of in students per course by a slight It jvaa feared that a corresponding te(faction in the number of faculty budget lines generated would occur. minor Most of these implications never came to light according to those who effected the change. Dean of Graduate Education Charles Fogel, who participated on the ’68 Committee, noted little change in the number of students per class or the work load of faculty members. Professor of English, Thomas Connolly, then Chairman of the Faculty Senate, said, "The net effect of the change was minor. There was a slight rise in the number of students per class but this was probably a result of increased enrollment.” Whether course work should be enriched was another contested issue. Some faculty believed that course work should be intensified to match the decrease in course generalizations time.’"' While Music Committee Chairperson ($700) Music Committee Assistant Chairperson ($250) V PUBLICATIONS Creative Literary Magazine Editor-in-Chief ($600) Creative Literary Magazine Managing Editor ($300) Creative Literary Magazine Business Manager ($400) Buffalo Anthology Editor ($400) Buffalo Anthology Managing Editor ($100) nt For Information on these positions, call 831-5534.

For Buffalo, it was their third straight win the first at home. - Massaro led the offense with three goals with teammate Ken Cohen scoring two. Buffalo jumped out early, taking a 4-0 lead during the first period. Massaro, Cohen, William Higgs and Larry Leva scored first period goals. Goalie Frank DiTondo held the Generals in check, allowing one tally late in the first stanza. However, Eisenhower seemed to get its offense working at the start of the second period. Tim Holt tied the game at 4-4 and on the play, DiTondo injured his thigh and was' removed from the game. Spanky Vitale replaced him, allowing three more goals from the Generals’ sticks. Eisenhower took a 7-6 lead at halftime. Frank Betely replaced Vitale for the second half in the Buffalo net. Prior to the game, Betely was considered doubtful to see any action due to a severely sprained ankle. Despite his immobility, Betely reacted quickly when the Generals attempted to put the sphere in the net.

But after' winning their second straight doubleheader, the Bulls record is a stfll disappointing 13-14. Rosenberg allowed the Mountaineers only five hits in earning his fourth win against one loss. A leadoff homer by catcher Tom Gilbert in the third provided West Virginia’s only tally. Buffalo won the opener with two runs in die first, getting started when Mike Groh led off with his 32nd walk of the season. Pitcher Bill Parrish’s pickoff throw went astray, sending Groh to second and one out later, Pat Raimondo doubled him home. Groh gets squeezed After . Hard nosed Both teams scored one goal during the third period as the defensive sticks tightened at both ends. Charlie Ptak, Jim Skotak and Don Lund played hard nosed lacrosse for Buffalo, limiting the Generals’ attack to just nine shots during the second half. The Bulls played their sharpest half as a team this season as the midfielders were always in the right place at the right time. Co-captain Leva moved the ball up to the attackmen unselfishly and with pinpoint accuracy Craig Kirkwood was hampered by an elbow injury suffered in the second half, but was still able to come up with an above average performance. The action thickened as UB trailed by a goal with just under two minutes remaining. Bob Kennedy of Buffalo set up John Lindsay with a beautiful feed in front, for a dramatic game tying goal. For Lindsay, a Sweet Home High graduate, it was his first goal for Buffalo. Both teams played out the final minute of regulation without scoring, sending the match into sudden death overtime. Betely and Eisenhower goalkeeper David Bollinger stopped tight shots over the first two minutes of the four minute overtime. With the clock running down, Massaro came through in the dutch, shooting the bell over Bollinger s left shoulder for (he game ending goal. Massaro, who took fifteen shots on goal during the game, admitted his shots weren’t too hit, but was more than happy with the final one.

As Sue Fulton sat down to talk, shades of her Miami tan were still visible. She had returned a week earlier from that sunny Florida city where she had competed in the National Singles Collegiate Bowling Championship. And compete she did, as Sue finished sixth overall in singles play of thirty-two invited bowlers, and, more importantly, led her team to the doubles title. The doubles win was nothing new, however as Sue had won it two years earlier in before, Denver, Colorado. Winning itself is nothing new to Fulton. In her thirteen or so — years as a bowler, Sue has won than more her share of tournaments. She started in the sport at the tender age of eight, prompted by her parents, who hoped to cure her of her shyness. Being bowlers themselves, the Fultons wanted to see Sue get involved in something regularly and bowling seemed the natural choice. All-around Sue Sue’s bowling developed into a hobby, nothing much more. As a student at Kenmore East High School, she competed in every other sport, was president of the school’s Athletic Association and participated in intramural bowling for two years. In her senior year, along with Cindy Coburn (now a UB Royal) and a third person, Sue won a place on the men’s varsity bowling team. The team did well, as Sue got her first taste of competitive bowling. While competing for Kenmore, she also Both Sue and Cindy were offered athletic scholarships to Indiana State and indeed both were enrolled and registered at the school after graduation from Erie. When they went to visit the school, however, neither was thrilled with the campus or the general situation. As an both alternative, were late registrees at UB. Sue came herp as a Physical Education major and both she and Cindy joined Buffalo’s bowling squad. The Royals had an excellent season A BUFFALO CHAMPION: Sue they finished second this year Fulton, Buffalo bowler at a Las Vegas Invitational and extraordinaire, recently competed captured the New York State in the National Singlet Collegiate championship title.

Regarding a professional bowling good competition, we just have to stick together as a team.” As for the future, Fulton education physical knows positions are hard to come by. “I’d be interested in working at a YMCA, till a teaching job came career. Sue noted, “I think if I really worked at it, I could make it; it would be a lot of work. I’m not really sure right now, maybe in the future, I’d like to try it.” Wind a factor Harriers take second in three team meet - , The UB track team (with 61 points) finished second to Albany (133) but ahead of Binghamton (13) at a triangular meet Saturday, where the real victor was the Albany weather. The winds drove in hard from the north. According to coach Walter Gantz, “The war was not against the track and the opponents,” but against the wind. Bill Regan, who took second in the javelin (154’9”), the high jumb (6’), and the long jump (19*6V4”), said, “There was no way of telling what the wind would do.” Albany’s Don Ross, one of the best jumpers in the state, barely beat Regan in the long jump by one fourth of an inch. The strong winds didn’t stop Mike Fischer (31:39.7) and Lanny Doan (31:44) from placing one-two in the six mile run and qualifying for the state championships. Fischer and Doan ran the first three miles together at national qualifying pace but unfortunately couldn’t hold that rate. The only other first place finish for Buffalo was John Ryerson who ran a hard 4:25.3 mile. Other strong finishers were turned in by Ken Dole (2:04) in the half mile and Mick Corcoran in the 100 and 2 20/yard dashes, who both placed second in their events. The field events were affected most by the wind. Nick Saccamano was leading the triple jump with a leap of 38’2V4”. Behind him was Bill Condon of Albany. Condon came up for his lasGjump and the wind surprisingly died for a moment leaving the way,, for Condon to go 40’1V4” to win that event. In other field events John Centra thftew the disc 120’2” for a second place there. mrii Binghamton was forced to go to the meet with it very small squad. Most of the Binghamton thin clads were observing t)ie Jewish Holiday, and thus the team was not in a competitive position. Buffalo is having its own manpower shortage. The Bulls two best men in the 100 and 220 yard dash Andy Carle and Bob Reiss quit the team to spend more time at their books. This hurt the already small squad which now ‘ numbers about 23.

Rdas Virtually every time Delia took a stand on a controversial issue, he made a bevy of enemies. This was due in part to the headstrong approach which the President took in making decisions. But it was more than that. Delia didn’t simply support issues, he created them. The major battles fought during the Delia, administration were Delia's babies, designed to enhance student life. Yet he was opposed at every turn. None of accomplishments his were garnered with unilateral support from the Student Senate, the SA Executive Committee or the Managing Editor When Dennis Delia found one door locked, he did not usually try another. He kicked, punched and battled his way until either he or the door relented.Delia was not a-proponent of the “great compromise” and was rarely willing to give a little to get a little.

SASU, a statewide student organization which lobbies in the interests of SUNY is perhaps the best indicator of the Delia style. Delia had been irked by what he t«T *be considered the organization’s superficial and lackadasical efforts to further construction' on this campus. He felt that SASU had been expending its energies on wooing such non-member schools as SUNY Stony Brook in an attempt to further its own finances rather than fighting for the survival of its faithful constituents. “I’U be damned,” he said, “if I’m going to spend $11,000 (in dues] to have someone fight against us.” The principle target of Delia’s anger was SASU President John Duggan, who, Delia claimed, was leading the charge for Stony Brook construction. When word came that Stony Brook would receive top priority in SUNY-wide construction, the outraged Delia presented before the Student Senate a proposal calling for tf Buffalo withdrawal from SASU. Upon receiving word of Delia’s actions, SASU official? made a rare appearance at this campus. The Senate debate soon became a one-on-one battle between Delia and Duggan, with the Senate finally voting 16-9-5 to remain in SASU. Ramsey Clark on revision of Federal Criminal Code Lobbyists The defeat was a devastating blow to the SA President who had considered Senate support on the matter to be a barometer of its confidence in Jum as a leader.

Kincade .spoke at a forum attended by about 40 persons Thursday evening in Haas Lounge. Kincade began by detailing the ‘*relevant*moder for provocation of nuclear war. He noted that current political policymakers stress the concept of the rapid, attack a unprovoked by superpower. However, he stated, “If you look at the history of the world, you will find that surprise attacks are infrequent and not often very successful.” He further remarked, “Studies of warfare show that a more relevant model for the onset of war is one similar to the situation which evolved into World War I.” In that instance, Kincade explained that World War I occurred when, “communication broke down, trivialities were distorted, and shouts of war were more apt to be heard.” Kincade, who is the Executive Director of the Arms Control Association, gave a speech entitled “The Nuclear Arms Race: the Race Nobody Wins.” He former Naval intelligence officer and language specialist who served years active eight duty, concentrating mainly on analysis of the Soviet mllitaiy.

Kin cade asked the audience to, “look at the world from a Soviet standpoint The United States is threatened by one single superpower alone while Russia must face a threat by all other nuclear powers.

The vapor was subsequently by explained seismogcaphic abnormalities. Kincade siad this incident occurred during Gerald Ford’s administration. In response to a question from concerning a listener the economic basis for U.S. participation in the arms race, Kin cade gave this summation: “The whole thing is fun on the basis of American apathy.

The motion was drawn up as a result of the present Executive Committee’s dismissal of Jeff Lessoff as Vice Chairman of Sub Board, a move which many considered to be “purely political.” SA President Richard Mott voted for the resolution only weeks aftet he partook in LcssofTs dismissal. Mott said he believed that removal of executive officers was a power “that should rest with the Senate.” When asked Jjf he saw a-conflict between his vote and his handling of Lessoff, Mott simply said that if the rule had been in effect, Lesson's removal would have been handled differently. He termed the resolution a good one since it “limits chances of an arbitrary removal due to personality conflicts.” He added that LcssofTs firing had nothing to do with such conflicts and he believes that the Senate would have voted to remove Lessoff anyway. Lessoffs successor, Jane Baum, concurred with Mott’s opinions In response to criticism that Lessoff was fired while he was worldng on crucial projects, Mott said, “It’s funny he had saved all of those projects for the last three weeks of his term.” J Sour grapes The sponsor of the resolution, SA Speakers Bureau Chairman and Senator David Hartzband commented, “The resolution wasn’t a personal knock to Rich Mott. I think he’s doing a good job. It was a knock to this power of the President because 1 felt he was too powerful m this respect.” Harzband commented that he introduced the motion because he believed Lessoff had been treated “very unfairly” in his removal. Hartzband suggested that lie echoed the feeling of many people working in the SA offices. Former SA President Dennis Delia blocked Lessoffs attempt to pass the resolution last month by utilizing a rare presidential power, postponing the motion for erne Senate meeting.

Also elected to an officer’s position was current Sub Board Publication Division Director Mike Volan who becomes Vice Chairman. Volan will retain his division directorship until a new director is chosen within the next few weeks. He succeeds Jeff Lessoff who was removed as Vice Chairman March 15 in a dispute with the new SA administration. Baum had been serving as Vice , Chairman in the interim. Sub-Board Treasurer Dennis Black was re-elected for another term, although he raised the possibility of resigning "at the end of August for personal reasons. Black said he was “looking forward” to serving as Treasurer again. Black noted that his re-election will “provide the background Experience” during Sub-Board’s budget hearings this summer that they (Baum and Volan) don’t have.” Black also remarked that his retention will aid in Sub Board’s current transition from a manual to computer accounting program. One of the most bizarre and savage murders in American history was the subject of author and prosecutor Vincent BugUosi’s lecture Wednesday night in the Fillmore Aoom. Bughosi, chief prosecutor in the celebrated Charles Manson case and author of the best selling book Heiter Skelter based mi the story of the Manson family spoke for two hours before a spellbound audience and then answered questions for an another hour. As he unravelled the full account of the well publicized trial, BugUosi interrupted his talk to scold distracting photographers in the standing room only audience. According to Bugliosi, Manson did not act alone, unlike other mass murderers in the past such as the Boston strangler. Manson was the leader of a “family” of young people who were virtually under his complete control. They ifiurdered on orders from Manson, and although not all of them were always veiling to kill, they never questioned his authority. While there may have been up to 50 or 60 followers of Manson, Bugliosi said there were about 24 “hard core” members of the family, mostly girls between the ages of 13 to 27. — — - Vincent Bugliosi: 'The Family killed out of love for Charlie. They ware not coerced. They acted voluntarily.' ' further thickened when one defense attorney disappeared and was later discovered to be killed by a Manson family member. Manson’s influence over his followers continued even while he was in jail, as two of them conducted a vigil outside the courthouse during the trial. Death sentence commuted According to Bugliosi, Manson believed he had conclusive evidence that the Beatles were speaking directly to him after hearing a sudden burst of machine gun fire and a distant, almost inaudible voice, crying, “Charlie, Charlie” on the Beatle’s White album. Manson was sentenced to death, but his term was reduced to life imprisonment after a 1972 - Supreme Court decision ruled capital punishment to be unconstitutional. Bugliosi said he sees “IHtie ; chance of MansOn being paroled at any time in the near future and does not believe that Manson could never be rehabilitated to live any kind of CUBA, SOVIET UNION & ""' v DEPENDENCY i by . 0 v. Dr. William Leogrande Political Science Dept. Hamilton College normal life.” During the question and answer period, Bugliosi remarked that he had a flexible attitude on capital punishment. He believes deterrent value of the death sentence was not given a fair chance when the punishment was not applied, “so that it becathe nothing more than a dead letter.” Bugliosi suggested that life was imprisonment probably equally valuable as a deterrent, “but only where no chance of 1 -' ■ Frenzied killers Bugliosi, who described the details of the Manson crimes, trial and psyche, told the crowd, “Manson created a band of frenzied killers. They relished killing. Victims who were stabbed to death, were found with mortem hundreds of post wounds.” He remarked that the victims of “the political slaying?,” who were selected at random, “were white and always prosperous.” Bugliosi said, “On the night after the Tate murder, Manson selected the LaBianca home after cruising through suburban Los Angeles looking for more victims.” Bugliosi said he was able to prove members of the Manson family were “legally sane” at the time they committed the atrocities. The test for legal insanity is whether the accused knows that what he'has done is wrong in the eyes of, and according tor the standards of foclpty. “The Manson family deidy knew what they did was wrong because they fled from the scene and attempted to cover the evidence of their crimes,” said Bugliosi. “The family killed out of love for Charlie. They were not coerced. They acted voluntarily.” The Manson trial, which was -Orablk Wednesday, April 26 at 3:00 pm Room 362 Fillmore Ellicott Complex f Sponsored by Council on International Studies parole exists.” COLLEGE COUNCIL ELECTIONS / one of the longest and most expensive in history, was affected by President Richard Nixon’s remark that Manson was guilty.

I think appeasement of minority students on this campus has gone far enough. This is supposed to be an institution of higher education, not a nursery school where EOP students from NYC come to team reading and writing, those basic skills they should have teamed years before. As for the BSU, the more money they get, the more funds they abuse. Don’t we all remember 2 years ago, right around Christmas vacation, when the SA treasurer was “roughed for not bowing flown to the additional monetary requests of 3 BSU "toughs.’’ Do they represent enough black students to receive $50,000, or do they expect their phone bill to be quite excessive next year.

I’m disappointed, to say the least, in the. way the Faculty Senate has dealt with the recent allegations against President Ketter/ Granted, this is no Ketter-Gate affair, but some very serious claims have been levied against our president and his administration. It is unfortunate that neither the College Council, nor the Facility-Senate, nor the. administrators who whispered their malcontent behind a facade of loyalty, had the guts to openly discuss the matter, let alone take a stand. \ At last Tuesday’s Faculty-Senate meeting, I asked what, if any, action Senate would be taking pertaining to the alleged disenchantment with President Ketter.

I agreed and followed the unmarked Campus Security car to their offices on Millesport Hwy. Once inside the office building I was informed that I was to be detained until the matter was resolved. During this time one officer repeatedly chanted that I should be locked up and another told me that 1 should be locked up and shipped off to Nebraska immediately. I was placed in a smaH room to await the outcome of their investigation. After two hours of waiting I overheard one officer say that they had just decided to call Nebraska about the matter. At this I called my attorney and explained my aituation. He told me that he would confer with his associate who specializes in criminal law and that I should call , . , back. After waiting another two hours the lieutenant on duty said that even though 6y identification was valid they still were not sure that I was not this fellow Lloyd from Nebraska and that it could take up to another five hours to clear the matter. I then called back my attorney who spoke to a Mr. Griffin, the head: of Campus Security. After their brief telephone conversation I was released. i am forced to choose between two equally distasteful conclusions. The first is that this is an overt case of pohtical harassment. The evidence marshalling for this position is that when I asked one of the officen if he knew what I was doing when I was on the Amherst Campus, he answered that I was leaflcting for the Daily World which is the newspaper of the Communist Party, U S A. They also required three sequential computer searches to come up with this Nielsen warrant The first war to .determine my name from my car plat* number; the - second was a run down on me personally, and thh' third was to uae W 1381 name to see if there was a warrant out Tor with the same last name which could be used as Justification to stop and * 1 ,*1 detain me The xcond one might derivc the incredible incompetency of Campus Security This inclusion could be derived from their inability to establishThat I was indeed Lance Nielsen as adduced by my New York State Driver’s License. Social Security card, voter registration card and UB's own picture identification card. This type of logic would justify the apprehension and indeterminate detention of any person sharing a last name with any other person who has a warrant outstanding for his or her arrest, r I'don’t feel compelled to decide between the alternative conclusions. 1 do, however, feel competed to demand not only a formal apology from Mr. Griffin and Campus Security for my inconvenience, but also monetary reimbursement for the legal expenses and lest time they forced me to incur. . , ,. ■ Sheldon Gopstein S>4 Director of Academic Affairs .

Staff Writer Wednesday marked the grand re-location opening of Emma, the Buffalo women’s bookstore at the corner of Main and Greenfield Streets. Located on Fillmore Avenue for the past two years, the collectively-run bookstore moved mainly so that it would be more accessible to the community and to women, said member Jessica Dilworth. - , Approximately ten women share their skills in the Emma Collective so that each one learns all aspects of the business. Each member knows how to deal with pay landlords, bills, do bookkeeping and order materials. No one is paid for their work and major decisions are discussed by all. .. Members of the Collective fek that many. potential customers avoided visiting the previous location because of its reputation as a dangerous area. Dana Haparsteck said that Fillmore was “not a bad ared” but noted die existence of myths about racial problems in the area. Conflict arose when the collective feared that tl\e move would further perpetuate the myths. Although members felt safe working on Fillmore Avenue, they wanted to reach those who feared the neighborhood “to give them a chance to see Emma," Haparsteck said. The decision to relocate was made, though it was seen as Emma’s books traveled in a van for six months before occupying the Fillmore location. The location on the corner of Main Street is in a busier neighborhood. Emma is now nearer' to the University yet not so'close tfiaT other women wouldn’t shop there. The Greenfield Street vegetarian restaurant located a few doors down is another collective and the two businesses help each other. , The women at Emma find that working with 10 other women provides “community of a support”. They find it satisfying r ' —Orablk WOMEN'S (BOOKSTORE) MOVEMENT: Emma, and Greenfield Street*, where members hope it will the Buffalo women’s bookstore, has moved to Main be more accessible to the community. that operating a business is not a mystery. Haparsteck said that .the collective understands capitalism and taxes better through work at Emma and how “large corporations up eat small businesses.” Most women remain in the collective for year. a In book-order decisions, “not one woman has more power than another even if she has been there longer,”' Haparsteck informed. Emma two major carries categories of books those relating directly to women and those dealing with opporessed — groups. Included in the women’s works are literature pertaining to working women, skills generally denied to women (do-it-yourself repair and oppressed groups is directed towards social, political, and economic opporessed groups is directed towards social, political, and economic changes for Third World countries Black people, children, socialists. - anarchists, and communists. Record albums are also stocked. The collective is composed of “feminists who see the liberation of women as integral to die oppressed liberation of all people,” said Haparsteck. This view is a “way of doing things, not a philosophy,” she related, stressing that Emma is stronger because it is owned by the community it serves, and always to other open people’s suggestions.

Said Levine, “We have lost resources since 1975 and are in more financial trouble than before. I have no new resources to put in.” Levine concurred with Bunn on the possible need for a new proposal due to the .age of the old one.

Working with an annual budget that fills far short of allowing for an recruitment, Hirsch remains optimistic. “Even the budget cuts we received this season won’t hurt us too much other than shortening our schedule by a match or two,” he said.

Bob Spendie’s goal with ten -seconds fire remaining in game gave the Lacrosse Bulls a stunning 9-8 upset win over the Slippery Rock Rockets Wednesday afternoon. Spendie’s goal came after Slippery Rock fought off a 7-3 deficit in the third period. The Rockets tied the game at eight all with just over six minutes remaining. The Bulls played well at the outset of the game. Except for a fluke goal which gave the Rockets an early 1-0 lead, the club executed well enough to build a half-time lead of 6-2. Midfielders Craig Kirkwood, Larry Leva, Vince Whiteside, and Spendle were Ml sharp during the initial half, passing the ball with unerring precision. Goalie Prank DiTondo was unbeatable in the first half, stopping nine of eleven shots directed at him. “They shot pretty well,” commented DiTondo, although he admitted several Rockets didn’t get much zip into their ■; shots. — ' ‘ • < Extra man Buffalo socred on its first man down situation, which isaimilar to a power play in hockey.

Although play in the third period was consistent, US’s stamina started to become a factor. “We ran out of gas,” said co-captain Massaro. “In the first half, it was legs over numbers, but it caught up with us.” / Sure winner? With a four goal lead, the Bulls looked like a sure winner. However, a series of penalties called against Buffalo in the early minutes quickly put Slippery Rock back in the game. UB held on to an 8-5 lead when DiTondo was called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

It also returned the ultimate power of choosing the site of “Springiest" back to Director of Activities and Services Barry Rubin, who will most likely schedule the event at Amherst (see page 2). Faculty votes ‘no’; SA ‘yes’ on Ketter inquiry—he’s calm by Jay Rosen his brief “business as usual” address, Ketter told Faculty members that he would entertain Managing Editor The Senate responded with silence disenchantment whipped around him and infant steps toward investigating his removal were taken on several fronts. Ketter told the Faculty Senate Tuesday that he will proceed in address the Student Senate.

The Senate then proceeded with its two-hour agenda until under “new business” Professor John D. Milligan rose to offer a courteously worded motion expressing appreciation for the President’s efforts to resolve budget and construction problems but requesting that he seek out faculty opinion on University — — pfbblems. The Faculty Senate, eyeing the tenuous position in which Ketter has been thrust, feared the resolution would be interpreted as —continued on p«9* 2— — - dorms.

Executive Committee member Scott Jiusto said, “It will inconvenience about two-thirds fewer students than originally planned and it will acquiesce to Housing in its plan to overload the dorms.” Joel Mayersohn Community.” Another resolution condemned the UB College Council for abusing the state Open Meetings Law by retreating behind closed doors Monday to discuss alleged Robert Ketter, University President disenchantment with Ketter. It also calls for SA Attorney Richard Lippes to investigate any legal action that might be taken against the Council. A third resolution calls on the Faculty Senate, College Council, the SUNY Board of Trustees and SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton to immediately investigate Ketter’s performance as President. The fourth censures the Senate and College Faculty Council for “failing to address the growing of problem dissatisfaction” with the President. for an emergency meeting on among other things the current administrative crisis. Four related were in passed resolutions lightning fashion, all by stirring acclaims tion votes.

In 1966, then Director of Housing and Planning William F. Doemland said that Ridge Lea would be used for “a maximum of seven years.” A five year lease was signed with the Maret Corporation of Pittsburgh, with yearly options up to 10 years. Considering the state of stalled construction at Amherst, Ridge Lea will remain a rented reality for quite some time. Rumor has it that Ridge Lea was originally designed to be a shopping mall, but Neal reports that architect William H.

The Art, Anthropology, Bioengineering, Biophysics, Interdisciplinary Engineering, Mathematics, Philosophy, Theoretical Biology, and Computer Science Departments, along with the Computer Center were the first to occupy Ridge Lea in 1967. A year later, Geology, Geography, Political Science, Sociology, and Statistical Sciences followed. “Free and adequate bus services, recreational facilities, a food service and a library will be provided,” Doemland promised. Presently, however, no buses run on Sundays and only infrequent runs are made Saturdays and evenings. No recreational facilities or library exist.

However, the total NFG bills outstanding at the end of the 100 days set aside for the boycott numbered over 19 thousand and represented approximately $4 million. "National Fuel Gas’ admission that 20 thousand people have final notices owing nearly $4 million is a victory for the 100-Day Boycott,” proclaimed Co-Chairman of the ■: i? f' / I.

The chants echoed through the hollow between Yale University’s gothic structures. At a conference during Spring Break, more than 200 students from Stanford to Harvard, protested Yale’s $195 investments in million corporations operating in the Republic of South Africa. A student ■ from Princeton University pointed out that his school has $146 million invested in such corporations. “We are not running a competition here," he said, “We are not trying to win anything by having our respective trustees divest their portfolios. The contest we are engaged in must end up in a tie, zero lor Yale and zero for Princeton.” As sensitivity around South Africa’s apartheid issue grows in America, movements on campuses across the United States are continually pressuring trustees into divesting their portfolios. Students, pushing for divestiture argue investment in that corporations operating in South Africa is implicit support of a racist government. It is difficult to gauge the amount of money that the 350 known U.S. corporations have invested in South Africa. Spokesmen for private businesses have claimed the amount hovers around the one billion mark. Anti-apartheid supporters guess the figures are twice as high. Whatever the actual amount, it be estimated that U.S. investments are between 15 and 25 percent of all foreign capital invested in South Africa. can Specifically, how does U.S. interest in South Africa affect the system of apartheid? The question can be tricky. Supporters for Black South Africans turn the question around and ask: How does apartheid affect U.S. interest? Labor in South Africa is cheap at the expense of Blacks and colored (mixed races). According to labor surveys, non-white laborers outnumber white laborers six to one in the mines. Whites’ salaries are six times those of -non-whites. Non-whites are forbidden to organize unions, them to leaving powerless negotiate the sale of their labor.

A close look at the Cruise missile casts serious doubt on our country’s George McGovern, the 1972 matinee idol Democratic Presidential commitment to disarmament and peace.

This represents a embarked upon an embarrassing trial and error search for a departure from a policy of replacement. By the time a McGovern choice, Kennedy klanner Sargent Shriver had agreed to run, the McGovern candidacy was hurled into a deterrence vortex of controversy and confusion. by Walter Simpson Special to The Spectrum Not ynce the first days of the space race, when the Russians launched their Sputnik, have satellites been in the news so much. -In this day and age, though; it’s difficult to tell the facts from the fiction. Whegf I hear about the superpowers racing each other to develop lasgr death rays capable of blasting satellites out of the sky, I wonder whether our fascination with science fiction has gone too far. Are we the victims of a gigantic hoax? The brunt of some colossal practical joke? Indeed, it would be nice to suppose that the arms race in space is no more than a promotional gjmick preparing us for the sequel to Star Wars. Life is complicated enough without having to worry about the sky George McGovern speaks on Monday ‘ falling. warning j aa4 surveillance capability.

Haying no way of knowing whether he is being attacked, he may panic and launch his missiles because he does not want to take the chance of being hit first. Moreover, neither wants the country run-away arms race that would result from the invalidation of the nuclear arms accords. Spy satellites make the agreements possible and thus put a brake on a weapons race .that otherwise be *too costly abd dangerous to both sides. „ Recent news stories have highlighted the Soviet Union’s new hunter-killer satellites that can seek out other satellites in orbit and destroy them. These satellites have apparently shaken up certain segments of the U.S. national security establishment. Despite criticism from super-hawks who want the United States to develop and deploy hunter-killers of its own, the White House has succeeded in getting the Kremlin to agree to talks aimed at banning the satellites. Misleading reports To those of us unfamiliar with the Strangelovian machinations of the arms race, our government’s reasons for wanting the satellite ban are as mysterious as are the Soviet government’s reasons for building the killer satellites in the first place. News reports have provided us with explanations, though, as I shall explain, they have been misleading. Take, for example, the article entitled, “Russians Asked to Negotiate Satellite Killer Ban” (March 19, It states: “Preventing an arms race in space has become an important goal of the Carter Administration in view of the growing American reliance on satellites for a variety of civilian and military tasks, such as monitoring compliance to arms control agreements and providing early warning in the event of a missile attack.” the Thus, Carter Administration would have us believe that the Soviet Union is preparing to carry out a surprise attack or violate mutually arms agreed-upon control agreements. (Once again the Russians are up to no good and it’s our job to stop them!)

Spending most of his time retracting and clarifying his statements. He soon became known as the Triple A candidate, standing for amnesty, acid and abortion. Perhaps McGovern’s greatest failure was his inability to make the war in Vietnam his issue. The war had raged for four years under Nixon but McGovern failed to seize the potential Achille’s heel and turn it on the incumbent President. McGovern’s history in national politics dates back 25 years. In 1953 he became the South Dakota Democratic Party Executive Secretary and in 1956 and 1958 was elected to the House of Representatives He joined the Kennedy Administration in 1960 as the first Director of the United States Food for Peace Program and Special Assistant to the President. McGovern was elected as a Senator in 1962, and 1968, and then again in 1976 after the Presidential debacle.

We are not his niggers and this is not a plantation. The scoundrel must go. To the Editor: Deserving debate The Student Association Executive Committee is taking cautious, but significant, steps in forging an official stand on the current leadership crisis in {ha Ketter Administration. The Committee's four resolutions, passed by the Student Senate Wednesday, are firm but reasonable expressions of both doubt in Katter's administrative ability and the need to investigate, publicly, the allegations swirling about {he President. Although a trifle imprecise in their wording, the resolutions show a dear thinking, informed approach to what may prove to be SA's most important set of decisions in yean. We wish we had the same praise for the Student Senate. By passing the four resolutions in a matter of minutes without debate, without discussion without even clarification on the wording the Senate showed an alarming disregard for both the severity of the current crisis and the implications of SA's proposed stand on that crisis. The Senate voted by aoc'aimation to condemn the Faculty Senate and College Council both of which wield considerably more influence and power than SA without so much as a hand raised. While this may be a strong show of support for the Executive Committee's judgement, it may also hint at a careless and uninformed attitude on the Senate's part. In a way, each person present in Haas Lounge shares some responsibility for not interrupting the steamrolling acclaimetions and urging intelligent debate. But Senate members must be singled out. It is their responsibility to insure that on this gravest of matters SA is doing the right thing. The resolutions, though all well-intentioned, deserve debate. It's that simple. — - - - — - The My compliments on Monday’s stories and editorial concerning the Ketter Administration. Ol’ Bob is probably shitting enough bricks to complete the Amherst Campus. Now that he has been exposed Gil Lawrence Undignified attack community, but particularly a university. Although I am one of those characterized as being in an “acting position,” I must express my disgust and disappointment at your fack of professionalism. It reflects badly on you and your publication; but more importantly, it reflects unjustly on a man who has always served with the highest of integrity and ability on behalf of our University and it has been my pleasure to have observed this at close quarters ever since he joined our faculty. I trust that the University community will continue to use its good judgment and get on with its job of education, research and service To the Editor. A University staffed with learned scholars and attended by able students, such as this institution, is thrice blessed if its issues and concerns are fairly presented and discussed. I regret to say that this did not occur in your lead story concerning President Robert L. Ketter in your issue of April 17. The article was based on rumors that were admitted to be false, rumors such as the “Powder Keg” reference that will prove to be false, and to a great extent, innuendos and allegations made by unnamed disgrunted and/or self-serving individuals. The spring game this year seems to be “Pile On,” with rules used that are beneath the dignity of any Charles M. Fogel Other matters be fully concerned with other matters, so concerned that the conference failed to receive mention in the Backpage section on the day of the event. This is in spite of hand delivery of all information on the conference at least a week before hand. We have since been advised that had we been sponsoring a wet T-shirt contest, or some event of similar relevance to student life, we might have made the front page. Very well, since the response from those who did attend was so favorable, we are planning to hold another conference with the same format next March, and all participants will be wearing wet T-shirts. That’s eleven months away, Mr Rosen. Think The Spectrum can handle it within that time? To the Editor. As you may know, and as your readers probably do not, there was a student-run, University-wide conference on communicative behavior this past Friday and Saturday. This conference featured students’ research on this broad topic, and the participants included students and faculty of eight departments in the social sciences from U.B. and Buffalo State. v One would imagine that an all student conference on communication might be of interest to the students of this University, and to the major campus media. The local newspapers were interested, Channel 7 News was interested, even the Reporter was interested. However, The Spectrum seemed to time to act We find it surprising and somewhat disturbing that the Faculty Senate would not tike the opportunity or perhaps the responsibility to question President Ketter on the alleged disenchantment in his Administration. Considering Ketter's open invitation Tuesday to respond to any Senator's inquiries, we see- no reason why Senate with ail due respect to the President members did not ask for a response to the flurry of allegations against him. It is our opinion that .the Faculty Senate as one of the most influential and important representative bodies in the University would be dearly within its rights to verbalize the deep community concerns that even Ketter admitted filled the room Tuesday. Michael Yates Moreover, with the Faculty dearly looking for more influence in University-wide decisions, we would expect the Senate to take a leadership role itself and at least initiate public debate on the current crisis. .

Chances are you have never been in one, but you have probably seen one. Remember seeing police beat-up and harass long-haired college students who were demonstrating for peace? Well, the war is over (?), demonstrations are practically non-existent, but the problems are still with us big - problems. One of the biggest problems around, especially at this University, is apathy. Sure, everybody complains, fcut who does something to help? Well, it’s time fori all of us to do something.

In order for that idea to become a reality, a successful reality, apathy must be extinguished. The present “establishment” calls us the leaders of tomorrow. Why wait until tomorrow, tomorrow may never come. Let’s show The “establishment” that we are ready and willing to act today so there will be a tomorrow. On Saturday, April 29, come to Ellicott, wave your banners, show your signs, chant your slogans, or, if none of this appeals to you, come out and party. The point is not so much to right a wrong, but to show our power, the power that can’t be stagnant forever. Please come out and make this day be remembered as a success.

Strike out? Well, you can always trudge forward on your own, take a chance with the lottery, and end up at Bethune (yes, I know it’s the art building!). Housing will find a way to put you where you don’t want to be. You don’t want to live in a college, but want to live in Ellicott? You can forget Fargo and Porter. They are entirely colleges. There’s always Richmond (not too appealing, huh). Red Jacket (not interested (smaller rooms and not as many lounges) or good ole Spaulding (isolated). No, threatening housing will not help! There is a problem with housing in Ellicott: the colleges take up too much room and are concentrated in the same areas. Each Quad should have a part set aside that is not part of th| colleges. These parts should not be bombarded by the nearest college either. I know it’s important to recruit people, but aren’t signs enough? Do you have to be bugged by an RA to come to some coffee hour or TGIF (thank God it’s Friday) party. The situation is getting a bit out of hand. I would like to criticize the final exam policy at fhis University. Many students begin preparing for finals weeks in advance. As of now, there are approximately three weeks left and the exam schedule has not been posted. How can students properly plan ahead on their study when they don't know the date, or order of their exams. There should be no reason why this information cannot be made available sooner.

The main reason is the delays caused by the slow opening land closing of the car doors. There is a minimum delay period of about ten seconds for which the doors remain open and the riders can be seen staring helplessly into the corridors as the doors open and stay open in their inexorable majesty. (In contrast, the elevators in Chpen Hall dose briskly at the touch of a button.) This “short” period may seem to be trivial, but accumulated over the numerous stops the elevators nuke in the tallest budding in the Amherst campus, it sums up to irritated riders who see no reason to I would like to respond to a few remarks made 1>y Pig House in the Friday issue of The Spectrum. Before I do this, however, I would like to state that pigs are being done a great injustice when their name is used to signify such a creature as the Pig House. First of all, P. House attempts to show that because certain species of animals ore domesticated, it is all right to brutalize them, and later, eat them. He supports this contention by pointing out that without being domesticated, these animals would have become extinct long ago. This notion is indeed an odd one, for it seems that this statement implies that existence is superior to non-existence. Since non-existence is nothing, how can we compare existence which can be measured to that which . “half of their time” waiting for them. The official explanation is that sufficient delay must be given for handicapped people to use the elevators. No one would dispute this. But how about that magic button Close Sesame (marked “Close Door”). This is meant for people who don’t require the delay to override it. But no! The delay override has itself been delayed. I have often seen harried people frustratedly jabbing this button while cynical “regulars” watch scornfully and the elevators extend their arms wide open waiting for the whole floor to make it.- Will someone please save everyone’s valuable time by activating the “Close Door” buttons?

Last semester we were served fresh rolls at least three times a week. Come on Richmond Food Service, what'S the matter with youf The other dining halls don’t seem to have any trouble keeping their rolls fresh? The only explanation that I can-see, is that Richmond is getting all of Red Jacket’s leftover dinner rolls, or there is some big FSA executive who is trying to get his patrons to eat less bread. If the latter is true, it’s working. And it’s wasting a lot of fbod that we people on board paid for. arrive I have heard plenty of complaints about Food Service, but most of the complaints are generalized and don’t point to one single problem. 1 have a gripe for Food Service also, but mine is directed at the way bread is continually being wasted every day at Richmond pining Hall.

Why ring this deficit? Simply because the Editor’s Note: Fred Wawrzonek revian*j r does not know how to dial a telephone Layout Editor position before the ;ar 1 th in though * rf° “■ „ ZJ* . ,, be measured? Further, even if such . lets say that from birth, P. House is shackled from the neck, making it impossible for House to move, then we place him in a tiny cell, thus minimizing any stimulus that House may otherwise encounter. Furthermore, we feed House a liquid diet defficient in iron, causing severe anemia, which is indicated by House’s continual dirreahea. Maybe here, P. House would want to say that this quality of existence is not to his liking, and would perhaps prefer non-existence to this deprivation. Well, veal calves are bred in this fashion, and we perpetuate this brutality by purchasing veal in supermarkets and restaurants. Therefore, it appears that in thise case, non-existence may be superior to existence. Secondly, Mr. House has learned to respect animals by hunting and killing them. I pray that House does not learn to respect humans by the same means. Some claim that they learn to respect animals by observing their unique behavior, others learn to respect animals by appreciation of their sentience, intelligence, or beauty. To learn respect by hunting and killing animals seems to me at least to be confused. Those things 1 respect 1 do not wish to destroy by virtue of the meaning of respect. I believe you abuse the English language when you claim to respect animals while you hunt them. Thirdly, House claims that since man is “the only real predator for many species,” he should go out and hunt animals for the animals benefit, as some members of animal populations would die of starvation in the wild because some groups are overpopulated. I agree that overpopulation is a real problem (for a few species of animals, squirrels for one are not overpopulated), however, I do not agree that hunting is the best solution to this problem. When we discuss hunting, we must weigh the costs as well as the benefits to determine whether hunting is beneficial to certain populations of animal species. What are the costs? 1. When shot, a high percentage of animals are wounded and not killed, causing great suffering. 2. Hunters generally shoot big and strong animals (genetically superior) over small and weak animals (genetically inferior). On a large scale, this can lead, and in some cases has led, to genetic deterioration of animal populations, which is more damaging to populations than most anything. 3. Some hunters take more animals than the law specifies. 4. Hunters deprive other humans from enjoying nature, for many people do not want to risk the chance of being shot by incompetant hunters. S'. Hunters have terrorized land owners by shooting pets, and ravaging property.’ 6. Hunters sometimes shoot othar hunters. 7. Hunters terrorize the hunted animalf To me, these considerations hold much weight. Therefore, 1 would look to alternatives to hunting when there is a need to curtail populations, like introducing natural preditors, implementing birth control programs, or relocation, before I'jump on the hunters bandwagon. In today’s modernized sodiety.'there exists no necessity to, kill animals for our nutritional needs. Delicious fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and nuts can provide us with all our nutritional requirements. By eating these products furthermore, we would not have to be burdened with high cholesterol or the idea that We are brutally killing v animals for our luxury. Your life style, House, insults us, and all of those who are concerned for the welfare of non-human animals on this planet. Your total disregard for an animal’s sentience frightens me as well, as it may demonstrate a dfcfcr deficiency in your capacity of self control, which may spill over to your actions with humans as well. 1 wholeheartedly encourage you, and those who agree with you, to reconsider your ideas in respect to our duties to animals, as perhaps you are not honestly dealing with harsh realities of man’s utter abuse of animals.

Chairman of the Committee on Colleges Jonathan Reichert said, “The revisions included in this new Prospectus are not terribly significant and that the changes adopted by the College Council radical major include, no alterations.” According to Retchert, the greatest political change'of the document is found in Article III which states that “the College Council members shall nbt vote on the final of recommendations the Committee but shall otherwise be fully participating and have the right to submit written statements to be' included with the final are from the collegiate system, bringing to their potential position, Reichert said. Full support According to Lee Dryden, a member of the Faculty Senate Committee on the Colleges, “The CoUeges arc in full support of the reworking of the Prospectus; chartering is a major strength of the system.” He added, “The relationship between the Colleges and the Senate Faculty Committee on the. Colleges is friendly and cooperative and I hope to see extensive faculty cooperation in the collegiate system”,. According to outgoing Dean of Colleges Irving Spitzberg, “The Colleges exist as an intellectual neighborhood for the faculty, staff and the students and the constitution allows for change in order to make this system work. The document was agreed to by formal vote . of the College. •„ Council” The second issue discussed at length at the meeting was the Proposed Faculty By-Laws, drawn up bV' Associate Dean and Professor of taw Bill Greiner. According to Greiner, “This document is still in the process of rewriting; it is still a draft in the Committee process which has yet to be corrected.” . The purpose of the first reading of the document was to reports of the Committee.” This obtain the reactions of the change was included because the Faculty Senate and to incorporate members of the Colleges Council their suggestions. Two items * Applicants sought which are yet to be drafted are the preamble and the savings clause. The preamble win explain that the Faculty Senate is a federal agency and that it is subject to impingements of State and Federal Law. The savings clause is a customary statement designed to assure the standing of the document if one of the provisions are struck down. Proper way A major item included in this document is the double veto power of the President and his delegates and the Faculty Senate. The view of the Senate is that the double veto will result in joint agreement of matters the proper way to run a university on collegiate and curriculum matters. In this way, no policy can be made without representation of the faculty through the Faculty Senate. This would be a significant strengthening of the Senate’s current powers. The rest of the by-laws come largely out of the existing ones. One major change discussed at the meeting was the reduction of the term of office of the Chairman of the Faculty Senate from three years','to two and one half. Although the members of the Faculty Senate remain largely unchanged, the number of senators representing the faculty was reduced from 90 to 75. The charter and the by-laws must be adopted by the Senate by majority vote. Commentary Imv. i Internships lacking minority participation by Susan Gray Spectrum Staff Writer Two Administrative Internship programs developed to encourage the participation of minority group University faculty members were “designed not to succeed,” according to Associate Professor of Microbiology Diane Jacobs. rr--;: The pilot programs were established to give tenured facility an opportunity to gain expertise in the administrative field. Under-represented groups, specifically women,, minorities and the handicapped, are being sought to participate in these programs. Internships are available* in Health Sciences and Academic Affairs. In a statement to the Faculty Senate on February 1, 1978,, President Ketter announced the establishment of the Internships, and also solicited advice in development and implementation of the programs. To date, a limited response has been received six definite applications and 21 requests for further information. f Personnel Director Robert Pearson was “at a loss to explain” the lack of inquiries. He attributed the poor attention tp “bad publicity and bad timing spring schedules have already been set and vacations may intervene.” Pearson stressed the value of the. programs, emphasizing the possibility of career advancement, arid -future employment opportunities. “You could start on a career path which may Head to the presidency of some institution,” he said; “Not necessarily this institution, but not excluding here.” " — - — ‘Too nebulous’ Jacobs, an active member of the AssociatirSTfor "Women In Science, disagreed. She criticized the program on several points, expressing regret at a waste of potential. A major drawback of both Internship plans is their structure, Jacobs stated. “There is no definite program as such,” she said, continuing that no guidelines are provided it is. left up to the individual to design his or her own prograny-Jacobs questioned the ability of an individual to design a program of study in a field in which she/he has no background/“It’s too nebulous,” she reiharked. The end results of the internships are questionable, Jacobs continued. The programs offer rio guarantee ,,pf administrative employment upon completion. Although training may prove yaluable on a resume, actual experience would take precedence, she noted. The Internship in Academic Affairs has not yet been .developed. ’ • ' - 27- Zimbabwe arms struggle “We believe that we are not going to win over the Third World as well as by most members of the the negotiation table what we cannot win in the U.N. ■ battleground.

Chirau, in what he described as steps towards black majority rule. Ian Smith’s plans permit the white minority to retain complete hold over the government while giving a facade of black participation in the same.

It is this internal pressure and not the rumored Soviet-Cuban intervention, Mr. Kangai said, that is compelling Ian Smith to surrender step by step and is forcing Britain and U.S. to come to terms with the Patriotic Front. Kangai repeatedly acknowledged the support given by the Buffalo community in the form of clothings, medicine, money, etc., to the Zimbabwean refugees and guerrillas. He urged for the continuation and further intensification of these supportive efforts. -Raju . Friday, 21 April 1978 The Spectrum Page eleven . . �Kent State saga and Justice . * U«l 1.

It's the world's most flexible label. And even with the late departure of Elvis Costello and Nick Lowe to Radar Records, Stiff Records has almost cornered the market from whence comes that fabulous stuff, shakin' pop. In probably the most amazing three Weeks of the late seventies, there appeared four releases on the American market guaranteed to satisfy unlike anything since Motown, the Who, the Stones, the Beatles, the Dixie Cups, Phil Spcctor and else anything worthwhile in pop music ever to be marketed in the form of a flat piece of black plastic with a hole in the middle. Those people at Stiff have captured back the banner of rock and roll for the poseurs and pretenders. This rock and roll from England can take over the airwaves and reign as British rock used to, before it got all glommed over with synthesizers and concepts and other instruments of destruction. There is a certain amount of incest in most musical circles. Especially as rock grows older, the inbreeding takes an almost superhuman effort to be avoided. Rut it goes on relentlessly, more &ften than not producing the tired blood that is" the biggest known killer of royalty. Witness the demise of the country rock dmpire here in America. Gram Parsons wasn’t the only thing that died. Eventually with him went Poco (yeah, they're wimps and all but remember the second and third albums), the Flying Burrito Brothers, Crosby, Stills and Nash in a strange way, practically everyone from the foundations except mabe Neil Young. The music that is the current by-product of that era has a hard time matching the first round. So the dangers of the ties not being able to withstand the continuous corsstracking are evident. But with these Pebpfe the r -v Stiff i. i . } Frio music is still relatively unexplored on this side of the Aitanic. And even though the stuff has been around, it feels that they have achieved the perfect compound of familial love and rock and roll talem,-if \«jlhtout the dangerous symwpm*. The key can be found in "The Beat," from Elvis Costello’s This Year's Model. With keyboard player Steve Naive doing his best to keep Question Mark and the Mysterians alive, Elvis sings "On the beat, on the UPbeat." The need for dancing music is fast flowing through these peoples veins, right through the old capillaries to the fingertips and out onto the instruments. So what if Ian Drury's got the drunken pub beat ("B lllericay Dickie"), Nick Lowe the pop beat (but there is a great deal more to be said about that), Costello the bullet-but-sometimes-a-ballad beat and Stiffs Live any other general manie that may be uncovered. They've got those three minute classics on the wax and (as can be witnessed by attending the April 25 show at the Shea's) the people back out on the dance floor. Hell, man, if you can't get up by yourself Elvis will gladly give you a hand. He might even do that whether you want it or not. The ideal way to approach the three studio releases is to treat yourself to the primer live The hilarity of the interchangeable credits is heightened by the humor of all the artists. Suffice to say that one of Lowe's numbers is entitled "Let's- Eat" and One of Dury's is "Wake Up and Make Love With Me." Wreckless Eric appears as the kid who mewled his way out of elementary school chorus practice. Larry Wallis' Psychedelic Rowdies in "Police Cat" takes Johnathan Rich man's "I’m a Little Airplane" one step ove the line, tmagin what a fuckin’ pisser it must have been with all these rock and rollers on one stage at one time, singing "SEX and DRUGS and ROCK and ROLL and —" being Dury the instigator, rounding up the troops. And so It goes. The album is really beyond any other live one. And probably better to dance to than any other live this year, too. It is Dury's perverse delivery C. present A movie for people who love movies JACQUECINE BISSET WIENIINACORIESE DANI ALEXANDRA STEWART JEAN-RERRE AUMONT JEAN CHAMPION JEAN-RERRE LEAUD FRANCOIS TRUFFAUT Friday, Fillmore 170 Tickets at Squire Hall until 6 pm & at 167 Fillmore after 7:30 pm Saturday, Farber 150 Tickets at Squire Hall Admission for Univ. students STILL $1.00 L u at 7:46 & 10 pm Non-Students $1.50 that most is identifiable with the » rowdiness of Stiffs Uve's fiel, and , it is not much diminish.-.d by the studio (indeed, the album Jaclwt proudly proclaimed that this record was produced by nobody). Dury is definitely a man of the streets, as KHbUrn (Kilbum and the Highroads, an earlier band of Dury's) is an Irish ghetto in England, and his ability to sound raucous and he highly canny in his observations catches you off guard. But he ain't no Weedin' thickie, and the raucousness can be successfully transmitted even in the touching "My Old Man." New Boots and Panites may scare some, but you can't help but be partial to Duty's abracadabra. Elvis Costello doesn't fit in in quite the same way. In fact, whefe he does fit here (and speaking in larger terms, in the scene in general) is one of the toughest questions to answer. To just say, he is New Wave is' often immediately alienating and doesn't explain for all the Bruce Spreinsteen freaks that find him so appealing. People are still digesting My Aim Is True, and there is already This Year's Model. It's the same enigma, Elvis crooning “Little sniggers on your lips/Little triggers in your grips/Little triggers, my hand on hip. . ." The anger and and incredible balled interpretation all contained in one song is explosive. “No action" explodes also, in a song so full of an understanding of what 60's Who were all about that it wouldn't even be an insult if that band picked up on it. "I keep thinking about your mother/Well I don't want to lick them/l don't want to be your lover/l just Want i to be your victim." He don'X.likf her bangin', put. with physical jerks, but it's'no less threatening than if he were some kind of bruiser himself. There isn't much known about Costello's past, but at least there is a viry. obvious amount of songwriting practice in his lyrics. And with Nick Lowe's production, Costello 'IS again immediately as compelling as with the first record. There hak to be something more at work than just the novelty of Costello (and that is complimentary unique is probably a better adjective, but a misused one) your saracasm ' — Which leaves us with Lowe. And this many lines of writing already on the page, it's to his disadvantage. I could write a whole article on Nick Lowe being the last pop genius, the second coming of Phil Spector, let alone marvelous and amazing and astounding and all the other boring words like that. Nick Lowe has taken his time with this album, the follow up to a string of singles and an LP entitledBowi (a take off on that man's Low). His occasional appearances at Costello shows this spring introduced Heart of the City" and Breaking Glass" (and talk ?bout being able to write paragraphs about something! Jesus! "Grass" is right up there with "Good Vibrations" and "J Wanna Hold Vour Hand"), two of the three singles on the American release (the British one doesn't have "Rollers Show,” but that single is available at Play It Again Sam or through Bomp records). These are two of the most perfect examples Lowe’s appreciation of the pop 45. It maf not ?be long and complicated, but it's fun and besides, most of us at this age and reading- this paper now are about at the Hge where we could hardly remember much besides those great Motown and Spector singles we used to waste our sixty-nine Ort so religiously. While it. would be impossible to disclaim all his heavy native influences, Lowe is reverent of the Americans. There's Beach Boys and Motown and pure Dixie Cups in "Rollers Show." It's all of pop music at once, proving one more undeniable time that the weight of heavy ness (not to be confused with Heavy Metal) had to be shed now and then. Let them castrate Castro, let Marie Provost get chewed up by her dog, who gives a shit about politics? On the back of the American release, you can see Lowe dressed as the Riddler of Batman days. Who is he, nobody but where pop is is where he goes. And there you have it. Even if you can wear out an album a week, that means there's a month of music for you in these four records. And don't forget the show (Costello and Lowe with Mink Deville at Shea's on the 25th, Dory opening for Lou Reed at Buff State on the 28th).

One of the major focuses attempted in this issue was to highlight the new rock and roll in a cohesive fashion. But in order to have meaningful writing, there must be meaningful materials other than hot wax to work with. Festival Productionsjoins the ranks of UUAB and Sub Board of Buff State in meeting this obligation by bringing one super rave-up of a concert, featuring Elvis Costello, Mink Deville, and Nick Lowe with Rockpile. If you haven't heard of Elvis Costello by now, chances are you're either living in a prison cell or Antarctica. His two albums. My Aim Is True and This Year's Model (both produced by Lowe) are packed to the max with fiery, angry material. Lowe's much awaited album. Pure Pop for Now People, has been released to highest pop acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic. It features Dave Edmunds (whose band, Rockpile, will be backing Lowe) and members of the Rumour providing impeccable backing for Lowe's three minute classics. Mink Deville was one of the first New acts to appear in Buffalo. The band, featuring the one and only Immortals, blends R-n-R and R-n-B, and Lead singer Willy Deville is electrifying to watch. On March 4 of this year, Elvis Costello proved that sometimes concerts are the energizing participatory affaire they used to always be. With Lowe and Deville, Costello will shatter any preconceptions of anything anybody has told you about rock and roll concerts.

She likes ribbons too I guess.cuz the day before Richard and Nick had to get her some, which they did at some five and dime joint next to Ruda's Record store where Nick, (Tosches one of the best writers to ever pen about,r'n'r, read his stuff about the "Killer" and Sun records in Creem) bought a Jerry Lee Lewis 45 in yellow vinyl. Then me an' Nick an' Richard an' Patti got into my car and we took a long drive to the airport via the scenic Cheektowaga route. Then I said sumthin' I thought was sorta uncalled for. See, I said that we all had such a good time and everybody should be back next year for a reunion and that "MAYBE NEXT YEAR WE'LL GET SOM§ LIVE ENTERTAINMENT!" And then Patti gave me this death l6ok and Richard and Nick just looked at each other and laughed. I just sorta said somthin' to ease out of the situation but she still remembers what I said. Mostly all the people from the Shakin' Street staff thought she was awful and I thought she was a put on but now she's a big rock star all over the world. So who cares? I ain't impressed. The only thing I ever liked, by her was "Ask The Angels" and "PUmpin' My Heart" and the new single "Because The Nftjht" is definitely one of my all time favorites and is just about one of the hardest-hitting singles of the decade. I even like her rocked out version of the Ronettes "Be My Baby" and yes she definitely walls due to the fact tftot hardly no one showed, floored my ass when she came back to Buffalo.

Falling into a slice of beat verse Lou once again polishes up his girl/boy ranking artistry; — Weii eat shit, ya say it tasted good? You're just cheap uptown garbage. For the first time since the “Berlin" formulations Lou's musical capacity has closed in on a tighter hypnotic sequence of elaborations without getting silly or boring. These same objectives were pursued but never reached with "Metal Machine Music". The perfect example of polished madness is demonstrated with the title cut "Street Hassle". The music is presented in an eleven minutle opus that evolves around a set of repetetive bars transferred from string quartet to guitar in three parts. Each instrument represents a movement of somber funeral process caught in relatively gay/evil emotions. The street hound spews his slang and weaves a tale upon some stiff offering that hit the skids from the usual skag skin pops and whhaahooo. The voice is pure warm death in monotonic vision with tons of prose babbled in off-rhythm colors. It has to be one of the most satisfying pieces since Gale's "The Gift" and reflects the Nico-like shadow of dark frailty in a no-feeling atmosphere.

Adventure. This record has the same sound that makes Television a unique rock band but the approach is somewhat different. First of aM Adventure has little of the furor found in their earlier works ("Venus," "See no Evil"), in fact it is a pretty relaxed Rock and Roll record. Tom Verlaine's guitar work is still exhilirating; his solos lack none of their intended intensity and they still pierce the air with subway train speed and precision. TeeVee's second guitarist Richard Lloyd has the scene completely sussed. He is there alt the time, flying through frets, yet his notes sneak in precisely when they are needed. Yeah, its safe to say that Tom Verlaine was meant to play with Richard Lloyd or vice versa, this team of guitars is what makes Television one of the few bands you can enjoy no matter what mood you happen to be in. This record does, however, cater to the more docile melancholia that seems to creep in New York hovels. Verlaine's (oh, his real mme was Miller but * < he did read the symbolists) lyrics are molded in desperation, particularly in "The Fire". This track is one of the gloomiest songs since "When the Music's Over". When Verlaines cellophane crackling Voice cries out "all I heard was the adhoes. Praise emptiness" it makes one wonder if the conviction is really there. If not in the voice, it is certainly found this is no little in the music. This album does work accomplishment in what is becoming the rapid release record industry. Television have gone back to a more refined primitive style. Lurking somewhere on not more if the first side of Adventure are tinges of late great Midwestern faves the Critters, and Left Bank#. The reminiscent sixties riffs are there but it's hard to put your finger on them. There are no ripp-offs on this disc nor are there any rehashes. The music is new Adventure is and the music is rock and roll. not as uninhibitingly exciting as Marquee Moon it is by no means a lemon.

At the end, we are expected to applaud this stirring tale of people's revolution. A balanced depiction But should we? Despite the technical acumen, should we be delighted at this apology for communism? I think not. First of all, the film is a masterful example of political infanta! ism. The communists are so bloody saintly and the fascists so manifestly sadistic that the suspicion;) of jot anyone with a of sophistication must be aroused. This notion of history is, simply, unbalanced. Partisans, too, were guilty of many crimes and cruelties. The fascists were not, as the movie claims, the henchmen capitalists and nasty of non-political landowners but the members of a ones. (There's a hilarious scene about Alfredo's first encounter with cocaine that is even better than Woody Allen's treatment of it in Ms Annie Hall.) Still, even the political sequences have merit. Despite a few historically understandable excesses, the film does not linger over scenes of gratuitous violence and blood-letting (as do Brian PePalma's). graphic What violence Bertolucci chose to include has a subtle and insidious comedy to it. The bloodletting is not so much the focus as are the distinctly absurd reactions of others to it. aspects are, These without reservation, well done.

I have no objection to a film carrying some message but the political difference between a balanced depiction of history and a deliberate bastardization of it is the difference between an artistic film and a propaganda tract. Some merit nonetheless But beyond the infantilism of the politics, Bertolucci is so intent on getting his point across that he never allows his characters to develop. Try as they might, even actors of DeNiro's, Sutherland's and Lancaster's caliber cannot polemical Bertolucci's escape stranglehold. Instead of growing into characters- of depth and substance, Alfredo, Olmo, and (the fascist) Attila are for his political mouthpieces persuasions. The only scenes in which our friends peek out of their polemical coccoons are the Friday, 21 April 1978 The Spectrum Pag0 ninetedt) . . | Lou Read, Street Hassle (Arista) At this particular stage in Lou Reed's career the only thing I thought he was any good for was to pose with potential android fock n’ roll groups. Vou know, the status of being nationally pictured with this guy, the master approves, smile for Lisia Robinson, etc., all that useless hype shit. But let's just take a good look at what the guy's done. Plenty on his own ass. Rock N' Roll Animat Is a classic, (thanx to Steve Hunter and company) Berlin's got me bleched-out, with some great graphic work to help punch along the sickenss Lou offered me on a golden platter. Remember how Buffalo shunned him and they had to give away tickets to his Century performance about seven years back? (We'll see when he comes 'round this time though). And how about the aftermath irony of scoring his AM disc "Walk On The Wild Side" in the same city and nationally as well. Then there was the sinister hair dye streaks and interview fights with Lester Bangs, and plastered in leather the guy looked so frail and evil every time, he'd take a step you'd think he was going to crack in two. The rock 'n' roll imagery was blatant but it failed to accompany the musical stages that Lou was going thru. A good example was the constant taunting he received with "Metal Machine Music" even though Coney Island Baby" had some good spots, that was destined for the bargain bins. So he was really makin' a mess of himself in the seventies. In effect when fanatics picture Lou Reed they see a pioneer and dark warlock with his guitar acting out the role of his familiar. Lou lived in his past accomplishments and it's taken a long time to shake 'em despite the fact that he recorded some tremendous stuff after-that decade. I even have to admit though, that nuthin' can take and put a good curl in my hair while listenin' to Lou belt out a version of "What Goes On" or "Sister Ray”. But fuck that, let's kp movin' and give the guy a break. I fear that Iggy Pop is going through a similar transition and the guy just doesn't have the stuff he used to when nobody would listen to him back in '69, and Bowie isn't helping matters. It's so crazy, the kids today are so hungry for that Detroit grizzle that reeks of the MC5 and Iggy. It's a shame these very kids weren't around ten years ago to buy these records and make these rockers even more invincible than they are today, (and they'd still be tourin' tool). Anyway, back to Lou. Well, "Street Hassle" has to be the most enjoyable piece of music he's done in the seventies, even though "Animal" remains his most explosive and spontaneous platter. Once again Lou has rediscovered his morbid gutter/boulevard interpretations of the metropolis (Pere Ubu are becoming greater onesl). He sounds as if he's got a lifetime membership at the home of the golden arches feasting on the latest inventions of muck food like hash browns. All this stuff served as his brain food for the creative juices which is why he wears sunglasses cuz he's goin’ blind from eating that "food", (ahh the sacrifices legends must make). When listening to the opening passages of “Gimme Some Good Times",’! get the feeling that Lou wishes to dispell his past in a bit of self-asserted character assasination: ? �Too late for history Just apunky fashion party by Dimitri Papadopoulos Music ipitor Punk maaaan, it's all safety and splkey hair and miserable health habits and blood and the cosmetic usage of tampons and above all else vomit, lots and lots of vomit.

Generation X is Cortina overdrive with Nina in the back seat and great pop melodies preserved on the radio. It's the same sort of stripped down music the Ramones play, but instead of the Beachboys as influence it's the Beatles and The Stones and Bobby Dylan and hey, when you come to think of it, it's all the same thing: now we're off to a land filled with the sounds of powerpop.

Editor’s, note: The following article has been reprinted by permission from The Mentor of the Educational Department of Roswell Park Memorial Institute. by Mong Heng Tan Special to The Spectrum The outcry that politics is proliferating in cancer research is and increasing, the political involvement in scientific research could soon jeopardize progress in many aspects. Above all, politically-motivated “scientists,” who chronically play favoritism in certain limited areas of interest for the sake of convenience, or even for psychosomatic security of status quo, will undoubtedly stagnate the overall progress in the battle of cancer. Furthermore politics that limits the quality of dynamics in scientific research will flourish. History has revealed that Socrates turned against the brilliant scientists of his day claiming that progress in knowing more and more about the physical universe would do humans no good unless humans also learned to. understand their own souls and what it meant to lead a good life. Nevertheless, Socrates did further assert that goodness would ■ have to be based on knowledge and on reason, thus setting forth a concerted guide for both and the scientific philosophical advances through — clearly delineated. Both are but functionally different; the former being hinderers of the progress, are to be exposed, and the latter being promoters of pure research, are to be blessed, thus leaving the respectful cancer research for the hard-working scientists, who §re truly devoted, honest, and competent, to further explore the undiscovered. Let’s help wipe out “cancer*” in our life time! (•Cancer here means the increased involvement of politics in cancer equally intelligent research.) Mong Heng Tan is a graduate student Experimental in Pathology. He has published five scientific abstracts and papers, and is a recipient of the 1977-78 American Society Cancer Institutional Grant. He is also a free lance newt commentator for The Spectrum on current political, socio-economic developments in both the advanced and newly developing nations, attempting to promote an understanding of their impacts in the internationalarena. Abbott Anmx, which wilt be razed in the summer A beneficial move, considering the maintenance costs Abbott Library relocations Abbott Annex, which presently houses part of the Lockwood Library collection, is tentatively scheduled to be razed following the relocation of the collection to the Amherst Campus early this summer. According to Director of University libraries Saktidas Roy, the Health Sdences collection will probably be moved to old Abbott after the present collection is-relocated. Assistant to the Vice President for* Facilities Planning Albert Dahlberg explained, “Because the condition of the building is so bad, especially that of .the roof, it a requires great deal of maintainance. The decision to raze it, subsequently removing it from the budget, is therefore beneficial.” Abbott Annex contains a vast amount of reference materials. It also contains an extensive collection of current periodicals and the graduate reserve materials. “The annex houses approximately 7,5(Jb current periodicals,” said Lockwood Librarian Madeleine Stem. “The reserve collection consists of specific graduate information in the Social Sciences, Humanities and ( * Management.” Located .in the back of the annex, unobserved and unknown by most students, is the Central» Technical Services department for the library.

This commentary does not prophecy or a review of history, however, a brief word of caution with respect to the present psychosomatic reality that has been observed in the circle of cancer research, is not out of place. Most scientific developments that have been made are- inevitably achieved independently of political dictatorship, thus enabling this nation to enjoy its moat advanced technology and living standards attempt to make a on earth. There are two principal kinds of thinking that* have been profoundly leading forth the present socio-economic and political traits common to this developed industrial civilization. Both are rigorous, honest, competent, and sharpened by' experience; one being scientific, is marked by its devotion to. only one value, the verifiable truth, and the other,. philosophical, or critical, is characterized by the of persuasive expression well-founded opinion in addition to scientific truth. Thus, politics should not overshadow these pioneering processes of thinking. Politics can at best serve as an operative measure, that calls for better understanding of such well-developed scientific and critical thoughts in promoting the socio-economic situation as a whole. On the other hand, if politics is motivated by cither subjectiveness or narrow-mindedness, and is in command, we shall soon witness a limit being set to. hamper our acquired knowledge of any part of the accessible university or pvcn to the important knowledge of the workings of our own bodies and minds, including cancevrwtiifr,-<• Thus, “scientists” who are and politically-motivated, p o 1 i.jt i clans are who scientifically-aware, are to be ESDAY HIGH - LADIES NIGHT Buy 1 Get 1 FREE Emu*™ 3 Old Vienna Splits $1.00 Shaker of Gimlets $1.00 Vodka, Gin Rye, Scotch, Bourbon, Rum, Schnapps & Teiyiila KITCHEN HOURS 11:30am - 12:00pm COLLEGE COUNCIL ELECTIONS ALL STUDENTS ARE URGED TO VOTE Friday, 21 April 1978 T*he .

Cornell, Smith and Amherst Colleges have written letters demanding to know what actions am being taken to improve the apartheid system. Only Ore University of Wisconsin has completely divested its portfolio of ISOtMMOk It cost die University $300,000 to dispose of its interests. “The University represents and preaches what America stands for and that is democracy," said a spokesman. “To entertain these immoral and racial practices in South Africa would be to contradict everything are' stand for.

Student injured Bus stop relocated after freak accident An “unscheduled” bus stop on the Hamilton Entrance at the Amherst Campos has been relocated to the corner of Hamilton Entrance and White Road to insure safer drop-offs for students. The stop was changed after an accident near the Hamilton Entrance at a stop for students going to the Bubble. A female student got off a Blue Bird Coach and ran in front of it. A vehicle passing the bus struck and injured the student as she was running across the street on her way to the Bubble. The bus stop, which is honored for the convenience of the students, is considered “unscheduled” by the campus busing office because activities at the Bubble are infrequent. Vice President of Blue Bird Roger Frieday believes that the stop should be eliminated totally. “Cars don’t pdy attention to students unloading the buses,” he said. “The change was made primarily to accommodate students who use the Bubble.” Director of Campus Busing Roger McGill disagreed saying, “I don’t feel that the stop made at the Hamilton Entrance is any more dangerous than any other location made by campus buses.” There are many other stops cited by McGill which he feels pose as much danger to the students including the Governors drop-off. He said, "There is a ride there Ido as students run across the street before the bus pulls mKmHr . Jennifer Davis, Southern African magazine, South Africa has a crucial dependence oh foreign investments because it “has had an increasing flow of foreign capital in the last two years. There is no local savings and no maintainance of the present situation.” She noted that South Africa needs capital to buy oil for improve it io its present technology to convert coal to oiL “With the $7 billion outstanding in loans,” she said, “South Africa’s apartheid system would apart fall without U.S. investment.” The corporate argument is that U.S. abandonment would have several negative consequences. First, the U.S. would lose the “voice” it has in the apartheid system and divesting would forfeit any chances of improving it. In using its ‘Voice,” 12 U.S. corporations have signed the Sullivan Six Principles, a doctrine editor improving the argument exists that if universities sell out, some one else will take- their places as - - _ , - .

While there, Dunnett explained to Soviet faculty and student^the Institute’s method of teaching English as a foreign language. His lectures, which were open and well-attended, emphasized the of not teaching importance from its separately language culture. In Russia, little attention is given to the cultural aspect of a in school, language studied according to Dunnett. Dunnett commented, “We are ‘communative interested competence,’ which can be define'd as ‘the student having to communicate with ability Americans’.” When asked about associating students foreign primarily with students of the language, an same native interaction common in many The University’s Dunnett noted that Russian universities teach “British English.” Educators there refer to the English spoken in the United States as “the American variant” Dunnett said that at times his audiences were taken back “by his American way of using very direct speech,” whereas “they were always very formal, proper and respectful.

Another topic of great concern for the people who questioned Dunnett, was, “Why kids in the U.S. can’t read and write?” On the whole, he claimed, “Their press coverage about the U.S. is negative.” The United States has a cultural and educational exchange agreement with Russia. To participate in this program, this University applied for a contract with the federal government. Forty other colleges applied for die contract, which stipulates that this University hosts Russians in its English Language Department with Washington paying expenses. This University was awarded the contract because, said Dunnett, “the department is good and the school had support.” Last summer, 38 Russian professors spent nine weeks at this University, one week of which was devoted to tourism. Dunnett’s visit was the first of such exchanges in New York State. The Director of the Intensive Russian Institute from Moscow State University will visit Buffalo in June. . Squire. ' - he commented. According to Dunnett, Soviet schools all have concert halls and physical excellent education facilities. Except for this, he observed that “even the best universities in the USSR dpn*t have facilities that compare with this University’s.” He added that in many areas, their language labs are beautiful, but classrooms are small and unequipped, and “the dormitories (where every student has a single room) are spmtan.

Hundreds of U.S. students will'find jobs in France, Ireland and Britain this summer through the Work In Europe program sponsored by thte Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE). For the past nine years, this popular program has provided students with the direct experience pf living and working in another country and, at the same time, helped them reduce the cost of their trip abroad. The Work in Europe program virtually eliminates the red tape that students faced in the past when they wanted to work Great abroad. Participants must find their own jobs but will have the help of cooperating student travel organizations in each country. In France they may work during the summer; in Great Britain they may work any time of the year for up to six months; in Ireland they may work at any time of the year for up to four months. The jobs are usually unskilled in factories, department stores, hotels, etc. Salaries are low, but students generally earn enough to pay for their room and board while they work. A typical job would be that of chambermaid in a hotel in London’s West End. But last summer one enterprising student found work as an apprentice jockey for one of Ireland’s racing stables. To qualify for CIEE’s program, students must be between the ages of 18 and 30 and must be able to prove their student status. To work in FRance, they must also be able to speak and understand ’ — French. For more information and application forms, contact CIEE, Dept.

Vice President of Academic Affairs Robert Bunn is in the process of designing a program for the 1978-79 year. Currently, only the Health Sciences Internship is available. : The pool of faculty members to which the program applies is too narrow, Jacobs stated. Over half the qualified individuals are members of the School of Nursing, she said. This “tiny pool” excludes non-full time faculty those who are associated with departments on a part-time basis. Part-timers would have just as much, if not more, to gain from the programs as full-timers, she felt. v - -— PRIC Improvements vetoed In'addition, non-tenured faculty as well as professional staff could benefit from the Internships, noted Jacobs. Participation of non-tenured faculty is being discouraged by the Administration because of time considerations tenured would be more likely to experiment with their time, the argument goes. A time-release has been approved by the Deans of the Schools involved for tenured faculty participating in the programs. Professional non-teaching staff are also excluded from the Internships. However, a parallel program is to be developed which would be available to any interested professional, stated Pearson. Combined, the restrictions and the unstructured nature of the programs resulted in the poor response, Jacobs said. Lack of enthusiasm on the part of the Administration was also cited as a reason fct limited interests. The person in charge of the programs would “only act with as much enthusiasm as the administration above him would ask him to,” Jacobs said. University women are skeptical abput the actual benefits of the program, EUssa Snowden, incumbent member of the Organization of University Women remarked. “They are afraid it’s another come-on with no definite results, she stated. Pearson met with the representatives of various minority groups, including Jacobs and Snowden, to discuss the potential and viability of the programs. Suggestions for improvements were made, said Jacobs, and vetoed on the basis of a prior agreement or a Presidential decision. “We were told this is it. This is what we are stuck with,”&e declared. Among the suggestions were; tapping existing sources for monies and grants to augment the program by providing a definite plan of study, removal of eligibility constraints to allow participation of non-tenured faculty and staff, contacting Deans of Schools for lists of people qualified and filling vacant administrative seats with women and other minorities. .S 1® — 200 off allsubs APRIL 21-23 ICE CREAM CONES .23 �EtUCOTT ’’ • • !- , I FREE ADMISSION V programs NYPIRG initiates. “We have been more beneficial to the community instead of the student population according to the Student Association,” he said.

The third part of the series will discuss what people have done and can do to promote disarmament. Walter Simpson is Coordinator of the Western New York Peace Center. by Walter Simpson Special to The Spectrum Ten years ago, when I was a freshman physics major at Lehigh University, I would have thought that by now I’d be a well-paid scientist. If I were living in this area, I’d be upwardly mobile, living in East Aurora or Williams ville. But much has happened since my days at Lehigh. The Vietnam war seems to have changed everything. And the facts of my life belie my earlier fantasies. I live on the East Side of Buffalo in the Fillmore-Ieroy neighborhood. My annual income is about $5,000, based on part-time teaching and full-time peace activism. I’m as ambitious as I ever was, but I’m not after money or affluent living. I think that I’m accomplishing something, though it’s hardly recognized by society - at large. ' It’s an insane world that we live in and 1 experience some solace in having at least recognized the madness and taken a stand against it. An article in the Washington Post (“Backers Seek to Build Bomb Even Without B-l to Carry It,” March 9) tells the x story. President Carter “Though succeeded in killing the B-l bomber, he is encountering serious resistance in putting a halt to production of the nuclear bomb the B-77 the multi-billion dollar program.

Perhaps it’s a matter of pride, as well as bucks, but the scientists at Lawrence Livermore apparently want the next nuclear terror to be the product of their genius. So far, more than $150 million has been spent developing the Livermore bomb. Unless the program is curtailed, another $100 million will be spent this year and next. So sked . y° u yourself what maxes the arms race go, here’s a clue. Despite progress on SALT and the curtailment of the B-l bomber program, the arms race continues to escalate. While we go about our own business, studying, job hunting, seeing our friends and layers at Lawrence Livermore and other such places, scientists are hard at work perfecting new technoligies of death. These scientists are mad scientists. Their brains are too large for their consciences. They lT® fin * value their contracts and advances in the art of mass destruction more than they do hifman survival... Yes, when I was young and more naive, I wanted to be a nuclear physicist. The world was simpler then, and 1 thought it would .be a respectable profession.

I say ironically because it was Dennis Delia and the other representatives of his who sat on the Board who voted to deny the campus community access to the salaries which- Sub Board is how refusing to give to the SA itself. On at least three occasions I made a formal proposal to the Sub Board-Board Board of Directors to publish this information. I did this both as a part of my responsibility to the GSA senate which 1 represented, but also as a matter of principle. On each occasion the Board voted down the motions. The "Executive Director, Tom Van Nortwick, the Treasurer, Dennis Black, arid SA’s own Vice President tp Sub-Buard, Jeff Lessoff, argued vociferously against the publication of this information. They -acknowledged neither the community’s right to this information, nor their own to blurt out i» discussed in closed session. The truth is thet the main topic of discussion was the Ketter Administration, which legally, should be open to the public. The Council is to be condemned for dosing the.public out of an important debate, and Cindy Whiting, our student "representative," is advised to pursue her requests for public discussion with a firmer hand. She might also arrive at meetings at least as informed as other members. Her job is to insure that the student voice it at least heard, if ' not heeded. there Be salaries, but the entire Sub-Board budget, every September when it is being finalized and when there is still time to amend its priorities. The, campus community needs to be informed of these matters in order to actively participate in the formulation of policy and priorities. The salaries of the Sub-Board employees, identified by job title, are listed below. The names are omitted because what is at issue is the amount being paid for the position, not who occupies it.

I expected to read several complaints. The music was good and the fact that UUAB provides decent people to play music here at low prices ($3.00) is commendable. It is also part of their function. But, they blew it Wednesday night. The room was extremely crowded "at the 10 p.m. show. There were no chairs; you had to sit on the floor bn which people had spilled their beer, dropped matches and stubbed out their cigarettes. Once you sat down it was too crowded to move-your legs easily and avoid cramping. Worst of all, around a hundred people who had paid $3.00 were forced to stand during the whole concert. I think that’s a rip off. I’m not joiug to accuse UUAB of trying to make a profit at the expense of students but if they don’t know what the capacity of the Fillmore Room is, I’ll tell them, flake the money, divide it by three, subtract about a hundred and you’ve got it. I know money’s tight, but it is completely unacceptable to hold concerts in that manner. I enjoyed the music (except for the fact that it was too loud, but that’s a matter of taste) but the room was a little too sociable; Wise up, UUAB. Thanks for listening. S.

The Waste Courts for the people To the Editor: Betty Ferguson GraduateStudent It’s no secret that the athletic facilities at this University arc barely adequate. Twenty tennis courts for 26,000 people is a meager ratio to say the least. Now we are told that the Lacrosse Team will‘usurp the only 8 courts at Main Street. The students at large should come first. The tennis nets should be put up immediately. of space To the Editor: Sabre story took the place of a story about a UB a game involving UB softball game Wednesday students. The blame lies not with The Spectrum sports department, but rather with the managing editors who allow this to happen. The story about the softball game did not appear because the managing editor forgot to submit it this is the same managing editor who brought you The Yankees on the front page and wasted countless more space with a piece of trash known as The Wizard of Odds. Hopefully, there will be no more professional sports in The Spectrum and even better yet, the managing editors will not leave out any more stories that deserve to be printed. - I strongly object to The Spectrum printing two stories on the Sabres-Rangers playoff game in the Friday edition. I think it is absurd for The Spedtrum, who did not cover the Sabres or the Rangers, during the regular season, to print two stories on one game. Furthermore, the story by Harold Goldberg was a,complete waste of space and the story by Harvey Shapiro not only was four days late, but contained less information than reports of the game in the Buffalo Evening News and the Courier-Express, mainly because the Sabres will not give The.

I’ll try and eventually I’ll break a few of those “pseudo barriers.” Maybe I’ll get hurt, but eventually I’ll start over and, ya know, After several dealings with our isolated University President, I can honestly say that Dr. Ketter ignores students’ needs and refuses to take us seriously. it’s worth it!! Greg Drake Last chance Amherst credibility To the Editor: I can’t believe Springfest on Main Street? they’d do it. I can’t believe they’d eliminate Amherst Campus’ last chance at credibility. Springfest will be ... a great time wherever it’s held, sure, but unfortunately that’s all it will be. EUicott, as well as the whole Amherst Campus, really needed that weekend. We needed the people, the enthusiasm, the laughter, and especially the optimistic sound of first annual before the word Springfest. Springfest on Amherst would being some life to its spacious fields. It would, at the same time, bring some commuters to a part of the campus they never see except through the window of a Blue Bird. It’s an election year; Springfest on Amherst would have surely drawn some politicians what better way to throw the problem of the unfinished campus in their faces??? Sprinfest on Main Street practically forces us to be apathetic about the new campus. It seems destined to be just another success for Main Street'to 1 take credit for. Holding this celebration on Main Street only hurts the life we undergraduates on Amherst believe in and want to proclaim. If Amherst is really just a group of buildings, as we are now led to believe, then why bother calling it a campus??? .. . / Judy Kamin The American Way To the Editor The Student Association Senate, that mighty organization which represents all students, regardless of color, race or political affiliation, recently passed judgement on and condemned that poor, hapless creature Abed Musallam. The fool had done an unpardbnable sin. He had actually criticized the great United States! Poor fool, he forgot he was in America and that he was not American. But sometimes I wonder if the fool was really that foolish, for how can culture be totally separated fronj politics, when the culture is determined by the nature of the people and the nature of the people by then politics.

Everyone knows why Dr. fetter was elevated to President of this University in 1970 to keep students quiet! Dr. Ketter, in his overzealous conservatism, has gone a bit too far trying to control students. Not. only has he controlled students, but he has hindered us in our fight to improve our education. Even kissing Ketter’s ass will not guarantee a chance to negotiate anything with him. Do we want a President who isolates himself and ignores us, treats us like children, and is so defensive as to criticize us when we disagree With him? Do we want a President who either blatently lies to us or is oblivious and unaware of major crises on this campus? I have not been impressed by Dr. Ketter’s superficial friendliness to students; he has helped students little, and stabbed us in the back many times. Do we want a new U.B. President? / do. - allowing student fees To the Editor As students of this University we demand an explanation for the SA resolution censuring the International Affairs Coordinator Abed Musallam for speaking the truth! What right has SA President Richard Mott to condemn someone for making what he deemed a political comment? What determines a political statement? Is not silence political. Consciously not speaking out when atrocities are occurring, condones them. The University is intricately linked with government and business interests. Clearly it’s in the best interest of the administration for us, the students, to remain silent. That is why the administration has implemented a policy not | "* who were angered are themselves the fools. For only fools can fail to recognize that several cultures have been tom apart by wars instigated or perpetuated to a large extent by the United States of America. Only fools, would not acknowledge the truth that the popular American press lets the people know only what they wish them to know. So maybe, that poor, hapless fool should not be judged so harshly. It was his night, International Night, and after all this is Anjerica. Here, everybody has human rights' Everybody, regardless of color, creed, race or political affiliation. Somebody, please tell me freedom of speech is a human right it is, isn’t it? creatures Dr. Ketter treats S.A. officials like children, never allowing them to stand on equal footing with him on any issue of consequence. Acting out his fatherly role, he will condenscend and punish with irate unnecessary verbal criticism his student children, if they dare to disagree or contradict him. One only had to mention Women’s Studies College during their faculty line crisis, and President Ketter lashed out with an unnecessary tyrade condemning the college. Only innocuous trivia is openly discussed at official meetings of the S.A., such as ordering new furniture. . s*’ Major student issues needing Administrative support, such as a real, working teacher evaluation system, has been systematically avoided, and its discussion is referred to lower echelon administrators. Furthermore, such issues are permanently placed in the “circular file” (if they have not been put there already), in an attempt to lose them forever. The student parking problem was given the same treatment. A problem like handicapped accessibility to the University is one of the few student concerns that Dr. Ketter will lend an ear to. This is mainly because State guidelines and State laws stare him in the face. Even then, Dr. Ketter had to be pushed and prodded for any action to happen. On other topics. Dr. Ketter has denied any knowledge of an issue and was either totally lying or totally ignorant of the issue. A perfect example of this was: A couple of months after the unfortunate suicide of one of our nursing students, I asked Dr. Ketter what the Administration was doing (if anything) to look into the matter and investigate the incident. Dr. Ketter’S response was that he could not even remember the incident, he knew nothing about it, and, of course, the Administration was not doing anything about it. I was shocked and appalled at Dr.' Ketter and his insensitivity to the matter. I honestly hope Dr. Ketter was lying and not just be used for political leaflets and buses for demonstrations. Yet the University is allocating funds to help business {Reporter 4/13). Now the SA condemns someone for speaking out against U.S. Imperalism. We need more political statements to county the obscenities shouted at us by the administration every time they float a bond (which ends up paying the bank two and three times the amount borrow) and everytime they charge us tuition.

I am dismayed at what has to be the worst example of reporting ever to hit the pages of The Spectrum. Along with three other Colleges, the article mentioned- that the College of Math Sciences had been charged with abusing, the room allotment system. Yet these “charges” were backed up by only one sentence. That being, that one student claimed past. We are not told who this student is, or what is his source of information. Thp charge is no more than third hand heresay, and totally incorrect heresay at that. Articles should be based on facts, not rumors.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU),- which Is defending the Nazis’ right to march, claims that this is a fundamental test of the First Amendment which guarantees the right of assembly of free speech. The ACLU, which boasts that it is “the only organization concerned with the Bill of Rights,” claims that a ruling against the march could set a dangerous precedent by which the First Amendment would be endangered. No easy solution Professor of Law at this University, Howard Mann, an authority on the Ejrst Amendment and other principles involved with the ACLU’s case, said that this case will not be solved easily because the Nazis are planning to use a public forum (public street, jjubSc park, What do wok cookery, urban gardening and corporate control have in common?

Levine Spectrum Staff Writer ” FRIDAY rJf -ft Passover week: a holiday in celebration of freedom “Pesach” is the celebration of freedom in which children play an important part. The purpose of the seder is to educate children and broaden their awareness of freedom. Freedom is a “very precious thing, a very great gift,” said Rabbi Dovid Sholom Pape. Pesachis is not only a celebration of what happened a long time ago when the Jews freed themselves from slavery. “On Pesach, every Jew has the opportunity to leave their own individual slaveries said Pape. Many weeks are spent preparing for Passover. Many Jews undergo a “spring cleaning” to make sure all the bread crumbs (chometz) in and about their homes are cleaned out. Only matzoh is eaten during Passover. Bread is a symbol of that which is blown in this case, it symbolizes human egotism. up Matzoh stands for true attitude of the Passover holiday, one of humility and modesty. When the Jews fled from Egypt, they did not have time to wait for their bread to rise and then bake it. They left in peat haste taking their unleavened bread with them. Matzoh is the symbol of this haste. • ** i This Friday evening the candles will be lit as millions of Jews sit down to their seder tables and begin the joyous occasion of Passover. Passover or Vanessa Drink & Drown Nigfit 10c Mixed Drinks 1c Beer i ■ Leaving individual slaveries Children’s questions In the Jewish tradition, the seder beings when the four sons are present. The youngest child asks the four questions: “Why is this night different from all other nights?,” “On all other nights we eat leavened and unleavened bread. Why on this night do we eat only unleavened bread?,” “Why do we dip There are four kinds of childreh at the seder table: the wise, wicked, simple and the haby. The wise child asks about the laws and is told. The wicked son, antagonistic in attitude makes fun. He is then sharply told that he could have been left inEgypt. The wicked son must be “cut down to size” so that he will listen. Then, he is given the red answers to his questions. The simple child is full of questions, “He is the child that is most turned on to learning,” said Pape. Although the simple child is not as learned as the wise child, he yearns tplearn more. The simple child in turn is told about all of the mirades. The baby does not know how to ask questions. To this child, the whole story of Passover is told. The baby is the center; until he asks the questions, there can be no seder. “Every Jew possesses these four children,” said Pape. Relaxation and wine There are objects displayed on the seder table which are explained during the course of the seder. There is matzoh; the paschal Iamb, a holiday offering (today it’s really burnt and scraped chicken neck); moror, the bitter herb which serves as a reminder of the bitterness of slavery; an egg, symbolic of deep grief and also a symbol of birth bom out of slavery. Everyone drinks four cups of good strong red wine while Teaniqg back and relaxing. A fifth cup of wine is poured for Elijah, the prophet who visits every 4 Jewish home during the seder. At Chabad House, more than 5000 meals have been prepared for those students staying at school during Passover. Students may make reservations for both seders by contacting Chabad House. Kosher for Passover meals can also be purchased from Chabad for $18.00. Those students on meal {dan simply have to sign up and will receive their meals for free.

Many political scientists refer to lobbyists as a “fourth branch of government.” On certain issues, lobbyists may more have information than do the officials involved. government “On one occasion,” Schillinger recalled, “the Lieutenant Governor called us, requesting a copy .of the legislative program.” Schillinger feels the job of lobbying is a teal challenge and .pays he’ is “staggered” by the ramifications possible of everything he does. “At the outset, it is intimidating, but the other interns are supportive of one another,” he explained. “The hours (usually ten to twelve a day), are very demanding in addition to the demands i place on myself.” Schillinger significantly is with the amount of power the Assembly Speaker and I the Senate Majority leader | v, —r Open Gam -12 pm $ Lawrence Schillinger has been elected Chairperson of the New York Public Interest Research (NyPIRG) at Group this University for 1978-79. r ;A junior here, Schillinger is interning this semester in Albany and is the only full-time lobbyist for the “bottle bill,” a mandatory deposit law that would enact a five-cent deposit on all beverage containers.

Schillinger explained that after consumer bills are introduced into Congress and referred to a committee, the lobbyists meet with the legislators -or their councils and_ try to 'Encourage support for the bill.

The two chief tools of a NYPIRG lobbyist are facts and information, he commented. This year, eight environmental and consumer bills were introduced in Congress. Currently Schillinger and other interns are working on the Truth-in-Testing bill, which would reform the Education Testing Service (ETS) by giving students more input into the development of wsfs Hke the * Industry opposed Schillinger and the other interns are also working to secure Tuition Assistant Program (TAP) money for partitime students, to encourage them to work their way through school.

If the bottle bill is passed, large amounts of energy will be saved. In addition, the land-fill and litter problems will be substantially reduced and 4,000 jobs will be gained for New York State. Consumer prices for beer and soda are fexpected to' drop. The principal lobbyist of the Industry Labor Committee for Resource Recovery, Vic Condello, represents industry’s opposition to the bill. “Vic Condello also: happens to be g personal friend of •Assembly Speaker Stanley Steinberg,” Schillinger noted.

The Bulls lost their sixth straight game Monday, ending a four game trip to the New York Metropolitan Area with a 9-0 forfeit to 24th ranked St. Johns University. the Bulls won more games than they lost in Florida. The latest disaster occurred when several Buffalo players, led by tri-caplain Mike Groh and pinch runner Joe Ward, objected too strenuously to a call at home plate in the UB half of the ninth, resulting in the forfeit. Both players were initially ejected from the game, joining Monkarsh, who was ejected in the fourth for disputing a stolen base call. Buffalo coach Bill Monkarsh previously said that anything less than three wins on what was slated to be a five game trip could severely damage his team’s chances of getting into the playoffs for the third straight Interference With the score tied at two and the bases loaded with Bulls, centerfielder Scott Rjimondo rapped a grounder to first. The St. Johns first sacked threw home ' year. ' - The Bulls’ nosedive follows their most successful southern tour ever a trip which saw them defeat a powerful University of Miami team for the first time in their history. Never before had — trying to nail Ward at the plate. The umpire ruled that Ward had slid out of the baseline, interfering with the Redmen’s catcher.

In the opener, Fisher took the loss in relief of Phil Rosenberg while Joe Hesketh got the defeat in the nightcap. UB was scheduled to play a twin bill Sunday against Fairfield but would up playing only one (nine inning) game due to a misunderstanding. Although they outhit the Stags 15-9, the Bulls couldn’t overcome a 9-2f deficit, losing 9-7. John Pedersen banged a solo home run and drove in three runs to lead the Buffalo attack. Pat Raimondo collected three hits and two RBI’s and brother Scott belted two triples. Pittsburgh, a non EC AC team, is led by seniors Don Nania (OF), Dan Smodic (2B) and Kurt Leitholf (SS). The Panthers, who own an 84 record, have defeated Carnegie-Melon (four tjjn?s). West Virginia, Kent State, and Robert Morris (twice). Staff Writer The Lacrosse Bulls captured their first victory of the season Saturday, topping host Buffalo State, 16-3. UB outplayed the Bengal* at both ends of the field, which was wet from a mid-April snow shower. The Bulls were led by captain Frank Massaro’s four goals and three assists. v. . The first score came midway through the first period as Massaro took a sharp pass from ipidfielder Bob Spendle, rapping it past the Bengal netminder. Over the next five minutes of play, the lead shot up to 5-0, as Willie Higgs scored twice. Higgs’ goals, his first tallies of the season, were scored only a minute apart from each other. Midfielders Craig Kirkwood and Larry Leva consistently excelled, both offensively and defensively. Kirkwood, absent in the 14-3 loss to Alfred, was instrumental in the crisp passing game. Kirkwood scored one goal and added an assist in the game. Able to set up on man down situations, the Bulls opened up a half time lead of 8-1. Goalie Prank DiToundo turned away nine shots, keeping the Bengal* from mounting any kind of threat. Buffalo State’s Chuck Wright broke DiToundo’s bid for a shut out with an unassisted goal with less than a minute to play in the second quarter. One-sided action UB slowed down the offense in the third quarter. Massaro added a goal and assist as Frank Betely, second half goalie, stopped the few shots from the Bengals attack. Don Lund and the Bull defense stick checked away almost all State attempts to bring the ball into the Bulls’ zone. Lund, on occasion, legally pounded Bengal attackmen into the wet turf, intimidating what was left of Buffalo State’s offense. Coach Perry Hanson cleared his bench in the fourth period, as the Bulls picked up six tallies in the final segment. Overall play became sloppy as the cold weather had both teams wishing for the warmth of the locker rooms. The highlight of the period came when Hanson, having inserted himself in the game, scored an unassisted goal with 6:38 remaining in the game. The Bengals picked up two more points as Wright added his second goal of the afternoon. The victory evened the Lacrosse Club’s record at 1-1 while the first year club from State dropped its record toD-3. The Bulls play today at Slippery Rock College in Pennsylvania. ~ IMPORTED AMERICAN AUTO PARTS « „ Rlill Auto-Parts Supermarket ■■P*R Tg WORLD.,."A NEW CONCEPT" Foreign Car Parts A Acttmuhi At Wen Aa Im* «unt Imu .mmw •** .mm .awttooau .—Ml •UMAnM .NUMUMI NTS AmtrtetnPtrtT lmm» ,,wu i*» •wra .mouco •§“"» •onions •mtomki .CM .mio •Osimh .Mum .MS— ' by Marie Meltzer Assistant Sports Editor by David Davidson Spectrum .mb .GRID .DM .ohkni .DM .100— .mco .umthb BRAKE ROTORS I DRUMS TURNED STARTERS.

In 1972, Atwood became self-sufficient as a writer. She holds no academic position, preferring to travel the lecture circuit.

The President is believed to be aware of such moves but as yet has taken no action, other than calling an emergency meeting April 13. Capen Hall has been described as a “powder keg” waiting to blow. Had the allegations proved to be true, some members of the administration were prepared to do everything in their power to insure the removal of the President. Rumojs about Ketter and Executive Vice President Albert Somit leaving the University surface constantly, while Vice Presidents and Deans function in an environment dominanted by mistrust, tension and sinking morale. Dissatisfaction with Ketter is a complicated web of leadership voids, harsh personality based on and an abrasive administrative style. The portrait emerging from conversation with subordinates shows the President’s almost tyrannical nature, defensive and near paranoic traits eccentricies, and a ceaseless demand for personal loyalty.

The President’s demands for Ibyahy. constantly clash with an individual's personal feelings and hastily prepared statement into a delenseless Not having academic tenure, he cannot return to teaching. His salary is secure only lor the duration of the two-month study.

One Vice President was recently embarrassed in front of his entire staff by an unexpected on SUNY study construction with Telfer as head. With a place to pat Telfer now at hand, the University planned to announce his “re-assignment” to Lanford’s office in the April 6 edition of the Reporter thus avoiding media controversy. But the Courier-Express was leaked the information on April 3 and the Administration was forced to issue a Presidents feel their recommendations are not fully reaching Ketter and. are not always taken into account when decisions are made. Ketter almost never acknowledges even receiving recommendations from Vice Presidents and Deans and provides them virtually no feedback. Yet he often arbitrarily holds administrators responsible for errors or poor decisions and has a habit of throwing an advisor’s report back after very little consideration. Ketter has almost never been known to commend a good performance or appreciate hard work. He takes criticism so poorly that some- have given up trying or are afraid to approach claim, is almost impossible to please. Though he strictly avoids special the result of many discussions with Editor's Note: This analysis administors of varying rank was written in an unconventional journalism style. Few of the facts and observations are attributed to a "quotable" sorce. The singular reason for this is fear. Not one administrator contacted could he indentified for fear of reprisal or removal. With the subject of the article of [xjramount importance to the University, we saw no other way the story would ever come out. The story is based heavily on the opinions of administrators We have attempted to accurately previous — But concerned administrators here have passed on the rumors to members of the UB Council, the body which wpuld have to initiate any attempted removal of the President. One or two area State legislators have been informed of the allegations. The SUNY Chancellor’s office is also being in University. Many administrators do not feel secure in their jobs and may be begining kept abreast. News of the allegations and of eroding iCetter support trickled back to the President, probably through someone on the UB Council. Ketter then called an emergency meeting of all Vice Presidents on Thursday, April 13. Though The Spectrum was not able to learn what was discussed, it is now clear that Ketter is acutely aware of serious disenchantment in his administration. - * Committee and by Ketter himself. Critics charge that the President “set up” the failure failure of No long range goals It is widely felt that Ketter provides no “visionary” leadership at a time when the demoralized University desperately needs it. This means that he has not set down the University’s long-range academic goals, and has not adequately defined which programs are to be strengthened and which must be allowed to claim, the University has plodded along with neither a blueprint not an architect for academic growth. And the President has refused to the point co-opting way academics to concentrate on budget matters and the day-to-day operations of the University. This is what is meant by the charge — “visionless." Several administrators claim that Ketter has deliberately avoided establishing his priorities because he would then risk bearing criticism and the responsibility for failure. Avoiding accountability This is a prime example of the persistent claim that the President avoids accountability for nearly all decisions; that he is always “protected” from blame by layers of administration or simple inaction. Another extension of Ketter’s atrophy, particularly crucial for a University under severe financial protective attitude is his shielding strain. A comprehensive particularly proposed Presidential aides, Assistant to the President Ronald Stein. Most communication between the President’s office and Vice Presidents or Deans is channeled through Stein who often posses it on to Ketter in distorted or biased form, many administers feel. This filtering of Faculty communication supposedly prevents trivia from swamping the President, but also creates considerable animosity between Ketter’s assistants and the rest of the Administration. Vice Plan - which Academic establishes the University’s academic priorities has yet to emerge in Ketter’s two terms, although several attempts — have been made. most The recent plan, by a Committee on Academic Planning convened by Ketter, was given a vote of no confidence by voting faculty in February, 1976. The interim report was later praised by the Senate F'xecutive use of to look elsewhere. Fear of reprisals, of removal, of being singled out keeps the disillusioned in line and in silence. No administrator is going to go public as long as such fears exist. Taken in this light, it is not difficult to see why the - - Mathematical Sciences Review Committee observed in its report that the “unsettled conditions were compounded by appointing administrative officers that were insecure, buffeted by the current budget uncertainties and lacking in wisdom and self confidence.” Mental files Ketter’s reluctance to provide direction often leaves the Vice Presidents and Deans in disagreement on an issue, allowing the President at times to avoid making a decision or blame subordinates for “not knowing what they want.” Some sources claim that Ketter keeps personal files on each administrator, detailing “everything they’ve done wrong,” Others know of no such formal record keeping, but are sure that the President kept “mental files” of the same type. of Ketter’s An example administrative style; Several, years ago, when retrenchment was being considered here, Ketter sought for the concept of support eliminating certain programs on short notice even though they —continued on page 2— �r Never very popular with students rabble-rousing and biased reported by The Spectrum, and on certain student leaders.

But Ketter never acted, leaving confidence without the fear of betrayal. For the most part, many members of the University community dismayed. Special to The Spectrum better's disposition toward “non-cooperative” students has been one of disregard bordering on arrogance. The following exchange is. reprinted from a State of Recent battles In 1974, while being interviewed about a sensitive in recent years Ketter has been able to work with matter over the telephone by an editor of The Spectrum. the University interview with Robert Ketter in student leaders in the effort to secure financing for Ketter reminded the editor that The Spectrum occupied an March, 1972; T* \r v ' !

Mexican marijuana and opium fields have been sprayed regularly with paraquat for the better part of three years by Mexican anti-drug authorities, according to the U.S. State Department. The U S. Drug Enforcement Agency has always cooperated with Mexican drug officials but the full extent of cooperative activity in this instance has not been publically documented. Mexican authorieis selected the spraying of paraquat as a method to deter opium and marijuana cultivation in 1975 because the poison is biodegradable, leaving no trace in the soil after the plant has died. ' (DEA) contaminated. PharmChem Laboratories in Palo Alto, California, is one of a handful of organizations that tests marijuana for traces of paraquat. Since the paraquat scare began about two months ago, the trickle of samples has turned into a flood. On March 31, PharmChem received 949 samples, and 174, or 18 percent, were found to be -contaminated. However, this analysis is not simple. Paraquat soaks into marijuana; therefore the plant material must be broken down completely before any level of paraquat contamination may be determined. This type of testing is infinitely more difficult than testing for common marijuana additives, such as the tranquilizer PCP, often called “angel dust.” Locally, officials at Sunshine House on 106 Winspear Avenue report that paraquat has yet to hit the Buffalo area. Those students wishing to secure additional information about paraquat or marijuana in general are urged to call Sunshine House at 831-4046.

FPA is a principle member of the New York State Campaign for Abortion Rights, an organization dedicated to supporting the constitutional right of every woman, regardless of economic condition, to a safe, legal abortion, with no interference from the State. The current focus of the campaign is on the State’s legislative action dealing with Medicaid funds. In 1977, the Suprenie Court of the United States ruled that states were not required to pay for non-therapeutic, elective abortions under the Medicaid law. Medicaid funding is a SO-SO proposition, divided between the federal and state governments. In December, 1977, Congress passed the Controversial Hyde Amendment which prohibited the use of federal monies for elective abortions.

The Right to Life Movement will chip away until legalized abortion is completely eroded,” she commented. Kirschner met Thursday with representatives from the Community Action Corps (CAC) and the Sexuality Education Center to discuss the possibility of a campus campaign for the protection of abortion rights. A public meeting to increase student awareness of the issue was suggested, with films, speakers, and information sheets to be presented. A massive letter writing campaign was stressed as the focus of the crusade. The purpose is to “inform and educate State legislators on the issue,” she said. This University is an ideal spot for such a campaign, remarked Kirschner. “The great thing about college campuses is that there are people there who vote all over the State,” she commented. “UB is a great fulcrum for activity.” Legislators from a wide range of districts would be affected with this type of strategy. A table in Squire Hall was proposed as a focal point for the campaign. Legislative directories would be provided to check individual legislator’s voting records on the abortion issue. In addition, voter registration forms would be available to provide an added push “A letter would have more effect if the person could say that’d never voted before, but felt so strongly about the abortion issue they had to register,” Kinchner said.

Senator Dale Volker (R., Depew), chief sponsor of the bill, expressed confidence that the veto would be overriden by the Legislature. He noted that the bill had originally passed the Senate just one vote short of the two-third majority needed to override the veto. Volker, a former Depew police officer and the bill’s main writer, discounted the view that the bill was “barbaric and inhuman,” as one Senator termed it. “The death penalty is in reality an affirmation of life,” asserted Volker. “It says that if you kill, you better be prepared to give up your own life.” All five Western New York senators voted in favor of the bill. One, Joseph Tauriello (D., Buffalo), had voted against last year’s bill because “it conflicted with my Catholic upbringing.” He did, however, vote for this year’s bill explaining, “I hope it isn’t used too often. I hope it’s deterrent. I know the criminal justice system isn’t working now and 1 hope I’m doing the right thing reflecting the wishes of the people in my district. Over 90 percent seem to favor the penalty in my district.” - Desire for justice Members of the Legislature have waged a statistical war over the issue of the bill’s effectiveness in helping to reduce the number of murders in this state. “If the death penalty is not a deterrent, then our whole system is wrong. We must ask ourselves this; are things better today than they were before we abolished the death penalty?” argued Volker. Opponents of the bill maintain that no evidence exists to support Volker’s contention, but do concede that it does have “a certain emotional appeal that helps satisfy many people’s desire for justice.” Raymond Gallagher (D., Lackawanna) agreed that-this might be bill t the case, but insisted that the biggest reason behind his vote for the his previous experience in handling criminals as a guard at the Erie ounty Holding Center. Assemblyman William Hoyt (D., Buffalo), siding with Bishop .Edward Head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo in opposing capital punishment in any form, voted against the bill. “For one, no one has ever proven the death penalty to be a deterrent to violent crimes,” Hoyt said. “I am concerned with the solution to the ptoblem of violent crime as it relates to our society, not with mindless teas in a two-part series and — — — — — • vengence.” Life and death Hoyt expressed concern that the poor were much more likely to be charged, tried and convicted of crimes carrying the death penalty. “The affluent in society always have access to the best lawyers money commented Hoyt. “However, the poor are frequently can represented by public defenders and other attorneys less equipped to deal with life and death cases,” he concluded. Volker denies that his bill will result in bias against the poor, replying that it “has more safeguards than any other death penalty bill in the country.” Under the bill, the death penalty could only be imposed on criminals convicted of “aggravated murder the killing of an on-duty police officer, prison guard, witness in a criminal investigation or The same designation also applies when the victim has kidnap tortured or killed during the progress of a rape, sodomy or been Hired killers or defendants having at least two felony robbery. convictions for violent crimes could also be executed. The bill provides for a second jury to be impaneled after a conviction of aggravated murder.' This jury would be required to consider any mitigating or unusual circumstances regarding the crime.

Evaluations are based on how “unique and appropriate to its charter” each program is.

A series of recommendations were made in its initial report requesting certain clarifications of the College’s charter.

After nearly eight years as President, Robert L. Ketter appears to have little to offer the University. He has remained virtually invisible to students, enigmatic and uninspiring to faculty and now through his own actions has lost the support, trust and confidence of most of his — — Administration. A University must always be looking to expand if not by buildings and numbers then by intellectual creativity and academic refinement. A University President's task is not just to allow or to monitor that expansion, but to lead it. to nuture It. Robert Ketter has lost the ability to lead the perhaps because he himself has not University's growth developed beyond the "law and order," organized engineer image the University seemed to be ripe for in 1970. Though Ketter has made an honest effort to further the physical development of the campus, he has consciously neglected to guide its intellectual development. c *.i r Furthermore, he has not created the admininistrative environment that would allow others to assume this intended role of the President. Thus, the University is stagnating in ways not attributable to stalled construction. The halt in academic progress and the degeneration of the grand dreatns of the 1960s have always been symbolized by the pathetically imcomplete Amherst Campus. Ketter now joins Amherst in symbolizing alt that is wrong with this University. But the widespread disenchantment in Capen Hall hits harder than anything. Ketter has failed to keep the confidence, and more importantly the trust, of the people with which he works most closely. The almost beastly image of Ketter that has been sketched by his subordinates is frightening enough.

So after long and serious thought we must call for the UB Council to remove Ketter from the Presidency of the State University of New York at Buffalo.

UB Sun Day Committee Reed Kellner Keith Bunker Larry Engle Pat Higgins Gregg Gibbs and others Amherst Springfest To the Editor It really amazes me that in one SA meeting, all of Barry Rubin’s planning for the Amherst Springfest was overturned by a vote to have it, instead, on Main Street Campus, It seems to me that the North Campus is absolutely ideal for such a large event, and Main Tell my why Street’s relatively cramped areas just do not To the Editor compare. Can Mam Campus really handle the crowd? What better way, more importablly, to get some student action and involvement out on Amherst, which has a lot to offer if we’d let it. Let’s not shun the place because we’re so used to the old campus. Give Amherst a break. I hate to ask, but could someone please tell why the Folk Festival had to be scheduled for first two nights of Passover? Bent rims Thought forfood Tood Day is a celebration, a time to rejoice in and a time to acknowledge our responsibility to ourselves and the world. Food is the heart of man’s most basic interaction with the environment. The choices we make for ourselves show how we choose for the world; our health is the health of mankind. Food Day offers us a chance to explore and discover how our food effects our bodies and our world; how our individual choices effect cahnge in the whole; how we take life in and our freedom offer it anew to each other.

On a sunny day, you might find one hundred participants out there trying to have a good time. But why must they be subject to conditions which make it hazardous and frustrating to play. We’re speaking about a six-inch curb around the courts, a fence which stops 14 inches from the bottom leaving enough room for a basketball to go under, bent rims, and ditches to be run into after taking a lay-up. The courts, which relieve the strain on the already over-taxed athletic facilities, should receive the attention they deserve Let’s see something done about it! Please. a.in.-3 p.m.; films and discussion groups will be held in the Center Lounge (Squire) from 1 1 a m.-3 p.m. Community groups and local residents will offer a series of workshops in Squire Hall both days from 1 1 a m. -3 p.m. Cooking workshops will be offered on both evenings at Wilkeson Quad (Lllicott). a Special vegetarian dinner is scheduled for Thursday, April 20, at 5 p.m. in the first floor Squire Cafeteria.

(Dr. Bunn) I never said it was a trial, the University is committed to the one contact hour/one credit On March 14 Ronald Bunn, Vice President in charge of Academic Affairs, spoke before the Student Senate on the issue of implementing the five course load. The Spectrum’s reporting of this speech left many with the impression that Dr. Bunn was establishing a committee, on which there would be student representatives, to consider whether to retain the four course load or adopt the five course, one contact hour/one credit system. This is totally incorrect. Rather than argue with the accuracy of The Spectrum's reporting, I would like to reprint excerpts from the minutes of that meeting. (Question) Is it true that the- one credit/one contact hour principle has been officially recognized by the system The ...

(Dr. Bunn) The principle has been accepted Jacket circle administration has accepted * $20 Feepayers - $25 Others the recommendation of the Springer Report that the four course load be abolished. It has made this decision, to ignore the overwhelming rejection of the Springer Report by students in a recent referendum. Dr. Bunn has thrown us a few crumbs, there will be two undergraduates on the committee to implement the report’s recommendations. This is the ultimate slap in the face. The faculty andadministration decide to abolish the four course load and students are invited along to help in the killing. If students are to have any voice on this campus we must unite to force the administration to consider our views and our needs before any decision affecting us can be made or implemented. Bring payment to 191 Red Jacket (636-2351) iiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiniiiiiiii Patrick Young SA Senator No more tickets T o the Editor: Realizing that snow removal from student parking lots in mid-April is of the utmost importance, Campus Security tickets all cars parked in the “No Overnight Parking" areas. Besides the point that a $10 fine is imposed upon all people lucky enough to receive a ticket, to fight the ticket requires time, a trip down to the Amherst town Court and most likely a great deal of aggravation. After unsuccessfully searching the Richmond parking lot for a space, I parked in the Red Jacket area which had ample room. When I returned to my car the next day there Was a beautiful yellow card under my wiper blade. It informed roe that I owed $10. Campus Security told me that all tickets must be handled through the Amherst Court system and that 1 would have to call them. The lady at the Court house said she could set an appeal date in May. Just when I need to fight a parking ticket: the middle of finals! In addition to the fact that the snow removal from student lots was terrible this winter, it is ridiculous that first, the outrageous sum, Syj should have to be shelled out by students; second, that a ticket issued by Campus Security must be Amherst; handled through third, that the unavailability of parking in an assigned area near one’s dorm either results in a ticket or in an unnecessarily long walk. I am urging all students who received tickets for this reason to join together in protesting against them and the trouble that must be gone through to clear them. Please contact me, the more people we have the better our chances at changing this. Gary Gutenstein 636-5540 Not well off To fhe Editor: came home to stand in the unemployment lines.

It’s not punk; it’s flick. In conjunction with the UUAB Film Committee’s spring program, seven films will be screened during the New German Cinema week, which begins tonight. German filmmakers are currently producing some of the finest and most provocative works of the desires as magnifications of our own. Two of his films Aquirre: The Wrath of God and The Mystery of Kasper Hauser were shown on campus last semester. A Herzog picture ultimately R.W. 'Fassbinder is the most prolific filmmaker of the three. He has released 33 films an average of one eypry three months. Whereas Wenders and Herzog depict the essence of the countryside, Fassbinder details life in the city. His claustrophobic kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms are common images. Oftien, his static camera reveals persons seemingly trapped in doorways immobilized. Fassbinder’s manic productivity has left most of his work somewhat flawed and uneven. One gets the feeling that a terapermental artist, Fassbinder; rushes through his films in order to get on to the next one. But his Aims must be judged alongside his previous works, where they tend to glow in stature. A highly stylized and melodramatic flair defines Fassbinder’s art. Exploitation and prostitution are some of his recurring themes. All three of these German directors are planning films under American production; a chance to see them on their own ground is being afforded: It shouldn’t be passed by. — leaves one startled and mesmerized by its original and unforgettable imagery.

Dwyer won the first game and pitched all but two outs of the second. But the senior transfer wasn’t to her keep content accomplishments confined to the pitcher’s mound; she scored three times (with two hits and two RBI’s) in the first game and duplicated that feat (minus the ribbies) in the second. “Tish saved the day for us,” understated coach Liz Cousins. The stoic pitcher with the hurt pitching arm was unimpressed with her own accomplishments. “1 don’t worry about it hurting,” she said. “I that didn’t think I’d be consistent.” Actually, Dwyer First baseman Janet Lilley took over the mound duties for the second game, but very quickly got into trouble. The first batter, Wendy Williams, made it home on a.walk, a stolen base, a passed ball and an error. With one out, second baseman Nancy Brzozinski walked, but was eventually cut down on the base paths. Lilley walked the next two hitters and helped them both across home with wild pitches that sailed over the backstop. At that point, Cousins put Dwyer back on the mound. ‘Great’ hitting The Buffalo coach explained that Lilley has never pitched before this year. Centerfielder April Zolczer, the third pitcher on the squad, also “needs time,” according to Cousins. “That’s my big problem,” she said. “Right now, we only have one pitcher. didn’t need her good stuff in the first game the Frontierswomen of Niagara gave her all the help they could.

Colleges charged with abusing room allotments by Caien Alyce and Harvey Shapiro Students have charged several Housing College of the committees with abusing the room assignment system, claiming that assignments have been influenced by personal friendships and .dangled before students as inducements to join a particular . College. Specifically, charges have been brought against the College of Urban Studies (CUS), College 1, the College of Math Sciences (CMS), and Cora P. Maloney College (CPM). According to a leaflet handed out with the housing packet, room assignments in College B are determined by a committee which evaluates applicants on several areas including participation in College events, years in the College -end yean in ichool. However, Charles Schaenman, a College B member, claimed that the committee has ignored these criteria. He said that in the past two years, nobody in College B Housing knew how the Committee was established. “One day” he said, "it just developed.” Shaeman related that people who had friends on the housing committee last year received the best rooms. He claimed that a person who joined the College last year received a single because he had a friend on the housing committee. “He did nothing for the College except hang a few signs,” he said, Schaenman added that he was a senior, and had been very active in the, CdOege, yet was given only a double. “Everyone knew that I was very active ydt I only received a double,” he said. “To get my it,” the student said. “However,” the student continued, “there was a mixup and I ended up with a double.*’ He also claimed that freshmen were living in singles which were designated for CDS. “Oat of seven singles,” he said, “four or five of them are occupied by freshmen.” A member of the CUS Housing Ira Sedenfeld Committee, vehemently denied those charges. Gift rooms “As far- as 1 know,” he Guilty fingers have also been commented, “there are no pointed at CUS, as one student freshmen that were assigned revealed that the College offered angles by CUS.” Another student confirmed the him a single as inducement to join. The student £ad received, a charges that CDS offered singles triply in the CUS collegiate area in hopes of pining members. “I after going through the regular received a double in their area and housing lottery. He then decided wanted to move out of the area,” to get a room assignment through he related. “When they found out CUS since he would be living in they offered me a single in the that area. “The college told me College if >1 would stay in there was a single open leave the College, Housing takes back these rooms and assigns them,” he said, Schaenman believes that College B should give the Open singles to College members. “If a single opens up 1 am sure the committee could find people who are college members who would Want those tbo’ms,” he said, single I had to complain to Dean of the Colleges, Irving Spitzberg. If it happened to me, it could have happened to others.” According to Residential Coordinator Bob Baron, the ten member committee will generally know only a handful of the applicants. 1 ' “Besides,” he said, “the best rooms are not occupied by friends of the committee members.” Baron also answered charges that there is no set procedure for establishing the Housing Committee, claiming “The residential coordinators from the Housing Office, along with officials from the College, choose the committee.” Schaenman stated that there are freshmen in College B who live in singles. Baron explained that freshmen end up in sihgles when vacancies arise. “When people who signed up and received singles ' SuMfuid to weekday v — -M? i Sprinefest now Main v-m.

Sara, confined to a wheelchair, was unable to participate in the meeting because the Senate Chamber in Talbert Hall is inaccessible. Miller, who has a hearing impairment, did the talking. Soon thereafter. Lew Rose, Chairperson of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYP1RG), volunteered his organization's services. By the first week in January a proposal named the Handicapped Access Project was drawn. The proposal was approved by the proper authorities a week later and Pat Ryan was chosen as coordinator of the progranv Since the inception of the Handicapped Access Project, Ryar. has put in over 175 man-hours talking on the phone, attending meetings, writing letters, and working with legal services constructing a program that wiD‘,*«t he put*it, “show results.’’ Ryan’s workforce is made up of a dozen volunteers who have put in an estimated minimum of 200 man hours. The goal of Handicapped Access is to make all facilities accessible to the handicapped in every way. Services that the able-bodied person takes fro granted daily. “We want the student to be able to get inside buildings but it shouldn’t stop there,” said Ryan. “The handicapped individual must have full accessibility to phones, bathrooms and water fountains.” , Accessibility? To evaluate the inaccessibility situation of the campuses here, Handicapped Access used a four page checklist from the Department of Health Education and Welfare (HEW). It included such items as ramps, curb cuts, light and elevator panels for each of the 60 buildings on the campuses. A secondary list of barriers is currently being processed from the results of the checklists. Once the list of barriers is completed it will be used to pressure the University administration to reform them. How effective and useful the barrier checklist is remains to be seen. The question of the University’s responsibility to the handicapped is not an easy one to answer. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 mandates all educational institutions throughout the United States to make facilities accessible to handicapped persons by 1980. The exact definition of accessible is ambiguous arid poses problems. The HEW established standard guidelines in 1973 ih compliance with Section 504. Bertha Cutcher of Offices of Services for the Handicapped (OSH) pointed out that the University is responsible only for program accessibility. That is, if ther&j&a program that a person in a wheelchair is interested in, the University will, ifpossible, bring that program to the individual if it is regularly held in an inaccessible facility. To date, four classroom changes have been made for nine students. “The University is legally, programatically accessible,” said Cutcher. “There are no physical education majors here that are handicapped so there is no legal reason for Clark Hall to be accessible.” The handicapped question this definition of accessibility. Fulfilling promises The handicapped community and the people working to relieve its plight believe it is a fundamental right to have access to any program offered here. The Champion bench press weightlifter of 1977 was a paraplegic, Ryan argued. “We can’t even get handicapped students in Clark for a swim or into Baird for a music lesson,” he elaborated. Presently, the only physical evidence that has “shown results” for Ryan is the installation of a ramp entrance into Squire Hall, authorized by the President’s office. Maintenance official David Rhoads has assured that the reform wilt not end there. “We have a list of priorities, and Squire is at the top,” he said. “This summer automatic doors will be installed, bathrooms will be refurbished and curb cuts will be placed throughout the campus.” Rhoads could not verify exactly when the accessibility .process would start, due to the uncertainties of shipment and delivery. Demand for the necessary fixtures is high, he said, thus availability is low. “The administration has been very cooperative about the whole thing,” said Ryan. “They have drawn out plans. They have listened to our problems and have made many promises. Their talk is well intentioned.” But Ryan is anxious. “Now I would like to see actual results,” he said. Ryan is afraid the handicapped community might take the small concession of the ramp at Squire Hall and sit quietly herein. He does not want to bargain. Handicapped Access is fighting a moral issue as well as a legal one. Section 504’s preamble states: “No otherwise qualified handicapped individual . . shall soley by reason of his handicap, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” Ryan feels the key words are "any program or activity” for leaving no margin when bargaining for accessibility. Handicapped Access, still in its infancy, will lose Ryan’s services to graduation.

I thoroughly agree with that argument. However, I must object to a particular portion of the letter which was both misinformed and misleading. The part of the letter I' am speaking of is that which discussed the recent political record of the SA. Schwartz et al asked “How come our SA has not done one newsworthy deed in one whole month why weren’t our elected officials at the coal miners’ speech trying to organize some kind of student support either for or against them?’’ First, the coal minors’ speech was sponsored by the &4. 1 believe that sponsorship qualifies not only as a “newsworthy deed,’’ but as an admirable' expression of student-worker solidarity. Moreover, while I had hoped that SA President Richard Mott would attend the lecture, and while I hope'that in the future SA will lend even greater support to the labor movement, it must be noted that Mott was instrumental in arranging the coal miners’ appearance here. Not only did he endorse the original motion in the Senate which allocated funds for the miners’ speech, he also helped scrape up additional money for the event when expenses exceeded my original estimate. “Right on.” Let us become more politically conscious and active, but let us congratulate rather than criticize our elected representatives when they arrange events which facilitate such political \ ...

It is obvious that Jeff Lessoff was removed unfairly and without justifiable cause. The projects that he wanted to finish remain unfinished in order for Ms. Baum to receive her much needed experience on Sub Board. I feel that Jeff’s right of free speech has been violated. Lessoff, who is known for his criticism of The Spectrum and the recent election of “The Party” raised many issues that nobody else had the nerve to bring out. Jeff should not be fired for voicing a different opinion. If Jeff Lessoff (who was Vice President of Sub Board) was fired for no reason and for voicing his opinion, what chance to the rest of us have to voice our opinions? I still don’t know why Jeff Lessoff was fired? 1 bet that a lot of other students don’t know the reasons for his removal either. I wish someone would tell me! Howard J.

The $4 billion figure, based on the wholesale price of the estimated 10,000 tons of pot consumed by Americans yearly, would rank the dope industry with the music, sports, film and publishing industries, according to U.S. Commerce Department statistics. Says the report: ‘The average wholesale price of a ton of dope and there is no shortage of buyers with ready cash is $600,000, indicating gross sales of $4,200,000 per year at the wholesale level. (Profits from resale, which can involve an indefinite number of transactions and middlepersons before the product reaches the ultimate consumer, cannot be reliably estimated.)” The report would indicate that the amount of Americans spend every year on marijuana is comparable to what they spend on other recreations. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce index for personal consumption expenditures, Americans outlay $3-and-a-half billion on books, $8 billion on magazines and newspaper, nearly $3 billion on movies and $1.7 billion on spectator sports annually, while $3 billion is spent on records and tapes every year in the U.S., according to music industry sources. High Times makes the case that the reefer economy is inextricably tied to the American economy as a whole. “The enormous amount of capital that is not “laundered” put of the dope business cycle is plowed back into it,” says the report, “resulting in the proliferation of quasi-formal corporations; giving employment to thousands of individuals and creating thousands of small-time entrepeneurships at the level of the local retailer; supporting small and large farmers at home and abroad; consuming millions of dollars in shipping, transportation, packaging, communications, security, data processing, and other types of commercially produced goods and services whose resulting profits are taxable, though the dope dealer’s income is not.” - - - — - by Denise Stumpo Feature Vi cup lemon juice, or more V* cup olive oil (optional for Editor This cool, colorful salad is adapted from a traditional Lebanese dish served on festive occasions.

Considering the combination of acts (smooth-singing Palmer with former Return to Forever guitarist Al DiMeola), I would have ordinarily expected a shiny, front-of-the-closet crowd, with a slight favor towards disco. After all, DiMeola is the Elegant Gypsy and Palmer is beginning to receive airplay across the soul charts. In tyew York and Boston and Washington D.C., Palmer draws a well-dressed Cosmo audience, and is big on the which-model-issl eeping-with-which-ad-mantonight scene. In Buffalo, only the industry people there to make the first night of Palmer's tour could even come close to that description. Most of the crowd were devotees of speed and sound, therefore making them partial to DiMeola. In fact, it seemed that the maiority Of the audience has yet to hear of "Throujf) It All There's You" or "Blackmail." It didn't help the general ambivalence prevailing when many of the somewhat meager audience exited at the However, despite all these factors and some othrfr considerations, Palmer managed to stand on his feet through the show and even play an encore. DiMeola's style is still very reminiscent of his Return to Forever days, when that band became a purely instrumental jazz group. Fellow Foreverers Stanley Clarke and Lenny White also went on to solo careers, and have pioneered quite a bit in making the fusion form a legitimate one. Where Have / Known You Before, DiMeola's first record with Return to Forever, was an award winner and promptly thrust the tben-teenaged DIMeola into the limelight Return to Forever only lasted about two years longer, and DiMeola was no longer a keen teen. He put out three solo ajfciims, and started touring with 1$ own band a few times a year. intermission. Al OiMaola and Robert Palmar performing at Shea's on Tuesday night One gets roars, the other tried to foot us Beaming bullets The best description of DiMeola would be pizzicato percussion. The sunburst finish of DiMeola's Les Raul throws reflecting beams as his hands charge up and down the scales. The notes are like a round of machine gun bullets: The more notes per bar the better. DiMeola received outstanding accompaniment from his agile bassist and percussion section (which he even momentarily became part of). During a long acoustic solo section, DiMeola duetted with his yibist, filling Shea's with pure jazz sound. The audience roared for DiMeola, with a standing ovation following almost every number. It looks like velocity and volume can be a continual key to success for MiMeola in Buffalo, and one can safely assume that he will be back to this city for more. After an endless intermission (audiences everywhere should rise up and protest this inconvenience, already it's a drag and dissipates the_ anticipation for an act). — - Palmer took the stage with his band. Despite his relative anonyminity, he received a warm reception. For a performer who relies heavily upon sex in marketing. Palmer was pretty conservative in his stage action and dress. No shirts open to die waist, no painted-on-white-satinslacks. Mick dagger has nothing to worry about as far as prancing goes. Palmer was reserved, and when clapping the rhythm out, seemed to be doing it more for his own enjoyment than to incite the audience. It was pretty easy to tell what tunes were from Palmer's latest, , Double Fun. According to Island Records, Palmer's label, the disco-soul feel of the release is what’s getting his add-on the the BLK playlist. "Best Of Both; Worlds," "Come Over," "Nightcr People," and the single "Every Kind*. People," were all dancing numbers, which fortunately passed up the omnipresent hi-hat cymbals that make disco releases dismayingly identifiable. Sneakin' suspicion At times Palmer assumed varying masks. During "Come Over" the strange vibe of Bowie passed across the stage, made even stranger by Palmer's physical similarities to that man of "Fame." Palmer mimics Toots Hibber during "Pressue Drop" and Lowell George's spirit is strongly felt during the "Sailin' Shoes/Hey Julia/Sneak'n Sally Through The Alley" medley. In fact, the ultimate combination for Palmer's act would be to have Little Feat come off his records and follow Paimgr onto the stage. As impossible as this sounds, it would provide the needed tightness that was missing for Palmer on Tuesday night. This in spite of the fact that pianist James Smith demonstrated heavy bill Payne-"Dixie Chicken" influence during "Women Are Smarter." Well if we cant't have that. Palmer should at least be given a bit more time for rehearsal. His statement that he had recently taken up the guitar was rather telling. He looked inappropriate with it around his neck. The band could have been much tighter, and the bill could also have had a better match than DiMeola. It just wasn't that easy to sneak through this time. And you know you'd never fool us in a million years. < > * 1 �Page ten The Spectrum PHctoy, 14 April 1978 . . . ‘ jr/k >. h- i �ua via Bromberg pleasinq in many r genres of music . - ■ by Pat Carrington Sptftrum Staff Wrltar It is* inconcaivabla to ma, after attending his Thursday performance at the Century Theatre, how David Bromberg could ever fail to please even the most picky enthusiast of almost any particular genre of music.

It’s definitely worth the his facial money to get a seat up front for one of his concerts expressions when he tells some of his stories provide excellent ....... - — entertainment in themselves. Using the same backup band (except for the bass player) that appeared with him here at Clark Gym last fall, Bromberg created the versatile, full sound that makes his music so interesting. Bromberg and company can go from a bluegrass-flavored, fiddle-mandolin jam to an Irish jig to Dixieland, all within one song, with equal proficiency. Perhaps his most popular music, though, falls into the R&B-boogie category. Tunes like "Danger Man", "Sharon", and "Send Me to the 'Lecfric Chair" were among the evening's most well-received and enjoyable. Bromberg can actually make his slide guitar sing his name in a-woman's voice, yet so that everyone in the house recognizes it. — Everybody is a star Dick Fegy's acoustic guitar solo midway through the performance provided a break for the other musicians as well as an opportunity to let his own talent shine through. Bromberg's willingness to step aside for a moment and let someone else be heard is just one reason vdiy the they are a unit, not a "star" and band works so well together backup. The David Bromberg Band seems to enjoy themselves playing as much as everyone in the audience enjoys listening to them. show lasted an hour and a half and the band took two encores, it just wasn't long enough. Previous to Bromberg's set, Maria Muldaur and her band played a tight, understated, hour-long show. Sticking out somewhat was John Kahn, noted for his work with Jerry Garcia. Muldaur hat mellowed out a bit, and though the tumes she did were often earthy and bluesy, she newer really "got down" enough. The set's high point was J.J. Gala's "Cajun Moon", slower than her recorded version, with an excellently dreamy flavor. "I Got A Man" was much more soulful and gutsy than authoress' Rory Block's treatment. John Firmin, of Bromberg's band, added some sweet saxophone for a jazzier quality. Surprisingly and Muldaur didn't come back to do an encore, disappointingly although she recieved sufficient applause to warrant One. Opening the show was Boston's Fat Chance. Their strong points were an excellent lead guitarist vdto could also fiddle, and a talented female vocalist. The five-piece band definitely knew their stuff, some of which was rather catchy. Anna Pepper's voice holds the potential for making Woes tunes (like "Love Me Like a Man", for example) really sizzle. If she develops that potential instead of being coy, then the band she fronts will definitely have more than just a Fat Chance. — A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC AT CLARK: Mara old gym with everything from Muagrass to Irish jig Mutdaur, David Bromberg and Fat Chanoa graced the all remarkably proficient.

Such sterotyping is not grounded in the reality of the material world (or in the reality of the playwright, for that matter).

The production at Studio Arena is ultimately unsatisfying because the truth that Albee strives for is avoided. fiorrific A change in thought At a very obvious level, director Richard Barr ignores the years that have passed between the time of the play's debut and the present. By setting the play in 1978, Barr has distorted chronology and history beyond recognition. Martha blithely refers tp World War II being twenty years ago (sic). George, who is in his twiddle forties, tells a story about being in .a speakeasy as a teenager. A pretty mean feat considering Prohibition ended in the early thirties. American thought has changed during that specific decade and a half. People living in an academic community during the sixties would have been faced with student activism against the Vietnam war, against pollution, for Civil Rights, for the Equal Rights Amendment, et al. George and Martha, whatever their ages, seem not to have been affected by this. Nick and Honey, who would have been of the aforementioned dissenting generation, have not the slightest connection with the world they live in. drastically state of marriage or the sorry state of America or the war between men and women.

But the fine line between victim and aggressor, indeed, between one's capacity for good and one's capacity for avil, is quickly, graphically erased, and our previous concern for the boy and the girl turns. if not to contempt, at least to qualified coldness. The final seconds of the movie, which should further OePafma's reputation for filming the bizarre beautifully, leave us with the unavoidable realization that anyone is capable, maybe inevitably so, of doing the worst. Indeed, true to Hitckcock style, it is not even explained to us exactly why these powers are so valuable. All we are told is that they are potentially destructive. A shift of sympathies This potential, when exposed to the wrong stimulus, can swiftly turn into actualization. At the beginning of the movie the boy, played effectively by Andrew Stevens, witnesses what he thinks is the murder of his father. His disposition, which had seemed in the first few minutes to be innocent enough, turns progressively more violent as the film develops. The same thing happens to his father, who spends most of his time evading the men whom John Cassavetes, the movie's only purely evil character, has assigned to capture him.

An Unmarried Woman is undeniably a New Yorker's film (this may be disconcerting to Buffalonians) from locales to characters. It is the story of Erica, a content Upper East Side wife and mother in her thirties who works part time In a SoHo art gallery, and how her world suddenly crashes. Her loving husband of sixteen years tearfully confesses he's been having an affair with a young school teacher he met in Bloomingdale's.

Friday, 14 April 1978 The Spectrum Page thirteen . . . �Peterson's unique way with jazz is classical by Peter Gordon Spectrum Saff Wrifr When classifying music, difficulties ultimately arise. Of course there are some basics: rock and roll, classical, jazz, muzak; but often enough these categories overlap, leading to new subdivisions of music. Country-swing and folk-rock are good examples. These miiMc conglomerates have taken hold in the seventies and have opened all types of ears to all ranges of music. Most obvious in Jazz is the jazz-rock surge (Return to Forever, Herbie Hancock, ate.). But, hidden down underneath the mountainous regions of inexhaustable pressed vinyl is another type of jazz fusion: list goes on and on. Oscar's travels with JATP not only bass line and he went into 'Take The A Train" brought him national prominence but also world wide fame. He played Europe in *S2, 'S3 and '54 with Jazz at Currant classics the Philharmonic, and In the sixties, along with Ella The second set opened with a brief explanation of Fittgarald, was promoted extensively outside the United Oscar's current repertoire. He termed It classical jazz and States by Norman Granz. remarked about someone comparing it to "caviar without Peterson is primarily known as a leader of trios. He the eggs." David Young, a young bassist from Toronto, was originally accompianied by a bass (Ray Brown) and a was then introduced. Oscar admired,his abilities and asked guitar (Irving Ashby. 1961-2; Barney Kessell. 1952-3; and him to play. He explained that from time to time he asked Herb Ellis, 1963-8), but traded the guitar for Ed Thigpen's respected musicians for accompianment on some solo drums in 1950. Oscar and his trio's recorded extensively tours. for Verve records. Now recording for Norman Granz’ Oscar's genuinely original approach to jazz piano is Pablo label. Oscar plays in numerous different formats. He best heard on "Someday My Prince Will Come". Snow still plays with a trio (77» Trio Pablo 2310703; The White's prayer opens with Oscar alone on the piano. He Gmnti, Pablo 2310796). while participating in many a jam takes the melody and disperses it with those long running session (Granz* favorite). Since 1974, however, Oscar has scales. The bass enters the sc ig and Oscar churns out the been concentrating on solo piano. original theme. From here he slides into a blues vein. The new bass addition allowed Oscar a little more freedom in Craftsmen's comfort the higher regions of the piano and in return the two trade When a performer walks up to his instrument he i: leads, with Peterson providing subtle interludes to Young's most-often comforted by his fellow craftsmen. But when a provocative bass. musician plays alone there is no one there to help cover his upright. Young is in supreme control of his flaws; ail responsibility for the performance is on his instrument. Hunched over for the higher register, the shoulders. He must be able to keep the audience's bassist delivers his own version of the melody and the two attention without straining his own talents. It is a difficult musiciahs go in and out of different keys to bring the song challenge and displays the immense beauty of individual to an end. adroitness, On Peterson's "Canadian Suite" Young swings with Peterson is not one to be compared to others. His Oscar while exhibiting a fine feeling for the blues on styU, it may be said, is derived from Art Tatum (with "Young and Restless". Oscar Peterson plays the blues in a some helfi from Erroll Garner) but it has emerged with its manner unlike most musicains. He doesn't simply open up own persona. It combines swing and bebop, yet must be with a simple blues scale; the melody is his and he separated from straight "jazz". Oscar's dazzling technique introduced a little blue through some quick scaling. Subtly displays retarded notes counter to the beet, long running he leads up to some heavy chord progressions and attacks scales and rich chordlng. His immense presence devours the the listener with a shower of notes from a blues line. key boards at his fingers fly up and down all eighty eight. The fact that the auditor can not predict where the In a single song he may change the mood three .or four performer is leading is the key to Oscar's solo success. times. This is done through time or key changes, with the Peterson keeps the audience on guard not knowing what transition often taking place through double octave lines, to expect next, but always assured they will marvel at the A peculiar habit (which can easily be heard on the practitioner's work. Each song concludes with large rounds Trio) is Oscar's mumbling. Possibly inherited from Art of applause, with Oscar stepping aside froth his piano and Tatum, or Thelonius Monk, Peterson emits vocal bowing. The whole environment oozes with respect for the concoctions when the tempo picks up. Reeling back in his performer and for the audience. Oscar's attitude obviously r>,u v seat, his facial muscles squeezing out quarts of sweat, perpetuates this. In a Downbeat interview in December of 1975, he Oscar mumbles, laughs and taps his feet signs of what is commonly called "being into it." The listener can often talked about an audience's consideration for the musician. "Occassionally, when people are noisy," he said, "I'll turn spot an uptempo song when Oscar starts mumbling. This was obvious in his Ellington mtftey. Playing various to them in anger and say 'Would you act this way atva standards made famous by Duke Ellington, Oscar classical concert?.". It is this attitude that perpetuates the constantly changed times, keys, tunes and mumbles, environment. And for a musician of Oscar Peterson's During the fastest rendition of "Caravan" I have hoard. It stature and accomplishment, he more than deserves the was difficult to follow his left hand; then came the double respect that a classical performer demands. , Having never heard of N iagara-on-the-Lake before i became aware of Oscar Paterson's appearance, I had no idea of what to expect of the Shaw Festival Theater. Located about .twenty minutes from the Lewiston-Queenstown Bridge. Shaw Festival Theater is an extremely modern show palace; set out in the southeastern lake, shore of Ontario. The architecture is striking, yet pleasant, and the building does not blemish the landscape, as dues a familar complex which comes to mind. The first floor lobby is decorated with sculptures, photography and art prints: and various rope construction designs lead the way up to the balcony lobby. The theater itself amazed me. The first thing I noticed were the size of the seats. The backs extend all the way above the head and there is absolutely no sight interference caused by the preceding rows. The pine wood decor contrasted greatly with thl black stage, drawing my attention to center stage where the lone instrument stood: a grand piano. The atmosphere conjured expectations of Arthur Rubenstein, not Oscar Peterson, - Canadians gat their man Oscar Emmanuel Peterson was bom in Montreal, Canada on August 15, 1925. At five Peterson began trumpet lessons but was farced to quit because of tuberculosis. At six years of age he began his classical training of the piano. After winning a taient contest Oscar was offered a spot on a weekly radio draw and became a local favorite. He joined the Johnny Holmes Orchestra, one of Canada's most popular, and repeatedly turned down offers to go to the United States. But in 1949 Norman Granz persuaded Oscar to come south. His first concert, that September, was at Carnegie Hall with Granz' Jazz at the Philharmonic (JATP). With JATP Oscar played with all the innovators of the new radical type jazz: bebop.

Neal DuBrock, executive producer of Studio Arena, has promised audiences continued excellence in presenting drama worthy of Broadway theaters. This is a mixed blessing, at best. Attempts of this sort often result in productions with stars (not good actors, but stars) in lavish costumes on lovely sets and plays with little content. Studio Arena is capable of very good work when it realizes that Broadway is a street, not a goat. Friday, f ■ « ,i ■ fur', �'WJpf!** -» :‘V .

Literary history may well regard Jorge Luis Borges as a minor poet. Although he is the most important literary figure to come from Argentina, his poetry lacks the breadth of insight that would make it Immortal. Whereas Pablo Neruda, a fallow South American and, in many respects, superior poet, plunged himself into “vast and foreign domains" of poetic imagination, Borges has remained tied to the narrow offshoots of his singular universe. This universe abounds with classical myths, writers of the past, and fictional tales. His best poems show a preoccupation with his own limited consciousness, sometimes reveling in it, sometimes reviling jt. And he uses it to create very personal, very powerful verses. But when Borges is unsure of his beliefs, when he has none of his own convictions to react with, his poems lose direction and become mere mental meanderings. A search for The Gold of the Tigers Borges' most recent poetry, translated by Alistair Reid, shows the poet at his best and worst. In the title poem, Borges despairs over the fact that his past experiences and imagined knowledge have forsaken him. At one time, the gold sky or the yellow Bengal tiger could satisfy his need for a blonde-haired lover. But he sees now that his universe is void where she is concerned: 0 sunsets, O tigers, 0 wonders of Myth and Epic O gold more dear to me, gold of your hair which these hands crave to touch. Every moment, every minute experience, believes Borges, can be poetic if mankind can become more aware. But his search for this awareness often results in poems which are little more tharka crude cataloguings of arbitrary things, places and rather than insightful examinations. Most of "Inventory" lists old and moldy attic objects which Borges apparently is However, he hints at the end of the poem to immortalize. attempting that he is really attempting to immortalize himself, the minor poet: To forgetting, to all forgotten objects, I have just erected this monument (unquestionably less durable than bronze) which will not be . z* Uncertain identity One of the most appealing features of Borges' writing is his personification of time. 'Time is the substance of which man is made," he has said, "the very proof of our existence is the fact that we have taken up shafts of time, with paths colored by what we have created." In one of the book's strongest poems, "Suicide", Borges describes the connection between time and his human consciousness: I shall erase the accumulated past. I shall make dust Of history. dust of dust. Not* J ant looking at the final sunset, lain heating the %birtl. J bequeathe nothing' to no one.. n the end, esjta freely admits, it is Borges' lack of diverse experience which afflicts ffoftoctftain identity. The myths, tales, and roles he uses to juggaltis preconceptions fade away. Paradoxically, perhaps his most significant poetic achievement in The Gold of The Tigers comes in "I Am' where ha explains why he shall always be a minor poet I aid one who never unraveled the labyrinth of.lime, singular, plural, One's own and everyone's.

BOOB TODB TALK by Charlie Weiner Sptctrum Arts Staff On any given night, television viewers across the country are treated to any number of shows in which there are, among other things, murders, shootouts, extortions and kidnappings. The police/crime genre is a proven quantity on television. Most of these programs command high ratings, and most are pretty much the same. Within the course of any given episode there will be some crime, love, (i.e. sex and romance) and a solution. Each show has its own little something to make it seem different. One features a coronor; another takas place in Hawaii. Some feature private detectives; others, "real" police officers with lines like "Bookem Danno, murder one". Two shows which take very different approaches to the crime genre are Charity’s Angels and Stanley and Hutch. In the case of Charley's Angels, the approach is to use beautiful female detectives. The program relies almost completely on the looks of these women, /nd it falls flat on it's pretty face as a result Starsky and Hutch, however does work. While its basic thrust is almost identical to the others, it contains one rare element: a real relationship between two men. If you missed any of these people at Buff Stata, then there'* no excuse for you not to Shea's Buffalo Theatre April 25 to tee Elvis Costello. Nick Lowe and Mink Devllle.

Each day, the infamous Lev could be seen cruising the Ratskellar with his raspy, unending voice, badgering students into signing their names to his loosely worded petition, which called for a referendum on his scheme. At a candidates debate in Haas Lounge, Lev appeared, awakening the listless audience and cornering Delia into admitting that he “would love course credit” instead of a $2000 Presidential Stipend. Delia though, denounced Lev’s brainchild as totally unaware, unworkable and of course, that he would have to return to die same lounge a month later and repeat the speech at a special forum. However, as ludicrous sounded, as it Levinson’s idea soon to be given the title “Levetendum” was a technically legal one. As long as Lev gathered the required signatures, Delia could not prevent the Levetendum from coming to a vote. But he tried. And tried. He c L a i ip e d the course-for-crcdit did. not exist, that mandatory, fee guidelines would be viplfjed, But many students adip#jed that the Lcverendupi »was legal.

Quite simply, the Levferendum, if passed, would have brought a quizzical end to Delia’s infant term as President. The implication was clear Delia was trying to save his own skin.

It was another cold, snowy day in Buffalo and the streets were slick. Susan’s car skidded off to the side of the road and was hit by another car. As she was exchanging insurance information with the other driver, she was hit by a passing car. Susan spent 11 weeks in the hospital, in traction for the duration of her stay. Susan spoke of the time there as a period of reflection and a chance to think, although she was ketp extremely busy, being tutored in English and Math. “1 can’t say that my stay in the hospital was terrible because I met a lot of really nice people and it was a sort of sanctuary for me,” she said. January semester for UB students, Famous One day Susan received a phone call from a woman she thought was her aunt. After a moment she said, “Do you know who this is?” Susan realized it wasn’t her aunt but comedienne Totie Fields, calling to give her encouragement. Someone had written to Totie about Susan, which prompted the call. Having lost a kg herself, Fields told Susan her biggest goal was to someday Walk with a cane. Susan vowed to do more than that. “It never occurred to me that I’d never walk again,” she remarked. “I knew 1 was going to lose my leleg although no one would give me a straight story.” Nerve graphs were taken from her left leg in an effort to save the right one. Susan was told by her father that she had two choices: she could have her knee fused together, enabling her to save the leg but remain crippled for the test of her life, or have her leg amputated and be fitted with an artificial limb. Susan opted for the latter, because it would give her continued mobility. “It was the logical choice,” she reflected, “because I wanted to be able to do everything I had done before the accident.” Fighting back v Susan credits her adjustment to the right attitude. She adjusted so well, in fact, that she served as a model of inspiration to the other patients. “My strength came from my parents who were very supportive,” she commented. “My mother was worried at first, but my father said he never had any doubts because I’ve always been independent.” As soon as Susan was out of the hospital and back home, determined to transcend her handicap, she scrubbed the kitchen floor with the aid of her crutches to show her family she wanted no special treatment. “Shortly after the accident my father asked me if I wanted to continue driving. 1 told him of course I did!" she related. Her father had her car specially adjusted with a left foot accelerator. Inside of ten months Susan was dancing, cross-country skiing, swimming, hiking, sailing, sledding and traveling. Susan is extremely modest about bouncing back so fast. “Once you know your limitations you can do almost anything,” she said simply. Snow scare Of course there were times when it wasn’t easy. Her fears rose to the surface with the first snowfall. “1 got really depressed wondering if I’d be able to get around. What if I fall?” she recalled thinking. The first day, Susan’s roommate said she would walk with her to class, but Susan, not wanting to depend on anyone, set out to class on her own. After that she was able to face the winter, falling only a few New greenhouse is being constructed A combination greenhouse, teaching lab and storage center is currently being constructed adjacent to the Cooke-Hochstetter tower on the Amherst Campus. Work on the project began last fall and the building is slated for completion by late August and should be available for use in September. The $700,000 building will be used as a teaching and research facility, unlike the greenhouse presently outside Qsry Hall on the Main Street Campus, which does not have classrooms. ‘The Biology department is all out here {at Amherst] now, except for the men working in the greenhouse,” said Assistant Vice President for Facilities and Planning John Neal. Because of the larger size of the greenhouse and the presence of a classroom/lab within it, the potential exists for more classes to be offered in plant biology and related areas. Biology professor Vincent Santilli said, ‘There were at one time three positions within the University for working with higher plants. We have since gone to two, but the University is presently searching for an ecologist for research with plants and also to teach.” Santilli doubted that the presence of the new greenhouse would result in a larger inventory of plants for research. Yet he felt that more money would be made available for the new greenhouse. In an urban university, more emphasis is placed on biological research which can be applied to medicine or dentistry, according to Santilli. “With a new facility,” he said, “there exists the potential for obtaining private grant, funds for research, a possibility that could only aid the biology department. It is more favorable for grants, but whether there will be any remains to be seen. This could benefit the Department, the University and the community.” times. Susan’s father had suggested transferring to a smaller college in order to get around easier. But Susan insisted on returning here last September because of her major and maintains, “Walking is good for me!” Susan is in the Communicative Disorders and Sciences Department. She hopes to put her own experience into use someday by making a career of working with children and adults who have speech and language defects. “I’ll know what they’re going through and can relate to them. 1 hope that they’ll look at me and realize they can make it, too,” she said. “I realize how great human potential is.” For Susan, there certainly seems to be no obstacle to great. In fact, this reporter felt rather lazy in comparison. “People look at me and realize that the same thing can happen to them,” she realted. “But, perahps they’ll understand that they too could manage to go on with their lives if they were handicapped.” Cartoons galore ‘Fargofest’receives kudos Correction Correction A mural-painting “Fargo Fest” was held in the Fargo quadrangle at the Ellicott Complex April 8, to beautify the dormitory environment.

It was also a unique way of bringing the quad residents together. “It was a great cooperative effort,” said Ilarid. “Everybody worked very hard and it all paid off.” According to Samuels, the students took the event very seriously. “We were able to capture the students’ imagination; the response was just unbelievable. Over 50 sketches were submitted to Facilities and Planning,” he said. In the final outcome, 49 murals were painted on Fargo’s walls. There were paintings of such popular figures as Spiderman, Ziggy, Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse. Murals were done of rainbows, starcastles, hobbits, a jungle, baseball teams, and the ocean, as well as numerous colorful geometric designs. There„was even an old-fashioned clothes washing scene painted in the laundry room. “The paintings are incredible,” raved Assistant Director of Housing Cliff Wilson. “From the central housing standpoint we’re more than pleased.

With Perreault leaving the left wing open for breaking in, the New York defense backed up instead of checking the high flying forward at the blue line.

' seems that although the Sabres were victorious, they did not play up to their potential. Against a Ranger team that often seemed sluggish and uninspired, the Sabres hardly looked like a threat to the ominous Montreal Canadians. The Rangers, on the other hand, had the chances but could not put the puck in the net. Thi$, along with their many defensive lapses, proved too much to overcome. Inexperience does not explain all their mistakes either. Too many times the Rangers let Sabres’ forwards skate freely in their own zone, utilizing the stick-check as opposed to the more effective body check.

Mott said that he was “pleased with the attitude of the AGB’s members.” The decision to take the cut was made at an informal meeting attended by Men’s Muto, Athletic Director Ed Woman’s Athletic Director Betty Dimmick, Director of Intramurals and Recreation Bill Monkarsh and his assistant Steve Allen and SA officials Mott, Vice-President Karl Schwartz, Treasurer Fred Wawrzonek and Director of Athletics Ken Kotarski. Sa is asking organizations to take budget cuts in hopes of erasing a $47,000 deficit. At present Sub-Board I Inc. has agreed to slash $ 10,000 from their $314,000 allocation. With the Athletic Department budget reduction and an accounting fee of $7000 less than expected, SA still faces a $20,000 gap. Stott said that he plans to announce where his organization will further reduce its expenditures on Friday. Everyone cut? According to Kotarski the AGB’s main concern was that Athletics was being singled out because of its large SA allocation. “WWe didn’t want to antagonize our with SA,” relationship Kotarski said, “but we were concerned that everyone should take a cut not just Athletics and Sub-Board.” Mott claimed that the AGB was very understanding about SA’s problems. “We explained our budget to them (AGB) and the predicament that we were faced with,” he said. Mott then went on to explain to the AGB that SA would also be making cuts in its budget allaying any fears the Board had about standing alone in making budget cuts. Director of Men’s Athletics Muto stressed that his division cannot cut down on the number of contests varisty teams will play through September because the teams are contractually committed to play. “We will be making our cuts in such areas as equipment and meals,” he said. The decision in what area to —Drablk CONTEMPLATING CUTS: SA President Richard Mott has asked the Athletic Department to accept a $10,000 cut in an effort to reduce SA's $47,000 deficit. make the cuts will be left up to individual team coaches. Each coach will be informed how much the team’s budget has been cut and the coach will decide where the reduction will be made. “WeTl still ’ be "hurting the students that pay,” Muto said Tentative for the plans Intramurals and Recreation division call for the maintenance of programs until the summer when the majority of cuts will go effect, said Director into Hoped for repeal of student health fee is defeated by the State After months of campaigning by the Student Association of the State University (SASU) a hoped-for repeal of the controversial health fee was defeated by the State legislature. According to SASU representative Allen Clifford, the legislature felt that student interest generated across the State was not enough to repeal the fee. Said Gifford, “They didn’t think that we felt too strongly about the fee and that instead of showing an interest in it, we were concentrating on the TAP issues.” SASU, in a last effort will now seek an amendment to the SUNY supplemental budget to have the fee covered by the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). SASU is requesting those who boycotted to pay the fee and clear their accounts. A According to Clifford, 700-800 students took part in the boycott at this University while about 20,000 participated at campuses across the State. He said, “The fee could have been repealed if more people had shown an interest. We will continue to fight it, but there isn’t much we can do now.” SASU organizations at universities across the State began a campaign last semester to gather support for the repeal of the fee (of $17 per year at this University) on the grounds that the money is to be placed in a general fund under the guise of a health fee to make up a $2 million budget deficit. SASU also objected to the fee because it conflicts with SUNY policy. According to the Board of Trustees Uniform Fee and Tuition Act of 1963, all University costs are to be included in tuition fees. The Policy specifically states that a separate health fee will not be imposed. SASU members across the State circulated posters, petitions, and pledge cards in an effort to gather support for the boycott. In addition, they directed letter writing campaigns and lobbying sessions at Senate Majority Leader Warren Anderson and Governor Carey. Hopes for repeal of the fee were reinforced by Anderson staff member James Ruhl who said in March that “there is an excellent chance the fee will be repealed.” Now that the legislature has approved the fee, SASU will redirect its efforts to obtain an amendment to the supplemental budget. Monkarsh. Fewer students on campus during the summer, the belief that students who have paid a $67 student fee should get what they have paid for and a reluctance programs to cut already in effect were cited by Monkarsh as reasons for the plan. Athletic Department The signed a contract with former SA President Dennis Delia in March 1977 committing SA to an annual athletic allocation of $247,000 during the pact’s four year term. The contract was signed after a non-binding amendment in last year’s SA' elections showed overwhelming student approval for a fixed annual allocation to athletics. The vote on that amendment was 1577 in favor and 858 votes against the proposal. The signing of the contract enabled Athletics to maintain enough stability to earn monetary support from the University of Buffalo Foundation a non-profit corporation funded alumni grants. The through Foundation had never been sure up to that point of student support for athletics. The support from the Foundation evolved into $15,000 four-year annual a allocation for men’s varsity — football.' Itt; .rtist's conception of Buffalo's Light Rail Rapid Transit system Fate of the city entwined with $452 million project Costs cause delay Building the proposed transit system will exceed estimates by Can Weiss Manager for Metro Construction Division Kenneth Knight, “our figures just don’t show that.” The transit line running down Main Street will Spectrum Staff Writer The cost of building the proposed 6.4 mile Light Rapid Transit (LRRT) system has risen 26 percent from original estimated costs to $452 million, according to John Winston, Director of Community Services for Metro Construction Division of NFTA. Winston said costs have been inflated by the delays that have plagued the project, and that “every day will bring that figure higher.” Winston addressed a group of local, state and federal officials at a press briefing held Saturday in the Statler Hilton’s Georgian Room. Those in attendance included Buffalo Mayor James Griffin, Congressman Jack Kemp (R., 38th District) and Rail Representative Henry Nowak (D., Buffalo). Officials combination were rail/bus told that the transportation LRRT, a system, in years, would different planning stages for four increase total ridership with less of an operating deficit than would the present or an improved all-bus system. “Contrary to what you’ve been reading that operating costs will shoot up dramatically if we get the rapid transit system,” reported General - be sectioned into three segments, with the initial 1.2 miles starting downtown at South Park Avenue above ground.

The line will then submerge to a rock tunnel subway for the last 3.5 miles and come to an end at the Main Street Campus. - Update on deficits On May 15, NFTA will submit a Capital Grant application to the federal office of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) for approval of the federal portion of the needed funds. Eighty percent Of the capital costs will be covered by federal monies upon approval of NFTA’s request, with the state assuming the remaining 20 percent.

Nine times was Schorr asked to reveal his source, threatened to be held in contempt of Congress and sent to jail, and nine times he would not answer.

The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYP1RG), the Physical Therapy Association, Group working Legal Services, and the Office of Services for the Handicapped have made a joint effort to create a successful Awareness Day. NYPIRG instituted the Handicapped Access Project three months ago and has been compiling a checklist of the University’s 60 buildings accessibility characteristics. The list will show which parts of the campus are inaccessible to the handicapped. NYPIRG’s progress will be emphasized Friday to set an example for other interest groups who might contribute to easing the plight of the handicapped. The Buffalo community has already shown interest. University Councilman Gene Fahey has submitted a resolution to Mayor James Griffin on establishing an office exclusively for services within the city for the handicapped. Harry Wilkeson, Executive Director for National Alliance of Retarded Citizens came to Buffalo last week to establish a local chapter of the Citizen’s Advocacy Program.- Wilkeson called for help from all interested groups and promised to aid groups with the same goal enlightening the public on - the handicapped person’s problems.

The brief meeting included about questions problems with BSU’s expenses this year such as an overwhelming phone bill. Other cross-examinations ranged from discussion of BSU’s sports program, where members play teams from New York State prisons, to mention of a proposed $3000 per year dance program. what we over-request needs approximately $8000 for speakers next year, $4000 for a nationalist conference, $6000 for a newspaper, and 111,000 for concerts. Minority Coordinator Turner Affairs Robinson commented, “Realistically, BSU does not expect to get what it asked for, but that doesn’t mean the money isn’t necessary.” The only excitement during the hearing came when Derek Lovell paraded around the room answering questions about a proposed BSU Karate Club, to off his United States Karate jacket. Professional Former BSU President Walter (Pete) Haddock, who answered many questions, remarked about the Committee’s interrogations, “Why don’t you give us money to educate you to our culture?” Luis PODER President show said Rodriguez organization expected money it requested, justified aksed for.” She explained that some organizations The Student Association (SA) Financial Committee heard requests from two of the Special Interest groups requesting the most substantial budget increases for the next fiscal year at part of the open hearings held Monday.

The Spectrum . Page three �Rapid transit . —continued * deficits of the entire NFTA rail/bus system with evidence of a State and local consensus on how these deficits will be met, and an update on capital costs including payment provisions for aqy overruns. The required data was secured by Alan M. Voorhees Inc., a Washington, D.C. firm with whom the State and federal governments have been working. The Voorhees study claims the ridership of an all-bus system would increase 17 percent by 1985, but that an LRRT system with a network of complementary bus lines would show an increase of 59 percent. The figure is lower than that originally calculated, but ranks high in comparison to proposed mass transit lines elsewhere. “The reason for increased ridership would be that the system’s level of services will improve with the addition of the LRRT,” explained Knight. $.70 fare Figures arrived at by the consultants project an operating deficit of S21.1 million by 1985 with the present system as opposed to a $15.3 million deficit if the rail system is added. The figures are based on an expected fare of 70 cents for either system, and take into account the current rate of inflation. Responsibility for each deficit dollar resulting from current operations is shared by the federal government which assumes SO percent, the State at 25 percent, Erie County at 22 percent, and Niagara County the remaining 3 percent. When the counties neglect to fulfill the obligations of the debt, the State deducts that amount from their aid allotment. a S However, claiming that LRRT will not benefit Niagara County, Chairman of Niagara County Legislature Russel 1 Park proposed a resolution to take all possible legal action to protect the county from any cost overruns and operating deficits if the LRRT is added to the transportation system. • from page 1 — • In a survey conducted by the Voorhees firm, 78 percent of those questioned responded affirmatively to the query, “Do you favor a continued use of local public funds to support local public transportation?” Presently, each resident in Erie and Niagara Counties pays SI.33 annually towards deficits. If the LRRT is constructed, this figure will rise to $2.64 per year, as opposed to an" escalation to $3.65 if the transportation system remains unchanged. NFTA officials said that the federal loan administration (UMTA) wants them to submit a resolution or written statement explaining how the deficit problem will be dealt with as proof that the city wants the system. NFTA plans to propose the present deficit sharing formula to UMTA, in spite of reports by Representative Nowak that formula changes are possible. “Who knows exactly what will occur by the time the line is finished?” he asked. Light rail, chosen after financial considerations, is different from heavy rail, as its energy is supplied to the rail cars by means of overhead power wires, and not by a third rail on the ground. The weight of the rail cars is also slightly less. Problems forseen There are two areas where construction at Ferry and Amherst Streets problems are forseen with water underground. That may mean additional cutting up of the street at Main and Amherst and Bruce Beyer trial date rescheduled The trial date for Vietnam War Resister Bruce Beyer has been rescheduled for April 20. After a seven year exile in Sweden and Canada, Beyer crossed the Peace Bridge back into the United States in October 1977. Represented by former United States Attorney General Ramsey Clark, Beyer faved two three-year concurrent jail sentences stemming from a 1968 assault conviction. The incident prompting the conviction occurred during a “symbolic sanctuary” taken in the Unitarian Universalis! Church on Hlmwood Avenue, where Beyer and Bruce Cline had sought refuge from the draft. Fighting with FBI and police outside the church resulted in nine arrests and the Buffalo Nine trial. Although originally scheduled for March 29, the trial was postponed by Federal Curcuit Judge John Curtin because his “counter was full.” Prosecuting attorney Theodore Burns said that the court session would take the form of oral arguments concerning two motions filed by Clark.

Spectrum article of Friday, it was recounted that I don’t like that since Yogi had said there is no sin word either. But 1 know that the greater the distance you put between you and other people, the further you are from knowing life as an initmate love affair. On Thursday afternoon after the theft, let me relate to you the things I was feeling. The thought occurred to me that, the next chance I get, I’m going to rip someone off to regain an equilibrium in my material possessions. I was wishing all sorts of things on everyone I saw the strangers as my foes and wished the earth would open up and swallow them all. The passion of those hours passed and today my attitude is partially restored. I picture a person who always wishes anyone they don’t like would die and rot away or the person who insults without then thinking and making ammends or the person that would steal from another person not from a system like the Government or Food Service or the Library — I picture that person as but a person a life someone who once was victimized and “gained” the attitude that I had yesterday then proceeded to victimize others without thinking exactly what he was doing. 1 urge everyone to think don’t shrug it off. I am once again giving the people around me the benefit of a doubt that they are thinking and therefore caring individuals. Maybe I’m wrong, but I like to think it. And now to the person who took my keep the bag, the umbrella notebooks but please, the notebooks? - In a typically insensitive move meant to cover up an intentional manipulation of the SUNY budget disaster, the State legislature has vetoed SASU's request to repeal the all-new, all-controversial and all-gimicky health fee. Intolerable is that, although officials at this University and in Albany have publicly admitted that the $2 million-plus is not at all going toward health services, but to offset SUNY budget deficits. State officials can stilt vote aside the fee's repeal. Let’s consider the person who would take another person's notebooks. You may be thinking that I am speaking of a very small segment of the University community, but it is the same attitude that compels people to steal more monitarily valuable items calculators, texts, skis. It is the same attitude that makes a small group of people push to get on a bus even when it is clear that there are plenty of seats for everyone. It’s the same attitude that allows a person to lazily leave his tray on the cafeteria table or ignite a fiercly fuming cigarette on a bus with no concern for the other humans around him. In short, the group of people here that don’t care about anyone they don’t know is not a small one. Such careless, unthinking acts. a perhaps I have a strange trust in people naive hope that all people will think about their acts and they they will try not to be detrimental to my life. Today, it has been difficult for me to sustain that attitude. It was in disbelief that 1 emerged from the Squire Bookstore and went to pick up my book bag containing not calculators nor cameras nor only a book and notebooks filled with money weeks of work and found that someone had taken it. I realize the bag’s appeal; it was a nice brown vinyl bag with an umbrella in the side. Its loss is not significant to me. The notebooks are important though. They are of no use to anyone else and to steal then is senseless. I’m not telling you this for your sympathy. I want you to think. 1 want you to think about what you are doing when you take something from someone or when you inlist insulting words against a sensitive associate. Think about the chaos you arc making of the other person’s life and think closely about what you are doing to yourself. I found it interesting that in a The — Claiming that too few students were interested in the issue, the State legislature has shoved to the back of the bus student rights and expenditures in favor of SUNY's interminable budget crises and cheap, discriminatory means of solving them. This alleged health fee is a direct slap in the face to SUNY students across the State and to efforts by SASU to organize them into a cohesive voice. Students themselves must pay the extra, unwarranted fee $17 at this University because, as it is not included in tuition charges. It is not covered by TAP, Regents, BEOG or any other loans or awards. According to the Board of Trustees Uniform Fee and Tuition Act of 1963, all University costs are to be included in tuition fees. The policy specifically states that a separate health fee will not be imposed. SASU representative at this school Allen Clifford made a valiant effort, in coordination with SASU reps statewide, to get students not to pay the health fee and to register their protests with the State legislature, but his work was obviously not enough. So, SASU should begin organizing another attack on SUNY and on the State legislature for next year, but it To the Editor. should be a more direct attack.

Threatened Mandatory cuts The coming of spring heralds not only warm weather but the inevitable budget cuts that must be made by the Student Association (SA). This year SA, facing a $47,000 budget deficit, must make some hard decisions about where to cut expenditures. Sub Board I, Inc. and the Athletic Governance Board (AGB) have made those decisions easier to reach by taking voluntary budget reductions amounting to $10,000 for each organization. In the face of ever increasing problems, from student apathy to budgetary crises, the student body can only hope to be strong when all cooperate and agree to help each other out on an individual or organizational basis. Of course, how the financial deficit came to be in the first place is another story, and an apparently dumb one at that.

Joe Warren 845 Porter Quad Get up it’s Spring In To the Editor. I agree with the majority of students that it is time U.B. had a spring festival like that of S.U.C. Brockport. However, U.B.’s Saturday, May 6, Springfest seems to be missing the spirit of spontaneity that Brockport’s Spring In embodies. Two years ago I was a student at Brockport. From the first day of class we were reminded that Spring In would be held on one of the first warm days of school. As the snow melted and the sun began to shine, we speculated what day the festival would be held. No one was sure until the morning when campus police drove around with their sirens on and announced, “Get up. It’s Spring In!” Following the announcement, no one goes to class, including the instructors. Commuters arrivings for class readily join the celebration. It’s a carefree day of music, sunshine, and more free beer than one can drink. Spring In is an overwhelming success because students are not apathetic about it. Everyone is ecstatic about their unscheduled holiday. It’s like a special gift from the Student Activities Board. I’m afraid U.S.’s spring festival will be just another weekend activity.

Group �FEEDBACK Sick sick, sick , ( T Throughout recent months my job has taken me to many college campuses around the east coast At one of these institutions Swift College in Burnbeby Hills, Connecticut 1 encountered a unique and potentially useful social/po 1 itSeal event. I think a brief description will prove very interesting to the readers of The Spectrum. Several months ago a student at Burnbeby was sitting in a lounge chair in the Burnbeby student union reading a newspaper The student, who style” with a finger down the throat The next day a photograph of the mass vomit appeared in the college paper, accompanied by an Yellow Column’ Hxpells Guilt." I editorial, Do something quote; “No one should he deluded into believing that such a mass vomiting is pointless. The “Yellow Column” were expelling their guilt They were tired of being “apathetic,” fed-up with containing the cumulative nausea of a hundred-thousand atrocities. These guilt-ridden and noble students have finally "spat-hack” so to speak. Their lemon-lime columns of vomit should be smelled as the battle-heave of the “middle-class over fed Their outpouring ritualizes gut-level discontent in an unprecendented and unpretentious way. We hail the “Yellow Column We salute Paul Shroud' and we urge the “silent nauseous” to be in the lounge tomorrow morning to throw-up in this grand affair Parly breakfast of lemonade and eggs will be served. Come! Vomit'" With these strident words so was a tradition Tit the Editor 1 am in full agreement of Bob Cohen’s April 7 complaint of the garbage left on cafeteria tables. I was really glad that somebody voiced their disgust on this unfortunate matter 1 happen to know Bob Cohen, and what disgusts me even more than the lack of cafeteria couth is this seemingly concerned student’s hipocracy. More than once I've seen Bob shove a tray out of his way, pissed off, however unwilling to take care of it himself 1 like Bob, but like so many complaining “Go do something about people on this campus . — Shroud was seen by many observers to spew a column of yellow vomit through the air onto the front page of the Burnbeby Gazeteer Instead ot being disgusted by his vile act, Shroud merely placed a stick of gum into his mouth and said, “that felt rather good. I’ve been sick lately." Several of the students left the lounge in a rush, apparently to make 10:00 classes, but several remained, awed by Shroud and his vomit. The group only disbanded at 1 00, after a thorough reading of the sports page, and after several students almost finished the crossword puzzle. But the next day, at the very same time, Shroud was back in the same chair A group of 100 people was present, waiting in a semi-circle of blue chairs. Shroud let no one down. At 9:50 a m., as if on a cycle, Shroud spewed another column of yellow vomit onto the front page. To the amazement of no one, a group of seven other students, calling themselves the “Yellow Column,” spewed seven other “columns” of essentially yellow vomit. Hach then placed a stick of gum into their months and said in unison, "That felt rather good I’ve been sick lately All of the columns were purportedly spontaneous, though at least one witness not too close to the scene reported that she saw one ” ” ” it begun.

Since Rich Mott, Karl Schwartz, Jane Baum and the rest of the party took office I have only read or heard about one specificaction which they have taken: That was to fire Jeff Lessoff BIG DEAL!!! How come our Student Association has not done one newsworthy deed in one whole month? Why do I not see any more debates in Haas Lounge? Why weren’t our elected offocials at the coal miners’ speech trying to organize some kind of sthdent support either for or against them? No, it was Paul Friedman, former VP candidate, at the coal miners speech trying to drum up some type of awareness of the situation Why do I not see FSA trembling at the policies of the new administration? Why did Mike Niman (another VP candidate) take the time out to investigate nuclear readioactivity in Western New York? Why is Niman not getting a stipend'.’ Why are the SA officials getting stipends? Why doesn't The Spectrum analyze the present situation (the fact that the SA is not doing anything)? Why is Jay Rosen going to be Editor ol The Spectrum ? What’s going on here? Our student teachers are getting paid and paid well ( Phis is perhaps the problem.) They made approximately 100-200 dollars last month in stipend salary and what did they do to deserve it? In my mind nothing!! I say nothing because being an “aware” student in this University, in the last month, I have sat at a table in Norton Union (Squire my ass) and informed people about the anticipated march of Nazi’s in Skokie. Furthermore, I have been listening to other people inform me about the problems of the coal miners, the injustice of the Wilmington Ten ease, the facts of the Bakke case, the human rights violations, in the “Communist” Soviet Union, elements of Hassidic elements of Christian Philosophy, philosophy, and NYPIRG’s current legislation. All of these dedicated people are not being paid but are working hard to present issues to people, whereby the people could further investigate and involve themselves in these issues. Two of these dedicated people, Mike Niman and Paul Friedman ran for office this year and lost but they are still working hard. On the other hand, our elected officials are not to be seen. They are, I suppose, “Working Hard” in their offices but what does that do for me or any other student? Perhaps 1 have blind optimism but I am almost positive that either Comrades Friedman or Niman (Why comrades? Because they truely care about us, they are one with us.) I would like Spectrum and the to put forward a question to general student body concerning would use the amazing power that the SA has (monetarily, but what e^se-seems .to matter ip. America) to help us disseminate'information and even organize support for or against things that I have just mentioned. The question one now asks is why should SA officials get involved in national issues? Perhaps for no reason than that these issues affect us tremendously. But this is not what is important What is important is that our student leaders are not even telling us about student issues. I do not see any student government representatives in Norton Union or in any other highly accessible or visible area who are telling us about student issues. I would enjoy and I’m sure many students would enjoy being informed about student issues (and 1 don’t mean setting up Spring-In. 1 can get drunk anytime I like. Unfortunately 1 can’t organize a student boycott against the abolition of the four-course load anytime 1 want. Only representatives of Student Government can effectively organize around student issues.) The point that I am trying to make is that there are many dedicated people in this University trying Lo inform us in national issues. But when it comes to student issues, I see nothing For some reason the student body is forced to elect a few representatives to run their affairs. Even though in theory every student can contribute to SA it seams that in practice the representatives control what happens in the organization This situation has arisen because the representatives have not and continue to neglect to petition for student support. I suppose that any person who would run for the leadership of the SA would have instilled in him a tremendous dedication to seeing that the entire student body was aware of all the student issues. The present administration has not shown this dedication at all and for this reason I say they are doing nothing. This brings to the question of the likely new editor of The Spectrum Jay Rosen was one of the people who an the present in bringing played integral part administration to power. It is widely known now that The Spectrum picks the winners of the SA election Mr Mott agreed with Jay Rosen’s ridiculous idea of getting professional advisors for SA This must have done wonders for Mr Rosen’s ego and in return he gave Mr. Mott’s party The Spectrum endorsement. Mr. Rosen’s idea is ridiculous to me because it just will alienate the general student body more than it is now. I feel students money should be spent on informing students on issues so that in turn students can fight for what they believe (by boycotts, petitions, demonstrations) Mr. Rosen, on the other hand, would give money to “professional advisors” who will put up the usual passive resistance against administration This outlook is a continuation of the “philosophy” that students gain more through cooperation than protest student probably But let’s look at the facts. We are losing our 4-credit classes; we are losing our SU alternatives, University class sizes are increasing and new fees are being added to our bill every year We didn’t seem to get too much cooperating with administration last year Mr Rosen and company said that both Niman and Friedman were unviable candidates for election but as l have already stated 1 feel that they were both eccellenl and dedicated candidates. Now let me analyze Mr. Rosen’s head and see where his reality is at because he said that Comtades Niman and Friedman were unrealistic. Let’s remember that those that control the media control the masses. Let’s see where Jay Rosen’s name first appeared in The Spectrum It was back in September of ’76 (a dark moment in UB history) when the “Liberal" defender of student rights, Jay Rosen, attacked Prof Fd (misspealt by Rosen as Flwin) Powell as “undermining the legitimacy of the state.” He went on to cite Powell’s socialist ties as a reason for demanding Powell’s dismissal from the University. He also attacked Powell for letting a College F spokesman speak and “recruit” students Let’s see The Spectrum reprint Rosen’s letter now In that letter and in succeeding articles Rosen consistantly showed little open-mindedness to new ideas and a very limited sense of “reality .” This seems to me to be very dangerous for an editor of a newspaper So what is to be done? In my opinion SA must be decentralized into a class or some other collective organization All students must have equal input into SA SA can only work when its members care about it, feel for it and are willing to sacrifice for it Students together and only together can form change. And what do I mean by change? 1 mean a school where ideas would be openly discussed and where education is for all A school where students can live together uncompetitive and truly free and uninhibited These are the ideas which fid Powell stands for and 1 hope all people would stand for Right on!

Page seven �TAP applications are revised to cut errors Council to gain student rep bureaucratic Student Association (SA) Executive Committee decided at a the meeting Monday to hold the the student to the representative College Council on April 26. The Council is College election comprised for of prominent members, appointed for indeterminate periods of time by the Governor of New York State, and one non-voting student elected by representative the University student body. private the Descendant of University of Puffalo’s Board of Trustees, the Council retains little administrative power but makes recommendations to the University President, and is seen as an important link between the University and the Buffalo community community. Due process The controversy arose when the elections were originally scheduled to be held concurrent with the undergraduate Student Association elections. A protest that has yet to be produced, contended that SA allegedly agreed that holding the elections at a time when undergraduates were voting was unfair to graduate students interested in running for office. As a result, the elections, originally planned for March 1, 2 and 3 were postponed. In response to this change in dates, graduate student Michael Pierce filed an official protest contending he was denied “due process of law.” Noting that no official notification of change was presented, Pierce said he does not know who required the changing of the dates. He addressed a letter to former SA President Dennis Delia saying that SA failed to meet two criteria formal — a notification written statement of general intent to change or reschedule the election, of and adequate advanced notice before the date of the original deadline submission for of petitions.

The Bulls will enter the championships with only five formal practices under their belts due to the Faster vacation and the rotten weather here Still, coach Tom LaPenna thinks the team will perform well “We have a lot of good fighters on this team.” With the exception of fifth singles man Dave Meyers, the entire varsity squad from the last season is returning. In the fall, the Bulls played superbly, winning eight of ten matches. This spring, the Bulls will be competing against only four teams: Cornell, Colgate, Albany and Binghamton. All four, though, have excellent tennis programs and promise to give UB quite a battle. “We will be doing very well if we go 2-2,” said LaPenna. Leading the team in first singles will be freshman prodigy, Todd Miller, who finished last season with a 9-2 record. Strong, fast and wirey, Miller hammers, smashes and lobs consistent winners past his opponents. “Todd is in a class by himself here,” said LaPenna. Miller is also UB’s top chance to make the Division III Nationals. No practice After Miller, UB is led by team captain Steve Blumberg and Ted Baughn in the next two spots. Filling out the rest of the team are Jay Kiman, Orin Augustini, Larry Blieberg, Kevin Donavon and Rick Dash. The players have not had the best conditions under which to prepare for a rigorous season. Practice in the Bubble during the winter lay-off was cancelled because of the multitude of other activities held there. And even when the outside courts were rid of snow, the temperatures were not too mild and the winds beat the balls about sure I’d have no problem convincing these guys Joked LaPenna, “I’m logo down to Florida over Faster vacation!” Still, the Bulls look as if they are in good shape and have been putting away grueling drills and distance runs this past week. College tennis is one of the most strenuous sports, requiring the players to go all out in a full singles match and then come back to play doubles. Long-lasting Bulls Roday, the Bulls will have to go twice as far: four matches a player. Since the SUNY championships consist of three teams, each Bull will have to endure a singles and doubles match against one team, and with less than a few hours rest, come back to do it all over again. The Bulls are strong in the first few spots in singles, yet the prospect is not quite as certain for the doubles squads. Captain |Blumberg traces the chances for success this season to the fourth, fifth and sixth singles spots, rioting that they have improved. Prior UB tennis teams hate been characterized by their puissant perseverence, defeating impressive opponents by virtue of their superior handling of tense competition. This season promises much of the exciting same. According to LaPenna, the UB team will win on “sheer guts.” Clark roam relying on a three woman lung staff including two who do double duty. Sophomore Janet Tilley (also a first bakeman) and April Zolczer (also a senior centerfielder) will be sharing the mound duties with top starter Tish Dwyer. According to Cousins, Dwyer is pretty strong, experienced pitcher.” Dwyer, who transferred from Oswego for her senior year here, will be starting today, with Lilley ready in case of trouble. “ Good everything The infield will be Debbie Williams at third and Dottie Holtz at short. Williams might have a little trouble with her position, as she has never played in the hot corner before. Joanne Csati and Jeanne Brereton will alternate behind the plate. ‘‘We’re really strong in the outfield,” commented Cousins.

He urged the medical to “know the profession utilization patterns of medical care and to be aware of the population’s needs in order to resolve unbalances.” This topic was the most familiar to the onlookers and elicited considerable audience response.

Dremuk claimed that neither he nor anyone in his office could remember SA officials even contracting A&R for this year’s enrollment estimates. “SA usually contacts me,” Dremuk said. The 13,100 figure used by SA last year is the same estimate on which the 1976-77 budget was semester, the deficit was whittled down to $47,000. Seiden said that the present SA administration is “Overreacting” to the budget based. Former SA Treasurer Neil Seiden, who prepared the 1977-78 he “doesn’t budget, said remember how the information (enrollment figures) got to me.” Seiden nevertheless felt the drafted is a budget he “completely workable on crisis and lacks the necessary “true experience” to handle the deficit. ” Speaking figures Anticipated revenue f igures are arrived at by multiplying projected full-time enrollments by $67, the current mandatory fee. The budget is readied under the assumption that all anticipated revenue will be received. Thus, when fall enrollment fell about 940 students hort of SA’s 13,100 projection, anticipated revenues had to be scaled down by about $63,000. Neil Seiden. former SA Treasurer 1 New SA Treasurer Fred Wawtzonek retorted that the figures speak for themselves. “I’m not over-reacting,” Wawrzonek said, “we don’t have the money.” He said that the $47,000 figure was an optimistic one and “My suspicions tell me that it may in fact have to be revised upwards, although that is not likely.” — - Jenson Possible contingency Through various expense adjustments and increased part time enrollment for the spring “All expenditures that contained my signatures were appropriate Every ones. dime can be accounted for Mien did the former SA officials detect signs that the budget crunch was impending?

Seiden then met with Sub-Board I Treasurer Dennis Black to map out possible budget curtailments by the student service SA corporation. contributes $329,000 about one-third of its budget to Sub-Board. According to Seiden, preparation for possible budget slashing is not unusual and that he was only “preparing for a possible contingency.” Regarding questions that the former SA administration overspent its budget, Seiden said.

Landlord Bob Tyrrell notified Co-op officials last week that the lease would not be renewed in light of plans to move his business, The Branch Bookstore, into the building. Tyrrell cited tax and insurance advantages as the main reasons for his move across the street. The having Co-op to suitable is in danger of close permanently if space and sufficient money cannot be obtained. Currently, the picture doesn’t look that bleak. “1 don’t think people will allow the Co-op to close,” said Noreen Brewster, a former coordinator. “None of us want to see it shut down.” North Buffalo, an offshoot of the Lexington Co-op, opened in January, 1971 at its present location. Members order their food in bulk, finding it cheaper, fresher, and more satisfying than shopping at a supermarket. Non-members, while not receiving the 15 percent discount, usually find that they still save money buying their groceries at the Co-op. Unrefined, unprocessed, organically-grown foods are available. The only one of its kind in the University area, the Co-op is the Super Duper/Wilson Farms alternative for both on and off campus students, who comprise the majority of its customers and members. Area families also use the Co-op; records indicate that 40 percent of sales are to community residents. If no viable space is found in this area, the Co-op will relocate from the University away neighborhood. “We really don’t want to do that,’’ said Brewster. “The North Buffalo Co-op should stay in North Buffalo, but we’re not opposed to looking in other places. We want to stay in business.” The under most impressive option consideration is the purchase of the former George’s Furniture building at 3144 Main Street, next door to Marine Midland. “The financing will be difficult,” said very Co-op coordinator Lenny Skrill. “The building cost $63,000 and we’d to have assume a $48,000 mortgage.” The non-profit Co-op, with only $1,000 in its savings account, is seeking a bank loan and ideas. fund-raising Down-payment, the necessary lawyer, and other fees will total $20,000, estimated Brewster. The prospective location is twice as big as the present Co-op space, comes with a parking lot, and would allow for expansion in terms of stock, work space, storage, and projects, notably recycling. The building includes storefront and three apartments, 'which would be rented out. “Owning a building is a very nwesOme responsibility,” said Brewster. “Kveryone is another * —Coker North Buffalo Food Co-Op must move by May 31 Where to? Lack of finances may prevent purchase of another building excited, but, hesitant." at the same time Rentable space Nearby storefronts for rent include the former Water Brothers and both Deli, Main-Spear recently gone out-of-business. Water Brothers, at 3134 Mam Street, was taken over by the city after the owners defaulted on tax payments, and used the building as collateral on another loan. A lien on the building exists, meaning that it cannot be sold until the financial matters are cleared up. The case is now in litigation, and more information will be available this week. The Water Brothers location is larger than the present Co-op and quite suitable, according to Skrill and Brewster. The Main-Spear Deli at 3212 Main is smaller than the present Co-op, therefore not as feasible. According to several business sources, the Deli was forced to close because it could no longer with the prices and of the Wilson Farms commete hours — store across the street at Main and Winspear. convenience The Branch Bookstore location will be available June 1, but does not seem a viable option. The owner (Parlato) is not looking for a Co-op type tenant, said Skrill. Parlato-O’Bnan Realty, Inc. is located next door at 3216 Main. Political alterations It is clear to many people who are part of the Co-op that they undergo political must now changes, as well as locational. “We have to become tighter, business-oriented,” more commented Peter Forbes. “We’ll have to substantially expand our sales,” said Skrill, “and we should hire people to do accounting so that our books are constantly kept.” “The decision-making process will stay the same, but alot of political feelings have to change,” stated Brewster. “People will have to realize that the Co-op is a business not run in the same way as others but still a - - business.” Over 1,000 people shop each week at the Co-op, yet only 350 to 400 are current members. About 150 to 200 of them consistently put in the required four work hours per month. “The move is going to take an incredible amount of time and energy,” noted Skrill. For example, in order to move out the coolers, the front picture window must be removed, he informed. If a new location cannot be found in two months’ time, the Co-op may close temporarily, selling off food stock, and storing its facilities. Fifty people showed up at the Co-op meeting last Tuesday to discuss the situation. Legal, financial, support, publicity, and options committees were formed. An ad hoc collective was created by people who will be working full time for a small amount of money and food credit. Many more people are needed to help with ideas and organization even those with only a few hours to spare, interested persons can stop by the Co-op at 3225 Main Street or call 836-8938. �‘The Trib’ bites the dust Atop a row of desks located which plagued New York City this along one wall of the newsroom, winter.

Additionally, no leak of such experimentation has found way its into the scientific grapevine. Many felt that if the cloning had truly occurred, word about it would have somehow gotten out shakey.

At the Moving Off-Campus workshops last Wednesday and Thursday nights, housing lists of 110 available housing units were distributed to some 300 students. By Friday, the majority of them had been rented. The mad scramble is on. “For every one apartment listing, there are 10 people looking,” said Sub Board Publications Division Director Mike Volan. “We have about 150 units now, and the nice places are starting to come in.” Beginning next week, a 24-hour service will enable students to drop off a housing request form and return the next day to receive a personalized list of availabilities. Presently, OCH visitors must thumb through a file of index cards in order to obtain listings. OCH employees are telephoning all students who live off campus this week in order to get more listings and determine exactly what is available. Names and phone numbers were obtained from Admissions and Records but may not be accurate if students have not updated their data forms. Students who are seeking to fill apartments, houses and rooms should make public their listing by calling the Off Campus Housing office at 831-5534.

Further support was offered by the, Buffalo State Collge SA which will handle all of the necessary advertising and public relations work. It was decided at the meeting that New York Governor High Carey and aO area congressmen will be invited to the festival in the hopes of gaining some support for public education. The - attration of 5 10,000 students, most of whom are voters, coupled with the fact that this is an election yekr, is very likely to produce an appearance by the politicians, said Rubin. Rubin outlined a tenatiye format for the all-day party which includes live music, acitivites booths, athletic exhibitions, and an evening show, consisting of various stage acts. Earlier there had been talk of booking a big-name band for the evening show butRubin stated that this wasn’t possible “due to financial reasons.” The number of bands to be is; currently unknown due to the uncertain amount of funding for the festival. However, several local bands as well as students bands have expressed an interest in playing, and some indicated that they would provide their services at no charge. Planners of the event are hoping to make Springfest amemorable experience. AS Springfest Committee member Ron Klein put it, “If it goes as planned, it should help Jo greatly decrease student apathy.” Many feel that this is a great starting point to attack what they termed the ever increasing boredom at UB.

The five search committees for Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (FNSM); Dean of Social Sciences and Administration; Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs; Dean of Undergraduate education; Dean of the Division of Continuing Education (DCE); and Dean for the Colleges all expressed optimism in their committee’s progress to date. Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn, who commissioned the committees and will oversee their progress, commented, “The committees are still in the process of screening candidates for the available positions, and they are trying to determine which candidates they will invite to the University for personal interviews. Considering the fact that the searches started only two months ago we are proceeding well and are basically adhering to the schedule we have set.” External applicants Professor of Biochemistry Alexander Brownie, Chairman of The Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (FNSM) search committee also indicated good progress in his committee’s efforts. “Now we have narrowed our list to four candidates external to the University,” he said, “and beginning next week the candidates will be coming here for interviews.” The SUNY (internal) candidates for this position hae not been chosen. Initial evaluations have been made and all possible candidates that have surfaced are still under consideration. Brownie said of the applicants, “We think that they are of high quality and it was extremely impressive to us that of all the candidates chosen for interviews, not one refused to come here for an interview The search to replace Dean of the Colleges Irving Spitzberg is going well according to its Chairman Dean of Architecture and Design Harold Cohen. He said, “We have received close to 50 applicants and cut down the field to the lop ten. The ten' have been polled, and we are asking these candidates for three pieces of literature which will best represent them and for six letters of reference." Following the receipt of all this information the Committee will further narrow the field bid invite these candidates to the University for an interview. Cohen is “impressed and pleased with the first ten candidates” and noted that “not one of the candidates is from the University and only one is from the SUNY system.” Law School Dean Thomas Headrick, who is chairing the search for the new Dean of Social Sciences, echoed the feelings of his colleagues when he said, “We are moving pretty well.” The field has been narrowed to ten candidates, half of which are internal to the University. Headrick also commented. “It is hard to say when the process will come to a conclusion, but we are meeting once or twice a week trying to decide The search for the newly created position of an Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA) and Dean of Undergraduate Education (DUE) is at present looking over 70 applicants of which 30 have presented completed applications.

Once this is done candidates will be invited tb campus for interviews. Foster commented that “10-12 of the applicants are internal to the University and that the committee will not make the set deadline of April 17th.” All these positions are crucial to the University and according to Bunn, “Deans are especially responsible of ensuring the quality of the faculty’s instructional and research activities, fostering the development of high quality inter-departmental and inter-faculty graduate and undergraduate programs and advising the Vice President for Academic Affairs in the effective use of resources within the faculty .” Clinical Psych program relies on second budget A Recreation hours at both the Bubble and Clark Pool have been increased, according to officials at the Department of Intramurals. -Beginning Wednesday, April 12, the Bubble will be open 4 to 11 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The prevailing mood at Ridge Lea continues to be one of gloom, according to Levy. “Lots of faculty members won’t be the fall,” he said. “We returning in may be losing a minimum of five and a maximum of 10 professors. Interviewing new professors takes a tremendous amount of energy .’’ The Graduate Psychology Association (GPA) is continuing its efforts to gather support for the Department. The GPA has circulated a wish list to faculty and students, contacted local papers, sent notices to SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton, and the of gathered support psychiatrists of Veterans Hospital. compiled The GPA also statistics of undergraduate enrollment which a steady decline over the last five years, according to GPA member Eric Goplerud. Enrollment dropped from 3100 in the fall of 197S to 2500 last fall. Said Goplerud, “The Department is really demoralized now. Our best shots have been called.” Associate Professor of Psychology Sidney Shrauger, commenting on the mood of the Department, said, “The problem is in the back of everyone’s minds right now. We’re preoccupied with other things such as taking on new students, so the issue is on hold. There is nothing we can do until the supplemental budget comes out.” Said Levy, “If the budget is approved, we will first have to deal with the question of Ridge Lea revitalization and then the question of Parker renovation If the budget falls through, we won’t know what to do.” before the scheduled hearing date to dorm students accused of crimes A subpoena is an order to at a hearing or an appear arraignment. When a student accused of a crime or a witness to the crime does not appear, he must file a written order to show cause The subpoenas are delivered at least a week in advance by the five justices in IRJ. In many cases the students are not present when the subpoenas are issued and repeated attempts to deliver them fail The student being charged therefore may not receive the notice in time for the scheduled hearing. In such cases the hearing is postponed until the accused is contacted Alternative to court court, the concept being “students judging students.” IRJ’s jurisdiction covers most “crimes” committed in the dorms by students. This system eliminates the hassles of city court. Names are not released to the public; IRJ highly respects the students’ privacy. Assistant Director of Student Ronald Dollman said, “IRJ provides the accused with a fair and unbiased trial. It is not a strict legal court, but they hold the basic principles of law and court.” Affairs Positive feedback The effectiveness of IRJ can be judged on two counts. Feedback from students has been positive and an accused student has never returned to be tried for another crime Last year, 95 percent of all students brought to the court pleaded guilty. A typical sentence last year for a student setting off a fire extinguisher the most common crime in the dorms was a warning. This year the student is put on probation. - Suggestions to rectify the under problem currently consideration by the court include mailing the subpoenas to the students who would sign and mail them back to the court. One drawback of this proposal is the impossibility or proving that the students have received the A justice for the subpoenas judiciary said, “This solution would be best if there was a guarantee that the student would get the subpoena.” A suggestion currently being used as an alternative allows the Area Coordinators to distribute the subpoenas. IRJ was designed by this University as an alternative to city — The five justices on the court are appointed by IRC with the assistance of Dollman who trains and orients the justices.

The Spectrum . Page five �EDITORIAL effort/ A cooperative Housing mismatch The North Buffalo Food Co-op is in trouble and no definite immediate solution to its proolems exists. The Corop, the alternative to the institutional plastic packaged Super Duperitis, the fast junk of that malnutrition center, Wilson Farms, and Food Service mush, must move. Relocation must be to another storefront in the immediate neighborhood, within a one or two or three block radius. The Co-op belongs in this neighborhood here where students and local residents shop it regularly, where its natural social and financial base lies. If it were to move, the Co-op's rate of sales would depreciate, as its most captive audience would be removed from the immediate vicinity, and its regular customers would also suffer, being forced to do all local, around-the-corner food shopping at Wilson's Farms. Their teeth would begin to fall out and their brains would surely deteriorate at a faster pace than ever. i v The currently vacant building riext' to the. Marine Midland Bank on Main Street is the optimum storefront into which the Co-op could settle and also the most difficult to deal with financially. So the call for .money has been sounded. But how will it be rafted, who will raise it and \tohichbrganizations should feel most responsible. Informed rumor has it that the Lexington Food Co-op will financially back a loan enabling the North Bufffalo Co-op to buy the vacant building next to the bank. How great the loan will be has not been disclosed, nor have the restrictions upon it. Because so, many students shop it, SA or Sub Board should offer the Co-op some backing, insuring it another loan, if needed; or donating material or resources, or people power. Although opinions on the nature of any relationship between student government and the Co-op no doubt differ widely, contact between officials of both parties should be established quickly. The flow of information, if publicized and utilized correctly, would encourage more students, particularly dormitory residents not on contract, to take their business to the Co-op, and might help SA officials to deal more effectively with Food Service. The contact would, in any case, serve as a link between the University and the surrounding community, and it would be initiated entirely by students. Co-op officials must, for their part, learn to deal on straight terms with a straight business world. One suggestion is to find a business management major interested in and sympathetic to socialist oriented business ventures that is, ones not based on profit making ventures, interested in community service and functioning within a decentralized bureaucracy and hire him or her as business manager. That student could probably receive course credit from the management department for his cooperative activites. The North Buffalo Food Co-op is not an isolated grocery store. lt is a link in a cooperative chain that operates effectively across the country. Support it. Write letters to SA officials. Volunteer time to assist in the move when the time comes. — — * - Well we somehow ended up on the second floor of (no, not Goodyear) Clement, at least, it is on the Well it’s that time of the year again that Housing proper campus!

The last article in this is by collection James Rachels, entitled “Vegetarianism and ‘The Other Weight Problem’.” At this time I am not going to argue that the problem of world hunger is a moral dilemma confronting every individual, even though it is. Nor am I going to argue that we all should be vegetarians, although I do believe we should. Rather 1 simply want to share with all of you an example of Rachels’ regarding the treatment of animals as means to an end, the end being man’s vanity. Most of us use colognes or perfumes and are familiar with Musk oil. But how many of us know where the oil comes from? It comes from Civet cats, who are “trapped and placed in small cages inside darkened sheds, where the temperature is kept up to 1 10 degrees by fires They are confined in this way , until they finally die. What justifies this treatment?” The Civet cat produces Musk oil, Which it scraped from their genitals once a day for as long as they can survive. These cats are put to death, tortured simply for our whims and vanities. There are two points to this example. First, do not buy perfumes or colognes that use Musk. Let your friends and family know how Musk is produced. Talk to your local store owners, explain to them how Musk is produced and ask them to stop buying from companies that use Musk. Secondly, once we become aware of an injustice it becomes immoral to assist in any way the continuance of that practice But we must first become aware. And this too, is a moral responsibility. Read. Ask questions. Talk to each other Through communication and cooperation we can bring about constructive change and qualitative improvement to the lives of all Dwindling To the Editor This is to condemn those who practice martial on one of our most precious natural resources: trees. I’m very sorry one Les Kroll doesn’t have a sense of humor. 1 did not write the article, am not an extremist advocate of The Spectrum, and- certainly would not want to try to mug Mr. Kroll in a dark alley, but it is about time somebody stood up for Enraged animal lovers better our “cellulose heroes realize that without trees, animals would soon be only a memory.

This workshop will help these specialists bring the latest in programs and materials to their patrons.

Marcia Bachman Library Media Specialist Hamburg Senior High School This spring the U S. Supreme Court will render a decision on the Bakke case one of the most important cases in the last 25 years on the question of racial equality. The Bakke decision, which is based on the absurd and racist idea of reverse discrimination is a serious attack on the rights of minorities and women to jobs and education. If the Bakke decision is not overturned by the court, all affirmative action programs will be threatened with elimination. We need every student, faculty member and student organization to join together and march in Washington on Saturday, April 15th to resist this attack on hard-won affirmative action programs.

According to the equal opportunity requirements of Title IX from the Education Amendment of 1972, for every men’s sport there must be an equivalent women’s sport, if an interest is shown. The deadline date for all Title IX compliances is July 1978, which means the to opportunity equalize programs mu,st be accomplished by then. Right now the men have 12 teams: Baseball, Basketball, Frncing, Cross Country, Football, Golf, Hockey, Soccer, Swimming, Tennis, Track and therefore Wrestling. The women have expanded to 7 teams: Field Hockey Softball Basketball, Bowling, Swimming, Tennis, Volleyball This means if women show organization and athletes with a budget for such a team. The men’s teams have been participating in Division 1 for many years. This year the Men’s program has moved from Division 1 to Division HI (excluding Baseball). It seems less money is needed to compete at the Division III level. Division I gives scholarships, Division III does not. The Student Association allocates $33,000 for women and 4 Vi times as much for men’s sports, $148,000. The average amount of money for 12 men’s teams is $12,300 per team while the women’s 7 teams share $33,000 ($4,700 per team), one third of what the men receive. I cannot perceive how new teams can be provided for women when there isn’t enough money for the existing teams Soyka Dobush Separate holiday To the Editor I’m kind of annoyed at what our Springfest has evolved into I was under themisapprehension that our Springfest was to be modeled after Brockport’s Spring-In, which is still being asserted by those planning it. The fact is that Brockport’s Spring-ln is held on a WEEKDAY (school is cancelled), and that is what’s so special about it! 1 don’t think I’d come to the party (especially at Amherst) if it’s held on a weekend. That has no special appeal to me. There’s nothing great about partying on a Saturday; I do that anyway! We should have a separate holiday for our Springfest.

WIRC can Become An Important Part of U.B. With Your Support.” I am writing this letter in total agreement and support of WIRC. I feel that with the help of the students at U.B., WIRC will be able to expand to all three campuses. Why haven’t they been given enough funds? They are more than willing to co-sponsor events in an effort to receive money. On March 22, 1978 I visited the W1RC (station) office in Goodyear Hall. They are lacking a lot of equipment and space.

Larry was arrested on charges of possession on half a pound of pot which was obviously planted in his car by State of Alabama troopers who were out to get him. Larry as the head of a major newspaper The Mobile Express had exposed numerous conspiracies in the troopers’ organization. His study concluded that the troopers resemble storm troopers more than people entrusted to protect society. It is time for the people to speak.

Get Your Own rt a n a SUD • , To the Editor - ' I am writing in regard to Ms. Sunni Kazukiewicz’s April 5th letter about my article on returning students. I realize that the veteran I wrote about was hardly average. I was using an extreme example to make a point. Veterans have done a great service to the country and I do not begrudge them what they receive. The point of my comment was that a veteran who receives a couple hundred dollars per month to go to school is that much better off than a returning student who does not receive this aid, such as yours truly. In fact, a strong motive for enlisting are those same benefits which Ms Kazukiewicz downplays. They have enabled many people to get a college education who could not have received one any other way. While veterans are not necessarily rolling in the dough, they could have it a lot worse. Nancy Spectrum rr\ BOARD - ONE.

UFO appearances last year showed a tendency to form random patterns across the states, however, the most were reported in California and Illinois. stay. UFOs can be described as nocturnal lights seen in the dark sky 57 of this type were reported last year Seventeen daylight discs were seen last year, but are relatively uncommon. UFO’s are sometimes detected by radar and human vision simultaneously, but this occurred only once in 1977 in Alaska and is still under investigation. A close encounter of the first kind are UFO’s seen within 500 feet. I-ast year, a total of five were reported in the U.S., according to International UFO Reporter. Close encounters of the third kind involve humanoid occupants. Last year three cases were reported where humanoid occupants were — seen. Close encounters of the second kind leave behind physical traces. Only one of these was reported last year, but it was a case of high merit On March 8, 1977 in Catchellville, Pennsylvania, eleven witnesses in six separate parties watched a red ball of fire, the size of a full moon, drift over their houses and fall to the ground, leaving a large patch of burnt grass within an unscathed triangular area delineated by three holes at the vertices. The object was Seen to be Public opinion A gallup poll taken in 1973, the year of the biggest wave of UFO sightings, revealed that 54 percent of the American people believed that UFO’s are not merely atmospheric illusions. Peter Sturrock of Stanford University released the results of a survey of the American Astronomical Society members on the subject of UFO's. Fifty-three of the astronomers indicated that they thought that the UFO study, deserves and problem about five percent described UFO sightings that they had personally made One a Buffalo believer, resident, who calls herself a “sky watcher,” Rosemary Giaccmazza, recalled a UFO sighting she had 20 years ago. “It was shaped like a football, and appeared to have feelers,” she explained “At first I thought it was an airplane, but the object had no flashing lights and it was higher in the sky than a plane would be normally. It was going at a very fast rate of speed, then it stopped and changed direction. When I called for my neighbor, it shot out of sight!” When Giacomazza called the Buffalo Municipal Airport to report the sighting, they told her that they would send a plane to investigate. They did not send a plane Misidentification The most common types of UFO’s reported so far this year have been morning lights or spheres in the night sky Action on the part of the authorities is Buffalo rarely, if ever, taken Police Officer Katherine Robinson said that there is no official order that has to be with regulating a procedure should a UFO be “But if a crowd had sighted gathered, causing vehicular jams, we would respond,” she added. Assistant Chief at the Buffalo Tower, Bob Dilla, said that they have received “rash calls” at certain times of the year “We don’t keep a record of these calls; they usually misidentified are stars or planets,” he said. Though Phillip Klass made the prediction months ago that 1978 would see the next great UFO flap because of Stephen Speilberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the movie has had relatively influence on of reports no sightings It did, however, generage a growing public interest Patient rights movement is alive and living in Buffalo by Lori Braunstein Spectrum Staff Writer The Buffalo Community begun Health Advocacy Group - approximately four years health n urses workers, community residents ago by - and is continuing to educate the Buffalo area in patient rights and has put out a new pamphlet entitled "Your Rights as a Patient.’’ This pamphlet, an off-shoot of a 20-page booklet published last year, includes questions patients should ask of their doctor and a patient bill of rights. The patient rights group, now associated with the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), audio-visual gives presentation to local community centers, such as the Unitarian Church and the Young Womens Christian Association (YWCA). The presentation explains each of the bill of rights in the pamphlet and answers questions that anyone might have, stressing that patients should not let themselves be intimidated. “Senior citizens are the most important people to reach because they are the biggest consumers of health group care,” said coordinator Allison Miller. "We are in the process of revising our slide show and would like to reach more groups in the community, especially senior citizens homes.” Medicade patients don’t realize that they are entitled to the same rights that people who are able to pay for health care are entitled to. If they don't want more than one during an doctor present examination, they should say so,” continued Miller. year, Tolstoy College Last offered a course called Organizing for Pat ient Rights which taught university students how to give presentations to the community. The Patients Rights Group has also taught in university health classes. Last spring, the group participated in a panel through medical school on ghost surgeons and medical ethics. the Abused patients ‘There have been many stories of abused patients,” said Miller. She related a story of one woman who came out of the hospital more ill than when she was staff got admitted. “She a infection while in the hospital and none of the doctors or nurses diagnose it,” recalled would Miller. “A medical student finally told the woman that she had a staff infection and that she couldn’t sue the hospital because the fact that she had contracted the infection in ths hospital was not-written on her chart.” Most of those that the Patients Rights Group deals with are It is working class people financially feasible for them to sue hospitals and doctors, “hven it they got free legal services, they would be charged $ 1,000 in court fees,” explained Miller “The best way to stop abuses is by work of mouth spreading around where had treatment has been received. Picketing hospitals is another way to stop abuses; they hate bad publicity,” she added.

The group, called GEPAN, consists of members of most of the major French scientific organizations. It is believed that positive results of this French study will perhaps rekindle other official but skeptics argue that a UFO landing witnessed by thousands would be the only thing that would lead to a full UFO study, UFO enthusiasts insist that public interest has never been higher and that a new effort to solve the UFO mystery could be around the corner. year Towards the end of last year, was to given consideration opening another government UFO inquiry program to the National and Space Aeronautics Administration However. the had enough space agency budgetary problems, and declined the project by telling President Carter’s science advisor, Frank Press, that the exercise would be “wasteful and unproductive becuase of an absence of physical evidence The agency is only willing to test tangible evidence like soil samples and scorched vegetation, or metal specimens. The subject of UFOs made it to the floor of the United Nations (UN) when Sir Eric Gairy. the Prime Minister of Grenada, proposed that the UN forriFi a special committee for the study of UFO’s and psychic phenomena This resolution was withdrawn but if there are further inquiries, the matter will be brought up at the 33rd General Assembly this September. The French government has ” Generic drugs are those which have the same ingredients as brand name counterparts but are usually cheaper. The group also wishes to inform patients about the benefits of Medicade and Hill-Burton funds. Hill-Burton funds were given to hospitals by the Federal government in the 1940’s for After 20 years, construction. these funds were to be paid back in terms of free health care to patients who couldn’t pay their bills. “We would like to get hospitals that are Hill-Burton to post signs that these funds are available to patients,” said Miller. Hospitals in Buffalo that received include: Hill-Burton funds Mercy, Deaconess, Childrens, General, Buffalo and Buffalo Columbus. “Patients eligible for Hill-Burton funds at the hospital are those at the poverty level, possibley some who don’t qualify said a Medicade,” tor spokesperson for Mercy Hospital.

To judge Rorvik’s credibility, a knowledge of his background seems essential. A Lippincott spokesperson has stated that. In His Image is being published as non-fiction on the strength of Mr. Rorvik’s credntials.” Rorvik graduated from of Montana in the 1966 and then received a masters fropi the Columbia University School of Journalism. In the late 1960’s he worked as a medical reporter for Time and then began to do free-lance writing. He has written Brave New Baby, a discussion of the perils of genetic engineering, and co-authored with Landrum University , Shettles Your Babie’s Sex: Now You Can Choose. Other Rorvik works include a 1974 New York Magazine Times article, also with dealing scientific manipulation of reproduction Astonishing development Rorvik’s motivation to present such dubious material seems summarized in this excerpt from the afterward to the 205-page text. “1 entertain absolutely no expectation that anyone, scientist or layman, will accept this book as proof of the events described many readers will be persuaded of even the possibility, the 1 have probability, of what described and will benefit by this astonishing of preview an development whose time, at least in terms of some of the emotional and ethical issues it raises, has apparently not quite yet come echoes this Lippincott sentiment in a note at the beginning of the book: “The account that follows is an astonishing one The author assures us it is true. We do not know. We believe simply that he has written a book which will stimulate interest and debate on issues of the utmost significance for our immediate future.” It seems that already such an interest has Three begun. biologists and a public interest group, the Peoples Business Commission, have filed a suit asking a federal court to expedite a Freedom of Information Act request. The request is that the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the C.I.A. and the Departments of Agriculture and Defense release information about grants involving cloning, test-tube fertilization of human eggs, genetic screening and recombinant DNA technology. ” ‘An unprecedented furor’ Science concluded that In His Image was published as a sort of political statement by Rorvik. This belief appears supported by a recent released statement through herein. “I am fully cognizant and fully respectful of the methods by which scientific data must be conveyed. I hope, however, that Wfaw! Montezuma Snowblast with Fresca: Even a moose can bear it from Pacific Rorvik News 3 In answer to the scientificskepticism surrounding his book's authenticity, Rorvik provides a not to the point set of arguments which center more upon genetic engineering than human cloning Service He characterizes the reaction of the scientific community as, “an and furor,’’ unprecendented are, claims some researchers “intent on making the -public believe that this (cloning) cannot for or even happen years decades.” He criticizes scientists for minimizing the potential impact of their recent research, and claims that they, "are of the the public is not opinion that smart enough to be fully informed of what is transpiring or to participate in the life and death decisions that are already daily being made in laboratories around the world His statement ends with his applauding the Freedom of Information Act lawsuit mentioned above Whether Rorvik’s motivation was scientific or reporting whetting the public’s appetite for scientific revelation, it also seems clear that all this publicity could result in high sales revenue In Ihs Image is a Literary Guild selection and paperback rights have been estimated to go for at least a of a million dollars quarter Lippincott also promises a $50,000 ad budget and a national TV tour for Rorvik Whatever the methods and motivations, money is the one sure result of having everyone talking about something by June ” Pot finds its place among legal drugs New Mexico recently became the first state to legalize marijuana for therapeutic use. In late February the state house and senate overwhelmingly passed the Controlled Substances Therapeutic Research Act. The bill establishes a state review board to certify patients who wish to use marijuana “to alleviate the nausea and ill effects of cancer chemotherapy . and the ill effects ot glaucoma.” Those certified can receive pot seized as contraband by the State Police, reports the current Rolling Stone. In addition to aiding chemotherapy and glaucoma patients, there is evidence that pot may assist in the treatment of asthma, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, rheumatism and depression. The New Mexico law stipulates that such “other disease groups” may be eligible for research pot from the government if physicians request it Following New Mexico’s lead, other states are beginning to open up possibilities for research into the therapeutic effects of marijuana. In Hawaii, state senator Anson Chong has Introduced legislation which would legalize the use of pot by patients suf fering from asthma, glaucoma and the side effects of chemotherapy The Hawaiian bill would clear the way for use of homegrown marijuana, and is still in committee. Meanwhile, in California, a Superior Court Judge in Imperial County caused a furor recently when he issued an order on January ~3rd icquiring the sheriff to supply a 21-year-old chemotherapy patient with “as much marijuana as he wanted" after the patient refused further treatments due to the side effects. It seems absurd to me that anyone could fault this type of thing,” said Judge Don Work. “Everyone knows someone who has cancer nowadays, and marijuana is clearly beneficial. I intend to assist in the passage of legislation in California similar to that which Lynn Pierson sponsored.” Lynn Pierson is the individual most directly responsible for the passage of the New Mexico law. In 1975, he was told he had two months to live and began chemotherapy treatments. Becoming violently ill, he found marijuana alleviated his symptoms. Soon his cancer went into remission, and Pierson successfully lobbied the state legislature to change the laws.

But, the Amazin’s once great pitching is now slightly below average. The bullpen is Skip Lockwood and a Assistant Sports Editor Five teams will battle for the top spot in the National League East while two teams square off for the Western pennant as the senior circuit begins its 103rd season. Nine of the twelve teams have made major personnel changes since last season. The East; The stand-pat Phillies are a solid threat to again win 100 games. The Phils have it all power, speed, defense, a deep bullpen and a fine bench. Only if the starting pitching falters can the Phillies be caught. The Cardinals’ young pitching staff must live up to its potential for the Cards to make a serious bid. Righty John Denny and lefty Pete Falcone are the key men. Newly acquired Jerry Morales will help balance the offense. The Cards also have an excellent young infield and a good bullpen. Al Hrabosky won’t be missed. The defection of relievers Rich I Gossage and Terry Forster will weaken Pittsburgh tremendously. The Bucs added Bert Blyleven to their starting crew to relieve the load on the bullpen, and they hope their hitting and speed can offset their weak defense and bullpen. Veterans Kent Tekulve and Grant Jackson will try to supply the relief, along with free agent Jim Bibby. - Sky King Dave Kingman will be chasing Hack Wilson and Roger Maris this season and his mighty bat could carry the Cubs 9 long way. Chicago’s starting pitching looks thin though, and ace reliever Bruce again. New Sutter will have {o be very good catcher Dave Rader can hit, but his weak arm could cause problems. Montreal really bolstered its starting four with the addition of lefties Ross Grimsley and Rudy May. The Expos are a very young team with lots of talent but third base remains a problem with Larry Parrish stationed there, and the bullpen is atrocious now that Don Stanhouse is gone (in the May deal). The Mets will be splendidly mediocre in 1978, a vast improvement over last year when they were pathetic. Only two starters John Stearns and Lee Mazzilli remain from opening day 1977. Their - — — prayer. At least the Mets will be more exciting than they have been the past few years. The West; After a one year hiatus, the Reds are poised to return to post season play. Sparky Anderson’s once awful pitching staff now includes Tom Seaver, Bill Bonham, Paul Moskau and Dave Tomlin. The Reds eight man lineup is among baseball’s best. No blow out The defending champion Dodgers won’t blow the Reds out early this year. The men in blue have excellent starting pitching but Terry Forster is not the A answer to their inconsistent bullpen comeback by Rick Monday could provide a lift. However, nine Dodgers had their finest seasons in 1977 and if they fall off, the Dodgers will be in trouble. The Astros have the best team in their history but the competition in th$ West is too tough. Houston has the finest young pitching staff in baseball. The Astros also have a world of speed.

Vida Blue joins a pitching staff that could be very good if John Montefusco has a good year. The Padres too, have infield problems. Theirs is one of the worst in the majors; the four starters have little or no major league experience at their respective positions. The pitching staff is led by two unknown quantities: aging Gaylord Perry and sore armed Randy Jones. Atlanta isn’t rebuilding; they’re building from nothing. The pitching and defense are pitiful Bright spots are outfielders Jeff Burroughs and Barry Bonnell, catcher-first baseman Dale Murphy, catcher Biff Pocoroba and ageless knuckleballer Phil Niekro.

Carter in SA has ruled an out across-the-board budget cut for all organizations. Wawrzonek cited that solution as unfair and impractical. “How do you cut salaried personnel especially when they are already only making the minimum wage?” he asked. Among problems facing SA officials is the moral question of reducing money to organizations that already have been promised funding; cutting money from organizations that already only have very little to last them through next September; the inability to withhold monies that SA has legally committed to. organizations. Covering debts As an example of SA’s inability to cut money indescriminately, Wawrzonek cited the Officer and which budget $107,000.

(355 SQUIRE HALL) 831-54B5 �Cater’s urban aid plan to remedy cities Teller’s forced resignation veiled by ‘re-assignment’ by Bobbie Demme and Joel DiMardo After more than a year of promises and planning, the Carter Administration has presented its new urban aid plan for public inspection. The keynote of the plan is partnership; the plan proposes that state, federal, local and private entities pool their efforts to aid in the recovery of all cities. It also places no specific blame for the present plight of the cities but merely states that their problems exist and that steps must be taken to remedy them. The proposed program would start with a $700 million price tag for this year and spend anbther $6.8 million between now and 1983. Most of this money would be used to expand already existing urban aid programs, along with allowances for the development of new ideas to help the cities. A variety of programs are proposed that are designed to increase the number of groups involved in city rehabilitation. To stimulate .the private sector, for instance, the program seeks to establish a National Development Bank that could guarantee up to $11 million in development loans to building and loan associations in economically depressed urban and rural areas. Such a bank would be “semi-autonomous,” being allowed to invest its funds in those areas it considers to be the best risk as well as most financially in need of new housing and commercial construction. In addition, Carter plans to ask Congress to give an additional $175 million each to the Commerce Department’s Economic Development Administration and the Urban Development Action Grant program of the Housing and Urban Develppment Administration. Business is to be further stimulated by an increase of five percent the investment tax credit This credit would allow businesses to in deduct 15 percent of their investment tax if they invest in economically depressed areas. The key role of the federal government in Carter’s proposal would be one of non-interference. All federal agencies would be required to submit an economic impact statement before beginning any new programs. Such a statement would be used to determine if a proposed program would economically injure already depressed areas. To further help the cities, Carter proposes providing $1 billion to restore and maintain those city facilities most often afflicted by age: fire departments, city halls and park maintenance systems. Fifty percent of those people employed in such rehabilitation projects must come from the so-called “hard-core” unemployed. States would receive at least $200 million in funds by suggesting innovative ways to help their cities and providing reasonable evidence that those plans are workable. Other aspects of the plan include creating new loopholes in the Air Quality Act allowing industries to, in effect, break the law if their air pollution rates do not worsen in the course of a year. Employing at least two percent of the immediate local working population also constitutes a loophole in the pollution control act. Offices used for federal business would be forced to move to urban centers where they would be most accessible to the people who use them most often. Welfare offices .would be relocated from the suburbs to the inner city, though many people working in such offices are suburban residents. The city of Buffalo stands to gain a great deal from the program. Plans for its new rapid transit system and enclosed downtown mall may well serve as huge sponges sopping up federal monies for Buffalo because of a clause in Carter’s proposal allocating $200 million per year for mass transit capital grants. These grants would be used to build new transit facilities and pedestrian transit malls and support joint public and private development around transit stations through site and utility preparation. Another feature of the policy that could conceivably pump more funds into this area is the emphasis on help for the problems of older, declining areas such as Buffalo’s central city. Rehabilitation efforts that have seen the rescue of the Prudential building from demolition and the complete resotration of Shea’s Buffalo into a functional landmark may be continued effectively under this program. In a Courier Express report, Buffalo Commissioner of Community Development William Donahue agreed, saying, “This city needs a big shot of that public works money to renew the inner city.” Unfortunately, the key point of the program: cooperation, may not work here. The history of cooperation between business, city and state officials and federal governments is spotty and tenuous at best. Already the city is using most of its federal CETA money simply to maintain basic operations. 32.8 percent of all Buffalo city workers are in fact CFTA employees. Few offices exist that are designed solely to promote open lines of communication between businesses. In fact, most of the area’s biggest employers don’t even live in Buffalo, making such an office out of the Recent disclosures about the forced resignation of Vice President for Facilities Planning John Telfer reveal the University’s official version of thl event to be deliberately misleading.

National Parks and the supporting industries surrounding them will probably be the best potential again this year. Many new recreation facilities have started this past year in areas close to National Parks.

A home-rule message is required for any change in the city government’s structure such as is proposed by the Griffm-Whelan plan. The proposal must be presented to the Common Council and ratified by at least eight councilmen and the mayor. If the mayor does not ratify the proposal, at least ten councilmen must approve it. Marcy estimated that only “three at the most” would vote for such a home-rule message. Arthur concurred with the estimate but said that a compromise proposal calling for the state to appoint a fiscal overseer to monitor the school board’s spending could win Council Approval with little difficulty. The school board has expressed some support for the plan, but Whelan remains opposed to any but his own proposal. To support his arguments, Whelan released a letter written by Perry Hall, Vice President of Morgan Guaranty Trust Co., the city’s financial advisor. by Joel DiMarco Staff Reporter Spectrum State Assemblyman William B. Hoyt announced last week that Buffalo public schools are expected to receive an increase of $10,245 million from the state for the upcoming fiscal year. Such an increase could entirely erase the $8 million budget deficit incurred by the Board of Education this year, and still leave enough money to fund improvements in the school system’s desegregation plan begun this year. Hoyt announced the figures after a lengthy bargaining session last Wednesday that saw state legislators trying to work out a compromise state-aid-to-education formula. Formula Aid has been a major stumbling block in the Legislature’s efforts to come to a consensus in their annual budget review. Final legislative approval is still pending, but a source in Albany said; “It’s a good compromise, a sure thing to pass the Assembly and very likely to get through the Senate since this is a [gubernatorial] election year.” The compromise would give the schools a $4.1 million increase in basic Formula Aid; a Quality Incentive Aid increase of $3 million; a Pupil Transportation Aid increase of $2.42 million and smaller aid increases in such areas as Textbook Aid, Special Aid’s for the Severely Disabled and the Learning Disabled totaling $475 thousand. Hoyt said that the figures are based on “highly reliable estimates,” rather than precise amounts. Pulling purse-strings This Legislative commitment would come as welcome relief to the Buffalo School Board which has been locked in conflict with Mayor James Griffin and Comptroller Robert Whelan, who have proposed to make the Board subject to fiscal restriction by Whelan. The Mayor had gained the upper hand in the fight when he went to Albany before Easter and worked out a deal with Governor Hugh Carey in which the state would advance $5.3 million in school transportation aid, provided constraints were placed on future school board spending. “The Governor emphasized his determination to see that nothing jeopardizes the right of Buffalo school children to receive their full academic year of instruction,” said a Carey spokesman. Hoyt, a former teacher, has repeatedly expressed support for the Board saying, “The person who controls the Board of Education purse-strings, controls education policy making.” Both he and the Board were pleased by the Governor’s commitment, but feared that Ggffin had used the trip to drum up support for his plan. “If the Griffin-Whelan plan is passed,” declared School Board President Florence Baugh, “I and most of the other members of the Board will resign.” Home-rule However, the Common Council’s Democratic Majority Leader George Arthur and the Council’s lone Republican William Marcy Jr. said, “There is no way that the Griffin-Whelan proposal can get BLUEBIRD BLUES; The University is facing another shortage of money in it's 'Bird budget. Bus service budget is expected to run short The University bus service budget is expected to run $200,000 250,000 short of the amount necessary to operate for the fiscal year 1978-79, according to Vice President for Finance and Management Fydward Doty. The State Division of the Budget (DOB) has allocated about $600,000 while the University projects that its operating expenses for bus service this year will be approximately $800,000, an increase of about 30 percent over last year’s expenditure. A Supplemental Budget request of $280,000 has been made by this University, but whether the request will be approved will not be known — Fiscal irresponsibility In his letter, Hall maintained that Buffalo’s three year “policy of fiscal discipline” has been marred solely by the “financial irresponsibility” of the school board. He further claimed that any slate overseer plan “is apt to be perceived by the credit markets as an indication of the inability of the city to manage its own financial affairs.” Continuation of the board’s “irresponsibility” could only hurt the city’s ability to sell municipal bonds, the letter concluded. Whelan also claims support for his plan from State Senate Majority Leader Warren Anderson and Assembly Speaker Stanley Steingut. The comptroller contends that the board had committed malfeasance, a criminal act, when it passed a budget for this year that spent $8 million more than the Council had allocated the school system. until May 1 at the earliest. This is the second consecutive year that the bus service budget will suffer from a shortage. Last year a shortage of $200,000 for the bus service budget forced the University to allocate money from its “internal funds.” According to Doty, the University will probably have to do the same thing again this year. He also predicted that Buffalo would encounter more difficulty this year in meeting the shortage than it did last year. “We use funds allocated for other purposes and never spent,” Doty said. “I think a lot of things will have to give a little in order to meet the shortage.” Doty predicted that this growing pattern of budget shortages will continue as long as attempts to balance the State budget require the king of “item by item” cutting that has been taking place in Albany. Doty and other Administration officials are quick to emphasize that “top priority” is being given to the busing service and add that problems of financing will not be allowed to alter the present bus service. “Acting Director of Campus Busing Roger McGill said that the University Administration has assured him that the necessary funds will be found and supplied to him in any event. “The Administration,” he said, “realizes the absolute necessity of maintaining the bus service at its present leveL” McGill denied that any curtailment of service has occurred or is being contemplated. “In fact,” he said, “the Administration urged me to make an increase in the number of buses running last fall in order to meet the needs of the students more fully.” The projected $800,000 figure includes the costs for weekend and evening buses this summer. The increasing costs of University’s contract with the Blue Bird Bus Company is one reason for the increase in the bus service budget. Nevertheless, Doty foresees no change in companies for next year. Blue Bird was awarded the contract in a publicly-opened sealed bid because its bid was the lowest. Under the three-year binding agreement with Blue Bird, the cost of a transit bus will go from $17.90 per hour to $21.25 per hour in 1979. At the same time, the cost of a yellow school bus will increase from $15.95 to $ 18.90 per hour in 1979. McGill also said there would be no cutback in service to Ridge Lea on weekends. Presently two buses run on the weekends between the Main Street and Amherst Campuses with stops at the Ridge- Lea Campus and the Boulevard Mall. Thomas RosamHia No interference Baugh denied this charge arguing, “If we had stayed within the Council budget, we would have violated Judge Curtin’s desegregation order which clearly states that the quality of education may not be impaired by desegregation. We developed the best plan we could at the lowest possible cost, as was our responsibility to the city and to the children,” she explained. Judge John Curtin of the Federal Circuit Court had ordered the school desegregation in 1976 and has supervised it ever since. This past Wednesday, Judge Curtin ordered all those involved in the desegregation controversy to appear before the court for a re-evaluation of the city’s desegregation plan. The outcome is not yet known but it is known that Curtin will not tolerate any interference by Whelan or Griffin if the plan is found to be progressing satisfactorily. < Anti-Bakke group prepares to converge on capital The National Committee to Overturn the Bakke Decision (NCOBD) and its local affiliates across the country are organizing a protest march on April -15 in Washington to— oppose the Californjrflftljreme Court’s ruling upholding Allan Bakke’s charge of temsd d&qqmination against the University of California at Davis which arp usually commiUees in blew 'filled by minorities.

For soma, the process is simple it ends where it begins. A big ( — comfortable house close to campus and close to food and laundromats and even close to a tree or two is passed on from one friend to the next. The students are content because the arrangement took no time and no knocking on strange doors and no stumbling through unfamiliar bedrooms and no transporting dilapidated refrigerators and no saying, "oh no, we're never going to find a house without holes in the ceiling and massive oil slicks on the floors." Well, while some students avoid these common hassles and live happily ever after, others move into shacks with motel walls, sagging dog-chewed furniture, leaky faucets, no storm windows, and complete strangers lurking about. Students live in such conditions because they search in vain for weeks for a house or apartment and at the last second are forced to move into exactly what they don't want. Unhappy, frustrated living situations have very negative effects on academics and social affairs. There are few worse feelings than not wanting to return to one's home after a hard night in the library, at the movies, in the laundromat, at the bar or in heaven. Well, NYPIRG has published a pamphlet detailing trouble spots for those students who, once they think they have found a house, run ipto the finer points of dealing with an aggressive landlord, a complicated lease, and damage and security claims. The pamphlet is not the answer to anything, but could go a long way in aiding students to make the right decisions (whatever they might be). Pick one up in 311 Squire. In addition, the Off-Campus Housing Office, also on the third floor of Squire, has a of houses available and of roommates wanted and the like. The lists are reportedly not always up to date, but those looking for houses should make the office their first stop. Just across the hall is Group Legal Services which has long helped students with dubious leases and slumlord landlords. And, of course, just down the hall is The Spectrum, in which the classified ad section should be filled with roommates-wanted notices and hopefully some good houses available.''

In most cases, however, the damages as a result of the careless errors or thoughtless mistakes.of the parties involved have been minor enough and in almost all cases reversible. As an applicant for law school for the Fall of 1978, there are certain procedures in the application process that require participation from the University. One of these is the transcript service. It was required that I have the school mail one copy of my transcript to the Educational Testing Service in Princeton, New Jersey where that transcript was to be evaluated and forwarded to the law schools to which I have applied. I followed all the required procedures and met all the projected deadlines and there was nothing more for me to do than to bring in my transcript request form to Admissions and Records. This was done so I was therefore curious when 1 began to receive post cards from the schools stating that they had not yet received my transcripts from Princeton. I have just received a postcard from Demoralized management the H.T.S. stating that the transcript they received from UB was for another student who in fact was not even sending a transcript to F..T.S. The card went on to explain that this would cause a delay in processing my reports. Simple calculations indicate that the error will result in a three-week delay in transcripts being received by the schools to which I have applied. This means that at least a few of my schools I cannot be considered in the first pool of applicants, may not be considered in the second pool, and it is quite possible that at several schools, I will not be considered at all. It is also important to note that the student whose transcript was sent to K.T.S. will be hurt be this as well ap it means that his transcript was not sent where it should have been. I do not intend to let this pass lightly. My only consolation in this affair (beyond an apology from an Admissions and Records secretary) lies in the fact that after four years of attending a college where incompetence thrives as if it were a virtue and thoughtlessness seems to indicate the status quo, again my only consolation is that I will e leaving an absolute madhouse af impersonal service and shabbily-run departments.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank the five hundred (500) or so people who attended the party in Porter Cafeteria on March 18th, sponsored by Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity. The success of the event can be attributed to two things: first, the function was well attended, and second, the people attending were interested in having a good time rather than brawling. With the help of a Food Service employee, the Brothers of TKE left the room, after the seven hours and 13 kegs of festivities, in better condition than it had been earlier that evenings. The outcome of this event, and hopes of similar results for events in the future should serve to convince the independent student the social value of the fraternity system.

None of the students working there could give me a reason for this, so after much questioning of them as to “who’s in charge here?” 1 finally called the chairman of the Athletic Department, who told me in a rather vindictive manner (I thought) that “students” had been vandalizing the Universal machines by stealing the keys, and to combat this, he was closing the weight room to all but the students taking classes during the day My comment that I had my own key as do most regular users of the weight room did not impress him.

It was a delightful way to come back off a vacation. Especially enjoyable were the editorials on Campus Police and their arms and legs, and your squirrel recipe. It was delicious! However, we respectfully request equal time for another one of our favorite little friends. Yes, we mean PIGEONS! A nice little recipe for Pigeon Fricassee or Pigeon Wings would be only fair to us pigeon lovers, as well as being quite delectable for all. Another tantalizing little recipe for all of our UB gourmets, is a slight modification on an old established recipe. Pigeons are an excellent substitute for the “four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.” You may need a little extra crust, however, due to the larger size of your average pigeon.

I, too, am a lover of animals (not physically), however I have a sense of humor. If you are not ficticious (which 1 sincerely doubt), then your hands can’t possibly be harder than your own head. It is irrelevant whether or not you found the article in bad taste (since that was not the only thing you said in your letter), because bad taste is not a capital offense.

I assure you that I would not try to kill you just because I think you have head-butted too many trees. U.R. Afoole Veterans well off? To the Editor Once again, veterans suffer the brunt of media publicity. A one-line statement, appearing on page 4 of the March 20th edition of The Spectrum in an article entitled, “Problems Faced by Returning Students,” doesn’t ring true. .Nonetheless we received a bold print heading. I thought college students were intelligent and aware, however, when it comes to reporting, the only thing that matters is the “spectacular.” Those same generalizations of the media have proclaimed veterans degenerates and psychotics. For the sake of anyone interested, that is not the case. Similarly, the stated claim that veterans who decide to go to school are well off is way P.S. To avoid “flying off the handle” again, I suggest that you sit on it. not necessarily only those that are returning. For most veterans, this is their first university experience. I won’t go through all the requirements necessary for receiving veterans benefits, it would require more room in The Spectrum than would be possible. But, basically, the xVeferans Administration is only slightly more efficient than TAP and BFIDC. For every conceivable university requirement there is a separate and distinct VA requirement. Some of those requirements arec standards of progress, mandatory reporting of attendance, what constitutes If a veteran receives an I, X full-time enrollment or R grade, he/she must repay any allowance paid on the basis of that course.-But the biggest handicap is that there is a 4 to 6 week processing period when a veteran has no income and isn’t sure even what his/her entitlement will be. These are just some of the things that keep a large number of veterans from even considering attending college. If we “have it the ... off-base. In the first place, for a single veteran to receive $700 a month, non-taxable, he/she would have to obtain a part-time job earning $100 a week which best,” as the article claims, then the educational the employer would not have to report to the IRS. I system must be just about dead. What are J!3,000 of seriously doubt if any employer would do that. That would eliminate our representative sample from you students doing here?? Some other questions should have been being single and/or in the employ of a fool. Therefore, we must look for a job that pays confronted in the article. They are: 1. Why does it take a sophisticated computer non-taxable money. Work-study is the only one I’m aware of. That implies a maximum of $147.00 a weeks to assign available seats in classes? Why are courses scheduled at the 2. month (55.5 hours of work a month, Monday through Friday during school hours). On top of that convenience'of the faculty? 3. Why do courses contain more material and we must come up with a veteran who is married, has six children and is going to school full time; this techniques than a wiz can digest, to say nothing of a would be the only person eligible to receive the total absence of reason and cause? This is education? 4. Why do student groups alienate each other additional $553.00 necessary to reach that $700 those meeting through generalizations and accusations (such as has any aware veterans not of level.

Slate, President There are many serious problems faced by students, U.B. Veterans Association / . . , . Ethnic slurs To the Editor I am writing to express my outrage at the sexist and anti-semitic article about the Jewish American Princess (JAP) riot which was published in the April Fool edition of The Spectrum. The article revolves around a charicature of Jewish women students as vain, self-centered, materialistic and dependent upon wealthy jeweler fathers in Long island mansions. Ethnic slurs about other groups are thrown in for good, measure police officer Thickowski, for example, and McMary McMerntney with a shirt from Two Guys and a bowling average of 179. Humor based upon negative sterotyping of minority groups, including women, is not only in bad taste, it is destructive. It perpetuates and spreads misconceptions that have caused enormous suffering to members of minorities in the past and continue to hurt them today. Whether the authors of the article in question are Jewish or non-Jewish, female or male is not important here; self hate can be as destructive as any other kind of hate. Nor does the April Fool context of the article excuse its content. Surely there are other, legitimate subjects for humor and — satire at this University. The article about rioting Jewish American Princesses was not funny. It was an insult to the Jewish women on this campus and to the entire University Community. , Maxine S Seller Associate Professor of Social Foundations Friday, 7 April 1978 The Spectrum .

With due respect to all those involved, new AM playlists should reign before the weekend. After all This Is the Modem World ... Working class hero In pursuit of new music the During this past vacation, the trends in the ordinary day-to-day marketing of rock and roll records seems to have been noticeably different. Department stores such as Korvette's in New York (who advertise as having the world's largest record department) have begun to carry substantial New Wave selections. While none of the major commercial chain operations (such as Sam Goody's or Cavages) are carrying import singles yet, they are stocking most American album releases (that is, those on an American label). Everything from the Ramones to the Sex Pistols to Blondie and countless others are available and visible to the ordinary music buyer. Elvis Costello has q screaming sell out in Buffalo, and the Jam packs in countless fans at the old Anderson theatre, the Yiddish Theatre of the twenties, on Second Avenue and Fourth Street. It is now CBGB's Theatre, the second child of Hilly Krystal, the first being a little underground club of the same initials located on the Bowery. During this vacation, some of the year's best releases became available in the same quantity as the year's most commercial.

Buffalo has gained a reputation as a haven for New Wave artists and that is something to be proud of. Elvis Costello, who couldn't get a reaction up in Brockport or Albany, returns to Buffalo on April 25, accompanied by Lowe and Mink DeVille (whose Capitol album Cabretta was one of last year's best). There is a tremendous amount happening musically that needs recognition. Keep all eyes and ears trained on word of these artists. The music is damned good and loaded with an almost disproportinate amount of talent and life. We will do our job with the maximum effort, and hope that as an audience, you do yours. guitar in a very aggressive manner, filling in gaps that usually require a second guitarist. Behind the drum kit is Rick Buckler playing with his best foot forward. He appears relaxed but it's his footwork that gives the needed framework. The Jam scored big in Britain last summer with the release of their first Ip, In The City. Those unaware of this album should immediately give it a listen. The urgency and power of the Jam's music will then be -easy to grasp. Polydor had the Jam's over from Europe last December for two nights at the hallowed CBGB's. They came and saw, but the Jam didn't conquer New York. They were a little greener and the entire rock scene tended to give them less exposure because, after all, compared to the nasty things that the Pistols were doing, the Jam weren't that outrageous. Due to the lack of exposure they went back to England, knowing that they had another kilter album up Producer Chriss Parry's sleeve, ready to take both Britain and America no matter if the countries were ready. The album. This Is The Modern World, says it all, The Jam are one of the few surviving members of the first gush of new wave rock that has produced a second album on par or better than their first.

Luckily they didn't play it cause true Velvet Fans would have thrown anything, even the cups from the watery dollar beer. The Darts were, however, entertaining owing to the fact that their songs do have hooks no matter how demented the lyrics are that surround them. You just can't help singing "Nuclear Waste" after one listen. But then again how many more times do you need to hear it? On stage appears a man looking like a navvy on a Manchester building site. He is John Weller, Paul's father and manager of the group. I guess he wants to keep it in the family or keep his boy out of the hands of the many London slags looking for a quick act they can milk for whatever it's worth. He must feel proud seeing his boy and his two schoolmates get on a New York stage and announce 'This is the Modern World". This British rock bluet ok Messrs Weller and Foxton kept the music pumping continuously. The majority of tracks from their two records were played including "News of the World," their latest' hit in England. The Jam are steeped in Motown influence but they didn't treat us to any Holland Dozier Holland material. This night instead it was purely Rock and roll, and as British as a pint of John Courage. The band jumped around on stage inciting their audience to have as much fun as they were. A reason behind the Jam's ability to achieve sucfcess as a trio is the quality of Bruce Foxton's bass playing. He touches all corners, enabling Paal Weller to go full force into his rhythm guitar work. Worid", Around the "All "London Girls", and "Sounds From the Street" gathered tumultuous applause. The crowd goes berserk and Weller is doused with a beer; being a true rocker he licks his lips and keeps playing. And the hits just kept on coming; including ■» high speed version of the Cropper-Pickett standard "In the Midnight Hour" from the Modem World album. New York was ready for the Jam this time around. They were called back for a total of four encores. The bizzare puzzle of or intention abstention confronted me as the Jam played 'This is the Modem World" again as their final number. I don't know whether they wanted to give it another go or wanted that track in particular to remain in the vestiges of our modern minds. They succeeded. If this group can remain together and mature along with their musical outlook then we should something expect of major importance from this band.

As part of the Quintet, the Breaker Brothers were bringing their horns to the Fillmore Room, and their name alone was very attractive. 1 found out from a general consesus of friends that 1 was not alone in wondering who Hal Galper was.

They came from all EARTH over to see their golden boy, John resplendent Denver, in his glittering garb, smiling from neck to neck and belting out those oh so familiar tunes. They were all there: the young, the old, the very young, the very old, the middle agers proving that they too can be with it, and even a hippie type or two. But this crowd is different, drastically different from the audiences we're all used to. Quiet, reserved, attentive. And that my friends, is what makes a John Denver concert, even before he walks dp stage, so different from th6 rest. Not necessarily better, mind you, but different. There was the 70 year old couple in formal attire to the right, the ten year old kids with Mom and Dad on the left, and a basically conserative group that Sunday night which thanked you very much, with help of the Aud announcer, not to smoke a common herb so popular with the youth of today. — Buffalo and Toledo So the boy they were all waiting for walked on stage, in the Druthers." The set was well received by audience which greeted its hero and his works with polite and heartfelt applause. And then Johnny gave us his itinery for the current tqur (53 concerts, 47 cities, in 60 days) and told us how good it was to be back in this "lovely city." The sarcastic comment was not lost on the locals and John hypothesized that the city is probably much prettier in the summertime. The man does have a sense of humor, exemplified by 'Toledo, Ohio" a cute tune which bemoans the misfortune of spending a week in that mid-western town one day.

Backed by a fine bass player using no bow, and teamed with two of the finest brassmen the quintet sounded around, exceptional, even in the Fillmore Room. I would say, however, that the Brecker Brothers did steal the show. Almost every one of the eight or so numbers contained a solo by both Michael and Randy Brecker. An exceptional piece entitled "I'll Never Stop Loving You" featured an amazing tenor saxophone and piano duet teaming Michael Brecker with Galper. Brecker played a part of that number without accompaniment, And the sound —Weinstein was exquisite.

Music Ripoff The music JNDER TED awards were, as expected, a farce. It was certainly less than a religious experience when Debbie Boome sweetly throbbed "You Light Up My Life". And Star Wars never should have won "Best Soundtrack". Saturday Night Fever was not even nominated for either award. The Bee Gees have meshed some of the most meaningful disco music with a popular and critically acclaimed film. And the millions who have swayed to their tunes undoubtedly have lost faith in the Oscars' credibility. As usual, the most exciting part of the evening was political. In her acceptance speech for "Best Supporting Actress" in Julia, Vanessa Redgrave thanked the Academy for supporting her crusade against the "Zionist hoodlums who are giving Jews the world over a bad name." Redgrave participated in the making of a documentary last year on the Palestine Liberation Organization the (PLO). Outside theatre picketed the Jewish Defense League protesting (JDL), Redgrave's PLO sympathies. When the police arrived to calm the disturbance among the JDL, some Nazi party members and PLO supporters were injured. Free speech Later in the show, an award winner and a presenter voiced their feelings on the issue. One for, One against. Should personal political beliefs be voiced at such an event? Considering the circumstances surrounding the evening, I think yeh. Before the awards, most critics thought that Redgiave should win. Yet in the same breath they discounted her citing chances, her political affiliations as severely damaging. For Redgrave, the award meant a political victory as well. Acting is perhaps the most expressive and diverse art form. Personal philosophies are utterly intertwined with role interpretations. It would seem, by their reaction, that many Hollywood "personalities" would like to spend their lives at pool parties and signing autographs. Redgrave's open expression of her beliefs is indeed refreshing. Hopefully, this might mark the beginning of a trend for popular films to involve themselves more with political as well as artistic controversies. Can Hollywood handle the responsibility? Jane Fonda could! The Oscars also accomplished something Hollywood Using its chief competitor, television, Hollywood has obtained free publicity.

At one point the landscape we face while travelling the QEW to Toronto yields a stunning sight. We witness the sun setting at a- rapid pace behind a lone hill covered with many trees. The mountain seemed to embrace the sun, earth and light afire with the glow of intuitive bright reaches. The powers of Creation gather for convergence. Lord Of The Saturnian Rings I've heard and heard of Le Sun Ra for Quite some time now (Seems tike only yesterday). Seemed(7) like everybody dismissed Ra and his Arkestra either 1) as “Captain Video" types who produced some of the "strangest" sounds in years, or (more blatantly)” 2) as fanatics. Research* will turn up equally unimaginative descriptions. To save time, however, there are two ways to find out for yourself. Hear Ra's Music. His first album has been re-issued on Delmark Records under the title Sun Song while his newest offerings continue to show the rippling strength of Ra's artistry. The newest on his own Saturn Records, Disco 3000 is a chime-toned street samba (new age steel drums?) strutting across all the finer rogds. When discos do music like this, it just may be the year 3000! (Now for $5 from Saturn Research, P.0. Box 7126, Chicago, III. 60607) Ra's Solo Piano LP on Improvising Artists probes the center of the manspirit and his oratory on the acoustic piano, which is cutting, caressing, and sassingly grand. The Cosmos UP on Inner City shows Ra at the helm of his Arkestra, a group of individual who maestros collectively gather as One. Music in all Life's nuances, where a simple song can grow into a mighty shout, sigh in reflection, cry in desperation, or smite in penetrating realization. Telling it is only one part; knowing and (upon/ this) doing is the beginning. See the sounds society brings to the day there is no separation. Music is everywhere (This, is the incidentally, way). encompassing second Cosmos spans the many realms of Ra, from Fletcher Henderson's galloping romp to the unseen k velvet of unknown swing. No record not even Ra's own Saturn label... possesses the sheer impact of the myth-scientist and the Arkestra in person. It was beautiful. . — .. . .

The bar is far in the back, separated from the spacious yet simple dining area and the stage. The stage (a real one!) is made to project performance, not to merely stand upon. The sound system is superb (but, PLEASE! Stop playing with the echo!). Re-vibrations can already be felt. We now bring all the factors together. First to emerge is a street-weathered sharp-eyed man bearing a string instrument. The man is Marshall Allen, and the instrument is a zither.

The Phil Collins show was in town. There was a new album, "and then there were three", only two left from Peter Gabriel's first book, those being keyboard player Tony Banks and Michael Rutherford. bassist Guitarist Darryl Stuermer has replaced the departed Steve Hackett, stellar string-twister who joined up with new drummer 1972.

Firecrackers pop, lights out and here they come "on the crest of the wave," sea of voices shout for "Eleventh Earl of Mar" from last year's Wind and Wuthering, Stueremer does all right, but Flackett's work on that album was mostly background. Neither of them appear on And Then There Were Three, but a live show needs someone to fill in the bits. This is undertaken by ex-Zappa drummer Chester Thompson, who thumps a good beat while Phil antics on vocals. Collins has gotten deep in the lead-singer showman trip, and he's good at it, bouncing around and miming with the lyrics; the dancing sailor jigs away the ghost of Gabriel. He is a match for him vocally, but I never saw Peter so do given half a chance, as they wouldn't let him break their tight (at times monotonous) patterns for any material. "In the Cage" for the '74 tour. This was the group's third song, a surprise from The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. This version was a powerful one, the heavy Rutherford bass line booming at the break, a beam of light entraps him as he sings "I shout out John please help me but he doesn't even move or try to speak Subway spectre Rael lives in the creator's protege, but no story or costumes. Phil now resembles the sweat-suited Gabriel of last year, who did a leather-jacket encore of "Back in N.V.C." at his concert. Collins was the tamborine-kicking lawnmower, "I Know What I Like," an artist with the only personality in Genesis, inciting the crowd to clap in time with him. It's all Collins, the eye-catching force Genesis needs. Here he introduces "Cinema Show" with a story of Romeo undressing his Juliet in the drive-in and tying her to the steering wheel, only to be interrupted by the start of the sexuality of one song. The portrait of male and female, as Phil's voice quavers the qualities of both: "once a man like the sea I raged, once a woman like the earth I gave, but there is in fact more earth than sea . . ."

It is ultimately a history of women's experience in a man's world. Planned chronologically, the book starts with an introductory survey of women's education from antiquity-to the Middle Ages, and continues with a highly detailed account from the Renaissance to the 20th century including Enlightment, and industrial Revolution. Major areas covered include France, Italy. Germany, Russia, England, and the United States. Dr. Stock goes the historical development of each country through each century. Her method enables her to raise and look for the answers to certain fundamental questions among them; What typds of education have been available to women? Under what conditions are women likely to be offered an education, and why? How is the social structure related to women's education? In a lucid and absorbing prose style. Or. Stock (as objectively as possible) states her carefully researched information in an understated manner. Indeed, many of the facts about women's role in education don't need a strong presentation. The horror of their truth alone provides enough Impact. — I v,v ■ ■ >. Much opposition Throughout history, the advocates for women’s education have been few. Its opponents have feared "negrtive" effects on women’s "immorality, virtue, fragile bodies and weak minds". In Renaissance Italy, where girls were often married before the age of twenty to men who were older than twenty-five, a wife's education was provided by her husband. This education consisted of practical lessons on how to mange a household and servants, with an emphasis on a woman's knowing "how to conduct herself in a chaste, modest, and sober manner." Women were expected to put chastity and propriety before learning.

Dr. Stock is "still ideologically week on sexual equality". Until a society realizes that it benefits from the full development of the capabilities of all its members, women's education will not fully bloom. "Women's status will be equal with men's when society is so structured as to make use of all those capabilities." It's obvious we haven't ; v come that ttf. 1 Better Than Rubies is not long ( which is a statement in itself), and as the first book to document the history of female education, it points out the relative "youth of the concept, still revolutionary, that education women is no less crucial than educating men."

And I didn't have to hide it behind a cookbook, either. -Joyce Howe ! * 1“ ■ 1 1 NATL DENTAL BOARDS In this country, opposition was also rife, coming even from academe itself. Edward Clarke of Harvard University published a book called Sex in Education in 1873, in which one of his arguments against higher education for women was that it would "destroy the ability of American women to bear children, by overtaxing them at a critical stage in their adolescent development." Others argued that women would be "Unsexed" by too much education; even the act of seeking one was considered unfeminine and obscene. Surprisingly to me, the latest comparative statistics on higher education, gathered by UNESCO during the years 1972 to 1974, show a decline in the proportion of American women in the higher ranks of academia. Although they received 41.5 percent of all bachelor's degrees and 39.7 percent of all master's degrees in 1970, they obtained only 13.3 percent of the Ph.Ds. Women have also lost out on appointments to college and university faculties. New books at UGL Anne Sexton: A Self-Portrait in Letters, edited by Linda Bray Sexton and Lois Ames.

Yogi Bhajam, the man responsible for the introduction of Kundalini Voga to the Western World, spoke Monday night in the Fillmore Room. To begin his presentation, he asked everyone to relax. Questions such as “What is today” provided humor, an informal atmosphere, and served to introduce his first topic. “Today is Monday, tomorrow is Tuesday. Today is finite, tomorrow is infinite.” Could we comprehend the dichotomy? Explaining his meaning of this statement further, he discussed the absence of the past. There arp only memories; no future, only desires. There is only what we are doing in the present and that shapes the future. If you are sad or depressed today, your Tuesday will not be measurably better. “I know my Tuesday will be far out,” he said, “because Monday was so great.” A general talk cortcerning a way of life followed. "There is no such thing as sin; we just sometimes goof a little.” Demonstrating a very realistic attitude toward the wide differences of his audience, which included members of the very activities m Buffalo Kundalini Yoga Ashram and students who are far disciplined he “If you have to do something that others fastidious, continued. less with do it grace and dignity.” To Bhajam, there is no consider sinful, of capable act is expressing beauty and love, but yes “we do sm Every he affirmed. goof a little,” Hope it floats “Take time to sleep and take time to exercise enough to be sleepy ai night. Everybody should eat less, but while they are eating, they should concentrate on the eating and not anything else.” Bhajam added one particularly amusing bit of advice: “When you are done going to the bathroom everyday, get up, turn around, and look at what you have done. If it floats, that means your body is digesting almost all of what you eat, and that is good. If it does not float, you are eating too much, and your body cannot absorb that much extra food In other words, if it sinks, you are sinking with it.” Philosophy followed, with Bhajam entering into a discourse on the power of the spoken word. Urging everyone to tell it like it is, he declared that we ail should die before we have to lie. “Walk straight, talk straight, and live straigh you will feel much better, live longer, and you will sleep good at night.” His message was filled with bits of common sense advice, such as the “Golden Rule.” He concluded, “Just as we see btfauty in the stars twinkling in the heavens above us, God looks down and sees us all as Stars, beautiful and twinkling/’ Gary Ciurczak , - Atmosphere still lades < The atmosphere for performing at this University, although recently improved, still leaves much to be desired, to according Professor of Biochemistry and President of the Organization of Principal Investigators (OPI), W. Roy Slaunwhite. OPI is an unofficial group of faculty members “dedicated solely to the defense of the research environment on this campus.” Slaunwhite referred to organizational remaining and bureaucratic problems concerning research research and pointed to the “recent and imminent” departures from this school of some well-respected professors as proof that a climate conducive to research still does not exist here. The problems that concerned Slaunwhite were centered in the Research Foundation in Albany and muddled in the bureaucracy here. He cited newly-instituted faculty representation on the Research Foundation as an improvement and added, “Now 1 s - indicated that OPI was working with each of the four departments involved Contract Personnel, Administration, Purchasing and the Office of the - Fiscal Designee — to coordinate the implementation money. of grant Commentary The struggle for Chinese socialism 14 23 n John Mooney TRALF and Elmwood Village Tickets, call 836-9678 for more In 1976 Mao Tse-Tung, the Chairman of tfieCommunist Party of China died.

The talented scrum, which was responsible for most of the team’s past success, will be returning this year. The Mad Turtles will also be benefited by the return of their whole backfield. The season will be highlighted by the Upstate Rugby Union Tournament at Syracuse University. The Mad Turtles, seeded in the top twenty, hope to bettej their record of last year. “We plan to hurt them deep inside,commented team member John Wojnowicz. by Suzan Rury Staff Writer Spectrum The Buffalo wrestling squad has accomplished more this season than it ever did before. The Bulls home their fourth brought consecutive State title and their first national title. But, the team will be losing five seniors from their lineup, one of whom is Bruce Hadsell, who holds record for the most dual meet wins at Royal Kegglers to vie for national crown UB. Bruce wrestles because he enjoys the satisfaction of winning, lie not only has a dual record of 50-17-3, but this past year he placed third in the New York Championships at State 168 pounds and placed fifth in the Division 111 Nationals at 158 classes. Hadsell red-shirted (didn’t wrestle) last year to improve his academics and to sharpen his wrestling skills. Although Bruce was able to study more, the break did not improve his wrestling. “It hurt me more than it helped me; I goofed off and gained too much weight,” he said. But, he kept in condition by working out with the team last spring and he did well in jummer tournaments at 190 pounds. During the summer Bruce also enjoyed working with young children Jn wrestling programs. He is interested in coaching the younger age groups because he considers that to be the most time the in development of a wrestler. “If a kid does takedowns only on the right side. I’d like to teach him, important while he’s young, to do takedowns on the left side. But, more important is the mental attitude,” said Bruce. Bruce also gets a lot of satisfaction watching a youngster under his guidance come off the mat a victor. As Bruce looks ahead to employment in business management, wrestling for the first time will take a back seat in his life. But, he wishes to always have some kind of relationship with wrestling. Be it as a referee, a coach or as a member of a club, Buffalo has not heard the last of Bruce’s wrestling fests. Looking ahead, Michael does not expect to find another wrestler like him. “Bruce Hadsell is a once in a lifetime person,” the coach commented. Big time The win advances the team to compete for the National Title in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the end of the month. The Royals will meet eleven teams, from all parts of the country, with hopes of bringing home UB’s first national bowling title. While no UB team has ever* made it to the finals, Fulton and Cobum competed in the tournament last year, representing Erie Community College. That team captured fourth place in the final standings. Erie will again be competing this year, but the other teams are not yet known. Poland feels Coburn’s and Fulton’s experience from last year, as well as the experience the team gained from the Las Vegas Invitational tournament in December, will help the Royals’ game. In the Invitational, Buffalo placed second out of thirty-two teams, finishing behind San Jose State, another bowling powerhouse. The twelve teams will bowl twelve games each over two days and the six teams with the top pin totals will then go on to compete in a special playoff format. The three high teams will then bowl two games for the tournament title on April 29. Meanwhile, Fulton will be competing this weekend in the National Singles Tournament in Miami. ATTENTION!

Buffalo knocked down a total of 7768 pins in nine games to capture the meet. West Virginia placed second with 7491, Penn State third at 9033, Corning fourth (6754) and Eastern Michigan fifth (6506). The Royals represented by seniors Patti Schafer and Liz sophomore Mary Wolszczak, juniors Cindy Coburn and Sue Anne Buboltz and freshmen Marylee Braniecki arid Terry Strassel became the first UB bowling squad ever to reach the sectional qualifiers. Their victory, according to Coach Jane Poland was the result of “good teamwork.” ■ Dry lane conditions caused all pin totals to be lower than normally expected in playoff competition. Because dry lanes caused the ball to hook more, the bowlers had to adjust their normal style of play. “Sue and Cindy, with thejiigher season averages, were affected by the lane conditions, but Patti and the rest of the team came through with very good bowling,” Poland commented. Schafer, the squad’s captain, led the Royals throughout the meet throwing an overall average of 187, while rolling a 226 in the seventh game. Wolszczak, coming through with a strong performance, finished the qualifiers with a 176 average for seven games to aid the Royals’ cause. | can.” by Pauline Labedz Staff Writer Spectrum I pounds.

In September 1976, concluding more than a quarter-century of reporting for CBS, at home and abroad, Schorr resigned after a victorious history-making confrontation with Congress over the freedom of the press and the protection of sources. Against the wishes of the White House, the CIA, the House of Representatives and his own employers, Schorr had arranged for the publication of the suppressed final report of the House Intelligence Committee, detailing failures and scandals in the CIA and FBI. After interviewing more than 400 witnesses and spending a quarter-million dollars in a vain quest for the source of the leak, the House Ethics Committee summoned Schorr and demanded to know his source on pain of a possible jail sentence for contempt of Congress. Nine times Schorr refused, saying, in a televised hearing, that “to betray a source would mean to dry up future sources for many future reporters” and would mean “to betray myself, my career and my life* The Ethics Committee, unable to muster the votes for a contempt citation, finally backed off from the confrontation.

Ketter unsuccessfully sought the position of Presidency at the University of Maryland. Ketter strongly denied the claim. He said that Maryland sent him a letter expressing some interest but “that’s the extent of it.” “You get letters like that four or five times a year,” Ketter stated. “1 did not pursue it whatsoever.” R.L. Hornbake, Chairman of the presidential search committee at the University of Maryland did not deny that Ketter had sought the position. “1 do not think it would be proper to comment any further than that,” Hornbake told The Spectrum. He did say that Ketter did not “formally apply" for the vacancy created by the mandated retirement of 70-year-old Wilson H. Elkins. It was learned that the search committee has decided upon a which at one point attracted 300 finalist after narrowing the field to twelve and then five candidates. Ironically, the applicants President of SUNY at Stony Brook, John S. Toll, was selected as the top choice by the comijiittee. Sources at The Diamondback, the s'tudent newspaper at Maryland, said that Ketter was definitely not among the final twelve candidates. Toll is expected to annouce his acceptance of the post Thursday in College Park, Md., home of the mammoth university. A move is afoot to keep the popular Toll as President at Stony Brook, according to The Diamondback. Last Spring Ketter denied rumors that he sought the President’s position at Emery College in Georgia. He has held his present position at Buffalo since 1970. — - Ketter denies role Telfer resigns to head study by Jay Rosen Managing Editor The “re-assignment” of Vice President for Facilities Planning John Telfer was spurred by a request for his resignation by University President Robert Ketter, sources close to the Administration confirmed Tuesday. announced had been 10 to work on SUNY construction for Oscar Lanford, Vice Chancellor of campus facilities for SUNY. The announcement did not say that Telfer had resigned. Ketter firmly denied that he asked for Teller's resignation, which was reportedly requested around March 16. The official University press release on Telfer’s re-assigment made no mention of a letter of resignation, although Ketter acknowledged its existence to The Spectrum. Neither the resignation nor the The University Monday that Telfer re-assigned as of April on a special study The Spectrum Wednesday, 5 April 1978 State University of New York at Buffalo Vol. 28, No. 71 Three defendants in Long trial confess by ' In stunning reversal of expected defense defendants in the Richard Long murder trial confessed to a hushed courtroom their participation in the June 25 beating death. Buffalo police officers Philip Gramaglia and Gary Atti, and co-defendant Jack Giammaresi all admitted to the jury that they assaulted the Long youth after a traffic incident. The three also testified that police officer Sam Fusco, who has not been charged in the case, was present at the murder scene. Testifying under defense questioning, the three defendants claimed that four others charged in the case Richard Turchiarelli, Joseph were Gerace, Pasquale Vitale and Gary Atti?s brother, Richard innocent of any wrongdoing in the case. The extensively covered trial of the seven men will continue despite the dramatic confessions of the three defendants. Justice Norman Stiller told the jury that “the case is not finished. There is more yet to be heard.” Fusco had been named in the case during the special grand jury hearings and in previous court testimony. He has never been criminally charged in the murder, though suspended from the police department. Outside the court his attorneys declined comment on the testimony of Atti, Gramaglia and Giammaresi. strategy, three — - ‘Courage and love' The testimony came as a surprise to most in the packed courtroom, although the defendants’ attorneys said that, after their indictments October 14, Atti, Gramaglia and Giammarasi decided to testify if the case reached a trial. According to their lawyer, John Condon, Jr., the three never thought their four co-defendants would be charged. After his confession, Gary Atti told his four friends, “Did you think we were going to have you go to jail?” Turchiarelli, Gerace and Vitale had testified before the special grand jury that they were innocent of the murder. Condon said that he asked the defendants before they took the stand if they were sure they wanted to go through with their admissions of guilt. He added that the actions of the three were signs of v “great courage and love.” Testimony by the three defendants differed from previous testimony given by several prosecution witnesses. Atti, Gramaglia and Giammaresi said that the assault took no longer than 45 seconds. According to prosecution witnesses, it was several minutes before the beating ended. No intentions In their version of the incident, the defendants admitted to punching and kicking Long but, they added, they had no intention of seriously injuring him. Gramaglia admitted to punching Long, and Atti said that he kicked him twice, once in the head. In previous testimony, the jury was told that a blow to the nose caused Long to suffocate in —continued on page John H. Reiss Managing Editor Contributing Editor a came “on my initiative” the President said. When asked if the impetus then came from Executive Vice President Albert Somit, Ketter replied, “Not re-assignment to my knowledge.” visiting However, sources said that the resignation request was indeed acting under made by Somit orders from Ketter, who was not in Buffalo the week of March 16. Somit would not confirm to the - Monday that Telfer had even resigned. Assistant Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal will become Acting Vice President upon Telfer’s departure. Telfer will to draw his $33,400 salary after the re-assignment, a University official reported. Just how the special study to which Telfer has been re-assigned enters the picture is difficult to discern. Telfer and Somit did not return The Spectrum’s phone inquiries. President Ketter said he had not “the vaguest idea” if the special study existed before the resignation, or if the study was continue created acommodate Telfer, impressive credentials to whose include degrees in Architecture and previous ■ posts at Columbia and New York City and unavailable for comment. Administrative sources said Telfer’s resignation was handled “poorly" and has created morale problems in the middle levels of the administration. One employee in Capen Hall said the resignation request was the result of a general dissatisfaction with Telfer’s work and not an isolated incident. Ketter denied that the re-assignment created any morale problem. “There’s plenty of work for everyone,” he observed. When asked to evaluate Telfer’s performance Ketter responded: “Everybody has their ups and downs. I would say that there were things on which he performed well and things on which he did not perform so well.” Telfer was brought to the University in 1972 to coordinate what was expected to be a massive growth period. One observer who did not wish to be identified said the halt in construction and budget cutbacks doomed the position of Michigan. Vice Richard Gelman, a spokesman for Oscar Lanford’s office in Albany said he was not aware of the study’s existence or of Telfer’s Planning.

Lanford himself was re-assignment Courier-Express 1 4— In the end, the Student Senate that supported his athletic amendment returning football to Buffalo and humiliated him in his effort to withdraw from SASU, listened to his final oration in polite silence. There were no cheers, no standing ovation, not even obligatory applause as the outgoing SA President thanked the Senate for its cooperation during his tumultuous administration. His final act as President was vintage Delia, utilizing an obscure and outdated presidential power which thwarted adversary Jeff Lessoff’s attempt to amend the SA Constitution and thus prevent the new Executive Director from removing Lessoff from office. It was decisive and direct, vindictive and effective, the type of move that has evoked harsh criticism that Delia has been dictatorial; that the President refused to seek advice, preferring rather to make decisions on his own, regardless of his constituents’ opinions. Recently, The Spectrum asked Delia to objectively review his administration, to discuss both its accomplishments and its failures, to answer its critics and comment on their charges; to compare with the past and look to the future. The interview began with a discussion of the major accomplishments of the Deha Critical gains, Delia said, were made in the area of athletics, SASU, Sub Board, Amherst construction and in administration. working with the University Administration. DELIA: I think the revival of was one of my biggest accomplishments. The creation of football the gave Governance Board financial stablization to Athletic athletics. The Senate established dissemination and receiving of long term commitment to information, applied pressure on athletics which allowed outside sources to have confidence and contribute. The reorganization of Sub board gave us the opportunity to come up with services and activities because it allowed SA which was concerned with - activities and services to have control of Sub Board.

Such intangibles cannot be from Albany’s separated continually weakening commitment to SUNY and the virtual halt in the grandiose Amherst construction plans, now stretching into its third year. Yet, although there is no good news coming out of Albany in thii year’s budget, things could be worse. The $15 million- in re-3ppropriated construction money could have been left out altogether, leaving no hope for the restart of building at Amherst.

Professor Sanouillet is a specialist on Dada and Surrealism, and is the author of Histoire Generate du Mouvement Dada. He has also written numerous book-length studies and articles on topics related to the Dadists and Surrealists. Marcel Duchamp, the focus of Professor Sanouillet’s talk, was a major figure to emerge from the Dada art movement in the early 1920’s in Europe. He popularized the notion of the “readymade,!’ wherein he examined the way in which a common object could become something rare by the addition of personal detail.

Association (SA) Student Director of Activities and Services Barry Rubin said his initial decision to have the Springfest at Amherst was subsequently voted by the SA Executive upon and “generally Committee approved” at an open, informal programming meeting. Rubin said the decision to hold the festivities at Amherst relate to a proposal made by the Student Association of State Universjty (SASU) “to make Springfest a regional activity.” According to plan, nearby State colleges would be invited to participate in the program. Rubin cited Brockport, Alfred, Buffalo State College, Geneseo, and area community colleges as possible participants. the SASU Rubin stated that if this proposal is accepted the Main Street Campus, favored by SA, could not accommodate the large number of students. “Main Street is not physically possible in regard to regional planning," he said. Joint effort Yesterday a SASU delegate visited the University to discuss with SA officials while committees from other schools have been invited to do the same plans commented, “Participating schools would assist in manpower. We’ll be discussing the possibility of building a stage for instance, although UUAB this week.

The event is expected to draw students from all over the Land of Oz to a day of merriment in the Emerald City. The major reason that regional schools have been invited is lack of funding. Although figures have not been set, Rubin seemed certain that the cost of the is this beyond program University’s means. He termed the “economically as proposal activities will last for that necessary” explaining through it’s implementation “all schools would kick in toward the The delegate from Brockport termed its “Spring In” a “big beer blast,” which originated in the late 1960’s and has been cost.” According to a delegate on the Activities Board of Brockport State College (whose “Springln” is serving as a model), the activity it sponsors annually runs between $5000-6000. She added however, “This money is requested from the Student Senate in addition to our allocated budget.” Student Although originally as a est proposed weekend affair, it hap been Springfest one day, possibly being preceeded by a Friday night concert. Rubin said, tentative, plans “Other are although the whole program will be similar to Brockport’s.” Unofficial holiday an maintained as unofficial holiday. She added that its planner, the Student Activities Board, hopes to offer in addition to two or three bands and free beer, games, carnival booths and concession stands. There will be an open, informal planning meeting in the SA Conference Room, 1 14 D Tablert, on Friday at 4 p.m. for all those interested in planning the upcoming festival. Staff Writer Over 400 students, teachers, and revolutionaries representing more than 45 universities and at Yale groups met civic University last weekend for the Northeast Conference on the Liberation Struggles in Southern Africa. Expecting institutions from only the northeast region, conference attracted the from as far as representatives California, Michigan and North Carolina. The major outcome of the Yale meeting was the formation of a regional coalition bearing the same name as the conference. The newly formed group of various college and civic movements was a major conference goal, growing out of “an increased need to intensify opposition to apartheid and all forms of racism,” as stated in the opening remarks. . . . We support the just for self-determination of struggles the people of Southern Africa and declare outselves with all people working progressive toward these ends,” proclaimed the conference spokesperson. The Republic of South Africa has a population of 26,000,000. Non-whites outnumber whites four to one. The white minority controls the economy and the personal lives of the non-whites totally. Senator Dick Clark of Iowa wrote in a New York Times editorial, “South Africa is the only country in the world in which men and women are systematically denied fundamental freedoms in virtually every sphere of human endeavor on the sole basis of the color of their skin.” The basic goal of the members of the conference is to reform the system of apartheid Ideas on the means of reaching that goal varied extremely, causing heated debates on every level. Major speakers such as New York State Judge William Booth and Southern Africa magazine editor Jennifer Davis, spoke of reform of the white supremacy regime and were lauded by the audience. None of the speakers commented on the means to reach reform. The fire came after speeches had been made and workshops attended, when different campus and civil organizations convened the last day of the conference at the Plenary Session. Vested interests surfaced when the newly formed New England coalition “ had to decide what marches and demonstrations, protests it would support. Since each individual event carries a different slogan, each had to be endorsed before final approval. The question of whether or not to support a slogan with “armed struggle” was most sensitive and was argued for more than one hour of the three hour session. One speaker who declined to identify himself argued that thearms struggle was “hypocritical.” trade. corporate encouraging increased the needs Violence only for military spending by South Africa and the majority of the armament trading additional would be with the United States, he said. A representative of the African Liberation Support Committee who would only identify herself as Pat dramatically refuted that position. “The arms struggle has been proven to be the only way,” he said. 'Peaceful means of reform have shown no results. Arms is the key word and it must not be left out.” A member of the same group backed Pat up by paraphrasing Frederick Douglass: “Power will not be conceded without struggle.” The coalition overwhelmingly approved the slogan including the in struggle” “arms phrase Southern Africa The new movement figures to snowball the by reaching middle-of-the-roaders of the political spectrum, leaving the pigs” “obstinate reactionary alone. A speaker from Princeton University said that there should be no middle ground if optimum growth is to be achieved. ‘To be inactive, to be ignorant, to be passive is to approve the system, the status quo,” he said. “We will gain the sympathy of those in the middle. So go out and knock on doors, picket the campuses and talk on the phone.” Students are not powerless, as pessimists of the apartheid issue have asserted, he continued. “The universities and the corporations have public images to worry about. We have the press coverage. The schools fear reaction from alumni and parents of potential freshmen. The corporations fear boycotts.” The Princeton student is talking of divestiture of interests by universities which have invested in corporations operating in South Africa.

DIRECTOR communication between managers He suggested that problems with the Board of Directors had been occurring throughout last year. “A loss of $2,000 had been suffered by the conclusion of the year, but a nice profit had been reached as of January without affecting students’ pockets,” he said. The Board had wanted to raise student fees, according to Reiss, and as a result fighting ensued. Among other problems were “mediocre managers with lousy attitudes,” Reiss said. He also complained of a lack of coherence within IRCB. Vice President for IRCB and Chairman of the Board Jeff Kagan explained that the rehiring of a Business Manager was done “like any interviewing and selecting process. We had to make a decision and we picked the best candidate for the job. “Any does the organization same Former IRCB Business Manager thing.” Kagan suggested that Reiss resigned because “he just didn’t appointed for the remainder of Harvey Reiss —Jenson a ‘lame duck.’ He felt couldn’t operate effectively knowing he wouldn’t be around want to be he next year.” Kagan change does not believe the of officers will hurt IRCB.

Prometheus project Living spacefor the elderly Joel DiMarco Spectrum Staff Writer A group of graduate students in the School of Architecture and Design here has devised a comprehensive plan for converting a local vacant school building into an “intermediate housing project” for the elderly. The plan, called the Prometheps Project, calls for the remodeling of Public School 83 on Merrimac into a part meat-like living space for the aged and for the construction of a community center attached to the rear of the building. “The project combines the more successful features of 150 to 170 other projects,” said director Scott Danford. “In it, we hope to provide an alternative to the aged who may no longer be able to live by themselves, but who by no means should be placed in a nursing home where you have little say in what happens to you. “This is not a giant playpen where we’re going to get rid of the old folks; the residents participate in meaningful social roles.” Each of the school’s classrooms would be divided into two one-bedroom apartments complete with bathroom and kitchenette, with the exception of the four large classrooms at either end of the school which would be converted into two-bedroom apartments. Some of the space for the apartments would be taken from the school’s large corridors and windows would be replaced by large “dormer” type windows protruding a bit beyond the building’s outer walls. The main entrance would lead directly familiarity and continuity. The project is of a type known as “age segregated,” with elderly living with elderly, instead of mixing in with other age groups. Many people cruel, but Danford consider this unfair defended the idea bCTieving that age segregated housing circumvents the situation in which the elderly often do not ask their younger neighbors for help because they feel that they cannot return the effort. He also cited several studies, particularly one long term study done in San Antonio, showing that the elderly live longer and more productively when together than their counterparts who continue to live in their former residences where they sometimes become their own tormentor, “They still need positive reinforcement for their efforts to be meaningful,” stressed Danford. Furthermore, the project could use block grant funds to renovate the facility; once completed, the facility could generate enough revenue in apartment rent however low to maintain itself and also provide money that could be used in other social service programs. The center could also contract with local companies to provide piece-work products for which tenants would receive payment. — The project would have two professional managers, one for the community center and one for the apartment building, along with a professional janitor. The residents themselves would perform all other duties including the assignment of chores. Promises, promises with an overlooking balcony. The lobby would be easily accessible from all parts of the building and would also provide access to the community center in the rear. The center, with a separate entrance, would resemble a large greenhouse fit into a portion of the main building. into a lobby The center could be used as an auxilary station for various social service programs: a day care center, a hot lunch program or whatever else the surrounding neighborhood requires. Danford also expressed hope that the entire project could be tied to this University as part of a program for the study of the aged. In return, tenants of the project could Give and take “What — participate we’re the University’s credit-free program. is highly flexible,” noted Danford. “We’re trying to free up as many options as possible for people.” interested in preventing is neighborhood decline,” explained Anford. “If the school sits vacant, it will become vandalized and an eyesore. However, this needn’t happen. The building is very conducive to rehabilitation and could be useful as a center for neighborhood growth rather than neighborhood decline,” he predicted. “The in concept The project is termed an Intermediate facility, between a nursing home and a private home.

Residents would also be encouraged, though not compelled, to contribute The project faces some problems, primarily the acquisition of the school building The city is willing to sell the building for as little as one dollar, however. University District Councilman Eugene Fahey had previously promised the building to a religious group for use as a school. In spite of his approval of the Prometheus Project, Fahey has said that he will stick by his promise. Another problem is whether or not all the windows and the all-glass community center might waste too much heat their skills and abilities during a Buffalo winter. to the community center members of the teaching younger community the things they have learned.

Danford felt that with a little more work, most of the bugs can be worked out. He expressed hope that the project would be carried out as a pilot project for other parts of the country.

It is strange and probably unfortunate that so few people voted, and so many attend the movies IRC brings here. There is nothing wrong with being a "movie organization," as newly elected president Jim Paul recently called IRC, but that so few people voted is a definite sign that more new directions must be taken. IRC's collaboration with other student organizations to sponsor the Knicks-Braves game is a perfect example of what and it is a big but must be done with more activities. But activities are not the only realm in which a dormitory government can spin successfully. IRC representatives must meet with housing officials immediately to insure that all dormitory space is allocated to students and not to offices. They must demand that broken eievatprs be fixed immediately. They must organize effectively to force Food Service to lower its food and Pub prices, or perhaps should look into establishing their own on campus bar that would generate money back to students. They must demand that University Police put a halt to”the rampant and often arbitrary ticketing of student vehicles. Hey, why not? And this is where the real "politics" enter the student government scene. Not the petty bickering, but the effective organizing to press demands to better "the blah, blah, quality of student life at this University — — — ... :r ' • blah.” Politics as such are inherent to the mecahnics of IRC.

They have also claimed that the other four defendants currently on trial were not present at the manslaughter. Why have they suddenly confessed and how can they state that they didn't mean to injure Long? They allegedly stomtted him to a bloody pulp but didn't mean to injure him? A timely confession is often part of a game plan (although it takes some nerve to say it in print), and one must wonder exactly how the defendants and their lawyers are attempting to paint the big picture.

Sunni Kazukicwicz Veterans Affairs Struggle The following letter was sent to the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry at this University. Dear Friends of message pleased to offer a I am encouragement as the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry takes its first stride in a 15-mile walk across the Peace Bridge into Canada. The walk-demonstration, assembling on the Buffalo campus of the State University of New York, will both express and mobilize the solidarity Jewish students feel with oppressed Soviet Jewry. I add my voice, as I have at every opportunity, to protest against the denial of basic human rights against the restrictive policies which prevent the Jewish people in the Soviet Union from seeking a and free life elsewhere. As Americans we should not waver in our commitment to speak out for the freedom of those who cannot speak for their own freedom. We cannot hope to maintain our liberty if we fail to protest outrages against others My best wishes as the Peace Bridge walk works to achieve the solidarity you seek with concerned New Yorkers, as well as with our Canadian neighbors. Hugh I.. Carry Dump Lessojf, up ‘The Spectrum To the Editor After reading all this garble from Jeff Lessoff I feel and Stephanie Freund, his impartial supporter, compelled to say something. 1 agree Re: Jessoff’s removal from Sub Board with Mr. Lessoff that hi$ ousting was improper, but 1 disagree on why. The truth is that he should have been dumped a long time ago- I think it’s,a travesty ftiat he was alllowed to stay on that long, deciding how our money Was to be spent. Re; Lessoff’s criticisms of The Spectrum. There have been poor moves on both sides. However, the few misguided things the editors of The Spectrum did are dwarfed by the irrational, unstructured venemous assaults made on the paper by Mr. Lessoff. His letters are almost laughable, they are just warblings from a demented, revenge seeking mind. - * So, I say to Lessoff, you deserved it. Re: Lessoff’s attack on Jay Rosen I have my choice of believing the garbage and filth you pro.pagate and the smooth, at times annoying but credible, journalism of Mr. Rosen. 1 dare say that there is no choice at all. And the notion that Lessoff has it all over people like Rosen (Source: Ms. Freund) is hilarious. Considering the things Lessoff’s said about him and all the chances he had to get back, I think Rosen showed remarkable restraint in what must have been a tempting situation. What we need is more Rosens and no Lessoffs. I urge all students not to be fooled by the dynamic duo of Lessoff and Freund. They are . over/.ealous, unintelligent hacks of the worst degree Right on The Spectrum. Michael Taylor Dump *The Spectrum/ up Lessoff To the Editor The Spectrum is most assuredly gloating at Mr. Lessoff’s removal from office It is known that The Although we are faw from ardent political Spectrum has a feverish animosity towards Mr supporters of Jeff Lessoff and his activities in Lessoff. They have constantly berated him to the Student Association (SA), we believe that his point of irresponsible journalism. Was Mr. Rosen's removal from the office of Vice President for Sub comment equating him with “Antila the” Hun” Board was a political move which has Clouded the necessary or fair? What about the sarcastic headline, arrival of the new SA administration and has further “More from Lessoff,” atop his recent letter to the tainted the already shoddy record of the outgoing editor? Isn’t it up to the reader to decide on the SA government. In addition, we believe that The validity of an individual’s commertts? Spectrum has obfiscated their responsibilities as The Spectrum constantly asks the students of journalists by not informing the student body of the this University to get involved. This exact plea was actualities of the situation. evidenced in the recent Guest Opinion written by Dennis Delia cited Mr. Lessoff’s recent letter to Rich Mott and Karl Schwartz. Although Mr. the editor as a valid cause for his removal from Lessoff’s politics may not be agreeable to us, he has office. Yet, and we ask you Dennis, is “freedom of for the previous two years worked relentlessly for expression” not one of our most basic rights, as student government. Additionally, it has been guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution? Far be it in argued, that Mr. Lessoff is a polemic.

The idea of restoring them has been well received, although many of their pledging practices have not. For example, I and other females at this University, have received phone calls that we are certain are part of the pledging process. Amongst other things contained in the conversation, was a request by the caller that he be our slave and was seeking emharassment. This kind of intimidating phone call could be very upsetting to many females. It should be noted that this type of phone call is considered OBSCENE and illegal. Such practices should be condemned and ceased immediately. They can only serve to put sororities and fraternities in a bad light.

ASU (GM) Anarchist Student Union (Groucho-Marxist) SUNY I have been a student at UB for the last three semesters, and I have become used to seeing The Spectrum's -typically narrow minded reporting. But the article on fraternities was too much. I had to write my feelings. First off, there is a world of difference between a national fraternity and a local one. A national has chapters all over the country, has periodic visits from field secretaries who make sure the individual chapter is operating within the fraternities’ laws and the Universities’ rules A national fraternity cannot exist if it persists in the activities of 15 years ago (i.e. hazing). To become a full-fledged chapter in my fraternity (Sigma Phi Epsilon), our group must sign a statement that binds us to a rule of non-hazing. The University has a like rule Since our situation at UB is precarious at the moment (as are all the Greek organizations) we cannot afford to do anything wrong. SPE will not allow hazing, and no other groups at UB will either. Secondly, the article by Botbie Demme makes no mention of the good things fraternities stand for, and do. A club at this school, that brings together people who share like interests, brings their members together to socialize, does community events, is lauded and gets good press. However, tack two or To the Editor While in the Squire Hall lobby on Wednesday, 1 happened to notice a poster for the film Ulp The film, evidently a piece of sexploitation, was advertised by a picture of two scantily clad women wearing black clothes and black Nazi helmets. They were smiling. One of these poster people had a swastika on her helmet. I find both the film and the ad offensive - To the person who calls himself Kelp Airborne: Your dilapidated chef article wasn’t funny. It was just another example of how casually assholes like you treat the existence of our animal friends. In view of the callousness being shown to the Harp seals and whales, and our numerous other endangered animals your little joke just didn’t come off as funny. I stormed into The Spectrum office to see if the writer would face up to an,enraged animal lover. I was told you mailed your little joke anonymously. 1 would personally love to meet you anytime, and I have the nerve to say who I am. You can find me most days in the courtyard training Kung-Fu techniques against trees. My hands are harder than even your head Do have the nerve, clown? Green Peace hasn’t worked. With people like you it has to be war you Les Kroll the racist, anti-semitic to their sexism and implications of the swastika and the Nazi helmets. While it is UUAB’s responsibility to make cultural events available to the campus community, I am sure that dehumanization, such as that embodied in this sexist, racist and anti-semitic poster and film, does not qualify. Gene Grabiner Assistant Professor due Carter and the “collegians” To the Editor I am a student at SUNY New Paltz, 1 am also the editor of our college paper. The Oracle. First, 1 want to congratulate you on the fine quality of your it gives us down here a yardstick to newspaper measure with. What I’m basically writing about is an article that appeared in your paper on Friday, March 10, entitled “Carter and the Collegians: special press conference.” The author of that piece, Brett Kline, should feel proud of himself for writing something that stands far above anything that’s been written - To the Editor Greg R. Flick Secretary Sigma Phi Fpsilon Colony Cultural racist sexploitation Binghamton Fighting mad three Greek letters on for the name, and you have bad press. Yes people, fraternities do things for other Fraternities and sororities are not people. organizations to hurt your grades take away from college, they are there to supplement and help a student get through college. The article concentrated on the drinking aspects of a fraternity. Tell me, what if the example given happened to be an apartment on Minnesota Avenue and the people involved had just been friends celebrating a birthday? Would the event have gotten such publicity? I think the answer is no. 1 think the stigma of the word fraternity made the event get such coverage. It was tragic, but it does not reflect on all fraternities. K.lan Alpine is a local fraternity with no national supervision. All the groups at UB have national affiliations. All we want is to establish a chapter at UB. We need members. We offer the same services as any other club does; attivities, involvement with people who share the same interests, and fellowship. In fraternities it’s called brotherhood, and really, isn’t that what life’s all about? lately At other colleges, the editors who attended the wrote probably your conference usual run-of-the-mill articles about how they encountered the President; they mentioned his clothes, his soft voice, his mannerisms, and mentioned how gracious he was in answering all questions directed him. Not so for Mr. Kline. He gave us a different approach, one that must have left him alone in the crowd at the conference. He told us that he wondered of any of the editors would ask intelligent and critical questions, instead of the ususal “well-prepared questions in TV voices about obscure points that made them sould like mercenary hacks on their way up to middle level bureaucracies and permanent board meetings ” Mr. Kline went wonder why a question about broken campaign promises pertaining to allocating education monies for southwest Texas did not include broken campaign promises to decrease military funding, or a question on when Carter would come visit the Governor of North Carolina neglected to mention the Wilmington Ten. In my eyes, it seems Mr. Kline should be given credit for having the perception to see beyond the superficiality of the conference. These people represented some of the “brightest young people in America.” Unfortunately, as shown by the article, their capacities to critically think are limited. These people represented the worst in America, and the worst that a free press can offer. When Thomas Jefferson said, “If 1 had to choose between a government without newspapers, or newspapers without government, I would surely take the latter,” he had in mind people who would question, people who would think, people who wouldn’t be complacent, people who would dare to challenge. That’s what Mr. Jefferson’s vision of newspapers and the people running them was. Unfortunately, except for a small handful of people, such as Mr. Kline, Thomas Jefferson’s words have fallen upon deaf ears.

While the President recognized the prevailing low morale of the University community resulting from the different problems, there was no serious proposal made in his report as to how it could be overcome. More significantly, merely by reading his report, one would not recognize the fact that the University is run for its student population, and that its very functioning is made possible by the significant role played by the students. Some of the problems mentioned in the report related to the availability of state resources and are determined by factors external to the University. To mention a few, they are inadequate physical facilities, underfunding for capital equipment and operating costs, etc. These problems cannot be seriously addressed and resolved if the University Community doesn’t assert itself as a cohesive entity vis-a-vis the State. much controversy has been'raised concerning the review of Mathematical Sciences Division. President Ketter and Vice President Bunn have expressed the view that the University’s willingness to conduct these reviews is based on its confidence in the strength of the programs. GSA believes that a periodic academic program review serves the necessary purpose of identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the program, as well as the direction for its future development. Graduate students and faculty at large have a great stake in being involved in this review process. As a matter of fact, every review committee devotes a significant part of its tirpe and efforts to meeting with the students and the faculty. However, until the recently, departments, only in many departmental chairpersons had access to the review committee’s report and had the formal responsibility to respond to the same. GSA believes that the following actions are imperative in relation to academic program reviews conducted either regularly Other problems mentioned are the need to by the graduate school office or occasionally by the identify a set of priorities for funding, the-need to Vice President's Office (as in the case of Math. place departmental conflicts in the context of the Sciences): University as v&ole, etc. These.are determined a) The review report be made available to all the largely by factors internal to the University, namely faculty members and graduate students within the by the nature of interactive relations between u ,panceri)«4,progr»:m. students, faculty arid administration hi Order for the b) The graduate school office of the vice University community to emerge as a serious, presidents’ offic& (as the case may be), seek a formal cohesive entity in defense „Qf public higher response to the review report from the graduate education, and in order io strengthen the interactive student association of the concerned department, in relations between the students, faculty and addition to responses from the chairperson and the administration: Students and faculty must begin to faculty. c) Formal graduate student representation he be involved in the running of this University.

It’s biorhythm, a theory controversial of how people function. The theory behind biorhythm is quite simple. It runs like this. Three cycles influence us from birth; the physical, emotional and intellectual. The physical cycle which lasts 23 days affects from person to Gettleson, author of Biorhythm A Personal disagrees. Science “There is nothing in the biorhythm theory person.” Staff Writer that Bernard contradicts scientific percent biological cycles.” Whether science or biorhythm not, it is a true is now a ourselves. The period and alertness, receptivity to knowledge and the logical or analytical functions of the mind. Generally, s people perform well in the up phases of cycles and poorly in the down phases, when energy is being recharged. The most vulnerable time comes not at the low point, as would be expected, but at the zero or critical days the mid-point or baseline of each cycle when a person is changing phases. Since the three cycles last for different amounts of time, they rarely cross the baseline simultaneously. Thus, we are usually influenced by mixed covers a governs 33-day memory, - rhythms. Scientists skeptical The tower stands on what used to be the Lake Ontario Ordinance research qofiducted in the past ten years than the previous eighty. Many scientists are extremely and skeptical are therefore reluctant to seriously investigate the phenomena. University of Minnesota researcher Andrew Ahlgren said, “Biorhythm theory is a silly numerological scheme that contradicts everything we know about biological rhythms with their dozens of variables and thousands of biorhythm calculators each month The most active laboratory researcher on biorhythm in the U.S. Harold R. Willis of Missouri Southern State College. Willis has done studies on hospital deaths, accident medical admissions, incidents and single car fatalities. In one study, he found that out of 200 hospital deaths, 135 or 68 percent had died on a critical day or soon after. Chance would account for 20 percent, since only one day in five is critical. Swiss applications of i he pioneer American biorhythm is Swiss-born George who developed Thommen, simplified calculation tables that require little mathematical ability. He also developed the “Cyclgraf,” a popular aid to biorhythmists. It is a series of cards marked off by days so that anyone can use the accompanying biorhythm rulers to draw a personal chart. U.S. companies have been very cautious about accepting biorhythm. Switzerland In however, municipal and national authorities have been devising applications for biorhythms for years. Swissair, which has begrt studying the critical days of its within one year of the application Skeptics say of biorthythm. that any program would lower accidents merely peoples’ because attention is drawn to safety Although the Swiss were the first to apply it, biorhythm has Its most widespread applications in Japan. Japanese interest began in 1965, when Thonunen sent a copy of his book Is I his Your Day ? to a doctor at the Institute of Public Health inTokyo. A few years after Kichinosuke Tatai founded the Japan Biorhythm Center, biorhythm became a widespread theory applied for public benefit More than 5,000 Japanese now companies to biorhythm accident rates. reduce use their Biorhythm foundations Biorhythm was discovered in the late 1800s in Berlin and Vienna. It has two founders; Dr. Hermann Swokoda, professor of psychology at the University of Vienna, and Dr. Wilhelm Fliess, an eminent nose and throat specialist in Berlin who was later president of the German Academy of Sciences. Both worked along the same lines, but were largely unaware of each other’s research. Through observing his patients, Swokoda noticed that dreams, ideas and seemed to regular nm ifHti i h using that have been made of smaller and items such as calculator watches costing $169 and a desk for computer Biocom $3,000.

Dozens of companies now offer computerized charts to disease, strength, coordination, speed, physiology and the sensation of physical well-being.

The hearing was ordered by Federal Judge Vincent L. Broderick following an attempt by the Pharmaceutical Society of New York to get an injunction blocking the April 1 bill from enforcement. The GDL is a consumer interest bill that will force pharmacists, whenever possible to dispense a state-approved lower cost substitute drug in place of higher priced name-brand drugs. The substitutes, approved by the Food and Drug Administration, are the exact chemical equivalents of the name-brands replaced. effect on April 1 1978 but Louis Attorney General Lefkowitz, the provisions of the bill will not be enforced until the court hearing can be held. New York pharmacists have been protesting the new law for various technical and practical reasons One of these is the requirement that where substitutes are allowed, the cheaper generic drugs must be stocked or the prescription cannot be filled This poses a threat that some customers may be turned yvay late at night simply because another brand is more expensive and cannot be given. The law according to took State Binders and fillers Many druggists are also upset about the State’s poor timing in preparing pharmacists to comply with the GDL. Lists of state-approved generic products to be stocked were sent out just three weeks ago and a revised list containing further instructions was were medical men like Fliess and Swoboda, suggested the rhythm may be due to certain glands that affect the brain The ultimate test of biorhythm lies not in Observations after the fact but in the ability of the theory to predict future behavior and • workable a give — explanation for the cycles. In making predictions, there is a great problem of interpretation. None of the three interdependent clearly. rhythms are strong enough to Intellectual cycle found overwhelm the others. The third cycle, the intellectual, was discovered by Alfred Teltscher, a doctor of engineering teaching in Innsbruck, Austria. Influenced by other biorhythm studies, he studied the performance of his students. Like most teachers, he saw that even the best students have their good and bad days. After making records of the performance on exams, the dates of exams and the of he students, birthdates discovered a 33-day intellectual cycle. Unlike Fliess, Teltscher did not set out to prove a hypothesis. He studied his records in the hope of finding any apparent rhythm. He therefore did not have any On critical days, one cycle will dominate, but never completely. For example, on emotionally critical days the strength of the physical and intellectual rhythms may cancel out any threat. When all three rhythm -1 are at low phase, a person is unlikely to perform at his peak. But exactly how much below his best he will perform is unknown. All this is further complicated by environmental variables. If a person lies in bed during a critical day, there will be little chance for disaster to strike. If a person has no opportunity to perform outstandingly during a peak period, no advantage is gained by its existence.

Richard Van Slyke, in answer to that claim, said, "Most people have a co-pay plan or are on welfare and only pay a dollar or two anyway.” Advocates also have attacked pharmacists’ opposition to the law, claiming that their stand is purely profit-motivated, aside from all medical arguments. This however, may be an unfair assessment since prices for generic drugs are generally lower, but profit margins are, in most much more lucrative than name-brand cases, equivalents COLLEGE STUDENT STUDY PROGRAM: At Hayim Greenberg College in Jerusalem for a semester or one year.

Page fifteen �-v Tar go Fest’ toperk up dorm environment The Fargo Quadrangle housing staff is sponsoring a “Fargo Fest” this Saturday to beautify the dormitory environment. During the Fest, students in Fargo Quad will be painting murals, figures and designs on the walls in the hallways, on ceilings and in the laundry rooms. After the painting is completed, students who participated will be invited to an extremely inexpensive meatball dinner with salad. After the dinner, there will be a free coffeehouse provided by the Fargo Resident Advisors (RAs) and Head Residents as well as by students living in the dorms. Clifford Furnas College (CFC), housed in Fargo, will supply coffee and doughnuts during the entertainment. Beer and wine will also be available. The paint to be used in the Fest will be supplied by University Maintenance and colors not available through the University have been donated by local paint merchants. So far, fifty drawings have been submitted to the Office of Facilities and Planning for approval. , According to Joyce Barrett, a Fargo RA, student enthusiasm has been phenomenal. “We’re expecting approximately 250 students to paint, cook and entertain,* said Barrett, “it should be a great day and a great deal of fun for ail.” Fargo Head Residents Kathy Ilardi and Phil Samuels conceived of the idea in an attempt to give some individuality and identity to small floor groups which are presently hampered by the bare beige and stark white walls currently in the dorms. They also believed that if the students personally contributed time and effort in creating a more attractive environment, they would take greater care in maintaining the surroundings. All three Buffalo television stations have been invited to cover the event, as have die major newspapers. Barry Lillis of Channel 2 news was sent a Fargo Fest tee-shirt which he promised to wear soon. Gene Demanicor, an RA whose hall submitted six drawings of dragons and castles said, “I can’t wait until Saturday. My fldor’s going to look like Fairyland!” ■ Combatting ‘ageism’ *- ■■ y V'* C.‘ Jfg- ’ -C, ' GrayPanthers seek to unite generation - An old man in the United States his children leave home; his job is taken away from him; the cost of living goes up but his pension does not. Stairs become harder to climb. Perhaps his wife dies. This is a hypothetical situation but the fact remains that one out of every lour suicides in the United States is .committed by a person over 65 years old. The plight of the American elderly is perhaps this fliitfaMi*s greatest tragedy. At last, however, a group of concerned citizens has formed an alliance to combat “ageism.” They are the Gray Panthers. The organization was founded by Maggie Kuhn in 1970 when she was forced to retire at the age of 65. Realizing that other people were in the same demaning predicament, she organized the Panthers, a group that is now approximately 10,000 strong nationwide. — Economic democracy The Gray Panthers’ goals encompass the whole world, all generations. Political activism and non-violent demonstrations are instrumental in their opposition to such issues as the mandatory retirement age and their fight for housing improvements. Other aims include “economic democracy,” which is in effect a socialist economy based on serving human needs instead of gaining material wealth. Perhaps their most intensive work has been in the development of a Youth Task Force. The purpose of this, according to a recent Grey Panther newsletter is to “determine how we can unite the generations by recognizing, each age group’s concerns and needs and making them everybody’s concern.” The State University of New York (SUNY) has' granted the Gray Panthers the right to affiliate with the State campusea ...--(j and a $500 budget. “There must be more, interaction between the communityand the campus and the Gray Panthers will help,” stated Jacob Kramer, Chairman of the Audubon Community’s active Gggy Panther; chapter.); Kramer is a student here and will be receiving his BA ih Sociology. He is looking forward to the Gray Panthers’ emergence on campus. “I’ve enjoyed my association with each and every student and have never felt uncomfortable with them,” he said. The introduction day is tentatively scheduled for May 2 and will include dancing in the - .... festivities. “We must fight for the world now for better living. We must fight against war, oppression and discrimination. The Gray Panthers are coming,” Kramer said, smiling. -Diane La Vallee Dustin I loll nuiii f Lenin W. mmm23s M i This Friday and Saturday at 7:45 and 10 pm - l Pag* sixteen The Spectrum Wednesday, 5 April 1978 . . �Orbital Wars; latter satellites and space Legislators hack bid Buff St. makes gains in quest for new gymnasium by Robert Cohen Special to The Spectrum It was announced Saturday, March 18, that the United States wishes to begin talks with the Soviets on barring the present use and further development of “killer satellites." For unbeknownst to a significant number of the world’s population, there’s quite a bit of science fiction-type tomfoolery going on in the upper reaches of the earth’s atmosphere. Recently the U.S. has become quite perturbed over Russia’s deployment and testing of these killer satellites (orASATs as they’re known in military circles) whose mission it is to seek out and destroy hostile (meaning U.S.) surveillance and communication satellites. The latter are used by the Pentagon to check on what the Soviets are up to with their nuclear arsenal, effectively policing the Strategic Arms Limitations Talks (SALT) agreements and also to accurately guide American missiles to their targets in the Soviet heartland; that is in the remote event of an all out nuclear war. Without these marvels of space technology the apocalypse would be much harder to come by. Russia has successfully tested one of these ASATs, blowing up a target drone in earth orbit. And a while back, U.S. Defense Chief Harold Brown hinted that the Soviets had gone so far as to test their capabilities elsewhere r specifically on U.S. government orbital property which certainly couldn’t make the Pentagon too happy. However, as the Soviets know all too well, two can play this fun game of space wars. And at this very moment the U.S. is busy working on its own killer satellitespossibly equipped with high powered laser weapons to /.ap those dastardly commjes out of the skies. So the question now becomes one far removed from who’ll rule the seas or even the air. It’s now who’ll be the lord of space. Sounds like Intriguing science fiction you say; sure does, only , thing, boys and girls, it s really happening only several hundred miles above our heads. The Pentagon has fulminated that it is not to be outdone in these space wars there will be no '“spy satellite gap like the supposed Kennedy Missile gap of the early 60’s.” One U.S. threatened, . with the programs we have underway, spokesperson r r r o we can dean up the skies in twenty-four hours. “Let’s hear a raucous cheer for good ingenuity, apple pie and mom.

The suit, filed in Washington, the U.S. DC., states that government, principally through the Department of State, has encouraged and supported the spraying of highly toxic herbicides on marijuana and poppy plants in Mexico for mory than two years, despite early warnings from the U S Department of Agriculture and others that the program was Named as dangerous. too Defendants in the suit are the the Drug Department, Enforcement Administration, the State for International Agency Development, the and Department of Agriculture. The two principal herbicides used in the Mexican program are paraquat and 2,4-D, both of which are extremely toxic.

Moreover, NORML said that any marijuana recently began conducting tests to determine the extent of the hazard to those who smoke paraquat-contaminated marijuana. “How can our government in good conscience,” asked NORML National Director Keith Stroup, “urge the spraying of marijuana with extremely toxic herbicides without first considering the health consequences to those who smoke it?

Two hockey Bulls take All-Star honors Two hockey have been named to the New York Association (NYCHA) All-Star squad. Sophomore defenseman Carl Koeppel was named to the first team, while captain Chris Bonn, a forward, made the second team. Koeppel, an outstanding skater, contributed six goals and 21 assists for the year. Koeppel was pleased that he made the team. “It’s an honor,” he said, but adding he felt he’d played better last Collegiate Bulls Hockey season. Senior Bonn was surprised that he made the squad because he the second leading scorer for the Bulls with 17 goals and 23 assists. Bonn is UB’s eighth all-time leading scorer. Both Bonn and Koeppel expressed admiration for each other. “Chris is a super man,” comWiented Koeppel. “He really deserves it. He worked hard every day.” Bonn felt the same way about Koeppel: “I’m happy Carl made it; he really deserved it.” The All-Stars were chosen by the coaches of the league, including Buffalo coach Ed Wright. Plattsburgh, which won the league championship, had three players named to the squad: goalie Rick Strack, forward Dan Brown and defenseman Doug Kimura. Buffalo finished the year with a 14-13 record (9-5 in the NYCHA games), good for a fourth place in the league. UB made the playoffs but was knocked out in the first round by Middlebury. only offense has raised hope for a successful 1978 spring season. The club is coming off a 5-3 season in 1977 with many of its top performers returning “1 can say we’ll have a winning season,” commented coach Perry Hanson. “Our defense is strong, as is our goalkeeping and offense .” The club begins a twelve game season at Alfred tomorrow A transfer from the University of Pennsylvania, Jim Papoulis teams up with powerful Don Lund to anchor what Hanson feels is the strongest defense that UB has ever had. Although UB plays a generally controlled game, the size and experience of the defense will allow the Bulls to compete with the most physical teams. In addition, mid-fielder Larry Leva on particularly defense to give the Bulls the control they need to keep the ball concentrates out of their own zone. Hanson has a pleasant problem he must choose one from two goalies. excellent Goaltenders Frank Betley and Frank Ditondo high caliber should give UB performance in every game. Betley has played goal for top ranked Cornell in the past giving him experience against punch utilizing a controlled offense. Hanson has been working on a strategy that enables the five attackmen to search out the open man and then, via accurate passing, to work the ball into the goal area. Higgs and Massaro in are excellent ball handlers who use their finesse to particular out-maneuver the opposing defensemen. Alfred - a hitting team Hanson is optimistic about the potential scoring of transfer Craig student Kirkwood. Kirkwood, a midfielder, will fit into the scoring as the up man on the attack. With Leva handling the defensive load of the midfielders, should quickness Kirkwood’s allow him to sneak in for some scoring high afternoons this spring. The Lacrosse Club does not have varsity status. Hanson feels that this keeps UB from attracting players whose sole purpose is competing in lacrosse. However, he is grateful for the cooperation the club receives from the He Department. Athletic attributes the rise in the quality of the Bulls’ players to the growth of lacrosse in the Long Island area. “The guys who play here have had, for the most part, four years of high school experience. 1 wpuld say despite our club status, we are as good as any average Division III team,” commented Hanson, “Alfred trouble president Frank | with the BOOKS H56 Elmwood (between Allen & North) I J Unusual, hard to find books Massaro and Higgs, who led the team in scoring last year, can be expected contending r-yfiNR—5 the form the attack positions.

It was like Sharon Silversteinstein of an accident. I wouldn’t classify Plainview, L.l. was taken into her as like a Piece anyway. She — - — — dresses awfully. I mean really. It was intense though.” McMertney, who was none too pleased with being termed a Piece, gave this account: “I was standing at the bar there, discussing my bowling team with my friend and I start to smell this smoke. I turned around and there was this JAP lighting up my skirt. I just bought it at Two Guys, too." two-ten split with her against the bar wall. While half the crowd cheered the nicely rolled shot, the other half was outraged. Silversteinstein reportedly screamed, “Daddy!’ when her head hit the wall. As the JAP crowd rushed to her aid, the WNY’ers broke into the chant “Bowl away the JAP’s” and marched outside halting Main —continued on page 4— Nice shoot According to police accounts, Silversteinstein who packed an unlicensed twelve watt blow drier refused to cease in her purse and desist the burning. who has a 179 McMertney then grabbed the JAP average by the denim vest and got the — — - Ellicott Creek is returned by Theodore Roosevelt “A student, a degree, a creek, Ellicott.” When asked what that Campus F.dilor After long months of heated debate, the University Senate 68 to 32 margin to Ellicott Creek to the Ellicottians. This was the first of voted by a return two treaties guaranteeing the Creek's neutrality after control passes to 2000. Amherst in the year Terming it both a moral and victory for his substantive blemished Administration, University President Bobby Kerter said, "It’s about time I did something.” Kerter denied having to “twist arms” claiming that although he made 16 calls to unfriendly senators the day before the big vote, the phoning had do with the Ellicott Creek Treaty he was just looking for a baby sitter for Amy. Leader Faculty Minority nothing to - Rightheart Jonathan a (Cons.-Tenn.) who played decisive role in the Treaty’s passage and received high acclaim, said it will have no effect on his running for Dean of Division of Underg raduate Education (DUE) in 1980. Help Student Majonty Leader Frank Lee Ignorant, who has often been called a “birdbrain,” exclaimed, meant he responded, "Just say it backwards - Ellicott, a creek, a degree, a student.” Refusing to clarify his statement further, Ignorant remarked, "Who cares who controls that muddy swamp of a creek anyway. Let the Ellicottians have it. Just arm University Police,” It was ignorant who cast the 68th vote, giving the treaty one more than the needed two-thirds majority ratification. This leaves the other treaty, the one that actually transfers control to the Ellicottians, to be voted on next month. Opponents of the transfer, said they would vigorously oppose any change in the current balance saying, “Norton may now be Squire Hall, but to us it remains Norton. Just ask Art Came.” Although defeat of the second seems unlikely, treaty highly Kerter must come to grips with his acceptance of a clause that would allow SUNY to send troops to Ellicott if the Creek is closed for any reason. This “reservation" angered the government and relatives of Brig. Gen. H. Smuggler and raised the possibility that a complication in the Ellicottian plebiscite may arise. The chances are that the Ellicottians will accept the treaty before their homeland sinks into the mud. The Creek, which SUNY built the late 1 800s and leased for 99 years, is based on Ellicottian soil. It was designed to link the split worlds of the two campuses and recently came under fire when F.llicottians claimed they had the property This stirred rights. reaction among SUNY officials who suggested, “what Albany unless builds, owns, Albany Rocky built it." Adding to the confusion of the Creek controversy, a Division of the in (DOB) Budget spokesperson commented, "What Albany didn’t it owns.” The Roke, B. suggested that construction has delayed been temporarily build, still spokesperson, "Mr. indefinitely. Passage, of Treaty has the first prompted Creek the University to direct its foreign affairs elsewhere. President-Kerter “Now that the exclaimed, Lllicottians have their creek, we can fight for their human rights.” Kerter said that just because people live at Hllicott, doesn’t mean they have some sort of his Complex. Reaffirming sipping and his leadership brother’s beer, the President told a Capen House Lawn press conference that tuition was falling, budgets were increasing, and “we will all live happily ever after.” W GYM FOR AMHERST; Work finally got underway in #a construction of Amherst's new $9 million athletic fieldhouse. Tht main entrance to the gym, pictured above, is near completion, and work will soon begin on the other 99 percent of the project. The only problems with the construction thus far, noted head engineer Frank Frutt, is that the State Department of Transportation forgot to reroute Millersport Highway before construction was initiated. Hence, Frutt fumed, cars are continually smashing into the new structure, slowing progress considerably. In any case. State Division of the Budget official Paul Villette was so incensed that construction was resumed at Amherst that he went berserk, running aimlessly throughout the Albany Mall, carving obscenities in the marble. April Fool’s Issue . The Spectrum . Page three �Striking Nurses let professors go naked by Bob Throb RIP. The Nurses who feed and dress the professors at* this University have gone on strike, creating widespread havoc as disheveled and partially naked hungrey teachers roam blindly through the halls searching for truth but unable to find their classrooms. The nurses,' led by Union leader Clara Barton, described their working conditions as “slovenly and wet.” She continued, “We need more nurses hired at higher wages. Right now, we have to run from office to offi e so by the time we get to see one professor, another has made a mess.” Faculty observers commented that the nurses were not doing that great a job to begin with. Said Marvin Parvin, “How can they bitch when they dress the professors in 1950’s style pants which are too short anyway. And then they couple that with droopy maroon socks. I just can’t understand if ." Barton giggled in reply, “We have to make do with what the Salvation Army gives us.” The State Board of Regents has taken quick action. Several Emergency stations are distributing “do-it-yourself Pabhim Kits,” , . < complete with swallow-proof plastic spoons. Hot and nasty All departments are not affected equally. Sociology, Philosophy and Jmalish are the most devastated. One sociologist, who wailed not to dribbled, “The preponderance of evidence, in my opidHH, irrefutably evinces the manifestations of unique discontent pervaSgg our nursing establishment.” Unable to continue, the profesror collapsed onto the sidewalk, curldd up into the fetal position and began sucking his thumb, muttering “Where’s my mommy?” The department of engineering appears to be the least affected. Professor E>uchd Bridges said, “Basically, we’re not that spacey as many other faculty members. Why, I even know several men who can put on their own pants. I almost can. I just need a nurse to help me with my ripper.” The department of mathematics is cut in half. The Pure mathematicians are totally incapacitated while the applied members are coping better. Explained applied mathematician James Kazaragreen, “I just didn't wear my tie shoes today.” Until the strike is over, all classes are cancelled.

Mr. Kline, according to the police, ran at Mr. Von Conrad from behind, blindsiding him, and taking his legs out from under him. “It was a clip, no question about it," said Mr. Reiss added that NFL rules had been amended in 1952 to legalize ‘previous illegal side blocks. “Raaaaaaooeewww, Ziggy,” he said, Similarly, Managing Editor Jay Rosen said, “You dop’t have to be pseudo-intellectual to see that it was a legal hit.

The local women who had jammed the Mushroom to call attention to prejudice pouring patterns of the bar’s bartenders were pursued by the JAPs, who by this time had removed their clogs and unholstered the hair driers. Standing two and four abreast, the JAPs pitched the objects at the local women. The women retaliated by peeling the wings off the cars and hurling them back at the faded-denim clad JAPs.

It was no more than forty minutes. Then they stole my boyfriend away by offering to hold his hand by the end of that very same night!” Lance Goldarrow, manager of the Muffed Mushroom, said the JAPs have been good customers. “We pay men to walk around and say 'Hey you’re beautiful.’ The JAPs enjoy this very much.

Vith all due respect, Henry Kissinger �Polanski set to film is the Carters’ lifestyle Veteran film director Roman Polanski has accepted President Jimmy Carter’s request to make a film protraying the life style of America’s First Family. The ubiquitous Hollywood touch is evident in the casting of actors and actresses for the film. Polanski will appear in the role of Amy Carter’s private tutor while Amy will play her loveable self. Billy Carter, the President’s closest advisor on matters involving etiquette and social decorum, will play a parapelegic alcoholic who cleans the White House kitchen. Although still in the formulative stages, Garter predicts the film will unite the American people by protraying a family with a code of ethics viable to families of any racial or political denomination. The long awaited cameo appearance of Richard Nixon as an Electrolux salesman will remain in the completed version despite pleas from his embarrassed family. The tentative release date of August 8th coincides with Carter’s proposed tour of Lebanon, Belfast and the South Pole, and the date of Nixon’s resignation.

The ECAC has ruled out the use of sails, which several players had taken to wearing to take advantage of the strong winds. RARE will also be able to schedule swim meets in the lake. Swimming coaches Bill Santoyota and Pam Chokes objected at first, but when it was pointed out that swimmers swim faster in colder water ( and that swimming was first on the “to be dropped” list), they went albng enthusiastically with the plans. “We might be able to break a world record in a good winter,”, enthused Buffalo Santoyota. Men’s Athletic coordinator Ed Bluto pointed out that the use of the lake will minimize scheduling difficulties: “We’ll be able to schedule hockey games on top of the ice and swim meets below it,” he explained. ■f Take my wife, please Since Millersport Highway has to be rerouted, RARE officials plan to use it as the track. yet ran wmm • There IS a difference!!!

The only thing that no one could be optimistic about was the lack of lockerroortis.

Most of these reports have been completely ignored but close examination of these sightings has revealed a startling resemblance to the legendary Loch Ness the past In reported seeing LaSalle of the a Monster (Nessiteris Rhomboxteris). Convinced that this is indeed some relative of the infamous “Nessie,” The Spectrum decided to try and get an interview with the lake monster (tentatively named .Ellicotus Nessitus). The first problem was how to attract “Elbe.” After considerable thought and 14 joints, the staff decided to use the traditional method; sacrifice a virgin. Unfortunately, this idea had to be scrapped, primarily because virgins are out of season, so we went to our alternate plan of playing bagpipe music in an effort to appeal to the creature’s Scottish background. Much to our dismay, we failed to find a bagpipe, so we settled for having our Managing Editors sing two choruses of “Stayin’ Alive.” We were successful; not only did we get the monster’s attention but we also managed to break 174 windows, deafen nine dogs, and waken most of the dead. So, here is an exclusive interview with Elbe the Lake Monster, done by our most brilliant, capable and gullible reporter, the late Harvey Triplespace. Harv: Mr Monster, are you any relation to the Loch Ness Monster? killv: Well, 1 just figured that after three million Solution to this week’s puzzle will appear in The Sunday Spectrum years it was time to go out on my own, so I crossed the ocean and set up house keeping here. It was delightfully disgusting and has such a charm-name* EERRIE. Harv: Why did you leave it? Elite: In the late 60’s 1 heard this rumor that the lake was going to be cleaned up so I decided to move, Harv: But why to Lake LaSalle? Elite: Well, at the same time I heard these rumors about this new campus “The Berkley of the East.” 1 came to see for myself and was really impressed. There was the most nauseating looking little swamp I had ever seen overlooked by the ugliest looking castle. And Tefler said ttyat f could move into the ; cave on the bottom right V Harv: Swamp? You mean the lake? Ellic: Of course, what else could it be but a swamp. Mind you, it’s not perfect; 1 did have to import my own slime and the neighbors in that castle are » M terribly noisy but Harv: Wait a minute, that’s not a castle that’s the Ellicott Complex. Ellie: Aw come on, i know a Castle when 1 see one Look, it’s got towers and a moat and a . . . Harv: That’s not a moat. That’s Ellicott Creek Ellie: Well maybe, but you can’t deny it’s got a dungeon. Harv: Dungeon? Where? Elite: That part in the middle there. All I hear in there are moans and groans of anguish and whispers about some unspeakable torture called “The Mid Term.” Harv: That’s not a dungeon, it’s the Millard Fillmore Academic Center. They teach classes in there. Ellie: Teach? Teach what? Harv: Well, there’s the Puerto Rican Studies Program, The Women’s Studies Program, the . . . Elite: You mean they give you credit for sitting in a room studying a Puerto Rican! what’s Women’s Studies? Amateur gynecology I slippose. Harv: No, no, no . . . oh, never mind. Tell me, Ellie, do you ever miss the Loch? Ellie: Yes, 1 especially miss the females of my kind. Last summer I got so desperate for a braod, 1 seriously considered raping the Bubble. And just last week, I was surprised to see a fellow Scotsman dressed in a kilt blwoing a bagpipe. I got so exicted, I just had to come up to talk to him. Harv: Did you two have a nice talk? Ellie: No, turns out it wasn’t a Scotsman at all, just a transvestite molesting a squirrel. But 1 wasn’t too upset, I think I’ve become more Americanized in some ways. Harv: Yes, I was just admiring your Farrah Fawcett tee-shirt. Ah, Ellie, what do you eat? Ellie: Well, there’s not much in the Lake, just cigarette butts, beer cans, my pet pirhanna and Jimmy Hoffa’s body. Mostly I send out from Pizza Hut. I like their delivery girls. Harv: You mean they’re kind and courteous? Ellie: No, delicious. There’s a lot of good things under their skirts. V Harv: So I’ve heard. In that case I’ve got just one last question. What aife yoUf future plans? Ellie: 1 dunno, maybe I’ll stick around for a couple of thousand years just to see how the new campus comes out. Who knows, maybe it’ll be finished before the next Ice Age. # 1015 Kensington Ave THE SPERHER 837-1557 SHOP Westock top qualify RAW Speakers most ■ r'YfiNfi'i BOOKS | i ■156 Elmwood!

The two star sabre fencers stepped to the composed Strip as the Crowd — - hushed. an enormous 6-5 man, pointed to his unscarred backside Garrison, and said to Pong, “Mine’s gonna stay a full moon.” Pong glared inscrutibly. The action was impeccably close, with both fencers barely escaping menacing thrusts. With 30 seconds left in the regulation bout, Pong executed the move that has made him a legendary performer. First, he spit on his weapon, rubbed it a little, and held it high in the air. It glinted in the afternoon light and -blinded Garrison. Then, like an ejaculation from a well-oiled dart gun, Pong rocketed toward his opponent, impaling hum just under the left shoulder. The stunned Green slumped to the floor, with a distinct frown on his visage. The ever-sportsmanlike Pong said to him, “Sorry to make this gory. I meant to get your heart.” Then, with cheerful alacrity, Pong swished his head off. Rich Shannon also won his bout, yet by a slimmer margin. In a newly developed shrill voice, Rich explained, ‘‘In his last ditch effort, he hurled his weapon at my thigh. He (gulp) missed.

Parker common sense. “The old ID,” he said, “is of no use to anyone or the institution. The new card supersedes the one one. We are collecting the old one to prevent misuse by the wrong people.” He added that the decision to go with the new card was based on the premise “that the old one was no Campus Editor Once more with feeling. After endless squabbling, name calling, high level committee meetings and thousands of wasted dollars, the new permanent ID source of cards remain a controversy as students receiving them Monday had their old cards, of which contained proof IRC membership, confiscated.

After reconsideration. • good.” Officials at Admissions and Records (A&R) said that by the end of the day, students were being “asked, not required” to give back the old cards. Supervisor of Student Distribution Diane Gorenstein questioned why there wasn’t anyone from IRC or the Student Association (SA) in Hardman Library to provide new stickers. Associate Director for Student Records and Registration Jim When asked if she thought the hurt IRC, Schwender said that “if students confusion could insisted on keeping their old card, Gorenstein said, “1 think there are they could.” Many people, as well ways to prove that people are IRC as most of those working on the members.

The SpECTI^UM Vot. 28, No. 7Q, State University of New York at Buffalo I Love N.Y. blitz Asking the Faculty Psychics and skeptics Pg.2 Pg-5 Pg.6 Wednesday, 22 March 1978 Fraternities: joy vs, tragedy by Bobbie Demine City Editor “Social fraternal organizations are defined as those student groups whose primary concern is the bond of friendship among students which can develop through a planned program of social, educational and service activities designed to assist in the personal, intellectual and social development of their members.” � • • * * With this statement of policy, SUNY central officials this year ushered the Greek system of fraternities and sororities onto stale campuses after a 23-year ban. At the same time, just 90 miles from the largest state campus, Alfred University officials employed this same policy statement to withdraw recognition of the 52-year old, self initiated Klan Alpine fraternity. Klan’s assistance in the “personal, intellectual and social development” of one pledging member had; direct bearing op his recent, untimely '. ‘ 1 1 '■ 1 • 1 death. Charles Stenzel, a 20-year old Alfred University student, was the victim of an outmoded fraternity ritual called hazing. Hazing is the practice of subjecting fraternity or sorotity pledges to tests of punishment, harassment or other abuse as a condition of membership. It is also a violation of both New York State law and the regulations of most colleges in the state. ‘ * Missing link Activities primarily associated with drinking were reported in published accounts of the Klan Alpine hazing rites as ultimately responsible for Stenzel’s death. Reports indicated that each of the Klan pledges had been given a half pint to a pint of whiskey, which they were encouraged, though not forced, to drink. Further accounts revealed that the consumption of other alcoholic beverages in varying quantities continued throughout the evening. In addition to participating in the drinking rites, the pledges were reportedly placed in the trunks of automobiles and driven around for ten to 1S minutes before being returned to the fraternity house and released. While Courier Express accounts did not link the two rites, informed sources on the Alfred University fraternity scene have revealed that the pledges drank the whiskey while being driven around in the trunks of the autos. Upon returning to the fraternity house, they were expected to have consumed the entire amount of liquor. According to one student source, this incident was standard procedure for Klan Alpine’s “tapping night” the night during which the fraternity brotherhood informs prospective - members of their eligibility. Great expectations The fraternity had a habit of drinking to one another, according to Ken Thompson, a member of another fraternity on the Alfred campus. “The fraternities all have a celebration on tapping night generally a lot of drinking goes on, but nothing quite like Klan’s,” remarked Thompson. The official cause of Stenzel’s death was listed as “acute alcoholic intoxication,” with Stenzel apparently having consumed a pint of whiskey, some wine, and an unknown amount of beer. Alfred University Dean of Students Donald King commented that' he ‘‘did -not believe the students were forced or coerced to drink. But drinking was an expectation of persons at the party.” In response to questions concerning the excessive drinking and their tapping night ritual, Klan Alpine President Scott Townsend admitted the actions, but qualified his statement, saying, “It’s not a requirement; everything is up to the discretion of the ‘big brother’.” A “big brother” is the fraternity brother sponsoring an individual pledge during his bid for membership in the brotherhood. - Disruptive and anti-social The Klan, comprised largely of “sports figures” and noted for its physically difficult pledging rites and rough-housing, was characterized by members of various other fraternities on the campus as violent. Alfred University Provost Gene Odle expressed a similar view when commenting on the withdrawal of university recognition of Klan Alpine after the fatal incident. “Klan Alpine Fraternity has followed a pattern of disruptive and anti-social behavior over the years,” Odle confirmed. “The last incident was just more of the same.” The retraction of university recognition was the —continued on page 14 — —Rury LIGHTNING STRIKES: In Sunday's intramural A league playoffs.

Thus, the promotion was made to appeal especially to those residing in the land of taxes. “When it comes to summer vacations, we are in competition with other northern states that have similar weather appeal and advantages,” said Rotman. The most recent edition of the promotion has several Broadway acts like Stephanie Mills and the 'rest of ‘The Wiz” cast doing their version of the theme. "There’s no place like "Sew York,” said Rotman. “And,the biggest single attraction of '‘that city is Broadway, there’s nothing else like it.” In one declarative sentence, the - together enough successful program, but hanging in there.” some local woes, the campaign is enjoying with addition of the emotion featuring several play’s rendition of the Y.” slogan, promotional commercials television are the result of done by the New York '.partment of Commerce, reaching the largest group of consumers in and uncovering the jew.York has to offer.

JSU member Steve Karp said, “We have a sign up list and we’re hoping to get a bus load of people The (JSU) here has to go. It costs about $1200 to rent a bus, so we’re asking for donations.” A Nazi group last year tried to obtain a local court’s permission to march in Skokie on the anniversary of Adolph Hitler’s birthday. The town is 60 percent Jewish and is the home of about 6000 holocaust survivors.. The court refused the Nazi’s request but their case was taken up by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) which confirmed the Nazi’s right of free speech guaranteed by the First Amendment. The local court was overruled by an appelate court in Illinois through the efforts of the ACLU and the Nazi’s were granted the right to march. The lower court recently overruled the appelate court’s grant of approval and issued a 45-day injunction preventing the Nazi National Student Director for JDL Howard Barbanel said, “I assume the Nazi legal council will secure the right to march no matter what the courts decide.” Freedom denied member JSU Mark Siev believes that by giving the Nazi party the freedom of speech, the ACLU is denying Jewish freedom. “The ACLU should defend the rights of the victims rather than the rights of those who are trying to cause hostility.” Barbanel concurred. “The tragic thing is that the ACLU has taken the * KATZ JEWELERS 3074 Bailey Ave. 832-1600 10% Off with U.B.

According to Karp, Jewish organizations across the country plan to assemble as many as 15,000 people to block the street and are impede the Nazi march. “If we are forced to move, the first few hundred people will go to the back of the line. By the time the Nazi’s penetrate through 15,000 people, it will be sundown,” said Karp. JSU member Mark Siev feels that there is little awareness of the situation on this campus. “We want to have a publicity drive on campus about the neo-Nazi drive. Even if students can’t go to Skokie, everyone in his own way should do something to make sure there is an awareness of the Nazi party.

Under the bill, the questions and answers to the tests must also be sent to students within 30 days after the exams. Ten days before the exam, each student would receive a test description in the mail, would be informed of its purpose and how scores will be reported. James Jong, a student here working for NYPIRG on the ETS project said that he is presently talking with the Directors of Admissions in Graduate Departments here in an effort to win support for the bill.

The Spectrum Wednesday, 22 March 1978 - J,lv ‘ ■ .-.I?*- v �The faculty speaks on academic environment here Editor's note: The Mathematical Sciences Review Committee Report released last month by The Spectrum has brought to the campus community's attention the "dismal” atmosphere at this University. "In Buffalo the normal University environment is not preserved," the - - report reads, "...there units ahd is wide dissatisfaction with are rampant between academic various' personalities; and a sense of despair current conditions; feuds the campus since no improvement in the environment is forseen in the visible future. The Spectrum in view of the University decided to Administration’s denunciations of the report ask the faculty. In this installment of a three part series, we asked several members of the faculty of Social Sciences and Administration (FSSA) about their perceptions of the report and its sweeping indictments of the University pervades " - atmosphere. by Harvey Shapiro Contributing Editor The one problem that all professors lamented was that University-wide anathema split campuses. As Provost for the Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration Arthur Butler said the departments of his faculty are split between four areas. “Some are in Ellicott, some are at the spine, and a few are at Main Street and Ridge Lea. It’s very awkward to be located so far away from a majority of the he said. that the departments,” Butler added split-campuses limited the amount of interaction between faculty members of different departments. Other professors also claimed that the split campuses work against interaction between students and faculty. “A travesty,” said Professor of Economics Abraham Haspel. “It’s the most ridiculous system I have ever seen. For students and faculty to spend one to two hours a day commuting is a waste of valuable' time.” He added that because of the fragmentation “there is no sense of community here,,” and that’s “what makes a University.” Another dilemma traced to the split campus system is the inadequate access departments have to the library. Departments such as History, Political Science, Sociology and Psychology find themselves at least twenty minutes from the largest library Main Street’s Abbott. Chairman of History jClifton Yearly claimed that faculty-student interaction has been cut down by the three miles from History’s Ellicott headquarters to Abbott: “Students are on Main Street at the library, rather than at Ellicott where our offices are.” Chairman of Psychology Kenneth Levy — - echoed Yearly’s sentiment. “Here at Ridge Lea there is no adequate library,” he said, “so our students are not around here but are at the library on Main Street.” Levy added that the split campus system has hindered graduate students’ research projects because undergraduates who once volunteered as test subjects “no longer wish to come out to this barren campus.” Not attractive Besides the long-trek to the library, the quality of its collection is now being questioned. Budget cuts have put the library behind in its acquisition plans the last four years, according- to Butler. For whatever reasons, faculty members are disenchanted with the library system. Haspel called the library here “one of the worst I have ever seen.” Other professors said that the library was “not very attractive” when compared to other universities. . . . There is little sense of loyalty to the University or of belonging to a community of scholarship; there is little pride in one’s work, there is no spirit of selflessness . . . This passage from the Main Sciences Review Report generally describes the problem of low faculty morale. In the past few years it appears that many members have with the deeply discouraged University environment. Many trace this sinking morale to the atmosphere of austerity .which pervades the campus today become There are other explanations of the plummeting of morale. siad that the History’s Yearly faculty de-structuring of academics has contributed to low spirits among faculty members: “When we moved away from a common curriculum in the lower division, wc split faculty up.” Low morale at this University is part of a “country wide” phenomena that has spread across higher education, he noted. Not all faculty members are content to grin and bear the University atmosphere. It appears that many good It seems that as more and more professors become disenchanted with the University, word is spread that this place ‘is not a good one to be at, academically . .' . professors are leaving Buffalo for other institutions and are not being replaced by high quality people. The University Administration has scoffed at the so-called “Brain Drain,” claiming that overall the quality of the faculty is unchanged, though individual departments may have been weakened or fortified. Professor of History Richard Ellis said that in recent years, “History has lost a lot of good people and we haven’t been able to replace them.” Levy acknowledged that the Clinical Psychology Department which is in danger of losing accreditation because of poor will lose many faculty members facilities at Ridge Lea over the summer. “Twenty five to thirty per cent ojf the program won’t be here next Fall,” he said. Levy wirned that if the program loses accreditation, many more c*n be expected to leave, including himself. Levy is not the only professor looking elsewhere. Almost every faculty member interviewed confessed that they were shopping around for a position. This is not totally out of the ordinary as Yearly noted, “Good people are always looking for a better alternative.” Provost Butler added that- the good people who have left here received invites from Ivy League schools “and there is no way that we can compete with their offers. While many people have left, we have replaced them, where possible, with good personnel.” — In the expanding era money for books, for faculty lines, for offices was plentiful; today departments fight each other for a small piece of a shrinking pie . . — — . in sharp contrast the optimistic outlook for exapnsion present when many faculty members joined the University in the late 60’s, early 70’s. In the late 60’s the mood here was that Buffalo would become a nationally important educational center, “the with the Berkely of the East” as many called it. Today Amherst campus half complete the University seems to be in a stagnage position. Of course, the culprit of all this is money. In the expanding era money for books, for was plentiful; today faculty lines, for offices departments fight each other for a small piece of a 'shrinking pie. “It’s much easier to be happy in an expanding institution,” Haspel from Economics said. “It’s not so when you are contracting. Today, everyone fights for money, both intra and inter departments.” — - - — - - Last resort The morale problem, members felt, may be lowering of the prestige of this University in academic circles.

And then why do these same super-macho men train even harder to compete in a contest where neither strength nor speed only appearance, are important a criterion usually reserved for feminine games? And who are - - these men? The Mr. Buffalo contest was held Sunday at Erie Community College’s building north has campus. undergone Body an increase in popularity in recent years, thanks in part to the popularity of muscleman Arnold Schwartznagger’s documentary Pumping Iron. Contest organizer Gary Wolen also credited the upswing to a new emphasis on health. Backstage, as the men drifted around in jogging suits and bathrobes, it was difficult to tell the contestants from the men who were practicing karate in a nearby film With the telltale muscles under cover, the body builders looked like any men getting a little exercise on a Sunday afternoon. gym. Health reasons The contestants could compete in three categories: Mr. Teenage Buffalo, Mr. Over-Forty Buffalo and Mr. Greater Buffalo. The man ranged in age from 16 year old Bob Bitmead to 47 year old Steve Lazzaro. Jerry Doettre! spent the minutes before his appearance in a bathrobe, black shoes and bikini, calmly watching the contest from the side of the stage. Thirty-seven year old Jerry was among the most experienced contestants, having won over 135 titles, including Mr. America. Doettrel echoed the reasons I’d been hearing all along for getting involved in body building. “I got into it for health reasons,” he said. “1 always wanted a good body and this is the only way to do it.” Jerry has been body building for 20 years. The over 40 group went on stage first. The six men were introduced by MC Wolen and then lined up side by side in front of the judges. lighting The technicians had an unflattering red spot on the men, so Wolen and ' members of the audience shouted directions to change it. A bright white light showed off the taut muscles, glistening with baby oil, to perfection.

This was their chance to bask in the glory and knew it, s When Wolen “Pose for the commanded, audidrice, gentlemen,” they did just that, turning and presenting their best parts withbyt the red faces and shaking limbs of the judging. As the audience filed out, Wolen exclaimed, “Body building is on the uprise in the Buffalo they area.” Mr. Buffalo, Wayne Hammond, got dressed without showering. “I feel perfect and super,’* said Hammond, who hails from Rochester and doesn’t believe in false modesty. “Body building is what I like the most; my body was cut out for it.” For Gary Glaser, the Mr. Teenage Buffalo contest, his first, was a dream come true. Glazer picked up a fifth place trophy and best abs, but said that even if he had come in last, it would have still been worth it. “This [body building) changed my whole outlook on life,” he said. “I feel good about my body.

Gardner is' he is an extremely prolific, extremely a big name popular writer, and no one would deny him serious critical attention, But. what does Gardner’s reputation stand forf Fitst, as a writer, Gardner preaches a kind of npive illusiooism (“when I rekd l should see pictures, not words”) that died back around the turn of the century; at the same time, Gardner fe'MigbVotttiy-opposed to any innovation in fiction. In abort, Gardner has severe limitation* as a teacher, of the serious strident writer in 1978. Second, Gardner supports his vested interests with a distorted version of literary history, transforming spokesmen for literary change like Joyce, James and Beckett by a propagandists sleight-of-hand into proponents of his own endeavors. Hence, Gardner limitations as a trainer of critical has judgements'Third, Gardner is a traditional moralist. Few people would argue that morality has no place in literature, but no one likes to hear morality legislated by figures in authority, which Jr what' Gardner does. According to Gardner: fiction must be when w* all know that literary about good people vice is more interesting and more educative than literary virtue; and fiction should make the reader “fall in love” with these good people to the extent that characters in fiction become role models for when our educations, if they have taught readers us anything, have taught us the formidable power of words to sway and prejudice passive, manipulate readers, especially when a writer makes claims to his own innocent wholcsomencss. Gardner’s prose is a lesson in this potentially insidious power; even anyone unfamiliar with Gardner’s fiction would have been able to tell from his Albright-Knox reading that Gardner’s conservative moralism disguises a covert racism (did you laugfr along at his fat black woman?) A and a covert sodsm (since when do you escape chauvinism by being oVcriy-protective of women - ; - - ■ - endearingly Lesso fhghty.ftbiikrtic women?) The English Department is hungry for a writer of Gardner’s stature because they need big names to bolster a sagging reputation. But along the way the EwgH«K Department seems willing to suspend its vaunted standards of intellectual commitment. The price could be heavy, dace Gardner will be in a position to control much of the literary activity here, and may even define a “Buffalo voice” through his proposed literary , magazine. If Gardner accepts the position, many of us will go into mourning. Yot| don't have to be a lover of John Barth to know that the spirit of adventure he helped represent has bees dealt another blow. ~ Once again one of the objective editors of The Spectrum wrote an article on this disgusting, occurance, gave Lessoffs view (two carefully selected, unfavorable quotes) verses line Baum and Dentils Delia’s martyristic sparkling points of view. OfCourse Jeff ended up on the bottom again. Why wasn’t the fact that Dennis Delia is on Sub Board included, so he secured his seat on the Board (which is chosen by thenew administration) be selling Jeff down the river. Delia was quoted saying that the removal of Lessoff was just the result of the orderly transition of administrations or some nonsense like that. Out with the old, in with the new. Well if it’s out with the (rid get Delia out first. His ideas are reeking with age (University Police carrying guns, etc.i Delia wasn’t elected to Sub Board, Lessoff was! Jeff Lessoff has the extra knowledge and insight into Sub Board by being elected Vice President for .Sub Board, chosen Division Director of U.U.A.B., and also Business Manager of U.U.A.B.

Once again The Spectrum did it, they slanted the artille against Jeff Lessoff. Well at this point I would like to make a comment to the Editorial Staff. Not only have you discouraged many good people that could have been an asset to student government, but you’be attempted to ruin and have ruined the interest and input of many people who are politically oriented. Jeff Lessoff and people like himself have so many things over the Editors, Brett Klein, John Reiss and Jay Rosen. It is included in the category of accomplishments. Mr. Lessoff was the main reason why there is a Doctor on the Amherst campus, he has also helped to improve the quality of Food Service by suggesting a seconds meal plan which was adopted. Jeff Lessoff also carried the load of Executive Vice President of S.A. in addition to bein Vice Pres for Sub Board when Andy Lalonde resigned unofficially, in November. I would be suprised if this letter i? prihtd, and if it is printed I’m sure it will be in some obscure corner of The Spectrum where noone will read it. But, If I’m LUCKY enough to get this letter printed on a choice page, where everyone can read it without sarcastic titles above it, without: paragraphs being cut, with every thing being spelled properly, (they have spelled Lessoff’s name in an assortment of ways, by accident, on purpose) Then The Spectrum will have finally taken their first objective and professional step and I congratulate them! So Mr. Klein, Mr., Reiss and best of all Mr. Rosen, instead of continuing vour hate campaign against Mr. Lessoff reverse it and offer a thankyou to him and people like him. An apology is also in order, but I guess we couldn’t expect a high class move from the staff of The Spectrum. Stephanie Freund Executive Vice President o/I.R.C.

I would like to strongly object to the firing of Jeffrey I esseff from the Board of Directors of Sub Board I, and the way in which i$ was done. Mr. � Ussoff has been in the student senate for three ard >ich leff of ion iyears, was division director of U.U.A.B., has been S A Vice President for Sub Board I during the past year and was elected by Sub Board as their Vice Chairman. He has always fought for Sub Board and the students it serves. By firing him, I hope the students of this University do not suffer, his ipjiwtid I also find it extremely offensive that a student government official can be fired without being given cauges and justification. Any student who has put time and effort into a position should be given precise and sufficient causes before he or she is removed. In student government, we must respect each other’s rights and feelings if we arc to serve the students effectively. David Hartzband S.A. Speakers Bureau Chairman ith 'ith elia leff Sub and mce h he He \Qood luck, Jeff To the Editor ,v v to his being removed as Vice of Sub Board, 1 think it amazing that Jeff Lessoff could get the shaft once again. Dennis Delia daims he was too bitter to be unbiased. Bullshit! Jeff’s biggest problem is the fact that he is outspoken. I was involved in SA one year ago so 1 do know a little bit about how things work. The SA Constitution is set up so poorly that it can be used by whoever is smart enough to manipulate it. It is interesting how no one will explain his “bad job’’ to Jeff. It is also interesting to know that this is the first time a removal has been done this way; I’m removing about the vice chairman talking immediately after the new administration (that’s not In regards Chairman B SO lohn y of compliment) comes into power (that’s not a compliment either). 1 hold nothing against you Ms. Baum, I just wish you luck in learning while on the job. Mistakes come easy in Student Government. I hope you are well trained enough not to make them. Jeff, please be aware that all of this shit has not gone by unnoticed. Student politics are the most sickening games that are played in the University. It’s unfortunate that people can’t be satisfied with cooperation or fairness, they act at if the whole world is out to screw them, and-especially screwed by those whose opinions are different. Good luck Jeff, and thanks for trying to do t • good job under ajl the fire! Lee Scott Penes i, he ood was 1 of bein onde Speculative government i cure To the Editor. ited lOUt they it of trum and Mr. >aign du to f rder, nove eund den t R.C Upon reading the article on Jeff Lessoff’s from hia-portion-'as'-Vice Chairman for Sub Board I found it difficult to believe that it was not a political move. Delia’s postponing of the vote on Lessoff’s resolution at such a crucial moment could hardly be construed as anything but political chicanery. The excuse that it was brought up to “impede the orderly transfer of office,” is speculative and his admittion that, under normal, i removal circumstances (Whatever those are), he would support the resolution leads me to believe that, either it was political, or, he killed a good sesolution on the grounds that the means of improving our student government are much too bothersome for him Either way, that ia no way to run any J, 0 government. • T:., . he didn’t think Lessoff could work with Jane is also speculative and “under normal circumstances” a person would have a right to prove, himself before being judged. Jane Baum’s statement that: “I’ve talked to a lot of people and found that this was not the dase” [that Lessoff’s work was crucial or that he was doing a good joblimplies that it was based on hearsay and not on a proper and thorough investigation and is therefore not overly “objective.” From the article 1 got the feeling that I was reading about the activities of a local bridge club and not a proper government of any sort. Lessoff has always had strong political views that should serve for the diversity and progressiveness of our student government. One does not remove an executive bees use one does not share his views. David A.

Each violent act perpetrated upon us is quickly answered by violence of our own. A tooth for a tooth I believe it is called. A vicious circle is created, and we are somehow drawn in. There seems to be no escape. It is clear that a call of the wild has been sounded, and now we blindly heed its call. In the Middle East, where there is a so-called cease fire and on-again off-again peace negotiations, terrorists have taken over the battlegrounds. Last weekend, eleven members representing the P.L.O. hijacked a bus filled with tourists inside Israel and blew it up killing twenty-five people aboard the bus. Many others were killed as the terrorists shot at passing autos and pedestrians from their vantage point on the bus. In all, 34 Israeli’s were killed and nine of the terrorists also were killed. The remaining two terrorists were captured. Even more barbaric than the taking of innocent lives, were the responses of those involved after the incident. The P.L.O. called the raid “a heroic operation aimed at ruining the Israeli-Egyptian peace initiative and opposing Israeli settlements in occupied territories.” Yasir Arafat’s Fatah guerillas continued the P.L.O. response by warning Israel that “the coming days will see more raids deeper inside Palestine.” Israeli Prime Minister Begin promised hit people and the rest of the world that the arm of evil will be cut off emphasizing the imminence of their revenge. “Those who kill Jews in our time cannot enjoy impunity,” Begin continued, vowing that Israel would eliminate this threat of terrorism. Begin’s vow was delivered quickly at an Israeli task force,, with an estimated 2S.000 soldiers, invaded Southern Lebanon and destroyed six PaleslnlSn bales. The number of casualties is expected to be high, but no estimation biuret been released. The world t feag, Jull revolution, and as it has been for many Thousands of yearvit reiBain* in motion as it pulls us in by its centrifugal force. It is becoming increasingly clear that the circle will always remain in motion until one side or the other decides to put a stop to it. In the mean time, Israel and the Arab countries will continue to trade victims. Israel, with the smaller population, must be much more devastating with their revenge just to survive. And the Arabs, with the far greater population, can afford the loss of a few of its people. If no one attempts to stop the motion of the circle, the end result will be total annihilation of either or both sides. If there is to be a survivor, it- will be the one who is willing to go to the greatest extremes. Whoever is better able to exercise an animalistic nature, without concern for their own welfare, and devastate the other, will survive. As we remain in the grasp of our primordial past, we remain bound by the first rule of nature where, as Jack London once wrote, “kill or be killed, eat or be eaten is the law.” We must obey it to the end, but don’t despair, the end will be so much sooner. sicn5 William G.

Ellis expanded on Oils theme, claiming that the reason why so many high ranking administrative positions are vacant is that candidates consider Buffalo as a last resort, (Currently, the University is searching for candidates to fill the positions of Director of Libraries, Dean of Graduate, Dean of Undergraduate, Provost for FSSA, and Provost for NSN.) Ellis added that. at present, the University has not come close to filling those positions from the outside. Haspel agreed. “The only people who are attracted to this University are those straight out of graduate school," he said. “There are a number of other places comparable to this University in quality with a better atmosphere for teaching. It seems that there is a staffing problem here, a sort of take what you can get atmosphere." Haspel said he would strongly advise his friends in the academic world not to come here under the present conditions. Othe; professors countered the claims of a lowering of prestige. Butler said, “Some departments have gone down, but others have advanced. This is normal for any school.” Yearly .said that this University is still comparable to there has others of its kind. “In the last two or three been a downward turn across the nation," he said. “This is due in part, to a nationwide retrenchment of faculty and a general destructuring of academics " No leadership lift Math Sciences Report was highly critical of the administration, claiming the “unsettled conditions were compounded by administrator* who, among other things, wetfeginsecure.’ ‘lacking in wisdom’ anj) ‘devoid of leadership qualities’.” Reaction to this indictment was mixed among the professors interviewed. It appears that a major faculty complaint is the almost total preoccupation of the administration with funding. “They placed exclusive emphasis on the building of the new campus," Ellis said, “and they haven’t done much else.” He added that Capen Hall does not offer any “real academic leadership" and is “poor on academic questions.” The primary link between the faculty and the central administration is the Vice-President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bonn. Professors in FSSA were hesitant to review Bum’s effectiveness. According to Haspel, Bunn took over leaving insufficient the job just a year and a half ago time to adequately review his performance. Levy added that Bunn has invested an enormous amount of energy in bringing some cohesion to the academic world at this University. “For whatever reason, there was massive disorder here before Bunn arrived. Perhaps the Math Sciences Report should have brought that out,” he said. Has the University Administration become insular, leaving the faculty with little input into the - ‘under no circumstances would I consider sending my child here, not with the three campuses, not with the Muses, not with the faculty and administrator’s feelings towards students.. decision-making process?Apparently, the faculty members that the depth of their role in policy-making depends upon the issue. On some issues faculty members are consulted while on others, such as budgets, they are not. According to History Chairman Yearly, the faculty’s lack of involvement in budget matters might be appropriate. “I don’t know if the faculty totally understand budgetary questions,” he said. of FSSA believe Research and teaching Provost Butler said the opportunity to contribute to the decision-making process is there for the asking. However, Jhe added, some choose to totally immerse themselves in research and teaching.instead of getting involved in the Faculty Senate, for example. Haspel, though, questions whether the administration seriously considers the Faculty Senate’s recommendations. “It has been my experience that the Senate’s suggestions are not followed by the administration,” he said. An example of this is the S/U grading policy question. Two years ago the Senate made a recommendation-which has not been followed for “phony reasons,” he claimed. Professor of Linguistics David Hays offered a different perspective. Hays questioned whether faculty actually seek out opportunities to involve themselves and improve the University. “Instead of thinking about intellectual things the faculty laments on the problems they are having,” Hays said. “If you believe conditions are bad, that is worse than If they are bad.” Hays also admonished the faculty for contributing to the low morale among their colleagues and the student body. Hays said that it is important at a University for faculty and students to interact, but here this interaction has been lost. “Professors are guilty of alienating students,” he observed. “The fault does not lie in a split campus situation but rather in the faculty not letting students know they are accessible.” Tailspin While the Math Sciences Report detailed the gloomy atmosphere of the present it did not discuss how the University will be affected in the future. Professors in FSSA all agree that an upturn can be expected, the question is how long will we have to wait. Butler and Yearly both agree that a brightening of the University environment is tied tightly to the economic situation. Others said they can’t predict how long the present tailspin will last. Finally, several of the professors indicated they would not consider sending their children to this University. It appears this ill-feeling is a direct result of Buffalo's shrinking prestige in academic circles. Also, mentioned as factors in their decision Were the problems of going to school and riding buses all day and the feeling that both facility and administrators don’t care much for students is the prime emphasis here,” said Haspel. “Teaching is of low priority when it comes time to review a professor. “Under no circumstances would I consider sending mychild here, not with the three campuses, not with the buses, not with the faculty and administration’s feeling towards students.

The Blood Knot, also performed by The Center, and Sizwe Banzi Is Dead, produced by Studio Arena, opened last season to excellent critical notices and warm audience response. In fact, repertory theaters across America are producing Fugard’s plays frequently these days, with the same favorable reactions. Fingard’s works, at least on the surface, deal with South African themes. He is one of the few overtly political playwrights to achieve any degree of popularity in commercial theaters, which is partly traceable to American political attitudes.

ALL HEARINGS WILL BE OPEN TO THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY problem as well as a constitutional problem. Whaf Fugard points out in his -work is that the legality of apartheid, though repugnant, is not as much a problem as the personal tortures people inflict on each other. Boeiman And Lena is the story of two hotnots, two brown (as opposed to black) South Africans. They find work in any town they pass through; they collect bottles for the few pennies deposit they bring; and they dig through the mud of swamps looking for prawns to sell to fischers. Boesman is a stubborn and silent rock of a man. Lena follows him through life, ten feet behind him and desperate for conversation. These two are in constant struggle with each other; and trying with all her might to make human contact while the <nher tries with all his might to avoid it. One night on the mudflats they encounter an ancient*kaffir, a black man. He is aged and ill and does not speak their language. Boesman and Lena battle over him. Boesman wants to send him away because the old man is a parasite; Lena wants him to stay because she * craves his company. The entire theatrical situation is reminiscent of Beckett and Pinter. We are presented with three characters, three dramatic forces (an introvert, an extrovert and a stranger) in a desolate spot. If is a situation whicl) described by the word alienation. Fugard goes his British contemporaries one better by setting his character in the social context of the real world. Audiences often excuse Beckett’s surrealism from their personal reality. Pinty's.plays show everyday life as filled with hidden and unavoidable menaces. Fugard wnlws inversely. The reality of Boesman And Lena is proved by newspaper accounts of the atrocities of apartheid. The lives of Fugard’s characters are blatantly horrible, and they try to carry on how’ever they can. Best of the season The production at the Pfeifer Theatre is a superior effort by the members of The Center Fpr Theatre Research. Sual Elkin directed this shining example of true theater with great ability. The pace seldom slackens during the course of the evening. The ensemble performance by the cast of three is no less than excellent. George Freeman portrays the Kaffir wonderfully. He truly is a bewildered, dying soul. Ed Smith plays the hardened Boesman with a drunkard’s grace his performance is taut and brooding. Lorna C. Hill is the spirit of life incarnate. She works and laughs and fights and dances her role with authentic energy. There is no finer acting currently in Buffalo than that of this company of players. The set and lights, designed by James J. Keller, deserve special mention. The environment of the lonely mudflats is evocative - and moody. This is probably the most exciting theatrical production of the season. Distressingly, Boesman And Lena has been playing to pitifully small audiences. The reason inadequate publicity, theatrical apathy, the remote location of the theater, whatever- is hard to discern. The play hardly merits such a lack of attention. Before you leave for Florida or Long Island this Easter recess, try to get yourself to the Pfeifer Theatre, 305 Lafayette corner of Hoyt, for this fine production of a play written by a master dramatists. - - Wednesday, 22 March 1978 .

Fulton qualified for the tournament by rolling a 191,7 average in the nine-game ACU-I regional in Binghamton February 10-11, good for a second place finish among the field of 85. Sandi Tice of Erie Community College (ECC) qualified immediately for the national tournament by virtue of her pace-setting 199.1 average in the regionals, while Fulton had to wail to see if she had earned a berth. “It’s a good opportunity,” said Fulton, who’ll compete against 22 other national qualifiers-. Fulton competed in the tournament two years ago in Denver as a member of the ECC team. Fulton took 12th in that tourney and was one half of the winning Doubles team.

Several weeks ago, Finelli became the first Bull ever to win the New York State Championship and he did it in not one, but two events. Last weekend, Finelli picked up another first he was named All-American, when he finished tenth in the 100 yard butterfly in the NCAA Division III nationals at Grinnell, Iowa. Finellfs time of : 53.1 was slightly slower than his time in the New York State Championships. However, his time in the 200 yard butterfly, 1:59.4 was good enough for a new UB record, even though he placed only fourteenth in that event at Grinnell. “Finelli did everything he should have done,” said Buffalo swimming coach Bill Sanford. “I'm just as proud as I can be.” Bull diver Michael Doran also cbmpeted at the Division 111 nationals, along with 45 other divers. Friday was the first day of competition in the nationals, and it was jlso Doran’s birthday However, Doran was eliminated after the first five dives. “Doran had a sprained ankle. He couldn’t quite get the height off the board, Sanford explained. Buffalo’s move to Division III has paid off this year for the swimming Bulls.

N.Y. 14217 �Good ball handling No Names capture ‘B’League by Tom Luzzi Staff Writer Spectrum The No Names emerged as the intramural basketball B league champions Sunday, after an impressive 70-48 victory over Control. The game ended in a run away, as the No Names captured the lead early in the first half, and maintained it until the final buzzer. Leading the scoring attack for the No Names was the hot-handed Mark Allen, who tallied 24 points. Glen Goller and Ron Krinz added to the offense with 12 and 9 points respectively. The first few minutes of the game were very competitive with the lead changing hands several times. Control came out on the court with a lot of enthusiasm and was definitely psyched to play. “We have a lot of heart, hustle from the fans, but although Control looked good at imtes, they failed to capitalize on many scoring opportunities. Before long the No Names began to pile up the points taking a 29-16 lead at the half. As the second half began, both teams traded basket for basket with the Control pressing hard, but the No Names simply would not yield to their attempt. Control pulled within 11 points with 7:20 left in the game but soon afterwards the No Names stretched the lead even farther. and determination,” commented Control captain Lou Krieth. Control’s momentum carried them in the early going but, poor shooting eventually led to their demise. The lead then changed hands several times with both teams playing aggressively. The No Names ran an organized offense and they executed their plays well. No Name stars Good ball handling and clutch passing by Jay Fieldstein* helped the No Names to get out front. The No Names began to pull away when Fieldstein passed to Drinz under the basket for two. Krinz was fouled in the act of shooting and turned it into a three point play, giving the No Names a 12-9 lead. Control’s Bob Whitaker blocked a No Name layup receiving shouts and applause Control loses control Control’s offense lacked organization and their poor shot selection was also responsible for their ineffectiveness. Dave Fishier was high man for Control with 18 points. The last few minutes were garbage time. Alien wore out the net, scoring 15 points in the last fen minutes. Captain Goher hit a 30-footer to ice the cake for his [ATTENTION: team. ATHLETIC CLUB SPORTS Budgets for 1978 - 1979 are due After ten regular season games and four playoff elimination games, the No Names can finally claim the B league title. “This was our best game," said Allen. “We had a so-so season, but today we put it all together.” i White Lightening strikes in A league championship No budgets will be accepted unless current update forms are on file in the S.A.

Weiss picked up a lot of layups, following passes or offensive rebounds, and he had 16 points at halftime. He was helped by forward Ed Skolnick, who had about 20 rebounds for the game (no official statistics were kept) and by center Roy Chipkin, who also muscled his way inside for plenty of rebounds and close-in shots.

Independence also profited from some strong inside work by reserve forward Joe Hamedl, who scored nine points during their comeback.

Then, Independence lost the ball out of bounds, and Weiss got open for a short jumper to ice the win. “We played a hell of a good game,” said a happy Silber after the game.

In , his announcements of the university’s action, King stated, “This move marks the limits of the university’s control over the fraternity.” He affirmed that the decision was a direct result of the events on February 24 and 25, to which the death of one student and the sickness of two others were attributed. King termed the whole affair “ireSsponslble and intolerable.” The withdrawal of university recognition will result in the complete ostracization of Klan by Alfred University. “Klan Alpine may no longer participate in university activities and may no longer be listed as a fraternity in university publications,” King explained. “Klan Alpine is forbidden to identify itself with Alfred University in the fraternity’s own literature, correspondence or emblem signs.” university’s Pan-Hellenic Council, a group of representatives from each university-recognized fraternity and sorority whose function is the establishment and maintenance of a good relationship between member groups. It is this “Greek group” that is supporting Klan through this affair. King, in an effort to set matters straight and prevent the Council from forming a coalition against him, addressed the group after the university had decided on the application of punitive measures in Klan’scase. “My intent was to indicate that what did occur was as far as the tragedy was concerned reflective on the total Greek system,” declared King. “I was not there to condemn them,” he continued, “but to encourage them to reflect on the purpose of fraternities and sororities on campus.” However, there is some hostility on the part of some houses over King’s decision to ban Klan. The group believes that the situation was used to make Taboo topic of university with the is a mark “Association an example ot the whole Greek system. As solidarity,” pointed out Roberta Nordheim, the demonstration of their unity, the same, icy “no ment” on the matter was given by each group Editor-in*Chief of Fiat Lux, the student' newspaper ■ at Alfred. “Thqj-e goes all their publicity.” King’s explanation went one step further. “The affect may DA investigation not be felt as much now as it will be next year when One student, Alfred University Security Chief they have to prove themselves financially able.” and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity member James Lacking publicity or backing from the university, Jackson, straddled the controversial issue. “I agree membership is likely to dwindle without the with the university’s action (withdrawal of addition of new recruits, thereby diminishing recognitionr acknowledged Jackson.“It was a revenue.

However, District Attorney George to comment on the conversation, information previously volunteered. Francis steadfastly refused Nordheim described the atmosphere as “extremely matter, and directed those involved with the case to touchy around here. It’s the kind of thing where do likewise. Ironically, it was but one and a half years ago, in most students regarded it as a taboo topic.” Nordheim reported that what voiced sentiment November 1976, when the decision was made by the there is among the students seems to be split into SUNY Board of Trustees to rescind the ban factions. -’Some students on the campus are solidly prohibiting fraternities and sororities on SUNY behind Klan, while others think Klan deserved what campuses, that another,, hazing-related death they got,” she said. “Meanwhile, the whole Greek occurred on a college campus in New York State.

A 72 point difference on the SAT math section between subjects and a 66 point difference on the verbal “statistically section is insignificant,” according to an ETS booklet. However, schools consider point differences to be highly significant when determining admissions. Admissions Director at Bowdoin College, Richard reported that of those students graduatmg summa cum laude. magna cum laude, and cum laude only 31 percent entered college with SAT scores above thejr class average. A 67 poiift difference oil the LSAT’s is also insignificant in determining one’s abilities, as ETS studies showed. The standard error of measurement for GRE’s is 32 for the verbal and 39 for the quantitative sections. 84 percent of the factors relating to success in graduate school cannot be determined, by GRE scores, ETS determined. Weighing standardized test scores as greater than academic progress, extracurricular activities and personal motivation is a common practice of University Admission boards. 'Ntw York’s Brill found that ETS scores are not only poor predictors of performance in schools but are economically biased. There is a direct correlation between family income and scores on tests, he stated. The exams seek the values and acquired skills of the upper middle class but do not measure aptitude as claimed. Such cultural biases are extended to particular regions. For instance, Northeasterners perform best on the exams, do Southerners the worst, Ironically, one of the original ideas for standardized tests by ETS was that the unanimity of present scores would discrimination. Apparently, the test designs have not achieved this. When IQ tests are adjusted to be culture-fair, a \V5% point increase is realized per individual. A 133 point difference is found in the mean scores on LSAT’s between black and white males, Extremely innovative students who read deeply into questions or who recognize subtleties can also be ETS victims. ‘The superfluous thinker is rewarded,” student lobbyists for New York Public Groups Interest Research (NYPIRG) claim, Brill said that 20 percent of exam questions are experimental only and do not count in the scores; yet time and thought is spent on them by students, Professor E.M. Hafner of the University of Rochester added that about 25 percent of the questions on a GRE in physics were defective. Nader claimed that standardized tests produce “multiple-choice lawyers” and implied that meticulous guessing judgements are employed, The Stanley Kaplan Company offers courses which coach students to become familiar with ETS exams. This coaching usually produces score gains of 50-100 points, demonstrating that the exams do not solely test aptitude, but also learned skills. The Associate Dean of Admissions at Yale University claimed that so ' Page fourteen The Spectrum Wednesday, . \ . 22 March 1978 much emphasis is placed on SAT scores that high schools now gear their curriculums towards performance on SAT’s. ETS is a not for profit, enterprise tax-exempt whose profits have doubled every five years since its start in 1948. It realized a profit of $4 million in 1974. The organization is not accountable to outside agencies. A former vice president of ETS admitted, “When someone from outside asks for any kind of information at all, we try to figure out why he wants it and if it can possibly hurt us.” ETS performs its own validity studies. This could be considered as analogous to a student grading his own exam. The College Board is contracted solely to ETS exams. Three years notice is required for cancellation of contract and member colleges are not allowed to see the contract. Nader reported that this is a violation of anti-trust laws and accused ETS of being America’s least accessible corporation worse than DuPont, General Motors and the — �•Jr CLASSIFIED , BE A DEVIL!

Workshops to bring students, community closer together by Denise Stumpo Feature Editor Roaches, leases, landlords, parking, pets, parties, all this and more can be garbage, the neighbors - yours when you move off campus. With this in mind, a groupof students, staff, and community people have designed a unique program to let students know what they can expect when living off campus, and what is expected of them. Participants in the April 5 and 6 presentations will include an on-campus student wishing to move off, an absentee landlord, a student who grew up in the University neighborhood, a resident landlord, an off-campus “transient” from downstate, a lawyer, an the and neighborhood, of elder resident representatives of the University Heights Community Center (UHCC). Each will talk on their impressions and experiences concerning off-campus life. “We hope that by hearing all sides of the issue, people will become more sensitive to the problems they will be dealing with. You’re not just signing a lease, you’re moving into a community,” said Heidi Lewis, former Director of Off-Campus Housing (OCH) and an organizer of the workshop. Slide show Featured will be a slide show illustrating the housing availability and conditions in the University neighborhood. Street maps and a history of the area will also be presented, along with a list of houses and apartments. “People have to be informed about what’s available so that they won’t, be trapped into -taking the first think that comes along,” stated llWM Several landlords have become notorious for their pay-thc-rent and don’t-bother-me attitudes toward student tenants. These same landlords continue to abuse students year after year because dorm residents moving off campus for the first time are usually naive. for attorney Tarantine, Linda staff Neighborhood Legal Services, will speak on oral vs. written leases, *"sub-letting, and security deposits. Former Director of OCH, Rich Weisbeck, will talk about the tenant-landlord relationship and problems that have been encountered, Weisbeck is also presenting the Life Workshop “One Man’s Ceiling,” “a less extensive, more concise program,” focusing mainly on legalities. Joining hands Student/neighborhood relations have not always been the best as a result of clashing lifestyles and stereotypes that have persisted through the 1 5 years that large numbers of students here have been moving off campus “The people at UHCC are really putting forth an effort to bridge the gap,” noted Lewis.” “Neighborhoods relationships are bound to improve Hopefully, this workshop will be an on-going process, held every year.” by Sponsored the Student Detffilopment Program Office, the pro-am will be presented on so that, all students have the opportunity to attend. Beginning at 7 p.m on April 5, the workshop will be held in-the Fillmore Room at Squire Hall and on April 6 in the Jane Keeler Room in the Core at the E\lipptt Complex. Refreshments will be served at the end of the two and one-half hour program. both campuses The Statewide boycott of the mandatory student health fee, could be a success and the State Legislature may repeal the fee according to sources in Albany. The fee does not cover health related expenses but rather goes towards the SUNY general fund. Student Association of the State University (SASU) Steve Allinger met with a member of Majority Leader Warren Anderson’s staff last week and disclosed that “there is an excellent chance the fee will be repealed.” The representative from Anderson’s office, staff person James Ruhl commented, “The health fee is a moot issue since it is obvious that in the regular budget that will be signed by the Governor, it will be repealed.” Buffalo SASU delegate Allen Clifford said, “It still doesn’t mean the fee will be repealed, but Warren Anderson’s block is the majority block.” Clifford, who remarlced that student leaders throughout the State were “thrilled by the news” claiming “it just shows what can be accomplished when students work together. Finally, we stood together on an issue.” He attributed the possible repeal of the fee to the tremendous pressure that legislators received in Albany from the massive letter-writing campaigns and health fee boycott cards. SASU representatives at this University have been collecting pledge cards from boycotters since the beginning of the semester. In the meantime, according to Clifford, Assemblyman Perry Duryea has issued a statement that his staff is working on a reimbursement proposal for those students who have already paid. Clifford said that the proposal “is a nice thought, but unlikely.” More information will be known next week,he declared. Permanent ID card distribution begins Permanent student ID cards will be issued by the Admissions and Records (A&R) office all week beginning today. The new cards, which will be required by the University libraries as of this weekend, are the final step in the protracted hassle that began in the fall when students discovered the ID card lacked room for signatures and birthdates. The new cards include a space for both. Ten students have been hired to distribute the cards this week. University Police has also trained six officers in a special procedure scan legaT documents for accurate birthdate information. University Police Captain Jack Eggert estimated the cost to the force approximately $320. Six to eight students will be hired the week of April 3 to continue in the new ID card distribution. However, students who are interested in including their birthdate on the card., will have to go to the University Police Office on Millersport Highway for validation, if they wait until after vacation to pick up their new ID. used to Meets with opposition NYEA bargainsfor contract with SUNYfaculty by Brad Bermudez Campus Editor of the New Association York Educators (NYEA) are continuing to push at this and other State University Centers to become the bargaining agent of some 15,000 faculty members, despite objections by SUNY and the State Office of Representatives (OER) officials. Last Wednesday, a temporary restraining order was issued by a special terms court in Albany, granting the NYEA the right to campaign legally on SUNY campuses until March 27. At that time, a formal hearing will be held to make a permanent decision. Employee Relations According to OER Guidelines, a challenging union may begin to campaign 90 days prior to the incumbent union’s challenge period. The challenge period of the current SUNY bargaining University agent, United 1, Professions, begins August setting the start of the prescribed 90-day campaign period on May 1. The NYEA accepted the OER rules and was therefore granted a listing of the names, addresses, and other information necessary to gain access to UUP members. NYEA officials, later claiming that the 90-day campaign period is an unreasonable application of OER rules, met with Director of OER Donald Wollett February 15 and urged that the rule be —Jenson Donald Wollett, OER Director to allow NYEA to campaign before May 1. Large numbers of faculty will not be amended present on SUNY campuses during the months of June and July the NYEA claimed, thus any efforst would be campaign ineffective. Request denied Wollett denied the NYEA’s request to be granted the right to campaign it early, maintaining that would be unfair to other interested parties to change rulings which have been “applied uniformly” to other unions for the past three years NYEA took its case to the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) in Albany Because of the lengthy court procedure, union officials decided to pursue other legal channels to gain access NYEA campuses. to SUNY Director of Communication John Dornan said, “Through a PERB hearing, we couldn’t get a ruling until mid-April which would only give us two weeks before May 1. We wanted to reach an agreement cutting down the hearing time so we decided that the courts would be the only answer.” With the restraining temporary order, NYEA officials will disregard the OER ruling and will continue to campaign at SUNY campuses throughout the state in an effort to gather the 5,000 signatures necessary to be granted an election by PERB. The NYEA currently has over 3,700 faculty upon, they shouldn’t be allowed last year, the UUP has collected $1.7 million in dues from the According to Doman, the UUP played a vigilante role on SUNY campuses. “On virtually all campuses throughout the state, more than 10,000 non-UUP Gibson responded, members. “The Agency Shop Law is not that the something UUP campaigned for. Warren Anderson through the got the law Legislature the without consultation of UUP or the New York State United Teachers, a UUP affiliate. To NYEA claims that there is widespread faculty dissatisfaction with the UUP, responded, Gibson “Some dissatisfaction is to be expected with the large number of faculty in the whole SUNY system.” Gibson expressed anger over NYEA’s apparent distortion of data. “With the slightest effort at being honest, they would have accurate facts and figures. Their actions are utterly unbecoming of people who claim some University status.” on campus.” has the UUP has issued some kind of statement restricting our efforts. It to be impossible to got campaign on some campuses. The restraining order this,” Dornan said. will change, Gibson further objects to what he calls false claims made by the NYEA in its campaign efforts. The challenging union claimed that only 4,500 of a possible 15,000 SUNY faculty members belong to UUP. “This number is inaccurate our quite membership at present is well over 7,000,” Gibson asserted. The NYEA also contends that through the Agency Shop Law passed by the State Legislature signatures. Vigilante force Buffalo Champter of UUP President R. Oliver Gibson and SUNY Vice for Chancellor Faculty and Stpff Relations Jerome Komisar have requested that NYEA representatives be escorted off this campus by the police until a final campaign ruling is made Said Gibson, “The contention that the ruling is unfair is between the NYEA and the OER, but if they don’t abide by the rules which they agreed Editor wanted Applications for the position of Editor in Chief of The Spectrum are now being accepted.

Lip pci who has held the contract for two years called the requests for bids “insulting” and claimed the advertisements in the Buffalo Law Review for the Sub Board attorney’s position were to his damaging “porfessional reputation.” The lawyer told the Sub Board Board of Directors Thursday night that the Board has not conveyed any dissatisfaction with his work and that the innual soliticiation of bids is almost “unheard of” in a lawyer-client relationship. Lippes is among those Who have expressed interest in next year’s contract which begins September 1. His experience with student governments is expected to iw decided advantage over other lawyers When the Board begins to evaluate the bids in May. Sub Board largely on the initiative of Treasurer Dennis Black decided last month to go “I don’t know how justified that is," Black said. “I’d like to see what other firms have to say on that.” Board member Michael Sartinsky agreed and assured Lippes, “I don't think this is a expressing way veiled of dissatisfaction with your performance.” The bidding issue was brought up Thursday night by former SA President Dennis Delia (still a member of the Board) who wanted to reconsider last month’s decision. Delia had become convinced that any change in law firms at this time would be seriously debilitating for the - - - - cause. “Historical in the issues is crucial,’.’ said Delia. “Right now we have terrible problems in student continuity. To lose this student background Dennis Black, Sub Board I Treasurer —Jenson through the bidding procedure for what is this year a S22.500 contract. Black believes the attorney contract should be put up to bids so the Board can be assured it’s getting, the best legal service for a fair price. Black said last year’s contract was “rushed” and ' {hat-|he’a* beIn “uncomfortable with the 122,500 figure ever since," having nothing professional continuity would be really bad.” Delia also suspected that most Board members already had their minds set on keeping Lippes. Tl)is, he felt, was deceptive to the lawyers who have expressed interest in the Sub Board contract. “1 think you’re leading these guys into thinking they have —continued on p. Unprecedented move SA budget hearings open to the University In an unprecedented move, the Student Association (SA) Financial Committee has opened to the University community budget hearings that will determine next year’s funding of student organizations. The Financial Committee receives budget requests from approximately eighty SA organizations and must decide how to appropriate the $840,000 collected from mandatory student activity fees. Of that money, almost $247,000 will automatically go to an athletics budget because of a current four-year binding contract and approximately $300,000 will be allocated to Sub Board I, Inc. the student corporation that acts as a dispursing agent for SA. The student organizations are divided into six categories hobby groups, international clubs, academic clubs, special interest and organizations, SA officers and coordinators, service groups Sub-Board. Each group will be given a brief time period to justify budget requests. The Financial Committee is composed of SA Treasurer Fred Wawrzonek and three representatives from each of the SA Task Forces Academic Affairs, Student Affairs and Student Activities and Services. After the ten members have determined a budget, the Financial Assembly will vote on the proposal. If the Financial Assembly doesn’t approve the proposed budget and no decisipns are reached before the end of the semester, then the SA Executive Committee will be delegated the responsibility for determining a budget. Financial Committee member Lew Rose said previous administrations had felt that open meetings would prevent the Committee from proceeding orderly. He explained that fears of opening meetings included: that the clubs could try to intimidate the Committee; meetings could be disrupted and the phrasing and type of questions may be limited. In spite of these factors, the Committee believed it would be better to hold open meetings “as long as it could still function effectively,” according to Rose. “The burden is on students and dubs to keep the meeting open,” he said. -DanielS.

Domingo Rivera, charged with the murder, has pfeaded not guilty to the charges of second degree murder and possession of a weapon, and is currently being.held without bail. Rivert,' who lived in the Wiihason Quad, was also found mentally competent to stand trial;' according to a preliminary psychiatric report. The report, ordered by Amherst Town Justice Sherwood Bestry, revealed that Rivera fully understood the charges against trim. He may also undergo more psychiatric tests later this month, v In a related development, the Buffalo Evening News reported last week that Rivera stated to officers investigating the case that he wished to talk to Cordero’s brother Tito, who had been visiting Daniel from New York. Tito, however, had already returned to New York at the time of his brother’s death. According to the News, students had stated that Rivera felt he musl talk to Cordero’s brother because of “dreams” he was having. Cordero was allegedly stabbed with a pair of scissors by Rivera on March 5th. Bleeding profusely, he was pulled from his room by several students while Rivera was held until University Police arrived at the scene. Cordero died later that afternoon in Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital. Oral argument will be heard on March 29 on the case of former exiled Vietnam War resister Bruce Beyer at 2 p.m. in the United Courthouse. Stated Federal Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark who is representing Beyer has filed two motions concerning a pre-sentencing report and a possible dismissal to be discussed then. Beyer’s controversial story involves his draft resistance to the Vietnam War: the 1968 symbolic sanctuary he took ih the Unitarian Universalist Church on West Ferry, and his consequent exile, after trials and sentencing*,, to Sweden and Canada. Beyer ended his seven year exile on October 20, 1977 when, in the presence of 150 or so sympathizers and the media, he crossed the Peace Bridge and entered the United Contributing Edi tor > Questioning apartheid: the college response Staff Writer .Traffic moved slowly through Vanderbilt University in Nashville, which inching through the campus Tennessee. One of those cars will host the Davis Cup tennis match between the United States and South Africa carried the simple message, “Untie Apartheid.” A black man, pacific and neatly dressed, walked against that traffic carrying a picket sign reading, “Down with the white minority police state.” Across the nation, student protest against apartheid is swelling forcing university administrations to re-evaluate their ties to the South - Although arrested by agents upon entering the country, Beyer was released his own on recognizance by Federal Circuit Court Judge John Curtin soon Charles Haviland Spectrum States. — afterwards until the time of a trial. While charges for draft evasion have been dropped, he still faces an assault conviction for incidents which occurred at the church sanctuary. Beyer was at that time sentenced to two, three-year concurrent terms. - - African nation. “AfteT several years of conspicuous quiet, the New York Times recently reported social activists on the nation’s college campuses have found an is$uc-to stir the social consciences of their fellow students.” That issue is apartheid, the formal label for the official policy of racial segregation in South Africa. “The protests are interpreted as a return to social activism by a college generation otherwise notable for its preoccupation with grades and job hunting and as a tapping of a continuing social concern that simply lacked a catalyst,” stated the March 15th article. Divestiture Demonstrations have been planned and executed from “Smith to Stanford” the Times reported, although some of them have not been as peaceful and orderly as the one at Vanderbilt. Last spring 58 students were arrested at the University of California at Berkeley after an eight hour sit-in. The incident at Berkeley followed a much bigger demonstration that made national news last May. At Stanford University 294 students were arrested at a Stanford sit-in in what the Times called the first major demonstration after a decade of sporadic protests against apartheid. The segregation issue is not the only wellspring of the social unrest on college campuses. American corporations are doing business in South Africa leading to considerable debate between students and trustees, on whether colleges should divest their investments in such companies. The Times reported that three universities, two private and one public, have sold stock of corporations dealing in South Africa. The University of Massachusetts and, Hampshire College, both in Amherst, have divested their investment portfolios of such corporations. The University of Wisconsin on the recommendation of the State Attorney General has sold $8 million of shares of 16 corporations. Holding the shares would violate a 1973 law that prohibits the university to invest in corporations that discriminate.. — - Yale conference planned Some colleges, rejecting the idea of wholesale divestiture, have reasoned that what’s needed is not evacuation from foreign business to influence South Africa’s policy of apartheid and other schools claim that economic measures would halt the black population more than it would ease racial problems. On the other hand, some colleges have taken a middle-of-the-road approach. Columbia, Princeton and Cornell Universities, along with Smith College, 'have written letters to chief executives of different corporations asking for their attitudes and perceptions of the apartheid problem. Cornell has requested various companies such as Coca-Cola, Xerox, and General Electric to “work for the improvement of the majority in South Africa.” Some observers see the South African issue as merely a vehicle for moving politically, stagnant students. The Times quoted Brian Fay, a University in Middletown, professor and trustee at Connecticut, “The South Africa issue is the most vocal, visible and unifying one in terms of bringing together groups of students since the Vietnam War.” All this concern has prompted Yale University to invite more than a dozen New England colleges and universities to a conference on the subject of apartheid. Scheduled for the first weekend in April, the conference, will enable students to view films, participate in workshops and witness speakers. - - Report questioned The first motion questions a The second motion involves the issue of wnefhor the judge could reduce or dismiss sentence. Beyer Stated that uliiuii the dismissal report was arigUlBy proposed by government presented a 15-page response opposing it.” >1^ The decision of whether Curtin has jurisdiction is crucial to the hearing. If made that day, Beyer’s trial could then also be resolved, although he believes, “the judge will probably reserve a decision.” Beyer objects to information he has received of plans involving his intended imprisoitment upon his surrender last fall. The reportedly government -had received an order from Popular Control Federal Prisons to place Beyer in the Lewisburg Prison of Pennsylvania. Beyer commented, “Lewisburg is a maximum security prison,” to which he added that his convictions did not require such a facility. The Committee for Beyer’s Defense is sponsoring a fund raising wine and cheese party on the evening of the 29th at.5:30at the Unitarian Universalist Church at 695 Elmwood Avenue. The event will include three speakers, the first of whom will be Gerry McCarthy, a Vietnam War veteran and poet reading excerpts from his book of poems War Story. He will be followed by Ramsey Clark and Beyer.

Wednesday, March 22, at 2 pm Haas Lounge, Squire Hail f, This University’s open-admission Summer Sessions Program offers students the opportunity to complete a degree or pursue study in a field of interest in the comparative calm of hot, humid, rainy and mellow summertime in Buffalo. According to Summer Sessions Director James Blackhurst, the projected summer enrollment for 1978 is 9000 undergraduate and most students graduate students. Stating that within four participate in the program at least once, Blackhurst added that through it, “better than one in five undergraduate degrees are completed.” According to Blackhurst, plans are constantly formulated to improve the program. This year, as an experiment, mail registration is being offered in addition to the customary “on-line” process. “This eliminates lines and affords personal attention to the student,” he said, adding that there is a five-dollar fee to compensate for the expense of a newly constructed computer terminal Specifiying that plans for inter-campus buses were not definite, Blackhurst said, “We’ve considered an express bus which would run directly from Main Street to the Academic Spine on Amherst and thus eliminate travel around the dorms.” There would also be an “internal bus” making connections throughout the rest of that campus. Many advantages Besides the usual year-round course offerings, there are many special programs being implemented for the summer. Mentioning two "archeological digs.” Blackhurst cited a course entitled “Introduction to Field Archeology” through which students will be working on a sight within commuting distance of the University. Ezra Zubrow, formerly of Stanford University, will be teaching this course. Also offered will be a Geology field study which will start in May. Students enrolled in this course will travel from Utah and move through the Rocky Mountains eventually ending in Wyoming. “Many programs that can be done in the summer are not possible during the fall or spring semesters,” Blackhurst offered. He explained that the nature of the summer program is unique, not only because of weather advantages, but also because intensive or concentrated study can be done on a subject of interest as students are not required to take more than one course. Referring to the Summer Sessions successful,” Blackhurst as “very said he receives frequent comments about the “friendly atmosphere” characteristic of them. He attributed this to the fact that the small classes meet daily. “A student spends a major part of his morning in two classes. Through this more cohesive social units are formed,” he said, explaining that a session will last for 75 minutes. The coordinators have also planned 25 minute intervals, between classes to allow for “commuting or socializing.” No matter where you’re coming from, you’re just a few stops from "Infinity.” Journey is the group that's going to take you there, with ten new songs and a new member, too Lead singer Steve Perry joins the talented combination of Neal Schon, Gregg Rolie, Aynsley Dunbar, and Ross Valory. Together they make a sound thick with melody and mystery. Lose yourself with this Journey. And find "Infinity" New. from Columbia Records and Tapes. Friendly atmosphere Said Blackhurst, “We expect the Amherst Campus to be livelier this year Courses are heavily centered at the new classrooms near the undergraduate library out there.” He added that coordinators are working w'ith a number of “units” within the University to create social acitivity programs. “We’re planning bookfairs andoutside food service, as well as working on Orientation,” the director said, adding that UUAB will sponsor programs, while The Spectrum will be published onece a week. Additionally, the Division of Continuing Education will sponsor a number of converences and credit free programs. Blackhurst concluded that Buffalo’s “fine summer climate” hopefully would enhance the planned activities. The director referred to this University’s Summer Session as “one of the biggest programs in the country.” $tating that students from other schools participate in it, he added, “Other Universities offer mostly freshmen and sophomore courses, whereas we spend 70 percent of our budget on upper level offerings.” For the 9,000 students expected to enroll in the program, 450 500 of the University’s regular faculty members will be kep on in addition to new recruits Teaching Assistants, and visitors such as reknowned architect Buckminster Fuller. Having existed regularly since 1 922, the program consists of three six-week sessions; June 5 July 14, June 26 August 4, and July 17 August 25. Courses are scheduled between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. and offer the standard four credits. - Produced by Roy Thome* Baker • •tOlUMMA.

Page five �EDITORIAL ID, ID, ID, ID Openings denied ... A most banal subject for a Monday morning is the disposal of the old plastic-coated, once controversial enough to riot over, ugly, admittedly useless ID card, in new, improved IQ cards with room for date of birth and signature. We are allowed today through Friday to go to Harriman Library on Main Street Campus to get these new wonders if anyone is interested in getting them, that is. With dnly a morith and a half left in regular season play, the whole affair seems very pointless. But, in the week that follows vacation, the special team University of Police in Harriman this week to verify birth certificates and the like for correct dates of birth will no longer be on hand, but back at headquarters along a stretch of Miilersport someplace. This means that during this busy week of midterms and long papers* a time when many will leave early for home and a most welcome vacation, students must wisit on line to get new, real ID cards, with a signature to cash checks and a date of birth to drink liquor. These new. improved models will also allow us to use library resources immediately after vacation... So, although the whole effort is a waste of time and a grand product of middle level inefficiency, it suddenly becomes more, interesting and less funny. Students will be able to get new cards after vacation, but fewer workers will be processing them. Obtaining a card with date of birth will take two trips, one to Police Headquarters, not served bv inter campus buses. One point made last semester in this column was that as some functions on campus did require proof of identification, it was the administration's responsibility, specifically Admissions and Records, tp provide that proof on the ID card. Now the responsibility after this week has been passed over to students, who should not be forced to waste their time on such a trivial and time consuming procedure that, until this year, was never a problem. And although University Police volunteered to inspect the validity of birth dates at its own expense, and should be half-heartedly commended for doing so, why is it the only group of bodies on campus capable of doing such validation work? The Office of Admissions and REcords should find at least a couple of people to provide the same service after vacation and the libraries should continue to use the by now accepted worthless cards as identification. The current situation could set a precedent for seasons to come; one day Sheriff's ID cards will be the norm, students will need passes to go to the bathroom, engineering licenses to shuttle between campuses, and notes from their mothers to eat off board contract. Think a second about this small matter and take care of it quickly, before it becomes so small that it disappears — ~~ ... originally instituted because of numerous complaints from faculty, staff and students of being solicited for political, sales or contributory activities. While this is not a major problem at this time, it once was and has only been curtailed by the rejection of these types of mailings.

So the University Community can sleep soundly without fear of the Campus Mail tonight Department’s grubby hands and beady eyes opening and reading their letters. was To the Editor Well, as usual, the March 13, 1978 article in The Spectrum on the Campus Mail Department was very predictable and a good example of the negative, half-truth type reporting that has become the trademark of The Spectrum. First, let me state that this reporter was specifically told by me that individual campus mail letters between faculty, staff and students are never stopped, opened or read by Campus Mail Department personnel; they are delivered without delay.

The machine clatters on, it’s rhythm belying the feast-or-famine flow of words. The play is drama and tragic comedy melted into metaphor, cast into type, pressed onto paper and delivered street sign and all into mind. It is what you read here. - - The playwright finds himself weaving the Court Jester’s scenes into his Own life. He picks up the Court Jester’s lines and stage prescence and spends more and more time in the theater for it is the theater where the Court Jester becomes king. The playwright hides in the stinging mist of the Court Jester’s acrid aire. When the footlights beam through the haze and the curtain rises, it is the playwright peeking out like a frightened child from behind his character’s velvet cape. The playwright becomes captivated by his own creation. The Court Jester’s rise continues on and the playwright is hesitant to stop it. Each week he writes another scene and the Court Jester dominates every one cajoling about with a cockiness and swagger that begins to annoy the other subjects. Though the playwright truly enjoys his creation, the fading of his own personality knaws at him like a dull, unplaceabfe pain. At tipies he considered killing off his character but the majestic hire of the footlights and the simmering image of the Court Jester on the throne keeps him riveted to the typewriter and caged in his character’s frenzied world. The whirlwinds of success bring to the Court Jester more than laudatory inkings. His lines become increasingly caustic at the expense of those around him and, as his act becomes familiar, the pressure to carry it to the extreme mounts. He begins to perform to the audience’s expectations and the audience expects heavier and heavier doses. Meanwhile, the playwright’s own life spiraling crazily along with his character’s' is incomplete. It dawns on the playwright that he created the crazed Court Jester in a false image of himself. That image, pounding relentlessly in his mind to the frantic beat of the Court Jester’s career, is filled with emotional voids and protected by layers of assumed confidence. - — TltylM Vd. 28, No. 09 - Monday, 20 March 1978 Editor-in-chief Minting Editor - Brett Kline - John H.

The playwright does not weave a character into his plays but rather his plays into a character a glib, self-assured, never-ending character well call N the Court Jester. The Court Jester has been given a domineering personality all his own. He is self-assured, quick witted and aggressive with his audience. He is arrogant, sarcastic and driven by his role. He’s an aerosal can of backhanded comments and double entendre, spraying bursts of himself at anyone in bring range. The Court Jester enjoys the scripts the playwright drafts, immerses himself in the plots, and thrills to each rise of the curtain. Though he revels in the applause he takes his bows uneasily. Yet, the plays, to him, are one relentless search for the spotlight seeing the name in the playbill is not enough. The Court Jester if he could would assume every role, design every costume and take center stage every night. He to consumed by the theater. He is a fanatic. But while the Court Jester gets glowing reviews and becomes well known, the playwright languishes off stage, night after night, watching the production. Almost no one knows him. His writing’s polished his life into sterling silver after twenty years of stainless steel, but it glitters unseen to most. His created character the Court Jester a so teasingly successful and now so completely overshadowing that the playwright has been forgotten. It is assumed that the Court Jester has existed forever. , - - - - - — — - So it’s night, the theater is blackened and the blinks unseen.

I have discovered the source from which flows all of the iniquitous discontent that sorely ravages this University community. None other than The Spectrum. Yes, The Spectrum. I admit that the reporting is good. The graphics are splendid. The editorials are interesting. The serpent makes its home elsewhere; the distribution. Today, I saw a beautiful cherubic woman, all smiles, gaze at the pile of The Spectrums next to the Diefendorf entrance. Little did she know the torment that she was soon to undergo! First she tugged. Then she ripped Then her eyes turned red in startling contrast with her white lacy outfit. With the fury of an angered bear she wrestled with the immovable yellow ribbons that separated her from the glory of information. The crowd cleared the area, standing back, frightened by this marrow-curdling struggle. Finally, alter several minutes, she gave up, and left. Only now she was not the same. The angel turned into a battering ram, utterly leveling all in her way, including me, as the footprints on my face will attest. I truly think that this is a problem that should be dealt with the most extreme rapidity, even before the four course load review Robert Basil Yogurt on the bus To the Editor Dear Yogurt Man, 1 would appreciate it if you could put spoons in every slot of the automatic vending machines that (especially strawberry) in dispense yogurt Diefendorf.

We disagree with his reasoning (The Spectrum, March 15) that support should be cut off because the Chicago ACLU voted to defend the right of Skokie Nazis to parade. Look at it this way: the First Amendment protects free speech. What do “limited resources” of the ACLU have to do with the protection of free speech? What does the “avowed, purpose: of the Nazi group have to do with the First Amendment? What does the ad hominem argument of personal suffering by ACLU leaders have to do with the First Amendment? Nothing. Nothing at all. The ACLU does not defend people against by Lee Taylor Member, Graduate Student Anociation The Graduate Student Association (GSA) reaffirmed at a February Senate meeting its belief in the right of graduate students, as members of academic departments, to have an active role in the decisions and policy-making processes of their departments. This concept of student involvement in departmental governance has been a major goal of GSA in the past, but only recently has the commitment to the goal metamorphasized into concrete action. campaign was initiated to A petition demonstrate to the University Administration that graduate students insist on being ensured their rightful place weith faculty and administration in making decisions which affect the very essence of education at the University. The petition reads as follows: ACLU To the Editor. Guest Opinion criminal charges such as arson or murder. Rather, the ACLU defends the Bill of Rights for all, including the odious, the dangerous and the despicable. We want to recruit members for the ACLU now, when terrorism and violence are used deliberately to serve political ends and to weaken free nations. As Aryeh Neier, National Chairman of the ACLU, said recently about the Skokie case, the protection of a free society is a delicate and complex process. The ACLU leaves police work to the police, leaves the law to the courts, and leaves the defense of the Bill of Rights to its membership. Any person who wishes to join the ACLU may obtain a membership application from us Old members, stand fast!

Rei To ti Regan’s fears are justified speculation: industry could move out of Erie County because of an increase in county property taxes (or other taxable revenues) needed to help pay the probable deficit for NFTA’s rapid transit project. He is calculating how much money we currently spend, and what an increase will mean. Fifty percent of the $113 million budget immediately goes for welfare and medicaid, and to incure a 25 percent share of the rapid transit deficit (that figure not yet estimated), it’s probable he’ll lash out a tax to pay for it. Regan further thinks that industry might say sorry, ao more! Therefore, county opposition to rapid transit, at least so far. I can’t help feeling that we’re underestimating something , . . such as the magnitude of possible benefits for Buffalonians of the future. Congressman Jack Kemp has expressed what seems a clear understanding of these possibilities. As quoted by the Courier Express (Feb. 24th), the Light Rail Rapid Transit (LRRT) project could very well be part of Buffalo’s “long-term economic, environmental and sociological enhancement” strategy. “We are talking about a balanced from work, for the elderly to be more mobile, and to give our young people access to educational and job opportunities.” Also, for the inevitable commercial development along the 6.5 mile line. Kemp further states, “Now is the time to begin if we are going to have a rapid transit system ..." 1 believe if we deny the building of this project, we deny Buffalo a chance for a great re-urbanization project; one that is future oriented, and been in the makings for 10 years. One that could rebuild the vacant, boarded store-fronts of Main Street. Fifty years ago, implementing the building of city hall was considered reactionary and extravagant for city government, yet today it is one of Buffalo’s prize possessions. Buffalo nas a good chance for national significance in the future. It will have one of the largest universities in the world (if completed), possess historical magnificence, and have entered the rank of those cities that have displayed “environmental and sociological” foresight by building projects like NFTA’s Light Rail Rapid Transit. The concept of student governance is not new, nor has it been kept in hiding from the University Administration. The President’s Advisory Committee on TA’s and GA’s (Bunn committee) included, as one of its recommendations last September, a clause and aimed specifically at evolving mechanisms for mandating that every department allow and accept graduate students as voting members on all academic committees. The Administration’s commitment to make these recommendations become realities is unclear. Vice President for Academic Affairs, Ronald Bunn, was evasive when questioned as to when these proposals would be implemented. President Ketter, although expressing concern for the cause, has not yet gone on record in support of requiring student input, nor does he seem willing to mandate it to all graduate departments. However, it is within his powers, as President, to do so. Despite obvious delays in implementation, the GSA is pushim, forward stronger than ever, to get the University Administration to see the seriousness and immediacy of the issue. Petitions were distributed tc every GSA Senator, with the request that they be returned as soon as possible, to the GSA office. It is each Senator’s responsibility to circulate the petition among all students in their department, in order to get the campaign down to the grassroots level. If you have not yet had the opportunity to sign, please call the GSA office at 636-2960 for assistance. The need exists, the time is now. Mark Francis Schwab Monday, 20 March 1978 . The Spectrum . Page seven �Death penalty pros Areas of Library to close Prior to the move of Lockwood (Abbott) Library to the Amherst Campus, the collections are being Tattle Taped. As a result, certain areas of the building will be inaccessible to library users beginning March 27. Limited paging service will be available, but to avoid delays it is strongly recommended that users charge out, where possible, materials that they require prior to that section of the building being closed. Dates for closing specific sections will be posted on the front door of Lockwood Annex. and cons weighed On Saturday, March 25th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. a conference on the death penalty will be held at St. Luke’s AME Zion Church on 314 B. Ferry. The conference, organized by “Citizens to Correct the Criminal Justice System" and 16 other community groups opposed to the death penalty, is free and open to the public. Professor Bruce Jackson of the University of Buffalo, author of books On prisons and prison life, will give the main address. In addition, there will be workshops, a movie on the death penalty and a panel discussion Vith Assemblyman Arthur Eve and Rev. Robert San<Mrs..%?4'-';->-.j.'. The conference, entitled “The Death Penalty vs. the Poor,” has been organized to raise public opposition to the revised death penalty bill sponsored by Sen. Dale Volker of Depew and Assemblyman Vincent Graber of West Seneca. The Assembly will vote orf the bill sometime this week, and it is fairly certain that it will be approved. Govenor Carey has promised to veto the bill, but because of much pro-capital punisilment.sentiment among the legislators and the public, the Assembly and Senate will probably override his veto. The bill Will allow for a sentence of death for what is described as “intentional first-degree murder.” Approxiniately 2,000 murders are committed each year in New York State. Of these, about 10 percent of the murderers are actually convicted. According to Sen. Volker, the new death penalty law would apply in S0-7S percent of the cases. This means the possibility, if the bill is passed, that 100-150 people would be executed each year. Studies show that minority and poor people from death penalty legislation because they cannot afford suffer. an adequate defense. Deputy Minority Leader of Brooklyn Emmanual Gold said, “We don’t have the right to become barbarians because there are other barbarians on the streets.” Far more information, about the conference and the death penalty legislation, call the American Civil Liberties Union (883-0946) or Rev. Don Armstrong (886-2634). vs u HR - y, April 8th at 7:30 pm The last • of the season game Free buses to & from the game A free party after the game, • • with a live band & refreshments And ONE DOLLAR OFF ALL SEATS tickets available at The 355 Squire- 031-5455 S ECTI^UM FVS closes Squire section The Squire second floor cafeteria is no longer open to Food Service Contract students, because too few students participated in the program. It was closed February 6 because the program didn’t cover the operating costs, according to Director of Food Service Donald Hoise. “We were having a tough time meeting this year’s projection and this closing will save S6,000 this year and $18,000 next year,” said Hoise. Hoise attributed the financial problems to labor costs and overstaffing. “Two employees were willing to take lay-offs, one quit, and two students had to be let go,” he said. However, he claimed there will be no more lay-offs. As an alternative to the second floor cafeteria, students will be entitled to $ 1.80 credit for lunch in the Rathskeller or the first floor cafeteria of Squire Hall. The other option is a regular contract lunch at Goodyear Hall. “The $1.80 is what the contract student pays for the lunch meal,” said Hoise. “If a non-contract student wanted lunch, he would have to pay $2.45 because tax is included and the contract student has a missed meal factor included in his bill. The average student misses meals,” he explained. 20 percent of the Sub Board... —continued equal shot,” Delia told the “when Board, everyone here knows they don’t.” “I disagree," Black said in an interview the meeting. after “Obviously Dick’s going to have an advantage, but there are other attorneys that handle such contracts. He’s not the only college attorney in the city of Buffalo.” ’ Director of Group Legal an In order to facilitate the contract students, Food Service has instituted the scatter system in the Rathskeller. Through this system, the cash registers are placed at the exit, so students can pay as they leave. “This should alleviate some of the lunch hour congestion,” said Hoise. “In the past, this system was done away with because students were ripping us off, but now we find that they’re paying for what they take.” Students affected by this change are not pleased. “1 ate a lot less on Monday,” said one student. “Usually I get all the salad and dessert 1 want. 1 was still hungry afterwards.” Jan Metzger, another student complained* “You don’t get much for $1.80 and my break for lunch is short, so walking over to Goodyear would make me awfully rushed.” Cindy Urvan was irritated by the crowded first floor cafeteria and also felt that she didn’t get enough to eat. Hoise said, “On Tuesday, I was in Squire at lunch time, visible to students, and I received no complaints from students. However, the manager of Food Service for Squire Hall received a couple of complaints from irate students on Monday who were not made aware of the cafeteria closing.” from page 2— other candidates for the Sub Board attorney contract will have an equitable chance. “Obviously Dick’s going to have the edge,” he commented. The bidding process keeps the attorney responsible to the Board Directors,” of Brownstein observed, “and that’s no reflection on the firm involved in particular.” Lippes - speaking candidly to Services- David Brownstein also the Board about his performance except for draft been and house claimed that if he charged Sub wine, “adequate,” Btownstein felj 'Board hit normal hourly rate, his “there can’t be aihy hatm in $22,500 tetatner.wt»|ifl balloon to getting new ideas.” He claimed $60,000. The attorney said he is a - “national expert” in the field of Group Legal Services and that he has shown considerable dedication to the student governments. “It’s insulting to me that you should bid every year,” Lippes charged. “For godsakes. I’ve worked my ass off for two years.” Depite Lippes defense and Delia’s new-found opposition to the bidding procedure, the motion to end the solicitations failed, 3~4-0. Thus, the advertisements in the Buffalo Law Review will continue. The selection process is expected to be completed by July, according to Black. • . . .

F< Spectrum Staff Writer Gong! And they’re off. Off to check out who’s purloining their books of wisdom. As the librarian scurries from behind her desk to side, stand in you your bewilderment. God, what did I do? This is an all too familiar feeling for those who use the libraries at this University. According to Directoi of the Libraries, Saktidas Roy, “Manual checking of books is a very delicate subject.” Under the manual system, a person leaving the library must reveal his or her holdings for inspection. Should they not volunteer, the check-out person requests to see the student’s belongings. Most of the security personnel ate students. “We felt that student assistants would be better than a retired policeman,” added Roy. Some universities employ former police guards for this duty, he noted. The new way to catch rip-off artists is known as the Tattle-Tape Detection System, manufactured by the 3-M Company. A metal strip inserted in the book is either charged or de-charged. When the strip is charged and one tries to leave the library, an alarm is sounded. However, if the book is properly checked out at the circulation desk, the r strip is deactivated through a book check unit. The librarian simply slides the book on the unit, desensitizing it, and the process is complete. One can exit void of hassle. Tact necessary Before the electronic system was implemented, the University libraries were losing 6 percent of the total number of books purchased each year, an estimated annual loss of $75,000. “Now we are" losing under one-half percent per year,” claimed Roy. No exact figures are available on the number of books stolen each year, because students have invented other ways to take the tomes. The first library to use the Tattle-Tape was Health Sciences on the Main Street Campus about five Almost years ago. simultaneously, the Law Library received the system. Some three years later, the Undergraduate UGL Science and Engineering, and Art libraries ceased manual too they as inspection the system. implemented Abbott, formerly Lockwood Library, housing nearly a million volumes and half of the University’s entire collection is without a detection system. The anomalous facility has a check-out person on duty who tries to remain as tactful as possible while carrying out this “touchy” job. The main reason for the manual checking is that with such a myriad of books in Lockwood, the costs of the strips would run about $75,000. In addition, the equipment itself would cost $11,000. “We simply cannot afford it,” said Roy. it’s legal Abbott Library will be moving to the Amherst Campus on June 10. The facility will be open for on June 12 and at that time detection system will be in The library was able to use special “capital budget fund” specifically designated for Abbott. The music library, still using the manual system, will get their in about three Tattle-Tape months. The question of legality in searching people has caught considerable attention. According to University President Ketter’s office, it is legal to search. To check people, the libraries have sought to hire persons they feel won’t be too overbearing. Roy explained, “Basically, we have a screening process in hiring.” use the use. the Stuart Lustberg, a junior here, takes a rather pessimistic view of both security systems. “I think they’re absurd, because anyone who wants to rip-off books can just stick them in their pants anyway,” he commented. Since the inception of the detection system, the books rate has fallen rip-off and tremendously hopefully fewer are people being embarrassed leave with books that when they haven’t been checked out. So, the next time you walk out of UGL and the alarm rings, don’t get charged up, just make sure your book isn’t. Monday, 20 March 1978 . The Spectrum .

AWB pulled within three points, at 45-42, but Control managed three free throws to widen the lead to six points. i AWB got into trouble in the first half as their leading scorer, Rich Spinnel (17 points) pot into foul trouble and had to be benched.

Just seconds earlier, Silber missed a layup (“1 was going too fast,” he said) and Boss Player Terry Diggs rebounded, only to be called for travelling after he came down with IlH! hall. That returned the ball to White Lightning with just three seconds left. “I was going to get the ball and shoot it of dump it off to Roy (Chipkin],” Silber'said of the final play. Silber took the inbounds pass along the right baseline, 20 from the basket. He saw Chipkin was covered, so he took the shot which turned out to be the game winner. White Lightning played most of the second half without their leading scorer Mark Golubow, who hurt his ankle. When Golubow sat down, he had 14 of his team’s 37 points, and that placed the pressure on center Chipkin and Silber to lead White Lightning back from a seven-point deficit. Chipkin chokes The Boss Players built up their lead, for the most part, without star forward Diggs, who picked up his fourth foul in the first half. Guard Mike Bridges led the Boss Players with some long outside shots. But after Gdlubow sat down, Chipkin became unstoppable inside, scoring seven points in a row at one point. Forward Ed Skolnick, who missed shot after shot for White Lightning, kept them in the game with a dozen or so rebounds. Diggs returned, but he couldn’t contain Chipkin or keep Skolnick off the boards. White Lightning took the lead when Chipkin made a perfect pass to the cutting Skolnick, who scored a layup. With about a minute left in regulation, Cornelius Moore stole the ball from Silbcr and scored a layup to tie the game, and send the game into overtime. A free throw by Diggs put the Boss Players on top with 119 left in the overtime. Frank Atkinson missed two freethrows which could have clinched the win for the Boss Players, but they nevertheless held the lead until the final play of the game.
